Chen Palace

Chapter 34 Xiao Qiang
Aunt Ye thought for a while, and replied: "She's a smart one—she will remember the Empress Dowager's kindness."

The Empress Dowager laughed, shook her head and said: "If it's irrelevant news, she will miss a little bit, and ask her to tell the whole story of the emperor's deeds. You should die as soon as possible!"

She smiled and looked at the stunned Aunt Ye: "I know the emperor's temperament best, and if he can't trust him, he will definitely not keep it by his side—that little eunuch Qin Xi, no matter how much effort you put in, you still can't hold him back? "

At this moment, a steward hurried to the curtain, hesitant to enter, Aunt Ye called her to her, and her expression changed in surprise!

She turned around and went to the Empress Dowager's ear and said a few words, the Empress Dowager's anger was nothing small, she was so angry that her hands and feet were cold, and she tore the beautiful painting fan on the floor in half——

"What kind of goddamn world is this?! When did I ever have such a will?!"

Her heart started to hurt again, Aunt Ye hurriedly handed over the teacup, the queen mother let out a sigh of relief, and said sternly: "Okay! Every one of them has stiff wings!!"

Chen Lu walked out of the back hall, only to find that the banquet in the palace had reached its climax——

At this time, the night was already falling, and on the high hall, two rows of gold-threaded honey candles as thick as arms lit the hall as brightly as day.

At this time, the lights were brightly lit, and the fragrance was lingering. All the concubines watched the singing and dancing in the palace, or talked and laughed, or whispered, or leaned in the case half drunk, a little bit drunk, and looked even more charming and charming like a lotus flower.

Because they no longer need to avoid the empress dowager, they have already changed into the most gorgeous palace dresses nowadays, with high buns like clouds, competing for splendor and beauty, and each is good at winning.

Their skirts stretch and flow like misty clouds, overlapping hazy folds, showing deep or shallow shadows under the light, like an ancient, mysterious and incomprehensible secret.

Under the full makeup, all of them are stunning, but those eyes are shining brightly, and they are always inadvertently looking towards the head——

That is their emperor, their husband, the source of all their ups and downs!

Yuan Qi didn't see these expectant eyes, he was talking to the queen——

"Your Majesty...has lost a lot of weight recently..."

The queen said in a low voice, as if she didn't know what to say, she thought about a topic for a long time.

She stared at Yuan Qi, her warm and big eyes were full of sorrow, but she dodged a little, not daring to look at him.

Yuan Qi these days, thinking of her viciousness and insidiousness, feels filled with loathing, and has no intention of even entering Zhaoyang Palace. The emperor and empress respect each other like "ice".

The queen tried to speak, Yuan Qi didn't want to pay attention to her, but looked at her under the lamp, his heart gradually softened.

I don't know if it's because the wine is too intoxicating, or the bright lights, just like the old days, he thought of the moment when he first met her——

On the night after Lihou, when Zhuyu Honggai was provoked, her small body was trembling with fear, so gentle and shy, didn't she never admire her?

Why did that little beauty with clear eyes like a deer become like this during the years?

"Your majesty..." The queen was still calling in a low voice——

She didn't call me that before... Yuan Qi closed his eyes in pain, thinking of the soft and sweet "Brother Qi" before.

"Your Majesty, let's come and see my concubine tonight..."

Yuan Qi wanted to refuse, but in front of his eyes, that pitiful, fresh and pleasing smiling face appeared again——

"it is good……"

At this moment, seeing the emperor and the empress whispering, the concubines couldn't help but feel jealousy in their eyes, Yunluo covered her mouth and said with a smile: "The emperor and the empress are like glue, I really envy the dead servants and concubines!"

The queen lowered her head in shame, and a steward looked at her face at this time, and brought two identical ginseng soup——

"The queen mother gave it to the two masters!"

Chen Lu quietly looked at the banquet held by Zanying Huasheng, a little bored, she saw that no one was paying attention, so she took advantage of the hustle and bustle in the hall, and took her clothes out.

