Chapter 566: Rumors and ridicule
Gongliang didn't speak, just smiled brightly at Helian Ying, that warm smile that could heal people's hearts, so sweet that any frozen heart melted for it.
Gongliang Ji'er snuggled in Helian Yingche's arms, hugged Helian Yingche tightly, and poured out his heart softly: "Zhu'er is not an insatiable person, as long as she can stay by the emperor's side, she is already the happiest person in the world!" Just like now, with the emperor's sincere favor, she is already very content. Don't dare to expect anything else. ”
Helian Yingche hugged the satisfied Gongliang Er, and said softly: "It is precisely because you are my woman that I want to give you the best." You will not be allowed to blaspheme anyone, including me. ”
"For the emperor, with the emperor's words, the emperor is already satisfied."
In the spring light, the eyes of the couples sweetened the amphibious swallows on the treetops outside the window.
Since Concubine Duan lost the favor of the Queen Mother, the entire harem has suddenly become a stage for Concubine Dan and Concubine Wan, who are also afraid of chaos in the world. The two are harmonious on the surface, but in private, they have their own thoughts and always want to move to each other.
Although Concubine Dan said that her status in the harem was higher than that of Concubine Wan, Concubine Dan increasingly discovered that the Queen Mother He Lanyan had begun to favor Concubine Wan. Because of this, Concubine Dan smiled and declared her sisters to Concubine Wan, but in private, she was more wary of Concubine Wan.
On this day, the pair of harem "sisters" who looked like each other saw that the spring was good, so they came out together to go out to the imperial garden to enjoy the spring scenery. I didn't expect the road to be narrow, but I met Gongliang Er, who sent ginseng soup back and passed through here.
Concubine Dan didn't want to pay attention to Gongliang Jie'er, and she had to talk to Gongliang Jie'er, but she suddenly thought of the message that her cousin, who was serving in the imperial court, ordered her cronies to bring to her today, and the message specifically mentioned the unbearable rumors about Gongliang Jie'er, so she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile evilly, and thought about it. I want to make fun of Gongliang and embellishment.
Concubine Dan whispered to the concubine beside her, "Yo! And voila! Isn't that Miss Gongliang?! It looks like he just came back from the Imperial Study. Anyway, you and I met, so let's go up and talk to her and say hello. ”
Concubine Wan didn't understand Concubine Dan's true intentions, but when she thought of taking the opportunity to ridicule Gongliang'er, her heart was also a little shaken, and she echoed: "Sister listens to my sister's arrangement!" ”
Gongliang Zhu'er was originally going back to Zichen Palace, which was different from the direction taken by Concubine Dan and Concubine Wan, but in order to ridicule Gongliang Jie'er, Concubine Dan deliberately took Concubine Wan around the bend and chased her all the way, pretending to be a coincidence.
Gongliang was walking, and before meeting, there were two concubines in palace costumes standing in the middle of the road blocking the road, and when they looked at it, they saw that it was Concubine Dan and Concubine Wan.
Gongliang stepped forward calmly and bowed slightly.
"Concubine Dan and Concubine Wan are walking in the imperial garden?" Gongliang was the first to ask with a smile.
Concubine Dan pretentiously raised her eyes to look at Gongliang Jiao'er, and responded in a strange manner: "Today's blue sky and warm spring breeze are rare. Concubine Wan and I were also lonely in the palace, so we went out for a walk. Unlike Miss Gongliang, she can often go in and out of the imperial study, and she is overwhelmed by the emperor's favor. ”
Concubine Dan's words were obviously mixed with strong jealousy.
Gongliang Zhu'er saw that Concubine Dan and Concubine Wan deliberately stayed here and stopped themselves, so she didn't want to entangle with her two and waste her tongue, so she smiled slightly and said, "Yes! If Concubine Dan and Concubine Wan have nothing else to do, the grass people will not bother the two mothers to enjoy the flowers and go out one step ahead. ”
"Don't be in a hurry! It's rare to meet you here. Why don't we sit down and talk? Wan Concubine spoke softly.
Concubine Dan said: "Miss Gongliang is in a bad mood now, and she wants to be quiet alone, and we can all understand it." After all, anyone who hears the unbearable rumors that describe their past will be angry for a while. What's more, it was precisely because of this incident that the emperor almost fell out with the queen mother and the courtiers, and if I was caught in the middle, I would be in a dilemma. ”
Concubine Dan deliberately hugged the pipa and half covered her face, said half a sentence, and left half a sentence.
Gongliang was originally determined to leave, and didn't want to get involved with Concubine Dan and Concubine Wan. Hearing Concubine Dan's words without a head or tail, and then thinking of Helian Yingche's apology to himself in the imperial study, Gongliang had to connect these two things together in confusion.
Gongliang turned around and said, "What unbearable rumors did Concubine Dan say, what did the emperor fall out with the queen mother and courtiers, what do you mean?" ”
The corners of Concubine Dan's mouth were slanted, and it could be seen that Gongliang Jie'er did not know about this matter. In his heart, he was even more proud, believing that his plan could hit Gongliang fiercely.
Concubine Dan pretended to have a surprised expression, opened her mouth wide, and asked in surprise, "You don't know yet, do you?!" Since you don't know, what ...... Then I still can't talk more. ”
Since this matter is related to Helian Yingche, Gongliang will not ignore it.
Gongliang asked Concubine Dan directly: "The grass people don't understand, what does Concubine Dan just said?!" ”
Concubine Dan saw that Gongliang Jie'er's question had been sufficient, which aroused Gongliang's suspicions, so she replied with a smile: "Since you have to ask, then I will tell you the truth." Do you know that in recent days, rumors have been circulating among the people in the imperial city that you are the concubine who was beaten into the cold palace by the emperor in the past and died violently. It is also rumored that you have been exiled to the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou and landed in the land of fireworks. Some people also say that when you were a slave and a maid in the palace of Annan in the past, you had an affair with Helian Yunjue, the king of Annan, and you are no longer a perfect body. It is said that the emperor wore a lush hat on the top of his head...... In short, it's all bad rumors! Concubine Wan and I don't know the truth, so naturally we won't believe that Miss Gongliang, the daughter of the Hou Mansion, will have anything to do with the former demon concubine Yun Wei'er. It must be the rumor of some boring person. After all, it is possible that Miss Gongliang and Concubine Ying have the same face, and it is possible to be mistaken. Just ......"
Concubine Dan said as she raised her eyes from time to time to see Gongliang'er's expression when she heard this. Concubine Dan saw that Gongliang'er's face gradually froze, and continued: "It's just that where can the people of the Imperial City tell the truth from the rumors, this rumor is spread to the hundreds, and it is widely known." came and went, and it reached the ears of the emperor, the queen mother and all the courtiers. No, at the time of the court this morning, the ministers reported this matter to the emperor, and jointly advised the emperor to draw a line with the unknown you, break off the relationship, and protect the emperor's reputation. For this reason, the emperor almost fell out with the courtiers on the spot, if it wasn't for the queen mother to mediate in the end, the emperor made concessions, I'm afraid it would be because of your relationship, causing an uproar in the court. ”
After listening to Concubine Dan's explanation, Gongliang Fu'er suddenly realized that Helian Yingche's helpless renegade was not caused by the current situation when Da Yan and Rouyi were about to go to war, but because of the rumors spread everywhere about him, and he had to be cautious, and even made concessions and compromises.
