Under the Empress Dowager, all members will be King

Chapter 11 Madam Makes a Wedding Dress for Miss
For many years since then, Pian Tao has always followed Gu Yinwei loyally, watching her go from an inconspicuous dress-changing concubine to a concubine, and then from a concubine to a queen, until she became the empress dowager with power over the world.

Bian Tao is glad that she followed the right person, and even more glad that she was the only one who helped Chu Chu when she was kicked out of Gu's house.

Piantao left, when she left, Gu Yinwei gave her a bag of money, but Piantao didn't take it.

Gu Yinwei looked at her back, thoughtfully.

After noon, the heat got worse, and the cicadas on the trees kept buzzing.

Gu Yingxia just woke up from a nap, when she learned that Gu Qingrong actually used the black widow to harm people, she was so angry that her face turned green.

"I'm going to find her to reason."

"and then?"

"And then...then..."

Her voice gradually lowered until it turned into a ray of melancholy.

"I can't think of a way to deal with a poison like the black widow, what are you going to do?"

"There must be a way before the car reaches the mountain."

Gu Yinwei's expression was slack, and her hair was loose as well. She was holding a book of former government and unofficial history and looked through it carefully.

"Huh? Isn't this my book, why is it here with you?"

"Your book, your book was burned long ago."

Gu Yingxia blushed, stuck out her tongue, and grabbed the fan to cover up her embarrassment.

"Ah Qing, remember to hide my book for you."

"The second miss is holding this book. You read it before your afternoon nap, and you won't let me take it."

"Hmph, anyway, I don't care, my book is read by her, I'm at a disadvantage, if you and Chu Chu don't fry two catties of caramel-flavored melon seeds for me, this matter will never end.

Chu Chu accompanied her with a smile: "I just fried half a catty of melon seeds yesterday, and the third lady finished eating so quickly?"

"I've finished eating a long time ago. I can eat ten catties of melon seeds a day, and my hiccups all smell like burnt melon seeds."

"Third sister, come with me. I'll take you to eat melon seeds and watch a good show."

"Okay, let me bring some more melon seeds."

"What melon seeds do you want to eat, let's go, let's go to the feast."

As soon as the two sisters left the hospital, Gu Qingrong shouted to them through the tall and low bushes.

"The two younger sisters didn't wait for me. In such a great heat, you are traveling so fast. You should be careful about heatstroke. Fortunately, Miss Ning's birthday party will be held at the Waterside Pavilion tonight. It is surrounded by green trees and is the most suitable place to take a rest."

"Here, this is the birthday gift I prepared for the three of us for Miss Ning, second sister, please hold it."

The gift box is square and square, with a silk flower tied in the center, surrounded by some flowers, one of which is purple in color.

Gu Yinwei stared at Gu Qingrong, Gu Qingrong was afraid that the two of them would see the clue, and urged them to leave quickly.

"The birthday party is about to start, let's go quickly."

Gu Yingxia pointed to the dried flower and said: "This flower is so red and purple, why don't you change it for a big sister? Let's go to the birthday banquet, not the Hongmen banquet. Isn't it beautiful to send a purple flower? , big sister, do you think so?"

"Miss Ning doesn't like red flowers, but purple flowers. I've found out her preferences a long time ago. Let's go in quickly."

Gu Qingrong took the lead, and the two younger sisters followed her leisurely. As they approached the Waterside Pavilion, there were more and more lanterns around, and beautiful ladies in red and green came to the banquet with congratulatory gifts.

The beautiful girls who can be invited by Ning Heyu are either familiar with her or have a noble status, so her birthday banquet is very grand.

As soon as Gu Qingrong arrived at the scene, the people around immediately called her to sit there. She is a social butterfly who is good at sociability, and she knows many people at the banquet.

Tian Tao knelt at the small table and poured wine for Gu Yingxia, and then poured a glass for Gu Yinwei. There were a lot of people at the banquet, and the voices were very noisy.

Wan Tao whispered into Gu Yinwei's ear, "Two birds with one stone."

Gu Yinwei took the wine cup, slightly hooked her lips, and her abacus was very precise. The so-called kill two birds with one stone, this gift box is a stone, and she and Ning Heyu are two birds. No matter who the black widow bites after waking up, Gu Yin All plans will succeed.

After all, the person who presented the gift was Gu Yinwei. If something went wrong with the gift and it hurt someone, based on what she said, others would mistake her for the murderer.

Gu Yinwei took out a puppet talisman from the cuff, and patted the black widow lightly, the color of the purple flower on the gift box dimmed a lot.

Ning Heyu sat in the main seat, she raised her wine glass and talked freely.

"Prepare a thin banquet tonight, and invite all sisters to gather together, thank you for your kindness to eat my banquet, we will not return tonight if we are not drunk."

All the beautiful women raised their wine glasses and said some words of blessing.

Show girls in twos and threes began to send gifts to Ning Heyu, and Gu Qingrong called out, "Second sister, you go too."

