Chapter 190: Go to the palace for a banquet

A banquet in the palace.
Early in the morning, Gu Jiu came to Ermen, ready to set off.
Xie's came too, and he was full of energy.
She glanced at Gu Jiu with a sharp look in her eyes.
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled. Has Xie recovered so quickly?
The arrival of Xie's made many people feel surprised.
The eldest wife Zhang ridiculed: "The younger brother and sister are not sick? What do people say that the younger brother and sister are sick and can't go to the palace today."
Xie's smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. My illness comes and goes quickly."
"Oh!"
The eldest wife Zhang's expression was meaningful, "Since the younger siblings are not ill, let's get in the carriage and set off. I'd rather go early than late."
"Sister-in-law said that."
Everyone got on the carriage, left the second door, met with the men in the palace, and went to the palace.
The banquet of the palace this time invited everyone in the palace.
Everyone is thinking, to save Gu Jiu's face and support the scene. Ever since, everyone who is free today has come.
Even Gu Ling ran back from the barracks.
Gu Yu rode a horse and followed outside of Gu Jiu's carriage.
He took a chance to talk to Gu Jiu.
"Sister, when I get to the palace, I will stare at the edict for you to see what kind of person he is. If he is a jerk, I will beat him up."
Gu Jiu helped his forehead, looking at the sky speechlessly.
My silly brother, how are you the opponent of the emperor grandson who received the best education in the world, let alone the treacherous Liu Zhao.
Gu Jiusheng was afraid that Gu Yu would suffer, so he had to tell him a few words, "Brother, you must not mess around, let alone use force to do it. That is the palace, not a relative's house. If you do it, things will not be good." Now, maybe it will shock the emperor."
Gu Ling was stunned secretly, and even shocked the emperor.
"If that's the case, then I won't do it. I will stare at him and watch what he says and do. If he is not good, I will tell you that you will guard him in the future."
Gu Jiu smiled sweetly, "Thank you, brother. Is your brother used to being in the barracks?"
Gu Yu only returned home last night, and Gu Jiu had no chance to speak with Gu Yu before this.
Gu Ling grinned and patted his chest, "Sister, look at me, am I stronger? Sure enough, joining the army is my home. If I knew I should have been in the army a few years earlier, my sister wouldn't have to worry about me all day long."
Immediately afterwards, Gu Ling shook his head again and said, "No, I can't join the army a few years earlier. In the past few years, my sister was in poor health and there was no caring person around. If I were not in the house, you would be bullied by them. What's it like. I joined the army this year, and the time is just right. Now I am not worried about my sister being bullied."
Gu Jiu's heart was moved, watching Gu Yu's eyes flashed with the brightest light.
"I know my brother loves me the most. You work hard in the barracks and strive to make some achievements. I will check it for you at night and prepare a few medicine packets for you, which can help you soothe your body and make your body recover faster."
Gu Yu was overjoyed, "Is there really such a pill pack? My sister will give me more. Now I am also a silver earner. If your money is not enough, I will make up for it."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Hurry up and collect your money. Have you forgotten the second strong?"
Gu Yu later realized that his sister was the owner of good money, and was much richer than him.
He chuckled, "Then I'm not welcome, it will cost my sister the expense."
"It's okay! I'm happy to spend money for my brother."
Hearing this, Gu Ling smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and his heart was broken. No one's sister is as capable, beautiful, and considerate as his sister.
Gongzizhao had a vision and was able to pick his sister.
Therefore, he has to keep his eyes wide open and look closely at Young Master Zhao for Gu Jiu.
If this person is not good, even if you can't do anything in the palace, you will have to find a chance to beat the son in the future.
The big deal is over, he will go to the northwest to fight.
The palace is near.
Many carriages stopped at the door.
Gu Yu ran to the door and asked about the situation, then returned to the carriage that Gu Jiu was riding in and said, "There is a traffic jam. There are too many people who come to the palace for the banquet today, and many royal family members are here. Have you received a banquet from the palace?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "The Hou Mansion did not receive a banquet."
