Chapter Thirty-Eight: There Are No Thousands of Eaves
"The third lady came, and the old man just drank the ginger soup, saying that he was groggy and wanted to sleep for a while. ”
When he saw Gu Qing, Steward Yu was surprised. As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, and the third lady will never take the initiative to come to Yuyuan, maybe she will poke out some moths, counting on the master to clean up the aftermath.
"It's almost noon, and you're still sleeping?" Gu Qing didn't believe it, he wanted to push the door in and take a look, strode up the steps, and pushed the door open despite the housekeeper's obstruction.
I just heard Master Gu's snoring.
Steward Yu said helplessly: "Look, isn't the master resting?"
Gu Qing waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, you go out first." My father is sick and I should take care of it, so you can wait outside. ”
"But...... The lord had instructed that no one should come in. Yu was embarrassed by the housekeeper.
Gu Qing suddenly calmed his face, looked at him coldly, and asked the housekeeper, "Don't you listen to me?"
I didn't expect to offend Gu Qing for a trivial matter, and Steward Yu was not afraid of her, but she couldn't resist it, so she immediately stopped arguing, anyway, if the old man blamed him, he would push it on the third lady.
So he made a gesture of invitation and said, "Third Miss, please come in, the old slave is guarding outside." ”
"Hmph, that's pretty much it. Gu Qing deliberately snorted heavily, just for him. When she walked in and turned to close the door, her originally pouting mouth suddenly grinned, made a grimace at the housekeeper, and closed the door quickly.
Anyone dares to be angry, but they don't dare to be angry with the housekeeper in front of him. Last time, Liu Yeke deducted money, but the housekeeper kindly rewarded them more in the courtyard, and he was grateful to him in his heart, so he almost called Grandpa Yu twice.
Butler Yu shook his head helplessly outside the door, the third lady is really getting more and more naughty, and when the old man wakes up, he will tell her fiercely, and let the old man repair her.
"Father, father?"
She crept to the bed, from far and near, whispering softly.
Master Gu was asleep, and his soft-spoken voice couldn't wake him up.
Gu Qing shook his hand in front of his eyes, shouted twice, and after making sure that he would not wake up, he began to look around the room, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find it, and buried himself to check the bottom of the bed.
Suddenly slapped her head, ah, she was so stupid.
The token is hung on the official uniform, so why don't she get it first?
Hurriedly opened the wardrobe, looked for them one by one, and finally found the official uniform, but Gu Qing touched it around, but he didn't touch the token. couldn't help but get anxious, and was worried that Master Gu would find her when he woke up suddenly.
simply took off the official uniform to take a look, but found that there was a small drawer in the cabinet, she opened it and looked, isn't the bright thing a token?
Under the token, there was a stack of old, yellowed paper, Gu Qing only took care of the token, grabbed the token and put it in his arms, and carefully looked at the still sleeping Gu master, exhaled a long breath, and after gently hanging up the official uniform, he left quietly.
When she came out, Steward Yu stared at her angrily.
Gu Qing snorted heavily, "I've waited for a long time, and my father hasn't woken up yet, so I'll come to see him later." ”
Butler Yu looked at the beads of sweat that were slightly soaked from the corners of her forehead, and estimated the time, the time for a stick of incense is not enough, why did the third lady wait for the beads of sweat to come out?
Gu Qing hadn't noticed it yet, so he wanted to come...... It's the first time she's done stealing chickens and dogs, and she's overly nervous from panic.
After successfully getting the token, Gu Qing drove to the palace in the carriage of the Gu Mansion alone.
I don't know if I can see the second sister.
——————
Since becoming Concubine Ning's mother, Gu Ning's small life is so nourishing, there are groups of palace maids serving one by one all day long, enjoying endless gold, silver and jewelry for her to decorate, even the dishes, there are no duplicates.
The only bad thing is that no one talks to her. Except for the most basic daily conversations with the palace maids, no one has a deep conversation with her anymore.
Mama Li taught a lot of intrigue in the harem, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, even the closest people around them should be careful after getting along for a long time.
Not to mention the concubines in the palace, all of them are elven masters, even if the emperor rewarded her with an ordinary hairpin, it spread to every corner of the harem in an instant.
Therefore, after hearing the news that Gu Qing came to visit the palace today, Gu Ning was overjoyed. It was noon, so he ordered the imperial dining room to prepare lunch immediately, which could be regarded as the first reunion with his family in the palace.
Gu Ning is not like Liu Ye, she is gentle by nature, friendly to others, and takes care of Gu Qing's cousin, even more care, no matter how difficult Liu Ye is, she is also dedicated to Gu Qing.
She couldn't say why she was so close to Gu Qing, maybe it was her personality, Gu Qing's heartiness and straightforwardness and her gentleness and patience just complemented each other.
Gu Ning was impatient, she was already anxiously waiting in the main hall, and when she saw the green clothes approaching on the opposite side, she stood up, trotted to Gu Qing, and took her hand, so intimate, and couldn't stop smiling on her face, "Why did my sister remember to see me in the palace today?" Come on, come and sit next to my sister." ”
Pulling Gu Qing and walking towards her main seat.
