Complete Harem Raiders

Chapter 112

After Chu Mingyou accepted the pilgrimage from all the officials, he came to the Yishou Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, and then welcomed the Empress Dowager and others to the Banquet Palace, where they began to enjoy the annual banquet.

Sitting next to Chu Mingyou, Gu Jingchan's mentality was different.In the past, Gu Jingchan's status was lower and she couldn't sit in front of Chu Mingyou at all, but now she can not only sit beside him, but also sit side by side with him. This feeling is very comfortable after all.

In fact, Gu Jingchan has always had a knot in her heart. What makes her more depressed is that her father wanted her to enter the palace on purpose, but after she came in, she always cared.Ever since she was a child, she also understood that being a concubine is not glorious, and she is not so popular.Especially in the Qiguo harem, which values ​​the children of the first generation, she feels that there is no hope.Even though she was promoted all the way, Shuyuan, Zhaoyi, and Concubine Shu came all the way, facing Chu Mingyou, she still felt that she was a junior.

However, with the passing of the empress, Gu Jingchan felt a lot more at ease as the current imperial concubine.At least she can tell herself in her heart that she is already his wife, and the line of defense in her heart can be let go.

Chu Mingyou looked at Gu Jingchan who was smiling and said nothing, squeezed her hand, winked at her and said with a smile: "What are you thinking? Are you thinking of me!"

"Can't you think you can? You are mine at all!" Gu Jingchan turned her head to Chu Mingyou and asked with a mischievous smile.

Hearing Gu Jingchan's words, Chu Mingyou suddenly laughed and said in a low voice, "Yes, yes. It's okay to give you my whole body!"

"What are the emperor and imperial concubine talking about? But can you tell the old lady?" The queen mother looked at Gu Jingchan and Chu Mingyou who were talking in a low voice, and immediately laughed.At least Gu Jingchan's current status is much better than many concubines, and her son has already made a will, it is better to agree than to oppose, not to mention that Gu Jingchan's daughter-in-law is quite filial.

Gu Jingchan heard the Queen Mother's words, and suddenly remembered that this was a New Year's banquet. Although the foreign ministers were away, the prince's son-in-law and the princess consort were still there, so she was going to be laughed at by others.Rolling her eyes, Gu Jingchan laughed and said, "The concubine is telling His Majesty that the princesses and ladies of each family are all stunning beauties, and the concubine would be ashamed of herself!"

"Imperial concubine, don't say that! These girls are all careless. Look at these lively looks, how can they look like girls? Ai, look, all of them have reached the age of marriage, but bitter Hey, their parents." The queen mother is naturally happy, the princess of the prince's family, the lady of the princess's family, all the little girls have grown up now, looking at the little beauties, the queen mother has the idea of ​​wanting to be a matchmaker.

Seeing the Queen Mother's smile, Gu Jingchan naturally knew what the Queen Mother was thinking, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "If you see that girl, Queen Mother, you like that girl so much, why don't you invite her into the palace and be at Cheng Huan's knee?"

The queen mother glanced at Gu Jingchan and nodded in satisfaction, she actually had that intention.However, these girls were raised in front of their parents since they were young. Once they leave their parents, they may not adapt.The queen mother wanted her granddaughter to be by her side, but now there are only three granddaughters, and the oldest is only eight years old, which is too young.Thinking of this, the queen mother sighed and said: "Hey, although the Ai family thinks so, it is not good to let the little girl leave her parents. Besides, look at these girls in our family, how do they care about being dignified and virtuous! "

"It's still possible to find it anyway! It's Chinese New Year now, and it's reasonable for you to keep your niece and granddaughter by your side. As juniors, it's their responsibility to be under Cheng Huan's knees." Gu Jingchan smiled, yes.At the beginning, she was also with her grandparents. Although the old people said that they were annoying every day, they missed them after not seeing each other for a long time.

A New Year's banquet, with all the officials toasting, and the empress and concubine giving gifts, passed quickly.And the banquet at Zishi was purely a family banquet.Concubines above the concubine and the birth mother of the prince can participate.

After the New Year banquet was over, the ministers left the palace.It's still early now, and the Shangle Department is preparing another program, so the high-ranking concubine went to the theater with the queen mother.

Gu Jingchan could sit next to the queen mother, and this New Year's drama is the same as before, such as "Magu Offers Birthday" and "Heavenly Officials Send Blessings" every year, Gu Jingchan is tired of watching it, so she just sits upright Beside the queen mother, wandering in outer space.

However, after a play, two teams of beauties came up from the stages on both sides. They were all dressed in light green skirts with long sleeves and wearing fairy buns on their heads. They danced on the stage with smiles on their faces.These beauties are indeed good-looking, but their clothes are not flattering to Gu Jingchan. The lower skirt is light green with a white sleeve top, so it's okay but don't wear a pair of onion-like shoes, right?It looked like green onions dangling in front of her eyes, and Gu Jingchan felt a hot onion smell in front of her nose.

