Chapter 154: Temptation

After Huo Yunxuan left the palace, Mu Qingya couldn't sleep all night, and kept thinking about the words Huo Yunxuan said when she left-"My sister is so obvious, my sister can still see the clues, let alone the emperor?" ”

With another sigh, Mu Qingya turned over again, feeling a little apprehensive. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Mother?"

Today happens to be Wenyue on duty, and no matter how Mu Qingya is newly married, although the emperor has named their master as a concubine, he has not spent the night in his own master's place - on the wedding night, the emperor is said to have taken a night in the palace because of the affairs of the first emperor, and then the first emperor died, during the state funeral, the emperor naturally will not stay in which concubine, these days are all in the queen's palace. Wen Yue was afraid that Mu Qingya would be lonely and sad at night, so they all set up a couch in front of Mu Qingya's window, which could be regarded as accompanying Mu Qingya to enter the face together. Seeing that Mu Qingya couldn't fall asleep over and over, Wen Yue only thought that Mu Qingya was sad because of this incident and persuaded her

"Today's days are special, my mother has a good temperament and looks good, and I am afraid that the emperor will not spoil my mother when I go out of the national funeral?"

Mu Qingya sighed: "This palace is not worried about this matter......

I couldn't sleep left and right, and Mu Qingya simply didn't lie down, but sat up with the quilt: "Wen Yue...... You said that this palace is Ming'er, or go to Ningshou Palace to see the Queen Mother Xi? ”

Wen Yue frowned, Mu Qingya has always been kind, this time she knew that the Empress Dowager Dong was going to harm the Empress Dowager Xi, but she didn't report it, and it was estimated that she was tormented in her heart. Sighing, Wen Yue persuaded: "Today, a lady has also seen it, even the Empress Dowager estimates that the Xue family will not dare to do anything, it is the Empress Dowager Dong who is in charge of affairs in this palace...... The Eastern Empress Dowager has always been at odds with the Western Empress Dowager...... Niangniang is still wise to protect herself. ”

"After all, it's the emperor's biological mother......"

"Niangniang is confused, if the emperor really cares, how can he let the Queen Mother of the East still ignore the Queen Mother of the West?"

"Although that's the reason...... Mu Qingya stopped talking, frowned and looked at Wen Yue, and finally sighed and said: "That's it, let Bengong think about it again......."

"The emperor is still staying in Kunning Palace today?"

As soon as the poisoning of the Queen Mother of the West came out today, even if she didn't find out, she knew who poisoned her. If the emperor is still staying in Kunning Palace, it means that he thinks too much, and the emperor doesn't care about the Queen Mother of the West at all.

Wen Yue thought carefully and said with a smile: "Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor naturally stays at the empress mother's place. ”

Mu Qingya frowned and confirmed, "Are you sure you're staying with the queen?" ”

Wen Yue nodded: "The emperor will go over to dine with the queen early today." ”

Today is a little Chinese New Year's Eve, and the emperor should indeed rest at the queen's place...... The meaning of Xuan'er's words is obviously that the emperor still cares about the Queen Mother Xi very much......

Mu Qingya frowned, couldn't sit still anymore, got off the bed, walked to the desk, picked up the pen and wrote a note and handed it to Wen Yue: "Ming'er will hand this piece of paper out of the palace and find a way to hand it to the county lord Ning Xin." ”

Wen Yue should be, put away the note, and persuaded: "It's not early, so the master should rest early." ”

Mu Qingya nodded indiscriminately, and Wen Yue helped her to get on the bed: "Wen Yue...... You said that the emperor ...... Could it be that this palace is aware of the grievances between the East Queen Mother and the West Queen Mother? ”

Wen Yue shook her head with a smile and comforted: "Don't think about it, this matter is just something that Xiao Liu accidentally learned about when he was mentioning rice, we have never been involved in it, and we have never mentioned it to others, so we will not be discovered by the emperor." ”

But now Huo Yunxuan can see it.......

Mu Qingya sighed, waved her hand, and sighed: "That's it, just rest." ”

Wen Yue should be, put down the pillow and helped Mu Qingya lie down, Mu Qingya frowned and ordered: "Tomorrow morning, you will make a few snacks that the emperor loves to eat...... Let Xiaoliu Ming'er go to the lotus pond to collect the dew on the lotus leaves, the emperor has always loved to drink the big red robe soaked in dew......"

Maybe it's good for Ming'er to probe the emperor's tone.

Wen Yue responded with a smile one by one, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the slave and maid Ming'er will definitely be ready." ”

Mu Qingya nodded, and then she was reassured.

