Chapter 318: Encounter with the Emperor
Luo Shuangyi saw that the atmosphere at the scene became gradually subtle because of the appearance of the two of them, and now the spearhead was not himself, so he was completely relieved at this time.
Xie Yuxuan walked to the Queen Mother's side and whispered: "The Queen Mother still feels sorry for me." ”
Luo Yingxue's face had a touch of coldness, when the Queen Mother used herself as a pawn, she also smiled at herself like this, Xie Yuxuan would sooner or later follow her old path.
Just like the current self, when there is no value left, it is left aside and completely ignored.
Several of them still greeted each other with a fake greeting.
The Queen Mother suddenly spoke: "Since you are all here, you might as well stay for dinner." ”
Luo Shuangyi already had a headache about when she could leave, and now the Queen Mother proposed to eat, which undoubtedly made the time longer, so she had to say: "Thank you for the Queen Mother's kindness, but I have been feeling a little unwell recently, and if I eat with you, I am afraid it will disturb your elegance." ”
After that, Luo Shuangyi coughed lightly, her body has indeed been unsafe recently, and now it can be used as an excuse.
Luo Yingxue also immediately said: "We have prepared the carriage and are ready to go to the summer resort, if it is late, I am afraid that it will be late at night to arrive, today's lunch, I am afraid that the prince and I will not be able to lose weight, and I also ask the princess to dine with the queen mother on our behalf." ”
The Queen Mother was displeased, sank her face, and then waved her hand: "That's it, young people, they don't want to stay with the old body of the mourning family." ”
The corners of Xie Yuxuan's mouth rose, and then he stood beside the Queen Mother, gently slapped her shoulder, and said softly: "Queen Mother, although I have some things to do, but accompanying the Queen Mother is the most important thing, so I should stay here with you." ”
This is an opportunity to curry favor, Xie Yuxuan will naturally not let it go, even if Luo Yingxue is favored by the prince, once she has the queen mother as a backer, all problems can be easily solved.
"It's better to be sensible, but after talking for a while, the mourning family also feels tired, so it's better to skip the meal, you can step down."
The Queen Mother first praised her, and then said that she was tired.
Xie Yuxuan smiled awkwardly, it seems that the Queen Mother just said that she was eating, this drunken and warm intention is not in wine, and the person she wants to stay is not herself.
Luo Yingxue was very happy in her heart, looking at Xie Yuxuan's situation, she couldn't help but smile.
After a few people retreated, Luo Shuangyi stood at the door, faced the three of them, and said with a smile: "You are going to the Shizi Mansion, since you are on the same road, then I can leave the palace by myself." ”
In addition to not wanting to go with them, Luo Shuangyi also has another purpose, that is, to let the three of them go home together, which can make Luo Yingxue and Xie Yuxuan feel uncomfortable at the same time.
Luo Shuangyi originally wanted to be a person who didn't fight or grab, but the two of them repeatedly challenged their bottom line.
Fang Cai's words have made it difficult for the three of them to ride the tiger, Luo Yingxue originally planned to leave here with the prince, and Xie Yuxuan didn't want to be bored, but now in front of Luo Shuangyi, he didn't know how to excuse himself.
After that, Luo Shuangyi left the queen mother's bedroom alone.
Sitting on the sedan chair, Luo Shuangyi lifted the curtain and looked out carefully, every time he entered the palace, he was frightened step by step, and he had never seriously observed the scenery in the palace.
What caught his eye was a spectacular rockery, and Luo Shuangyi relied on the description in his mouth to roughly speculate that he was passing through the imperial garden at this time.
"Stop the car."
Luo Shuangyi called softly, and the sedan chair stopped.
She looked at the scenery here, and couldn't help sighing, in this deep palace, there is actually such a scene, pink butterflies fluttering flowers, small bridges and flowing water, and palace maids walking here in twos and threes, and most of them are young figures.
"This imperial garden is not far from the palace gate, you go back first, and I'll leave by myself later."
Luo Shuangyi rarely had such elegance, and wanted to stay for a while, so he simply broke these people away.
The palanquin man turned back, Luo Shuangyi followed the sound of the water to find the past, in the distance is a small pavilion with ancient style, walking on the bluestone road, the pavilion can be seen from afar the panoramic view of the imperial garden.
There was a chessboard in the middle of the pavilion, and a guqin was placed horizontally, Luo Shuangyi sat in front of the guqin, put his hands up naturally, and plucked it twice at will.
"This is the daughter of Luofu?"
A loud voice sounded behind Luo Shuangyi, she was so frightened that she got up and looked back, and saw the emperor standing outside the pavilion wearing a yellow robe.
Luo Shuangyi took a deep breath and calmed himself down, if he could have thought that he would meet the emperor in this place, even if he was extremely curious about this imperial garden, he would not come.
