Complete Harem Raiders

Chapter 4

"Gu Liangyuan, you wait first, let the miscellaneous family report to the empress." Hong Quan, the eunuch in charge of Fengyi Palace, bowed to Gu Jingchan, turned and entered the main hall of Fengyi Palace.

Gu Jingchan's heart was pounding, and she was also a little flustered at this moment, she didn't know what the queen meant.She summoned herself to come, but didn't allow Biqin to follow. Looking at the solemn and solemn Fengyi Palace, her hands were slightly sweaty.

Hong Quan came out, bowed to Gu Jingchan and said, "Gu Liangyuan, the Empress has summoned you to enter."

Gu Jingchan panted, adjusted her tone, and said softly, "Thank you, Manager!"

"Gu Liangyuan is so polite! Please!"

When Gu Jingchan stepped into the gate of Fengyi Palace, she saw the empress sitting on the main seat with two or three servants around her.At this time, she was already open-minded, and she thought that the queen would not attack a little girl like herself, and she was new to the palace, so she would definitely not offend the queen, so there should be nothing wrong with her.

Thinking of this, Gu Jingchan knelt on the ground with her hands folded on her abdomen and said, "I wish the empress the best of luck."

The queen looked at Gu Jingchan kneeling and saluting, nodded lightly, glanced at Hong Quan and said, "Hong Quan, you go out first and watch outside."

Hong Quan stepped back when he heard the words, and stood far away to guard the gate.

Gu Jingchan bowed her head and knelt, straightened her back, her attitude was modest and polite, there was nothing wrong with it.I was just quietly thinking about what the queen was up to.

"Sister Chan'er, don't be too polite, get up quickly. It's autumn now, and the ground is cold, so be careful to hurt your knees." Seeing that Gu Jingchan was still kneeling respectfully, the queen secretly blamed herself for forgetting to ask her to get up, and she felt apologetic at the moment .

Gu Jingchan got up upon hearing the words, and said with a faint smile on her face, "I thank the Empress for your understanding, I'm fine."

"Sit down." The queen pointed to the embroidered stool not far away and said with a smile on her face.

Gu Jingchan lightly frowned and said in a low voice, "I'm a humble concubine, I dare not sit with the empress."

"Sit down if you want, you are also a good girl. If you stand, do you want these servants to kneel down? Be obedient!" The queen frowned when she saw Gu Jingchan, knowing that if she didn't force her Sit down, according to her polite temperament, I'm afraid she won't dare to sit down.

"My concubine, I thank the empress for giving me the seat." Gu Jingchan had no choice but to half-sit on the embroidered stool, sorting out the messages received after entering Fengyi Palace.

The queen took a look at Gu Jingchan's behavior, and had no choice but to soften her tone and said, "Sister Chan'er, don't panic, I have no other purpose in asking you to come here, I just want to see how big your sister Chan'er has grown. "

Gu Jingchan's body trembled slightly after hearing the Queen's words.The meaning of the queen... Dad said, someone is helping me, so could it be that this person is the queen?
"Empress, what do you mean?" Although Gu Jingchan had made such a guess in her heart, she still didn't dare to answer the question, and then asked.

The queen smiled calmly, looked at the maids on the left and right, and then said: "I just want to see you, Sister Chan'er. I think you were such a short little girl when I entered the palace! You are still like this now She is an outstanding girl, thinking about how time flies so quickly. By the way, how is Juan'er's illness?"

Gu Jingchan pursed her lips and sorted out her memory. She remembered that before the queen entered the palace, she did often go to Anguo Gong's mansion.Hearing her question about Jingjuan now, Gu Jingchan said with a distressed look: "It's been a long time since I saw my sister, and I don't know what to do. It's just that before the concubine enters the palace, my sister's body hasn't recovered yet, but the queen is so tired. The empress is concerned, and I will apologize to you on behalf of my sister."

"Hi! I said Sister Chan'er, you don't have to keep the etiquette. Everyone in this palace is a confidant, so it's good for you to be more casual. Mei Hong, go make some tea for Liang Yuan. Sister Chan'er, I don't have any." If you remember correctly, you like herbal tea, right? It’s just that it’s autumn now, and the frost is about to fall, so it’s not good to drink scented tea. How about Keemun black tea?” The queen said very gently, trying her best to His smile became more sincere.After being this empress all these years, her sincere smile can no longer be radiated.

Listening to the queen's words, Gu Jingchan gradually became calmer in her heart, her complexion relaxed, but she was still a little defensive in her heart.She smiled gratefully at the queen and said, "It's hard for the queen to remember my concubine's preferences. I'm really grateful. I don't dare to make Aunt Mei Hong make tea herself."

