The tone was so natural and genuine that even Ye Qinglan almost believed it.
In fact, if it weren't for Gu Xiyu, she wouldn't want to go.
Gu Xiyu's condition is obvious. She usually refuses to see even her relatives and friends. If she really enters the palace and meets a lot of strangers, she will probably lose her temper in public. Just like that time when she was a guest at the British government palace.
Like that time, Zheng Min accidentally touched her and she screamed. This made everyone very embarrassed.
The palace is no different from other places. If something like this happens, it will not only lose the people of Duke Dingguo's palace, but also make Queen Gu lose face. Therefore, on that day, Gu Xiyu must show that she deserves to be the daughter of the Duke's palace.
Come with some grace.
This is an almost impossible challenge for Gu Xiyu.
Normally, Mrs. Zheng would have decided to keep Gu Xiyu in the palace after careful consideration and not let her follow her into the palace. But this time it happened to be Empress Gu's birthday, and the emperor opened his mouth and expressed special kindness.
Everyone in Duke Zhunding's palace went into the palace to congratulate Queen Gu on her birthday. As the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter-in-law, it was obviously unreasonable for Gu Xiyu not to show up. Therefore, Mrs. Zheng could only bite the bullet and prepare to bring Gu Xiyu into the palace.
Anything that Mrs. Zheng can think of, Gu Xinian can naturally think of.
Therefore, Gu Xinian was willing to take the initiative to lower his head and invite her to come to Dingguo Palace, not only to make Gu Xiyu happy, but also to enter the palace in half a month. With her by Gu Xiyu's side, Gu Xiyu made a mistake
The possibility of losing your temper will be greatly reduced...
Gu Xinian clearly knew that he would become soft-hearted when he saw Gu Xiyu, so he deliberately tricked her into entering the house first without saying anything. Humph. It's so cunning! It's too much! It's so abominable!
When Ye Qinglan thought of Gu Xinian, she reflexively felt her teeth itch. Unfortunately, the situation was stronger than others. At present, it seemed that she was at a disadvantage no matter what. After thinking about it, she would better slowly look for opportunities in the future.
Seeing Ye Qinglan's words, Gu Xiyu finally believed her words. She started to worry about learning the rules again: "It takes half a month to learn the rules!"
When Ye Qinglan thought of the name Aunt Rong, she had the urge to laugh again. Back then, Aunt Qiong Yao's "Huan Zhuge Ge" was popular all over the country, and everyone knew about Little Swallow and Ziwei. That Rong with a sinister face and a fake smile
Mammy left a profound impact on people. In subsequent palace battle dramas, such a character was almost indispensable.
I don’t know what the Grandma Rong I’m about to meet will look like...
The answer to the mystery was soon revealed. At a quarter past one the next morning, the carriage from the palace arrived.
Although Aunt Rong is only a female official in the palace, she represents Empress Gu. Naturally, everyone in the Dingguo Palace cannot neglect it. Mrs. Zheng went to the door to greet her in person, and then led Aunt Rong to Shunyi Hall to meet the people of Dingguo Palace.
Sun family.
Naturally, Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu were also present.
When the elegant middle-aged woman walked in slowly, Ye Qinglan was stunned. No matter what she had imagined before, she would never have imagined that Grandma Rong would look like this.
In terms of age, this Aunt Rong is not too young, at least in her forties. However, she is extremely well-maintained. She looks like she is only in her thirties. She has a thin layer of makeup on her face and her makeup is impeccable.
His movements reveal a kind of reserved elegance. His clothes are not very luxurious, but they are dignified and decent. The corners of his lips are slightly raised, and there is a light smile on his face. Even if he is standing among the noble women, he is not inferior at all.
.
Such a talented person is actually just a nun in the palace!!
Popular costume dramas are indeed unreliable. Just find some old women with crooked melons, cracked dates, and fierce faces to play this grandma and that grandma. Ye Qinglan complained silently in her heart. Look at this grandma Rong,
This appearance, temperament, and conversation are simply impeccable and almost perfect!
Mrs. Sun obviously knew this Aunt Rong, and said with a smile: "You will have to work hard in the next half month."
Mother Rong faced the Queen's mother. Naturally she did not dare to neglect her. She smiled and leaned forward: "Please rest assured, old lady. I will do my best to teach Miss Gu the rules of the palace."
Mrs. Zheng coughed, then interrupted with a smile: "Sister Lan will also enter the palace with Yu'er. Please take care of Grandma Rong and teach her as well."
Sister Lan? Grandma Rong was startled. When did such a young lady appear in Dingguo Duke's mansion again?
Aunt Rong glanced at the two girls beside Mrs. Zheng calmly.
One of them has very fair skin, even a little sickly pale, but his eyes are dark and bright, like deep pool water, and he is astonishingly beautiful. Upon closer inspection, his appearance is vaguely similar to that of Gu Xinian. This one,
Naturally, she is the most noble daughter-in-law of Duke Dingguo's palace and Empress Gu's niece, Gu Xiyu.
The other girl is slightly younger, with curved eyebrows and round eyes, and soft red lips raised in a comforting arc. Although she is not as stunning as Gu Xiyu at first glance, she is very attractive. Even if Grandma Rong is very picky,
Looking at her, one has to admit that this girl is a rare beauty.