When Prince Ning's mansion made a post, he was very measured. Knowing that these nobles will not appreciate the face, I didn't ask myself to invite them to posts.
The nobles are avoiding suspicion, and Prince Ning's Mansion will not take the initiative to make trouble for himself, which will attract the emperor's suspicion.
Even without the honors and honors, the banquet at Prince Ning's Palace is still like a cloud of guests.
Gu Jiu raised the curtain and glanced at the gate of the palace. Looking at the emblem on the carriage, it is very strange.
Qingmei said softly: "Prince Ning's banquet, so many people have come. Princess Ning shouldn't embarrass the girl."
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Don't think of the royal family too kindly. Do you know who is the most unruly person in the world?"
Ome tried to answer: "Prisoner?"
Gu Jiu shook his head.
Qingzhu tried to answer: "A soldier?"
Gu Jiu still shook his head.
The two maids shook their heads together, "The maidservant can't guess it."
Gu Jiu pointed to the gate of the palace, "It's those people. The talents of the royal family are the most unruly people in the world.
We often say that fathers are kind and filial, brothers and friends are respectful, family is harmonious, and murder is illegal. This is just a joke in the royal family.
People in the royal family started to be ruthless. The so-called father and son, brothers, and human relations are all displayed, and killing brothers and fathers is also a leisure.
Most of the emperors who have left a name in history have stepped on the corpses of their blood relatives to sit in that position. "
Seeing that the two maids were calmed by her own words, Gu Jiu smiled softly, "So, don't have too good expectations for Princess Ning. It's better to speculate on her with the greatest malice, and you can deal with it calmly."
Both Qingmei and Qingzhu looked nervous, apparently frightened by Gu Jiu's words.
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "What are you afraid of? I just said that speculating about Princess Ning with the greatest malice does not mean that Princess Ning is really that unbearable."
"The slave servant will panic in my heart." Qingmei said with a heartbeat.
Qing Zhu also nodded, and she was also panicked.
Gu Jiu raised his hand and squeezed the cheeks of the two maids, "I didn't panic, what are you panicking. When I arrived at the palace, watch me wink and act."
The carriage finally moved, entered the palace from the side door, and got off at Ermen.
The women greeted them, and heard that they were from the Gu Mansion, they couldn't help but look at all the girls in the Gu Mansion, guessing which one is Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu is prominent among the crowd, not only because of her height and appearance, but also because of her overall style.
The women nodded secretly, saying that regardless of family background, this girl Gu Jiu's bearing is still very good.
The wives took the female relatives of Gu's house to Chunhetang.
"The princess and the empress will be talking with Princess Zhao, Princess Yan and all the princes and concubines in the main hall. You are here just right."
When the eldest wife Zhang heard this, she immediately became energetic, ready to deal with the tough battle for a while.
Xie's heart was a little flustered, all the princesses were there. If they didn't deal with it well, they would not only make jokes, but also offend others.
She pressed her lips tightly, her expression extremely serious.
She glanced at Gu Jiu, her mood complicated.
The dignified mansion, even she is frightened, can Gu Jiu manage to get married? Don't lose your face in the end, but also lose Gu's face.
After passing through the corridors, we finally arrived at Chunhetang.
Before entering the door, he heard bursts of laughter from the main hall.
The maid came in to report.
Mrs. Zhang took the opportunity to remind Gu Jiu.
"Xiao Jiu, after seeing the princess, do everything according to the rules, don't be afraid."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Thank you for reminding me, I understand."
The eldest wife Zhang also reminded Gu Yue and others to talk as little as possible, and don't talk if you can.
Gu Yue put on an expressionless face. She hasn't said a word since she left the house today.
Everyone didn't understand what Gu Yue was doing. How could he suddenly become a saw-mouthed gourd, which was very strange.
