Under the Empress Dowager, all members will be King

Chapter 6 I Want to Try Being a Queen Mother

Mrs. Gu knelt in the garden to worship the moon, crying to the moon, but unfortunately the moon did not respond to her, the moonlight shone on her, leaving a lonely shadow.

"Isn't this moment the reason for you?"

"Who, who is talking?"

Xiao Fengyu looked around, but there was no one there.

Gu Yinwei jumped down from the wall, she was not surprised by Xiao Fengyu's current situation, this is called the evil man will be tortured by the evil man.

But this was not enough, she planned to give Xiao Fengyu and Gu Shenzhi a big gift before entering the palace.

Chu Chu heard that Gu Yinwei was going to prepare a gift for the master, and asked enthusiastically, "Miss, what kind of gift are you going to prepare for the master?"

"a hat."

"Hats, as far as I know, the master has no shortage of hats."

"He lacks."

Footsteps sounded, Mrs. Chen came to deliver food to Gu Yinwei's master and servant. The food these days was either salty or bland, and Gu Yinwei didn't say anything.

Today, Gu Yinwei called her uncharacteristically: "Mrs. Chen, stop."

"Miss, is the food unpalatable? This food is cooked by the cooks, and the servants did not interfere."

What she said meant a lot, she blamed others, excused herself, both.

"Come and sit, I will give you some silver melon seeds."

For Qian's sake, Mrs. Chen sat down slowly.

"Grandma Chen, Mrs. Zhong was struck to death by lightning when she was taking me to the ancestral house. Don't you have resentment towards me?"

"The slaves dare not."

"You lied, you weren't honest."

Mrs. Chen hurriedly knelt down: "I really don't have such thoughts."

"Really not?"

"Slaves really don't exist."

"It's fine if you don't have one. I'm still thinking about your relationship with Mrs. Zhong, and I want to show you a way to make money."

"Miss, what kind of money?"

Mrs. Chen's eyes were shining brightly, looking at Gu Yinwei as if she saw mountains of gold and silver waving towards her.

"Why are you asking this? Didn't you just say you don't hate me?"

"Slave, slave..."

Chen Pozi felt like an ant, completely led by the nose by Gu Yinwei, being manipulated by others.

"Mrs. Zhong has a son who is known as a commoner poet. He is handsome. He is still unmarried and he can also repair flower walls. Yesterday, I heard from my third sister that the flower wall in my wife's yard was washed down by rain. Why don't you invite him to Gu's mansion?" Repair the flower wall for my wife."

"Second Miss, is this inappropriate?"

"What's wrong, my father goes out all the year round, and I can count the days on my fingers when I go home. Our three sisters are going to run for election soon, and my wife is alone. Find a flower wall repairer to talk about the local dialect. Wouldn't it be okay to listen to the long-lost local accent?"

"The monthly money for repairing the flower wall in the madam's courtyard is a full three taels. The new cook despises you. Don't you want to impress them, save more money, and return home in good condition."

"This... this is against the rules."

"Grandma Chen, you might as well be bold. Even if you want to please Madam again, Madam will give you the position of housekeeper at most. How much money a housekeeper can have a month? In the end, you are still a slave. If Grandma Zhong's son is lucky in the future, that is Monstrous wealth, let me tell you..."

Before Gu Yinwei could finish her sentence, Chu Chu called her away: "Miss, it's time to come back and change clothes, and Mammy Teacher Xi will be coming later."

In the middle of Gu Yinwei's speech, Mrs. Chen's appetite was hung up, and she came to talk to her several times, and even the food she brought became more delicate.

Three days later, Mrs. Chen came to look for Gu Yinwei again.

"Second Miss, I beg Second Miss for guidance."

"Mrs. Chen, let's play a crossword puzzle."

Chu Chu put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk, then unfolded a piece of white paper, and handed the pen to Mrs. Chen.

"Write it down, write down the silver tael number you want most, and let me see it."

Mrs. Chen tremblingly wrote fifty, Gu Yinwei was suspicious: "50 taels, gold?"

"No, no, it's 50 taels of silver."

Chu Chu turned her head and left, "Hmph, you are really worthless. If the lady asks me to write, I will write 5 taels. Anyway, the Gu family has a rich family property. Let alone 5 taels, it is 50 taels, even 500 million taels."

A maid in red clothes outside called Chu Chu to make tea, "Miss Chu Chu, don't dream in broad daylight, come and make tea."

"Come as soon as you come... When I have money, I'll buy a bunch of maids to wash my clothes and make tea for me."

Gu Yin waved his hand slightly, "Let's go, I won't play with you anymore, you are a timid person, wealth, fame and fortune are within reach, but you have no skills, let's go, I want to read a book."

"The Gu family has a rich family property, let alone 5 taels, even 50 taels, even 500 million taels."

