Gu Jiao is not good at dealing with emotional problems, but she remembers that her aunt likes Xue Ningxiang, but she can't remember Xue Ningxiang after her brain was smashed once.
"Girl Gu is here!"
The servants of Renshou Palace saluted Gu Jiao.
"Is the Queen Mother here?" Gu Jiao asked.
"Yes, I just went to court." The palace servant added, "His Royal Highness Prince Ning is also there."
Well
King Ning returned to court
After Gu Jiao got close to the palace, she could hear some movements in the court without having to inquire. King Ning took Tang Yueshan to the north to suppress the bandits some time ago.
Said to be suppressing bandits, but in fact, they used the bandit suppression to investigate the military situation at the border - Chen Guo was restless again, and quietly stationed a lot of troops at the border.
Since it was talking about political affairs, Gu Jiao didn't bother and went directly to the swing frame to bask in the sun.
She is not afraid of tanning, although it seems that this body cannot be tanned at all.
While swinging on the swing, she secretly thought about when she would go to find Concubine Jing again. That woman had harmed her aunt for so many years, and even if she could not be brought down immediately, the interest would have to be charged.
While thinking about it, a vague call came from behind: "Auntie?"
"Huh?" When Gu Jiao's figure swayed back to the ground, she stretched out her toes and stopped the swing.
Then she turned back and looked at the handsome young man who walked through the hanging flower gate, "King Ning?"
King Ning looked dazed for a moment, ahh, he came back to his senses, and smiled with a hint of guilt: "Sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
His eyes wandered back and forth on Gu Jiao's body, "It's really similar."
Gu Jiao looked down at her clothes, it wasn't the Tsing Yi she wore in the past, it was the lake blue water-sleeved corset that she wore on her aunt's side after she stained her clothes last time.
Is it because this dress is wrong? still-
Gu Jiao has never asked her aunt why there are so many young women's clothes in her bedroom? She thought her aunt had prepared it for her.
But right now, it doesn't seem to be.
Yep, probably not.
Obviously the styles are different.
As long as it doesn't involve tasks, Gu Jiao is not a person who cares about the details of clothing.
Yao shi usually speculates on her preferences to make clothes for her, but in fact she doesn't choose clothes that much, just like someone who likes to eat meat, but if he is given a table of vegetables, he will not eat it.
Which one is which she got in the cabinet, as long as she can wear it, she just happened to wear this one today.
King Ning rescued Gu Jiao once when he and Princess Rui were attacked, and the two were not familiar with each other at that time. I don't know if it was because I heard about the relationship between Gu Jiao and the Queen Mother, or because of Gu Jiao's body. Feeling familiar with the dress, he actually took the initiative to approach Gu Jiao and start a conversation.
"Has anyone told you that you look a lot like Aunt Ning An?" he asked.
"Princess Ning An?" Gu Jiao shook her head, "No."
King Ning smiled and said, "My aunt married Sai Bei when I was very young, and I never saw her again, but my aunt treated me very well, and I always remember her."
Gu Jiao snorted and asked, "Do we look alike?"
Then she will doubt her own life experience.
"No, you don't look alike..." King Ning said, his eyes fell on the birthmark on her left cheek, "but here, she was injured and left a small scar, and she always painted a scar with cinnabar. Duo Haitang."
Gu Jiao touched her birthmark.
King Ning couldn't help but look at Gu Jiao a few more times: "Last time I was busy catching assassins, but I didn't think it was very similar. See you today..."
Can make King Ning three words inseparable from Ning An, it seems that apart from this face, she is really similar to Princess Ning An in other places.
Most people are very happy to be praised like a princess, which means that she has the temperament and aura of a princess, which is a high praise.
However, Gu Jiao was very calm.
Neither happy nor unhappy.
King Ning said again: "I have heard about the queen mother. I haven't thanked you and your family for taking care of the queen mother. If you need anything, you can come to Ning Wang's mansion to find me at any time."
Whether it was because of Princess Rui's sake that King Ning was assassinated last time, or because of the duties of a prince, it was an indisputable fact that Gu Jiao escaped because of him.
Gu Jiao nodded: "Okay."
King Ning seemed very happy, and smiled: "Then it's settled. By the way, I heard that the Queen Mother said that your medical skills are good. I wonder if I can invite you to see a doctor in the house."
"The consultation fee is not cheap." Gu Jiao said.
King Ning probably didn't expect Gu Jiao's reaction to be this way. Ordinary adults are so honored to hear that they can go to the palace for medical treatment. talk.
