Chapter 182: The Dark Tide is surging

Immortal Blessing Palace Ningshou Hall

When Emperor Dehui arrived, the Queen Mother was still resting, and Pei Rong hurriedly arranged for several beautiful and clever palace ladies to come to serve, and she entered the inner hall.

At this time, a palace lady was serving a freshly brewed tea to Emperor Dehui, who was still a little absent-minded, but when he saw this woman's beautiful appearance, he suddenly had a little interest, and immediately leaned over to her hand and sniffed, "It's so fragrant." ”

I saw that Gong E's hands serving tea trembled slightly, but I didn't know if it was surprise or panic.

Seeing this, Emperor Dehui couldn't help but chuckle: "This aroma made me a little unable to distinguish whether it was the fragrance of this tea or the fragrance of you. ”

When Gong E heard this, her cheeks flushed with two touches, and she hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it is probably because the slave maid went to Meilin before, so she was stained with the fragrance of plum blossoms. ”

Emperor Dehui said "um", took a sip of the teacup, suddenly his eyes froze, and then he raised his lips and smiled: "This tea is clear in the mouth, and the aftertaste is sweet, but it is cooked with the snow dew on the plum blossoms this morning?" ”

Gong E was a little surprised, raised her eyes and secretly glanced at Emperor Dehui, then immediately lowered her head and replied, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

"I didn't know that there was such a beauty in the palace of the Queen Mother who could make tea." Emperor Dehui looked at her with great interest and ordered, "Raise your head and let me see." ”

Gong E followed her words and slowly raised her head.

I saw that her skin was like plain snow and cream, her eyebrows were like light smoke and willows, and her watery eyes were shy and timid, looking more and more moist and smart, like a young deer crashing into Emperor Dehui's eyes, Emperor Dehui's eyes flashed, and his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be softened.

Sure enough, it's a beauty billet.

Emperor Dehui half-narrowed his eyes, looked at her for a moment, a vague smile overflowed at the corner of his lips, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Gong E looked at Emperor Dehui's handsome and comfortable face, and was a little distracted for a while, but it took a long time to stabilize the throbbing in her heart, and replied sneeringly: "Slave, slave maid is called Xue Shi." ”

"Snow poetry? Treading the snow in search of poetry...... The name is appropriate. ”

Emperor Dehui groaned softly, and suddenly reached out and pulled Xue Shi's arm and pulled her towards him, and Xue Shi suddenly fell on his lap.

"Ah, Your Majestyβ€”" Xue Shi let out a shocked voice, for fear of angering the person in front of her, and was in a hurry to get up, but was firmly held down by Emperor Dehui.

"Don't be afraid." Emperor Dehui took advantage of the situation to hug her waist, his eyes wandered on her delicate little face, the smile on the corner of his lips became deeper and deeper, and he laughed softly in her ear, "It's a pity to stay in the Queen Mother's palace with such craftsmanship, why don't you go back to the Longyin Palace with me and cook tea for me every day?" ”

Emperor Dehui said this, but his hand was restlessly rubbing and squeezing her waist, which made Xue Shi tremble.

"Your Majesty......" Xue Shi's cheeks were hot, ashamed and anxious, but she didn't dare to push him away, so she had to snort softly.

Seeing that her face blushed suddenly, she was still cowardly, and her originally beautiful face was a little coquettish, which became more and more lovable, and the ambiguous scorching light in Emperor Dehui's eyes became more and more intense.

Just when Emperor Dehui was a little embarrassed, he heard a slow but implicitly majestic voice coming from the other side of the inner hall.

"How did the Emperor of the Mourning Family Dao come to the Mourning Family's Xianfu Palace today, it turned out that the drunkard's intention was not to drink."

Before you see him, you hear his voice first. Xue Shi was suddenly shocked, hurriedly struggled from Emperor Dehui, and fell to her knees in panic.

With Pei Rong's support, the Queen Mother slowly walked out of the inner hall.

