Chapter 20: The Queen is Happy

After Shang Gong came out with Chu Luoyi and Jinxiu, he was a little absent-minded, could it be that this matter was not Chu Luoyi's doing? Otherwise, why would she intercede for herself?

The queen is already dissatisfied with herself, as long as Chu Luoyi pours a basin of dirty water on herself, then she will definitely be beaten by the board.

But now, not only is she safe and sound, but the queen finally symbolically rewarded her and Jinxiu with two silver ingots, at this time, Shanggong was really blind, and she didn't know what Chu Luoyi was thinking.

Chu Luoyi looked at Shang Gong's back, a sneer hooked up at the corner of her mouth, she naturally knew what Shang Gong was thinking, but she saved her, not because she suddenly had a kindness, but because she wanted her to die!

Chu Luoyi knew in his heart that if something went wrong with this peony hairpin, he would not be able to kill Shang Gong at all, even if the queen was angry, Shang Gong would be at most a crime that was not good for doing things, and if it was more serious, it would be perfunctory.

But no matter which one it is, it will not be able to kill Shang Gong, if Shang Gong is beaten again, this account will only be counted on Chu Luoyi's head, and when the time comes to return to Shang Palace, the enemy will be outnumbered, and her trouble will only be more.

Now, Chu Luoyi seems to have helped Shang Gong avoid punishment and get a reward, but in fact, it was the one who made the queen think that she was Concubine Rou, so she felt sorry for her.

And this is enough for Chu Luoyi.

The sky gradually darkened, Chu Luoyi hid the rewarded silver in his sleeves, there were about ten ingots of silver, a little heavy, after closing the door, Chu Luoyi first went to find the housekeeper of the kitchen of Jing'an Courtyard.

Seeing Chu Luoyi's arrival, the housekeeper nodded, did not speak, still holding a bamboo stick in her mouth, sitting against the door.

Chu Luoyi stood sideways outside the door, and the people in the kitchen couldn't see it, Chu Luoyi stuffed a silver ingot and said to the housekeeper: "I took a lot of food from the kitchen during this time, and I have money for these things." ”

The housekeeper raised her eyebrows, a little surprised, but she didn't say anything, accepted the silver, and just added: "It's good to use whatever you want in the future." ”

After Chu Luoyi thanked him, he didn't stay long and went to find Beiliuyun.

When he arrived at the dilapidated courtyard, Bei Liuyun sat alone at the table and didn't know what he was thinking, and when he saw Chu Luoyi coming, his eyes fell on her and he didn't look away.

After putting the food he brought from the kitchen on the table, Chu Luoyi put a silver ingot on the table: "I may not come over every day in the future, you use this silver to make a point, let someone send some charcoal fire, buy some clothes, and then solve the meal." ”|

Beiliuyun heard her words and looked at her without blinking, Chu Luoyi saw him react like this, frowned and asked, "Is there a problem?" ”

Beiliuyun lowered his eyes: "No." ”

She didn't stay long in the courtyard, Chu Luoyi left quickly, she has to be cautious these days, although Shang Gong will not do anything to her, but he will definitely keep an eye on her, if she comes here blatantly, I am afraid that she will fall behind.

The days passed, and although Shang Gong occasionally found trouble with ringtones, Chu Luoyi's days were very quiet.

On this day, Chu Luoyi was dispatched to deliver clothes to Concubine Rou.

In Shuihua Palace, Concubine Rou was repeatedly teasing a white cat in her arms, and Chu Luoyi knelt on the ground with a tray in both hands, looking like she had been waiting for a while.

Chu Luoyi knew that cat, I heard that it was a blue-eyed cat paid tribute by foreign countries, fleshy, round, very docile, and lazy, and the most pleasing to women.

I heard that this cat is the only one, and it is a rare and rare object, but the emperor waved his hand and directly rewarded it to Concubine Rou, which made many concubines jealous.

"You also come to see this blue-eyed cat, you must have never seen it." Concubine Rou spoke gently and walked to Chu Luoyi's side.

"You see, isn't it cute tight."

"It's cute."

"I've been hugging this palace for so long, and I'm tired, so you can hold it for Bengong for a while." Hearing this, the maid took the tray in Chu Luoyi's hand, and Concubine Rou took advantage of the situation to send the cat to Chu Luoyi's arms, and at the same time, her hand was hidden in the dark and moved, and the originally docile cat instantly drew three blood marks on Chu Luoyi's hand.

The blood was particularly dazzling on the white fingers, but Chu Luoyi was unaware of it, quietly holding the cat in his arms.

Seeing that she didn't throw the blue-eyed cat out, Concubine Rou was a little surprised, and said: "Don't think that being a little clever is your blessing, maybe it is because of this blessing that it will kill you the most!" ”

Chu Luoyi knew in her heart that Concubine Rou was targeted at her because she helped the queen break the siege last time, if she hadn't held the cat steady just now, she was afraid that she would be dragged out and killed by a cane now.

"Alright, stand down." Concubine Rou saw Chu Luoyi standing there with her head bowed like a piece of wood, and she was also disinterested.

After leaving, Chu Luoyi looked at the blood stains on his hands and sneered: "It's really a pampered cat." ”

Because of the delay, Chu Luoyi chose to go back on the path of the rockery, but he didn't want to, and he heard the whispering of the two.

