Chapter 227: Edge
Guo Ping filled the so-called true feelings of the other concubines for himself to fill Xiao Wanyao's hollowed out heart.
So since then, Guo Ping has rarely gone to Xiyun Palace, according to the regulations, Guo Ping has to go to Xiyun Palace several times a month to have dinner with the queen, and occasionally due to the etiquette problem, he will go to her for a turn, but since he stayed for a short time, at most he only teased Rui'er. Riel was his last hope for her.
The queen's fall from grace was not only known to everyone in the harem, but even the ministers of the court and the central government began to discuss it. This does not bode well for a country, not to mention that there are people behind the scenes who want to take advantage of this to plot against them.
Huo Yongdie's father was the prime minister of the dynasty, and from the moment he began to plan to marry his daughter to Guo Ping, he had no intention of letting his daughter only be a concubine in the harem. Therefore, Huo Fanghao asked people to mention the bad relationship between the emperor and the queen intentionally or unintentionally in the court.
It's just that Guo Ping has never admitted to this, so those ministers don't have anything to talk about. The matter faded away.
After Xiao Wanyao fell out of favor, the person who came to see her most often was Huo Yongdie, who naturally came to mock her, because she was also pregnant at this time, so she was even more arrogant, with no one in her eyes, and she didn't even pay attention to the queen's courtesy.
On this day, Huo Yongdie came to Xiyun Palace again, and walked in directly, Zhu'er wanted to go up to stop her, but was blocked by Bi'er beside Huo Yongdie, and before Zhu'er could speak, she slapped her, "Now that Concubine Xian is pregnant, you'd better be careful as a minion, if Concubine Xian has a good one, you have a few lives that are not enough." β
Huo Yongdie was naturally very satisfied with what Bi'er did, she just came to give Xiao Wanyao some color. And she must neutralize her prestige in the harem, so that others know that even if she is not the queen, but in the harem, she-Huo Yongdie has the final say.
Zhu'er was slapped, Xiao Wanyao was naturally unhappy, got up and said angrily, "Come on, drag Bi'er, a cheap girl, out for me and beat me fifty boards." It's just no one. β
Bi'er hid behind Huo Yongdie with a pitiful face.
She naturally supported her, "Queen Mother, don't blame Bi'er for playing beads for a reason, that cheap thing almost hit the concubine, and now the concubine is pregnant with the emperor's child in her belly, if anything happens, she can't even live, Bi'er is also good for her." β
As he spoke, he turned around and walked into the house, and sat down on the soft couch, "Queen, you should also discipline and discipline your subordinates well, why do you understand the rules so much, sure enough, they are all savages in the rivers and lakes, and they don't understand anything." β
Huo Yongdie's words are also indirectly satirizing Xiao Wanyao.
Xiao Wanyao saw that her words were not good for the people around her, so she stepped forward in person and walked to Huo Yongdie's side with a smile on her face, "It's not warm here, Concubine Xian Niangniang came here to sit." β
As he spoke, he pulled Concubine Xian up, and the queen personally came to support herself, if this was spread out, the queen would be even more faceless, and she was also happy, so she really got up and walked down from the soft couch.
However, as soon as she stood up, she was slapped the face, "Things that don't have long eyes, the laws of the Chu State are still there, and the rules left by the ancestors are still there, as long as the palace is still here, you will always be a concubine, and you will always have to kneel down to the palace." β
Huo Yongdie covered her face, and was about to open her mouth, Xiao Wanyao slapped her again, this time she held a silver needle in her hand, and a scar was left on her watery cheek.
The silver needle was very thin, the scar was very shallow, her hand was fast and very, and the pain of the slap had long covered the pain of the silver needle. So Huo Yongdie didn't notice it at all.
"You, you're going to beat me instead?" Huo Yongdie's eyes widened in disbelief.
But before the words fell, there was another slap, "It's you who don't understand the rules and don't respect the law." Look carefully, this palace is the queen. β
followed by another slap, and Huo Yongdie's eyes were full of stars, and her brain began to be unconscious.
Xiao Wanyao said it quickly, and she started it quickly, when Bi'er stepped forward to stop her, Xiao Wanyao kicked her leg, and Bi'er fell to the ground, frowning in pain.
Xiao Wanyao stepped forward, pointed her finger at her, and scolded angrily, "Sue sΓΉ Bengong, who is a cheap thing who doesn't have long eyes?" Immediately followed by another kick, Bi'er screamed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "The queen mother spares her life, the queen mother spares her life." β
She and Huo Yongdie, no one thought that a gentle Xiao Wanyao would do such a thing, her eyes seemed to be able to eat people, until Bi'er screamed on the ground one after another, Huo Yongdie woke up, and shouted, "Someone! Go and call the emperor, go and call the emperor......"
Xiao Wanyao sneered when she heard Huo Yongdie's voice, but instead calmed down, turned around and sat down leisurely on the soft couch, "Cui'er, drag Bi'er down for me." No one is allowed to take her out of Xiyun Palace without my order. β
Bi'er was dragged out in a wail, begging all the time, "Concubine Xian save me, Concubine Xian Niangniang ......"
Huo Yongdie was also frightened, she was confused for a while by Xiao Wanyao's slaps, and the people around her were all eyeing her, and they didn't dare to be arrogant. I had to grit my teeth and endure it.
