Under the Empress Dowager, all members will be King

Chapter 21 The girl from the Gu family is bold

She listened carefully, and found that the kitten was hiding under a rock crevice on the rockery, and she climbed up with hands and feet.

Concubine Zhen shouted: "Don't die? You come back!"

"I'll help you save the cat."

Gu Yinwei reached out to catch the white cat, and she held the white cat in her arms. Gu Yinwei rescued the cat and jumped off the rockery.

Concubine Zhen stepped forward and asked with concern: "Is it not hurt?"

"Concubine Zhen, don't worry, the concubine is not injured."

Concubine Zhen took the cat from Gu Yinwei and invited her to sit in Changning Palace.

"It's all at the door, go in and have a cup of tea."

"The girls from your Gu family are bold. One dares to climb a tree and the other dares to climb a rockery."

"Oh, it turns out that Concubine Shu and her younger sister became friends because of climbing trees."

"Where did I expect her to be so courageous? That day I flew a kite along the palace wall, and the kite was hung on a tree. There were so many eunuchs and guards who couldn't do anything. She was a weak woman hugging the tree trunk, climbing up with a humming hum, and taking it out in twos and twos." Take the kite and return it to me."

"Xiaoyu, change the pot of jasmine tea for Gu Changyi, she may not be used to drinking sweet-scented osmanthus."

Xiaoyu replied: "Okay, I will change it now, servant girl."

Chu Chu hugged the cihuamao, her head was close to the cihuamao's head, smiling at the corners of her eyes and brows.

Bian Tao looked at the decoration of Changning Palace, and secretly observed the behavior of Concubine Zhen and Xiaoyu. The decorations in Concubine Zhen's Palace were more exquisite than those in the Queen's Palace. Wenge wood is used.

There is also a wooden frame next to the main hall, and many cat litters are spread on the frame, and several fat cats are climbing up the wooden frame with their legs.

The cat feeding bowls are five white porcelain bowls with sweet white glaze, and the bowls are painted with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. It seems that this set of porcelain comes from Ru kiln. Such rare porcelain can even be sold for thousands of taels of silver outside the palace. The price is high, but Concubine Zhen uses it to feed cats.

A cup of scented tea was held in front of Gu Yinwei, the flowers in the cup scattered with water, and the water temperature was just right.

Gu Yinwei picked up the teacup and sniffed lightly, the fragrance of jasmine spread from the tip of her nose, elegant and clear as if she was in the middle of flowers.

She took a sip of the tea, and the tea entered her throat, and her whole body suddenly became lighter, her internal organs were warm, her whole body seemed to be massaged by someone, and her tense nerves were relaxed.

"The jasmine flowers in the harem are not fragrant. Only the jasmine flowers here have a certain smell. There are five jasmine flowers planted in the backyard of Changning Palace, and this year they only get half a catty."

"The last time the queen came, I didn't even give her a drink."

Gu Yinwei wanted to say something thankful, but Concubine Zhen said: "I am a person who doesn't pay attention to rules. I don't like to talk about my palace and my palace, and I don't like others talking to me when they talk to me. Please help me!" Save the cat, I invite you to drink tea, no thanks."

"It's difficult for you to change clothes and live in the Cangzhu Palace. If you have any difficulties, you can go to the virtuous concubine. I have to feed the cat, so I won't accompany you for now."

Concubine Zhen got up and walked to the wooden frame where the cats were climbing, and a group of cats immediately stepped forward to surround her.

Gu Yinwei came out of Changning Palace and found a person sitting in the octagonal pavilion in front of him. The person was holding white pieces in one hand and black pieces in the other, playing chess with himself.

Standing beside her were Zhao Qian, Sun Li and four chess players. At the moment, none of them concentrated on studying the chess game, and they didn't notice that Gu Yinwei was passing by with the maid.

Concubine Zhen is obsessed with cats, and Concubine Jin is addicted to playing chess.

In the huge harem, apart from fighting, fighting, and fighting for favor, there are also people who live by their hobbies, and they live more freely and freely.

Chu Chu went back to the Cangzhu Hall with the little raccoon flower in her arms, and the woman in charge of the Cangzhu Palace wanted to ask Gu Yinwei for money, and said that the Cangzhu Palace did not allow cats.

Chu Chu replied: "This cat is a gift from the concubine Zhenfei of Changning Palace."

