Chapter 135 It's so awkward

The purpose of Fanbang's coming to the DPRK is actually very simple: to pay tribute, to flatter, and to promote the harmonious development of the relationship between the two countries.If it is a prince who comes, then try hard to hook up a princess to go back.

And what the imperial court has to do is also very simple: earn face, earn face, earn face.Do everything possible to establish the majesty of a great country and deter foreigners.

Concubine Hua is sensible, since she was born in Zuihuayin, she can completely put down her face and present a song.So she prepared a song, which happened to be for Gu Chaobei to listen to.

The people trained by Gu Chaobei himself naturally knew how to deal with it, so they immediately responded: "I will go to your palace tomorrow."

Concubine Hua was overjoyed, saluted respectfully, and walked away step by step.

Shen Guiyan heard Gu Chaobei's voice, and was about to show off to him with her oversized belly, but she stepped through the door and said, "I just made an appointment with Concubine Hua, tomorrow I will go to her to listen song."

Slightly taken aback, Shen Guiyan pulled the quilt to cover her stomach again, nodded and said, "Okay."

Gu Chaobei sat on the edge of the bed and looked closely at her face.

Shen Guiyan looked back at him calmly.

Not angry, not jealous, the lake in her eyes glowed calmly, without any waves.

Gu Chaobei chuckled lightly: "My concubine is still the same as before, which annoys me so much."

Shen Guiyan nodded and said: "The emperor is the same as before, no one has changed."

After so much sweet talk, she can still be as gentle as others when she turns her head.Shen Guiyan sighed softly, such a person would hurt people's hearts the most.

Gu Chaobei snorted, turned around and sat by the bed, not knowing who he was angry with.Shen Guiyan didn't speak, just touched her stomach in a daze, the two sides were in a stalemate for a while, then Gu Chaobei got up and left.

Shen Guiyan lowered her eyes and smiled lightly. It is wrong to do anything, and it is wrong not to do anything, but what can I do?Mo Naihe.

"Master." Bao Shan leaned over, frowned and said, "It's different now, he is the emperor now, so don't be as stubborn as before, just follow him more."

"Isn't it enough for me to follow him?" Shen Guiyan looked at Baoshan suspiciously: "Whom does he want to spoil, I never stop him, so what should I do?"

Baoshan sighed: "Master, you don't understand. Men, sometimes they just like to see their own women jealous. You are too calm. Of course, the emperor is not happy."

"He will be happy if I'm jealous?" Shen Guiyan smiled wryly: "Is this caused by a man's curiosity? I've never seen a woman's crazy side, and I'm trying to see it. I'm afraid that one day he will see it again don't like me anymore."

"How could it be?" Bao Fan pouted, "Master is so nice, how could the Emperor not like it?"

"You don't understand." Shen Guiyan closed her eyes: "Women who fall in love with someone are half crazy. Some people hide well, but only go crazy behind others. Some people can't hide, and go crazy in front of others , will probably scare away the lover."

Bao Shan really didn't understand, she could see clearly just now, the emperor just wanted to see his master's unhappy expression, but he got annoyed when he didn't see it.How could someone as smart as Master not know?

Gu Chaobei came out in a rage, and found out on the road that Yonghuai Palace was his palace, why did he come out?
He stretched out his foot and kicked the stone lion next to the palace road, while kicking, he thought: "What a fart, what a fart! Even if I feel lost for a moment, I won't be able to say it right away, I will die if I say it!"

"Your Majesty?" Concubine Jiang happened to be passing by, and seeing Gu Chaobei kicking the stone lion convulsively from a distance, she couldn't help shouting.

Gu Chaobei's body froze, and when he turned around, with a calm expression and a smile, he flicked his clothes in a suave manner, as if nothing had happened just now: "Why are you here?"

Concubine Jiang came over suspiciously and said, "I am going to Yonghuai Palace to pay my respects to the imperial concubine."

"Really, just right." Gu Chaobei coughed softly: "No need to go, I'm going to sit with you."

Concubine Jiang was overjoyed, she didn't expect to be able to pick up an emperor when she just walked around, so she would come and walk every day from now on, wouldn't it be fine?
"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor only brought Zhuiyun with him, and Concubine Jiang followed only a court lady, and the two of them walked in front, and the entourage was far apart.

After walking for a while, Gu Chaobei couldn't help looking sideways at Jiang Bin and asked, "You've been by my side for a long time, if one day I don't dote on you and only dote on other people, how would you feel?"

Concubine Jiang was taken aback, and smiled wryly, isn't that the case now?What if.But when the emperor asked, he naturally had to answer honestly: "The concubine will be sad, but you can't force it."

Gu Chaobei frowned: "Let me see if you are sad?"

Concubine Jiang: "..."

Looking up at the emperor, Jiang's eyes were full of misery and turned red.Gu Chaobei looked at it, but frowned even tighter, and murmured: "That's right."

Shen Guiyan's eyes are not sad eyes at all!

Seeing the emperor's appearance, Concubine Jiang knew that it must have something to do with Concubine Yan Gui, but she didn't intend to ask, for fear of saying something wrong, the emperor turned around and went to Yonghuai Palace.

In the harem, who doesn't want the emperor's favor.

