Chapter 186
The Empress Dowager Ming lowered her eyes and looked at the green tea in the white jade bowl in her hand, the pieces were rolled, green as jade, but after entering the palace for so long, this concubine with the highest rank didn't even know her own preferences, so it was no wonder that she couldn't guess the holy will.
The Empress Dowager Ming then handed the tea bowl in her hand to Aunt Yu, who couldn't help but look sideways when she saw the Queen Mother's expression.
When the Empress Dowager Ming spoke, her tone was also imperceptibly stiff, "Concubine Chen, don't kneel on a hot day, the mourning family wants to take a walk, you go back." ”
Concubine Chen, who was originally waiting for the queen mother's praise, stiffened after hearing this, and the queen mother not only didn't even say a word about the snow top with green tea that she had worked so hard to brew, but also didn't say anything about letting herself accompany her when she walked, indicating that she didn't want to wait in front of her.
Concubine Chen was sad inside, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, but in her heart she was resentful and bought a maid who was waiting in front of that fox girl, didn't Nima's hooves say that the fox surnamed Lin handed this tea to the Queen Mother before?
After Concubine Chen left full of grievances, Aunt Yu said, "Doesn't the Queen Mother like to drink this kind of tea?" ”
Empress Dowager Ming said disapprehantly, "The mourning family always feels that there seems to be something missing in this tea."
Aunt Yu chuckled, "Actually, Concubine Chen's green tea looks fresh, but today, the Queen Mother is in a different mood." ”
Empress Dowager Ming was slightly stunned, "Really?" Alas, since a few days ago, for Chu Xiruo's business, I haven't seen him for some days, and I haven't seen him come to ask for peace these days, he must be holding a grudge against his family."
Aunt Yu comforted, "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and he must be busy with government these days. The slave heard that the emperor doesn't seem to be in the palace these days."
"Not in the palace? Where did it go? Empress Dowager Ming said curiously, "Go to find Chu Xiruo or Frost?" ”
Aunt Yu replied with a little thought while supporting the Empress Dowager Ming, "Empress Dowager, allow the slave maid to say something out of bounds." The emperor himself knows best. Whether it is to find Miss Ruo or Miss Shuang, the emperor still has a thought in his heart, which is the most important thing. ”
Empress Dowager Ming nodded after being slightly stunned, thinking deeply.
"Actually, the slave maid thinks that the emperor is such an arrogant person, he must think that the relationship between this man and woman must be willing, didn't the emperor say it? is unwilling to force anyone, that is to say, the emperor has a heart, but he is just waiting for the other party to nod. ”
When the Empress Dowager Ming heard this, she suddenly opened her mouth, "Sure enough, it's such a reason, go on." ”
Aunt Yu pursed her lips and smiled, "If this person is a girl, but the emperor went to see her early in the morning, why didn't there be a follow-up?" Therefore, the slave guessed that this person must be Miss Shuang Today's Miss Shuang is not as good as before, probably because she has little confidence in the emperor and doesn't dare to respond, otherwise where would she tell the emperor about Chu Xiruo's hiding place? Obviously it is to fulfill the emperor and Chu Xiruo, maybe she is also testing the emperor The queen mother is going to do it, I'm afraid I have to do the work of Miss Shuang."
Empress Dowager Ming's frowning brows suddenly relaxed, and she sighed, "It's said that bystanders are clear, Jinyu, when you say this, the mourning family thinks that this frost is a complete slippery head." Hehehe"
- Mei Shuang heard the little nun's words and walked down the mountain quickly, and asked the little nun what was going on along the way, but the little nun smiled silently, which made Mei Shuang wonder.
It wasn't until the gate of the temple that a big magpie flew to the treetops with a cheerful cry, and the little nun smiled and said, "Donor, look, this is a joy to look up." ”
Mei Shuang looked at the little nun's little broken rice teeth, and couldn't help but wonder, "Hehe, we both saw it at the same time, and we were happy."
The little nun pursed her lips and pushed open the courtyard door, and said mischievously, "Please." ”
Mei Shuang entered the door and saw the abbot standing in the courtyard, as if waiting for her to return.
Seeing Meishuang, the abbot greeted, "Coming back?" Come in, someone wants to see you"
Meishuang secretly wondered, could it be the princess who said goodbye last time, and this time she thought it clearly so she came to see her?
Coming to the door, the abbot said, "You go in."
When I entered the door, I saw Yi with his back to the door, with a long body and a brocade robe and soap boots.
Meishuang was stunned for a moment, and then wailed in her heart, I'll go, this is completely unprepared.
She was the first to react after a beat in her heart, and before she could cross the threshold, she heard a deep voice from the room, "Where are you going?" ”
These three words are like fixation, which immediately made Meishuang's foot out of the threshold stay in place.
Her body froze and her mind was a little blank and a little drowsy, and Nima just looked up to see joy, which was obviously frightened when she entered the door!
"Are you going to just stand there like that?" Later, Mei Shuang finally came to her senses, lowered her eyes, one foot inside and one foot outside, and her posture was indeed indecent.
