Chapter 430: The Harem Woman
When Lu Yao followed Gu Congyuan to the Heart Cultivation Palace, she was anxious all the way, and until she entered the hall, she was still whispering in people's ears: "Do you think the emperor has found out about this matter?" Why do I feel so shangling? ”
"Don't worry." He tilted his head slightly and said softly, "If he finds out, he won't politely invite us into the palace to catch up." ”
Lu Yao nodded, and walked in with the people nervously, but as soon as he entered, he saw Gu Ziyan with a malicious face on the seat next to him.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obviously felt a little unhappy because of King Cong's return to Beijing, and looked at them with a bad face.
Gu Congyuan only glanced at him with his peripheral vision, then snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left, and stepped forward and said, "Son, see my father." ”
"The concubine has seen Your Majesty." Lu Yao also saluted respectfully.
The emperor seemed to be in a good mood, he waved his hand, let Lu Yao and Gu Congyuan sit opposite the prince, and asked, "King Cong has traveled for many days, what can I see, why not tell me about it?" ”
Lu Yao quietly glanced at Gu Congyuan.
The man sat there with a straight waist and a cold face, obviously disdainful of the emperor's sudden gentleness.
But also, Gu Congyuan has never liked the saint, even if that person is his biological father.
His eyes drooped slightly, and he said: "During this time, I found that my Tiansheng Shipping has gradually developed, and I deeply feel that it is not easy for Your Majesty. ”
As soon as Gu Congyuan's flattery came out, Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, His Royal Highness King Cong didn't say directly: "I haven't seen anything during this time." ”
Who knows, Gu Ziyan sneered and said, "Second brother, you don't have a lot of places, right?" It's been so many days since I left, and I don't even have to deal with official business, but it's really leisurely, is it possible to say such a sentence? ”
Lu Yao immediately frowned slightly, and shot the first bird, but for the sake of Gu Congyuan, she still met the man's gaze without the slightest fear, and said, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?" King Cong is dealing with official business day and night on the passenger ship, how did he come to you, but it has become a leisure? ”
Gu Congyuan turned his head slightly, and when he saw Lu Yao defending him like this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of warmth in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Madam, you don't have to argue with such people, it's not worth it." ”
originally thought that the emperor's attitude towards Gu Congyuan would change, and the attitude of everyone in the court would improve, but who knew that the first thorn was the prince Gu Ziyan.
clearly looks gentle and gentle, like a decent gentleman, but in the face of Gu Congyuan, he really has no scruples about brotherhood, and he is full of firepower.
Seeing the two arguing, the emperor's face couldn't help but sink slightly.
The prince is the best at observing words and feelings, and seeing that his father's face is not good, he said: "Brother and sister, this is misunderstanding me, I just care about the second brother, after all, the second brother has been dealing with the affairs of the Xuanji Camp, and there are very few opportunities to go out, and there is no too far-reaching insight, this trip is an opportunity to expand your horizons, isn't it?" ”
His tone is very gentle and gentle, and if he doesn't listen to the content, I'm afraid he really thinks that he is a good brother who cares about his younger brother.
But Lu Yao clearly heard his words with guns and sticks,-for-tat, openly and secretly insulting Gu Congyuan for being a short-sighted and rough person.
He slandered his husband like this, Lu Yao categorically couldn't accept it: "You ......"
Just as she was about to speak, the wide sleeves covered her hand, Gu Congyuan gently pinched the back of the cold hand, signaling Lu Yao not to fight with him in front of His Majesty.
Lu Yao could only endure the anger in his stomach and sat back silently, but his subordinates were really depressed.
At this time, Gu Congyuan, who had been silent, finally spoke slowly, and he sneered: "Why, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is greedy when he sees me going out for a trip?" ”
To tell the truth, Gu Ziyan does envy Gu Congyuan for being able to travel freely, but as a prince, he has many responsibilities, even if he wants to travel and play, he can only wander around this small capital like a beast, and when the sun sets, he will rush back to the palace in a hurry.
It's all false to say that you don't envy.
But the prince is the prince after all, he seems to be gentle, but his temperament is not much softer than Gu Cong, it is impossible for him to say "envy" softly, especially in front of-for-tat opponents.
He sneered: "This palace is busy helping my father deal with the affairs of the Tiansheng Dynasty, and it takes a lot of brains, where can he be like the second brother?" Doing nothing all day long, dancing with knives and sticks in the Xuanji camp, not knowing how to forge ahead. ”
Gu Congyuan snorted slightly, and said: "As far as I know, the prince seems to have been staying in the palace all along, and what he can see is just a scene in the palace, reading thousands of books, it is better to travel thousands of miles, I don't know what qualifications you have to teach me?" ”
The prince let people poke in the heart, and he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and reprimanded: "Gu Congyuan, you are simply disrespectful!" ”
The emperor actually wanted to hear what Gu Congyuan had seen and heard, but for a while he forgot that the prince was still here, and these two people were going to fight you to death as soon as they met.