Gu Qingrong got up slowly, and presented the gift box to Ning Heyu.

"Happy birthday to Ms. Ning, I wish Ms. Ning a long life."

Ning Heyu ordered the maid to take away the gift box, Gu Qingrong's cheeks were flushed, and she was a little drunk.

"Miss Ning, quickly open it and have a look. This gift from our second sister is the double-sided embroidery of Mrs. Pang."

Upon hearing this, Ning Heyu untied the red silk from the gift box and began to unwrap the gift. Gu Qingrong pretended to trip, and poured a glass of water onto the gift box with precision.

Ning Heyu opened the gift box and found that the embroidery inside was indeed made by Mrs. Pang. She was all smiles, but before she had time to appreciate it carefully, a glass of fruit wine was poured down, and a large piece of silk was flowing on the white silk cloth. Pale yellow water stains.

It looked like an irreparable scar, Ning Heyu's eye knife was sharper than a murderous blade.

"Gu Qingrong, what kind of heart do you have? Just as your second sister gave me a gift on the front foot, you ruined the back foot."

Gu Qingrong was still in a daze, the black widow got in the water but didn't jump out of the gift box to bite, what went wrong.

"I'm asking you something, why on earth are you doing this?"

Ning Heyu slapped Gu Qingrong on the face, many people came up to watch, some smart people had already sneaked away.

The birthday party, which was lively and lively before, is now a mess, and nine out of ten tables are empty.

Gu Yingxia stood far away, staring at Shuixie Pavilion intently.

From time to time, she raised the melon seeds in her hand and fed them into her mouth, rolling her cheeks quickly.

Even if Tandao and Chuchu peeled melon seeds for her, it was not enough for her to eat alone.

The runes on the gift box were slightly crushed by Gu Yin, and the black widow was stained with wine. The wine at the banquet could even make people drunk, let alone a black widow, and the black widow had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Gu Qingrong looked down at the gift box and muttered: "There must be a mistake somewhere, there must be a mistake."

She reached out and grabbed the black widow and shook her vigorously. When the black widow was attacked, she jumped on the back of Gu Qingrong's hand and bit her hard.

Angrily, Gu Qingrong took off her shoes and hit the black widow. The black widow jumped on Ning Shuanghe and bit her leg. The maids came to rescue her, and the black widow jumped on Gu Qingrong's back.

Gu Qingrong was scratching around like a monkey, shouting: "Help me, save me quickly."

The maid beside Ning Shuanghe raised the gift box and slammed it hard on Gu Qingrong's head. The black widow finally died and turned into a dried flower again, falling straight to the ground.

Ning Shuanghe covered her mouth, step by step to her hind legs.

The maid holding the gift box was so frightened that she fell to the ground and crawled back in panic.

A puff of black gas emerged from Gu Qingrong's forehead. It was the poisonous gas released by the black widow after her death. At this time, the poisonous gas had already formed a large black spot on her face.

Someone kicked over a candle, someone tripped over, and someone fell into the lake.

Ning Heyu was panicked. Although it was Gu Qingrong who caused trouble first and ruined her birthday party, the person who beat Gu Qingrong with the gift box was Ning Heyu's personal servant girl. Gu Qingrong's face.

The servant girl knelt on the ground and sobbed: "Miss, this servant didn't do it on purpose. At that time, Miss Gu called for help, but this servant came to save her. Who knew it would become like this."

"You hit her, one is to vent my anger for me, and the other is to save her. You are loyal to the Lord, and I will try my best to keep you."

"Immediately send someone back to the Ning Mansion to deliver a letter to my father. I will tell you the truth about the Shuixie Pavilion in detail. I will ask my elder brother to find someone from the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate the origin of the Black Widow. Gu Qingrong must be convicted of bringing poison to the banquet. "

The moon in the night sky is very round, but there are very few stars. Gu Yinwei looked up at the moon, only to realize that what the ancients said about the rare moon and stars is not a lie.

Chu Chu spread out a straw mat on the ground, and Gu Yinwei lay quietly on the straw mat, holding a round fan in his hand.

Fragrance slowly spits out from the incense burner, and crickets sing in the corner.

"Chuchu, we will meet many people who are more poisonous than the black widow in the future, are you afraid?"

"Chu Chu is not afraid, it is the bad guys who should be afraid."

"You're right. It's the bad guys who should be afraid."

"But I'm a little scared."

"What is Miss afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that I will become a bad person."

Gu Yinwei's voice was very soft, Chu Chu was busy adding spices to the incense burner and didn't hear what she said clearly, when Chu Chu finished her work and turned around, Gu Yinwei had been asleep for a long time.

Gu Yingxia went out with two big bags of melon seeds, and when she came back, the melon seeds were all gone. "Second sister, I found a lot..."

Chu Chu lowered her voice: "Third Miss, keep your voice down, Second Miss is asleep."

Gu Yingxia rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll carry her in."

Chu Chu said: "Let me do it."

