"You raise your head first." The old emperor's voice was low and a bit tired, but it still did not reduce his iron-blooded majesty.
Du Suxi was slightly startled, and she naturally understood why. Even so, she raised her head without fear and met the old emperor's gaze.
The old emperor looked at that face and was suddenly startled. After a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Since when did the Du family's youngest daughter have the ability to be so obsessed with my youngest son?"
Although he was smiling, the sharpness in his eyes was extremely frightening. Du Suxi's eyes flashed.
"The emperor was joking. The dead second lady of the Du family looked very similar to the little girl, which made the little girl feel that there are really many wonders in the world. This kind of thing can be regarded as a wonderful marriage. It has its own destiny. It’s a given. It’s God’s will.”
Du Suxi directly introduced the theory of God's will. ; The old emperor naturally had nothing to do.
According to Du Suxi's understanding, in ancient times, due to limited scientific and technological capabilities, some things that could not be easily explained were usually defined by God's will. As the saying goes, the secrets of heaven cannot be leaked, and this is also true.
But Du Suxi could only smile bitterly at the fact that she had inexplicably traveled through many dynasties and arrived here.
The old emperor was really dubious and looked at Du Suxi for a few times. Suddenly he burst into laughter.
"God's will, haha, you little kid, what you said is really clever. The world is so big that there is such a coincidence. It really opened my eyes."
After the old emperor said that, he glanced at Du Suxi with a deep look. Du Suxi's brows moved slightly and he quickly glanced at the old emperor. However, the old emperor's expression was as usual, without any hint of happiness or anger. It was just Du Suxi. But she felt that at that moment, she felt like she had been seen through.
Perhaps, this emperor is not as simple as he imagined. When Du Suxi thought of this, her mind moved slightly, and she became a little more afraid of the old emperor.
"Your Majesty, when I first heard that the Third Highness had offended the Prime Minister for a woman, I thought she was so beautiful that she would be the most beautiful in the country. At least, she should be half as beautiful as the Heavenly Concubine. Unexpectedly, It's really disappointing that this is the case. Could it be that this woman knows some charm skills and confused His Highness the Third?"
A charming voice suddenly spoke. Her words were extremely charming, and judging by her voice, it was obvious that she was a very heart-warming beauty. But compared to Jingwei, it is much worse.
Du Suxi's eyes flickered, and she met the charming woman's gaze without fear. She seemed not to hear the sarcasm in the woman's tone, but instead spoke with a smile. "The empress is serious. The immortal appearance of the empress is rare. How can I, a little girl, be compared with the empress? The empress is really flattering."
The charming woman obviously did not expect that Du Suxi would say such a thing. She looked at Du Suxi and snorted with disdain. She obviously did not take Du Suxi seriously.
Facing this very arrogant woman, Du Suxi smiled indifferently, obviously not taking this woman seriously.
After all, in this sinister harem, although she has extraordinary beauty, she is so heartless. It was destined that she could only become a stepping stone for Jingwei. The word harem carried too many bloody storms, which were far deeper and further than imagined. This was something Du Suxi had never wanted to let go before. The reason why Jingwei entered the palace.
"Okay, Concubine Qin, don't be rude."
The queen suddenly spoke, which invisibly relieved the strange pressure around her. However, those phoenix eyes fell on Du Suxi's side intentionally or unintentionally, and glanced at Du Suxi lightly as if by accident.
No one else noticed, but Du Suxi did
You must understand that that glance was full of warning and caution. It seems that this queen is here for me. Du Suxi lowered her eyes and smiled awkwardly. His mind moved slightly, and he had already changed his mind.
The old emperor, who had been silent all this time, suddenly laughed.
"Tianji Destiny? What a Tianji Destiny. If you weren't the second lady of the Du family, you would still be able to match my third son. But if all this is just a coincidence, my third son, although he has a crush on you, but The world is talking loudly, but it is difficult to calm down. Have you ever understood this?"
The old emperor stared at Du Suxi with burning eyes, and the meaning of his words was already obvious.
This is a temptation, but also a temptation. Du Suxi raised her head and smiled shyly at the old emperor with a clear voice.
"The young lady and His Highness the Third Highness are just irreconcilable friends. There is no relationship between men and women. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
If He Lianheng wants to ascend to the throne, he must have the support of the old emperor. If He Lianheng's opportunity is ruined because of this incident, it will definitely be more of a loss than the gain! When things evolved to such an extent, Du Suxi decided to save He Lianheng without hesitation. As for her, she can only take one step at a time and make decisions at the first sight.
A woman's sharp voice suddenly came.
"Bold, you woman seems innocent and honest, but you never thought you could be so vicious and cunning. You and His Highness the Third Highness obviously have an ambiguous relationship, but yet you are so untrue and deceive the Emperor. What are your intentions? ?”
The one who scolded me was a woman sitting in the last row, with sharp eyes as sharp as a knife.
Du Suxi frowned. Based on her sensitivity to murderous intent, although she didn't look, she could conclude that the woman had murderous intent towards her. No, something is wrong.
Tilting her head slightly, Du Suxi looked at the woman sitting at the end. She had red lips and white teeth, a slightly dark complexion, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. There was no delicate feeling of a woman between her eyebrows, but instead there was a sense of heroism. More importantly, This woman only wore a simple twist and tied her tail, and did not wear a woman's bun that is unique to palace women.
