The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 248 Not good at this

Ruan San nodded repeatedly and said: "I understand, I will ask someone to chase Wang Xin back."

Gu Huayu went back to Wutong Lane to change her clothes. As soon as she entered the door, Liandong came over to greet her. He bent his knees and said aggrievedly: "Princess, you are finally back. If you don't come back, Shi Niang will whip this slave with a paddle."

 Gu Huayu smiled and helped Lonicera up, comforting her and saying, "Okay, okay, I'll tell Shi Niang later that it's my problem and has nothing to do with you."

"It has nothing to do with her? She didn't take good care of her master. Where has he gone? She doesn't know anything about it. Shouldn't she be punished?" Shi Niang's voice sounded in the corridor.

Gu Huayu stuck out her tongue towards Lonicera and said softly: "This housekeeper is looking more and more like a tigress."

“What did the princess say?” Shi Niang asked.

 Gu Huayu squeezed Ling Dong's hand, turned around and greeted her with a smile, "It's nothing, your voice is getting more and more pleasant. By the way, your clothes are nice today, and the color matches your skin color very well."

As Gu Huayu spoke, she looked Shi Niang up and down.

Shi Niang didn't say anything, she clasped her hands in front of her and listened to Gu Huayu's praise.

After Gu Huayu finished her rainbow-fart praise, when Shi Niang didn't respond, her heart tightened. Reflecting on what she had just said, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with her.

Gu Huayu was shocked by Shi Niang's look, and asked weakly, "What's wrong with Shi Niang?"

Shi Niang asked with a half-smile, "Have you finished your praise, Princess?"

Gu Huayu nodded, feeling more and more ominous, and responded: "Well, the praise is over. What's wrong? Did I praise it wrong?"

Shi Niang said: "I wore the same clothes a few days ago. The princess made it clear yesterday that the color of these clothes is not suitable for me.

 It is said that the skin tone below is spring type and is more suitable for bright colors.

The color of this dress on my lower body is too dark, too upright, and too heavy. It will make you look old-fashioned. "

Gu Huayu raised her hand to her forehead to block Shi Niang's sight, turned her head and asked Lonicera in a low voice: "Did I say this?"

 Landong glanced at Shi Niang secretly, lowered his head and said, "Yes, the princess said so."

Gu Huayu stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, stepped forward and took Shi Niang's hand and said coquettishly: "I'm sorry, I'm talking nonsense today. Don't be angry, stinky foot immortal, okay?"

Gu Huayu shook Shi Niang’s hand as she spoke.

Shi Niang bluffed her face and glanced at Hua Yu, "You are the princess, and I am just a stinky fairy. How can I dare to be angry with you?"

Gu Huayu tilted her head and looked at Shi Niang. She smiled apologetically and whispered, "Smelly Feet Immortal, it's meaningless for you to say such things. Our relationship doesn't involve such harsh words. I didn't come home last night." , I have something going on and I really can’t leave.”

Shi Niang met Gu Huayu's gaze and said, "You are a girl from a big girl's family. What important matter keeps you away all night? Don't you know how important the reputation of a girl's family is?"

Shi Niang still had a straight face, but her tone softened a lot.

Now in the house, Gu Huayu is not afraid of anyone, except Shi Niang.

Gu Huayu whispered: "The sixth master of the British Government was assassinated on the street yesterday. He was hit by two arrows and his life was on the line. I stayed at the British Government all night yesterday."

After hearing this, Shi Niang's face became solemn and asked: "Is it important? Have you been rescued? Who is so bold as to assassinate a noble son in broad daylight?"

Gu Huayu shook her head, "Yesterday, people from the Bingma Division and Jingzhao Mansion went there, and the streets were closed. As for the extent of the investigation, it's not clear yet.

However, it is not an easy matter to dare to assassinate Liu Ye openly in the bustling city of the capital at the feet of the emperor. "

Shi Niang nodded and asked, "How is Mr. Liu? Have you been rescued?"

Gu Huayu blinked at Shi Niang, "If I take action, is there anyone I can't save?"

Shi Niang rolled her eyes at Gu Huayu and said, "Yes, the princess is a master of the apricot forest. She has the ability to bring the dead back to life and rejuvenate. With the princess's hands, the disease will be cured naturally."

Gu Huayu was not modest at all and said proudly: "That's right!"

Shi Niang said: "Come on, I know you are powerful. Go and change your clothes quickly. If you are later, it will be too late for the princess to enter the palace for the banquet. It would be disrespectful to enter the palace late for the banquet."

Gu Huayu patted her head and said, "Look at my brain, I have completely forgotten this matter."

They returned to the house. While changing Gu Huayu's clothes, Shi Niang explained many matters in the palace. She also asked Liao Dong, "Have you written down everything I told you yesterday?"

Ling Dong bent his knees and responded, "Go back to Shi Niang, all the servants have written it down."

