[Qing Chuan] Gongdou system of black lotus

The news spread to everyone.

In the end, even Qianlong heard about it. When he came to Changchun Palace, Qianlong couldn't help asking about it. He jokingly asked: "Now everyone in the palace is saying that Qianqian is very good at playing the pipa. How come I don't know how to play the pipa?" Don’t have this ear blessing?”

At that time, Gu Qianqian was looking at the guest list sent by the queen. It was not an easy task to prepare the banquet for the Golden Festival. From the guests to the pots and pans, everything had to be taken care of.

In order to scare her off, the Queen specially dumped those tedious things, such as how to arrange the position on the day of the Gold Award Day, to her.

Although this kind of thing is trivial, it is difficult to handle everything comprehensively. The position seems to be a trivial matter, but in fact it cannot be ignored. There are many factors to consider, such as the official position of the guest, and the degree of face in front of the Long Live Lord , and the relationship between the guests have to be considered carefully so as not to offend others.

Gu Qianqian had already thought about it in her mind. When she heard Qianlong's words, she was taken aback, raised her head and smiled, and said, "Master Long Live, why do you listen to other people's nonsense? It's nothing."

Concubine Chun can release rumors, but Gu Qianqian has to make a modest gesture to deny it. Only in this way can she appear humble and polite.

"Nothing? I don't believe it." Qianlong folded his arms, shook his head and said, "There must be a reason for it. Qianqian has such abilities, why should she be modest?"

Gu Qianqian blushed, cast a shy and timid glance at him, and said, "It's not impossible for the Lord Long Live to listen to my concubine play the pipa, but I have to wait until the day of the gold awarding day, and my concubine hasn't practiced well yet, why? Are you ashamed to show your shame in front of the Long Live Lord? Why don’t you wait for the concubines to finish practicing, and then let the Long Live Lord have a look, okay?”

She grabbed Qianlong's palm, and scratched Qianlong's palm with her slender and boneless fingers, as if unintentionally, but it was very seductive.

Qianlong's eyes darkened, and he said with a smile, "Of course I will follow you."

After a night of quilt, Gu Qianqian went to greet An and came back the next day. Gu Qianqian only felt her waist and limbs were sore and weak. She was lying on the couch, leaning on the pillow, holding a snail in her hand and writing the list.

The winter in the capital came early, and it was only October, and it gradually became colder.Gu Qianqian was afraid of the cold and knew how to treat herself kindly, so she changed into a warm mattress early, and the quilt was so used that people took it out to dry when it was sunny. The location arrangement is written, and the prince, Fucha Mansion, Gao Mansion, Ulanala Mansion...

Halfway through writing, Gu Qianqian suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, as if something was missing.

She raised her head and looked around.

Gui Zhi has been paying attention to her actions, and seeing her expression, she approached courteously, "Your Majesty, do you have any orders?"

Gu Qianqian glanced at her, frowned slightly, and asked, "Where's Bailing?"

In the past, when she was doing errands, Bai Ling would send some cakes and teacups from time to time. She has a bright and sunny personality. With her, even if she doesn't open her mouth, the room will be extraordinarily lively.

But now that she is not there, the room seems to be much quieter.

No wonder she was so much more efficient today. It turned out that Bailing was missing and fed from time to time.

"Mother, Elder Sister Bailing is going to Shenwumen to meet her family today." Gui Zhi regretted that she was useless, but she answered Gu Qianqian's question neatly.

Gu Qianqian suddenly realized and nodded. She was so busy and confused that she forgot about it.

Although the rules in this palace are strict, there is nothing more than human feelings outside the law, especially for the palace ladies. The palace with the strictest rules is also somewhat tender. Every year, the palace ladies can have one or two opportunities to meet their family members, talk, and talk heart-to-heart .

Du Juan is an orphan, so she has never asked for leave for this matter, but Bailing is different, she is from the capital, and the head of the family is a bannerman, so she goes to see her family every year.

"If your empress misses Sister Bailing, then this servant should look for her." Gui Zhi said hastily, not reconciled to missing an opportunity like this.Now Concubine Xian has a different status in the palace. There are so many people in the Changchun Palace who want to serve her. Although Guizhi said that she is a first-class maid, she always feels that she is not as good as Dujuan. Bailing and the others are trusted. Ren, with a thorn in his heart, wants to show his face everywhere.

Gu Qianqian tightened her fingers holding Luo Zidai, she raised her eyes, and looked at Gui Zhi without a smile in her eyes, "I don't mean that, if you make your own decisions, stop serving in front of me."

Gu Qianqian seldom gets angry, so, without a smile on her face, she looks extraordinarily majestic.

Guizhi trembled in his heart, and quickly knelt down: "I know my mistake, please punish me."

It's not that Gu Qianqian doesn't know Guizhi's thoughts, but she doesn't want to see Guizhi jumping around, especially if she thinks she is smart. She is not afraid of the queen's schemes, but she is afraid of people like Guizhi who think they are smart. will screw things up.

