1697 Queen Mother's Birthday

When he heard that the little girl standing in front of him turned out to be the Princess Huguo, Gu Xintao immediately panicked, and knelt down with a "plop": "Princess Huguo, I'm sorry, it's a common girl who has no eyes."

Tan Yushu saw this person knelt on the ground and shrank, and knew that this person was Gu Xiaowan's cousin. Although he didn't like this person very much, because of her status, Tan Yushu would not do anything to him, so he said: " Get up quickly."

After hearing this, Gu Xintao wanted to get up, but due to the two tremblings of fright, her legs were as weak as rotten noodles, she was so frightened that she couldn't stand up, she knelt down again with a "crash", then Looking timid, Tan Yu wrote a trace of helplessness and looked at Gu Xiaowan.

Gu Xiaowan shook her head at her, signaling her to leave it alone, then she saw Gu Xiaowan stepped forward to help Gu Xintao up and said: "Get up if the princess tells you to. If you have nothing to do in the future, you don't have to come to my yard. "

Is Gu Xiaowan restraining her feet?

He even told her not to come!

Gu Xintao didn't show it on the surface, but in her heart she hated her to death.

Facing Princess Huguo, she couldn't say a word. After all, Princess Huguo's status was unparalleled, so how could she, an ordinary citizen, do anything wrong.

Ah Zuo stepped forward to support Gu Xintao, like an eagle lifting a chick, and dragged her away.

Gu Xintao left, and everyone returned to the calm just now.

Seeing that this person came to Qingyuan like this, Tan Yushu said, "Sister, how did she find the capital?"

Gu Xiaowan shook her head, she really didn't know.

"I only know that my uncle and my cousin are still taking the imperial examination in Rui County. I don't know why they came back."

"Sister, I don't know if I should say something!" Tan Yushu hesitated.

Gu Xiaowan looked at her and motioned her to continue: "Tell me, if there is anything between us sisters, you can say it!"

"Sister, I always feel that this Gu Xintao has come prepared! The Empress Dowager is about to celebrate her birthday. If she came here because her brother is about to take the imperial examination, how does she know that her brother will definitely pass the exam? If they are not successful, what will they do? Will they stay in the capital? Where will they live? Do they still plan to stay in your Qingyuan for the rest of their lives?" Tan Yushu asked suspiciously.

This is not a united family, and it always feels weird to live together. Besides, she also knows that the eldest family of the Gu family has done many things that hurt Gu Xiaowan.

Can a weasel turn into a chicken overnight?

Can't change!

Some people are bad, and they will always be bad!

Gu Xiaowan shook her head and sneered: "Stay in Qingyuan for the rest of your life? Then you can see if she has that fate and stay on!"

If Gu Xintao didn't use any dirty tricks, she could still keep them for a longer stay, but if they had Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, then Gu Xiaowan didn't mind and gave them an extra ride.

Tan Yushu's words made Gu Xiaowan pay more attention. After Tan Yushu left, Gu Xiaowan directly asked Ah Mo to go to Rui County to check on Gu Xintao's situation.

Her brother was still taking the imperial examination in Rui County, why did she come first?

From then on, Gu Xiaowan became more wary of Gu Xintao and Sun Xi'e. According to Gu Xintao's haughty temperament, it is definitely not as simple as coming here to find a place to stay temporarily.

Gu Xintao's mother and daughter stayed behind and were arranged in a secluded courtyard far away from Gu Xiaowan's. There was a well and a kitchen in the courtyard. Every day, Kou Hai went to buy meals for the two of them, and then Dan gave them the meals they needed to eat today, and ignored everything else.

Gu Xintao didn't expect Gu Xiaowan to be so ruthless, saying that there were no maids and servants, and there really were none.

Moreover, in the big courtyard where Gu Xiaowan and the others lived, Gu Xintao and Sun Xi'e couldn't get even half a step closer.

The maids and servants in the yard seemed to have eyes, as long as they got a little closer, they would be noticed, and then quietly came to them, warned them that they had broken the rules, and then asked them to go back.

Gu Xintao wanted to get closer to Gu Xiaowan many times, but every time it ended without a problem. Gu Xintao was furious. Seeing that the deadline set by Princess Mingdu was getting closer, she didn't catch any of Gu Xiaowan's tricks, but she was desperate.

Ah Mo took the order to go, but it took a lot of time to go back and forth to the capital, so before getting any news from Gu Xintao, the Empress Dowager's birthday had already arrived.

Gu Xiaowan helped Princess Lihua get 300,000 taels of silver, and the empress dowager was overjoyed. Then a decree was issued to let Gu Xiaowan and Tan Yushu enter the palace in advance, to accompany Princess Lihua in the palace, and to attend the Queen Mother's birthday directly in the palace the next day.

As a folk woman, Gu Xiaowan was the first person who was personally invited by the Empress Dowager to celebrate her birthday on the first day. Even Princess Mingdu has never received such courtesy.

After the news spread throughout the capital, everyone was in an uproar.

They all speculated about Gu Xiaowan's identity with the Empress Dowager.

The empress dowager would only let Tan Yushu stay there for one night on her birthday. After all, Tan Yushu grew up at the feet of the empress dowager.

Gu Xiaowan didn't have any relatives, but the Empress Dowager loved her so much, so the Princess Anping immediately became the first hot topic in the Qing Dynasty.

The Empress Dowager's birthday finally began on a sunny day. Gu Xiaowan and Tan Yushu dressed up and went to the Empress Dowager's banquet.

The eldest princess Lihua mainly accompanied the empress dowager, so Gu Xiaowan and Tan Yunshu came to the main hall first and waited. they

The two of them did not come early, and before they entered the hall, they saw that there were already many people in the hall, either standing in twos or threes, or sitting in their seats in twos and threes, chatting or talking, quietly Waiting patiently for the arrival of the emperor and empress dowager. The chanting eunuch sang "The Lord of the Protecting Country, the Lord of Anping has arrived"!

Immediately, all eyes in the hall turned to Gu Xiaowan.

I saw the Princess Huguo and an elegantly dressed woman approaching slowly.

I saw the woman wearing a lotus-colored gauze skirt winding across the floor, and wearing a snow-white fox-fur jacket. The snow-white water color made the girl's face look like a picture scroll.
