What the?

Is this medicine still boiled by Li Yuankang himself?

"You...... Why do you want to boil medicine for me yourself? Is Brother Prince trying to poison me? Zhu Ajiao blinked, showing a surprised expression.

"Lonely." Li Yuankang blushed, immediately stood up, and walked outside.

Maybe I'm embarrassed, so I walked fast.

Zhu Ajiao hurriedly followed, "Brother Prince, wait for me!" ”

In the moonlit night, the palace maids slowly poured tea, the fragrance of tea was overflowing, and the fragrance of plum blossoms and tea was mixed together, which made people feel indistinguishable when they smelled it.

Gu Nanxiang dressed up and attended the tea party, originally hoping that Li Yuankang would be pleasantly surprised to see her, but he didn't expect Li Yuankang to show up.

And the emperor, after seeing Gu Nanxiang, frowned very tightly.

When Concubine Xiao Guifei saw it, she called Gu Nanxiang over alone and said, "Do you know that you are in trouble tonight?" ”

Gu Nanxiang lifted her skirt and replied shyly: "The courtiers don't know what the concubine means. ”

"You are smart and clever, naturally you should have a bright heart, such a tea party, the queen mother has just passed away, how can you wear such a dress and provoke the wrath of the saint?" Concubine Xiao Guifei sighed and said, "Hurry up and change into your fancy clothes and go back." ”

Gu Nanxiang's eyes were full of grievances, "The courtiers just hope that the prince's brother will see the courtiers, the flowers are red and willow green, and the colors are colorful, and the mood can be better?" ”

Xiao Guifei said in frustration: "Zhu Ajiao is sick, and the prince is taking care of her, so she didn't come over." This is not the person you should care about, Miss Gu. ”

Gu Nanxiang lowered his head and fiddled with his sleeves, and said with a shy smile: "No, how can the prince's brother really marry a fool to be the crown princess, doesn't this make the people of the world laugh?" ”

"This is the queen mother's last wish, the emperor is a filial son, and he will definitely abide by it." Xiao Guifei touched Gu Nanxiang's hand that was as white as jade and soft as weaving, and said with a smile: "Miss Gu is smart and generous, and there are naturally many people who like you." ”

At this time, someone lifted the beaded curtain and walked in.

Gu Nanxiang saw it, it was Li Yunze!

"Sister Nanxiang, you look so good today." Li Yunze's eyes fell on Gu Nanxiang, and he couldn't move away.

Gu Nanxiang sighed, "See the prince." ”

Concubine Xiao Guifei squeezed Li Yunze's eyes, and Li Yunze smiled and said, "Miss Gu, why don't I send you back?" ”

"But, isn't the prince still going to attend the tea party?" Gu Nanxiang lowered his head.

Li Yunze said with a smile: "The tea party is really not interesting, it's good to end it early." ”

Gu Nanxiang did not refuse again.

So, on the boulevard, Li Yunze escorted Gu Nanxiang back, two close figures in the moonlight.

When Xiao Guifei saw it, she was happy and worried.

In fact, the original intention of holding a tea party this time was to deal with Li Yuankang.

It's a pity that Li Yuankang didn't come, Concubine Xiao lost her opponent, and the tea party became perfunctory.

Fortunately, Li Yunze had one more chance to be alone with Gu Nanxiang. It's kind of good.

The Gu family is powerful, if Gu Nanxiang can marry Li Yunze, he will definitely be able to add a boost to Li Yunze's succession.

Therefore, Gu Nanxiang is the ideal daughter-in-law of Concubine Xiao.

At the end of the tea party, Xiao Guifei snuggled in the emperor's arms, hoping that the emperor could stay in Xiao Guifei's palace tonight.

But the emperor said: "I am not good in my own right, although I have been better recently, but because I have taken most of my efforts to guard the queen mother's coffin." I'd better go to the study and rest, and by the way, I can also take a look at the recital. ”

"The emperor's intentions are state affairs, which is a major matter of the society, and the concubines are willing to go to the study to serve the emperor and talk at night." Concubine Xiao lowered her head, her face blushing.

But even if it shows a childish attitude. After all, he is already old and decrepit, where can he retain the emperor's heart for a long time?

The emperor waved his hand and said, "No need, when I deal with state affairs, I don't want to have harem concubines by my side." Concubine Xiao has a heart, I know. ”

The emperor walked away with the help of the concubine.

Before leaving, the emperor asked, "What is the name of the daughter of the Ouyang family?" ”

Concubine Xiao was stunned, "Did the emperor say that the eldest daughter of the Ouyang family came tonight?" ”

"I don't care if she's a concubine or a concubine, I think she's dignified and virtuous, and she can read for my princesses." After the emperor finished speaking, he gave Xiao Guifei a look, "You can arrange it!" ”

"Yes!" Concubine Xiao Guifei watched the emperor leave, and her heart was uneasy.

Recently, Xiao Guifei and the Ouyang family have indeed gotten closer.

The Ouyang family is a prestigious family, and Ouyang Kong is also an academician of the Hanlin Academy.

Although the official position does not belong to the type of ministers, because the family has a long foundation, several brothers of the Ouyang family are officials in the imperial court and hold several important positions, so the family is long and healthy, and the power is prominent.

There was once a woman in the Ouyang family who entered the palace and was favored by her, but unfortunately she had not been able to give birth for many years, and Concubine Xiao often went to talk to her for a long time, and the relationship was good.

Concubine Xiao recently approached the Ouyang family, in fact, it was also for the purpose of marrying the Ouyang family.

It's just that Concubine Xiao Guifei has only one son, Li Yunze, Li Yunze's wife, and there can only be one, so since Concubine Xiao Guifei wants Gu Nanxiang to be Li Yunze's main room, the daughter of the Ouyang family, she can only be Li Yunze's side concubine.

Therefore, the concubines of the Ouyang family cannot be accepted, and only the concubines can ask for Li Yunze to be the side concubine.

In this way, Li Yunze's status will be very prominent, even if he goes to the fiefdom to be the prince, with the support of these ministers, he is not afraid that he will not win the championship in the end.

Moreover, although asking for a concubine is a retreat, but the concubines of the Ouyang family are also different, and the eldest daughter Ouyang Minghua is a rare lady of the sky, and her reputation is outside, I am afraid that Guanghua is even greater than that of concubines.

Xiao Guifei had this wishful thinking in her heart, so she also invited Ouyang Minghua to come over at this tea party.

It's just, what does the emperor mean?

Why did you want to name Ouyang Minghua in person, wanting to let Ouyang Minghua enter the palace as a princess companion?

Who will be the princess's companion, it was originally something that the harem concubines had to think about, the emperor should not have interfered, but now, the emperor not only intervened, but also hand-picked, could it be that the emperor also took a fancy to Ouyang Minghua?

On Xiao Guifei's back, layers of cold sweat suddenly broke out.

When the emperor arrived at the study, he asked Concubine Shu to come over and dress him, "I want to drink the decoction you personally stewed." ”

Concubine Shu stewed it in the past and served the emperor in person to drink it.

The emperor said: "The things stewed by the concubine are always so refreshing, I am used to eating what you make, but I feel that the imperial kitchen is not needed." ”

"That concubine will be the imperial chef in the future." Concubine Shu rubbed the emperor's temples.

"No, if you are the imperial cook, who will be considerate of me?" The emperor hugged Concubine Shu as he spoke, but his eyes looked out the window and said, "Have you seen Ouyang Minghua tonight?" She smiled and frowned, really like a deceased queen. ”
