Be Modest, My Master of Imperial Guards
Vol 3 Chapter 15: A trip to Yongning Palace
? Gu Yunyao allowed Zhao An to help him get up, put on a red fur, and sent it to the clean room of the side hall, where she was served by the maidservant to bathe and change clothes. +++All Tanmei novels: www.wuxiaspot.como
Zhao An asked for:
"Master, do you want to send someone to Concubine Xu in the ward? She is there. If she is willing to come forward for the master, the two sisters will always have a care when they go to Yongning Palace."
Gu Yunyao held the jade pearl hairpin in her hand, and shook her head after repeated considerations:
"No. Since Sister Xu has made good relations with this palace, this palace should not drag her to the muddy water at this time. In the past, she has spoken for the justice of the palace a few times because she has already offended the imperial concubine, so we shouldn't trouble her any more."
Seeing that Gu Yunyao had decided, Zhao An couldn't persuade him any more, and his expression was sullen and he sighed slightly.
Outside the palace, Zhao An served Gu Yunyao on the elm sedan chair and watched the honor guard go to Yongning Palace.
Usually the concubines of the harem gather only with the maid of the palace, and the chief **** is left behind in their own palace.
Zhao An stood alone in the middle of the empty palace road, concentrating for a moment, and Rin Mei turned back and walked fast on the opposite road.
Chuxiu Palace——
Concubine Xu woke up early in the morning groggy, and she knew she was greedy for a cup last night and drank too much chrysanthemum liqueur. During breakfast, he only drank half a bowl of jade white jade porridge, and then leaned lazily on the couch, unwilling to move.
As usual in the palace, on the second day after Double Ninth Festival, concubines should go to Kunning Palace
, Yongning Palace, please peace.
Early in the morning, someone reported that Concubine Wan Gui of Yongning Palace was unhappy and thanked the guests behind closed doors, which made Concubine Xu relieved.
After resting for a while, she changed clothes and took people to Kunning Palace to visit Queen Qian, and sent Gu Yunxi to Yongning Palace to send fresh fruits to express her condolences to Wan Yuyao.
Stepping out of the gate of Chuxiu Palace, Gu Yunxi walked forward, behind the two female envoys, a hand-held basket of vegetables and fruits and a tin shell container holding delicate pastries.
Gu Yunxi didn't sleep well last night, and Leng Qingtang was always thinking in the center of his mind.
He rescued her from the pursuit of the Forbidden Army, but was slurred at her.
The shock and distress on that beautiful and flawless face in the dark night condensed before her eyes like a freeze frame, and deeply penetrated her heart.
Gu Yunxi didn't intend to hurt the governor, but deliberately squeezed and tortured him with some cruel words. He definitely didn't know that he was not the only one who suffered from the pain of heart-wrenching at the time of those aggressive words!
Sleeping for a long time all night, Gu Yunxi looked tired when he woke up in the morning, and the dark blue under his small eyes was obvious. Now he is just trying hard to complete the master's dispatch.
Turning past the red wall, he met Zhao An head-on.
He walked in a hurry, seemingly thoughtful, his eyes startled and almost hit Gu Yunxi.
"Grandpa Zhao?"
Gu Yunxi opened his eyes in surprise, looking at the sweat on his forehead. Net o
At the moment when he saw Gu Yunxi, Zhao An's dark eyes lit up with burning brilliance, and his expression became embarrassed again.
"Yeah, Aunt Mu, our family is rude."
He erected the white whisk and apologized to Gu Yunxi.
Gu Yunxi smiled lightly, without any guilt:
"You walked in such a hurry, what's the matter for this?"
"Aunt Mu, can Xu Niangniang be in Chuxiu Palace now?"
Zhao Anrong looked anxious, and stepped forward nervously.
Gu Yunxi shook his head in confusion and answered:
"Niangniang has just gone to Kunning Palace. Today, it is time to greet the masters of the East and West Second Palaces. The emperor and noble concubine thanked the guests, and Xu Niangniang told me to send the fruit."
Zhao An looked dull after hearing this, and slammed his frustrated fist into the other palm.
Gu Yunxi is so strange:
"Duke Zhao, what's wrong with you?"
When Zhao An raised his head again, a red light appeared in the bottom of his eyes, half sad and half anxious:
"Where is the imperial concubine thanking the guest? She just told my master to ask questions just before, and I am afraid that she will do harm to her!"
"what?"
Gu Yunxi's complexion changed drastically instantly, his eyes dropped slightly, he flashed to no attention, and he muttered to himself:
"Yu Zhaoyi just regained her favor last night, and the Yongning Palace came in the morning. Who knows that there is a master who is used to being jealous..."
Zhao An became more irritable, pacing around a few times, her soft tone trembling fiercely:
"Our family originally wanted to turn to Xu Niangniang for help. My master refused and went to Yongning Palace alone. There is nothing in our family. We are afraid that the master will suffer a loss alone, so I ran out without authorization. Who knows Xu Niangniang? It's not in the palace either. How can this, this be good!"
