Rebirth: Return to Houfu

Chapter 71

It was beyond Gu Fangling's expectation that he would be summoned by the palace.In her previous life, she was not destined for the imperial palace, and she has never thought about it in this life.But it seemed that Wei Qingmo was secretly planning something for her?
Sighing softly in her heart, Gu Fangling had to admit that she owed too much favor to Wei Qingmo invisibly, and she still didn't know it.

"The second girl is entering the palace for the first time, so there are bound to be many rules that she doesn't know. Try to do as much as possible and talk less. I really don't know how to deal with it, so I just knelt down and saluted..." When Su Shi was young, she was lucky enough to enter the palace once. .But that time was just a formality, and not many people really saw it.At this moment, even if she wanted to provide Gu Fangling with experience as a reference, it was not realistic.

Su's expression was obviously not as arrogant as in the past, even though she hid it well, Gu Fangling could see that she was somewhat guilty.Regarding this, Gu Fangling didn't expose it, but just lowered her head and agreed.

In fact, when it comes to the palace, Gu Fangling cherishes his life more than anyone else.Not to mention Su's repeated reminders, even without anyone's reminder, Gu Fangling herself would not dare to be careless.

It was not Lan Yan who accompanied Gu Fangling into the palace, but Madam Su.The purpose is to teach Gu Fangling as much as possible on the road, and also to do everything possible to prevent accidents from happening.However, their worries seemed superfluous. Gu Fangling did not make any mistakes until she stood outside the gate of the queen's palace.

But when she got here, Madam Su had to stop.In front of him is the empress's palace, so Nanny Su couldn't help but follow her into it.

Grandma Su didn't feel surprised that she would be stopped outside.But what puzzled her was that the person standing beside her didn't seem to be from the palace either?Could it be that there are other people in the queen's bedroom who are also seeking to see her at this time?

Madam Su guessed correctly, as soon as Gu Fangling entered, she heard laughter and laughter from the back room.With a very familiar crisp voice, Gu Fangling had no doubt that the other two who arrived earlier than her were old acquaintances.

"Hey, Second Miss Gu is here. Even when she greeted the empress, she pushed back and forth, and her movements were slow. Who is this showing? I don't know that we have been waiting with the empress for a long time?" Seeing Gu When Fang Ling appeared, a hint of hatred quickly flashed in Wei Qian's eyes, and the words she said were really malicious.

If it weren't for Gu Fangling, Big Brother Qin wouldn't always be alienated from her, let alone speak coldly to her.It's all Gu Fangling's fault!Wei Qian swore that she would never allow herself to forget the humiliation that Gu Fangling brought to her.Moreover, it will definitely be returned a thousand times.

"Xiaoqian, don't talk nonsense. Second Miss Gu will inevitably feel nervous when she enters the palace for the first time. A little delay on the way is not a major fault. As long as you don't continue to make mistakes in the future. After all, let the empress Waiting for a long time is a serious crime, and you will lose your head." Sun Wenfei pursed her lips and smiled, and looked at Gu Fangling with a bit of coldness.Gu Fangling's ability is getting stronger and stronger for her aunt to summon her specially!

Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei sang together, it seemed that they were just joking, but the deep meaning in their words could not be ignored.Gu Fangling's heart was awe-inspiring, and she immediately raised her guard.She was not afraid of what Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei would do to her, but she was worried that if she touched the empress's taboo, she would cause unstoppable anger.

Fortunately, the empress was not provoked by Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei's words, she just looked at Gu Fangling intently, without showing much displeasure on her face.On the contrary, the glances at Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei became more playful: "What are you two girls talking about? Don't scare Miss Gu."

As the mother of a country, the queen lives in the harem all year round, and the intrigues and dark oppressions she has experienced have always been hard to guard against.Such obvious tricks as Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei's will not arouse the queen's calculations at all.However, the queen is still very interested in how Gu Fangling will respond next.

Gu Fangling didn't respond much, neither showing a look of panic and fear, nor rushing to fight back immediately.He just raised his head, smiled at Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei in a friendly manner, and then lowered his head.

Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei's complexions turned dark at the same time, as if punching cotton.Gu Fangling has become so calm after not seeing her for a few days?Seeing that they failed to stir up trouble, it really made the two feel unwilling.

The queen immediately laughed.She was more optimistic about Gu Fangling's calm demeanor than Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei's imperfectly hidden thoughts.Women in the inner courtyard of the palace can be simple and simple, or they can be scheming.It only depends on who lives longer and more freely, and that is the final winner.

So far, the queen is half a winner.When the crown prince Wei Qingmo successfully ascends the throne, she will be the one who laughs last in the harem after securing her position as queen mother, and she will have no regrets in her entire life.

And Wei Qingmo, from childhood to adulthood, never let her down.Except for the sneaking out of the palace in the 25th year of Xuanyuan, which almost scared the queen to death, there was no further disturbance.

Therefore, the queen is grateful from the bottom of her heart to Gu Fangling who saved Wei Qingmo's life.The queen has sent people to inquire about the various rumors about Gu Fangling, and at the same time, she has her own thoughts and opinions.

Compared with Chen Ziyun, the current wife of the Marquis of Guhou, the queen is obviously unconditionally biased towards Zhou Wanrou, the wife of the Ming matchmaker.Not to mention that Zhou Wanrou is the main house in the Gu family tree, but just mentioning the outstanding military exploits of General Wanwei when he was alive, it is enough for the queen to take good care of Zhou Wanrou and Gu Fangling.

Although the royal family would not easily intervene in the back houses of their courtiers without authorization, it was a bit too much for the Gu Hou Mansion to mercilessly force the young Gu Fangling to his death when General Wan Wei's bones were still cold.

