Chapter Eighty-Seven: Concubine Su's Cousin
After listening to Princess Lan's words, the smile on Concubine Su's face instantly fell.
"Princess Lan, what you mean is clear in this palace, but I was also forced, they didn't let me have a better time first, and in order to survive, I can only learn to calculate."
Gu Ningyan frowned and listened to Concubine Su's explanation, and didn't speak again, but in her heart, she understood Concubine Su, but she still couldn't understand what she was doing.
Seeing that Princess Lan didn't speak, Concubine Su continued: "Princess Lan, didn't you ruin the Gu family, Prime Minister Gu, and your sister in order to survive, didn't you?" ”
"I didn't expect it, is Concubine Su's investigation quite clear? Do you mean to say that you are learning from me? The corners of Gu Ningyan's mouth twitched, and a shallow evil smile looked at Concubine Su.
Concubine Su curled the corners of her mouth, and also smiled back, and Jinpa wiped the corners of her mouth, "Princess Lan, don't you hate the queen?" Don't you hate the Lan family? The two of them are also enemies of the Qiu family, don't you want to take revenge? ”
The corners of Gu Ningyan's eyes rose, and he finally understood in his heart, so he was here, "Concubine Su, I will take revenge myself, but it's not like you, you don't want me to help you get rid of the queen, right?" ”
Concubine Su nodded silently, which was considered to be a response to Princess Lan.
didn't get Concubine Su's words, Gu Ningyan smiled at Concubine Su and returned to King Lan's side.
Princess Lan didn't answer, Concubine Su couldn't get it, did she agree or not? But after seeing her bending down to talk to King Lan, King Lan looked at her fierce gaze, Concubine Su's heart trembled a little, and she obediently returned to the emperor's side.
"Your Majesty, the concubine wants to prepare a dance, which is choreographed by the concubine, I don't know if the emperor wants to see it?"
The emperor's face was full of joy when he heard this, "Okay, I didn't know that Concubine Su would even choreograph?" ”
Concubine Su shyly covered her smile, "Actually, the concubine just wants to make the emperor happy, and besides, it is the concubine's distant cousin who is dancing, she has recently arrived in the imperial city, and the concubine specially brought her into the palace to accompany the concubine, without informing the emperor in advance, and I hope you will forgive you." ”
The emperor smiled and helped up Concubine Su, who was kneeling in front of him, clasped her hands and comforted, "It's okay, Concubine Su, your cousin can enter the palace directly." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
While speaking, the eunuch had already led several women with light gauze and bright makeup, and the leader wore a red veil to cover half of his face, revealing only a pair of eyes that hooked the soul, and the graceful dance really made people's hearts boil.
Rao is Gu Ningyan is fascinated by all women, not to mention the emperor and the other men present, thinking that their hearts should be hot.
Out of curiosity, Gu Ningyan touched Wei Qianlan's arm with her elbow, "Lord Wang, what do you think of her jumping?" ”
Wei Qianlan's eyes were fixed on the woman opposite, as if he hadn't heard Gu Ningyan's words.
didn't get a response, Gu Ningyan angrily pinched Wei Qianlan a few times underneath.
Wei Qianlan, who was pinched, suddenly woke up under the drive of pain, looked at the princess beside him and asked lightly, "What's the trouble?" ”
"The prince was fascinated by it, and the concubine reminded the prince not to be rude." Gu Ningyan gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile, but his eyes were obviously slightly angry.
Wei Qianlan's eyes flashed with a smile, "What, is Ning Yan jealous?" ”
Gu Ningyan looked stunned, picked up the tea in front of him and drank it all, "Just kidding, how can I be jealous, if the prince likes it, I can ask Concubine Su to take it back to the palace." ”
Wei Qianlan heard that her princess was talking angrily, so she suddenly wanted to tease her, and her face showed regret, "It's a pity, maybe the emperor doesn't want to let go." ”
"What?" Gu Ningyan tilted his head and didn't hear Wei Qianlan's words clearly.
