1065 Take advantage of the situation, kneel down for me
Depending on Gu Qiancheng's status, when meeting any lady present, she should indeed bend her knees and salute. If it were normal times, she would not care about this kind of thing, she would just salute if she should, but...
Not tonight!
The granddaughter brought by Princess Yonghe is obviously here for her man. If she salutes tonight, won't it show that she is a coward? Will these people still take her seriously in the future?
You know, she doesn't have the support of her mother-in-law. I'm afraid even if she takes the throne, she won't be able to wash away today's shame.
So, no matter what, today I don’t bow my head, and I can’t do this salute. Not only can I not salute, but I have to force these people to kneel down!
Gu Qiancheng's eyes flicked and his eyes fell on Princess Yonghe, but he quickly looked away.
Although the real protagonist of today's drama is Princess Yonghe, Princess Yonghe's identity is there. Without taking the initiative to jump out, it is impossible for her to cause trouble for Princess Yonghe, so... she can only target these three ladies.
Gu Qiancheng looked at the three ladies, raised his eyes, and said with full force, "What do you mean - you want me to salute you?" His slightly raised tone was filled with unspeakable ridicule and contempt.
Gu Qiancheng told them with practical actions that she did not take them seriously.
Madam Hou, what about the princess?
"It's hard, shouldn't it be?" Somehow, seeing Gu Qiancheng's cold and arrogant face, not taking them seriously at all, the three ladies felt a little less confident.
"Should?" Gu Qiancheng chewed on these two words and smiled playfully.
The ladies who came forward frowned slightly and opened their mouths but made no sound.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was stagnant, and no one spoke...
Gu Qiancheng didn't speak, and the three husbands didn't make a sound either. The others, due to their status or for safety reasons, didn't dare to show their heads lightly. They all lowered their heads, pretending not to see the tense atmosphere in the palace.
Of course, this tension is only for those lower-ranking ladies. For the truly high-ranking people, what does this low pressure mean?
At least Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Jiao didn't see it. Of course Princess Yonghe wouldn't take it seriously, but the little girl next to her was very interesting.
Gu Qiancheng was very sensitive to malicious looks. Although Princess Yonghe was very purposeful, she put on a good face and always had a dignified and kind smile on her well-maintained face. However... the granddaughter she brought to Beijing did not.
Such good self-cultivation.
The granddaughter of Princess Yonghe is only fifteen years old this year. She is pretty, pure and lovely with pink makeup. But at this moment... this little girl who is said to have been named the county head is staring at her with hatred.
The look in his eyes seemed to be quenched with poison.
Gu Qiancheng was worried about what to do, so he brought the matter to Princess Yonghe, and someone came to her door.
Ignoring the three embarrassed ladies, Gu Qiancheng moved his eyes slightly to look at Princess Yonghe and her granddaughter, "County Master, are you blaming me for not saluting you when you look at me like this?"
Everyone present, including Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Jiao, had been paying attention to Gu Qiancheng, wanting to know how Gu Qiancheng would break the situation. So when Gu Qiancheng suddenly looked at Princess Yonghe and her granddaughter, the ladies also
I followed it and looked over, so...
Those sitting in the front row all saw the evil look in the little county lord's eyes and his face distorted by panic. For a moment, several ladies were frightened.
How could such a young girl have such vicious eyes?
Princess Yonghe also noticed that her face changed slightly, and the look in her eyes when looking at Gu Qiancheng changed from disdain and contempt to attention...
The little county head, who was caught by Gu Qiancheng, was explaining in a panic: "I, I'm not, Gu...Sister Gu, I'm not, I'm not."
No matter how vicious she is, she is just a fifteen-year-old girl. Being stared at by so many ladies, she feels wronged and scared.
"It's not what? Don't you want me to kneel down?" Gu Qiancheng took the words and said to himself: "I know that the county master declares justice and will not be as rude as Mrs. Changping."
With just one word, Gu Qiancheng not only drew the little county lord to her camp, but also demoted the Marquis of Changping and the two princesses.
"No...Gu, sister of the Gu family, your identity requires kneeling. The ladies are right." In order to clear up what happened just now, the little county head tried his best to pretend to be weak and innocent, and opened his eyes wide to make people laugh.
Seeing her innocence, but...
There was no trace of innocence or kindness in what she said.
"What do you mean by the little county master, that I should kneel down and salute all the ladies?" Gu Qiancheng asked pretending to be surprised, as if he had been hit hard.
The little county head twisted his handkerchief uneasily, raised his head and looked at Gu Qiancheng, then lowered his head and said weakly: "Mother... it is the rule for a commoner woman to kneel down and worship her when she meets the imperial wife, right?"
"It's a rule." Princess Yonghe nodded with satisfaction, feeling very satisfied with her granddaughter's performance.
Although there was a mistake just now, it was finally rectified, right?
Anyway, these people don't dare to talk nonsense in front of the emperor.
After receiving the affirmation, the little county head raised his head timidly: "Sister Gu...you, your father seems to have no official position, and you have no official title, right?"
"That's what the little county master said." Gu Qiancheng watched the mother and daughter singing in harmony with a smile.
Sure enough, as soon as Gu Qiancheng admitted it, Princess Yonghe spoke up, "Since you know your identity, why don't you kneel down! Don't rely on your surrogate mother to host the palace banquet, so you don't take me seriously."
Princess Yonghe went into battle in person and wanted to force Gu Qiancheng to kneel down. As soon as she made her position clear, all the ladies present, except those who were on good terms with Gu Qiancheng, all agreed.
"It's okay if you don't be polite when you see us, but you have to be polite when you see the princess. Girls from the Gu family, although your family has failed, you can say that you were brought up according to the principles of the princess of the Duke's mansion. Don't embarrass your family."
"There is no rule without rules. It is good for you to host the palace banquet on behalf of the Empress Dowager, but you must also perform the proper etiquette."
"You are a little girl who is not sensible. It doesn't matter if you didn't salute when you first came in. Now you have just made up for it. We will not complain in front of the Empress Dowager."
…
Everyone talks to me, using both soft and hard tactics. On the surface, they all appear to be doing good for you, but no one knows their true intentions.
Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Jiao were secretly frightened, fearing that Gu Qiancheng would not be able to bear the pressure and would kneel down. They both looked at Gu Qiancheng worriedly and were hesitating whether to speak out to support Gu Qiancheng when they saw Gu Qiancheng gently
Flicking the phoenix hairpin on her bun, she said coldly: "I would like to salute you ladies, but...do you ladies dare to accept my salute?"
"I have..." Palace Master Yonghe spoke, and Mrs. Feng exclaimed: "Nine-tailed phoenix hairpin!"
Everyone followed Mrs. Feng's line of sight... and happened to see Feng Chai, who was turned to the front by Gu Qiancheng!
Golden palace attire, nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, except that the clothes on her body are not embroidered with phoenixes and dragons, what is the difference between Gu Qiancheng and the queen?
