Chapter 218: Suspicious Liu'er
A flash of panic flashed on Liu Er's face subconsciously, but no one noticed.
Ah Jiu had no surprises or surprises for his arrival, as if he was used to it. The only reaction was to frown subconsciously.
But she still had to stand up and greet her respectfully.
"The emperor is auspicious." She bowed slightly.
Shangguan Junye stretched out his hand to help her up.
Tang Yuan got up, like her guardian beast, and never left.
No matter how many times he came to Guan Ju Palace, Tang Yuan was always hostile to the man in front of him.
It bared its teeth at him, and Ah Jiu scolded lightly: "Don't be rude! β
Tang Yuan grunted, restrained his emotions, and obediently squatted at her feet.
Shangguan Junye stared at Tang Yuan with a calm expression.
Seeing this, Ah Jiu hurriedly invited him to sit over: "Your Majesty, sit down." β
Tang Yuan didn't like him, and he didn't seem to like Tang Yuan either.
After all, it is on other people's territory, and Ah Jiu is afraid that one day the emperor will be unhappy, so he will really let it become a "meat-filled rice ball".
"Your Majesty, he's been quite idle for a while." Ah Jiu's smile was bright and decent, but he lacked a little enthusiasm.
Shangguan Junye sometimes feels that he is making a mistake. Go to other concubines, who is not flattered, smiling, soft-spoken, coquettish, and serving him thoughtfully.
Here, she treats herself, how can she be like a husband and wife, that posture and attitude, it is clearly polite and polite, with a trace of alienation.
"No matter how busy you are, you have to find time to see Concubine Ai every day." Shangguan Junye smiled like a stream.
Ah Jiu: "......"
Shangguan Junye said: "In Concubine Ai, I can always forget my political troubles. β
Because, chatting with her, emotions are easy to be driven, and there is no time to think about other things.
"You're gone, your worries have been transferred to me." Ah Jiu muttered.
"What is Concubine Ai talking about?" He didn't hear clearly.
"Ahem, nothing." Ah Jiu uncovered the Gu flower brew, picked up the spoon, and asked symbolically, "Does the emperor want to drink it?" β
Knowing that he didn't like sweets, she asked politely.
But he replied, "Yes." β
Ah Jiu was stunned and looked at him suspiciously.
Shangguan Junye couldn't help but feel funny when he saw her strange face: "What, you are reluctant to give me a drink?" β
Ah Jiu came back to his senses and said, "No." It's just that...... Didn't the emperor always eat these sweet and greasy things? β
"Every time I come here, I see that you drink with relish, and I suddenly want to taste it. Sometimes, a change of taste may have a different kind of surprise. He replied to her with her original words.
Ah Jiu was silent, pursed his lips, and asked Yu'er to fetch a bowl.
Liu Er on the side looked strange, as if she was a little nervous and twisted the corners of her clothes, and lowered her eyes, but she secretly looked back and forth, as if she was uneasy.
After a while, Yu'er brought a bowl and a spoon.
Ah Jiu divided it and brought it to him.
A sweet smell permeates the nose, and the breeze blows into the heart.
Just as the emperor was about to drink it, suddenly Liu Er shouted: "Your Majestyβ"
Shangguan Junye's hand paused slightly, frowned, and raised his eyes to look over.
Ah Jiu also looked at her.
Liu Er's expression stiffened when they looked at her. His mouth squirmed, as if he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be stuck.
Ah Jiu asked, "What's the matter, surprised?" β
Liu Er swallowed her saliva and said bitterly: "Slave maid, slave maid mean ...... Be careful with scalding. β
When Yu'er heard this, she secretly pulled down her sleeve and whispered, "Liu'er, what are you doing!" Don't disturb the interest of the emperor and his mother! β
Ah Jiu looked at her thoughtfully, slowly hooked his lips, and smiled very secretly, "If this palace is not mistaken, this seems to be cold honey soup." β
She made a point of emphasizing the word "chilled".
The corners of Liu Er's mouth froze, looking embarrassed and panicked.
That strange look made Shangguan Junye suspicious.
"What, there's something wrong with this soup?"
Ah Jiu's eyes stared sharply at Liu Er's trembling face and flickering eyes, then turned to Shangguan Junye, suddenly reached over, flicked his sleeve inadvertently, and then said, "Well, Your Majesty, there seems to be dust in this soup, so don't drink it." β
Shangguan Junye frowned, glanced at it, and saw that there was really dirty things floating on the soup noodles.
Ah Jiu smiled calmly and instructed Yu'er: "Take the soup down and pour it." β
"Yes." Yu'er didn't show her face, and served the Gu soup with a calm and respectful face.
Ah Jiu squinted at the anxious Liu'er, and said lightly: "You don't have to wait here, go down." β
Liu Er raised her eyes to look at her, a trace of weakness flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly lowered her head, bowed and bowed to leave.