The mother-in-law refused to let her go: "Do you think it was a gift from the concubine Zhen? Who can prove it?"

Gu Yinwei fell into deep thought, Chu Chu was already crying from anger, and Ting Tao's fists were clenched tightly.

"This palace can prove it."

A tall woman came from the entrance of the alley. She was wearing a purple skirt and a large-sleeved shirt with golden sleeves. Behind her were two court ladies holding the clothes.

"The servant has seen the virtuous concubine."

Tian Tao pulled Gu Yinwei and bowed to the virtuous concubine, who smiled at her.

Then he sternly said to the old woman who was watching the gate: "I don't know that there are rules in the Cangzhu Palace. I would like to ask this aunt to take out the rules of the Cangzhu Palace for me to have a look at. I want to have a look. That palace rule stipulates Cats are not allowed in Cangzhu Palace."

"The servant is confused, and I beg the virtuous consort to forgive me."

The gatekeeper woman slapped her own face, and red marks appeared on her face, and then the noble concubine laughed: "That's all right, all right, but I'm just joking with you, it's just my own, you How come it's true."

The virtuous concubine stretched out her hand to help the old woman who was watching the door, and the old woman hurriedly stood up and bowed to apologize.

In terms of age, the mother-in-law is older than the noble concubine, and in terms of physical strength, the mother-in-law is far better than the noble concubine. The noble concubine laughed and scolded, but the wife bowed her knees and greeted her with a smile.

"Are you Gu Changyi? I often hear Concubine Zhen mentioning you. Let's drink tea together when I have time. I have important things to do in this Palace. Let me leave."

Gu Yinwei no longer needs Chu Chu to pull her to salute at this moment, her knees are already used to bending, and whenever Chu Chu Ting Tao salutes, before her brain has time to make a judgment, her knees bend first.

Thanks to the concubine Xiangui's rescue, Gu Yinwei was able to keep Little Lihua behind. Gu Yinwei accompanied Chu Chu to the water room to fetch water, and Qi Chang was also there.

This time she didn't grab Chuchu's position, but stood far away. Since the last time when Qi changed clothes in front of the palace and the queen refused to ask her to greet her, she seemed to have changed. Do not bully others.

After receiving the hot water, Gu Yinwei passed by Qi Changyi, Qi Changyi turned his head quickly, as if he was afraid to meet Gu Yinwei's eyes.

Gu Yinwei didn't look at her much, and went back to the room side by side with Chuchu.

The little raccoon flower's paws were soft, and Gu Yinwei was drawing, and it stretched out its paws, dipped in ink, and stepped on the paper, a bunch of small flowers formed when it stepped on it.

Gu Yinwei took out a spot in the middle of the red pen, and the paper was full of plum blossoms.

The little raccoon flower's soles were covered with ink, Gu Yinwei took out a soft cloth to wash it's feet, Tong Tao smiled and said, "Miss, you raise cats like you raise babies."

"Little baby, where is the little baby, it's clearly a little civet cat."

"Meow~"

The cihuamao rolled and ran after its own tail. Tired of running, it closed its eyes next to Gu Yinwei.

Chu Chu became bitter about this, and some cats snatched away their masters after raising them.

It started to rain again outside the window, the sound of the rain was beating on the eaves, Chu Chu got up and closed the door, the wind outside gradually died down, if the rain tended to last all night, in two hours, eunuchs would come to deliver the message, The eunuch told the gatekeeper's old lady that tomorrow's show girls don't have to go to Qiwu Palace to pay their respects, and the old lady will ring the copper bell.

"Jingle Bell."

The brass bell under the eaves was rang by a skinny hand, and the lights in many rooms were extinguished, and the beautiful women huddled in the quilts, or slept, or read with bedside lamps, or wrote letters to send letters outside the palace. .

Concubine Yi of the Chunxi Palace also received the news that she would not have to greet the Queen tomorrow, and her mood was not as brisk as the ladies of the Cangzhu Palace.

The emperor is about to return to the palace. At this juncture, the queen assigned her own tasks and canceled tomorrow's greeting. It can be seen that the date of the emperor's return to the palace is only three or two days away.

The queen pushed everything away, so naturally she had a lot of time to spend with the emperor.

The empress is really shrewd. Once the emperor comes back, she will hold on to him firmly. If the emperor doesn't come back, she won't let go of any power.
