Reborn imperial concubine

In the previous life, Gu Sheng first met Jiang Chenyue in the spring of Qiyou's 52nd year.

On that day, on Chiyuan Street to the west of Wuqing Gate, there were rows of roads, carriages and horses lined up for several miles. From time to time, someone would lift the curtain of the car and car to look out, revealing little faces tenderer than spring onions. They all look about fourteen or fifteen years old.

Compared to this, Gu Sheng put down the curtain shyly, huddled in the sedan chair and blushed.

She is 21 years old.

A 21-year-old girl came to participate in the annual Jingjian Conference and compared her looks and talents with a bunch of girls between the ages of 17 and [-]. It was really embarrassing for her.

The Jingjian Conference is held by the beauty pageant department set up by the royal family. Every year, the top three who stand out from the crowd can get a specific royal beauty grade and enjoy the corresponding salary.

Among them, the beauty who won the laurel crown was granted the title of Ronghua of the fourth rank, and the other two were awarded the title of Liangdi of the fifth rank and Liang Yuan of the fifth rank respectively.

Because Gu Sheng was born in the Viscount's mansion, she could only be a concubine if she wanted to enter the royal family. Her Royal Highness the Second Princess didn't want to wrong her, so she wanted to take the road of beauty pageants to elevate her status.

If Gu Sheng can be awarded the top three in this Jingjian Conference, he will be qualified enough to marry into the palace of His Highness the Second Highness as a concubine.

But Gu Sheng really has no confidence in this beauty pageant.

Since the death of her mother, she has been ill and bedridden for three years. Although the Second Highness took good care of her and invited famous imperial physicians to continue her life, her face now is incomparable to that of the past.

If she had come five years earlier, she would have had enough confidence to take the lead, but now...

Gu Sheng sighed softly in the sedan chair. I don't know if it was this sigh that offended God. As soon as the sigh fell, the sedan chair she was riding in suddenly shook violently. At the same time, there was a sudden panic outside the sedan chair. Horseshoes trampling, and the roar of shouting and killing.

In a panic, Gu Sheng's first reaction was to protect her high bun with both hands. It was a flying bun that three maids had put together for her all morning. Step shaking, as small as a pendant, if you move it a little bit, the effect of this bun will be reduced by a few points.

Therefore, Gu Sheng was most worried about messing up his expensive flying bun.

Although she wasn't sure that she would be among the top three, she didn't want to not receive even a single flower lottery in the entire Jingjian Conference.

With her sickly and dejected appearance, she is not afraid of being ashamed, but she doesn't want the second princess to lose face in front of many nobles, so at least she can't dress in a mess.

In a panic, Gu Sheng supported the bun with one hand, lifted the car curtain with the other, and looked out of the car amidst the bumps. Only then did he realize that the bearers who were carrying the sedan chair were fleeing to the alley with the crowd in a panic!

"What happened!" Gu Sheng asked in surprise.

The bearers didn't have the mood to answer, if they hadn't lost the people in the sedan chair, their lives would be in danger when they went back, they would have thrown away the sedan chair and fled away.

Gu Sheng couldn't get an answer, so he turned his head to look around. The originally quiet and orderly street in front of him was in a mess at the moment. A group of black-clothed assassins were fighting with the guards escorting Junjun's car. The carriage scurry around and screams are heard everywhere.

The bearers carrying the sedan chair panicked and saw a red-maned horse that had lost its owner rushing towards him like crazy. Gu Sheng stomped his feet anxiously, pulled the sedan chair curtain and shouted: "Turn left! Turn left quickly!" ! There's a horse coming from behind!"

The bearers had never seen such a scene before. Hearing her shout, they hurriedly swung the sedan chair to turn around, when they saw the horse galloping behind them, and they were so frightened that their legs were like mud and they collapsed to the ground!

The sedan chair clanged to the ground, and Gu Sheng hurriedly opened the door curtain of the sedan chair. Just as he stepped out of one leg, he saw the horse rushing straight from the side of the sedan chair.

She could almost feel the whistling wind of the galloping horse, and it was too late to get out of the sedan chair to dodge. In desperation, Gu Sheng blurted out and screamed: "Your Highness! Your Highness!"

As soon as the voice fell, Gu Sheng vaguely saw behind the red-maned horse, a slender figure in an apricot-yellow single gauze gown, holding a two-foot goose feather knife in his hand, leaping into the air like a dragon.

When it was falling, the figure stepped on the roof of the passing carriage, rushed forward in an instant, and landed firmly on the back of the red-maned horse.

The speed was so fast that it was difficult for Gu Sheng's eyes to catch him.

In the blink of an eye, the red-maned horse was only a few feet away from the sedan chair pole, and Gu Sheng's face could be sprayed with water mist with a snort!

At the very moment, the man on the horse's back pulled up the rein and pulled it sharply to the right and rear, and the red-maned horse neighed loudly.

Gu Sheng could almost hear the slight cracking sound of the horse's neck, and when she regained consciousness, the horse had stopped firmly in front of her sedan chair.

It's hard to describe the mood at that time, Gu Sheng gradually relaxed from the tense body, and felt his whole body was as soft as mud. He didn't pay attention to the rescuer on the horse's back for a while, so he let go of the curtain and leaned back. He collapsed back into the sedan chair.

