Emperor's Lazy Queen

Chapter 67

"Well, let's go! Let's eat, I'm really hungry!" Du Xiaoyue wanted to leave this delicate atmosphere, she took a step back with a smile, then turned around and walked out quickly, but after two steps , Du Xiaoyue turned around again, and said seriously, "By the way, even if you distracted my attention with delicious food and changed the topic, I still want to ask the bottom line!"

Call!She is really a persistent person! "Another day! I have something to do tonight!" The imperial decree has already gone down, and it has been a long time since I have been to Yachun Pavilion.No matter how much you like a woman, you can't break the rules in the harem.

"Heh!" Du Xiaoyue was taken aback for a moment, the news she had inquired about in Qianqing Palace flashed through her mind, she sneered, emperors are indeed lustful! "Then the concubine will not bother the emperor's time, the emperor should go and busy with your affairs." As soon as the words were spoken, Du Xiaoyue was slightly annoyed, why did these words sound a bit sour!Alas, forget it, when you are in a bad mood, the tone you speak with is not right.Without taking a second look at Tan Wenhao, he turned around and left, heading straight to the side hall - the specifications of the emperor's imperial meals are different from those of the concubines, there are so many delicious things!And when you are in a bad mood, eating more is also a way to vent!
After dinner, Du Xiaoyue followed her old habit, leaned on the couch, picked up Fengyue novels and began to lose herself.With red silk and green bamboo as attendants, Xiu'er was cutting candles, and there was no previous jokes in the silent atmosphere.It wasn't until Hongsi saw Du Xiaoyue staring at a page of a book for nearly a quarter of an hour that she carefully asked, "Miss, do you want to go to bed early tonight?"

"Okay!" Du Xiaoyue put down the book, looked straight at Qingzhu, took a breath, and said slowly, "Qingzhu, it's really hard work for you to help me buy books these few months! Yan, you have to run back and forth for an hour, and you have to help me choose these books, it's hard for you!"

"No! The lady is so kind to Qingzhu, Qingzhu should do this little favor for the lady!" It was rare, Qingzhu also softened her voice, not as clear as before, and stood quietly beside Du Xiaoyue.

"Hehe!" Du Xiaoyue smiled softly, "I really want to thank you, otherwise I really don't know what to use to pass the time in this palace! But every time I let you go out of the palace to run errands, I feel a little sorry, so , let Xiu’er go next time you go out of the palace! You tell Xiu’er the address of the study, and give Xiu’er the sign for going out of the palace too!” Since Tan Wenhao said that Zhaoyang Palace’s eyeliner is not aimed at him, then The people targeted might be green bamboo and red silk—the green bamboo and red silk were sent to him by Du Kangyong!When I first came into contact with them, I did have some defenses against them; after getting along for a while, I felt that they were also very good to me, and I was a useless pawn, so I didn't have any defense against them.Besides, Du Xiaoyue believes that she has always had a good eye for seeing people. Qingzhu has a brighter temperament and is the kind of person who speaks directly; She is a simple person, looking at her is like looking at the sister next door.Therefore, no matter what, Du Xiaoyue would never believe that Red Silk and Green Bamboo were the people she wanted to guard against.

"Ah?" Qing Zhu was slightly taken aback, and asked in puzzlement, "Miss, why? Could it be that the books Qing Zhu bought are not good-looking?"

"No!" Du Xiaoyue didn't want to tell them about being targeted, so she just smiled slightly, "Xiu'er hasn't been out of the palace for a long time, let her go out to see the prosperity of the capital. If possible, I also want to go out of the palace Just look!"

"After talking for a long time, the one who wants to go out of the palace the most is Miss!" Hongsi suggested thoughtfully, "Miss, why don't you go back to the palace after resting outside the palace for a while before sending the second lady to the funeral? "

"No need." Du Xiaoyue refused without thinking, "Although the harem is supported by me now, I have no right to favoritism—I don't want to be relegated to the cold palace before the truth about my mother is revealed."

"Miss, do you really think that the second lady was... killed by someone?" Qingzhu asked softly, with a bit of exploration and worry.

"Did I say that?" Du Xiaoyue squinted and asked with a half-smile.

"Miss, when she was in the Du Mansion today, she clearly didn't believe what the master said, otherwise you wouldn't have let Imperial Physician Fei go to the Du Mansion!" Hongsi analyzed from the side, "Speaking of Imperial Physician Fei, Miss? Are you Why do you think you want the imperial physician to come to Du's residence? Did you suspect the cause of the second lady's death from the beginning to the end?"

"Oh! I just want to know if mother is safe!" Du Xiaoyue chuckled, stood up, walked towards the bed, and said, "Don't guess, nothing happened. I'm going to rest, you put the lights on Destroy it, not a single one will remain!"

"Yes!" When Du Xiaoyue walked and talked, just when she didn't want to say anything more, Qingzhu and Hongsi also understood, and lightly extinguished all the candles in the room, and the whole room was instantly darkened , slowly exited the room.

