Chapter 155: Temptation

Gu Banqin listened to Liu Wu's words, and finally raised her eyes to look over, Liu Wu thought she was going to say something, but she heard Gu Banqin say:

"Isn't it forbidden to spread rumors in the palace? Go and find out where it came from. ”

Liu Wu sighed helplessly: "Oh, Niangniang, it's all at this juncture, why can't you grasp the point!" Where is the slave and maid telling you about the rumors in the palace, and about the emperor and Miss Lin. The emperor's kindness to Miss Lin is simply boundless, riding a horse and playing polo or something, the emperor has never taken his mother there......"

Gu Banqin saw that Liu Wu's little face was full of loss, and couldn't help laughing, came out of his own field, handed the scissors to the little palace maid on the side, and then wiped his hands and said:

"What do you pay attention to all day long! Miss Lin and the emperor are old friends, they used to ride horses together outside the gate, old friends meet, make an appointment to go out to ride a horse, play ball, it's normal, don't these have no heart, if you have kung fu, go to Caiping to help, she is short of manpower. ”

After saying this, Gu Banqin carried the hem of her skirt and walked to the chaise longue under the grape trellis, and the catkins followed behind, hating that iron could not become steel:

"Niangniang, you are really relieved, the emperor is also a gentleman in the end, the grandfather is good to a girl's family for no reason, and he soaks with her all day long, do you still think they are friends, that Miss Lin has just come, so the emperor has not come to Niangniang for several days, and he has never even sent someone over to ask, don't blame the slave for thinking too much."

After Gu Banqin sat down, she picked up a book covered on the coffee table and turned two pages, still unimpressed:

"It's not the first time that the emperor hasn't come for such a long time, no matter how long it is, I haven't seen you worry about it before."

"Niangniang, don't be confused, the emperor didn't come to our palace in the past, and he didn't go to other palaces, nor did he soak with other women, this time it's different, this time the emperor didn't come to Lihua Palace because of Miss Lin, Niangniang has to pay attention to it."

Liu Wu's anxious expression fell into Gu Banqin's eyes, a little helpless, he didn't want to continue the topic with her, he simply lowered his head and looked at the book, although Liu Wu was anxious, he couldn't force Gu Banqin to react, so he could only retire worriedly.

Gu Banqin looked at the back of Liu Wu leaving, and sighed, it seems that Helian Hongyi is really here this time.

If he didn't mean that to Lin Yuxiu, it was indeed unlikely that he would be with her for so many days, and even his favorite job could be put aside, which is enough to show that Lin Yuxiu is an existence more important than work in his heart at the moment, and the benefits brought by accompanying her may be greater than the benefits brought by his work.

Helian Hongyi is the emperor, he is shrewd and suspicious, and he will never let go of the power that can help him, and the Lin family behind Lin Yuxiu is still relatively tempting to Helian Hongyi.

Thinking of this, Gu Banqin couldn't help but think about her future path, her original plan was to do something for Helian Hongyi over the years, accumulate trust, and wait until a few years later, after Helian Hongyi became the queen, she can have her own existence value, and she doesn't have to worry about being easily eradicated by the queen.

She did things for Helian Hongyi, half because of her hobby, and half because she wanted to save her life, and now Lin Yuxiu suddenly appeared and disrupted Gu Banqin's plan.

Now her existence is more embarrassing, for Helian Hongyi, she has not yet gained the final trust, as far as the harem is concerned, she is still the target who has stolen the favor of all the women in the harem, and for Lin Yuxiu, she may have been included in the position of the first rival.

Either way, the situation doesn't seem to be in my favor.

Out of self-preservation, Gu Banqin really hopes at this moment that Helian Hongyi and Lin Yuxiu will not talk about marriage too early......

Helian Hongyi has been 'snubbing' Gu Banqin for eight days, and Liu Wu brought the news from outside to Gu Banqin all day long, so that Gu Banqin passively knew what Helian Hongyi and Lin Yuxiu did yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

As a sad single dog in a foreign land, Gu Banqin only felt that Helian Hongyi was either not romantic, and it was really a set of romances.

If the news of Liu Wu's inquiry is true, then Helian Hongyi and Lin Yuxiu have been creating good memories all over the palace in the past few days, what city tower to enjoy the sunrise, what to walk in the imperial garden in the rain, what to drink in the moon pavilion...... Wait a minute.

It sounds like these things were done by the Helian Hongyi that Gu Banqin knew, but he did it, and if this situation continues, Gu Banqin feels that it is not impossible for the two of them to have a flash marriage tomorrow.

If that's the case, Gu Banqin will be in danger.

For the sake of her own personal safety, Gu Banqin decided that it was better to make a slight statement in this regard, at least at a critical moment, so that Helian Hongyi, who was caught in the love network, remembered that in the harem, there was still her existence.

After thinking about it, Gu Banqin asked Liu Wu to prepare some refreshments from Lihua Palace, and prepared to go to Taihe Palace.

Liu Fu felt that her mother could open her mind, all because she was muttering beside her these days, full of a sense of accomplishment, and prepared a lot of things for Gu Banqin, and then volunteered, picked up the food box, and followed her mother to Taihe Hall to correct her name.

