Chapter 255: Reeds and Grass



"Qing Xing. Do you have anything to say to Xiao Dengzi?"

Gu Yunru winked at Qingxing behind him, and Qingxing's face turned pale and she shook her head. She didn't have anything to say to Xiaodengzi. Gu Yunru thought that it was time to make things clear with Xiaodengzi, lest Xiaodengzi still stared at Qingxing eagerly.

Qingxing is about to marry Huang Zijun.

"Little Stool, I have good news to announce today."

"What good news?" Xiao Dengzi followed behind Gu Yunru and looked at him eagerly. Gu Yunru deliberately kept him in suspense and did not explain it to him directly. He looked at Qingxing with a meaningful look.

"Good news for Qingxing. The Queen Mother will soon issue an order to allow Qingxing to enter the General's Mansion."

As soon as these words came out, Xiaodengzi was struck by lightning, and he stood stiffly in place. At that moment, he seemed to feel despair, but soon returned to his usual cheerful appearance.

"Really? Then congratulations, Miss Qingxing."

Xiaodengzi pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly. Gu Yunru looked at Xiaodengzi and found that he was really smart and knew how to hide his emotions. Maybe it was because he had been with the emperor for too long.

But the sadness in his eyes still made people feel a little bit uncomfortable. Qingxing didn't say anything and had a cold face.

Gu Yunru asked Xiaodengzi to go back first. She and Qingxing strolled in the back garden, looking at the clusters of flowers blooming brightly. The Aoji floating jade appeared on the lotus pond, looking majestic and grand.

"Princess...what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?" Qingxing looked at Gu Yunru, who looked exhausted as she walked along, as if she was worried about something.

"It's okay. I just felt a little unhappy when I saw Xiao Dengzi's expression was a little lonely. But nothing is more important than your happiness. But how Huang Zijun treats you in the future is not something I can control."

Gu Yunru was even more reluctant to let go. Qingxing, this silly girl, seemed to be simple-minded. She spoke without thinking and acted recklessly. She seemed to have no plan at all and pale in comparison with Shen Aojun.

"Princess, thank you for planning for Qingxing. Qingxing will definitely grasp her happiness and will not embarrass you."

The tears hanging on Qingxing's eyelashes rolled down gently, revealing a stubborn look. Gu Yunru reached out to wipe the tears from her face and said with a smile: "I am already very satisfied that you have this heart."

After that, after hearing the sound, there was a pleasant voice coming from a group of women.

I saw a few women in brightly colored clothes, holding round fans in their hands, walking on the bluestone bricks, sometimes catching butterflies and sometimes smiling, as if they were talking about something happy.

"Do you know? The Queen Mother intends to let Sister Shen marry General Huang. General Huang is in his prime and is also a favorite of His Royal Highness Prince Zhao."

"Really? I've heard that too. The Queen Mother asked General Huang to stay in the palace to protect us women. Isn't it intended for General Huang to get in touch with Sister Shen? Sister Shen is really blessed."

Several women were talking loudly, and their voices reached Gu Yunru's ears.

Gu Yunru looked at the women walking towards them and gave them a gentle smile. The women stopped and Gu Yunru wanted to find Shen Aojun from the crowd. Judging from her name, she should be a gentle and decent-looking woman. However, after a quick glance, she did not see Shen Aojun.

"Meet the princess."

Among them, Song Qianjin, the daughter of the Western Zhou governor, recognized Gu Yunru at a glance and was the first to bow. The other female students also bowed with looks of panic on their faces.

"There's no need to be so polite, my dear ladies. But why haven't I seen Miss Shen?" Gu Yunru wanted to see what Shen Aojun looked like. After all, she had only heard of her from Tingya.

He has a gentle, generous and sensible personality, but you need to get to know him in person before you can really know him.

"Princess, you are talking about Sister Shen. Sister Shen is still being recuperated in the Queen Mother's Palace. I heard that she caught a cold again this morning. She is weak and easily caught a cold..."

Shen Aojun is a well-known sickly person. Ever since she had a serious illness two years ago, she has always had some minor ailments, such as coughing and being unable to be exposed to the wind and sun. She looks sickly all over. It is said that she is very thin and an ordinary person can lift her up with one hand. I don't know if this is an exaggeration.

"so."

Gu Yunru nodded, without listening to what everyone was saying. After exchanging a few words with everyone, she took Qingxing away. Qingxing followed Gu Yunru quickly. She was also curious about what this Miss Shen looked like.

"Princess, I heard that Miss Shen is very susceptible to colds. How about you go and take a look?"

It seems Qingxing can't hold back anymore.

"Can't you see I'm heading to the Queen Mother's palace? I can pay my respects to her first, and then treat her openly."

Gu Yunru already had a plan in mind, and it was a good opportunity to see how Shen Aojun was doing.

When they arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace, Nanny Hua led them in enthusiastically. The Empress Dowager was resting at the time and was not in a position to meet guests, so she took them directly to the backyard.

Shen Aojun now lives in this courtyard. There are many maids and servants guarding the door. It seems that this is a strategic place and ordinary people cannot enter.

"Princess, Miss Shen is in the room. I don't know if she is resting after taking the medicine. You should know if you ask the palace servant at the door. I will take my leave first."

"Thank you, Aunt Hua." Gu Yunru watched Aunt Hua leave and led Qingxing to the door. The courtyard was decorated very simply and plainly.

"Excuse me, is your young lady in the house?" Gu Yunru looked at the palace maid guarding the door. A graceful and pretty woman stared at the visitor in confusion.

"This is our dignified Princess Zhao." Qingxing knew that the maid didn't recognize her, so she introduced her again.

"Please wait a moment, Princess."

The maid went in and came out in just half a cup of tea.

"Princess, please."

It seemed that Shen Aojun was not resting at this moment. Gu Yunru took Qingxing inside. There was a gilded copper stove with exotic animal patterns in the room. A faint incense fragrance emanated from the stove, and the whole room was filled with this refreshing smell.

"Meet the princess."

Shen Aojun walked out from behind the screen.

When Gu Yunru and Qingxing saw Shen Aojun, they were stunned, because this woman gave people a feeling that she was otherworldly.

She had a graceful temperament and a beautiful face. She was dressed in a plain blue dress without a speck of dust. Her thin eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and she looked like she had just recovered from a serious illness. Her long hair set off her beautiful face. Her gentle eyes looked at the two of them quietly. What a beautiful lady, she was truly stunning.
