376, no face to see people
"That's right. Back then, the old genius doctor Zhou concluded that Ling Xiaozi would not live to be eighteen years old, but Qian Xue continued his life again and again." The queen stopped short, but it was enough to say so much.
The word continuation of life was used very delicately, and it hit the softest part of the emperor's heart.
It has to be said that the queen's battle was very successful, not only dispelling the emperor's suspicion of her, but also offering a good strategy for the emperor.
Concubine Qin's smile gradually turned cold, but she knew that she had no power to recover.
The empress continued her efforts, "The concubine is thinking, the emperor is busy with state affairs on weekdays, so he must not be able to accompany sister Qin all the time, and the Qianqing Palace is still some distance from other palaces, and it is very cold in winter, even if my sister wants to talk to us, it will take a long way. It won't be good if you get cold. Why don't you just call Gu Qianxue into the palace to be your sister's companion?"
Today the emperor was surprised to find that the empress was very caring, although she usually followed him when she spoke, she didn't make him so smooth as today. "Wan Qing, what do you think?" Asking Concubine Qin's opinion shows her respect for Concubine Qin.
The queen smiled and didn't interrupt, but she hated it to death in her heart.
Concubine Qin felt helpless, could she stop it? "The empress is really thoughtful. Since the kindness is hard to turn down, let the child enter the palace." Since there is no way to stop it, then use another method to start the war." Bifu also said a while ago that she wanted to live with her adopted daughter for a while , how about letting Bifu enter the palace too?"
"Okay, Kang Quan, call the two of them immediately." The emperor was delighted, his heart bursting with joy.
Lunch was served in Qianqing Palace, the emperor and the queen also stayed, and the queen served the emperor attentively and also took care of the concubine Qin. If he was an outsider, he would really fall in love with the virtuous and thoughtful queen.
Same time, another place.
Not long after the four-piece concealing suit was finished, Gu Qianxue arrived at the Peony Garden with the four-piece concealing suit, but heard the order from the palace, ordering Gu Qianxue to enter the palace immediately to accompany Concubine Qin without delay.
Gu Qianxue was so angry that she stomped her feet—accompany, what is there to accompany? Concubine Qin herself is not without a son! Although Concubine Qin has always been very kind to her, she also has her own family to take care of. She has gone to accompany other people's mothers, so what about her own mother
In the end, she had no choice but to receive the imperial decree. She wanted to send her father-in-law away, but the father-in-law insisted on waiting for Gu Qianxue to go with her. Gu Qianxue could only take some things and entered the palace with the father-in-law who issued the decree, wearing a four-piece suit to conceal her shame.
Gu Qianxue is not allowed to bring a maid into the palace. This is the rule of Nanyue Kingdom. If it is a temporary visit like a banquet, you can bring a maid with you. Qianxue went there alone.
This was Gu Qianxue's first time entering the palace outside of the queen's dinner and the emperor's birthday, and also the first time she was able to appreciate the exquisite buildings, the endless glazed tile roofs, and the majestic hall.
At Gu Qianxue's request, the father-in-law who led the way explained the palaces he saw, their owners and their uses, so that Gu Qianxue had a general understanding.
When she knew that she was going to Qing Palace, her heart was pounding.
The Nanyue Palace is not as similar as the Forbidden City in Beijing. The roads between the walls are wide and not as narrow as the Forbidden City, but each palace courtyard is also surrounded by vermilion high walls, which is similar to the Forbidden City. Although its architecture is magnificent and majestic, there is a kind of beauty in it. If you don't want to make a metaphor, the Nanyue Palace is like a fusion of the Forbidden City in Beijing and the Daming Palace.
In winter, the leaves wither and the dead branches intertwine with an ancient sense of time. The floor is made of stone slabs, and it has been swept clean, even the dust is fine.
Walking around a wall, suddenly enlightened, but saw that the square is so big that it can hardly be seen at a glance, and all the eyes are white white marble, whether it is the road on the ground or the railing beside it, which used to be only available on TV or The majestic hall seen in the film and television city actually appeared in front of Gu Qianxue.
Standing in front of Qianqing Palace, looking at the soldiers guarding solemnly, even Gu Qianxue, who did not consider herself a Nanyue native, could not help being awed and even more nervous.
"Is this the place to go to court?" Gu Qianxue asked again uncertainly.
The father-in-law said respectfully, "Go back to Princess Qianxue, this is the place where the morning court is held every day, behind the place where the emperor lives, please follow the servants."
Passing through the majestic hall all the way, he took Gu Qianxue to the palace where the emperor usually lived.
Accompanied by the sound of greetings from the palace people, Gu Qianxue was ushered into the room, but she saw that in the not-so-big room, the emperor and the empress were sitting in the middle, with a table like the Eight Immortals table between them, and the emperor was sitting on one side. Concubine Qin.
Gu Qianxue stepped forward and greeted the three of them with a feeling of apprehension.
But the queen chuckled, "This kid really knows what's cold and what's hot, and he actually made such an exquisite thing to carry with him, so it's warm just looking at it." He was referring to the four-piece embarrassing suit that Gu Qianxue was carrying.
At this time, Gu Qianxue was wearing a moon-white brocade modified Lei Feng hat on her head, a mask on her mouth, layers of neckbands on her neck, five-finger gloves on her hands, and her moon The white fox fur cloak covers the whole person tightly, leaving only a pair of big watery eyes, looking around cleverly and secretly.
It can be said that Gu Qianxue has nothing to do with being "beautiful" now, she is wrapped up like a mummy.
The emperor was also amused, "Qianxue, it's sunny outside today, why are you so afraid of the cold?"
Gu Qianxue just wanted to say that she had a cold and it was inconvenient to take off her hat, but there was an annoying creature in the palace called the imperial physician. She said that she had a cold, and she was afraid that the emperor would call the imperial physician, so she would reveal her truth. It is not terrible to lie to people, but it is terrible to lie to the emperor. If Gu Qianxue remembers correctly, lying to the emperor is the crime of deceiving the emperor.
In the end, Gu Qianxue could only lower her head and tell the truth, "If you go back to the emperor, Qianxue...isn't cold, but just shameless to see people." It was like wilting eggplants.
The emperor has seen many ladies of all kinds. There are dignified ones, smart ones, beautiful ones, and ugly ones, but there are very few that make him curious like Gu Qianxue. "Shameless? Haha, this is the first time I've heard of someone dressing up like this. Tell me, why do you have no shame?"
Concubine Qin raised her head and looked at Gu Qianxue.
And even if Gu Qianxue didn't say anything, the three of them had guessed in their hearts - it should be that Gu Qianxue was forced to sit on King Li's lap to feed him wine the day before in the hall. After the incident, it can be said that his reputation was really ruined.
The three of them never guessed that Gu Qianxue's "ashamed to face others" was more "disgraceful" than the behavior above the hall! I can't even go out!
377, King Li really knows how to play