Gu Yunxi's eyes grew sharper, he bit his teeth, and said in a decisive tone:
"Grandpa Zhao, don't worry, you immediately go to Kunning Palace to explain this to the Queen Empress. The slave and maidservant just went to Yongning Palace, and she will find ways to protect Master Yu."
"Looking for the queen? This..."
Zhao An twisted his eyebrows, only to feel that it was improper to rashly alarm the queen.
Gu Yunxi said: "I am in a hurry to follow the authority, and I can't manage too much. The father-in-law should do what the slave and maid said."
"But you..."
For a moment, Zhao An's pupils widened, and he was shocked by Gu Yunxi's aura.
The girl in front of me is only sixteen or seven years old, standing clearly in the sun, but with two clear eyes as dark as ink, her expression is quiet and calm and she carries a breathtaking coldness, like a Raksha from the underworld purgatory. Don't dare to look directly.
From the first day she met her, Zhao An felt a certain inexplicable feeling, always feeling that this girl was not an ordinary person. o Not only that, but her words and deeds resemble Gu Yunxi's long-lost sister.
Soon, Zhao An worried about her again.
In any case, she was only a fifth-rank palace maid, although she was a maid, she was ultimately humble compared to the harem concubines.
It is no longer easy to protect herself in the harsh and cruel palace. How can she protect Yu Zhaoyi?
Gu Yunxi and Zhao An think differently. The person who has repeatedly suffered calculations is his eldest sister. Although not personally, he grew up together and has a strong bond of blood.
Moreover, she has been cared for by her elder sister for ten years, how can she be framed by others now?
I can't manage that much, even if I tried everything this time, I had to protect my eldest sister and not let her suffer any more harm.
Five fingers pressed tightly between the sleeves, Gu Yunxi's expression was calm, and his eyes were cold.
Seeing Zhao An's worried expression on his face, Gu Yunxi encouraged:
"Grandpa Zhao, go to Kunning Palace, I will take people to Yongning Palace."
Zhao An's eyes were bright and he bowed and saluted:
"Our family is grateful for Aunt Laomu."
Gu Yunxi raised his hands and said, "No, let's split up."
Farewell to Zhao An, Gu Yunxi and his party hurried to Yongning Palace.
——
Just when Gu Yunxi and Zhao An were facing each other, Gu Yunyao's guard of honor had arrived outside Yongning Palace.
When the sedan chair descended, Gu Yunyao stood in front of the confined vermilion gate with some uncertainty. After the cool breeze of late autumn blew, her soft body couldn't help but shiver.
Song Qin stepped forward to buckle the door, and with the sound of "creaking", the heavy iron-clad door slowly opened a gap.
A servant hit the door and squeezed out a slender figure, saluted Gu Yunyao and then led the person into Yongning Palace.
"Oh, sister Yu is here."
Before Gu Yunyao entered the main hall, she was pulled by the oncoming concubine Ye, her slick ink rain flower brocade dress was full of glamour in the sun.
With Gu Yunyao saluting each other, Ye Fei's delicate makeup carried a smirk on her face, shedding cold and bitter hatred.
Gu Yunyao frowned faintly, but smiled plainly at Concubine Ye, saluting the **** of blessing, and her voice was shallow when she spoke:
"My younger sister has seen Sister Ye, but haven't seen her for many days. My younger sister is very worried."
Ye Fei climbed the Wan Yuyao faction, and she was never less than Xu Yuanjiao and Gu Yunyao.
Right now in Wan's Palace, she is kind to Gu Yunyao in every possible way, and has to make Gu Yunyao vigilant.
Ye Fei smiled and grabbed Gu Yunyao's bright wrist again and said:
"Who can say no? My sister has been sick for a long time, and my sister has always missed you in her heart. Today, the imperial concubine talks to us and waits for you. Come, let me see the empress."
The maid under the corridor picked a brocade curtain, and the two concubines stepped into the main hall hand in hand.
Every part of the palace of carved beams and painted buildings is decorated with luxury, with the fragrance of submerged water and light smoke. Sitting on the golden phoenix high back chair is the lord of Yongning Palace, the imperial concubine Wan Yuyao.
She wears a scarlet haze peony flying phoenix fairy dress, and the outer cover is the same color sleeveless gold silk pattern, and the phoenix crown is bright and bright on her hair.
Sitting on either side of the main seat were Chen Zhaoyi, Gu Yunjin, Dong Meiren, and the newly-entered Yang Cainv. They were all pretty and gorgeous.
The moment Gu Yunyao entered the hall, everyone's eyes fell on her. Seeing her light makeup, plain dress and elegant dress, it was true that there was nothing wrong with her.
Gu Yunyao has a delicate mind, knowing that Yongning Palace's behavior is not good, and deliberately dressing up to be concise and decent, so that those women who are good at jealousy can't find a cause for trouble.
