Chapter Twenty-Seven: Hazy and Hazy
Today is the day to report to the Queen Mother's Palace, Liang Yue got up early, packed up and took the baggage and went out.
At this hour, Qianyuan Palace was still quiet. In a few moments, the emperor should rise up and go to court. Leave now, and no one will find out, saving a lot of trouble in saluting.
However, as soon as he closed the door and turned around, Liang Yue saw a person who should never have been seen here.
Xuanyuan Zili quietly looked at the burden in her hand, and her dark eyes were dim. He only wore a cloak on his body, it seemed that he came out without getting dressed properly, there was no one around, Liang Yue raised his eyebrows, could he have secretly come out of the main hall through the window?
"What does the emperor command?" Liang Yue bent her knees slightly and said softly.
Xuanyuan Zili snorted coldly, looked at the top of Liangyue's head, and said coldly: "I, I just want to tell you, don't cause any trouble to the Queen Mother." ”
Well? Early in the morning, she appeared here without getting dressed, just to tell her not to make trouble for the Queen Mother? Liang Yue looked up with a smile, looked at the emperor's somewhat gloomy expression, and couldn't help asking, "What does it mean not to cause trouble to the Queen Mother?" ”
"For example..."Xuanyuanzi's eyes darkened, and he reached out to pinch Gu Liangyue's shoulder.
This action was too sudden, Liang Yue was startled, and then frowned. He pinched her wound, which he'd been recovering so slowly that it would crack from time to time, and now that he was pinching, it was time to bleed again.
Feeling that his palms were a little wet, Xuanyuan Zili let go of his hand with a sinking face, and said expressionlessly: "This is the trouble." is not in good health, and he still has to serve the Queen Mother. Gu Liangyue, are you overestimating yourself. ”
Liang Yue looked at the emperor's eyes, shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Your Majesty, it is difficult to forget, these days the slave maid has been serving you with injuries, and there is no mistake." Why not serve the Queen Mother? Besides, you agreed to it before, why now? ”
Xuanyuan Zili pursed his lips, his face was ugly. He won't say that he hasn't slept well all night, and her shadow always runs out of his mind strangely, and he finally can't stand it anymore after a night, so he runs out to find her.
It's so strange, maybe it's because she's been watching her too much recently, Gu Liangyue's face always doesn't appear so clearly in his mind before. Now it always pops up every now and then. Even occasionally when I changed the recital, I would wander and look up at the person standing in the partition.
Is he crazy? It's weird.
Today she went to Cining Palace, and tomorrow she will leave the palace, he is damn in a bad mood. hasn't tortured her enough, so he has to give her a long vacation, how can he be willing? Yes, that's right, that's probably the truth.
"If you hadn't asked Peony to cooperate with the Queen Mother on the spot, I wouldn't have agreed without retreat." Xuanyuan Zili snorted coldly: "Since you have the opportunity to leave the palace, you have to use it well, don't die outside the palace, it's a pity." ”
Liang Yue smiled and said softly: "Thank you for your concern." ”
"Who cares about you." Emperor Mingxuan's face turned dark, and he flicked his sleeves and left. Leaving Liang Yue standing in place, looking at the back of the emperor leaving with some astonishment.
Did he take the wrong medicine today?
While thinking about it, she walked towards Cining Palace, Liang Yue shook her head, Xuanyuan Zili must have been stimulated by something, otherwise she would not care about her like this.
The sky gradually brightened, and Liang Yue successfully arrived at Cining Palace and met the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother looked at Liangyue for a long time, and sighed: "Get up and come to the mourning family." ”
"Yes." Liang Yue got up, stood beside the Queen Mother, and lowered her eyes.
"The mourning family has asked about the peony, it's really bitter for you, this child." The Queen Mother retreated from a group of maidservants, looked at Liang Yue and said: "The mourning family thought that if you couldn't enter the middle palace, then at least you would be a person on the concubine position, but I never thought about it..."
"The Queen Mother." Liang Yue opened her eyes, smiled lightly, and said, "Thanks to the wrong love, Liang Yue is just a commoner, how can she be loved by His Majesty." Liangyue's mission is over, and now it's just a matter of finding out the truth and clearing his name. ”
The Queen Mother sighed lightly, looked at Liang Yue's calm side face, and muttered: "The mourning family has only seen you a few times in total, but Liang Yue, the mourning family likes you very much, not because you are polite and self-aware, but because Liang Yue, you are a rare person who is not for anything else, but only for the emperor." ”
Liang Yue nodded: "The slave knows that the Queen Mother is like this, and so is Aunt Peony, you prefer Liang Yue, all because of the heart that Liang Yue once had for His Majesty." But the Queen Mother, Liang Yue woke up, and when this matter is over, Liang Yue will leave the palace. The heart that used to be is now gone, and Liang Yue can only thank you for your wrong love for Liang Yue. ”
The Queen Mother was slightly stunned, looked at Liang Yue and asked, "Don't you like the emperor anymore?" ”
Liang Yue paused and shook her head: "I was ignorant before, but now it's clear, the feelings that I forced to come are not interesting." At most, His Majesty was moved one day to make me one of his thousands of women. And I, too, became less like myself in that harem battle, and gradually became mediocre. ”
The Queen Mother was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "Yes, what is more terrible than this harem." That's it, what are you going to do, the mourning family will help you, and it can be regarded as making amends to you for my emperor. ”
Sure enough, the hearts of mothers in the world are the softest. Liang Yue's eyes were slightly hot, and she lowered her eyes and saluted: "Thank you Empress Dowager." ”
Cining Palace is still being cleaned up, and Aunt Peony is naturally there. Liang Yue helped her pack her luggage, and by the way, she thought about where to leave the Queen Mother's honor guard.
