Fast time travel: black lotus has no emotion

Chapter 107

"Why are you all in the mood to come to this palace today?" Gu Liubai directly pointed out the reason for coming.

Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows: "Why, sister is not welcome?"

"How could it be?" Gu Liubai said indifferently: "I was discussing with Hewan about eating pot at noon, so you all came here."

Lifting his chin, he winked at He Wan.

When the curtain was raised again, He Wan came in with a lot of snacks.

"I came here today to ask my younger sister for advice. It will be the empress's birthday soon, and what she means is that, as usual, there is no need to make a fuss. But the emperor has a heart, and he doesn't want her birthday to be as simple as in the past. Therefore, I specially asked this palace to ask all the younger sisters if they have any good ideas for the empress's birthday banquet."

Gu Liubai listened quietly without expressing any opinions.

After Concubine Shu finished speaking, she nodded and said: "It should be done in a big way. The empress has a great responsibility. In the past, it was just a simple matter. Since the emperor said so, it should be done more grandly."

"However, when I entered the palace, my mother's birthday banquet had already passed, so I didn't know the rules of the birthday banquet. The emperor taught this to my sister because I believed in my sister's ability. My sister really can't help you with this matter. , but I have a lot of strength, if my sister needs it, just order her around."

Gu Liubai went around for a long time without asking any constructive questions.

Anyway, she didn't do this kind of work without getting good things!
Concubine Shu didn't expect Gu Liubai to say that.

The emperor entrusted her to handle this matter, the women in the harem were rushing to express their opinions, how did they get to Concubine Hui, and they kicked the iron plate.

Immediately, she couldn't hang on her face, she had a cold face: "Sister, do you have a problem with the empress?"

Gu Liubai didn't care about Concubine Shu's accusation: "How could it be. It's just that my sister really can't come up with a good idea."

"How about we, the concubines in the harem, each give a show to the empress, but my sister is clumsy and blind, and there is a limit to what she can do."

Seeing Gu Liubai's uncooperative attitude, Concubine Shu became very angry.

It was the concubine Wan who was at the side who saw her and comforted her: "Ms. Concubine Shu, Concubine Hui is young and careless. Those of us who are older than her always have to bear more."

After she finished speaking, she met Gu Liubai's eyes, and felt the deep meaning in them, which made her a little scared.

So he turned his head aside.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

At this time, He Sui said from the side: "My lady, aren't you yelling that playing mahjong with your slaves is boring? It just so happened that all the ladies are here. Anyway, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the road is not easy to walk. It's better to be a slave." Take a few cases, ladies and gentlemen, play mahjong in Liuchun Hall."

It's okay if He Sui doesn't talk about it, but when Concubine Shu's hands are twisting the pastry, it's very itchy.

Since being arranged by the emperor to hold a birthday banquet for the queen, she hasn't played mahjong for a long time.

He Sui's words hit her in the arms.

It's just that Gu Liubai just took a slap in the face, and he wanted to agree in his heart, but he couldn't open his mouth no matter what.

Fang Changzai, who lived in Concubine Shu's side hall, saw Concubine Shu's conflicted heart, clapped her hands in a soft voice and said, "That's a good proposal. We have eight people now, so we can make two tables."

Concubine Shu took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, very disdainful: "Since Fang Changzai said so, let's hit it twice."

Gu Liubai pursed his lips and smiled, without her ordering, someone will arrange this matter by himself.

Concubine Shu, Concubine Gu Liubai, Concubine Wan and Concubine An, the four of them sat at a table, and the other four sat at a table.

Gu Liubai was washing mahjong, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of red marks on Wanbi's wrist, as if she had been strangled by something.

She glanced away, then looked away.

The snow outside the window was getting bigger and bigger, making a rustling sound.

Gu Liubai's idea of ​​eating pot in the yard had to be shattered.

Concubine Shu's addiction was very strong, she didn't stop until it was time to eat.

Among the few people, Concubine Shu won a little, Gu Liubai won a lot, as for Concubine Wan and Concubine An, I don't know who lost more and who lost less.

But looking at Anpin's expression, it seems that Wanpin has lost a lot.

After lunch, Concubine Shu left with a group of people.

Gu Liubai was about to rest for a while, when He Wan ran in: "Your Majesty, Concubine Wan is here again."

She opened her eyes suddenly, their eyes were very clear.

"Call in."

"Yes."

Wanbi came alone, not even a waiter followed her.

Seeing this, Gu Liubai also nodded, telling He Wan and the others to retreat.

"Wanbi, did you leave something in Liuchun Palace?"

Concubine Wan put away the false expression on her face: "Concubine Hui, my concubine came today to ask your empress how much you really know."

These words stopped Gu Liubai from asking.

Wanpin thought she knew, but she knew she didn't know.

If what Wanbi was talking about was the dead silence in her eyes and the red marks on her wrists, then she had just learned about it, but she hadn't figured out the story behind it.

"Wanbi, I just ask you, what do you want me to do?"

Gu Liubai looked directly into the other's eyes, not missing a single bit.

Wanpin twitched the corner of her mouth, opened her mouth several times, and closed her mouth several times.

It seems difficult to speak out what is in my heart.

Kneeling on the ground with a plop, "Mother, I beg you to send a letter to the Gu family to thoroughly investigate the Wu family's corruption and fraud case."

"You know the head of the Wu family."

Not a question, but a certainty.

Concubine Wan nodded: "Yes, Wu Yucheng and I have been childhood sweethearts since childhood."

Wu Yucheng?
This again involves a person's name.

But why did she feel that the name was so familiar?

But she knows the Wu family.

The samurai family is a family of craftsmen who have made great contributions to the construction of palaces for the royal family.

She remembered that a few days ago, the imperial court did find out a group of people who practiced favoritism and fraud, but she didn't know the details.

"Wanbi, you begged me, I'm afraid I made the wrong request."

Wanpin shook her head: "No, empress, you must have a way!"

Gu Liubai's eyes froze, and the other party only shrank back.

"Niang Niang, since you can push the eighth prince into the eyes of the emperor, then you can definitely solve the Wu family's affairs." Wanbi was quite desperate.

She remained silent, withdrew the cold breath emanating from her body, and tapped her fingertips on the table one after another.

Looking into the distance, he weighed whether Concubine Wan was worth her help.

After a breath, she slowly said: "If it is determined that the Wu Family is okay, I will help."

Concubine Wan is not like Concubine Shu, so it is feasible to sell her for this favor.

Wanbi immediately showed a relieved expression, kowtowed to Gu Liubai after kneeling on the ground, then got up and was about to leave.

Gu Liubai whispered behind her: "Is it worth it?"

Wanpin paused and didn't look back.

"Concubine Hui, Yucheng is someone who can give up everything for me. He is worth it!"

Gu Liubai looked at her receding back.

worth……

Just worth it.
