Palace scheming: Empress Leng Gong I

Chapter 7
"Let's go, Bitao, if the emperor knows that you said he was a peacock, I guess..." Yun Qing smiled and put down the curtain of the car, and heard Bitao stomping angrily outside as expected: "Miss, I hate it! who!"

With a slight smile, Yun Qing's strange feeling just now dissipated.

Perhaps, that's just a person who is curious about his own identity, anyway, he has to adapt to other people's strange eyes in the future.Just treat yourself as the third young lady of the Yunfu before, only if you don't get surprised by favor or humiliation, can you live and work in the turmoil!

The Yun Mansion was just as Bi Tao imagined, there was no very lively welcoming ceremony, and there were no figures of the master and the ladies of each house at the door.Only the old housekeeper Uncle Yun and some servants of the mansion were waiting at the gate of the mansion.

"Miss, we're here!" Bi Tao pulled the curtain of the car for Yun Qing, carefully helped her out of the carriage, and then ordered the two accompanying servants to bring in the gifts they had brought.

"Grassmen see empress empress, empress is a thousand years old!" A group of servants headed by the housekeeper knelt down to salute after seeing Yun Qing get off the car, and they no longer called Yun Qing their young lady.

Even though Yun Qing is just a well-known queen who has fallen out of favor, no one dares not to abide by this etiquette.

What's more, the servants in the mansion usually like Miss San's calm temperament, so they don't pay much attention to the rumors from the outside world. When they saw Yun Qing with a gentle face, there was a happy smile on his face.

"Free gift!"

"Your Majesty, Master is waiting for you in the study!" Yun Qing smiled slightly and ordered everyone to get up.On the side, Uncle Yun led Yun Qing into the mansion unobtrusively, and informed Yun Qing in a low voice with a calm face.

"Father?" Yun Qing was slightly stunned, not sure how her father, who had always been indifferent to her, would let her go to the study room that he never let herself in as soon as she came back!

I remember that even Yunxiu and Yunya were no exception.In my impression, only the second elder brother Yun Xiao, who is a man, can enter and leave there.

When he walked all the way to Yun Tianhai's study with a puzzled heart, Yun Qing saw his father's tall figure standing quietly in front of the desk with his back to him in the backlight.

The door of the room was gently closed by Uncle Yun, blocking the sunlight from the outside world and Bi Tao's suspicious eyes.

"Father." With a soft cry, Yun Qing bowed to Yun Tianhai as usual, and did not wait for his father to greet him because he was already a queen.

Unexpectedly, Yun Tianhai was not in a hurry to stop Yun Qing's movements, but turned around slowly, with deep eyes on his handsome young face.

As if he wanted to take a closer look at Yun Qing's appearance, Yun Tianhai just looked at Yun Qing quietly, turning a blind eye to her salute.

After a long time, he gently raised his sleeves, and a seldom seen chuckle appeared on his face, and he said gently: "Qing'er has really grown up, and she looks more and more like your dead mother."

Yun Qing's eyes moved, his expression slightly surprised.

However, the warmth that had just risen from the bottom of my heart was quickly broken by reality.Hearing Yun Tianhai's voice paused for a moment, he spoke again, and it was as calm as autumn water: "It's just that your temperament seems to be more like her, and it's just as useless."

"Father!" Yun Qing clenched her palms tightly, her emotion just now was shattered by the indifferent man in front of her.

How could father think of mother for no reason.Because in his heart, there has never been a figure of his mother, and even at the rare family banquets, there has never been a foothold of his mother.

I'm afraid that in the entire Yunfu, the only one who can remember what mother looks like is myself!

"Okay. Today is the day for you to return home. Dad didn't want to embarrass you. After all, you are the daughter of my Yun Tianhai, and the empress who was proclaimed by the empress dowager. You are dressed so poorly. Do you want to set an example for me? ?" Yun Tianhai cast his eyes coldly on Yun Qing's light makeup, although his voice was calm, the words he said were full of reproach.

"Father has always been calm in his sleeves, so why should Yun Qing act like that!" With a sudden release of his palms, Yun Qing knew that the reason why his father, who never asked himself whether he was alive or not, summoned him in the study today was only because he was the queen now.

Still an incompetent queen who fell out of favor and made him laugh at others!
After finishing speaking, Yun Qing laughed silently from the bottom of her heart.

My surname is Yun and my name is Qing, it seems that this name will never separate the family.From childhood to adulthood, in front of Yun Tianhai, Yunqing called herself Yunqing, unlike Yunxiu and Yunya, she only called herself Xiu'er and Ya'er.

As a daughter, she is an exception.But she didn't want to enter the palace, she still had to call herself Yunqing.

Because the person who hated him said that she is not his wife, so she is not worthy to call herself a concubine.

Heh, in this world, there is only one person who has ever called himself softly - Yun.

Yun Tianhai gave her a cold look, although he could hear the irony in Yun Qing's words, he didn't seem to care.

He walked slowly to the desk beside him and sat down. He flipped open a handbook on the desk and said indifferently: "The establishment of the empress is a major event known throughout the country. I expected you to come back alone now. But , as the prime minister's daughter, you can fall out of favor, but you can't be deposed. Otherwise, where will my Yun family face be, and how can you afford the loss of Xiao'er and Ya'er's future future!"

