The person disappeared, but the outer robe he had worn before fell from her shoulders because of her sudden movement, and used the existence of this robe to announce the fact that the person had really appeared before.

Qi Huan sat down and continued to relax for a while in a daze. He waited until his body had completely recovered his strength before getting up, crossing the railing and returning to the corridor.

She bent over, picked up the robe on the ground, slapped off the dust, and folded it but was difficult.

Later, she would have to stay in the palace for at least two hours. She could not carry such a big piece of clothing with her.

If she took Gu Zhan's robe back to the front yard, where dozens of eyes were looking at her, how would she explain?

But if he wanted to stay in this corridor, he was afraid that in this occasion today, if his clothes were picked up by someone with ulterior motives, he would not be able to explain clearly at that time, and it might cause trouble.

Qi Huan was holding the robe in his hand and was worried when he saw someone walking up the path in the big garden on the path not far away.

She was holding a man's robe in her hand, and it was a bad thing that someone caught her, so she quickly took a two-step back and wanted to hide behind the corridor column.

Let's take a closer look...

But I recognized that the man was Madam Jiao who went to his house to preach the order early yesterday.

Yang once said that this nanny was Empress Gu’s confidant and had grown up watching Gu Zhan grow up, so at least she would not take the opportunity to cheat him!

She took a deep breath, walked out quickly, and went up the corridor to meet her.

"Madam Jiao." She shouted.

Madam Jiao stopped and turned to look.

Qi Huan then quickly found an exit and walked around the corridor to her.

Madam Jiao recognized her at first sight and showed a smile: "Are you a big girl from the Changning Marquis' Mansion?"

Qi Huan was actually a little nervous. Gu Zhan said that Queen Gu would not make things difficult for her, but that was just his one-sided view. He was someone else's younger brother, and Queen Gu was reluctant to blame him, which did not mean that she could tolerate others.

Because of the closeness and distant relationships, everyone will inevitably have a certain degree of double standards.

Qi Huan’s own mother, Yang, is the best proof. Yang will not blame her for anything she does, but if she changes her body, she will definitely change her face.

"Hello Madam Jiao." Qi Huan was brave enough to salute her. In order to avoid her having time to suspicion, she immediately put the robe in her hands: "This robe was picked up by the lady in the corridor just now, and there was no one else nearby, so I gave it to the nanny."

Before, she had not entered Fengming Palace through the gate. Queen Gu might not have paid attention to such details, but the people around her would never make such a big omission. Qi Huan felt that this Madam Jiao should have a clear idea of ​​her and Gu Zhan’s previous whereabouts.

She felt a little uneasy and nervous, and she tried her best to maintain the rules and calmness on her face.

Madam Jiao took the robe in her hand, but still just smiled: "Okay."

She didn't ask a word so much, and Qi Huan became more and more sure that she knew all this.

"Then..." But Madam Jiao didn't say anything else, so she could only pretend to be fine and bit the bullet and speak again, "Then the lady will go back to the yard first."

Madam Jiao said, "I will lead you over and take away this clothes."

While speaking, she shook her sleeves and covered her clothes on her hands.

"I'm sorry, Madam."

Qi Huan felt that she must be afraid that she would run around without understanding the rules, so she had to take her back in person.

But she doesn't care. As long as the other party doesn't make things difficult for her, think whatever she likes.

Madam Jiao led the way and took her out of the bamboo garden.

In the big garden in front, the palace servants came and served, and a group of beautiful and beautiful ladies gathered together.

It was okay now, so Queen Gu did not show up, but only ordered the palace servants to prepare tea, snacks and some entertainment props.

But a group of ladies would never fight cocks and walk dogs under the noses of the queen in Fengming Palace...

So, as Gu Zhan said, they are gathering together to compete for their talents.

It looks like compliments and jokes on the surface, but it is actually a competition.

Of course, there are also people who are not outstanding in the training of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. For example, Qi Huan's cousin Gao Yunmiao, who was so frustrated that she sat down to drink tea.

Madam Jiao only led Qi Huan here and stopped on the outside: "The girls are all there, so you can go and have fun, don't be restrained."

"Okay, thank you Madam Jiao for her advice." Qi Huan once again thanked her.

Madam Jiao took the clothes and left first.

She walked all the way through the front hall and entered the back hall of Queen Gu's bedroom.

Fengming Palace is the largest palace in the harem. Although a group of girls are playing in the garden in front, the sound cannot be heard into the harem.

The sky has gradually become hotter recently. The palace servants opened the windows and Empress Gu sat behind the table in the small study to handle the palace affairs.

Empress Gu’s boudoir name is Gu Wanwan. She just turned 17 when she married the emperor. She got married at the end of the first lunar month and got twins at the end of the year at the end of the winter.

At that time, she and the emperor were still newly married, and it was a time of deep love. In addition, the emperor's first legitimate son was officially crowned the crown prince at one month old.

Queen Gu is now only in her early thirties.

And because I have been doing well over the years, my appearance is still radiant.

But she has a calm temperament, and at first glance, she looks too serious and majestic.

At that time, she was the only one in the small study, and all the palace maids were waiting in the yard.

Hearing the footsteps coming in, Queen Gu stopped writing and looked up at her: "Why have you been there for so long?"

Madam Jiao lowered her sleeves and revealed the clothes she held in her hand.

