happy match

Queen Gu's face was calm, but there was a hint of joy in her eyes.

Seeing it in her eyes, Ye Qinglan couldn't help secretly laughing.

Even in front of Mrs. Sun, Queen Gu didn't say anything about the quarrel with the emperor that day.She always thought that she hid this secret very well, but she didn't know that Ye Qinglan already knew her secret clearly.What's more, Ye Qinglan deliberately offended Concubine Zheng and made such a big noise just to create such an opportunity for her.

Empress Gu is a smart person, she will definitely make good use of this opportunity...

The next day, the emperor really came to Fengyi Hall.

It was the first time for Ye Qinglan to see the face of the sky. After kowtowing obediently, she stood aside and quietly raised her eyes to look at the emperor.

The emperor is also in his 40s this year, his eyes are small but very lively, and he has a short beard.In terms of appearance alone, it is far inferior to Gu Hong, even compared to Ye Chengli.But in every gesture, there is a majesty and aura that others can't match.The appearance of the crown prince Zhao  was largely inherited from Queen Gu, but he was not quite similar to the emperor.On the contrary, the third prince, the charm in the corners of his eyes and brows is like that of an emperor.

No wonder the emperor has always favored the third prince.As a father, who would not like a son who is more like his own?

Empress Gu's illness has recovered by [-]% to [-]%, and her complexion is much better than before.But after a serious illness, the clearing of the cheeks is obvious, and he deliberately made a cautious gesture, which made the emperor feel a little pity in his heart.Thinking that I hadn't come to visit for two months, I couldn't help but soften my tone: "Is the queen feeling better?"

Empress Gu's face was filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I have recovered recently." After a pause, she sighed again: "These days I have been resting in peace, and my concubines often reflect on themselves. , Deficiencies in virtue, causing worry to become ill. Now the body has finally improved, the concubine thought, from today onwards, I will eat fast, chant Buddha, and live in meditation. As for these tedious affairs in the palace, Concubine Zheng takes care of them very well, You don't need to worry about your concubine."

These words are implicit and ambiguous, and the translation is straightforward. In fact, I already know that I am wrong. From now on, I will stay in Fengyi Hall honestly and will not compete with Concubine Zheng.

Ye Qinglan secretly admired in her heart.As expected of being immersed in the palace for many years, Queen Gu's move of retreating into advancement is really wonderful.First he admitted his mistake in a low voice, and then lowered his posture.In this way, the anger in the emperor's heart will naturally disappear.

In the past, Empress Gu was ill and could not preside over the palace affairs, so Concubine Zheng was appointed to act as her agent.Empress Gu has almost recovered now.It is obviously inappropriate for Concubine Zheng to assist the Sixth Palace.Even if the emperor dotes on Concubine Zheng, he will not throw aside the dignity of his original wife.so.When Queen Gu said these words, she was pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic.

The emperor's face softened a little, and he said with a faint smile: "The empress is the queen of the sixth palace, and it is natural to be in charge of the sixth palace. You were sick a few days ago and needed to rest in peace, so I asked the noble concubine to help with the palace affairs When you are fully recovered, it is better to take over all these trivial matters as soon as possible."

Queen Gu was taken aback.Then complex emotions such as shame, touch, and joy flashed in his eyes, and he opened his mouth tremblingly: "I thought...the emperor treats me so lovingly and kindly. I am really overjoyed..." As he spoke, there was a flash of light in his eyes. The water shines.

Seeing Queen Gu like this, the emperor was also a little moved, and the remaining unhappiness in his heart disappeared.And a few gentle words of comfort.

Seeing Queen Gu's excellent singing and reciting performance, Ye Qinglan really admired her in her heart.Among the women she has seen so far, the one with the highest acting skills belongs to Queen Gu.Of course, Shen Qiuyu is also a master of acting, but, after all, she is still a little less hot.Sometimes there are still real emotions revealed in the details.Empress Gu is more proficient and seasoned, this behavior is completely natural and flawless...

As the knot between the emperor and Queen Gu melted away, the atmosphere in Fengyi Hall became more relaxed and harmonious.

The emperor glanced at Ye Qinglan seemingly casually, and asked with a smile: "This is Mrs. Gu's newly married daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ye! I heard Mrs. Ye is quick-witted, eloquent, and intelligent. When I saw her today, I thought it was a bit exaggerated. "

The so-called quick-witted, eloquent, and witty are obviously implying something.It seems that someone has indeed complained in the emperor's ear.I just don't know if the person who complained is Concubine Zheng, or Cao Jieyu and Huang Meiren...

Empress Gu was already mentally prepared, and said with a quick smile: "These days the concubine has been depressed, thanks to Mrs. Ye's daily companionship, the condition has improved."

The emperor seemed to be interested, and raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Is it true?"

Without Queen Gu's winking, Ye Qinglan also took two steps forward, and responded respectfully: "The empress has praised you, but Ye's work is limited. It's because the empress is thinking of the emperor and His Royal Highness, and she doesn't want to worry everyone with her sick body." , That's why he got better so quickly. Mrs. Ye dare not take credit for it!"

