Emperor's Lazy Queen

Chapter 62

"Sister Queen, you are here!" Originally, Tong Ruyan was chatting with other concubines and directing the actions of the entire palace staff. At first glance, seeing Du Xiaoyue sitting upright, she looked at the other concubines with a smile that was not a smile. People are busy, a little surprised: isn't she under house arrest?How would it appear here?Yesterday the emperor uploaded a decree to let me preside over and manage all the affairs of today. Even if she came now, I would not give her the rights I already have!

"As the mother of a country, I can't come here?" Du Xiaoyue's face remained unchanged, and even put on a small smile at the corner of her mouth, "It seems that the protagonist of today's banquet is not your sister!"

"You... of course the queen sister can come!" Tong Ruyan moved her lips a few times, and finally revealed these words from between her lips, her smiling face was like a flower, but there were layers of mist, which was very unreal, "Sister Did you sleep well last night?"

"Okay! A night without dreams, very peaceful!" Without the slightest hesitation, Du Xiaoyue took the herbal tea handed by the red silk, "Thank you for your concern. If my sister didn't sleep well last night due to excitement, I can suggest to the emperor. Let Yulin Qier guard the little sister's bedroom."

The smile on Tong Ruyan's face couldn't hold back, it turned out that Du Xiaoyue still had such eloquent teeth!I heard that she had a quarrel with the emperor yesterday, although I don't know the reason, but the emperor put her under house arrest for protecting the empress, and left her to do today's affairs, which means that she will not show up today Here, unexpectedly, she is still here!It seems that the emperor has a different kind of connivance towards her! "My younger sister can't bear that kind of treatment, I'd better leave this kind of blessing to my elder sister!" If the emperor knew about that, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as house arrest!

Blessing? !Ah!It is indeed a blessing!Du Xiaoyue sneered, and just when she was about to say something, a deacon and eunuch came to report: "To the Empress, the banquet is ready, but the emerald jade cup that was originally prepared is missing one, please invite the empress..."

"Pause!" Du Xiaoyue interrupted the eunuch with a chuckle, ignoring the ugly expression on Tong Ruyan's face. She picked up the teacup in her hand and brought it to her mouth slowly, but stopped again, faintly He glanced at the eunuch anxiously, "You should report this to Concubine Tong Guifei—today's banquet is not under the control of my palace." Heh, I thought today would be a busy day, but unexpectedly, someone was willing to accept it. Get off this shitty errand.

"Slave..." The eunuch looked up weakly at the empress, and saw that she was drinking tea slowly, very leisurely, as if this matter had nothing to do with her, then turned her head and looked expectantly. Taking a look at Concubine Tong Guifei, Concubine Tong Guifei's complexion was a bit unwell, it was red, probably because she came here early this morning to bask in the sun!But Concubine Tong's eyes were staring at him with fire, the eunuch was startled, turned his body to her and knelt down tremblingly, "I ask the concubine to make a decision."

"The empress is here, please let the empress decide, the empress is the rightful master of this harem!" Tong Ruyan also followed Du Xiaoyue's example, turned around and sat down at her seat, and took the hand from the maid. tea, drinking it slowly.

Ah!I wanted to play soccer!Du Xiaoyue smiled slightly, but it made the red silk beside her tremble in her heart. She subconsciously grabbed Qingzhu's hand and muttered in a low voice: "Qingzhu, Miss...Miss's smile is so scary!"

"Why? I look normal!" Qingzhu glanced at Du Xiaoyue again, "However, miss is so strange today, she keeps smiling like she usually sees concubines, like the second lady It really doesn't affect her at all!"

"Uh...you're really right!" Hongsi agreed with Qingzhu's words, "Is Miss really cold-tempered? Or is she crying and laughing?"

Du Xiaoyue, who was drinking tea slowly, listened to the murmurs of the two girls behind her completely, raised her eyebrows slightly, put the cup in her hand heavily on the table, and said calmly: "The red silk, green bamboo You talk too much!" Du Xiaoyue can now be sure that the other concubines in the palace must not know what happened to the Du Mansion, if they know about their own mother, I am afraid that Tong Ruyan will not just laugh Just say 'you are under house arrest' and let it be done!
"Please empress..." The eunuch was taken aback by Du Xiaoyue's action of putting the cup. He had heard for a long time that this empress had a good temper. Look at the face, but today's Empress, although she speaks very kindly and doesn't show her face to others, her calm tone when she speaks, coupled with her gesture of throwing the cup, that kind of non-angry and majestic aura , no matter how courageous he was, he was almost scared to death.

