474 A feast of the Great Gate
When the Queen Mother saw her coming, she smiled very kindly and beckoned to her, "Queen, come here, don't be formal." ”
"Yes. ”
I didn't know what the Queen Mother had in mind, Gu Chengqi decided not to move. Obediently walked over and sat down in the only empty seat.
"The queen hasn't seen her for a few days, and she is getting better and better-looking, which makes us old students envious. The Queen Mother smiled.
Gu Chengqi hooked his lips and played Tai Chi with them, "The Queen Mother has won the award, but the Queen Mother and the Concubine are not old, and they don't show their age at all." If you don't know, I'm afraid you'll think you're a little girl. ”
"The queen really speaks. The Queen Mother didn't know whether she was sarcastically sarcastic about their age, or if she was really patting their ass, so she had to say so.
"Where is the son of the minister can speak, what the son of the son of the minister says, is the truth. Gu Chengqi really didn't lie, the queen mother looks like a person in her twenties, the two concubines are a little younger, but the maintenance is also excellent, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a girl's face.
"And said that they couldn't speak, and they were happy. "People always like to listen to people's sycophants, even if the Queen Mother has a grudge against Gu Chengqi, this sycophant is just as useful.
The two concubines were really as the Queen Mother said, laughing and trembling, obviously happy.
Gu Chengqi lowered his eyebrows, smiled lightly on his red lips, and stopped speaking, waiting for the Queen Mother's next words.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the Queen Mother said: "Queen, I have a banquet today, first, to apologize to you for what happened last time, and second, to invite you to eat some pastries." This pastry is newly made in the Imperial Dining Room and is extremely delicious. ”
As she spoke, the Queen Mother used silver chopsticks to put a piece into Gu Chengqi's cup and plate.
Gu Chengqi looked at this pastry, the brown color, the fragrance of ordinary pastries, there was nothing strange about it.
The Queen Mother used silver chopsticks to clip, the meaning is obvious - there is no poison in it, let her eat it with confidence.
How could it be? She didn't believe that the Queen Mother really had no ill will towards her at all.
Gu Chengqi picked up the piece of pastry, put it in his mouth, took a bite, and tasted it carefully. With this time, her mind spun at high speed.
Silk edge grass, plum blossoms, pastries...... Wait, the taste of this pastry, the pastry contains acacia in it!
The taste of this acacia is very shallow, and they should have a trick.
Gu Chengqi quietly put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "This pastry tastes really good, when I go back, let the imperial chef make it, and give it to the emperor to taste." ”
"The queen thinks so much about the emperor, and the mourning family is relieved. The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Does the queen know that the emperor is not the flesh and blood of the mourning family?"
Gu Chengqi frowned slightly, "Erchen knows a little bit about it. ”
The Queen Mother sighed, "The emperor is not close to the mourning family, and has always thought that the mourning family killed his biological mother, which is actually a misunderstanding." But it was this misunderstanding that caused the mourning family to say more to the emperor every time they wanted to talk to the emperor and tell him to take care of themselves, they would be rejected by him coldly. ”
Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and then said: "Empress, the only person the emperor will be close to now is you, you must take care of the emperor and tell him to eat and go to bed on time." ”
Gu Chengqi nodded slightly, "Don't worry, the queen mother will." ”
"Alas, queen, I think you would call the mourning family a few days ago, but today you are so unfamiliar, but the queen still complains about the mourning family?"
Gu Chengqi didn't even bother to open his eyelids, this old witch, Jing Yan had obviously never seen her biological mother, how could she resent her for killing her mother, so she didn't get close to her?
"Queen Mother, there is a way that it is better to settle the grievances than to settle them, you want your sons to forgive you at once, sorry, your sons really can't do it. However, since you are an elder, as long as you don't deal with your sons, your sons will not be disrespectful to you. ”
"The queen is really a woman who knows the general situation, and the emperor didn't choose the wrong person. The Queen Mother nodded with relief.
At this time, Concubine Rou picked up a glass of wine and put it in front of Gu Chengqi, and said with a smile: "I heard that the queen loves to eat wine, this is the fruit wine made by the palace order, the queen tastes it?"
Gu Chengqi took the wine, smelled the taste, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
A kind of fruit unique to the Liang country of Luyuan Guo, mixed with silk edge grass, will only have a little effect of urging and affection. It doesn't hurt to use only a little bit of Hehuan San, and it is mixed with silk edge grass or dew edge fruit, and the medicinal power is not obvious. But as long as these three are added up, the effect is immediate.
Tut-tut, if she drank this glass of wine, the drug would attack in an instant, all kinds of ugliness would be revealed, and even in the process, her mind would not be sober, but afterwards, there would be no sign of being drugged.
The Queen Mother tried her best to make her unaware of this medicine, and it was obvious what idea was behind it.
As soon as she drank this glass of wine, a man would immediately come in, and then call Ye Jingyan over. When the time comes, even if Jing Yan likes her, I am afraid that she will not be able to tolerate her doing that kind of thing with other men.
At that time, when she falls out of favor, without Ye Jingyan's protection, they will have a way to deal with her.
It's a pity that they don't understand one thing, she Gu Chengqi wants to clean up people, and she has always relied on her own means.
Gu Chengqi hooked his lips and smiled lightly, put down the wine glass, gently brushed his aqua blue wide sleeves, put his hand on the corner of the table, and his posture was chic, "Erchen has drunk a lot of wine, and when he smells this wine, he knows that it tastes very good." Erchen didn't eat much food at lunch, and he only ate a little pastry, and now he is really a little hungry, and there is a saying that drinking on an empty stomach is too hurtful for the stomach, and it is not too late for Erchen to drink later. I heard that the Queen Mother and the two concubines also drank very well, but it was really unfilial for the ministers to eat and drink alone, so it was better for everyone to eat together, how about it?"
"This ......"
The two concubines looked at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother is worthy of being the queen for so long, and then promoted to the queen mother, listening to her say this, she didn't show her feet at all, but picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Before you came, the mourning family and the two concubines were already full, but seeing that the pastries were delicious, it was rare, so it was better to hit the day another day, and ordered someone to reset the banquet, please come over." Now the mourning family and the two concubines can't eat, so they can only drink to accompany them. Queen, feel free to do so. ”
"Yes, Queen, you can eat, you don't have to see outside. ”
"Yes, we are a family after all, there are no outsiders present at this time, and the queen does not have to be formal. ”
As soon as the Queen Mother's voice fell, Concubine Rou and Concubine Mei both echoed and persuaded her.
Gu Chengqi snorted coldly in his heart, his face was not revealed, and he said with a smile: "Since this is the case, it is better for the sons to be respectful than to obey their orders." ”
After that, she picked up the pastry with chopsticks and ate it as if she didn't notice it.
The Queen Mother used a wine glass to cover up the contempt evoked, in the end it was still too tender, sometimes it may not be a good thing to show her edge, but she didn't know at all.
