happy match

Three women are a show, and there are more than twenty if not more than a dozen concubines in the main hall. Even if one person speaks a word, it is enough to be lively.

However, amidst such excitement, there was clearly a strange atmosphere surging.Even Queen Gu was a little careless, looking in the direction of the door from time to time.It seems to be waiting for something.

Fortunately, everyone didn't have to wait too long, and the real master appeared soon.

The first one to come was Cao Jieyu.This beautiful woman who came from a scholarly family and has read a lot of poetry and books is really narrow-minded.After greeting Queen Gu with a smile, he gave Ye Qinglan a half-smile.In front of everyone, it was naturally inconvenient to say anything, but the disdain on his expression was fully revealed.

People don't offend me, I don't offend others!If people offend me, I will not forgive them!

Ye Qinglan also raised her eyebrows, and looked back casually.Their eyes met in the air, and they were in a stalemate for a moment before they moved away.

Empress Gu saw it in her eyes, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips, and she opened her mouth calmly, "Cao Jieyu, two days ago in the imperial garden, my niece and daughter-in-law Ye's words offended you, and even the emperor was alarmed. Gong is here to accompany her." It was an apology, but the sarcasm in the words was clearly visible.

Suddenly there was no sound in the main hall, and almost everyone's eyes turned to Cao Jieyu.

No one expected that Queen Gu would take the lead in making the move.No matter how much Cao Jieyu was favored, she was just a low-rank concubine, how could she be worthy of the queen's apology?

As expected, Cao Jieyu's expression changed, and she didn't dare to sit any longer, so she hurriedly stood up.But I haven't had time to speak yet.Ye Qinglan got up as well, and said with an apologetic expression: "Mr. Ye is young and inexperienced, and he spoke carelessly for a while, which offended the empress. If the empress has not calmed down, just scold her, and she will never complain." Then she turned to Empress Gu: "My niece and daughter-in-law were reckless for a while, and my aunt lost face. I was really worried. It's just that my aunt hasn't recovered yet, so I must not get angry because of my niece and daughter-in-law."

Queen Gu glanced at the trembling Cao Jieyu.Sighing deliberately: "It's my aunt who is useless, she can't even protect her own niece and daughter-in-law."

Ye Qinglan's eyes immediately turned red, and she choked up and said: "Auntie said so, my niece and daughter-in-law are really ashamed and shameless. It's my niece and daughter-in-law who made things difficult for my aunt..."

The two sang together like this, and Cao Jieyu's expression turned ashen.The arrogance he had just now was gone, and he blindly lowered his head to apologize: "It's all the concubine's fault, I beg the empress to forgive me..."

"Forgive me?" Empress Gu looked over with a half-smile, "Cao Jieyu was wronged, so it is inevitable to cry to the emperor. What is the crime?" The tone was still casual and indifferent, but every sentence was stinging.

Cao Jieyu's face was flushed red, burning hot.

In the concubines watching the excitement.Naturally, there were also people from Queen Gu's faction, and someone immediately echoed: "What the empress said is true. Cao Jieyu is now being favored, and it is inevitable that the emperor will favor him."

"That's not the way to say it." Some people sing red faces and others sing bad faces: "As a concubine, she should be virtuous and generous. Even if there are occasional quarrels, she will not be bitter and cry in front of the emperor. The emperor is busy with the affairs of the court. , and have to worry about such trivial matters in the harem, it makes those of us who are also concubines blush."

Cao Jieyu has been in the limelight recently, and she doesn't know how to restrain herself.It has already become a thorn in the eyes of everyone.Seeing such a good opportunity to sneer, everyone of course refused to let it go.

Cao Jieyu's eyes were already watery.If it weren't for the embarrassment of crying on the spot, I'm afraid I couldn't help crying a long time ago.

The two tears that Ye Qinglan shed before were purely pretending, they had been wiped clean with a handkerchief, and she was just watching the fun from the sidelines.

As expected, none of the women in the harem was a good stubble, each one was more charming than the other when she smiled, but the words that came out of her mouth were all bitter and mean.Although this Cao Jieyu was born beautiful, her tongue was not very sharp, and almost everyone who was besieged by her was about to cry.

At this moment, Concubine Zheng also arrived.Followed closely by her side was Huang Meiren.This Huang beauty is much smarter than Cao Jieyu. She knew that there would be a verbal dispute when she came to the Hall of Fengyi today to pay her respects.Therefore, he firmly hugged the big tree of Concubine Zheng.

As soon as Concubine Zheng entered the hall, the atmosphere suddenly changed again.

Cao Jieyu, who was ridiculed and couldn't even raise her head, saw Concubine Zheng as if she was a relative, and she almost rushed over to complain with tears in her eyes.

Concubine Zheng didn't even look at her, instead she came forward to greet Queen Gu with a smile and said hello: "Hearing that the queen's condition has improved, the concubine is very happy. Seeing her today, she really looks better. Her complexion is better than ours. These healthy people look better."