As if feeling Yun Qing's slightly stiff body, he raised his eyes to look at her lightly, and continued: "So, you must remember what I warned you today, and keep your back seat! Otherwise, I will definitely be there Before you are abolished, let you be completely abolished."

There was a sudden pain in the palm of his hand, and those ice-like words didn't hit his body, but pierced his heart that had already lost its temperature.

Yun Qing never knew that she was not favored at home, but her father in front of her, although he rarely asked about her affairs, had never treated her so ruthlessly.

Oh, maybe it's just because, all this time, he had completely forgotten that there is such a daughter as her in this world!
Yun Qing didn't know how he got to the living room and sat on the most honored VIP seat of the Yun family, receiving the sharp gazes of sarcasm or laughter from the whole room.She just ate the food in the bowl silently, disregarding the supposedly warm atmosphere as an ordinary family dinner.

It's just that she has moved from an inconspicuous corner to an extremely conspicuous position.

"Isn't my sister not full in the palace? Why do you keep your head down and eat without talking?" A playful chuckle broke the murmur of the whole room, making Yun Qing unable to listen to it even if she wanted to.

She didn't need to raise her head to know that it was the fourth young lady who was most loved by everyone in the Yun family, one of the three talented women in Tianque, her fourth younger sister - Yun Ya.

The eyes of the surroundings changed from being intentional or unintentional just now to cast on her face in unison, and everyone had a good-looking smile on their faces, as if Yun Qing was specially made for them to make fun of.

Among these people, apart from Yun Tianhai's expression unchanged, there was one person who did not look at Yun Qing with the same curiosity as the others, and that was Yun Qing's second brother, Yun Xiao.

"Fourth sister, don't be rude. Third sister is now a queen. How can we ordinary people still joke around?" Seeing that Yun Qing was still eating quietly, the corner of Yunxiu's lips curled up when she was married. With a soft snort, he pretended to reprimand Yun Ya who was sitting beside him.

"Eldest sister is really annoying, people are just talking casually..."

"Ya'er, don't mess around, the queen is the queen, how can you still be called a sister? If you continue to be so disrespectful and offend the empress, you will be punished for your bad words!" Yun Ya was complaining, and she was on the sidelines. The second wife had already raised her slender voice bitterly, obviously to reprimand Yun Ya, but the ridicule in her eyes was clearly aimed at Yun Qing.

Standing behind Yun Qing, Bi Tao couldn't help blushing, she really didn't expect these ladies and ladies to bully her like this.

In the past, when no one cared about the lady, they couldn't find anyone to vent their boredom, so they would find trouble with the lady every day.

Although the lady is out of favor now, she is still the queen of a country, so do they treat the queen like this?
"Er Niang is out!" Just as Bi Tao's chest was heaving with anger, Yun Qing spoke softly.Then, as if she couldn't hear the bitter insinuation of the second lady, she smiled slightly at the corner of her lips and continued to eat.

It seems that only the food in the bowl of Yunfu suits her taste, and she discards all other people and things.

Finally someone couldn't help but let out a clear sneer, and when Yun Qing ignored it, the dignified lady of the Yun Manor lazily said: "A humble woman is a humble woman, and she can be as good as her mother is." daughter. A daughter of a humble life, even if she becomes a queen, she will still be unable to escape this humble fate!"

Yun Xiao's handsome eyebrows were raised, and he looked at the contemptuous aunt in surprise, then cast his eyes on the still calm father, and slightly frowned.

It seems that Yun Qing's status in the family will never be improved.

"Ma'am, please respect yourself!" Just when everyone thought that Yun Qing would remain silent, they heard a "snap", the jade chopsticks in Yun Qing's hand had been placed on the table crisply, and there was a sound of collision. , let everyone's heart beat.

Yun Qing didn't get up, but raised his head steadily, staring directly at the proud lady, there was no smile on his gentle face: "Yun Qing knows that he is virtuous and incompetent, even though he was lucky enough to be named a queen, he fell out of favor. It's also normal. In Yunfu, Yunqing is only a concubine, and my mother left early, aunt, second mother, elder sister, younger sisters, if you see my eyes, I can hide in the gate of the west courtyard, and I can't walk through the second gate. Happy to be at ease. But aunt should never, never should, you should not insult my long-dead mother! Yun Qing can endure aunt laughing at Yun Qing, but you will never be allowed to laugh at my mother."

Yun Qing spoke very calmly, there was no trace of anger on her beautiful face, but those plain words suddenly caused ripples in the room.

All the people in the room were surprised, their eyes seemed to want to see clearly, whether this indifferent and cold woman at this time was the girl who was so silent that she would never reply even if someone stretched out her hand to slap her in the face.

