famous eldest daughter

Chapter 741 Princess
The carriage of the Marquis of Chinan's Mansion stopped firmly in front of the palace gate. Gu Yuqing helped Jixiang Ruyi get off the carriage. The majestic and majestic palace city was covered with white curtains at this moment, and the north wind whimpered. Looking at it, it feels like the entrance to the underworld.

A guard appeared at the door. They had changed from their usual yellow guard uniforms. Each one was dressed in black, with a plain white belt tied around their waist. Their expressions were solemn, as if... they were really in grief.

His eyes seemed to fall on the face of the third guard from the left, their eyes met, and they hurriedly staggered. Holding the auspicious hand, Gu Yuqing walked toward the palace gate.

With just one look, Wei Qi told him that the letter he asked him to hand to Xiao Ke last night had been delivered.

On both sides of the bluestone corridor, there are vermilion palace walls and deep yellow glazed tiles. No matter how bright the colors are, they can't match the white color, which makes people feel depressed.

The leading maid had already spotted Gu Yuqing at a glance, stepped forward quickly, bowed her knees and led her all the way to the main hall where the queen's coffin was placed.

In the main hall, the princes, princesses, concubines and maids were all kneeling on the ground, and the sounds of sobs came and went.

Lowering her eyebrows and lowering her eyes, she quickly glanced at the concubines in the palace. Seeing that there was no Concubine Hui, Gu Yuqing's heart moved slightly. She followed the lead of the palace maids and walked to the coffin. She burned incense and worshiped, knelt down and kowtowed. From beginning to end, she was respectful and pious. There was a decent look of sadness on his face.

When the ceremony was over, the leading maid led her to the side where the princesses were kneeling, pointed to an empty spot, and asked her to kneel down.

Only then did Gu Yuqing realize that Xiao Jingyu was not there either.

She is the Queen's legitimate daughter, the only legitimate daughter, and the Queen is buried in the sky. No matter how unwell she is, as long as she is not in a coma, she should not show up.

Did Xiao Jingyu faint from grief, or something happened that she didn't know about...

Just as he was wondering, the two princesses murmured from behind, and Gu Yuqing couldn't help but pricked up his ears to listen.

"She's gone too far. Her own aunt didn't even come, so she made us kneel here in the middle of the night." The voice was a bit sharp, and even though it was deliberately lowered, it still couldn't hide the harshness.

"Okay, don't say it anymore. There are so many pairs of ears listening here. If you say this, you won't cause trouble for your mother and concubine again." The person who advised him spoke slowly and softly.

"Hmph! You are timid, you dare not do this or that, and you are cautious about everything. When the queen mother was alive, I didn't see how comfortable your mother and daughter are. Why don't you be called to reprimand by the queen mother over and over again? !"

"You...I kindly advise you. If you lose your temper with me, just talk about it. If you cause trouble, it's not me who will be implicated by you anyway." He said with anger.

Gu Yuqing heard the rustling of clothes. Although she didn't look back, she guessed that it was the princess who had failed to persuade others and moved away in anger.

"Are you angry? Don't be angry. I said the wrong thing. Why don't I apologize? Who do you think I am unhappy for? It's not for you. You have a fever right now, and your body is as hot as coals. The medicine I don’t even have time to eat, so I have to kneel here. The disease is so urgent that I don’t even have time to recuperate. How can I withstand this? If you ask me, you should be like Concubine Hui and just call it a disease."

Gu Yuqing couldn't help but be surprised when she heard the person with the sharp voice say such words again.

"Are you talking nonsense again? How can I compare with Concubine Hui? She was bedridden and bedridden as early as a few days before my mother's funeral. But I suddenly had a fever last night. If I said I was sick, I'm afraid everyone would Everyone will think that I can't bear the hardship and deliberately pretend to be sick. When the time comes, I don't know how many troubles I will cause to my mother and concubine. It's okay. When I take a break, you can help me keep an eye on it and I'll just go and take a rest. ."

He is a sensible child, but something like a fever is so easy to delay.

No matter whether the condition is serious or not, as long as it is an emergency and high fever, it will be fatal if you are not careful, doesn't she know?
Or even though I know, I don't want to cause trouble.

Listening to their conversation, Gu Yuqing was originally concerned about the part about Xiao Jingyu in their words, but now, she felt a little awkward, and couldn't help turning her head slightly to see who the two princesses were.

As soon as he came into view, he saw a pair of little princesses who were only about four or five years old, side by side, lowering their heads and frowning, not noticing her gaze, and still talking in a low voice.

"Let me tell you, you don't have to be like this. The queen mother won't jump out of the coffin. Why are you so afraid? Who will blame you at this time! If I were you, I would definitely be bedridden. !" The speaker was the one with the sharp voice. Looking at her delicate chin and cherry-red mouth, Gu Yuqing recognized at a glance that she was the tenth princess under Concubine Li's knees.

And beside her, the one who spoke softly and opened her mouth to answer, "Don't persuade me, just leave it like this!" was the eleventh princess under Qi Concubine's knees.

The two princesses are both four years old this year, but one was born in March and the other in November.

Gu Yuqing couldn't help but shake her head with her adult-like tone. Even children were really not immune to this dye vat in the palace.

It is said that children from poor families take charge of the family early, but children in the palace also have to realize that life is not easy and survival is not easy.For their livelihood, they even have to pay more than those children from poor families.

Just like Xiao Yu, if he hadn't pretended to be crazy and acted like this in front of the world, he would have died countless times!
Thinking of this, Gu Yuqing sighed.The words Xiao Yu said in front of her at night echoed in her ears, "Being an emperor may not be such a good thing, but you also need the Sangong and Sixth Courtyards, even the rain and dew..."

He didn't want to proclaim himself emperor and ascend the throne, not only because he wanted to give this country to Xiao Yan, but also because he really didn't want to sit in the position of the ninth-five-year-old.

He didn't want her to be trapped in the treacherous whirlpool of the harem, and he didn't want their children to suffer the same frights and hanging on a thread that he had suffered.

And she herself, to be fair, is naturally not willing to share a man with others, and she has to act generous and virtuous. She is not a saint!

Warmth flowed in the tip of his heart, and he couldn't help but raise his head slightly and look sideways towards the prince in front of him.

With just one glance, she found the warm figure from behind among all the white clothes.

Because of this warm current, the time spent kneeling seemed to fly by very quickly. Before I could feel my knees going numb, I heard the melodious voice of the chamberlain above my head.

Wu Lala said something, which probably meant that everyone could rest for a while and wait until the bell rings later to kneel down again.

The low whimpering in the ears suddenly stopped. As the clothes rustled, everyone supported each other and stood up. It was already daylight, and Gu Yuqing stood up. He suddenly felt dizzy because he had been kneeling for a long time. I was dizzy and unsteady on my feet. I staggered and felt someone holding me from behind. I immediately turned around to look.
