Complete Harem Raiders

Chapter 20

After drinking a cup of tea, Gu Jingchan looked at Yu Rong and looked at the calligraphy and paintings piled up on the table. After a while, she came back to her senses and smiled: "Yu Rong, what do you mean by Shuyuan?"

Yu Rong slightly raised his eyes and said with a calm smile: "The master already has the answer in his heart, this is not for the servant to guess, but the servant believes that Ming Shuyuan must have the same thoughts as the master, and it should be nothing. .”

Gu Jingchan smiled, nodded lightly and said, "Even so, we can't lose our courtesy. Since Ming Shuyuan sent a congratulatory gift, we have to return it, right? Yu Rong, I believe you know what to bring, Let's go to the Qingwei Hall of Yunxi Palace to visit Ming Shuyuan."

Yu Rong looked at Gu Jingchan's smile and nodded, then turned around and went to prepare the congratulatory gift.Congratulatory gifts between concubines must be extremely cautious.Gu Jingchan is smart, whether it is giving gifts or rewarding low-level concubines, she never gives things that are easy to be caught by others, just playthings, calligraphy and paintings.

All the way to the Qingwei Hall, he reported his name to the internal supervisor, and then stood outside the door and waited.Not long after, a maid of about 20 years old came out from the inner hall, she was the aunt in charge of Qingwei Hall——Yunluo.

Seeing Gu Jingchan, the woman saluted first, "Yun Luo, the steward of Qingwei Hall, pays homage to Tian Shuyuan." Seeing Gu Jingchan nodding her head, she smiled lightly and said, "Tian Shuyuan, my mother, please hurry up." Come in!"

Gu Jingchan smiled lightly and nodded her head as a signal, and then followed her into the inner hall under Yun Luo's guidance.When she arrived in the hall, she saw a beautiful woman in palace attire pruning camellias with scissors in one hand, her bright eyes were serious as if she didn't see Gu Jingchan.

Seeing this, Gu Jingchan didn't mind walking up and saluted, "Ming Shuyuan is well."

Ming Shuyuan raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Jingchan with a smile in her eyes and said that there is no need to be polite, and continued with the work in hand.Gu Jingchan didn't care, she just watched quietly after she trimmed the camellias and put them in the flower basket before raising her eyes and asking, "Sister Tian, ​​what do you think?"

Gu Jingchan smiled and looked at Ming Shuyuan's illustration potted plant just completed, and said, "I know the beauty of flower arrangement, but it's just so beautiful to look at."

"If you like to wait for another day to give you one, today's one is allowed." Ming Shuyuan motioned for a servant to bring a hand basin and wash her hands before continuing: "Sister Tian, ​​why are you still standing? Sit down, Dan Ruo sees." Tea."

Gu Jingchan sat across from her according to her words and stared at Ming Shuyuan for a while before she smiled and said: "Ming Shuyuan, you are welcome, I came to visit you on my own, it was a bit abrupt, why do I need you to entertain me in a hurry?"

Ming Shuyuan curled her lips, glanced at her and said with a light smile, "Sister Tian, ​​how did you say that? You came to visit me with such kindness. I should be very excited. I wish for someone to accompany me." I'm just joking around, is there something abrupt here?"

"Ming Shuyuan doesn't blame me, it's my good fortune. I saw your congratulatory gift the day before yesterday, and I was very happy. As the saying goes, gifts are reciprocated, and I hope you don't dislike my gift. Yu Rong..." Gu Jingchan chuckled Got up and glanced at Yu Rong, Yu Rong immediately presented the booklet with both hands knowingly.

Yun Luo took it with a smile, just glanced at the words on the booklet, was slightly taken aback, then handed it to Ming Shuyuan with a smile, "Master, it turned out to be "Plum Blossom Falling"!"

Ming Shuyuan was born in a famous family, and she learned a good flute from Zhou Bujian. "Plum Blossom Falling" is an ancient flute song that is hard to come by.Although she studied under a famous teacher and has a lot of famous songs in hand, this "Plum Blossom Falling" is exactly what she has wanted for a long time.

Seeing the flute score presented in front of her, Ming Shuyuan was very happy and told Yun Luo to put it away carefully, then she smiled at Gu Jingchan and said, "Why do you want my sister to give up her love? My calligraphy and paintings look pale in comparison. , just ashamed and ashamed."

"Ming Shuyuan, don't say that. The calligraphy and paintings you sent that day are hard to come by. Ming Shuyuan spent a lot of money, so naturally I can't lose my colors this time. I'm not good at rhythm, and the flute score is in the My hands are also useless, so I will borrow flowers and offer them to you. Only then can I live up to the ancient song "Plum Blossom Falling"" Gu Jingchan just smiled.There is nothing wrong with doing what you like.

Still, what he said was what he liked, this "Plum Blossom Falling" just blocked Ming Shuyuan's mouth, not only did she do everything in terms of etiquette, but she was returning the gift, and she would not be able to say anything about herself in the future .

Ming Shuyuan raised the corners of her lips, she was very transparent and shrewd, and understood what Gu Jingchan meant.Seeing through her thoughts, I became much more open-minded, with a slight smile on the corner of my mouth, I said: "The daughter brought up by Mr. An is very smart, but it makes us feel ashamed because of stupid people like me! "

"Ming Shuyuan, don't say that, you are smart and transparent, if you are all stupid, wouldn't it make me feel ashamed?" Gu Jingchan spoke with a bit of ease when she talked and laughed.

