Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Prince's Heart Is Unfathomable
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long liveβ"
Everyone knelt on the ground, although Qingjia was very curious, he didn't dare to move at the moment, so he could only obediently learn the movements of others, for fear that something would go wrong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
"Flat." The emperor is a middle-aged man over forty years old, dressed in a dragon robe, embroidered gold boots, and a nine-dragon crown on the top, dressed in bright yellow, showing dignity, but under closer inspection, he found that he looked ordinary, and his body was slightly blessed, but standing there for no reason made people feel a kind of majesty of two trembling.
Qingjia got up with everyone, and Gu Yan next to him didn't know if it was because he was weak after kneeling for a long time or how he didn't stand firm for a while when he got up, his body was soft and his elbow just hit Qingjia's waist, Qingjia didn't notice it, and his body was crooked in an instant, and he fell down in front of everyone with an oops.
Everyone was startled, and with a bang, the guard with a knife behind the emperor drew his knife, looking vigilant, Qing Jia saw the white and shiny blade, and trembled with fright.
Lu Yi looked at Qingjia, her eyes were extremely cold, and she couldn't wait to sweep her out of the house at this moment!
This bastard girl shouldn't have come back! Where is this to give him a birthday, this is simply urging his life!
Qing Jia also saw Lu Yi's cold expression, and her heart trembled, and Mrs. Lu's eyes were even more panicked when she wanted to tear her apart.
Raising his head and seeing the man who everyone admired was not angry and arrogant, he instantly burst into tears, Qingjia had only one thought in his heart at this time, it's over, it's dead!
At this moment, Lu Yi immediately made a decision, bent forward and knelt down, and said: "The emperor is angry, Weichen has no way to teach his daughter, the emperor lost his manners, and collided with His Majesty, it is really a crime that deserves death!" β
The emperor didn't seem to hear Lu Yi's plea, his eyes kept falling on Qing Jia's bloodless face, even though he had read the world, but he still felt that the world was overshadowed.
Everyone looked at each other, only to feel that the dragon's heart was unpredictable, so they had to kneel on the ground again and call for forgiveness.
Only then did the emperor come back to his senses, cough slightly, and waved his hand: "It's okay, let's calm down." β
Qingjia's legs were weak at this time, her body was very weak, and she was a little powerless after struggling several times, but no one around got up to help her.
Lu Yi swept his eyebrows, his eyes were like knives, and Qing Jia hurriedly got up, the emperor looked at her cuteness, but smiled, his heart warmed, but he couldn't say comfortable, and said: "It's abrupt that the beauty is mine, you don't have to be afraid." β
It should have been a joke, but all the people present were old people who had been with him for a long time, and they all changed color when they heard this.
Lu Yi's face was even pale, the hands in his sleeves trembled a few times, and fine sweat was forced on his forehead, obviously it was still late autumn, but he had a feeling of cold winter for no reason.
But the emperor has always been used to doing whatever he wants, and he doesn't care about the faces of the people present at all, and he doesn't hide his romantic nature at all, and he seems to be true and fake: "Lu Aiqing really deserves to be a family of poetry, books, etiquette and music, and the daughter who was raised is also so temperamental and generous." β
Qing Jia felt very uncomfortable when she heard this, she was ugly in front of everyone just now, and the person in front of her actually said that she was generous, isn't this just saying the opposite to mock herself! Dengshi felt ashamed and ashamed, red from his cheeks to the back of his ears. I felt very uncomfortable, I couldn't help but feel a little resentful, I lowered my head and glared at the emperor fiercely with the corner of my eye, who knew that he was caught, he actually looked at himself all the time, and his eyes didn't move away at all!
Qing Jia was shocked, uneasy, and trembled invisibly, if he had changed the disrespect of others, he should have dragged it out and cut it off, but by Qing Jia's staring at him like this, the emperor felt that there was no anger in his heart, but he felt itchy.
It's already noon at this moment, and if it weren't for this little turmoil, the birthday banquet would have started at this moment. But at this moment, they are all standing in the courtyard and carefully welcoming the Son of Heaven, not daring to slack off in the slightest, and now the atmosphere is no longer the festive human brain just now.