Others didn't think as much as Gu Jingchan, just looking at the beauties was all kinds of pleasing to the eye.The scallion beauties danced for a while, and then gradually walked up a woman in red from the stage on the right.She was dressed in fiery red, which was particularly eye-catching in the emerald green.When this woman appeared, many people frowned.

This is Chinese New Year, basically no one is allowed to wear Zhenghong except the Queen Mother and Empress, even the princess has to wear Yanhong.But the woman in front of her is all red, but she has a peacock embroidered on the corner of her skirt, and that peacock is golden yellow.This is no different from Phoenix.

The woman was dancing on the stage, her eyes flicked to Chu Mingyou from time to time, full of flirtation.

Just from these few glances, Gu Jingchan felt that this woman was not ordinary.She dared to blatantly seduce the emperor?What does Shangle Department want to do?Seeing that Dong Chunyuan is now relying on the eldest prince to raise all boats, is it possible that she still wants to achieve another one?How can Israel serve the king for a long time?
However, Gu Jingchan looked at it for a while, but felt that the woman's eyes were not drifting towards her, and she did not hide her blatant envy, jealousy and hatred. Looking at Mu Lan's disdainful eyes, she knew that Mu Lan must know something what.

The queen mother frowned, with a little helplessness and anger in her eyes.

The Queen Mother was indeed angry. The woman on the stage was Princess Yun Ya's granddaughter, the late Emperor's niece.Back then, Princess Yun Ya passed away due to dystocia, and her son-in-law died of an epidemic, so she was taken into the palace as an uncle.She is not very old, she is a full ten years younger than the emperor, that is, 12 years old.

She was eight years old when she entered the palace. At that time, Chu Mingyou had already married his side concubine. In his view, Yueyi was just a little girl, and he often joked with her that when you grow up, you will be his concubine.

At that time, Chu Mingyou was just laughing, after all, after she became an adult, Chu Mingyou was already quite old.Everyone thought it was a joke. After all, Yue Yi was a princess, and her blood relationship was also close to Chu Mingyou, so who would take it seriously?
But Yueyi took it seriously. Originally, Yueyi had been raised in the palace, and everyone respected her.The palace eunuchs all thought she was the imperial sister, and she might be named a princess by grace in the future.But as she grew older, her temperament became more and more arrogant, and she even ignored the concubine, let alone the servants, so more and more people were dissatisfied with her.

Among them, the deceased queen Ji Ningshu is one, and Mu Lan is one.Even Wang Mo Nan, who looked extraordinarily well-rounded at the beginning, was once so angry by her that she didn't eat for a day.

Just when the concubines were looking forward to her early marriage, news came that her grandmother had died of illness.Yueyi rushed back to the north to observe her filial piety, and she did not return for three years after leaving.At first, everyone thought that since she was 17 years old, she should also discuss marriage.But now that she came back, she still had a girl's hair in a bun and had not pulled it back.

While Gu Jingchan was thinking in secret, Yue Yi still danced to the end.At the end of the music, the dancers bowed to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and all of them retreated.

Chu Mingyou didn't wait for Yueyi to salute, so he stood up and said to the concubines: "Let's break up first, and go to rest. When I'm waiting for you, I will send you dumplings, so you can watch the year in your own palace."

When these concubines heard this, the older ones knew that the emperor wanted to solve the matter of the princess.Come on, don't keep it to make fun of yourself, let's go.

Gu Jingchan wanted to leave, but was stopped by Chu Mingyou.After all, Gu Jingchan is also her sister-in-law, and she will be a real sister-in-law.

When they arrived at Yishou Palace, the Empress Dowager and others sat down firmly.At this time, Yue Yi knelt down and kowtowed with excitement: "Yue Yi pays homage to Your Majesty, Wan An, and Empress Dowager Jin An." She did not wait for the Queen Mother to wake up after saluting, she stood up directly, and ran to Chu Mingyou A charming face beside him said: "Your Majesty, Brother Emperor, why are you unhappy when he is back? Just smile, why are you so serious!" Seeing Chu Mingyou's deeply frowned eyebrows, Yue Yi couldn't help but Gradually getting annoyed in his heart, he pouted and pulled Chu Mingyou's sleeves and said, "What are you doing! You are so disgusting when I just come back from you! Look, they even gave you a dance..."

Chu Mingyou naturally knew what she was thinking, she could calculate, but he couldn't respond to her.And for such a woman, Chu Mingyou really couldn't like it.He could only stare at Yue Yi and reprimanded him seriously: "Speak well, what do you look like when you're talking?"

"Well, Brother Emperor, I don't see you anymore, am I excited? I am just..." Hearing Chu Mingyou scold her in front of so many people, she looked aggrieved and looked at Chu Mingyou pouted. The mouth is full of reluctance.

