Chapter 425: Revealing His True Face
At the request of the Queen Mother He Lanyan, Helian Yingche introduced everyone at the banquet to the Queen Mother He Lanyan.
Although Helian Fuling is the princess of Da Yan, after all, she is a woman disguised as a man and changed her identity to blend into the Yurong Guard Camp. Today, the emperor's brother held a banquet in the palace, and Helian Fuling naturally had to dress up to attend. It's just that, in order to hide people's eyes, Helian Fuling still wore a brocade robe this time, sat down in the audience, and appeared in front of everyone as Fuling's son.
The Queen Mother He Lanyan knew that Helian Fuling loved to join in the fun, and she appeared on the Qiong Banquet in disguise as a man, which was also in line with Helian Fuling's temperament. But when Helian Fuling got up and introduced himself as the son of Fuling of the Changshan Mansion in the northern part of the Great Yan, the Queen Mother He Lanyan frowned.
Helian Fuling has lived in the deep palace for a long time, except for the fief arranged by Emperor Helian Yingche to live in the fief before, the only time Helian Fuling went out of the palace was to go to the Yurong Guard Camp as the son of Fuling, and participated in the training of the Six Arts. The Empress Dowager He Lanyan naturally heard about what Helian Fuling did in the Imperial Rong Guard Camp, but what Helan Yan never expected was that the young and ignorant Helian Fuling would "report to his family" to everyone and lie that he was a person from the Changshan Mansion in Northern Xinjiang!
The ministers and princes present here have not heard of the name of Changshan Palace, and the new emperor Helian Yingche has not long been on the throne, and he does not know much about the fiefs of other countries. On top of the feast, only the two emperors were assisted, and the Queen Mother He Lanyan, who had gone through two dynasties, was quite sensitive to this.
Because, the Queen Mother He Lanyan knew that the north of Dayan was the territory of the Northern Underworld, and the place of the Northern Underworld Changshan Mountain, Helan Yan had heard spies mention it when she was young. Although it is not famous, it is here. Helian Fuling unintentionally inserted willows, and even lied that she was from the Changshan Palace, which made the Queen Mother He Lanyan, who had always maintained a politically sensitive and keen sense of smell, smell an unusual smell.
The Queen Mother He Lanyan frowned frequently, but Helian Fuling, who had always been innocent and large, did not notice the slight displeasure on the face of the Queen Mother He Lanyan. It's still talking and laughing.
Although Helan Yan was quite dissatisfied with Helian Fuling's "self-reporting home", Helian Fuling was also unintentional after all, and above today's feast, Helan Yan was not good at reprimanding and reminding, so she had to give up for the time being.
After the Empress Dowager He Lanyan listened to Helian Fuling's nonsense, she heard Qin Wuxian, Lan Yi'an, Mo Zijin, Gao Di and Mu Xingchen introduce themselves. Yu Lingjun was still young, his body had not fully recovered, and he was even more timid because of the numbness on his face, so he did not attend today's royal banquet.
The Queen Mother He Lanyan listened to the introductions of the sons, and just nodded with a slight smile. The look on his face was the same as usual.
The self-introduction of the seven protons finally came to the body of the "second son" of Pingxi Hou, who had a doubtful background and a mysterious identity.
Helian Yingche was afraid that Gongliang Jie'er's self-introduction would attract the attention and displeasure of the Queen Mother He Lanyan, so Qisheng wanted to personally open his mouth to introduce Gongliang Jie'er.
"Queen Mother, this is the second son of Pingxi Hou Gongliangao - Gongliang!" Helian Yingche was the first to introduce to the Queen Mother He Lanyan, who was sitting next to him.
Gongliang then got up and bowed.
The Queen Mother He Lanyan focused her burning gaze on Gongliang Hui'er's body, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and the smile on her face deepened a little, like an undercurrent under the calm sea, I don't know when it will be the undercurrent of the tide.
"You are the second son of Pingxi Hou Gongliangao?"
When Gongliang heard the Queen Mother's question, he had to reply: "It's the grass people." ”
"I heard that you are outstanding in appearance and have a good posture, raise your head and let the mourning family take a good look."
