The concubine rushed forward!

Chapter 3 Miss Houfu
"Miss, this servant girl looks good. The yellow background is embroidered with silver thread to embroider this hibiscus flower. It not only matches the name of the lady, but also matches the pea green clothes."

In the left wing of Xiaoxiangju, behind the main building of Songbaiyuan, a round-faced and attractive maidservant is pointing to a purse pattern for the girl sitting on the low platform.

I saw that the girl was only wearing a lavender chest-length skirt, and only had two plain silver hairpins on her head.

But even such a plain dress couldn't conceal the girl's outstanding appearance, and her pair of peach blossom eyes were even more sparkling, as if she had a thousand words to tell others, and people couldn't help feeling sorry for her.

The girl is Gu Panfu, the third concubine of the big house of Anyang Marquis, and she smiled softly after hearing what the maid said, "That's fine." The eldest daughter is Gu Panci from the first house, and the second young lady is Gu Panshi from the second house. Both of them are married.

Seeing the young lady looking at her and smiling, the servant girl jokingly said, "Oh, the young lady is so pretty, the servant girl would blush."

"If you hear this, you won't be afraid of being laughed at. Hanxiang, you can just talk about it in front of me." Gu Panfu smiled and pointed the forehead of the maid named Hanxiang.

"Yes, miss, don't worry, this servant knows." Hanxiang giggled and chose the pattern again.

Although Gu Panfu still had some smiles on her face, she sighed softly in her heart, she was not from this world, and came to this place called Dazhou all of a sudden due to overwork.

It's been five years since she first came here. She had a serious illness, and it seemed that Gu Panfu's life in the past ten years had been revolving around.After waking up, she had to live as Gu Panfu. The backyard of this big house was firmly controlled by the wife of the eldest son, Mrs. Li, and both sons and daughters had to be raised in the main courtyard.

And Gu Panfu suffered a lot from Li and her sisters because of her aunt and appearance.After she gradually became familiar with the environment and way of life here, she began to restrain herself intentionally, pretending to be obedient, gentle and a little timid. .

In this way, five years passed safely and steadily.

"Miss, sister Honghe in the main room is here. Miss Chuan and Miss Si are going to see Mrs. Shizi." Gu Panfu was still distracted, while another maid, Hanrui, came in through the curtain from the outside to pass the message, holding a book in her hand. Embroidery thread used.

Gu Panfu paused slightly while holding the hand of the pattern, "Okay, come and help me redress my makeup."

Gu Panfu sat in front of the dressing table, letting Hanxiang help her recomb her hair and face.

Although Mrs. Li doesn't like her very much, but for the sake of her own reputation, she only uses sarcasm in her words, and occasionally finds some innocuous faults, so that she will not be treated harshly in life. Never more than one point.This also made Gu Panfu breathe a sigh of relief, so Gu Panfu usually did not get in the way of Li's eyes except to greet her every morning.

On the contrary, Gu Panxin, the fourth young lady who lived in the right wing room, because her biological mother was Li Shi's dowry, often went to show her courtesy in front of Li Shi, so she also got a bit of Li Shi's preference.

It's just that the problem that makes Gu Panfu a little worried is that when Gu Mingyuan was not demoted a few days ago, Mrs. Li had already started discussing marriage with Gu Panxin for her.

Calling them over now, could it be for this matter, after she accepted her identity, she wanted to open up a lot.She also has to continue to live, and her life must go on.In terms of marriage, she didn't have any requirements at all, and she had to live well on her own when she married anyone.

But according to Li's temperament, she must be picked on by those who are negotiating marriage.She also failed to find out any news from the main room, so she could only deal with it according to the situation.

Gu Panfu stopped Hanxiang from wanting to reapply her make-up, and simply painted her eyebrows, and picked out a few simple-style hairpins and hairpins.The more low-key she is now, the better she is.

