As soon as Gu Xiang entered the gate of the princess mansion in the capital, all the female officials, court ladies, Bing Jiang Sizan and others in the princess mansion surrounded her, sent Gu Xiang directly to the hot spring pool to wash her thoroughly, and gave her a fresh start. Apply the top jade face cream in the palace to the feet, and take good care of the skin.

The hair was thoroughly soaked three times with hair cream made from Radix Polygoni Multiflori, and after washing it was smooth and shiny, even more beautiful than the pearl satin that was popular in the palace recently.

After bathing and changing clothes, Gu Xiang took a selfie in the mirror, only to see that her skin was flushed, and her whole body seemed to be shining.

Not long after, Jiang Sizan first led people in with clothes in their hands, made Gu Xiang look good, and sent her to the palace to meet the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and Her Majesty.

As soon as Gu Xiang entered the Hall of Compassion, he smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.

There were guests in the Hall of Compassion, and a lady about 40 years old was sitting on a rose chair. As soon as Gu Xiang entered the hall, he looked at her, and immediately saw that the lady showed a little vigilance and disgust. , and have no idea of ​​convergence concealment.

The queen mother smiled, obviously very happy, and said in a loud voice: "Ah Xiang is considered to be back, come quickly, I know you are coming, Ai's family specially asked the imperial dining room to make fried duck feet for you, it is very fat and tender, today I want to stay and have dinner with Ai's family."

Gu Xiang immediately stopped thinking about the origin of this guest, the Empress Dowager, and why he was so hostile, and just responded with a smile.

The Empress Dowager held Gu Xiang's hand tightly, her attention seemed to be on Gu Xiang, she just casually said to the lady: "Yu Le, you, mother, take care of your children's affairs. At this age, I can't even control my own son and granddaughter. How can I control others? Let's go, don't keep running to the palace if you have nothing to do. Not good, too lazy to socialize with you juniors."

The madam's face sank, her heart was not angry, she just looked at the Queen Mother's expression, she could only bear to leave for a moment.

As soon as the lady left, the Empress Dowager sighed softly, her expression was still amiable, but the somewhat deliberately familiar but somewhat uncomfortable atmosphere dissipated.

As expected, her old man asked someone to serve fried duck feet. The chef of the imperial dining room was really good at cooking. Gu Xiang was not too polite, and ate several in a row.

The queen mother couldn't help but feel happy when she saw Gu Xiang's relaxed face, and she ate half a bowl of rice.In recent years, her appetite has become worse and worse. Speaking of it, the refreshing side dishes that Gu Xiang sent to the palace are more suitable for eating.

While eating, a lucky-looking nanny came in outside. The queen mother glanced at her and sighed: "Go to your Lady Yang's place again?"

Mammy nodded helplessly.

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, shook her head and said, "This Yule is really getting worse and worse."

As she said that, the queen mother looked down at Gu Xiang, with a little helplessness on her face: "Yu Le is Yu Zhen's daughter, and Yu Zhen has spoiled her. If she offends you, Ah Xiang, don't spoil her. Tell me, and I will replace her." You just clean her up."

As soon as Gu Xiang's mind turned, he remembered that the 'Yuzhen' mentioned by the Queen Mother was actually His Majesty's aunt, the eldest princess of this dynasty.

The lady in front of me should be a princess.

It's no wonder she doesn't have much impression of her. Her time in the capital is still short, and there are many clans and clan daughters in this dynasty. She didn't pay attention to the complex relationship between nobles and nobles in the dynasty before. Let her read it, but she also read it as a story book, and only remembered some interesting things. She thought about it for a long time, but she didn't think of the intersection between herself and the princess, and naturally she couldn't think of any grievances.

The queen mother said softly: "Yu Le has chosen Yu Guang to be her son-in-law. Hey, if her plan can come true, it will be done long ago. How can she wait until today, but she just can't think about it."

There was a pause in the voice, and there were some jokes in the Queen Mother's words.

"It's fine that Yuguang's child is not enlightened. Isn't she enlightened now? She has changed her mind again, what a pity."

The queen mother smiled and said, "She can see, but can't eat. The child Yuguang has long been in our Axiang's pocket."

Gu Xiang: "..."

It's as if she is a cannibal goblin.

Gu Xiang originally planned to pay a visit to the Queen Mother, so he said goodbye with a wink, but he didn't want to sit with her until noon.

The queen mother took her to eat all kinds of delicacies prepared by the imperial dining room, listened to the storytelling by the female gentleman, had tea, and took all kinds of silks and satins sent by her embroiderers, and listened to them describe the materials used for the wedding dress. And style, talking and laughing, the time passed quickly and easily.

Gu Xiangdu was a little surprised that the Compassionate Ning Palace was so peaceful and peaceful.

Before she entered Beijing, and after she entered Beijing, it was clear that everyone felt like she was on a tight string. Jiang Sizan burst into tears when he saw her go back. She described the recent situation in the capital.

Because he was about to enter the palace, it was rare for Jiang Sizan to give up his usual reserved rhetoric, and told her in general about all the troublesome things that happened in the capital recently.

In the past few months, from top to bottom in the capital, almost everyone has been involved in the 'Prince' incident.

Gu Xiang thought that the atmosphere in the palace must be terrifying, but he never thought that the Empress Dowager's expression remained as calm as before, and her daily life was not affected at all.

No, it should be said that the Empress Dowager's thoughts are not on the prince at all, she only thinks about An Guogong Zhao Ying's marriage.

In the future, it seems that he will not be the Duke of the State anymore. In one step, His Majesty has already sent a message to make An Guogong Zhao Ying the King of England.

Obviously, in the Queen Mother's mind, Zhao Ying's big marriage and the title of king are the real serious things.

"The 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is an auspicious day for the zodiac. It is reasonable to say that the princess will take at least a year or two to prepare for it. But you and Yuguang are familiar with each other. Yuguang is actually a quick-tempered man. Going down, I still don't know what's wrong with him, and what's going on, if Ah Xiang is willing, you might as well follow his will."

The queen mother smiled lightly, "You don't have to worry about anything else. As early as Yuguang's letter was delivered to the capital, the inner palace began to prepare for the big event of the princess's surrender. Yuguang was crowned king, Ah Xiang's surrender, double happiness, passed down to future generations , maybe I can write it down in the history books."

Gu Xiang: "..."

In a blink of an eye, the Empress Dowager had asked someone to show her the dowry list and the dowry list, and she spoke clearly and logically, like a few treasures, and one could tell that she had been thinking about it for a long time.

Gu Xiang couldn't laugh or cry, blinked, but didn't refute, but responded generously.

She is not that procrastinating temperament.

It's a pity that in this era, Gu Xiang's idea of ​​the couple to get a marriage certificate and then travel to get married can't be realized at all, otherwise, it would be more convenient and comfortable.
