Chapter 461: Initiative
The emperor was still worried about inheriting the throne in the future, and he was heartbroken for Xiao Yu.
When he turned his head, he saw Xiao Yu was full of courtesy, his eyes were smiling, he was extraordinarily considerate and cautious, and he personally poured a cup for Gu Yuqing.
This kid......
The emperor's question was asked, but Hui Guifei lowered her eyebrows, looked at the tea cup and saucer in front of her, and looked like she didn't hear it, and the virtuous concubine who was sitting under her saw that Hui Guifei was silent, just thinking about her heart, and didn't hear it, so she immediately pulled out a coquettish smile on her face and looked at the emperor.
Shaking a golden step on his head, he said in a loud voice: "I just listened to Miss Gu's meaning, His Royal Highness is discussing with Niangniang at the moment, maybe it is a big matter, and it is too late for a while." ”
Previously, Concubine Xian had always been attached to King Duan in private, and she would do whatever King Duan asked her to do, but the more she listened to King Duan, the more alienated and indifferent the emperor became to her.
Now, King Duan is gone, because the private correspondence between them is not known, so she is still a virtuous concubine in this palace, under Qu Hui and Guifei.
didn't have a king, and made his own decisions about everything, but instead caused the emperor to go to her palace three or two times.
Dead wood in spring, but three or two times, is enough to revive the ashes.
Hearing Concubine Xian's words, the emperor suddenly poured out displeasure, the queen mother set up a banquet here, even he had already arrived, but the queen was delayed left and right because of the secret conversation with Xiao Yi, is this to let him wait for her with the queen mother!
The anger grew stronger and stronger, and he couldn't help but snort heavily in his nose.
What kind of important thing is it that can make the queen, who has always been calm and aware of priorities, even ignore the most basic etiquette of dignity and humility!
Such an omission had never been there since he saw her.
was already suspicious, but at this moment, the emperor's mind was even more out of control.
As he was talking, the waiter outside shouted in his throat and announced: "The queen has arrived!"
A sharp and loud singing voice fell, and the queen and Xiao Yi came in front and back, both of them were sweating profusely, and the queen was even a little disheveled and her hair was messy.
When the emperor looked at it, his suspicions became a little heavier.
Along the dance floor and through the crowd, the queen and Xiao Yi walked all the way to the queen mother, curtsied, and the queen spoke first, "The concubine is guilty, the queen mother's banquet, the concubine is late, and I hope that Her Majesty the queen mother will be guilty." ”
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and a fine light burst out in his eyes, but on top of this banquet, in the end, he still gave her the face of the lord of the six palaces, and the corners of his mouth tried to pull out a smile, "It's just a family banquet." ”
The Queen Mother also smiled and said, "It's good to come, take a seat." The smile was slightly cool.
Gu Yuqing's good thing, the Queen Mother doesn't want anyone to make trouble here, what to say, and wait for the palace banquet to disperse, and there is time to investigate it slowly.
Although it is not a grand grace, but in the end, it is also a husband and wife who have shared the same bed for decades, the emperor's temperament, the queen is quite accurate, he is like that, it is clear that he is deliberately suppressing the anger in his heart.
The more he smiled at the corners of his mouth, the heavier the anger in his eyes.
If some words are not explained clearly now, the queen is only afraid that when the banquet is over, there will be no chance to explain again.
Her eyebrows moved slightly, and she glanced at Gu Yuqing quietly, just in time to meet the sneer that Gu Yuqing threw at her, her eyebrows were raised slightly, and there was a smug provocation in that smile, and the queen's heart suddenly shrank.
Gu Yuqing has always acted calmly and introverted, and this smile is ...... at this moment
She already suspected that Gu Yuqing was one step ahead, and she had already picked and picked what happened to tell her a complaint, but at this moment, seeing Gu Yuqing looking at her like this, this suspicion turned into certainty.
If not, it is obvious that she and Xiao Yi are both late, but the emperor and the queen mother, why don't they even ask for a reason!
This is not the consistent style of the two of them, not to mention, yesterday, the Queen Mother beat her in front of Concubine Hui.
looked at Hui Guifei again, although Hui Guifei lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, as if her face was calm, but the corners of her mouth were clearly with some curvature, she was clearly laughing, what was she laughing at...... And the virtuous concubine under Concubine Hui is even more gloating, looking like she is watching a good show!
Her mind turned, the queen pursed her lips tightly, tears welled up in her eyes, and her face was full of tears, "Your Majesty, the concubine and Yi'er came late, there is really a reason, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, don't listen to Gu Yuqing's words!"
When the emperor heard this, he immediately frowned.
This banquet has not yet begun, and the hall is full of concubines and heirs, what kind of trouble is the queen going to make...... A layer of gloom appeared in his eyes, and he said, "What are you talking about, wait until the palace banquet is over." The tone was already a little impatient.
But this impatience fell in the eyes of the queen, and she felt more and more that it was because of Gu Yuqing's complaint that she was like this, so she naturally refused to do so, so she only wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said: "Your Majesty still listens to the concubine, and it is good to return the concubine to a clean slate, the concubine is the head of the six palaces, and I don't want to be wronged by this daughter-in-law who has not yet entered the door." ”
As she spoke, the queen looked at Gu Yuqing with anger on her face, but Gu Yuqing raised her eyebrows quietly, and a smile crossed her mouth.
Xiao Yu turned his head and pulled Gu Yuqing's sleeve and gestured with his eyes: What's wrong?
Gu Yuqing replied to him with his eyes: Watch the play with peace of mind.
With a good heart, after Gu Yuqing's words, Xiao Yu leaned back, and really put on a look of watching a play.
The emperor frowned, and was about to say more, but he was stopped by the queen mother first, with some playfulness on his graceful and luxurious face, the queen mother's eyebrows moved slightly, looked at the queen, and said: "You might as well let her finish speaking." ”
The emperor has always been filial, and he will not disobey the queen mother for such a trivial matter, besides, he is indeed puzzled in his heart, why did the queen and Xiao Yi come late, and what the queen said, don't listen to Gu Yuqing's words, what are the words?
Before he came, what did Gu Yuqing say?
The emperor took a deep breath, leaned back, supported the armrest with his hand, leaned over half of his body, and looked at the queen with his cheeks, "What grievances does the queen have?"
As the emperor's words fell, the queen's eyes immediately burst into tears, "The concubine doesn't know how Gu Yuqing slandered and slandered the concubine, but she was in the concubine's bedroom, but the concubine really had no intention of embarrassing her." ”
Hui Guifei's eyelids, which had been drooping, gradually lifted, and the bottom of her eyes seemed to be shrouded in a thin veil, which made people unable to see the real meaning, and only slowly locked on the queen, with a touch of interest.
On her side, the cold light in the eyes of the Queen Mother gradually became solemn, and as the queen's voice fell, the Queen Mother said, "You have no intention?"
A question, there is no emotion in the question, but it is this calm indifference that makes the queen's heart jump suddenly.
