Chapter 53
Then, Meishuang gently beckoned and motioned for Gonggong Li to come over.
Gonggong Li didn't know why, so he leaned forward suspiciously, and then Meishuang gently lifted the corner of the mask, and the angle was just right for Gonggong Li to see the content under the mask.
When Gonggong Li carefully inspected, the concubines behind Xiao Luo also looked at this side with wide eyes curiously.
First, they wanted to know why the woman was wearing a mask.
Second, they want to know who this woman really is.
Queen Meiru's face was calm, but her heart was like a pot. She squinted her eyes slightly, and tacitly glanced at Concubine Chen beside her, but saw Concubine Chen looking at her meaningfully, and the meaning was obvious: What's the matter, I didn't tell a lie, right?
Mei Ru retracted her eyes and took a deep breath, it turned out that the emperor was delayed in leaving, and she was waiting for her!
After successfully seeing Gonggong Li's eyes wide open in horror by the content under the mask, Mei Shuang smiled secretly in her heart.
Gonggong Li then leaned on Xiao Luo's ear and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of red bumps are on this face, it's really unsightly." ”
Although Gonggong Li's voice was very small, it was still heard by the concubines with sharp ears behind Xiao Luo, and some of them exchanged glances, it turned out that she was really an ugly girl.
This is strange, since she is such an ugly girl, why does the emperor still have to take it with him?
The concubines were full of doubts, but they all tried their best to restrain their curiosity, and only listened to the emperor say coldly, "Go to the Jokhang Temple." ”
"Let's go!"
- Mei Shuang thought that this dignity under her mask would make Xiao Luo feel disgusted, and decisively used this dignity to disrespect the prayer puja and strictly affect the effect of the blessing to keep her in the palace, so that she would not suffer in vain, and save a lot of trouble in the future.
After all, it is really difficult to show up with the "halo" of the abolished queen, and it is really a bit self-conscious, so it is best not to get along with everyone before him. Think about it, what does it mean for you to follow the dignified emperor and queen after a deposed queen? In addition to showing the dignity of Queen Meiru and her own downfall, I really don't know if it has anything to do with this blessing festival.
Since Xiao Luo didn't say that she wouldn't go, she had to go.
So, when Meishuang, who was all slumped, found that all the people got into the carriage and left in turn, what she saw was the last carriage in front of her.
Just about to get into the carriage, I heard a low shout from the carriage, "Bold, this is Yi Jieyu's carriage, hurry down." ”
Meishuang came to her senses, raised her eyes, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and a round-faced maid stuck out her head and shouted at the nondescript Meishuang.
As soon as the words fell, a gentle voice came from the carriage, "Qin'er, let her come up"
The round-faced maid was a little reluctant, and she couldn't resist her master's words, so she could only mumble, "The carriage in front has gone far, and now there are more people, won't they be able to keep up."
"Thank you." Mei Shuang couldn't be polite anymore, and hurriedly jumped into the car, after all, it would be inappropriate if she was too far away from the carriage in front of her.
Xiao Luo knew that Meishuang had successfully boarded the last carriage, so he ignored it.
Empress Meiru sat upright beside him, her hands on the long skirt without a trace of wrinkles, and the corners of her lips were as good as ever. Dressed in a red palace suit, with a towering bun, although only a golden hairpin of the nine phoenixes and the rising sun was inserted, but with the shaking of the carriage, a golden streamer was drawn out in a trembling manner, simple but not losing the atmosphere.
In front of him, there will always be such a graceful and luxurious posture. It's just that isn't it tiring to sit like this? In his mind, he thought of the woman who bumped into him while walking, and now he came up with such an idea, wearing a mask to deal with his errands, smart enough, the corners of his lips unconsciously curled, this woman, is really getting more and more interesting.
Xiao Luo glanced sideways at Mei Ru, glanced at her right arm, and suddenly asked, "How is Mei Xiang?" ”
Mei Ru was thinking about what was on her mind, and when she heard it, she was slightly stunned, and then responded, "Emperor Xie is worried, my father should be very good."
"Well," Xiao Luo said casually, "Mei Xiang caught a cold a few days ago, and he still has some coughs, and he hasn't been to the morning court for a few days. ”
Mei Ru came to her senses and said anxiously, "Is my father's body in trouble?" ”
"Today's prayer for the Queen Mother is over, and I will allow you to go back to visit."
Mei Ru looked at the emperor in surprise, she was only the queen, but she was allowed to save her relatives, what an honor this is! Immediately full of gratitude. In fact, such an imperial grace is really rare. Although it is rumored in the palace that the emperor and queen are not harmonious, until now, the emperor has never been fortunate to her, but it is worth it to have such glory.
Besides, at this very moment, this sudden grace is really God help me!
Because of this special glory, Mei Ru was powdered all the way, while Xiao Luo's gaze only swept lightly over her right arm.
This queen is obviously not as good as she seems, just gentle and virtuous.
He picked up the cup in front of him and was about to pour the wine himself, but he saw that Mei Ru had already started first, and her face was shy, "Concubine Rong pours wine for the emperor." ”
Xiao Luo didn't refuse.
Although the carriage was bumpy, it did not affect Meiru's pouring of wine at all, and both the posture and the technique were steady and moderate.
I saw that the amber liquor was poured into Xiao Luo's wine glass in a graceful arc, and the wine was poured extremely evenly.