Gu Panfu took Hanrui with her when she went out. Although Hanrui and Hanxiang grew up with her and were of the same age, Hanrui acted prudently and had a more flexible mind.When the master and servant arrived at the door of Xiaoxiangju, the fourth lady, Gu Panxin, was already talking to Hong He, but when she saw her coming, she stopped talking.

"Third sister is too slow to clean up. Didn't she let mother wait for us." Gu Panxin was wearing a light pink beige and an orange pleated skirt.Because the weather in October is a little cold, I set up a small and exquisite hand stove.On the head is a gold thread ruby ​​walking shake, and it is matched with a few small hairpins.The makeup is also quite delicate, she has always been gorgeous in dress, and her temperament is also more flamboyant.

Although Gu Panxin did not dare to compare with her eldest sister who was born on the same day, she had to compete with Gu Panfu in everything.

Gu Panfu raised her eyes to look at her, and said softly: "Mother has always been lenient to us, now we should go there quickly, don't delay any longer."

After finishing speaking, without giving Gu Panxin a chance to continue the conversation, he walked towards the main room.

Gu Panxin was choked by Gu Panfu, and she couldn't speak at the moment, so she could only follow up bitterly, and make a note of Gu Panfu in her heart.

The two came to the main room, saluted Mrs. Li and sat at Mrs. Li's lower head.

Gu Panxin glanced at Mrs. Li's face, and saw that Mrs. Li had no intention of speaking, so she jokingly said, "Look, mother," as he spoke, he stretched out his wrist, which wore a string of red agate bracelets, The color is bright and the finish is good.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li smiled: "Isn't this just given to you this morning, so you just put it on?"

"Yes, as long as it is something given by my mother, Xiner likes it very much, and she can't wait to take it with her all the time." Gu Panxin looked like a little girl, with a smug expression in her eyes, which made Li smile again .

Gu Panfu quietly watched the scene of their mother's kindness and daughter's filial piety. When Gu Panxin saw that Li Shi was in a good mood, she would perform in front of her to show that she was favored by Li Shi, which was different from her third sister.

"Okay, I've called you here because I have something to say. You're not too young, and Panfu is going to be old next year, so I'll just say something straight. A few days ago, your father and I made a deal with you. Candidates for marriage, I want to talk to you, choose a date to see each other, so that the matter can be finalized." Li's face was like a mother's, and the words were nice.

Glancing at Gu Panxin's shy face, and seeing Gu Panfu still frowning, she felt very uncomfortable. The family she found for Gu Panxin was naturally very good, and it was a good relationship. It can be regarded as the return of Gu Panxin's mother and daughter for keeping low and small in front of her for so many years.

So what is Gu Panfu? Her biological mother, Aunt Sun, was favored by her beauty when she was young, and she often arranged her in front of Gu Mingyuan, but she gave birth to a daughter, and at that time she wanted to overwhelm her.

If it wasn't for Aunt Sun's own stupidity that made Gu Mingyuan become impatient with her, she might not be able to handle Gu Panfu even now.

Houfu's daughter shouldn't be a concubine, she really disgusts this mother and daughter, they have such a vicious look.Mrs. Li then persuaded Gu Mingyuan to tell Gu Panfu to be the concubine of the present emperor's cousin King Ningjun. The king of Ningjun is always greedy for beauty. If it weren't for Princess Ningjun who is extremely powerful, the concubines would probably be blocked. The backyard is full, and it will be difficult for Gu Panfu to marry in the past.

But now that she has to enter the palace for draft, she can't let it out, even if she loses the election, the marriage is not easy to handle now.

Mrs. Li suppressed the anger in her heart: "However, it is different now, and it is not easy to bring up the matter of discussing marriage. The old lady has sent a message to let the girl of the right age in the family enter the palace for a draft next year. The Hou Mansion is also in our big room. You two are suitable, you two will go to see the old lady with me tomorrow morning."

