Chapter 91 Do you want to adopt the eighth princess?
After hearing that the Holy One had set up a south study room in the side hall of the Qinzheng Hall, Gu Yu knew that the Holy One had taken her words to heart and was preparing to bring the two princes to teach them personally.
The Holy Spirit allowed Gu Yu to meet her sister during the Holy Festival.
She entered the palace in advance and stepped into Jingxiu Palace. The eighth princess born to Yang Meiren was playing shuttlecock with several young palace maids.
When Yang Meiren saw Gu Yu coming, she saluted Concubine Zhao and said, "I will go back first with the Eighth Princess."
Concubine Zhao said: "You should go back first. Xiaoba is having a good time, so it's okay to stay here."
Yang Meiren smiled very gently. Since she gave birth, she was drugged by Queen Xu, and her redness has not been cured for a long time. In recent years, she has shown signs of running out of oil.
She had lived enough in the empty harem, but she just couldn't let go of her daughter. If after her death, Xiaoba could be adopted under the name of Concubine Zhao and protected by Concubine Zhao, she would be able to rest assured.
Therefore, he was happy to see Concubine Zhao getting close to his daughter, so he said: "Then Xiaoba has done a lot for your mother-in-law."
After saying that, Yang Meiren lowered her head and walked out without looking away.
Gu Yu then walked into the courtyard. The eighth princess's shuttlecock kicked so high that it hit Gu Yu's arms from the sky.
Gu Yu also learned how to act like a princess and kicked her back.
"Twenty-seven!"
The Eighth Princess continued to kick, and the little maids next to her said: "It doesn't count, it doesn't count, Prince Gu kicked it for you this time, you have to start over."
The eighth princess said, "Why don't you count it? If the shuttlecock doesn't hit the ground, it's still mine."
The palace maids are not too old and have become familiar with the Eighth Princess, so they speak freely: "The princess is playing tricks."
The eighth princess said while kicking the shuttlecock: "If you can't kick me, just say I'm cheating. Thirty-one, thirty-two..."
Several girls laughed together.
When he reached Sister A, Gu Yu saluted and said, "Sister, I have something to tell you."
Concubine Zhao nodded and entered the house with Gu Yu. The eighth princess's laughter spread throughout the palace, which made people happy to hear it.
Through the window lattice, Concubine Zhao looked at the eighth princess playing shuttlecock, her eyes full of nostalgia, and whispered to Gu Yu: "If you hadn't disguised yourself as a man, you should have been as cute and charming as her since you were a child."
But under the mother's thought, her sister was always detained in the study room during her childhood. She was shaking her head and memorizing things at the age of three or four. How could she ever look so relaxed and agile again?
Gu Yu smiled, followed her gaze and looked at the Eighth Princess and said, "Sister, do you want to adopt the Eighth Princess?"
Concubine Zhao said: "Although Tang'er is raised under my knees, she is usually in the Imperial Palace and the prince's house, so there is nothing for me to worry about.
Yang Meiren's health is getting worse. She and I entered the palace in the same year, and we have feelings for each other after all. Raising the eighth princess is a piece of cake for me, but it is no worries for her. If the eighth princess is raised in my palace
, it’s much more lively.”
Gu Yu looked away from the window and asked, "How is Yang Meiren's health?"
Last time, my sister resorted to a trick and took poison herself in order to attract the Queen's sympathy. When she confronted the Queen and asked for a palace search, she noticed that Yang Meiren's face was extremely poor, and even makeup could not hide her decayed look.
Concubine Zhao sighed and said: "You don't know how serious Yang Meiren's erythematous syndrome is. Now she can walk a few steps and her vagina will collapse. If one day, I become like that, will I still be alive?"
It’s really better to die clean.”
Gu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she frowned and said, "Sister, don't say that."
Concubine Zhao knew that she was caring about her, so she smiled and said, "Okay, bah, bah, bah, I won't say such depressing words in the future."
Only then did Gu Yu relax his brows.
Concubine Zhao Guifei raised her hand to touch her eyebrows and said: "There are no hard times in life, so don't frown all the time. There are Sichuan lines between your eyebrows. How can you still look so pretty with you following me when I'm at home?"
"
These words made Gu Yu almost shed tears. She blinked and said, "Okay, stop frowning."
Concubine Zhao said: "What do you have to say?"
Gu Yu carefully considered his words and told everything that happened between him and the Sixth Prince in the past two days.
Concubine Zhao was sitting on the couch with a very ugly face and said, "Is it possible that you are worrying too much?"
Gu Yu knew that this was hard for her sister to accept. After all, she had been raising a lamb by her side for so long. Suddenly one day, someone told her that the pure white skin was a wolf cub. No matter how she thought about it, she found it incredible.
Gu Yudao: "I hope I am worrying too much. But sister, you are not afraid of ten thousand, just what happens."
Concubine Zhao just said that Gu Yubie always frowned, but now she frowned tightly.
The government's hopes were all pinned on the sixth prince, but it turned out that if the sixth prince was such a person, how should he go in the future?
There are only three princes alive in the palace. The fifth prince has the support of the eldest princess, so they can't interfere. The queen and her have a life-or-death relationship.
The Sixth Prince is a wolf-hearted man. Not to mention whether they will end well after he ascends the throne, just speaking of his temper, I am afraid it will be a disaster for the people in the world.
Gu Yu saw Sister in a daze, and thought she didn't believe it, and continued: "Sister, believe me, you must be careful about the Sixth Prince in the future."
Concubine Zhao showed a trace of pain on her face and said: "Of course I believe you, but this matter is too unbelievable. I have to think about it carefully."
Compared to the Sixth Prince, Concubine Zhao naturally believed in Gu Yu whom she had seen growing up since she was a child. Gu Yu was so steady that it would have been impossible for him to say this if he was not 100% sure.
After living in the palace for so long, she should have understood that no simple person can survive.
Earlier, she thought that the sixth prince, as the son of the Holy Emperor, was too weak-tempered. Now that she knew that the weakness was just an act, she had mixed feelings in her heart.
This blow was too big for Concubine Zhao. She had devoted a lot of motherly kindness to the Sixth Prince, how could she develop such a condition.
Concubine Zhao was a little at a loss and said: "Is it because I did something wrong? He has been bullied by the fifth prince for so long and I didn't even notice. It's my fault for neglecting him."
Gu Yu pulled her and said: "It's not my sister's problem. The sixth prince has only been raised by my sister for a few years. He looks old at the age of three. I'm afraid he already has this temper from Cui Shijin. Sister,
Do you still remember how Cui Shijin died back then?"
Concubine Zhao began to think back and said: "Cui Shijin was originally just a palace slave. She was favored by the Holy One by chance and was granted the title of Shijin. Her status was low. Afterwards, she was given a bowl of soup to avoid children, so no one paid attention to her.
But who knew that she was still pregnant. She was also very courageous and did not announce her pregnancy. She gave birth to the sixth prince alone in the cold palace. The sixth prince grew up hungry and well-fed, and raised him personally.
When he was eight years old, the sixth prince ran out of the cold palace and happened to bump into the Holy Emperor. Only then did the whole palace know that there was actually a sixth prince in the palace."
Everyone knew about this matter, and today Gu Yucai grasped the key point and said: "I just ran out once, and I happened to be bumped into by the Holy One."
Concubine Zhao gave a long sigh: "I didn't think there was a problem before, but looking back, it was indeed too much of a coincidence."
Gu Yu then asked: "What about Cui Shijin? How did the Holy One treat her after hiding the Sixth Prince for so long?"