During lunch, Peony unexpectedly saw Sixi's father-in-law.
Sixi's father-in-law walked over with a happy brow and whispered to her: "The emperor said that he would go to Cining Palace for lunch, and my aunt can prepare it in advance." ”
Coming to Cining Palace for dinner? Peony was stunned, then reacted, and responded with a smile: "It's hard for my father-in-law to run, I know." ”
The emperor and the queen mother have a very good relationship, but they haven't come to lunch for a long time. Peony smiled and shook her head, His Majesty seems to have opened up a little recently, compared to the previous indifference, now there is a lot of flesh and blood.
After Liang Yue packed her luggage, someone informed her that she had gone to the dining room to serve the Queen Mother for dinner.
According to the rules of the palace, after the master has eaten, the entourage will have two quarters of an hour to eat. Liang Yue was a little hungry, so she remembered that she hadn't eaten breakfast. It's better to serve the Queen Mother first and then go eat something.
As soon as he stepped into the dining room, Liang Yue was startled by the person in front of him.
Emperor Mingxuan was standing next to the Queen Mother, listening to the Queen Mother's words, and when he heard the movement, he turned his head and glanced at her. The look was so strange, less of the usual indifference and coldness, but there was a hint of playfulness, and it made Liang Yue's heart skip a beat.
What's going on? Is there something really wrong with Xuanyuan Zi today? It doesn't look like an iceberg, like a wolf lying in the shadows, faintly making her feel fearful.
"The cool moon is coming." The Queen Mother smiled kindly, got up and sat down at the table, and said with a smile: "The emperor is really not worried about my old woman, praying for blessings is a good thing for the country and the family, but urging me to come back." Liangyue, you say, is the mourning family so old that people need to worry about it? ”
Liang Yue was startled and subconsciously glanced at the emperor. Rushing back? Does it mean that the Queen Mother will not be allowed to pray for a long time?
"The Queen Mother is in her prime, where did she come from." Liang Yue replied respectfully: "It is reasonable for the emperor to think about the queen mother. ”
It makes sense not to let her get better. Liang Yue gritted her teeth, for fear that she would find out the truth after staying outside for a long time, right? Now that a month has passed, she has not made any progress, doesn't she have to die in the palace.
"No matter how much life outside the palace is, it can't compare to the palace." Emperor Mingxuan said lightly: "Prayer is enough for half a month, why should the queen mother stay outside the palace for a long time." ”
Half Yue, with Gu Liangyue's ability, maybe it is time to find out something, no matter how much, she will not come back directly.
Thinking that she might go back to the rivers and lakes directly, so that he could never find it again, Xuanyuan Zili's face sank, and he subconsciously glanced at Gu Liangyue.
The eyes were indeed as if they were carrying a knife, and Liang Yue was shocked and suspicious. She didn't make any mistakes, so why did she look at her like that?
The atmosphere was a little strange, and the Queen Mother smiled and played a round: "Let's eat, the emperor is busy with official business, and he finally came to Cining Palace, so let's have some meals with peace of mind." ”
"Yes." Emperor Mingxuan withdrew his gaze and ate calmly.
Liang Yue stood next to Aunt Peony with her hands down, watching the little palace maid distribute vegetables to the queen mother, thinking that the queen mother had been eating for a long time, and it was estimated that it would be afternoon when they ate.
Peony glanced at Liang Yue's expression, and saw the dark purple on her shoulder, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Haven't your wounds been treated yet?" ”
Liang Yue looked at her shoulder, shook her head, and said, "I forgot, but it's not in the way." ”
Aunt Peony glared at her, couldn't help but pull her back a few steps, and said softly: "It's useless to have breakfast, you will drag your body down like this." Later, the Empress Dowager will finish eating, and you will wait for me in the side hall. ”
"Thank you, Auntie." Liang Yue gently bowed her head, and her heart was warm,
Xuanyuan pursed his lips and ate faster. The Queen Mother was slightly surprised, and was about to ask what was wrong, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Liang Yue standing with her hands down. At the moment, he shook his head, and followed faster with him.
Her emperor is always so awkward. I'm used to duplicitousness, I'm really afraid that he will suffer a loss one day.
"The emperor is busy with affairs, so he will go back to the palace first after eating, and the mourning family will also take a lunch break." The Queen Mother wiped her mouth with a handkerchief without a trace and said with a smile.
"Yes, the retainers are retired." Emperor Mingxuan got up, saluted respectfully, and took a rare deep look at the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother understood, and both mother and son were smiling.
The palace people next to him were all stunned, and even the peony couldn't help but speak: "Queen Mother, eating hurts your stomach." “
"It's okay, today's meal is delicious, the mourning family can't help but eat quickly, and let people appreciate the people in the imperial dining room later." The Queen Mother smiled, looked at Liang Yue, who was also stunned on the side, and said, "You go down first, you have your own grandmother to serve the mourning family and go to bed." ”
"Yes..."Liang Yue replied blankly, and retreated with everyone.