Xie couldn't worry about his own affairs, so naturally there was no time to care about Gu Yue. Only when Gu Yue grew up and became sensible.
The maid came out, "The princess and empress, please come in."
"Thank you!"
The eldest wife Zhang personally gave a purse to the maid.
The maid received her purse, nodded and smiled, but refused to say a word.
Everyone cheered up and walked into the main hall.
The main hall was full of people, all dressed up in colorful, incredibly rich.
Seeing Gu's family members entering the door, everyone couldn't help looking at them, searching for Gu Jiu in the crowd.
The eldest wife Zhang took the lead and led everyone to meet with Princess Ning.
"Free! Who is Gu Jiu?"
Princess Ning Pei is direct enough, without a word of greeting, straight to the point. Of course, she is also qualified to speak so directly.
Gu Jiu came out more and more, standing in the forefront, "Gu Jiu, the courtier, see the princess and empress."
Princess Ning's face was expressionless, and Pei said coldly: "Look up and let the princess have a look."
Gu Jiu slowly raised his head and took the opportunity to look at Princess Ning Pei.
The oval face, fair complexion, well maintained, looks like he is in his thirties.
Gu Jiu was not afraid of Princess Ning. Compared with the queen empress who has passed away, Princess Ning is a bit different in all aspects.
Gu Jiu didn't worry that Princess Ning would kill her if she was upset. Therefore, she can be more calm.
Concubine Ning Pei said with a faint expression: "You look pretty good, it's no wonder that Zhao'er can see you. I heard that you are studying in the school hall of the Hou Mansion. Are you a disciple of Mr. Luo?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Return to the princess and empress, the courtiers are studying with Mr. Luo."
"How is the book reading?" Princess Ning picked up the tea cup, blew two breaths, and took a sip.
Gu Jiu bowed his head and replied, "I dare not live up to Mr. Luo's teachings. I have been working hard to study."
Princess Ning Pei put down the tea cup and smiled softly, "Do you think it's useful to read so many books at the girl's house?"
Is this teaching her?
Gu Jiu thought about it and said: "There are golden houses in the book, as well as the ethics of general principles, the instructions of the saints, the foundation of being a person, and the principle of being a person in the world. Therefore, the minister thinks that reading is useful."
Princess Ning Pei smiled, "Of course it is useful to read books, this is not necessary for you to teach the princess. This princess is asking the girl's home is it useful to read? For example, you read so many books and still follow Mr. Luo Xuan to study, is it useful? "
Gu Jiu raised his head and slowly said, "If it weren't for studying, the courtier would not be able to stand here to answer the questions of the mother today. Therefore, reading at the girl's house is also useful."
"You are very confident, and you are not afraid of this princess."
"The mother is kind, why should the ministers be afraid?"
All the royal ladies present laughed.
"This girl named Gu Jiu, I look pretty good." Princess Zhao covered her lips and smiled, "It's a pity that this girl let Liu Zhao get on the ground first. Congratulations to my younger brother and sister for having such a good daughter-in-law."
Gu Jiu remained silent, observing the situation in the main hall calmly.
At the same time, the eldest wife Zhang and the others stood behind Gu Jiu, their hearts raised. They are all nervous for Gu Jiu.
Princess Ning Pei smiled, the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
She said to Princess Zhao: "You can't be regarded as a daughter-in-law if you haven't even entered the door. On the contrary, there are several daughter-in-laws from the sister-in-law's house, all of whom are generous and intelligent, which is enviable.
Princess Zhao said with a smile: "We just flattered each other. Brother and sister, are you satisfied with Gu Jiu?"
How could Princess Ning Pei easily jump into the pit that Princess Zhao dug.
She smiled and said, "As long as Zhao'er likes it, I naturally like it."
"It's really rare. My younger siblings and Zhao'er would actually like the same person." Princess Zhao giggled.
Concubine Ning Pei's eyes instantly cold, and he stared at Gu Jiu with an unkind expression.
