Chapter 626
Gu Ruoxi only glanced at it, and then saw through what Xuanyuan Shu was thinking, and then sighed and shifted his gaze. A nest of ants
During the whole banquet, she couldn't swallow a little, and then she simply put down her chopsticks and concentrated on cooking for the Queen Mother.
Gu Ruoxi didn't have to think about it to know that it was Xie Yu, since the last time he saw it in the palace, this Xie Yu seemed to be eyeing him. first sent the box of things, and now he blatantly harassed himself at the banquet, if he was seen by the queen or others, eighty percent would think that he had seduced him!
Gu Ruoxi held his breath in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. Xie Yu is cheap, she can't be the same as him! This will only make things worse.
"Xi'er, what are you thinking?" At this moment, the Queen Mother suddenly asked with a smile.
Gu Ruoxi was taken aback, thinking that the Queen Mother had seen through the apprehension in her heart, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, Ruoxi didn't think about anything. β
"I haven't seen you for so long, the mourning family knows that you have a lot to say to Jing'er, go ahead!" The Queen Mother waved her hand with a smile and said.
"Queen Mother, this ......" Gu Ruoxi never expected the Queen Mother to say such a thing in public, and her face turned red.
At this moment, the emperor casually looked up, and happened to see the side of her face, the clump of clotted skin was like a petal smudged bright and dazzling red, and it looked very good. The emperor was immediately stunned.
But soon, Gu Ruoxi returned to her normal color, she put away her shyness, stood up and blessed the Queen Mother, then walked over and sat down in front of the desk next to Xuanyuan Jingxi. Her movements are like all the daughters in the capital, mediocre.
The emperor quickly showed a look of disappointment, and his eyes turned from Gu Ruoxi's body without hesitation. As for the previous unscrupulous urge to get a woman, he had long forgotten it.
Gu Ruoxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and then turned his head to look at Xuanyuan Jingxi.
I haven't seen him for more than a month, and the feeling of wind and frost on his body seems to be a little heavier, but his eyes are brighter than before.
This is the husband she will marry in the future, gentle and affectionate, handsome and wise, he has been tested many times, and he is only close to his appearance......
If this is the purpose and destination of her crossing, it seems to look good too......
"What are you thinking?" At this moment, Xuanyuan Jingxi asked in a low voice.
"Nothing." Gu Ruoxi said busily, and as she spoke, she put away the melancholy and emotion on her face.
At this moment, she felt another evil gaze cast at her with aggression.
The disgust in Gu Ruoxi's heart is incomparable, she is really fed up with this man's entanglement regardless of the reason!
"Gongzi Xie, you have been looking at this king, do you want to compete with this king?" At this moment, Xuanyuan Jingxi on the side suddenly said in a deep voice.
When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she immediately turned her head, but saw Xuanyuan Jingxi showing a reassuring smile at her.
It turned out that he knew the disgust in his heart!
"His Royal Highness King Jing, how dare I! You're a person who has been on the battlefield, and you have a killing aura, and I'm just a dumb kid who doesn't know anything, where do I have the courage to challenge you? Lord, don't be kidding! Xie Yu replied with a smile.
When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, his face did not change and said, "Really? But I saw that Gongzi Xie had been staring at the saber at my waist, and I thought you wanted it! As he spoke, he untied his sword from his waist.
The mighty and domineering Queen Mother
When Xie Yu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. He was not so shameless, and said in public that he was just looking at Gu Ruoxi, in that case, without Xuanyuan Jingxi's action, the emperor would depose him.
"No, no, no. I just look at the majesty of this sword worn by Your Royal Highness King Jing, and I admire it, so I just look at it twice! Xie Yu hurriedly retorted.
Xuanyuan Jingxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? So that's the case? I didn't expect you to have a positive side! Not bad! β
"The prince laughed." Xie Yu only replied, but he sneered in his heart.
This King Jing should have discovered his harassing gaze at Gu Ruoxi, but he was not angry, and he didn't expose it, he just mocked himself a few words, which was too cowardly!
