Chapter 167: For The Concubine (One More)
Chapter 167 Concubine (one more)
Gu Yanfei subconsciously touched the compass hidden in her sleeve, but she immediately thought that her compass was broken, so she closed her hand regretfully, so she could only stroke her sleeve.
“Dare to ask the Empress Dowager what it is?” Gu Yanfei stared into the eyes of the Empress Dowager Yuan and smiled.
Empress Dowager Yuan looked at Gu Yanfei firmly, a graceful smile appeared on her face, but her eyes were cold.
Her right hand was gently rubbing on a small gilt hand stove, and her fair and delicate fingers were well maintained, as delicate and flawless as an eighteen-year-old girl.
After being silent for a long time, the Queen Mother Yuan opened her lips and said, “Then… how about you count as the emperor’s dragon body?”
Her voice was neither light nor heavy, neither angry nor angry, and could not hear joy or anger.
After the sentence fell, everyone fell silent.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and it seemed that even the sound of breathing was reduced.
Wei Jiaoniang and Lu Qin frowned and exchanged glances.
This is undoubtedly a pit.
Throughout the capital, no one knew that the emperor was frail and sick, and he would get sick every three or five days. From time to time, the imperial doctor’s pulse was transmitted, and the smell of medicine in the palace was lingering.
But if Gu Yanfei really wants to answer like this, it has nothing to do with whether she can tell fortunes or not!
It is conceivable that the queen mother will not be satisfied at that time, and she can also give Gu Yanfei an accusation of playing tricks on the queen mother.
“I’ll do the math…” Gu Yanfei raised his right hand calmly and pinched his knuckles twice.
This simple action was done by her, and it brought a little unfathomable flavor.
When her thumb touched the knuckle of her middle finger, the casual smile on her lips froze slightly…
All eyes were on her beautiful long fingers, and no one noticed her momentary gaffe.
Gu Yanfei withdrew his hand, his wide sleeves fell like flying butterfly wings, a stream of light flashed across his eyes, and his face was full of smiles.
She turned her head to face the Queen Mother Yuan on the kang with a charming smile, and said with relief: “God bless me, the sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always be there.”
“The emperor dragon is healthy.”
“…” The Queen Mother Yuan’s smile froze.
Not only the Queen Mother, but also the others around did not expect Gu Yanfei to answer like this, and they were once again shocked.
The surroundings became quieter, only the rustling of the wind and snow outside on the glass windows echoed in everyone’s ears.
After a brief period of astonishment, a smile appeared on the Queen Mother Yuan’s lips, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and her waist was always straight.
She raised her chin slightly, and rebuked her from a high altitude: “Second Lady Gu, do you know that talking nonsense in front of Ai’s family is a crime of deceiving the king.”
Empress Dowager Yuan came slowly, and there was an invisible coercion between every word and every sentence, which was the coercion of a superior.
These few words almost put a knife high on Gu Yanfei’s neck, even if she didn’t want her life, she could also cut off a piece of her flesh.
Yu Chaoyun gracefully stroked his sleeves, and a faint fragrance wafted out of the incense **** hidden in his sleeves, filling his sleeves with a dark fragrance.
When received the Queen Mother’s decree, the eldest aunt and her carefully analyzed the Queen Mother’s intentions and warned her.
The aunt said that when the queen mother called them into the palace, it must be to choose the right concubine for the eldest prince.
The aunt also said that the reason for her to come to the capital from Yuzhou was the position of the eldest prince and concubine, and told her to be neither humble nor arrogant in front of the empress dowager. The empress dowager chooses the eldest prince and concubine not only for people…
Thinking, Yu Chaoyun turned his eyes and looked at Gu Yanfei, who was sitting diagonally opposite her, his eyes were like a deep pool, very cold.
The eldest prince looked at Gu Yanfei differently, there was no doubt about that.
And you can never be a concubine for the prince!
Yu Chaoyun’s fingers gently rubbed the aroma ball hidden in her sleeve, and the burning spices in the aroma ball warmed her cold fingertips little by little.
This Gu Yanfei seems to be outspoken, but in fact he has a deep scheming.
The Empress Dowager represents King Kang, and it is impossible for him to coexist peacefully with the emperor and his son.
Gu Yanfei’s unprovoked provocation now is clearly intentional, to please the emperor!
Yu Chaoyun pursed his lips, his expression was calm, and he sat upright without saying a word.
In just a few short breaths, the atmosphere inside Nuange became more and more tense, the temperature that was warm like spring suddenly plummeted, and the cold wind like a knife blew in through the crack of the window.
Greeting Empress Dowager Yuan’s compelling gaze, Gu Yanfei smiled sarcastically, her eyes were as clear as water, and she asked softly and skillfully, “Does the Empress Dowager not believe it?”
Empress Dowager Yuan’s face sank, when did she say she didn’t believe it!
“It’s simple.” Gu Yanfei snapped her fingers neatly, and suggested “kindly”, “If the queen mother doesn’t believe it, you can ask an imperial doctor to ask.”
Gu Yanfei smiled and said.
Empress Dowager Yuan’s graceful face instantly sank.
This girl put her up in a few words. Now if she really declares a doctor to ask the emperor’s dragon body, then she “doesn’t believe” that the emperor’s dragon body is healthy.
“…” Empress Dowager Yuan’s eyes were cloudy and sunny, and the blue veins on her forehead were beating. She still sat upright, and her body released an extremely fierce aura, which shocked the few court ladies who were waiting next to her and lowered their heads timidly.
