Chapter 234: The Emperor's Purpose
Zhao Yu stood up and pulled out the whip she was carrying from her waist with an angry face, gritted her teeth as if she was going to go up and whip someone, and scolded angrily, "Who do you say is jumping up and down?" ”
Cheng Xi was not worried about the two of them fighting at all, she only looked at the whip in Zhao Yu's hand thoughtfully, and said in her heart that this emperor was not ordinary tolerant of Zhao Yu, but she remembered that before she entered the palace the first few times, she had to check, no matter who she was, she was not allowed to bring weapons into the palace, and the whip in Zhao Yu's hand should also be regarded as a weapon.
Cheng Xi knew that the two were acting, but the others didn't know, so he compared the emperor to the emperor, watching the two of them tense and busy being peacemakers, "Why do you two still pinch as soon as you meet?" Yu'er, he is so virtuous, let's not worry about him in general, but don't be angry. ”
The tone of his speech is not at all like an emperor, and this emperor is really not ordinary to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu also accepted it when he saw it, snorted coldly at Ge Shu, hung the whip back on his waist, and then said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I'm in good health." ”
The emperor saw Zhao Yu talking to him, the smile on his face became even brighter, and he replied with a smile, "Okay, Yu'er sit here." But he was referring to the position next to him.
Zhao Yu's body that was about to sit down paused, and then sat down next to the past emperor, Ge Shu lowered his head to hide the haze that flashed in his eyes.
Cheng Xi's gaze swept over the men and women here, and at first glance, they were all young men and young masters with status, but the emperor was present, and all of them were very reserved, the emperor didn't speak, and no one dared to speak.
It was Ge Shu, who looked like a hanger and said, "Your Majesty, what did you call us over?" ”
The emperor smiled and said, "I can't call you if it's okay?" You've been in the capital for so long, you should know all these people, right? It's all young people, so we should get together and get together. ”
Ge Shu swept the people in the pavilion, and then shook his head very shamelessly, "I don't know." ”
The emperor put away his smile and looked at Ge Shu, and his voice was quite kind, "Ge Shu, you really should change your temperament, how can you not know each other after staying in the capital for so long a few years ago?" ”
Ge Shu saw that the smile on the emperor's face was gone, but it was not that he didn't know how to restrain at all, and put away his hanging appearance, but said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, when the ministers were in the capital, these sons and ladies all went to the Murong family's son-in-law, but they followed the Murong family's son-in-law to bully the ministers, even if they knew, the ministers would rather not know it." ”
The emperor didn't expect Ge Shu to say this, and the Murong family was even more painful for him to mention, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at the people in the pavilion, and when they heard Ge Shu suddenly say this, they were also startled, and soon someone stopped to clarify that he and his family had nothing to do with the Murong family, and if there was anything to do with the Murong family at this time, wouldn't he be in a hurry to find death?
Seeing that they all came out one by one, and couldn't wait to swear that they had nothing to do with the Murong family, Cheng Xi whispered into Xu Sanlang's ear and whispered, "These people are really undisciplined." ”
Xu Sanlang was stunned by the sudden breath in his ears, and then pursed the corners of his lips and whispered to Cheng Xi, "It's better to have no discipline than to lose your head." ”
The Murong family has fallen, since these people didn't move at that time, the emperor can't move them now, and the emperor also knows very well how huge the power of the Murong family was at the beginning, and how many people won't please Bajie? If he really wants to kill even these people, he is afraid that there will be few ministers in the court.
So after those people had clarified, the emperor spoke, "Okay, of course I know that you are still heartfelt to me, it's rare to get together, and everyone shouldn't mention the upset thing, Gonggong Shen, let you prepare the chilled melons and fruits, serve them." ”
When the emperor spoke, those people finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the emperor continued to say to Geshu, "Since you don't know these people, I'm asking them to introduce themselves." ”
As he spoke, the emperor looked at several young women on the side, and those young women understood the emperor's eyes, so they looked at Ge Shu with a shy face, and really began to introduce themselves.
Cheng Xi looked at this scene and said in his heart, this is the first naked person to let Ge Shu come on a blind date, it seems that the emperor also knows that Zhao Yu originally had a marriage contract with Ge Shu, but now that Ge Shu has dissolved the marriage contract with the Xue family, he is in a hurry to introduce him to the next one?
Watching the next person bring up the plates of fruits, Cheng Xi was attracted by those chilled fruits, and ate her fruits, no matter what was going on over there, it was none of her business as a married woman anyway.
Of course, since Cheng Xi was sitting here, he must have been able to hear them talking, but he didn't care what they said, and it was only when Zhao Yu suddenly mentioned himself that Cheng Xi focused his attention on Zhao Yu's side.
It turned out that Zhao Yu wanted to come to her side, so the emperor asked Zhao Yu curiously, "How did you get to know her?" ”
Zhao Yu said, "The courtiers went to visit relatives in Yuecheng, and it happened that when my brother was in Yuecheng, I had some friendship with them, and the courtiers also got to know them." ”
Of course the emperor knew about Zhao Yan's trip to Yuecheng, Xu Sanlang Geshu was familiar with Zhao Yan, and the emperor knew even more that they were ordered to do things for him, Zhao Yu had been to Yuecheng, and he also knew that now that he heard Zhao Yu's explanation, he was not abrupt, and nodded, "It's also rare that you can get together again, go." ”
With Zhao Yu's approval, Zhao Yu came to Zhao Yu's side very happily, Cheng Xi looked at Zhao Yu, and was obviously relieved when he saw Zhao Yu leaving the emperor's side.
