Gu Jinyan frowned and asked Xiaochun to prepare the regent's uniform. She didn't know why she wanted to enter the palace in such a grand manner.
Ever since the emperor fainted, many of his actions have become puzzling.
Even Xiao Yuheng was summoned to the palace early every time.
After Xiaochun finished dressing up, Gu Jinyan stood up expressionlessly. Xiaochun couldn't help but take a breath. This was the second time Xiaochun saw his young lady wearing the royal uniform of a princess, and she still looked very impressive.
The princess is a little more delicate, but she looks very imposing in her uniform.
"Princess, I will follow you into the palace." Aunt Ying was also a little uneasy. She always felt that the emperor's behavior during this period was strange, and she was afraid that the princess would suffer a loss if she entered the palace.
Compared with other noble ladies, the princess has less experience in some affairs of the palace.
In the past ten years or so, Zheng had been trapped in Zhangzhu Pavilion, and had not experienced many things. These people in the palace always did things in a secret way, and it would be bad if the princess accidentally suffered a loss.
Gu Jinyan seemed worried too, so he nodded.
She never takes many people with her when she goes out. She used to only take Xiaochun with her, but now she takes Aunt Ying with her, so there is nothing wrong with her.
After everything was arranged, Gu Jinyan led the people into the palace.
The father-in-law who came to meet them this time had a solemn expression on his face, not as relaxed as before.
Did something happen in the palace?
Gu Jinyan couldn't help but laugh as he thought.
After Gu Jinyan arrived, he realized that it was no wonder that the attendant had such a serious expression. There were only female relatives inside and outside the Minghua Palace.
Whether they were familiar to Gu Jinyan or not, they were all here, and there were even some palace concubines.
I didn't see the Queen, but luckily she wasn't here, otherwise it would have been even more chaotic.
After Gu Jinyan arrived, the female relatives greeted her one after another. Gu Jinyan was thinking about something, so they all nodded and walked into Minghua Palace.
It wasn't until Meng Yun called out to Gu Jinyan that Gu Jinyan saw Meng Yun and Duke Yan's wife there.
"What's going on?" Gu Jinyan was the first to ask.
When Meng Yun heard this, he was a little surprised: "Jinyan, you don't know either?"
She wanted to ask Gu Jinyan, because she was also confused at the moment. She originally thought that the regent knew something about it, but Jinyan looked as confused as she did.
Gu Jinyan shook his head: "I don't know."
"Even Xiao Yuheng doesn't know about this? We were suddenly summoned by the chamberlain." Meng Yun also had a rare serious look on his face.
"He said a lot, but he didn't mention this matter." Gu Jinyan said.
It seems that the emperor has not discussed this matter.
Gu Jinyan looked at the female family members of Minghua Palace again, and saw that all of them had confused looks on their faces.
It seems that they are all people who don't know the inside story.
"Stay calm first." Gu Jin finished her words and waited quietly.
When they came here, no matter how noble their status was, the female family members were not offered a seat, and some of them had dissatisfied looks on their faces.
"Aniang!" Gu Jinyan saw Madam Zhenbei in the crowd.
Mrs. Zhenbeihou walked over with Aunt Xi Ye by her side with a gentle face. When she saw Gu Jinyan wearing her official uniform, she showed a look of relief on her face. This imperial concubine's official uniform really suited her Jinyan.
When they came to the front, Mrs. Zhenbei Hou lowered her voice and said: "Early in the morning, the palace servant came to summon me to summon my mother to the palace. Your grandmother thought this was strange, so she wanted to enter the palace with me to avoid any trouble.
She can't protect the matter, but the chamberlain won't let your grandmother enter the palace."
"I just walked away all the way. None of the women and old ladies at home came today."
Mrs. Zhenbeihou specially reminded.
There has never been such a strange thing about entering the palace.
Gu Jinyan nodded. She had also seen it just now, but she had no idea what the opportunity was.
"I don't know what we are going to do!" Meng Yun was obviously a little impatient.
"Meng Yun." Gu Jinyan warned with a serious expression.
As the saying goes, walls have ears, let alone in the palace, I am afraid that Meng Yun will get into trouble if he speaks freely now.
Mrs. Yan Guo Gong smiled kindly at Gu Jinyan, and then said: "When will you change your temper? You are so bold. Where is this place? Jinyan is younger than you, but he is so steady."
"How can I compete with Jin Yan's intelligence?" Meng Yun muttered softly.
It's not that she has any objections to Gu Jinyan, she simply thinks that Jinyan is smart and she is simple-minded anyway.
Just as they were talking.
A new celebrity next to the emperor named Eunuch Lin came over and held the imperial edict.
Minghua Palace then became quiet.
Meng Yun's voice was very low, but full of doubts: "How come you are Eunuch Lin and Eunuch Sheng?"
Gu Jinyan took a look and saw that although Eunuch Lin was Eunuch Sheng's apprentice before, he was not yet close to the emperor. In such a short period of time, he was able to appear on such an occasion, which showed that the emperor valued him very much.
Fortunately, Meng Yun also knew the occasion, so he just expressed doubts in a low voice and said no more.
"In accordance with the destiny of heaven, the emperor summoned me and said: Most of the disasters continue to harm the national destiny because of my dishonesty. From now on, the female relatives of officials of the fifth rank and above will enter the palace to fast and pray for a month. During the prayer period, from Mao hour to Si hour.
Kneel down and pray in Changming Hall." Eunuch Minglin announced the decree.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion in the Minghua Palace.
There were all dissatisfaction comments.
Meng Yun did not speak at this time.
Gu Jinyan was also digesting this matter. No wonder everyone was talking about it. How could these noble ladies and ladies in Kyoto bear it for a month from Mao hour to Si hour every day? This was not praying for blessings at all, it was tormenting them alive.
"Quiet! If there is anyone who is unwilling to pray for the fate of the country, behead him!" Minglin's male voice spoke like a male duck.
The name Lin Gonggong means the emperor.
His words fell silent, but there were still people there who dared to speak.
Minghua Palace was deathly silent.
Only then did Eunuch Minglin leave with the imperial edict.
The female relatives of Minghua Palace also rushed out of the palace.
Without saying a word, Gu Jinyan left together with the Duke of Yan. Fortunately, the Duke of Yan, the Regent's Palace, and the Gu Palace were of high status. When they left, many female relatives consciously allowed them to pass despite the large number of people.
Unobstructed.
When they were about to leave the palace, Qi Huan called them, and then Ding Jia and Fu Qing came.
Gu Jinyan and them looked at each other, and when they were about to leave, a voice stopped Gu Jinyan.
Gu Jinyan looked back.
She is Concubine Qi in the palace.
There has never been any friendship between her and Concubine Qi.
