Reborn imperial concubine

In the blink of an eye, it was the Shangyuan Festival, and there was still no news of His Ninth Prince.

Gu Sheng reported the leave to the Imperial Academy and stayed at home for three to five days. Originally, he wanted to avoid Lin Ran's entanglement and questioning, but after he calmed down, the panic in his heart had nowhere to hide.

"What's the matter? You're listless." Yan walked to the flower garden.

Gu Sheng didn't respond, still sitting on the bluestone steps in a daze.

Lifting the corner of her skirt, Yan shi squatted down, leaned into her ear and said, "Your Highness didn't invite you to watch the lanterns tonight?"

Gu Sheng came back to his senses, rolled his eyes slowly, and replied lightly: "Oh, I made an appointment, but I pushed it back."

"What are you pushing!" Yan's eyes widened.

Gu Sheng glanced at his mother, and teased: "The Second Highness is not as anxious as you."

Yan said solemnly: "Today is the first full moon day this year, what's the matter with you rejecting someone's invitation? You have to come up with a reason, after all, he is King Xuan of our Great Xia, how can you tolerate this Willful nonsense!"

"It's okay." Gu Sheng explained indifferently: "Your Highness is not in the mood to enjoy the lanterns at this moment. If I really agree, then it will be called lack of vision."

Yan Shi was even more surprised: "I'm not in the mood to enjoy lanterns with you? Why? This is fine..."

Gu Sheng interrupted: "Mother, don't worry about it, it's because Jiang Han's Jiuhuangmei went to Beijing on business! This is the first time, and it's still a very tricky job, and the rest of us are worried, Where is the mood to enjoy the lanterns?"

"Jiuhuangmei?" Yan narrowed her eyes and thought about it carefully, and said, "Is that your big-spending little master?"

"Hmm..." Gu Sheng couldn't help laughing wryly. My mother had never seen His Highness the Ninth Prince before, and she remembered the frightening handwriting of His Highness the Ninth Prince every time the steward sign came to the mansion to reward her...

Yan groaned for a moment, then murmured: "That child is four or five years younger than you, right? Such an older child will be let off the job? It's weird to say that the emperor's family is hard-hearted!"

Seeing that Gu Sheng didn't answer, Yan said again: "Why don't mother accompany you to the market at night?"

She raised her hand to pinch her daughter's cheek, and said with a loving smile: "The girl is old, and she hasn't enjoyed lanterns with her mother for many years. From now on, the place next to you should be taken by King Xuan."

Gu Sheng looked sideways at Yan, with mixed feelings in her heart. Indeed, every year during the Lantern Festival, the palace holds lantern banquets, and she always waits beside His Highness Ninth Prince. She can't remember how long she hasn't enjoyed lanterns with her mother. .

"Okay, then Sheng'er will accompany mother to enjoy the lanterns." Gu Sheng tilted his head and leaned against Yan's shoulder, his bright black eyes like lacquer rolled slightly, suddenly remembered something, and immediately straightened up again, full of interest He smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll put on the headdress I made last time!"

Back in the bedroom, Gu Sheng took down a small mahogany carved box from the top of the wardrobe and put it on the coffee table.

A layer of fine dust had already accumulated on the surface of the box. When the lid was opened, a pair of rabbit ears made of white fox fur lay quietly inside. They were brand new, not dusted at all.

The fluffy rabbit ears, this is a gadget that Gu Sheng sewed for His Highness the Ninth Prince himself.

Every year during the Shangyuan and Mid-Autumn Festival, Gu Sheng would wear these rabbit ears on His Highness the Ninth Highness to lie to the little scum, saying that wearing these ears would make him look very majestic...

At that time, the baby fat on the little scumbag's face hadn't faded yet, and Gu Sheng was so indifferent to wearing a pair of rabbit ears!

Unfortunately, just a few years ago, at a lantern viewing banquet in the palace, there was a nobleman holding a three-year-old baby, sitting opposite the Huangjue banquet, very close.

The bad thing is that it is too close, the palace lanterns are bright, and the person sitting at this end can clearly see——

The three-year-old doll also wore a pair of rabbit ears on her head!

At that time, His Highness the Ninth Highness had just turned eight years old, and was already a very respectable little prince. Just separated by the cold air, he and the three-year-old doll who wore the same style of rabbit ears as him, looked at each other silently for a moment...

Then he raised his hand, snorted and tore off the rabbit ears on his head!Throw it to Gu Sheng!

The Seventh Prince sitting beside him stopped him, saying, "Why did you pick it up? How cute?"

Doesn't this add fuel to the fire!

Because the seats for the Lantern Festival were relatively casual, Gu Sheng was given to sit aside by His Highness the Ninth Prince at that time. Seeing this, he was so frightened that his head almost retracted into his neckline.

I kept complaining in my heart, how could this nobleman dress up children in the palace!Let the little scum bump into...

After a feast of lanterns, the little scum stared at Gu Sheng dozens of times, the grievance in those eyes... anyway, Gu Sheng dare not think about it.

Since then, His Royal Highness has refused to wear ears!

Gu Sheng slowly pulled back his thoughts, reached out and took out a pair of fluffy rabbit ears, couldn't help but sneered, walked to the dressing table, and put it on his bun in front of the mirror.

Still smugly tsk-tsk, he said to himself: "Look at this skill! What do you dislike? Others don't give it if they want to wear it!"

When Yan saw her daughter coming out with a pair of fluffy rabbit ears on top of her head, she immediately burst into joy, went to the house to pick out two masks, brought a lot of broken silver, and dragged her daughter out of the house.

Fang Yu personally led a few men to guard behind him, and the mother and daughter also had a good time.

In the busiest street market in the capital, the sound of drums shook the sky, the torches illuminated the ground, and a team of jugglers wandered mightily in the middle of the street full of tourists.

