When Shou Sui arrived, everyone dispersed.

Back in the room, after sleeping for less than an hour, they all hurriedly got up again.

Washing up, dressing up, changing clothes, rushing to the second gate to get on the carriage, and going out to join the people from the Hou's mansion.

The old lady Wei opened the carriage door, looked at the people in the Gu residence, and asked, Is everyone here?

The eldest Mrs. Zhang nodded, Report to the old lady, everyone is here.

Have the children learned the rules?

Don't worry, old lady, the children have followed Mammy these days, and they have learned the palace rules down-to-earth, and they are guaranteed not to make mistakes when they enter the palace.

The old lady Wei Shi nodded: Since everyone has arrived, let's go.

The carriage drove steadily towards the palace gate.

It snowed yesterday, and there was a thin layer of snow on the ground.

The carriage ran over, making a creaking sound.

In front of the Golden Light Gate of the Imperial City, the carriages have been arranged in order of grade.

The old lady Wei Shi is a super lady, and she should be at the top of the line with the people of the Houfu.

When the two families separated, the old lady Wei told Mrs Zhang and Mrs Xie, Enter the palace, follow the rules and watch the children.

My niece listens to the old lady.

The people from Hou Mansion went to the front, while Gu Mansion's carriage stopped behind Lao.

There are not many other things in the capital, that is, there are many officials, and there are many nobles like dogs.

The third-rank official life is really not enough to see in the capital, so naturally it can only be ranked at the back.

Mr. Xie stretched his neck and looked towards the palace gate.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, knocked on the carriage and reminded: Don't look at the second brother and sister, it will take an hour before the palace gate will open. If you are sleepy, just squint on the carriage for a while. After entering the palace, after a day, everyone will Exhausted.

Mrs Xie looked at Mrs Zhang through the car window and asked in a low voice, Since the palace gate is only opened after an hour, why did everyone come so early?

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, said: This is the rule. Look at how many carriages are parked at the gate of the palace? If you don't come earlier and line up, wouldn't it be chaotic for a while. There are more people at Mingdemen, court officials, clansmen The royal family, all lined up at Mingde Gate.

The weather was freezing cold, and Xie Shi couldn't help shivering.

Mrs. Zhang added: Don't be nervous, younger brothers and sisters, like our sample-level Mrs. Gao Ming, they all stand far away and follow everyone to congratulate the Empress. Normally, there is no chance to show your face. opportunity, but also to ensure a safe passage through today.”

As soon as Mr. Xie heard this, he asked, Could it be that there are people who are in trouble every year?

Mrs Zhang nodded, That's natural. So my younger brothers and sisters follow the rules, and generally everything will be fine.

Xie's heart was beating suddenly, a little uneasy. She looked towards the carriage behind.

Mr. Zhang followed Mr. Xie's gaze, and it turned out that Mrs. Xie was looking at the carriage that Gu Yue was riding.

That's right, Gu Yue was making a fuss among the three direct-born girls.

Originally, Mrs. Xie didn't want to bring Gu Yue into the palace, but she was worried that Gu Yue would make a riot in the palace, and the New Year's riot would be a mess.

The first time he entered the palace to greet him, Mrs Xie thought about it, and brought Gu Yue out to see the world.

In a few months, Gu Yue will be married to the Haixi Bo Mansion. If he has never even been to the palace gate, he will be quite ignorant.

Gu Yue grabbed the handkerchief, nervous and excited. She has long planned, and she must perform well today, so that everyone in the world will know that she is a very well-behaved girl.

Gu Jiu was sitting in the carriage, dozing off.

According to the palace rules, only one maid can be brought into the palace. Gu Jiu named Qingmei's name.

Qingmei looked out of the carriage, and there were lanterns hanging on the carriages, and they were lined up in a row, which looked extremely spectacular.

Outside the lights, it was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.

She muttered, I don't know when I can enter the palace.

Gu Jiu slept soundly and was about to enter the palace, which did not affect her at all.

Qingmei smiled secretly, The girl has a really big heart.

Gu Jiu tilted his head and fell down.

