Chapter 226: The Concubine
Gu Wanyin glanced at the female official with a smile, then calmly removed her eyes, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I won't bother the mother too much." As he spoke, he got up and took his leave. After all, Concubine Rong has said everything about this, even if she is curious, there is no reason to stay.
At that moment, Gu Wanyin returned to the Empress Dowager's palace with the eunuch, and the eunuch didn't talk much, just concentrated on leading the way, and everything on the side didn't seem to care.
Just when Gu Wanyin was about to enter the Empress Dowager's palace, she ran into a group of people. The one at the head, dressed in dark red clothes, looked dignified and elegant. Not only that, but even the few female officials around him looked very different from other places.
Gu Wanyin only glanced at it, and guessed which master in the palace was it. At that moment, he hurriedly retracted his steps and stood against the wall, just waiting for the group of people to come over and salute.
The person at the head naturally saw Gu Wanyin as well, but the pace under his feet did not speed up at all, and his gait was still calm.
Gu Wanyin stood with her eyes down, but the corner of her eyes also saw this scene clearly. At the moment, there is a condensation in my heart - this bearing, this pride, presumably the identity is not low. In the past, when Concubine Rong was Concubine Rong, I didn't see such a big pomp. In this way, the identity of this person is already about to come out.
At this moment, the eunuch also mentioned in a low voice: "This is the noble concubine." ”
Gu Wanyin bowed her head slightly. Although I had already guessed it in my heart, I was still a little surprised - without him, this would be too young for the concubine. Obviously, she is about the same age as Concubine Rong, but it seems that the concubine is still in her twenties, but she has lost her childishness. It's just a little more calm and graceful.
It seems that this is really bāoyǎng for the noble concubine.
I was surprised in my heart, but Gu Wanyin didn't dare to show it at all. He thanked the eunuch softly. It is to say no more.
As she spoke, the concubine was already in front of them. The concubine paused, stopped her steps, and looked at Gu Wanyin slightly.
Gu Wanyin hurriedly saluted and said goodbye: "The concubine is well." ”
"No need to be polite." The concubine spoke. The voice is crisp and beautiful, like a yellow warbler out of the valley. The sound of the warbler is a crisp in people's hearts, and they can't help but feel a little softer.
Gu Wanyin suddenly understood why the concubine was so favored. Not to mention the extraordinary appearance of the concubine, this voice alone is already overwhelming the country and the city, and it is overwhelming.
"You're the princess of Zhennan Wang, right?" The concubine asked softly, seemingly curious; "I have never seen you in the palace."
"Back to my mother. The husband of the concubine is indeed Zhou Ruijing. Gu Wanyin replied softly, meekly and respectfully. Even with a hint of flattery, it seemed that he was very happy and stunned that the concubine could recognize him.
A smile appeared on the corner of the concubine's lips, and this smile made her expose her age - after all, she was not young anymore, even if she was good, this smile, the corners of her eyes also had a little trace of time. But if you don't look closely, it's not obvious - "Are you Rong Concubine's niece?" Look at the direction you came from, did you come out of the Rong Concubine Palace? ”
Gu Wanyin was slightly stunned. I was a little surprised. However, he also replied respectfully: "Yes, the concubine has indeed just come from Concubine Rong's palace." "Not to mention, just to say that this observation is subtle and quick-witted, it is already not simple. Seemingly. The reason why the concubine is so favored is not entirely because of her appearance?
"I heard that Concubine Rong has been in poor health lately and is extremely hard, but is it true?" The smile on the corner of the concubine's lips deepened a little, and she asked casually.
Gu Wanyin still bowed her head and replied honestly: "That's true." Concubine Rong and her concubine had just talked for a while, but they were physically exhausted. The concubine didn't dare to disturb Concubine Rong's rest anymore, and hurriedly retreated. ”
The concubine nodded and sighed: "It's not easy to give birth when you're old, and Concubine Rong didn't have a good health in the past, so it's naturally hard work at this time, it's really hard for her." However, her hard work in breeding heirs for the saint is very thoughtful. ”
Everyone knows that this is just a scene. If the saint really remembers Rong Concubine, then Rong Concubine will not still be Rong Concubine. It can't be said that the previous concubine position has been restored long ago. And if I remember correctly, the reason why Concubine Rong became Concubine Rong is that she has a lot to do with this concubine.
Gu Wanyin didn't speak, and stood quietly. It seems that what the concubine said has nothing to do with her - it has nothing to do with her. If you insist on talking about a relationship, it is that Concubine Rong happens to be her aunt. But she didn't get into anything that shouldn't be contaminated for this "aunt". The harem is overturned, but she has no interest at all.
