Chapter 35: Who gave red plums?

Chapter 35: Who gave red plums?

"How did you find out?" De Concubine, a cautious person, still asked.

"Returning to Niangniang's words, the ministers and daughters once read a note in Jiangnan, which recorded various spices, and the note not only has pictures and texts, but also all kinds of herbal specimens. Look, the minister was summoned by the concubine De Concubine just now. When I smelled the aroma, I felt as if I had seen it somewhere. I thought about it carefully and I remembered it. It's just a pity that the minister entered the capital with his mother. I know whether it was lost in the old house in Jiangnan or on the road, and the minister and daughter never found it, otherwise, it can be presented to the Empress De Concubine for a look." Gu Yuqi spoke in a panic.

Where are the notes, she can recognize that this fragrance is full of memories of her previous life. As a transmigration woman, it is not surprising that after being trapped by incense once, she will naturally pay attention to other spices. As for saying that the note has been lost, it is because I am afraid that the concubine of Germany wants to go to see it on a whim, and that would be bad.

She knew that Concubine De was suffering from head wind in her previous life. So after a few associations, I concluded that this incense must be the kind that Zhang Wanyi pitted her in her previous life.

It's just that Concubine De Concubine didn't use this kind of incense in the previous life, and she smelled a lot of it stupidly.

Anyway, in this rebirth, many things were different from the previous life, and Gu Yuqi didn't bother anymore.

The reason why she was willing to speak out to remind Concubine De was just to repay Yunyi's favor for her brother and sister. Although she guessed that her brother and sister were trapped in the inn, Yunyi helped her to rescue her. After all, she is a The ten-year-old girl, who was accompanied by Chun Xing at that time, was a martial artist, but in case the thief was more powerful, if she rashly went to find her, not only would she not be able to find her younger brother and sister, she might also join herself in it, Yun Yi's move helped her, as well as Dingyuan Hou's mansion. If anyone can't find it, she doesn't know how Concubine Liu is going to cry, and it's her mother who will be embarrassed. If it wasn't for that, how could she reach out to the palace, she wouldn't have a long life. She just reminded Concubine De. As for how the incense came from, and what the motives of the person who sent the incense were, it was not her concern.

All these are left to the concubine to worry about.

It is rumored that Gu Yuqi has an unforgettable ability, and she is knowledgeable and talented at a young age. All these concubines have heard of it, and even the tutors in the palace are full of praise for Gu Yuqi. That's why Gu Yuqi said this, Concubine De immediately believed it.

She has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and when she climbed to this position, how could her mind be simple and easy to deceive.

Gu Yuqi was talking about dependence, but De Fei knew what the concept of dependence was. That is inseparable. It's a joke, the dignified concubine of Qi can't live without this fragrance, and I don't know what kind of trouble it will cause. She can endure the headache, but this kind of thing is absolutely unbearable.

She gave the confidant palace maid who followed her a look. The palace maid immediately understood and took out the incense burner placed on the ground to dispose of it.

After accepting Gu Yuqi's love, Concubine De was very entangled in her heart. According to reason, the little girl in front of her gave such a big favor to her son yesterday and another favor to herself today. She should be very happy, but But she couldn't be happy at all. She is too smart, and she will have a beautiful face in the future. If her mind can always maintain the current state, it's okay to say, if her temperament changes, I don't know what will happen in the future. The storm came out.

Ah, the headache.

De Fei felt that her head started to ache again. Whether such a woman will accompany her son in the future is a scourge.

"Your child is really favored by this palace." Although Concubine De had a headache, but after all, she and Yun Yi were given favors by her, so she couldn't say anything at all, so she immediately took off her wrist. He then waved to Gu Yuqi, "Child, come here."

Gu Yuqi knew that she would reward her with something, so she respectfully walked to her side, and Concubine De shoved the bracelet into Gu Yuqi's hand, "This is the year when Aijia was canonized as Concubine De, Your Majesty gave it, Aijia I'll send you off today. My good boy, you must maintain a dignified and graceful manner in the future, and don't fall into the name of Dingyuan Houfu."

