Chapter 381 Gather people's hearts! (2)
Seeing that Pingguoer had accepted the bank note, Liuying said in a low voice: "I've been out for quite a while now, the father-in-law outside said that I'm not allowed to stay longer, I have to go back, my sister can take care of her."

"Thank you girls for me." Apple said again.

"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely take my sister's words with me." Liuying got up, gave Apple another blessing, and Fang Jing quietly turned and went out.

Apple waited for her to go out, Fang took out the bank note from under the pillow, unfolded it, and couldn't help being startled—it was 600 taels.

"This Miss Gu is really generous." Pingguo'er sighed helplessly, folded the banknote according to the original crease and put it under the pillow. After thinking about it, she felt that it was inappropriate, so she took it out from under the pillow again. Put it in the sleeve, and waited for a while, after all, I felt uneasy, so I called out: "Come here!"

"Sister, what are your orders?" A young eunuch entered in response, only standing still at the door, waiting for orders.

Apple'er glanced at the person coming, Fang said: "Go and see that the empress is awake from her afternoon nap, if not, call Xiangcheng to come over."

The little eunuch left in response, and after a while, Xiangcheng came over.

After entering the door, Xiangcheng went to check on Pingguo'er's injury first, but was held back by Pingguo'er: "Okay, my injury is fine, didn't you just see it at noon? Sit down quickly, I have something to say to you." you say."

"Your Majesty really remembers my sister. During lunch, I asked Sun Defu to ask twice whether the board is heavy enough to hit the bottom. I even muttered to the Long Live Lord during the afternoon nap, but was persuaded by the Long Live Lord. "Xiang Cheng took a look at the injury and felt that there was nothing serious about it. Fang turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, and asked again: "What's so important about my sister calling me here so urgently?"

"Look at this, it was delivered by Miss Gu's maid, Liuying." Apple handed the banknote and the small porcelain bottle to Xiangcheng.

"What is this - ouch! So much money? My sister is getting rich!" Xiangcheng laughed.

"Don't mention it, what kind of money is this? You quickly take it to the empress. How to deal with it is entirely up to the empress. If I leave this here, I can't even sleep."

"That's not enough, is it?" Xiang Cheng shook the bank notes in her hand, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's private treasury is under the control of your elder sister. No matter how many treasures you have passed through your hands, it's never been like this. It's just a few hundred taels of silver. Sister can't sleep anymore?"

"Then how can it be the same? No matter how valuable those rare treasures are, they all belong to the empress. The empress's mother can do nothing in the world, so what am I? Besides, I don't dare to take money of unknown origin. Give the empress more peace of mind."

"Okay, I'll take it for you, and I'll give it to the empress quietly when she wakes up." Xiang Cheng said, stuffing the medicine bottle and bank notes into her sleeves.

"Be careful, the silver ticket is worthless, don't put the contents of the medicine bottle in front of the empress carelessly, it's important to give it to Master Wei for inspection first." Pingguo'er warned again.

"I know, sister don't worry." Xiang Cheng said, and went to pour Apple a glass of warm water for her to drink before going to the main hall to be on duty.

Han Qian had a very short nap today. When she woke up, she saw that Yun Shuo was still sleeping next to her, so she quietly got up and tried to crawl over him and get out of bed.Unexpectedly, someone grabbed his arm and pushed it back.

"Oh! What are you doing?" Han Qian frowned and yelled, "Let go and sleep well."

"What are you doing?" Yun Shuo still closed his eyes, but he didn't let go.

"I'm thirsty, go drink some water." Han Qian sat up again, and raised her hands to straighten her long messy hair.

Yun Shuo opened his eyes and glanced at her, turned over, got out of bed, and poured half a glass of warm water for her on the high table next to him.

Han Qian took a few sips, then Fang raised his head and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"I didn't fall asleep in the first place - I still have a lot of things to do over there, I just want to accompany you for a while before I come back." Yun Shuo said, he had already taken the robe from the hanger next to him and put it on his body.

Wu Miao Xiangcheng outside heard the movement and came in to serve.

Han Qian just leaned on the bed and quietly watched the group of people get dressed neatly for His Majesty before getting out of bed, took the golden silk dragon crown handed over by Xiangcheng and put it on for him, trimmed the golden tassels around his ears, satisfied Smile: "Okay."

"I heard that you are going to hold a banquet at Qushui Liushang tonight?" Yun Shuo raised his hand and pinched the white jade-like earlobe, and asked softly.

"Well, I'm having fun tonight. Your Majesty might as well come and join in the fun. I'm immersed in those complicated and boring government affairs every day, so I should relax occasionally." Han Qian raised her hand and straightened the royal blue silver thread Looking at the collar of Xiangyun's flying dragon pattern robe, he smiled again, "The emperor's brother is only in his 20s, don't always be dull like an old man."

Yun Shuo laughed: "You think I'm old? Didn't you think I was in good spirits last night?"

A red cloud flew up on Han Qian's face, and he spat in a low voice, "Isn't it okay to speak well? You have to be so rude. Hurry up and get busy, she also has business to do."

Yun Shuo really has a lot of things to be busy with. The Northwest and Beimeng are at war, and he has to worry about many things. If he spares time to go to Qushui Liushang at night, there will be really no delay at this moment, so he bowed his head Kissed Han Qian's forehead, and left in a hurry.

Wu Miao and other people also disappeared with the emperor's departure, and the Qingliang Hall became much quieter.

Xiang Cheng'er waited for the little court ladies to help Han Qian wash up, and then retreated from the crowd. She took an ivory-carved comb and combed Han Qian's waist-length black hair, and whispered about Gu Ningshuang sending someone to deliver medicine and money to Ping Ping'er. Back carefully.

"600 taels of silver?" After hearing this, Han Qian was also surprised. As a first-class court lady next to the empress, Apple's monthly bill for half a year was only 90 taels.This Gu Ningshuang is 600 taels as a gift, which is really a big deal.

"Your Majesty, this girl from the Gu family is by no means a simple character! She looks gentle and simple, but she is actually more thoughtful than anyone else." Xiang Cheng'er sighed in a low voice, "Our eldest girl stays with her all day long... ..."

"Jin'er's thoughts are not simple, so don't underestimate her." Han Qian smiled lightly.

"Your Majesty said that the eldest girl of our family has been careful since she was a child, and she will never lose to Miss Gu." Xiangcheng said hastily.

Han Qian looked at herself in the mirror and didn't speak for a while.

She already knew the real reason why Gu Ningshuang came to Zhongyihou's Mansion, and Han Qian was not surprised at all by her mother's plan.Everyone around him believed that the emperor would never have only one queen.It is an eternal truth that a hundred flowers bloom in the emperor's harem, and even the Eldest Princess doesn't want to shake it.

But Han Qian didn't take Gu Ningshuang seriously either, the reason why she kept letting herself go was just looking at her mother's face.Moreover, she sent someone to the south of the Yangtze River to inquire about Gu Ningshuang, but when she learned that Gu Ningshuang and Wang Yunling were childhood sweethearts, her heart softened for a while, and she wanted to give her a chance to fulfill these two people.But she didn't appreciate it--it's no wonder she blamed herself.
