Chapter 140: Downcast? Ruthless (two more to ask for a monthly pass)
After that, the people in the water pavilion chatted, and Xiao Yang naturally talked with Emperor Chu about local customs, or poetry, or the art of war...... No matter what Emperor Chu says, Xiao Yang can always catch it. wWw.しωχS520.coM
Gu Mingnuan asked Liu Yi for calligraphy advice.
Yin Ru completely calmed down, silently thinking about her thoughts.
Concubine Ning De opened her mouth to talk to Yin Ru several times, but she was absent-mindedly coping.
Most of the others understood Yin Ru's embarrassment, Emperor Chu didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that Gu Mingnuan had won, and Yin Ru was once again disgraced.
Why use again?
The dignified Mrs. Beihou couldn't hold a young lady who had not yet come out of the cabinet, which was really appalling.
Before Yin Ru came to Beijing, she had a prominent reputation and was a well-known virtuous woman in the world, many people did not dare to compare with Mrs. Jingbei Hou, after Gu Mingnuan appeared, Yin Ru was knocked to the dust, and there was no more holy breath.
Her past with Jing Beihou and Gu Cheng was also revealed.
For Xiao Yue, the Marquis of Jingbei, the world has always had scruples, and skipped it lightly, focusing on Yin Ru who was in Jiao.
Gu Cheng has no official status, a businessman, born in Nanyang Gu but has not seen anyone stand out for him, he is profligate, likes beauty, and naturally does not get the sympathy of the world.
Yin Ru's abandonment of her husband and daughter, and Gu Cheng's greed and lust gradually spread in the imperial capital.
No one would say these things in front of them, but it did not prevent them from discussing Yin Ru's virtues in private.
The more Yin Ru loses face, the more criticism of her will be aggravated.
Gu Mingnuan was concentrating on talking to Liu Yi, but Xiao Yang was single-minded, dealing with Emperor Chu while paying attention to her movements, but unfortunately, Gu Mingnuan hadn't looked at him at all.
"Liu Qing went to the imperial study with me." Emperor Chu got up and said to the queen first: "This is up to you." ”
Then he said to Xiao Yang and the national teacher: "You kneel down." ”
"Yes."
Xiao Yang and the national teacher withdrew from the water pavilion.
The queen led the palace concubine to send Emperor Chu away.
Gu Mingnuan said: "Please allow me to retire, the sacrifice is imminent." I didn't dare to relax for a moment. ”
Queen Zhou originally wanted to leave her to speak, but she didn't dare to delay the event of sacrificing to the heavens, and said lovingly: "Go, don't tire yourself." ”
She asked the Shang Gong beside her to personally send Gu Mingnuan and reward her with a few buckets of pearls and a few sets of delicate heads.
After today, Queen Zhou took a more fancy to Gu Mingnuan. Is she more suitable to be the crown princess than her niece?
Although Emperor Chu faintly objected. The Zhou family has the ability to choose a crown princess who is in line with the interests of the crown prince, and it is completely possible for Emperor Chu to nod and agree.
Zhou Shoufu has rarely quarreled with Emperor Chu over the years, and has always firmly controlled the officials. Half of the officials of the dynasty had a relationship with the Zhou family.
Both sides did not dare to break the balance lightly, the Zhou family could allow Emperor Chu to favor Concubine Ningde, there were women in the harem, and even Emperor Chu could favor the six princes. But no one can shake the position of the crown prince.
The prince married Miss Zhou just to continue the honor of the Zhou family and give birth to a grandson with the blood of the Zhou family again.
Even if Miss Zhou can't be the crown princess, she will be the crown princess.
Gu Mingnuan politely thanked the queen. After saluting the concubines, they left the water pavilion.
Yin Ru sat for a while and said goodbye to the palace, she didn't even care about Xiao Bao'er anymore.
Concubine Zhaoxian was thoughtful. With a respectful face, she accepted Concubine Ningde's verbal rebuke, ridiculing her that the squire had never seen the world, and so on.
*****
The news in the palace spread the fastest, and the matter of the water pavilion quickly spread from the harem to the outside. Xiao Bao'er, who was waiting for her mother to be angry with her in Chaoyang Palace, heard about it, and felt even more angry. I wanted to smash something to get angry, but I found that there was nothing around for her to smash.
