Chapter 338: Affection (three shifts) (1/2)
Chapter 338 Love (three shifts)
Quiet Concubine’s affairs are too dynamic, but within one day, everyone knows that Concubine Jing has been conspired twice in one day.
”You said...who would do it?”
In a corner of the palace, a bunch of little palace ladies and little eunuchs gathered together and secretly talked about Concubine Jing.
”Who else can it be? Just think about the entire palace who would not want Princess Jing to come back?”
”Could it be the too of Renshou Palace——”
”Shhh! Be quiet! Do you want to be caught and beheaded! Don't say what that person's name is. Don't talk about the name of that person. You can't say it in your heart. You can't dream of it! Otherwise, just wait for you to be beheaded! The court lady **** who died in the hands of that one was not a thousand or even hundreds!”
”So cruel?”
The new little palace lady was trembling with fright.
Actually, not only did the court lady **** think, but even the queen mother's niece Zhuang Guifei thought that the concubine Jing was killed one after another because of her own aunt.
”Your Majesty, the concubines heard that the concubine has been dealt with again. Does your Majesty have any doubters in his heart?” In the study room of Huaqing Palace, Empress Xiao looked at the emperor deeply.
The meaning of her connotation is obvious, and it is the Queen Mother Zhuang who did it.
Unexpectedly, the emperor rejected it all at once: ”Don’t guess, it’s not the queen mother.”
Empress Xiao almost seemed to be struck by lightning, staring at the emperor blankly.
What did your Majesty say?
Isn’t the queen mother?
Since when did Your Majesty start to excuse the Queen Mother?
He can't wait for a thunder in the sky to count as the Queen Mother Zhuang!
”Your Majesty...” Empress Xiao said.
The emperor interrupted her: ”Okay, don't bother about Concubine Jing's mother. I have my own opinion. You go back to restrain the palace people and let them not chew their tongues.”
Queen Xiao responded incredulously: ”...Yes.”
Concubine Zhuang went to Renshou Palace with a smile, stepped into the study of Queen Mother Zhuang, and said with a smile: ”Auntie! You are so amazing! How did you do it? He taught Concubine Jing the fox again. Drop the handle! I heard that Your Majesty didn’t doubt it at all! There were a few eunuchs in Kunning Palace chewing their tongues, but the aunt guessed what? It was all sent off by the Queen! Aunt, you really are—”
Quick Concubine Zhuang was halfway talking, she saw the cold eyes of the Queen Mother, like a knife, and she was shocked, ”Aunt, aunt!”
”Are your mouth idle?” Empress Dowager Zhuang said without anger.
Concubine Zhuang was overwhelmed by her aunt's powerful aura. She didn't dare to look directly at the Queen Mother Zhuang, so she hurriedly lowered her head and saluted: ”Please peace to my aunt.”
Empress Dowager Zhuang said angrily: ”The Ai's family is very busy, don't disturb the Ai's family if you have nothing to do!”
”Yes!” Concubine Zhuang retreated angrily.
As soon as she walked on her front foot, Duke Qin came in with tea on her back foot.
Queen Mother Zhuang looked at the Zhezi in her hand, and asked indifferently: ”Did you send someone?”
”Sent, the carriage under the gate of Bishui Hutong.” Qin Gonggong said with a smile.
”Yeah.” Empress Dowager Zhuang replied faintly and continued to read the notes.
Duke Qin walked over and put the tea on the table, unable to hide his smile.
”What are you laughing at?” The Queen Mother looked at him weirdly.
Qin Gong justified: ”The slave is happy for the Queen Mother!”
Queen Mother Zhuang hummed: ”What's so happy? Two little things that don't know the height of the sky, the skin is endless!”
Gu Jiao fled into Renshou Palace wearing the clothes of a little eunuch, how could Queen Mother Zhuang not know what the truth was?
”The servant's tone is tight.” Queen Mother Zhuang ordered.
Qin Gong just said: ”The queen mother can rest assured, the servants are all set up properly-today Xiao Chuanzi went to buy, the carriage broke halfway, and happened to Xiao Xiuzhuan, and went back to the palace with Xiao Xiuzhuan, the guard saw it on the carriage of Xiao Xiuzhuan The little **** is Xiaochuanzi.”
Xiao Chuanzi did go out to buy today, but after this stall, before he came back, Qin Gonggong sent a master inside to intercept him.
When Gu Jiao left the palace, she still used the identity of Xiaochuanzi.
