[Qing Chuan] Gongdou system of black lotus

It is March [-]rd of the year again.

The Shangsi Festival is considered a big day among the people. Every year on this day, the common people will go out to visit mountains and rivers, and young men and women will seize this rare good day to meet each other.

However, in the palace, such days seem a little deserted.

"Your Majesty, I have surrendered." In the Changchun Palace, Ning Guiren looked at the chessboard and shook his head helplessly.

Gu Qianqian smiled and said, "Why don't you try again?"

"No need, this servant has already entered your game, empress. No matter how you play, you will only lose. It is better to admit defeat early." Ning Guiren said.

Gu Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled, without any further persuasion. Since the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Ning Gui has been favored, and she has won a flop once or twice a month. Although not many, at least she has some face. Slowly Stand your ground.Gu Qianqian said a few good things for her. At the beginning of this year, Qianlong promoted her position and made her a nobleman.

Since then, Ning Guiren has the aura of stabilizing those beautiful women who entered the palace in the same year.

For this reason, Concubine Chun and the others frequently used this matter to provoke Gu Qianqian. If they wanted to see the two of them turn against each other, it would be best to see Concubine Xian raise a white-eyed wolf who devoured the Lord.

However, Gu Qianqian felt that they were overthinking. She didn't care that Ning Guiren could be favored. Qianlong's philandering radish would not sleep with only one person. Anyway, the fat and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders.

What's more, Mrs. Ning Gui is also smart enough, she probably heard some rumors, so she came to play chess with her today to express her opinion.

Such a smart person would not betray her casually.

"Ma'am," Ning Guiren breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Gu Qianqian's leisurely look. While picking up the chess pieces, she said to Gu Qianqian: "This morning, the pure concubine sent a message to invite slaves and maidservants to go see it together in the future." Play, I don't know if I should go or not?"

Gu Qianqian didn't raise her eyebrows, she didn't even look surprised at all, she just said: "I'm planning to go to see a play that day, I heard that the "Romance of the West Chamber" that the troupe invited to the palace this year is very good, if you If you want to hear it, let's go together."

"The servant girl will thank you first." Ning Guiren showed a smile, as if he was very happy.

Gu Qianqian accompanied her to play another game of chess, this time from the beginning to the end, but Ning Guiren still lost. Before leaving, he was still full of doubts, and said to Gu Qianqian: "Mother, let this chess board be taken back by this servant. This time back down, back down, the servants will almost lose face."

"Okay, okay." Gu Qianqian smiled and waved her hands, "This chessboard is simply for you."

"The slaves are not welcome." Ning Guiren smiled, and really took the chessboard, and took away the chess board on it.

"Ma'am." Guizhi put a new cup of tea for Gu Qianqian, glanced at the direction Ning Guiren left, and said in a low voice: "Ning Guiren's words may not be trustworthy. Yesterday, a servant saw the concubine Chun with her own eyes. Talking together, seeing the servants coming, the pure concubine seems to be frightened, the two of them must have a good friendship."

Gu Qianqian lifted the tea cover, blew lightly, and said slowly: "Seeing may not be believing, I think you are overthinking."

"But!" Guizhi wanted to provoke a few more words, but was interrupted by Gu Qianqian, she raised her eyes and looked at Guizhi, "It's nothing to worry about, you also said, you just saw Concubine Chun and Ning Guiren together We talked together and didn't hear what they said, so how can you be sure that Lady Ning has already turned to Concubine Chun?"

Guizhi was left speechless by the question, opened his mouth for a long time and couldn't think of a word to answer, so he could only say: "I am just afraid that Ning Guiren will have two minds."

"Employees are not suspicious. Since I dare to use Ning Gui, I will naturally trust her. In the future, don't say anything like this, otherwise, I will not be polite." Gu Qianqian took a sip of tea, Glancing at Guizhi, Guizhi's heart skipped a beat when he saw that look, and he quickly said, "Your maidservant knows."

"Okay, go down and help me see if the medicine is ready." Gu Qianqian waved her hand casually, and found an excuse to send Gui Zhi away. Her heart was like a mirror, and Gui Zhi was a lie detector for her. , as long as Guizhi says yes, [-]/[-] out of [-] it is not a good thing, but what Guizhi says is not good, it must be good.After all, the master behind Guizhi is the empress.