If it were him, his fiancΓ©e would be so coveted, he would have beaten him unceremoniously!
In this short moment, Xie Yu had a sense of contempt for Xuanyuan Jingxi.
But Xuanyuan Jingxi just sat there steadily, as if he didn't take Xie Yu's contempt in his eyes at all. Occasionally turned his head to look at Gu Ruoxi, and his eyes were still as gentle as water.
What's going on here. Everyone in the palace noticed it, ignored it, and gloated, but only the queen showed a trace of nervousness in her eyes.
That Xuanyuan Jingxi is not a master to mess with, Xie Yu will not have good fruit to eat if he jumps down again!
She glared at Xie Yu fiercely and warned him not to act rashly.
Xie Yutian is not afraid, and his father and mother don't pay attention to it, but he is very in awe of his aunt. After seeing this look, he became honest.
Without that harassing look, Gu Ruoxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she was not afraid of Xie Yu. It's just that I hate this person.
As for the box of obscene things sent by Xie Yu, as early as last night, Gu Ruoxi had corroded with the sulfuric acid that had been tried and tested, leaving nothing behind. Even the corpse capital can't be found, and there is no way to find the real one.
After this turmoil, the banquet calmed down, and many people kept their mouths shut, but the emperor was the only one who talked and laughed.
"The seventh brother has not come back for many years this time, it can be said that he has worked hard, and has made indelible contributions to the Dayuan country, come, seventh brother, I salute you!"
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Jingxi hurriedly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Brother Huang." This is simply a torment of the minister's brother, serving the country, doing his best, and dying, this is originally what every courtier should do, the courtier's brother is just doing his duty, he deserves to be praised by the royal brother so much, what you say, it is really a torment to the minister. β
"Hahaha! Seventh brother, you are still so modest! When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help laughing, turned his head to the queen mother and said, "Queen Mother, if I don't praise Jingxi, will you be annoyed?" β
When the Queen Mother heard this, she said indifferently: "The emperor's words are wrong, those are Jing'er's responsibility." If you don't praise it, it proves that he still needs to improve, and the mourning family is to blame, you can only blame him, how can you blame the emperor? β
"Anyway, this year's seventh brother failed to fulfill his filial piety by the side of the queen mother, this is caused by me, again, I can't help but say sorry to the queen mother." The emperor restrained his smile and said seriously.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she hurriedly said: "Loyalty to the country and filial piety to the mother, in the end, which important mourning family is still clear, no matter who will choose the former, the emperor has no debt to the mourning family, don't say that!" β
In the second half, only the emperor and the queen mother were left complimenting each other, Gu Ruoxi listened to it drowsy, but Xie Yu was sitting opposite, and she didn't dare to relax at all.
It was easy to wait for the banquet to disperse and the emperor left, so she hurriedly stood up and went to support the queen mother.
Everyone also dispersed in twos and threes, and the Queen Mother was supported by Gu Ruoxi, and told Xuanyuan Jingxi: "Shangxi'er will live with the Queen Mother tonight, you go to Jingde Palace to stay for one night!" β
The queen happened to pass by, and immediately said lightly: "Queen Mother, do you need such trouble?" Anyway, the seventh brother has been engaged to Miss Gu Er for so long, and it is only because of filial piety that he delayed it, so let them both live in your dormitory, it's nothing? β
"What nonsense are you talking about?" When the Queen Mother heard this, her face sank and she said angrily: "What kind of system is this! Ruoxi and my son Jingxi have always been innocent, not to mention that she is still in the period of filial piety, doesn't the queen feel guilty when she says this? β
When the queen saw that the queen mother was really angry, her arrogance fell, and she sneered: "Queen Mother, the concubine doesn't mean that......"
"And what do you mean?" The Queen Mother said angrily: "Do you think that the emperor drank too much and no one commented, right?" β
"Queen Mother's ......"
"Don't call me the queen mother! You kneel down for the mourners! The Queen Mother said angrily.
