The world is heavy and late

Chapter 166 The Birthday Banquet ([-])
Xia Qing sighed inwardly, rolled up his sleeves, put his hands inside, and thought to himself why Mrs. Gu didn't come yet?

She didn't dare to move a bit, or make any weird expressions.

Now everyone is looking at her, including of course Song Qi, the sophomore boy guarding the city gate.

Song Qilang watched Xia Qing stand there for almost an hour without moving, and she didn't even return the winks he gave her.

After waiting for a long time, he still couldn't bear it, so he signaled the people next to him to look after the ladies, and he walked towards Xia Qing.

Seeing his back, the others gave him an annoyed look.

This Song Qi is considered to have the best family background among them, and he is also loyal on weekdays. In fact, everyone is faintly centered on him, so although he is dissatisfied with him running away at this time, he still helps him watch.

Song Qi ran over and asked, "What are you doing here? I haven't seen you coming here before?"

Xia Qing glanced at him, and replied wearily, "Wait for someone."

Song Qi was a little strange. He was a second-year student, but he was born in the government of Zhen Guo, and many things were commonplace. He said, "Who needs you to wait? Madam Gu?"

Xia Qing nodded, and glanced at Song Qi in front of him, perhaps because he was too tired, Xia Qing chatted with him and said, "Where is your wife?"

Song Qi looked at her straightly and said, "For this kind of banquet, grandma only brings her aunt, sister-in-law and unmarried younger sister, why would she bring other granddaughters-in-law?"

Xia Qing sighed deeply under his cover, Song Qi touched her head and glanced at her, "Why don't you go outside and have a look?"

Xia Qing shook her head. She has gotten acquainted with Song Qi so many times. Now that she is attracting attention, people will know if she takes a step forward. This is not good for Song Qi and others who guard the palace gate.

However, Xia Qing rolled her eyes and said suddenly, "Why don't you help me take a look."

Song Qi looked at Xia Qing's bright eyes, took two steps back with some disgust and said, "I'm not going, and I don't know anyone, so I raised my head proudly and prepared to leave."

Xia Qing gritted his teeth, and then said in a low voice: "Hmph, you still say you are a brother. I think he is a person who has no loyalty at all. It's a pity that I helped you with our brother's loyalty last time."

How could Song Qi, who had a middle school illness and a fan of martial arts dreams, listen to such words, his neck was red, some were angry and some were ashamed, Xia Qing was really loyal last time.

He turned around and said weakly, "I, I don't know Mrs. Gu."

Xia Qing didn't believe it, and kept staring at him, he said, "How could I notice someone who has nothing to do with me?"

Xia Qing thought about it and thought it was really possible, because she didn't know how to pay attention, so she said: "Then you go out and call Mrs. Gu, whoever turns back will be the one."

Song Qi dawdled, this matter was too embarrassing, he didn't want to go at all, okay?

But looking at Xia Qingqing's lingling eyes, he really couldn't say anything.

Of course, in the end he went out under Xia Qing's coercion.

But when he saw the lady who was turning around, his scalp tightened again, and he really wanted to lower his head.

The most important thing is that there are several people he knows, this, this, this...

With all kinds of eyes, he searched around, trying to find someone.

Mrs. Gu was still looking at the Forbidden Army who made a sound, and didn't understand why there was no more text suddenly.

But Liandong next to her understood it at a glance. She glanced at the imposing maid next to her in her heart, but she was still a little afraid on her face.

After all, Mrs. Gu is a kind person, and the people around her are naturally not too domineering.

Liandong stepped forward and said: "Madam, Your Excellency is calling you."

Song Qilang could be said to have sharp eyes and ears, and he immediately pinpointed the location, heaved a sigh of relief, stepped forward and asked, "Are you the Gu family?"

Mrs. Gu quickly nodded her head and saluted, "Yes, my concubine belongs to the Gu family."

Song Qilang originally wanted to turn around and take her away, but after thinking about it, he cupped his fists and bowed back, "Madam please, Aunt Xia is waiting inside."

