Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 640 Slap in the face (1 more)
Taking advantage of the lunch break, Eunuch Mu came to visit Wan Qiu.

"Does the girl feel better?"

Eunuch Mu stood at the door, looked at the slap marks on Panqiu's cheeks, and handed her a small pastel porcelain bottle, "This is the ointment I brought from the imperial pharmacy, it's very effective, you can put some on after cleansing your face, It will disappear in about a day or two."

"It's hard for father-in-law to still miss me." Wan Qiu took the porcelain vase and thanked her.

In fact, when they first came back, Nianchun and the others scoured all the plasters in their room and used them for her. Now they don't feel the pain anymore, and it is estimated that it will be cured within a day.

"Miss, don't you plan to let His Highness know?" Eunuch Mu asked in a low voice.

His Highness doesn't like slaves acting out of rules and intrigues the most. If he knows that Gu Yu regarded himself as a master when he first came, and bosses around Wan Qiu and the others, he will definitely not spare Gu Yu lightly.

Wan Qiu shook his head, "Elder-in-law, please be sure to hide it for me. Aunt Gu Yu belongs to the Empress Empress. If His Highness takes anger at her because of me, Empress will definitely scold me for being seductive and tempting the lord. What's more, it will be bad for you." It has broken down the mother-child relationship between His Highness and Empress."

"But..." Eunuch Mu wanted to say, if you don't confess to His Highness now, if His Highness learns from other people in the future, the consequences will only be more serious.

When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back again.

In the final analysis, Wan Qiu was also thinking about the overall situation.

"Miss wronged." Eunuch Mu could only comfort her like this.

"I'm a slave girl. My aunt is upset. She should take me out of her temper. It's okay. She will always calm down. At most, I'll just pretend to be sick and not see His Highness during these days."

-

Wan Qiu pretended to be sick, so Zhao Xi didn't let her serve her closely.

Gu Yu, on the other hand, did not see Zhao Xi when she came to Chengming Hall several times. She felt wronged, arranged the general affairs of the East Palace, and took time to go back to Kunning Palace.

Today is Zhengdan, the empress's family members came to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the empress, and the prospective side concubine Qi Xuan was also there.

When Gu Yu entered, she saw Qi Xuan wearing a long rose-colored gown, and a full set of Die Lian Hua Cui Yu's head and face set off her small face brightly and radiantly, instantly comparing Gu Yu to others.

Gu Yu had met this Miss Qi San before. At that time, she was still a person close to the Empress Empress, she had nothing to do with the Crown Prince, but she was very close to Miss Qi San. Seeing her now, Gu Yu felt that everything was an eyesore.

"Yo, Miss Qi is here?" Gu Yu walked over with a smile, saluted Empress Qi, and turned to Qi Xuan to bless her.

Qi Xuan took a look at her, her eyes flickering slightly.

When she asked about it just now, the empress said that Gu Yu had been arranged to go to the East Palace.

She had learned it before when she came to Kunning Palace, that Gu Yu was a restless person, so if she went to the East Palace this time, she might not be able to do her duty.

However, thinking of His Royal Highness's desolate and hopeless appearance, Qi Xuan felt that it was impossible for Gu Yu to successfully climb into bed, so her mood eased a little.

The two were looking at each other, Jing Zhe brought hot tea, "Miss Qi, please have some tea."

"Auntie." Qi Xuan smiled softly.

Right now there are only a few female relatives in the palace, and Empress Qi has nothing to worry about, so she directly asked Gu Yu, "I went to the East Palace for a day, how is the situation?"

Gu Yu smiled and said, "Very good."

Even if it was bad, she would never admit it in front of Qi Xuan.

One must know that this is her future rival. With the identity of the Queen's family, His Highness will have to treat her a little bit. Once she gains power, how can she have a place for herself?
Thinking of this, Gu Yu raised his chin, acting as if he was no worse than anyone else.

In the previous dynasty, there were imperial concubines who could conquer emperors who were sixteen or seventeen years younger, but she was only 11 years older. As long as she put in more effort, she would always make His Highness look sideways.

"After the two banquets yesterday, Xi'er must be exhausted, can you ask the imperial dining room to cook some soup for him to nourish himself?"

Although she knew that her son was unlikely to drink, Queen Qi still asked.

Gu Yu's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "This morning, this servant cooks the soup herself."

"Oh?" Empress Qi looked at her with interest, "What soup?"

Xi'er's diet is extremely regular, unless she, a mother, gives something to make people feel more nourished, otherwise he won't take a second look at the food delivered by others, no matter how delicious it is.

So Empress Qi was very curious, could it be that those young ones couldn't catch Xi'er's eyes, and he liked mature ones?
Gu Yu replied: "Cordyceps mutton soup."

