Reborn imperial concubine

At this time, Jiang Han was standing upright in front of the queen's case, talking about something with a serious expression, Gu Sheng's voice was noisy, and her thoughts were all tied to the drowsy figure in front of the main entrance.

Probably because of being drunk and excited, Jiang Chenyue's peach blossom pupils shone brightly. After entering the door, she raised her hand, lowered her chin, stared at the flustered court lady, and announced to her proudly: "Gu, you can go by yourself. "

Then he turned his head quickly, his pale golden eyes fixed on the back of the Second Highness in the distance, and walked crookedly over——

"Your Highness..." A few maids at the side were sweating in panic, and raised their hands to prevent His Highness Ninth from falling.

The few maids who stepped into the gate of the palace were holding palace lanterns in their hands. After entering the palace, they walked in through the outermost pillars of the door couplets.

It was inconvenient for Gu Sheng to contact His Highness the Ninth Prince proactively at this time, so he had to get up and wanted to follow the path to chase the group of maids holding the lamps and inquire about His Highness the Ninth Prince's situation.

Seeing this, Jiang Yushan's eyes turned slightly, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Look at you, are you worried about Ah Jiu?"

Gu Sheng glanced at His Highness Ninth Prince who sometimes walked sideways and vertically from the corner of his eye, his brows were almost knit together, and then he replied in a low voice as if complaining: "Yes, sister, look, how much Your Highness Ninth Drink has been drinking?" Wine? I have to ask!"

Jiang Yushan covered her mouth with a smile when she heard the words, and pulled Gu Sheng's wrist and said, "Sit down, what do those court ladies know? Don't worry, Ah Jiu is incapable of drinking, but since he was young, he loves to imitate the second sister's behavior, and every banquet must Drinking the same wine as the second sister, others persuaded you to grow up to drink alcohol, but she wants to prove that she has grown up, but every time she drinks two glasses, she becomes like this."

"..."

Gu Sheng just returned to his seat in a hesitant manner. Seeing His Highness the Ninth Highness walk behind the Second Highness through all kinds of hardships, he really didn't need anyone to help him.

The queen was talking to Jiang Han lovingly, but she was gnashing her teeth with hatred for the second princess.

When Jiang Han was in front of the emperor that day, he insisted on apologizing and thanking Yan Fei. An servant around the emperor had sent a letter to the queen in private.

Since Jiang Han has now left the palace to open the mansion, the queen is beyond her reach, so she has to punish Jiang Han's biological mother Concubine Zhuang to vent her anger.

Concubine Zhuang has suffered a lot in private, and she doesn't know why the queen suddenly took an unfavored concubine to her surgery, so she can only cry to her daughter every time Jiang Han visits the palace.

Jiang Han naturally guessed that the empress was targeting her. She didn't dare to tell her mother that she had offended the empress, and she couldn't see her mother suffering because of herself. Today, she took the opportunity to toast the empress. There was something in her words, and she asked for threats. It was a good talk.

The queen was getting angry the more she listened, but she only gave birth to a sixth prince, Shuo Jun, and she could only rely on the emperor's favor in the palace.

A few years ago, the emperor specially recruited a son-in-law in the capital, making the sixth prince the only one who did not send a marriage. This is already an extreme favor, but the queen still dare not openly confront the prince in front of her.

Once Emperor Qi You abdicates, in case the Second Highness ascends the throne, although the Empress and Concubine Zhuang will both be crowned Empress Dowagers, but to Jiang Han at that time, she is no different from the fish on the chopping board.

Therefore, apart from praying that Emperor Qi You would live longer than herself, she still had to leave some leeway for the princes, and also left a way out for herself.

A few years ago, there was a wave of support among the ministers to support the crown prince.

The number of the big prince's faction and the second emperor's daughter's faction in the court and the central government were evenly matched. Seeing that the brothers and sisters who were originally harmonious were becoming increasingly estranged, Emperor Qi You couldn't help but feel very sad about it, and finally decided to follow the way of the previous dynasty to establish a crown prince——

Instead of establishing a crown prince, it was changed to an edict to pass on the throne.

The posthumous edict was placed on the highest plaque in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the guards were strictly guarded. In addition to Chinese, there were also versions such as deeds, which were kept secret, so that there was no way for the court to dispute the matter of the crown prince.

