In this palace, without the permission and rewards from the queen mother and the emperor, even nobles such as princesses, princesses, etc., have to walk obediently.

A group of people walked up the white marble steps, entered the main hall from the main entrance, and then walked all the way to the east side hall.

The maid in charge always had a smile on her face, and she walked at a leisurely pace, she tentatively said to Gu Yanfei: "Young lady has a very natural face, is this your first time entering the palace?"

"That's true." Gu Yanfei nodded with a smile, and didn't say a word, just pretending that he didn't understand the other party's temptation.

Hearing this, Wang tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand, with eleven thousand questions in her heart, as if being scratched by a cat's paw, but this is not a good place to question Gu Yanfei.

After passing through two more curtains, Mrs. Wang and Gu Yanfei followed the maid in charge to a warm pavilion that was as warm as spring.

The room was filled with a thick sandalwood, curling up, and the gold brick floor under the feet was like a mirror. The floor was covered with gorgeous carpets extending to a pair of black embroidered shoes embroidered with golden phoenixes.

The Empress Dowager Yuan, who was wearing a red sandalwood-colored shouzi pattern carved with silk, was sitting on the kang, with a graceful bearing and a graceful demeanor.

In the Nuan Pavilion, there are still many young girls sitting on both sides, with their fragrant clothes and temples, and the fragrant wind blowing gently, looking at the colorful flowers.

Wei Jiaoniang was also among them.

She has already changed into a new dress, wearing a peach-colored begonia flower engraved silk beanie with a water-red thread-stitched long skirt, a lily bun in her black hair, and a golden golden phoenix inlaid with rubies on her hair. Bead step shake.

Wei Jiaoniang was so bored that she couldn't sit still any longer, she secretly turned her head and yawned, and the three strings of tassels on the top of the trousers swayed slightly.

When she turned her head, she saw Gu Yanfei who came in with Mrs. Wang, her spirits lifted immediately, her drowsiness disappeared, and her eyes sparkled.

Yan Fei, you are here too! Wei Jiaoniang quickly blinked her left eye at Gu Yanfei and winked.

Gu Yanfei and Wei Jiaoniang exchanged a tacit look.

Mrs. Wang took Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunxie to the front and greeted the Empress Dowager Yuan. The Empress Dowager Yuan drank tea gracefully, her expression was indifferent, neither warm nor indifferent. When it landed on Gu Yanfei, he took a little scrutiny.

An old nanny leaned over and whispered something into the Queen Mother Yuan's ear. The Queen Mother Yuan nodded slightly, her eyes deepened, and she glanced at Gu Yanfei lightly.

Empress Dowager Yuan didn't give her a seat, so Mrs. Wang could only stand there, not daring to move or glance at random, with a respectful and dignified look.

Soon, Empress Dowager Yuan put down the pastel enamel Three Gentlemen teacup in her hand, stroked the border on her sleeve, and said to Wang in a light tone: "Mrs. It's been too long."

The "Ling Ai" in her mouth refers to Gu Yunxie of course.

Wang's heart skipped a beat, fearing that something might happen, she put on an expression of listening to the Queen Mother's orders.

"Ling Ai is about to reach the age of Ji, and it will be decided after the new year." Queen Mother Yuan said unhurriedly, her expression was calm, and there was a trace of superiority in her words.

Wang's expression was overjoyed, and she quickly bowed her knees and bowed to the Queen Mother Yuan, saying solemnly: "I would like to obey the Queen Mother's order."

Mrs. Wang is not stupid either, she will look at her a little bit, and she can naturally see that the Empress Dowager Yuan did not look very happy when she said this, but no matter what, as long as this marriage can be accomplished.

In the past few months, things have not gone well in the family, and there has been a lot of bad luck, and now there is finally a happy event, which can sweep away the bad luck that this girl Gu Yanfei brought after her return.

Gu Yunxie, who was standing next to Wang, also knelt down and thanked her with neither humility nor overbearing: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness."

There is a slight smile between her mouth and mouth, her movements are elegant and generous, and she has an excellent bearing, like an orchid like a lotus, with a natural demeanor, without the slightest petty air of a boudoir girl.

Seeing this, even the Queen Mother Yuan who didn't like her nodded secretly.

Empress Dowager Yuan then ordered the old nanny: "You take Mrs. Dingyuan Hou to sit in the west hall."

She didn't mention Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunxie, obviously she planned to keep these two girls in the warm pavilion.

When Mrs. Wang first entered the Nuan Pavilion, she noticed that the imperial wives were not there, only the girls' homes were left here, presumably the queen mother had other plans.

Mrs. Wang was very knowledgeable, so she resigned immediately, and followed the old woman to the West Hall.

Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunxiu were given seats by Queen Mother Yuan.

As soon as the Wang family left, two more families came back, and the elders were dismissed by the Queen Mother casually, leaving only two girls, Lu Qin and Yu Chaoyun.

The maids of Shou'an Palace quickly served tea to all the girls, and the fragrance of Biluochun diffused with the heat.

These girls who were summoned by the Queen Mother today are either honorable or noble daughters, or come from high-ranking families, and they often meet at banquets in various prefectures on weekdays, and they know each other a lot.

They did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the Queen Mother, and greeted each other with smiles.

"Empress Dowager," Yu Chaoyun said neither humble nor overbearing, "I heard that the high-quality Biluochun is a tribute. I tasted it today, and it is really fragrant, fresh and refreshing. This minister is really lucky."

