"Why is there no one here? Xiaochun is following me, and Aunt Ying is also here." Gu Jinyan's habit was not to like having too many people following him.
This was related to the fact that Zheng had always done most of the things herself in order to embarrass her.
Well done, let Eunuch Jing do what you want.
Gu Jinyan didn't think it through anyway.
Meng Yun couldn't help but lower his head and smile: "Jin Yan, the regent is not afraid that you will have no one to take care of you. He is afraid that we will wait for you to go to a brothel."
Gu Jinyan's expression was complicated.
Others lowered their heads to eat, but they did not accept these words.
She thought of Zhao Yi, so she had to arrange a time to see Zhao Yi.
Anyway, now is not the right time.
The little sisters didn't have much appetite, so after staying for a while, they went home. They had to go back early to rest, as they would have to get up early tomorrow morning.
Gu Jinyan also went back honestly.
Xiaochun was really worried that praying would tire Gu Jinyan, so she went to the kitchen and said: "Jin Niang, starting tomorrow, breakfast should be prepared earlier. Let's make some nourishing soup for breakfast."
Jin Niang was a little surprised when she heard the time: "Why is it so early?"
"Starting tomorrow, the princess will enter the palace to pray. From Mao hour to Si hour, there will be more snacks in the dining room during this time." Xiaochun said with a complicated expression.
He also looked worried.
The princess's health is not very good. She has been like this since she was a child, and she was tortured by Mrs. Zheng since she was a child.
Seeing that the weather was about to turn colder, Xiaochun was really worried that the princess would not be able to endure it.
I couldn't help but give the kitchen a few more words.
Jin Niang didn't ask any more questions.
Just hearing this, I couldn't help but become solemn.
The prayer time was so long, but Jin Niang was extremely worried when she heard the princess's body was so weak, and turned around to figure out how to prepare the meal.
Gu Jinyan waited until very late, but Xiao Yuheng did not come back. The guards around him came over in a hurry and said that the regent was still trapped in the palace.
Gu Jinyan saw that it was getting late, so he went to bed by himself.
Maybe thinking about what happened in the past few days, Gu Jinyan didn't sleep very well. When the time came, when Xiaochun woke her up, Gu Jinyan was sweating a lot.
"Princess, are you having a nightmare?" Xiaochun asked worriedly when he saw that she looked wrong.
"It's okay." Gu Jinyan responded and hurriedly went to take a shower and freshen up.
During breakfast, Gu Jinyan didn't have much appetite. Aunt Ying was worried that her body wouldn't be able to endure it, so she persuaded her and said, "Princess, you should eat some at least, otherwise you won't know what happened when the blessing comes."
Gu Jinyan still forced himself to eat some and drank some soup.
Then he went into the palace.
This time we went directly to the Hall of Eternal Life.
In the Palace of Eternal Life, many female relatives have already arrived, especially those with lower official positions, who arrived early, but the Palace of Eternal Life is extremely quiet.
When Gu Jinyan arrived, Meng Yun and the others had already arrived.
Meng Yun also remained silent.
As the bell rang to start praying, everyone knelt down in Changming Hall. Gu Jinyan had often been punished by Zheng for urinating since he was a child, so it was okay to kneel for half an hour.
But out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Meng Yun had begun to lose his ability to kneel, and he looked uneasy on his knees.
They were kneeling here, but Eunuch Minglin was always watching and could not speak.
Gu Jinyan continued to kneel.
More than an hour passed, and Gu Jinyan felt that his legs were a little sore, and Meng Yun's face looked a little unhappy.
"Are you not allowed to rest or arrange meals?" Meng Yun lowered his head and asked in a voice that only Gu Jinyan could hear.
"I don't know." Gu Jinyan thought, this was a bit too embarrassing.
Are you really allowed to kneel for that long?
Among the women from these aristocratic families, the ones who are usually so delicate and well-bred have been able to survive until now. Even she felt a little uncomfortable in her knees.
By the end of it, my knees might be broken.
Qi Huan couldn't bear it anymore, so she got up and wanted to rest her knees. Eunuch Minglin glanced at her and said, "Princess Qi Huan!"
Qi Huan quickly knelt down properly.
Even Qi Huan was warned, and the other female relatives did not dare to mess around.
Qi Huan is the princess after all, so if it is their turn, they may not know what will happen.
The long time passed slowly.
Sudden.
Hearing a popping sound, Gu Jinyan lowered his head slightly, looked back and saw a young lady kneeling behind in the Hall of Eternal Life who seemed to have fainted.
When Eunuch Minglin saw this, he angrily walked over and asked the servant to slap him directly.
The young lady from a petty official family was slapped awake.
After being angrily scolded by Eunuch Minglin for a long time, he continued to kneel.
But she didn't dare to faint again.
Gu Jinyan looked frightened.
The people in the Hall of Eternal Life were all female relatives of fifth-rank officials and above, but this Eunuch Lin actually did something like this, which shocked Gu Jinyan.
Meng Yun's face was also extremely ugly.
This approach is really ugly.
If something happened to a noble lady like them, would it be like this? Everyone was trembling in their hearts, not daring to lose the face of the mansion, and at the same time, they also didn't dare to be the standout in this stall.
Everyone endured it.
When Gu Jinyan knelt for almost three hours, her forehead was covered with fine sweat. If she continued to kneel like this, she would feel a little uncomfortable.
Praying for blessings in the Hall of Eternal Life is different from kneeling at Zheng's place. In Zheng's place, seeing that she is not doing well, Zheng usually relents. Even if Zheng doesn't relent, she just kneels and faints. But in
It is not allowed to fall unconscious while kneeling in the Hall of Eternal Life.
After three hours, Eunuch Minglin called out to stop.
Let everyone go back to rest and come back early the next morning to pray.
Meng Yun's face turned pale. When he finished speaking, he felt a little dizzy and was hurriedly taken away by Duke Yan's mansion.
Gu Jinyan remained in a kneeling position. When she was about to get up, her figure flashed and she almost fell to the ground. Xiaochun helped her up in time, her eyes almost turned red: "Princess, are you okay?"
Gu Jinyan shook her head and tried to get up again. Her legs were numb and weak, and Xiaochun could not help her up.
A servant's sleeve appeared. Gu Jinyan glanced at it. Eunuch Minglin subconsciously wanted to retract his hand. Gu Jinyan happened to put his hand on his elbow at this moment: "Thank you, Eunuch Minglin."
After standing up, he nodded towards Eunuch Minglin, supported Xiaochun and stood for a while, and then slowly walked out after he gradually felt some sensation in his legs.
After leaving the Palace of Eternal Life, Aunt Ying hurriedly stepped forward: "Is the princess okay? How is it?"
"It's okay, let's go back first." Gu Jinyan was exhausted now and her legs were in severe pain. She really didn't have the energy to argue in the palace.
Aunt Ying supported him together and hurried out of the palace.
Sitting on the carriage, Gu Jinyan felt that the carriage was so comfortable for the first time.