Early in the morning of the second day, Mu Qingya took the food box to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"It was the concubine Niangniang." Diao Jinzhong saw that it was Mu Qingya, and gave Mu Qingya a gift without humility or arrogance: "The concubine is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Diao Jinzhong is a celebrity in front of the emperor, Mu Qingya naturally wants to give him some face, nodded and accepted the salute one by one, and said with a smile: "The palace made some snacks for the emperor, and I wanted my father-in-law to serve the emperor early in the morning, so I didn't have time to have breakfast, and by the way, I also made some for my father-in-law." ”

After that, she gave Wen Yue a look, Wen Yue immediately understood, and handed the smaller food box to Diao Jinzhong, Diao Jinzhong immediately smiled, but still handed the food box forward slightly, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the concubine is worried, what kind of character is the slave, how dare you use the dim sum made by the concubine Niangniang." ”

Wen Yue smiled and said, "It's just some snacks, so my father-in-law will take them." ”

Diao Jinzhong withdrew his hand and accepted the snack with a smile. Mu Qingya asked, "Is the emperor inside?" ”

Diao Jinzhong nodded: "The emperor is reviewing the excerpts inside, the concubine Niangniang will wait for a while, and the slave will go to pass it on for the mother." ”

"There is Father-in-law Lao."

Diao Jinzhong made a salute, then opened the curtain and entered the inner room, saluted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine asks to see you." ”

Mu Qingya? Gu Shaoyuan frowned invisibly, why did she come over? Gu Shaoyuan looked up and saw Diao Jinzhong holding a food box in his hand, and squinted

After entering the palace, there are only a few people in the harem, although they stay in Kunning Palace every night, they can take time, Gu Shaoyuan will also go to the palaces to sit, this Mu Qingya is compared to others, although it is not too cold, in the end, it is not enthusiastic, why did he come over today? I also prepared two food boxes, thinking that I was prepared.

"Xuan."

Diao Jinzhong also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, nodded, respectfully put the food box on the shelf at the entrance, opened the curtain and went out with a smile: "The emperor summoned the concubine Niangniang." ”

Mu Qingya saw that Diao Jinzhong couldn't come out for a long time, and her heart had already risen to her throat, so she breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and said to Wen Yue: "You are waiting for the palace outside." ”

Wen Yue should be, Mu Qingya took the food box in Wen Yue's hand. Diao Jinzhong personally opened the curtain and followed Mu Qingya into the hall.

"The concubines see the emperor."

Gu Shaoyuan hummed lightly, put the pen away, and then raised his head, and saw Mu Qingya half-bent over, so he said lightly: "Excuse me." ”

After that, he looked down at the fold again, frowning, as if he had encountered a great difficulty.

Mu Qingya exhaled in her heart, suppressed the tension in her heart, got up with a smile and handed the food box to Gu Shaoyuan: "The emperor is tired after a busy morning, right?" The concubine specially soaked the big red robe with dew, and the emperor tasted it, can it conform to the emperor's taste? ”

Gu Shaoyuan raised his eyelids and glanced at Mu Qingya lightly, and nodded noncommittally. Mu Qingya breathed a sigh of relief at this time, poured a cup of tea for Gu Shaoyuan and handed it over.

Gu Shaoyuan put down the fold at this time, took the tea and took a sip lightly, the taste was really good, and the frowning brows that had been frowning were also comfortably relaxed.

Seeing this, Mu Qingya seemed to be encouraged, and put a few plates of dim sum from the middle of the food box to the side of the small table, and said with a smile: "The concubine just made a few dim sums, and brought them over for the emperor to taste." ”

Gu Shaoyuan nodded, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I look at the small food box you gave to Mr. Diao?" ”

Mu Qingya nodded with a smile, and generously admitted: "Father-in-law Diao serves the emperor with all his heart, and it can be regarded as a concubine who treats the emperor for the emperor." ”

Gu Shaoyuan nodded, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Bring a plate here, I will also taste the craftsmanship of the concubine." ”

Mu Qingya smiled, handed over a plate of peach crisp, and said with a smile: "What kind of craftsmanship is not craftsmanship, the emperor is used to laughing at his concubines." ”

After that, he bit his lower lip lightly, and said with a smile: "The concubine made some more snacks and wanted to send them to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, but I didn't know that the Empress Dowager Xi would recover some, and these foods were not easy to restrain ...... The concubine lost her words and asked the emperor to forgive her sins. ”

Seeing that Gu Shaoyuan's eyes, who had been smiling, suddenly turned cold, although it was deliberately tentative, but in the end, he was so frightened by the coldness in Gu Shaoyuan's eyes that he knelt down, Diao Jinzhong also gasped.

Gu Shaoyuan returned to normal, glanced at Mu Qingya who was kneeling on the ground, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said lightly: "What is wrong with you worrying about the body of the Empress Dowager Xi?" Get up. ”

Mu Qingya looked up at Gu Shaoyuan's expression, and saw that Gu Shaoyuan's expression had returned to normal, so she breathed a sigh of relief and got up from the ground, but she didn't dare to say anything more.

Gu Shaoyuan was somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that Mu Qingya knew that the Empress Dowager Dong was going to do something to the Empress Dowager West but concealed herself, but it was human nature to protect her body, and Gu Shaoyuan didn't have much to say, besides, Mu Qingya, as a member of the Mu family, was holding a weapon that was in opposition to the Xue family, as long as Mu Qingya didn't do anything out of the ordinary, he could turn a blind eye, but she inquired about the physical condition of the Empress Dowager Xi...... Could it be that she also had a mind and wanted to take refuge in the Empress Dowager?