These days, the Empress has repeatedly asked Gui Zhi to speak ill of Ning Guiren in front of her, which shows how loyal Ning Guiren is to her.Otherwise, the empress should let Gui Zhi praise Ning Gui more, because Ning Gui can play a much greater role as an eyeliner than Gui Zhi.

"Du Juan, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a lot of red charcoal over yesterday, you go and get a basket of red charcoal and send it to Ning Gui." Gu Qianqian thought for a while, and told Du Juan that Ning Gui was born afraid of the cold, and now It was March, and she was still dressed very warmly, and charcoal fires were often used in the apse, but her quota was not enough, so Gu Qianqian did not hesitate to allocate her quota to her.

"Yes, ma'am." Du Juan said.

Leaving aside how Ning Guiren was completely relieved after getting Hong Luotan, at Jingren Palace, Concubine Chun tried to drive a wedge between Gu Qianqian and Ning Guiren, she thought she would hear the good news from Changchun Palace within a few days , but waited and waited, the last thing that came was the day when Gu Qianqian and Ning Guiren came to watch the theater together.

This day is actually not a big day, let alone someone's birthday. Concubine Chun's birthday is still in June, so it's too early to celebrate her birthday.It's just that the queen mother was bored in the palace. In order to please her, Qianlong also heard that there was an opera troupe in the capital, so he summoned the theater troupe to the palace. The concubines in the palace also listened to the opera, and for a while, there was a wave of listening to the opera in the palace.This is not unusual, the Forbidden City is like an exquisite and luxurious dead city, rules and dogmas are like tightrope trapping the Forbidden City, and restraining the hands and feet of the people in the city.And this troupe is like a spring breeze blowing into the Forbidden City, so that those who live the same life every day

Feel novel and exciting.

Concubine Chun is very showy, knowing that everyone loves to listen to operas, she sold it to the queen mother, and got the troupe to sing in the theater near Jingren Palace today.

"Why did Sister Concubine Xian come with Lady Ning?" Concubine Chun was talking to Concubine Yu when she saw Gu Qianqian and Lady Ning coming. Say hello.

"The concubine and Mr. Ning lived in the same palace, so there's nothing unusual about coming together." Gu Qianqian said with a smile.

Concubine Chun opened her mouth, gave Ning Guiren a meaningful look, and said with a smile: "It's nothing unusual, I just said it casually. Sister Concubine Xian and Ning Guiren, sit down quickly."

Ning Guiren was almost annoyed by Concubine Chun's eyes. She met Concubine Chun yesterday for no reason, and was dragged into a corner by her to talk nonsense. See, this is already bad enough, now Concubine Chun is still flirting with Concubine Xian in front of Empress Xian, isn't Chunxin embarrassing her?

Ning Guiren was anxious and angry, because such a thing couldn't happen, so he could only suffer this secret loss secretly.

But Gu Qianqian is not a person who will make faces for others. She smiled and took Ning Guiren's hand affectionately, and said to the stunned Concubine Chun: "Pure Concubine, my concubine and Ning Guiren have a very good relationship, and I want to be with her." Go, empress, let someone move Ning Guiren's chair to this concubine's side."

"This, this...is not in compliance with the rules." Concubine Chun's eyes fell on Gu Qianqian's hand holding Ning Guiren, with a smile on her face.

"Where is it against the rules?" Gu Qianqian was puzzled, and asked: "Isn't the concubine pure today just saying that the sisters are watching a play together in private and talking, what? Don't you have to follow the rules even in this little detail?"

Concubine Chun was left speechless by the question, thinking, how could I have forgotten that Concubine Xian is always sharp-tongued, it is impossible to argue with her, not to mention there are other people here, there is really no need to make a big fuss over this matter Therefore, I had no choice but to suppress my emotions: "My sister said the same thing, then let Ning Gui sit next to you."

The palace people immediately moved the tables and chairs, and Lady Ning sat down beside Gu Qianqian. After she sat down, she gave Gu Qianqian a grateful look.

Gu Qianqian gave her a comforting look, if she couldn't even cover her own people, wouldn't the harem have been in vain for two years?