Sure enough, he is eloquent...

The emperor's eyes flashed, and he took a look at Ye Qinglan.Although there is a difference between men and women, but he is the emperor and the elder, so there is no need to avoid suspicion, so he just looked at it openly.That beautiful face of Yixi Yichen Qiaoxiao came into view, and the smile on his lips was even more pleasant.

The emperor is also a man, so he couldn't be angry with such a charming young woman.Thinking of the scene of Cao Jieyu wiping tears and complaining yesterday, it also made him curious about this Ye Qinglan.

Everyone in the palace knew that Cao Jieyu was a newly favored concubine, and Zheng Guifei was even more favored in the Sixth Palace, and it was too late for everyone to flatter her.This Ye Qinglan is quite courageous, she dared to blatantly embarrass Concubine Zheng, Cao Jieyu and others...

Ye Qinglan suddenly knelt down: "If you have the courage to say something, I hope the emperor will approve it."

This sudden appearance made Empress Gu startled.Let alone the emperor, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "If you have something to say, you might as well listen to it." But Ye Qinglan didn't open her mouth to get up.

Ye Qinglan knelt down honestly and said: "My Majesty, I met the imperial concubine, Empress Cao, Empress Huang and others in the imperial garden yesterday. Ye's quick talk has somehow annoyed a few empresses. I came back yesterday Since then, I have been in a state of anxiety. I hope the emperor will forgive me!"

The emperor's expression was indifferent, with no signs of happiness or anger, his deep eyes fixed on Ye Qinglan's body: "According to what you said, you did not intend to collide yesterday, did you do it on purpose?"

Ye Qinglan boldly raised her eyes and glanced, her eyes were clear and frank: "Mr. Ye is young and ignorant, and I don't know which sentence offended the empress."

It's true that Empress Gu is a master of acting, and Ye Qinglan is not inferior in the slightest.This straightforward defense did not reveal the slightest guilt, even the emperor began to waver when he watched it.

The emperor's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "Wife and concubine struggle, and the house is restless, you must always say these two words!"

Queen Gu took a deep breath.It's no wonder that even Concubine Zheng, who is quite well established in the city, was so angry that her face changed on the spot. Such words fell into Concubine Zheng's ears, and it was simply heartbreaking...

But Ye Qinglan admitted frankly: "Yes, I did." Before the emperor's eyes darkened, she argued aggrievedly: "However, when he said these words at that time, Mrs. Ye never thought of using these words to express What are you alluding to. It was Cao Niangniang and Huang Niangniang who first mentioned the fact that Mrs. Ye was fortunate to marry into Dingguo's mansion, and Mrs. Ye just casually talked about the promise her husband made in public on the day of marriage."

As if recalling the scene of humiliation in the Royal Garden yesterday, Ye Qinglan's eyes were red, and her voice was a little choked up: "Mr. Now that I have married into my husband's family, I naturally have to maintain dignity for my husband's family. That's why I said inappropriate things when I was in a hurry. I didn't expect to offend the imperial concubine and Cao Niangniang, Huang Niangniang, all mistakes are Ye's fault Wrong. The empress does not know about all this, and I hope the emperor will learn from me!"

After speaking, I couldn't control it anymore, and the teardrops slowly rolled down from the corners of my eyes.

This time, it was Queen Gu's turn to say it in her heart.This Ye Qinglan is really too smart!Pointing at Sang and scolding Huai for humiliating the concubine, if this big hat is suppressed, even if Queen Gu tries to protect her, Ye Qinglan will not be able to get away with it.But now, Ye Qinglan cleverly positioned this verbal dispute as a momentary gaffe.What's even better is that he also intentionally or unintentionally emphasized that he was humiliated first, so he fought back in a moment of anger, but the nature was completely different.

What's more, although Ye Qinglan is young, she is after all Empress Gu's own nephew and daughter-in-law, and also the daughter-in-law of Duke Ding's mansion.To be humiliated by others is to embarrass Queen Gu and the government, so what's wrong with fighting back?

Clever tongue, nothing more than that!

As expected, the emperor was also dumbfounded. He glanced at the wronged and pitiful Ye Qinglan, who was kneeling and crying, and said softly, "I'm just asking casually, I don't mean to question you. Well, you should get up first!"

Ye Qinglan thanked her, and after getting up, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief.But the aggrieved expression with red eyes made people feel pity.

Empress Gu didn't say a word, at this moment she sighed suddenly, and blamed herself: "The concubine has been in a daze these days, and she doesn't know anything about the outside world. Mrs. Ye ran into Concubine Zheng and Cao Jie in the imperial garden." Yuhuang beauties are all concubines who are not strict in teaching. If the emperor blames the crime, please punish the concubine..."

As he said that, he got up with a face of shame.

But the emperor pressed Queen Gu's hand: "You haven't healed yet, so sit down with peace of mind. I'm not a fool who listens and believes, and I know what's right and what's wrong." (To be continued.