"The Empress Dowager Xi's body is recovering, and it is not appropriate to eat these, so don't send them."

If she really had thoughts that she shouldn't have, it was hard to guarantee that there would be no problems in the food sent to the Empress Dowager Xi. Even if she doesn't have that kind of mind, if she is used by someone with a heart to do something in the food, which will not only abolish the Mu family but also harm the Queen Mother Xi, wouldn't she kill two birds with one stone?

Mu Qingya squinted her eyes invisibly, and nodded resignedly: "The concubine knows." ”

In the end, it's my mother, how can I not care. It seems that the emperor is afraid that someone will do anything about the food of the Queen Mother of the West. After thinking about it, Mu Qing Yafu said: "Since the emperor is busy with the court, the concubines will not disturb the emperor. The concubine retired. ”

Gu Shaoyuan nodded, Mu Qingya bent down slightly and retreated to the door, and when he was about to open the curtain and go out, Gu Shaoyuan suddenly asked, "I heard that you are familiar with Ningjun Wang's sister?" ”

Mu Qingya didn't know what Gu Shaoyuan had done and suddenly mentioned Huo Yunxuan, for fear that Gu Shaoyuan would be angry with Huo Yunxuan because of his own affairs, Mu Qingya pondered and said: "My childhood friend, how did the emperor mention Ning Xin County Lord?" ”

Gu Shaoyuan shook his head lightly and said lightly: "Nothing, it's just that I'm afraid that you will be bored in the palace, and you have nothing to do when you have nothing to do, and the county lord of Ningxin will enter the palace to accompany you." ”

Mu Qingya then remembered that Huo Yunxuan was also doing things for Gu Shaoyuan, and the emperor ordered this, maybe he had something to tell Huo Yunxuan again......

After thinking about it, Mu Qingya nodded and responded, "The concubine knows." ”

Gu Shaoyuan nodded slightly, raised his hand and waved and said, "Go down." ”

Mu Qingya bent down and bowed, and walked out of the Heart Cultivation Hall by the palace maid.

As soon as Mu Qingya left, Gu Shaoyuan squinted, turned his head and glanced at Diao Jinzhong lightly, and asked, "Based on your experience, what do you think Mu Guifei is here this time?" ”

"How dare a slave guess the master's thoughts," Diao Jinzhong can be regarded as having served Gu Shaoyuan for many years, and he can be regarded as having a thorough understanding of Gu Shaoyuan's temper, this master has never loved others and has too many guesses about himself, and he doesn't like that he is surrounded by fools, so every time he speaks, Diao Jinzhong has to think about it in his heart for a long time: "I think Mu Guifei made a snack and wanted to honor the Queen Mother." ”

Gu Shaoyuan sneered and glared at Diao Jinzhong with a smile: "You are a person who takes short hands and eats people with a soft mouth!" Go and find out who Mu Guifei had contact with yesterday. ”

Diao Jinzhong should be, went out to find the person who had been placed in Jingyang Palace and inquired, and then returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Your Majesty, after the county lord of Ning Xin sent Mu Guifei back to Jingyang Palace last afternoon, Mu Guifei has never seen anyone else."

"Ning Xin County Lord sent Mu Guifei back?" Gu Shaoyuan raised his eyebrows, with a smile in his eyes, and raised his eyes to look at Diao Jinzhong: "After Ning Xin County Lord returns, how is Mu Guifei in mood?" ”

Diao Jinzhong hurriedly said: "Mu Guifei's face was a little pale after returning to Jingyang Palace...... It is said that I didn't sleep well all night last night. ”

No wonder I suddenly came over today to inquire about the Empress Dowager Xi, and it seems that she came to test herself...... The corners of Gu Shaoyuan's mouth hooked, and he couldn't tell whether it was a sneer or a transgression, but there was some smile and doting in his eyes: "This girl has even observed this matter." ”

Although he muttered, his tone was full of pride. And who the so-called "girl" in Gu Shaoyuan's mouth is, Diao Jinzhong naturally knows. I think that just now the emperor asked Mu Guifei to take people into the palace, and he said that he was accompanying Mu Guifei, and he didn't want to see him?

Glancing at Gu Shaoyuan with a sneering face, Diao Jinzhong said with a smile: "The slave remembers that the mighty general seems to be able to enter Beijing tomorrow, the Lu family does not have a mansion in the capital yet, Mrs. Lu is still living in her mother's house now, and she plans to move out after the New Year. ”

The mighty general is both Lu Feiang, the husband of Huo Xianfu, the father of Lu Chenghei, and the uncle of the Huo family.

In the end, he has been serving by his side for many years, Gu Shaoyuan shook his head with a smile, glared at Diao Jinzhong, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "General Lu is also a hero who has won glory for the country all the way and defeated the barbarians.