Gu Zhan came over before, and he came to see her first. Queen Gu recognized that it was the outer robe he wore today. She was puzzled for a moment and couldn't help but be stunned: "This is..."

Madam Jiao said, "Run away."

Queen Gu was silent for a moment and didn't say anything.

Madam Jiao said, "The two of them talked in the corridor of the bamboo garden for a while, and sat for a while. The prince was a thin-skinned, and the old slave was embarrassed to approach the wall. He guarded the entrance of the garden and looked at him from a distance. Although the two met in private, they did not exceed the rules. Look... it seems that the girl didn't mean that."

"That's hard to deal with." Queen Gu pondered, "That kid is just a ignorant..."

When he glanced at the clothes that Madam Jiao held in her hand again, he was even more surprised: "Then what is the clothes in your hand?"

Madam Jiao even had a hard time expressing her expression: "The two were sitting in the corridor, but they didn't say anything, and they trapped the girl. Only then did our prince sneak out of clothes and put them on the cold. The old slave looked at him sitting over, and was embarrassed to look at him again, so he avoided and avoided it. As a result, he went back..."

She looked down at the clothes in her hand and sighed: "There is no one, only a piece of clothes left."

She stood at the entrance of the bamboo garden, not to block Gu Zhan and Qi Huan, but mainly because she was afraid that someone in the garden would run around restlessly and break in.

Gu Zhan must have climbed over the wall from the bamboo forest and never passed through the garden here again.

Madam Jiao recounted Qi Huan's words and deeds after meeting Qi Huan, and finally said: "That girl and slave met twice before and after. If you want to be dull and dull, that's definitely not. Just acting towards today's situation is quite quick. And there are quite some regulations and plans for speaking and doing things. You should be an idea-friendly child."

As for why the girl of the Qi family is not interested in climbing the Duke of Pingguo Mansion...

Although most people will definitely flock to you when they encounter such opportunities and will be happy without thinking, people who are clear-headed and calm enough will plan and weigh the pros and cons in the long run.

The wife of the Qi family, Yang, married into Beijing regardless of the highest family. Outsiders don’t know what life she has lived over the years. However, Qi Huan, her biological daughter, was influenced by her, and would further worry and reject the unfamiliar marriage. This is not surprising.

Even if sometimes when turbidity has become a normal state, it does not prevent this indulgent and a few sober people from wanting to go upstream and walk their own path.

Queen Gu was silent again and speechless for a long time.

Madam Jiao began to worry and tried to remind her: "Do you need someone to ask someone to get the prince back?"

Queen Gu came back to her senses, but waved her hand and said, "Forget it, he is not happy. Can I still ask someone to tie him to the mat? Just leave."

At today's banquet, she did not say hello to Gu Zhan in advance, but later asked someone to send oral instructions to ask him to come today.

One of them is to meet Qi Huan in person, but I feel that my younger brother is too unscrupulous and the window paper has not been broken. How could there be any progress?

Therefore, today's so-called Hundred Flowers Banquet in Fengming Palace is a disguised blind date banquet she specially prepared for Gu Zhan.

She looked at Qi Huan, and asked Gu Zhan to see other girls.

No matter what, no matter which direction it is going, it has made some progress, right? He cannot stay in the capital for a long time. The old man is alone on the northwest border, and no one feels at ease.

Now it's OK-

She had no intention of making things difficult for Qi Huan. Gu Zhan, the enemy, went to ask her a problem and left a mess.

Madam Jiao was also worried about the later banquet: "That's it?"

This banquet was originally held in the name of Queen Gu. Although no one could pick out what she was, she suddenly called a group of girls, and they were all called by the name of "Hang" and the candidates had not been selected according to the level of the family's official position. The signs of choosing as they please were too obvious. Some people would always speculate on the intention behind their backs.

Queen Gu didn't think there was any difficulty in this. After thinking for a moment, she smiled and said, "You go to Your Majesty's place and ask him to let the prince come over during the luncheon. Isn't it just a look at him? Gu Zhan refused, so let's ask him to come and take a look."

The prince's age has also arrived. Instead of asking those who believe in ulterior motives to speculate behind the scenes, she would rather put everything on the table clearly and let them see and taste it.

Madam Jiao felt that the prince who was dragged out by her own mother as a shield was a bit miserable, but then she thought that it was not the first time anyway, and everyone got used to it, so she put Gu Zhan's clothes into a box and went to do this.

Queen Gu's side was not influenced by her unscrupulous brother for too long, so she picked up her pen and continued to handle the palace affairs.

In this part of the garden, Qi Huan walked over.

Among the girls who came today, she had probably scanned the circle and knew only three people-

Gao Yunmiao, Qin Ying and Ye Xunyi.

Gao Yunmiao and Qin Ying both learned about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they can learn some of them, but they are not good at it and are not outstanding. They can usually play with themselves at home, but now they have to ask them to compare with others in public? That is absolutely impossible!

The two sat together tacitly and had tea and chatted with the other two girls.

According to her self-reported self-report in the original work, she was originally an unpopular concubine. She was locked in a villain in a villa and had to die for more than ten years. Later, her family needed to marry into a chess piece, so she got her back. Her aunt was not from a good background, so naturally she couldn't teach her. So after she returned home in her first life, she was useless except for a pretty face. In this way, she was still suppressed by her sister, the most beautiful woman in the capital.