Lu Qin secretly gave Gu Yanfei a thumbs up.
Wei Jiao Niang diligently handed Gu Yanfei the second cup of tea that the maid had just served.
Gu Yanfei took the tea cup calmly, drank the tea, and looked at the scenery outside the window in his leisure time. With sharp eyes, he saw a black cat chasing a white cat and leaping over the wall in the vast snowstorm, with agile movements. Quickly, in a flash.
Since she received the second merit from Heavenly Dao a few years ago, her eyes have become sharper and sharper than ordinary people, otherwise, she would not be able to see these two cats clearly.
Gu Yanfei’s lips curved, feeling good.
All the voices in the Warm Pavilion disappeared, and the silence spread silently.
Empress Dowager Yuan silently picked up the tea cup and sipped the hot tea. The appearance was relatively calm, but the fingers holding the tea lid exerted a little force, and the fingertips turned white.
Since it was all about this, if she recklessly insisted on pursuing Gu Yanfei, it would seem that her dignified queen mother insisted on arguing with a minister and daughter.
Moreover, once it gets out, outsiders won’t care whether Gu Yanfei’s calculations are accurate or not, they will only speculate and criticize her, the queen mother, who wants the emperor’s dragon to be ill!
This Gu family girl is so heartless!
Recalling that Gu Yanfei used herself to get rid of her engagement with Fang Mingfeng when she was in the Jingwang Mansion last time, the Empress Dowager Yuan felt a little more disgust for Gu Yanfei in her heart.
The cat outside the window disappeared, and Gu Yanfei also looked back, pretending that he had not been distracted just now, and asked nonchalantly, “I wonder if the queen mother thinks that a minister is accurate?”
No one expected that Gu Yanfei would say such a sentence. The Queen Mother Yuan put the tea cup on the coffee table. The sound of the tea cup hitting the coffee table was not loud, but it made everyone feel a sense of fear and trepidation, and their eyes were all focused on her.
Mrs. Yuan smiled again.
Only this time, her smile was a little bit of a smirk.
“Accurate.”
The Empress Dowager Yuan slowly squeezed out three words from between her teeth.
The maid in charge next to swallowed silently, and could clearly feel the suppressed anger of the Queen Mother.
The last time the Queen Mother was so angry was the day the eldest prince returned to Beijing, and the Shou’an Palace was covered with clouds for several days.
The maid in charge of the palace was calm, and when she looked at Gu Yanfei again, her eyes became more complicated.
Was this girl Gu Er just fighting for a moment, or just to force the Queen Mother to admit that she was right, so that the Queen Mother would not settle accounts in the future?
In the warm pavilion, there was silence for a while, the atmosphere was filled with an indescribable embarrassment, so that several girls became cramped.
Empress Dowager Yuan looked sullen, even if she was laughing, she was no longer in good interest, and asked Lu Qin in a perfunctory tone: “Aqin, Aijia remembers that your grandmother said that you played chess well and often played chess with your grandfather.”
Lu Qin wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and with a positive expression, he answered in a proper manner: “The Empress Dowager, it’s my grandmother’s reputation, and my daughter is to accompany my grandfather to relieve the boredom.”
“You child, you are modest.” The Queen Mother Yuan said lightly.
Next, no more waves.
Empress Dowager Yuan asked a few girls what they liked, and she dismissed them casually: “Ai’s family is tired, Liuxia, take them to the Imperial Garden for a walk.”
Liuxia was the maid in charge of the palace, and hurriedly answered the order.
After a while, the girls got up and retire, going around a six-panel screen in twos and threes, and went out, talking and laughing.
Without these little girls in the Mood for Love, this warm pavilion suddenly looks a lot more spacious and empty.
The Empress Dowager Yuan stared at Gu Yanfei’s back in front of her. After a while, she lowered her voice and said, “Is the sedan chair ordered by the First Prince?”
“Yes.” The old lady replied in a low voice.
“…” Empress Dowager Yuan just asked casually.
It’s so obvious, you don’t even have to guess.
The Queen Mother Yuan couldn’t help recalling what her son said to her half a month ago…
At the beginning, she was also skeptical, thinking that how could the eldest prince like such a wild girl. After living abroad for more than ten years, she has neither talent to shock the world, nor does she know how to handle things, and the Gu family does not seem to have fathers and grandfathers in the palace of the State of Wei. You can hold up the lintel, after all, the Dingyuan Hou Mansion is no longer the time when the first Dingyuan Hou Gu Ce was still there…
But judging from the fact that Chu Yi took so much trouble for this girl today, what his son said was true.
Empress Dowager Yuan hooked the corner of her lower lips, and said with a sigh rather than a sigh, with a sneer: “Does our first prince have this kind of vision?”
As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes, and a cold light flashed across her eyes.
These two were hooked by the Gu family girl!
The old lady has been with the Empress Dowager Yuan for decades, so she can naturally hear that there is a hidden edge in her words.
The surroundings were quiet, the chatter and laughter of the girls in front were getting farther and lighter, only the quiet scent of sandalwood lingered in the house.
“That’s right.” The Empress Dowager Yuan chuckled, her fingertips stroking her cuffs softened a bit, her tail fingers slightly raised.
Indeed, Gu Yanfei’s appearance is outstanding, and this face is first-class beautiful in the capital.
It’s a pity, she just has such a pretty face.
Is a concubine?