But seeing that she was wearing a royal blue dotted emerald eight-treasure phoenix hairpin, wearing a cyan flower brocade jacket, although she was nearly in her twilight years, the years did not seem to have left too many traces on her face, and she still had charm and a radiant complexion. But if you look closely, you will find that those eyes still reveal a dull twilight inadvertently.

"I heard that the queen mother was sick, so I came to visit." Emperor Dehui bowed slightly to the Queen Mother without changing his face, but he looked calm and relaxed.

The Queen Mother walked to the couch and sat down, glanced at the pale Xue Shi, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, "According to what the mourning family saw, the emperor came here today, I'm afraid he came to ask the mourning family to cook tea, right?" ”

Emperor Dehui glanced at Xue Shi and said with a smile: "I just mentioned it casually, if the queen mother is reluctant to Xue Shi, how can I rob it?" Butβ€”"

His voice changed abruptly, and he chuckled, "Hasn't the queen mother always been looking for a beauty for me?" I see that the people in your palace are much more pleasing to the eye than those who were sent to me in the past, why are you reluctant to give them to me now? ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she seemed to think of something, her eyes suddenly closed, and a wave of anger instantly jumped from her heart.

In order to stabilize the status of the queen over the years, she has been trying every means to suppress Hua Qiong and weaken the power of the Hua family.

I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Hua Qiong's fox girl poured into the emperor, not only has her status in the harem not been shaken over the years, but the power of the Hua family has become bigger and bigger, and the mother-son relationship between herself and the emperor has become increasingly estranged. Now the emperor is quite deferential to her on the surface, but the emperor has rarely set foot in his Xianfu Palace over the years, but he is afraid that he has already fallen into the divisive scheme of the Hua family's group of thieves, and he has left her heart, how can she not hate her in her heart?

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother's eyebrows sank slightly, she held back the anger in her heart, and said with a smile: "The emperor is complaining that the mourning family is making an assertion, shouldn't he recruit those women into the palace for you?" ”

Emperor Dehui took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and after he put down the teacup slowly, he said softly: "The queen mother is serious, I know that the queen mother also wants me to open up branches and leaves for the royal family. ”

After that, Emperor Dehui glanced at the Queen Mother meaninglessly, then fell on Xue Shi, and said with a smile: "If the Queen Mother doesn't like it, I won't ask you for Xue Shi, and I hope that the Queen Mother will not embarrass her because of my temporary indulgence." ”

As soon as these words came out, the expression on the queen mother's face suddenly froze for a moment, but then the corners of her mouth opened a light smile, "The emperor will pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." ”

She turned her eyes to Xue Shi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Get up, I haven't thanked the emperor yet." ”

Xue Shi had a pale face, as if she had not yet recovered from her panic. She was stunned at first when she heard this, and then kowtowed to the Queen Mother and Emperor Dehui with a respectful and apprehensive expression: "The slave has thanked the emperor, thanked the queen mother." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Pei Rong, who was standing aside, and Pei Rong replied with her head bowed, and then beckoned Xue Shi and a group of maids to exit the hall.

The Queen Mother took a sip of the teacup and nodded approvingly, "Xue Shi's skills in cooking tea are really good." But then the conversation changed, and he said, "It doesn't matter if the emperor asks the mourning family for a girl, it's just that the emperor stays in Qionghua Palace all day long, and he is so busy that he can't even take care of the early dynasty, so where is the time to taste the tea boiled by Xue Shi?" ”

Emperor Dehui gently shook the white jade teacup in his hand, and when he heard this, he raised his eyes slightly, and said casually: "I know the things in the court, and the queen mother doesn't have to worry about me." ”

When the queen mother heard this, her face suddenly sank, and she put the teacup on the table, and her voice was obviously a little colder: "The so-called number in the emperor's mouth means that all the excerpts of the ministers are handed over to Zuo Xiang to deal with?" ”