Gu Yuqi's mouth twitched after hearing this, what does this mean? Could it be that she is not dignified enough now, Shuyi? If it was possible in the previous life, in order to make herself different, she has done a lot of things that are very outrageous in the eyes of people of this era, but in this life, she has always upheld the etiquette that a daughter of a Hou family should have, and did not go overboard. .

She raised her eyes slightly to meet Concubine De's bright eyes. Although Concubine De was smiling, her eyes did not have any warmth. Instead, they showed a sense of majesty. Is this for her?

Gu Yuqi murmured in her heart, but she still accepted Concubine De's reward, took two steps back, bowed her knees, and thanked her.

"Mother concubine." Before Gu Yuqi could thank her for standing up straight, she heard the bright laughter of a young man coming from outside the door curtain, and then the door curtain opened, and the little **** at the door rang a slightly sharp voice, "King Jing. Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince has an audience with the Empress Dowager." Before the little eunuch's voice fell, two young men dressed in Chinese robes like zhilan and jade trees had already walked in.

"I've seen Concubine Mother." The two of them bowed to Concubine De, and when Concubine De saw her son came, she hurriedly called her flat, and glanced at Gu Yuqi with the corner of her eye.

Gu Yuqi was still standing beside Concubine De, and she saluted when Yun Yi and Yun Ke came in, so she could only hurriedly move to the side, then lowered her head deeply, and sighed deeply in her heart, sighing together with her previous life. The poisonous oath before death is all in vain, how can I always see that person in this life, this is going to involve when.

Even if she was reluctant, she still performed a standard palace ceremony, "The minister and daughter have seen His Royal Highness King Jing, His Highness the Seventh Prince. The two Highnesses Jin An."

He is really a person who knows etiquette. It seems that the upbringing of this Dingyuan Houfu is good, yes, most of it is due to the contribution of the Houfu's wife Liang, and Concubine De also knows that Liang is from the Liang family in the south of the Yangtze River. Seeing Gu Yu Qili walking upright and her eyes not flying, Concubine De nodded silently in her heart.

Seeing Gu Yuqi's current performance, it's not impossible for her son to be a concubine, but... Sigh, Concubine De sighed tangled again.

"Miss Gu is also here." Yun Yi had already received the letter, knowing that Gu Yuqi was with her mother, he pulled Yun Ke over, he just pretended not to know.

Yun Ke had a frosty expression on his face, and there was a little bit of ice in his eyes.

From yesterday to now, Yun Yi had mentioned Gu Yuqi in front of him no less than five times, and it was the first time he had seen Yun Yi care so much about a person.

Although Yun Yi looked at Gu Yuqi with a bit of ambiguous eyes in the previous life, but at that time, Gu Yuqi always liked herself, and she was always rude to other princes. This very satisfied his vanity, so sometimes he would be a little more gentle to Gu Yuqi. However, this woman is very good at putting her eyes on her nose. Every time she is gentle, she will make some troubles, for fear that others will not know that he treats her better, which makes him very unhappy.

But many things have changed in this life, the first is Gu Yuqi's attitude towards him.

Although she did not admit positively that she also had the same memories of her previous life as herself, but when she was in the Temple of the City God, what she said, the way she looked at herself, and her pale face all explained it all.

Without the persistent look in the last life, without the noise he had always disliked in the last life, can she continue to be by his side?

She can't wait to be as far away from herself as possible. Even if Yun Ke doesn't want to admit it, he knows it well.

Away from himself, but always running Yunyi Here are several meanings.

Could it be that she wanted to be Yun Yi's Concubine! What a dream! As long as Concubine De was there, it was absolutely impossible for her to go to that position. That position could only be Zhang Wanyi's, not to mention that behind Zhang Wanyi was the Prime Minister's Mansion, but only because Concubine De was trying to win over the queen to back her son, Zhang Wanyi said. It is the first choice of Princess Jing.