As for the emperor's departure of the Lu Mansion today, it was a whim and not for Lu Yi's birthday, but now he feels that he has come at the right time.
Beautiful, wonderful.
I couldn't help but be happy, and waved my hand and ordered: "You don't have to be polite, I am here today uninvited, everyone should be seated, don't delay the hour." β
Lu Yi was on the verge of amnesty, so she hurriedly and carefully welcomed the Son of Heaven into the house, arranged a seat, and the birthday banquet went smoothly.
During the banquet, the emperor and the emperor's relatives and important ministers lived at a table, and the others also sat down in order according to their positions, but the ladies were eating in the backyard, and the emperor felt a little regretful in his heart when he saw the beautiful peach-colored figure.
After a few glasses of wine, he looked at Lu Yi and said: "Aiqing is really blessed, her son is smart, and her daughter is so moving, she has a bit of the grace and appearance of Concubine Rong." β
Concubine Rong is the most favored woman of the founding emperor of the Yan Dynasty, and it is recorded that she is unparalleled in the world and the peerless beauty of the harem.
Lu Yi couldn't help but sweat coldly when he heard this, what does the emperor mean by this? mentioned his daughter again and again, according to years of understanding, I am afraid that this master's mind is alive again. Thinking of the emperor's eyes looking at Qing Jia just now, how could he not know the affection contained in it as a man, Lu Yi also regretted it in his heart at this moment, if he had known that the wild girl could have this kind of creation today, she should not have been married to Chen Wei in a hurry, if not, wouldn't it be a great blessing now.
lost a concubine in vain, Lu Yi was also extremely sorry in her heart, after several joys and sorrows for a while, her mood fluctuated, and she couldn't be happy even if it was her birthday.
But the emperor's words could not be ignored, so he could only say respectfully: "How can the little girl's vulgar appearance be compared with Concubine Taizu Rong, the difference between cloud and mud is just that the saint has praised it." β
The emperor seemed to be smiling, and said: "Hey, Aiqing, this is too modest, I look at Ling Qianjin's posture, I'm afraid that Concubine Rong will be inseparable in the world." After a pause, he said meaningfully: "Such a good virtue Lu Aiqing has to choose a good family affair for her, and she must not be wronged." β
Sure enoughβ
These words have been said to the point that there is only a layer of paper left without breaking it, and Lu Yi regretted it even more in his heart, the emperor really had such thoughts about Qingjia, if not......
It seems that he gave the peerless treasure to others by himself, Lu Yi has an indescribable complex regret in her heart, if she hadn't cheapened Chen Wei at the beginning, wouldn't she have become a national ruler now!?
The emperor has always been faint and very romantic, and he is in the harem. If Qingjia can enter the palace to accompany him, and the emperor loves it so much, then he must be the favorite of the harem, and he will not be in the previous dynasty to get the wind and rain.
After all, the reason why Tang Taishi was able to be as powerful in the court was not because his concubine's daughter was favored in the harem.
Originally, the other insiders present were holding the mentality of watching jokes as foils, but when they heard this, they couldn't help but move.
Lu Yi was even more uncomfortable, and smiled reluctantly: "...... Don't dare to disobey what the emperor said, but the little girl was married last year, and I am afraid that she will live up to the good intentions of the saints. β
The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? β
Lu Yi was shocked, knowing that it was not good, and was thinking about what to do, but the emperor continued as if nothing had happened: "That's really a pity," paused, and changed the conversation: "I suddenly remembered that my Princess Kunyi is seventeen years old this year, which should be the age of marriage." It's just that her relatives have hesitated for a long time, for fear of wronging her. Everyone on the left and right thinks it's bad, but if it drags on any longer, I'm afraid it will delay her, and I really don't know what to do. β
The emperor's words faintly meant to blame, Lu Yi was such a delicate character, and he naturally knew the emperor's dissatisfaction.
What the!?
Such a beauty, you didn't dedicate it to me, but hastily married her!?
Lu Yi secretly complained in his heart, he didn't want such a result. Who knows that the rough girl at the beginning has now become a phoenix and has become so seductive.
At a birthday banquet, everyone ate food without knowing the taste, Lu Yi was upset, and the rest of the people were gloating.
