readx;? Lu Yingquan listened to the Queen Mother's words, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

But although she was not as thoughtful as Yun Yao, she also had her way to avoid this catastrophe, and when she muttered for a moment, she said to the Queen Mother with a smile:

"The Queen Mother, a good body is raised. The slaves and maids used to be in the Yeting Palace, and they had never seen anything good, but now that the emperor is willing to reward them, the slaves and maids naturally accept them. If you take care of your body, you can better share the worries of the Queen Mother, don't you say?"

Lu Yingquan's words are also quite interesting, first saying that he has not seen anything good, degrading himself as an ignorant woman who has never seen the world, and then saying that he accepted the emperor's reward, and then showed the queen mother that she is a greedy person for money, and let the queen mother know that she has weaknesses. The last sentence is very appropriate, the tone is lively but intimate, but it is deeply favored by the Queen Mother.

"Hahaha-you girl, you can talk with one mouth. The Queen Mother smiled, "Yun Yao, look at you, a good sister, you have been by the emperor's side for a long time, and you have become a lot smarter. ”

"They are all the Queen Mother's profound blessings and good teachings. Yun Yao also patted her ass on the back.

The Queen Mother was very happy, and knew that Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan hadn't come to Jianzhang Palace together for a long time, so she asked Xiao Haizi to send the things that the palace concubine gave Yun Yao back to the Hehuan Palace, leaving Yun Yao chatting in the palace.

On the top of the main hall, the Queen Mother sat on the soft couch, Jinxiu stood behind her, Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao stood in front of the Queen Mother, one was docile and respectful, the other was playful and lively, but there was also a different scene.

"In the past, I only thought that the Queen Mother was beautiful and noble, but now when I see Niangniang talking and laughing with Lu Shangyi and Yun Shao, I feel that Niangniang is younger and more beautiful than before. At this time, Wu Qianwen walked in from outside, entered with all her money, and said to the Queen Mother, "If this kind of picture is placed in the homes of ordinary people, others are afraid that this is a fight between sisters." ”

Wu Qianwen's words really changed her tricks to praise the Queen Mother for being young and beautiful, and with Yun Yao and her fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, she didn't look old at all.

These words made the Queen Mother laugh even more, and said bluntly: "What day is it today, why are you girls, all of your mouths are as sweet as honey? ”

"The queen mother, the affairs of the harem concubines, the queen mother has her own worries, I believe that there is a young envoy in the clouds, and she will be able to share a lot of worries for the queen mother. Wu Qianwen continued.

This is also true, the mourning family is always old, and the harem will also be the world of young people. The Queen Mother said, and then asked, "By the way, Qianwen, why did you suddenly remember here?"

"How did the Queen Mother forget, the courtiers have the heart to make friends with two female officials. Wu Qianwen didn't hide her purpose at all, "Last time, the time was short, and I couldn't have a good time chatting with Yun Shao, I felt sorry, but today while Lu Shangyi was also there, the courtiers naturally wanted to come to join in the fun." ”

"What's the matter? It's suffocating to live in the mourning palace, isn't it?" asked the Queen Mother.

"How could it be? The Queen Mother, I can't hide it, the courtiers came here today to inquire about Lu Shangyi, what news has come from General Gu. Wu Qianwen said, "It has been a long time since General Gu followed Yang Yushi to the south, and there have been frequent disasters in the south, and the courtiers are worried after all. ”

"Speaking of which, the mourning family may not have heard from the south for a long time. The Queen Mother's eyes flashed slightly, she turned her head to look at Lu Yingquan, and asked, "Coincidentally, the mourning family called you today to ask about it, so you can say it together." ”

"Wow. Lu Yingquan listened to the Queen Mother's words, and immediately spoke, and told the Queen Mother everything Gu Qingming said word for word, including Gu Qingming's discovery that the arrows used by those assassins were only from Beidi.

Yun Yao already knew about these things, so she stood aside, listened to Lu Yingquan's words, and thought about Yingquan's intentions in her heart.

It is a matter of Daning's safety and responsibility, and sooner or later it will be known by the Queen Mother, if Lu Yingquan conceals it at this time, when the Queen Mother knows the truth, I am afraid it will also be the day of Lu Yingquan's death. So Lu Yingquan chose to tell the truth, anyway, it was just a report, without verification and no evidence, it was just news for the Queen Mother.

"Is the general okay?" Wu Qianwen hurriedly exclaimed when she heard that there was an assassin, and asked.

Lu Yingquan glanced at Wu Qianwen, and said nonchalantly: "I didn't follow General Gu, how can I know about his situation there? But since he can write a recital, I think it should be fine." ”

As soon as Wu Qianwen heard Lu Yingquan's tone, she felt that Lu Yingquan deliberately didn't want to tell herself about General Gu, and she remembered that day in Jianzhang Palace, she had a-for-tat confrontation with Lu Yingquan, and the last time she had the intention to make friends, but was rejected by Yun Yao, she felt more and more that Lu Yingquan was interested in Gu Qingming.

And Lu Yingquan also knew Wu Qianwen's thoughts, but she didn't even have the slightest intention of explaining, it seemed that she was letting Wu Qianwen misunderstand, because she felt that this would at least allow Yun Yao to hide her identity.

"Your Majesty, what do you think about this matter?" the Queen Mother asked again.