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "Aren't we just going to a banquet? Shi Niang, you are giving me such serious instructions, which makes Lonicera and I very nervous."

Shi Niang said solemnly: "It's okay to be nervous, but you two don't take it seriously.

The rules in the palace are very strict, and if you are not careful, you will lose your mind.

Especially the princess, who is pampered, spoiled and undisciplined by her family at home, needs to be even more cautious when going to the palace. "

 Gu Huayu curled her lips and said, "After you said that, I am not in the mood to go to the banquet at all, and I am almost afraid of going to the execution ground."

Shi Niang said: "Going to the execution ground is a bit exaggerated. You two should cheer up for me.

 There is a nervous feeling like walking on thin ice or facing an abyss, you know? "

Gu Huayu was okay, but Liandong was so frightened by Shi Niang's words that he dared not speak out.

 Gu Huayu glanced at Lonicera and said to Shi Niang: "Look, you scared her so much that she can't even walk. How can you go to the banquet? How about you come with me?"

Shi Niang glanced at Hua Yu and said, "Which young lady brought the old lady to the flower viewing banquet? If you don't bring a little maid with you, the imperial concubine can give you two maids to serve you on the spot. Are you afraid of having other people in this house?" I'll go with you."

 Gu Huayu shook her head hurriedly and said: "Forget it then. I don't want to burp or fart today and everyone in the capital will know about it tomorrow."

Shi Niang glared at Gu Huayu, "Can't you speak more politely? You are the princess now."

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "What's there to pay attention to? Everyone in the capital doesn't know that Princess Yanran grew up in the mountains and countryside. Besides, my words are rough and rude, don't you think it's very vivid?"

Shi Niang combed Gu Huayu's hair, looked in the mirror, then lowered her head to straighten Zhuhua, and then said with satisfaction: "You are right, I can't argue with you. That's all, go quickly, don't delay on the way. "

Gu Huayu got into the car with Lonicera and before leaving, Shi Niang gave a few words of advice.

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "If you delay any longer, we will be really late."

Shi Niang said to Qing Yu: "Hurry up the road, don't delay."

Qingyu responded with a smile: "It's a small expense."

When Gu Huayu arrived at the palace gate, she happened to meet the Lin sisters from Ningyuan Hou's house and Cui Xinyi from Cui Shangshu's house.

 After the three parties greeted each other, the group went to Huaqing Palace together.

Lin Wangyue looked back at Gu Huayu from time to time. Gu Huayu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Sister Yue, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Lin Wangyue had a good relationship with Ye Mingjin, and learned from Ye Mingjin that Gu Huayu was good at skin care.

 She has had several pimples on her face recently and is very distressed.

Lin Wangyue knew that it was rude to stare at people, so she lowered her head in embarrassment and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, it was me who was rude."

Lin Wanghuan knew what his sister was thinking. He turned his head to look at Gu Huayu and said half-jokingly: "The princess is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away. That's why my sister keeps looking at the princess."

Gu Huayu didn't mind, and replied with a smile: "Sister Yue looks like Xiaojiabiyu, and she is also very good-looking."

Cui Yixin squinted at the three people who were complimenting each other and walked forward quickly.

The accompanying maid and woman hurriedly followed him.

The Lin sisters are gentle and unassuming, but extremely sensitive.

At this time, seeing Cui Xinyi walking away quickly, the two sisters looked at each other, and then awkwardly said to Gu Huayu: "Princess, let's go in too."

Gu Huayu smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go."

The three of them walked to the entrance of Huaqing Palace and saw someone greeting them at the door.

Lin Wangyue whispered to Gu Hua: "Princess, the person standing at the door is Liu Shanggong, the female officer beside the imperial concubine."

Gu Huayu thanked her in a low voice: "Thank you, Sister Yue, for reminding me."

While talking, several people came to the door of Huaqing Palace. After a greeting, Liu Shanggong personally welcomed them in.

The maids and chamberlains along the way saw him and bowed to him one after another.

Gu Huayu followed Liu Shanggong without squinting and was taken to the palace together with the Lin family sisters.

The main hall is tall and spacious. There are several ice basins placed in the room. People standing in the hall immediately feel the slightest chill and feel very comfortable.

Liu Shanggong bowed to the imperial concubine sitting at the top and said, "My dear, Princess Yanran and the two young ladies from Ningyuan Houfu have arrived."

Gu Huayu and the Lin family sisters paid homage to the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine was whispering something to Concubine De. After hearing Liu Shanggong's report, she sat up straight and looked up.

He said with a smile: "I have long wanted to invite Yanran to the palace to talk, but I have been busy these days, so I only invited Yanran to come to the palace today.

Yanran has just returned to the capital. How is it? Are you still getting used to it? "

Gu Huayu thanked her and said, "Thanks to the noble concubine, Yanran is living well."

The imperial concubine nodded and said, "Just get used to it. The emperor often mentions you these days and is worried that you are not used to life in the capital."

