Chapter 256: Doubts
γ62 Chinese Networkγ., to provide you with wonderful reading.
Empress Meng said for a long time, the purpose was to lead the Queen Mother to move to Shanglin Garden.
Her idea is that it is not trivial for the Queen Mother to move the palace, especially the Meng family will definitely attach great importance to it, so she will subconsciously ignore other places, thus reducing the possibility of Gongsun Xi being discovered.
Originally, she also specifically found fault with the several palaces that the Queen Mother might choose, but who knew that the Queen Mother thought of Shanglin Yuan in a few words.
Although this move saved her a lot of words, but because of the invitation of the Queen Mother, she fell into a dilemma: I just told the Queen Mother so many words that it is not safe to continue to stay in Xinshou Palace, and the Queen Mother is as good as a stream, and decided to avoid the limelight, and did not forget to bring her, she is actually not grateful to Lingxi, and wants to stay, even if the Queen Mother is not deep, she also trusts her very much, and Bacheng will be suspicious, right?
But if he followed the Queen Mother, what would Gongsun Xi do if he was still in the palace?
Empress Meng said in her heart: "Although the sixth brother will definitely accept him, but the sixth brother is not loyal to the king of Mizhen County, how can he have any kindness to Ah Xi?
She really didn't worry about Gongsun Xi, so she hesitated for a while, and made excuses: "Auntie, can you go to Shanglin Yuan alone? Although we don't know what the hell King Gaomi is doing over there, we can't always leave! After all, as the saying goes, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves? So why don't you go to Shanglin Yuan to be safe, and I will stay and wait and see what happens?"
"Silly boy, our aunt and nephew, what is the identity in this palace?" Empress Dowager Meng said disapprovingly, "It is also during this period of time that the mourning family is short of spirit, and many things are not taken care of, so they are allowed to go in and out, there is no rule!
"At that time, don't care what tricks Gaomi and they play, in this palace city, how can they hide the truth from our mother?!"
"So why would you stay?"
"After all, didn't you just say it, it was after you went to the side hall to take a turn, and Concubine Mo went wrong!"
"What if that's going for you?"
"You follow the mourning family, no matter what happens, the mourning family can always make decisions for you. β
"You stay in the palace alone, and the others don't talk about it, just say that the two cheap maids in the West Palace, if they take the opportunity to bully you, the mourning family is not there, what should I do?"
What the Queen Mother said was true, and Queen Meng couldn't refute it, so she had to force a smile: "It's still my aunt who is thoughtful!"
She suddenly lost her mind to coil in Xinshou Palace, and after a little perfunctory words to the Queen Mother, she found an excuse to retire, and after returning to Wangchun Palace in three steps and two steps, she was worried about Gongsun Xi, this person suddenly turned in from the window, and quickly dodged into the dark corner of the hall to hide her figure, and then bowed and saluted, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang!"
"Where are you?" When the queen saw him, she couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth, and tried hard to suppress it, Fang asked softly, "I thought that after something happened to Concubine Mo, you would come back immediately! β
"Niangniang, please rest assured, even if you are caught, you will never confess to your mother. Gongsun Xi lowered his head, his face was hidden in the shadows, and he only heard him say in a calm tone, "After leaving the side hall of Xinshou Palace, he made a big circle for safety, so he came back at this moment." β
Empress Meng knew that his so-called "will never confess his mother", eighty percent of it was out of consideration for Rong Sleeping Crane and Sheng Weiqiao, but listening to it at the moment, she still felt very happy in her heart, pursed her mouth, and said, "It's been so long...... Are you hungry? I'm calling Chunlai to pass the meal?"
Gongsun Xi hurriedly said: "Niangniang, no need! Last night, the girl took a lot of food, and she couldn't finish it, so she took away some snacks and the like, and she just used them on the road, and she was not hungry at all!"
Although what he said was true, he was also afraid of Queen Meng's concern.
ββ¦β¦ Hearing this, Empress Meng was a little disappointed, thought about it, remembered what was going on, and said, "You came to me now, but to wait for the sixth brother's answer? β
Just told the ins and outs, of course, for the safety of Gongsun Xi, she asked the queen mother to go to Lin Yuan's thoughts, and she was embarrassed to say it, just to avoid her front foot leaving the side hall where the concubine lived, and the back foot of the concubine was suspected of being warned, so she did it.
Gongsun Xi listened to it, and first made amends: "It's a lowly job that is not well considered, and I am tired of worrying about my mother!"
"It's nothing, and generally speaking, Meng Shi can't suspect me. Empress Meng hurriedly said, "Besides, the Shu sisters have become more and more perverse recently, and I am also thinking about leaving this palace city and going out to catch my breath...... It's you......"
Gongsun Xi thought that she meant to pack up her luggage to go to Shanglin Yuan, and it was inconvenient for her to stay here, so she said: "Don't worry, Niangniang, let's leave now, so as not to wait for the person who helped Niangniang carry the cage to come in." β
"That's not what I meant!" Empress Meng hurriedly said, "I mean, if I leave, you must be careful!"
"Xie Niangniang reminded that the lowly will act cautiously. Gongsun Xi was respectful and respectful, and he was quite speechless in his heart, and said secretly: "Isn't this nonsense! This is the deep palace inside, even if Lao Tzu is proud of his martial arts, will he be stupid enough to act like a big lama?"