Xiao Wanyao, let's slowly calculate this account in the future.
After Huo Yongdie left, Zhu'er was a little worried, "Queen Mother, Concubine Xian is now being favored, will it be ...... to offend her so much?"
Xiao Wanyao snorted lightly, her eyes narrowed slightly, "There are no people in this world who are afraid of this palace, if they really want to do this, this palace will accompany them to the end." Let's see who has more means, and who can make who more life worse than death. β
Huo Yongdie came to Guo Ping crying, and when he learned about this incident, he was naturally a little unhappy, "If she doesn't provoke you, why should you provoke her, since you can't get along, it's okay if you don't meet, you are pregnant now, so don't go to her." β
Although Guo Ping was comforting herself, no matter how Huo Yongdie listened, she was thinking that Xiao Wanyao was talking, she wiped her tears and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty~ People didn't mean to provoke her, they just ......"
Guo Ping put down the pen in his hand, he understood Xiao Wanyao's cold arrogance, and knew that the most real she was not a person who was bullied casually, but more like a hedgehog with thorns all over her body, but just like a hedgehog, the harder the thorns outside, it showed that she tried hard to protect the softest place in her heart, and it was also a place that could not be touched by others.
And he also knows Huo Yongdie, if she hadn't deliberately made her angry, this would not have happened, not to mention that Huo Yongdie's father in the court had already begun to say in his ear that it was inappropriate for a Wei person to be the queen of Chu, so he couldn't be too spoiled by Huo Yongdie.
Most of the women in the harem are inextricably linked to the interests of the previous dynasty, so he wants a bowl of water, but Xiao Wanyao is the only one who has no relatives and no reason here, but she is the one who is most easily bullied.
But after all, she made him sad, and she was very disappointed, and she must not want her to be too arrogant, so she coaxed Huo Yongdie to make her angry, and then found Xiao Wanyao again.
On this day, it was the dinner that Huo Yongdie was packed up by Xiao Wanyao, Xiao Wanyao was eating with chopsticks, and it was rumored that the emperor had arrived. She was slightly stunned, thinking that she was hallucinating. It wasn't until Guo Ping walked to the door and saw his figure that she got up in a trance and went over to salute, "The concubine sees the emperor, is there anything wrong with the emperor in Xiyun Palace so late?" β
She wouldn't let him in and asked directly.
Guo Ping glanced at the dining table, turned around and walked in by himself, "I want to eat here." After that, he sat down, and Zhu'er hurriedly prepared dishes and chopsticks for Guo Ping.
Xiao Wanyao stood at the door, staring at his back, her eyes couldn't help but narrow, having dinner? It must be because of Huo Yongdie's incident during the day.
She returned to her seat, picked up the chopsticks and lowered her head to eat, he didn't speak, and she didn't speak. And the more he looked at her, the more she gulped down.
Suddenly, Guo Ping put down his chopsticks and smiled suddenly, "Queen, you have a good appetite recently!" β
Xiao Wanyao hummed without raising her head, there were a lot of things in her mouth, and she said vaguely, "Recently, I have taught a few wicked people a lesson, and I am in a good mood, so everything the concubines eat is delicious, I can't stop, and the emperor will also come to taste it." As he spoke, he took food and put it in his bowl.
Guo Ping looked down and immediately felt disgusted, she was sandwiching the dish he hated the most.
Because of this dish before, Xiao Wanyao had a serious argument with Guo Ping, she liked it, he didn't like it. She asked for a meal, and he asked that it should never be served.
As a result, Xiao Wanyao won, winning in his tolerance and pampering. But today, Guo Ping frowned, "Zhu'er, bring that dish down, as long as I eat here in the future, I won't be allowed to have that dish." β
Zhu'er paused for a moment and stepped forward to serve the dish, while Xiao Wanyao grabbed the plate and pressed it on the table, "The emperor didn't let the eunuch say that he was going to have dinner here, so the concubine didn't prepare it for the emperor." β
Guo Ping's gaze suddenly turned cold, "Xiao Wanyao, don't take an inch." β
She didn't show weakness either, "The emperor calls the name of the concubine, can the concubine also call the emperor's name?" β
Guo Ping paused slightly, this kind of scene reminded him of the occasional small quarrel between the young couple when he was still the prince, "I'm right." β
As soon as the words fell, there was a snap, Xiao Wanyao slapped on the table, "Guo Ping, don't take an inch, say something or anything, don't come to that useless set, you came today to fight Huo Yongdie during the day, what kind of bend, just say no." β
Guo Ping was stunned by her and was speechless for a while, but the two of them did not look like the emperor and queen who were polite before.
Xiao Wanyao continued, "I hit her, it's because she should have beaten her, and she shouldn't have come to provoke me. If you feel sorry for her, then punish me, kill or chop whatever you want, hit the board, enter the cold palace, at most one death, when a queen has to be so wronged, this queen girl will not do it. β
Fortunately, Zhu'er was the only one present at the time, she grew her mouth in surprise, and after reacting, she hurriedly went out to break away from the people outside, and closed the door, leaving only the two of them.
"Xiao Wanyao, what did you say?" Guo Ping stood up abruptly.
Xiao Wanyao rolled up her sleeves and did not show weakness, "I said, if you have to participate in everything in the harem and support them in everything, then I, the queen, will not do it, and you will find whoever you like." βR1154