The queen smiled lightly, looking at Gu Jingchan who was still modest and polite to her, the satisfaction in her heart increased a lot.She looked Gu Jingchan up and down and said, "Is it a habit in Qunfang Palace? The servants didn't treat you slowly, did they! Although she is a good girl, it should be much worse than your courtyard in the Duke of Anguo's mansion. Look at you. The body is a little thin, but where is the discomfort?"

"Thank you, Empress, for your concern. Everything is fine with me." Gu Jingchan raised her head to meet the eyes of the empress, smiled gently, and said no more.

The queen nodded lightly, and suddenly said with a smile: "Sister Chan'er's temper hasn't changed much! My mother also said before, if it wasn't for my brother not having a suitable age, she would definitely marry her as a daughter-in-law."

Gu Jingchan knew that the queen was speaking politely, and the queen's father was the current prime minister.Although my father had a good relationship with the prime minister, but the concubine was a concubine after all, and the prime minister's family definitely looked down on me.Now that the queen summoned her, she said something like this again, if Gu Jingchan didn't know, she would be really stupid.

It has been guessed that the queen is the person that father said, who will help him, but unexpectedly it is the queen.Thinking of this, Gu Jingchan stopped playing Tai Chi with the empress, and instead smiled lightly: "The empress's elder brother, of course, is it possible for a woman like Jingchan to climb up high? Thanks to the empress's respect, Jingchan is here to thank the empress." gone."

"Hey! What are you talking about! Get up quickly, you are all from your own family, why bother to be polite? Uncle Gu is still in good health?" Seeing that Gu Jingchan understood the meaning of the words, the Queen stopped wandering around , cut directly to the topic.

"My father's body is still very strong. I wonder if Master Ji is still strong?"

"My father is in good health. I remember that sister Chan'er used to call my father uncle all the time, why is she being more polite now? Now in the deep palace, all the sisters, I am the only one close to you. As a younger sister, if you have any grievances, don't forget that I, the queen sister, will make the decision for you."

Hearing that the queen had spoken, Gu Jingchan breathed a sigh of relief, and got back to the topic, so she stopped making excuses and said with a smile: "Then the younger sister will be tired and the queen will take care of her." Already!"

"Family, what are you talking about?" The queen chuckled lightly, a different kind of calculation flashed between her brows and eyes.

Gu Jingchan left Fengyi Palace, but Hong Quan sent her back.After rewarding Hong Quan, Gu Jingchan's relaxed brows wrinkled again.The road paved by her father was very good, and she would not suffer the suffering on the surface if she took the line of the queen.But once you stand with the queen, you will share weal and woe in the future, this burden is really heavy!

Yan Suya was well aware that Gu Jingchan was summoned by the empress, and she was still worried about Gu Jingchan at first. After all, although the empress was virtuous and generous, when dealing with palace concubines, she was still ruthless.She was worried that if the queen looked at Gu Jingchan disliked, she would not be able to escape the punishment and embarrassment.

But when she saw Gu Jingchan the next day, she breathed a sigh of relief, patted Gu Jingchan's hand lightly, and said, "You were fine yesterday, right? Why did the empress summon you all of a sudden?"

Gu Jingchan pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "Sister Yan also knows that according to the rules, it was my sister Juan'er who was supposed to enter the palace. However, my younger sister suffered from a cold at the beginning of the selection and fell ill. The crooked situation has not improved. So my father asked His Majesty for an order to let me enter the palace. I have never participated in any banquet in this palace, and the empress also asked me to go. I will meet you and perform the necessary etiquette. .”

Yan Suya dubiously listened to Gu Jingchan's words.In fact, these words are not bad. Which concubine in this palace should not pass the eyes of the queen?Unless you are a high-ranking court lady!Thinking of this, Yan Suya laughed and said, "I'm relieved if that's the case. Yesterday I was afraid that you offended the empress and you would be reprimanded."

"I'm so tired that my elder sister cares about her, my younger sister is very grateful." Gu Jingchan chuckled lightly, seeing Yan Suya's half-believing expression, she didn't say anything, just pretended she didn't see it.

According to Biqin, that Xing Enting actually went to bed.I don't know what she was thinking, but she was wearing a bright red skirt with strapless shoulders, sitting in front of the Biyue Pool, and she didn't know what tricks she used to ask the emperor to summon her.

Yan Suya was already at bedtime, Gu Jingchan looked at her shy appearance, and counted the days, it turned out that it was not short, it seemed that she had to do something.