When the queen heard this, her face turned pale, and at this time there were still concubines and princes in the hall who had not left, and everyone looked at this scene with amazement.
And the emperor had already been helped to rest in the inner hall.
The queen's face was white and red, she was the mother of a country, what would it be like if she knelt down in front of everyone? But if she doesn't kneel, won't she be disrespectful to her mother-in-law?
As soon as the big crime of disrespecting the Queen Mother is deducted, she will not be able to take advantage of it no matter what!
The atmosphere froze.
"Queen, you don't have me as the queen mother in your eyes anymore, right?" The Queen Mother looked at the queen coldly, and her voice was deep: "It's okay if you misunderstand my son, but it's a big mistake for you to misunderstand Ruoxi!" She is an innocent woman, and she would rather move her marriage date back three years to keep filial piety for her father, how precious is this! Do you think that the mourning family never mentioned that she should get married while she was waiting for filial piety? But this girl refuses! β
"Previously, the crown princess was because of your suspicions, and she almost died to prove her innocence, no matter how many reasons your queen finds, the facts are always there! The crown princess is not the daughter-in-law of the mourning family, and her grievances and mourning family can't call the shots, but the queen wants to use the same method to deal with Ruoxi again, and the mourning family will never agree! β
These words are loud and clear, clearly representing the Queen Mother's thoughts, Gu Ruoxi, she is very determined! If the queen wants to treat Gu Ruoxi in the same way, she will be the first to stand up against it!
The concubines and minions who did not disperse around were all taken aback when they heard this, and everyone glanced at Gu Ruoxi with disbelief, at this moment, for this meek and polite woman who was always silent, everyone had a little more respect in their hearts.
If nothing else, just for the Queen Mother's words!
Gu Ruoxi glanced at the Queen Mother with some surprise, her eyes were full of emotion, she didn't expect that the Queen Mother would support her so much!
Xuanyuan Jingxi showed a hint of a smile.
The queen stood there, her face was blue and red, and she couldn't help but argue for herself: "Queen Mother! The daughter-in-law did not deliberately deal with the crown princess, please be careful! β
"The mourning family didn't say that you deliberately dealt with the crown princess, you said it yourself!" The Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "Empress, do you think that others don't know what you have done?" None of us are blind! People are doing it, and the sky is watching! It's just that you're pulling the fart curtain to cover your face! The matter of the crown princess, the mourning family has no intention of overturning the case, but you want to use the same method to deal with the mourning family's own daughter-in-law, there is no way! β
"Queen Mother, the daughter-in-law really doesn't mean to deal with Miss Gu Er, the sentence just now is just a gaffe......" The queen couldn't help but defend herself, at this moment, her heart was really remorseful, she knew that this was the case, just now she didn't want to talk about it!
The Queen Mother snorted coldly and did not answer.
Everyone didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so tough, and they all showed surprised expressions.
The queen stood there, neither advancing, nor retreating, nor kneeling, nor standing, it was extremely uncomfortable! She's never been so disgraced as she is now!
At this moment, she suddenly felt Xie Yu behind her take a step forward, and she was about to open her mouth to speak, but the queen was in a hurry, and hurriedly stretched out her foot and kicked Xie Yu back.
Don't let him open his mouth at this moment, or else things will get worse and worse!
Xie Yu was kicked, and even though he understood what his aunt meant, he stopped his mouth and swallowed back what he wanted to refute, but he glanced at Gu Ruoxi in the crowd, his eyes were extremely vicious!
Gu Ruoxi came into contact with his gaze, but she was neither humble nor silent, she had already thought clearly, for a person like Xie Yu, it was useless to be blindly afraid of dodging, it could only increase his arrogance, it was better to go head-on!
Xie Yu saw Gu Ruoxi's gaze, but he was stunned, he didn't expect this girl to be afraid of herself!
An inexplicable mixture of mockery, appreciation, and apprehension swelled in his heart.