The night was quiet until dawn, but at dawn, Zhaoyang Palace ushered in a group of concubines in plain clothes.

"Sisters pay their respects to elder sister!" In the main hall, Du Xiaoyue sat upright on it, while the other concubines saluted Fu respectfully.

"Oh, sisters, please sit down!" Du Xiaoyue didn't know what play these concubines were going to sing again, so she had no choice but to adapt to all changes. Come up, "My sister came here early in the morning, she must be tired from walking, let's have a sip of tea first to quench my thirst!"

The concubines no longer made a fuss about Du Xiaoyue using this high-quality tea to quench their thirst. They all followed Du Xiaoyue's 'instructions' and slowly tasted the tea - just because Du Xiaoyue drank tea very slowly. A cup of tea can last half an hour.After Du Xiaoyue put down the tea, the concubines headed by Li Qianrou spoke slowly, a little low, and even with a bit of sympathy and sadness: "Earlier this morning, I heard that my sister's mother passed away a few days ago. After speaking, I was very sad. At the same time, I was worried that my sister would be sad and depressed because of this incident, so I came here to see my sister. Speaking of which, my sister really shouldn't have had a birthday party yesterday. Let my sister... ...It's no wonder my sister's complexion turned bad yesterday."

Ah!Listening to what she said, she blamed herself yesterday! "Thank you for my sister's concern." Du Xiaoyue replied indifferently, "I was disappointed by not being able to attend my sister's birthday banquet yesterday. I wonder if the sisters had fun afterwards?"

"My sister left for a while, and the emperor also left." Zhang Xueman muttered, "Later, I heard that my sister went back to the Du Mansion for the funeral. After hearing this, everyone felt that there should be no more banquets. Just for a while, everyone scattered."

No wonder Li Qianrou wanted to blame herself!well!It seems that this carelessness really offended this imperial concubine! "It's really disappointing my sisters. In fact, there is no need for my sisters to break up because of me!" Du Xiaoyue sighed lightly, and at the same time, there was a three-pointed weeping expression on her face, "If mother knows that it is because of her that she let my sister If you are not happy, I am afraid that your mother's spirit in heaven will be uneasy!" Humph!Give you a big hat, let's see if you still dare to complain!
After saying a word, the faces of all the concubines were a little uncomfortable, and they all said some comforting words to Du Xiaoyue one after another. Du Xiaoyue didn't listen to her heart, and raised her eyes slightly to meet Liu Mengnan. She just pursed her lips slightly, secretly He gave Du Xiaoyue a thumbs up, but didn't say much.

Seeing that Du Xiaoyue was just lazily coping with what Du Xiaoyue said to everyone, the other concubines didn't think it meant much. They all left after less than a cup of tea, leaving only Liu Mengnan in the end.

"Thank you very much yesterday." Du Xiaoyue was a little embarrassed, and she dragged him to drink, but she fell to the ground after three drinks. It seems that although the Jianghu heroine is bold, she can drink too much. really bad! "You...you don't feel uncomfortable today, do you?"

"I slept until dawn, and I woke up very energetic this morning!" Liu Mengnan smiled indifferently, "Did sister sleep well last night? When I woke up this morning, I heard that the emperor sent my sister back yesterday. .”

Oh, how did you forget this?No wonder the concubines in the harem gathered together this morning. It turned out that they were not just here to express their sympathy, but more to test their opinions and make some bitter remarks.In the end, I was dismissed by myself with a cup of tea.

"Ha, it seems so! I can't remember clearly either." Du Xiaoyue replied ambiguously, "Anyway, after I woke up, I was already in Zhaoyang Palace. As for the emperor...he seems to have never been to Zhaoyang Palace, right?" !" Tan Wenhao sent him drunk to Zhaoyang Palace even though he was beaten to death—although everyone in the palace knew about it, as long as the person involved didn't admit it, what's the use of other people's gossip?
"cough!"

"cough!"

Several coughs sounded at the same time, Du Xiaoyue squinted at the attendants of Hongsi, Qingzhu and other palace attendants, and asked with raised eyebrows: "Looks like the weather was a bit cold last night, the palace people in Zhaoyang Palace caught cold, After a while, those who have coughed just now will show to the Imperial Palace Hospital, take two pastes of medicine, and watch you drink the decoction today! Otherwise, if it spreads, some people may say that I am not considerate of the palace people, and the palace people live I don’t let people drink medicine when I’m sick!” The more you live, the more daring you are, and you dare to break my platform in public, so that you all will suffer a little bit! "Let's all step back, Ben Gong and Concubine Liu Gui will talk for a while."

After the palace servants withdrew, Du Xiaoyue said in a serious voice: "Mengnan, can you tell me about the relationship between you and my third brother? I heard you say Axuan yesterday. If I guessed right, what did you say?" My Ah Xuan should be Du Zhengxuan!"

Liu Mengnan was stunned, did he say this sentence yesterday?Wei Wei smiled unnaturally: "How could the queen say such a thing?"