Wei Qianlan raised her chin and motioned for her to look at the emperor next to her.
Gu Ningyan looked at King Lan's line of sight, it turned out that the emperor at this time was completely confused, a pair of eyes exuding lust were staring at the woman in red who was in the lead, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart, ruthless is the most emperor.
King Zhen, who was the closest, heard the conversation between Uncle Lan and Huang Huang, so he leaned over his head and said, "Aunt Lan, this king seems to be fascinated by his father's eyes?" ”
Gu Ningyan smiled and quietly replied to King Zhen, "King Zhen, it seems that you are going to prepare a congratulatory gift for your father." ”
"Isn't this Concubine Su worried about being robbed of her favor by her cousin?" King Zhen is also very clever to ask questions.
Listening to King Zhen's words, Gu Ningyan smiled, King Zhen's words reminded her, could it be that Concubine Su wanted to treat the emperor... She didn't dare to say anything after that.
"Why do I think Concubine Su's cousin's eyes are so familiar?" Gu Ningyan felt that those exposed eyes were very familiar from the beginning.
"You know?"
When King Zhen heard this, he tilted his head and listened silently.
"Lord Wang, you should also know a woman in red."
Hearing her words, Wei Qianlan and her own princess glanced at each other, and their minds were instantaneous
A figure appeared between them, and it seemed to understand, "Red Sleeves." ”
Gu Ningyan nodded in response to King Lan, "If it's really her, then what does Concubine Su want to do to the emperor?" ”
"Let's not care who it is, let's see what Concubine Su means, right?"
Listening to Wei Qianlan's words, Gu Ningyan's eyes looked at Concubine Su beside the emperor. Just met Concubine Su's calculating gaze, Su Lingruo, what do you want to do?
Concubine Su responded to Princess Lan's speculation with a smug gaze.
A dance falls.
The woman in red at the head stepped forward with a weak and boneless waist, "The people's girl with red sleeves to meet the emperor." ”
The emperor is still unsatisfied, "The red-sleeved girl, please get up." After greeting the red sleeves, the emperor looked at Concubine Su beside him, "Concubine Ai, your lantern festival is really good, the dance is also good, and the people are even better." ”
Concubine Su walked down, came to her cousin's side, helped her take off the red veil, and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, do you think this red-sleeved cousin of the concubine is not good." ”
The emperor stretched his neck, and with the help of the reflection of the lanterns around him, he saw a beautiful and tender white woman, and swallowed it in his throat.
Regarding the emperor's performance, the princes on the scene, and other people could see it clearly, and the emperor was tempted.
"Father." The fifth prince, Wei Luofeng, sat aside and reminded his father who was in confusion.
King Zhen also understood the reminder of the five princes, so he motioned to the side concubines beside him to speak.
Wen Xia got the meaning of King Zhen, and said to Concubine Su with envious eyes: "Concubine Su, the dance you choreographed is really pleasing to the eye, and Miss Red Sleeves dances beautifully, and Wen Xia is fascinated by it." ”
"Concubine Zhen is right, I also think so, the swaying posture of the red sleeve dance, the posture is graceful, the dance posture is elegant, and it is very beautiful." The emperor followed Wen Xia's words and praised the red sleeves without hesitation.
After the emperor's appreciation, the red sleeves moved his pace and slowly stepped forward to thank him. "Thank you Emperor Miao for praise, the people dare not be ashamed, in fact, it is thanks to Concubine Su's teaching that there will be a people girl tonight."
"Your Majesty, the concubine wants to keep red sleeves and accompany the concubine in the palace for a while, but the queen mother has no one to see at the moment, so she has no choice but to ask the emperor for you, and I hope the emperor will fulfill it." Concubine Su took advantage of the emperor's happiness to propose tonight's purpose.
