Listening to her thank her like this, Liu Ye didn't feel anything honorable, the matter was clear to Gu Qing, and she was only fueling the flames at best.

"Let's all go back, I'm a little tired. So he began to drive them away.

After such a fuss, it was already late when he returned to the Mei Courtyard, Gu Qing didn't even want to eat dinner, and after washing up in a daze, he got on the bed and began to dream about Zhou Gong. Yu Niang didn't even respond to several calls, so she asked Ah Huan to prepare snacks and put them on the table, so as not to wake up hungry in the middle of the night and look for something to eat.

The days passed day by day, and it was midsummer, and there were a few cicadas between the treetops from time to time, Gu Qing changed into light clothes and squatted on the edge of the pool to play in the water, and Ah Huan was washing simple clothes on the side.

The water in the pool was extremely clear, Gu Qing rolled up his sleeves, exposed his snow-white arms, and swayed in the pool water.

"Miss, be careful, don't fall carelessly. Ah Huan reminded.

"This pool is shallow, I'm not afraid, what's more, the eldest brother isn't here. Gu Qing squinted his eyes and looked at the opposite side of the pool, wasn't it Gu Mo who practiced martial arts? I hadn't seen him for a long time, but at this moment, he was flying on the grass like an eagle striking the sky, and it seemed that his martial arts had also grown.

Ah Huan also followed her gaze, and immediately remembered the chatter between the cook and her servants yesterday, and told Gu Qingdao: "I heard the cook yesterday that it seems that the eldest young master is going to the general's mansion on an errand. ”

"General's Mansion?"

"Yes, the eldest young master has been practicing in the mansion all day long, and those martial arts can finally come in handy now. After Ah Huan washed all the clothes, he put them neatly in the wooden barrel.

Gu Qing nodded, not surprised, didn't that guy just have a desire to win glory for the country? Now that he can enter the General's Mansion, it can be regarded as fulfilling his heart.

"And I also heard that the second lady is going to be sent to the Etiquette Division? I don't know if this news is true or not, the Etiquette Department is a place where women who enter the palace as concubines learn etiquette, and the second miss is sent there, isn't it just that she will enter the palace as a concubine?"

Ah Huan told all the things she was listening to yesterday, and Gu Qing was puzzled when she heard it, her sister would be sent to the palace? Didn't her father agree to her marriage to that Ah Cheng? Why did she suddenly change her mind?

Not to mention whether Gu Ning can win a concubine position when she enters the palace? Just because of her age, she can't please in the harem where the crowd competes for beauty, Gu Qing can read and write, and she has also read a lot of books from the previous dynasty, and she knows a lot about the affairs of the harem. The palace has always been an old person, but listening to the laughter of the newcomer, coupled with Gu Ning's gentle character, if he enters the palace in the future, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck.

As soon as Gu Qing returned to the courtyard, he asked Yu Niang, will my sister be sent to the palace?

Yu Niang smiled, "Silly girl, Ning'er can be sent to the palace as a concubine, our whole house is naturally happy, and with your father supporting the court, you will definitely not suffer in the future." ”

There was a hint of confusion in this smile, she really didn't know how Master Gu arranged it in his heart, how could he ask Gu Ning to enter the palace?

"But, my sister obviously has a heart?" Gu Qing told Yu Niang a series of things that he had spied on behind the curtain in the front hall that day, and tried his best to prove that Gu Ning already had someone else in his heart.

Yu Niang's face was a little surprised, but she didn't forget what the old man told her that day, and she understood a little in her heart, and asked Gu Qing: "How do you know that Ning'er is unwilling?

"This ...... I haven't been there yet, but my sister has been talking about the person named Ah Cheng in front of me before, and it's the first time I've seen my sister so excited. ”

Yu Niang tapped the tip of her nose with her finger, and there was a hint of intrigue in her words, "Ning'er agreed, and my sister was also very satisfied with it." ”

Of course, Liu Ye is happy, her daughter is fortunate to be a concubine, if she gains a firm foothold in the harem, it can be regarded as fighting for some scenery for the Gu Mansion, and she has the capital to show off in front of her mother's sisters.

Gu Qing didn't know what to say, she stopped all the way to Gu Ning's courtyard, it seemed to be very lively, the maids were laughing and laughing, she looked at the courtyard entrance, it turned out that the seamstress of the Golden Hazel Workshop was being invited to measure Gu Ning's size, it should be to prepare for going to the Etiquette Division.

The seamstress did not slack off in her movements, told the people around her about the measurements, and said with a smile: "The second lady is very beautiful, and her waist is like a wicker. ”

Gu Ning's cheeks flushed, and he complained with a smile: "Don't make fun of me, this aunt is just wearing light summer clothes." ”

A sharp-eyed maid saw Gu Qing standing outside the courtyard, and quickly said, "Isn't that the third young lady? Why didn't she come in?"

"Didn't you hear that the second lady was going to enter the palace, and you were envious?" said another maid.

Gu Ning frowned slightly, glared at them, and with a smile on his face, he walked up to Gu Qing and took her hand cordially, pretending to be angry and said, "Why didn't my sister come in?

Gu Qing sneered: "Qing'er only learned that her sister was going to enter the palace today, so she thought that she should come and see her sister." ”

Gu Ning covered his mouth and smiled, "How can you enter the palace so quickly?" It's just that I will go to the Etiquette Department to study in two days, and the draft will be half a year later, I have to hurry up, and I must not lose the face of my father and mother at that time." ”

"Draft?" "From the folk draft, you have to go through layers of checkpoints, whether it is age, appearance, or family background, there is great competition.

Gu Ning knew what Gu Qing was thinking, and dismissed the maids in the courtyard, and the two sisters sat on the stool and began to say some considerate words, "Qing'er doesn't have to worry about me, although I am a little older, but with my father's help behind me, I will be safe and sound when I go to the palace in the future." ”

"I know this, but it's just ......" Gu Qing hesitated, Gu Ning's face was happy at the moment, she really didn't know whether to say it or not.

"Qing'er, what do you want to say? Gu Ning comforted her.

"Sister, I don't know whether to ask or not, but if I don't ask, it will be uncomfortable in my heart. Looking at Gu Ning's expectant expression, Gu Qing organized the language in his heart, his mind was hot, and he still asked, "Sister, didn't you say that you had a good impression of Na Ah Cheng before?

asked several questions again and again, Gu Qing's serious and serious appearance made Gu Ning happy, she thought it was something important, it turned out that her stupid sister had not figured out the truth yet.

"What is my sister laughing at? Qing'er just thinks that if my sister has a sweetheart, she can live and fly with her sweetheart, so why go to the palace to endure the grace of Wu Wuchang?"

Since ancient times, as the emperor's harem, there are 3,000 beauties, grace and love, never the only one, the concubines in the palace are like cannibalistic wolves and tigers, biting people are not left at all, Gu Ning has a peaceful temperament, and the days in the palace will definitely be unbearable.

"Do you know, who is Ah Cheng?" asked Gu Ning with a sly smile.
