After reconciliation, Hou Ye chased his wife to the crematorium

Chapter 17 Advantages
The empress smiled and asked everyone to flatten, and then saw Princess Tingli frowning with anger on her face, so she asked, "Who made my Tingli angry?"

After finishing speaking, she looked coldly at Ji Moyan who was beside Gu Man, and Gu Man hurriedly saluted, "Go back to Empress Empress!" Then she raised her hand, "It's me! Princess Li is so angry, I have already told the princess, and I will explain it to the princess when I have time!"

After hearing this, the empress's face softened a little, and she laughed: "So that's it!" Then she turned to look at Princess Tingli, and said, "Tingli, it's better to be good since you're reconciled, don't hurt your sister's feelings for trivial things. Minute!"

Princess Tingli remained silent, turned around and sat down angrily in the first seat opposite Gu Man.

The Empress shook her head helplessly.

After the empress sat on the highest phoenix chair, the banquet officially began.Everyone stood up again and said auspicious words of blessing to the empress.

Then, the female relatives of various families presented gifts one by one.

Princess Tingli took the lead in presenting her gift, which was a string of prayer beads obtained from an eminent monk. The empress loved it very much when she saw it.Then came Gu Man, who presented the first volume of "A Dream of Red Mansions" to the empress.

Gu Man sent Qing'er to the market to inquire, and there is no such thing as "A Dream of Red Mansions" in this era.

Gu Man thought to herself, it must be boring for the empress to stay in this deep palace every day, why not give her a book to read to relieve the boredom!
After Gu Man explained the general content of the book to the empress, the empress was very curious and satisfied, and praised Gu Man severely.

After Ji Moyan presented the gift, the empress looked indifferent and sent the nuns beside her to receive it.

Ji Moyan still gave the Ye Mingzhu that Cheng Mo found to the empress.

Then, Gu Man saw that the Empress seemed to be about to say something, so she hurriedly interrupted: "Empress, I have something to say to you alone after the banquet is over!"

Looking at Gu Man's eyes, the empress became puzzled, and then nodded.Later, someone came up to present a gift, and the empress swallowed back what she wanted to say.

Later, whenever the empress looked at Ji Moyan and wanted to say something, she was interrupted by Gu Man. Finally, the empress finally found out that Gu Man did it on purpose, so she opened her mouth and said to everyone: "I'm a little tired, so I'll take a rest first, and you guys take it easy!"

After finishing speaking, the Empress Empress got up and left.

Then I saw the nanny next to the empress coming and asked Gu Man to go to the bedroom to have a talk.

Gu Man got up and said to Ji Moyan: "You wait for me here, don't leave, and stay away from the pond in the Imperial Garden!" Then she said to Qing'er and Lan'er behind her: " I'll go find the queen first, you two protect the little madam, I'll come as soon as I go!"

The two maids nodded and said "Yes!"

Ji Moyan doesn't quite understand why Gu Man wants to keep herself away from the pond in the Imperial Garden, since she won't go to the Imperial Garden.

Princess Tingli, who was sitting alone at the first place at the banquet, watched Gu Man and Ji Moyan being called away by the nurse next to the queen mother, so she also got up and left the banquet.

After arriving at the empress' bedroom, Gu Man saluted the empress, who smiled slightly and said, "Excuse me! You just said at the banquet that you wanted to find me, what's the matter?"

Gu Man said: "Your Majesty, it's not that I have something to do, it's that Yan'er has something to do! Yan'er still has a gift for you!"

The empress looked at Gu Man suspiciously, and asked, "Okay, I heard that you had a big wedding on the day of Cheng Mo and Ji Moyan's wedding, why are you protecting her like this now? I am really touched No brains!"

Gu Man knew that the queen's dislike for Ji Moyan was entirely due to her love for her niece, if there was no care, the queen would not care whether Cheng Mo married a fairy or a commoner.

Gu Man was moved, so she decided to tell the empress her thoughts.

"Your Majesty, I want to make peace with Master Hou!"

Hearing Gu Man's words, the Empress Empress was extremely surprised, but she still maintained her composure on her face, and asked, "Okay, three years ago, I tried to persuade Cheng Mo that although Cheng Mo was a Lord Marquis and had a noble status, he didn't like it." For you, I told you not to marry him. But you seem to be possessed, and you will not marry unless he is the only one, and in the end even..." The empress paused, swallowed back the words that she almost blurted out, and then said: "Now , but you suddenly said that you want to reconcile with Cheng Mo? Come on, tell your aunt, did Cheng Mo bully you?"

Gu Man shook her head and replied: "Auntie, I didn't make a sudden decision. It's because I finally understood what my aunt said over the years. I didn't understand it before, but now that I understand it, I naturally want to. Tian, ​​instead of going on like this day after day, why don't you let Houye and I be separated, and each of us will be happy!"

The queen's eyes were full of distress, and then she said with some worry: "But, if you reconcile with Cheng Mo, how will you deal with yourself? Even though it is a reconciliation, who knows what will be said about you? This is the way of the world. , After all, it is too harsh on us women!"

Seeing that the queen was worried, Gu Man hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Auntie, don't worry, don't care what they say! You'd better take a look at the gift Yan'er gave you first!"

The empress sighed helplessly, and said: "Okay, seeing how caring you are, then take it out."

Gu Man smiled, pretending not to take out the things yet, but moved her face to the Empress's side, and said, "Auntie, touch my face to see if there is any change!"

The empress pinched Gu Man's face with a smile, and said dotingly: "We're done, we're the first-class good-looking girls in Beijing, and if we change again, we'll probably be even more beautiful than the fairy girls in the sky. It's over!"

As soon as the words fell, the empress's smile changed, she raised her hand to look at it, and then she rubbed her hand gently on Gu Man's face, and suddenly said in surprise: "Oh, I didn't put on powder, I just put on it." Some lip balm?"

Gu Man nodded.

After seeing it, the Empress Empress couldn't help but enviously said: "Sure enough, it's better to be young, unlike me, who is going to be in her 40s now, so I can't compare to you young people!"

Gu Man smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are not old, Madam, in fact, my face is still supple without makeup, and it's not entirely because we are young, but more importantly, Sister Yan'er developed it." There is something called "Ningxiang Pill". After applying the water on the face, it can keep the skin elastic, firm and shiny. This is the real gift that Yan'er is going to give you today. Do you want to try it? ?”

Hearing what Gu Man said, the queen became interested and asked, "Is it really so magical?"

Gu Man nodded, "Don't you think I'm an example? Yan'er and I have done the experiment for you, and I guarantee that there will be no side effects!"

The queen looked at Gu Man's fair and firm face, and her heart was so excited that she hurriedly changed the maid to clean her face, and then Gu Man personally applied the face for the queen.

Then Gu Man operated, and after a quarter of an hour, he cleaned his face, and the effect was even better than Gu Man expected.The people around were surprised and praised when they saw it.

The empress's complexion looked much better, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes seemed to have faded.

The Empress looked at her face in the bronze mirror, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke it.

"This is really a good thing!" After finishing speaking, the queen looked at Gu Man again and asked, "Is this the only thing I have? Or..."

Gu Man hurriedly said: "Auntie, this Ningxiang pill is really difficult to make, time is tight, Yan'er only came in time to make this small box, no one else has it yet, only you have one here!"

After hearing this, the queen nodded in satisfaction.

This thing is indeed a treasure. If the young women in the harem find out, what advantage does he have?