He's got nothing wrong with his brain!
When Empress Meng saw that he promised neatly, she had some resentment, because she felt as if she couldn't find other topics?
After a pause, seeing Gongsun Xi moving his footsteps, he seemed to have the intention of retreating, and his heart became more and more anxious, so he said to Chun: "You go out first!"
Chunlai hesitated, but when he saw the queen's gaze, he was ashamed and pleaded, and he couldn't bear it, and said in a low voice: "Yes!"
As soon as she went out like this, Gongsun Xi became nervous, and said in her heart that this queen should cry when she was unhappy again, right?
In the middle of his heart, he heard the queen ask in a low voice, "Hey, where is my compensation?"
ββ¦β¦ Niangniang, I entered the palace last night and didn't bring anything. Gongsun Xi didn't expect the queen to ask so directly, so he stopped his words before he said, "I haven't left the palace yet, where are the preparations?"
Empress Meng bit her lip and whispered, "Then I'm going to Shanglin Yuan soon!"
"So be it. Gongsun Xi groaned and said, "After leaving the palace, I will prepare compensation for Niangniang, and I will turn back to Chongxin Hou and hand it over to you?"
"You!" he thought this was a good method, but the queen was angry, sat on the soft couch, stomped her foot slightly, and said angrily, "You said that my sixth brother ......would be handed over?! Not to mention how I will see the sixth brother in the future, aren't you afraid that he will take advantage of you for this?!"
When these words came out in one breath, the queen immediately regretted it, although she didn't trust her sixth brother very much, but she really couldn't find other collaborators, so she had to partner with Meng Guiyu.
However, the two are allies after all, she has a special affection for Gongsun Xi, and she is also sincerely grateful to Sheng Weiqiao, but to be honest, she doesn't have any special thoughts about Rong Sleeping Crane.
Therefore, the queen of Meng Guiyu's digging of the corner of the sleeping crane is indifferent, and even approves.
Now if this is clearly told to Gongsun Xi, Meng Guiyu is unreliable.
Empress Meng turned pale in an instant, and said secretly: "It's over! I've made such a big trouble for the sixth brother, what will I do in the future?"
So Gongsun Xi didn't trust Meng Guiyu at all, and he didn't have any thoughts about the queen's words, so he only said: "Niangniang don't worship the Hou to hand it over, but whether it is the imperial city or Shanglin Yuan, it is a royal land, and it is very difficult to enter and exit from the humble position." When the time comes, how will you personally hand over the things to the mother?"
When he said this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he lost his mind for a moment, it was the queen's sentence "Then my sixth brother doesn't know everything", which made him subconsciously, or deliberately ignore the feeling, almost clear.
Speaking of which, although Gongsun Xi maintains a strong wariness of people because of what happened to him when he was a child, he doesn't like to come into contact with people, let alone a girl who is in love. But he still has a lot of experience in being loved, and those men who have ulterior motives for him don't care, just say that the girls who are like the age, Gongsun Yingjiang, Ju Li, and Hibiscus ...... It's just that Gongsun Yingjiang is the daughter of Gongsun, and for Gongsun Xi, who is not happy at all on Tortoiseshell Island, the surname Gongsun has a sense of disgust.
Gongsun Yingjiang's liking for him is purely out of beauty and flesh, which inevitably reminds Gongsun Xi of the experience of being coveted by men when he was a child, and he has always only been disgusted with her without the slightest sense of accomplishment of falling for the daughter of the sea lord.
As for Ju Fence and Hibiscus Fence, these two maids are the servants of everyone after all, and they are still Sheng Weiqiao's close attendants, and they dare not be presumptuous in their every move.
Even if he fell in love with Gongsun Xi, it was all euphemistic and subtle hints, and there were never any explicit actions and words.
Then Gongsun Xi, who was all about making contributions and had never considered this aspect of things, didn't see it at all.
At this time, the queen revealed her feelings several times, and finally let him realize that the queen of Da Mu, who was younger than him, was interested in him.
Gongsun Xi was stunned for a moment, because he was born on Tortoiseshell Island, he was used to seeing all kinds of unbelievable filth since he was a child, and he was the wife of the Son of Heaven, so he would secretly love a foreign man, but he didn't have any righteous indignation thoughts, let alone the queen's watery Yanghua.
After all, he had no respect for Emperor Xuanjing, and Empress Meng was thrown into the Wangchun Palace to the current Middle Palace after her wedding, and Gongsun Xi felt that it was not surprising that she was out of the wall, and there was not much to blame.
But you are unkind to me and unjust.
It's just that......
How could the queen fall in love with herself?
He felt that he really couldn't figure it out, because the queen had seen Rong Sleeping Crane.
Gongsun Xi did not have a good sleeve, and he was just simple reverence and loyalty to Rong Sleeping Crane.
But he felt that even from a fair standpoint, Rong Sleeping Crane was ...... in terms of appearance, martial arts, status, talent, ability to make people happy, city, and future What is not above yourself?
The so-called once the sea was difficult to water, except that Wushan is not a cloud, even if Queen Meng's heart is budding, after seeing Rong Sleeping Crane, how should she choose Rong Sleeping Crane, right?
Why yourself?
He was silent, the queen couldn't guess his thoughts, and regretted her gaffe, biting her lip.
Gongsun in the corner saw it with sharp eyes, and his heart sank!