"Your hand hasn't healed yet. The doctor said you can't use gravity. Don't look at me as a small person, I have great strength."

Gu Yingxia practiced martial arts with Aunt Fang when she was young, so she is stronger than ordinary people. She hugged Gu Yinwei and carefully put her on the bed, and Chu Chu tucked Gu Yinwei in the quilt.

Gu Yinwei said in a daze: "Don't let the stars shine, turn off the moon, I want to sleep.

Gu Yingxia closed the window on tiptoe, puffed out her cheeks and blew out the lamp in the dormitory with a "hoo".

Chu Chu raised her back to wipe the corners of her eyes, and when she saw Gu Yingxia coming out, she hurriedly sniffed and turned her back.

"It's a full moon night, why are you crying all of a sudden?"

"My maidservant recalled that when Aunt Fang first came to Beijing, the third girl was alone, crying and arguing for her aunt every day. Our second lady coaxed the third lady to eat and coaxed the third lady to sleep. At that time, the third lady was not as tall as a stool. , right now the third miss is taller than the servant girl, and she still has the strength to hug the second miss."

"Yeah, I have grown taller and grown up, and I can protect the people around me now."

"Chuchu, you and I both know that she is not the second sister, but I don't allow others to bully her."

"To tell you the truth, I bribed the maid who beat Gu Qing and disfigured her face today. The second sister is too kind. I will do for her what she doesn't want to do."

Tears flashed in Chu Chu's eyes, and she spoke intermittently: "Miss San...you...you have really grown up."

"Gu Qingrong, just from the name, you can tell that Gu Shenzhi has high hopes for her. Now that her hopes have been shattered, Gu Shenzhi has to support me even if she doesn't want to."

"Miss is wise, I heard that madam and master are rushing from Yizhou to the capital non-stop."

"At the beginning, the second lady took his wife's cousin to Yizhou, and there was a gap between the wife and the master. Later, the eldest lady won the top three in the beauty examination, and the madam and the master settled their differences."

"In the past two years, the eldest lady has been in the limelight in Qifeng Pavilion, so the master loves his wife very much. I heard that my wife is two months pregnant."

"Madam is two months pregnant and has to travel far away. I don't know if she can keep this baby?"

Gu Yingxia listened for a while, and then expressed her thoughts.

"If I were her, I would definitely not come back to the capital this time. My daughter's face is ruined anyway. I should try to save the baby. As long as I keep the baby in my womb, no matter whether it's a boy or a girl, she can still sit firmly in the position of the Gu family's mistress."

"Madam is not reconciled. She will stay in Yizhou as the mistress of the Gu family for the rest of her life. She still counts on the eldest lady to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, and she will be taken to Beijing to be the imperial lady in the future."

"She has a good plan."

Gu Yingxia took off her makeup in front of the mirror, and Ah Qing helped her remove the silver hairpin from her head.

"Madam's tricks are exhausted, but it's just to make a wedding dress for the young lady."

Gu Yingxia's tone was firm: "Even without the wedding dress Mrs. Gu made for me, I can still marry the emperor in style.

On a passenger ship outside the suburbs of Beijing, Gu Shenzhi paced back and forth with his fists clenched.

Mrs. Gu supported her back and pressed her forehead with one hand, "Master, you should rest for a while, you have walked back and forth a thousand times, but you still can't grow wings and fly to Fengfeng Pavilion."

"Xie, there will be more time to rest in the future, if it doesn't work, the whole family will have to rest."

"Isn't there still a second child and a third child? If it doesn't matter, I still have one in my stomach."

"You are a woman, don't talk nonsense, you are beautiful and docile yet know how to be submissive. The emperor likes such a woman. Although Gu Yinwei is beautiful, she is a hard bone. Gu Yingxia's talent is mediocre, but it is hard to be successful."

"But now Qingrong's face is ruined."

"Treat her even if she loses her fortune."

"If we really go bankrupt, we will not be able to live well."

Gu Shenzhi pointed at Mrs. Gu and yelled, "It's all your fault for buying things indiscriminately. You dare to let Qingrong bring a poison like the black widow with you."

"I bought it from a Hu merchant to catch bedbugs. Who knew that Qingrong would secretly take it away."

"Master is right, Qing Rong's face will be cured even if the family goes bankrupt."

The husband and wife had a good discussion, and as soon as they entered Beijing, they went to the doctor to treat her illness, but Gu Shenzhi left with the people from the Ministry of Punishment after getting off the boat.

With a big belly, Mrs. Gu searched for inns one by one, arranging servants, carriages and luggage.

Gu Shenzhi didn't come back until sunset, and he blamed Mrs. Gu's inn for being too shabby, scolding her for spending too much money.

Mrs. Gu patiently explained: "Master, the prices in Kyoto are different from those in Yizhou."

"What's the difference? I think you're used to being extravagant and don't know how to be frugal. No matter how expensive things are in Kyoto, how can a bowl of sugar water be sold for fifty renminbi?"