Gu Wanyin's reaction made the concubine's bright eyes a little more curious, but the concubine didn't say anything, and only smiled at the moment: "The sun is so big, let's go in quickly." After speaking, he was the first to step into the queen mother's palace. However, the female officials and eunuchs behind her all stood still.
Gu Wanyin was stunned for a moment before she reacted - this was waiting for her to follow, and they would continue to follow.
It seems that the concubine is also extremely powerful to the people around her. I didn't see any hints from the concubine, but it could have such an effect. You know, in this way, it is quite with the concubine who gave her face. And how could she not have a crush on the concubine?
Gu Wanyin had a lot of thoughts in her heart at the moment, and her face was also suitably grateful, so she hurriedly walked a few steps to keep up with the concubine. Naturally, it can only be followed by the concubine.
The concubine also came to ask the Queen Mother for peace, otherwise there would be some palace affairs to return. It's a pity that the concubine was closed - the queen mother didn't know what to say to the old lady, but she gave an order not to let anyone in and disturb her.
At that moment, the concubine showed a hint of surprise, but she also said obediently: "Since this is the case, then I will wait." There was no trace of dissatisfaction on his face. It looks very well cultivated. Not only that, but the concubine even turned her head sideways and smiled at Gu Wanyin: "You wait with me?" ”
Gu Wanyin naturally couldn't refuse. First, she can't refute the concubine's face, and second, she can't just stand here and wait?
The two sat down in the side room, and the concubine looked like an extremely amiable person, and there was not much of a shelf. It's just the momentum that is revealed between gestures, but people dare not ignore it.
The concubine took a sip of tea, as if she was a little bored, as if to pass the time, she opened her mouth and asked softly, "You have a good relationship with Concubine Rong?" ”
Gu Wanyin's heart condensed, and her mind moved slightly-Guifei meant ...... "Back to Niangniang's words, although Concubine Rong is the aunt of the concubine, but when the concubine was not born, Concubine Rong entered the palace, and later the concubine only met with Concubine Rong a few times, and she couldn't talk about a good relationship." ”
"Oh. I see. The concubine nodded, as if she had a sudden realization: "I said why Concubine Rong was willing to let you be a concubine for the fourth prince in the first place." And when you married the prince of Zhennan, I didn't see her paying much attention. ”
Quietly, the concubine slightly provoked the relationship between Gu Wanyin and Concubine Rong.
Gu Wanyin just didn't know what the concubine meant, nodded and smiled shyly: "After all, the number of times we see each other is small, and it is reasonable to be alienated from each other." ”
"That's exactly what it is." The concubine smiled, looking extremely kind. But soon she looked at Gu Wanyin with a smile and said, "However, I feel very close to you." Nowadays, it is really rare for such a gentle and virtuous lady among noblewomen. Thinking about it, Zhou Ruijing also took a fancy to these and knew your benefits, so he asked the Queen Mother to marry. Even the old princess's wishes were ignored. ”
Gu Wanyin's fingers shrank and clenched slightly-the concubine was reminding her that she couldn't do it? Remind her that the old lady doesn't like her. When he married her, it was just Zhou Ruijing's insistence.
However, there was no abnormality on her face, but she smiled shyly, and there was a hint of blush on her face, as if she was shy: "The concubine Niangniang praised it falsely." Concubines weren't that good. However, Zhou Ruijing insisted on marrying her, although she felt surprised and puzzled, but she was even more grateful in her heart. If it weren't for his insistence, where would she be today?
"Whether it's good or not, we naturally see it." The concubine smiled gently, "I believe that Zhou Ruijing is not wrong." ”
"Thank you, Lady Gui." Gu Wanyin said this sentence sincerely. No matter what Zhou Ruijing thinks in his heart, she will not let him down.
"By the way, I also heard that when you were in the flood, you opened a porridge shed to give rice and grain?" The concubine suddenly changed the subject. And he praised with a smile: "To have such a good deed, you will definitely be able to accumulate a lot of blessings." ”
Gu Wanyin felt a hint of strangeness in her heart, and then her face showed a little sadness: "This is nothing. It's just that the concubine regrets it a little, hey. ”
"Oh? How do you say that? The concubine seemed to be a little curious, so she couldn't help asking.
Gu Wanyin knew that the concubine was just asking along with the words, but in fact, she couldn't tell all the inside stories. But since the concubine behaved like this, she also cooperated: "I thought it was a good thing, but who would have thought that it would become a bad thing in the end?" God is pitiful, a good deed of kindness, but it has led to a lawsuit. Even the face of the Zhou family made the concubines defeated. ”
When the concubine heard this, she suddenly showed a little surprise on her face, and said in surprise: "How come? It's obviously a great thing, why did you get into a lawsuit and lose face? After a pause, as if guessing something: "Isn't something wrong?" What led to this? Tell me, I'll judge you, and if you really have a grievance, I'll help you.