After a while, he couldn't help laughing and said, "It's natural."
Gu Jiao said, "I'll have someone send a post to the palace when I'm free."
King Ning smiled: "Then it's settled, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
After King Ning left, Gu Jiao got up from the swing and walked to her aunt's study.
Empress Dowager Zhuang was reading the book, and when she saw Gu Jiao coming in, she hummed angrily.
Aunt has always been like this, so Gu Jiao didn't feel that she had done something that God did not allow. She walked over and handed Xue Ningxiang's letter to her aunt.
"What?" Queen Mother Zhuang asked.
"Xue Ningxiang's letter, does Auntie remember her?" Gu Jiao asked.
Empress Dowager Zhuang frowned in thought.
Gu Jiao reminded: "The mother of the dog."
Speaking of dog babies, Empress Dowager Zhuang has an impression, giving a candied baby to lick her baby in her yard for a whole day, it's not noisy at all, it's much better than a small clearance!
Then Empress Dowager Zhuang remembered Xue Ningxiang.
The main reason is that Xue Ningxiang's cooking is delicious, and Liulang's cooking is unpalatable. As long as Gu Jiao is not around, she will call Xue Ningxiang over to cook.
"The food is well cooked," said Empress Dowager Zhuang.
"You read the letter first." Gu Jiao said.
Empress Dowager Zhuang read the letter at a glance and ten lines. To be honest, Xue Ningxiang's words were really ugly, but Gu Jiao's "Zhuyu is in front", Empress Dowager Zhuang felt that this kind of word was barely acceptable.
"Yo." Empress Dowager Zhuang raised her eyebrows, "Xiao Xiangxiang is quite popular."
Look at this reaction, as expected of the aunt.
Gu Jiao sat down opposite Empress Dowager Zhuang and looked at her without blinking: "Really? How to solve this matter?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't speak, but extended her hand and made a "bring it" gesture.
Gu Jiao pretended not to understand: "What?"
The Empress Dowager Zhuang said coldly: "Don't give Aijia the garlic! Make up for yesterday's performance fee! Otherwise, we won't talk about it!"
Just know.
"Okay." Gu Jiao sighed, and reluctantly took out the candied fruit box, counted five and placed them in Empress Zhuang's hand, and said with a pained face, "There are only a few of them, and there is no room left. Gotta eat."
Empress Dowager Zhuang was choked up by Gu Jiao's exaggerated and hot-eyed acting skills. It's a shame that this girl didn't enter the palace to compete for favor, otherwise, who could be fooled by her acting skills
but-
Empress Dowager Zhuang's eyes swept over her little fist.
It seems that she doesn't have to put on pretense, and when she punches down, the emperor will lie down.
Empress Dowager Zhuang took the candied fruit and said to Gu Jiao, "What's so difficult about this? Whoever she likes, Aijia will just ask her to marry her."
The issue is-
Xue Ningxiang didn't write who she liked in the letter.
Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows: "Then I will write her back?"
"Forget it, she won't say such a thing in the letter." Empress Dowager Zhuang called Eunuch Qin, "You send two reliable people to the county seat of Youzhou."
Empress Dowager Zhuang explained the matter, and Eunuch Qin took the order.
This is the convenience brought by power, and the way and speed of solving problems are simple and rude.
With her aunt taking over, Gu Jiao doesn't need to worry about it, she is just curious, one is the middle-aged uncle Nuan, the other is the infatuated wolf dog, who will Xue Ningxiang choose to marry
Gu Jiao was thinking about it when a message from the eunuch came from outside the door—the emperor was here.
The emperor came to look for Empress Dowager Zhuang to act.
Even if the emperor is now gradually disgusted with Concubine Jing, he will not see her true face so quickly, so the emperor has always thought that the murderer is still in the dark and has not yet shot.
Gu Jiao, who has the whole truth—no, not only did she take action, but she also smashed her own foot.
Forget it, act, act, it's not a bad thing.
My aunt has tolerated the emperor for so many years without knowing that the emperor was drugged. Who can say that she really doesn't care about the old mother-son relationship in her heart
Gu Jiao also kept the truth to her aunt.
Therefore, my aunt also thought that Concubine Jing was holding her back and didn't move.
"Is the mother going to visit the imperial garden today?" the emperor said lightly.
This is also a bad acting!
