Chapter 766: An Unexpected Show of Love
Shen Qiao'an didn't want to go, she didn't get an invitation, and she wasn't a native of Ye Qinguo, so she didn't have the slightest interest in these marriages.
But Qiao An thought about it, if she helped Qing Gongzi find the love of her life, maybe Qing Gongzi would not be so eager for her, so it would be better to give it a try.
The banquet has been going on for half an hour, and the queen mother urged the eunuch to find Qing Gongzi, who knew that the emperor was eating moon cakes on Shen Qiao'an's side.
But the eunuch didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only stand outside Qiao An's palace and wait, as soon as the emperor came out, the eunuch greeted him and told him the situation in a hurry.
After hearing this, Qing Gongzi sneered: "I'll go over and let those female cats keep to themselves." Hearing this, Qiao An couldn't help but laugh.
The Queen Mother thought that Qing Gongzi had arrived alone, but how did she know that Qing Gongzi had come with Qiao An, which couldn't help but make her angry, and suddenly a look of displeasure appeared on her face.
"Let the emperor come over." The Queen Mother approached the maid next to her and whispered, the maid went to invite, and Qing Gongzi was not in a hurry to go over.
"Brother Qing, are you here?" There was a vigorous greeting in his ears, Qing Gongzi and Qiao An looked over at the same time, and Lu Xuan got up from the first position on his right hand with a happy gaze.
But the joyful gaze soon fell like a spark, a look that only appears when the enemy is seen.
Her gaze sharpened again, staring at Joan, which was unfriendly.
"Lu Xuan?" Qing Gongzi and Lu Xuan have had several encounters, and these meetings were actually arranged by Lu Xuan Haosheng for herself, as for Qing Gongzi, she has almost forgotten her name to Java.
"Yes, Brother Qing." Lu Xuan's eyebrows danced, she couldn't imagine that the emperor would still remember her name.
Qiao An felt bored, she hated such a delicate girl, she admired girls with distinct personalities, such as those red ladies in Jiang Guo, independent and proud, not flattering, not arrogant.
But what about this girl, her focused eyes were full of pleading and flattery, and the "Brother Qing" called out, which sounded almost the same as "Brother Love" to others.
Sure enough, Shen Qiaoan heard a few small insults in the crowd, and a woman said: "It's really unreasonable, I think I'm amazing." ”
Another woman was also scathing: "I'm afraid I've already climbed onto the dragon bed, I really don't know how such a good thing got into the eyes of the emperor." ”
"Humph!" A woman snorted coldly.
Their voices were neither high nor low just when Shen Qiaoan heard them, she thought, I was afraid that even the parties must have heard it, but she turned her eyes to look at the girl opposite, but Lu Xuan looked indifferent, completely ignoring the broken mouths of this group of women.
"Brother Qing, sit down." The woman pointed to the opposite side, today's banquet is the meaning of the Queen Mother, so the seat of the guest of honor sits the Queen Mother, she is in a condescending position, and she can see everything.
Qiao An looked up at the Queen Mother, and found that the Queen Mother was also staring at herself, but those old eyes made people shudder, she seemed to have regarded Shen Qiaoan as an enemy.
But Joan herself was a little depressed, what did she do wrong? Or that she did something bad and let herself become the target of public criticism.
"I am the emperor." The person next to him suddenly said this, this sentence was undoubtedly reminding Lu Xuan, and Lu Xuan smiled awkwardly, but he was also very quick to adapt to the situation.
"The little girl saw that the emperor was kind, and she got carried away for a while, so naturally it was the fault of the concubine, and the concubine gave you a salute to the emperor." As he spoke, Lu Xuan knelt in front of Qing Gongzi.
Lu Xuan's performance, Qing Gongzi was quite satisfied, and asked with a smile, "It's really a narrow river, people are in a hurry, get up, just find a place to sit down." ”
When Lu Xuan heard this, her face turned pale.
She has often gone to the Empress Dowager Yun recently, she has done her best to express herself, as for the Empress Dowager Yun, she has also regarded Lu Xuan as his queen, she is the best choice for the appointment, why is everything messed up as soon as Gongzi Qing comes?
"The emperor said that the concubines should find a place to sit down?" Lu Xuan suspected that she had misheard, and dared to repeat.
"Or else?" Qing Gongzi smiled indifferently, already held Shen Qiao'an's hand, and pulled Qiao An to Lu Xuan's position just now.
The positions are divided according to the left man and the right woman, but in fact, there are no other people in the men's column except for Qing Gongzi, and the back is empty.
But the women's column is completely different, there are more women in the homes of those dignitaries and nobles in Zhongjing, most of them have been carefully selected by the Queen Mother, this group of people is in a position, it can be said that they have broken their heads, but who knows that Shen Qiao'an, who is a newcomer, actually jumped in front of them.
Seeing Lu Xuan retreating, he actually sat in the last and last position, and some people were upset for Lu Xuan.
"Sister Xuanxuan, it's really bad luck to come to such a dead star." The girl's name is Liu Lingyu, she is the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, she has long wanted to be the wife of Qing Gongzi, even if it is a concubine, it is better than marrying casually, so as soon as Empress Dowager Yun spoke, she immediately dressed up neatly.
"Sister Xuanxuan, just cry out if you are wronged, it's not good to hold it after all." The penultimate girl is called Wang Yan, and she sneered.
Lu Xuan gritted her teeth, looked extremely indifferent, and ignored them.