In fact, Cheng Xi thinks that this young emperor, no matter what aspect he says, is still very good, and he is afraid that he is also very popular with women, such as this one, there are many young women, and their shy eyes keep drifting to the emperor's side, although they are here to give Ge Shu a blind date, but they are obviously in Cao Ying's heart in Han.
However, Cheng Xi could see that Zhao Yu was obviously not interested in the emperor, taking care of her sister was one thing, but this person was the emperor, even if both of her sisters were accepted into the harem, there was nothing wrong with it, but Zhao Yu was still not moved, but Cheng Xi was a little admired, in this era, how many women can resist such a temptation? What's more, this emperor is still a young, handsome, gentle and considerate emperor.
Zhao Yu sat directly beside Cheng Xi, excitedly grabbed Cheng Xi's hand, Cheng Xi let her grasp it, and asked with a smile, "How are you doing lately?" ”
While speaking, Cheng Xi looked down and glanced at Zhao Yu's stomach with a little meaning.
A suspicious flush appeared on Zhao Yu's face, and he replied, "It's all good, have you come to the capital to go out and have a good look?" ”
Cheng Xi shook his head, "On such a hot day, where would you want to go out, I don't want to go on the street." ”
The two of them said something unnutritious one by one, but Zhao Yu's thoughts were on Ge Shu's side, it seemed that she also understood the emperor's thoughts, and wanted to give Ge Shu a blind date, Cheng Xi had to sigh in her heart, the relationship between these two people is really progressing rapidly, much faster than her and Xu Sanlang.
On the emperor's side, many people said flattering words in front of him, but it was also very lively.
Cheng Xi felt that such a banquet was really boring, and Ge Shu would always perfectly push away the woman introduced to him by the emperor, but after a circle, there was no one he could see.
Later, the emperor didn't bother to introduce it, but said to Zhao Yu beside Cheng Xi, "Yu'er, you don't like to drink the sour plum soup in our palace the most, I specially prepared it for you today, Gonggong Shen, bring it up." ”
Ge Shu's eyes flashed on the side, and he said, "Your Majesty, you are too partial, just prepare for her alone?" ”
The Emperor smiled and replied, "Look at your gluttony, everyone is prepared. ”
Only the palace maids gave it to Zhao Yu first, and then a row of palace maids came out with a lot of sour plum soup.
Zhao Yu saw that there was still a lot of sour plum soup, and everyone had a share, so he pushed his share to Cheng Xi first, and then took a bowl for herself when the palace maid came over.
The weather is hot, Cheng Xi is indeed a little thirsty, seeing that everyone has it, Cheng Xi is not polite, holding the sour plum soup that Zhao Yu pushed to his face and began to pour it into his mouth, Shen Gonggong on the side watched Cheng Xi drink more than half of the bowl of sour plum soup, and he didn't have time to stop it, and looked at the emperor in front of him with apprehensive eyes.
At this time, the young emperor, who had always been as gentle as jade, seemed to be a little cold in his eyes, and the smile on his face was also put away, he suddenly stood up and said, "I am also a little tired, so I will leave first, and you can have a good chat yourself." ”
After speaking, he looked at Zhao Yu and asked, "Yu'er, do you want to go with me to see your sister?" ”
Zhao Yu hesitated, wanting to refuse, but it was the emperor in front of her, and she didn't dare, the emperor looked at Zhao Yu's appearance, sighed almost inaudibly, and said, "Since Yu'er doesn't want to go, forget it." ”
After speaking, he stood up and was about to leave, and everyone knelt down and saluted, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”
Seeing the emperor leave like this, Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and sat beside Cheng Xi weakly.
But Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi worriedly, and said, "Since the emperor has left, let's go back too." ”
Cheng Xi heard the eagerness in Xu Sanlang's tone, looked at Xu Sanlang suspiciously, and nodded in response, "Okay, Yu'er, do you want to go back together?" ”
Zhao Yu nodded hurriedly, she didn't like this cage-like palace at all, and she didn't want to stay longer for a moment.
Now that the emperor has left, everyone is not interested in staying any longer, even those who really have the intention of wanting to develop a little bit with Ge Shu, but they are also hit by Ge Shu's merciless words, and they don't have that mind anymore, and some don't even want to look at Ge Shu again.
On the way out of the palace, Xu Sanlang pulled Cheng Xi very eagerly, Zhao Yu couldn't keep up with their pace, Ge Shu watched from the side, worried that Zhao Yu was still pregnant with his own child, so he said, "What are you two doing walking so fast?" ”
Xu Sanlang didn't answer Ge Shu's question, and walked faster, because she began to notice that Cheng Xi was a little strange, and it was a little strange to look at Gonggong Shen beside the emperor before, and then remembered that there might be something wrong with the bowl of sour plum soup, obviously it was all sour plum soup, why did she prepare it for Zhao Yu alone? When he only wanted to stop Cheng Xi from drinking, it was too late, Cheng Xi was extremely fast, and he was already gurgling and drinking it in his hand.