Shen Guiyan lived safely in Yonghuai Palace, and only went to discuss with the Empress Dowager Nian about the preparations for the state banquet when she was in peace, and then returned to the palace at night, had meals alone, and went to bed alone.

Gu Chaobei didn't come back, just like he was angry with her before, he refused to compromise at all, went to Hehuan Palace today and Feiyan Palace tomorrow.

He has his duties as an emperor, and he has his own things to do. Shen Guiyan never expected that he would only look at her alone.

But still a little uncomfortable.

Concubine Hua's face was radiant when she came to pay her respects, and she smiled and said how the emperor was doing in Huaqing Palace.Concubine Xi can also say a few words, because the emperor also went to see her.

Even Fu Guiren raised his chin a lot, swept the Yonghuai Palace and said softly: "When I came to pay my respects, I pointed out that I could see the emperor, but now I can no longer meet him here."

Baoshan was slightly annoyed, but Shen Guiyan smiled and said: "The emperor's favor to the Sixth Palace is a good thing."

good thing?When Gu Chaobei heard these two words from Zhuiyun, he was so angry that he blurted out a memorial.

He has been tossing around for so many days, but he didn't want to hear these two words.What's the matter?Is it a good thing she can't see him?Is it a good thing that she kicked the quilt in the middle of the night and no one covered her?When he was in someone else's palace, no one dared to wake him up, so it was a good thing that he was late two or three times?

What a damn thing!
Zhuiyun said helplessly, "Isn't your majesty going back to Yonghuai Palace tonight?"

"No! Whoever wants to go back will come back!" Gu Chaobei snorted coldly: "Go to Concubine Hua's place to listen to the music at night."

"Yes, then this subordinate will go and tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

The emperor didn't like to bring eunuchs by his side, poor Zhuiyun, an iron-blooded man, could only help with these things.

Seeing that Zhuiyun was about to step out the door, the emperor quickly shouted: "Wait!"

After a pause, Zhuiyun took two steps back: "Has the emperor changed his mind?"

"No." Gu Chaobei said with a dark face: "You tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs that the system of flipping cards will be resumed immediately, and whoever flips the card will go to the palace."

Huaqing Palace is too warm, Hehuan Palace is too cool, Feiyan Palace is not fragrant, and Fuyin Palace is not beautiful.He didn't like any of these palaces in the harem, but if he wanted to go back to Yonghuai Palace like this, the emperor would not be ashamed.

So it's better to turn over the cards, and go if it turns over, he can also look a little helpless.

Zhuiyun didn't expose his master, so he nodded and went.

As a result, the sign was brought up, and the first one was turned, Concubine Hua.

"My hand is slippery, try again." Gu Chaobei looked calm.

The eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand.

The second one is Fu Guiren.

The emperor snorted coldly and buckled it back.

The third concubine Qing and the fourth concubine Jiang looked over the signboard from beginning to end.

There is no Shen Guiyan.

The emperor's face was ugly, he stared at the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he was sweating coldly: "Your Majesty?"

"It's okay, I'd better go to Concubine Hua's Palace." Gu Chaobei turned his head away.

Zhuiyun stood by and watched, it was rare for him to have bad thoughts, he knew what the emperor was thinking, but he didn't tell the eunuch.People are uncomfortable, and they can't come back even if they are twisted, so there is nothing to say, and you have to suffer if you feel uncomfortable.

Fanbang's people had already entered the capital, and Shen Guiyan, wearing the palace attire given by the Queen Mother, began busy making arrangements.

"I heard that you were left out by the emperor's brother." Princess Duanwen hopped up and down beside her, and asked softly.

Shen Guiyan didn't raise her head: "The emperor is teaching me the rules."

"What rules?" Duanwen was curious.

"It's the rule that if you don't behave to satisfy the emperor, you will be left cold." Shen Guiyan looked up at Duanwen: "It's too overbearing."

Duanwen laughed: "I thought you would be sad, but it looks like you are in good spirits. During the three days of the state banquet, the gate control in the palace is not so strict. Is there anyone you want to see? This palace can bring it for you."

Who do you want to meet?Shen Guiyan thought about it carefully, and asked, "How is the Shen family doing now?"

Duan Wen said: "You don't have to worry about that, you are a noble concubine, the emperor did not treat the Shen family badly, your father has moved to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and you have a younger brother, who is said to be participating scientific research."

younger brother?Shen Guiyan frowned, Duanwen should be referring to Shen Guiwen, who should only be ten years old this year, taking part in some scientific examination, just kidding around.

She still remembered that when Shen Guiya repeatedly bullied her, Shen Guiwen stood beside her. Although he didn't help, he didn't stop him. His little eyes were calm, and he watched quietly.

That child may be precocious, but he is not with her.

"Is there anyone else you want to see?" Duan Wen asked.

Shen Guiyan shook her head: "All the people I care about are already in the palace."

Duanwen raised his eyebrows, nodded and said nothing.

She heard a lot of gossip in the past two days, and she didn't know where it came from, but it was all about Concubine Yan Gui's old affairs.

One said that she had grievances with the Shen family, and the other said that she had a relationship with the original young master of the Gu family, and it was said vividly.She was not in the capital before, so naturally she didn't know much about it.But looking at Shen Guiyan's calm face, Duanwen still decided to believe her.

It's just that she had better find out the source of the harem's right and wrong, so as not to spread it into the ears of the emperor.