Although Lu Yi did not make many enemies in the court, there were still people who didn't like his disobedience after being together for a long time, and now looking at his ugly face, he applauded loudly in his heart.
The emperor didn't know if he was really in high spirits or how, he drank a lot of wine, but he was not drunk, and the rest of the people didn't dare to spoil the fun, so they could only drink with their heads, and drank batch after batch.
Finally, the eunuch who was close to the emperor walked to his side, and after a few inaudible whispers, the emperor staggered to his feet, waved his hand to signal that there was no need for idlers to follow, and the chief eunuch said to Lu Yi: "Lord Lu, the emperor is not strong enough to drink, in order not to hurt the dragon body, let's announce a imperial doctor to come." β
Lu Yi hurriedly nodded yes, although he was also dizzy and drunk, he still endured and said: "Then the emperor will temporarily go to the inner courtyard of the Weichen Mansion to rest for a while, and the minister will go to ask the imperial doctor." β
β¦β¦
The ladies in the backyard had a much simpler meal, and it didn't take long for it to end, and most of the ladies and ladies got up to say goodbye after the feast, because there were holy cars in front of them who did not dare to leave through the back door, and it didn't take long for the backyard to be quiet.
Qingjia was unsettled after the twists and turns just now, and Gu Yan on the side apologized for his carelessness just now.
"Jiajia, I'm sorry, I accidentally caused you just now."
"Fortunately, there is no danger, Sister Gu doesn't have to take it to heart."
Qing Jia turned upside down to comfort her, she really scared her just now, but she was embarrassed to say anything when she saw Gu Yan so guilty, fortunately there was no irreparable accident, and the result was not too bad, so she didn't care much about it.
Thinking like this, Qing Jia found that Gu Yan's face was not very good, thinking that she seemed to have drunk a lot of wine at the banquet just now, isn't it that she is drinking hard?
"Sister Gu, are you drunk?"
Gu Yan rubbed his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid so, I'm a little nauseous and nauseous, and my head is very dizzy." β
Qingjia was distressed: "What can I do about this, or I'll go find a doctor for you." β
Gu Yan took her hand and shook her head: "No need, I'll just take a rest." β
Qingjia nodded and muttered: "Then go to my room......" but hesitated: "I'm already married, and I don't know if anyone has cleaned it there for so long." β
Gu Yan comforted her: "Let's go and see." β
So the two came to the Xiyuan attic where Qingjia lived before she got married, and although she still looked like she was before she got married, the table was indeed spotless, which showed that someone cleaned it from time to time.
Qingjia put down her heart and helped Gu Yan lie down on the bed, and the personal maid who went to serve Gu Yan tea came back, and when Qingjia poured tea for her, she saw the maid whispering a few words to Gu Yan, and when Qingjia came over, she immediately stood respectfully by the bed, looking like nothing had happened.
Gu Yan took the teacup in Qingjia's hand, took a sip, and said, "Thank you Jiajia." β
"Hey, you're welcome."
Qingjia stretched out his hand to raise the pillow for her, but Gu Yan held her hand, and said, "Jiajia, I'll just take a rest," his eyes flashed, and he lowered his eyes and said: "The Imperial Doctor Liu I told you a few days ago is also here today, and I have already told him that he is outside the hospital now, and you can see his carriage when you go out from the back door." β
Qingjia was taken aback: "Now?" β
Gu Yan nodded.
"But......" She hadn't said anything to Lu Yi and Mrs. Lu yet, if she left so silently, what would it be like.
Gu Yan seemed to see her hesitation, and took the initiative to say, "Jiajia, if you are worried about Mrs. Lu's side, I will wait for you to explain." β
Qingjia was tempted to hear this, she didn't want to stay in the Lu Mansion for a long time, she just wanted to grow wings and fly back quickly.
"Go ahead, don't keep the doctor waiting."
Qingjia finally nodded and said, "Then thank you, sister, I'll go first!" β
Gu Yan just nodded at her, and Qingjia hurriedly left through the back door.
It wasn't until there was no sound in the room that she knew that she had gradually walked away, that Gu Yan gently closed her eyes, and a tear crossed the corner of her eyes:
"Jiajia, I'm sorry."
