Chapter 108

As soon as the news of Gu Jingchan's promotion to imperial concubine spread in the harem, many women were still relatively calm when it exploded.They are very law-abiding, no matter who is in the top position has nothing to do with them, they have already seen it all these years, haven't they?There is no benefit in competing for favor, and maybe the emperor will reprimand him.Honestly being a concubine, you can still enjoy some things. If you get into trouble, it's either the Jingsi Pavilion or the Shangyi Bureau. Wherever these two places go, it's not fun! !
In a blink of an eye, the New Year's Eve has come, and Gu Jingchan has already taken over the Phoenix Seal, and the New Year's banquet is about to be organized.It was the first time for Gu Jingchan to take over such a thing. It was not so difficult, but it was really hard work in the past few days.

Until the morning of the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Jingchan sat up and glanced at her mouth involuntarily.In previous year's New Year's banquet, I could only spend my days lazily eating, drinking and having fun, but now I am the one who is most bored.For the past seven days, she has been exhausting her mind and spirit. Although she dragged Concubine De and Zhan Luanxi into the water unceremoniously, she often didn't go to bed until midnight when she was busy. These days are really depressing!
Seeing Gu Jingchan's tired face, Yu Rong couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you tired? This is the first time you have to deal with this kind of thing, you must be tired. But no matter how tired you are, it will be two days later God, in the days to come, the empress should be at leisure."

Gu Jingchan got up with Yu Rong's support, and after finishing her makeup, she sighed softly with tiredness and gloom in her eyes: "I think it's a good job to hold the phoenix seal, but I just realized it after I officially accepted it. The more power you have, the more tired you will be. At this time last year, I slept until I woke up naturally."

"Didn't your mother still have a body last year? This year is a bit tired, but who will treat us Yuqing Palace poorly now? The slave is the steward of our palace, who doesn't sell the slave to save face? The slave feels that walking is windy." What!" A smile appeared in Biqin's eyes, she was so happy.Originally, when I heard the news from the lord, I thought that the empress would be implicated, how could I have imagined that she is now the imperial concubine, the ruler of the harem?

Gu Jingchan looked at Biqin who was full of smiles and shook her head lightly, even she herself did not expect to be in this position now.Concubine... the word "Huang" is a title, and the honor given to oneself is really not small.Thinking of Chu Mingyou looking at her with a smirk that day, she couldn't help but blush.Unexpectedly, he actually had such a strict mouth, and the surprise he said to himself was this.Although I don't like rights and status very much, but that woman doesn't want to fight?She was really happy to have the opportunity to be his wife.

"Look at Biqin's smile, she's so proud now! The empress is about to control her, otherwise she's going to bully others." Yu Rong looked at the smile in Biqin's eyes, and joked at Biqin Got up, then blinked and said: "A few days ago, she went to the gate of the palace and made a new little guard cry!"

Gu Jingchan shook her head and didn't say anything. Today, those concubines formally pay their respects to her, but it's exciting to watch.

After dressing up and having breakfast, Chu Mingyou had already decreed that Gu Jingchan should enjoy the queen's share of makeup according to her grade.Gu Jingchan is wearing a scarlet golden phoenix robe and a gold-plated nine-tailed phoenix crown. Compared with the queen's pure gold phoenix crown, it seems to be a bit downgraded. However, in the eyes of outsiders, Gu Jingchan is now a queen without a name .

She still lives in Yuqing Palace now, and Fengyi Palace still maintains the appearance of a mourning hall, so that the concubine can continue to pay respects to the queen.

Sitting on the main seat in Yuqing Palace, watching the concubines bowing gracefully, Gu Jingchan maintained an elegant and quiet smile, and said softly: "Sisters, don't be too polite."

Gu Jingchan smiled softly, cleared her throat and said, "Today is New Year's Eve, and it's a new year, and this year is coming to an end. During this year, sisters, get along well. It's been quite amicable, and I naturally hope that it will remain so in the coming year."

"The imperial concubine is right, the concubine will naturally live in peace and will not cause trouble to the concubine. But today is the New Year feast, if the concubine can reward the concubine with more delicious food, the concubine will naturally be happy." Dong Chunyuan smiled softly, and spoke respectfully and affectionately towards Gu Jingchan.

"When did Concubine Dong Gui become so sweet-mouthed? Sure enough, the imperial concubine is not ordinary, even the always honest sister Concubine Gui knows how to please her." Chang Qingrao glanced at Dong Chunyuan and smiled while covering her mouth, with It was somewhat provocative, although the words were aimed at Dong Chunyuan, but they were teasing Gu Jingchan behind her back.