Shangguan Junye still frowned, looked at the back of the palace maid thoughtfully, and said with a calm face: "There is something wrong with your maidservant." β
Ah Jiu smiled and said, "The emperor is too worried. β
Shangguan Junye looked at her. After pondering for a moment, he seemed to remember something, and said, "This is the Queen Mother's dispatch." β
Ah Jiu nodded and said with a smile: "Thanks to the emperor's blessing, the Queen Mother is very concerned about her concubines. β
Shangguan Junye: "......"
He wouldn't fail to hear the sarcasm in her words.
"I'll send you a palace maid again."
Ah Jiu smiled faintly, carelessly stroked Tang Yuan's head, and said, "No need." The concubines felt that they served them very well. β
"You ......," he seemed to say something, but had other concerns.
He stared fixedly at her nonchalant expression. thought to herself, the Queen Mother had prejudices against her, and she would not be defenseless.
He almost forgot that the "Feng Qingge" in front of him was no longer the weak woman who was soft and weak, attached to him, and needed his protection.
However, her relaxed attitude is too light and confident. Although he didn't say it, he knew very well in his heart that there was also a war between the harem.
"Your Majesty, what do you want to say?"
Shangguan Junye narrowed his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "It's nothing, in short, if there is anything difficult, just tell me." β
Ah Jiu said: "Well, there's nothing wrong. β
Shangguan Junye frowned again, staring at her with a somewhat displeased expression.
Did she really think she didn't know anything?
He just kept quiet, trying to see when she would take the initiative to speak to him. However, she always acted like nothing and turned a blind eye to the pranks.
There is no need for his feelings at all...... It's really frustrating!
"Is there really anything wrong?" He asked in a deep voice.
Ah Jiu raised his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and looked at him in confusion, "Isn't the concubine sitting in front of the emperor in a good manner, what can she do?" With the emperor's grace, long live long live, the concubines will definitely be blessed and live a long life. β
Shangguan Junye felt that her words sounded very uncomfortable.
He didn't like to hear her say anything at all.
As soon as she used the honorific, he felt that the distance between the two was very far.
"Do you really know nothing?"
Ah Jiu blinked, pretending to be stupid.
"Those dead rats, bloody puppets." He reminded her.
Ah Jiu suddenly realized, "Oh...... That's what the emperor is referring to. It's just some boring prank. β
Her breezy tone made him a little angry. I don't know if it's because of her lack of vigilance, or because of her distrust. She hadn't thought of looking for him at all.
"Is it a trivial matter for you to even poison your food?"
Ah Jiu pretended to be surprised, his eyes widened, "The emperor is very 'concerned' about the concubines!" β
Even the emperor's eyeliner is there, tsk, this Guan Ju Palace is attracting much attention! However, she just wanted to keep it low-key.
Alas, it's nerve-wracking. Everyone "cares" about her so much, and it is difficult for her to move an inch.
She said: "What kind of poisoning, don't listen to those rumors." Who is so bold as to dare to poison here! The concubine was indeed a little unwell at this time, but it was just a ...... It's just that the water and soil are not adapted. β
Shangguan Junye: "......"
The reason for not adapting to the soil and water is not convincing.
Ah Jiu said again: "Your Majesty, there will be some small conflicts between women, and the concubines will deal with them." If a man intervenes, it will intensify the trivial matter and become out of control. β
She paused and continued: "The emperor should also know that these things will happen, in the final analysis, why? It's just a woman's jealousy. So, warning and punishment alone will not work. One concubine fell, and thousands of concubines stood up. To put an end to this phenomenon, unless......"
Shangguan Junye squinted, as if he knew what she wanted to say, and directly refused: "Don't think about it if you want to." β
The corners of Ah Jiu's mouth twitched, and then he shrugged. She just mentioned it casually, and she didn't have much hope anyway.
But then again, "Your Majesty, I'm really curious, what are you running to me every day and pretending to be in love with me?" β
When she didn't want to answer his questions, she usually played an official tone, and brought out the palace rules and etiquette in a perfunctory manner. And when she wanted to ask a question, she revealed her true nature and asked very directly.
"Outfit?" Shangguan Junye looked at her with deep eyes, and said meaningfully: "This is not pretending, but improving." β
Ah Jiu looked at his eyes that suddenly became serious and persistent, and his heart chuckled.
She turned a blind eye and said, "Why don't you say that the emperor is tempting." β
"Temptation?"
Ah Jiu smiled and didn't point out: "The concubine thinks that the emperor is probably going to waste his efforts." β
Shangguan is so shrewd, how could he easily fall into his trap?
Moreover, he had already warned her with all kinds of hints. In fact, Ah Jiu felt that his move was very redundant. For this emperor, she has no interest in it at all.
Well, the only thing of interest is probably his treasury.
"Aifei seems to be full of confidence."
Ah Jiu looked at him and didn't answer, the topic jumped abruptly, "Your Majesty, can the concubine have a request?" β
"Say."
"This glutinous rice ball is trapped in the palace, and he is about to hold back his depression. The concubine wants to apply on its behalf and expand the scope of activities? β
Shangguan Junye was stunned and smiled lightly: "Yes." β
"But the concubine is afraid that if it goes out, it will scare others."
Shangguan Junye glanced at her without a trace, and then said, "Behind the palace, there is a viewing mountain, you can take it to that activity." β
