Rebirth after waste

Chapter 100

Everyone in the hall knelt down as early as the moment the emperor got angry. Seeing him leave now, Ah Ci and Cai Jia rushed up, eagerly asking, "Your Majesty, what did you say to His Majesty? Why did he make a fuss?" Such a big fire?"

They were far away, and Gu Yunxian and the emperor's voices were low at first, so they couldn't hear what they said clearly.

Gu Yunxian rubbed his sore wrist, but didn't speak.

"Miss, what's going on?" Seeing that she didn't respond, Ah Ci asked again.

Gu Yunxian didn't answer her, but instead looked up at the door, seeing snowflakes flying everywhere, "A Ci, Your Majesty was very angry just now, wasn't he?"

A Ci was almost terrified by her, "Of course I'm angry! Didn't you see His Majesty's face when he left?"

"Yeah. He's angry," she whispered. "He hasn't been angry with me in a long time."

Looking up at the two maids who were staring at her eagerly, she smiled slightly, with a hint of relief in her voice, "That's fine."

That night, the emperor held a small banquet in Yiyuan Hall, and all the concubines were required to attend.Gu Yunxian didn't expect to fall out with him so quickly before, and had already chosen the clothes to wear for the attendance, but now they don't need them anymore.

Thinking about coming to the night banquet tonight, everyone will see that he is not there, and then look at the emperor's attitude, and they will understand that Yuan Chongyi, who is the most favored of the sixth palace, has fallen out of favor.

Both Ah Ci and Cai Jia were disturbed by His Majesty's sudden anger and her refusal to go to the banquet without authorization, but Liu Shanggong's attitude was very calm.

That night, she asked the two worried girls to go to bed, and came to take Gu Yunxian to bed in person.When combing her hair, she said casually: "Did your empress deliberately anger His Majesty away today?"

Gu Yunxian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly, "Is it so obvious?"

Liu Shanggong smiled and said: "It's not very obvious. But because the maidservant is relatively old in the palace, and has been with the empress recently, so she can see it more clearly."

Gu Yunxian said: "Since your lord knows that I did it on purpose, don't you have anything to say?"

Liu Shanggong remained calm: "Before the servant speaks, would you like to tell the servant first, why do you want to do this?"

Gu Yunxian was a little hesitant, wondering if he should continue.However, these things had been accumulated in her heart for too long, and she couldn't help but want to find someone to talk to.

After a moment of silence, she said, "If I say that I don't want to meet with His Majesty often, what would you think, my lord?"

Liu Shanggong's expression remained calm when he heard the words: "Your Majesty is angry with His Majesty?"

Gu Yunxian nodded, but shook his head immediately, "It's not that I'm angry, I just don't want to see him. I know many things are not his business. But anyway, it's because of him. My reason tells Don't blame him for me, but emotionally I still can't pass this test."

She spoke vaguely, but Liu Shanggong watched Gu Yunxian's years of entanglement with the emperor all the way, and he was quite clear about her psychology, and immediately understood the key.

Gu Yunxian had a deep-rooted love for the emperor in the past, but the emperor didn't respond in the slightest. Not only that, but he even fell in love with the Jing family.Now, although she tells herself not to blame, she still has knots in her heart.

She couldn't trust him anymore.

"So, what is your plan?" To Gu Yunxian's surprise, Liu Shanggong did not immediately express disapproval after hearing his thoughts, but asked seriously.

Gu Yunxian pursed her lips, "I think living like Ling Shuyuan would make me feel much more comfortable."

Liu Shanggong frowned and thought about it, then he understood.

Ling Shuyuan occupies a high position, and is highly appreciated by His Majesty because of her talent, appearance and noble character.However, appreciation is appreciation, His Majesty has never loved her very much, and now he visits her about two or three times a month.

Does Gu Yunxian mean to be a concubine who is not so favored but not bullied by others?

In fact, for women in the palace, such a position is the easiest way to survive for a long time.

but……

"In other words, you don't plan to reset?" Liu Shanggong asked slowly.

Gu Yunxian was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he realized that Liu Shanggong was the queen mother's maid, so naturally the queen mother's wishes came first.

Before the Queen Mother left, Liu Shanggong knew how much she had hoped for her. Now that she saw herself like this, would she feel dissatisfied?

However, although she was worried, she still told her the truth, "Yes, I don't want to."

Anyway, I want her to know, it's better to say it sooner rather than later.If she is unwilling to help herself because of this, then it is her fate.

Liu Shanggong was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Sure enough."

Gu Yunxian opened his eyes wide, "My lord... Could it be that this day has been expected for a long time?"

Liu Shanggong smiled faintly, "Your maidservant has already realized that your empress doesn't have much enthusiasm for becoming a queen again. At that time, you only wanted to avenge the queen mother. Later, you didn't even need this matter, and you had no goals at all. gone."

"So, you don't blame me?"

"Everyone has their own aspirations." Liu Shanggong said, "I believe that the Queen Mother is still in the sky, and she also hopes that you will live well. As for Mrs. Gu, with His Majesty around for a day, nothing will happen."

Her eyes were gentle, and she looked at Gu Yunxian with understanding and relief.

