Reborn imperial concubine

At dawn, Gu Sheng slowly woke up from all kinds of dreams in his previous life. He didn't know where he was in a trance, and blurted out in panic: "Jiang Han...Jiang Han..."

Yan Shi, who was hugging her at the side, immediately woke up, looked down at her daughter, thinking that she was having a nightmare, so she gently pushed Gu Sheng's small arm, and coaxed: "Sheng'er is not afraid, wake up quickly."

When Gu Sheng heard her mother's voice, the fog in front of her eyes gradually became clear. She blinked, turned over, and buried her little head in her mother's arms without making a sound.

When she fell asleep again, Yan Shi tucked in the quilt, patted her back lightly, and hummed a little tune, trying to reassure the little girl.

**

This sutra banquet was almost regarded as a mighty Hundred Days of Wine specially organized for His Highness the Ninth Prince, and the ostentation could be described as extravagant.

This is not only because the first super-grade emperor was born in the Great Xia Dynasty, but it also proves that the Heqin Princess from Northern Europe is deeply favored by Emperor Qi You.

This incident aroused the dissatisfaction of many important officials in the court. After all, half of the blood of foreign races flowed in this super-grade little princess.

However, Emperor Qi You's preference for him will directly affect the wind direction of the future crown prince, leading to a great possibility that the throne will fall into the hands of dragons who are not of pure Xia clan blood.

Therefore, the three elders headed by the chief minister of the cabinet, Yang Xishu, dozens of officials in the six divisions, and all the serving students from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate all came from Yang Xishu's family. Participate in this feast.

Gu Sheng's father was not affected by this struggle. Gu Xuanqing, as the history of the merit examination department of the Ministry of Officials, has too little official rank, and the big shots above have no time to win him over to stand in line, which also prevents Gu Sheng from losing this opportunity A chance to enter the palace.

Gu Sheng's memory of this banquet is very vague, after all, she was a real five-year-old at that time.

Except for some instinctive fear of the people sitting on the dragon chair headed by the center of the hall, the rest of the attention was focused on the delicious dishes.

The image that Gu Sheng remembers most is the white lumps formed in the soup of those dishes.

Due to the long journey from the Imperial Dining Room to Fengtian Temple, although the dishes on the table are expensive, the temperature has already dissipated. Except for the royal family and a few important officials who enjoy the treatment of accompanying charcoal stoves, almost all the dishes on the table are white. Huahua's lard is freezing to the point of freezing.

But this did not affect Gu Sheng's satisfaction with this big meal in his memory - it was so delicious!

Even though many years later, Gu Sheng had tasted the dishes from the Imperial Dining Room at the residence of the Second Highness, but he was not as surprised as he was then.

In other words, apart from the food, she had no other impressions of the banquet, and she couldn't even remember whether the Second Highness was present.

Only one step at a time.

On the day of the banquet, Gu Xuanqing brought the Yan family and three children of noble blood in the mansion to the banquet together.

As a concubine, Shen Shi was naturally not eligible to enter the venue, and had gone to the Zhuangzi to raise her by herself a month earlier.

Both Gu Sheng and Gu Rao were brought by the Yan family to sit in the family's Jungui area. Before the sun set, the officials and nobles who attended the banquet had already entered the palace and waited.

The emperor probably waited for everyone to arrive before he arrived, and there were only a few low-rank concubines and little princes sitting in the royal area in the center of the hall.

Gu Sheng's eyes were almost sour, and he didn't even recognize whether the Second Highness was among them.

At this time, His Royal Highness should be 11 years old, and Gu Sheng may not be familiar with his figure and appearance. The third prince who will be born after that is only a few months younger than her, and the imperial robes are all the same color, only the tattoos are different. Difficult to tell.

In such a vast hall with a width of nine rooms and a depth of five rooms, it is difficult for the afterglow of the setting sun to penetrate the entire hall. Gu Sheng's eyesight is really limited, so he can only try to find it later, when all the octagonal palace lanterns are lit up. up.

Gu Rao at the side was still cleaning up the desserts on the low table, and the last plate of jujube cake in her hand was nothing but scum.

Yan shi brought two juveniles, Junjun, and could only sit on the same long table for dinner. She originally wanted to take the plate from Gu Rao's hands, and feed Gu Sheng some desserts to pad her stomach.

But Gu Rao stared at her while eating, bared his teeth and stared like a warning, like a dog protecting the food, making her unable to do anything.

Gu Sheng sneered disdainfully, pulled Yan's sleeve, said that he was not hungry, and muttered in his heart, "Eat, eat, wait for the real imperial meal to be served later, and see how many bites you can eat." !"

Even though he thought so, the saliva in Gu Sheng's mouth betrayed her ruthlessly. After swallowing repeatedly, he heard his stomach growling.

She only hated why this palace banquet was so rigid. On a table, each dessert was served on only one plate, it was so inhumane!Underage children are human beings too!

