Chapter Eighty-Eight: Concubine Cui

Put down the cat in their hands, the two of them were so busy that before they knew it, it was noon.

"Tired, aren't you?" Gong Qingping wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and smiled at Gong Que, "Go in and rest before leaving." ”

Gong Que had never entered his room before, and couldn't help but ask a little timidly, "Is it okay?" ”

"What's not to do? You are my royal sister. Gong Qingping walked to the small pool on the side, cleaned his hands and said, "Just stay here for a while and eat, and the imperial brother will give you noodles." ”

"Wow, Brother Nine Emperors, do you still have noodles?"

"I understand a little bit."

"Good~"

Gong Que obediently entered the house and waited.

The place where Gong Qingping lives is very simple, which is a peculiar stream of fresh water in this magnificent harem.

Unlike elsewhere, there was only one bed, a couch, a table, and two chairs in his room.

On the wall hung a pair of erhus, perhaps played often, and its bow was already yellowed with sweat.

Gong Que walked in quietly, staring at the erhu viewer carefully, and didn't even notice Gong Qingping coming in with his face.

"Chi Chi but you like it?" Looking at Gong Que's stupid gaze, the corners of Gong Qingping's lips couldn't help but smile a little, "If you like it, take it to play." ”

Gong Que came back to his senses, shook his head, and said crisply: "I won't be like this for a long time." ”

Immediately, he obediently ran to the table and prepared to eat.

Looking at the royal sister who was like a little gluttonous cat, Gong Qingping couldn't help but scratch her little nose, and smiled helplessly: "Little gluttonous cat." ”

Gong Que shrugged his small nose, smiled, and acquiesced to Gong Qingping's words.

"By the way, Brother Nine Emperors, tomorrow is the spring hunt, will you go then?"

A certain little gluttonous cat picked up a few noodles and sent them to his mouth, I have to say, the level below her royal brother is called a good wow!

The noodles are firm and Q-elastic, and the soup is not salty or light.

Gong Qingping seemed to think for a moment and shook his head: "I probably won't go." ”

"Why?" Gong Que blurted out, and immediately, she realized that she had said too much, and quickly covered her mouth and shook her head.

"It's nothing, I've been isolated from the outside world for a long time, and I look like a rotten person, but it will make people uncomfortable when I go."

Gong Qingping said very lightly, and his eyes were trapped under his long eyelashes.

He must want to go too, right?

Gong Que silently ate the noodles in the bowl.

Who wouldn't want to be lively and happy with their siblings?

If he can really endure loneliness, why does he have a yard of small animals?

She looked down in thought, trying to find a way to have both.

"But." Gong Que opened his mouth, and his immature voice contained twelve points of seriousness.

This made Gong Qingping, who was originally eating noodles with his head down, raise his head, and his eyes fell directly on her.

He saw the little group in front of him looking at him eagerly, and his words were full of begging: "But...... Chi Chi really seems to be playing with the Nine Emperor Brothers. ”

"It's not just Chi Chi, the other royal brothers and sisters also want to play with the Nine Emperor Brothers."

Speaking of which, Gong Que put his hands together softly, and kept coquettishly to Gong Qingping with a milk dream and a cute voice, like a child who asked for candy from an adult:

"Brother Nine Emperors, please, hang out with us."

In an instant, Gong Qingping's heart trembled slightly.

But he really couldn't face the small animals that were hunted.

The thought of their helpless eyes made his heart feel as if it were being held together by an invisible hand, and it was very uncomfortable.

"It's really not good, I asked the royal brothers and sisters to release those little animals, okay?"

Gong Que looked at him with a pair of big moist eyes, looking like a cute puppy.

But the puppy can't speak, she can.

Under the attack of Gong Que's gaze, Gong Qingping was defeated all of a sudden, and helplessly touched Gong Que's little head and couldn't help but show a smile: "You, ......"

"What a defeat for you."

Gong Que was very satisfied: she knew that this trick was unpleasant to use repeatedly.

And this child has encircled himself since he was a child and does not deal with people, which will cause psychological problems over time.

The last child who was so well-behaved was dead, and she didn't want the child in front of her to suffer psychologically all the time.

It's always good to go out and run around and make a fuss.

"Then, the Nine Emperor Brothers can promise to be late, pull the hook!"

Gong Que stretched out his little finger delicately, and his eyebrows and eyes were curved like a crescent moon, which was particularly moving.

