Chapter 132: The Finale (I)
Guo Xiaoxiao rested for a while before he had the strength to speak.
"The internal officials of the palace gate and the Imperial Forest Army said that it was the queen mother who ordered me to search my body?" Guo Xiaoxiao bowed to the queen and said, "Dare to ask the queen, is there really such a thing?" ”
The queen glanced at Guo Xiaoxiao, then at Han Ming, and then smiled: "There are indeed such rules in the palace, and I also ordered the search of all those who entered the palace." But I forgot to remind them that the county lord was a distinguished guest in the palace, and he should not be stopped. The internal official even forgot to ask, this matter is my negligence, blame me for blaming me, and ask the county lord for forgiveness. ”
Guo Xiaoxiao thought to himself, if he didn't get the permission of the queen, how could her people dare to be presumptuous! This time, the queen took all the blame on herself, and Guo Xiaoxiao's identity is really small compared to the queen. So Guo Xiaoxiao can't come out even if he is angry.
Not only can you not come out, but you must also be calm and grateful to accept the queen's apology. The queen's move kills two birds with one stone, which not only embarrasses Guo Xiaoxiao, but also allows her to retreat with her whole body. Not only will the internal officials and the Imperial Forest Army not be blamed, but even the queen can be praised for being lenient and knowing that she can correct her mistakes.
Guo Xiaoxiao owed a debt and said: "Since it was a misunderstanding, then forget it." ”
"Frightened Baoyi." The queen said to Han Ming again, "The palace and the county are going to have lunch, you can retreat." ”
The queen took Guo Xiaoxiao's hand and walked in, and found that Han Ming was still standing in place, so she said, "What?" Do you want to share lunch with Hongu and the county lord? ”
"No, Your Majesty...... His Majesty is guilty. Han Ming arched his hand and said, "Please punish the mother." “
The queen mother smiled, glanced at Guo Xiaoxiao, and said, "I don't have anything to do in my heart, but you are offending the county lord of Baoyi." If you want to be punished, the lord of the county will punish you. ”
Guo Xiaoxiao said secretly, what a queen's mother, and threw the drudgery on her again.
Han Ming said to Guo Xiaoxiao: "What Niangniang said is that the county lord should be punished." ”
Guo Xiaoxiao thought to herself, if she really punished, she was afraid that the people in the palace would say that the county lord of Baoyi was not close to people; That's it, how dare she move the queen's mother!
Guo Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, so you don't have to make a big move." The queen said that she didn't take it to heart, and I wouldn't take it to heart. You can go back in peace. ”
Han Ming raised his head and looked at Guo Xiaoxiao's gentle watery eyes, and it seemed that there was really no anger at all, so he slowly retreated.
The queen took Guo Xiaoxiao's hand and said with a smile: "Come, don't let them disturb our interest." The Imperial Chef has made a lot of new tricks, so let's try them together. ”
"Yes." Guo Xiaoxiao is very shy.
"Don't say yes." The queen smiled kindly, "You should say 'yes'." When I let you dine, I invite you, not command. ”
Guo Xiaoxiao bowed his head and said: "Niangniang is the Luan Phoenix of the sky, and Baoyi is just a common person." Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, Baoyi will never dare to exceed the courtesy of monarchs and ministers. ”
The queen sat down, Guo Xiaoxiao wanted to keep some distance from the queen, but pulled her to sit down beside him.
"After so many years, I have long been tired of those 'kings, ministers, fathers, sons'." The queen said to Guo Xiaoxiao with her own thoughts, "The reason why this palace likes you and invites you to the palace alone, don't you really understand?" ”
Guo Xiaoxiao was flattered: "Niangniang's holy will, Baoyi dare not speculate." ”
"I heard that you grew up in the people, unlike the children of the princes and nobles of Jingshi. It was an eye-opener for me to see you for the first time. The queen looked at Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes, and said every word very sincerely, "Your eyes are very clean, there is no trace of the prince's bad luck and hypocrisy, cute and straightforward, I really like it." ”
"Mother's ......"
"The second prince grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he is used to seeing the deceit in the palace, and what he lacks most in his heart is the sincerity that others treat him." The queen intercepted Guo Xiaoxiao's words and continued, "Many years ago, there was a little palace maid beside him, with a frank personality and an inexplicable liking to him, so he often played with that little palace maid. Unfortunately, one year there was a plague in the palace, and the little palace maid also contracted it, and died not long after. He has no playmates and is alone. Don't look at his happy appearance, in fact, there are few people in this palace who can speak. ”
"Niangniang......" Guo Xiaoxiao's voice was as low as a mosquito.
"Baoyi!" The queen suddenly clenched Guo Xiaoxiao's hand, "I'm really a person who can speak!" If you have anything to say, you may as well tell me, it should be a heart-to-heart confession. ”
Guo Xiaoxiao was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his hand. The queen mother is the Luan Phoenix of the sky, how can she Guo Xiaoxiao cling! Although the identity of this county lord is second only to the emperor's daughter, it is the same dignity, but compared with the royal family, it is really 108,000 miles worse. Guo Xiaoxiao would never dare to complain to the queen!
"Don't be afraid, I'm about your mother's age." The queen seemed to be able to read her thoughts, "It doesn't hurt that you have the right to be your mother." ”
"!" Guo Xiaoxiao was so shocked that he stood up from his seat, "Niangniang is the queen, Baoyi really doesn't dare to have a relationship with Niangniang. ”
"I know that you are indifferent to fame and fortune, and it is precisely because I fancy you that I have a heart-to-heart with you......"
