Reborn imperial concubine

"I can enter the palace by myself."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Xuanqing immediately turned to look at Gu Sheng in surprise.

It wasn't that he was so touched, but he didn't expect that a five-year-old child could understand their conversation, distinguish right from wrong, and take responsibility, which really surprised him.

Thinking that when the second brother Gu Yifei was her age, he was not as thoughtful as her, let alone Gu Rao who only knew how to cry all day long.

Seeing that Mr. Gu didn't speak for a long time, Aunt Shen hurriedly behaved first, looked at Gu Xuanqing with a look of relief and said: "Master, our third girl is sensible."

Gu Sheng also cooperated with her in acting as a loving mother and filial son, pursing her lips and raising a sweet smile.

Aunt Shen must be anxious in her heart at this moment, thinking of ways to prevent her from entering the palace, but her expression remains unchanged.

This is also the reason why Gu Sheng proposed to enter the palace in front of her - if this woman wants to obstruct her from entering the palace secretly, then she really has no power to resist, so she can only confront her face-to-face and show her tricks.

"It's a pity that Sister Yan won't agree." Sure enough, Shen's changed the subject, pretending to regret: "After all, she only has Sheng'er, and the road to the palace is difficult and unpredictable, so there is some reluctance."

Master Gu was noncommittal, he gently released Aunt Shen's hand, walked up to Gu Sheng, lowered his head and smiled and asked her, "Why does Sheng'er want to enter the palace?"

Gu Sheng was slightly taken aback. This question is a bit tricky. After all, as a five-year-old child, it's hard to say that she wants to marry the emperor to win favor, so as to give her father and second brother a good future, right?

For one thing, she shouldn't know these things just yet.

Secondly, even if she is 15 years old now and has already ignorantly understood the many stakes, she can't put it on the table and say it.

This kind of thing has always been a well-known secret, if it is revealed in front of people, Aunt Shen will take advantage of it, if it gets out in the future, not to mention entering the palace, even the right family will not be able to enter.

But Gu Xuanqing is her biological father, so there is no reason to throw such a tricky question to embarrass her. He probably just wondered what the child was thinking when he asked this question.

Gu Sheng couldn't help clenching his fists, trying to figure out what Gu Xuanqing meant, and tried his best to give an appropriate answer.

But after a while, Gu Sheng's big round eyes lit up, and she remembered Shen's sentence just now, "Rao'er enters the palace on behalf of her sister, so she can help the family and share the master's worries."

Gu Sheng calmed down his thoughts for a while, raised the corners of his mouth, and made use of the topic: "Aunt Shen said that this can relieve Dad's worries. Dad is working hard. Every time I sit by the window with my mother and look forward to Dad's arrival, Mom always says that Dad is busy with the court. I want to share the important matter with my father, so that I can see my father more often in the future."

After finishing speaking, Mr. Gu felt as if he had been stung in the heart, and his eye sockets were visibly red.

Even Aunt Shen who was behind her showed a flustered expression, she nervously poked her head to see Master Gu's reaction.

"Master!" Aunt Shen stepped forward and tugged on Gu Xuanqing's sleeve in a panic, as if trying to win his attention, but couldn't find a topic for a while.

Gu Xuanqing pressed her hand with the other hand, and after a long time said in a low voice: "You go back to the room to rest, I want to have a few words with Sheng'er alone.

Aunt Shen shrugged suddenly, the unwillingness flashed across her face, but Gu Xuanqing said the word "alone" on purpose, she really couldn't lick her face and pretend she didn't understand, after all, she was known for being considerate , had no choice but to leave resentfully.

Walking out of the side hall, I saw the master's personal attendant——Zheng Lang, still standing in front of the living room, waiting.

Aunt Shen straightened her clothes, walked over slowly, met his eyes, and glanced at the side hall door. Zheng Lang immediately blinked to indicate that he had received the order.

Zheng Lang is the eldest son of Zheng Xi, the housekeeper, and the first-class follower of Master Gu.