If he remembered it well, in the last life, she was going to assign her sixth brother Rui Wang Yun Che as a princess, but because she didn't want to, she ended up making trouble in her own house as a concubine.

Yun Ke's eyes became colder and colder, but he forgot that Gu Yuqi was summoned by Concubine De, not by herself.

Feeling the coldness coming, Gu Yuqi knew where the coldness came from without raising her eyes.

Could it be that Yun Ke thought he wanted to create opportunities to meet him everywhere. Gu Yuqi raised a big **** towards Yun Ke from the bottom of her heart!

That person said a bunch of hurtful things inexplicably, and she didn't fall asleep last night! How dare you throw a knife at her now!

Concubine De glanced at Yun Ke a little strangely. She always comforted the child she raised on the surface, but actually used it. If Yun Ke showed the slightest ambition and impatience, he would have died a long time ago and there would be no scum left. He has always been obedient in front of him. Who is this cold look in his eyes today?

There are only these few people in this tent, so Concubine De thinks with her toes and knows that it is because of Gu Yuqi.

Strange, the two sons I raised, one was full of praise for Gu Yuqi, and the other was ignorant of Gu Yuqi, what's going on?

Rao is as smart as she is, and she didn't think of a reason for a while.

"Concubine Demond summons you." Gu Yuqi carefully replied to Yun Yi's words.

The smile on Yun Yi's face was gentler, as bright as the sun in March, but unfortunately Gu Yuqi lowered her head and couldn't see it, but Yun Ke couldn't help but feel bored in her heart. Stay for lunch?

"It's not too early, Miss Gu should go back now." Concubine De felt that the atmosphere in the tent was too weird, so she cleared her throat and said slowly, she didn't want Yun Yi and Gu Yuqi to have too much. Contact, and do not want to pay too much attention to Gu Yuqi and cause unnecessary conjectures to the outside world.

Summoning her is one thing, but staying for dinner is another.

Gu Yuqi wished that Concubine De would drive her away. When she heard this, she felt as if she had been granted amnesty, but she still endured it.

After leaving the tent, Gu Yuqi let out a long breath. Although the winter sun was soft, it at least brought some warmth to her body, which was better than enduring Yun Ke's cold-eyed knife inside.

Being led back to the tent in her house, she saw Liang Shi and others were anxious, and when she saw Gu Yuqi come in, she let out a sigh of relief and took her daughter to question.

Gu Yuqi took out the bracelet awarded by Concubine De, and Mrs Liang was happy and felt a little wrong when she saw it.

Gu Yuqi has made such a big contribution, it should not be as simple as rewarding only a bracelet, it is not because the Liang family is greedy, but it is really too little rewarded, is it that the lives of so many princes, ministers and their families in Daqi are only worth the life. On this bracelet? If it wasn't for the concubine's intention, then something went wrong.

However, it is best for her daughter to come back safely. Seeing her daughter's obvious exhaustion, Liang Shi can't wait to prepare a large table of meals to make up for her daughter.

Gu Yuqi had something on her mind, so she just ate some perfunctory and then excused herself to rest and fell asleep. I didn't expect that she was really tired and fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.

Concubine De also had lunch with Yun Yi and Yun Ke. Yun Yi quit first. He saved so many people last night. Today, he was too soft on accepting gifts, so he rushed after dinner. I went to entertain those people, leaving Yun Ke alone to accompany Concubine De.

"Xiao Qi." Concubine De sneaked everyone out of the tent, and then talked to Yun Ke, "What do you think about Miss Gu's family?"

Yun Ke smiled lightly at Concubine De, "Is the concubine mother thinking about marrying the Fifth Emperor?"

"Xiao Qi still knows Ben Gong's heart." Concubine De did not hide in front of Yun Ke and smiled. He died of virginity.

"She is not a good match for the Fifth Emperor." Yun Ke pretended to think for a moment and said.

Yun Ke's words coincided with what Concubine De was thinking. Concubine De immediately showed a big smile, but still asked, "How do you say this?"

