Chapter 236: Jokes
A sentence of Jin Yang pulled everyone back to reality from shock, and Zhao Xuan looked at Hua Qingrao fixedly, looking a little dazed.
The queen glanced at Hua Qingrao and the envoys of Beiyan, who were still saluting, and hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Everyone! ”
Zhao Xuan shook his senses, waved his hand and said, "Princess, please get up." His voice was flat with a slight trill.
After Hua Qingrao and the envoys of Beiyan sat down, Shu Meiren got up elegantly, with a quiet smile on her face, raised the wine glass in her hand and said to Hua Qingrao with a smile: "The concubine has a shallow vision, I have never heard of the name of Princess Jinyang, and I ask the princess to forgive her sins." The concubine toasted the princess with a glass of wine to show reparation. ”
Hua Qingrao looked at her still unchanged stunning face, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and she didn't get up, but said lightly: "Jin Yang was infected with wind and cold because of running around for days, and the accompanying imperial doctor explained that he couldn't drink alcohol." ”
The envoy of Beiyan secretly pinched his sweat, and said for Hua Qingrao: "The princess is delicate and cold, so she really can't drink, and I ask my mother to forgive me." ”
The smile on Shu Meiren's face froze, and then she smiled: "In this case, the princess will replace the wine with tea, and the concubine will drink it first." ”
She raised her head and drank the wine from the glass, and the spicy taste suddenly filled her mouth, making her cough twice.
Hua Qingrao glanced at Zhao Xuan's slightly worried gaze, and said nonchalantly: "Jin Yang always thought that this drinking was all a man's heroic behavior, but he didn't expect that the women of Daliang could have such bold behavior, Jin Yang is really eye-opening." ”
Shu Meiren's hand holding the wine glass froze in place, neither sitting nor standing. The smile on her face suddenly became even brighter, and she turned her head sideways to Gao Yushu with a gloomy face and said: "Concubine De Niangniang and Princess Jinyang came to the same country, they should be very familiar, and the concubine is very envious of having a fellow villager in the palace together." ”
Gao Yushu glanced at her coldly, turned her head to look at Hua Qingrao defiantly, and said in a strange manner: "She was just brought up by a palace maid, how can she be familiar with her, Shu Meiren is afraid that she is telling a joke." ”
The smile on Hua Qingrao's face did not decrease, but it became stronger, she took a sip of the tea in her hand and did not return the favor.
Gao Yushu was like a heavy punch on the cotton, which was painless and itchy, which made her heart very panicked. She only stared at Hua Qingrao with her life, but she didn't notice Zhao Xuan's gradually gloomy face.
After this small episode, the banquet returned to the right track, and the whole hall sang and danced, laughed and laughed, showing a state of harmony.
After the banquet, Hua Qingrao was helped by the concubine to the Zhaoyang Hall given by Zhao Xuan.
didn't take two steps, but was stopped by a coquettish shout behind him, "Jing Yao, you stand still!" ”
Hua Qingrao smiled and turned around slowly, "What advice does the eldest princess have?" ”
Gao Yushuxing's eyes widened angrily, glaring at Hua Qingrao with annoyance, eager to eat her alive.
"It's really you! It's always been you! She spat the words out between her teeth.
Hua Qingrao glanced at the concubine who was already trembling with fright, and ordered softly: "You go to the front and wait for me." ”
The concubine who accompanied the marriage was like an amnesty, and hurriedly responded and turned away.
Hua Qingrao looked at the appearance of the concubine who fled in the wilderness, and said with a smile: "Why is the eldest princess so strict, she scared my concubine away." ”
"What the hell are you for!" Gao Yushu said angrily, "You hurt the queen mother, and now you want to harm the queen!" ”
Hua Qing Rao covered her mouth with her fingers and chuckled, "I'm afraid the eldest princess is mistaken, and the one who sent me here seems to be the eldest princess's own brother." ”
Her words grew cold a little, but the smile on her face did not diminish.
Gao Yushu's face turned a little pale, and she bit her lips without saying a word.
If it weren't for the emperor's brother's order, how could this Jing Yao come here. What the hell did the royal brother think, didn't it make this woman lose her mind! He could even abandon his mother for the sake of this woman, let alone her!
Hua Qingrao looked at Gao Yushu's face a little ugly, and said with a smile: "I will remind the eldest princess here, some can say this, and some can't." Don't think that if you just belittle me, you'll win. I am now the person sent by Beiyan, and every word you say is pushing Beiyan to the land of death. ”
Gao Yushu's face suddenly turned pale, she had just belittled Jing Yao as a lowly palace maid at the family banquet, but she never thought that it was her mother country that sent the lowly palace maid to kiss. This will only arouse everyone's dissatisfaction with Beiyan, and even more dissatisfied with her behavior.
Once Da Liang started a war with Beiyan, she was the first hostage in disguise.
Hua Qingrao looked at Gao Yushu, who had only understood a little bit now, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly, I am afraid that now Gao Yushu will no longer feel that the brother who sent her to Daliang is sincerely for her.
I'm afraid that in Gao Qixuan's heart, whether it is his biological mother or the biological sister in front of him, they are just tools for him to consolidate imperial power and expand his territory.
Gao Yushu's hanging hand clenched the corner of her clothes, her knuckles white, "Jing Yao, don't think that you can get rid of it when you come to the beam, this position will not let you have a good day!" ”
She glared at Hua Qingrao fiercely and turned away.
Hua Qingrao smiled indifferently and turned around and walked in the opposite direction to her.
The black clouds were in the sky, and only a few lonely stars fell into the sky, and the bleak light was not enough to illuminate the night.
Just around the corner of the corridor where Hua Qingrao and Gao Yushu were talking, a graceful woman walked out slowly, her eyes were full of smiles, staring meaningfully at the direction where Hua Qingrao disappeared.
Lian'er stepped forward with a smile and flattered: "Niangniang, it seems that the identity of this Jinyang princess is really interesting." ”
That woman was Shu Meiren, after the banquet was over, she looked at Gao Yushu and caught up with this Jinyang princess with an angry face, she didn't want to miss such a good show, since she followed closely, but she didn't expect to hear the name Jing Yao.
"It's late at night, let's go back." She stretched out her white arm lazily and said slowly.
"Yes." Lian'er served carefully and helped her back to the temple.
Hua Qingrao sat on the bed in Zhaoyang Palace, and glanced at the concubine who was standing with her head hanging down.
After a long time, he said lightly: "What's your name?" ”
The concubine was still in awe of Hua Qingrao's heart, and replied timidly: "The slave's name is Yuhe. ”
"Rain lotus." Hua Qingrao read her name lightly and said, "I can't sleep because of the cold, you can sleep for me tonight." ”
Yuhe raised his head in surprise all of a sudden, his eyes full of disbelief. Her family was poor, powerless, and powerless, so she was chosen to be Princess Jinyang's concubine.
Before the convoy departed, her mother specially explained that these princesses were arrogant, and in order to save their lives, they could not compete with them, and it was taboo to sleep in front of the princess.
She wasn't sure whether Hua Qingrao's words were a temptation or the truth, and she hesitated for a long time before she whispered: "The slave maid has a lowly status, and she can't sleep before the princess." ”
Hua Qingrao looked at her lightly and asked softly, "Do you dare, or don't you want to?" ”
