184. Is it an enemy or a friend
Everyone was shocked, everyone knew the temper of Princess Yong'an, like a volcano, if it erupts, no one can stop it, no one dares to stop it.
Who dares to pull out his teeth
Under the moonlight, beside the fairy-like Concubine Qin, there was a woman in a pink dress. Half of her long, smooth, black hair was tied in a bun of ingots on top of her head, and the rest of her hair hung down casually, agile and lively.
There are not many decorations, only a few pink silk flowers are used, which match the pink silk dress. Although it is a little shabby, it matches her delicate face and watery eyes, and it has a lot of aura.
If Concubine Qin is a noble and unprofessional hibiscus, the woman in pink next to her is as fresh and lovely as a little lotus with sharp horns.
Who is this man
Some people recognized Gu Qianxue's identity, but felt that today's Miss Gu family was different from the past.
"Your Highness, Qianxue is bold. This is our aunt. She has just entered the mansion, and I ask Her Royal Highness to have a lot. Can you spare her life?" Gu Qianxue begged nervously.
Princess Yong'an was about to refuse, but her words stopped, because no matter how hard she made things difficult for Gu Qianxue before, Gu Qianxue always acted as if she didn't care, but now she is begging for an aunt.
"You have a good relationship with her?" The princess's tone was full of arrogance and contempt.
The wives around also showed disdain, because the main family hated these aunts the most, and wished that they were all dead. As a legitimate daughter, it is shameful to plead for aunts.
Gu Qianxue said, "Back to Her Royal Highness, we can't talk privately, but since she belongs to my father and has joined our Gu family, as a member of the family, I just can't let her go."
Among the crowd, some wives looked at Gu Qianxue differently, because as a daughter-in-law, she was magnanimous and not petty, so she was a big deal.
The eldest princess was quite satisfied with Gu Qianxue's answer, "But she laughed at me, so that's all?"
Gu Qianxue said, "Your Highness, you misunderstood. Your Highness didn't do anything out of character. How could she laugh at you? If you don't believe me, Qianxue will ask you." Then she turned around and said to Aunt Liu, " Aunt Liu, what were you laughing at just now?"
Aunt Liu was born in the market, and her mind was very active. Although she was afraid, her mind was spinning quickly in order to survive, "Your Highness, I was chatting with Zhou Shi just now, and I was talking about something funny... I haven't read much, and I don't have much brain." It's easy to use, the concubine Qin and His Royal Highness the princess are driving, the concubine didn't realize it for a while."
Gu Qianxue nodded secretly—that's fine, no matter what the result is, at least she can't admit to laughing at the Eldest Princess' posture, and now it's a punishment, not a death penalty.
Of course, it is best not to punish.
Thinking about it, Gu Qianxue said to Aunt Liu, "It's a serious crime to lose your composure in front of Concubine Qin and His Royal Highness, Aunt Liu, do you know that?"
Aunt Liu burst into tears, "I know, Your Highness, please punish me, I know I'm wrong."
Seeing this, Concubine Qin said softly, "Bifu, since Qianxue is begging for mercy, forget it."
Only then did the eldest princess snort coldly, "I'll spare you this time, next time I will wink."
The eunuchs who were holding Aunt Liu let go of Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu was paralyzed from fright and lay on the ground, "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess, and thank you, Concubine Qin." I kept thanking.
Princess Yong'an didn't even look at Aunt Liu, she said coldly, "Come on, let's go in." Saying that, she went into the palace with Concubine Qin and Gu Qianxue.
Concubine Qin has a special status, and the eldest princess is also noble. The harem is the home of the two of them, so naturally they don't have to wait for the summons with the officials and women.
As for Gu Qianxue, she really wanted to stay, but how could Concubine Qin and the eldest princess let her go
When passing by Aunt Liu, Gu Qianxue frowned, pursed her lips and shook her head slightly.
Aunt Liu immediately understood what it meant—the eldest lady told her not to be too rude! It was indeed her fault just now. She lost her composure in front of the lady who was either rich or noble, and thought that she had stepped into the upper class in a whimsical way, but now it seems that she is still an ant that can be crushed to death at will. .
Although Aunt Liu didn't study much, she was smart. She learned a lesson immediately after experiencing an incident, and she understood the low position she was in.
The eldest princess and her party left and entered the palace gate, and the crowd suddenly felt like a pot was boiling.
You must know that the eldest princess has a violent personality, and even the emperor's face is offended, there are no more than five people who can save people under the eldest princess, and one of them is Gu Qianxue.
The wives and ladies talked a lot, and many wives and old wives even surrounded the Zheng family.
"Old Madam Gu, your granddaughter is really amazing, she can actually get into the eyes of the eldest princess."
"Congratulations to Mrs. Gu, the lady of the Gu family has a graceful posture, which is really rare."
The crowd praised Gu Qianxue to the sky.
Naturally, Mrs. Zheng also felt high-spirited and proud, but her heart was getting colder and colder. With a smile on her face, her eyes became more and more frightened—although Gu Qianxue has a relationship with Concubine Qin, today is the banquet held by the empress. Why did Concubine Qin insist on having Qianxue by her side? Could it be that she had some ulterior motive? Could it have something to do with... the verbal marriage contract with the princess more than ten years ago
Aunt Liu had a serious face and frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.
Aunt Zhou stepped forward, "Sister Liu, are you okay? You really scared me to death just now!"
Aunt Liu raised her eyes and looked at Aunt Zhou with a half-smile, her eyes were cold, "Why didn't you scare me to death?"
Aunt Zhou froze all of a sudden.
Aunt Liu chuckled, "I'm just kidding, I think I scared you." But she was saying in her heart - a friend in need is a friend, now she can see clearly who is a friend, who is an enemy, and who is a spectator.
Seeing that Aunt Zhou seemed to be making out with her, but once something happened, she ran faster than anyone else; the eldest lady usually ignored her, but she stood up at the most critical moment.
Aunt Liu remembered Gu Qianxue's kindness in her heart, and then glared fiercely at Pei's mother and daughter.
She also remembered this grudge!
When the time came, a group of eunuchs and the princess went out to welcome the female relatives into the Palace of Qianxi.
Ganxi Hall is a palace specially used for banquets in the Nanyue Kingdom Palace. It occupies a large area and is round in shape. It is a palace lantern, with two layers of palace lanterns, illuminating the entire hall as brightly as day, with brilliant lights.
Although it was a small temporary banquet hosted by the empress, the seats were also particular. The emperor and empress sat in the center, and the harem concubines sat around them according to their ranks.
The position that continues outward is the female family members of the hundred officials, and the female family members are also arranged according to the rank of the husband's family.
Because Gu Shangshu was a second-rank official, Zheng's imperial order was not high, so Zheng led a group of aunts to sit a little far away from the royal family in the center, but Gu Qianxue was arranged next to Concubine Qin.
