Chapter 560: Imperial Merchant
1. Xiao Jingyu......
When Gu Yuqing heard this, she hurriedly forcibly suppressed the fierce emotions rolling in her heart.
In today's queen's game, she must go all out, she can't be distracted by anything, and she can't let the queen's tricks succeed.
And the Queen Mother, at the moment when Gu Yuqing gathered her mind, she had already wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, with a smile on her lips, and the speed of emotional convergence, not to mention that Gu Yuqing was beyond her reach, even if she was Concubine Hui, she was afraid that she would sigh to herself.
Gu Yuqing sighed again in her heart, sure enough, the old saying is true, Jiang is still old and spicy!
Taking a deep breath and stabilizing her mind, Gu Yuqing got up and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, A-Qing should retire for the time being, and come back to talk to Niangniang in a few days." ”
The queen mother naturally knew about the matter between Xiao Jingyu and Gu Yuqing, and when she heard the words, she only thought that she didn't want to see Xiao Jingyu in her heart, so she deliberately avoided it, sighed, and nodded: "Go ahead." ”
As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, she heard the ringing bell, the bead curtain was lifted, Gu Yuqing got up and turned her head, just in time to meet Xiao Jingyu.
In the past, the peerless and charming princess Yan, because of the friction of several things, the last few times they met, the bottom of her eyes were full of anger, and because of the anger in her chest, the whole person had a hideous aura.
The incident of Agarwood Pavilion hit her too hard.
Even in front of the Queen Mother, she tried her best to suppress her anger, but she couldn't suppress the tiredness of not being able to sleep for many days.
Her eyes were blue and black, her face was pale, and the thick fat powder could not hide the haggard hair from her bones.
Even if she greeted her head-on, Gu Yuqing had to bend her knees and salute her, after all, she and Xiao Yu had not yet married, and her identity was still only the daughter of a minister.
In the hindrance of the Queen Mother, Xiao Jingyu was still kind and pleasant, but she didn't expect that Gu Yuqing got up and walked straight out, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "What?
Gu Yuqing smiled lightly, counted as an answer, and kept walking.
"I just came, you just left, are you avoiding me?"
When Gu Yuqing walked to the side by side with Xiao Jingyu, Xiao Jingyu pulled Gu Yuqing's sleeve and said as if joking, just looking directly at Gu Yuqing's eyes, and a fierce light burst out of his eyes.
With her back to the Queen Mother, Gu Yuqing raised her eyebrows and smiled, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "The princess is too worried." Having said so, the expression on his face fell to Xiao Jingyu's eyes, which was a provocation.
Xiao Jingyu was already unsettled these days, panicking all day long, her blood was fluctuating, how could she resist Gu Yuqing's provocation, her eyes were red, and her breath was aggravated.
Fortunately, Qinghong on her side pulled her sleeve in time, and whispered a silent reminder in her ear, which made her almost burst out of temper restrained.
But the temples were forced to jump suddenly, the hand holding the handkerchief, and the green tendons on the back of the hand appeared.
Gu Yuqing glanced at it lightly, smiled with her eyebrows, and walked away.
Out of the queen mother's bedroom, Ruyi was standing in front of the door, saw her come out, hurriedly greeted her, looked at no one on the left and right, and said in a low voice: "Miss, the medicinal powder in this bracelet has been taken out, and it has been disposed of according to Miss's instructions." ”
Gu Yuqing nodded, linked the coral red hand in Ruyi's hand, and slowly put it on his wrist.
The skin is better than snow, the bracelet is like fire, and the green cuffs are half-covered and half-hidden, but it is also beautiful.
Walking all the way from the Queen Mother's bedroom to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet hall, Jixiang whispered back in Gu Yuqing's ear the news he had just heard.
"Miss, the slave maid heard that it was not the milk worms, it was the milk sent by the previous imperial merchant who was not clean, and the flies and insects fell in the milk, and the Internal Affairs Office cut off his supply and chose a new supply to the imperial merchant. ”
"The new emperor merchant is not very familiar with the errand, and the milk supplied in those days was a little insufficient, but now everything is normal. ”
Got a new milk supplier?
Auspicious words sound reasonable at first glance, but they can't stand up to careful consideration.
Imperial merchants, different from ordinary businessmen, such an errand, how many people sharpen their heads and want to fight for it, in order to get a place, I don't know how much silver to send to the internal affairs government and management officials to earn a chance.
How could the last milk emperor be so careless and let flies and insects fall into the milk!
This is already very unreasonable.
What's more, because the imperial merchant corresponds directly to the court, the responsibility is heavy, but if there is the slightest mistake, it must be to ask the family for the guilt, such a big movement, up and down Kyoto, boiling for several months.
Why is the milk incident quiet!
"Who handled this matter? But asked?" On the corridor of the bluestone slab, as the banquet hall approached, the sound of bamboo gradually came.
Although it is not yet time to start, there are already guests gradually taking their seats.
The silk and bamboo are beautiful, showing the host's welcome to the guests.
Ji Xiang said, and immediately said: "The slave maid inquired, because this matter belongs to the harem sundries, it is the queen mother's hand-run, and His Majesty did not participate in the middle, as for whether the mother means His Majesty's meaning, the slave and maid can't ask, but looking at the way they speak, the slave and maid guessed that most of His Majesty did not know." ”
Gu Yuqing's heart was bowed.
That's right.
Of course the emperor doesn't know, if he does, it won't be such a result.
Empress...... When things intersect with the queen, Gu Yuqing can't help but think about it more.
"After the banquet, when you leave the palace, you go all the way with Zhou Bingde to check the imperial merchants, both new and old. Gu Yuqing instructed Ruyi.
It's best to have nothing, but there can't be anything wrong, in the current situation, any move of the queen may be aimed at Hui Guifei and Xiao Yu, Gu Yuqing can't be taken lightly.
Wishful thinking, echo promise.
As the words fell, they had already entered the palace where the banquet hall was located, and the eyes were prosperous, with purple and red, warblers and swallows, all over the hall.
The queen has not yet arrived, Gu Yuqing followed the guidance of the palace maid and sat down in her place, coincidentally or not, it was Gongsun Qi on her side.
As soon as Gu Yuqing sat down, Gongsun Qi snorted coldly, "I still want you to come with Concubine Hui! It seems that your mother-in-law may not like to see you." ”
In the face of Gongsun Qi's provocation, Gu Yuqing turned his head to look over, his eyes were facing each other, and sparks burst out, but one was a dry fire and the other was a flame with ice flowers.
"It's not like you're not present with the queen, so why bother looking for trouble. Anyway, you are also the concubine of the General's Mansion, can't you be a little self-assured. Is it fun to talk to me? Or, when did you get the upper hand with me and get the benefits? And no, what do you have to ask for hardship, when the time comes, it is you who are unlucky, not me, no wonder I didn't remind you! In front of everyone, I don't want your wrist to be pinched off, but if you continue to be unforgiving, no wonder I don't give you face in the General's Mansion!"
Gu Yuqing's voice was cold, and she said it decisively, leaving no trace of affection.
It's ruthless, so why stay!
