Chapter 40 The stunning beauty in the world wins!
When the young emperor secretly put more burdens on Gu Nanxi, what happened in the palace was spread 360 degrees to the entire Kyoto.
On this day, the business of teahouses and taverns was particularly hot, and the only thing that could rival it was the time when the son-in-law was captured and the number one scholar was paraded through the streets.
In the private room on the second floor of Fuquan Restaurant, Mrs. Niu, the general of Zhenguo, was lying on the soft couch and ordered a snow bubble shrinking spleen drink.
The young lady of the Duke of Jiguo opened the window a crack, and the originally silent private room suddenly became noisy: "In early winter, what kind of snow-soaked drink can you drink to shrink the spleen?"
Mrs. Niu, the general of Zhenguo, licked the blisters in her mouth with the tip of her tongue, and said sadly: "I'm a little angry today, drink some of this to calm down the anger."
"What are you worried about?"
"Oh, I don't know if I will ever Can Mrs. Changhou leave the palace safely? I heard that Concubine Tong is arrogant and domineering, and even the concubines in the harem have been suffering for a long time. He rolled his eyes and said angrily: "It's salty." Luo Baodan is worried. Does Gu Nanxi know who you are? You are worried about her, and she doesn’t appreciate it.” Me. In the past, I only saw Men have three wives and four concubines. Have you ever seen a girl play with them? Madam Yongchang Hou, you dare to think what others dare not think, and you dare to do what others dare not do. I hope she will be rewarded. What you wish for is good.”
The young lady of the Duke of Ji used a fan to tap Mrs. Niu, the general of the country, on the head, and laughed and scolded: "You have the ability to say this in front of the general of the country!"
"I certainly can't. Dare, that’s why I hope Mrs. Yongchang Hou will dare!” Mrs. Niu, the general of Zhenguo, said confidently.
The two of them immediately laughed and made a fuss.
"I heard your laughter from so far away. What are you talking about?" Mrs. Cheng Guogong ran all the way upstairs, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
Mrs. Niu handed over a cup of sweet bean soup: "Run slowly, we can't walk, why are we in such a hurry?"
Mrs. Cheng Guogong panted rapidly, but her eyes were as bright as candles. She didn't care to slow down her breathing and said urgently: "Did you know that Concubine Tong was reprimanded by the Queen Mother?"
"What?! The sun rises in the west. Concubine Tong has the support of Grand Master Tong. Ever since she entered the palace, the Queen Mother has not even been able to say a harsh word to her. This time it was actually a scolding?"
Mrs. Niu was so shocked that she almost dropped the snow bubble in her hand. Drink from the ground.
The young lady of Cheng Guogong was overjoyed, just like Rong Youxun: "The imperial concubine summoned Mrs. Yongchanghou, but after several confrontations, she was half angry to death. The Holy Lord was worried that Mrs. Yongchanghou would suffer a loss, so he did not care about the Imperial College during the first court. Offer wine and rush to Yaochi Palace."
“Hiss!” Madam Ji Guogong gasped, “Although the Holy Master is young, he has the image of a wise king. No matter it’s windy or rainy, he has to work in the front hall until noon every day before taking a rest. . Even though the concubine was ill, she never changed her habits. ”
"Then what's the result?" Mrs. Niu asked impatiently.
Mrs. Chengguo Gong laughed loudly: "I don’t know what the Holy One said, but Concubine Tong ran out of Yaochi Palace angrily and went to complain to the Queen Mother. Unexpectedly, she was reprimanded."
Mrs. Niu instantly discovered the blind spot: "So, the Holy Lord and Mrs. Yongchang Hou have been staying in Yaochi Palace. "Where?"
Mrs. Cheng Guogong covered her mouth with a fan, her eyes flashed with the light of gossip, and whispered: "The Holy Lord dismissed all the people in the palace, a man and a woman, living in the same room, fully half of them." Time!”
“Is the Holy Spirit so scary?” A man suddenly exclaimed outside the window.
The three ladies looked for the sound, but it came from the first floor of the teahouse. Mrs. Niu opened the window slightly wider and looked down. She saw that the already crowded teahouse was like a pot of boiling tea, bubbling and gurgling. No one could hear clearly what was being said, but could only vaguely hear what was being said. Explain a few words.
“Some palace people said that Mrs. Yongchang Hou was helped out of Yaochi Palace by the Holy Master. When she left the palace, she looked a little unsteady.”
"Alas, Your Majesty is so merciless. Someone saw that His Majesty's eyes were red. "Hong, it's obvious that she used too much force."
"That's more than that? Mrs. Yongchang was carried on a palace sedan from Yaochi Palace to the palace gate. Along the way, many palace people saw Yongchang. Mrs. Hou looked tired."
Mrs. Niu and the other three people looked at each other and said in unison: "People cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. The most stunning beauty in the world!"
The young emperor, one of the protagonists of the scandal, returned after seeing Gu Nanxi away. He went to the front hall to deal with the remaining official duties. He waited until sunset before stretching and walking to the Queen Mother's Palace for dinner.
The Queen Mother suffered hardships when she was young, so the meals were not as luxurious as those of Concubine Tong. A mixed vegetable porridge and a plate of side dishes were the dinner for mother and son.
The young emperor sucked and drank, and the drink was particularly sweet.
"Your Majesty has a very good appetite today." The Queen Mother smiled as she watched the Emperor enjoy his meal.
The young emperor put down the bowl and chopsticks and said sheepishly: "The Queen Mother is laughing. The huge stone weighing on my heart is that I finally have a reliable person to entrust to me. I am really lucky."
"Oh?" The Queen Mother turned around in her hand. Zhu Chuan, seeing his son's conversation was in full swing, cooperated and said, "Who have you entrusted it to?"
The young emperor's eyes shone brighter than the stars in the sky. He smiled brightly at the corner of his mouth and said cheerfully: "Give it to my sister! When I was a child, I always looked forward to having a sister who could protect me. But at that time, I was naughty and was always scolded by my sister."
The young emperor sighed with emotion: "At the critical moment, You have to rely on Sister. Mother, you are right, Sister is really not an ordinary woman."
The Queen Mother paused. The Gu Nanxi in the emperor's mouth was different from the one in her mind. Completely different?
That's right. After all, we haven't been close to each other for ten years. Isn't it natural for people to change?
The Queen Mother put aside her doubts and ordered her maid to take out a Bingdi Begonia from her private treasury: "This is for the noble concubine. She is very angry today. If you don't coax her, She deserves to be your first choice.”
After the young emperor left, the Queen Mother ordered someone to give the Queen a purple and gold phoenix crown.
The emperor couldn't bear the bowl of water, so he had to let the mother-in-law make up for it.
In the palace, the Queen Mother was busy coaxing her son and daughter-in-law.
Outside the palace, Su Yunyan, Su Xuanming and other sons and daughters were guarding the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, anxiously surrounding Gu Nanxi.
"Auntie, why are you so weak? Are you being bullied by the imperial concubine?" With tears in her eyes, Su Yunyan dug out Gu Nanxi from the carriage and gently placed her on the bamboo chair. .
"Yunyan, shut up. Mom, thank you for your hard work. I sent people to Dingfeng Tower to buy a black-bone chicken soup, which is the most nourishing." Su Yunting secretly complained in his heart, this little boy just can't rely on him. Damn, look at how tired my mother-in-law is!
Gu Nanxi folded her hands on her lower abdomen, lay on the chair, and closed her eyes.
Thinking of the young emperor's earnest instructions and expectations, Gu Nanxi suddenly felt hopeless.
If living has to bear the unbearable weight of life, then it’s okay not to take this life.
