"Originally, I was worried about destroying Yuan'er's image in your heart, after all, this kind of thing, once you say it, there is no room for reversal." When Xiao Guifei opened her eyes, she was smiling slightly.

seems to recall what his son used to look like, and he is very happy in the bottom of his heart.

Lu Yao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that people were finally willing to open their hearts, since Gu Congyuan couldn't find any news at all, he simply started from Xiao Guifei.

Who knew that another way would be.

"How? No matter what kind of person Gu Congyuan used to be, I don't care, I believe in him, and I will always follow him and love him......" The voice gradually weakened, Lu Yao reacted, only to feel that his cheeks were hot, and he actually blushed.

Xiao Guifei was still worried in her heart, lest she say something and change Lu Yao's good impression of Gu Congyuan.

But now looking at her shy expression, it seems that she really doesn't care what kind of person His Royal Highness King Cong used to be, as if she really wants to understand that person's past.

What's more, Concubine Xiao Guifei was deeply aware of her son's character, except for the identity from the Shadow Pavilion, he didn't have anything worth criticizing at all.

"That's good," Xiao Guifei slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, smiled, and when she faced Lu Yao, there was love in her eyes, "Since you want to know so much, I'll tell you." ”

The hard work pays off, but it can be regarded as about to get the words out of Xiao Guifei's mouth, Lu Yao lowered his head slightly, and his eyes were shining, with a little guess.

Originally, she was not interested in Gu Congyuan's past affairs, it was nothing more than the words of this person who was a child because his father did not love his mother, he was born in a shadow, and he was strong in martial arts.

However, Gu Ziyan's endless entanglement completely aroused the doubts in Lu Yao's heart.

It's true that Gu Congyuan was cowardly and timid when he was young, so in the eyes of Xiao Guifei, what kind of person is the fake Gu Congyuan who exchanged the tanuki for the prince?

Looking at His Royal Highness King Cong's upright and resolute temperament now, there must not be much difference between his heart when he was a child and now.

If Concubine Xiao said that this person was as timid as a mouse, then most likely it was to prevaricate Lu Yao, and deliberately led the topic to the former King Cong.

At this time, the worried Xiao Guifei finally opened the jade mouth.

Sure enough, she looked at Lu Yao and said slowly: "When I was a child, Yuan'er's temperament was not as strong as it is now, and it can even be called a little old-fashioned and timid. ”

Lu Yao couldn't help but be stunned.

Come to think of it, although her husband Gu Congyuan is the illegitimate son of the former regent and Xiao Guifei, after all, he has been growing up in the Shadow Pavilion since he was a child, and the people who stay by Xiao Guifei's side have always been his half-brothers.

But it was too late, Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, and a trace of astonishment obviously flashed in his eyes, and Xiao Guifei saw her reaction, and seemed to feel something, and asked casually: "What's wrong?" ”

"I didn't ...... Not much. She smiled and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I just didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Cong was such a shy and introverted child when he was a child." ”

Xiao Guifei chuckled softly, took her eyes off her face, looked at the sky outside the window, and said, "People change." ”

"He grew so thin that the princes didn't like him very much, and they threw stones at him at every turn, saying that he was a wild seed born of a prodigal woman." Xiao Guifei said slowly.

Lu Yao was shocked when he heard this, his brows furrowed involuntarily, and he said angrily: "Which prince is so uneducated? How can such a thing be said? ”

"It's the Prince." There was no wave in Xiao Guifei's eyes.

Back then, she was young and vigorous, if she knew that someone was bullying her son like this behind her back and slandering her in a big way, she would either kill people quietly, or tear people apart with a lot of fanfare.

But this time is different from the past, no matter how arrogant and glamorous the beauty is, there is a day when she is old and decrepit, and Xiao Guifei is no longer as fierce as she was back then.

Lu Yao was stunned for a moment: "Prince? How could the prince have said such a thing, if I remember correctly...... Everyone's evaluation of the prince from childhood to adulthood is gentle and elegant, and he is a kind son. ”

Xiao Guifei nodded: "Indeed, Gu Ziyan was indeed knowledgeable when he was a child, and he was more sensible than the girl's family." ”

"It's just ......" her eyes rolled, gently shaking the small fan, her voice was a little stiff, "In the face of this palace, he hated and angry, and he didn't have the slightest nice words." ”

"It seems that I don't know much about what happened back then." Lu Yao said softly.

"You're still too young," Xiao Guifei slowly poured a cup of tea, slowly pushed it in front of her, and motioned for her to listen patiently, "After all, the children at that time basically didn't have any impression of these, and even Xiao Jiu was not born." ”

The teacup in Lu Yao's palm was ironed warm, and the tea did not taste bitter at all, she quietly lifted her eyelids and glanced at the graceful and luxurious woman sitting in front of her.