Empress Dowager Zhuang rolled her eyes and didn't leave the Renshou Palace. Empress Dowager Zhuang was too lazy to play with him: "Go, why not go? But—"
She lengthened her tone and glanced at Gu Jiao deliberately.
Gu Jiao understands.
Candied fruit.
I understand it!
Coincidentally, she also observed how effective the emperor's medicine was on her aunt. Nan Shi Niang said that when Chinese herbalists need such a huge dose of medicine, it means that the medicine's effect can hardly be maintained.
She wasn't sure whether it was Concubine Jing's white medicine that couldn't hold up, or her aunt's black medicine, or both medicines were failing at the same time.
Gu Jiao gave her aunt a gesture of no problem.
Empress Dowager Zhuang raised her eyebrows and glanced at her "five candied fruits" with satisfaction: "Let's go."
emperor:"… "
Is it an illusion? Why does it feel like the Queen Mother is drooling at me
The two of them had no problem with Gu Jiao's little tail, so Gu Jiao followed up leisurely.
Eunuch Qin and Eunuch Wei are naturally there, but they have a low sense of existence, unlike Gu Jiao, who is sitting in the phoenix of Empress Dowager Zhuang—
The Emperor and Empress Dowager Zhuang walked all the way to the Imperial Garden.
The weather is good today, and there are many people in the imperial garden.
Coincidentally, Concubine Jing was also there.
Empress Dowager Zhuang entered her role as soon as she left the Renshou Palace, and was not affected by the presence of Concubine Jing, but the emperor beside her froze slightly when she saw Concubine Jing.
There was a panic of being caught.
Concubine Jing looked at the emperor with a hurt face.
The emperor knew that he shouldn't do this, and that his mother was the most important person to him, but he left his mother and Empress Dowager Zhuang to go out to visit the garden.
but-
Gu Jiao understood, the black medicine's efficacy had only reached a point, the emperor had not completely disliked Concubine Jing, and he was probably feeling guilty and complicated at the moment.
Gu Jiao guessed that Concubine Jing was expecting this, so she wanted to come out and see with her own eyes what stage the relationship between the emperor and the empress dowager had reached, which was most likely related to her next plan.
Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't know about it, and she was originally playing it for Concubine Jing. It's good that the deity is here, so I don't have to tell her through other people's mouths, and the effect will be reduced.
Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at the emperor tenderly, took out the handkerchief and wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead: "Hong'er, what's wrong with you? Is it uncomfortable? Let's sit in the pavilion."
"No." The emperor returned to his senses, but did not avoid her touch.
Concubine Jing's eyes deepened.
"Hey, isn't that your mother concubine?" Empress Dowager Zhuang seemed to have only seen Concubine Jing just now, her tone and eyes could not pick out the slightest mistake, "Eunuch Qin, go and invite Concubine Jing over."
"Yes!"
Eunuch Qin went to invite Concubine Jing.
Grandma Cai knew that it was extremely irrational in the past at this time, but sometimes people will really think that they can control everything after winning for half a lifetime. Concubine Jing agreed.
Several people sat down in the pavilion.
On the four stools, Empress Dowager Zhuang sat down beside the emperor and Gu Jiao sat on the other side of the emperor, which caused Concubine Jing to sit directly opposite the emperor.
"Hong'er has lost weight recently, so she needs to eat more." Empress Dowager Zhuang gently picked up a piece of crab roe cake and handed it to the emperor.
"Your Majesty does not eat crab cakes." Concubine Jing reminded warmly.
Empress Dowager Zhuang: ... I forgot about this silly son's provocation.
Empress Dowager Zhuang said calmly in the face of danger: "He likes it now! Is it? Your Majesty?"
She smiled and gave him a threatening little look.
The emperor frowned and took the crab cake with disgust.
Empress Dowager Zhuang's handkerchief fell to the ground and was stepped on by herself, so she picked it up easily.
Then she picked up the handkerchief and smeared it on the emperor's mouth: "Oh, why is it like when I was a child, my mouth is full of food? Come on, my mother will wipe it for you!"
The emperor's temple throbbed: ... courting death, isn't it! Don't think I didn't see that this is the veil you stepped on!
The eyes of the two fought back and forth for more than a dozen times, but it was not the same in the eyes of Concubine Jing.
Obviously very affectionate!
Concubine Jing didn't know that they were acting, and she thought they were really starting to rebuild their old ways.
A burst of jealousy flooded into her heart, and Concubine Jing smashed the veil in her hands!
Um. . . . Good morning