Even if she is not hungry, this sweet smell can drive her crazy!

At this moment, Yan Shi was so angry that she almost tore off her veil. It was only because the nobles were all leaning on their short tables, and the slightest movement would alarm other people.

At the side, Junjun, a man with a gentle appearance, was feeding his child cakes one mouthful at a time. Yan felt sad to see that she wanted to feed Gu Sheng too, but Gu Rao dominated all the dishes.

Although Gu Rao was not born in person by Yan Shi, but the other Jun Jun who was present didn't know the situation in her family very well, so Yan Shi couldn't compete with Gu Rao for food in public to feed her daughter.Moreover, Gu Rao is such a shameless and sloppy master, Yan Shi can only bear it not to get angry.

When the next plate of salt and pepper peach cakes came to the table, Yan's eyes were quick and his hands were quick. Before the plate in the maid's hand fell off the table, he picked up the spoon and chopsticks, picked up half of the plate of peach cakes in one fell swoop, and couldn't wait to stuff them into Gu Sheng's mouth!

That scene... made Gu Sheng laugh!

She has never seen her noble and glamorous mother so extensive since she grew up. She was really moved and couldn't help "hahaha" laughing out tears.

Seeing that Yan Shi snatched her dessert, Gu Rao was naturally annoyed, but just as she was about to take back "her" peach cakes, she saw Gu Sheng laughing and impatiently licking all the peach cakes that were handed to her mouth. The saliva dragged on for a long time, so she had no choice but to give up angrily.

Gu Sheng grabbed a peach cake with his own saliva in his small hand, and happily handed it to Yan's mouth. Yan kept pushing, saying that he was not hungry, and pretending to dislike her daughter's saliva, and refused to eat it no matter what.

But Gu Sheng refused to obey, and Yan Shi refused to eat, so she twisted like a loach and acted like a baby, causing the men and women around Junjun to cast envious and loving eyes.

A man couldn't help but praise: "This child is so filial, my Huan'er is eight years old, and..."

"Daddy!" The little girl sitting beside him immediately pouted to protest her father's exposure of her past.

As soon as these words came out, several young Jun Jun who had nothing to say beside him showed envy, looked at Gu Sheng with smiles in their eyes, and said that they hoped that they could have such a sensible child.

Someone saw that Gu Rao was eating alone with a plate in his arms, and couldn't help saying softly: "Little girl, you should also learn from your sister, so that mother will love you even more."

"She's not my mother!" Gu Rao raised her head when she heard the words, and shouted without restraint.

A group of Junjun were frightened and dumbfounded when they heard the words, and they all cast doubtful eyes on Yan - how can there be a child who does not recognize his mother?

Forced to do nothing, Yan had no choice but to publicize her family ugliness, euphemistically revealing that Gu Rao's scandal was caused by her aunt.

Junjun present here are all from ordinary monogamous families. Hearing Yan's understatement, they all moved their hearts with compassion.

Some people even looked at Gu Rao with disgust, and muttered in a low but clear voice: "So she is a concubine, Mrs. Yan is really generous, such a lowly concubine is willing to bring such an occasion, you are really a bodhisattva." .”

Gu Rao had never felt the differential treatment from concubine and concubine at home, and always thought that her status was higher than Gu Sheng's. Seeing everyone's contemptuous gazes at this moment, she felt a strong sense of fear for the first time.

Gu Rao was very angry, but more of it was fear. After all, Shen Shi and Master Gu were not around, so she could only bow her head at the table and stop arguing, thinking about going back to complain to her father and Shen Shi.

At six o'clock in the unitary hour, when Jun Jun and the others were having a good chat, there was a sound of whips being fired outside the hall, and the voice of the servant resounded throughout the hall: "The emperor has arrived——"

Everyone hurriedly got up and bowed their heads and knelt down. Gu Sheng, relying on his small body, hid in the crowd and quietly raised his head, peeking through the crowd.

Surrounded by a group of palace people, Emperor Qi You, who was wearing a dragon robe with arrow-sleeved gold silk and nine dragon patterns on a bright yellow background, strode into the hall with his head held high.

Followed by the side was the empress crowned with nine dragons and four phoenixes. She was still holding a small quilt in her hand, which wrapped the Nine Emperors who had just finished breastfeeding and was sleeping soundly.

There are also a group of princes and noble concubines, all respectfully following the emperor and empress towards the middle of the hall.

Emperor Qi You turned around in front of the dragon chair, and stood majestically facing the crowd.

Immediately, there was a rainbow-like sound in the hall, "Regardly, the emperor's peace, and the empress's peace."

"Exemption."

When he got up, Gu Sheng had already locked on the right side of Emperor Qi You, the thin figure with indifferent phoenix eyes standing among the emperors.

"Jiang Han..." Gu Sheng clenched his fist tightly.