Chu Mingyou sighed softly, and said in a slightly relaxed tone: "You, when will you be able to be more stable? How can you marry with this appearance? Besides, look at your outfit today... hey!"

"There is nothing abnormal about my outfit today! Well, isn't the empress's sister-in-law dead? Why do I dress like this..." Yue Yi said, and suddenly looked at Gu Jingchan, who was wearing a red robe with nine tails and a golden phoenix embroidered on it. Suddenly curled her lips and said: "So you are going to make another queen again? This is the sister-in-law of the imperial concubine, she doesn't look like a stunning beauty!"

Gu Jingchan curled her lips and said nothing, this month should be younger than herself.If counting her age in the previous life, she is enough to be the mother of this child, so why bother with her?

"Sister-in-law of the imperial concubine, why am I talking to you? Why are you ignoring me...Are you looking down on me?" Yue Yi looked at Gu Jingchan with a peaceful smile and felt a little angry. How could she ignore her?
Gu Jingchan squinted her eyes and smiled, such a childlike woman, you still want to quarrel with her, don't you?Raising his eyebrows, he smiled at Yue Yi and said, "Why would you look down on you? You are His Majesty's sister, so naturally you are also Ben Gong's sister. Since you call Ben Gong sister-in-law, you are one of your own, how can you despise you?" What? Are you right? Sister Yier?"

After hearing this, Yue Yi suddenly felt powerless. Isn't this bullying?How should I deal with it?After all, Gu Jingchan is much smoother than others.In such a case, if she asked her to criticize and say something, I am afraid that the emperor's brother would not be willing.At this moment, Yueyi had no choice but to pretend to be happy and said with a smile, "So that's the case. I thought my sister-in-law didn't like me! Then I can feel relieved."

Watching the conversation between the two, Chu Mingyou couldn't help but feel a little headache.Gu Jingchan's mind is active, and she can unconsciously wrap herself in it, the little girl Yueyi... oh, there is no hope.Seeing her in a bright red dress again, I felt unhappy again.

Chu Mingyou knew exactly what this cousin was thinking.One of his jokes at the beginning has made her repeat it to this day.Although Princess Yunya and the royal lineage are no longer close, but after all, Princess Yunya's surname is Chu, and the daughter cannot be returned to the clan.Although my cousin can marry his cousin, he cannot marry his aunt's younger sister.The blame is also to blame myself for being sloppy at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have caused such trouble.Fortunately, he was only the prince at that time, and the prince's words were not golden words, otherwise he would have to marry Yueyi.

But thinking of this, Chu Mingyou sighed, and said to Yueyi: "Yueyi, I know what you are thinking. But it is impossible for me to marry you as my concubine. You are my sister and Aunt Yunya's child. We are blood relatives, and the relationship is very close. Moreover, I am 29 this year, and you are only seventeen. At my age, it is feasible to be your father in the folk. Yue Yi, listen to me, don't think about these things again. You have to know that princesses and concubines are looking at you today. You are wearing a red and gold peacock robe. You are not only disrespectful to the imperial concubine, but also disrespectful to the princess and concubine. It means that I dote on you, otherwise it will be disrespectful If you put a hat on your head, it’s enough for you to take off a layer of skin. So, can you be obedient and don’t make Brother Huang angry?”

Chu Mingyou said this very bluntly, meaning that it was just a joke at the beginning.I have always regarded you as a younger sister, and if I were a few years older than you, I could be your father.Those words are enough to make Yue Yi sad.Moreover, he began to coerce and lure again, coaxing and intimidating, it is really unkind to deal with a teenage girl like this.

Yue Yi is not stupid, and when she heard Chu Mingyou say that, she immediately felt sad.It turns out that brother Mingyou doesn't like her at all...

Seeing the little girl's eyes flushed, her head lowered and her body trembling, Gu Jingchan knew that Chu Mingyou had hurt a fragile girl's heart.Also, Chu Mingyou is very handsome, and he is also an emperor.That little girl could stand the emperor's tender words?When this girl fell in love with Chu Mingyou, he was still a young man, and it was the time when he was romantic and suave, and he might have won the hearts of many girls. Now that he is middle-aged, it's time to let go?Can the little girl not be sad!

Yue Yi cried for a while, then slowly raised her head and said, "Then I'll go change clothes, the empress dowager's aunt, the emperor's brother, and the imperial concubine's sister-in-law."

Gu Jingchan felt that there was something faintly wrong, Yueyi was too abnormal this year, and she calmed down so quickly?How does it look like someone who just lost love!This feeling made Gu Jingchan feel uneasy, the way she looked at Chu Mingyou just now was too abnormal.

Chu Mingyou waved for Yueyi to go down, and flirted with a few court ladies, telling them to follow her, at least knowing what she wanted to do.

It's okay not to send someone there, but the news brought to him by the maids really made Chu Mingyou furious.