Suddenly, the carriage jolted, and almost at the same time, Mei Ru's left hand was next to the bottom of the cup in Xiao Luo's hand, and with just one touch, the cup was firmly fixed, and the wine to be spilled only returned to the cup after a circle above the cup, and returned to calm after shaking the wall of the cup a few times.
Mei Ru smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please"
Xiao Luo nodded and drank all the wine in his hand, "Queen, good kung fu." ”
Mei Ru was stunned for a moment, then retracted her hand, and there was obviously a sneer in her smile, "No, nothing"
-- In the last carriage of the team, the space for four people was already a little cramped because of the extra Meishuang.
Mei Shuang and the two maids huddled together, and sitting opposite was Yi Jieyu, who had just called her to get into the car.
When she saw Yi Jieyu for the first time, Meishuang was suddenly shocked.
The flawless face is fair and delicate, especially the light purple dress with auspicious cloud patterns, which makes her eyebrows more picturesque. In my impression, few people can wear purple so extraordinary, but Yi Jieyu in front of her is indeed wearing the ultimate charm of purple.
This emperor Xiao Luo is indeed a beautiful blessing.
Yi Jieyu also looked at Mei Shuang, the moon-white dress and silver mask were all plain. This is a rare color in the harem that loves luxury, but this kind of plain color that the concubines don't like seems to match the slender woman in front of her, and there is still some mystery in the ethereal.
Naturally, it is reasonable for the emperor and other people to be more mysterious.
Yi Jieyu retracted her gaze and began to look through the books in her hand.
Mei Shuang sat at an angle that could just see the content of the book, and it took a lot of eyes to see the book in vertical layout, but after Mei Shuang glanced at it, Huo Ran was shocked, and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Yi Jieyu.
The long eyelashes like a row of fans drooped slightly, revealing a faint shadow under the eyes, the expression was focused, the snow-white neck, the curvature was beautiful, the golden tassels on the bun swayed gently with the shaking of the carriage, and the fingers like green onions gently turned the pages of the book, like no man's land.
Sitting was boring anyway, so Meishuang simply stretched her neck to read the contents of the book carefully.
The slight jolting of the carriage was very comfortable, and although the maids sat upright, they were faintly sleepy. Perhaps it was Meishuang's concentration that caught Yi Jieyu's attention, she raised her head from the book, smiled and asked Meishuang, "Do you also like to read?" ”
Meishuang nodded.
"Hehe, I'm tired of watching it anyway, so I'll let you take a look." Yi Jieyu generously handed the book to Mei Shuang.
Mei Shuang hesitated for a moment, and said in her heart that the woman in this harem is really not a mortal, and she actually knows foreign languages.
Of course, the content of the book was still very attractive to her, because she had just seen a very important narrative.
The book is written in the Donglai Chinese language, and many of the characters are close to Chinese characters, and even if there are occasionally some characters that are strangely written, the meaning can be deduced from the context. The book focuses on the customs and customs of the eastern part of the Great Qin Kingdom, that is, after the ocean was crossed, such as how many small countries were scattered on this island country, rich in rice and iron tools, and there were frequent wars between tribes.
Meishuang looked at the front of the book, there was no title, and the font in the book should have been copied by hand if you looked closely.
She asked, "Is this Yi Jieyu's character?" ”
Just when Meishuang was seriously studying the content of the book, Yi Jieyu's eyes never left Meishuang's face. Because the mask covered most of her face, only her eyes and chin could be seen.
The eyes are like black grapes, crystal clear, the chin is slightly pointed, fair and round, it can be imagined that the woman under this mask should not be ugly.
Hearing Meishuang's question, she retracted her thoughts, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and she said softly, "Yes, this is a concubine who copied according to the book, and she has not mentioned the pen for a long time, and she is a lot rusty."
Meishuang pointed to one of the passages and asked, "Can you please understand these words?" ”
Yi Jieyu looked at it and explained, "This is an ancient witchcraft, and the concubines don't know much about it, so let's take a look at it." It's not entirely a bad thing to know some remote knowledge. ”
She looked at Meishuang and was a little stunned, "Have you finished reading it?" So fast? ”
Mei Shuang smiled, "I'll ask casually, I don't know most of them, just look at some understandable Chinese characters to relieve boredom." ”
Before he could finish speaking, the carriage stopped.
Jokhang Temple arrived.
After getting out of the carriage, Mei Shuang found that the emperor had led the concubines and concubines to wait there.
After Yi Jieyu got off the train, she was led by the maid to her station.
Meishuang, on the other hand, didn't know where to stretch her feet in full view.
Under Xiao Luo's cold gaze, she could only step forward stubbornly, ready to ask herself what to do.
In just a few dozen steps, she suddenly felt like she was walking on the catwalk, the difference was that the concubines' various eyes were not appreciating her performance, but all kinds of complex intertwined and entangled, like an impenetrable net, covering her breathlessly.
For a moment, Mei Shuang felt a surge of anger in her heart.
You asked me to pray for blessings, and you didn't give me an identity or tell me what to do, so you let me appear in front of the public so abruptly, causing all kinds of groundless speculation, didn't you make me take the initiative to embarrass myself?
Naturally, this is all the resentment in my heart, and I still walked towards the emperor with a cold expression with a steady step, and when I was about to get to the front, an accident happened.
