Chapter 26 and Eight Huangmei Banquet
Sometimes, it seems cruel, but when you look at it, it is also a kind of compassion.
Lou Lanxi looked at the quiet and slight greenery in the garden, and the sadness in her heart was so cold that there was no trace of warmth. She thought that nothing could make her heart colder, but when the Emperor left coldly without a trace of pity this morning, she knew that her heart could be even colder......
She didn't love that man, and even felt that it was a humiliation to be committed to him, but she didn't expect that the greater humiliation would be to be used up as a tool and thrown aside.
Why, exactly? Lou Lanxi didn't notice that the silk handkerchief she was dragging had been deformed, and her beautiful face had lost the original temperament that covered the world.
Without the emperor's love, what use is she a chess piece? How will she gain the emperor's affection? Oh, yes! Even if she didn't like it, she had to try her best to please the emperor and gain his favor.
"The slave maid has seen the girl, the yellow plum blossoms in the imperial garden, the queen has set up a special flower viewing banquet, in the afternoon, the master of the harem will arrive, and there are many sons and daughters of official eunuchs. Because the girl only entered the palace yesterday, she hurriedly scolded the slave maid to invite her today, and hoped that the girl would attend on time. ”
Lou Lanxi turned around and saw a servant girl in a pink servant dress bowing to her, and before she could respond, she got up and said to herself.
A 'girl' stabbed her in the heart, and her body stiffened, but it was not as good as the queen to send a third-class girl, and she ignored her like this, which made her hurt. A third-class girl, a girl who is not salty or light, how can she not slap her in the face. She had no position, and the emperor didn't give her a position last night, but just accepted her like this......
She is just a 'gift' from Qi Lian to Dongyue, is it already a promotion to be called a 'girl'?
But no matter how bad she is, she is still the county lord of Emperor Qilian! How dare they? Even if the Emperor of Dongyue has not given her the title, but he stayed all night last night, and not a single qiē has not been determined, how dare they now?
Lou Lanxi clenched her hands under her sleeves, her face was gloomy but forcibly hidden, she squeezed a stiff smile, and said: "Thank you for the queen's love, please go back to the queen's mother, the county lord will definitely arrive on time." ”
Even if others look at her lightly, she has to straighten her back!
"Yes, the slave will go back to the queen." The pink-clothed palace maid answered, but she didn't leave immediately. Lou Lanxi saw the personal maid Lu Cheng brought by Qi Lian, and hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the purse, and the other party left in a daze.
"Stand down, little... Miss, I'll be fine here. Lu Cheng waved away the palace people who were already waiting in this garden, and when everyone went out, he walked to Lou Lanxi's side with tears in his eyes.
"Miss, you have to bear with it, with your beauty and talent, you will definitely be favored by the emperor." Lu Yu gently broke Lou Lanxi's clenched hands, and felt distressed when she saw the unrecognizable palm.
"Well, let's put on makeup, aren't you going to the Huangmei Banquet?" The soft and sweet voice was empty and cold at this time, as if it had lost its vitality.
“…… Be. "Even if Lu Yu can't bear it, he can only suppress his distress.
Murong Jiu lifted the corner of the curtain, looked at the palace gate in front of him, and couldn't help asking, "What do you say the emperor will do with Lou Lanxi?" ”
Murong Jiu didn't want to ask for fear that Dongfang Yi would feel uncomfortable if he had a pimple in his heart, but the emperor had accepted Lou Lanxi but still had no intention of being sealed, so she couldn't understand this kind of behavior. After all, on the premise of diplomatic relations between the two countries, how could the emperor at least be a concubine! But he didn't allow anything, only said that the court would open in February and discuss it again.
Although the emperor's approach is not wrong, he is now in the New Year's holiday, and it is common sense not to be able to issue hundreds of officials or even announce to the world, but no matter what, he should give Qi Lian a reply first.
"The seal will definitely be sealed, and the position will not be low, but it will drag on for some time." Dongfang Yi once again pulled Murong Jiu back into his arms, and his cold tone seemed indifferent.
"Drag? How long will it be delayed? What is the purpose? Murong Jiu turned around, lying comfortably in Dongfang Yi's arms, muttered comfortably, and asked lazily.
The emperor's style is not to use conspiracy and conspiracy crosswise, it is really difficult for her to simply think that it is just right.
"Hmph, let's sharpen Qi Lian's arrogance, so that they know that they must be sincere in asking for help; Second, since the emperor's ......" voice suddenly stopped, a dark color crossed Dongfang Yi's eyes, but he only said for a moment: "...... Never spent the night in the courtyard of the harem, but stayed in Huaxiangyuan last night, such a favor is bound to attract redness. I think this is also the emperor wants to use the power of the harem to try Lou Lanxi well, and want to see what kind of ability she has. ”
There is another point that Dongfang Yi did not say, with his understanding of the emperor, I am afraid that there is still a meaning to please him. The grievances and grievances between Lou Lanxi and Murong Jiu, the emperor will not be unheard.
"Well, that makes sense! The emperor was really treacherous. Murong Jiu nodded heavily and pouted.
But when the words fell, Murong Jiu looked up at Dongfang Yi with a sense of horror in his heart, afraid that he would be angry, after all, she was talking about his father!
"Oh, I'm afraid!" Dongfang Yi ravaged Murong Jiu's face and said with a smile. There was no difference at all, as if the person Murong Jiu just said had nothing to do with him.
"Hmmm! I don't care if it's emperor or not, but I care about how you feel. Murong Jiu replied seriously, without a half-twisted confession.
Emotions often only need a look or a word, just like Dongfang Yi now, Murong Jiu's words made his heart skip a beat, and he couldn't contain it against the red lips that spit out love words, and he was deeply shaken......
When entering the palace gate, Dongfang Yi asked the guards to report to the emperor for a meeting, and as soon as they arrived outside the door of the imperial study, the eunuch guarding the door directly invited them in.
"Son-in-law, see father."
"The people's daughter sees the emperor."
The two saluted at the same time, one was indifferent and the other was indifferent, it was so compatible, and standing together was made in heaven.
"Excuse me." Dongfang Xiao's eyes roamed over Dongfang Yi and Murong Jiu, and there was a hint of joy in his voice.
Dongfang Xiao is a shrewd person and a person who has come over, Murong Jiu stayed in the Xiaoyao Mansion overnight and now he is coming together, and then looking at Murong Jiu's elegance with a hint of charm, Dongfang Yi's expression is refreshing, how can he not know what happened between them! also roughly guessed what Dongfang Yi was asking to see this time, but he didn't show it, just waiting for Dongfang Yi to come by himself.
"Erchen entered the palace this time, in addition to bringing Jiu'er to bid farewell to his father, he also came to ask for a decree." There was no trace of affection on Dongfang Yi's indifferent face, but he could hear what he said seriously.
"Oh, is Murong girl uncomfortable living in the palace?" Dongfang Xiao omitted Dongfang Yi's words, and did not ask him, but directly asked the party Murong Jiu.
