Since Empress Yuanyi died of labor and had no master position in Dasheng’s harem, there is no need to pay any more respect.
But yesterday the Empress Dowager gave instructing him that now Concubine Jing is in charge of the harem and should go to pay tribute to Concubine Jing.
Gu Chang’an got up early this morning, afraid that he would be told if he would go too late. Qiaoyue picked out a not-excellent dress for Gu Chang’an, and she also knew about the Mid-Autumn Festival, for fear that Concubine Jing would take the blame if she saw it.
After finishing his makeup, Gu Chang’an prepared to get up and go out to pay homage to the head concubine Jing, the Xianfu Palace.
Qiaoyue hurriedly came forward to help her. Gu Changan was about to take Qiaoyue’s hand out, but he caught a glimpse of Rong Yu taking a step back reluctantly, as if he looked down on him. Gu Changan pushed Qiaoyue’s hand, but turned to Qiaoyue Qiaozhu and said, “You stay and pack up, and let Rongyu lead me to pay tribute to Concubine Jing.” Qiaoyue responded and took Qiaozhu back into the flower hall.
Gu Chang’an took Rong Yu to Xianfu Palace. There were only two masters and servants on the palace road. Gu Chang’an didn’t look at her and said, “Who will Concubine Jing from Xianfu Palace have a good relationship with? Will there be any concubines from any palace? Tell me first, don’t make any mistakes in the rules later.”
Rong Yu was out of tune all the way, and didn’t know what he was thinking about. After hearing Gu Chang’an’s words, he suddenly felt regretful and said, “If you say that you have a good relationship, you should be Concubine Shu, the head of the Western Six Palaces. There is no master in the harem. This is not a formal visit by the whole palace. The little master does not need to panic.” Gu Chang’an turned his head and looked at her. After she replied, she lowered her head and looked at the road in front of her, as if she was in deep thought again.
Fortunately, Xianfu Palace was not far away, and in a moment he walked. Seeing the quietness of the Xianfu Palace, he asked, “Who lives in Xianfu Palace?”
Rongyu supported Gu Chang’an and replied respectfully: “There is only Empress Jing, there is no one around. Empress Jing is the prime minister’s real sister, no more than others.”
Xianfu Palace is the second-ranked palace among the East Six Palaces, and is very close to the emperor’s palace, but the emperor also came four or five times a month because of the Empress Dowager’s face.
In theory, Concubine Jing was the only concubine in the harem and the only girl of Prime Minister Sun. The Empress Dowager looked at the court and looked at the court. Thinking of this, Gu Chang’an couldn’t help but ask, “Why didn’t Concubine Jing go to the palace of the first place in the East Six Palaces? How could it be in this second palace?”
Rong Yu lowered her head and replied, “I don’t know either, I only know that Concubine Jing had been living in the main hall of Xianfu Palace as soon as she entered the palace.”
Gu Chang’an asked along the way, and Rong Yu replied without saying much.
Gu Changan saw that Rong Yu had always looked lost in his mind for the past two days, and was suspicious, but he didn’t ask, but just secretly remembered it.
When he arrived at the gate of Xianfu Palace, Rong Yu stuffed a purse to the palace maid in front of the door and invited someone to go to the hall to send a message.Gu Chang’an stood outside the palace gate and waited. The palace servant who entered came out for half a cup of tea and said that Concubine Jing was talking to Concubine Shu, and it was not easy to bother him. He asked her to go to the main hall here.
Gu Chang’an stepped across the high threshold of Xianfu Palace and looked at the main hall with nine corridors, and couldn’t help but sigh at the huge gap in position.
Gu Chang’an followed the palace maid to the main hall of Xianfu Palace. As soon as he stepped over the last stairs, he heard a very pleasant voice floating over: “She is accustomed to making trouble for your sister with a domineering look, but Huihui’er always acts like a spoiled person when she sees the emperor, but our emperor doesn’t like her, and it’s really a joke. Now he’s becoming more and more dishonest, and he dares to tremble smartly under our noses.”
Gu Chang’an hesitated whether to go in or wait here in person.
The palace maid did not look back, but still walked in. Gu took Rongyu and slowed down, leaving the palace maid a few steps behind. Another voice sounded in the main hall, and said softly, “Sister, please whisper, let the new nobles hear what they are like!”
After hearing the words fell, she walked outside the main hall, led the little palace maid from Gu Chang’an to the outside of the main hall and stopped, and said respectfully, “Empress, Gu Guiren from the east side hall of Yonghe Palace is here.”
Gu Chang’an bent his knees outside, folded his hands in front of him, and said respectfully, “I’m paying homage to the two empresses.”
Gu Changan lowered his eyebrows, but he didn’t dare to look around, and only stared at the embroidered shoes. He heard a lazy voice from the hall, “This aunt who teaches the rules is not responsible, it’s hard for the empress to scream casually. I’m here to reply for Concubine Jing, you get up.” After hearing this, Gu Changan felt a stern, and then raised his head and stood up.
The speaker sat lazily in the head of the main seat, holding a teacup in one hand. Her eyebrows looked very delicate, but these phoenix eyes added a bit of sharpness and meanness to her. Since she could speak like this, she would definitely be the Concubine Shu.
Gu Chang’an felt a stern and blamed himself for forgetting that Concubine Shu was also in the hall. Thinking of it, there was a look of panic and helpless expression on his face, his voice was gentle, and he said with a blessed body: “I am stupid, thank you for your advice.”
Concubine Shu snorted lightly, and took a few sips with her teacup, and stopped talking to Gu Chang’an.
“What are you doing when you stand outside the hall? Why don’t you welcome the new nobles in!” Concubine Jing sat upright and spoke happily.
The palace maid who led Gu Chang’an to the main hall was not the one whom Concubine Jing was close to serve him. She just finished replying and then stepped down.
Gu Changan saw that the palace maid who came over to put the curtains on her for her was more refined than the previous little palace maid’s uniform, so he knew that he was the person around Concubine Jing.
Rongyu held Gu Chang’an and slowly walked into the hall. Only then did she see clearly that among the concubines in the palace, the most noble ones, were now the concubines.The appearance of Concubine Jing.
Concubine Jing comes from the Sun family, with her name on the boudoir, and her name is Yu. She has a pair of almond eyes, which makes her eyebrows look like cream. She is suitable for frowning and smiling, and all exudes an extraordinary temperament. On the other hand, Shu Guipin had curved eyebrows and eyes, which made people feel relieved when they saw it. This title was very good for her.
Su Ruoxi, Shu Guipin Su Ruoxi, is not the kind of woman who is very beautiful, but it feels very comfortable to see it. Gu Chang’an felt that it was very rare to be able to produce this appearance.
Concubine Jing was still as dignified as before, but her behavior was very different from that of Mid-Autumn night. When she saw Gu Chang’an coming in, she waved to her and said, “Come and sit here quickly, Concubine Shu is teasing you.”
After she said that, Gu Chang’an hesitated for a moment, thanked her slowly, and then sued her for sitting down, saying, “I forgot it for a while.”