Gu Huayu hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. How can Yanran be so virtuous? It is Yanran's fault that the Emperor has troubled her so much. Yanran is terrified."

The imperial concubine comforted her and said, "Your Majesty is kind and generous. You understand this clearly in your heart.

The flowers in my courtyard are in full bloom. People say that happiness alone is not as good as happiness among others, so I invite everyone to come and enjoy the flowers together.

 When you come to my place, it’s just like at home. You don’t need to be restrained. Come play with Sister Yue and the others. "

The imperial concubine said a few polite words and dismissed Gu Huayu.

 After Gu Huayu thanked the Lin family sisters together, she followed Liu Shanggong to the garden.

After leaving the palace, Lin Wangyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Huayu looked sideways and saw Lin Wangyue's previously tense body relaxing.

Lin Wangyue saw Gu Huayu looking at her and smiled at her.

Just as Gu Huayu was about to talk to her, Liu Shanggong said to the maid next to him: "It's a good time to entertain the princess and the two ladies. Princess, ladies, please sit over here. I'm busy down there."

Gu Huayu and the Lin family sisters bowed to express their thanks.

 After Liu Shanggong left, Gu Huayu and the Lin sisters sat down at a table in the corridor.

 The palace maid came forward to serve tea, and Gu Huayu took the opportunity to look around.

There are flowers and plants of different shapes in the garden. It seems that many of the shapes are improvised, but they are done with great care. The whole garden is full of flowers, elegant and luxurious, but without losing the mood.

"Princess, please have tea." Lin Wangyue's words brought Gu Huayu's attention back.

Gu Huayu thanked you and said: "Thank you!"

Gu Huayu looked away, picked up the teacup and took a sip. From the corner of her eye, she saw Cui Xinyi and Wang Peiyun sitting not far away.

 At this time, Wang Peiyun was staring at him.

Gu Huayu put down her cup and looked sideways.

Wang Peiyun saw Gu Huayu looking over and quickly turned his head and looked away.

Gu Huayu withdrew her gaze and continued drinking tea and admiring the flowers.

“The palace has not held a flower party for many years, so why is it suddenly held this year?”

 The whispers from the side reached Gu Huayu's ears.

"Is this hard to imagine? Several princes have not yet gotten married, and they have all reached the age of discussing marriage. Those invited to the banquet today are all the family members of officials of third rank or above, and they are all unmarried."

“Oh, that’s it! Let me tell you. I wonder which lady the ladies will choose?”

When Gu Huayu heard this, she suddenly realized, isn't this just a talent show in the name of the Flower Club? If she had known this was the case, she would not have come to the banquet.

Gu Huayu was thinking about what excuse to use to say goodbye.

But Wang Peiyun stood up and said loudly: "The imperial concubine's garden is arranged like a fairyland. It is such a beautiful place. Isn't it a pity if we just take a look?"

Wang Peiyun spoke, and Cui Xinyi immediately agreed, "Peiyun is right, why don't we have a talent competition? How about inviting a few empresses to comment?"

Most of the ladies from aristocratic families in Beijing have been trained since childhood, and they are proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

After hearing Cui Xinyi’s suggestion, there were many people who were eager to try it.

Someone responded: "It's a good idea. Let's use the flowers in the garden as the theme. Each of us will write a poem and draw a picture. This will make it more lively. What do you think?"

Wang Peiyun became more interested when he saw so many people agreeing with him, and said: "We have to ask the imperial concubine for instructions first, and can I trouble my father-in-law to make a trip for us. Okay?"

The chamberlain bowed down and turned around to go into the palace.

After a while, the chamberlain came out, leaned forward and said, "I think the girls' suggestions are very good. I also said that since it is a competition, there should be a time limit, so that it seems fair."

Within the two sticks of incense, each lady will write a poem and a painting with flower inscriptions. Judged by three empresses.

The empress took out two boxes of Dongzhu as lottery prizes and awarded them to the person who ranked first. "

 With the support of the imperial concubine, everyone's momentum became even higher.

At first, Gu Huayu was worried that she would be favored by others, but after hearing Wang Peiyun's suggestion, she immediately had an idea.

The palace maids and chamberlains presented pens, inks, paper and inkstones, one of the chamberlains lit incense, and with a word of "begin", the garden fell silent.

 Gu Huayu sat up straight and looked at everyone. Some were thinking for a while and immersed themselves in writing, some were frowning and not writing for a long time, and some were staring at the flowers in the garden for inspiration...

Lin Wangyue was a quick thinker, and after only half a stick of incense, he composed a poem and then started painting.

Lin Wangyue looked up and saw Gu Huayu holding her chin in her hand and looking at everyone boredly, and asked in a low voice: "Princess, why don't you do it?"

Gu Huayu smiled at Lin Wangyue and said, "I'm not good at this."

Gu Huayu spoke very frankly, not feeling ashamed at all because she was not good at it.