Gu Jingchan was not angry, she glanced at Dong Chunyuan and said with a light smile, "Look at what Dong Guifei said, not to mention rewarding you with something delicious, even rewarding you with something good. It wasn't written by His Majesty himself. I gave you a pair of Spring Festival couplets, and you still want delicious food here in this palace? You don't want to bully me so I can talk."

After hearing Gu Jingchan's words, Dong Chunyuan was taken aback for a moment, then grinned and said, "Oh, I've been spotted by the empress, it's over, it's over, it's embarrassing, it's embarrassing."

"Your Majesty, look at this Concubine Dong Gui who is living like a child as she grows older. She is ashamed to be a concubine!" Yun Ran raised a smile and looked at Gu Jingchan, with a bit of sincerity in her eyes. smile.Yun Ran completely supported Gu Jingchan to curry favor with her. If she hadn't saved her back then, she would have hurt her body if she had a miscarriage. Gu Jingchan's promotion would benefit her a lot. Identity is impossible in this life, and it is absolutely not delusional.

Mu Lan glanced at Yun Ran who was smiling and said with a light smile: "Sister Jin Jieyu is now at a lively age, so don't be ashamed of Sister Dong anymore, be careful that she will pinch your mouth when she is unhappy. .”

"I'm not afraid, Sister Dong is a magnanimous person!" Yun Ran showed an innocent smile, then looked at Gu Jingchan and begged, "I just hope that the empress will not cast her eyes on the concubine during the New Year banquet. , the concubine can eat more delicacies, just to relieve my hunger."

Gu Jingchan heard Yun Ran say this, but shook her head and squinted her eyes with a smile: "Concubine De, Concubine Ming, look at how one or two of our harem are foodies, I can't tell if they eat. You have to testify to Bengong, if others ask, you have to say that Bengong did not treat them badly."

Hearing Gu Jingchan mentioning herself, Concubine De was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and smiled and said, "It's natural, but you don't want to spoil them anymore, otherwise her sisters will follow suit, isn't this harem a mess?" Got it?"

"I'm not afraid of a few sisters eating. It's just that what I want to say is that today is the New Year's banquet. Civil and military officials, clansmen and relatives are all watching. Our harem is a family, and harmony is the most important thing." Gu Jingchan raised her chin and said seriously.

"Yes, my concubine has been educated."

Gu Jingchan nodded, looked at the sky and said: "It's not too early, all sisters go back to the palace to freshen up, rest and recharge first, tonight is to watch the year, don't let it go until midnight. Alright, let's go Alright."

Seeing the concubines leave, Gu Jingchan breathed a sigh of relief. Talking on airs is really tiring.

Biqin looked at Gu Jingchan with envy, her eyes were bright and her tone was sour, and she said, "My lady is really beautiful with a nine-tailed phoenix crown. The more I look at my lady, the more ugly I feel. Jealous, jealous."

Gu Jingchan naturally knew Biqin's heart, nodded Biqin's head and said: "Now you are also the eldest maid of this Yuqing Palace, those little girls who don't call you Aunt Qin, say such sour words after Bengong, And not ashamed."

"Your maidservant is not ashamed! It's not that the girl is thin-skinned. Anyway, the maidservant just sees how beautiful she is now. The maidservant is thinking, if one day, the maidservant is like you." Biqin's face became more and more serious as she spoke. Hong, although she didn't have any thoughts about the emperor, but when she thought of the little guards at Bei'anmen, she blushed and her heart beat.

Gu Jingchan rolled her eyes at Biqin, let her take off her clothes, and asked her to help her to sit on the couch, waved her back, and the little maid raised her eyes and asked, "Are you envious of me? Biqin, you are not young anymore." , I don’t intend to delay you anymore. After the new year, I will tell His Majesty to let you get married first, and then enter the palace to be the aunt in charge when the child is older.”

After hearing this, Biqin's face turned red. She knew what Gu Jingchan said, so she couldn't help but lower her head in embarrassment, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Your maidservant doesn't have that kind of intention, your empress, don't make fun of your maidservant."

"Really? I know, you have been going to Bei'anmen, what are you doing? Looking at the plum blossoms?" Gu Jingchan raised her eyebrows, and looked at Biqin with her chin up, with a hint of amusement in her eyes.

Biqin looked as if she had been found out to have done something bad, her face flushed with shame and she said, "Slave... Slave... Oh, it's embarrassing to say it. Slave, I just think he's nice... He picked up the golden bead of Slave , Miss, you gave that to the servant! The servant embroidered a belt to repay him... um..."

"Okay, okay, don't say it, your face is bleeding. To tell you the truth, I also know that man, and His Majesty also said that he is really willing to do it. Now you are the maid in charge by my side. Marry him It can be regarded as a well-matched family. Besides, he is a guard of Habayashi, and he also has an official position, so he will have a chance to be promoted in the future." Gu Jingchan smiled, Yu Lixian is not bad.Now there are two sons and one daughter in the Yu family, the eldest son studies literature, the second son practices martial arts, and the two sons are all good.Besides, Yu's family was born in a merchant family, so how could Biqin, a second-rank female official, be treated badly when she married into their family?