It seems that this girl is the Sister Lan mentioned by Madam Zheng. But I don’t know who this girl is, but she is standing next to Gu Xiyu so intimately...
Mrs. Zheng smiled and introduced: "Sister Lan is the daughter of the third eldest brother of Changyuan House, and she is also Yu'er's cousin."
Ye Qinglan took two steps forward very obediently, curtsied and saluted: "Qinglan has met Aunt Rong." Even if Aunt Rong is a slave, she is also a slave of the Queen. Even if she is an aristocratic female family member with a royal destiny, she has seen the upbringing around the Queen.
Auntie is also polite. Besides, she is such a mere concubine, even if she bows, it is not considered aggrieved.
Aunt Rong's expression softened, and she said with a smile: "My cousin, please excuse me, I'm going to break this slave." When she mentioned Changyuan's Mansion, Aunt Rong naturally understood Ye Qinglan's identity.
She is just a cousin who is not even related by blood. How could she appear in the Dingguo Palace? According to Mrs. Zheng's tone, she plans to take her into the palace with her. What is the mystery in this?
Grandma Rong was so sophisticated that she naturally would not ask questions casually. She just quietly paid attention to Ye Qinglan's every move in the following time.
After paying attention, Grandma Rong immediately noticed something strange.
Ye Qinglan has been standing next to Gu Xiyu, listening intently to everyone's words and rarely interrupting. Gu Xiyu is even more silent. Occasionally someone mentions her, and she seems a little embarrassed and nervous, and then glances at Ye Qinglan unconsciously. Ye Qinglan
When no one was paying attention, he would smile at Gu Xiyu, his eyes full of encouragement and gentleness. Then, Gu Xiyu's nervous mood calmed down a little.
Grandma Rong saw it in her eyes, and her heart moved secretly.
She had heard about the fact that Gu Xiyu, the only legitimate daughter of Duke Dingguo, had an unusual temperament. When she saw her today, it was indeed similar to the rumors. She was timid when meeting strangers. Such a temperament was really unusual in the palace.
That's right. No wonder the Queen would send herself here to teach the rules in the palace.
This cousin of the Changyuan Uncle Mansion is quite extraordinary. No wonder Mrs. Zheng asked her to accompany Gu Xiyu into the palace...
Mrs. Zheng was also a person with raised eyebrows. Seeing Grandma Rong glance at the two girls from time to time, she took the initiative and said: "Yu'er has been very introverted since she was a child and doesn't like being in crowded situations. Therefore, I haven't taken her with me in the past few years.
Entering the palace. This is the Queen's birthday. Thanks to the Emperor's grace, all of us in the family can enter the palace to celebrate the Queen's birthday. It is really a happy event. I just need to ask Aunt Rong to take more trouble and make sure to teach you all the rules in the palace.
Yu'er, lest she be rude."
In the next half month, Grandma Rong will spend time with Gu Xiyu day and night. It is impossible to hide Gu Xiyu's abnormality from the shrewd Grandma Rong. It is better to tell her openly now.
Aunt Rong laughed repeatedly and said: "Madam, there is no need to be so polite, this is a slave's business." But she secretly began to have a headache in her heart.
There are many and trivial rules in the palace. Even a smart girl may not be able to memorize all the rules in just half a month. Gu Xiyu is like this again, I really don’t know what is going on.
Can you complete the tasks assigned by the Queen within a few months?
At noon that day, Mrs. Sun left everyone to have lunch at Shunyi Hall.
Aunt Rong's status was really embarrassing, so naturally she couldn't sit at the same table as Mrs. Sun and others. But it would be too disrespectful to ask the steward's mother to accompany her. After much thought, Mrs. Zheng couldn't think of a suitable person to accompany her, so she couldn't help but hesitate.
Ye Qinglan took the initiative to invite me and said with a smile: "If my aunt doesn't think that I am young and ignorant, please let me accompany Grandma Rong!"
It seemed that she was the most suitable. Although her status was not high, she was fortunate enough to be the master and would not neglect Grandma Rong. For her, it didn’t matter who she sat with for dinner anyway. She happened to take advantage of this opportunity.
I am familiar with Grandma Rong’s temperament.
Mrs. Zheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, feeling more favorable towards Ye Qinglan in her heart.
She is indeed a smart girl!
When Gu Xiyu saw this, she immediately said, "I'll go too."
Mrs. Zheng gave her a dumbfounded look, but in front of Ye Qinglan, there was nothing wrong with her. She couldn't just say, "It's really your privilege to accompany a nun in the palace to eat with you"!
Ye Qinglan smiled and came to the rescue for Mrs. Zheng: "Cousin Xiyu, I just have to go. You should stay with your aunt!"
Mrs. Zheng's thoughts can be guessed with her eyes closed. Fortunately, she is open-minded and has no inferiority complex. Dignity can neither be eaten as food nor covered with quilt. Especially in the current situation.
In her current embarrassing situation, talking about dignity is simply a joke.
As long as we can "unify" Mrs. Zheng better, this little thing really doesn't mean anything.
Gu Xiyu was extremely stubborn: "I want to be with you."
Once Gu Xiyu shows this expression, it means that no one can persuade her. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.