Mrs. Gu smiled, and said repeatedly: "It's really troublesome Aunt Xia Qing."

Liandong hurried forward, glanced at the maidservant, and then helped Mrs. Gu to the front with a smile.

The servant girl's face was a bit ugly, but she still retreated.

When Xia Qing finally saw Mrs. Gu at the door, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Qing gave Song Qi an appreciative look, but Song Qi glared at Xia Qing with a sullen face, then turned his head and lifted his chin and never looked at her again.

Xia Qing has no time to take care of him, she has to take Madam Gu first, and then stay with Gu Weiyun.

So, under the eyes of everyone, Xia Qing stepped forward in two steps, and supported Mrs. Gu who had just entered the door.

Everyone glanced at Mrs. Gu, and they all had some understanding in their hearts, and they looked at Mrs. Gu up and down.

Xia Qing obviously felt that the arm she was holding was a bit stiff, and she whispered: "Madam, don't be afraid, Your Majesty is the queen now."

Mrs. Gu's face was a little pale, and her nose was sweating a little, she had never seen such a scene.

The most honorable group of women in the world are here, and they are still sweeping her up and down. She never dared to think about it when she was the wife of a country gentleman.

Xia Qing wanted to laugh a little, for such a weak and innocent mother, the child was the complete opposite, with only a weak appearance and no weak inside.

As soon as Xia Qing raised her hand, the four servants in the back also lifted the seat and came forward, stopped in front of Madam Gu's stiff body, and knelt down to salute Madam Gu.

She didn't let Liandong take over, and supported Madam Gu to sit on the chair, then patted Madam Gu's hand, turned around and said, "Get up."

The four of them got up together, without shaking at all, smoothly and steadily, also, high above.

Xia Qing smiled, turned to face the crowd of Zhuquemen, bowed her head slightly, followed Madam Gu, and slowly left.

There were palace attendants who came back after being escorted and continued to wait. Seeing Xia Qing walk by, he immediately moved to the side of the palace road and bowed and lowered his hands.

This is the treatment that these courtiers and family members would not have been able to receive when they passed by.

The eyes of the people behind followed Xia Qing and Mrs. Gu away, and their eyes flickered.

Once in power, but that's all, how could they think highly of a squire?
There were some discussions at the beginning, "Is that Mrs. Gu?"

The lady next to her nodded and said: "It should be, such a decent aunt beside her can only be in front of her."

Then he said: "That aunt is not a simple one, she is young, and I heard that she cured the palace when the master was pregnant."

Some people looked at their backs thoughtfully, but some people didn't think so.

Someone snorted with an ugly face and said, "Shallow eyelids, why are you showing off?"

Everyone was a little bit far away from her. There are many people who are dissatisfied with Gu Weiyun, but this is the first one who speaks out directly with such a shallow mind.

Mrs. Gu, who was walking on the road, saw that there was no one around, and said, "Aunt Xia Qing, thank you so much for today."

Xia Qing walked aside, smiled slightly and said, "There is nothing a servant should do."

Mrs. Gu still smiled at her.

She knew this young aunt, and at the beginning she asked Gu Weiyun cryptically.

She felt that Gu Weiyun was alone in the palace, instead of finding a senior and capable aunt, he wanted a little girl in front of him, wouldn't it add to the trouble?
Gu Weiyun refused firmly, and took her hand seriously: "Mother, I treat Xia Qing like my own sister and my husband. Mother, don't despise her just because she is a slave. Otherwise, my daughter will be angry."

She didn't believe it at first, but she thought it was better for her daughter to have a friend in the palace alone than no one, so she didn't say much.

But every time I entered the palace and saw the changes in the attitudes of the people around me, I gradually felt that this might be true.

Afterwards, she also asked Mr. Gu who came back from the business, Mr. Gu pondered for a while and said, "Since that's the case, you should treat him politely."

So now, Mrs. Gu is somewhat close to Xia Qing.

Xia Qing didn't care what Mrs. Gu thought, she was thinking about what the birthday party would be like today.

She didn't think these people really wanted to come to participate in the Second Highness's catch-up week.