Among the four princes, the ones who are most likely to ascend the throne in the future are the eldest prince and the second princess.

Although another super product was born later, the Nine Emperors were still young and their blood was not pure, so the ministers were still divided into the Cheng'an Royal Party and the Xuan Royal Party.

Originally, the empress did not stand on both sides, and she didn't want to displease Emperor Qi You, she just wanted to please the Ninth Emperor Daughter.

After all, Nine Emperors is a super-rank emperor. No matter who becomes the emperor in the future, Chao-pin will be protected by the royal law established by his ancestors, and no one dares to underestimate her.

But now that the second princess has taken the initiative to show her sword, the queen can't sit still, even if she doesn't join the eldest prince's faction, she will definitely try to ruin Jiang Han's future.

"...I just hope that you and Your Highness will improve your skills and share your father's worries." The queen said kindly.

Jiang Han heard the meaning of estrangement and seeing off the guests in the queen's words, so he could only bow and reply: "I will try my best to live up to the high expectations of my mother."

The queen pursed her lips and nodded slightly, and suddenly saw a familiar figure floating sideways behind Jiang Han unsteadily, and imitating Jiang Han's tone, repeating drunkenly: "I will live up to... the mother's mother... I am a little tired It's..."

"His Royal Highness Nine?!" The queen was startled, and hurriedly sent the maid beside her to help her up.

Several people rushed up, dragged His Highness Ninth Prince to sit beside the Queen, and the Queen personally put her arms around the little Huangjue, approached her bosom, and said distressedly: "Why are you drinking again? Who is serving Your Highness today! One counts as one, and after the banquet is over, I will go to get [-] boards for everyone!"

The maids immediately fell to their knees and mourned for the punishment.

Behind the curtain on the left side of the center of the main hall, sitting the birth mother of His Royal Highness, Concubine You Gui, was no more than five steps away from the empress.

Concubine You had just vaguely seen the figure of her own child, so she ordered someone to lift up the bead curtain, and she saw Jiang Chenyue swaying towards her from afar...

If there was no one around, Concubine You Gui would have gotten up long ago to grab His Highness Ninth Prince's ear, and go back to Yonghe Palace for a spanking.

But she had come to Xia Dynasty to be with her relatives for more than ten years, she was used to the strict rules of the Xia Dynasty court, she dared not act recklessly at the banquet, so she had to pretend she didn't see it.

Seeing that the queen had no time to reply, Jiang Han nodded and said goodbye, then turned and walked towards Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng has been watching the movement of His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, seeing the Empress personally feeding her sober tea, he felt relieved, his eyes just happened to glance at Concubine You Gui who was sitting behind the bead curtain, and his eyes lit up immediately.

Concubine Yinyou often showed "lack of etiquette" when she first came to get married, but she was a descendant of the Roman Empire after all, and her habits were very different from those of the Xia Dynasty. degree of freedom.

Even when eating banquets, Concubine You mostly feasts alone in the side hall, or the palace maids move the screen to place them in a corner, and eat "isolated" from the world.

At this time, the bead curtain was raised, and Gu Sheng saw this foreign and intimate princess for the first time.

She has seen Western businessmen and missionaries with red beards and blue eyes before, but she has never seen such delicately carved Western beauties, just like the angels with huge wings depicted on the glass of churches by missionaries .

Concubine You's hair color is much lighter than that of His Highness Ninth Highness, her nose is high and her eyes are sunken, and her outline is much deeper. Her lips are plump, and the corners of her mouth are also naturally slightly raised, giving her an innate arrogance.

Looking down, the long light-colored eyelashes are unconsciously seductive. From this angle, they are somewhat similar to Jiang Chenyue.

Gu Sheng always thought that Jiang Chenyue looked like her biological mother, so she had that exotic and seductive aura.

But now that she really saw Concubine You Gui, she had to admit that His Royal Highness [-]% still inherited the blood of the Jiang family, but the delicate outline was relatively deep, and the eyes were light-colored. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell if you have foreign blood .

Just as she was in a daze, Jiang Han's gentle voice suddenly came from her ear: "A Sheng."

Gu Sheng hurriedly turned her head and looked up, and saw Jiang Han standing in front of her with a warm smile, and she hurriedly got up to greet her.

Because Jiang Yushan was sitting beside him, Jiang Han only exchanged a few words with Gu Sheng, then hurriedly said goodbye to the two, turned and walked out of the supporting hall.

