Ye Qinglan was startled and reflexively got off Gu Xinian's body, then wrapped herself in the quilt.
Gu Xinian only felt a chill in his body. The soft jade warm fragrance disappeared, and in front of his eyes was a caterpillar wrapped heavily in quilts.
...Gu Xinian sighed slowly: "You're going to leave me alone after you finish eating and wiping yourself down? At least give me some bedding!"
Ye Qinglan blushed and spat at him, but still wrapped herself tightly. Ruixue and Ruomei would never knock on the door to disturb them easily in the morning, unless there was something urgent...
"Master and mistress, it's almost time now." Ruomei's voice came from outside the door: "Shunyi Hall sent someone over to ask you to come over. They said they have important matters to discuss."
Ye Qinglan cleared her throat: "I understand, the young master and I will get up and go over now." He glanced at the clothes scattered on the ground and felt blushing, and immediately added: "I don't need you to help me get dressed."
There seemed to be two chuckles coming from outside the door.
Ye Qinglan blushed again and glared at Gu Xinian bitterly: "It's all your fault! I was troubled most of the night last night, and I was still messing around when I got up in the morning. It's almost time now, how can I still have the nerve to say hello?"
Gu Xinian laughed sullenly, but did not refute. He silently took all the orders. He wiped them casually, stood up and dressed neatly. He then took the neatly stacked clothes to the bedside and teased with a smile: "What if you
If you don't have the strength, I'll dress it for you."
Ye Qinglan rolled her eyes, turned her back, and quickly put on her clothes.
Gu Xinian knew that she had a tender face, so he packed up the clothes scattered on the ground one by one without her asking. When the two maids came in, there was finally someone in the room.
But even so, the messy bedding and the smell of love cannot be hidden from others.
Ruixue and Ruomei were also a little uncomfortable, so they could only pretend that nothing happened and quickly dressed up Ye Qinglan.
No matter how fast the couple moved, it only took them two cups of tea to arrive at Shunyi Hall. This time, even Gu Xiu, Gu Hong and Gu Bo were there, plus a group of female relatives. Everyone in the Dingguo Palace was actually there.
All here.
As soon as the two stepped into Shunyi Hall, everyone turned their attention. Gu Xinian still looked calm and composed. After all, Ye Qinglan was the new wife, and her face was far inferior to Gu Xinian's.
Hot.
Mrs. Sun looked over unkindly and wanted to say something, but finally held back and said calmly: "The Queen sent someone to deliver a letter. She said that she was getting people to clean up her residence, and she would send someone to pick you and Mrs. Zhang up this afternoon.
Enter the palace."
Ye Qinglan responded respectfully. Zhang Yue also responded with a smile.
Gu Xinian couldn't bear to say anything, but Gu Yongnian couldn't help but mumbled: "The Queen is sick, so she should seek treatment from the imperial doctor. Why did she suddenly think of asking her cousin and Yue'er to come to the palace to accompany them? But they can't accompany them.
The disease was cured..." The lengthy complaint disappeared automatically at the indifferent glance of Gu Xiuhe, the Duke of Dingguo.
Obviously, Gu Yongnian did not know the truth about Ye Qinglan's entry into the palace. Think about it, Gu Yongnian's frivolous temper is not something that happened in a day or two. Even if there are some changes in the past six months, there is no guarantee that he will change it with just a few words.
The secret was leaked. Therefore, it was better to hide this kind of thing from Gu Yongnian.
Gu Shengnian, Mr. and Mrs. Fan obviously knew nothing. Especially Fan, who looked at Ye Qinglan with a lot of envy and jealousy in his eyes.
Gu Xiyu said reluctantly: "Sister-in-law, if you enter the palace and won't come back for a long time, what will I do to you?"
Looking at those eyes full of attachment and trust, Ye Qinglan felt soft in her heart: "How about you come with us to the palace to accompany the Queen."
Gu Xiyu shook her head without thinking: "No, the palace is boring and boring, I'd better stay at home."
Ye Qinglan: "..."
Gu Xiuhe coughed lightly. The hall suddenly became quiet: "Ms. Ye, you and Mrs. Zhang are entering the palace together this time. You must be careful with your words and deeds, and you must not bring any criticism to the Queen.
"Trouble, you heard?" Queen Gu was ill and summoned her family to the palace. Once the news reached the ears of Concubine Zheng and others, it would be strange not to take the opportunity to cause trouble.
The words were specifically addressed to Ye Qinglan. Ye Qinglan did not dare to neglect and responded hurriedly: "My grandpa's instructions must be kept in mind. Please rest assured, grandpa, my grandson will be careful and will never cause trouble to the Queen.
"
Gu Xiuhe gave Ye Qinglan a meaningful look: "The Queen's condition cannot be delayed for too long. If she can recover as soon as possible, it will be a great joy for our Dingguo Palace." This was secretly telling her to do her best.
Tried my best.
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly: "What my grandfather said is that my grandson-in-law will serve the Queen with all her heart. The Queen has good fortune and God will definitely bless the Queen to get well soon."
She is indeed an exquisite and exquisite woman!