Hearing these words, both people in the room were taken aback, and Gu Panxin's reddish face was filled with joy, and the hand holding the handkerchief began to tremble slightly: "Mother, are you serious?" Li Shi has some face in front of her, and she just looks forward to marrying high, so she dare not think about the draft.

Because of what the old lady had said, only prostitute daughters are considered in the draft, and it is better for concubine daughters to marry themselves at home.She has also slandered her secretly, and her appearance is no worse than that of her prostitute, so she will definitely be selected in the draft.Now that she has such an opportunity, she is really overjoyed, no matter how high the family status is, how can it compare to the glory and wealth in the palace.

Although Gu Panfu only showed a slightly shocked expression on her face, she still breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Just now when Mrs. Li mentioned the matter of proposing marriage, she felt very uneasy in her heart. Not everyone said that women's sixth sense is very accurate, so she felt that The marriage that Mrs. Li told her was probably not good.

However, entering the palace for the draft has solved her predicament. There are too few choices for women now. Regardless of whether she is selected or not, the draft will always allow her to escape from Li Shi's control for a period of time, and she will have time to plan for herself.

"Why, can the old lady and I deceive you?" Mrs. Li frowned after hearing Gu Panxin's words.

"Daughter doesn't mean that, she's just too happy..." Gu Panxin calmed down when asked by Li Shi, and explained embarrassingly.

"I'm going to see the old lady tomorrow. I think the old lady has something to tell you. You should prepare well when you go back. Don't lose face to the big house." Mrs. Li turned the jade wrench in her hand, "It's getting late, thank you Stay here, I have something to tell you."

When Gu Panfu heard the words, she knew that Mrs. Li had issued an order to evict guests, and she didn't care, no matter how much she talked with Gu Panxin, it would be fine, with her temperament, huh.

Gu Panfu pursed her lips, stood up, saluted and went back.

Seeing the smile on Gu Panfu's lips when she left, Mrs. Li's eyes sank. No matter what she did, Gu Panfu kept her brows down and her eyes calm.

Gu Panxin saw that her complexion was not very good, so she asked cautiously, "Mother?"

Li Shi recovered and looked at her: "Well, Xin'er, because you are obedient, I asked you to come down and talk about yourself."

"Yes, Xiner knows that mother treats Xiner the best, and Xiner will listen to what mother says." Gu Panxin picked up nice words and coaxed Li Shi to be happy.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li was really happy: "Although the marriage that I and your father chose for you before is not bad, it is not as good as the royal family. You are a little younger, and you are not in a hurry, but you have to draft. I I have to speak clearly to you so that you can understand.”

Li shi didn't want to talk to her at first, although she treated Gu Panxin better, but she didn't mean to make her look like her daughter-in-law, usually she just showed something between her fingers, but she didn't expect her to be useful now.

Gu Panxin is only fourteen after all, and she is also a concubine, and her vision and knowledge still can't keep up. For the sake of her son's future, Li also needs to say a few more words about her.If it was her Ci'er, or if she had a second daughter who was born on the same day, she would not use it to praise this unworthy concubine.

"The current emperor is in the prime of his life, and it is the first draft after he ascended the throne. There are few women in the harem, and there are not many children. If you can be selected, you will have a son and a half daughter. Not only your biological mother and your brother, The Hou Mansion can also be honored."

Gu Panxin has a biological younger brother of the same mother who is also raised by Li Shi.She was so excited by what Mrs. Li said, her face flushed, as if the glory and wealth were right in front of her eyes, she immediately stood up and saluted: "Xin Er thanked her mother for her guidance, she will definitely live up to the high expectations of her parents, and remember the kindness taught by her mother for many years."

Mrs. Li nodded: "Okay, you have to remember that you were born in the Hou's Mansion, and when the Hou's Mansion is well, you can be better."

Gu Panxin also happily agreed, Li Shi said a few more words to her, and then let her go back.