The emperor was very happy when he heard this, waved his hand, and agreed, "Red sleeves will stay in the palace to accompany Concubine Su, and you can ask Concubine Su if you have any requests." Recently, the queen has been unwell, and no one in the harem has been dealing with it, so Concubine Su is tired, so help the queen deal with the affairs of the harem. ”
"The concubine obeys."
"The people's daughter, thank you to the emperor."
The two sisters thanked God with great satisfaction.
Gu Ningyan understood that Concubine Su was taking the power of the queen's harem, and then, at the moment when she turned around on the red sleeves, the two looked at each other, and she saw the red sleeves smug and smiled at herself, as if she was trying to express something.
"Your Majesty, it's not early, the minister and the princess retreat first." Wei Qianlan felt the impetuousness of the princess beside her, so she said goodbye to the emperor.
"Father, the son has also retired."
After Wei Qianlan finished speaking, King Zhen also followed King Lan's words and prepared to leave the palace.
The emperor was immersed in the conversation with Red Sleeves at the moment, and he was unclear about the words of King Lan and King Zhen, "What's wrong with King Lan and King Zhen, the Lantern Festival is not over yet." ”
"Your Majesty, it's really a problem for the courtiers, the courtiers have been very unwell recently, so they want to go back and rest early." Gu Ningyan took a step forward and explained to the emperor.
Concubine Su smiled and looked at Princess Lan's stomach and asked, "Is Princess Lan uncomfortable, is there good news, I see Princess Lan's face is flushed and shiny." ”
"Is what Concubine Su said true, King Lan, Princess Lan." The emperor admitted it solemnly
Really asked King Lan and Princess Lan.
"Thank you for the care of the emperor and Concubine Su, the minister and Ning Yan have not prepared yet, and our husband and wife are ready to have free time to go out and walk all over the mountains and rivers."
The emperor listened to King Lan's explanation as always, his brows furrowed and he didn't say anything more, but just persuaded him, "King Lan, don't just think about yourself, let's start a branch for our royal family as soon as possible." ”
"Yes." Gu Ningyan agreed to the emperor from the emperor's instructions.
…
After returning to the palace, Gu Ningyan hung the rabbit lantern sent by Wei Xun at the head of the bed, and after washing, Sixiang appeared in time.
"Master, tonight someone sneaked into the Qiu family to explore the dry well of the Divine Spring."
Listening to Sixiang's words, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Gu Ningyan's mouth, "I know who it is, no wonder she looks proud in the palace tonight." ”
The four elephants were confused, puzzled and asked the contemplative master. "Master, my subordinates don't understand your words."
"You don't need to understand, you go to the palace tonight, and you will come back to tell me any news." She didn't think it would be quiet tonight, maybe there would be a scene.
Sixiang understands her master, she won't let herself go to the palace if she has nothing to do, and she will take the explanation given by her master. "Master, you rest first, and then your subordinates go down
。 ”
After Gu Ningyan lay down, her body became more and more tired, and at the moment when she closed her eyes in a daze, she seemed to see someone open the door and walk in, and only Wei Qianlan should be able to come in in a bright light.
When he woke up on the second day, Gu Ningyan felt that his head was sore and his limbs were weak, so he walked out of bed with heavy legs, put on his clothes, opened the door, and beckoned to the maid outside, "Bring the washing water." ”
"Princess, you are up, and the slave will go to serve water immediately."
Wei Qianlan turned his wheelchair and walked out of the study next to him, and when he saw Gu Ningyan's tired appearance, he frowned and asked, "You are sick, do you want to find a doctor to take a look?" ”
"Maybe I got cold last night, and you said you didn't help me cover some quilts when you came in last night."
After Gu Ningyan finished speaking, Wei Qianlan was silent.
She didn't understand, and said, "Why do you have a surprised expression?" ”
After a moment of silence, Wei Qianlan replied faintly, "I was in the study last night. ”
