Chapter 318: Tempting Each Other
Once this idea is firm, Gu Xi will no longer be afraid, in the face of Su Zhi back then, she has a way to win, not to mention the little maid in front of her, who is just a little like a god.
Gu Xi sneered, and mocked Duan Jingyi for the throne for the sake of the throne did not hesitate to find a person like his own mother to send to Emperor Duan, this trick is shameless and extremely risky, after all, the person who ordered Su Zhi's execution back then was Emperor Duan, if he hadn't forgiven Su Zhi now, wouldn't it be self-defeating to send an identical one into the palace, it seems that Duan Jingyi has already figured out what Emperor Duan wants, since this is the case, Gu Xi can't let him succeed.
In addition, Gu Xi wanted to settle the old accounts together because of this bean, what is the use of her looking like Su Zhi, a fake is a fake, I don't believe that Emperor Duan can make a dancing girl a queen, even if Emperor Duan really wants to do this, the ministers can't agree.
As long as Emperor Duan sends people into the harem, it will be completely under Gu Xi's hands, and when that time comes, take advantage of Emperor Duan's inability to support her to say a few words and do a few things, Gu Xi is still afraid that he will not be able to squeeze out a mere dancer.
Thinking of this, Gu Xi's heart suddenly felt much more relaxed, and even gasping for breath was free, she looked at the song and dance in front of her, so she picked up the wine glass and said to Emperor Duan, "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the concubine respects Your Majesty a cup, may Your Majesty be evergreen!" β
Emperor Duan was stunned for a moment, and wanted to subconsciously look back at the face of the person behind him, but after hearing a light cough, he forced himself not to look back, but he also raised his wine glass a little impatiently and said perfunctorily, "Okay." β
"Your Majesty might as well drink a few more glasses today, tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and you don't need to go to court, have you worked hard for a year and won't even relax today?" Gu Xi didn't give up, and as he spoke, he took the wine jug and walked directly towards Emperor Duan, and finally stood firm near him, slowly and charmingly filling the wine glass in Emperor Duan's hand.
At this time, Emperor Duan didn't mention how nervous he was, on the one hand, he was kissing me and me with his concubine right under Su Zhi's nose, and on the other hand, he was really afraid that Su Zhi would be so affectionate with Gu Xi when she was away.
This glass of wine made Emperor Duan extremely uncomfortable, but he couldn't rush Gu Xi away, so he had to frown and say, "I am tired today and don't want to drink more, so Concubine Ai should go back." β
"Your Majesty is tired?" Gu Xi pretended to be surprised and casually stuffed the wine jug in his hand behind him, just and impartially stuffed it into Su Zhi's hand, but Gu Xi put his hand on Emperor Duan's shoulder with an eager and sincere face, "Your Majesty is working day and night, and the concubine is reckless, so I will make amends for you and give you a good sense of comfort." β
Saying that, a slow force began to come from her slender fingers, and Emperor Duan couldn't wait to push people out directly, but after all, he must not lose his royal demeanor in front of the ministers' relatives, and Gu Xi dared to take the initiative so much because of this.
Su Zhi carried the wine jug behind her and looked coldly at the two people in front of her at the same time, rolling her eyes in her heart, thinking: naΓ―ve!
This is all the harem methods she saw back then, competing for favor openly and secretly, I didn't expect that after so many years, the rank of the harem women has not improved at all, or such a basic stage, no wonder that a full twenty years have passed, Gu Xi has not yet reached the position of queen, I am afraid that it is precisely because of her softness that Emperor Duan hesitated, a woman who wants to be a mother in the world first needs to be calm, can she help the monarch to rejuvenate the country That is a later story, at least it can't make people laugh in front of people.
It's a pity that Gu Xi never understood this truth, and always used weakness to win the favor of Emperor Duan, but in the end, he was still a little angry.
Su Zhi rolled her eyes from behind, she pinched her fingers and calculated, usually when she acted in this kind of drama, there should be a new supporting role, sure enough, Gu Xi kneaded Emperor Duan for two clicks, and then she heard someone in the concubine table at the bottom speak, "Your Majesty is really a blessing, Sister Xi is virtuous and considerate, and it is also a blessing for the sisters in our harem, and the concubine also respects Your Majesty." β
Su Zhi kept thinking about it in her heart, she was tired of this kind of drama of competing for favor and holding stinky feet, so she didn't care who was favored at this moment, the more she listened to the flattery of His Royal Highness's concubines one after another, the more funny she felt.
But Emperor Duan didn't think so, he couldn't just look back at his daughter-in-law's face out of wanting to protect Su Zhi, this time he made Emperor Duan miserable, and he hadn't felt the trembling at this moment after being an emperor for so many years.
Even if Su Zhi was not jealous now, he didn't look at him anymore, but Emperor Duan still felt that Rumang was on his back, and imagined in his heart that Su Zhi would definitely hold a grudge and wait for no one to settle accounts with him, the more he thought about it, the more irritable Emperor Duan became, and now he only prayed that Su Zhi would be angry and angry, as long as he didn't ignore him.
In the end, Emperor Duan couldn't help but secretly turn his head to look at Su Zhi under the pretense of changing his posture, but the latter looked calmly ahead, as if everything that happened in front of him had nothing to do with him, Emperor Duan relaxed slightly, but as soon as he saw the wine jug in her hand in a blink of an eye, his face instantly changed.
Emperor Duan's eyebrows sank, and he reacted that Gu Xi must have seen something, otherwise she would not have stepped forward so abruptly to offer her courtesy, and Emperor Duan didn't believe that the wine pot had just happened to be in Su Zhi's hands.
Emperor Duan's mind sank, and he was wondering if Gu Xi had already recognized Su Zhi.
Although he ordered someone to find more than a dozen maids with similar eyebrows and eyes to Su Zhi to appear together, the woman who was once a beautiful sensation in the country was not so easy to imitate after all, not to mention that Su Zhi has her own unique temperament, even if she wears a veil, she can't hide a little.
Emperor Duan's heart was filled with this matter for a moment, and he even thought that if Gu Xi really saw something, he could do something to deal with Gu Xi silently, so that she would never be able to open her mouth to speak again.
As if sensing that something was wrong with Emperor Duan, Gu Xi slowly stopped the movements in his hand, but his body was closer, "But the concubine is uncomfortable?" β
Emperor Duan thought for a while, and immediately spoke, "It's because I'm afraid that my concubine will work hard, so you can also rest and have a drink with me." β
Emperor Duan's sudden change of attitude surprised both Gu Xi and Su Zhi, but they listened to Emperor Duan then slowly speak, "It's really hard for you to be in charge of the harem for me now, and I can't bear to add any more burden to you, but sometimes you need to work more for me, such as the new Dou'er girl next to me." β
Gu Xi was deeply moved by Emperor Duan's sudden gentle approval, and responded directly and softly, "Whoever Your Majesty likes, just send it to the harem, and the concubine will definitely help you take care of it." β
