late night song

Chapter 79
After a leisurely journey, Gu Yuchu stepped onto the gate of the snow station for the first time.

"Is my sister here?"

There was no girl accompanying her, so she naturally broke into Nuan Pavilion and saw Princess Chaoyang at a glance.

"Hey, the princess is here too. Best wishes, princess."

Gu Yuchu was no less good at pretending to be pretentious and flattering.

"Princess Qin got up very early. Please sit down quickly. Why do you come to Xiaoxi?"

Princess Chaoyang looked kind, while Gun Nanxi leaned on the cushions, but ignored her as her mother greeted her.

"At the family banquet, the princess asked me to take good care of my sister in front of everyone. How could I dare to neglect my sister? I got some medicinal recipes from Concubine Mengyi to strengthen the fetus, and specially ordered the kitchen to prepare them. Yes, there is mandarin duck and chicken stew here, and..."

Before Gu Yuchu could finish speaking, Gun Nanxi frowned in disgust and interrupted unceremoniously:

"Gu Yuchu, what do you mean? You clearly know that the imperial concubine didn't survive both of her pregnancies, and you still gave me some of the recipes she gave me. What kind of peace of mind do you have!"

"Shut up!"

Princess Chaoyang scolded, glared at Nanxi who couldn't keep calm, and then turned to apologize to Gu Yuchu:

"Xiao Xi is just pregnant. Her body is not used to it yet and her temper is a little irritable. Please forgive me, Princess."

"If anything, it's my fault. I thought that the prescription in the palace must be good, but I didn't expect that it would bring bad luck to my sister. I ordered it to be thrown away and I'll find a better prescription another day and send it to you. To my sister."

Gu Yuchu looked apologetic, pretending to be very good.But Gun Nanxi obviously didn't accept her favor and still looked like he didn't want to see her.

"Then sister, please rest well, I will go back first."

Gu Yuchu smiled awkwardly and aggrievedly at Princess Chaoyang, deliberately said goodbye, turned around and left.

"Princess, it is the principle of hospitality to stay and leave as soon as you arrive. If you don't mind, why not try the pastries I brought from my house."

Princess Chaoyang was a sensible person. She knew that if she let Gu Yuchu go like this, her daughter would be spoiled and arrogant. To put it nicely, she would not give the princess face, but to put it worst, she would be taking advantage of her pregnancy to become the head of the household. The mother's head is on her head, and it is even more inappropriate to spread it to Qi Zhen.

So, she quickly reconciled and tried to persuade her to stay, but Gun Nanxi was very impatient when she heard her mother say this.

"Isn't that annoying?" Gu Yuchu smiled, playing right into her heart.

"It's okay, Princess, sit here." Princess Chaoyang asked her to sit at the round table in the bedroom again, and then brought the food box on the table for Gu Yuchu to taste.

"Yeah, there are so many delicious foods?"

When Gu Yuchu saw the table full of exquisite pastries, he showed a very unfamiliar look, which made Princess Nanxi roll her eyes and laugh at her.

"Princess, please." Princess Chaoyang was very polite.

"Then I'm welcome."

Gu Yu chose a piece of dessert that was usually the last thing she would choose, and happily ate it. The taste was really tooth-droppingly sweet, but she still insisted on eating it with gusto and refused to let her preferences slip away.

"I heard that there was an old concubine in the palace who was the best at making pastries and medicinal meals. She served many concubines in the harem and gave birth to sons. It was precisely because of this that she was promoted from a personal maid in the Queen Mother's palace. He became a serious master, and later he was promoted to Zhaoyi, but I don’t know whether it’s true or not.”

Gu Yuchu suddenly talked about the rumors in the palace that she didn't know were true or false, but she was more convinced of the existence of this concubine than anyone else, because she was the concubine who was chosen by Grand Master Yuchi and specially sent to the palace to serve the little Empress Yuchi who was pregnant. At the same time, A beautiful cook who won the favor of the late emperor and consolidated the favor of the Yuchi clan. "Princess Qin's information is really well-informed, but she has a bad background and was introduced by a sinner clan. The Queen Mother was sent to the cold palace when she went to the west. She still does not know whether she is alive or dead." Princess Chaoyang responded.