"Seriously, let her be the queen, according to us, it's not as good as you, as long as you promise to be the queen in the future, you will take care of us more and don't embarrass us," Liu Lingyu smiled weirdly, and his palm covered the back of Xuanxuan's hand: "We'll help you squeeze her today." ”
"The mud is big, and it's easy for everyone," Wang Yan interjected: "You can't do anything to her alone, but the strength of all of us is completely different." ”
Several people exchanged sly glances and smiled secretly, Lu Xuan saw that Qing Gongzi was very good to Shen Qiaoan, and naturally his heart was on fire.
"You can rest assured," Lu Xuan seemed calm, but in fact she was not far from collapse, "In time, I will become a queen, and you are still good sisters!" We'd better deal with her first, or the queen will be spent on someone else's family. ”
"As long as Sister Xuanxuan has this sentence, we will also have a target." Liu Lingyu smiled knowingly and exchanged glances with the other girls.
Don't look at these girls today is the first time to meet, but it's strange that they have already been clustered, who is with whom, who is determined not to talk to whom, their hearts are clear.
"The mourning family came to you today, you should know what the purpose is, what did you bring Shen Qiaoan for?" Empress Dowager Yun was not happy when she saw Shen Qiao's head.
Thinking that Shen Qiao'an was going to open her head, he hated Qiao An even more, and Shen Qiao'an naturally knew what Empress Dowager Yun thought, so he also threw Empress Dowager Yun a look of dismay.
"What is the purpose of the queen mother to let her son-in-law come, the son-in-law naturally knows it, but the son-in-law brought Qiao An over," Qing Gongzi grabbed Shen Qiao'an's hand, "Doesn't the queen mother understand?" ”
"If there really is a person in charge of the house in this harem," Qing Gongzi ignored Shen Qiao'an's struggles and held her hand tightly, "Then it must be Shen Qiao'an, who is more powerful than Shen Qiao'an among these girls you found for me?" ”
"Your Majesty, the mourning family arranged this banquet for your own good, but I hope you can seriously consider it, Shen Qiao'an is not suitable for you." Empress Dowager Yun glared at Qiao An angrily.
Qiao An finally struggled and stood up to leave, but at this moment, Qing Gongzi stepped on Qiao An's feet, which was clearly reminding her not to act rashly.
Qiao An is a smart person, so he naturally knows what Qing Gongzi means, so he can only sit down in discouragement.
"Shen Qiaoan, you are Li Zhongxuan's imperial concubine, this person is well known, you won't shamelessly entangle the emperor, right?" Empress Dowager Yun was ready to implicitly and tactfully resolve the contradiction with Qiao An.
But she soon found out that Qing Gongzi's love for Shen Qiaoan had fallen deeper and deeper, and at this moment, if she was a mother, she was afraid that she would be terrible.
"Queen Mother!" Qing Gongzi stared at the Empress Dowager Yun unhappily, and the Empress Dowager Yun frowned and didn't say a word.
But she threw her eyes at the group of women behind Qiao An, and Liu Lingyu stood up bravely, "The emperor actually wants Shen Qiaoan to be the queen, and we are also convinced, but this Shen Qiao'an also needs to find Qin Tianjian to come over and calculate, isn't it Qiao An's sister's life?" Whoever comes near her seems to have a bad life. ”
"Chen Huaiyi before, as well as Mu Chenxuan, the emperor, don't forget the past." Liu Lingyu wanted to use the "bloody" lesson to remind Qing Gongzi.
"This dish is given to Miss Liu." Qing Gongzi pointed to a plate of fish lips in front of him, which was naturally a pun, suggesting that Liu Lingyu should not say "stupid" words, once she said it, her mouth would be like fish lips.
Liu Lingyu's hands trembled suddenly, his face was pale, and he didn't dare to say a word.
"I heard that Miss Qiao An is from Zhongjing, and the girl has been with Li Zhongxuan for many years, but there is no one who is one man and half a woman?" This woman is hinting at Qing Gongzi that Shen Qiaoan is not fertile at all.
In fact, it is not nothing, in the nine years of living with Li Zhongxuan, Qiao An was pregnant twice, once when she had just married to the palace, but the child was stillborn, and there were more conspiracies in the imperial city, and everyone's calculations were unguardable.
Joan back then was too simple.
The second time was three years ago, Joan had a miscarriage.
At this moment, hearing this, Shen Qiaoan clenched his fists, which was obviously pouring salt on his wounds, "Miss Wang?" I also want to reward you with a dish, just this fish, there are so many chopped peppers in it. ”
Superfluous!
A eunuch looked at Qing Gongzi, Qing Gongzi pursed his lips and smiled slightly, the eunuch immediately saw that the fish plate was sent over, and Wang Yan didn't dare to speak.
The Queen Mother saw this and said: "Since you are here, eat with us, although you are from Zhongjing, we will not favor one over the other, but you must also know your identity, you are a proton after all, what should be done, what should not be said, you must understand in your heart." ”
"People are self-aware." Qiao An smiled and looked at the Queen Mother.
That Empress Dowager Yun was not a royal prince in the first place, she was only the queen mother because of Qing Gongzi, at this moment Qiao An did not point to Sang and scolded Huai, but the sentence "self-knowledge" is clearly reminding Empress Dowager Yun, you can save it, you first figure out what kind of face you are and then count me down.
Sure enough, Empress Dowager Yun's face was not good-looking.
Joan didn't want to discuss it with this group of people with long hair and short knowledge, so she ate with chopsticks in her hands, and left after eating to count.
But it is clear that everyone is not attached to her.
"I heard that Miss Shen's parents died, and even her brother and brother died? It's really miserable and miserable, and I heard that Li Zhongxuan killed your family, we are all at a loss for this allusion, I saw you today, why don't you please tell me? ”
It was Lu Xuan who asked the question, Lu Xuan had already done her homework, she knew where Qiao An's weakness was, and she knew what kind of words could make Shen Qiao An collapse with just one sentence.