Qingmei quickly supported her, Girl, you can sleep well if you want to, and don't lie on the ground. After a while, your hair will be messed up and your clothes will be wrinkled.

Gu Jiu muttered, smacked his lips, and continued to doze off again.

The waiting time always passes slowly.

It felt like a long, long time before the palace gate slowly opened.

Everyone got off the carriage one by one, preparing to line up to enter the imperial city.

Qingmei saw the movement in front of her and quickly woke Gu Jiu up.

Girl, wake up, go in.

Gu Jiu woke up suddenly, blinked, and asked, The palace gate is open?

Qingmei nodded, wiped the corners of Gu Jiu's eyes with a wet towel, and arranged Gu Jiu's robes and headgear.

The girl is so beautiful.

Gu Jiu didn't care at all, In this case, it doesn't matter whether you are beautiful or not.

Gu Jiu jumped out of the carriage neatly, scaring Qingmei to death.

She whispered in Gu Jiu's ear: Girl, you should be careful. This is at the gate of the palace, and all the wives and wives are watching. And if the girl sprains her foot, what should I do?

Perhaps one of the wives was Gu Jiu's future mother-in-law. Let the future mother-in-law see Gu Jiu's dignified side, how could it be.

Don't worry, no one will notice me.

Mrs. Zhang, the eldest wife, said in a low voice, Come here. You are all behind me. Don't look around, don't talk nonsense, and keep your head down. Try to eat and drink as little as possible. It's best not to eat or drink, so as not to be in a hurry. Do you understand? ?

Understood.

Mrs Zhang asked Mrs Xie again, brother and sister, how are you? Are you alright?

Xie Shi was so nervous that her palms were sweating, but she kept holding on, I'm fine, thank you for your concern.

It's fine.

The team moved, and everyone moved forward.

At the palace gate, hand over the waist card. The inner servant checked the waist badges and confirmed that the number of identities was correct, and then let everyone enter the palace gate.

Entering the palace gate is like entering another world.

No one spoke, everyone behaved in a well-behaved manner, lined up to follow the servants, passed through the palace gates one after another, and finally came to the side hall of Weiyang Palace to wait.

In the side hall, all are three or four rank noble ladies.

The first and second grades ordered the lady to be in the side hall next door.

Mrs. Chaopin and the royal family were waiting in the side hall.

The side hall was full of people, Gu Jiu glanced at it, I was afraid there were no less than two or three hundred people.

The huge side hall was crowded with people, and there was no sound at all.

Not only did no one speak, but everyone seemed to have stopped breathing.

On such occasions, it would be a lie to say that you are not nervous.

Fortunately, Gu Jiu was very good at regulating his emotions, so he was quite comfortable.

Both Gu Yue and Gu Shan were so nervous that their hands were shaking, and they felt like they wanted to go to the toilet. Unable to speak out.

Seeing that the two of them were so nervous, Mrs. Zhang whispered, I'm really nervous, so I just counted in my heart. After counting, I'm not so nervous anymore.

Gu Shan bit her lip, My niece listens to my aunt.

Gu Yue grabbed the armrest of the chair, Mother, daughter...

Xie Shi looked at Gu Yue with cold eyes, Listen to your aunt's words, don't make a fuss.

At this moment, Mrs Xie had already begun to regret bringing Gu Yue into the palace.

Gu Yue was so wronged. It was like this every time, before she finished speaking, her mother interrupted her.

Gu Yue has a small temper, but she also knows that this is the palace, not a place where she can be presumptuous. She could only grieve herself and hold back.

Zhang Shi looked at Gu Jiu, Is Xiao Jiu nervous?

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, Thank you auntie for your concern, I'm fine.

Zhang Shi was relieved, If you have anything, just say it.

Well, I listen to my aunt.

Gu Jiu has his own way of entertainment.

In order not to attract the attention of others, she observed the person sitting across from the corner of her eye.

According to their dress, appearance, try to describe their character traits.

It doesn't matter whether it's accurate or not, the key is this, time flies fast.