He is dressed in straight bamboo green silk cloth, fair skin, full cheeks, thin eyes and thick lips, honest and shrewd face, hard-working and hard-working, he is highly valued by Mr. Gu, and he is always taken with him wherever he goes.

Buying off such a celebrity in front of the master really cost Shen a lot of money.

Fortunately, this guy's brain is sharp, he does things well, and he doesn't make people worry at all, so it's worth the money.

Just to say that right now, the other two girls waiting in the living room are also Shen's eyeliner, but if she wants to look over like this, she will only get two blank looks in exchange.

Only this Zheng Lang had sharp eyesight, before Shen could walk out of the gate, he had already tiptoed to the side hall door curtain, as if waiting for the master to summon him at any time, but actually pricked up his ears, listening carefully to the conversation in the room, waiting After finishing the matter, report to Shen in private.

Shen turned her head and gave him a satisfied look, and then she lifted her foot and stepped out of the threshold, feeling in her heart: This Yan herself is a fool with no brains, giving birth to a daughter is a ghost, and she hasn't taken it seriously for a few months. Dealing with each other, this girl is almost mature.

There was a smile on the corner of Shen's mouth, but there was a bit of viciousness in her eyes - even a five-year-old child dared to show tricks in front of her.

"This is your own death." Shen thought with a sneer.

Originally looking at this little girl with a chubby face, it was quite painful, but she really had a bit of maternal love for Gu Sheng, but she didn't want to, this girl took the initiative to beat the drums to her so early, so don't blame her heart ruthless.

Aunt Shen returned to the West Chamber, and after just a cup of tea, Zheng Lang's cronies sent a secret report: "The master verbally agreed to let the third sister be reviewed by the recruiting officer."

"Where are the others?" Aunt Shen didn't change her face when she heard the news, but she still wanted to know the details of the conversation, so the servant who was about to report called Zheng Lang over.

"He went with the master to the office of officials to do business." The boy answered with a hooked head.

Aunt Shen nodded slightly, and waved him away.

Waiting for people to go out, Liu Ye, the big girl at the side, stepped forward to change the warm water on the tea table, while refilling the hot tea, while speculating on Shen's face, she said in a low voice: "Auntie, do you want me to go to Nanny Li... ..."

"No need." Shen's complexion darkened, and she reprimanded in a low voice: "How many times have I told her, don't make trouble under the eyes of the young master, this old fool just can't control his mouth! This time I will wait for the master!" When I think of her, when I let her out again, no one is allowed to intercede!"

Liu Ye shrank her neck and said yes.

Shen took a deep breath, got up and walked back and forth a few steps, and asked, "Did Rao send the fan to Third Sister?"

Liu Ye lowered her head and said hesitantly: "Not yet, Auntie, the second girl is shaking from crying, maybe another day..."

Shen said coldly: "There is no need for her to agree, let the girl steal it out and send it to Third Sister while she is not paying attention."

"This..." Liu Ye has a close relationship with Shen Shi on weekdays, but just now when she heard that the master allowed the third sister to draft a talent show, Shen Shi must be holding back her anger, so naturally she dared not say more.

"What's the matter?" Shen's pair of narrow and long eye tails turned over, seeing that Liu Ye's expression didn't seem to be angry, but rather teasing.

Only then did Liu Ye relax a little, raised her head and said earnestly: "Auntie, everyone in the house doesn't know that apart from the fact that our house is in the West Wing, we are treated no better than her main house in any other way. Master treats you with care, even us The servants can see clearly..."

"Don't go around in circles." Shen Shi snorted and said, "You want to say that with my current status, I have wronged myself and Rao'er by being so humble and small?"

Liu Ye frowned and replied: "Naturally, I can't hide my maidservant's thoughts from my aunt."

Shen Shi raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, lowered her eyes and replied: "You have been with me for so many years, and your mind is still so dull. Do you think that I wronged my daughter to please that little bitch of Yan Shi? ?”

