Queen is fearless

Chapter 202 Unexpected
Gu Jinzhi leaned on the soft couch, listening to Concubine Lian talking about things she didn't know vividly.

I used to think that she might not be very sensible due to her young age, but after getting in touch with her, I found out that Concubine Lian is a very sensible girl.

Gu Jinzhi was worried that her "likes" for him seemed to be a bit out of the ordinary, so when faced with her request to visit frequently, he gave a more tactful rejection.

Therefore, in the days that followed, I occasionally heard reports saying that Lian Guifei had passed outside Fengyang Palace.

The Yichun Pavilion where she lives is far away from Fengyang Palace, even so, the roads near Yichun Pavilion are still smooth.

Except for coming to Fengyang Palace, there is no need to pass by at all, so her passage was deliberate.

The end of the new year was approaching, the weather was cold, even the age of your concubine, in modern times, she would be a little girl, so today, when she 'passed by', Gu Jinzhi ordered someone to invite her in.

Concubine Lian was very happy about the queen's invitation. After entering, she immediately saluted Gu Jinzhi with excitement on her face.

Gu Jinzhi noticed that she looked into his eyes full of admiration, although he didn't know why she worshiped him so much, but for the sake of her clear eyes, Gu Jinzhi asked her to have dinner with him .

In fact, since she came to Fengyang Palace last time, she has come here almost every day, but she is afraid that the queen will find out and find her annoying, so she seldom appears on the bright side.

Because of this, Gu Jinzhi only heard news about Concubine Lian occasionally.

Today, her time outside Fengyang Palace is not too short. Tang Pozi in her arms is already completely cold, and her hands are red from the cold.

"Hongxiu, I remember, before Dianzhong Shengxin sent two hand stoves, you take them here."

Looking at Concubine Lian's flushed hands, Gu Jinzhi knew that although Mrs. Tang was warm, it was not as effective as a hand stove.

She remembered that Dianzhong province had sent someone to send a novice stove before, but she hadn't used it.

After receiving the order, Hongxiu found out the two novice stoves and brought them into the hall.

"These two hand stoves were sent by someone from Dianzhong Province before, and it will be Chinese New Year. Let's see which one you like and choose one?"

I wanted to give both of them to Concubine Lian, but one of them was in the shape of a peony, which was not suitable for her position.

"Really? Do you want to give it to my concubine?" Concubine Lian's eyes lit up, her appearance reminded Gu Jinzhi of a Samoyed dog he once raised.

Every time, when I prepare food for it, it has bright eyes, looks at itself, and smiles very happily.

"Well, which one do you think you like more?" Gu Jinzhi thought, if she just likes the peony pattern, give her both.

If she likes the lotus pattern, give her one, and then add something else to her.

"I heard that the empress likes lotus, and I want the lotus pattern!"

After saluting to Gu Jinzhi, Concubine Lian came up to Hongxiu and picked out the lotus-shaped hand stove at a glance.

"Your Majesty, when do you want to use this hand stove? I want to use it with you."

Holding the hand stove in the shape of a lotus flower in her arms, Concubine Lian looked excited.

"This..." Gu Jinzhi had Mrs. Tang and a hand stove by his hand, both of which had been there a long time ago.

She was used to it, so Dianzhong Province sent a new hand stove, but she never thought about changing it.

Now hearing what Lian Guifei said, she hesitated for a moment, "Then wait until New Year's Eve, and then use it."

New year and new weather, it is good to use some new things. Besides, Baizhi had checked it before, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Then on New Year's Eve, the concubine will use it with the empress. Empress, can the concubine participate in the palace banquet on the New Year's Eve?"

The candidates for the palace banquet have already been drawn up, but Gu Jinzhi hasn't read it yet. Anyway, there are still a few days before New Year's Eve.

"I can participate." Even without her, it's just a matter of multiple seats, Gu Jinzhi replied with a smile.

"Thank you, ma'am, I'm so happy!" If it wasn't for Fengyang Palace, maybe even your concubine would have jumped up.

"Reporting to your empress, Zhong Cui Palace sent someone to deliver something." Outside the palace, the voice of the palace man's reply came.

"Come in." Gu Jinzhi looked towards the entrance of the hall and ordered.

Hearing someone coming, Concubine Lian returned to her normal appearance and sat down holding the stove.

Hongxiu put another hand stove on the table for the time being, and watched as Dongqing walked in from outside the hall.

"My maidservant sees the Empress Empress, wishing her good health and blessings forever."

Holding a brocade box in her hand, Dongqing saluted Gu Jinzhi, her gaze, calmly, passing over the hand stove on the table.

"Get up." After ordering, Gu Jinzhi looked at her. Qingluan said before that she felt that Dongqing was weird.

She sent someone to investigate Dongqing, and there seemed to be no problem. After punishing Qingluan to kneel down, she told herself about the conversation with Qingluan when she was in Zhongcui Palace.

From the looks of it, I haven't done enough research. This guy is called Dongqing, so he should have some knowledge.

"Empress, Wen Xiuyuan heard that it is easy for pregnant women to wake up at night, so I specially asked my servant to bring Ye Mingzhu."

"In this way, if the empress wants convenience at night, she only needs to take the Ye Mingzhu out from under the pillow, or give it to the palace servants, and let them take it out at any time."

Presenting the brocade box, Dongqing replied, hearing that it was Ye Mingzhu, Gu Jinzhi raised her eyebrows.

Last year, my mother brought Aunt Yun into the palace. At that time, Aunt Yun told herself that if she was pregnant, she must not use the Ye Mingzhu, it would be bad for the pregnant woman and the fetus.

Wen Xiuyuan asked Dongqing to send this. I wonder if there is anything else in it?
"Ye Mingzhu?" On the side, Concubine Lian spoke, and Gu Jinzhi's eyes fell on her.

"Back to... Concubine Lian's words, it's Ye Mingzhu." Unexpectedly, Concubine Lian would speak, Dongqing hesitated for a moment, and answered her.

"Don't Wen Xiuyuan know that pregnant women can't use Ye Mingzhu? It's not good for pregnant women and fetuses."

After getting the answer, Concubine Lian spoke again, with an uneasy expression on her face.

Suddenly, Dongqing was taken aback, and even Gu Jinzhi was a little surprised.

"Please forgive me, empress. Neither Wen Xiuyuan nor the servants know that Ye Mingzhu is not good for pregnant women and fetuses. This pair of Ye Mingzhu is Wen Xiuyuan's dowry. Xiuyuan has been reluctant to use it."

"I heard that pregnant women may wake up at night, and I was worried that it would be inconvenient for the empress, so I specially asked the servant to bring it."

Quickly kneeling on the ground, Dongqing said back to Gu Jinzhi, Gu Jinzhi took a deep look at Concubine Lian, and then looked back at Dongqing again.

"Those who don't know are not to be blamed. Speaking of which, I don't know that Ye Mingzhu will affect pregnant women and fetuses. You can take this pair of Ye Mingzhu back, and thank Wen Xiuyuan for your kindness on my behalf."

She smiled and said, even if she knew, she would not tell Dongqing.

Speaking of which, today's Concubine Lian gave her a little admiration. After a while, she should ask her carefully.
