Chapter 35: Concubine Hui's thoughts
Shang Shuling was about to be squeezed crazy by the crowd that came to congratulate him.
The young eunuchs also toasted Xiao Tianyu one after another, and Lu Guling sat in his seat absentmindedly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xiao Tianyu whispered: "Gu Ling, look, there are so many handsome guys, do you have any favorites?" β
Lu Guling came back to his senses, glanced at the young man in front of him, and casually pointed out, "I feel that one is okay." β
The lucky man who was pointed out walked forward and saluted, "Greetings to Your Majesty, greetings to the princess." Minister Zeng Haoxuan, the son of the head of the household department, served as the secretary of the criminal department. β
Xiao Tianyu asked interestingly, "How old are you?" What are your hobbies? Can there be a concubine? β
Zeng Haoxuan replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the grass people are twenty-four this year, they are on vacation on weekdays, and they like to go on outings with three or five confidants, and there are only two maids in the courtyard who serve their daily lives. β
Xiao Tianyu looked at Lu Guling, "Gu Ling, what do you think?" β
Lu Guling whispered: "Your Majesty, I don't think it's good, there are only two maids serving him in his courtyard, and I doubt that he is still a man." β
Xiao Tianyu was puzzled: "Gu Ling, if I remember correctly, you don't seem to like those unclean men. β
Xiao Tianyu thought about it for a while, and also figured it out, maybe Lu Guling wanted to be younger, and there were no women in the family.
Xiao Tianyu coughed dryly a few times, "No more than twenty-two years old, and there is no one who has married a wife or concubine, and there is no one who has drunk flower wine, everyone else will go down!" Don't think about deceiving me, I still have some ears and eyes, people who deceive me, deceive princesses, you know. β
Now most of the children are gone, there are only about a dozen people left, these are young outstanding children, their fathers are all big officials in the court, even if they are not big, at least they are qualified to face the saint every day, these young people have a good father, they have a good education since childhood, and the future is promising.
The dozen or so people quickly introduced themselves.
Xiao Tianyu looked at Lu Guling expectantly, "Do you have a fancy for it?" It doesn't matter if you don't like it, feelings can be cultivated anyway, there are a lot of excellent good men in the world, and there is always one suitable for you. β
Lu Guling avoided Xiao Tianyu's gaze, "Your Majesty, I haven't thought about getting married so early. β
Xiao Tianyu waved his hand, and the dozen or so young people all went down, Xiao Tianyu said lightly: "Yes, no problem, this is your choice, I will respect your choice." It's just that you have to know that you are past the age suitable for marriage, and even with my escort, there will be fewer and fewer people you can choose. β
Lu Guling's eyes dimmed, "Your Majesty, you treat me so well, my father and mother don't ask me if I like it or not, and they control my life under the banner of being good for me." β
Xiao Tianyu is not surprised, she was also managed by her family in the previous world, how can she be so cool now, ordering hundreds of officials, everyone has to listen to her, every day is painful and happy.
"Gu Ling, don't think about these things so unhappy, you have to think about the good, if your father teaches you a lesson in the future, you will carry me out, what else does your father dare to say? As long as you don't do anything against the law, I will tolerate you. β
Lu Guling asked the question in his heart, "Your Majesty, why are you helping me so much?" Ever since I met you, it was you who helped me, from saving me at the hands of the ruffian to now giving me the title of princess, I can't imagine why I can get the favor of His Majesty. β
Xiao Tianyu played with the wine glass in his hand, "I don't know, I just think you seem to be very similar to (before) me, these are also what I can do, help you and help you, many times there are not so many whys, maybe this is fate!" β
Lu Guling thought to herself: Fate? This fate is really wonderful, the feeling of being a princess seems to be not bad, and I finally don't have to be scolded in the future!
Lu Guling regained his former agility, "Your Majesty, I want to go down and have a look, I didn't greet my mother when I came, she should be worried about me." β
Xiao Tianyu put down the wine glass, "I'll go with you." β
"No need! I'm good on my own. β
Xiao Tianyu glanced at Gu Yunlong, and Gu Yunlong thought, "Princess, the slave will accompany you to lie down!" The minions are afraid that the young talents below will flock to the princess when they see it, and the minions can still protect the princess! β
Lu Guling was amused, "Okay, trouble Father-in-law Gu." β
Lu Guling went down to find Shang Shuling, and Xiao Tianyu was the only one left at the top, some people wanted to toast, but they were persuaded to retreat by Shen Xingzhou, who was guarding below, and gradually everyone stopped toasting with Xiao Tianyu, and instead went to compliment Ning Concubine and Lu Guling.
The virtuous concubine also has a favored father and a favored sister, but it is not unattended, but compared with Ning Concubine, the virtuous concubine is a little lonely here.
Concubine Hui really has no one at the place, the Ministry of Rites has no power, and Concubine Hui herself is not fighting or grabbing now, and no one is willing to deal with Concubine Hui at all.
It can be said that the loneliest people in the audience now are Xiao Tianyu and Concubine Hui.
Xiao Tianyu sat at the top and looked down at the audience, all the things that happened in the hall couldn't escape her eyes, she saw a lot, and the officials began to slowly stand in groups of three and five in a party, this is an unconscious behavior, when there are many people, people will subconsciously find people who are good friends with them.
