The light of the setting sun shines on the ground.

The vermilion window is ajar, and there is a hint of coolness.

Gu Li looked at the handwriting copied on the rice paper, and couldn't help but think of the time when Chu Xun taught her to write yesterday.

No matter how much he writes, he can't write the charm he taught.

She irritably threw the Buddhist scriptures in her hand aside.

Then.

Yuting hurriedly opened the door: "Miss, the queen personally gave you a post!" ”

"What did you say?" Gu Li's good-looking brows furrowed slightly.

Sure enough, you can't hide from it.

Yuting took a breath: "The queen said that she hadn't seen you for a long time, and she wanted the young lady to enter the palace tomorrow." ”

"I see."

Even if she was unhappy in her heart, Gu Li knew that this palace had to be visited.

Night.

After bathing, Gu Li leaned on the chaise longue, and the soft green silk was draped over her shoulders, and the beauty was thrilling.

"Pear, it's so late, still not sleeping?"

"Squeak."

The door opened suddenly.

Gu Li put down the notebook in her hand and raised her head with a surprised expression: "Mother, why are you here?" ”

"I'm naturally worried about you, I heard that the queen mother will invite you to the palace tomorrow."

Ji Jingzhi sat on the edge of the bed, looked at her daughter's delicate face, and sighed.

Gu Li put on her shoes and stepped forward to hold her hand: "Mother, I know that the eldest prince has always been interested in me, but my daughter doesn't want to marry into the royal family." ”

"I'm your mother, why don't I know your thoughts, tomorrow you are careful in everything, and your father and I will set the marriage for you as soon as possible." Ji Jingzhi's beautiful eyes flashed with worry.

She naturally didn't want her daughter to get involved in these imperial power struggles.

Regarding her husband's proposal, Ji Jingzhi also gladly accepted.

It's not dawn yet.

Gu Li got up early to freshen up and dress up, and went to the palace to meet the queen, but she couldn't slack off.

Today, she is wearing an azure gauze skirt, which is not as flamboyant as before, but has a little more soft and cold beauty.

Yuting combed Gu Li with a lily sideburn, and the middle was decorated with a butterfly's hairpin, which made the girl look even more full of aura.

At the gate of Gu's mansion, a wide carriage was parked around.

Gu Cheng, who saw his sister coming, hurriedly ran over: "Xiaoli, it just so happens that I am going to the palace to find Chu Ci, and I happen to give you a ride." ”

With him, he can also protect his sister.

After getting into the carriage, Gu Li spoke.

"Big brother, what are you looking for the second prince to do at this time?"

Today's emperor has always disliked the relationship between the prince and the courtiers, although the relationship between the two was very good before, but the current situation is not as good as before, and it is always necessary to avoid suspicion.

Gu Cheng lowered his eyes: "After a while, the emperor asked me and the second prince to go to Tanzhou to pacify the bandits, and I went this time for this purpose." ”

"You're going to Tanzhou?" Gu Li had also heard of the situation in this place.

The bandits over there are very rampant, burning, killing and plundering, and doing all kinds of evil.

Even local officials were helpless.

This is not a good errand.

If you are not careful, there will be some accidents on the road.

Gu Cheng also had concerns on his face: "The emperor wants to contain the Gu family, as for why he chose me and the second prince, it is also to test the relationship between the two of us." ”

This time, there must be someone from the emperor watching him.

Although Daddy is deeply trusted in front of the emperor, who would have expected the emperor to think in his heart?

"Can you not go?" Gu Li didn't want her eldest brother to take risks.

Gu Cheng said with difficulty: "Yesterday, the emperor had already made an edict, and he couldn't shirk it. ”

The road to the palace was not far, and while the two were talking, the sedan chair had already fallen.

Mama Gui, who was beside the queen, had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time.

Seeing the girl getting off the sedan chair, Mama Gui greeted her with a warm face.

"Miss Gu, the queen has been waiting in the palace for a long time, please go to Cining Palace with the old man."

Gu Li said a few words to her eldest brother, and then smiled politely at Mama Gui: "Trouble Mama." ”

Mama Gui looked at the person in front of her, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.

The eldest lady of the Gu family is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she is very compatible with their eldest prince.

No wonder the mother is so eager to meet people.

Such a beautiful woman, if she started late, wouldn't she let others snatch it.

Cining Palace.

A black hot stamping plaque hangs on the top, and the palace is full of luxury.

As soon as he stepped in, Gu Li smelled a good aroma.

The woman sitting on the chaise longue was dressed in a luxurious woven gold and green robe, wearing a phoenix bead hairpin on her head, and her whole body exuded jewelry.

"See the Queen." Gu Li stepped forward and saluted in a formal manner.

Noticing the girl's attitude of not being humble or arrogant, Qiao Qing's eyes showed appreciation: "Get up, let Bengong take a good look." ”

A majestic voice echoed in the hall.

"Yes." Gu Li straightened up and looked up at her.

Qiao Qing's face was well maintained, and if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't see the traces of erosion of time at all.

Especially those slightly charming eyes, which give people a fatal attraction.

No wonder the emperor has been favoring the queen for several years.

"Do you know why this palace called you today?" Qiao Qing straightened up, and between his gestures, he was full of style.

Gu Li was shocked: "Queen Mother, forgive the courtiers for being stupid." ”

She was calm on the surface, but her heart was beating fast.

It seems that the queen is going to say it directly.

"You and Xuan'er of this palace are very compatible, I called you here today to talk about this family business." Qiao Qing hooked her hand and said in a soft tone, "Come here." ”

Gu Li is not only extremely good-looking, but also a well-known lady in Dingbei City.

Qiao Qing was very satisfied with his son's vision this time.

If you can get the support of the Gu family, it is equivalent to getting a big boost.

Gu Li took two steps forward in embarrassment: "Queen Mother, the courtiers have just withdrawn from the marriage, and now they have no intention of saying goodbye." ”

"Marriage is naturally to respect your opinion, but Xuan'er is talking in front of me every day, I want to see what kind of person can fascinate my son."

Qiao Qing was naturally not in a hurry.

The little girl has just quit the marriage, and she must still be sad, if she sets this family matter now, wouldn't she take advantage of the danger of others?

When the time comes, Yixuan will blame her, the queen mother, for being too arbitrary.

Hearing that the queen didn't mean this yet, Gu Li breathed a sigh of relief: "The queen mother is really tormenting the courtiers." ”

Qiao Qing is also a face control, looking at the fair-skinned girl with outstanding facial features in front of her up close, she is ten thousand satisfied.

"I have long heard that the eldest lady of the Gu family has the title of the first beauty, and now that I look at it, it really deserves its name." Qiao Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took the initiative to hold her hand.

Gu Li was frightened by her sudden action, and even the smile on her face stiffened a little: "How can a courtier compare to the queen mother, you are the peony country, no one can match." ”

"You little mouth, you can really talk." This compliment made Qiao Qing very useful.

Gu Li lowered her eyes: "What the courtiers said is naturally the truth. ”

Just as the two were talking.

A rush of footsteps rang in my ears.

"Queen Mother, my sons have something important to report!"
