Queen Meng was a little flustered and pretended to be angry. When she was in Zhenghou's mansion, although she was not favored by Zhenghou because of Jiaoyu's mother and son, she had a brother above her, which took away the attention of her biological mother, Mrs. Xiang. Both parents were not favored. No matter how much he cares about his children, she is her legitimate daughter after all, and she is loved by Empress Dowager Meng, so she still has maids to serve her.
This gilt hollow silver aromatherapy ball is a new one. I haven’t used it yet, so I’m not very good at it. After putting it in for a long time, the charcoal was not installed properly, and I almost burned myself. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and moved my leg in time. Even so, there were still holes in the hem of the skirt.
"Your Majesty." Gongsun Xi heard the Queen's low exclamation outside the bead curtain. He looked up and saw the figure originally sitting on the curtain suddenly stood up. He asked in surprise, "What's wrong with Your Majesty?"
Queen Meng paused and then said: "It's nothing, the charcoal fell to the ground, please wait a moment."
Gongsun Xi wanted to say that he really didn't need to go to such trouble. In fact, the queen was delaying himself from getting familiar with the terrain, calculating the retreat route, etc. by insisting on giving him this and that. However, even though he didn't have much thoughts about the love between children, he instinctively felt that it was better not to say such true words at this moment.
So after hesitating for a moment, he said: "My dear, the charcoal fire is dangerous, why not do it yourself?"
"... Everything has fallen to the floor, you come in and clean it up." Queen Meng was startled, stood up to collect herself, and planned to bend down to pick them up one by one. After hearing this, she changed her mind and turned to the side. After walking a few steps, he whispered, "Chun Lai is not here, I... I don't know what to do?"
Gongsun Xi said that the original intention of his coming was to ask the queen to hand over the aromatherapy balls and silver frost charcoal from the bead curtain. But now the queen asked him to go in. He was startled and did not answer immediately.
When Queen Meng saw this, her cheeks turned crimson, and she felt hot. She thought to herself: "He... he is... does he think I don't know how to behave?"
In fact, the queen had no other intention, she just wanted to take a closer look at Gongsun Xi.
At this moment, Gongsun Xi was so silent, but it seemed that she had evil intentions, and she was immediately embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
There was silence in the palace for a moment. Seeing that the atmosphere was getting stiffer and stiffer, the queen already had the idea of turning around and entering the back hall, but she saw Gongsun Xi whispering: "Yes!"
Then he took a few steps forward, parted the bead curtain, and walked in.
Empress Meng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a little at a loss. She subconsciously wanted to pluck her hair from her temples to relieve her tension, but as soon as she raised her hand, she wondered if this action might be a bit of a coquettish gesture. He froze for a moment, and finally just clasped his hands on his lower abdomen, looked at the silver frost charcoal and aromatherapy balls scattered on the ground, and whispered: "Be careful, don't burn your hands."
"Thank you for your advice." Gongsun Xi actually didn't pay attention to the queen's movements at all. Although he came in, he always followed the etiquette requirements and lowered his eyes slightly, so that he couldn't even see the queen's arms.
Previously, the queen was sitting on the soft couch facing the bead curtain to fill the aromatherapy ball with charcoal. As soon as he came in, he saw the charcoal fire falling on the floor in front of the couch, but the aromatherapy ball was nowhere to be seen. After searching nearby, I had to look up and look at the Queen, "My Lady, where are the gilt and hollow silver aromatherapy balls you mentioned?"
Queen Meng looked at him. Her originally blushing cheeks looked more and more like she was drunk. They were so red that they were almost bleeding. She said nonchalantly, "Did you roll under the soft couch?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gongsun Xi looking at his sleeves, his face speechless.
She lowered her head and saw that half of a ball was exposed in the middle of the crimson sleeves. Wasn't it the gilt hollow silver aromatherapy ball
"..." The queen opened her mouth, and after a while she said with shame, "I forgot."
Gongsun Xi originally wanted to take it silently, but Queen Meng stared at her closely. He always felt that if he didn't say anything at this time, the queen would burst into tears. He hesitated and said, "The queen was scared just now." Are you okay? Have you ever been burned?"
Who knew it would be better not to speak. As soon as she opened her mouth, the queen became more and more panicked. She wanted to hand him the gilded hollow silver aromatherapy ball from her sleeve, but she let go before he could catch it and saw that the aromatherapy ball was about to fall to the palace bricks. On the way up, the queen quickly reached out to grab the aromatherapy ball. This time she missed the aromatherapy ball, but just caught Gongsun Xi's wrist.
This man was thin, and his wrists were on the thin side compared to men of his age. However, his strength was not weak at all, and his reactions were faster. Almost as soon as the queen grabbed his wrist, she subconsciously twisted and turned to free him. , and subconsciously pushed the queen.
Queen Meng was shocked by the sudden skin-to-skin contact. How could she have expected that Gongsun Xi would attack her
Immediately he was pushed and staggered, he stepped on the hem of his skirt absentmindedly, and fell to the ground with a low cry!
"...Mother, you have despised Meng Lang!" Gongsun Xi finally realized that the person in front of him was the queen of the deep palace who had no strength to restrain a chicken and accidentally grabbed her wrist, instead of having ulterior motives and trying to seize her vitals. He was an enemy, he felt annoyed, bowed and saluted, "Please punish me!"