"Shut up." He rubbed his temples with a headache and rebuked coldly, "Prince, do you want me to listen to King Cong, or do you want me to listen to you?" ”
Gu Ziyan saw that his father was annoyed and his tone was not good, so he hurriedly got up in fear and said: "Father is angry, I am very happy to see my second brother come back, and I can't help but ask a few more words, it is the son's resonance who lost his words." ”
The emperor gave him a blank look, snorted coldly, and turned his head.
Gu Congyuan had a chance to speak, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, not as flattering as the prince, and said: "Father, the son-in-law thinks that the most meaningful trip is to go to southern Xinjiang. ”
"Oh?" The emperor's eyes lit up, he naturally knew that this was the place where Gu Congyuan became famous in the first battle, and he couldn't help but lean over, looking very interested, and said, "What did you see, let's hear it." ”
Gu Congyuan said softly: "Now even the miasma-filled southern Xinjiang can be well organized under the governance of the Tiansheng Dynasty, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people of different races are happy, which is not at all like the scene of the war and chaos a few years ago. ”
When the emperor was young, he also fought several battles in southern Xinjiang, and when he saw Gu Congyuan say this, his eyes couldn't help but show a little yearning.
He sighed to himself for a long time before he said: "If I can go to southern Xinjiang again in this life, I won't regret it......"
Gu Cong was far from expecting him to suddenly become sad and sad, and Lu Yao couldn't help but take a few more looks, and found that the emperor was really a little old now, and it was clear that this person was not very old, but his temples were already gray.
Lu Yao quietly glanced at Gu Congyuan a few more times, as if he wanted to see a little bit of "father's kindness and filial piety" from his cold face.
However, Gu Congyuan's expression was as cold as ever, like frost, and she didn't smile at all from the moment she saw the emperor, so that it was difficult for her to connect this person with the gentle husband in King Cong's mansion.
At this time, a charming voice suddenly came from behind: "The emperor said this, the concubine can't help but feel distressed, your dragon is healthy, and it is not ......too much for 10,000 years."
Lu Yao was provoked with goosebumps, and she shivered.
As soon as she heard this voice, she guessed who that person was, and sure enough, a brightly dressed woman slowly came out of the back hall, it was Sang Chaqing.
She gently held the emperor's arm, fed a grape, and said softly: "Your Majesty has been talking for so long, are you tired?" ”
Lu Yao couldn't help frowning, but he was afraid that the next sentence would be "If you are tired, come and drink some bar", and there must be five stones scattered in that wine.
I thought that the emperor would refuse Sang Chaqing's bold behavior, but the old guy ate the grape happily, and said: "I still love the concubine and feel sorry for me, unlike the prince, who knows that nonsense will anger me." ”
Gu Ziyan choked for a moment, and was speechless for a while.
He was inexplicably reprimanded and rolled his eyes by the emperor, his heart was unbalanced, and he had words of suffering on his face.
These words relieved Gu Congyuan's anger, and his face was slightly pale.
Sang Chaqing poured a cup of tea for the emperor and slowly handed it to him, in the end, he didn't feed it to him, Lu Yao didn't get spicy to his eyes, and he was a little lucky in his heart.
She quietly patted her chest and said secretly: "This mulberry tea green is really good at ......"
In the next second, the man cocked his orchid fingers, and his beautiful eyes glared fiercely at the little eunuch standing on the side and said, "What's the matter with you, can't you see that Your Majesty is thirsty?" ”
was so babbling, I thought that the emperor would be very dissatisfied, who knows, Lu Yao raised his eyes and saw that the emperor was smiling kindly, as if he was accustomed to shouting at Sang Chaqing so much.
She secretly said in her heart: "It's really a red face, the emperor is blinded by the fox spirit." ”
His Royal Highness King Cong, who was sitting next to him, was the culprit who lured this fox spirit into the room, Lu Yao only felt that it was extremely complicated, and couldn't help but sigh.
Gu Congyuan immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Lu Yao waved his hand again and again and said, "It's nothing." ”
It should have been a great opportunity for Gu Congyuan and the emperor to get closer, but who knew that this mulberry tea green would come out unscrupulously, and she really couldn't understand the emperor's taste now.
Maybe the emperor is really not old, wisdom is faint, a few years ago, he would not let the concubine to hang out in the hall of the Palace of Raising Hearts, now there is no king's law, he is still full of spoiling, and I don't know whose shadow he saw in those muddy old eyes.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Concubine Xian, you sit down and talk." ”
The man replied charmingly, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Lu Yao was still too young, she never expected Sang Chaqing to be bold to such an extent, and she couldn't help but let out a "puff" from the bottom of her heart.
The scene in front of me is truly terrifying......
"Ahem." Gu Ziyan finally couldn't sit still.
"Concubine Xian, I hope you can pay attention to the impact." The crown prince frowned dissatisfiedly, "After all, this is the Heart Cultivation Palace, King Cong and I are here, and you are sitting on my father's lap, what is this?" ”
Who knew that Nasang Chaqing didn't care, but because the prince was nosy, he was dissatisfied, and pursed his lips and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I am His Majesty's concubine, is there anything wrong with sitting on his lap?" Do you also want to sit on His Majesty's lap? ”