The reason is that something went wrong with the purchased fabric, and Xiaochuanzi went to exchange it.
At night, the real Xiaochuanzi will return to the palace with the changed cloth.
Qin Gonggong continued: ”There are also witnesses. Shiwei Liu from the Imperial Guard and Mother Zhou from Lenggong will see a woman dressed in Tsing Yi and carrying a small back basket haunting nearby. It is assumed that the other party entered through the wall from Lenggong. of.”
These things weren't what Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao asked Queen Mother Zhuang to do, and they went away stubbornly after they had pitted themselves!
Empress Dowager Zhuang sullen her face and snort: ”Huh! Don't be afraid of showing stuffing! Do you really think that what you have made is perfect?”
Duke Qin couldn’t laugh.
I like it very much in my heart. I really appreciate that the two newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but they have to pretend to be disgusting.
Qin Gonggong smiled and said, “Isn’t this because they know that the Queen Mother will treat them? The Queen Mother trusts them, and they also handed over their backs to the Queen Mother!”
”Humph!”
I don’t know how many times it hummed.
The trust between people is never spoken out by the mouth, it is a tacit understanding in action, trust in a person’s sincerity, and trust in a person’s abilities.
That's...it's pretty cool.
The Queen Mother Zhuang hum.
Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang returned to Bishui Hutong.
Tonight, the owner of the orchard invited the theater troupe and built a stage in the orchard. The neighbors in the neighborhood went to listen to the theater, and the Yao family and several children in the family also went.
The house is empty.
Although it was dinner, there was a disturbance in the palace, and both of them were a little hungry at the moment.
”Let's go out to eat.” Xiao Liulang said, she can't bear to go to the kitchen at night, besides, it is close to the bustling streets, so it is very convenient to eat anything.
”Okay.” Gu Jiao responded.
They went to Xuanwu Street.
Summer nights in the capital are always very lively. Shops are lined up, hawker stalls are like long trees, carriages and horses are slowly passing by in the middle of the street, and the pedestrians on both sides are endless, shoulder to shoulder.
In the past, Gu Jiao was walking on the outside, she wanted to protect her family, but today she was put inside by Xiao Liulang.
Xiao Liulang leaned on crutches, and a body with a little more man's strength than last year blocked the crowd in general.
However, there was a merchandiser carrying a burden, who left the road in the middle and couldn't walk. He had to get in there and almost ran into Gu Jiao.
Xiao Liulang pulled her arm, and then he didn’t release his hand immediately. He hesitated and slid down and held her hand: ”Don’t get lost.”
Gu Jiao was taken aback, and smiled: ”Okay.”
Don’t get lost.
Xiao Liulang was almost dazzled by her smile. He looked forward and asked, ”What do you want to eat?”
”Well, it's okay!” she said, ”What do you want to eat?”
He said: ”I can do it too.”
Neither are picky eaters.
Xiao Liulang looked to the east and said, “There is a new noodle restaurant over there. Would you like to try it? His noodles are delicious.”
”Have you eaten?” Gu Jiao turned to look at him and asked.
”Yeah.” He nodded, ”I had it when I was a kid. At that time, their house hadn't opened to such a prosperous area, and they had to go to a very remote suburb to eat. It seems to have been flourishing in the past few years, and several branches have been opened. ”
He will not take the initiative to talk about his former identity, but he will not deliberately avoid it if he is mentioned.
It’s just that he never admitted who he really is.
Xuanpinghou’s illegitimate son, Xiao Liulang, is the identity he can now announce to those close to him.
Not many people know this identity. Gu Jiao, Yao's family and the little monk knew that Gu Yan might have guessed something, but he probably hadn’t guessed Xiao Heng’s step yet.
As for Gu Jiao, Xiao Liulang did not ask which step she had guessed.
And Gu Jiao didn’t seem to intend to break the casserole to the end. She respected him and trusted him, regardless of who he was.
Gu Jiao bends the corners of her lips: ”Okay, then go eat the noodles!”
Don't look at this new noodle restaurant, but the upstairs and downstairs are full.
”Well, are so many people eating noodles so late?” Gu Jiao asked weirdly.
The shop Xiaoer smiled apologetically: ”Newly opened, most of them are acquaintances. Moreover, our shop not only has noodles, but also our cold dishes and stewed soups! It’s hot now, and it’s hot to eat in the house. Set a table in the yard for the two of you, cool off!”
