Chapter 169: Saruman and the Orcs
Gu Hui came in from outside the palace gate early in the morning with such a high profile, and according to the speed of the spread of messages in the palace, the lord of each palace knew that the third princess had spent the night outside yesterday.
Xu Liren had just asked the queen to go out, but was blocked by Concubine Liu.
After so many years, Concubine Liu is still no different from before, well-maintained, and arrogant.
Looking at Concubine Liu's bright and bright appearance, a trace of jealousy flashed in the eyes of the concubine next to her.
Concubine Liu was just a maid, and she didn't know where to find so many good recipes.
It has been maintained so well for so many years. There are no traces of time on his face at all, no wonder he was able to hook the emperor.
The envious eyes of the concubines Liu Gui looked at them in their eyes, and snorted softly, very proud.
She spends at least two hours a day caring for her skin, except for the emperor who went to Yikun Palace, the rest of the time she went to bed early.
With such careful care, even if she gives birth to three children, she can have delicate skin like a girl, which woman in this palace has her pampering?
Eyes skimmed over Xu Liren, who was dressed in blue and stood in the middle of the concubines with outstanding temperament, Liu Guifei snorted coldly, and touched the hairpin on her head quite proudly, and her tone was raised, with a seductive charm.
"I heard that the third princess spent the night outside yesterday and didn't return to the palace, Concubine Shu, you are her mother after all, you still have to teach the third princess well.
It's better for the girl's family to keep to themselves, and spend the night outside, and they are not afraid of tarnishing the reputation of the royal princess, if they can't marry in the future... Don't take our little two with you. ”
Xu Liren lifted her eyelids lightly, straightened her waist and stood in the middle, not letting in the slightest.
"Thank you for the third princess, this matter was explained to the emperor, and the emperor also specially sent guards to follow, so I don't have to worry about it.
As for the reputation of the second princess, I heard that the second princess is often assigned by her mother to send things to Liufu, and she has rested in Liufu several times, is it also counted as spending the night outside? …… Not to mention anything else, our family's junior still has an excellent reputation among the people. ”
"You!"
Liu Guifei angrily pointed at Xu Liren with one hand, and the sharp armor on her finger almost poked Xu Liren's nose, and grinned.
"Are you using the emperor to pressure me, this palace wants to see if the emperor favors me more or is you a concubine?"
Xu Liren stood in place without any fear, slowly lifted her eyelids, and looked straight at Liu Guifei.
"The concubine naturally didn't dare to compete with the concubine Niangniang, but the concubine's words were too damning, and the concubine naturally had to refute one or two for the sake of the reputation of the third princess.
The noble daughter of the heavenly family, born noble, how can she not get married? The emperor and the queen will naturally call the shots for the princesses, what does the mother say? ”
Concubine Liu gritted her back molars and looked at Xu Liren fiercely, although the princess's marriage should be decided by the queen in a general sense, but which one is not favored by their mothers, and then ordered by the queen, the princesses have always listened to their mothers.
But since Gu Xiaola ran out of Liu Guifei's palace crying on the eighth day, he was not as obedient as before.
Concubine Shu's words were inserted in the tip of Concubine Liu's heart.
"You're good! Hongu remembered. ”
Xu Liren saluted lightly, did not pay attention to Liu Guifei's cruel words at all, and smiled slightly.
"The Nine Emperors and the Ten Princes are still waiting for their concubines in the Chuxiu Palace, and the concubines will retire first."
Looking at the back of Xu Liren leaving, Liu Guifei was so angry that she took off the hairpin on her head and threw it on the ground.
"Okay, you are a lady, you have climbed up in the past few years, and you don't take this palace in your eyes. Wait, sooner or later, this palace will have a way to cure you. ”
Holding the maid's hand, he turned his head violently.
"Go back to the palace, don't pick it up, isn't it just a hairpin? There are many of these things...... Go and call the second princess. ”
Unlike the upcoming battle in Yikun Palace, Chuxiu Palace at this time was peaceful.
Gu Hui sat in his position and grabbed things fiercely with Erbao, looking at the last egg yolk cake on the table, the two glanced at each other, and sparks flew everywhere.
Invariably, they stretched out their chopsticks and staged a big battle on the plate.
Dabao opened his eyes wide, looking at the childish behavior of his sister and younger brother, and shook his head silently.
Stretch out your chopsticks and put the last piece of mayonnaise in the bowl.
Xu Liren covered her mouth and smiled happily, she only felt that it was so good now, and she only hoped that their family of four could be happy like this forever.
"I've heard your voices from afar, what are you doing?"
The four of them hurriedly stood up, and even Dabao Erbao saluted decently.
"Son-in-law, see father."
"The concubines see the emperor."
Gu Zhi hugged Xu Liren with a smile, and his voice was gentle, "Concubine Ai doesn't have to be so polite, this is breakfast?" It just so happened that I didn't eat enough in the morning, so I used some with my three children. ”
Xu Liren smiled and nodded, "Go and prepare a pair of dishes and chopsticks for the emperor." ”
Gu Hui ran over and hugged Gu Zhi's leg with an enthusiastic face, "Father, Ling'er misses you so much!" ”
Gu Zhi squatted and pinched Gu Hui's nose, "You little girl, didn't you meet your father when you left the palace yesterday?" Could it be that it is not seen for another day, as if it were every other autumn? ”
Although he said this, the expression on his face was very happy, and it was obvious that he was very useful for his daughter's clinginess.
Gu Hui opened his eyes in surprise, covered his mouth with his two hands, his eyes turned around, and his expression was very vivid.
"How does Father know what people are going to say next? How can he be so smart, he deserves to be the most powerful father in the world. ”
Erbao:(¬_¬)
Gu Zhi laughed out loud, amused by the little girl's rogue performance, and only felt that the chest that was so angry with those ministers was soothed a lot this morning.
pinched Gu Hui's nose again.
"You, sure enough, it's my pistachio."
Gu Hui shook his head very proudly, happily hugging Gu Zhi with a proud face.
"Of course, I like my father the most."
"Oh?"
Speaking of this, Gu Zhi seemed to suddenly think of something, and deliberately lengthened his tone.
"How did I hear that our Changning likes the crown prince the most!"
⊙∀⊙!
Gu Hui innocently opened his big eyes.
"Is there one?"
“…… Some. ”
Gu Hui thought about it hard, as if he ...... The last time I was studying in the East Palace, I was talking about it.
Rolling his eyes in a panic, he thought about it.
Let's chirp~
Gu Hui wrapped his hand around Gu Zhi's neck, and his little face was very well-behaved, full of flattering smiles.
"Ling'er likes the prince's brother the most, but her favorite is her father!"
Gu Zhi didn't buy it at all, took the handkerchief handed over by Su Lide, and snorted arrogantly.
"Is that a favorite?"
Gu Hui opened his mouth and wanted to deny it, but he inadvertently saw Xu Liren smiling, and Dabao Erbao with an expectant face.
swallowed the words in his mouth, stomped his feet helplessly, turned around and looked at Gu Zhi obliquely.
He raised his head arrogantly and snorted coldly.
"How can my father do this...... Hmph, Ling'er is no longer the treasure of her father! ”