"What kind of criminal clan?" Gu Yuchu asked pretending to be curious.

"Weichi."

Princess Nanxi couldn't help but interject, feeling that this Gu Yuchu really didn't know anything, and she didn't know what Qi Jian liked in him?Princess Chaoyang then rolled her eyes at her daughter again, warning her not to always speak openly.

"As for that major treason case that cannot be revealed, is our prince's mother..."

After saying that, Gu Yuchu was startled and covered his mouth, looking very scared.

"The Yuchi clan brought it upon themselves, and the prince's mother was implicated in the crime!" Gun Nanxi, who always defended Qi frame, retorted heartily.

"But how come I heard that Yuchi was protecting her...and then being framed?" Gu Yuchu coughed dryly and looked at Princess Chaoyang guiltily, but he did not mention Concubine Yi.

"Now that the old case has been concluded, that is what the Holy Emperor meant. Even though we are in the palace, we must be careful that walls have ears and be careful of violating taboos." Princess Chaoyang was very cautious and decisively stopped this sensitive topic.

"I was rude... Let's get down to business. I heard that the old concubine is still alive. There are also rumors that when she was a palace maid in the past, all the nobles Zhaoyi who ate her medicinal diet gave birth to princes successfully. Meng When Concubine Yi was about to give birth, she specifically asked the Holy One to let her out to serve her. I also heard that although Concubine Yi was unfortunate enough to have a miscarriage, all of them were boys."

Gu Yuchu stopped worrying about why the Yuchi clan was so unpopular and turned to the main topic of the trip.She deliberately lowered her voice and emphasized the matter of Concubine Mengyi's miscarriage. Seeing that Princess Chaoyang did not respond, she continued to encourage:
"If it is really so miraculous, wouldn't it be better to ask the prince to ask the emperor to bring the old concubine to his house to serve his sister?"

"Not to mention whether this matter is true or not, even if it is true, it would be too much to bother the King of Qin with this trivial matter. Besides, the old concubine has a special status, so as to avoid the Holy Emperor's suspicion, it is not suitable for the King of Qin to come forward."

Princess Chaoyang refused sternly, thinking that her daughter's noble status should be suppressed by Princess Qin who had no brains at all, and she couldn't help but feel aggrieved for her.

"Yes, yes, I didn't think it through well, but I heard that Shuangyue's pregnancy is mostly a boy, and the prince is always looking forward to it. Even if the old concubine can be invited, it will be the icing on the cake, but I have thought too much. "

Gu Yuchu laughed along awkwardly. Seeing that the mother and daughter stopped talking to each other, he wisely said that he had other things to do and hurried away.

But just as she expected, after she left, Gun Nanxi hurriedly took her mother's hand and mentioned the old concubine expectantly.

"Mother, is what she said true? If so, can you..."

"Do you think she would be so kind? If you give birth to a boy, will she still be able to maintain her position as the head wife?"

"It makes sense! Then...does she also want to bring someone into the house so that she can get pregnant quickly, but she can't let her succeed!"

Gun Nanxi thought about it for a long time and felt that this was the most likely possibility, but then she thought about it. The most important thing was to ensure that she was the first to give birth to a boy, so she couldn't get angry with Gu Yuchu.

"But, mother, I..." She lowered her head and touched her flat belly, but hesitated to speak.

Princess Chaoyang held Gun Nanxi's hand. She understood her daughter's concerns very well. Although she also believed that Gu Yuchu had ulterior motives, she would rather believe him or not. Only by giving birth to the eldest son of King Qin could her daughter truly stabilize the Qin Dynasty. A princess, and even the future master of the harem.

"Don't worry, if the old concubine is still alive, my mother will try her best to take her out of the palace, but she can't be connected to Prince Qin's palace to take advantage of that woman."

While Princess Chaoyang comforted her, she thought of a better way: "Then just take her to the Nanchang Prince's Mansion. It won't be too troublesome at all. I'll have someone bring you medicinal meals every day."

"Thank you mother."

Gun Nanxi hugged her mother excitedly, thinking that she had her mother's love and father's support, so was she still afraid that she could not defeat the two helpless Gu sisters? !
