Ten Miles of Red Makeup

Chapter 121
Gu Qingcheng got out of the carriage, looked at Fu Lu in front of him and said, "Eunuch, do you have something to do with me?"

Fu Lu saluted Gu Qingcheng respectfully, and said: "See empress, the emperor sent his servants to present an ornament to empress."

Gu Qingcheng looked at Fulu holding an exquisitely packaged box, just an ornament, and Ning Yu asked Fulu to deliver it himself?With doubts in his heart, he said, "Eunuch, I'm afraid there is something else going on?"

Fu Lu seemed a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty is smart, the Emperor said that the Empress Dowager has ordered the Empress Dowager Jing and the Imperial Concubine to handle this year's joint palace ceremony."

Gu Qingcheng thought: So it turns out that Ning Yu was afraid that her face would be dull, so she sent people to send these ornaments to please her, that's all, even if she was entrusted with those things, she still felt tiring, From outsiders' point of view, as a queen, she is not favored by the queen mother, and she has no real power as a queen. They really don't know that she is happy and leisurely. She doesn't value the so-called fame and wealth. These things are not wrong for her.

"In that case, I would like to thank my father-in-law. I will go back and tell the emperor that I have accepted it."

Fu Lu took the order and once again bowed respectfully and left.

Back in the dormitory, Gu Qingcheng opened the box, and inside was an exquisite walker. Gu Qingcheng was a little fascinated by it, and felt that it seemed familiar.

Hong'er asked from the side: "Your Majesty, why are you crying?"

Gu Qingcheng was puzzled, why did he say it, reached out his hand, and touched the wet teardrops in the corner of his eyes.She didn't even know why she was crying.

Gu Qingcheng smiled: "It's nothing, you go down first, I'm tired."

Hong'er and the others retreated, and closed the door. Gu Qingcheng sat quietly in front of the desk, staring at the step for a long, long time.

The New Year's Eve celebration is finally here. The night is dark, the brilliant palace lanterns, the Qinhua Palace are decorated with lights and festoons, and the lanterns on the corridor are just beginning to reflect this splendid palace. The palace with red walls and Zhuwa, in this grand In the days that passed, it seemed even more honorable and brilliant.

Ever since the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian came back, Gu Qingcheng seldom appeared in the eyes of everyone. She just spent her days in Shangyang Palace, pruning some flowers and plants, and writing and writing in her spare time. Rumors about Gu Qingcheng gradually increased. , such as those empresses who are about to be abolished, or the empress dowager doesn't like the empress's passing, how many versions can be spread by one person with one mouth, I'm afraid no one will remember clearly.

Every banquet in the palace is said to be a family banquet. When Gu Qingcheng came, he saw many court ministers, and he was in the royal family. There is no such thing as a family banquet. As long as it is the emperor's business, whatever Not all are treated as state affairs.

All the concubines from the sixth palace must be present at the year-end event. Even if Gu Qingcheng wanted to hide on weekdays, she must show up today. Otherwise, she would drown her in gossip, and her family would suffer because of her. to get involved.

"See the emperor, see the queen mother." When Gu Qingcheng came, Ning Yu and the empress dowager Xiaoxian had already arrived early. She had already gone out as soon as possible, but she was still late.

"Get up." Ning Yu spoke first, stood up and helped me up, and sat beside him. Gu Qingcheng glanced at the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian. Her mood today seemed happier than before, and she was smiling all over her face .

After a while, all the concubines from all the palaces arrived, Fu Lu received Ning Yu's order, and loudly proclaimed: "The banquet begins."

Gong Yi brought up plates of exquisite food, delicious wine and delicacies. On this day of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, everyone happily waited for the last day of the year to pass away and usher in a new year.

Because there are more concubines in each palace now, most of the family members of the concubines are invited to today's banquet. Although there are a few ministers, most of them are headed by family members.

Ning Yu filled the glass in front of him with wine, held the glass and said, "It's all a family banquet, so you don't need to be cautious, just drink to your heart's content."

Although the emperor said it was a family banquet, he was actually a person who lived under the hands of the emperor. He would not dare to be presumptuous so easily, but everyone cooperated very well.

After drinking for three rounds, all the courtiers and concubines said some auspicious words to Ning Yu and the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian. Gu Qingcheng only felt that the scene was awkward. She raised her glass and said to the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian: "I wish the Empress Dowager a happy life and a healthy life!" " A short sentence, this is what Gu Qingcheng has said since he came in.

Empress Dowager Xiaoxian replied: "En." Unlike the excessive greetings with other concubines and ministers, she just said a word of grace lightly.

Gu Qingcheng didn't think it was a big deal. She raised her glass and drank all the wine in the cup. The empress dowager Xiaoxian's indifference towards Gu Qingcheng is now known to everyone, but it is inevitable that some people will be surprised by this situation .

Gu Qingcheng put down the wine glass, only to feel that Ruoyouwuwu's eyes were wandering on her body, and those who could be respected should be able to gossip, not to mention that this kind of thing is nothing in Gu Qingcheng's eyes. She never took these things to heart, her waist was still sitting straight.

The hustle and bustle, prompted by the alcohol, gradually let go, not so restrained, Ning Yu's eyes, more or less stayed on Gu Qingcheng, Gu Qingcheng just pretended not to see, she is the queen, sitting in Ning Yu Next to Yu, Ning Yu put his hand over.

Gu Qingcheng was afraid of the cold. Although she was wearing a lot of warm clothes, her hands were still cold. Ning Yu's warm big hand came over and held Gu Qingcheng's small hand in her palm. She suddenly felt like crying.

Gu Qingcheng had the consciousness of wanting to break free, but Ning Yu increased his strength and held Gu Qingcheng's hand tightly. Seeing that Gu Qingcheng couldn't break free, he could only let him.

Looking sideways, I saw Gu Shangkun and Gu Yuncheng sitting at the table drinking wine quietly. Gu Shangkun clinked wine glasses with the left and right from time to time. Gu Yuncheng glanced at Gu Qingcheng who was seated when he was free. In the situation, although she didn't feel that she was at fault, she definitely didn't dare to take any drastic actions. She just returned Gu Yuncheng with a reassuring smile.

Gu Yuncheng moved towards Gu Qingcheng's direction, tapped lightly, and drank the spirits in the cup with his head raised.Gu Qingcheng knew the worry in his heart, took the wine glass on the table, and drank all the wine in the glass.

A pungent taste went straight into the throat, even though it was cold in winter, it was still conscious.

"Boom, boom, boom" the New Year's bell rang, and the sound was loud. In the courtyard of Qinhua Palace, fireworks rose, and the New Year finally came. Everyone celebrated and went out of the gate of Qinhua Palace, looking at the sky. The fireworks were in full bloom, but in an instant, the bright fireworks gradually dissipated, and after a while, another new firework rose into the sky, blooming more beautiful colors in the night sky.

The banquet finally came to a perfect conclusion. The concubines of the various palaces knelt down and went back to their respective bedroom halls. Immediately afterwards, the ministers also left the palace. It was rare for Ning Yu to be away from Gu Qingcheng for a short while. Gu Yuncheng and Gu Shangkun Salute to Gu Qingcheng. Although she is a queen in name only now, etiquette is still indispensable, lest people gossip. It's not good."

Gu Qingcheng smiled: "Father is serious, daughter is fine."

Gu Yuncheng said: "In the past few months, we have heard some gossip. My father and I don't care too much about it. It's just that my mother has lost a lot of weight after a few months. If you can ask the emperor Therefore, let’s go out of the palace to see my mother.”