Goodbye to Yu Chaoyun, Gu Yanfei was very calm, just glanced at him lightly, and drank his tea with his head down.

Empress Dowager Yuan smiled kindly, and ordered the maid in charge to give her a jar of Biluochun, and said with a smile: "This young girl has a good spirit, she looks full of vigor, and she looks like flowers, Aijia looked at her." I'm all happy."

"Come on, tell Aijia, what do you like and what are you good at?"

Yu Chaoyun took the lead in answering: "Go back to the Empress Dowager, the courtiers usually like to play the piano."

She didn't say much, she was both generous and decent to maintain the character of the daughter of the aristocratic family.

Immediately afterwards, the other girls beside them also answered. Some said they liked playing chess, some said they liked copying scriptures, and some said they were good at playing flute and zither...

When it was Wei Jiaoniang's turn, she smiled and burst out two words:

"fight."

There was a moment of silence all around.

Several women from aristocratic families didn't take it seriously, thinking that Wei Jiaoniang was really vulgar and rude, but Lu Qin, who was sitting next to Wei Jiaoniang, almost didn't laugh out loud, trying to cover her mouth to hold back her laughter.

"Puchi!"

Suddenly there was a clear and crisp laughter among the girls, which was especially loud in the quiet Nuan Pavilion.

Everyone's eyes flicked towards Gu Yanfei, only to see Gu Yanfei's black eyes were shining brightly, when he smiled, it was like a spring flower blooming, extremely bright and full of willfulness.

"..." The Empress Dowager Yuan who was drinking tea was almost choked, the corners of her lips were tightened, and a look of worry flashed across her eyes.

Wei Jiaoniang's answer sounded like she was perfunctory to herself.

Empress Dowager Yuan gave Wei Jiaoniang a sideways look, held back her displeasure and did not lose her temper, and said in an admonishing tone: "Jiaoniang, the girl's family should be virtuous and dignified, gentle and chaste, you are as good as Ji, don't yell and beat me all day long!" shouted to kill."

Faced with Queen Mother Yuan's reprimand, Wei Jiaoniang was not at all afraid or uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "The Emperor Taizu said that women may not be inferior to men. Princess Fengyang also personally led an army, galloping on the battlefield, He has made great military exploits for my great cause."

Princess Fengyang is the eldest sister of the first emperor. She once led an army of 100,000 to pacify the three northeast states, and made great achievements for Dajing, which will be recorded in the annals of history forever.

Most of those noble ladies who came from the family of noble military generals admired her very much, and they couldn't help showing fascination and smiling.

The Duke of Wei's Mansion has a detached position in the Dajing Dynasty. The current Duke Wei Shen not only has a heavy hand in his hand, but also his cousin, the cousin of King Kang. extraordinary.

She was probably the only one who dared to talk to the queen mother in such a contemptuous and perfunctory manner.

"..." Empress Dowager Yuan choked up for a moment, the corners of her lips were pursed even tighter, and a shadow flashed in her eyes.

Princess Fengyang is the eldest sister of the first emperor, with a fiery temper and a heroic bearing. Although she is a daughter, she is more daring than a man, and she stands tall in the court with illustrious military exploits.

When the late emperor decided to make her his empress, Princess Fengyang strongly opposed it. When she was in a hurry, she even beat her and the late emperor with a whip.

Thinking about it now, Empress Dowager Yuan couldn't help being afraid.

Her slightly dark eyes passed over Wei Jiaoniang, and then landed on Gu Yanfei. After staring at it for a while, she asked: "I remember you are the second girl of the Gu family, right? What about you, what are you good at?"

"Fortune-telling." Gu Yanfei replied solemnly, with a very sincere expression.

"Puchi!" Wei Jiaoniang laughed happily, her laughter was as clear as a bell, and she smiled at Gu Yanfei.

She is good at fighting, and Gu Yanfei is good at fortune-telling, they are really a good match!

"Snapped!"

Empress Dowager Yuan slapped the coffee table heavily with her palm, frowning slightly, and the anger that had been suppressed just now was released unabashedly at this moment.

For Wei Jiaoniang, the Empress Dowager Yuan would be patient for a while because she was jealous of Wei Guogong, but for Gu Yanfei she didn't have to.

"Presumptuous!" Empress Dowager Yuan said coldly, her voice was not loud, but she was not angry, "How dare you be so shameless in front of Ai's family."

The surrounding maids and servants all lowered their heads and remained silent.

Gu Yanfei looked at Empress Dowager Yuan smiling without saying a word, the corners of her lips curled into a smile that was not a smile.

She was always telling the truth, why didn't anyone believe her!

"..." Gu Yunwei frowned lightly, and felt that she couldn't see through Gu Yanfei again.

Gu Yanfei is not stupid, no, it should be said that she is a smart person.

Every time she does some magical tricks at home, she always has a plan, so why is she today?

Most of the others could also see that the queen mother had channeled all her dissatisfaction with Wei Jiaoniang on the second girl of the Gu family.

or……

The Empress Dowager is using this as an excuse.

Yu Chaoyun recalled how the eldest prince looked at Gu Yanfei that day, and the look he gave her was somewhat meaningful.

There was a moment of silence in the Nuan Pavilion, and a trace of sandalwood was quietly exhaled from the white jade incense burner in the corner, which was quiet and cold.

"Since you said you are good at fortune-telling," Queen Mother Yuan sneered, stroked her sleeves casually, and her voice became a little colder, "Then you will do the math for the Ai family."