Gu Yunxian suddenly remembered that many years ago, when she was a little girl, she went to the palace to meet the queen for the first time.After kowtowing in the hall with everyone, Liu Shanggong suddenly came out from behind, and said with a smile: "The Empress Shicai saw this little lady behind the bead curtain, she felt very kind, and asked her to come in and talk."

She immediately became at a loss, wondering if she should follow.

As if seeing her nervousness, Liu Shanggong bent slightly and smiled, "Miss Gu San, right? Please come with your servant."

At that time, she had the same understanding and relief in her eyes as now.

Let her feel at ease.

Gu Yunxian's eyes were slightly hot, and he grabbed her hand, "For more than two years, Ah Yun has never thanked the adults for your help. Without the adults, Ah Yun's journey would not have been so smooth."

"This is the duty of a servant, so you don't have to worry about it." Liu Shanggong patted her hand and changed the subject naturally, "Since you have no intention of resetting, it is a good choice to follow Ling Shuyuan. But the servant sees that His Majesty is now He has a strong affection for you, how can you make him change his attitude towards you to the way he treats Ling Shuyuan?"

It took Gu Yunxian a little time to calm down before he whispered, "It's for this reason that I made him angry on purpose today. He was only interested in me on the spur of the moment, and now that he has suffered bad luck twice, he probably doesn't like it that much. Me. But you know your Majesty, as long as it doesn’t involve issues of principle, he is the most soft-hearted towards women. Even if he is angry, he will not do anything. After a while, his anger subsides, and I will go again Talk to him and talk softly, and it will be fine. I think that at that time, his inexplicable enthusiasm for me also faded. From now on, as long as I am cautious in my words and deeds, I should be able to get along with him like Ling Shuyuan .”

Liu Shanggong was speechless.

This idea sounds feasible, but has she forgotten one of the most important premise: if the emperor really only favors her on a whim, then he will not be too angry because of her indifference, at most, he can be favored by another person That is.But if the emperor really fell in love with her, things would be different.

Treated like this by someone who is on top of his heart, he should not be so easy to dismiss...

After hesitating for a moment, she finally expressed her worries, "But, what if His Majesty is worried about this matter?"

She was stunned.

There is only one possibility for the emperor, who has always been dispensable to women, to suddenly be worried about a person's indifference.That's what he did to that woman...

"No. It won't." She smiled faintly, "He won't do that."

Gu Yunxian originally thought that the news that he had annoyed the emperor and fell out of favor would spread throughout the hot spring palace on the second day, so he made full preparations in advance to meet the upcoming ridicule and provocation.

After all, it will take some time for the emperor to calm down, and before he calms down, he will be out of favor.During this period, it is most likely to be thrown into trouble by others, and it takes 12 points of energy to do it.

However, to her surprise, Cai Jia went out to inquire around, and everything in the halls was normal, and no one was spreading the news that Yuan Chongyi had fallen out of favor.

Holding a cup of hot tea, she froze there solidly after hearing Cai Jia's reply.

Yu Zhaoyi always likes to organize group activities the most. Last time I came here in autumn to enjoy the chrysanthemums, this time in winter, of course I have to enjoy the plum blossoms.In the afternoon of that day, at the invitation of Yu Zhaoyi, all the concubines went to the Anxiang Garden to explore the plums in the snow.

Gu Yunxian made up his mind to find out the situation, so he arrived at the garden a moment earlier.

After walking in the courtyard for a while, I saw Ling Shuyuan from a distance, beside her was Ming Xiuyi who had not changed for thousands of years.The two were standing under a plum tree, talking in a low voice.

She stepped forward and bowed gracefully, "The concubine sees Empress Shuyuan and Empress Xiuyi."

Ming Xiuyi's pregnancy has just turned five months, and her belly is already obvious.Ling Shuyuan was probably afraid that she would fall, so she kept supporting her with her hand. Seeing Gu Yunxian salute now, she had to spare some energy to entertain, "Please get up, Yuan Chongyi."

After Gu Yunxian got up, he said with a smile, "How is Miss Xiuyi? Is the dragon fetus safe and sound?"

Ming Xiuyi lazily said: "Lao Yuan Chongyi is concerned, everything is fine in this palace." After a pause, there was a trace of sarcasm in his voice, "This palace is not Yuan Chongyi, who suffers from constant pain every three days, so delicate. "

Gu Yunxian frowned.

What does she mean by that?How can I get sick recently?She wanted to find fault with her, so she didn't have to talk about it.

Just as he didn't know how to continue the topic, a human voice came from behind him.Gu Yunxian turned around and saw Zhuang Guiji and Rou Jieyu coming together.

After the two greeted them, Zhuang Guiji smiled and said, "Sister came so early. The concubine is still my sister and won't be here today. I'm planning to enjoy the plum blossoms and fold some good ones and send them to Liuyu Hall!"

Gu Yunxian was really a little confused, "This is the plum appreciation party of Empress Zhaoyi, so I naturally want to come. Why do you think I won't come?"

Zhuang Guiji was taken aback, "The concubine is thinking, since my sister is not feeling well, maybe..."

"Not feeling well?" Gu Yunxian thought for a while, then suddenly understood, "Your Majesty said so?"

Zhuang Guiji said: "That's right. Everyone went to the banquet last night, but my sister was not there. Lady Zhaoyi asked, and His Majesty said, because of your health, you had already asked him for leave in the morning..."
