late night song

Chapter 169
I don’t know how Ling Buhuo persuaded his younger brother Ling Ziyu to agree to marry Princess Ran Ying with the ceremony of a princess, and went to Hehe in person to perform the ceremony of heaven and earth.

You know, in the past six months, Ling Ziyu has spent almost every day in the Northern Ling Shengyu General's Mansion, eagerly pursuing Shan Mingxi, the only daughter of General Shan. He also vowed to marry Shan Mingxi as the crown prince. Who knows? Suddenly he changed his mind and came to marry Princess Ran Ying of Hehe.

However, he already had a reputation for being a libertine, and everyone was not surprised.

In the end, the two countries decided to hold a wedding ceremony on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month next year.

It was less than two months before Lan Ye got married, and there was no distinguished old man in the palace, so the task of presenting the wedding and preparing the ceremony fell into Gu Yuchu's hands.She was busy dealing with various etiquette orders and procedures all day long, and she had little time to report to the military camp.

Gu Yuchu knew that Zhang Mengyi was Ouyang Qunfang's concubine, and Lan Yecai had a conflict with her because of her instigation at the Winter Solstice family dinner. She was very angry, so she suggested that Ouyang Qunfang's family members help with the wedding. Looking for an opportunity to teach Zhang Mengyi a lesson.

In order to ease the relationship with the royal family, Ouyang Qunfang naturally accepted the offer happily.However, Ouyang's wife, Mrs. Hu, claimed to be ill, so she recommended Zhang Mengyi to Gu Yuchu. An unexpected combination of circumstances played into her favour.

Zhang Mengyi was summoned to the palace by Gu Yuchu every day before dawn, and she was not released until the palace issued the key.

Every day, she either copied various gift lists or rehearsed various etiquette procedures on behalf of the princess.

After this easterly arrival, the weather has been extremely cold. It has snowed in the past few days, and my hands are freezing, let alone rehearsing the etiquette outdoors.The steps in front of the main hall of Yuquan Palace were so high, and the etiquette was revised back and forth, so she had to go up and down several times a day.

"Xiao Chu, you don't know it, but you are so cruel." Lan Ye held the heater and looked at Zhang Mengyi's purple lips from the cold, sighing.

"I feel bad, then go alone." Gu Yuchu said, holding his arms.

"I feel sorry for her? Bah, I wish the sky would strike immediately, who would let her sow discord!"

Lan Ye spat and said viciously, Gu Yuchu agreed with a smile.

But even so, she did not go too far. Half an hour before leaving the palace every day, she would arrange for the palace maid to deliver a large pot of rich ginger soup to Zhang Mengyi, and she would not allow any candied fruit to be passed through her mouth.

The palace maid said that it was because of the king's compassion that in order to prevent typhoid fever, he specially found an ancient ginger soup and gave it to her.Zhang Mengyi didn't dare to refuse, so she drank it every time. The ginger soup was used to drive away the cold, but the amount was too large and the spiciness was too strong, so she kept vomiting every time.

However, when she returned to the house, she was warm from head to toe, with no trace of cold at all. It was a great honor to attend the royal wedding. How could she dare to bury the hatchet with Ouyang Qunfang in vain, so she had to suffer this pain. Break your teeth and swallow them into your stomach.

Entering the palace before dawn again. After more than a month, Zhang Mengyi was a little overwhelmed.

After adjusting the etiquette and rehearsing it a few times, before taking half a stick of incense rest, Gu Yuchu forced her to go to the Chongming Palace to check the various jewelry for her wedding one by one.

There were only two of them in Chongming Hall. Gu Yuchu was responsible for counting and Zhang Mengyi was responsible for recording.

"A pair of gilt and ruby ​​phoenix steps."

"The crape myrtle flower and pearls are worth a set."

"Ten hawksbill hairpins from the two immortals."

"The first three pairs of impatiens and red gold hairpins"

"The green feathers and golden steps shake the crown with two crowns."

"Five crystal blue glazed necklaces with gold buckles."

"Seven amber double butterfly rings"

…………

Gu Yu reported quickly at first, but she gave Zhang Mengyi not a list, but a blank booklet. She asked her to copy down the jewelry reported on site one by one, and then take it back to compare with the already copied list. If there are errors, count them again.