"Yunqing lost her mother at the age of three. With a word from the aunt, she threw Yunqing alone into the desolate west courtyard. There was only a nanny with a handicap beside her. She was the only old girl who my mother had been close to. Two years later , the nanny died of illness, I cried and ran to beg my aunt to bury her properly, but in exchange my aunt said, "It's just a nanny who died, let the servants pack a straw mat and throw it away." At that moment, Yun Qing looked at the aunt being carried The nanny who went out, her eyes were swollen from crying, ran up to hug her desperately, but was mercilessly pulled away by the aunt. Yun Qing still remembers that the aunt said that Yun Qing was the nemesis! If you kill your mother and then kill your nanny, it is better to die as soon as possible Reincarnation, go on the road to accompany my mother who died early!"

Yun Qing stood up slowly, although it was a slight movement, everyone felt that she had brought a chill into the room.

"Ma'am, people are not grass and trees, but you are not as good as grass and trees!"

She walked gently to the side of the eldest lady, twitched the corner of her mouth, and never looked at her trembling hands with anger, and walked directly behind the second lady beside her. Not as innocent as my sister Yunya, nor as generous and lively as my sister Yunxiu. Therefore, every time Erniang sees me, she always says that I am a boring hoof, and Yunqing always laughs it off. Erniang, do you know that every time I hear your words , why does Yunqing always laugh?"

As she said that, Yun Qing laughed again, but her beautiful eyes fell directly on the back of the second lady's round hand, and she smiled softly, loudly: "Because, Er Niang, your plump wrist always makes me follow you." The red pig's trotters remind me of a place."

"You!" The second lady threw her chopsticks away, her eyes flashing with anger, but her hands subconsciously retracted into her sleeves, and she was actually speechless.

"Cough, Qing'er can't be unreasonable!" Yun Tianhai, who had been silent all this time, finally coughed lightly, as if he had just realized that the atmosphere in the room had changed drastically.

He glanced at Yun Qing indifferently, his voice was calm, but his piercing eyes revealed a hint of majesty.

The corners of Yun Qing's lips slightly lifted, her eyes glanced at Yun Xiu and Yun Ya whose expressions had changed, and finally fixed on the serious face of Yun Tianhai.

She knew that she talked too much today, but if she didn't say some things when she should say them, she wouldn't need to say them again for the rest of her life.

"Father, in fact, the person Yun Qing loves the most all the time is father. When he was seven years old, one day Yunqing sneaked out of the house to pay respects to his mother and nanny, and bumped into father by accident for the first time. At that time, father recognized After Yunqing became your daughter, he unexpectedly pointed out a little girl to Yunqing, and from then on, the lonely Yunqing finally had a companion... Even when he asked a Taoist priest to show the eldest sister and fourth sister, Dad suddenly Thinking of Yun Qing, I also made a fortune for Yun Qing by the way!"

With a wry smile, Yun Qing looked at Yun Tianhai, who seemed to have a strange color flowing in his eyes, raised his voice again, and looked straight into those shrewd and sharp eyes: "Father, Yun Qing always thought that even if the entire Yun Mansion had forgotten Me, at least Dad still remembers me. But I was wrong, Dad never remembered Yun Qing! Because, how can a man who has long forgotten his wife's appearance remember the child he had with that woman? So Yunqing doesn't blame father, today's family banquet tasted very good, Yunqing will remember it forever. Just like what father told Yunqing today, Yunqing will never forget it!"

After finishing speaking, she didn't care whether the people at the table behind her were shocked or angry, she flicked her sleeves gracefully: "Bitao, let's go back to the palace."

"Yes!" Bi Tao, who had been stunned by Yun Qing's performance for a long time, finally came back to her senses at this moment, and looked at the back of the young lady striding towards the sunshine outside, covered with a layer of gold lightly.

"Stop!" Several shouts rang out at the same time, including the angry first lady, the excited second lady, and the unconvinced Yun Ya... However, everyone's voices were covered by Yun Tianhai's cold shout.

For a moment, the expressions on everyone's faces changed rapidly, from anger and surprise just now to secretly elated.

Yun Qing stopped nonchalantly, without turning around: "What do you have to say, Prime Minister?"

Covered in a light golden dress, in the eyes of Yun Xiao who had been silent all this time, she suddenly became extremely glamorous.

Yun Tianhai's eyes sank, from Yun Qing's father just now to the prime minister at this time, he knew: Yun Qing's attitude towards him has changed.

However, this is exactly what he wanted.

His eyes sank, a strange look flashed across Yun Tianhai's young face, and he said coldly: "Your Majesty behaved like a queen today, I hope that your Majesty will be as majestic as she is today in the palace. Then, A queen can always be a queen!"

After finishing speaking, under everyone's puzzled gaze, Yun Tianhai actually raised a surprising smile, and respectfully performed a standard monarch's salute to Yun Qing's back, saying: "I respectfully send you Empress! Please go, my empress! My empress is a thousand years old!"

"master?"

"Father..." For a moment, the other people turned pale with shock. Under Yun Tianhai's respectful obeisance, although they were unwilling, they had no choice but to kneel down.

Seeing that beautiful figure with his back turned to the crowd unmoved, some people almost gritted their tongues in secret hatred.

Yun Qing's palms tightened, a kind of extreme irony made her stand silently by the door without saying a word.

Then, she lifted the hem of her clothes and left resolutely.
