Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 85 Meeting the Empress Dowager (4)
"I heard that it was the Gu family who reported the name of the third lady to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to run for election. If you want to regret this relative, the prince Jingning can only blame the Gu family if you want to blame him. How can you blame the prince Shouchang?"

"You don't know that, son of Uncle Shouchang, don't look at him as a wandering and invisible person, but he fell in love with Miss Gu at first sight. If you don't want to marry me, Mrs. Uncle Shouchang originally appointed Miss Gu for him when he was alive. Yes, it's just that there have been some accidents, and Miss Gu San has formed a century-old relationship with Prince Jingning."

"Oh, it's really a disaster for a beauty. I don't know how beautiful Miss Gu San is. I really want to see her beauty."

The discussion became more and more outrageous, Taishi Hua felt his scalp tingling, stepped forward and pulled Murong Lingyun and Shangguan Yeli off the carriage, grabbed them and dragged them to the palace: "Go, go to the empress dowager and make it clear go."

Wanqing nestled in the house playing with the puppy. Shangguan Yeli specially found it for her in case she would be bored. She named the puppy Maoqiu. Maoqiu is very cute and snow-white. Little Jingba, a fluffy ball, is spreading its belly for Wanqing to rub it.

Wanqing kneaded it for a while, then put it aside, picked up a book to read, Maoqiu waited for a long time with her belly spread out, saw that Wanqing ignored it, stretched out her paw and gently scratched Wanqing's wrist, Wuliuliu His big eyes are full of flattery, and his fat short-haired tail is waving in circles like sweeping the floor. Wanqing is too lazy to care about it, so she sits with her book and stays away from it. Yes, rubbing against Wanqing's side again, picking up Wanqing's book with her paws, Wanqing got annoyed, pulled a handful of fur on her body and brushed her nose, the fur ball shrank her nose, and hit a dog without hesitation sneeze.

Wanqing laughed out loud, Douya'er came over and kicked the fur ball, "Miss, the empress dowager summoned me."

Wanqing was so frightened that she nearly fell off the chair, and asked tremblingly, "Who, who do you think wants to summon me?"

"Empress Dowager, Miss, hurry up and dress up and go to the front yard, the people in the palace don't have such a good temper to wait for you for long." Dou Sprout said while pushing Wanqing into the room, and started to unbutton her clothes.

"Don't tell me, let's just look like this. First, I'm not an imperial order, and second, I don't have a title, so what else can I do?" Wanqing's heart turned, and she couldn't figure out that the empress dowager would summon her, an unknown person. The daughter of a fifth-rank official.

When I arrived at the front yard, I saw a white-faced and beardless man standing arrogantly in front of the old man. Mrs. Lin lowered her eyebrows respectfully, not daring to vent her breath. It hasn't arrived yet, so we don't have the time to wait for long."

Wanqing hurriedly went forward to salute him: "Little girl Wanqing pays tribute to the manager."

The wife was stunned by the monitor, and then smiled: "Yo, you are really a little beauty, no wonder the two princes fought for you, um, the little mouth is very sweet, but our family is not the same now. Where is the manager?"

"Not now, but it will definitely be in the future. My lord looks like a man of great fortune and wealth." Good words don't cost money to buy. Wanqing watched a lot of palace fights in her previous life. After these eunuchs are disabled, their tempers will become weird. , I am most afraid that people will look down on me, and if I offend you, I will pay you back. People say that the king of hell is easy to find, and the little devil is hard to deal with. If you flatter these people more, you can save a lot of trouble.

The eunuch really laughed out loud when he heard it, Mr. Gu also saw the opportunity, and hurriedly stuffed a purse into the eunuch's hand, the man weighed the weight, and his smile became even more amiable.

Wanqing took the opportunity to ask about the matter on the road. The eunuch didn't know much, but just told Wanqing that now King Shou, Grand Master Hua, Marquis Shouchangbo of Jingning, the two heirs, there is such a big lineup, all of them are here. Waiting for her in the queen mother's palace, this little daughter of a fifth-rank official.

Wanqing's brow was covered with sweat, why did the incident become such a big deal?
Whether sitting or standing in the Compassionate Ning Palace, it was already full, Wanqing lowered her brows and moved in with small steps of three inches, her eyes only dared to look at the plum blossom on her embroidered shoes, but her ears were stretched as wide as possible, Try to contain all the voices in the room without falling, so that you can analyze the situation on the field.

After Wanqing knelt down, she heard a kind voice: "Are you Miss Gu San?"

Wanqing hastily shouted three thousand years to the Empress Dowager: "In the words of the Empress Dowager, the minister is Gu Wanqing."

"Raise your head and let Aijia take a look."

Wanqing had no choice but to raise her small face, there was a trace of timidity in her quiet eyes, but her expression was still calm and composed, and there was nothing wrong with it.

The queen mother looks about 50 years old, fair and dignified, with a gentle and kind face. Wanqing knows that there is no easy woman in the deep palace who can become the ultimate boss. When she glanced at it, she immediately lowered her eyelids timidly , dare not look directly.

"Well, she really is a delicate and beautiful woman." The Queen Mother boasted casually.

The Grand Master Hua sat on the side, and said disdainfully: "It's not enough."

The queen mother smiled, and said to Murong Lingyun: "Lingyun, you fought with your cousin just because of this woman, and you got hurt?"

Murong Lingyun restrained his arrogance in front of the queen mother, and said with a straight face: "Go back to the queen mother, she is the favorite of the minister's mother, and the most regretful thing for the mother is that she did not see the minister's birth. I am ashamed of my mother, I must fulfill my mother's last wish for her."

Wanqing rolled her eyes in her heart when she heard that, Murong Lingyun, you bastard, no one knows what kind of person you are, why should you be filial, you are still messing around outside when you are twenty, you can talk about filial piety after your mother dies , Who is it for?

It is estimated that everyone in the room has the same thoughts, but in the end, he spoke in a high-sounding way, and once the filial son's hat is lifted, no one can say that he is wrong.

The queen mother asked Shangguan Yeli again: "Li'er, it's rare for your cousin to settle down to start a family and start a business, why don't you just let him order?"

Shangguan Yeli said with a stinky face: "Going back to my aunt and grandmother, my grandson didn't rob him. He never had an engagement with Miss Gu, but my grandson and her have already made a marriage contract. My grandson is not in good health and is not I don't know if I can survive this winter... Grandaunt and grandson just want to get married as soon as possible and leave some flesh and blood behind."

It was rare for him to say such a long speech, and the voice was low and deep, which for no reason dyed the whole palace in a layer of sadness. As expected, the Empress Dowager's eyes darkened when she heard it, and she sighed: "Poor child, it's hard to get this For the sake of it, you can still be so comfortable, that's all..."
