At the end of the Lantern Festival banquet, Gu Panfu slumped down on the chair and didn't want to move. Receiving the emperor during the New Year Festival and returning gifts from various palaces consumed Gu Panfu's countless brain cells. The end of the Lantern Festival banquet means that the New Year has finally passed. Gu Panfu
Fu just wants to have a good sleep and relax for a few days.
The annual leave is over, the queen's pregnancy has stabilized, and everyone has resumed greetings. The women's battlefield, although there is no blood, is still full of swords and swords. No, Gu Panfu really didn't get up today and slept past the time, so she came later than usual.
Some. Most of the people have arrived, except Yuan Chongrong and Song Yunu. Needless to say, Yuan Chongrong, in order to appear special, always stepped in before the queen came. Song Yunu was seven or eight months old.
The first month was a critical time, and the queen spared her greetings before she gave birth.
As soon as Gu Panfu sat down, without even taking a sip of tea, she heard the precious concubine say: "When Gu Ronghua first entered the palace, he was very diligent in greeting her, but now it's different."
When the bedtime began, I felt a sigh of relief in my heart. It turned out that she must be the first person to sleep with the emperor when he entered the harem. Gu Panfu stole her limelight this time, and the precious concubine seemed to be able to hear what others were saying about her behind her back.
Gu Panfu gave her a stifled look, and replied with some saltiness: "I can't compare with your precious concubine." When it came to the diligence of greeting her, Yuan Chongrong was better than your precious concubine.
The precious concubine's face darkened. She might not have slept well yesterday, and her face was a little pale. From Gu Panfu's perspective, she looked like a water ghost who had just landed ashore.
"Sister Gu didn't do it on purpose. She is beautiful, the emperor pities her, and my concubines are also envious of her." Xue Xuanshi, who had never spoken much, suddenly spoke.
I rarely interrupt to chat during greetings, and I don’t know how crazy I am today.
Gu Panfu wondered if she was in the limelight, so how could anyone dare to step on her. She looked at Xue Xuanshi with serious eyes: "Then Xue Xuanshi should work harder, so as to give me a chance and let others
"Sister, I envy you." Gu Panfu really hates calling her sisters in the palace, as if they have a good relationship, but in fact she is gnashing her teeth with hatred in her heart.
Xue Zhichun was not angry even after being criticized, and smiled gently: "Sister Gu is really good at making concubine jokes."
Gu Panfu stopped paying attention to her. For people like Xue Zhichun, she pretended to be a gentle lady, but in fact, she was the best at talking over tea.
After a while, Yuan Chongrong also came. She looked at Gu Panfu with a somewhat unkind look, but she didn't say a word. In fact, Gu Panfu knew to some extent that there were only so many people in the harem. She hoped that the queen would not have a legitimate son except Duke Dingguo.
Gu Panfu did not think so. The Queen's miscarriage had nothing to do with the Queen Mother, otherwise the Queen would not have tolerated it like this. Yuan Chongrong probably received a warning from the Queen Mother, and he restrained himself a lot at this time.
After inviting An out, the weather was fine, a rare sunny day in winter. Gu Panfu planned to take a stroll before going back. She turned to talk to Hanrui Hanlu, but she didn't see the precious concubine turn to look at her.
It had been too long since she had gone out for a walk. Gu Panfu felt a sense of novelty at the scenery in the palace. She walked around for nearly an hour before preparing to go back. The way back took the shortcut she often took. Gu Panfu was listening to Han.
When Lu mentioned that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was sending people to prune the bamboo forest, she felt Hanrui gently tug on her sleeve: "Master."
"Huh?" Before Gu Panfu could ask the question, she saw the precious concubine and the palace attendants sitting on the stone bench in front of her, as if they were waiting for her here.
Gu Panfu turned around and left without even thinking. "When Gu Ronghua saw me in such a hurry to leave, why didn't you come and say hello?" Gu Panfu spoke before her, forcing her to stay.
Gu Panfu took a deep breath. It was the precious concubine who made the move first. She couldn't be blamed. She turned around and calmly stepped forward to greet her: "Precious concubine."
The precious concubine didn't wake up for a long time, and she planned to call Gu Panfu and kept squatting like this. Gu Panfu saved face for the precious concubine. Since she didn't know what to do, Gu Panfu's patience ran out and she stood up: "I don't know how precious the concubine is calling."
What’s the use of a concubine?”
The precious concubine was not a smart person at first. She was born in a small family and was the only daughter of her parents. She grew up holding her in her hand. She was considered the only one she loved before and had no competitors. The impact of her children and the new concubines in the palace brought to her.
She is not young, so she is not as able to sit still as before. Moreover, Zhu'er beside her helped the precious concubine to get Song Yunv's heir. Recently, the precious concubine has become more doting on Zhu'er. Zhu'er is restless and provocative.
My precious concubine no longer trusts the stewardess so much, and the things she does are naturally not as safe as before.
Say hello to her today. When she saw Gu Panfu, she became angry. She was scolded again, and her anger was even more difficult to calm down. The precious concubine looked at Gu Panfu's beautiful and youthful face, thinking about the emperor's tender love with other women.
Her chest was filled with so much sweetness that she felt a swelling and pain. In order to make her happy, Zhuer said that she could stop Gu Panfu halfway and teach her a lesson. The precious concubine was a little hesitant at first, but Zhuer gave her a few words of encouragement.
, she actually fell for it. The other eldest palace maid, Qiong'er, who was following her, hesitated again and again, but still shut up. Zhu'er was full of sweet ideas, which made her clumsy and dull. She didn't want to open her mouth to displease the precious concubine.