The number of times Bai Ling can see her family is only once or twice a year. If there is an urgent matter now, it’s fine, but if there is no urgent matter, she hurriedly called her. It's a bit of a pity.

Even if slaves are not regarded as human beings in this era, Gu Qianqian is not assimilated to the point where she has no heart.

She closed the list she had already written in her hand, and said lightly: "Punishment is unnecessary, and you are also loyal, but this palace has always disliked the people below to make their own decisions. Just do whatever I tell you. You can do it well." , is loyal, do you remember?"

"Yes, yes, this servant has remembered." Guizhi said repeatedly.

Gu Qianqian waved her hand and asked her to get up, then said to her: "Serve the pen and ink."

The list written with Luo Zidai can't just be handed over to the queen, it still has to be rewritten with a brush.

"Grandma Liu..." Bai Ling was looking at Grandma Liu with a pale face beside the Chuxiu Palace, which was rarely visited by people.

"Girl Bailing, don't be afraid, Mammy doesn't mean anything to you." Mammy Liu had a kind smile on her face, she looked like an old man who was easy to get along with, but the more she was like this, Bailing's The legs trembled more and more.

The same is serving people, Liu Mama can become the steward of Yikun Palace and the Queen's confidant, the means are absolutely beyond ordinary people, Bai Ling usually sees her with trepidation, but now on the way back to the palace, she was alone by Liu Mama Stopped, my legs were weak with fright.

She thought to herself that their mother had been fighting bloodlessly with the empress for so long, did the empress send someone to kill her?As long as she is thrown into a well, even if she dies, the murderer will not be found.

Thinking of those maids and eunuchs who disappeared without a sound in the palace, Bai Ling broke out in a cold sweat and staggered back.

Seeing her expression, Madam Liu felt more and more satisfied. If they want to bribe Bai Ling, they naturally hope that the other party will be as timid as possible. In this way, coercion and temptation will be more effective.

"What are you afraid of? Can the nanny eat you?"

Bai Ling smiled embarrassingly, her eyes wandering around, and she said: "Nurse, before our mother came, I told my servants to go back as soon as possible. The servants will stay soon, so let's go first."

After she said this, she lifted her foot and was about to leave quickly.

But the words from behind made Bailing stop, "You are gone, what about your family?"

The meaning contained in this sentence was licked on Bai Ling's neck like a poisonous snake's letter, and two emotions of shock, anger and fear rushed into his heart. Bai Ling turned around stiffly, his almond eyes widened, and his lips were bloodless. "Mum, what do you mean by that?"

"It's nothing interesting." Mammy Liu smiled, and she approached Bailing Shi Shiran, stretched out her hand and patted Bailing's shoulder affectionately, "You have a very good relationship with your family, don't you see your family today? what idea?"

"Slaves, what can you think?" Bai Ling only felt that the hand on Liu Mama's shoulder was as heavy as a mountain, her legs were weak, and she felt dizzy.

"Miss Bailing, you are a smart girl, so you don't need to clarify some things," Nanny Liu looked at Bailing contemptuously like a cat looking at a mouse, "The Empress appreciates you, and I will give you my allegiance." Don't be ignorant of the opportunity."

"This, how can this be done!" Bai Ling subconsciously refused.

Grandma Liu sneered, "Why not? Miss Bailing, you should understand what it means for a good bird to choose a tree to live in. Don't worry, the Empress will not let you do many things, just one or two things. Turning around, the empress will also benefit from you."

After she finished speaking, she took out a bank note from her sleeve and stuffed it directly into Bai Ling's hand.

Bai Ling's face was pale, and just as she was about to throw away the bank notes in her hand, she saw the cruelty on Madam Liu's face, Bai Ling's heart trembled, and she held the bank notes resignedly, with a terrible and ugly expression on her face.

"That's good." Liu Mama said kindly: "You are with the empress, and the empress will not treat you badly. It's okay, it's getting late, you should go back. What should you say and do when you go back?" What, you know it in your heart. Mammy reminds you, if you dare to tell Concubine Xian about this, the empress will know it in less than half an hour. By then, your little life will be in jeopardy gone."

At the end of her speech, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, and her voice seemed to be poisoned.

Bai Ling repeatedly said yes, then turned and left trembling.

Grandma Liu watched her back gradually leave, and the corners of her lips gradually curled up.

"Why did it take you so long to come back?" Du Juan came out of the house holding a teacup, and when he saw Bai Ling, he asked casually.

Bai Ling looked at her, and stammered, "Say a few more words with Ama Erniang."

Seeing her expression, Du Juan thought she was reluctant to part with her parents, sighed inwardly, and said: "Your Majesty was still thinking about you just now, you go wash your face first and then go to your Majesty to serve her."

"Yes." Bai Ling subconsciously agreed.

She went to wash her face in desperation, and after washing her face, she looked at the banknote in her sleeve, her eyes flickered, and finally put the banknote in her sleeve, and walked towards the main hall.