She has heard countless versions, saying that Concubine Xiao Guifei was amorous when she was young, and when the emperor had not yet ascended the throne, she hooked up with the two brothers Gu Huai and Gu Ji in one go, and the means were good.

Why did she hang the two brothers in a daze?

It's not because the situation in the world was undecided at that time, Gu Huai and Gu Ji, two young talents and the prince of Tiansheng, may not necessarily become the future emperor.

Xiao Guifei played a good hand of cards, and paved the way for herself no matter what.

It's just that I didn't expect that after becoming a concubine, countless big and small things were mixed with dirty things, mixed with the charming old things that she had once seen, and swept over together, and even directly affected her son Gu Congyuan.

But Lu Yao really doesn't know much about the entanglement between this arrogant concubine and the gentle queen over the years, but just from these three words, and how disgusted the prince is with Xiao Guifei......

Lu Yao knew.

Xiao Guifei is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Just when she wanted to get into the wrong and burn the soul of gossip, she suddenly heard Xiao Guifei laugh softly, as if recalling the glorious days of punching and kicking various concubines in the harem in the past, and she only felt that it was extremely grandiose, so she couldn't help laughing.

However, Lu Yao looked at her blankly.

Indeed, from between her curved red lips, I can see the situation of the year, and at the same time, there is also a deep sadness of things and people.

"Yao'er......" Her voice was so soft that she couldn't hear it, and asked suddenly, "Do you know why Yuan'er was so afraid of the prince when she was a child?" ”

Lu Yao shook his head, carefully observed her expression, and said, "I don't know." ”

"Because everyone said that he had a prodigal mother who did not know what to do." Xiao Guifei laughed self-deprecatingly, "Because of me, I don't deserve to be his mother at all, he was still so young at the time, he was going to be looked down upon by everyone, and he was going to be bullied by everyone......"

Seeing that people suddenly said so sadly, Lu Yao couldn't help but hurriedly reassure: "Don't say that, concubine, you actually ...... He's a very nice guy. ”

Xiao Guifei shook her head with a wry smile, and said sadly: "Silly boy, back then, they all said that I was heinous, and now even the emperor favors Nasang Chaqing and Shangguan Yu, I am old after all, even if I was in the limelight back then, I can't protect Yuan'er for a lifetime, and the emperor can't covet my beauty for a lifetime." ”

Lu Yao was stunned.

Even Concubine Xiao Guifei, who had the means and appearance back then, finally came to such a bleak situation, with Gu Congyuan's determination and skill now, he had already been involved in the battle for succession.

But if Gu Congyuan becomes the emperor of the Tiansheng Dynasty one day, sooner or later, the ministers will advise him to expand the harem and spread his branches......

Lu Yao was not good at fighting in the first place, and she was always the only hostess in the Cong Palace.

What would she do if it did come to that day?

"There's a lot of gossip out there." Xiao Guifei said, "Many are fake, but one is true." ”

Lu Yao subconsciously asked, "Which one?" ”

"I killed the former queen with my own hands." Xiao Guifei's voice trembled a little, and when she said this, she finally remembered the unbearable pain of the past, and couldn't help but close her eyes.

Lu Yao was shocked.

She was silent, and for a moment she didn't know what words to use to comfort her, after all, this matter was indeed not honorable.

"It is said that ......" Lu Yao peeked at the man's expression, "The queen back then was a very gentle person. ”

"Yes, even I, who am also a woman, have never seen such a gentle and virtuous beautiful woman." Concubine Xiao sighed, took a sullen sip of tea, as if she was paralyzing herself with wine, and said, "No wonder after so many years, Your Majesty still has an old affection for her, and even the recently favored concubine has the appearance of the first queen between her eyebrows." ”

Since the first queen was gentle and elegant, then Lu Yao subconsciously thought of her good sister Shangguan Yu, this person was indeed very similar to the first queen.

But at the same time, Sang Chaqing's strength should not be underestimated, this virtuous concubine has a smart beauty, she is like the sun in June, which is unforgettable at a glance.

Presumably in front of such a woman, the mild-mannered Shangguan Yu will soon be suppressed, right?

Lu Yao thought about it, and suddenly tasted a few clues, one was as warm as fire, and the other was gentle and lovely, wasn't it Xiao Guifei and the queen back then?

It seems that when Xiao Guifei was favored back then, she was very similar to today's Sang Chaqing.

Lu Yao asked, "Then why are you ......?"

Xiao Guifei interrupted her, lowered her eyes and said, "Silly child, what else?" From beginning to end, it was just for a man, the emperor seemed to have changed his taste at that time, and suddenly the freshness was over, he left me, and turned his head to find his childhood sweetheart baby queen. ”

It seems that the influence of the prince's biological mother is indeed very great, and to this day, Xiao Guifei's tone is still sour when she mentions it.

Although it wasn't as excited as Fang Cai, it was still hard to hide a sense of jealousy.