As soon as she finished speaking, several people in the hall froze on the spot.

Especially Qi Xuan, staring at her with wide eyes, "His Royal Highness actually drank the soup made by Auntie?"

Gu Yu didn't notice the strangeness of these people at all, she just nodded her head as if they were envious of the crown prince being able to drink the soup she made by herself.

Jing Zhe gave her a wink, intending to tell her to stop talking.

Not only did Gu Yu not understand, but she showed off to Qi Xuan, saying that His Highness has such a good appetite, and even let the servants share some food.

Winking was useless, Jing Zhe coughed twice again in a disguised manner.

Gu Yu still didn't react.

Empress Qi's face darkened slightly.

Qi Xuan smiled, "Maybe my aunt misrepresented the name of the soup? Your Highness never touches food with a strong smell, such as mutton and soft-shelled turtle. He never even glances at it. Since His Highness can drink it So much relish, it must be another soup, right Auntie?"

Listening to Qi Xuan's words, Gu Yu felt her mind go blank.

It was only then that she noticed the eyes cast by Empress Qi from above, and she felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles.

She was only interested in inviting pets, and for a moment it didn't occur to her that His Highness didn't eat these things.

No wonder Eunuch Mu had such a weird expression when he asked him to go to the imperial dining room to fetch fresh mutton.

Gu Yu thought of the prince's reaction when she brought the soup into the palace, and now she wished she could go back in time and slap herself hard.

After realizing that she made a big mistake, there was only a buzzing sound in Gu Yu's head, and she knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty... slave..."

Empress Qi looked at her coldly, "It's only your first day in the East Palace, why would you cook him this kind of soup?"

What is the effect of Cordyceps sinensis mutton soup, Empress Qi can't understand it well.

Yesterday she wanted to summon Xi'er to talk, but she couldn't bear to think that he was exhausted after attending two banquets, and wanted to let him rest for two more days, Gu Yu would be better off, as soon as he arrived in the East Palace, he couldn't wait so much?
There are still two years left for the Crown Princess and the side concubine to get married!
"The servant girl just wants to nourish His Highness, nothing else."

Empress Qi was sullen in her heart, "Although the prince doesn't often eat at Kunning Palace, every time he comes, the palace will ask him to cook some light-flavored food. You should guess that he can't eat strong-flavored food."

Gu Yu only felt that someone had slapped her face several times. She felt sore and ashamed, and kowtowed on the cold floor, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, it's all slaves who don't notice. From now on, slaves will never Made the same mistake."

Jing Zhe glanced at her sympathetically.

At that time, Gu Yu offered to go to the East Palace to be the empress's eyeliner, and she felt that there was something wrong. No, it was only the first day in the East Palace, and the fox's tail was exposed.

At the same time, Jing Zhe felt ashamed for her.

Anyway, he is also an old man who has been serving the empress for many years. He doesn't even have a sense of stability. He does things in a hurry and never cares about the consequences, making him look like a woman from the Goulan courtyard, hungry for hunger.

Seeing this, Qi Xuan smiled, "Your Majesty also said that Aunt Gu Yu just went to the East Palace, and she presumably took care of the backyard affairs for His Royal Highness. It's normal for a aunt to fail to do such a personal service job, so there is no need for your Majesty to scold her. .”

These words sound nice, but in fact, it directly points out that Gu Yu can't be a person around the prince, at most he can help the prince manage his servants.

Gu Yu bit her lip, tears rolled in her eyes, she hated Qi Xuan to death.

But she's just a side concubine, and she's still a virgin, so why should she point fingers at her?
How could Empress Qi not pursue this kind of matter, she stared at Gu Yu tightly, "The prince really drank that soup?"

Gu Yu frowned, she was now in a dilemma, admitting it was wrong, not admitting it was wrong.

If the crown prince drank it, then his spleen and stomach would definitely feel uncomfortable if he drank the mutton. If he didn't drink it, wouldn't he be lying to the queen just now?
No matter whether she drank or not, if she said it out loud, she couldn't even think about it.

Seeing this, Jing Zhe rescued her and said, "Perhaps it's because sister gave the wrong soup name."

"Is that so?" Empress Qi looked suspiciously.

"It's true that the servant made a mistake." Gu Yu walked down the steps, "It was Cordyceps sinensis and black chicken soup. The servant was quick to talk and said the wrong name. I hope the empress will forgive me."

Empress Qi narrowed her eyes. Gu Yu and Jing Zhe are old people who have followed her for more than ten years. Although Gu Yu has always been impetuous, she has always been loyal to her. If she is dealt with because of this incident, it will appear that she, the queen, does not miss the old days. Love is narrow-minded.
