The first Hades

Chapter 72 The emperor mentioned, a deal 2
Just thinking about it, the girl in red had already walked in front of her, and said coldly: "Gu Qianjin, follow me! The queen mother has attainments, and I call you to the Longevity Palace to meet the queen mother."

"Okay." Gu Qingluan replied casually, and had no choice but to follow the girl in red out of the emperor's side hall.

After crossing the threshold, she realized that Dongfang Ze was no longer outside the door, presumably she went to the imperial study with the emperor.

She has so many people to meet today!Even Lafayette wants to see her, but what kind of character is this Lafayette?I hope you don't look like the queen and concubine Tian.

"Miss Hongyu, how old are you?" Gu Qingluan asked without words while walking, looking at the scenery in the corridor.

Miss Hongyu didn't seem to expect that she would ask such a question, so she replied, "Sixteen." After just two words, Miss Hongyu didn't say anything.

After walking out of the East Side Hall, she followed Miss Hongyu for a long time, until she reached the Longevity Palace of the Empress Dowager, Miss Hongyu said, "Here we are!"

When Gu Qingluan raised his head suddenly and saw the words "Longevity Palace", he realized that this place is actually a little far away from the emperor's imperial palace, and this longevity palace is not only remote, but also the building is a little more ancient, elegant and nostalgic compared to the imperial palace some.

Miss Hongyu said to Gu Qianluan who was looking around: "The Queen Mother is waiting inside, don't look around, the Queen Mother doesn't like people who don't pay attention when they talk."

"Oh? Then what kind of person does the Empress Dowager like?" Gu Qingluan hurriedly followed, humbly asking for advice.

Although she is not used to pleasing others, for an elderly lady, she is still willing to please her, and she accidentally offended a Buddha again.

Besides, it was out of kindness for Miss Hongyu to remind her like this, right?

Miss Hongyu said: "Lafayette likes children who tell the truth, and hates others pretending to be smart. Just like that, don't try to play some yin and yang tricks under Lafayette's nose."

"Oh! Thank you, Miss Hongyu, for your reminder. I am definitely a child who tells the truth." Gu Qingluan gave a rare mischievous smile, and stuck out the tip of his tongue.She survived the catastrophe, even if she saw Lafayette, what does it matter?Even if she saw the Jade Emperor at this moment, she would not take it seriously.

Miss Hongyu didn't say anything more, she took Gu Qingluan directly into the inner hall to meet the Empress Dowager Helianara.

Seeing the Queen Mother, Gu Qingluan's legs softened, and he knelt down automatically and consciously.

Gu Qingluan was never so afraid when he saw the queen and the emperor before.

However, after only one glance at the queen mother, she felt that her legs and feet were a little weak, and she knelt very quickly.

The queen mother should be about 60 years old.

A head of silver-threaded white hair is combed into an ancient palace bun, and there are many complicated ornaments on the temple, one of which looks like a phoenix is ​​inserted on the left temple, and this ornament alone is extremely noble .

The clothes are not as gorgeous and dazzling as the queen's, but are simple in color, wearing a soft silk silver bright court toga with gold thread, and knotted at the waist.It seems simple, but the material is extremely exquisite, the workmanship is fine, and the simplicity is extremely noble.

The most intimidating thing is her appearance, imposing manner, not angry but intimidating so that people dare not look at her directly.That face has an open sky and a round earth, as if it should be the queen mother's face by nature.

A pair of big eyes, the tails of the eyes are slightly lifted, and the eyes are menacing and piercing. A woman in her 60s does not look old at all.

Those facial features are really better than any actress who played the queen mother on TV. I don't know how gorgeous she was when she was young!

Gu Qingluan knelt in front of her, and kowtowed to her automatically: "The folk girl Gu Qingluan kowtowed to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is a thousand years old!"

Gu Qingluan found out that after she just glanced at the queen mother, Helian Nala, she knelt down without even daring to take a second look at the palace where the queen mother was.

Because the Empress Dowager is too powerful!
Until, the Queen Mother's voice resounded flatly above her head: "Gu Qianjin, raise your face and let Aijia see."

Only then did Gu Qingluan slowly raise his small face, and without daring to blink, he looked at the queen mother with cold eyes, watery, and secretly glanced at the queen mother's palace from the corner of his eyes.

This palace is spacious and bright. Apart from the luxury of the royal family, it is quite classic, elegant and refined, and it is also resplendent and magnificent.

Among those decorations, she only glanced at the rare treasures on the table, and the Jade Guanyin placed in the corner of the room alone made people feel that it was priceless.

Gu Qingluan didn't dare to look more, because she remembered that Miss Hongyu said that the queen mother doesn't like children who don't pay attention.

The Empress Dowager's gaze fell on Gu Qingluan's face, and after studying it carefully for a while, she nodded her head and said slowly: "Gu Qianjin, I heard from the Ai family that you can control the blue bird, and you also got a nine-tailed bird." Little white fox, is there really something wrong?"

The Empress Dowager's voice was gentle, neither too cold nor too enthusiastic, but soft and tactful, which made people feel comfortable.

When Gu Qingluan heard that the queen mother mentioned the blue bird and the nine-tailed fox, her scalp went numb for a while.

She had no choice but to answer straight: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, Minnv once controlled the blue bird, but after it flew away, it never came back. As for the little white fox with nine tails, it is actually a cute little white fox with a tail There were indeed nine forks. Now, that too is gone."

The queen mother's meaning is unclear, she doesn't want to involve the blue bird and the little white fox.These people circled around, talking about the blue bird and the little white fox.

They are obviously just two small animals with relatively spiritual surnames, but these people seem to be full and support them, and they are involved, as if the two small animals have affected the national destiny of the entire Great Zhou Kingdom.