Xiao Tianyu is bored and eats vegetables, she is so bored now, she wants to go back to sleep, but if she leaves, this banquet will not be able to continue, everyone can slip away halfway, she can't, she is really depressed.
Shen Xingzhou saw that Xiao Tianyu didn't want to stay here, so he stepped forward and suggested, "Your Majesty, it's better for your subordinates to go out with you to breathe!" It's okay to leave for a while. β
Xiao Tianyu's eyes lit up, this proposal is good, if someone asks, he will say to go to the toilet.
Xiao Tianyu left, and many people saw it, but they didn't care, maybe it was because he went to the toilet.
However, it is to give those who have a heart an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Qi Tianyu saw Xiao Tianyu leaving, so he took a glass of wine, first went to toast with Concubine Ning, then toasted Concubine Xian, and finally walked in front of Concubine Hui.
A glint flashed in Concubine Hui's eyes, "Master National Teacher." β
Qi Tianyu calmly saluted Concubine Hui: "I've seen Concubine Hui." β
Concubine Hui helped her for a moment, "The national teacher doesn't have to be polite. β
Qi Tianyu said in a low voice: "Niangniang, wait a minute." β
Qi Tianyu pretended to be unsteady, "Niangniang, Weichen drank too much and was rude, please atone for your sins." The minister went out to sober up. β
Qi Tianyu's servant helped Qi Tianyu out of the side door.
Concubine Hui sat for a while, her heart was entangled, and finally she chose to stand up and choose to go out.
Xiao Tianyu and Shen Xingzhou were wandering around the main hall when they suddenly saw Concubine Hui's figure.
That is not the direction of going to the toilet, Xiao Tianyu smelled the smell of conspiracy, "Xingzhou, you go to follow Concubine Hui, you must hear who Concubine Hui will be with later, what she said, I will go back and sit first and make alibi evidence." β
Shen Xingzhou nodded: "Your Majesty, don't worry." β
Xiao Tianyu entered from the main entrance, which startled the people in the hall, in order to create alibi evidence, Xiao Tianyu also fought hard, but Xiao Tianyu would never admit that he was too bored and wanted to do something.
Wherever Xiao Tianyu passed, no one dared to speak, and the officials all looked at Xiao Tianyu in fear, in fact, Xiao Tianyu didn't hear anything, just looked at their eyes, and at a glance, he knew what he was talking about.
Xiao Tianyu walked up the steps and came to the second high platform, and then went up, it was her seat, it was really ...... I don't want to sit on it alone.
Xiao Hanmo stepped forward, "Your Majesty, where is the Shen guard?" β
Xiao Tianyu whispered: "The national teacher and Concubine Hui are gone. β
Xiao Hanmo was already clear at the moment, and saw Xiao Tianyu in a daze, followed Xiao Tianyu's gaze, and found that Xiao Tianyu was looking at the dragon chair on the top, "Your Majesty, aren't you going to do it?" β
Xiao Tianyu laughed at himself: "What's so good about sitting on it, it's boring to death, or a little more lively below." β
Xiao Hanmo said with a smile: "What Qi Tianyu can't ask for, but for Your Majesty, it is lighter than a feather, and I don't know how he will feel." β
Xiao Tianyu said casually: "I heard that you were also present when the first emperor died, it should be a pity, right?" β
Xiao Hanmo's face turned green, and he saluted, "The minister learned that His Majesty could inherit this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the minister was elated, and the minister also felt honored that he could assist His Majesty." β
Xiao Tianyu opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything, she was really just joking, and she didn't mean anything else. Xiao Tianyu only felt that his whole body was cold, from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, he walked up the steps step by step and sat back on the dragon chair, but found that Xiao Hanmo was still bent over.
Gu Yunlong paid attention to Xiao Tianyu, and was a little unsure whether to help Xiao Hanmo up, but in the end, he decided to take a gamble, and went down to help Xiao Hanmo, looking back at Xiao Tianyu's face unchanged, Gu Yunlong knew that he had made the right bet.
Shen Xingzhou is back.
Xiao Tianyu glanced at it, "If it's nothing, I'll go back and talk about it." β
Shen Xingzhou was a little anxious, "Your Majesty, I want to say it now." β
Gu Yunlong took a few steps back without leaving a trace, and his eyes were lowered below.
Shen Xingzhou said in a low voice: "Just now, the national teacher gave Concubine Hui two medicines, one is to give you to eat later, it is the medicine that makes you have a good impression of her, and the second medicine is poison, Your Majesty will die if you eat it three times, and the national teacher took the opportunity to coup d'Γ©tat." β
Xiao Tianyu had a plan in his heart, "Okay, let Qi Tianyu and Concubine Hui come!" β
It didn't take long for Concubine Hui to come back first, Xiao Tianyu was sharp-eyed, and found that the national teacher came back from the main gate, but he walked against the wall, and did not attract too many people's attention.
Concubine Hui is restless, she has never done anything bad before, but now that she is on the thief ship, she can't go back, she and Xiao Tianyu are not familiar with each other, how can she find an excuse to toast with Xiao Tianyu?
Xiao Tianyu looked at Concubine Hui for a long time without leaving a trace, and Concubine Hui seemed to be very anxious, thinking: Aren't you going to drug her? Why is there still no movement at all? Could it be that Concubine Hui's conscience found that she didn't plan to mess with Qi Tianyu?
