Chapter 16: Kagurahou's Teasing

When Zhao An arrived at Kunning Palace, he was already tired and sweating profusely, and there was a wet stain on the back of the dark red palace clothes of the inner officials. The cold of the icy clothes against his back made him have goosebumps outside the Kunning Palace, and he shrunk his neck under the collar, his expression was very uncomfortable.

The gatekeeper eunuch of Kunning Palace was not very old, and he was stunned when he saw Zhao An:

"Yo, Father-in-law Zhao of Xiao Yexuan? Why are you here alone, your master? ”

Today is the day when the harem master greets Queen Qian, and several concubines came one after another early in the morning. Xiao Yexuan is now only sent to the father-in-law, which is incredible.

Zhao An poked out the handkerchief to suppress the sweat on his forehead, quickly considered it in his mind, and opened his mouth one by one:

"Don't mention it, my master can't come!"

"Huh?"

The little eunuch looked stunned:

"What do you mean?"

Zhao An raised his neck to the inside of the gate and asked the little eunuch:

"Dare to ask my father-in-law, is Xu Niangniang of Chuxiu Palace inside?"

The little eunuch nodded abruptly:

"Where! A quarter of an hour later. ”

Zhao An's face was a little relaxed, and he arched his hand:

"Okay, our family came to see Xu Niangniang on the order of Zhaoyi's master, Master Yu is looking for her in an urgent matter, and my father-in-law is bothered to spread it to our family."

Zhao An deliberately took a detour here, deliberately showing that when people went to Queen Qian's palace, they wanted to bypass the queen mother to find Concubine Xu, and he had his own plans.

Although the matter is urgent, her Wan Yuyao pretended to be sick and did not go to Kunning Palace to ask for peace, which is rude, but as a minion, she can directly meet the queen and discuss the behavior of the imperial concubine, which is not only more polite, but also investigated in depth, and is suspected of provoking discord between the masters of the two palaces.

At present, he asked the little eunuch to pass the news that he wanted to see Concubine Xu, and the queen must be displeased when she learned about it, so when he asked Zhao An to go in and ask questions, he took the opportunity to explain everything to her.

Sure enough, the eunuch guarding the door looked puzzled after hearing this, and his eyes kept rolling up and down to look at Zhao An's face.

Could it be that Father-in-law Zhao is confused today, how can he speak so incoherently?

The master of his family despised the rules of his ancestors and did not say anything, and he did not come to the queen's palace to greet him after the festival, how could he not be sensible as the head of the house?

Zhao An saw that the little eunuch was still moving, so he stomped his feet and urged:

"Hurry up! , you and I can't afford to make a mistake! ”

The little eunuch was young and had a shallow history, and after hearing this, he ran into the inner garden.

The main hall of Kunning Palace was full of tea, and Queen Qian chatted with several concubines.

Half an hour ago, Concubine Shu, Concubine Xu, Li Meiren and the two servants arrived in the queen's palace before and after, and the sisters ate tea and chatted together.

The palace maid brought the curtain into the hall and passed on to Queen Qian:

"Qi Yu Niangniang, Xiao Yexuan sent someone to urgently find Master Xu."

Queen Qian frowned and smiled after hearing this, her complexion sank, and she looked really annoyed.

The concubines sitting on both sides all looked at each other, and most of them looked puzzled.

The palace maid in charge saw it sideways, her sharp eyebrows and eyes immediately turned up, and she lowered her eyes and said cruelly to the palace maid who reported the incident:

"Confused things talk nonsense, Yu Zhaoyi sent someone to our palace to find out what the master is doing!"

The palace maid's face was crimson, her aggrieved chin was aggrieved, and she said:

"Aunt Hui, it is, yes, yes......"

Su Yan's thin eyebrows were high, and he asked abruptly:

"You say, how many people are there in Xiao Yexuan?"

"Back to my aunt, only Gonggong Zhao, who is in charge, came alone, and the little Dianzi who guarded the door said that the person is now outside, and when he arrives at the place, he will be anxious to find Master Xu with a white face!"

Su Yun's face was shocked and she stopped talking, turned her head to look at Queen Qian and waited for her to decide.

Queen Qian was even more angry, and snorted indignantly:

"She just regained her favor there, so she doesn't take this palace in her eyes!"

Concubine Xu sat on the right side of the queen, and she had already understood what was going on, and she couldn't help but have a solemn expression, and a trace of uneasiness faintly surfaced in her heart.

Worried eyes turned to Queen Qian, and Concubine Xu said lightly:

"Niangniang, Sister Yu is steady and decent, and she will never act so abruptly, don't be in a hurry with Xiao Yexuan."

Empress Qian pondered for a moment, then raised her head and ordered:

"Bring the people of Xiao Yexuan to see the main palace."

……

Yongning Palaceβ€”β€”

Concubine Ye suddenly squinted when she saw the red spot on Gu Yunyao's neck.