Gu Xiuhe's eyes flashed with approval, and he said nothing more. He gave Zhang a few more words and let everyone disperse.
Shortly after lunch, the carriage from the palace arrived, and it was the concubine who came again. Compared to the calm and covert manner last time, the concubine was much more direct this time, with a look of worry on her face.
Sun's heart sank: "Is the Queen's condition serious again?"
Rumors have spread in the palace, and there is no need to hide it from the people of Duke Dingguo's mansion. The concubine sighed and nodded: "Yes, the queen has not been in good spirits recently. She can't fall asleep after drinking the soothing soup every day. Even so.
When I woke up, I felt very sleepy and lacked energy. Recently, I have even been too lazy to talk, and the slaves are also very worried..."
The concubine Yue did not know the inside story about summoning Ye Qinglan and Zhang Yue to accompany her in the palace. However, judging from her standpoint, she was in favor of the matter. It is not terrible for a person to be sick.
If you feel depressed, your overall condition will get worse and worse. If your mother-in-law comes to the palace to accompany the Queen, maybe the Queen's spirit will be better.
Mrs. Sun's eyes turned red when she heard this, and her heart felt like it was being pulled.
Ye Qinglan and Zhang Yue entered the Shunyi Hall one after another. Seeing Mrs. Sun's red eyes, they were both slightly startled. When they heard the daughter-in-law talk about Queen Gu's current situation in detail, they both felt pity for her.
Ye Qinglan didn't have any good impressions of Empress Gu, and she didn't have a good impression of Mrs. Sun. But at this moment, Mrs. Sun, who had lost her domineering look and looked sad, was just an ordinary mother who cared about her daughter...
Ye Qinglan's heart softened suddenly. She walked to Mrs. Sun and said in a low voice: "Grandma, don't worry, the queen's health will definitely get better in a month at most."
Mrs. Sun also forgot about the fact that she usually disliked Ye Qinglan, and actually took the initiative to hold Ye Qinglan's hand, choking and saying: "Ms. Ye, when you enter the palace this time, you must..."accompany" the Queen."
The hand holding her unconsciously used a lot of strength.
Ye Qinglan did not cry out in pain, nor did she withdraw her hand. She just smiled gently and said, "My granddaughter-in-law, please remember your grandmother's advice."
When people are vulnerable, they will always look for hope unconsciously. At this moment, Ye Qinglan is Sun's hope.
Ye Qinglan smiled and nodded. Such a gentle and confident smile naturally infected Sun. Only then did Sun realize that she had lost her composure and retracted her hand a little shyly.
Ye Qinglan smiled at Yue Guan and said: "Yue Yue Guan, it's getting late, it's time for us to set off."
The daughter-in-law gathered her composure and responded with a smile: "Yes, this servant was negligent. I was busy talking just now and actually forgot the time. If we go back late, it will be bad for the empress to wait for us."
Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Zheng and others personally put them on the carriage. Because everyone was there, Gu Xinian couldn't whisper anything to Ye Qinglan. He just simply warned: "Be careful in everything and take care of yourself!"
Ye Qinglan responded with a smile, and the two looked at each other for a moment before looking away.
It wasn't until this moment that Ye Qinglan felt the reluctance to leave. It would take at least half a month to enter the palace this time. If the situation was serious, it might take even longer. She and Gu Xinian were together
It is not easy to meet someone inside the palace and one outside the palace...
Along the way, Ye Qinglan and Zhang Yue didn't say much. They chatted casually for a few words, and then each turned their attention to Queen Gu's illness.
Ye Qinglan was secretly thinking about where to start the treatment. Zhang Yue was thinking about what Sun said to her yesterday: "...this time you accompany Ye into the palace, no matter what Ye does, you will do it."
Don't stop her. However, you must secretly note down her every move. If you find anything wrong, have someone secretly send a letter back to the house..."
The words were vague. If you think about it carefully, it seems to be a hint that she was monitoring Ye Qinglan's actions!
But, why? Didn’t the Queen summon the two of them to the palace? Why did Mrs. Sun say such strange words again?
Zhang Yue was stunned and lost interest in talking.
The daughter-in-law was also worried, and the carriage became quiet.
The long drive was spent in silence. After entering the palace, Ye Qinglan followed the concubine-in-law all the way to Fengyi Palace.
The daughter-in-law went in first to resume her duties, and Ye Qinglan and Zhang Yue waited in the side hall together.
After waiting for a long time, the concubine Yue was not seen coming back. Zhang Yue couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Why is the concubine Yue always missing?"
Ye Qinglan thought for a while and said: "Perhaps the empress is not in good spirits and is not suitable to meet guests, so the daughter-in-law has not come for a long time."
This is possible! After all, Queen Gu is the Lord of the Sixth Palace. She usually displays a dignified and rigorous side in front of others. She definitely doesn't want others to see her looking too embarrassed.
Zhang Yue nodded silently. Just as he was about to say something else, the figure of the concubine-in-law appeared at the door: "The Queen is taking a nap, and the servants don't dare to disturb the Queen. It's better to go and settle down first, and see you two again when the Queen wakes up."
Not too late." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