The ferocious beast masks formed a strange contrast with the joyful atmosphere, which made people inexplicably excited.

Gu Sheng bought several new masks at the stall, and specially picked the ugliest one, planning to trick His Highness Jiu into wearing it next year, in order to seek psychological comfort.

Make you so beautiful!

There are wooden and ceramic masks, which are very solid in the hand, and it is a bit overwhelming to stack three or five masks together.

Gu Sheng turned to look at Yan Shi, wanting to ask his mother for help, but when he turned his head, he saw that Fang Yu behind him didn't pay attention to himself, but looked at something intently from the side.

Gu Sheng followed his gaze, and saw his mother quietly watching the juggling team pass by under the lights, with a relaxed smile that was rarely seen before.

Under the bright lights, Yan's black hair was smudged with black brilliance.

Looking back at Mr. Fang again, it's really... I can't bear to blink.

Gu Sheng's first reaction was that she was a little annoyed. After all, her own mother was looked at so presumptuously by a nobleman. She felt somewhat uncomfortable, and instinctively planned to step forward to stop her.

At this moment, a group of frolicking children rushed towards the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, one of the chubby little boys bumped into Yan's calf.

With a plop, Yan Shi staggered, and Fang Yu rushed forward to support him behind him.

The child fell down and squatted, and the candied haws in his hand fell to the ground, and half of it just hit Yan's embroidered toe cap, and it stuck to the shoe.

The child burst into tears, Yan stood there in a panic for a while, Fang Yu squatted down without saying a word——

Gu Sheng thought he was going to help the child up, but unexpectedly, this man stretched out his hand and pushed the candied haws off Yan's feet. Wipe it clean.

Gu Sheng: "..." The child is still sitting on the floor making noise!

"My lord!" Yan Shi was so frightened that she took a few steps back and said anxiously, "Get up quickly!"

Gu Sheng was taken aback by his weird behavior, a gust of wind swept through his mind, and his thoughts fell into chaos.

When she saw Fang Yu stand up, his face turned purple. Obviously, he didn't think about what he did just now, and only now did he realize that he was ashamed.

In an instant, Gu Sheng's mind cleared after the rain, and a long-lost expectation appeared in front of him like the sun was shining through the clouds—Gu Sheng was no longer annoyed, and walked over with a warm smile, picked up the child on the ground, and brought him He went to buy a new candied haws.

The two blushing people were left facing each other alone.

Since Fusang and Daxia are facing each other across the sea, there are no spies who can come back in advance to report the news of His Highness the Ninth Prince.

Gu Sheng could only wait. As the only one who knew that His Royal Highness would return safely, her performance was not much calmer than Jiang Han's.

Gu Sheng was restless at home, so he went to school in a well-behaved manner, for fear of missing the opportunity to welcome His Highness the Ninth Prince's triumphant return. In that case, Liang Zi would end up in a sea, and the little scum might get angry... …

Lin Ran's desperation had subsided for the past two days, but it happened that on the second day after Gu Sheng returned to the school, after the hour passed, a signboard from the palace manager came to the school to invite Gu Sheng into the palace, saying that the master wanted to accompany him to the school. She narrates.

As soon as Lin Ran heard that it was the master who came to invite Gu Sheng, his face turned blue immediately, and he spoke first and asked, "Is she only going to enter the palace alone? I am also a companion!"

The manager looked up at her, and said doubtfully, "You are also the companion of His Highness the Ninth Prince? May I ask who is Miss Gu Sheng, but the master only invited Miss Gu."

Lin Ran choked on this question, pouted for a long time and couldn't answer, the eyes that squinted at Gu Sheng were filled with tears...

Gu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and answered "I am", and followed the steward's signboard into the palace.

When she left, she was still excited, and she also thought that the "master" who invited her was His Highness Ninth Prince.

It wasn't until she got off the carriage and entered the palace that the attendants who led the way passed by the Compassionate Ning Palace and led Gu Sheng to the direction of Changchun Palace, that made her suspicious.

"Eunuch, didn't you say that the master invited me to talk? We have already passed the Compassion Palace."

The attendant who led the way kept walking, and replied in a respectful tone: "Miss, you are joking, the Compassionate Ning Palace is the residence of the noble concubine, and our master lives in the Changchun Palace."

With a buzzing sound in Gu Sheng's head, he stopped and said, "Eternal Spring Palace? That...that's not the concubine of King Xuan..."

The father-in-law couldn't hear the footsteps behind him, so he stopped, turned around and said, "It's the concubine Zhuang who wants to ask, and she also asks the girl to have quicker legs and feet, the lady is impatient."

Gu Sheng immediately clenched his fists, what did Concubine Zhuang summon her for?

Gu Sheng's legs and feet couldn't move, and he blamed himself for looking forward to the return of His Highness Ninth Prince, but he entered the palace in a daze as soon as the master summoned him. This time, he really has to explain it here!

Gu Sheng took out the purse from the armhole, handed it to the attendant who led the way, and said calmly: "Eunuch, can you do me a favor? No matter what the empress summoned me to do, please explain the errand, and go to Prince Xuan's Mansion will inform His Highness the Second Highness."

The attendant was stunned for a moment, looked down at the purse, and was about to open his mouth when suddenly a group of attendants and maids rushed towards the other side of Shouan Palace, and they passed by the two of them quickly, and ran towards the south.

The attendant who led the way for Gu Sheng seldom saw this situation in the solemn palace, and suddenly panicked, fearing that something serious had happened, he hurried forward a few steps, stopped one of the acquainted eunuchs, and asked, "What's the matter? "

The eunuch hurriedly replied: "His Royal Highness has returned to the palace! All the masters of the inner court have been announced to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and we have to pick them up too, don't delay!"