Even though the heir of Gu Changlin is still there, Gu Fangling is also the bloodline left by General Wanwei... Guhou's mansion is so dishonest, cruel and ruthless.If it spreads out, wouldn't it dampen the sincerity of the border soldiers?

Not to mention, Gu Fangling actually saved Wei Qingmo's life.So much so that she has more weight in the eyes of the queen.

The prime minister's mansion had resigned, the Holy Majesty had mentioned it to the queen.Also being a woman, the empress felt the humiliation and embarrassment that Gu Fangling encountered better than the Holy Majesty, and she also had quite a few criticisms.I can't blame the Holy Majesty's golden words, and promised to let Gu Fangling choose a good son-in-law by himself.This is what Gu Fangling deserves!

It's just that the holy majesty had good intentions, but it seems that he accidentally gave some villains an opportunity to take advantage of it?The queen would not simply think that the young master of the Chen family really loved Gu Fangling, so she became malicious.Yancheng is at the foot of the prince. In a deep inner courtyard like Guhou's Mansion, if Chen Junbao dares to do something, he must have a lot of support.

The prince came back and said that it was Chen Ziyun and Gu Fangyao's writing, and Chen Junbao was just an accomplice in pushing things along.The queen didn't feel surprised at all when she heard it, but nodded seriously.Only in this way can it make sense, and the reasons before and after are straightened out in an instant.

The purpose of calling Gu Fangling into the palace today is because of the order of the Holy One, and it is also the request of the Crown Prince.The Holy One is her husband, the prince is her son, the only two most important men in this world invite her to come forward at the same time, the Empress will never refuse anything.

As for Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei's entering the palace, it was purely their own initiative.Whether it was a coincidence or not, the two knew it well, and the queen was not easily deceived.

"Your servant has met the empress, please greet the empress." Gu Fangling's voice kneeling on the ground to greet the empress recalled the empress's thoughts that were gradually drifting away, and in exchange for Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei's snorts.

From Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei's point of view, Gu Fangling, whose reputation has been ruined right now, is no longer a threat.However, the existence of Gu Fangling itself was a very irritating thing, to the extent that Wei Qian became furious whenever Gu Fangling's name was mentioned, and even Sun Wenfei felt the same hatred for Gu Fangling, the troublemaker.

"Please get up quickly. I have long heard the name of the second lady of Guhou's mansion who is a womanizer, and I finally got to meet her today. She really deserves to be the granddaughter of General Wanwei. She has a certain amount of advance and retreat, and she is full of extraordinary aura." Staring at Gu Fangling with smiling eyes, the queen's tone was very gentle, which was unexpected by everyone present.

Gu Fangling did not expect that the queen not only had no malice, but also took the lead in showing favor to her.As for Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei, they looked at Gu Fangling dumbfounded, and they couldn't find the so-called aura from Gu Fangling.

However, since the empress said so, it is the truth.Gu Fangling wouldn't be ignorant, but Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei didn't have the guts to refute the Queen's words openly.It's just what a few people think in their hearts, and the wise see the wisdom.

"The Holy Majesty mentioned to Bengong about Miss Gu's bravery in hunting before, and even made fur collars for the rabbits that Miss Gu personally hunted. It is really warm and comfortable. Bengong has always wanted to meet Gu Er in person. The Second Miss thanked her, but she was suffering from not being able to find the opportunity. Today I can count as my wish, and I met the Second Miss Gu." The Queen's seemingly casual words all announced that the Holy Majesty and her treat Gu Fangling differently.Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei couldn't help frowning secretly when they heard it, and almost lost their composure.

how is this possible?What is Gu Fangling?To steal their limelight and win the eyes of the Holy Majesty and the Empress?There are so many ladies with outstanding talents and looks in Quanyan City, which one is not more dazzling than Gu Fangling, and more worthy of the respect of the Holy Majesty and the Empress?

However, no matter how much Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei were angry, it was useless, and no matter how deep their resentment was, there was nowhere to vent it.This is the imperial palace, not the palace of the king of Mu, nor the palace of the general.Although the two have often entered the palace since they were young, and their relationship with the empress has become closer, neither of them dared to go beyond the rules and provoke petty tempers wantonly...

"Your servant is terrified, thank you for your grace, and thank you for your kindness." Gu Fangling did not get up in a hurry, but kowtowed three more times respectfully before standing up.

Witnessing Gu Fangling's rules and etiquette with my own eyes, as the prince said, it is impossible to be picky, it is indeed very good.Nodding approvingly, the queen waved at Gu Fangling, and asked Gu Fangling to sit beside her.Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei probably never enjoyed such a holy grace.

Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei no longer knew how to adjust the expressions on their faces.They glanced at each other, seeing shock and horror in each other's eyes.

impossible!Who is the empress?They have always been the most disciplined, even those who have been with the empress since childhood have never been valued so much by the empress. What kind of ecstasy did Gu Fangling give the empress?

To be honest, Wei Qian thinks that she has a closer relationship with the imperial concubine than with the empress, that's why she is closer to the third brother.But Sun Wenfei is different!She is the real niece of the empress, the only cousin of the prince, so she is not as good as Gu Fangling who just met for the first time?

"I'd better call you 'Fang Ling'! It's more intimate and easy to say." Before Gu Fangling could reply, the queen changed her words and continued, "Today I specially invited Fang Ling to enter the palace. Apart from wanting to meet Fang Ling, I actually want to ask Fang Ling for one thing. I also hope that Fang Ling will not see her, so she must agree to it."

"My daughter dare not. The empress has any orders, just say it clearly. My daughter must do her best and die." Hearing the word "please" from the empress herself, Gu Fangling was even more shocked than Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei, And even more horrified.After speaking, he stood up and wanted to kneel down to salute, lest he make a wrong step.
