Chapter 254 Summoned by the Queen Mother
Huo Yun instantly understood what she meant and said, "It's all my fault. I twisted my leg at this juncture. Otherwise, I should have been able to catch someone if I chased her out now."

After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at Shuangsheng eagerly.

Shuangjiang turned his head and said, "He's such a big man, he walks like he's flying, how can I catch up with him?"

Gu Qingyou had no choice but to put away the shoes: "That's right, forget it, I heard that Hengye will enter the palace tomorrow morning, so I can only force him to wear old shoes, but it doesn't matter, he is now in front of the new emperor. A red man, even if his shoes have holes, no one dares to laugh at him.”

Now Shuangjiang is anxious: "How can that happen? Everyone knows that you and the second young master are about to get married. If he goes out wearing shoes with holes, I'm afraid others will gossip about you!"

She couldn't tolerate the reputation of being unkind to her young lady, so she didn't care about anything else at the moment, so she grabbed her shoes and chased her out.

Gu Qingyou and Huo Yun looked at each other and smiled. They had already created the opportunity. Whether they could seize it or not was up to them.

The next day, Song Hengye was in high spirits and entered the palace wearing brand new shoes. He also specially gave in and sent a message, asking Gu Qingyou to eat less for breakfast. He said that there was a new restaurant in the east of the city that was good. After leaving the palace, he would give it to Gu Qingyou. She brought back some special snacks.

It's hard for him to think of this. Gu Qingyou only drank a bowl of millet porridge in the morning and waited eagerly. Who thought he would wait until the afternoon.

"Second Young Master hasn't returned home yet?"

Huo Yun looked in the direction of the courtyard door and shook her head: "Shuang'er has gone to the front yard several times to see it, but she always came back empty-handed."

Gu Qingyou's intuition was that something was not right, so she thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to ask my mother to see if there is any news from the palace."

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, although Song Hengye has been highly regarded, he is still a military commander and does not have much to do in the capital. This is the first time he has stayed in the palace for a whole day like today.

Moreover, he recently learned that he was busy preparing for the wedding. Unless it was something extremely urgent, the emperor would not summon Song Hengye to the palace.

She straightened her clothes and was about to go out when there was a sound at the door of the courtyard, and she saw Shuangjiang running in with her skirt in hand, looking a little panicked: "Sorry, miss, someone from the palace has come, saying that the Queen Mother wants to see you!"

As the words fell, Xue Lan walked in with a cold face, followed by a strange-looking nanny. Although there was a smile on her lips, her eyes were sharp and her back was straight. She was neither humble nor overbearing when she followed Xue Lan. An old man who has been immersed in the harem for many years.

I couldn't blame Shuangjiang for being surprised. Even Xue Lan was surprised when he heard the news.

Speaking of which, the two of them had a close relationship with the Queen Mother, the former Jin emperor's queen.

What happened to Gu Qingyou at the Xian Concubine Palace banquet for the first time when he entered the palace was most likely the work of the Queen Mother. However, due to circumstances, she and Xue Lan had no choice but to choose the former between the crown prince and Concubine Meng's second prince. .

The status disparity meant that they couldn't take revenge, but that didn't mean they didn't have grudges in their hearts. What was the purpose of suddenly calling her into the palace in the midst of their wedding?
But the Empress Dowager sent her personal maid, Madam Zheng, to deliver the decree. Xue Lan was dissatisfied and said, "I don't know why the Empress Dowager summoned me. Youyou is going to get married soon, and there are many other things to deal with..."

Before she could finish speaking, Aunt Zheng had already interrupted her with a smile: "Don't be nervous, Madam. Your Majesty ascended the throne this time, General Xiao Song has contributed a lot. The Queen Mother is keeping this in mind and wants to make up for Miss Gu." ”

This statement obviously has no credibility. If you want a reward, you can send someone to the Duke's palace. Why do you have to let your daughter enter the palace? Xue Lan still wanted to refuse, but Gu Qingyou had already said: "The Queen Mother has given me a reward. It is time for me to go and thank you in person. I also ask Aunt Zheng to wait for me to change clothes later."

Aunt Zheng glanced at Xue Lan with a sharp gaze, smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Xue Lan was warned by an old slave and almost exploded with anger. Seeing her mother's chest rising and falling violently, Gu Qingyou hurriedly took Xue Lan's hand and said, "My daughter rarely enters the palace. I'm afraid there are many rules she doesn't understand. Please, please Mother is here to give you some advice.”

Aunt Zheng lowered her eyes and said nothing. Xue Lan snorted heavily, took her daughter's hand and walked back to the room.

He did not forget to scold: "Our Duke's Mansion no longer has to look at anyone's face. If you don't want to go, no one can take you away!"

Gu Qingyou smiled helplessly, knowing that his mother was worried about him, but the new emperor had just ascended the throne, and Hengye was reused because of his support. He could not be stared at with many envious and jealous eyes, whether it was his mother who was an adoptive mother, or who was about to become a mother. It would be hard for his wife to offend the emperor's biological mother at this time and make her talk of favor and arrogance.

Seeing that her daughter was sensible, Xue Lan felt even worse. She gritted her teeth and said, "Who does she think she is? If she hadn't been the emperor's biological mother, she should have been sent to be the companion of the dog emperor!"

Since the death of Emperor Jin, several small countries in the surrounding area have launched riots from time to time. If the new emperor wants to secure the throne, he cannot do without the two generals Hengye and King Qin. So what if he is arrogant and favored? If he wants to deal with the Duke's government like his father, it will take another twenty years!
Gu Qingyou looked outside nervously, wanting to cover her mother's mouth.

It's one thing to say something in your heart. Once you say it and spread it, it will be a crime of genocide. Even if the new emperor can't take over the Duke's palace now, he can't stop people from holding grudges!

"Mom, one more thing is worse than one less thing. As you said, the emperor doesn't dare to do anything to me. How dare the Queen Mother harm me?"

Xue Lan was confused by concern, but now she calmed down and hummed: "I'll be waiting for you at the palace gate. If you can't get out for half an hour, see if I don't go in and tear that stinky bitch apart!"

Gu Qingyou changed into simple yet dignified clothes, looked at her mother in the bronze mirror and smiled: "If you have this time, why not think about making some mirrors? After all this time, bronze mirrors are not as good as modern ones." Mirrors are convenient.”

After Song Chengye corrected his evil ways, Xue Lan handed over the delivery business to him one after another. He was really busy on weekdays. When his daughter said it, his attention shifted and he came over and took a look in the mirror: "That's true. How are you now? It’s easy to be young again, it’s time to be beautiful, and once the mirror comes out, we can make a lot of money.”

Although they are no longer short of money, who would think there is too much money?

Aunt Zheng was waiting outside. It was not easy for the two of them to talk. When Gu Qingyou walked out of the door, Aunt Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

The original owner was naturally beautiful, and Gu Qingyou herself was at the age where she loved beauty, and she usually paid great attention to exercise. Therefore, although her figure was slender, she did not look weak like ordinary women, nor did she appear strong.

When you smile slightly, you feel like a spring breeze, not coquettish, not flattering, and even standing next to the princess is not inferior.

If it was not promised to General Song, but entered the harem. . .