After all the maids and servants who served her were called away, no one returned.
"What about people? Where are they all dead? ”
Xiao Bao'er had a leg injury and was unable to move, so she was crying and making trouble so much that her throat seemed to be smoking, "Come on, bring me a cup of tea, come ......"
She shouted for a long time, but no palace maid came in.
Even if there were palace maids who wanted to settle the Beihou Mansion, at this time, when they saw that the palace maids serving Xiao Bao'er were dead, they didn't dare to come in to serve Xiao Bao'er.
"Gu Mingnuan, you stop for me."
Coincidentally, Gu Mingnuan passed in front of Xiao Bao'er's house, and Xiao Bao'er, who was called every day and the earth, saw that she didn't have anything to take advantage of, so she pulled out the phoenix hairpin from her head and smashed it at Gu Mingnuan, "It's all you, it's all you who hurt me!" ”
She cried endlessly, but she didn't dare to move lightly and hurt her leg.
And some sanity!
Gu Mingnuan watched Xiao Bao'er play tricks with great interest, her hair was scattered, her eyes were red and swollen, and Xiao Bao'er with tears on her face was very wolf.
In her previous life, she only knew Xiao Bao'er and her relatives in Fanbang, but she didn't see her miserable life in Fanbang, but in this life, she saw Xiao Bao'er suffering in pain, and Gu Mingnuan was in a very good mood.
The pleasure on Gu Ming's warm lips stung Xiao Bao'er deeply, "You don't have to be complacent, sooner or later I will ...... I would ......."
"What will happen?" Gu Mingnuan didn't mind falling into the well, "Sacrifice to the sky, you don't have to think about it, even your mother can't help you, oh, I forgot that you were injured, and you didn't even have your share in the blessing dance, and because your life was not good, it didn't matter to you to choose a girl to dance the blessing dance in the future." ”
"Gu Mingnuan!"
"I'm listening."
Gu Mingnuan looked left and left, and asked suspiciously: "Why is Mrs. Yin, who has always loved you the most and spoiled you, not by your side?" You're hurt, and you're in need of her love. ”
Xiao Bao'er bit her lip, "My mother won't leave me alone, she is very anxious about me, but she is just stumped by things." ”
By the end, the voice was getting quieter.
More than an hour had passed, and Yin Ru should have returned to her a long time ago.
Xiao Bao'er was left behind, Gu Mingnuan had also suffered, but at this time, she didn't sympathize with Xiao Bao'er at all.
Originally, she was a person with a bad heart and a grudge, "How can you be done if there is no one around you to take care of you?" Shall I ask the waiter to send a message to your mother? Big things don't matter to my daughter. ”
"No, I don't need your fake kindness."
Xiao Bao'er couldn't wait to pull Gu Mingnuan out of her bones, "If it weren't for you, how could I be in such a situation?" ”
It's not Gu Mingnuan, she is still the proud pearl of Jingbei Hou's palm, and she is sought after.
Her throat was as uncomfortable as fire, knowing that the ladies were practicing dance, and only Gu Mingnuan could pour her a cup of tea in the entire Chaoyang Palace, "Your father made me hurt, you should serve me and atone for Gu Yan...... Pour me a cup of tea......"
The voice was hoarse, anxious and angry, Xiao Baoer lost her voice.
"I'm going to-drink water-"
Xiao Bao'er's face turned pale, and she was afraid that she would never be able to make a sound anymore and become dumb, so she couldn't help but show a pleading look to Gu Mingnuan, and squirmed her lips, help me, help me.
Her pitiful appearance makes people sympathetic, but it does not include Gu Mingnuan.
Gu Mingnuan knew that Xiao Bao'er forgot about her kindness like Yin Ru, and in the future, Xiao Bao'er might not be grateful for Gu Mingnuan's help today, but cared that her down-and-out appearance of asking for help was seen by Gu Mingnuan.
"If you dare to drink the water I brought you, I won't dare to give it."
Gu Mingnuan coldly refused: "I always remember the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf!" (To be continued.) )>