Queen Meng was bitter for a while. She knew that Gongsun Xi might not have any special feelings for her, so she didn't dare to show it too obviously. It was just an unintentional mistake on her part, so she just refused to let her touch him. After breaking away, he actually pushed himself!
What does it mean
Are you so disgusted by him? !
I also thought about my own experience in this life. I was born as the direct daughter of the Meng family, but because of the favoritism of my biological mother and the instigation of doting on concubines, I was not happy at all in her natal family.
After finally reaching the age to leave the court, the Meng clan needed chess pieces, so he made a decree and became the successor to his cousin who was over fifty years old at the age of twenty-eight.
In name, he is the lord of the middle palace, but in fact, it's okay if he doesn't give orders to Wangchun Palace. Thank God if the Shu sisters don't cause trouble!
Then Meng's plan didn't go well either. The little prince born to Concubine Meng and King Guangling was already considered dead in public. God knows if Meng will give up on her because of this
The only man she had looked at in a different light for more than ten years, even if she accidentally touched him, she would push him on the spot to retaliate... The more the queen thought about it, the sadder she became, and her eyes gradually filled with tears.
Gongsun Xi maintained his bowing posture for a while, but Queen Meng didn't say anything. He hesitated for a moment and raised his head to take a peek at what the Queen was doing.
When he saw it, he saw the queen supporting the ground with one hand and covering her mouth with the other. Tears were streaming down her face, but she was crying silently.
He was stunned, and suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, because he had little contact with women, and even fewer cried in front of him. Especially now that the queen had made it clear that he was the one who made her cry. What should she do
"I just say that this kind of delicate and fragile girl should be kept at a distance!" Gongsun Xi thought with a headache, "I actually stopped trying and didn't put in the effort! If I really put in the effort, the Queen will probably die even if she doesn't. Take away half of her life...why is she still crying?"
He himself had no experience in dealing with this kind of situation. After thinking about it, he felt that he could only imitate the Sheng Weiqiao who had seen Rong Suihe coaxing his hair. He coughed dryly and stepped forward and said: "My dear, all the mistakes you make are just a humble job." It's your fault, you feel unhappy, just punish the humble employee to vent your anger, but don't let your anger break your body! Besides, it's dark now and the ground is cold, why don't you get up first and talk?"
It's just that Rong Suihe couldn't imitate Rong Suihe's affectionate and teasing tone. He spoke coldly and expressionlessly, which seemed to be prevarication to calm the trouble.
The Queen became increasingly unhappy and continued to cry after hearing this, but just ignored it.
Gongsun Xi was embarrassed for a while, and continued to try to recall the scene when Rong Suihe comforted Sheng Weiqiao. He used to be most annoyed by Sheng Weiqiao's fuss, but now he felt that Sheng Weiqiao's fuss was actually quite good. Because according to his understanding of the princess, if Sheng Weiqiao was accidentally pushed down by Rong Suihe, he would most likely jump up immediately, grab Rong Suihe and beat him up.
Then Rong Suihe just needs to stay close to her and apologize after she finishes the beating.
But Queen Meng was clearly not the fierce and unruly character of Sheng Weiqiao. She didn't say anything or make a fuss when she was wronged, she just cried silently... This
"Empress, why don't you push me to a lower position?" Gongsun Xi thought for a moment, squatted down, approached the queen, and asked cautiously, "How many times will it take... How about you give me a beating?" "
When the queen heard this, she paused and looked at him with tearful eyes for a while. Then she moved the hand covering her face upwards, covering most of her face. Her shoulders twitched and she cried harder!
Gongsun Xi: “…”
He now somewhat understood why Rong Suihe sometimes called Sheng Weiqiao "ancestor".
The queen before her also had the urge to make him kneel down, kowtow three times and call "ancestor"!
yes!
I'm not right!
I shouldn't have pushed you!
The problem is, I am already admitting my mistake!
Just tell me what you want to do!
Not to mention asking you to push back, asking you to chop a few times is just a trivial matter!
You keep crying and crying...what do you want to do? ! !
At this time, Gongsun Xi painfully realized the benefits of Gongsun Yingjiang, because if he accidentally pushed Gongsun Yingjiang, Gongsun Yingjiang would never cry, and most likely he would feel that he had taken advantage and be complacent.
Even Sheng Weiqiao is very cute: the princess of the county must have raised her eyebrows and asked him why he offended her. She was so angry that it was impossible to get back the situation by herself. So if you admit your mistakes, you should be punished... How refreshing
As for this Meng Ancestor, how long does she want to cry? ?
It's not like Gongsun Xi can't do anything about this kind of fragile female who doesn't like to make trouble. If it were a young lady, even if he made him cry, he would have left long ago if he couldn't ask for a charter after crying like this. , just let people fend for themselves.
After all, in Tortoiseshell Island before, he had seen many abducted ladies crying to death. If this hand could suppress him, he would not be able to survive today.
The problem is that the Queen is an ally, and we need her help for the next actions!
Where can I be offended to death
Gongsun Xi was so mad that he simply changed from squatting to kneeling, prostrated himself with a plop, kowtowed to the queen three times, and almost begged: "Empress, if you want to kill or behead me, can you give me the right words?" ?”
