Chapter 17: Occlusion
Gongsun Chuyue looked at everything luxurious in front of him, his eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, dissatisfaction with the superiors, the frontier soldiers were not full of food and clothing, but this so-called emperor was indulging in pleasure, Gongsun Chuyue looked at the officials in front of him, all dressed in brocade clothes, and did not know how much silver he embezzled.
In the past, when she was Shen Qiuyue, she was stationed on the frontier, she knew very well what kind of hardship the soldiers suffered, in such a cold place, they didn't even have the most food and clothing, and they resisted the invasion of other countries from time to time, always on guard, not allowing them to have the possibility of sneak attack, they were doing their best to protect the country, in the eyes of her grandson Chuyue, those soldiers were the real heroes.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the name of one of the queen's nieces is, oh, Lin Ran, her paintings were very popular with the emperor during the last Peach Blossom Party, and the concubines don't know if there is a chance to see them again?" Gongsun Xin looked at the queen provocatively, a ghostly light flashed in her eyes, hmph, she wanted to see what kind of ability that was called Lin Ran, and she even wanted to hit the attention of the crown princess.
The crown princess can only fall in her grandson's house, so that she can be more sure of the queen, she has been under the queen for too long, so long that she is almost impatient, only when she becomes the queen, she will have the opportunity to see that person again, just a glance.
"What's so difficult about this, Concubine Ai likes it, then let her perform once, Miss Lin, how do you feel?" The emperor looked at Lin Ran, who was low, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
She was wearing a white dress, the best silk outlined her perfect figure, white but not transparent, the slightest light shone on the clothes, more elegant, and the facial features were exquisite, but the bright facial features were not smiling, and the eyes were cold, so that he couldn't take his eyes off.
Gongsun Chuyue noticed the emperor's gaze, hooked his head and smiled, she had a lot of dealings with the emperor in her previous life, so today she deliberately chose a fiery red dress, which is flamboyant and confident, which happens to not be the type that the emperor likes.
And Situ Heng also told her that the emperor has a strong desire to conquer in his bones, and he likes exciting things, which makes him feel a sense of accomplishment.
Gongsun Chuyue looked at Lin Ran, who was dressed in white not far away, the prime minister's concubine, and a trace of pity flashed in her eyes.
Gongsun Chuyue glanced at Gongsun Xin, Gongsun Xin smiled, as if he hadn't noticed all this, and couldn't help but think of what happened to her.
Gongsun Chuyue learned from Chunhua's mouth that this Gongsun Xin was also a poor person, she used to be like this Lin Ran, Miss, unruly, and Shen Feng at that time, the golden boy and jade girl, was praised by the world, but unfortunately she was taken by the emperor and was married into the palace, and she has been favored for many years.
"Your Majesty, it's so boring, I heard that Gongsun Chuyue, the second lady of Gongsun Mansion, is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, why don't you let the two of them try, how about the emperor give a lottery?" The queen looked at the emperor's eyes, chuckled, and secretly said that it was not good, her niece was too arrogant, and she always made people feel a sense of conquest, and then she hurriedly proposed to the emperor.
Gongsun Chuyue raised her head suddenly, she didn't know why the war spread to her, shouldn't it be Gongsun Yanran? Thought she was a soft persimmon?
"Haha, that's great, so let's get started." The emperor laughed and responded, his eyes glancing at Lin Ran from time to time, well, what a stunner.
Gongsun Chuyue had no choice but to come to the front of the main hall, well, she was the best at fighting in her previous life, and the piano she talked about before was still something that Situ Heng liked, so she just learned, oops, what do you want to perform.
Gongsun Chuyue glanced around, it was those familiar and unfamiliar faces, and he was in a hurry, hey.
"Back to the emperor, the courtiers need a sword." Gongsun Chuyue knelt on the ground, clasped her hands into fists, and said what she needed.
"Exactly." The emperor is also confused, and looks at what tricks she paints.
Gongsun Chuyue took the sword and shook it, and his momentum changed sharply, sharp and serious.
Gongsun Chuyue's feet slowly raised, his eyes stared at the tip of the sword, the shiny sword reflected her eyes, murderous, decisive and crisp, suddenly, the sword style mutated, Gongsun Chuyue kept churning her figure, she couldn't really see her face, and she couldn't see her moves clearly, only the fiery figure kept changing positions.
After a while, Gongsun Chuyue dragged the gauze on the top, constantly changing his moves around the gauze, and his figure kept changing, and the people who watched were dazzled and addicted.
Gongsun Gong and the eldest lady were stunned by Gongsun Chuyue's performance, a gloomy flash flashed in the eldest lady's eyes, it seems that she underestimated Gongsun Chuyue before, this woman is scheming, I hope not to have too much ambition, otherwise she doesn't mind making the world lose a person named Gongsun Chuyue.
The queen looked at the fascinated people, eager to bite the silver teeth, she picked up the teacup to cover her face, her face instantly collapsed, her eyes were cruel, and her eyes were gloomy.
When Gongsun Chuyue flew halfway, she suddenly heard a stabbing sound, she suddenly raised her head, saw the red cloth broken, and worried flashed in her eyes, if she fell like this, she would inevitably be injured, looking at the ground that was not low from the sky, she gritted her teeth, and her eyes turned sharply to think of a way to get out of the predicament.
Gongsun Chuyue wanted to expose her martial arts for a moment, no, if she went down today, she estimated that the eldest lady was already wary of her, so it would be difficult for her to do things in the future.
