The empress smiled and asked everyone to get down. Then she saw Princess Tingli frowning and her face full of anger, so she asked: "Who made my Tingli angry?"
After saying that, she looked coldly at Ji Moyan who was next to Gu Man. Gu Man quickly saluted, "Back to the Queen!" Then she raised her hand, "It's me! I have some misunderstandings with Princess Tingli.
Princess Li is very angry, I have already told the princess, and I will explain it to the princess in person when I have time!"
After hearing this, the Queen's face softened a little, and she smiled: "That's it!" Then she turned to look at Princess Tingli and said: "Tingli, it's better for you to be reconciled since childhood. Don't hurt the feelings of sisters over trivial things.
point!"
Princess Tingli said nothing, turned around and sat down in the first seat opposite Gu Man with an angry expression.
The queen shook her head helplessly.
After the Empress sat on the highest phoenix chair, the banquet officially began. Everyone stood up again and said auspicious words of blessing to the Empress.
Then the female relatives of each aristocratic family presented gifts one by one.
Princess Tingli was the first to present her gift, which was a string of Buddhist beads obtained from an eminent monk. The Queen was very fond of it. Then came Gu Man, who presented the Queen with "A Dream of Red Mansions"
The first volume of.
Gu Man sent Qing'er to the market to find out that there was no book "Dream of Red Mansions" in this era.
Gu Man thought to herself that the Queen must be very bored when she stays in this deep palace every day. Why not give her a book to read to relieve her boredom?
After Gu Man explained the general content of the book to the Queen, the Queen was very curious and satisfied, and praised Gu Man highly.
After Ji Moyan presented the gift, the Queen looked calm and sent the nun beside her to receive it.
Ji Moyan still gave the luminous pearl that Cheng Mo found to the Queen.
Then, Gu Man saw that the Queen seemed to be about to say something, so she hurriedly interrupted: "Queen, there is something I want to say to you alone after the banquet is over!"
Looking at Gu Man's eyes, the Queen Empress became confused, and then nodded. Later, someone came up to offer a gift, and the Queen Empress swallowed back what she wanted to say.
Later, whenever the Empress looked at Ji Moyan and wanted to say something, she was interrupted by Gu Man. Finally, the Empress finally realized that Gu Man did it on purpose, so she spoke to everyone:
"I'm a little tired, so I'll take a rest first. You guys can use it more slowly!"
After saying that, the queen stood up and left.
Then the Queen's nun came and asked Gu Man to go to the bedroom to talk.
Gu Man stood up and said to Ji Moyan: "Wait for me here, don't leave, and stay away from the pond in the Royal Garden!" Then he said to Qing'er and Lan'er behind him: "
I’ll go find the queen first, you two protect the little madam, and I’ll come back as soon as I go!”
The two maids nodded and said "Yes!"
Ji Moyan didn't quite understand why Gu Man wanted to keep her away from the pond in the Imperial Garden, since she wouldn't go to the Imperial Garden.
Princess Tingli, who was sitting alone at the head of the banquet, saw Gu Man and Ji Moyan being called away by the nuns beside her mother, and then she also stood up and left the banquet.
After arriving at the Queen's palace, Gu Man bowed to the Queen. The Queen smiled slightly and said, "No need to pay tribute! You just said at the banquet that you wanted to see me for something. What did you mean?"
Gu Man said: "Mother, it's not me who has something wrong, it's Yan'er who has something! Yan'er also has a gift for you!"
The Queen looked at Gu Man in confusion and asked: "Okay, I heard that you made a big fuss at Cheng Mo and Ji Moyan's wedding day. Why are you so protective of her now? This palace is really embarrassing.
No idea!"
Gu Man knew that the queen's dislike for Ji Moyan came entirely from her love for her niece. If she ignored her, the queen would not care whether Cheng Mo married a fairy or a commoner.
Gu Man was deeply moved, so she decided to tell the Queen her thoughts.
"Mother, I want to make peace with the Marquis!"
Hearing Gu Man's words, the Queen Mother was extremely surprised, but she still maintained a calm face and asked: "Okay, three years ago, I tried to persuade Cheng Mo, but I felt that although Cheng Mo was a Marquis and had a noble status, he didn't like him.
As for you, I asked you not to marry him. But you seemed to be possessed and would not marry him unless he was there. In the end, you even..." The Queen paused, swallowed back the words that she almost blurted out, and then said: "Now
, but you suddenly said that you wanted to divorce Cheng Mo? Tell your aunt, did Cheng Mo bully you? "
Gu Man shook her head and replied: "Aunt, I didn't decide suddenly. But over the years, I finally understood what my aunt said. I didn't understand it before, but now that I understand it, I naturally thought about it. I'm so stubborn.
Tian, instead of enduring like this day after day, why not let the Marquis and I part ways and be happy together!"
The queen's eyes were full of distress, and then she said with some worry: "But if you and Cheng Mo are divorced, how will you live with yourself? Even if you are divorced, who knows what will be said about you outside? In this world,
, after all, he is too harsh on us women!"
Gu Man saw that the queen was worried and quickly changed the subject: "Aunt, don't worry, don't care what they say! You'd better take a look at the gift Yan'er gave you first!"
The Empress sighed helplessly and said: "Okay, seeing that you are so interested, then take it out."
Gu Man smiled and pretended not to take out the things yet. She just put her face next to the Queen's Empress and said, "Aunt, please touch my face and see if there are any changes!"
The Empress smiled and pinched Gu Man's face, and said dotingly: "We are married. She looks like one of the best in our capital. If she changes again, she will probably be even prettier than the fairy daughter in the sky."
It’s over!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen's smile changed. She raised her hand to take a look, and then gently rubbed Gu Man's face with her hand. She suddenly said in surprise: "Oh no, I didn't apply powder, I just applied it."
Some lipstick?”
Gu Man nodded.
After seeing it, the Queen couldn't help but said with envy: "It's really good to be young. Unlike me, I am about to be in my forties now, and I can't compare to you young people!"
Gu Man smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are not old. In fact, I don't need to put makeup on my face, and my skin is still supple. It's not entirely because we are young. More importantly, Sister Yan'er developed the
There is something called "Ningxiang Pills" that can be dissolved into water and applied on the face to keep the skin elastic, firm and shiny. This is the real gift that Yan'er wants to give you today. Do you want to try it?
?”
After hearing what Gu Man said, the queen became interested and asked: "Is it really so magical?"
Gu Man nodded, "Don't you think I am an example? Yan'er and I have already done experiments for you, and I guarantee there will be no side effects!"
The queen looked at Gu Man's fair and tight face, and was very excited. She hurriedly changed the palace maid to clean her face, and then Gu Man applied it to the queen herself.
Gu Man then performed the operation, and after a quarter of an hour, he was cleansing his face. The effect was even better than Gu Man expected. Everyone around him was surprised and praised when he saw it.
The empress's face really looks much better, and the fine lines around her eyes have faded.
The queen looked at her face in the bronze mirror and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
"This is really a good thing!" After saying that, the queen looked at Gu Man again and asked: "I am the only one who has this thing? Or..."
Gu Man said hurriedly: "Aunt, this Ningxiang Pill is really difficult to make. Time is tight. Yan'er only came in time to make this small box. No one else has it yet. You are the only one here!"
After hearing this, the queen nodded with satisfaction.
This thing is indeed a treasure. If the young women in the harem know about it, what advantage will I have? This chapter has been completed!
