The summer rain is so fast and heavy that there is no room for anyone to dodge.
The queen frowned and looked at Pei Jinting,
"Today's lotus appreciation banquet, no matter what, you have to let me finish it. We will talk about the rest later."
"How can Mrs. Gu be worthy of you? I really feel that she should not join the Pei family, and she will not be able to last long with you..."
But before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Pei Jinting.
Pei Jinting's whole body calmed down nonchalantly, his face was solemn, and he knelt down to the queen uprightly.
When he stood up again, he said firmly,
"Your Majesty, your marriage is determined by fate. Ayuan is my personally chosen wife, and Your Majesty has approved it. Then she can only be my nephew's wife for the rest of her life."
"Please don't worry about my nephew's marriage in the future."
"If you feel that life in the palace is boring, you can choose a few more concubines for Your Majesty to accompany you from among these noble ladies today."
After he finished speaking, no matter how blue the queen's face turned and how angry she was, she walked quickly outside in the heavy rain.
Looking for Gu Qingyuan.
As soon as he left the gate of Fengyi Palace, he bumped into people outside.
It was Zhao Lin who came to deliver the reward on behalf of the emperor.
Gu Qingyuan left the side hall where the queen rested, with a lonely and brave attitude. When she went outside and calmed down her thoughts, she felt that she was a little reckless.
At that time, she could deal with the queen in a better way.
But I don’t know why, my heart was blocked at that time, so I just said it outright.
Standing under the eaves, listening to the rain hitting the tiles on the eaves, making a tinkling sound.
The strong wind picked up the rain outside and swirled it around her face, and the hair on her forehead was messed up, making her heart tremble a little.
The more I get along with Pei Jinting, the more I realize that he is different from the rumors outside.
She didn't know what he was trying to hide by facing people like that.
But I heard that he was on duty in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and always managed things beautifully and smoothly.
If he was really dissolute and unreliable, why would the emperor give him such an important position?
Gu Qingyuan's thoughts wandered again.
Just as she was about to turn back to find Pei Jinting, she saw the chamberlain beside Concubine Lu walking towards her.
Bowed and said,
"The empress heard that the third young lady has entered the palace, please go to Zhaoyang Palace."
Since the last time she met Lu Guifei, she asked Gu Qingyuan speciously about the bride abduction, but Gu Qingyuan has never seen Lu Guifei again.
Gu Qingyuan's heart clicked for some reason, and she felt that nothing good was going on.
That chamberlain was indeed Concubine Lu's, and she often saw him in Zhaoyang Palace.
In the past, I often went to Gu's house to summon Lu Guifei on her behalf.
While she was thinking about it, the waiter said pleasantly and kindly,
"Third Young Madam, don't be afraid. It's a good thing."
After finishing speaking, he waited patiently for Gu Qingyuan's response.
This is a palace with many guards. Gu Qingyuan believes that Concubine Lu dare not do anything blatantly.
As for the secret methods, if she insists on looking for trouble, she can't prevent it no matter how hard she tries.
She thought for a long time and then said, "Father-in-law, please lead the way."
Seeing that she did not refuse, the waiter smiled with satisfaction and made a gesture of invitation.
Gu Qingyuan pursed her lips, turned around and said to Shuangzhi,
"I have a handkerchief that I left in the Queen's Palace. Go and get it for me. Also, tell your husband and ask him to pick me up at Zhaoyang Palace."
Regarding her arrangement, the chamberlain of Zhaoyang Palace did not refute, but just gave her a meaningful look.
Shuangzhi hesitated for a moment, but under Gu Qingyuan's deep eyes, she still followed Gu Qingyuan's arrangement and turned around to go to Fengyi Palace.
The chamberlain of Zhaoyang Palace and his subordinates walked at the front, leading Gu Qingyuan around the numerous palace walls.
Gu Qingyuan folded her hands in front of her. At a corner, while everyone in Zhaoyang had turned around, she quickly pulled out a golden hairpin on her head and hid it in her sleeve.
The gold hairpin was the same style as the one that stabbed Lu Wenze in the abdomen that day, but it was not the same one.
When she arrived at Zhaoyang Palace and entered the gate, the female official of Zhaoyang Palace was very enthusiastic when she saw her and led her to the side hall.
He also asked the palace servants to bring rich refreshments and explained to Gu Qingyuan apologetically,
Concubine Yan Lu was intolerant to the heat, so she was taking a dip in the hot spring at the back to relieve the heat, and asked Gu Qingyuan to wait.
Gu Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. Although Concubine Lu was kind to her, she had some small thoughts in it.
But they did not have any major conflicts of interest before.
Presumably, she is too intimidating.
However, although Gu Qingyuan felt relieved, she did not let go of her last vigilance and did not eat the refreshments given by the female officer.
He only held a piece of plum blossom cake in his hand, twisted it gently, and finally wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it in his sleeve pocket.
At first, Gu Qingyuan didn't feel anything was wrong. After a while, she suddenly felt a little hot on her body, and a warmth slowly oozed out of her lower abdomen.
She counted the days, and it was the day when the sunflower water was coming soon. She was about to wave to the palace maid to take her to change clothes, when suddenly a gust of fragrant wind blew over her.
Gu Qingyuan's feet went weak, cold sweat broke out on her forehead and her palms, and she couldn't help but want to tremble slightly in her throat.
She quickly clenched the gold hairpin tightly and ran her fingertips across the sharp end, already understanding in her heart.
Concubine Lu must not be able to take a bath today.
Concubine Lu actually used this method on her.
Gu Qingyuan endured the pain in her fingertips, smoothed the broken hair on her forehead, leaned her body slightly on the small table beside her, and stood up calmly.
He said to the female official standing aside,
"It's getting late, so I don't want to disturb my aunt any more, so I'm going back first. Please ask my aunt to say hello to my aunt on my behalf. I'll pass the sign to the palace to ask for an audience another day."
The female officer had a kind face. Not only did she not stop Gu Qingyuan from leaving, she also diligently sent her outside the palace gate.
Finally he said apologetically,
"Cousin, I'm really sorry. Before I sent someone to summon you, I just thought that you didn't come so quickly at the queen's place, so I was delayed for some time."
Gu Qingyuan looked at the female officer calmly, the fire in her heart rising.
She just wanted to get out of here quickly, so she just pulled her lips.
"It's okay. Then let me go and serve my aunt. I'll come back another day."
After that, he tried his best to stay awake and forced himself to leave Zhaoyang Palace.
She just asked Shuangzhi to go back because she wanted her to find someone. It would be better if she could meet Pei Jinting.
In her heart, she inexplicably had more trust in Pei Jinting.
She didn't know where the frost branch would go and when it would meet her.
Stumbling along the way, Gu Qingyuan's ten fingers were cut by gold hairpins, and blood dripped on the grass. She couldn't care less and could only run forward.
However, even so, she still didn't see Shuangzhi and the people she brought.
Can't faint.
Gu Qingyuan only had this idea.
As she stumbled forward, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in front of her.
Gu Qingyuan wanted to turn around and walk to another place, but accidentally bumped into a tall figure.
Wearing red clothes and holding a long sword on his waist, this is...