Gongsun Chuyue caught a glimpse of the pillar next to him, suddenly flew to the side, borrowed the pillar, and threw away the ribbon in his hand, but he didn't expect his feet to be tripped by the ribbon, and his body fell uncontrollably.
"Ahhh Gongsun Chuyue let her body fall down, and her body continued to rotate her power to reduce the impact on her body, just when everyone thought that she was really about to fall to the ground.
A man in black flew forward and hugged the body that was about to touch the ground, Gongsun Chuyue opened his eyes and looked up, and it was a handsome man who came into view.
Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a pair of shining eyes stared at her tightly, the eyes staring at her like a poisonous snake were numb in the bottom of their hearts, and the handsome man's facial features were full of anger.
Time seemed to stop at this moment, and everyone looked at the scene of the hero saving the beauty, and they didn't slow down, and even forgot the thrilling moment just now.
Gongsun Chuyue looked at the person in front of him, his frightened eyes were full of tears, Chu Chu was pitiful, the tears covered up, she couldn't see her eyes clearly, she was full of surprise, if someone else came to save her, it would be understandable, but this person was the prince eunuch.
In her impression, the eunuch did not compromise the means to achieve the goal, and the means were vicious and ruthless, and half of the people in the court were coerced by him to support him.
Well, I came to rescue him today, probably because of the name of the Gongsun family, after all, the Gongsun family is a major force in the court, and with the support of the Gongsun family, he is one step closer to the throne.
Gongsun Chuyue gently pushed away the big hand holding her waist, and said with a red face: "Thank you for the rescue, Gongsun Chuyue is grateful." ”
"Haha, I didn't expect Prince Ben to surprise Prince Ben when he first came, the young lady of the Gongsun family is really extraordinary." Si Eun looked at Gongsun Chuyue who was blushing in front of him, his eyes flashed dark, and he said with a hearty laugh, with an incomprehensible meaning in his words, and Gongsun Chuyue, who listened to it, felt cold in his heart.
"The sons see their father, the queen mother, the sons and daughters have been delayed for some things, and they can't arrive in time, and they ask their fathers to forgive their sins." Si Eun put down Gongsun Chuyue, strode forward and knelt on one knee, respectfully worshiped the emperor, his lowered head flashed a touch of cruelty, one day, the person in this highest position can only be him.
"Hehe, the feast has just begun, and the eunuch came in time." The emperor looked at the prince kneeling on the ground, and nodded with satisfaction, his son rarely let him worry about it.
With the arrival of the prince, the girls who have not left the pavilion all looked at the prince with affection, and their shy appearance could not be concealed, that is the prince, the future son of heaven, who can not be tempted.
Gongsun Chuyue reacted, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The emperor forgives the sin, the courtier, the courtier." Gongsun Chuyue deliberately stammered, and the sweat in his anxious head came out, dense, and under the illumination of the light, it was even more obvious.
"Well, people, it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes, and I don't blame you, I performed very well today, let's go down and rest." The emperor's tone was not abnormal, but a slight disappointment could be heard by anyone.
"The courtiers thank the emperor, and the courtiers will go down." Gongsun Chuyue hooked her head, her tone was nervous, her voice trembled slightly, listening to the emperor's slightly disappointed tone, she was greatly relieved, okay, okay.
Gongsun Chuyue knows the emperor's temperament very well, and it seems that he is holding a feast, but in fact, everyone knows that this feast is actually to choose the crown princess for the crown prince.
There is also a purpose to choose a concubine for himself, Si Tian loves beauties, and it is well known that the surrounding small countries will collect beauties to come to the emperor almost every year in order to reduce the tribute, well, look at the concubines around him to know how many beauties there are in this harem.
Gongsun Chuyue doesn't want to leave too much good impression on this emperor, and the person who is targeted by the wolf can't escape, at least with her current strength, it is the life of being slaughtered.
Gongsun Chuyue found that since the prince came in, Lin Ran's gaze had never left the prince, a trace of shyness flashed in his cold eyes, and he really couldn't notice it if he didn't look carefully, well, this is interesting, Gongsun Chuyue lowered his head and smiled, and his wide sleeves covered her expression.
It's a pity that all this fell into the eyes of another man, he saw everything clearly, this Gongsun Chuyue obviously deliberately tore off the ribbon, at this time, seeing the smile that Gongsun Chuyue couldn't hide, a trace of playfulness flashed in his eyes.
Everyone squeezed their heads to fight for the holy favor, but she retreated, avoiding the holy favor like a poisonous snake and beast, well, he found a fun person.
This person is the man who appeared in the peach blossom forest that day, Si Yinjue, but he didn't recognize that the woman in front of him was the woman in the peach blossom forest that day, after all, the temperament of the whole body has changed too much, and the makeup of Gongsun Chuyue today is too strong.
Si Yin was definitely not favored by the emperor, so he was arranged in the corner, and the pitch black could not really see his face, and he could vaguely see that his complexion was white and frightening, his body was weak, and from time to time there was a cough, and his voice was weak and desolate.
Gongsun Chuyue felt that someone was watching her, she turned back suddenly, but she didn't find anything, she frowned in confusion, turned her head, I don't know if it was her illusion, she always felt as if someone was spying on her recently, but in a blink of an eye, it was gone.
Si Yinjue looked at the fiancée given to him by the emperor in front of him, as if he was not so repulsed in his heart, he muttered to himself: "Gongsun Chuyue? It's really interesting. ”