This person is not a palace concubine. Who is she? How can I participate in today's event
A trace of suspicion flashed in Du Suxi's heart, but it didn't show on her face at all. She didn't even look at the woman. She just looked at the emperor sitting in the high hall and spoke seriously.
"Your Majesty, the little girl knows that she is of low status and is not worthy of His Highness. However, the conduct of His Highness really makes me admire him. I am a great man in the world, and I am happy with him. Isn't it unusual for the little girl to have some thoughts about His Highness? What's the matter? What's more, His Highness the Third Highness is a genius of a generation, and his elegance and demeanor are all top-notch. If the little girl can have some interaction with him, she is just admiring His Highness. Please give your advice to the Emperor."
What she said was so impeccable that it even seemed like she was deliberately putting herself down and flattering His Highness, the senior high school student. However, no one could find anything wrong. After hearing this, the heroic woman snorted and said sarcastically.
"With your mediocre looks, do you dare to have wishful thinking about His Highness? You are really shameless!"
Du Suxi's brows furrowed tightly. This woman, one with ulterior motives and another with wishful thinking, had repeatedly suppressed and belittled her. However, she was not a concubine in the palace. There must be some unknown secret in treating her like this. !
Thinking of this, Du Suxi's face flashed, and she raised her head and looked at the "heroic woman" again. She was very sure that this woman was definitely here for him. However, I have always shown my face rarely in Mo Shang Xiangfang, and the predecessor of this body, the real Du Suxi, is also a timid and fearful person. It is definitely impossible to cause trouble, let alone be related to this mysterious person in front of me. There is an intersection between women.
In this case...
Du Suxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and her heart quickly
Got an answer.
This woman probably came for He Lianheng. He Lianheng was good-looking, so it was understandable that this woman was attracted to him.
"Huh, let me just say that Mo Shang Xiangfang is a place of brothels after all. There is nothing good about the women born there."
Concubine Mei also spoke, looking at Du Suxi with a trace of cruelty. Obviously, because of Concubine Tian, Concubine Mei hated the entire Moshang Xiangfang. Facing Du Suxi Xi, a woman from Moshang Xiangfang, naturally would not give up.
"Mei Fei, what do you mean by this?" Tian Fei frowned and looked at Mei Fei with a stern expression. She understood in her heart that although Concubine Mei was temporarily suppressed by herself, the most basic foundation was still there. Even the emperor often went to Concubine Mei's palace. Although Concubine Mei was old and beautiful, she still had the charming charm of a mature woman. However, she can't compare with her feelings. In addition, Jingwei had plotted against Concubine Mei before. The relationship between the two of them can be said to be extremely bad. If it were based on this matter, Concubine Mei would insist on interfering with her. With one kick, the situation was very unfavorable for Du Suxi.
"What does it mean? Literally? Oh, I forgot, Tianfei Empress was also born in that little brothel. Haha, although Tianfei Empress's background is a bit poor, her temperament is excellent and she will never care about me. stop?"
Mei Fei looked at Tian Fei arrogantly with provocative eyebrows, obviously not taking her seriously. She was still arrogant, but what she said blocked Jingwei's escape route.
This Concubine Mei is indeed a scheming senior who is proficient in court arts. No wonder she is so favored and favored. Jingwei, she is really no match for her.
"Mei Fei, you..." Jingwei's delicate eyebrows wrinkled, and he was about to speak, but was interrupted by the old emperor.
"Okay, stop arguing. I'm not here for you to quarrel today. Concubine Mei, Concubine Tian, you two are not allowed to quarrel anymore, otherwise, I will punish you two."
The voice was calm and full of the supreme majesty that an emperor should have. For a moment, Jingwei and Mei Fei could only look at each other unwillingly and end the quarrel.
Du Suxi raised her head and took a deep look at Concubine Mei. She remained silent, but had a different understanding of the emperor in front of her.
The emperor in front of him may be the most terrifying person. Although he has not done anything, he has invisibly grasped everything firmly in the palm of his hand.
It is true that Jingwei came from Moshang Xiangfang and had the same roots as Du Suxi. They had a very close relationship secretly. How could Jingwei not help Du Suxi? However, this kind of situation, even if it is a help, can only happen once. After all, Jingwei has left Moshang Xiangfang and entered the palace as a concubine, so he must abide by the rules of the palace. Everything is considered with the interests of the royal family as the starting point.
Knowing this in her heart, Du Suxi quietly hinted to Jingwei not to speak out to help her when the emperor first made things difficult for her, because once she spoke, she would invisibly lose her rights this time, and she had to use a good knife. On the edge of the knife, so Du Suxi refused Jingwei's help at first, waiting until the end, when the time was most useful, to serve as a trump card.
But she didn't expect that Concubine Mei's sudden commotion would make all her plans in vain.
All this is not so much Concubine Mei's deliberate interference as it is the secret strategizing of the old emperor. Let me ask, even if Concubine Mei is arrogant and hates Jingwei to death, in front of the old emperor, without the old emperor's How could he dare to confront Jingwei like this if he acquiesced
Everything was planned by the old emperor.
Du Suxi sighed softly in her heart, feeling powerless for some reason. It seems that the old emperor is not as dim as the rumors say. His scheming and strategies were enough to surprise Du Suxi.