Gu Qing was also very happy, especially when she walked all the way just now, the rows of heavy eaves and vermilion walls she saw with her eyes, and the glazed tiles that were shining brightly, made her seem to see a new world.
And she knew that the scene along the way was only the tip of the iceberg of the palace, for example, she was sitting in Ningxin Palace at the moment, sitting on the main seat with Gu Ning, overlooking the entire palace, and there was quite a broad momentum.
"Is my sister tired all the way?" Gu Ning asked softly, picked up the citrus on the side, peeled it and handed it to Gu Qing.
Gu Qing smiled, took the citrus, broke a piece and put it in his mouth, it was really sweet.
"The palace is really big, bigger than Liufu and the Prime Minister's Mansion, if there is no little father-in-law to lead the way for me, I can't even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest. ”
Gu Ning covered his mouth and smiled, and quipped: "Next time, I won't arrange for my father-in-law to pick you up, and ask you to find it slowly." ”
Gu Qing shouted, but she didn't follow, "Second sister, that's not good, if you don't arrange for my father-in-law to lead the way, if I can't find it from door to door, I will go to the emperor to sue you." ”
"Haha, what can you sue in front of the emperor?"
"Just tell the second sister not to arrange someone to show me the way, slightly. After saying that, he stuck out his tongue.
Gu Ning touched her hair and smiled dotingly.
What Gu Qing said just now, if it came from other people's mouths, she would definitely not just listen to it, there is too much information in a sentence, she is standing in a different position now, and she must be vigilant at any slightest disturbance.
And Gu Qing said it without any scruples, and he didn't notice it at all. Of course, Gu Ning wouldn't mind, she knew the temperament of her sister who had grown up with her since she was a child.
"It's lunch time, and my sister must be hungry too, let's go, let's fill our stomachs first. ”
Gu Qing grabbed the corner of her clothes, there was a hint of hesitation in her big round eyes, and after thinking about it, she still spoke: "Second sister, in fact, I came here today because I want you to ask for an idea, or help me come up with a way." ”
"Oh, what's the matter, I'll hear about it. ”
"That's ......"
"Niangniang, the emperor is here. Before Gu Qing's words could be spoken, he was interrupted by the palace maid who passed the message.
As soon as he heard that the emperor was coming, Gu Ning immediately became overjoyed, and he didn't have the heart to listen to Gu Qing's account of what happened, so he carefully touched his hair bun, looked left and right, and asked, "My appearance is still upright, is there anything wrong?"
Gu Qingdao said: "What's wrong? The second sister is beautiful, no matter how good-looking." ”
Although it is said that women are pleasing to themselves, it is too exaggerated for Gu Ning to change like this, but after thinking about it, to become a concubine, the primary capital is the emperor's favor, otherwise what would you use to gain a foothold in the palace?
As Gu Ning went out of the palace to greet the emperor, a group of people knelt down and said in unison: "The concubines (people's daughters/slaves) see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live." ”
"Get up. The emperor waved his hand, and his voice was mellow and deep.
This emperor is Liancheng.
Gu Ning took the lead in walking in front of him, took his arm affectionately, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence that the emperor came up, the concubine just prepared lunch, and you came." ”
Liancheng nodded her nose, and the corners of her mouth curved, "That's it, it's better to come early than to come by chance." ”
Gu Ningjiao slapped him lightly, and smiled shyly when she was afraid that many people were present. Then he pulled Gu Qing, who was standing aside, over and introduced: "Your Majesty, this is my sister, named Gu Qing." ”
Gu Qing symbolically hooked his lips, showed his signature smile, leaned over and said respectfully: "The people's daughter Gu Qing sees the emperor." ”
Lian Cheng said, he didn't forget this woman, she was the one who eavesdropped behind the screen in the Gu Mansion, and she was the one who had the courage to enter the Phoenix Pavilion.
It's just that I haven't seen it for a long time, and the silhouette seems to be a little thin.
"Hmm. One word, it can be regarded as a response to the fact that he has already met this, Gu Ning's sister.
Then, Liancheng turned his head and said in an extremely gentle tone: "Didn't Concubine Ai say that she had prepared lunch? Now take me with you, deal with the government affairs in the morning, and I'll be hungry for a long time." ”
Gu Ning pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay, good, the concubine will lead the way for the emperor." ”
Only then did the group enter the Ningxin Palace.
Gu Qing couldn't help but be speechless, could this be the daily life in the palace? Everyone couldn't see the real heart, and they all said polite words face-to-face, she looked at the back of Gu Ning and Liancheng in front of her, and her heart was mixed.
During lunch, Gu Ning sat next to Liancheng, kept picking up dishes for him, and the two of them sometimes whispered some interesting things, which made Gu Qing feel uncomfortable.
Lian Cheng sat diagonally opposite Gu Qing, at the dinner table, but he didn't look at her squarely. But looking at the way the two of them looked like me, Gu Qinglao felt goosebumps all over her body, and she would rather squat in the corner with her rice bowl to eat.