I felt like I didn't analyze a few people, and there was movement outside.

I don't know who said, The queen is up.

In the side hall, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The Empress is up, and it is estimated that in another hour, she will be able to go to the main hall to greet her.

I don't know whose little girl, perhaps because she was too nervous, suddenly fainted.

Gu Jiu was about to walk over subconsciously. He just lifted his feet before he woke up. This is the palace, so don't mess around.

The raised foot was retracted, and no one noticed.

A palace maid came in to check the situation, and when she saw the little girl fainted, she carried the person away.

The little girl's mother was angry and annoyed, and she couldn't have a seizure. You can only go out of the side hall with the palace maid.

When Xie Shi saw this scene, his heartbeat was abnormally fast.

She whispered to Mrs Zhang, Can that lady come back?

Mrs. Zhang said: If it can be repaired before Chaoga, I can still come back. It's just that the little girl suffers. Later, when I say kiss, someone will bring it up. I'm afraid I won't be able to marry into a high school. Can marry low.

The latter sentence, Zhang Shi did not say. She was afraid of scaring Xie Shi and Gu Shan and Gu Jiu.

As for Gu Yue's appointment, it doesn't really matter.

Time flies so slowly.

It's everyone's idea.

But even so, everyone has to endure and hold back.

The sky is getting brighter, and the first day of the new year kicks off.

The ground dragon was burning in the side hall, and it was warm, but it didn't feel cold.

It's just that time is hard, and many people move their bodies quietly and change to a more comfortable posture.

There was movement outside.

A servant entered the side hall and said, The lady just came back from the Taiji Palace to receive the greetings from all the officials. Ladies, please get ready and follow me to the main hall to congratulate the queen.

Someone apparently knew this servant and said aloud, Thank you, Changshi Wang.

You're welcome, ma'am.

The inner servant who was called Wang Changshi left the side hall and was busy.

Mrs. Zhang reminded everyone, All cheer up. When the congratulations from the next hall are over, it will be our turn.

Gu Yue said pitifully, Auntie, niece is nervous.

Zhang Shi smiled and said to her, Don't be afraid. It will be over soon.

Gu Yue nodded, still looking aggrieved.

Seeing this, Mrs Xie frowned, and whispered, Who do you want to show this look? Could it be that you are wronged when you go to the palace to congratulate you? What will the palace people think when they see you? What if they think you are right? The Empress is disrespectful, have you thought about the consequences? You don’t stop when you arrive in the palace, are you afraid that you won’t be able to implicate the entire Gu family?”

Gu Yue was stunned, opened her mouth, and finally remained silent.

Mrs. Zhang also reminded her, Hurry up and put away your expressions, how did Mammy teach you? You must be respectful! Don't think it doesn't matter how you do it. There are so many people here and everyone sees it, if it spreads out, you can't eat it. Walk around.

Gu Yue whispered, I see.

She didn't dare to be wronged again, and she didn't dare to make a pitiful expression. She imitated Gu Shan's appearance and tried her best to show a respectful appearance.

Time passed by and it was finally their turn.

Gu Jiu followed behind Mrs Zhang, walked out of the side hall with low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, and went to the main hall to greet her.

When I came before, it was so dark that I could not see my fingers. Can't see anything.

The sky will be bright, and Lu Zhan looks around from the corner of his eyes. This Weiyang Palace is very big, but it looks a little simple and a little depressing.

The snow on the ground has already been swept away, and there is no residue left.

Everyone followed the command of the chamberlain, walked into the main hall, and stood up one by one. Then, following the instructions of the chamberlain, congratulate the Empress on the New Year.

Cough cough...

In front of the hall, there was a burst of coughing, which was piercing.

However, no one raised their heads and glanced at the front of the hall.

It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare, and I can't.

Gu Jiu lowered her head, no surprise, this cough must be the Empress.

She listened to the coughing sound, and the Empress's body was not healthy.

I am afraid that the rumors from the outside world are correct, and the empress's time is coming. To be able to survive until the New Year, I have to say that I have done my best.

The coughing finally stopped, and there was a slight movement from above.

