Chapter 373 Beg for a coincidence, unfortunately! (1)
How many nights has it been?Thinking of this question, Han Qian began to count anxiously, counting and counting, and found that he couldn't count at all, so he sighed helplessly.

"Mother, what's the matter with you?" Apple'er saw Han Qian's unreasonable sigh, and asked because of doubts.

Han Qian smiled embarrassedly: "It's nothing."

"Speaking of which, the son of King Yan was the one who surprised me the most. You said, why did he suddenly ask for an order to follow him to such a dangerous place? As a nobleman of the royal family, he will enjoy glory and wealth forever, so there is no need to work hard." Apple sighed.

Han Qian chuckled and shook her head: "Probably because of Jin'er."

"Because of the eldest girl?" Apple'er was taken aback for a moment, then understood, and shook her head worriedly.

Han Qian sighed: "Yunzhen really likes Jin'er, but it's a pity that Jin'er doesn't like him. Although this marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, it depends on your love and my wish to live a good life. Jin'er's Temper, I don't know what kind of person will marry her in the future."

"There is no need to worry about this empress. Although the eldest girl has lost her own mother, Shizi's wife treats her as if she were her own. Besides, there is also the uncle. In the future, the eldest girl will definitely have a good marriage." Pingguoer persuaded.

Han Qian sneered and said, "It's hard to say. As long as mother is alive, Jin'er can live in peace. If mother is gone one day, I don't know if sister-in-law can treat Jin'er like this."

"...Isn't it?" Apple asked in surprise.

Han Qian breathed a sigh of relief lazily, and turned to lean on the couch: "I also hope that this guess is wrong, let's just wait and see!"

Pingguo'er looked back at the western clock behind her, and hurriedly said: "The stewed bird's nest for your mother should be ready, servants go and have a look."

"Well, let's go." Han Qian nodded, but had already closed his eyes.

In a blink of an eye it is the Qiqiao Festival.

Originally, Han Qian was not in the mood to hold any activities, but Yun Shuo felt that she was too bored for a while, so he asked the Ministry of Rites to call a few young talents selected from this year's Spring Festival to the Summer Palace, and held a poem on the theme of Qixi Festival meeting.He also urged Han Qian to call several aristocratic daughters into the palace for fun.

Talented men and beautiful women are always the most wonderful things that people like to hear and see. Hearing that the newly selected talented men will come this year, Han Qian also remembered that the marriages of Wei Xiyue and other girls have not yet been settled, so he made a marriage in the name of the queen. Yizhi ordered all the unmarried daughters of officials of the fourth rank and above to be called into the palace for fun.

Originally, it was just for fun, but I didn't expect that the courtiers in the court would be ready to move when the queen's decree was issued.Nine out of ten people thought that the empress was a virtuous and virtuous woman, and she was choosing a concubine for the emperor.

Others don't talk about it, Gu Shi alone is very concerned about this matter, especially called his niece Gu Ningshuang to the front, pushed back the people next to her, and told her carefully.

Gu Ningshuang had originally made another plan because her favorite prince won the Jinshi this year, but now she listened to her aunt's repeated advice, and her heart was shaken again.

On the one hand, it is the wealth and honor that splashes the sky, and on the other hand, it is the friendship of childhood sweethearts.How to choose, made Gu Ningshuang's heart twisted into a twist.

This time, she still drove into the palace with Han Jin as usual, and Gu Ningshuang never raised her eyebrows on the way.Han Jin watched halfway, and finally couldn't help asking: "Sister Gu, what's on your mind that you frown like this?"

Gu Ningshuang laughed quickly: "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't received a letter from my father for a long time, so I'm a little worried."

Han Jin smiled lightly and said, "There's nothing to worry about. If there's something going on in your family, would you still keep it from your mother?"

"What my sister said is true." Gu Ningshuang lowered her head and smiled.

"Sister, is there something on your mind that you don't want to tell me?" Han Jin asked with a smile.

"Not really." Gu Ningshuang shook her head.

"Are you worried that my little aunt will make things difficult for you if you enter the palace in the future?" Han Jin looked at Gu Ningshuang with a smile, and his tone seemed like an insignificant joke.

However, Gu Ningshuang was taken aback, and her face immediately changed: "Why did my sister say that?"

"Okay! Don't hide it from me." Han Jin looked at Gu Ningshuang with a light smile, and said in a low voice, "Actually, I already know."

Gu Ningshuang slowly recovered from the shock, but she looked away and sighed deeply.

"To be honest, my little aunt is really not very easy to get along with." Han Jin shook Gu Ningshuang's hand and sighed, "If I were you, I would definitely not choose the path of entering the palace. But... I am not you, I can't make decisions for you."

"Actually, I don't want to either." Gu Ningshuang shook her head, "But, grandfather and father..."

"If you really don't want to, there is a way." Han Jin smiled lightly, "Look at Apple, what an honor it is to be married by the emperor and queen?"

"Yes! I envy her too." After hearing this, Gu Ningshuang raised her head and looked out of the car window with longing.How great it would be if I could get a marriage from the emperor or empress!It's a pity that although I was born in a wealthy family, I can't compare to a respectable maid...

When the carriage arrived outside the Summer Palace, Gu Ningshuang and Han Jin both got off the carriage, and followed the eunuch leading the way into the Summer Palace.

Slowly walking along the winding corridors, there are strange trees planted all over the palace garden, some with fragrant green leaves, or red green branches;I think it is probably because of the palace, unlike the solemnity and solemnity of the Forbidden Garden in the imperial capital, there is softness and beauty everywhere.

As the servants walked forward, Gu Ningshuang raised her head and looked ahead, but she saw Xiao Qiang's powder walls, carved beams and painted buildings, and many maids and servants came in and out.Entering the gate is a group of houses. After entering the second gate, you can see the corridors and verandas of the palace, with patterns, windows and carved sills, which are very delicate.The bead curtain was raised, and a soft voice came over my face.

"Miss Han, Miss Gu, the Luanfeng Hall is here, and the empress is here to accept the worship of the noble ladies from various prefectures. Please, please." The high-pitched voice of the servant brought Gu Ningshuang back to her thoughts.

"Thank you, Eunuch." Gu Ningshuang gave a slight blessing to the servant, then straightened her clothes, and entered Luanfeng Hall side by side with Han Jin.

Han Qian was already having tea in the hall, and there were several girls in beautiful clothes sitting beside her, all surrounded by pearls and emerald greens, fragrant and pink, and brightly colored clothes, one was more beautiful than the other, and each was more beautiful than the other.Gu Ningshuang looked up, she knew a few of them, they were Xiao Lianqing, Wei Xiyue, Yao Pingting and Su Lan from Dinghou Mansion, she didn't know the others, but she guessed that their identities and family backgrounds must be quite deep.

"The courtier's daughter (citizen daughter) sees the Empress Empress, and the Empress Empress is blessed with good fortune and prosperity." Han Jin and Gu Ningshuang bowed down together.

"Get up." Han Qian raised his hand and said with a smile, "You two are late. Take your seats."