"The military power in the hands of the Dingyuan Marquis has been handed over. Although the father emperor was thinking about Gu Huaizhong's good, he gave him a marquis. The status is there, but it is not comparable to those generals who really hold military power in their hands." Yun Ke Talking eloquently, "Gu Huaizhong, this Hou Ye, has no foundation, and he has no military power in his hands, but it is just a decoration. Besides, Miss Gu is still young now. Although she has a name of intelligence, she still needs to be able to marry a person. In a few years, who knows whether she will change in these few years? It is better to find a family background and appearance from the noble girl who has grown up!"

Yun Ke's words really meant that Concubine Moral had gone into the heart of the concubine, isn't that the reason? How could a Dingyuan Marquis without military power be worth the Prime Minister's Mansion with real power!

If Gu Yuqi's grandfather, General Liang's Liang family army hadn't disbanded, then the status of the Hou's mansion would not be the same as it is now, but that Liang family army disappeared with the death of General Liang a few years ago. His Majesty is still for this matter I've been annoyed for a long time, a team of 50,000 elite soldiers, the seals of the generals, the injuries and illnesses, and even those soldiers are getting old one after another. According to the military service system of Daqi, most of those soldiers are already old. It was overdue, and they were about to leave. His Majesty had no reason to stop him. He watched 50,000 elite soldiers disband and return to their respective villages.

The current Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is just a show, with no real power at all. Although Gu Huaizhong is still responsible for the errand of a left servant of the Ministry of War, he has no real power at all. Besides, Gu Yuqi is only ten years old now, and it will take four or five years to get married. By then, Yun Yi will be twenty! Isn't this bullshit?

"What Xiao Qi said is." Concubine De nodded, and she was even more determined in her heart. She turned to smile and said, "Xiao Qi and Yi'er are about the same age, and it's time to discuss marriage, Xiao Qi is in her heart. If you have any ideas, you can talk to the mother-in-law, and if it is suitable, the mother-in-law will go to your father and emperor to mention it."

Yun Ke sneered from the bottom of his heart. He has always been the one that Yun Yi took slightly. It was like this in his previous life, and this life will not change. No one in the Royal Palace of Nuoda really cares about him.

"Many thanks to the concubine and concubine, but the fifth emperor has not yet discussed his relatives, and the son-in-law has not considered it." Yun Ke said calmly.

His performance made De Concubine nodded secretly, knowing her position was good.

In the evening, Dongshan Hunting Ground arranged a grand banquet. After the lunch break, each family began to dress up their appearance, and they wanted to have a good start at the banquet.

However, Gu Yuqi developed a high fever. She has been recovering well since she fell into the water. In addition, she is now practicing martial arts and exercising a lot. According to logic, it is not so easy to get sick, but the depression last night and the stimulation from Yun Ke gave her. , and she didn't know what caused a hole to come out of the tent at her lunch break, and the cold wind was blowing in. When Chun Xing came to find it, the sleeping Gu Yuqi had already blown a lot of cold wind.

The illness came like a mountain, Gu Yuqi was dazed with a high fever, and her body was limp, and she couldn't even get out of bed.

Mrs. Liang invited the imperial doctor to see the doctor, and gave Gu Yuqi some medicine. When she fell ill, she could not attend the evening royal dinner. Although Mrs. Liang wanted to stay and take care of Gu Yuqi, she couldn't. As the lady of the Hou Mansion, she had to attend it. After the point, he reluctantly left, which has been delayed for a long time, and Gu Huaizhong urged it several times.

She left Chun Xing to take care of Gu Yuqi, and told her that she must stay together.

When she came out this time, she brought too few maids. If she knew that she should bring out all the four maids, she would not be unable to take care of them.

At the royal banquet, because Gu Yuqi found clues about the assassin last night, everyone was waiting to see Gu Yuqi, but wait a moment to the left, wait a moment to the right, only the people from the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, but not the Dingyuan Hou Mansion's direct daughter, When I asked about it, I found out that it was due to the cold and fell ill. Some people could not help but feel disappointed, and some people also took a bit of schadenfreude.

