Chapter 142: Deep Love (6)
Everyone is watching what they say, and everyone is quietly making calculations in their hearts. And the protagonists are naturally two sisters surnamed Gu.
Gu Qing's cheeks were still flushed with redness and swelling, Gu Ning sent Xiaoyu to the apse to get some ice cubes to reduce her swelling, we all know her relationship with this sister, but no matter how you say it, you have to do superficial work, right?
Just now, her attitude has already made it clear that she has saved enough face for Gu Qing in front of the big guy. The jade jade bracelet on Gu Ning's wrist glowed with a faint light, just like her faint eyes.
Everyone sitting at the table called her the queen, and not everyone can have such an honor.
"Since it's a small banquet today, let's follow the previous steps, listen to Xiao Qu'er, and see how Xiao Wu'er is?" Gu Ning said to himself, his tone sounded like an inquiring tone, but it wasn't. She is the biggest leader in the harem, where do you need to ask for other people's opinions?
All the concubines looked at each other and had no opinion, so they echoed in unison.
Gu Qing kept hanging her head, she really didn't know where to look, the chattering around her didn't seem to have anything to do with her, and she didn't have to stir up any waves when she came to the small banquet, just an occasion.
After Gu Ning gave the order, a group of warblers and Yanyan immediately walked up from outside the hall, they were all young women, not very old, and all of them were extremely handsome. The hall resounded with the pleasant sound of silk and bamboo, and the dancers twisted their waists with the rhythm of the music, and the exposed snow-white waists were extremely flexible, like spiritual snakes and lines.
Rong Guifei's left hand side happened to be Gu Qing, recalling that when she was slapped by the little Wu Cairen just now, if she could stop it, she wouldn't have slapped it down.
The hall was singing and dancing, she glanced at Gu Qing's red and swollen cheeks slightly, and asked with great concern: "Sister, does your face still hurt? Do you want to go back and rest first?"
Gu Qing shook her head when she heard the sound and smiled back, since she had already come to Ningxing Palace, how could she say that she would leave as soon as she said she would?
Rong Guifei didn't say anything, and the concubines on the table were absent-mindedly watching the dance, and at the same time suspicious of the queen's thoughts.
Suddenly, her unfathomable voice sounded in the hall: "These dancing girls, their posture is also slender, think about the palace when they first entered the palace, isn't it like this?"
Between the lines is a sense of nostalgia, and the rest of the concubines are thinking about how to reply.
Among them, there was a concubine who was anxious to pat herself on the back and said: "Where do the dancers have the grace of the queen back then......?
The dancers dare not speak out, because the queen has not spoken yet, and they are even more lowly things in the palace, how can they be qualified to defend themselves?
Besides, all the dancers in the palace not only learned to twist their waists and move their limbs, but also learned to cling to the powerful. There are always some good-looking faces who think they are alive and want to dream of some sparrows being phoenixes.
It's no wonder that these dancing girls will displease the other concubines, who wants to treat a competitor well?
The hall was silent for a moment, and Concubine Rong took a closer look at Gu Ning's slightly frowning brows, and then said: "This sister should pay attention to her proportions when she speaks, although she is said to be a dancer, it is not easy for others." ”
The named concubine snorted softly and was silent.
And Gu Ning's eyes stayed on the many dancers, and he told the sound of silk and bamboo to stop, and the dancers also obediently stopped their movements and stood quietly aside.
"Sisters, look, which of these beautiful dancers is the best-looking?" The corners of Gu Ning's mouth were smiling when she said this, as if she was sincerely asking everyone, and she sincerely wanted to listen to everyone's opinions.
The concubines exchanged their heads and ears, but none of them answered her.
"Qing'er, what do you think?"
Gu Qingden sat up straight, and it was scary enough to be suddenly named, and the extremely intimate word Qing'er shocked her heart. For some reason, there was a trace of panic in her heart.
I saw Gu Qing then look up at the dancing girls standing in the center of the hall, they were clustered, like flowers in spring.
"Back to the queen's mother, the concubine thinks that the woman standing in the center of the crowd can be regarded as a more conspicuous woman. At least it seemed to her, with clear eyebrows and a pure countenance.
Gu Ning followed the direction of her fingers, and then said in a deep voice: "Raise your head and let this palace take a look." ”
The named woman was already relatively calm, she took two steps forward without humility or arrogance, leaned over slightly and waited: "The folk girl Xiaoqian has seen the queen and the concubines. ”
The voice is also good, when Gu Qingzheng is immersed in the atmosphere of appreciating the beauty.
Gu Ning's words disturbed the hearts of the people in the palace.
"Her name is Xiao Qian, come on! Drag out this bewitching-looking demon girl who even speaks with a seductive energy for this palace!
Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded when they heard this.
Gu Qing stood up even more suddenly!
Xiao Qian was also shocked, she thought she had misheard, didn't she just be named out......?
"Don't you understand what Bengong said? Xiaoyu!" Seeing that no one in the hall dared to move, Gu Ning suddenly slapped the case and became angry, her eyes swept over everyone in the hall with angry eyes, but she ignored Gu Qing.