Biqin lowered her head, she also knew that her young lady was very nice and treated her very well.As Gu Jingchan's status got higher and higher, her knowledge became wider and wider.She didn't know that her identity was much different from the son of the Ji family, so she always had admiration, but later on, she found out that when she married into such a family with her own identity, she had to look at the young lady's face as a concubine. How can it be better?

"Your servant doesn't ask for anything. I know that your mother is doing my best for this servant. Don't worry, even if your servant gets married in the future, she will still come back to serve you and the little prince." Biqin spoke with conviction, her eyes firm.

Gu Jingchan smiled, but didn't say anything.After asking Biqin to step back, she just lay down on the couch in a daze.When Biqin arrived at Yu's house, she was the Second Young Mistress, she didn't need a housekeeper, and she didn't need to be a long-term daughter-in-law.And it has long been heard that old man Yu will hand over the family's property to his daughter and son-in-law. Whether it is now or in the future, this is indeed a good help for the Yu family.

When Chu Mingyou came, Gu Jingchan was in a daze. She was leaning on the couch with a graceful figure, only a thin quilt was put on her waist, her fair neck was exposed, and she looked white and flawless from a distance, which was indeed lovely.

He tiptoed to the side of the couch, pinched the pensive man's cheek lightly, and said with a smile, "Xiao Chan'er, what are you thinking?"

"Ah, whoops! You walk without making a sound. You scared me to death sooner or later." Gu Jingchan suddenly saw the face in front of her, her heart beat faster, and she gave Chu Mingyou a hard look. Said angrily.

"Oh, little Chan'er, you don't blame me. It's because you're so engrossed in thinking about things that you don't even know I'm walking in. Don't blame me, don't blame me." Chu Mingyou squeezed onto the couch, which was wide enough to The two lay down, but Chu Mingyou hugged Gu Jingchan tightly in his arms, and said in a low voice with ambiguity: "Are you thinking of me? Baby..."

Hearing the man's ambiguous tone, Gu Jingchan couldn't help but push Chu Mingyou away with her restless hands and feet, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing? I'm going to see my mother in a while, and I'm going to attend the New Year's banquet, and my hair has rolled away. Isn't it embarrassing in front of everyone?"

"Hey, okay, but you have to make it up to me tomorrow night..." Chu Mingyou bit Gu Jingchan's neck and said viciously.Then he hugged Gu Jingchan and sat up, asking her to lie in his arms and asked with a smile, "What were you thinking about so preoccupied just now?"

"Biqin is not young anymore. She is a female official now, and she can marry. Biqin has someone she likes, and you know that Yubayashi guards Yuli first." Gu Jingchan nestled in Chu Mingyou squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

Chu Mingyou raised his eyebrows, looked at Gu Jingchan and said with a smile: "Biqin is a second-rank female official. If you take the second rank in the future, she will be the same as a second-rank official. You are willing to marry her to a second-rank official." Little Habayashi guard?"

"Why can't I bear it? If she doesn't marry, she will have to guard me for the rest of her life. This is not good, and didn't you say that the Yu family has few rules. The eldest son has already married, and the sons have given birth to two. This Yu family has The family is separated, the eldest son stays here all the year round, and the eldest daughter has taken over the family business, leaving only one youngest son. Yu Li is a good boy first, and he also has intentions towards Bi Qin! He accepted the belt that Bi Qin gave her It's gone." Gu Jingchan thought of what Biqin said just now, and it was funny to think about it.Qiguo women give their sweethearts a belt, while men give hairpins or combs if they like that woman.I'm afraid the two have already hit it off...

Chu Mingyou smiled, pinched Gu Jingchan's nose and said, "Why do I feel that you are not marrying a maid but a daughter?"

"To be honest, Biqin is much more important to me than my sister's feelings. Since I was a child... eh, let's not talk about it. Did you hear that you can see Princess Shaohua tonight?" Gu Jingchan looked at Chu with a smile Mingyou asked.

Chu Mingyou nodded slightly and smiled and said, "Of course, my sister has been loved by me since she was a child, but she is a bit delicate. You, the sister-in-law, have to let her go."

"Tch, your sister is older than me. She can't act like a baby with my little sister-in-law, right?" Gu Jingchan smiled, but didn't say anything.The relationship between Princess Shaohua and Concubine De, I don't know if Princess Shaohua can deal with it well.

Chu Mingyou just smiled and said nothing.

As for Nuanyu Palace, Princess Shaohua looked at Concubine De, the two were relatively speechless, and it took a long time before they spoke.