She turned around in embarrassment, squeezed out a smile on her face that was more ugly than crying, and bent down to salute, "Emperor, Emperor, you, why are you here?" ”
Xiao Luo took a step forward, held Mei Shuang, who was soft and almost fell to the ground under her feet, in time, and helped her up.
Close, a powerful manly breath mixed with the unique aroma of ambergris made the soul of Meishuang, who was still in a trance, quickly return to its place, she quickly broke free of Xiao Luo's hand as if she was burned, and tried her best to pretend to be calm, calm, she must be calm.
Xiao Luo was not angry, his dark eyes stared at the woman in front of him.
The simple clothes on the body can no longer be plain, there is no jewelry, the long hair is scattered over the shoulders like that, the face is as white as porcelain, the willow eyebrows are curved, the black and white eyes are distinct, the tip of the nose is small and slightly upturned, and the lips are like roses
Since she went to Qishan until now, I haven't seen her for more than a year.
Looking at her now, she doesn't seem to have changed, the only change is that she is a little thinner, so thin that her chin seems to be sharper, and her black and white eyes look at her, not as casual as before, and seem to be a little more vigilant.
Even so, the whole person still looks a little pitiful, just like in the prison before, she also looked at herself like this.
At this moment, Xiao Luo was in a trance, thinking of the suffering she suffered in the heavenly prison and the cold palace in front of her, coupled with Qi Shan's escape from death, he originally wanted to meet and teach her a hard lesson, but at the moment he was softened by this gaze, he took a deep breath and snorted coldly, "Are you guilty?" ”
Meishuang was speechless, but she was very disappreciative in her heart.
Depend on!
Seeing Meishuang standing not far away with her eyes down, pretending to be deaf and dumb and silent, how could she have any remorse in that look? Xiao Luo knew at a glance that she was not convinced.
Nima, she pretended to be overboard, but she actually wanted to escape the little trick she thought was seamless, thinking that if she could deceive the world, she would be able to deceive him?
He had long expected that her little thoughts, and it was indispensable to come back in exchange for freedom by leaving the palace, so he had already prepared the holy decree of the queen and announced it when she returned, that is, to cut it first and then play, so as not to refute it when she put forward her conditions. Sure enough, he really expected it, and in order to refuse his post-sealing decree, she actually came up with an ingenious trick to fall into the water and die.
The meaning is obvious, I can't escape death, can't I?
As soon as he thought of it, his eyes were full of sparks.
Nima really thought he was a fool, and every move she made for a year was under his control. He didn't bother her, just so that she could get lost and return, or be able to think of him when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, and figured out and took the initiative to come back.
I didn't expect her to be good, and when he heard Yunkong say that she was penniless and was about to starve to death and didn't ask for help, he was annoyed.
Good fellow, looking at the current environment, she would rather live with a group of nuns than face herself.
Heh, now that she has come to the door, she still looks reluctant, obviously telling herself that she has not reviewed her behavior at all, let alone actively admitting her mistakes.
Peeking at the dark eyes of the Ninety-Five Venerable in front of her, Mei Shuang knew that this man was angry. After all, he is the emperor and holds the world, if he doesn't see through his tricks, how can he come up and ask for guilt?
Well, I know you already know a qiē.
She stubbornly said in a low voice, "Emperor, Emperor, how did you know that this is here?" ”
But in my heart, I was wondering if it should be Chu Xiruo suing the emperor, right? Quite possibly.
She was reluctant to tell Xiao Luo of her whereabouts, and the guide was "better than nostalgic for seeing each other", so in order to take revenge on herself, she now told Xiao Luo of her whereabouts, so that she could punish herself.
She sighed, alas, this woman is a careful eye.
It's chilling to think about.
Suddenly, Meishuang suddenly thought, could it be that the emperor was actually looking for Chu Xiruo to find this place and happened to meet herself, right? It's entirely possible. Although Chu Xiruo said so much, how could the feelings of childhood sweethearts be scattered?
Mei Shuang was thinking wildly in her mind, but she didn't know that the Ninety-Five Venerable in front of her was looking at her with murderous eyes.
Nima! Listen, if you don't answer, you will ask a question!
Xiao Luo's eyes were dark, and the cold was overwhelming.
When Mei Shuang inadvertently met that gaze, a layer of hairy chestnuts appeared on her body for no reason.
I'll go! This gaze is really cool!
Instantly feeling that the temperature in this room had dropped below freezing, Mei Shuang simply justified herself, "Your Majesty, what is I, what am I guilty of?" ”
In other words, it was someone else, this word was really looking for death, even Gonggong Li who was outside was smacking his tongue when he heard it, and the abbot was even more surprised, worried, and said how this child could talk, and he didn't know how high his eyebrows and eyes were, and for a while he couldn't wait to go in and mention a few words to Meishuang, whose brain was too hot at the moment, and prayed with anxiety in his heart, this child, but he must not talk nonsense anymore, and offended the emperor.
The emperor didn't say anything inside, Gonggong Li was the person next to the emperor, and he knew that if the emperor remained silent, it would be a bad sign of a big thing.
He couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, this is bad, the emperor is angry.