"The queen is happy."

"What you said is true?"

"Absolutely."

The two paused for a while, and in the narrow gap of the rockery, there was a shallow breathing sound.

"I know, this is a reward, you can go back quickly."

After the two left, Chu Luoyi came out from behind the rockery and looked at the back of the departing, his eyes were deep.

It's really even God who wants to help her, a few days ago she said that the queen is rich and rich, and the blessings are boundless, and she didn't expect that the queen would be pregnant today.

Looking at the three blood marks on his hands, the corners of Chu Luoyi's mouth hooked a shallow arc, and he turned around and went to Gonggong Zhou's residence.

......

Three days later, Shang Gong finally couldn't bear it anymore and called Chu Luoyi again: "This is the queen's phoenix robe, at the banquet in three days, the queen will wear this costume to attend, you send it to the queen." ”

Shang Gong handed the tray to Chu Luoyi, and didn't forget to look at her.

Unexpectedly, Chu Luoyi did not take the tray, but looked up at Shang Gong who was standing in front of him with a smile, dressed in gorgeous clothes: "Isn't Lord Shang Gong afraid that something will go wrong with the phoenix robe this time?" ”

Shang Gong froze when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "Did you move the peony praise last time?" ”

"It's me, I put the petals you cut back together and make them look like they're not in good craft."

Shang Gong was stunned, as if he didn't expect Chu Luoyi to admit it so easily, and looked at Chu Luoyi speechless for a while.

"It's a pity that you couldn't get rid of me, and you even almost got boarded." Chu Luoyi smiled faintly, and the hoarse voice lingered in Shang Gong's mind like a spell.

At this time, Shang Gong finally came back to his senses: "You! What a guts, someone..."

"You know, the queen is happy."

Without waiting for Shang Gong to finish speaking, Chu Luoyi interrupted her, and Shang Gong was stunned and couldn't understand why Chu Luoyi suddenly changed the topic.

But Chu Luoyi approached her step by step, looking directly at the slightly cloudy eyes: "You say, if something goes wrong with this phoenix robe, will it be another ominous omen?" It's about the emperor's heir, and I ask Lord Shanggong to be careful. ”

Shang Gong looked at the black eyes that seemed to be able to suck his soul away, and couldn't help but staggered back, pointing at Chu Luoyi tremblingly: "You... You..."

"I was able to avoid the board last time, I don't know how long the good luck of adults will last." Shang Gong bumped into a mahogany table in a panic, and the whole person fell to the ground, the tray in his hand fell to the ground with a 'clang', and the phoenix robe scattered on the ground.

Chu Luoyi bent down to pick it up and sent it to Shang Gong: "This phoenix robe is related to the life and death of Lord Shang Gong, you should keep it properly." ”

At this point, Shang Gong involuntarily grabbed the phoenix robe in his hand, looked at the woman in front of him in horror, and even he couldn't tell why.

Chu Luoyi glanced at her deeply, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a light smile and turned to leave.

After a while, several palace maids who came in saw Shang Gong sitting on the ground alone, still holding the queen's phoenix robe in their hands.

"Lord Shanggong, what's wrong with you?"

"yes, isn't there something uncomfortable?"

Shang Gong came back to his senses at this time, looked at the people chattering around him, and suddenly felt upset: "Okay, you all go out first." ”

Several people glanced at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything, and retreated one after another.

Looking at the phoenix robe in his hand, Shang Gong's heart tightened, and after a careful inspection, he found that there were some wrinkles on his clothes, but there was nothing else.

Shang Gong sat on the side and thought about it for a long time, but finally she decided to send the phoenix robe by herself to feel more at ease.

Although if you send a palace maid to go, you can be your shield if something happens, but it is difficult to guarantee that Chu Luoyi will not do anything again and make herself suffer.

Just seeing Chu Luoyi's eyebrows raised, his tone was gentle, and the corners of his eyes were smiling, Shang Gong knew that what Chu Luoyi said was true.

This made Shang Gong can't help but secretly say: I didn't expect that the queen was no longer young, and she would really be pregnant again.

It seems that a few days ago, maybe it was because she was in a good mood, so the queen didn't embarrass her, thinking of this, Shang Gong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Two days later, the concubines gathered in the queen's Fengxiang Palace, but the queen did not wear the golden phoenix robe specially created by the Shang Palace, but chose a long dress with red peony flowers, and a peony hairpin with missing petals on her head.

It can be seen how strong the queen's love for peonies is now.

Concubine Rou still sat in the first place, holding the blue-eyed cat in her arms at first, but later she felt bored, so she handed it to the palace maid next to her and let her hug it.

In the main hall, a concubine said tentatively: "The concubine heard that there are rumors in the palace today that the queen mother is pregnant again, I don't know if this matter is serious?" ”

Some of those who got the news were not too surprised, and those who didn't know were quietly discussed, waiting for the queen's answer.

"The news of the concubine is well-informed, and the palace is about to announce this, but it makes you win." The queen laughed.

Hearing the queen say this, the concubines reacted differently, but they all congratulated each other.

PS (no words): Yesterday I had a dream, I dreamed that a child shot me with a slingshot, I went up and beat him, until he said that he didn't dare next time, I stopped satisfied, before leaving, I asked him what his name was, he cried and said with a sad face: "My name is Cupid." ”