Gongliang didn't dare to disobey the queen mother's wishes, so she had to raise her head, but she still lowered her eyes, not wanting to meet the eyes of the queen mother who had met with her and had a holiday.
"What's the matter with the veil on your face?! Are you too beautiful to show your true face? ”
The Empress Dowager He Lanyan obviously heard about what happened in the Yurong Guard Camp, and knew that the red rash on Gongliang'er's face was caused by the poisoning of her cronies Imperial Doctor Jiang. But Helan Yan was still tempted in public, just wanting Gongliang to show her original form.
Helian Yingche smiled and explained to the Queen Mother He Lanyan: "Queen Mother, Gongliang was hit by the smallpox under Imperial Doctor Jiang before, although the rescue was timely and his life was saved, but his appearance was left with marks. Now that he is being actively treated, Gongliang wears a veil to show people and participate in the royal banquet, also so as not to affect everyone because of his appearance. ”
"Oh?! Since this is the case, the mourning family should take a closer look and care about the injury of the second son of Gongliang. After all, Imperial Physician Jiang was sent by the mourning family to the Imperial Rong Guard Camp to help diagnose and treat smallpox, but he didn't expect Imperial Physician Jiang to have bad intentions and secretly poisoned the second son of Gongliang with smallpox, causing 'him' to almost lose his life. In this matter, the mourning family is also responsible. Therefore, the mourning family wants to see the marks on the face of the second son of Gongliang, and also wants to express the concern of the mourning family. The emperor and the second son of Gongliang shouldn't mind, right? ”
Helan Yan's words were tactful, but her intentions were clear, she just wanted to make sure with her own eyes that the Gongliang Jie'er in front of her was the resurrected Concubine Yun Jie'er.
Helian Yingche thought that the Queen Mother He Lanyan was deliberately making trouble for Gongliang Jie'er on the spot, and wanted to make Gongliang Jie'er ugly and embarrassed. Helian Yingche was about to open his mouth to refuse the queen mother's difficult request for Gongliang Jie'er, but he heard Gongliang Jie'er in the audience answer: "The grass people are ugly, and the scars on their faces have not healed, but I am afraid that they will scare the queen mother and make the emperor and everyone uncomfortable." ”
The Queen Mother He Lanyan raised her eyebrows and smiled: "You can rest assured, the emperor understands the righteousness, and the mourning family is not a person who does not know how to understand." Though you show your true face, don't worry about it. ”
"Then the good ones will be ugly."
Helian Yingche originally thought that Gongliang Jie'er would politely refuse, but how did he know that Gongliang Jia'er actually rose to the challenge and confronted the Queen Mother He Lanyan, and directly took off the veil.
Lan Yi'an, Fu Yin and the others who were seated at the table were afraid that the scars on Gongliang'er's face had not healed, and they couldn't bear to look at each other. However, Su Yanqing, who was invited to attend on the side, raised her eyes and stared at the good man who had taken off the veil and revealed his true face, his eyes were full of pity, distress, admiration and encouragement.
Helian Yingche has always been alert and sensitive to matters related to Gongliang Ying'er, and the moment Gongliang Ying'er took off the veil, Helian Yingche's afterglow just swept to Su Yanqing, who was staring at Gongliang Er, and the complicated emotions in his eyes made Helian Yingche's heart swell with jealousy again.
Gongliang took off the veil, and his face was as white as frost and crystal clear, and there were no traces of pockmarks at all.
Even Gongliang was dressed as a man, which once again amazed everyone.
The Queen Mother He Lanyan looked at the beautiful woman in the audience, who looked exactly the same as Concubine Ying'er, and her eyes showed a look of surprise.
"Your face, has been fully restored?!" He Lanyan sighed in disbelief.
Helian Yingche on the stage and Su Yanqing and others on the stage were also surprised by the speed at which Gongliang'er's appearance recovered.
Gongliang replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, the scars on the grass people's faces have indeed recovered a lot, thank you for the Queen Mother's concern." ”
