The Reborn Wife Returns

Chapter 157 You Made a Mistake, You Have to Pay the Price (6)
When they arrived at the mansion, Gong Qinglan asked her to sit in the Peony Pavilion, and found an excuse to go back to the house.

"Eldest young mistress, why did you invite Miss Qi into the mansion, but leave her alone in the pavilion?" Hongyu asked in bewilderment.

Gong Qinglan said with a smile: "The drunken man's intention is not to drink. She came to the mansion to talk with me. I'm afraid she doesn't have the heart. I'd like to be an adult."

Whether it will succeed or not depends on the fate between them.

After a few days, Qi Qianshang came to the mansion every day.After that, I went to the Peony Pavilion with the cakes I had made.

There was also news from the palace that the emperor intentionally or unintentionally sent Shui Qianqian into the palace to accompany Concubine Shui to relieve boredom.The emperor used the excuse of visiting the dragon species in Concubine Shui's belly to sit until Shui Qianqian left the palace, and then returned to the imperial study.

The corners of Gong Qinglan's mouth turned upwards, perhaps the emperor believed what she said that day.I have nothing to do, I am doing needlework.But he received the imperial edict from the empress to invite her into the palace.

Gong Qinglan had a bad premonition in her heart. Although the queen was gentle and amiable, she felt that she was not a good person to get along with.Is there something important to call her into the palace at this time?
After writing a letter, Gong Qinglan followed her father-in-law into the palace.

The letter was not found, and it was blown to the ground by the breeze blowing through the window, and it was blown into the foot of the table.

After entering the palace gate, he directly arrived at the Queen's Weiyang Palace unimpeded.

Dozens of palace maids in colorful clothes and pink belts on both sides folded their hands on their waists.Gong Qinglan walked past them calmly.Lightly step up the stone steps and enter the hall.

The hall is filled with a curly and elegant fragrance, which smells very good and can calm people's impetuous hearts.Standing in the center of the main hall, she bent down and bowed gracefully, lowering her eyes and said: "The daughter of the people has seen the empress Jin An."

"Give me a seat." The queen's gentle and benevolent voice resounded in Gong Qinglan's ears, and there was a friendly smile on her graceful and luxurious face.

Gong Qinglan raised her head, the queen was about 30 years old, not even [-] years old.The queen wore a phoenix robe, and sat dignifiedly and noblely on a phoenix chair. Her figure was plump, her brows were charming, but she had the awe-inspiring aura of a superior person.

Gong Qinglan only glanced at it, then sat down on the chair with her eyes down.

The queen took a sip of tea, and since Gong Qinglan came in, she has been sizing her up carefully.Her demeanor was generous and decent, when she entered the hall, she looked straight ahead, her eyes didn't roll around, which showed that she was a very well-bred person.

Country girl?

There was a sneer in the queen's heart, the self-restraint of a famous lady was nothing more than that.

Thinking of this, Liu Mei, who had been carefully drawn, frowned slightly, her eyes were concentrated on Gong Qinglan's face, as if she was looking at others through her.Immediately, she smiled softly and said, "Is my mother well?"

Gong Qinglan thought, is it commonplace for the queen to invite her into the palace?Although he thought so, he answered the queen's question calmly: "My mother is well, it's just that she has been exhausted after working so hard for so many years."

Hollowed out?That is not a few years to live head.

The queen nodded, put down the teacup, and asked some more about Gong Qinglan's age, name, and which family his father belonged to.

Gong Qinglan answered one by one, slightly altering the facts.

"Your mother brought you up very well. That day in Jingyang Palace, I knew you were a smart girl. I used to be close friends with your mother. Now that I think about it, I can only lament that good luck makes people fool." The queen's eyes With compassion, there is a hint of sadness between the brows, as if remembering the past.

Gong Qinglan wasn't sure what the empress meant by her words, so she didn't dare to be careless, and said respectfully: "The empress, Miao Zan, is ashamed to be a daughter of the people. My mother will be extremely pleased to know that you miss her."

