Chapter Twenty-Six: The False Attendant

The Queen Mother was the first to react, "Hurry up and ask the emperor to come in." ”

Looking at the expression of the Queen Mother, she seemed to be surprised, why did the emperor come here.

After all, it is the seventh prince and the seventh princess, and when he was close to the queen mother, the emperor came over at this time, didn't he intervene?

Of course, this is just Chu Shuyao's own speculation. She always felt that if she wasn't biological, she wouldn't be sincerely.

Maybe the emperor and the queen mother are really in love with mother and son? After all, the emperor has been raised by the queen mother since he was born? Feelings, there must be.

The emperor came in, and everyone except the queen mother saluted the emperor. And after others saluted the emperor, the emperor saluted the queen mother.

"Sons and daughters, see the queen mother."

"The emperor should not be polite. The affairs of the previous dynasty were busy, why did the emperor have time to come? The smile on the Queen Mother's face was too bright, and even if it was properly maintained, the wrinkles were squeezed out.

This smile, although it has a bit of sincerity, is exaggerated!

The smile he showed when he was facing the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Princess was just right.

The Queen Mother is so old, and she still has to squeeze out such a deep smile, which is really embarrassing for her.

After the emperor sat down, he saw Jing Guiren and asked curiously, "Jing Guiren is also here?" ”

Jing Guiren replied respectfully, "The concubine has a string of Buddhist beads, which was specially given to the Queen Mother. ”

"Oh." The emperor answered, and there was no follow-up.

The emperor said a few words to the queen mother, and a few words to the seventh prince, and he will leave soon, after all, the emperor has a lot of opportunities and is busy with official business.

Before leaving, I didn't forget to call Jing Guiren, "If Jing Guiren is fine, it is better to go with me!" I miss the pastries made by the Jing nobles. ”

"It's good if the emperor likes it." Jing Guiren immediately put on a smile.

Jing Guiren followed the emperor step by step, but she was wondering in her heart how she would call Yurun if the emperor directly asked her to make pastries in Cheng'en Palace.

After all, the only snack she sent to the emperor that day was the horseshoe cake made by her. And the purpose of her hands-on work is to teach Yurun. As long as Yurun learns it, it will be convenient for her to eat it in the future, right?

She never thought she would have to cook for herself in the future.

The emperor said that if you don't like water chestnut cake, then naturally you won't miss water chestnut cake? Excluding the water chestnut cake, she won't make other pastries?

She regretted a little that she didn't bring out the jade run.

"Jade Craft." Jing Guiren muttered quietly.

"What do you command?" Jade is like a great enemy. It must be something important to make the nobles not forget their orders in front of the emperor.

"Do you know how to make pastries?" Jing Guiren asked quietly.

Oh, my God! The noble man actually asked her if she could make pastries? She heard her right, right? The emperor is just ahead! Actually scared her for this little thing! It's overkill!

"Yes!" Jade replied.

"Oh." Jing Guiren turned around and was relieved. The steps of walking are a lot brisker.

Jing Guiren overlooked his head, and without seeing it for a while, he bumped into the emperor's back.

It hurts! It just hit her nose, and tears are coming out of her eyes at this time?

But although she was in pain, she still had to apologize to the culprit emperor, "The concubine is guilty, please punish the emperor!" ”

pleaded guilty on his lips, but he was secretly scolding in his heart, walking well, why did he stop suddenly!

But this backbone is really hard? This emperor doesn't look thin, it should be all muscles, right?

Those who practice martial arts are like this!

The emperor touched her head and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”

This sudden tenderness and sweetness, Chu Shuyao was a little overwhelmed? What's wrong with the emperor?

However, that feeling just now reminded her of the time when the emperor saved her in Dengyun Tower that day.

It also warmed her heart.

At the same time, she scolded herself in her heart for being unproductive, and she actually had a good impression of the emperor of the Tanglin Kingdom, her enemy.

Sure enough, women are emotional animals, and there is no such decisiveness as men!

The emperor did not take her to the Cheng'en Palace, nor did he let her make pastries. Instead, he took her to the imperial study.

The Emperor asked her to stand aside and sharpen the ink.

She can grind ink, but she is not skilled enough.

In the past in the Western Chu Kingdom, it was the palace people who helped her polish it. This kind of Raushzi, where can she do it herself?

Ah! It's late autumn, why is it still so hot. It's very hot, and maybe it will rain later. At this time, she was looking forward to the rain. If it rains, she goes to the edge of the pond to feel the artistic conception of "leaving the residual lotus to listen to the sound of the rain".

That scene is cool to think about.

As she thought, she wiped the sweat from her forehead that wasn't there. She's so hot!

This kind of work is too much of a waste of physical strength. She couldn't even breathe.

The emperor looked up at her, then looked at her carefully, and then stared at her again.

Chu Shuyao was stunned and stammered, "The emperor... Emperor... Is there anything on the concubine's face? ”

She subconsciously raised her hand to wipe it, and after wiping it, she found that the side of her little finger was stained with ink.

No wonder the emperor stared at her? She must have already smeared the ink on her face just now.

Just now, she wiped it casually, and her face was naturally more.

Oh, my God! Isn't her face full of ink? Thinking that she actually showed such honor in front of Mu Lingxuan, she immediately panicked.

"Ahh Chu Shuyao screamed, and then quickly stopped screaming. This is in the Imperial Study! It's not her Biluo Palace, and she can't be presumptuous.

She hurriedly asked the emperor for her guilt, "The concubine is out of order, please forgive the emperor." Please allow the concubine to go... Go wash your face..."She didn't even know what to say.