After a while, I heard the Empress say, No gift!

This no-salutation sounded weak, but it was full of momentum. She deserves to be the empress who has presided over the harem for decades.

Even when the fuel is exhausted, it can still shock people's hearts, making all the careerists feel fearful and dare not jump out and jump around easily.

After the congratulations, everyone came to the side hall with the servants.

No matter how big the main hall is, the number of people it can accommodate is limited.

In the side hall, the voice from the main hall can also be heard.

The Queen Empress is talking and chatting with the royal family and the Chaopin ladies.

Listening to everyone's laughter, the atmosphere seems to be very good.

Gu Jiu thought it was all right, and after the Empress finished speaking, she went directly to the palace banquet.

Unexpectedly, a palace maid hurried to the side hall and asked loudly, Where is Mrs. Gu in the residence of the general of the town army?

Xie Shi was still in a stunned state. When the palace maid said about the town's general's residence, she really didn't react at that moment.

It was Mr. Zhang who responded quickly and stood up in a hurry, Here.

The palace maid glanced at her family and said, Your Majesty summons, please come with me.

Mrs. Zhang pinched Mrs. Xie, Brother and sister, what are you still doing, hurry up. Xiaojiu, you three sisters are following me, you must be careful.

Gu Jiu nodded, Don't worry, auntie.

Xie Shi hurriedly stood up, too panicked.

Sister-in-law, why did the maiden summon us?

Maybe it's because of the Hou residence. Mrs. Zhang just guessed.

Gu Jiu paid attention to Gu Yue and Gu Shan, fearing that the two of them would be too nervous and make mistakes in front of the Empress.

The five followed the maid and came to the center of the main hall.

See the Queen Mother!

Everyone respectfully gave a big gift.

The old lady Wei Shi smiled, Qiyi Niangniang, these are the two nieces-in-law and three grand-nieces in the next room.

Empress Cui narrowed her eyes and scrutinized it carefully, Several girls who look like real signs have all come over to let Ben Gong take a closer look.

The palace maid invited the three of Gu Jiu to come forward.

Gu Jiu took the lead, passed the Zhang family and the Xie family, led Gu Yue, and Gu Shan stepped forward to meet.

The ministers and daughters see the Empress, the Empress is auspicious.

Um!

Empress Cui was in full swing, and the hands of Gu Yue and Gu Shan, which were tucked into their sleeves, kept shaking.

Look up and let Ben Gong take a look.

Gu Jiu raised his head slowly. It was the first time he was so close to Queen Cui, and it was also the first time he saw the front of Queen Cui.

The complexion is sallow, the hair is dry and yellow, and the cheeks are thin and sunken. The body is thin and the court clothes are empty.

This was Gu Jiu's first impression when he saw Empress Cui.

But what shocked Gu Jiu the most was Empress Cui's eyes. His eyes twinkled with light, and it seemed to be filled with the sun, moon, and stars, filled with hundreds of years before and after.

What a wise and fierce look it was.

Gu Jiu not only saw Empress Cui's ambitions and ambitions, but also saw the ferocity, cunning, and slaughter contained in it.

If Empress Cui held the military power, Gu Jiu had no doubt that she would definitely kill those wolf ambitions before she died, trying to overthrow the various ambitions of His Royal Highness.

Maybe she even dared to kill the emperor.

This is not alarmist.

Gu Jiu really saw all this in the eyes of Empress Cui.

Speaking of which, Gu Jiu seemed to have observed Empress Cui for a long time, but in fact it was only two or three seconds. After just one glance, Gu Jiu hurriedly closed his eyelids with a submissive look.

Queen Cui nodded, What's your name? How old is it?

Gu Jiu bowed and said, Reporting to the maiden, the name of the minister's list is Jiu, and she is fifteen.

Did you say kiss?

I haven't told you yet.

Queen Cui laughed, You're very good, let's step back.

As ordered!

Gu Jiu bowed and stepped back, and Gu Yue and Gu Shan also stepped back.

It seemed that the Empress had called the three of them to her just to observe Gu Jiu.