"Gu Ronghua, you got up by yourself before the mistress called you. Aren't you too ignorant of the rules?" Zhu'er took a step forward, raised her head proudly, and her tone was very rude.
As soon as Hanrui heard this, she wanted to retaliate, but Gu Panfu stopped her. Her face was extremely cold and even more arrogant: "You are a slave, you are not worthy of talking to me."
The precious concubine suddenly stood up from the stone bench, her pale face turned red with anger, and her voice was squeezed out: "Gu Panfu, you are too presumptuous, today I will teach you the rules, and give you a twist."
You don't know the heights of the world." Then Zhu'er almost ran towards Gu Panfu, as if she had been injected with chicken blood, and was about to slap Gu Panfu as she came up.
Gu Panfu was well prepared. She took a step back, grabbed Zhu'er's arm, and slapped her twice hard. Gu Panfu slapped her hard enough that her palms were numb, and Zhu'er's face instantly became numb.
It was swollen, painful and caused physiological tears to flow down.
The group of concubines in the palace were shocked by Gu Panfu's aura, and they all froze there. Gu Panfu's dark eyes stared at the concubine: "I will give you a piece of advice. Only the ninth concubine or above in the palace can claim their own identity in private. Wait for the concubine.
When will the concubine take the position of the ninth concubine, let me teach the concubine the rules." After that, he ignored the reaction of the precious concubine, turned around and left with his pistils and dew in his eyes.
Gu Panfu walked a few steps quickly until she could no longer see the figures of the precious concubine and her group, and immediately said to Hanlu: "Hanlu, you should immediately spread the news that the precious concubine was waiting in the narrow passage to embarrass me.
The exaggeration is better, saying that the precious concubines have asked people to surround me. If Hanrui hadn't been protecting me, I would have been slapped a few times. Poor Hanrui protects the master so eagerly that he suffered a lot of injuries. Go quickly."
Hanlu reacted with excitement and hurriedly went to do it.
"Master?" Hanrui was also frightened. There was no one else on the narrow road. The precious concubine was guarding there with a large group of people. If the master really suffered a loss, no one would know.
"It's okay, let's go back now. You should take these few days as a holiday and don't appear in front of everyone." Gu Panfu patted the back of Hanrui's hand. If the precious concubine dared to mess with her, she would skin her.
"Yes, this slave will obey your master's instructions."
The news spread to everyone in the palace within an hour. The precious concubine had been furious all day long. After hearing this, she fainted from anger. She was so dumb that she couldn't express the pain of eating Coptis chinensis. When Pearl saw her fainting,
Qiong'er was forced to invite the emperor immediately. Zhu'er's idea failed this time, and she was scolded by the precious concubine on the way back. Now only inviting the emperor can make up for her mistake.
When Hanlu learned that the emperor was being invited from the other side of Zhuxia Palace, she looked at Gu Panfu who was eating cakes with some anxiety. "It's okay." Gu Panfu smiled. The emperor had just started his court and was very busy, so he wouldn't care about these things at all.
.
Sure enough, when they arrived at Taichen Palace, Qiong'er only saw Ming Zhong. Ming Zhong said that the emperor was busy with government affairs and ordered not to disturb him casually. Qiong'er bit her lip and said, "Eunuch Ming, my master, she fainted. Please forgive me.
Please tell the emperor Tongrong."
"Miss Qiong'er, it's not that I'm unwilling to be accommodating. It's actually the emperor's order. Who dares to disobey it? Let's do this. I will tell the emperor as soon as he finishes his work." Ming Zhong looked embarrassed on his face, but he didn't move at all.
Not moving.
Qiong'er had no choice. She didn't dare to talk too much in front of Ming Zhong, so she had to go back and be punished by herself.
Mingzhong sent Qiong'er away, suppressed his lips, heard the emperor calling him in the palace, and entered the Liangyi Palace to reply.
"What's the matter?" Xie Xiao was dealing with some backlogged memorials during the New Year, and was approving the memorials sent to the Dingguo Palace requesting an increase in military funds, when he heard a small voice coming from outside.
Mingzhong secretly glanced at Xie Xiao's unpredictable face and replied: "Qiong'er, who is next to Master Precious Concubine, said that Master Precious Concubine fainted and wanted the emperor to go and have a look."
"Tsk." Xie Xiao chuckled, threw the memorial in his hand into the pile that was sent back intact, and picked up the next one.
Ming Zhong pondered for himself and continued: "In the morning, Master Baizhen and his men blocked Master Gu Ronghua."
"Oh?" Xie Xiao seemed to be interested in listening to the gossip and raised his head.
"Master Gui said that Master Ronghua's rules are not good, and he wants to teach Master Ronghua how to behave."
"Then, let's be honest." Xie Xiao was a little impatient and spoke in a cryptic manner. Doesn't he know what the women in the harem are like?
"In the end, the maid next to your concubine was slapped twice by Master Ronghua. But now everyone in the palace says that your concubine used lynching at will, and it was too much to bully people. This made your concubine faint." Mingzhong did not dare to delay and said directly.
Already.
Xie Xiao suddenly became happy. This woman, Precious Concubine, is really getting worse and worse. First she couldn't wait to raise other people's children, and now she uses her position to teach other concubines a lesson. The main thing is to find a good one who can succeed and establish her authority.
Okay, but in the end, Gu Panfu lost face, and she was not as quick as others to seize the opportunity. The excuse for inviting him to go remained the same forever, and Xie Xiao only felt disgusted.
"Go down, don't bother me if you have nothing else to do."
Mingzhong bowed and went down, understanding that the emperor meant that no matter who came looking for him, he would not see him.