"Don't move." The emperor suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong? Emperor? ”

Jing Guiren wondered, but the emperor only stared at her.

Finally, the emperor laughed, "I see, I see!" ”

Jing Guiren was even more puzzled, she looked at the emperor with a confused expression.

The emperor asked her, "Is your family married to the Marquis of Yongchang?" ”

Yongchang Marquis Mansion? Are you talking about Gu Beicheng? That's Shen Xian? They can be regarded as married, right? So Jing Guiren replied, "Yes! ”

"The prince of the Marquis of Yongchang Mansion has a great relationship with the Seventh Prince, presumably the Seventh Prince should have also been to the Shen family, right? Have you ever seen it when you were at home? ”

How did the emperor ask this? Could it be that he guessed something? If he knew, he wouldn't be able to hide it. It's better to make the emperor angry than the crime of bullying the king, right?

Jing Guiren thought like this, so he replied, "Yes, when the concubine was at home, she saw the prince of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion and the seventh prince. ”

"That's it." The emperor seemed to laugh meaningfully.

Then he straightened his face again, and said sharply, "You are so bold! ”

Jing Guiren's heart trembled, and he knelt down directly. "The concubine didn't know what she had done wrong, which made the emperor angry. The concubine is guilty, please punish the emperor! ”

"Hmph, I don't know what I've done wrong. He also said that he was guilty, and asked me to punish him. What Jing Guiren said is a contradiction! ”

Jing Guiren looked trembling, and he didn't dare to say a word of argument.

"Alright, get up!" The emperor suddenly softened his tone.

When Jing Guiren was puzzled, the emperor asked again, "You already recognized it, right?" ”

"If it weren't for the ink on your face today, I wouldn't have recognized it?"

"No wonder the Seventh Prince asked me for you, it turns out that he already knew?"

The emperor's words, Jing Guiren was stunned when he heard them. What did she recognize a long time ago, and the emperor recognized it?

If she hadn't been covered in ink today? That's what the emperor said, right?

So, did the emperor recognize that she was the one who saved her in Dengyun Tower that day?

made a decision immediately, and Jing Guiren knelt down again, "Thank you for the emperor's grace to save your life that day." The emperor is right, the concubine has indeed recognized it a long time ago. It's just that he didn't have the opportunity, and he didn't dare to explain it to the emperor. ”

"For the emperor, it's just a matter of saving people. But for concubines, the grace of saving lives cannot be repaid! Only in the next life, I can be a cow and a horse to repay the life-saving benefactor. ”

"Why do you say that?" The emperor asked.

"Because the concubine didn't expect that day, the person who saved the concubine would be the emperor! The concubine is going to enter the palace for the draft, so naturally she can't repay her benefactor. ”

"And now?" The emperor asked again.

"Now..."Jing Guiren suddenly cried with joy, "Since she knew that the emperor was the concubine's life-saving benefactor, the concubine was very excited. Concubines can not only repay their life-saving benefactors, but also live up to the emperor's grace. This is a two-pronged thing, but it was actually bumped into by a concubine, and the concubine is really lucky! ”

When Jing Guiren said this, he was moved by emotion and burst into tears.

The emperor just smiled, "This is what the world often says, there is no way to repay the grace of saving lives, but to make a promise with oneself?" ”

Jing Guiren also laughed.

The emperor asked her again, "Why did you go to see the Queen Mother today?" ”

"Concubine...... The concubine happened to have a string of Buddhist beads to give to the Queen Mother. Jing Guiren said cautiously. For fear that if one sentence is inappropriate, the emperor will suspect that she went to the Queen Mother's palace just to see the Seventh Prince.

The conscience of heaven and earth, the last thing she wants to see is the Seventh Prince.

Fortunately, the emperor did not continue to ask. "Let's change our clothes!"

Only then did Jing Guiren realize that his cuffs were already full of thick black ink.

Jing Guiren accompanied him in the imperial study, and when he came out, he actually changed a set of clothes.

The palace began to gossip. It is said that Jing nobles are not ashamed.

This incident caused a stir in the palace and was spread outside the palace. Even the speech officials are discussing to make a proposal to the emperor.

After all, it's a blue sky and a white day, and that's the imperial study!

Jing Guiren was really aggrieved, she was obviously just stained with a lot of ink on her clothes, so she just changed a set of clothes.

But that's all for later.

In the evening of the same day, the emperor also summoned the nobles to sleep.

Although she had been mentally prepared before entering the palace, now that she has reached this point, it is still difficult to accept it in her heart.

After all, the Western Chu Kingdom raised her to such a big age because of its delicious food and drink, not to let the Tanglin Kingdom come and spoil it.

But what can she do? Now she is just the concubine of the Tanglin Kingdom!

Say you're sick? No! Isn't it okay in the afternoon?

Say you've come to a good thing? This method may be a try. But if the grandmother in the palace wants to come to groom and dress her, she will still be discovered.

After she was washed, she was sent to the Cheng'en Palace, and the emperor was ready to deceive herself. Suddenly, she felt a warm current flow from her lower abdomen.

The emperor was stunned, she saw that the emperor was stunned, and she was also stunned.

I saw that my snow-white bedclothes were already red.

She showed a flattering smile and said flatteringly, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, the concubine didn't expect it." Xu is concubine is too excited, so... So the menstrual affair happened to come at this time. ”

"The concubines can't serve the emperor, the emperor should go to the other concubines!"

Jing Guiren got up and wanted to leave. The emperor held her down.

Jing Guiren had a stirring spirit in his heart, and the emperor still wanted to fight bloodily. This desire is too strong, isn't it?