When Liu Ye was reprimanded, she immediately blushed, lowered her head and rolled her eyes, and replied, "Then Auntie is trying to show her size?"

Shen cast a sideways glance at her, shook her head and sighed, "Your eyelids are too shallow, you still have to learn, just watch carefully."

Liu Ye lowered her head in shame, and didn't dare to guess again, just took advantage of Shen's mood, and then asked: "As for the draft, this servant has a way to disturb Huang Sanjie's way."

"Oh?" Shen looked at her sideways with great interest, then waved her hand and said, "It's not urgent, even if she passes the master's test, she can't pass the Yan family's test, that stupid woman is so arrogant, hugging her all day long." In the play, the dream of being a couple for the rest of your life will never let your daughter compete for favor with others."

Liu Ye hurriedly laughed and said: "How can she compare with Auntie!"

Shen's pale fingertips wrapped around her handkerchief, and she replied leisurely: "She is so good at comparing me, that she locked herself tightly."

Liu Ye blinked, didn't understand, and was too embarrassed to ask again.

Seeing her stupid look, Shen sneered, and explained: "Not only is Yan's family status far above mine, but her appearance is also more beautiful and refined than mine, and she is the main wife that the master is seeking to marry.

You see, in the first half of her life, she had no setbacks at all, and she never had to fight for it by herself.

Therefore, she thought that her husband's love should be given to her as a matter of course, so how could she compromise her identity and compete with me? "

Liu Ye pondered over these words carefully, and had to admit that Mrs. Shen saw it through.

Yan Shi is indeed perfect, if she really intends to win back the master's heart, Shen Shi is no match for her anyway, but fortunately this woman is arrogant and stubborn by nature, she has locked herself in a cage for life and cannot get out.

**

Gu Sheng was carried back to the bedroom by Pomegranate. Although she got rid of the scumbag father, she didn't relax at all. Just now she promised to convince her mother, but she couldn't understand her mother's stubborn temper, and her hope was slim.

In the previous life, Her Royal Highness the Second Princess only helped Gu Sheng a few times, and the Yan family acted like guarding against thieves all day long, preventing Gu Sheng from going out to have a private meeting with him.

At that time, the Second Highness was still a pure and good prince who had never been touched by Mr. Fang Jun. Yan's family still refused to compromise, and believed that these royal lords would sooner or later turn into slutty villains. Now how could he take the initiative to let his daughter Yang Enter the tiger's mouth?

However, the mother's obstruction at the time also saved Gu Sheng's life by mistake——

If she and the Second Highness had successfully developed to get married at that time, then she would probably have to accompany the Second Highness to feel the sharpness of the Ninth Highness's knife, and she would not be able to wait for Gu Rao to send her off.

Thinking that His Highness the Second Highness will eventually die at the hands of His Highness Ninth Highness, Gu Sheng's heart felt dull and painful, and he wished he could go with her.

But she can't be timid, she has to protect her mother, and she has to watch her enemies from her previous life die in despair one by one!

If the Second Highness can be kept, she doesn't need to compete with Gu Rao for the eldest prince, but how can she be saved from the future emperor?

Gu Sheng smiled wryly after thinking about it, now she is not only unable to protect herself, but even a young concubine sister in the family can bully her at will, and she even wants to get involved in the royal family's battle, her heart is higher than the sky, and her life is thinner than paper .

She took a deep breath helplessly, and began to pinch the time with her fingers again.

If she can successfully enter the roster of the preliminary draft this time, then she will be able to enter the Chuxiu Palace at the age of 13, and there is a high chance that she will be sent to the Palace of the Second Highness.

At that time, the Second Highness had just turned 19 years old, and the Ninth Highness... seemed to be only eight years old. The Second Highness should be able to deal with it easily, right?But will the Second Highness believe her words?

Gu Sheng hugged his knees and curled up into a ball in frustration.

It would be great if I could meet the Second Highness in advance.