In the next moment, someone in the seat raised his eyebrows in a sense of disappointment.
Gu Yunyao didn't dare to be rude and walked a few steps and bowed down in front of the main seat.
"Concubine Xiao Yexuan Zhaoyi Gu Yunyao pays homage to the imperial concubine, and wishes the empress woman a happy and peaceful life."
Wan Yuyao held a warm white jade tea cup, took a slow sip, and moved her eyes lazily.
Immediately, the cold light in his eyes burst, and it was completely blocked by the water vapor in the cup.
"Sister Yu, please. It was hard for you to serve the emperor last night. Give your seat quickly."
"Xie Niangniang's grace."
Gu Yunyao was steady and calm, got up and sat down on the rose chair.
Wan Yuyao set her teacup, looked sideways at Gu Yunyao, and saw that she was wearing a Xiang-color brocade dress with flowers, her face was elegant but she was so delicate, her cheeks were so bright that she was in the emperor's body last night. Li pupil suddenly shrank without realizing the gambling in his heart when he accepted the glamorous attitude of Huan.
The hateful woman is still pampered again after all——
Suppressing her anger, Wan Yuyao was still holding a calm and gentle manner, and gestured to a court lady beside her.
The court lady leaned behind and walked into the cabinet.
Wan Yuyao barely squeezed out a smile line, looked at Gu Yunyao and said:
"That year, Sister Yu was sick and recuperated, and it was not easy to receive the holy favor yesterday. The palace has prepared a gift for you to commend it. I hope that our sisters will share the same heart, and I wish my sister an early birth of a son and a half daughter, a royal family. Open branches and loose leaves."
Gu Yunyao was frightened, got up anxiously, nodded, and whispered softly:
"He De, concubine, how can he dare to receive such a gift from his mother?"
The gift Wan Yuyao gave was not so easy to use.
Concubine Ye saw him on the side, and Xiangpa covered her lips with a smile:
"Niangniang cherishes you, so naturally I have to accept the gift. I haven't received such love from Niangniang since I entered the palace."
Wan Yuyao gently pressed her lip line into a cold arc, and silently glanced at Ye Fei who was laughing freely.
At this time, the maidservant walked out of the cabinet and held a yellow brocade box in front of Gu Yunyao.
Gu Yunyao lowered her eyebrows to look, and a gilt filigree crested hairpin was lying on the red silk interlining. It is not difficult to guess its value just by looking at the dots of colorful treasures and dots.
Gu Yunyao's startled eyelashes abruptly raised, stood up from her seat, and worshipped her head upward:
"Thank you Niang Niang for her kindness, but my concubine has a Zhaoyi position, so I can't afford Jinfeng jewelry."
The harem is respectable and orderly, and the items used and worn by the concubines are strictly customized.
The golden phoenix ornaments are not available to the queen and the imperial concubine. It is indeed an arrogance to pick up this crested hairpin as Zhaoyi.
Gu Yunyao's drooping head gradually condensed in cold sweat, a pair of slender hands clasped tightly in her sleeves, and her heartbeat accelerated.
Sure enough, Yongning Palace's trip was extremely dangerous, and he should be extremely careful. If you relax your vigilance a little, you will be able to give someone a handle because you don't act properly.
Wan Yuyao's pair of peach blossom eyes quickly flashed a little disdain, her red lips turned up to make a three-point sneer, and she shook her head triumphantly. There were rice beads and tassels swaying:
"Sister Yu is too modest, my palace says you deserve it, you deserve it, and you just accept it if you are obedient."
As he spoke, his eyes turned slightly and fluttered to Ye Fei.
The woman immediately understood, she stood up and walked over, holding the crested hairpin in the brocade box, smiling brightly:
"Oh, how did Sister Yu get rid of it in every possible way? This hairpin is just a gilt filigree, it's not all gold or a phoenix. It's not a gift for my sister to accept it. Come, my sister will put it on for you, so don't hurt. The mother is right."
Pushing Gu Yunyao back to her seat and looking at her hair, Concubine Ye chose a suitable position and inserted the crested hairpin into the blue silk.
Taking a step back for a closer look, Concubine Ye smiled darkly and turned back to Wan Yuyao:
"Niangniang is really good-sighted, this hairpin is indeed the best match for Sister Yu."
Gu Yunyao felt tight when she heard the words, and stood up again to worship:
"Concubine Xie Niangniang loves her."
"Okay, sit down."
Wan Yuyao looked at the humble woman below with a narrow sheen in her eyes, and said with a sneer smile.
Without waiting for Gu Yunyao to sit down, Concubine Ye suddenly leaned forward and pushed her hand away, smiling with a cold and complicated smile:
"Yeah, why are there so many red marks on Sister Yu's neck? To say that our long live master is really good. Sister is in good shape, so I don't feel sorry for it..."