"Queen......" Gu Qing opened his mouth, but felt that his lips were dry and dry, and even the throat was dry and about to smoke.
"The Queen's Mother...... Xiao Qian has abided by the palace rules since she entered the palace, and has never done anything hurtful, today I don't know where to do something wrong to make the mother angry, and I hope that the queen will forgive her sins and give Xiao Qian a chance to reform herself......"
Seeing that Xiao Yu and the eunuchs had already come up to arrest people, Xiao Qian knelt on the ground with her knees forward, and kept muttering about the hope that the queen would be gracious, and her forehead slammed on the cold floor again and again, until her forehead broke the skin and appeared layer after layer of blood.
"Blame ......" Gu Ning deliberately paused when he spoke, his eyes seemed to guide Xiao Qian to look at Gu Qing, and then said slowly: "If you want to blame, you can only blame you, you were born at the wrong time." ”
Born ahead of one's time......
What a good excuse, when a person's power is big enough to cover the sky, even human life can be summed up in a simple sentence, and four words can be regarded as the end of Xiaoqian's life.
Gu Qing's eyes looked at Xiao Qian's poignant eyes, and her pupils seemed to say, "Your concubine save me, your concubine save me......"
And she could only stand still and watch all this, but there was nothing she could do.
Xiao Yu had already ordered the eunuchs to put Xiao Qian up, seeing that Xiao Qian, who was crying and begging for mercy and hopeless, was about to be carried out of the hall, she trembled for no reason when she thought of Gu Ning's words of cutting her waist, Gu Qing's heart was pinched together, and she was eager to open her mouth to defend something, so she opened her mouth and shouted: "Stop!"
The main hall was silent.
Gu Qing felt that her legs were trembling all the time, her heartbeat was rising sharply, and when she was about to stop Xiao Yu's actions again, her head was dizzy and she fell forward.
Before closing her eyes, she could only hear the exclamations of Jinque and Rong Guifei, and at the moment when Gu Qing was still conscious, her fingers touched the sachet on her waist.
I can't tell who made the mistake, first Wu Cairen slapped Gu Qing and committed it, and then he was heartbroken by Xiao Qian's imminent beheading, and the imperial doctor came to diagnose and check, and he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he only prescribed some drugs to calm his mind.
This incident alarmed Liancheng.
At that time, he was discussing state affairs with several ministers in the Qiankun Palace, and Gonggong Zhao got the grapevine that Gu Qing had fainted in Ningxing Palace, and Liancheng immediately left the ministers and hurried to Ningxing Palace.
The first person I saw when I arrived at Ningxing Palace was naturally Gu Ning, her grace and luxury were already different from before, Lian Cheng was about to accuse something, but he thought that Gu Qing was pregnant and it was inconvenient to toss around, so he just ignored her with a cold face, and walked towards the side hall with a sullen head.
The imperial physician stood aside respectfully and waited for the arrival of the emperor, and he said: "Back to the emperor, the foundation of Wan Guifei's body is already weak, and her heart palpitations will be on fire for a while, and being washed will lead to a coma. It's just that Weichen is still a little curious, I don't know what Wan Guifei has eaten before, Weichen always thinks that she has eaten something related to her fainting. ”
Jinque listened intently and replied: "Concubine Wan came to the small banquet set up by the queen, and she didn't know what she ate. But before this, Wan Guifei had not eaten anything else. ”
Gu Ning's expression changed when he heard this, and a pair of terrifying eyes stared at the sparrow tightly: "Sparrow, there must be evidence for everything, even the dishes on the table today are being enjoyed by the palace itself, is it possible to poison her alone?"
The sparrow lowered her head and didn't speak, Lian Cheng glanced at it lightly, and after confirming that Gu Qing was fine, she slowly moved her body to the upper position that originally belonged to Gu Ning.
"Say, how can you be in the mood to have a small banquet today?" To say that this Gu Ning'an is kind-hearted, he really can't believe it, but he can't be punished according to speculation.
Besides, before...... Doesn't he owe her too? If it weren't for his own order, I'm afraid he would have had a child of his own by now.
Gu Ning has changed, if she had faced the emperor's questioning before, she would have been so scared that she didn't even dare to speak loudly. But now, she knelt quietly at the foot of Liancheng, abandoning all the glory on her head, and surrendering to his knees alone.
"Back to the emperor, the concubine originally thought of the late autumn, the deciduous trees could not help but add to the sadness of parting, and the atmosphere in the palace was cold enough, the concubine did not want to let such a negative atmosphere continue to pervade, so she set up a small banquet to ease the atmosphere. I didn't expect ......."
Who would have thought?
"And then?" Lian Cheng asked again, what he actually meant by his question, why did he invite Gu Qinglai, and why did she get slapped for no reason?
And these, Gu Ning can't say a thing or two.
"If the emperor has any opinions about the concubines, you can wait for Sister Qing'er to wake up and ask clearly. The concubine swore that everything the concubine said was true, and there was no falsehood, and I hope the emperor will see it!"
It's another polite and cheesy official talk.
Liancheng is really bored, the small harem knows the trouble all day long, it's not this today, tomorrow is that.