"The emperor still doesn't have a clue. Lu Yingquan said, "The Beidi people are cunning, and it was the Qin generals who were brave enough to repel the Beidi people." What the emperor meant was that Beidi had not yet recovered his vitality, and he was afraid of General Qin's prestige, so he didn't dare to fight with real swords and guns on the battlefield, so he could only do such a thing. ”

When Yun Yao heard this, she secretly applauded Lu Yingquan in her heart.

She felt more and more that during the days when Lu Yingquan entered the inner palace and became the emperor Shangyi, the whole person really learned a lot. In the past, he spoke without his brain, and he was always impulsive and bad, but today in Jianzhang Palace, he answered with the Queen Mother like a stream, and there was no flaw at all.

Fang Cai's words, Yingquan praised Qin Yuankai and General Qin, I have to say that Qin Yuankai's combat ability is indeed good, but before Qin Yuankai, the northern border has always been guarded by Gu Qingming, and the Beidi people were also repelled by Gu Qingming.

Only in the battle last winter, Qin Yuankai led the troops for the first time, and won a complete victory with the help of Gu Qingming. And Lu Yingquan took advantage of this incident to praise General Qin, which is equivalent to indirectly praising the Queen Mother's Qin family.

After the queen mother's pass, Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they were not suspected by the queen mother.

The sky was getting dark, and Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan had not been short to come to Jianzhang Palace, so they left one after another, and Wu Qianwen also volunteered to send off the two female officials, so she also resigned from the queen mother and left the hall.

After the three of them went out, the smile that was still on the queen mother's face disappeared in an instant, and then she turned her head and ordered: "Jinxiu, you go and have a look." ”

The Queen Mother is not a stupid person, although the topic was diverted when we talked just now, Lu Yingquan's attitude towards Wu Qianwen is really a bit incomprehensible.

On the way out of the main hall, Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao didn't talk much, after all, there were outsiders present, and they didn't know what to say.

"Lu Shangyi, Young Envoy Yun, I always heard that the two of you are sisters in the palace, and you have a good relationship, but I don't know that you are walking on the road, but you don't talk much. Wu Qianwen opened her mouth and asked, "Fang Cai is so depressed and ingenious in front of the Queen Mother, but he still has to hold back when he leaves the main hall, he must be sad in his heart, right?"

"Miss Wu, Yingquan and I spoke in front of the Queen Mother, every word was sincere, every sentence was true, and there was never the slightest hint of suppression and ingenuity. What's more, in Jianzhang Palace, as long as you are open-minded, how can you say that you are depressed?" Yun Yao refuted Wu Qianwen's words, and then asked, "Could it be that Miss Wu's praise for the Queen Mother is all for flattery, not sincerity?"

"You ......" Wu Qianwen didn't expect that Yun Yao was quiet and very restrained on weekdays, but she could speak so sharply.

That's right, how can a woman who can survive in the palace for so long, from a third-class palace maid to a woman who has climbed to the position of a fifth-rank young envoy, be such a simple person?

Lu Yingquan knew that Wu Qianwen was deliberately picking on thorns for Gu Qingming, her eyes looked at Wu Qianwen, and she saw the handkerchief she was holding in her hand, so her heart moved, and she asked:

"Miss Wu, I see that your handkerchief is well embroidered, did you embroider it yourself?

Wu Qianwen saw that Lu Yingquan took the initiative to mention the veil, and affirmed her guess in her heart, feeling that Lu Yingquan liked Gu Qingming, so she was not polite, handed the veil to Lu Yingquan's hand, and said:

"I grew up in the army since I was a child, and the embroidery was rough, which made Lu Shangyi smile. It's just that although this veil is ordinary, but the pattern on it is the general's favorite, he once told me personally, he loves honeysuckle flowers, so I embroidered this veil, when I can't see him, it is also a thought. ”

When Wu Qianwen said this, she bit the word "kiss" very hard, as if she was telling Lu Yingquan that Gu Qingming had several private contacts with her, and talked about the wind and snow, and even told her favorite flowers.

"So that's ......" Lu Yingquan took the handkerchief, as if looking at it very carefully, then turned around and walked a few steps, just walked to the side of the mirror lake next to it, and as soon as he raised his hand, the handkerchief floated out with the summer evening breeze, landed on the lake, and gradually drifted away.

After doing all this, Lu Yingquan turned around and said to Wu Qianwen in surprise: "I'm sorry, Miss Wu, I like your handkerchief so much that I accidentally got it into the water...... I don't think I can get it back, so why don't I embroider a new handkerchief to compensate you, okay?"

"You!" Wu Qianwen saw that the handkerchief she had finally embroidered fell into the water, but the initiator still looked innocent, and her heart was extremely depressed, "I'm going to tell the Queen Mother!"

Looking at Wu Qianwen's somewhat angry face, Yun Yao spoke at this time: "I don't know what Miss Wu wants to tell the Queen Mother? Did you mean that Yingquan accidentally dropped your handkerchief into the water?"

"Where she was careless, she clearly did it on purpose!" Wu Qianwen said.

"But I think about it, and Yingquan has no reason to deliberately throw Miss Wu's handkerchief. Yun Yao said.

"She likes General Gu. Wu Qianwen said, "Don't think I can't see it, she's just jealous, she knows that the general loves honeysuckle, she can't tolerate anything related to the general on me, and she doesn't want to tell me the news of the general!"