Seeing her like this, Gong Qingping stretched out his little finger like a child and hooked it: "Okay, good, a gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." ”

Gong Que Yizheng said: "No, it's a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand horses that are difficult to chase!" ”

Gong Qingping smiled dumbly: "How can there be so many horses?" ”

……

On the way back to Yongxu Palace, Gong Que was smiling, she always felt that she hadn't been so happy for a long time.

The happiness on weekdays is just pretending, and she has practiced it day after day in front of the mirror.

She is indifferent by nature, does not like to laugh, and does not take care of people.

She's just very good at acting.

After coming into this world, she always felt that she had changed.

Xu is God wants to make up for her lack of emotion, but accidentally let her cross over to such a slaughterhouse that eats people and does not spit out bones.

Just thinking about it, she walked to the Imperial Garden, and it was April when the apricot blossoms were flying.

She wanted to secretly break a branch and take it back to Yongxu Palace, put it in a clean bottle and raise it, it was pleasant to look at and smell.

Just as she was trying to stretch out her little short arm to pick a branch, she heard footsteps coming, and she was so frightened that she quickly withdrew her hand.

Picking flowers is immoral, and she doesn't dare to do it in front of others.

It was a long time before she saw a richly dressed old woman slowly approaching her.

She was followed by a middle-aged woman, who was cautiously talking to her.

This is?

Gong Que thought that he had never seen her, and tilted his little head in confusion.

The man also saw her, and glanced at the woman next to her, and the woman immediately understood, walked in front of Gong Que with an arrow, and scolded sharply:

"The concubine is here, why don't you little girl come to see you soon?!"

"Concubine......" Gong Que looked at the person in front of him, and said with some hesitation, "Milk...... Milk? ”

No, if it is said that it is the grandmother of the palace, it should be called the queen mother.

Hearing Gong Que say those two words, the concubine was a little surprised, slowly raised her hand, and beckoned Gong Que over.

Gong Que obediently walked up to her and looked up at her.

This concubine is very well maintained, even though she has passed the age of sixties, the years have not left many traces of wind and frost on her face, but she has added a little bit of temperament that has been precipitated over the years.

Seeing that the little group in front of her was so well-behaved, Concubine Cui was very satisfied, and stretched out her wrinkled hand and touched her little head.

"It was a princess." The woman who had just questioned the palace hurriedly stepped forward, saw the concubine glanced at her, and immediately knew what Concubine Cui wanted to ask, and said with a smile, "I don't know which princess the princess is?" ”

Gong Que replied crisply: "Yongxu Palace, the third princess, Gong Que Palace is delayed." ”

Yongsu Palace......

Concubine Cui frowned, thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered that the one in Yongxu Palace was originally the daughter of the first concubine.

Wasn't Mrs. Xu's family beheaded by the whole house, and she didn't die?

Seeing the man's puzzled gaze, Gong Que naturally knew what she was thinking, but this old lady seemed to be a little different from others-

From now on, she has never spoken a word to herself.

"Why wouldn't Grandma talk to Chi Chi? Did you make grandma unhappy? ”

Concubine Cui smiled and shook her head.

The woman on the side hurriedly came up and explained: "Third princess, the concubine Niangniang, her throat has been injured, and it is inconvenient for her to speak. ”

"Oh." Gong Que nodded.

I see.

I saw Concubine Cui withdraw her hand and gesture at her, and the people on the side followed the translator: "The concubine asked why you are here alone, why don't you see a palace maid following?" ”

"Well...... Gong Que said, "I just went to see the Nine Emperor Brothers, and the Nine Emperor Brothers don't like to come into contact with outsiders, so they didn't dare to take Sister Yu'er with them." ”

"As for coming here, it's because I saw the apricot blossoms here for a long time, and I couldn't help but think of the sentence 'Apricot Blossom Spring Rain Jiangnan', so I thought about breaking a branch and taking it back to raise, but I didn't expect to bump into your grandmother, so I ......"

Speaking of this, Gong Que smiled narrowly and touched the delicate little nose.

When Concubine Cui saw that she was so delicate, she sent someone to fold an apricot blossom for her.

Gong Que was overjoyed: "Grandma is so good, thank you grandma!" ”

Looking at the cheering little girl in front of her, Concubine Cui couldn't help but bend the corners of her lips and gesture to her.

"The concubine has something to do, so she won't accompany the princess, and if the princess has time another day, she will come to see the concubine."

The person next to him translated.

Gong Que's eyebrows and eyes are crooked: "Okay! I will definitely make a lot of delicious food to see grandma after a long time! ”

Concubine Cui also smiled, nodded, and walked past Gong Que's side.

The moment he passed by, Gong Que looked at the apricot blossom in his hand, and his smile faded suddenly.

Lady's ......
