Chapter 71
On the day after the Flower Festival, news came out from the palace that the Queen and the Crown Princess would go to Baiyun Temple as a dojo, where they would fast, bathe and pray for blessings to thank the flower god for appearing.

Everyone in the world knows that the Queen and the Crown Princess are virtuous, but only those who were in the Moon Tower yesterday knew that this was actually a punishment.

One of the queen and the princess is in charge of the internal affairs of the harem, and the other is in charge of the inner courtyard of the Eastern Palace. If they suddenly go to Baiyun Temple, which is more than a hundred miles away from the capital, many things they are doing or planning to do will be disrupted.

This is no different from an ordinary foot-restriction order. If it was just a foot-restriction order, since they are still in Beijing, they must be more informed than outside.

However, the queen is a queen after all, even if she was hurriedly kicked out of the power center for a short time, she did a lot of things before leaving.

She handed over the Phoenix Seal to Prince Duan's birth mother, Concubine Zhao Shu, and asked her to temporarily act as the assistant to the harem.This move won praise from the government and the public, saying that the queen is worthy of being a good queen who is not greedy for power and is dedicated to serving the country.

At this time, it was reported that in order to slander the crown princess, Princess Duan mistook a miracle for an accident at the Huachao Festival, and even sued Concubine Zhao Shu with a villain's heart. layer shadows.

Concubine Zhao Shu was so angry that she called Princess Duan in and scolded Princess Duan. The emperor did not deal with Princess Duan, but Concubine Zhao Shu punished Princess Duan to think behind closed doors.

Concubine Duan was annoyed by King Duan for accepting a concubine last night, and was scolded by her mother-in-law the next day. When she returned home, she vomited blood and fell ill.

But this day, Gu Mingshu didn't wake up until she was exposed to the sun, and listened to the follow-up events in the palace intermittently, but she didn't have the consciousness of "everything was caused by me".

It wasn't until the afternoon when she received the invitation from the Song family that she vaguely remembered what kind of muddy water she had stirred up yesterday.

"Miss, the Song family said that you are the guardian of the fairy envoy. If you go to the banquet, those who used to look down upon others will never dare to slander you behind their backs again!" Nuan Feng laughed.

"Why, recently, some people look down on others and slander me?" Gu Mingshu tilted her head and asked.

Cuiwei wanted to talk about the fact that those mothers-in-law publicized Gu Mingshu's bad luck and Huachao was driven back in the middle of the grand meeting.But Nuan Feng took her one step ahead and said: "It's still the same old words, let's talk about it. There are no new rumors."

Cuiwei immediately understood that the warm wind was afraid that the new sewage would dirty the young lady's ears, so she didn't say anything.

So he also helped to change the subject: "Now, Ms. Song is already a famous 'little fairy' in the capital, and the story of her being inspired by the flower god has spread all over the streets and alleys. Lively, miss, why don't you also get a taste of the fairy spirit."

Gu Mingshu stretched her waist, and said, "I won't go. I'm not busy enough with the affairs of the house, so I don't have time to go to this impromptu banquet. I don't save people for the sake of eating."

Nuan Feng wanted to persuade her again, but Cui Wei tugged at her sleeve to tell her to stop talking.

Thinking about the warm air, yes.Miss really decided something, when did you change your mind?
Fortunately, Gu Mingshu's reputation has already been gradually improving, so she doesn't care about the limelight at this moment.

So, the song family's post was rejected.

The Song family was probably really grateful to Gu Mingshu. After receiving the euphemistic resignation from the Hailing Palace, his family sent several carts of gifts directly, and publicized her "protection" for Song Ningzhi.

Before, Yun Qianxue was so ruthless that people spread the news that Gu Mingshu was "returned" by Hua Chaojie. The women took the money and worked very hard, spreading gossip everywhere outside, but they didn't expect to be beaten in less than a day. Face.

This matter itself is not very interesting, but because of this fast and ruthless slap in the face, it has been talked about more and more. The fierce internal fighting in the back house of Prince Hailing's mansion has also been seen by ordinary people as the tip of the iceberg.

All kinds of rumors are getting more and more popular, even if Gu Mingshu is too lazy to inquire, she soon knows the ins and outs.

She didn't say anything, and directly found out those women who had been bribed, and sold them with great fanfare.

Not only was it sold, she also posted a notice directly on the outer wall of the palace, directly announcing the reason why the five women were sold.

The crowd was full of enthusiasm, and they all gathered in front of the notice to eat fresh giant melons.

In fact, nothing was written in the notice. It only said that the five women were dissatisfied with the mistress's investigation of their kickbacks. They were resentful and spread rumors to slander the mistress. , Stop spreading rumors.

The grievances and grievances in the inner court of the wealthy melon-eaters among the people have always been heard, rumored, and it seems that no righteous master has responded to this kind of speculation in person.

Gu Mingshu is so open-minded, everyone who eats melons has melons, and they leave happily after eating melons, and the rumors about the Hailing Palace have disappeared.

In the mansion, the old concubine wanted to punish Gu Mingshu for this, but after Gu Mingshu's operation, the reputation of the palace was much better than before, and she had no reason to punish her.

Yun Qianxue lost a few more generals, and was so angry that she couldn't eat, and everyone was haggard.

Gu Mingshu sold out her people, and then filled in those vacated positions with her own people. She became much more comfortable in doing things, and let Nuanfeng send Song Ningzhi a generous return with refreshed spirit.

Although Nuanfeng is stingy, he also knows why this gift is given. When writing the gift list, he didn't blame Gu Mingshu for being extravagant.

Not long after Nuanfeng delivered the gift, Cuiwei came back, and she also brought back a gift list for Gu Mingshu.

"Miss, this is from the pharmacy. The things are still on the carriage outside the door and have not been unloaded." Cuiwei said in a low voice.

Gu Mingshu was delighted to see it.

"Prince Duan's Mansion is quite particular. The gift list adds up to more than 200 taels, which is ten times more than ordinary people's concubines." Gu Mingshu played the list, and then handed it back to Cuiwei, "You can send it to Lan Yuan, After all, Hong'er is her servant, and the money from the sale should also be given to her."

Nuan Feng, who was waiting on the side, was very puzzled: "Miss, why? The things are sent to us, so naturally we are the ones to collect them."

Gu Mingshu smiled, and said inscrutablely: "I don't accept the money for this skinny business. If you collect this kind of money, you will have karma."

Nuan Feng didn't know much about it, but when he heard that collecting money would cause evil, he immediately stopped worrying about it and urged Cuiwei to leave quickly.

However, Gu Mingshu told Cuiwei: "By the way, let the prince's people withdraw from Lanyuan, so that the Ruan family's foot restraint order is lifted. However, if she asks, you can say that this is the prince's intention."

Cuiwei was taken aback: "What does the lord mean? Then she won't be able to raise her tail to the sky?"

Gu Mingshu said: "If her tail doesn't go up to the sky, how can I catch her? Let's do it!"

Ruan Meiniang was under house arrest for several days, and Cuiwei suddenly came to announce that the prince had lifted her restraint order, she was very happy in her heart.But because it was Cuiwei who came to announce it, I was a little skeptical, fearing that it was Gu Mingshu's conspiracy.

Then Cuiwei took out the silver and the gift list, and told her that Hong'er had been taken to Duanwang's mansion.