Gu Sheng watched Jiang Han leave distractedly, and when he sat down, he heard Jiang Yushan beside him laughing, "Why did she call you A Sheng? The second sister is such a well-behaved person, but she has never been so intimate with any little gentleman... ..." As he spoke, he gave Gu Sheng a meaningful look.

Gu Sheng blushed immediately, and hurriedly changed the subject.

After the banquet was over, Gu Sheng said goodbye to the eighth princess, followed the servants, and walked out of the palace with all the guests.

Just when she stepped out of the Qianqing Gate, someone behind her suddenly passed by, bumped into her shoulder intentionally or unintentionally, pushed Gu Sheng staggered, and bumped into the back of a strange gentleman in front of her.

She hurriedly apologized, then turned her head to look at the figure who hit her just now in doubt.

Although it was half past Xu's hour when the moonlight filled the air, but the palace lanterns were shining brightly everywhere, Gu Sheng still recognized the person whom he hadn't seen for a long time in front of him at a glance - Gu Rao.

"Isn't this the third younger sister?" Gu Rao looked at Gu Sheng with a sneer, and sarcastically said, "Why are you here? Oh, by the way, my younger sister will accompany Huangjue to read again, is she here to serve His Royal Highness? No wonder My sister didn't see you in the side hall."

Gu Sheng didn't want to talk to her at first, but her voice echoed in the silent night, attracting all the guests walking around to look over——

Gu Sheng chuckled, and returned calmly: "His Highness Ninth Prince invited me to the banquet. I didn't expect my sister to come too. I thought only Princess Cheng'an could attend the banquet."

Gu Rao frowned immediately when she heard the words, hearing that Gu Sheng was mocking her status as a concubine Ji, she immediately turned cold and scolded: "You are so brave!"

Gu Sheng saw Gu Rao's expression of wanting to question her, so he had to quickly step back a few steps, stand outside the crowd, and wanted to call the servants to send her out of the palace.

Gu Rao dared to be so unscrupulous and arrogant before he was concubine. This was still in the palace, and it was hard for Gu Sheng to believe that she really dared to make trouble.

However, the next moment, Gu Rao had squeezed out of the crowd and chased after her aggressively. Only then did Gu Sheng see her swaying steps. The two of them were not facing the lights just now, and she couldn't see the smell of alcohol on Gu Rao's face. Only then did I realize that she had drunk too much.

Gu Sheng frowned, she didn't want to be entangled by a drunken maniac, she was about to turn around and dodge, but Gu Rao threw her arms around her and grabbed her shoulders.

The surrounding palace servants hurriedly gathered around to persuade them. Amidst the confusion, a notification sound came from the outside: "Please stay for a while, Miss Gu Sheng. Your Highness the Ninth Prince, please—"

Hearing this, the guests leaving the palace stopped one after another and looked around, wanting to know who "Miss Gu Sheng" was.

The servants around Gu Sheng had already retreated at this time, but Gu Rao who was beside her was still holding her by the shoulder relentlessly.

"Let go."

Hearing this voice, Gu Sheng quickly turned his head to look beside him, and saw Jiang Chenyue walking out from the bowed servants, looked at Gu Rao with a puzzled face, and said in a low voice, "Who are you?"

Gu Rao turned around and saw that it was His Highness the Ninth Prince who came, and finally let go of his hands, and said with a shaky blessing body, "Gu Rao, my servant, came from Cheng'an Prince's Mansion."

When Jiang Chenyue heard that he was the eldest prince, she didn't want to entangle her, and waved Gu Rao to back down.

Gu Rao was probably really drunk this time, after she resigned, she reached out and grabbed Gu Sheng beside her, and even dragged her out of the palace together.

The attendant hurriedly stopped her, but Gu Rao said calmly, "Your Highness, this is my younger sister. She broke the rules just now, and I have to take her back."

Jiang Chenyue's eyes suddenly turned cold, she looked at the strange woman in front of her, took a deep breath, she still didn't want to argue with a gentleman, she just warned in a low voice: "If you want to take her away, go and ask the eldest brother to ask for someone from me." .”

The meaning of these words is obvious, indicating that Gu Rao is not qualified to speak here, but Gu Rao really relentlessly grabbed Gu Sheng when he was drunk.