These words echoed in Mrs. Chen's mind over and over again, and Mrs. Chen couldn't sleep.

Give it a go, and the servant will stand up and be the master of the house.

Money makes people courageous, such a huge sum of money, how can Mrs. Chen not be tempted.

After that, after some work, the gardener who was repairing the flower wall in the Madame's Court suddenly broke his leg, so Zhong Baishi became the new gardener in the Madame's Court.

As the name suggests, this gardener has a fair face and a modest attitude. He wears a long gown with a somewhat bookish look.

Outside the fence, he was explaining the habits of camellias to the little maids.

"This one is called Naidong, this one is called Yuming, and this one is a new variety I bred. I named it Qionghuaduixue."

The maids surrounded Zhong Baishi and asked, "Why do you know so much about camellias? The old gardener doesn't know as much as you do?"

"I woke up drunk under the camellia, but went to the West Village to watch the sunset. I have loved camellia since I was a child."

Zhong Baishi understood the purpose of Mrs. Chen's bringing him into the mansion. He loved famous flowers, and he also liked to hold big banquets, listen to music and drink flower wine.

In the past when Mrs. Zhong was still alive, he was still restrained, but now he is more unruly when no one restrains him.

Across the clumps of flower walls and fences, Gu Yinwei could smell the smell of tea from a distance.

Gu Yinwei and Gu Yingxia came to pay their respects to Mrs. Gu, but the other outsiders avoided her, so he rushed to say hello.

"My servant greets the ladies, hello to the second lady, and hello to the third lady."

Gu Yingxia said: "That man is too frivolous, I think he won't live for half a year, so he has to be a flower fertilizer in the soil."

Zhong Baishi really wanted to be appreciated by the two young ladies, so he rushed to curry favor, "I have newly cultivated a new plant called Cracking Beauty Noodles. I just sent it to my wife. The two young ladies will arrive soon after the flowers bloom. It is a good omen." .”

Gu Yinwei kept a reasonable fake smile and didn't answer.

"I was wrong, it won't take half a year, three months at most."

Zhong Baishi's pair of red phoenix eyes looked forward to Shenfei, and looked at the Bu Yao worn by Gu Yingxia on her head, as if secretly estimating the price,

Gu Yingxia hastily changed her words.

"Three months is too much praise for him, such a prodigal son who sleeps in flowers and willows, but he doesn't kneel down when he sees me, I just..."

This will drive him out, or this will end him.

"There are flies in Madam's yard, what are you worried about, Third Sister, anyway, the flies won't bite you."

Gu Yingxia is a smart person, she knows everything.

The two met Mrs. Gu. Although Mrs. Gu was lazy, she was full of energy. At this moment, she was looking at a camellia on the table in a trance.

"Madam is sick and needs to rest. These days, Yingxia and Second Elder Sister have been teaching Madam to learn the rules. It is really a sin not to be able to spare time to attend to Madam's illness."

"The draft is a major event for the Gu family. In the past two months, you don't have to come to pay your respects every day."

Gu Yinwei and Gu Yingxia replied in unison, "It's Madam."

Then quickly backed out.

On the way back, the two passed by the rockery, and Gu Yingxia asked, "Second sister, why did Mrs. Zhong offend you?"

"Mrs. Zhong didn't offend me. She was struck to death by lightning. Could it be that you think I can summon thunder?"

"My sister is just curious. Who did Mrs. Zhong provoke, so that she ended up with no descendants. Zhong Baishi is the only seedling of the Zhong family. Once he dies, the Zhong family will have no successors."

"If there are no males in the clan, then it will be considered dead. The Gu family is no different."

Zhong Yingxia's complexion changed, and her voice rose, "Don't talk nonsense, that's not what I meant."

"It's really boring to talk about other people's merits."

"Gu Yinwei, don't think that I don't know your plan. You lured Mrs. Chen, and then placed Zhong Baishi in the wife's courtyard with Mrs. Chen's hand. If Mrs. and Zhong Baishi took advantage of their father's absence, what would they do to insult the Gu family? The matter of the lintel will further affect my future, I will definitely strangle you to death."

"It seems that I picked a good person, and I actually made my third sister worry about it."

"Nonsense, I'm going to run for the election soon. My uncle's family has already taken care of everything and is waiting to pick me up as a noble concubine. If the Gu family fails at this juncture, both you and I will be implicated. You and Gu Qing Let the mother and daughter fight, don't harm the innocent, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what if, otherwise, I will be strangled to death, right? Hey! Third sister, after so many years, why do you still not know how to swear, and when you are in a hurry, you will only say one sentence to strangle you. Your vocabulary is really lacking. "

"Grandma Zhong did offend me, and I really want to make the Zhong family die. I like to cut grass and roots, so please try to mess with me."