The queen smiled sadly, and waved her hand: "Forget it, I called you here today, just to inquire about sister Yao'er's recent situation. Since there is no problem, I feel better in my heart." After finishing speaking, she asked the palace maid to bring Gong Qinglan in Take a walk around the imperial garden, save your meal before leaving.

Gong Qinglan declined, but the queen said: "The national teacher and the emperor are discussing important matters in the imperial study, you should stay for a while, and then go out of the palace with him."

Gong Qinglan looked at her irresistible eyes, blessed herself, and retreated.

The maidservant led Gong Qinglan through narrow roads and beautiful scenery. The more they walked, the more desolate they became. His heart sank, and he said, "Isn't this the way to the Imperial Garden? Is it the wrong way?"

The maid walked forward sullenly: "Miss Gong, this is a shortcut, and you will be there in less than half an hour. For other paths, you have to go around in a big circle."

Gong Qinglan was cautious, she had never been to the palace, so she didn't know whether her words were right or wrong.He pulled off the pearl bracelet on his wrist and broke the rope.After walking four or five steps, he dropped one as a mark.

Suddenly, the palace maid stopped at a moon arch and said respectfully: "Miss Gong, the garden is here." After saying that, the palace maid went back to reply.

Gong Qinglan raised her eyes, and a few peach blossom branches protruded from the high wall, bearing pink flower buds.Knowing that this is a peach blossom tree that blooms in all seasons, I can't help but step into the garden, and the pink peach blossoms that can't be seen at a glance are extremely pleasing to the eye.

"It's true that human beings are more tender than flowers. I don't know if they taste as delicious and juicy as the fruits of this peach tree?" A man in a royal blue lilac cocoon robe jumped off the wall, shaking a feather fan in his hand. , slowly approaching Gong Qinglan. "Tsk! Isn't this the little cousin of the national teacher? Why do you come to Taoyuan alone? Could it be a private meeting with a lover?" After finishing speaking, she frivolously raised Gong Qinglan's chin with a feather fan.

Gong Qinglan quickly took a few steps back to avoid him.

"Secretly meeting your lover in the palace, but you will be sentenced to castration. Xiao Wang, please do a good job and accept you as a concubine when the guards find you?"

Gong Qinglan knew in her heart that this was the fourth little prince who stayed in Liuxiang, Huajie all day and night.The emperor's most beloved son, he wanted to make him the crown prince.He was ordered to go to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief, but all the disaster money was used to build the Red Mansion and Chu Pavilion, which earned him notoriety.All the ministers remonstrated deadly, and just now dispelled the emperor's desire to establish a crown prince.

Just, why is he here?

Queen's set up?What's the point?Feeling panic gradually in her heart, suddenly, Gong Qinglan saw a pavilion in the peach forest.Two maids supported the unconscious Shui Qianqian and stood on the railing on the second floor.

My heart suddenly jumped wildly, and I opened my eyes wide, watching a palace servant put a fiery red pendant, shaped like a crabapple.Put it in Shui Qianqian's palm and hold it tightly.

Reach out and push.

bang——

Shui Qianqian is like a dilapidated puppet, face down, falling straight down.

"Let's go!" Gong Qinglan was amazed by this vicious method, and pulled the fourth prince to walk aside, but there were dense footsteps. "An Yi, hurry up! Grab those two servant girls!"

The two palace servants each held a begonia tasseled gold hairpin and stabbed at each other's chest. The moment An Yi arrived, they were killed!

Gong Qinglan instantly understood the intention of the person behind it. Shui Qianqian won the favor of the emperor, and it was a matter of time before she entered the palace.The concubine in the palace would not want Shui Qianqian to enter the palace to be favored.And she was at odds with Shui Qianqian during the palace banquet, and Shui Qianqian fought against her everywhere, so she would inevitably hold grudges in her heart.Now, if everyone got all the stolen goods, she would definitely die.