Now he can only bow hard, and then say with a smile: "Back to the emperor, the people's daughter Luo Shuangyi." ”
After that, Luo Shuangyi hurriedly got up and retreated from the pavilion, and then continued: "The maiden didn't know that the emperor was here, and she disturbed the elegance of the emperor's view, so she retired first. ”
"Stay, I just heard you pluck the strings, soft and powerful, and I heard that the name of the first talented woman in Beijing this year is what you obtained, why don't you play a song for me??"
The emperor showed great interest in Luo Shuangyi, he had never taken a serious look at this young lady of Luofu before, and he had heard the queen mother mention this person several times recently.
After Luo Shuangyi was stunned for a moment, he replied solemnly: "The people's daughter won the championship that day, but it was just because of luck, I am not proficient in the guqin, so it's better not to disturb the emperor's purity." ”
Luo Shuangyi was bent on escaping from the current embarrassing situation, and the emperor didn't know if it was intentional, but he wanted to listen to her play.
In this palace, the harem concubines are beautiful, they don't have any talents, and there are special musicians, why do you need to listen to yourself playing.
She had an ominous premonition in her heart, perhaps the emperor and the queen mother already knew it.
The emperor smiled kindly, and he continued: "It's okay, I'm just walking around in the imperial garden today, this talented girl, must be a piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, proficient in everything, since you are not good at guqin, then you will always play chess, accompany me to play chess." ”
Luo Shuangyi's head was running fast, she not only had to refuse the emperor's invitation, but also to please the emperor, at least not to be angry with herself.
She then coughed lightly and said: "The Queen Mother was supposed to leave me for dinner, but I have been feeling cold and uncomfortable recently, so I plan to leave the palace. ”
With that, Luo Shuangyi took two steps back.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and looked at Luo Shuangyi intently, her face was indeed not good, but this excuse was inferior, if she had the heart to play chess with herself, she would definitely not put this on the table.
He had never seen a woman so cold to him, and a smile appeared on the emperor's lips, only thinking that this young lady of the Luo family did seem to mean something.
"In that case, you should go back and rest early."
After the emperor spoke, Luo Shuangyi hurriedly quickened his pace and left here in a hurry.
Back in the house, Luo Shuangyi pondered, the queen mother and the emperor are not the same nostrils, the queen mother always mentions that she and the emperor are like a match, and the emperor also seems to be interested in touching himself at this time.
However, after talking with the emperor today, Luo Shuangyi also found that the temperament of the emperor and the queen mother is very different, and compared to the emperor, the queen mother is obviously much stronger.
The identity and status of the queen mother are there, if one day, she really wants to open her mouth and promise herself to the emperor, Luo Shuangyi has no room to resist at all.
Luo Shuangyi sat in the courtyard, propped his hands on his temples, kneading back and forth, and kept sighing.
"What's such a headache?"
Tang Shu's voice sounded behind her.
Luo Shuangyi almost suspected that he was hallucinating, and hurriedly turned around, only to see Tang Shu wearing a coat, standing behind him, his face had recovered slightly.
The corners of Tang Shu's mouth slowly raised a smile, and as soon as he walked over, Luo Shuangyi put his brocade on the stone bench, for fear that Tang Shu would sit directly on the cold stone bench and catch a cold.
"How did you get out?"
Luo Shuangyi was confused, he was still having a headache, there were guards guarding him, and he couldn't go in to read Tang Shu at all, but he didn't expect Tang Shu to come out of the cage.
"Naturally, I have a way."
Tang Shu smiled lightly, and then asked, "But when you enter the palace today, what's the trouble?" ”
Luo Shuangyi nodded his head, not knowing how to open his mouth to inform Tang Shu of this matter.
"Are you interested in the emperor?"
Before Luo Shuangyi could speak, Tang Shu knew everything well and took the initiative to mention the matter.
Luo Shuangyi was a little puzzled and looked at Tang Shu, but it was not the first time he knew about his vast magical powers.
"I naturally had no intention of the emperor, but when I entered the palace today, I arrived in the queen mother's bedroom, first the queen mother and Xie Yuxuan mentioned this matter in a song and harmony, and then I met the emperor in the back garden, his attitude towards me was very friendly, and he wanted to play chess with me."
Speaking of this, Luo Shuangyi couldn't help but sigh lightly.
When Tang Shu heard this, he covered his chest with one hand, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and his breathing began to get heavier, he had known about the queen mother's conspiracy, but he didn't expect that he would start acting so soon now.
Tang Shu's eyes were filled with bottomless darkness, and his hands were tightly clasped together.
Luo Shuangyi looked at his shoulder, because his emotions fluctuated too much, he actually touched the wound, and blood oozed out, Tang Shu's eyelids didn't hold it after all, and he fainted.
Luo Shuangyi hurriedly supported Tang Shu, and then shouted in shock: "Little bird, come on, Tang Shu has fainted." ”
Xiaoque hurriedly rushed out of the house, and when he saw this, he hurriedly went to ask someone to carry Tang Shu back to the guest room.
Many people in the house have already seen Fang Cai's situation, and they can't help but talk about it one after another.
