Chapter 197
"Miss!"

"Ma'am, what's wrong with you!"

Hua Yao has been experiencing sudden changes recently, and today he was even more frightened, and suddenly became a little hoarse.

The reason why Gu Qingcheng pretended to be dizzy was just to make himself more comfortable.

But he didn't expect that he would scare the servant girl beside him into such a state.

Not in a hurry, he squeezed Hua Yao's palm lightly.

"My lady..."

Hua Yao's face was filled with joy, but it soon turned into grief, anger and hatred, with the previous anxiety and worry.

Seeing this appearance, Nangong Mo couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he quickly picked him up and put him on the soft couch.

"What are you all doing in a daze? Hurry up and call the imperial physician!"

Seeing that the emperor was ignoring her, the queen mother couldn't help but sneered and said, "The emperor's arrival was really timely. The Ai family didn't know that this Palace of Compassion and Peace also has the emperor's ears to repay God!"

Nangong Mo's face was gloomy, and he took the brocade handkerchief in his arms to wipe Gu Qingcheng's forehead.

As soon as Fugui saw the tense atmosphere between the mother and the son, he hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Empress Dowager, please allow me to say something, Your Majesty, it is purely accidental that I came to your Palace of Compassion and Ning today, and it was just a thought. It has been a long time since I came to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, and I said that I have a bad appetite recently and I want to have dinner in the Empress Dowager's palace, so I came here."

He sighed again as he spoke, and glanced at Gu Qingcheng, who was pale and lying on the soft couch, and Nangong Mo, who had a gloomy face.

"Who knows that something like this happened again today? The Palace of Compassion and Peace is the residence of the empress dowager. Now only the empress dowager, you and the emperor are supporting each other. No matter how much you guard against others, this palace of compassion and peace will not have an ear for God." , and please rest assured, Empress Dowager.”

The Empress Dowager's expression eased a little, but she snorted coldly when she saw how Nangong Mo treated Gu Qingcheng with such care and love.

"It turned out to be like this, but the Ai family didn't know when the emperor valued the noble concubine so much."

Taking advantage of taking care of Gu Qingcheng, Nangong Mo hastily felt Gu Qingcheng's pulse, and found that the appearance was indeed a bit vain, and her pale complexion was not a fake, so she simply let her pretend to be dizzy, and lay on the soft pedal .

He had been turning a deaf ear to the queen mother's words before, but now he raised his head and glanced at the queen mother coldly.

"Mother, I don't know. How did the imperial concubine break your taboo and make the empress so angry?"

As Nangong Mo said, he walked to the seat next to the Queen Mother and sat down. The aroma of food could be faintly smelled in the air.

"Did the Compassionate Ning Palace change the cook? The aroma of this food smells really good."

The queen mother had already seen Nangong Mo's appearance, and she was a little uncertain, so she said lightly: "Concubines are not allowed to wear red, and Gu Qingcheng also boldly put peony flowers on his temples. It deserves it, let him suffer a little."

As she spoke, the Queen Mother walked to the dining table again. The soup and dishes on the table were still steaming, exuding a tempting aroma in summer.

"The person serving you said that you came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning for lunch," the queen mother said, sitting down at the dining table, and beckoning to Nangong: "You are lucky today, these dishes They are all newly recruited concubines to honor Ai’s family, these little girls have not been here for a month after entering the palace, and they are fresh and fresh, the noble concubine can’t even compare to them!”

Seeing the queen mother's indifferent attitude, Nangong Mo couldn't help feeling chills in his heart.

"Since you think the new concubines are excellent, you can keep them by your side."

Nangong Mo was extremely indifferent, and had no interest at all in a room filled with flowers and jade.

"The queen mother just said that you punished the noble concubine in this way because the noble concubine wore bright red and brought peonies, but I feel that this kind of treatment is ultimately inappropriate."

Seeing the empress dowager's expression getting worse and worse, Nangong Mo did not hold back: "There is indeed a folk saying that concubines cannot wear scarlet, but in the palace, scarlet color is not taboo, but it is just because ordinary concubines don't often wear scarlet." Just wear it."

The queen mother opened her mouth, and was about to refute, when she heard Nangong Mo say again: "The bright yellow and phoenix patterns that are taboo in the palace, the noble concubine just likes bright and bright colors because of her young age. Red looks best."

"But since ancient times, red can only be used when the main wife gets married!"

Seeing the emperor defending his shortcomings like this, the queen mother couldn't help but look even more ugly.

"Although he is now a noble concubine and in charge of the affairs of the Six Palaces, a concubine is a concubine, and a concubine is a concubine. It is just a plaything brought into the palace by those outside the palace."

When it came to the end, it was almost a word, and the voice was cold: "Emperor, don't be dizzy because of your beauty, you are just a woman."

Those new concubines had already knelt down on the ground, but now they heard such contemptuous words from the queen mother, they couldn't help but turn pale.

"If I am an ordinary prince or prince, then naturally, the imperial concubine is just an ordinary concubine."

Then he smiled coldly, and said proudly: "But I am today, and Gu Qingcheng is on the imperial jade, so he is not an ordinary concubine, but a member of the royal family! And the imperial concubine uniform can be used The color is red, besides, there is no queen in the palace yet."

The Queen Mother looked at Nangong Mo Duoduo, and refused to give an inch. Although she knew that what he said was right, the wolf cub that she raised with her own hands was now out of control.

There is almost nothing else that can make the Queen Mother so angry.

But Nangong Mo actually didn't care about the Queen Mother's mood, he glanced coldly at all the concubines present.

"You really have a heart, one by one, you actually cook for the queen mother to wash her hands and make soup."

As he spoke, he glanced at Mrs. Hui meaningfully, "But the imperial concubine has been kneeling there for so long, and no one is worried about her body? I have already said it clearly when I entered the palace."

"...The teaching mother should have told you a long time ago that in this harem, the most important thing is to be in harmony with each other and not to panic. Is that what you all do?!"

"emperor!"

Being slapped in the face again and again, even the mother's best temper was irritated.

"You look like this, are you talking bad about Ai's family, complaining about your concubine?!"

The emperor and the empress dowager, the two highest-ranking people in the Forbidden City, suddenly became so tense, the servants inside and outside the house, and all the concubines knelt down early, and there was no sound.