Outrageous!

Perhaps, the ancient people just believed in these inexplicable superstitions, which is the uncivilization caused by the blind spots of science that has been backward for thousands of years.

"Well," the Empress Dowager asked after pondering for a while, "Do you mean that you can neither summon the blue bird nor find your little white fox?"

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Gu Qingluan thought, finding the little white fox was killing the little white fox.If you call the blue bird, you have to marry one of the queen mother's grandsons and become a noble concubine in the palace.

Why bother?
Within a day, she met the queen, concubine Tian, ​​the emperor, the queen mother...

She doesn't like everyone in the palace very much.

Even if it is the queen and concubine Tian, ​​she absolutely does not want to marry their sons and have a mother-in-law relationship with them.And if she becomes Wei Wang's concubine and becomes enemies with those two women, then she will fight endlessly. Will there be a good life in this life?

How can I escape the fate of this princess without losing my head?

The Empress Dowager's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she lightly pressed her right hand on the table and said, "Gu Qingluan, you kid, are you going to lie in front of Ai's family?"

Gu Qingluan was slightly startled, bowed his head and said: "Qingluan dare not! Why did the Queen Mother say this? Qingluan's words are true, how dare you lie to the Queen Mother!"

The queen mother retorted in a logical manner: "Since the blue bird can be your mount, you should be able to summon it at any time. Since the little fox is your treasure, there is no reason why you can't find it. What you said just now was not a lie. What else can Aijia be? Does Gu Qianjin think that Aijia is getting old, so he can talk nonsense and make fun of Aijia?"

Gu Qingluan, who was about to stand up, knelt down again.

She had to rack her brains to come up with a reasonable argument: "Queen Mother, Gu Qingluan can ride on it. It was on Tianying Mountain. I fell from a high place, and the blue bird suddenly appeared to save me and humped me. Once. But I can't control and summon it at will. The little white fox suffered an eye injury, I helped it heal the eye injury, so it followed me. However, in the Queen's place, everyone wanted to catch it, it I ran away. So many people failed to find it, and I don’t know where it hid. The queen mother also knows that those are two small animals, not human beings, and they can’t understand human language, right?”

The empress dowager's face became angry, and just as she was about to say something, a little palace lady hurried in.

Miss Hongyu stopped the little maid, who whispered a few words in Miss Hongyu's ear.

So Miss Hongyu passed the message to the Queen Mother again, and said in front of the Queen Mother: "Report to the Queen Mother, Xia Houyuan from the Sitian Supervisor asks to see you."

The Queen Mother glanced at Gu Qingluan, nodded and said, "Show him in!"

"Yes."

After a while, Xia Houyuan of the Sitianjian came in with a bow, walked up to the Empress Dowager and knelt down to worship.

"The humble minister Xia Houyuan kowtowed to the queen mother! The queen mother is a thousand years old!" After Xia Houyuan shook off his sleeves, he knelt down on the ground.

"Get up! Xia Houyuan, have you made any new discoveries?" the Queen Mother asked.

Xia Houyuan turned his head and glanced at Gu Qingluan, seemingly hesitating to speak.

The Empress Dowager changed her words suddenly, and ordered Hongyu: "Hongyu, you take Gu Qianjin to the next door, and after Ai's family finishes asking Xiahouyuan later, you bring her here again."

"Yes! Lafayette." Hongyu agreed, and took Gu Qingluan to the next door.

After Gu Qingluan left, the Empress Dowager waved her hand to Xia Houyuan and said, "Tell me! Is there a new omen in the astrology?"

Xia Houyuan hurriedly replied: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, when I watched the stars last night, I did have a new omen. Huanglong's star suddenly turned from dark to bright, shining brilliantly, and showed Huanglong's position in the palace .”

"Huanglong is in the palace? Ai Jia still remembers that you said last time that the astrology did not show this location. Now, what do you mean, is Huanglong the three princes of our Great Zhou? Who would it be? How can we be sure?"

Xia Houyuan said: "Reporting to the queen mother, not only the astrology of the yellow dragon is bright, but also the astrology representing the blue bird and the phoenix are shining brilliantly."

"Could it be because of Gu Qingluan?" The Empress Dowager said with a brilliance in her eyes, "Look... this blue bird Phoenix could be the right-hand man, the third young lady of Gu Qianjin?"

"Reporting to the queen mother, this possibility is very high. If she is the blue bird Phoenix, the queen mother can ask her which prince she likes. The one that the blue bird Phoenix loves must be the incarnation of the yellow dragon." Xia Houyuan of Si Tianjian said confidently.

"This is...for sure?" The queen mother was very superstitious about Xia Houyuan.Although her tone was a question, she seemed to be convinced of it.

"The premise is that she must be the reincarnation of the blue bird Phoenix. If she is the reincarnation of the nine-tailed fox, whoever she likes will be the bane of the country." Xia Houyuan added.

"Hmm...do you have any other celestial phenomena to report?"

"No more, Queen Mother."

"Then back off first!"

"Wei Chen retire."

Gu Qingluan was brought back in front of the Empress Dowager again, standing there, he really didn't want to kneel down at every turn, but had to kneel down straight again, waiting for the Empress Dowager's question.

The queen mother put on her wide sleeves, her expression was neither hot nor cold, and her voice was neither hot nor cold and she opened her lips again and asked: "Gu Qingluan, I heard from Ai's family that you are with the queen, and you speak out loudly and refuse to marry the three princes. Now , Aijia promises you, as long as you really like it, no matter which prince you choose, Aijia will do everything for you!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingluan suddenly raised her head, her beautiful eyes widened!She couldn't believe it, why did the Queen Mother treat her so favorably?This should be a generous gift to an ancient woman, but she is not an ancient woman.