"Didn't the emperor have an order? Today's affairs are in charge of the imperial concubine Tong Guifei!" Du Xiaoyue opened her mouth slowly, pouring tea for herself, and her movements were light and slow, "So, you can ask the imperial concubine, if she ignores it, Then she is rebelling against the decree. As for the consequences of disobeying the holy will, I don't need to say more about this, the imperial concubine should also know. Right? Tong Guifei?"

"Bang!" Tong Ruyan slammed the teacup on the table, and it was the same sound that made the whole audience quiet, and turned her gaze to Tong Ruyan at the same time.

"You... come here, take me to see what's going on!" Tong Ruyan stood up with a 'huo', with irrepressible anger in her voice, pointing at the kneeling eunuch.

"Your servant obeys!" The eunuch's face was dripping with sweat, and he bowed and stood up obediently, then turned around obediently, and retreated. Tong Ruyan also stood up and left immediately, but, When leaving, consciously or unconsciously, she gave Du Xiaoyue a bitter look.

As for the other concubines and palace people, they don't understand why Concubine Tong Gui suddenly became so angry. Didn't she just direct the palace people to do things well?Why did you get angry all of a sudden?
Of course, Du Xiaoyue also withdrew that hateful look.Smiling slightly, he took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner, then raised his eyes, smiled at the other concubines and wombs, and said lazily: "Everyone eat and drink and wait for Concubine Li Gui to arrive!"

After saying a word, a few Jieyu couldn't help covering their mouths with their handkerchiefs, while the other palace servants, some pouted, some pursed their lips, and some bit their lips lightly. After a while, they resumed their conversation. .

Du Xiaoyue glanced lightly, and unexpectedly met a pair of eyes, looking at herself with some concern and sympathy.Du Xiaoyue was shocked, she hadn't seen her these few days, but looking into her eyes, it was as if she had seen her somewhere yesterday! "Sister Liu, are you in good health?" Du Xiaoyue put down the cup, got up slowly, walked towards Liu Mengnan, and at the same time looked at Liu Mengnan unobtrusively: the heroic spirit between her brows is still there, her face is also rosy, her eyes are bright, her lips are red and her teeth are white No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like someone who has had a serious illness!
"Thank you sister for your concern!" Liu Mengnan stood up and gave Du Xiaoyue a blessing, "My sister has fully recovered and is fine."

Hearing her voice, Du Xiaoyue was even more puzzled, with a faint sense of familiarity, something popped up in her mind, but unfortunately she couldn't catch it!When she raised her hand, an elegant fragrance emanated, exactly the same as the one she smelled on that person last night.Suddenly, Du Xiaoyue 'accidentally' pushed the hot tea on the table towards Liu Mengnan's body, and at that moment, Liu Mengnan suddenly dodged to avoid the teapot, with a "boom", the teapot It fell on the ground, and the water flowed out along the mouth of the pot, still steaming.

"Sister, are you alright? No injury or burn?" The next second, Du Xiaoyue grabbed Liu Mengnan's hand with a worried face, looked her whole body up and down, and at the same time confirmed her guess. "It's true that I knocked over the hot teapot carelessly. Wouldn't it be a crime if I scalded my sister?"

"I'm fine, sister is worried." Liu Mengnan took a step back, not used to Du Xiaoyue's sudden enthusiasm, and her face was a little uncomfortable. Du Xiaoyue's mood changed too fast today. Everything he does seems unreasonable, yet reasonable.

"It's really all right?" Du Xiaoyue smiled, but it made Liu Mengnan feel a little nervous.Du Xiaoyue ignored Liu Mengnan's subconscious step back, continued to smile, took a step towards Liu Mengnan, held Liu Mengnan's hand tightly, parted her red lips, and lowered her voice, "That's right, you can come and go freely in the palace in the dark Martial arts master, what will happen?"

"You...how did you know?" Liu Mengnan also lowered her voice, stared at Du Xiaoyue in disbelief, and asked questioningly.

"Even if a person covers her face, her eyes, her eyes, her body shape, and her smell will not change! I'm not a fool, don't think that a black cloth can cover everything! Especially your voice, you may not know that among the concubines in the harem, I pay attention to you the most, because you are different from those Yingyingyanyans, you, like me, have no interest in everything in the palace, The difference is that you love to be 'sick' when you have nothing to do, but I love to sleep when I have nothing to do!" People of the same kind just know each other but don't know each other.But Du Xiaoyue didn't understand, since Liu Mengnan didn't care about the palace or even the emperor, and she had the ability to sneak out of the palace at any time, why was she willing to stay in the palace?
"Oh! Du Xiaoyue, you really are different from before!" Liu Mengnan murmured, "If you have a chance, please come to Feiyue Pavilion alone. Now is not the time to talk."

"Okay!" Du Xiaoyue nodded, took a step back, like a person who had nothing to do, when she turned around and wanted to return to her seat, the palace people began to shout: "The emperor is here! Concubine Rou is here!"
