After rebirth, the princess made and dragged

Chapter 71 Openness

On the day after the Flower Festival, news came out from the palace that the Queen and the Crown Princess were going to Baiyun Temple to perform ashram, fast, bathe and pray there to thank the Flower God for appearing.

Everyone in the world knows that the Queen and the Crown Princess are virtuous, but only those who were in Wangyue Tower yesterday knew that this was actually a punishment.

The Queen and the Crown Princess, one in charge of the internal affairs of the harem and the other in charge of the inner courtyard of the East Palace, suddenly have to go to Baiyun Temple, which is more than a hundred miles away from the capital. Many things they are doing or planning to do will be disrupted.

This was no ordinary ban. If it was just a ban, they would be better informed than they would be outside the capital if they were still in the capital.

However, the queen is still the queen. Even though she was briefly driven out of the center of power in a hurry, she did a lot of things before leaving.

She gave the phoenix seal to Prince Duan's biological mother, Concubine Zhao Shu, and asked her to temporarily take over the throne and assist in managing the harem. This move won praise from both the government and the public, saying that the queen was worthy of being a virtuous queen who was not greedy for power and devoted herself to the country.

At this time, it was also reported that Princess Duan mistook the miracle for an accident at the Flower Festival in order to slander the Crown Princess, and complained about it with a villain's heart. This made the incident of Princess Zhao Shu taking the Phoenix Seal a mystery.

layer shadow.

Concubine Zhao Shu was so angry that she called Princess Duan in and cursed her. The emperor did not deal with Princess Duan, but Concubine Zhao punished Princess Duan and thought about her faults behind closed doors.

Princess Duan was made angry last night by Prince Duan for taking a concubine, and was scolded by her mother-in-law the next day. When she returned home, she vomited blood and fell ill.

On this day, Gu Mingshu slept until the sun was shining brightly before getting up. After hearing about the subsequent events in the palace intermittently, she had no consciousness of "everything was caused by me".

It wasn't until she received the invitation from the Song family in the afternoon that she vaguely remembered what kind of muddy waters she had stirred up yesterday.

"Miss, the Song family said that you are an immortal envoy and protector of the Dharma. If you go to the banquet, those people who used to look down on others will no longer dare to slander you behind your back!" Nuan Feng said with a smile.

"Why, someone has been looking down on me recently and slandering me?" Gu Mingshu asked, tilting her head.

Cui Wei wanted to say that those women were spreading rumors about Gu Mingshu's bad luck and being driven back from the Hua Chao event in the middle of the event. But Nuan Feng beat her to it and said, "It's still the same things as before, just Che Luulu. There are no new rumors."

Cui Wei immediately understood that Nuan Feng was afraid that the new sewage would dirty the young lady's ears, so she didn't say anything.

So he also helped to change the topic: "Nowadays, Miss Song is already a famous 'little fairy' in the capital, and the fact that she was inspired by the Flower God has spread throughout the streets. The Song family will hold a banquet at this time, which will indeed be very special.

It’s so exciting, miss, why don’t you go get some celestial energy too.”

Gu Mingshu stretched out and said, "I won't go. I'm not busy enough with the things in the house. How can I have time to go to this impromptu banquet? I don't save people just to gain glory."

Nuanfeng wanted to persuade her again, but Cuiwei pulled her sleeve and told her to stop talking.

When Nuanfeng thought about it, it was the same thing. When did the lady change her mind about something she had really decided?

Fortunately, Gu Mingshu's reputation has been gradually improving for a long time, and she doesn't care about the current limelight.

Therefore, the Song family’s post was rejected.

The Song family was probably really grateful to Gu Mingshu. After receiving the tactful refusal from the Hailing Palace, his family directly sent several carts of gifts and publicized her "protection" for Song Ningzhi.

Yun Qianxue was so cruel before that she had people spread the news about Gu Mingshu being "returned" by Hua Chaojie. The women took the money and worked very hard, spreading the gossip outside. Unexpectedly, she was beaten in less than a day.

Face.

This matter itself is actually not interesting, but because of this quick and severe slap in the face, people are talking about it. The fierce internal fighting in the back house of Hailing Prince's Mansion has also been seen by ordinary people as the tip of the iceberg.

Various rumors became more and more popular, and Gu Mingshu quickly found out the whole story even though she didn't bother to ask.

Without saying anything, she directly found the women who had been bribed and sold them off with great fanfare.

Not only was it sold, she also directly posted a notice on the outer wall of the palace, directly announcing the reasons why these five women were sold.

The crowd was excited, and they all gathered in front of the notice to eat fresh giant melons.

The notice didn't actually say anything, it just said that these five women were dissatisfied with the mistress's investigation into the kickbacks they received, and they were resentful and spread rumors to slander the mistress Yun Yun. Since there was a lot of speculation about this among the people, they simply dealt with it publicly to let everyone know the whole story.

, no more spreading rumors.

People have always heard about the grievances between wealthy and powerful families. According to rumors, it seems that no real owner has personally responded to such speculations.

Gu Mingshu was so open and bright, and everyone who ate the melons also had melon virtues. After eating the melons happily, they dispersed, and the rumors about the Hailing Palace disappeared.

In the palace, the old concubine was going to punish Gu Mingshu for this, but after Gu Mingshu's actions, the palace's reputation became much better than before, and she had no reason to punish her.

Yun Qianxue lost a few more generals, and was so angry that she couldn't even eat, and everyone was very haggard.

Gu Mingshu sold out people and filled the vacant positions with her own people. She became much more comfortable in doing things, and she felt refreshed and let Nuanfeng send Song Ningzhi a generous gift in return.

Although Nuanfeng was stingy, he also knew why he was giving this gift. When he wrote the gift list, it was rare that he didn't blame Gu Mingshu for being extravagant.

Not long after Nuanfeng sent out the gifts, Cuiwei came back and she also brought back a gift list for Gu Mingshu.

"Miss, this was sent from the drug store. The things are still on the carriage outside the door and have not been unloaded." Cui Wei said softly.

Gu Mingshu was happy when she saw it.

"Prince Duan's Mansion is very particular. The total gift list is more than two hundred taels, which is ten times what ordinary families pay for raising a concubine." Gu Mingshu flicked the list and then handed it back to Cui Wei, "You can send it to Lanyuan.

, Hong'er is her slave after all, and the money from the sale should be given to her."

Nuanfeng, who was waiting on the side, was very puzzled: "Miss, why? The things are given to us, so of course we are the ones to collect them."

Gu Mingshu smiled and said enigmatically: "I won't accept money from this kind of flesh-and-blood business. If you accept this kind of money, there will be consequences."

Nuanfeng didn't understand much, but when he heard that accepting money would bring evil consequences, he immediately stopped worrying and urged Cuiwei to leave quickly.

However, Gu Mingshu told Cui Wei: "By the way, you can ask the prince's people to evacuate from Lanyuan, and then the Ruan family's ban will be lifted. However, if she asks, just say that this is the prince's wish."

Cui Wei was startled: "What does the prince mean? Then she can't raise her tail to the sky?"

Gu Mingshu said: "If her tail doesn't rise to the sky, how can we catch her? Go ahead and do it!"

Ruan Meiniang was under house arrest for several days. Cui Wei suddenly came to announce that the prince had lifted her grounding order. She was very happy in her heart. But because it was Cui Wei who came to announce it, she was a little suspicious, fearing that it was Gu Mingshu's conspiracy.

Cuiwei then took out the silver and gift list and told her that Hong'er had been taken to Prince Duan's Mansion.
