173, Gathering in Manfuyuan again
Manfuyuan.
Another brightly lit, overcrowded Manfuyuan.
It's just that, in the past, this group of people were all waiting to see Gu Qianxue's jokes, but this time, they were all eagerly waiting to curry favor with Gu Qianxue.
Ever since Gu Qianxue healed Concubine Qin and was named Princess Qianxue by the emperor, the aunts in the backyard of Gu's mansion flocked to Gu Qianxue like crazy, trying to hug her thigh.
From time to time, a certain aunt would come to deliver the soup, and she would call it "Missy is tired, and she will make up for her body."
From time to time, another aunt would bring clothes she had made herself, saying that it was getting colder, and she would add some clothes for the eldest lady.
It's a pity that Gu Qianxue is a busy person, often going out and rarely staying in the mansion, these aunts and ladies want to curry favor but can't see anyone.
Gu Qianxue had just entered the Manfuyuan, and the servants who were guarding hurried forward to pay their respects. Immediately afterwards, the personal maid who was serving Zheng's side came forward with a smile, and welcomed Gu Qianxue in graciously.
"Qianxue pays respects to grandma," Gu Qianxue said with a calm expression, still maintaining an neither humble nor overbearing attitude, bowing gracefully and blessing herself. "Qianxue came back late today, and kept her grandmother and other aunts waiting for a long time, but she didn't know what was going on."
Although these aunts are nothing but fools, the original deity was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and with the backing of Marshal Zhao behind him, the aunts did not bully the deity. Although Gu Qianxue is gaining power now, there is no need to make things difficult for the aunts, and she is still polite to them.
As soon as Gu Qianxue finished speaking, Aunt Zhou in the corner hurriedly said, "Soon, Missy will do important things, and we usually have nothing to do in the backyard, so we will wait a little longer."
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Aunt Zhou is a person who can't see the heat. Manfuyuan is the territory of the old lady Zheng. Even if Zheng doesn't speak, there are so many aunts with children, and she, who has just entered the mansion for a few days, can't speak.
And Aunt Zhou was so anxious, she was really anxious.
Aunt Zhou also has Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu, who were brought into the mansion because of Gu Shangshu's son. Aunt Liu is beautiful and charming, and has a variety of tricks on the bed, which is deeply loved by Gu Shangshu. In addition, she secretly defected to Gu Qianxue. Qianxue's advice made even Gu Shangshu, who was not a womanizer at all, fascinated.
Aunt Wang is the daughter of a sour scholar. She is interested in poetry and painting. She doesn't care about men and women at all. She is a bit noble and respected by Gu Shangshu.
Only this Aunt Zhou, who was born in the market, is supposed to be out of Gu Shangshu's eyes. But there are five sisters in her family, and the above four sisters all gave birth to sons after they got married, so the Zhou family sisters became famous. Hearing the old lady around her, Mrs. Zheng hurriedly brought the last daughter of the Zhou family into the mansion. Shang Shu gave birth to a son.
It's a pity that Aunt Zhou's appearance can only be regarded as handsome, and Dou Da's literacy is illiterate, and there is no news from her belly for a while after entering the mansion, so she was abandoned by Gu Shangshu after a long time.
Now, Aunt Zhou is in a hurry, because after all the calculations, she is considered to be the bottom of the aunts in the entire backyard of the Gu Mansion.
Because of what Aunt Zhou said on her behalf, all the aunts looked at Aunt Zhou with ridicule and ridicule, and even Mrs. Zheng cast a cold look at Aunt Zhou, seeing that Aunt Zhou's face turned red and white, knowing that I said the wrong thing, bowed my head and dared not speak up.
Everyone thought, what kind of person is the eldest lady? She is the favorite of the imperial concubine Qin. Princess Qianxue, who was proclaimed by the emperor, was adopted as a righteous daughter by the eldest princess today. Her value is almost as high as that of the royal family. This little aunt says hello
"Don't say that, Aunt Zhou. I'm just busy on weekdays. It's no big deal." Gu Qianxue helped her out with a smile.
Aunt Zhou's face gradually returned to normal, she glanced at Gu Qianxue gratefully, feeling ashamed.
Aunt Zhou is actually not very old, she is only seventeen years old this year, three years older than Gu Qianxue's age in this life, but ten years younger than Gu Qianxue's age in modern times. Although it was in the precocious ancient times, not everyone can be calculating and have a city, such as Aunt Zhou.
Gu Qianxue gave her a comforting smile back.
Mrs. Zheng glared at Aunt Zhou, and then when she looked at Gu Qianxue, her expression changed and she was full of kindness. "Today, the Princess Mansion sent some gifts, but I heard that Princess Yong'an wants to accept you as a righteous daughter?"
All the aunts looked at Gu Qianxue with fiery eyes, admiring his luck. I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, what kind of shit luck did the young lady have, and why such great good luck happened to her so frequently, it was really enviable.
Gu Qianxue said, "Back to grandma, His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess does have this intention, but... the specifics, Qianxue doesn't know, it's just that the Eldest Princess gave a lot of rewards when she accompanied Concubine Qin to the Princess Mansion today."
Gu Qianxue didn't want to publicize this matter, if possible, she even wanted to drag it out silently, she couldn't bear the eldest princess' adoptive mother.
Seeing Gu Qianxue's affirmation, Mrs. Zheng smiled even wider on her old face, and she could even describe it as flattery, "The eldest princess has no heirs, if His Highness really likes you, you have to be filial to His Highness as you would your own mother, remember?"
"..." Gu Qianxue was speechless. Outsiders thought that the eldest princess longed for children because she had no heirs, but in fact, the eldest princess hated the so-called righteous daughter because she had no heirs. "yes."
Mrs. Zheng never expected that the vulgar first-in-law granddaughter in the past has become a fragrant steamed bun that everyone is vying for. She can only admire the magic of fate. "There is one more thing. The Queen's order came from the palace today, and a dinner will be held in the palace tomorrow night, and all the officials and women's families will be invited to the banquet. But the empress said that tomorrow is not a big banquet, and you can choose not to. But Now, your mother is pregnant and afraid that she can't participate, so my grandmother came to ask you what you mean, whether you want to go or not."
All the aunts waited until midnight, only to ask what Gu Qianxue meant. It can be seen that Gu Qianxue is already considered an important figure in Gu's residence.
Gu Qianrou in the corner of the crowd was so angry that she gritted her silver teeth, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn to pieces. "...this bitch!" whispered.
Aunt Pei on the side pinched Gu Qianrou's hand and shook her head. Gu Qianrou finally endured it and lowered her head so that no one could see the viciousness and jealousy on her face.
Gu Qianxue smiled softly, "Back to grandma, Qian Xue is just a junior, how can she make any decisions, Qian Xue just listens to grandma."
Mrs. Zheng nodded in satisfaction. In fact, today is also a test.
The Zheng family was on guard against Gu Qianxue. Although Gu Qianxue said it nicely, everything was for the Gu family, but in the end, when it came to King Li's matter, Gu Shangshu's actions were inappropriate. Who knows if Gu Qianxue is a vengeful person, so he has to guard against it. "In that case, you should prepare well tomorrow and go to the banquet."
"Yes." Gu Qianxue said, she had no opinion on whether to attend the banquet or not.
Mrs. Zheng said again, "One more thing. What the empress means is that since it is a small banquet specially prepared for the female relatives, there is no limit on the number of people. Mrs. Zhao is pregnant and can't make a decision, so it's up to you to decide. How many people are there?"
Gu Qianxue suddenly realized, and after a long time of commotion, everyone waited for her until midnight, just for this matter - to go to the palace for a banquet!
