Chapter 556: Greedy and multitasking
The neither yin nor yang tone is full of ridicule.
Liang Huan did not get angry because of the sarcasm in his words, but maintained the demeanor that a queen mother should have.
"Since we are here, King Changguang should also take a seat."
After that, he ordered Gao Hao to set up another seat.
Gao Hao was unmoved: "I just came to visit the Queen Mother. I will leave after giving the gift."
"Seventh brother, it is true that the Queen Mother is ill. Since you are here to pay her regards, why are you so arrogant?" Rude? "
Gao Hao has always been strong among the kings, but Gao Huan is different. Although there is displeasure on his face, he still tries to persuade him with gentle words.
Gao Hao laughed and looked over with raised eyebrows: "If I could pay as much attention to him as the Queen Mother, I would definitely speak up to defend him."
Gao Huan's eyebrows sank.
Gao Hao ignored it completely and turned his eyes to signal to the attendant. The attendant understood, walked forward with a long box, handed the box to the palace attendant and presented it to the Queen Mother.
The box was opened in public. The wild ginseng inside had a natural shape and firm skin. It was indeed rare.
It can be seen that this really took a lot of thought.
Gao Hao bowed his head and saluted: "The gift has been delivered, I will leave."
He glanced at Liang Han in the main seat, turned around and left.
"Wait."
Liang Huan quickly called people to stop.
Gao Hao paused and turned around: "I wonder if the Queen Mother has any other instructions?"
Liang Kuan stood up and said: "If King Changguang leaves like this, how will I feel? You want to go?"
Gao Hao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You are the empress dowager, how can you do it, who dares to rebel?"
Liang Huan's eyes darkened: "King Changguang misunderstood. King Yong'an learned that I was ill. As soon as the confinement was lifted, he came into the palace to visit -"
She sighed and said: "I thought about not seeing you for a long time, and I wanted to ask him something about King Ande, so I made a temporary decision to ask him to stay for dinner. As for avoiding you..."
She bit her lip and lowered her head. Eyes: "I avoid seeing you like this just because I'm afraid you will misunderstand me."
"Really?" Gao Hao looked at Liang Han and said lightly.
Liang Huan looked at him and nodded gently: "That's natural."
Her tone was sincere, and her expression was even more aggrieved.
"Since King Changguang is here, please stay and have dinner with us."
No empress dowager should be like this, looking low and hesitant to speak. What does it look like?
Gao Huan glanced at the two of them strangely, and suddenly a ridiculous idea came to his mind. Maybe the rumors about the Queen Mother and King Changguang were not completely false.
Thinking of this, Gao Huan's heart sank, and he looked at Liang Huan with a somewhat uncertain look, but a calm smile on his face.
"Just now, my seventh brother said that the Queen Mother treats me preferentially, but why do I think that the Queen Mother values you more?"
He said it jokingly, but also with a hint of probing.
Liang Huan was a little embarrassed for a moment, pursed her lips, and said: "Both imperial brothers are the mainstay of Daqi. In the future, the emperor will still need help from uncles like you. I just wish that everyone could be happy and harmonious. , how can you favor one over the other and create a rift between you?"
The Queen Mother explained so gently and softly, which can be regarded as giving enough face.
Gao Hao looked at the two of them and said, "Since the Queen Mother said this, I have no choice but to be disrespectful."
After saying that, he smiled slightly and sat down, looking relaxed and warm. Only when he lowered his head, the light in his eyes was cold.
During this interval, Liang Huan quickly glanced at Gao Huan.
Gao Huan caught the look in his eyes and nodded clearly, but the doubts in his heart were not dissipated.
After Liang Han sat down, he filled a glass of wine by himself. He just picked up the cup, but before he opened his mouth, he heard Gao Hao say.
“It’s a coincidence that when I entered the palace, I met the concubine who was about to leave the palace.”
Liang Huan's back stiffened and he looked over in surprise.
Gao Hao met her gaze, gently shook the wine glass in his hand, and smiled.
Gao Yang walked in at this time.
Behind him was Lu Wanying, who was supposed to have left the city. "Why don't you and the concubine also dine with the Queen Mother?"