Gu Banqin saw Bi Geng and Wang Shun's father-in-law outside the Taihe Palace, and Bi Geng was just that, but Wang Shun's father-in-law was generally close to him, and at this time, Wang Shun's father-in-law was guarding outside, which means that the situation in the hall may be the kind of situation that is not suitable for being disturbed.

The footsteps stopped on the steps, Gu Banqin began to hesitate, whether to disturb at this time, just when he was hesitating, Wang Shun's father-in-law had sharp eyes, saw her, and came over to salute: "The slave asks for Niangniang, I haven't seen Niangniang for several days, Niangniang is okay?" ”

When people found out, there was no reason to retreat, Gu Banqin walked all the way up the steps, came to the corridor outside the Taihe Palace, and smiled at Wang Shun's father-in-law:

"Wow, what's wrong."

Wang Shun's father-in-law nodded with a smile, pointed to the hall, and whispered to Gu Banqin:

"The emperor is inside, do you want to spread the word?"

Gu Banqin looked at Wang Shun's father-in-law and remained silent: "Inside...... Just the emperor? ”

Wang Shun's father-in-law smiled: "There is also Miss Lin." ”

"Oh, Miss Lin is also there, so ...... I'm going in now, is it convenient? ”

Gu Banqin gave Duke Wang Shun an inquiring look, Duke Wang Shun glanced back, and nodded to Gu Banqin quietly: "The emperor didn't say that he wouldn't let people in, Niangniang waited, and the slave passed it to Niangniang." No matter what, you have to see the emperor to count. ”

Gu Banqin was a little helpless, yes, one or two thought she was here to be jealous, she wanted to say that she was here for the future, but probably no one believed her.

Gu Banqin waited outside the Taihe Hall for a while, and Wang Shun's father-in-law came out of it, handed Gu Banqin a 'done' look, and made a 'please' gesture to Gu Banqin:

"Mother, please."

Gu Banqin took the snack box in Liu Wu's hand, carried it in himself, and as soon as he crossed the threshold, he heard a burst of laughter like silver bells coming from inside.

Gu Banqin walked through the screen, and saw a man and a woman standing in front of the dragon case, as if they were studying something, and they were studying something interesting, Lin Yuxiu smiled brightly, and Helian Hongyi stood behind her with a rare expression, staring at the things on the bookcase.

Gu Banqin approached, coughed lightly, his eyes fell on the dragon case, and saw that what they were studying was like a painting, and Gu Banqin's arrival made Helian Hongyi and Lin Yuxiu raise their eyes.

Gu Banqin deliberately paid attention to the expressions of these two people after raising their eyes, Lin Yuxiu's mouth was slightly upturned, her eyes were soft, and she looked at Gu Banqin with a complete demonstrative look, while Helian Hongyi greeted Gu Banqin with a frank gaze, and when she saw the snack box she was carrying, she couldn't help but hook her lips and laugh.

"You're here."

The sound is steady, not at all caught in the current tension.

Gu Banqin greeted him with a smile, put the snack box in his hand on the coffee table on the side, and said to them while opening it:

"The cook in the concubine's palace made a few more Jiangnan snacks, and the concubine brought them over for the emperor to taste, I don't want Sister Yuxiu to be there, the concubine ...... Didn't bother you, did you? ”

Helian Hongyi's eyes fell on the few small snacks that Gu Banqin took out, osmanthus nectar cake, fruit pulp sweet soup, and eight-treasure glutinous rice balls, all of which were sweet and greasy, and they were not used for Helian Hongyi to eat.

Helian Hongyi glanced at Gu Banqin, and really saw Gu Banqin's eyes staring directly at Lin Yuxiu's body, smiled, and walked out of the dragon case.

Lin Yuxiu is also calm and calm, without the shyness of a woman who has not left the cabinet at all, as if no matter how close she and Helian Hongyi are, they are within the normal range of interactions, and there is no embarrassment after being caught, not only is it not embarrassing, but it is also a little anti-customer-oriented:

"I have long heard the Queen Mother say that the dim sum in the palace of Concubine Xian Niangniang is a must, and today it can be regarded as taking advantage of the emperor's light."

Lin Yuxiu came to Gu Banqin, unceremoniously picked up a piece of eight-treasure glutinous rice dumplings and ate them, took a bite, very amazing, and nodded again and again: "Not bad, sweet but not greasy, very refreshing, melt in the mouth, really delicious." ”

Gu Banqin smiled sweetly at her: "If it's delicious, Miss Lin will eat more, don't be polite, if it's not enough, I'll let someone send some more." ”

Maybe it was Gu Banqin's enthusiasm that made Lin Yuxiu feel strange, her eyes turned on Gu Banqin's face, and the way she had moved her index finger before suddenly changed, and she put the glutinous rice dumplings she had taken a bite into the food box, and actually smiled with an unknown meaning: "Concubine Xian Niangniang is so attentive, I don't know what to do." ”

Gu Banqin was stunned: "Huh? What should Miss Lin do? It's just a few pastries, where can it be called hospitality? ”

Lin Yuxiu looked at Gu Banqin, handed away a defensive gaze, Gu Banqin looked at her as if unconscious, and after a while, Lin Yuxiu avoided her gaze, turned around, and said softly to Helian Hongyi:

"Your Majesty, since Concubine Xian is here, then I will leave, thank you for the emperor's hospitality these days, I was worried that the emperor would not miss the old feelings, but now I am also relieved, and I will bother tomorrow."
