famous eldest daughter

Chapter 416 Notification
"Child, what's going on? The sun is about to set, but you come out covered in sweat. Look at this little face. It's so red. I don't know. I thought you ran all the way." He greeted Gu Yuqing. , while holding her hand and walking towards the inner room, Concubine Hui said with an angry smile, her expression was extremely affectionate.

Thinking of the words of Concubine Hui in the Chenxiang Pavilion that day, and the words of the Empress Dowager today, Gu Yuqing couldn't help but flushed. She only had something important to worry about, and she didn't care about being shy. She glanced at the inner palace and said to Concubine Hui He said: "My queen, I have something to say to you in private."

It was straightforward and without euphemism.

Accustomed to talking around in the palace, when she heard her straight to the point, Concubine Hui was taken aback for a moment, and then she came to her senses after a while, but she let out a snort of laughter, "My child, what's urgent, you just say That’s right, they’re just out of the way.”

The implication is that the people serving you right now are all trustworthy confidants.

Gu Yuqing pursed her lips and glanced at the maids.

These people all had lowered eyebrows and lowered their eyes. In their memory, after the sudden death of Concubine Hui in the previous life, there were indeed no faces of them in the queen's presence.

With a sigh of relief hanging in her heart, Gu Yuqing detailed what she had just seen. Just in case, she didn't miss even a single detail. "...This is a serious matter, and I must respond as soon as possible."

Concubine Hui couldn't help but look solemn as she listened, "This humble maid, I noticed that she was cheating on her early on, but I didn't expect that she would climb such a high branch. If she wants to cling to the queen, it depends on whether I agree."

Holding the silk handkerchief in a tight fist, Concubine Shu turned around and ordered the maid beside her, "When she comes back, bring her here quietly. In a hurry, don't scare the snake, let alone attract the attention of others."

The court lady got the order, turned around and left.

After she left, Concubine Hui turned her head and looked at Gu Yuqing again, with a smile on her face, "Good child, thanks to you today, otherwise, Yu'er and I don't know what we would face!"

Gu Yuqing pursed her lips and shook her head.

Concubine Hui lamented in front of her without hesitation: "The palace is full of flowers, and those who have not yet entered the palace are envious of them. But once you enter the palace, you will know what is the dragon's pond and the tiger's den. "

When she spoke, the desolate look in her eyes was rich and sticky, like an amber wrapped in a thick gray fog.

Gu Yuqing's heart trembled slightly.

This is true even for people who are favored like Concubine Hui, let alone others.

However, she didn't understand others.

Just seeing the miserable look on Concubine Hui's face, I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart. I wanted to say something to comfort her, but I didn't know what to say. I just sat there holding the handkerchief and lowering my head, with gloomy eyes and a sad heart.

Concubine Hui sighed a few times and turned her eyes to see Gu Yuqing like this. She couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. A smile appeared on her lips and she reached out to stroke Gu Yuqing's hair, "You kid, I just sighed a few words casually. You should take it seriously. Can I still live a bad life? If I live a bad life, others will not even have a good life."

Gu Yuqing pursed her lips and raised her eyes to look at Concubine Hui.

The magnificent woman, with a kind smile in her eyes, looked at her as if looking at her own daughter. The warm palms touching her head reminded her of her mother's pampering when she was young.

But in the depths of her eyes, she could see clearly, it was clearly a kind of helplessness and resignation after despair.

Accept your fate... Once you enter the palace, no matter what kind of woman you were before, from now on, you will have to have your hands covered with blood in order to survive.

What's more, the favored concubine Hui not only increases her status day by day, almost standing side by side with the queen, but also protects Xiao Yu from any harm along the way. Behind this, the heartbreaking efforts she has put in, even if If you think about it, Gu Yuqing can also understand it.

Her opponent is another empress who is as scheming as the empress and has all kinds of tricks.

As she spoke, the wooden door of the palace was pushed open with a creak. Gu Yuqing's eyelashes trembled slightly. She turned her eyes towards the door and saw Concubine Hui's personal maid leading the maid who was talking to the Queen's personal maid in. .

At this moment, she still didn't know what she was going to face. She walked up to Concubine Hui in a few steps. Her eyes briefly glanced at Gu Yuqing's face. She lowered her eyebrows and bowed her eyes. She saluted and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"

Who could have imagined what kind of black heart is wrapped under this respectful skin.

Concubine Hui was sitting on the bed with Gu Yuqing and talking. At this moment, she let go of Gu Yuqing's hand, helped the palace maid beside her to get up, walked to the wooden chair leaning against the wall, and sat down.

On the table at hand, someone immediately brought a cup of hot tea, picked up the teacup, and put it to his mouth. Through the dense mist, he gently opened his vermilion lips, blowing away the layer of tea foam on the surface, but the tea was blown away again. He took the tea cup away and said, "Come to my side and talk."

The voice was leisurely, without any trace of anger.

After hearing this, the palace maid hurriedly moved her body on her knees, from facing Gu Yuqing directly to facing Concubine Hui directly, with a ninety-degree angle of view from Gu Yuqing.

When she had just knelt down, Concubine Hui slowly leaned forward, and the tea cup in her hand moved slowly until it was in front of her.

The tea smell was wafting, blurring the maidservant's vision, and she felt a little uncomfortable in the heat, but this discomfort was not worth the slightest bit of panic in her heart.

After being stunned for a moment, the palace maid hurriedly shrank her neck and turned away from the tea cup in front of her, kowtowed and said: "I don't know what crime I have committed, please punish me."

Gu Yuqing looked at her coldly, but he was smart and obedient. Knowing that something was wrong, he immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.

No wonder he was chosen by the queen and sent to Xiao Yi's bed in his previous life.

Concubine Hui smiled faintly, "Since you don't know what crime you have committed, why do you ask me to punish you? Could it be that in your heart, I am the villain who punishes the servants without asking questions?"

Her voice was neither high nor low, even soft and gentle, but it had an aura that made people tremble with fear.

"Your Majesty has always been kind, but I must have made a mistake without knowing it, which is why I am like this." The maid kowtowed repeatedly.

Concubine Hui laughed out loud, "That's it? I don't understand, what is that? What have I done to you? Let you say such a thing!"

The palace maid's kowtowing movement suddenly stopped, and in the blink of an eye, the sound of her forehead hitting the ground became louder, "Your Majesty is kind, but this slave made a mistake, and this slave is guilty."

Perhaps because the hand holding the tea cup was a little sore, Concubine Hui handed the tea cup to the waiting maid, asking her to continue to maintain her position and hold the steaming tea cup to the maid who was kneeling to plead for mercy. forehead.

She herself leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, supported the armrest with one hand, and said: "Since I am kind, why do you betray me and be loyal to the queen? It can be seen that it is better than Bengong." The Queen is here, but she is not as good as the Queen!"