The two crimson marks are not big or small, and they are scorching on the snow-white skin, so you can imagine how crazy the emperor must have been for last night's spring supper.

The water color at the bottom of Qingming's eyes was cloudy for a moment, like the gloomy and oppressive sky on the eve of a heavy rain.

She deliberately raised her voice an octave so that every concubine present could hear it clearly.

After that, Concubine Ye turned around, and the tail of her narrow and unfettered eyes gently fell on Wan Yuyao, who was looking up, only to see that her refined peach blossom face was dark and unpretentious, and her beautiful eyes suddenly burst out with an extremely cold light.

Gu Yunyao, who was at the bottom, was handed over in public, her face was blushing, she was a little distressed, and she looked nervous when she combed her clothes with trembling fingers:

"Sister Ye, don't ...... like this"

"Yo, we're all women, and my sister is embarrassed."

Concubine Ye said with no match, and the corners of her mouth raised an evil smile.

At this moment, Yang Cainu, who was sitting opposite, chuckled a few times, lowered her eyebrows and played with the tea set in her hand, and said in a cold tone:

"Sister Yu is an old man in the harem, I'm afraid I've forgotten how to serve the emperor after lying sick for a long time, right? If the body is not well, my sister has prepared some female ointment in the palace, and she can send someone to give her a box. ”

Chen Zhaoyi, who was next to her, smiled after hearing this, turned her head with a dignified look, and glanced at Yang Cainu with cold eyes:

"You have just entered the palace and have never been in bed, what do you know? I didn't see Sister Yu with such a ruddy and glorious face today, how could she say that she was unhappy? Those things, you still have to keep them and use them yourself after you go into battle! ”

Gu Yunjin sat firmly on the other side of the deputy seat, her expression was indifferent and did not participate in the discussion, her delicate red lips were slightly curved, and her smile lines were sinister and sinister.

Gu Yunjin knew that the imperial concubine had other plans to summon a few of them over now, but she didn't say a word at this time, waiting for the mother to give the order for everyone to take action.

On the main seat, Wan Yuyao's eyes were staring at Gu Yunyao's side face, and her gaze was cold.

Dead woman, just looking at the side face is already charming and beautiful, no wonder she was fascinated by the emperor's soul at the beginning, and once enjoyed all the favors.

Think you'll have your best days when you're petted? Hmph, this palace will let you know what life is better than death today-

The sound of footsteps outside came one after another, and Bai Quan, the person in charge, came in, raised his hand and whisked the dust, and reported:

"Niangniang, the Marquis of Kagura asks to see me."

"Him?"

Wan Yuyao raised her eyes in surprise, the corners of her mouth crooked, she didn't expect her own brother to visit her at this moment.

Wan Yuyao's red lips opened lightly and she was about to speak, the door curtain had already been raised, and Kagura Hou Wanli entered with her hands, wearing a stone blue and eight groups of forged gowns, lined with two-color hundred butterflies and red arrow sleeves, and a green forged foundation thin boot on his feet leisurely crossed the threshold.

The concubines all stood up and saluted. Wan Li's face was full of spring breeze, and he bowed down with his fists, first to meet his eldest sister Wan Yuyao, and then to meet the concubines one by one with a smile.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and when he greeted Gu Yunjin, he was attracted by her charming appearance.

Look at her complexion, her complexion is white and red, her cheeks are light like spring and snow, her facial features are delicate and delicate, her two thick and long eyelashes are intertwined like feathers, her starry eyes are like autumn waves, and her weak figure has three points of grace.

I can't help but sigh secretly, this Jin Jieyu is really more and more marked, tsk, the emperor's old man's glamorous blessing is indeed not shallow-

Gu Yunjin instinctively felt that there was a scorching gaze on the other side, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look, and was meeting Wanli's greedy and smiling gaze, and suddenly took a step back in panic and sat down slowly.

Even if he was panicking in his heart, in the end, he was stared at by a man who was in his prime, Gu Yunjin not only did not feel half resentful and uncomfortable, but his heart was cleansed, causing ripples to move slightly.

At the moment when Wanli entered the hall, Gu Yunjin had already noticed him, his eyebrows were like ink paintings, his face was like a spring breeze, his body was happily expanded under his luxurious brocade clothes, and his heroic posture was proud and showed a bit of domineering spirit, he was the kind of unruly and romantic character.

It was Wan Li's turn to salute Gu Yunyao, but when he saw his expression, he turned around and ignored her coldly.

Yu Zhaoyi's name Wan Li has heard Minglan talk about it more than once, and the woman who was trained by Leng Qingtang must be speaking to Dongchang.

Whoever speaks and does things for Dongchang, both men and women are Wan's enemies. I don't know what the eldest sister thinks, but she actually called the woman into her Yongning Palace.

Wan Yuyao shook her head helplessly.

Good fellow, you just broke in without waiting for a summons. It's a shame that the Lord is not here, otherwise a group of harem ladies are here, how embarrassing the scene will be.

