Chapter 34: fall grass
After a few communications, Gu Yuqi was led into a large tent by a little palace maid.
She had also lived here in her previous life, so she was no stranger to the luxury of the facade. She kept her eyebrows closed and her feet on the thick woolen carpet.
"Go back to the words of the empress. The eldest lady of Dingyuan Hou's mansion brought it here." The little palace maid replied, and Gu Yuqi also knelt down and performed a very standard palace ceremony. "The minister's daughter, Gu Yuqi, has seen the concubine De, who is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand thousand years old."
Concubine De has been looking at this little girl since Gu Yuqi entered the door. Yun Yi seldom praises people in front of her, especially the young lady of Xungui's family. Gu Yuqi is the first one.
She has heard about Gu Yuqi's deeds from Yun Yi, and she already has a good impression of Gu Yuqi in her heart. Since Gu Yuqi entered this tent, she has abide by the etiquette, advance and retreat moderately, walk calmly and steadily, and do not aim at random, it is true as rumors Same. Although he is young, he is calm.
"Get up. Don't be cautious. If it wasn't for you last night, I'm afraid Yi'er..." Concubine De said softly, "For saying this, this palace wants to thank you a lot."
"Don't dare, the minister's daughter is just a little bit luckier. If it wasn't for the minister's maid who found the clue, the minister's daughter would not have found the clue. It is also the blessings of His Royal Highness King Jing and the adults in the inn, and the minister and daughter dare not take credit. "Gu Yuqi stood up, but still lowered her head and said.
Well, it's really good, neither arrogant nor impetuous, nor greedy for merit. He is rubbish.
She couldn't help but feel a little more favored by Concubine Desire for her.
Yun Yi has reached the age of proposing marriage, it would be good if the little girl in front of her was two or three years older. In fact, it's not impossible for her to discuss relatives at her current age. It can be decided first and then wait for three or four years. Just her family background...
Concubine De has always had high expectations for her son. Although Daqi already has a prince, it does not mean that the position of the prince cannot be changed.
Although the Duke of Dingyuan was ranked as the Duke. But a family of upstarts is not as intertwined and solid as those families with hundreds of years of heritage. According to Concubine De's thoughts, it would be better to find a daughter of an aristocratic family for Yun Yi to be the concubine.
But Yun Yi mentioned Gu Yuqi several times in front of her, and coupled with Gu Yuqi's deeds, Concubine De had to call Gu Yuqi over to take a look. . At her age, it would not be too late to welcome the imperial concubine to the palace when the concubine Zheng came in and gave birth to her first-born son.
Gu Yuqi didn't know that Concubine Moral's abacus had hit her, she just felt a little uncomfortable, and there was a faint fragrance around her nose.
This fragrance is a bit familiar, Gu Yuqi feels that she has smelled it somewhere, and it makes people sad. She has not slept all night because of Yunke's troubles. After inhaling these aromas again, I can't help but feel a little dazed. Gu Yuqi had to pinch herself secretly, the pain would wake her up.
No, Gu Yuqi's sleepy mind suddenly flashed. She had indeed smelled this fragrance in her previous life, in Zhang Wanyi's palace.
This kind of aroma smells mixed with various floral fragrances. In fact, it is to cover up the smell of a kind of grass. That grass is called falling grass. It grows in the jungles of the southern border and is not easy to see. If the beast accidentally eats it, it will Planting grass will stumble, so it is called falling grass. If you smell the aroma extracted from this grass, you will feel drowsy if you smell it too much. But this incense can also be used to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
Gu Yuqi has suffered a great loss from eating this kind of incense in her previous life, so she has a fresh memory of this kind of incense.
But why does the German concubine light this kind of incense here?
"Raise your head and show this palace." Concubine Virtue said with a smile.
Gu Yuqi raised her face in response.
Sitting in the middle chair, Concubine Virtue was as gentle and dignified as in the previous life, with a gentle smile on her face. She was over forty years old and well maintained, her skin was smooth and shiny, and there was no trace of wrinkles on her face. The hair is still black and thick, neatly combed into a bun, and two golden hairpins with coiled silk, burnt blue and emerald inlaid obliquely, and wearing an orange-red pair of Wanfu jackets, with a light yellow bait. The pleated pomegranate skirt, the whole person looks very bright and luxurious, there is no dull atmosphere, but her face is a little bad, although she has tried her best to cover it up, she still can't hide a trace of exhaustion in the corner of her eyes.
When Concubine De saw Gu Yuqi's face, her eyes lit up, but she was a little unhappy in her heart.
It's not because of Gu Yuqi's lack of etiquette and the courage to look directly at herself, after all, she asked people to look up, but because Gu Yuqi's appearance is too beautiful. She is only ten years old now, and she already has such beauty. I'm afraid that in a few years, even the most favored Concubine Li in the palace will be resigned.
The appearance of a woman is dignified and beautiful, but if she is too enchanting, it makes people feel a little too much, especially for the royal family. If Yun Yi really brings Gu Yuqi into the palace, I am afraid that even a side concubine will shake the status of the main concubine, especially if she is still a concubine. a smart one. Yun Yi has already mentioned her several times in front of him. If he really puts people by his side, he is afraid that he will make mistakes because of his beauty.
With this thought in mind, Concubine De felt that she could not continue to raise Gu Yuqi, but had to suppress her appropriately.
My own son is good in every way, and he must not be allowed to miss big things because of his **** for beauty.
Concubine De restrained her smile, and was about to speak, but she heard Gu Yuqi say, "Is your concubine the concubine suffering from head wind?"
Concubine De was slightly startled, "How did you know that?" She really had a headache these days and couldn't sleep.
"Is the incense used by the goddess to treat the head wind?" Gu Yuqi turned her eyes and glanced at the small incense burner on the ground, the smoke curling around the nose of the burner.
"Yeah." De Fei nodded involuntarily. "But what's wrong?" When she saw Gu Yuqi frowning, she was startled intuitively.
This fragrance was brought back by Yun Yi, and it was said that it could treat head wind. She used it for two days, and the effect was really good, and she was able to fall asleep.
"Go back to Mother's words," Gu Yuqi thought about it for a moment, and then said honestly, "Although this fragrance can relieve the symptoms of head wind, it can cure the symptoms but not the root cause. If you use it for a long time, you will have a strong sense of dependence." It's like drug addiction! Gu Yuqi smiled coldly in her heart, Zhang Wanyi had dealt with her with this kind of incense in her previous life, she was stupid enough to believe that the woman who kept calling her sister was really for her own good.
It was later that she discovered in time and forced herself to quit relying on this fragrance.
"How long has it been for Niangniang?" Gu Yuqi asked.
"It's only two days."
"Fortunately. It's not long, and Niangniang should not use it in the future." She used it for a month before she developed symptoms of addiction.
De Fei's face changed slightly. How could there be a mistake in what Yi'er brought back? He wouldn't cheat his mother concubine, Concubine De's complexion couldn't help sinking, that is, someone used Yun Yi's hand to cheat her!
Concubine De has always been cautious in the palace. It would be very difficult to start directly from her. The only thing she would not be wary of was her son, King Jing Yunyi.
It's not that Concubine De didn't think that Gu Yuqi was lying, but she was a young lady of the Hou's mansion and had nothing to do with the palace, so she wouldn't tell such a lie in front of her for no reason, so Concubine De was almost as soon as Gu Yuqi finished speaking. It was determined that Gu Yuqi did not lie, there is really something wrong with this fragrance.