Also because the man's clothes and saber were the same as the Second Highness's, Gu Sheng felt relaxed, thinking that it was the Second Highness who arrived in time, and did not rush to thank him, just paralyzed in the sedan chair, stroked his chest and took a deep breath.

This problem is serious.

It must be known that the prince outside the sedan chair had never encountered such neglect in his life—after the hero saved the beauty, the beauty hung down the sedan chair curtain and remained silent.

If Gu Sheng had known how vengeful this prince was, he would have crawled out to thank His Highness Hong En even if his legs were weak from fright.

Too bad she didn't say anything.

In fact, Gu Sheng was still waiting for the "Second Highness" outside the sedan chair, and opened the sedan chair curtain to calm her frightened heart.

However, outside the sedan chair, several sedan chair bearers suddenly called out in unison: "Respectfully, Your Highness Ninth Prince, Wanan!"

Gu Sheng, still in shock: "..."

Nine...His Highness Nine?

Does this count as a disgrace in front of the palace?After being rescued by the Huangjue, she lay down in the sedan chair to rest without saying a word. It is estimated that even the mother and concubine of His Highness Ninth Prince did not have such a big air...

It's over, Su Wen, His Highness the Ninth Prince, is not too broad-minded.

Gu Sheng rolled her eyes in panic, and decided to pretend to faint in the sedan chair. Before she could think about it, she heard the sound of the horse's hooves outside the sedan chair, walked gracefully for a few steps, and walked around the side of the sedan chair curtain.

She turned her head in doubt and looked towards the direction of the car curtain. Before she had time to pretend to be dizzy, she saw an ebony knife handle neatly inserted into the curtain, and slowly raised a corner of the car curtain. The dazzling sunlight came directly from the side of the person outside the window Come, it made Gu Sheng dizzy.

She squinted her eyes and looked out of the window, and saw that His Highness the Ninth Highness was wearing a super-grade Royal Nine Chapters robe, which was the same color as the second princess's crown robe, but the patterns were different, and the pattern of the belt was also different, so it was difficult to identify at this moment.

His Highness Ninth Prince sat firmly on the horse, lowered his head and lowered his chin, looking coldly into the sedan chair.

The noon sun was glaring white, she faced Gu Sheng with the backlight, her facial features could not be seen clearly, she could only vaguely feel that under the sunlight, her long hair glowed with a glazed brown luster that made Gu Sheng feel strange, not like two Your Highness's black ink-like long hair.

Those blurred eyes of the same light color are hidden under the deep outline of the brows. Although they are not clear due to the backlight, they still make Gu Sheng tremble as if he is being stared at by a natural enemy.

His Royal Highness is angry?

Gu Sheng's heart jumped into her throat for a moment, and she almost fainted from fright. Her usually clever mind seemed to freeze for a moment under the gaze of this super emperor.

After quickly calming down, Gu Sheng straightened his body, bowed his head and said neither humble nor overbearing: "His Royal Highness, I wish you peace and prosperity, my slave's legs and feet are inconvenient, and I can't get out of the sedan chair to greet you. I beg your Highness to forgive me."

Gu Sheng finished speaking with his heart beating wildly, only to hear the other party's impatient "Yeah."

After a short pause, Gu Sheng realized that His Highness Ninth Prince had no intention of leaving at all after "hmm", the handle of the knife was still firmly holding her car curtain, and he wondered if his arm would be sore.

Gu Sheng frowned and hesitated for a while, and finally said softly uncertainly: "Thank you, His Highness Jiu, for saving your life?"

"Humph."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Sheng heard the other party's cold snort of unknown meaning, and then there was a clatter, His Royal Highness retracted the handle of the knife, lowered the car curtain, and turned the horse's head angrily and left. dissatisfied.

Gu Sheng was still in shock, covered his heart with his hands, and stared at the car curtain in a daze. After about a quarter of an hour, he heard the anxious call of the Second Highness from outside.

"A Sheng!" His Highness the Second Highness led the guard of honor behind the royal family. When he heard that the back road was ambushed by assassins, he immediately turned around and whipped his horse and searched all the way. Finally, he found Gu Sheng's sedan chair. As soon as he jumped off the horse, he hurriedly opened the sedan chair. The door curtain, help Gu Sheng out to breathe.

"Your Highness..." Gu Sheng's eyes were filled with tears. Seeing the Second Princess at this time, she couldn't help but reveal the grievances that had just been frightened by the fierce Ninth Highness. She choked up and asked, "What happened?" gone?"

His Highness put his arms around her shoulders, rested his chin on her hair, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, they are just a group of bereaved dogs from Beidi."

Gu Sheng nodded, suddenly remembered something, looked up at the second princess with tears in his eyes, choked up and said, "Is my bun messed up?"

The Second Highness burst out laughing, shook her head helplessly and pinched her face: "You..."

Gu Sheng sweetly turned back into the arms of the Second Highness, and said coquettishly as much as possible: "Your Highness, I seem to have accidentally offended someone, can you forgive me?"

The Second Highness smiled nonchalantly, "Who is it?"

Gu Sheng replied lightly: "You are the Ninth Emperor Sister."

Second Highness: "..."