Wan Yuyao was scared, but it was not good to face Wan Li's attack in person.

Her younger brother was spoiled by his family when he was a child, and he was a veritable "demon king of the mixed world", who did things openly and domineeringly, regardless of etiquette.

Thanks to the strength of his son, he guarded the border with his father very early, and he was not abolished after experiencing strict beating and forging in the barracks.

Wanli entered the hall with two attendants, and the two of them worked together to carry a small rectangular wooden box.

"You are not resting in Nanyuan today, how did you enter the palace?"

Wan Yuyao's delicate face was shrouded in a touch of resentment, and she asked Wan Li dissatisfiedly.

Since the last time he failed to offer a treasure in the Four Elephants Daolu of the National Teacher, and was scolded out of the palace by the emperor in anger, he did not dare to show his face in the palace again.

Although I still feel angry in my heart when I think about it, I am also my own brother in the end. Wan Yuyao thought, now that people come to see her, they can't kick him out in public.

Wan Li grinned, as if he had long been thrown out of the sky by the emperor's bitterly scolded past.

Pointing to the small wooden box on the ground, Wanli frowned:

"There is nothing important in Nanyuan today, so I will enter the palace to see the eldest sister. This box of gifts is something I have prepared for my eldest sister a long time ago, so let's see if you like it. Come on, open it. ”

The chamberlain lifted the wooden cover, and the inside was full of brilliance, and the bright and cold eyes of the people present were almost blinded.

The box is full of jewelry, exquisite, and the concubines on both sides are amazed.

Only Gu Yunyao sat down steadily, and her shallow eyes swept slightly into the box before turning to the side, secretly squinting and knowing in her heart.

Wan Yuyao's delicate eyebrows and eyes flashed with a trace of cold light, and there was a few more resentments towards Wan Li's arrogance in her heart.

Needless to ask, she also knew that her brother must have made a few more deals in the dark, but he shouldn't have entered the palace at this time and displayed these gold and silver ornaments in public.

At present, the urgent matter has not been done, and it is difficult for her to dismiss the concubines.

The various amazing and envious expressions exposed by the concubines were extremely useful, and Wan Li was proud, standing tall in the hall with his hands and chest up.

His thoughts were many times simpler than his eldest sister, and when the dumbfounded looks in front of him were envious of Wan's rich family assets, he would never think of it elsewhere.

Wan Yuyao raised her eyebrows and looked at both sides, and said in a casual voice:

"My brother does have a heart for this palace, but there are a lot of these palaces, and there are not many places where horizontal and vertical can come in handy.

Concubine Ye's eyes lit up, she forced the joy in her heart, and threw it on her mouth to be reserved:

"Yo, how bad this is, horizontal and vertical is also Uncle Guo's heart for Niangniang."

Wan Li waved his hand and smiled generously:

"Ye Niangniang still doesn't understand my sister's sex, she is rewarded when you are your own, you take it well."

"That, that's so, the concubine has thanked the mother and the uncle!"

Concubine Ye couldn't wait, and as soon as she finished speaking, she and the concubines rushed up to surround the wooden box and choose their favorite jewelry.

Wan Li slowly turned to Gu Yunjin's side, raised his nose and sniffed the sweet aroma of her body, and the soft-soled thin boots didn't make a sound when she walked.

In the end, seeing the world is short-sighted, Gu Yunjin was dazzled when facing a box of jewelry, picking up this and looking at that, and couldn't make up her mind for a while.

As she was sighing, she noticed that a large, thin white and slender hand suddenly appeared in her hand.

Gu Yunjin's eyes flashed in shock, and she hurriedly withdrew her little hand.

Straightened up and turned his head to look, and saw Wan Li pick up an emerald bracelet from the box and hand it to her with a smile.

"Little Lord Jin, this bracelet is the best match for you. The so-called 'sleeves to see the plain hands, Hao wrist about the gold ring', the small master jade wrist snow color, wearing it must be an excellent style, extraordinary temperament. Come, how about this king put it on you? ”

He took a step closer to her with two fingers around the emerald bracelet, his sword eyebrows slanted and self-dyed in three fine colors, his squinting eyes flickering, and the luster was ambiguous.

Gu Yunjin was a little at a loss, although she was overjoyed by Wan Li's clever mouth, she didn't dare to reach out to pick up the emerald bracelet in front of the public, her crystal cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were swaying and she looked to the side, and her shyness always gave people the illusion of wanting to refuse and welcome:

"Lord Hou, don't make fun of the concubines......"

"Huh...... Little Lord, a bracelet for you. ”

After Wan Li finished speaking, he stuffed the emerald bracelet into Gu Yunjin's hand, and the evil gaze was still glued to her face.

When Wan Yuyao saw it, she frowned again and her heart narrowed.

This brother of hers, her brother who is not angry!

Flirting with girls doesn't even matter the occasion, and they don't hesitate to be stingy with each other's identity!

It's really a pair of horse tags in his sleeves, and whoever is arrested has to come with whom-
