Chapter 38: Gu Changning's complexion instantly became complicated.
The rich and beautiful black silk nanmu carriage slowly drove through the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.
It has been stopped at the gate of the Wangxian Gate of the Imperial Palace.
Shen Zuihuan and Gu Tang got out of the carriage, and were led by the palace people who had been waiting at Wangxian Gate for a long time, through the majestic and tall corridor of the palace, all the way to the Zhaoyang Hall of Weiyang Palace.
That is, the palace where the imperial concubine Gu Changning was located.
The concubine has thousands of graces and graces, and the crown favors the six palaces, which is something that everyone in the world knows.
And the Zhaoyang Hall is a golden-topped red door, which is gorgeous and abnormal.
Follow the palace people through a narrow ikebana with sparse flowers and trees.
Shen Zuihuan and Gu Tang arrived at the door of Gu Changning's bedroom.
She looked up and saw a few pots of gorgeous peonies planted outside the window of her bedroom.
The huge red and white flowers bloom unscrupulously, pressing on the slender but vigorous green branches, like hydrangeas.
Shen Zuihuan looked at the flower, and suddenly thought that Gu Changning had preferred peonies since he was a child.
And she herself is a girl as bright and moving as a peony.
It's just that Shen Zuihuan never thought that a girl with a temperament like Gu Changning would grow up and enter the harem with the strictest rules.
She always felt that the Gu Changning in her memory was incompatible with this dull palace.
Although thinking like this, Shen Zuihuan and Gu Tang were still brought into the Zhaoyang Hall by Chunlan, the palace maid of the Zhaoyang Palace.
The delicate and elegant palace is lit with incense.
A pale cyan mist drifted into the inner chamber.
Shen Zuihuan raised his eyes and looked forward, and through the plain screen between the moon gate and the inner room, he vaguely saw a figure of Na.
I saw that the woman lying on the agarwood sandalwood couch was wearing a drunken red cloud silk slanted shirt.
The cloud sideburns are half scattered, and they are lazily teasing the child in the nurse's arms.
Gu Tang had long wanted to see his little cousin.
See this scene.
He smiled excitedly and ran around the screen into the inner room.
Crisply shouted: "Auntie! ”
Gu Changning raised his eyes, saw Gu Tang, and immediately smiled.
He beckoned to her and said, "Roujia has arrived, come over and let my aunt hug me." ”
But Gu Tang didn't go over, but walked straight to the nurse holding the second prince.
He looked up and asked Gu Changning and said, "Auntie, I want to see my cousin first." ”
When Gu Changning heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he said with a smile: "Okay, you Gu Roujia, if you have a cousin, you will forget your aunt, right?" ”
Gu Tang smiled embarrassedly.
When she looked down, she saw a red, monkey-like child in the swaddling clothes staring at her with a pair of dripping black eyes.
She frowned, and then heard her aunt ask, "Isn't it ugly?" ”
Gu Tang glanced at the aunt of the bright beauty, and then looked down at the ugly cousin.
I couldn't speak for a long time.
Gu Changning smiled: "It's even uglier when you are born." She said with a look of disgust: "I wanted to lose him at that time." ”
When Gu Tang heard his aunt say this, he was originally a little disgusted with his little cousin.
Now there is a little pity.
It's not much, but there is.
So she pulled the corners of her mouth and comforted Gu Changning and said, "Auntie, the child hasn't grown yet, and it looks good when it grows." ”
As she spoke, she walked to Gu Changning's side.
Gu Changning smiled and rubbed her fluffy black hair, and said with a smile: "You girl." ”
After a pause, she asked, "Your father brought you here?" ”
Her sister-in-law didn't like to attend this kind of banquet, and she knew it.
Every time, it is a prevarication of illness.
In the past, Gu Tang entered the palace and was also brought by Gu Changce.
She's already seen it.
But she didn't expect Gu Tang to shake her head when she heard this this time, she said, "My mother brought me here." ”
Hearing this, Gu Changning frowned slightly.
was surprised, only to see Shen Zuihuan's slender figure coming from behind the plain screen.
She wore a light crimson soft cigarette today, with cloudy sideburns and beautiful eyebrows.
The whole person looks graceful and looks good.
Gu Changning knew that his sister-in-law had always been a beauty.
But when I saw her today, it was inevitable that a look of surprise flashed in my eyes.
She raised her eyebrows, sat up slightly straight, and said in a light tone: "Changning is unwell, so I won't stay to greet her, and I hope my sister-in-law will forgive me." ”
This is really a shame.
It stands to reason that Gu Changning and Shen Zuihuan have known each other since childhood, and no matter how bad their relationship is, they should not be much worse.
But Gu Changning is a person who protects his shortness to the extreme.
As long as she thinks of Shen Zuihuan treating her brother and little niece like that a few years ago, she always can't put on a good face to Shen Zuihuan.
I thought that this meeting would have an unhappy ending.
But she didn't expect that her sister-in-law, who had always had a high temperament, said surprisingly considerate this time: "Changning is unwell, just rest, confinement is not a trivial matter, I have suffered a cold in confinement, and I have suffered all my life." ”
Her tone was soft.
Hearing this, Gu Changning was stunned for a moment.
Suddenly, I remembered what her mother said in her letter to her two days ago, Shen Zuhuan lost her memory.
She didn't take it seriously at the time, but now she ......
His eyes stayed fixed on Shen Huan's soft face for a moment.
Gu Changning's complexion instantly became complicated.
She lowered her head and met her little niece's somewhat flustered eyes.
lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and gently patted her little niece's hand to reassure her.
When Gu Changning raised his head again, he changed to a smiling face.
She and her parents are both different personalities.
If you can make your brother and Roujia have a better life in the future, what is it to say two specious words.
She smiled and beckoned Shen Zuihuan to come over to see the newborn second prince.
Shen Zuihuan was slightly relieved to see her appearance.
Just now, Gu Changning's cold appearance made her mistakenly think that she didn't like herself.
I remembered that I might have done something wrong before, and for a moment, I felt a little uneasy.
It's only now that I'm completely relieved.
Fourteen-year-old Shen Zuihuan has rarely seen a newborn baby.
I was curious, and I walked up quickly to take a look.
Her tender white fingers gently touched the second prince's small hand.
Raising his head, he said to Gu Changning in a somewhat novel tone: "His hands are so small. ”
There was a casual smile on the corner of Gu Changning's lips.
He answered her in a lazy voice with some sleepiness.
It suddenly occurred to me that Lan had said in the letter that her sister-in-law was only fourteen years old.
She asked Chunlan to bring it to the back, and the whole person sat up straight, leaned on the edge of the couch, spoke in a gentle tone, and carefully told Shen Zuihuan about the process and rules of the palace banquet.