After all, it is a blessing, and His Majesty will be there today. If you praise Gu Yuqi in front of everyone, then the future of this little girl Gu Yuqi will be bright. Maybe she can marry into the royal family and become a princess or a princess.

During the banquet, Emperor Jing still mentioned Gu Yuqi, the daughter of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, but because she was not there, Gu Huaizhong thanked her on behalf of her daughter, and His Majesty gave him a lot of rewards, making Gu Huaizhong so happy that his mouth was gone.

Liang Shi couldn't see him like this. Although it was a pleasure for her daughter to receive the emperor's reward, she is now ill! How could she feel that Gu Huaizhong was so happy to forget that her daughter was having a high fever, and that the people who were rescued by Yun Yi last night were also grateful for Gu Yuqi's goodness.

The old one was out of tune, the youngest was sick, and the two younger ones were frightened and wanted to play but dared not leave her. Mrs. Liang felt as if she was being roasted on a fire and was restless. The royal banquet is not over, she can't leave here, she can only wait dryly, and from time to time, she has to deal with the other ladies in the house who came to congratulate her, which made her face almost freeze with laughter.

After finally making it to the end of the banquet, Mrs. Liang picked up Gu Siyang and Gu Siyu and rushed back. After returning to her tent, she was really relieved when she saw Gu Yuqi.

Gu Yuqi's two or three months of training in martial arts was still effective. The disease came and went quickly, and it only took more than an hour to burn.

Chun Xing fed Gu Yuqi some light rice porridge when she woke up, and drank the medicine, and now she has fallen asleep peacefully.

Liang shi stood there for a while, watching her sleep soundly, and patted her head again, it was not so hot, and then left to rest.

She was silent all night, and in the early morning of the next day, Gu Yuqi was awakened by the high-pitched horn outside the tent.

The horn sounded louder, and Gu Yuqi opened her eyes in a daze. After a while, she remembered that she was at the Dongshan Hunting Ground.

Chun Xing let out a sigh of relief when she saw Gu Yuqi wake up. She saw Gu Yuqi fell asleep last night, so she lay beside her bed and took a nap.

"Little miss, hurry up and drink the medicine first." She picked up the warm medicine on the stove, poured a bowl over and waited for Gu Yuqi to drink it, and then waited for her to change all the clothes on her body and scrub it again. That's how it got sorted.

"Where's your mother?" Gu Yuqi leaned against the bed, and Chun Xing held a thick cushion against her back.

"Master Hou has brought his wife and the second son and the third lady to the ceremony." Chun Xing said with a smile.

Every year before the start of the Winter Hunting Festival, there is a ceremony similar to offering sacrifices to the sky, Gu Yuqi nodded knowingly.

Fortunately, she is ill now, so she doesn't have to go. She has participated in many times in her previous life. Thinking about so many people crowded in such a small place, and wearing a dress to worship and kowtow, she is enough.

While eating the breakfast that Chun Xing brought over, she was talking to Chun Xing, and she swept her eyes to a red plum on the table.

"The plum blossoms here at Dongshan Hunting Ground are also extremely beautiful." She laughed, "Did you go to pick them?" No, this jade bottle doesn't look like something from Hou's residence.

Chun Xing also glanced at the red plum that was inserted in the jade bottle and said with a smile, "The servant is serving the little lady, how can I have the time to pick plum blossoms, when the little lady was awake just now, the servant went to get the medicine back. I found it at the door of our tent." Chun Xing smiled, "I think it was sent by someone, the slave told the lady, and the lady said that since someone sent it, she will temporarily put it away, and it's not a shameful thing. So the slaves took it in."

As long as it's not Chun Xing making her own decisions, it's fine with her mother's consent. She just said, this bottle doesn't look like something from Hou's mansion. Besides, her mother's brain wasn't caught in the door again, so why would she bring a jade bottle that was useless when she came out to the Winter Hunting Festival?

Wait... Gu Yuqi put down the bowl, "Sister Chunxing, go and bring the bottle to me to see."