"What are you arguing about outside?" At this moment, the drunken voice of the emperor suddenly sounded behind everyone.
When everyone turned around, they saw that the emperor was supported by Gao Gonggong and walked out of the inner hall.
"The Queen Mother! The concubine knew that she was wrong! At this moment, the queen suddenly pounced, knelt down straight in front of the queen mother, and wept bitterly and admitted her mistake: "The concubine shouldn't say that sentence, please punish the queen mother!" β
Seeing this, the Queen Mother immediately sneered and said, "Don't pretend, Queen!" What happened just now, do you think the emperor himself is not clear? You obviously don't want to kneel down to mourn your family, but you deliberately pretended to be a mourner in front of the emperor and bullied you, do you think that all the people standing around you are dead? β
When the queen heard this, she was immediately stunned, but she cried more and more: "Queen Mother! What are you talking about? The daughter-in-law just felt deeply ashamed, so she knelt down, and it has nothing to do with you......"
"Queen, don't say it!" At this moment, the emperor suddenly spoke.
The queen's words came to an abrupt end, she turned her head a little puzzled, and saw the emperor walking over with an expressionless face.
A hint of fear welled up in her heart.
"Queen Mother, it's the queen who doesn't understand the rules and talks nonsense, I will compensate you for her." At this moment, the emperor suddenly knelt down as well.
The Queen Mother hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull: "Emperor, this is none of your business, get up quickly!" said, sighed: "The queen is still good to the mourning family on weekdays, but she is a person!" Always suspicious and suspicious, speculating on others with a bad attitude, this mourning family couldn't be controlled, she is your wife, and if you want to teach a lesson, the emperor will teach you a lesson. β
"But today, the mourning family has to teach her a lesson for you!" Speaking of this, the Queen Mother's words changed, and there was a little more sternness in her tone: "Ruoxi, since she has been engaged to Jing'er, then she is the daughter-in-law of the mourning family, who dares to ridicule and despise her, it is to despise the mourning family!" , the mourning family doesn't want other people's malice to ruin her reputation! β
When the emperor heard this, he stood up and said aloud: "Queen Mother! You're right! What is the matter, Erchen already knows in his heart, this makes the queen apologize to you, you can rest assured, I will punish her fiercely, and will never let her do this kind of thing again! β
As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the queen with disgust, and said in a deep voice: "Why don't you apologize to the queen mother soon?" β
The queen had countless grievances and regrets in her heart, but she could only nod according to the emperor's wishes, turned her head to the queen mother and cried: "Queen Mother! The daughter-in-law was wrong, please forgive the daughter-in-law! β
The Queen Mother originally wanted to rush out and ask the queen to apologize to Gu Ruoxi, but she swallowed the words when they came to her mouth. If she really did this, she would push Gu Ruoxi to the cusp, she would definitely be hated by the queen in the future, thinking of a way to torture, but this was not what she wanted.
The purpose of the Queen Mother is just to kill the queen's majesty, so that she will not dare to act rashly against Gu Ruoxi in the future.
If she is really too arrogant and domineering and does not give face to the queen, then it will inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of the emperor, and the emperor and queen are originally one.
Therefore, for the queen's apology, the queen mother sighed, but she stepped forward, took her own hands, and helped the queen up from the ground, and said: "The mourning family just said angry words, but I didn't expect the queen to really kneel, why bother?" Your filial piety and mourning family have always known that you have lost your temper just now, queen, I'm sorry! β
She even apologized herself!
When the queen heard this, she hurriedly said: "No, queen mother, it should be your daughter-in-law who apologizes to you!" As he spoke, he was about to kneel down again, but he was held up by the Queen Mother.
"Queen, look stop kneeling! This old bone of the mourning family has no strength to support you anymore! The Queen Mother gasped.
This time, without waiting for the queen to speak, the emperor on the side hurriedly said: "Empress, get up!" Don't burden the queen mother. β
"Yes, Your Majesty." When the queen heard this, she immediately got up.