His childish voice was no longer as deep as before, sounding very innocent and harmless. The smile on his face was full of innocence, as if he had made a very interesting suggestion on a whim.
Liang Huan looked at him calmly, and at this moment, she saw the shadow of Gao Qian in him.
Gao Huan looked solemn and said nothing.
Obviously, the scene has exceeded expectations.
Seeing the emperor, Gao Hao was the first to kneel down, and Gao Huan suppressed the surprise in his heart and followed suit.
Liang Huan looked at the two people walking forward step by step, sitting still and feeling a little cold.
Gao Yang clasped his hands behind his back, straightened his body, and said with a smile: "King Yong'an and King Changguang, please get up."
Lu Wanying walked to the throne of honor by herself, leaned down, Bow respectfully.
"The Queen Mother forgives me, I didn't-"
Gao Yang turned around and looked over with firm eyes: "It was the lonely man who brought the concubine back. If the Queen Mother wants to blame, Then blame me.”
Liang Huan narrowed his eyes, took a breath, then turned to look at Jinlan who was standing aside, and ordered with a smile.
“Why don’t you get ready?”
By the time everyone was seated, the simple conversation between the two of them had turned into a small family banquet.
Gao Yang looked at the copper plate that Liang Huan had brought in front of him. The roasted meat on it was fragrant, and he sighed with a smile: "I didn't know that the Queen Mother still had this skill, and today she is honored by King Yong'an. "
Gao Huan stood up and lowered his head: "I don't dare."
Gao Yang pointed to his seat and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang, sit down quickly, don't be formal, there are no outsiders here."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gao Huan sat back as he was told, and accidentally talked to Liang Huan's eyes met.
Gao Yang concentrated on playing with the roasted meat on the plate, cut off a piece and put it in his mouth. Maybe the piece of meat was too big, maybe he was in a hurry, and suddenly he choked and coughed.
The palace chamberlain serving on the side was so shocked that she was sweating. Just when Liang Huan was about to get up to check, Gao Yang stroked his chest, raised his eyes and said: "The Queen Mother, don't worry, she is fine."
Although he was still coughing, his face was no longer as red as before.
Gao Yang brushed away the palace man beside him, shook his head and smiled apologetically: "The Queen Mother often warned me not to hold two spoons in one mouthful, but I didn't remember it. Ahem... I failed to live up to the Queen Mother's past teachings."
Liang Huan was stunned for a moment, then slowly sat down, with nothing strange on his face.
"As long as the emperor is fine."
Gao Yang took a sip of tea, calmed down, and turned to Lu Wanying: "I remember that the concubine and King Yongan had some misunderstandings, why not Let’s take this opportunity to have a drink together and resolve this misunderstanding?”
Everyone knows that the driver of Yong’an Wang Gaohuan accidentally stabbed Lu Xu, the former minister.
When Gao Yang said this, the air became cold.
Liang Huan frowned even more. How much Lu Wanying hated Gao Huan, even if others didn't know it, they knew it.
Since the news of Lu Xu’s assassination came out, Lu Wanying believed that the coachman was instigated by Gao Huan.
However, after her many investigations, there was still no conclusive evidence.
Lu Xu died in a mysterious manner. Not to mention Lu Wanying’s refusal, even the Lu family was unwilling to let it go.
Therefore, Mrs. Lu has always been brooding about this matter, targeting Gao Huan at every turn, whether overtly or covertly.
King Guangping and other kings took advantage of the situation to suppress him.
Gao Huan had no choice but to give in repeatedly.
And this is precisely the reason why Liang Huan is willing to join forces with Gao Huan.
Compared with Gao Hao who wants to sit on the throne directly, it is better to help Gao Huan and make him a powerful minister under one person.
By then, there would be no need for her to take action, and Gao Huan would naturally become the target of public criticism.
But in today's arrangement of inviting you to enter the urn, who will be the one to enter the urn in the end...
Liang Huan can no longer guess.
She rubbed the cup, raised her eyes, and silently watched Lu Wanying's every move.