Empress Gu smiled and let people watch the seats, and said kindly: "I have been idle for so long, and I eat, drink and sleep well in Fengyi Hall every day, so my complexion is naturally rosy. Concubine Zheng, on the other hand, works hard every day. It looks a little thinner than before."

Concubine Zheng quickly laughed and said: "The empress said that, she really offended the concubines. It is the concubine's duty to share the worries for the empress. Now that the empress is in good health, the concubines can finally breathe a sigh of relief. I can't wait Immediately throw away this mess of trivial matters, and relax."

Empress Gu said with a pleasant smile: "I still have to recuperate for a few days before I can recover, and I have to trouble you for a few more days. After this matter is over, I will be the first to reward you in front of the emperor." Woolen cloth!"

……

Both of them had smiles on their faces, and they spoke in a soft and airy manner. This picture looked indescribably harmonious.Only by savoring it carefully can one perceive the shadow of sword, light and sword hidden in it.

Once the two bosses clashed, other idlers naturally had no chance to intervene, and all became background.

After a while of gossip, Concubine Zheng brought up what happened in the imperial garden two days ago: "...it's nothing to say, it's all a quick talk, and it made me feel a little unhappy while talking. Cao Jieyu also made a big fuss It's not worth bothering the emperor with some trivial matters. Please forgive Cao Jieyu for the sake of Cao Jieyu's youth and ignorance."

...In this palace, it doesn't matter who is right or wrong, what matters is the direction of the Sacred Heart.The emperor's reaction to Fengyi Hall yesterday is enough to represent everything.Therefore, even Concubine Zheng had to beat around the bush to excuse Cao Jieyu.

Empress Gu's eyes flashed, and she pulled the corners of her lips with a smile that was not a smile: "Cao Jieyu can't be blamed for this matter. It is also my niece and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ye, who is outspoken and out of proportion. Let alone Cao Jieyu, Even I was a little unhappy when I heard it. I even said something like wives and concubines fighting and family restlessness." Intentionally or unintentionally, he bit down the words "wives and concubines fighting and family restlessness".

Even Concubine Zheng's palace is quite deep, and her face changed slightly.

Empress Gu admired Concubine Zheng's complexion, she was in an indescribably happy mood, she purposely said nothing, just smiled.

Concubine Zheng suppressed the unceasing anger in her heart, and forced a smile: "Mr. Ye didn't mean it either, so please don't take it to heart, Empress."

Empress Gu smiled happily and said: "Concubine Zheng Gui is really broad-minded, and she doesn't haggle over every detail with the younger generation, which is really admirable." She winked at Ye Qinglan again.Ye Qinglan immediately understood, and stood up respectfully to make amends: "Thank you for your generosity, Imperial Concubine."

Concubine Zheng swallowed her sullen breath bitterly, and raised a smile: "Okay, this matter is over now, and no one will mention it in the future."

This confrontation ended with Queen Gu winning a complete victory.

After all the concubines had left, Queen Gu allowed herself to laugh heartily.The mood that has been depressed for a long time is finally completely cleared up.Looking at Ye Qinglan again, it's really pleasing to the eye even if you look from left to right.Only such a smart and clever woman can be a good match for Gu Xinian!

"Qinglan, it's all thanks to you this time that I let out such a bad breath." Queen Gu smiled very kindly.

Ye Qinglan still refused to take credit, and replied with a smile: "It's my aunt's sharp words, Qinglan is just following the flag and shouting."

The more humble she was, the more comfortable Empress Gu felt. After thinking for a while, she said: "Concubine Zheng is narrow-minded and must take revenge. Today, I was temporarily overwhelmed by my words. It may not be easy for you in the short term. However, just in case One, you should stay in the Hall of Fengyi from now on, don't go out easily." The Hall of Fengyi is the territory of Empress Gu, and after so many years of operation, no one can make trouble in it, but after leaving the Hall of Fengyi, I dare not say it.

Ye Qinglan also knew the power of this, so she responded with a smile.

Empress Gu stared at Ye Qinglan, and suddenly sighed: "You are indeed a sincere and good boy, but I underestimated you in the past." There was a rare trace of apology in her tone.

Ye Qinglan was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood.It seems that the shrewd Empress Gu couldn't hide the awkwardness between her and Gu Xinian at all.It's just that there is still room for him, so he pretended to be stupid and kept her.It was not until this moment that Empress Gu really started to face up to her niece-in-law!

In fact, half of what she did was out of a psychiatrist's sense of responsibility, and she didn't want to leave half-cured patients behind.The other half was for Gu Xinian, for Mrs. Zheng, and for Dingguo's mansion.When it comes to really talking about the feelings for Queen Gu, there really isn't much.

However, since Queen Gu has misunderstood.Might as well let this wonderful misunderstanding continue.At present, it seems that the advantages of wooing Queen Gu outweigh the disadvantages.

Ye Qinglan squeezed out a sad smile, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Don't worry, Auntie, it won't be too late for me to go back after your illness is completely cured."

While talking, the palace maid came to report: "Princess Concubine Lin led Concubine Lin and Concubine Shen to come." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is My biggest motivation.)