At present, only she, Ming Shuyuan, and Jing Shurong in the palace are the queens of the Duke.Jing Shurong is not rich in holy favors, but she is favored by the Queen Mother. Due to her temperament, she is definitely not easy to get along with.She understood Shuyuan's various meanings, and Gu Jingchan already knew.It's nothing more than to win over, but she can't accept this kind of meaning.

Ming Shuyuan smiled lightly and hooked her lips and said: "I grew up my sister for a few months, and I grew up with you, sister, and became your older sister. Now, you and I are both Shuyuan, you Ming Shuyuan, Ming Shuyuan Shuyuan's calling me sounds weird. If you are willing to call me Sister Luanxi, I will be extremely happy."

Gu Jingchan declined with downcast eyes and a slight smile, "How can this be so easy?"

"If you think it's rude to call me Sister Luanxi, just call me Sister Ming." Seeing that Gu Jingchan didn't want to, Ming Shuyuan knew it. Although she didn't care, there was still a bit of unnaturalness on her face. .

Seeing that Ming Shuyuan didn't say anything, Gu Jingchan was relieved and smiled lightly: "Since elder sister Ming said so, it's my fault that my younger sister is making excuses."

"That's right." Ming Shuyuan smiled softly, but her eyes were somewhat clear.She wasn't stupid, but she could guess Gu Jingchan's worries, so she didn't think about it. What she just wanted to say in her heart had already swallowed into her stomach, and she didn't plan to bring it up again.Although the alliance failed, she didn't want to have multiple enemies, so she patted Gu Jingchan's hand and said, "There is a talented man in our palace, if you don't blame my sister for being rude, I will call you sister Chan, how nice it is!" ?”

"It's okay if my sister likes it." Gu Jingchan smiled gently, but there was a bit of respect and a bit of alienation in her eyes.

Ming Shuyuan didn't care either, the two chatted till noon, Gu Jingchan said her goodbyes and left Qingwei Hall.Yu Rong was very puzzled by the scene just now, but he didn't say anything, just pursed his lips and slowly organized his thoughts.

Gu Jingchan glanced at Yu Rong, but curled her lips, and didn't say anything.After returning to Tingxuan Hall, Yu Rong didn't say a word, and didn't ask what happened just now, Gu Jingchan was very satisfied.Such servants can indeed be used.

After calling Yu Rong, Gu Jingchan looked into her eyes calmly and said, "Do you understand what Ming Shuyuan means?"

"It's hard for a servant to say, but the servant feels that the master's doing this will make Ming Shuyuan hate?" Yu Rong looked calm, recalling the two of them fighting just now, and also frowned.

Gu Jingchan curled her lips into a smile, and slumped on the couch lazily. The equipment in the palace was much higher than that of Yingxueju, and the cushions on the couch alone were much thicker, and lying on it did not hurt her waist at all.

"How could she, Ming Shuyuan, be so boring? After all, she is Zheng Guogong's first daughter, and she was named princess early, so how could she be so shallow?" Gu Jingchan opened her eyes and said with a smile.

Zheng Guogong is the queen, but he has the clearest mind, and he is also very good at educating his daughter.When the new emperor came to the throne, many generals were replaced by those who fell off the horse. Only Zheng Guogong, Zhan Zehao, still retained the title of general and inherited the title of Duke.Gu Jingchan heard An Guogong said that this person is smart because he is smart. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he first handed over the tiger amulet, expressed his attitude to the emperor, and asked for a transfer to prepare to return home after work.Naturally, the new emperor would not agree. Although the military power was taken away, the title and official title remained unchanged.

Gu Jingchan thought about it and couldn't help but smile.At first, Gu Jingchan laughed for a while when An Guogong mentioned this surname.Although I had memorized hundreds of surnames when I was a child, this surname is rare after all. Now that I hear An Guogong talking about it, I can't help but pay more attention to it. I also heard that Zheng Guogong is such a name. Gu Jingchan really can't help it.

Yu Rong didn't know what Gu Jingchan was laughing at, so she didn't ask any more questions, calculated the time, and said with a smile: "Master, Concubine Yan has intended to come to visit you a long time ago, she was too busy a few days ago, and this servant will help you block Well, do you want to meet today?"

Gu Jingchan raised her eyebrows for a moment, she was really in a hurry these few days, she had to thank the gift, she had to move from Yingxueju to the side hall, and she had to accept the rewards and gifts from everywhere, she was so busy that she neglected to talk to her. She lived in the same palace as Yan Suya.Immediately smiled and said: "It's natural. You go to Jingyaju and tell her that I invited her to come and sit for a while."

Watching Yu Rong go out, Gu Jingchan sighed faintly.Although Yu Rong was kind enough to help her block Yan Suya that day, it's hard to guarantee that Yan Suya won't mind because of it, thinking that she is now at the cusp of the storm, she must not lose her heart with Yan Suya.

But Wang Monan, who is now living in the Runzi Palace, feels a little unhappy in his heart.Although she didn't know what the empress dowager meant, she, who was promoted together with Gu Jingchan, still felt extremely uncomfortable.Thinking of Tian Xintian who was still afraid to go out, she was so angry that she dropped a glazed lamp.

Why, she, Gu Jingchan, climbed from Liangyuan to Shuyuan within half a year after entering the palace, and she herself really struggled for three years to achieve the position of Shurong.

Wang Monan was upset, she gritted her teeth but did not dare to make a move, now that Tian Xintian has been grounded, it is not easy for her to cultivate a confidant for a while, it is too obvious to act by herself.She pursed her lips and thought for a while before laughing, looking in the direction of Yuqing Palace with a gloomy look in her eyes.