This was unnecessary, and Zhang Mengyi knew very well in her heart that Gu Yuchu was deliberately teasing her these days. She had endured it without getting angry, but she really couldn't keep up with the speed of the words. Coupled with the grievances she had felt these days, she couldn't keep up. She burst out.

"Gu Yuchu, are you done yet!" Zhang Mengyi threw away the pen and booklet, furious. "Miss Ouyang, let's do business first. How did you get so angry?" Gu Yuchu replied with a smile.

"Business matters? Are you telling me that this is the time-consuming and labor-intensive method of counting jewelry?"

"Time-consuming and laborious? I don't think so." Gu Yuchu raised his eyebrows. Seeing her getting angry, he was in a good mood, "Ah, I forgot. The imperial concubine is used to instructing others, so she doesn't know how hard it is to do it herself."

"You did it on purpose!" Zhang Mengyi gritted her teeth and pointed at her nose.

"Yes, I did it on purpose. You are only allowed to make things out of nothing and sow discord, but you are not allowed to avenge me personally?" Gu Yuchu spread his hands. To deal with such a person, he had to retaliate in kind.

"You are so shameless!" Zhang Mengyi was so angry that her hands were shaking and she couldn't help but curse.

"You're shameless, but I'm not one-tenth of what you are. Tell me quickly, what are you doing in Hehe?" Gu Yuchu had nothing to do, so he tried to get something out of her.

"Didn't Qi Jian tell you?" Zhang Mengyi couldn't see her triumphant look and deliberately provoked her.

"You think I'm really stupid. Back then, Emperor Ming had no idea, so he sent you to the palace to test him. But now? He sends you to Ouyang Qunfang to spy on the enemy? Don't think you have a face similar to that of Concubine Yi. , just treat yourself as a person.”

What bothered Gu Yuchu the most was that she always used Qi frame as an excuse, as if he, like her, couldn't live without that man, so he stopped modifying it and just spoke out.

"you!"

Zhang Mengyi's face turned purple with anger. She picked up a hairpin and was about to stab her. Unexpectedly, Gu Yuchu tripped her and she fell heavily to the ground. The hairpin in her hand broke into two pieces.

At that moment, she lay on the ground and covered her stomach, curling up with her whole body, looking very painful.

Gu Yuchu squatted down and looked at her coldly.

"Stop acting. Every ten days you enter the palace, I will ask the female doctor to take your pulse. The pulse records are all recorded. You are in good health. Don't pretend to be here like you accidentally dropped the baby."

Zhang Mengyi remained unmoved, looking like she was dying of pain.

"Still pretending? Or do you want to be lazy? Then I'll let you do it." Gu Yuchu narrowed his eyes and had an idea in his mind.

"Come here, the weather is cold and the earth is shaking. The little lady of Ouyang Mansion has been bitten by the cold and has a bad stomach. Please send her back to the manor for support as soon as possible."

After receiving the command, the little eunuch outside the door quickly came in and carried Zhang Mengyi out, but before he could take two steps, Gu Yuchu continued to give instructions: "The Imperial Physician Qi has Sanlangen Decoction prepared in advance. After you drink it, it will be delivered to you." go back."

As a result, Zhang Mengyi was given so many bitter medicines that she vomited out the gallbladder.

She had just been sent back to Da Sima's Mansion, and before she had time to cry to Master Ouyang, the gift sent by Gu Yuchu from the inner prison arrived.

The gift was none other than Zhang Mengyi's broken hairpin paired with three other intact ones.

The jailer sent word that Princess Ran Qi sympathized with the young lady of Ouyang Mansion for her hard work for many days. During the jewelry inventory today, she saw that the young lady liked this set of jade hairpins very much, so she ordered someone to send it over.

He also said that during the inventory in Chongming Hall a few days ago, it was her lack of care that caused the young lady to almost fall. I am really sorry and I especially ask Mr. Ouyang for your forgiveness.

Ouyang Qunfang was very grateful and took the gift to Zhang Mengyi's bedside.

Zhang Mengyi burst into tears when she saw the hosta. She told all about how harshly Gu Yuchu treated her. Ouyang Qunfang could only comfort her. It was hard work to take care of the trivial matters in the inner courtyard of the palace, and the princess had already come to visit. Apologize, it would be even worse for him to say anything else.

For the first time, he began to mutter in his heart, how could his concubine, who came from a poor family, be so delicate? It was only because he had pampered her too much.