Gu Yingxia's palms were sweating. At this moment, Gu Yinwei was so close to her, she could feel the hot breath from Gu Yinwei's mouth.

Gu Yinwei's eyes are very bright, black and shiny, like a wolf, and she is the prey of the wolf.

Such a beautiful face, such a calculating heart.

"What do you want to do? My maternal grandfather's family is a Beijing official. Although I am a concubine, I am not afraid of you."

"Third sister, in fact, I set up such a big game because of you."

"Hmph, for me, let's make it up."

"This is not the place to talk."

Gu Yingxia took Gu Yinwei back to the bedroom, and ordered the maid to close the doors and windows after pouring tea.

"hungry."

"Here, sweet-scented osmanthus cake, you like it."

Gu Yinwei didn't eat when he went out in the morning, so he's really hungry now.

"It's hard for the third sister, you still remember my preferences."

"A certain person likes to pester me every year when the sweet-scented osmanthus blossoms. This year, I thought that such a person would not come back. Who would have thought that such a person would be fatal and would come back with a full tail."

"Thank you, it smells so good."

"After we entered the palace, my father said that I would cut down all the osmanthus trees in the yard. I don't know if there are any osmanthus trees in the harem. If not, I have no ability to fly out of the palace and pick osmanthus flowers for you to make cakes."

"Bah bah, what do I tell you these things, you have such an ugly face, it's not sure whether you can choose or not."

"It turns out that the third sister misses me so much."

"Who misses you? It's just following my aunt's words and repaying the kindness given by my first wife."

"Aunt Fang is in good health."

"At the beginning, my aunt was seriously ill, and the doctors said that my aunt was not well. Fortunately, my late wife sent my aunt to Beijing for treatment. When my aunt saw a doctor, she happened to meet my uncle. Now she is living at her uncle's house in Kyoto. Naturally, she is very good."

Gu Yin slightly opened the window and looked at the osmanthus tree outside the window. When she was young, she and Gu Yingxia often played games around the osmanthus tree. Once they secretly climbed the tree and fell down.

When they were young, they fought when they met, and looked for each other when they didn't meet.

"Third sister, I actually know everything, I know everything."

"what do you know?"

"I know your difficulties. Your father raised a concubine, your aunt died of illness, and your aunt left. You must stand up on your own. You must pretend to be my enemy. You must be alone and helpless. Let Xiao Fengyu's mother and daughter mistakenly think that you are brave and foolish in order to survive. .”

"Believe it or not, I arranged for Zhong Baishi to enter the mansion because of you. Once my father knows that Xiao Fengyu has been unfaithful to him, all the contacts and steps that my father prepared for Gu Qingrong will belong to you. Although your uncle is a Beijing official, But you are a concubine after all, even if you will be given a dressing room at most after being selected, but if you can get the contacts that your father has managed for many years, you will be a beautiful woman when you enter the palace."

"Entering the palace is Shurong?"

Gu Yingxia repeated Gu Yinwei's words, and then remained silent. These words did not move her.

Chu Chu listened silently outside the door, then walked away quickly.

These two ladies can have eighteen hundred eyes in total, and the conversation is full of pitfalls. If you don't listen, you will have a headache if you listen too much.

"If it's really for me, you don't have to go through all this trouble."

"These days, no one believes the truth."

"If you don't speak well, I will strangle you to death."

"Let me tell you the truth, I don't just want to train you to be beautiful, I'm waiting for you to be a concubine."

Gu Yingxia poured herself a cup of tea, Gu Yinrong reached out to take it, and Gu Yingxia slapped her on the back of the hand.

"You have a good idea. I will fight with others. You are happy to be free. Is there such a good thing in the world?"

"Yingxia, you are our family's hope."

"I think you are waiting for me to kill the other concubines, and then you kill me. I started from Shurong and went all the way to Zhengfei. If you kill me, you will be the concubine directly."

"We are sisters, born from the same root, why kill each other, why not join hands."

"Your words reveal a bit of sincerity, the previous ones were just farting." Gu Yingxia fell into thought.

"With my appearance and the strength of my grandfather's family, I will die at most if I become a concubine. If you help me... No, why do you help me?"

"It has been said that you are the hope of the whole family, and you are my favorite third sister."

"Shut up and don't interrupt."

Gu Yingxia paced back and forth, thinking secretly.

She stroked her chin, and her gait was exactly the same as when Mrs. Xian was alive. It is no wonder that she was raised by Mrs. Xian when she was a child. This kind of cleverness can't match Gu Qingrong's flattery.

"But judging by your style of making others cut off your grandchildren as soon as you make a move, I think you have a little disdain for the position of imperial concubine. What do you want? Imperial concubine, imperial concubine, or empress?"

"I want to try to be the queen mother."