"!" Guo Xiaoxiao interrupted her words and withdrew from the banquet, "Baoyi is a little unwell, and she asks to go home." ”
The queen looked at her, knowing that what she had just said frightened her, so she said, "Okay, I'm not in a hurry, you can come to the palace to see me another day." ”
"Yes." Guo Xiaoxiao owes himself, "That Baoyi...... Quit. ”
Without the escort of a female envoy, Guo Xiaoxiao quickly fled from the Ronghe Palace. Nan Yue, who was guarding outside the hall, saw Guo Xiaoxiao's panicked appearance, and stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong with the county lord?" ”
"Go home." Guo Xiaoxiao stepped on small steps, "Let's talk about it when I go home!" ”
Nan Yue trotted to catch up with Guo Xiaoxiao.
The carriage went out of the palace gate, and when it arrived on the street, Guo Xiaoxiao calmed down, and thought carefully about what the queen said, it was really frightening. The queen held hands and said considerate words, showing an unguarded and fully accepting look, which made Guo Xiao panic. The closer it is, the more intimate it is, the more unbelievable it is, and the more premeditated it is.
The queen was scheming, and Guo Xiaoxiao almost couldn't hold back the moving words she said. If you don't leave the table and go home immediately, you will probably really be deceived by the queen's words. When the fake is true, the truth is also false, and when Guo Xiaoxiao is difficult to distinguish the truth from what the queen said, he can only retreat and take more precautions.
Coincidentally, as soon as Guo Xiaoxiao returned home, Zhang Yun came to report that Luo Xuan and Jiang Zhiyuan had a quarrel in the study.
Guo Xiaoxiao asked what was going on, Zhang Yun hesitated, and said you can go and see for yourself. Guo Xiaoxiao went to the study with his skirt, but saw Luo Xuan and Jiang Zhiyuan sitting quietly inside. Luo Xuan sat on the side of the desk and practiced calligraphy, and Jiang Zhiyuan sat with Erlang's legs crossed and read the military book.
"You ......" Guo Xiaoxiao was stunned by the door.
"Coming back?" Jiang Zhiyuan pulled down the book that covered his face.
"You guys?" Guo Xiaoxiao looked suspicious.
"What's wrong with us?" Luo Xuan asked without raising his head.
"As soon as I came back, Deputy Envoy Zhang told me that you two had a quarrel. I was so anxious that I didn't even drink my saliva and rushed over, for fear that the two of you would fight. ”
"A gentleman doesn't use his hands, we are principled people." Jiang Zhiyuan said lightly.
"Who knows?" Guo Xiaoxiao smacked his lips, "You two are both practicing martial arts, if you can't control your reason and act rashly, maybe you will really fight." ”
"Even if we do have to fight, we know how to do it." Luo Xuan waved the wolf in his hand.
"You're fine. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to my room to rest. Guo Xiaoxiao turned around and left.
"Wait." Jiang Zhiyuan stopped her, "I'll go with you." ”
"Who wants you to accompany you?" Guo Xiaoxiao said angrily.
"I see you're in a bad mood." Jiang Zhiyuan walked with her through the corridor and walked side by side with her.
Guo Xiaoxiao pursed his lips and smiled, Jiang Zhiyuan quietly took Guo Xiaoxiao's hand, and the two entered the back garden.
"Did you even quarrel?" Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Zhiyuan thought for a while and said, "It's noisy." ”
"And you're reconciled?"
"You can't say 'reconciliation,' it should be 'reconciliation.'"
"Reconciliation?" Guo Xiaoxiao smiled.
"I had some misunderstandings with Luo Xuan before, but now I have made it clear."
"Well, it's good that you two are okay, I'm really afraid that you two will quarrel. With your two tempers, you might fight. ”
Nan Yue saw that the two of them were talking happily and entered the courtyard, so she retreated with interest.
There was a man standing in the window of the wing, and when he saw the two of them talking and laughing, a wave of anger rose in his heart. The rage burned from her liver to her chest and throat, almost spurting out. This anger comes from a kind of jealousy, a kind of jealousy that can't be changed in the bones.
Guo Qianqian just received a secret letter from there yesterday, and Hai Rose said that she and Jiang Zhiyuan were not all the way, and they had never read each other's hearts in the past few years. Instead of guarding a husband who has no feelings for him, it is better to be okay with both parties and seek their own future.
After Guo Qianqian read the letter, the anger and bitterness that had been suppressed in her chest for a long time finally broke out. She angrily tore the letter to shreds, then threw it on the ground and stomped on it a dozen times. She secretly scolded Sea Rose for being spineless, so she gave up her husband to others. She also scolded the sea rose for deserving it, so that those who have no ambition should be abandoned.
Ying'er and Xiu'er were frightened when they saw her angry, and they wanted to say a few words of comfort, but Guo Qianqian blocked them, so they didn't dare to say more.
Today she heard that Guo Xiaoxiao had entered the palace to meet the queen again, and her jealousy began to flood again. are all granddaughters of Zhenguo Gong, why can't Guo Xiaoxiao be the county lord? Why can Guo Xiaoxiao be hospitalized by the queen, but she can only stay in this general's mansion to command the little maid?
It's not fair! Guo Qianqian secretly scolded, it's not fair at all! She vowed that she would get such status and treatment. If you can't get it, you will be destroyed. Destroy the good and the bad, the past and the past.