The hall was empty, and the night was very warm and refreshing. She looked up at the night sky, looking for the stars in the boundless darkness——

Under the starry sky, she remembered the first time she saw Lin Yuan when she was a child.

The beautiful girl opened her mouth lightly, and asked without any trace of dust: "Is this the daughter born to the maidservant?"

Immediately, as if she was afraid of being stained with dust or something else, she turned her head away and walked gracefully.

At that time, how did he sneer back?

After several trials and struggles, at the Tongguan meeting, how did I smile and look at the terrified Lin family?
At that time, the youthful spirit, only thinking of happiness and enmity, but unexpectedly, the aristocratic family of the nine-legged worm, actually kept a low profile and kept a secret, offering his daughter to alienate the emperor's heart. In the end, it was cast into that night nightmare.

She thought of Lin Yuan's dignified and graceful appearance just now, and a sneer appeared on her lips——

Lin Yuan...you owe me, your parents owe me, the Lin family owes me, there are countless...

You must be careful, take care...wait for me, let you be betrayed by everyone, blamed by thousands of people, embarrassed, rolled into the dust from the beaded curtain of the Jade Seat, and fell into the Senluo Hell...

For now, just wait for me...

"Shangyi, you will find Qingjing!"

The man's voice was playful, gorgeous and evil, but not annoying.

Chen Lu turned around and saluted, "My lord!"

"Doesn't Shangyi also like the noise in the palace?"

Jing Wang's brocade clothes were brilliant, and his face was extremely handsome. He also looked up at the sky and sighed: "There are so many stars tonight!"

"My minister is terrified, it's just that I don't like the fragrance in the palace, so I just came out to take a breath - if I disturb the prince, please forgive me."

Chen Lu returned every drop of water, and she was not a three-year-old child. King Jing followed her out, so she must have something to hide, and she really didn't want to have anything to do with her.

King Jing laughed and said, "It's really frustrating little king, Shang Yi is the person that the emperor loves most - such a beautiful woman is so night, how can it be called the word "disturbing?"

"This place is secluded, the prince should be careful."

She turned around and wanted to go back to the palace, but was stopped by Jing Wang——

"Shangyi, what is your picture?!"

This sound was clear and decisive, and the question came out so quickly that Chen Lu stopped in her tracks. She turned around and said angrily, "Why does the lord think of me like that!"

"Shangyi, I don't mean to belittle it, it's just that all living beings in this world have their own purpose in life - high officials and rich salary, holy favor and love, that's all. And you, what do you want?"

Chen Lu was unmoved, and replied indifferently: "No one else, I only hope that the seas and rivers in the world will be clear, and the sage will live forever."

Such an answer can be said to be flawless, but it is also obvious that she does not take King Jing seriously. She turned to leave, only to hear King Jing chuckle——

"It's too late for you to go back to the emperor's side!"

With a light sentence, like thunder on the ground, Chen Lu's eyes were cold, with a faint anger of ice and snow: "What did you do?!"

King Jing shrugged gracefully, and became more cynical: "Why do I need to do anything, naturally some people can't wait!"

Chen Lu stopped talking to him, turned around and walked away.

In the main hall, Yuan Qi was still chatting with the concubine, his expression was normal, it didn't seem like anything had happened, Chen Lu felt at ease, and was about to approach, but passed by an elderly steward——

"Wait! What's in your hand?"

She stopped the other party, ignored the terrified expression of the Pentecostal woman, took the empty bowl, looked at it carefully and sniffed it.

"Yes... it is the ginseng soup that the queen mother rewarded the emperor and queen..."

There is no strange smell... Chen Lu is still worried, she touches it lightly with her little finger and the tip of her tongue, and her complexion immediately changes——

She turned around to grab the woman, but she changed her panic and staggered into the crowd.

It's useless to catch her!
At this time, it was past half of the night, and everyone in the hall felt a little tired. After a short break from singing and dancing, Yuan Qi stood up with the queen on his arm and set off for Zhaoyang Palace.

He must be stopped!
Only this thought flashed through Chen Lu's mind——