Then he smiled and said: "Sister-in-law is really good at joking."
Sparks flashed in the eyes of both of them, but they all smiled on their faces, and they looked like they were very emotional.
After laughing, Princess Pei of Ning introduced the royal ladies present to Gu Jiu.
At the same time, the family members of the Gu family were invited to take a seat in the side hall.
Gu Jiu met all the royal ladies, and everything followed the rules, and there was no mistake.
Princess Ning Pei said: "I have learned the rules in the palace for a few days, and it is still useful. I have never lost my face."
Gu Jiu smiled, bowed and said, "It's all the mothers who taught me well."
"Ok!"
Princess Ning Pei's expression was faint, "You can withdraw first."
"Yes."
Gu Jiu followed the maid to the side hall.
The eldest wife Zhang hurriedly asked: "How?"
Gu Jiu smiled and nodded, "Tired aunt is worried, everything is fine."
At this time, another maid came to lead the way and led everyone to the Flower Hall.
When he arrived at the Flower Hall, Gu Jiu saw Pei Yun.
Gu Jiu hesitated for a moment, and finally walked towards Pei Yun calmly.
"Sister Pei, I haven't seen you for a long time, Sister Pei has gone down."
Pei Yun looked at Gu Jiu with a complicated expression.
Gu Jiu looked calm and faced Pei Yun's gaze.
Pei Yun suddenly laughed, "Compared with Sister Xiao Jiu, I am inferior. I was careful just now."
"Sister Pei does not blame me, I am very happy."
Gu Jiu said sincerely.
Pei Yun smiled bitterly, "When I heard that you were accused of marrying Cousin Zhao, and not to hide from Sister Xiao Jiu, I did feel a little uncomfortable."
Gu Jiu nodded, "I know. This marriage was an accident to me, I didn't..."
Pei Yun shook her head and said: "Sister Xiao Jiu, I understand it. Your majesty personally ordered the marriage, this is not something you and I can control.
And when I returned to Beijing from the northwest, I actually gave up my cousin Zhao and accepted my father's arrangement.
Therefore, sister Xiaojiu must not feel any guilt, and there is nothing between cousin Zhao and I. Don't get me wrong. "
Gu Jiu laughed and nodded emphatically, "Let's not misunderstand each other. Sister Pei, we will still be friends in the future, would you please?"
Pei Yun also laughed, "I'm very happy to be friends with Sister Xiao Jiu. I just didn't expect the fate to be so wonderful, I have to call you cousin in the future."
Gu Jiu waved his hand again and again, "Don't call my cousin. We are different, I still call you sister Pei, you still call me sister Xiao Jiu, okay?"
Pei Yun laughed, "I can't ask for it. When I think of calling your cousin, I feel that the relationship is no longer close, it seems to be a lot of distance."
The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling that the relationship has become closer again.
At this time, another girl came to the flower hall.
The girl was surrounded by many maids and women, who were extremely pompous.
Gu Jiu glanced curiously, she was still guessing the identity of the other party, and Pei Yun first solved her confusion.
"That's Princess Fuming's eldest daughter named Zhou Yi. She... Sister Xiao Jiu, be careful for a while, better avoid her."
Gu Jiu looked at Pei Yun, "Sister Pei suffered a loss under her hands?"
Pei Yun smiled bitterly, "I have indeed suffered. Princess Fuming is your majesty's favorite daughter, and Zhou Yi is naturally your favorite granddaughter. Sister Xiao Jiu should now know why her pomp is so big."
"Finally I got it. Thank you Sister Pei for telling the truth."
"It should be."
Snapped!
There was a sudden applause in the flower hall, I don't know whose face the slap hit.
Gu Jiu followed the sound, surprised and surprised.
As soon as Zhou Yi entered the flower hall, she slapped Gu Yue first.
Gu Yue covered her face with a dazed expression. I have no idea what happened.
Gu Yue was silent for a day, this would be beaten, how could he be silent.
"you……"
