Chapter 139 Are you honest?Give you
"No need, Chen Qie can come down and go by himself." Shen Guiyan blushed, and said softly: "Recently, I have gained a lot of weight."

Gu Chaobei chuckled, there were still ministers scattered behind, too intimate is not good, so he complied and put her down.

As soon as Shen Guiyan stood firm, someone followed behind.

"Your Majesty." With tears in her eyes, Shen Hanlu asked cautiously: "Is there anything wrong with what I wrote?"

It was a bit of a fluke at first, and if it really shines, it would be nice to ask for a reward, but the result was still wrong.She didn't understand why those heroines in the novel could get a lot of praise for writing two poems at will, and the words she wrote were also good, so why didn't there be any response at all.

Tonight Shen Hanlu prepared the dance, guessed the riddle and wrote the lyrics.She has already done all the things that time-traveling girls can do, and the result is so much worse. There is some dissatisfaction in her heart, and she finally sees clearly that using modern tricks here will not work at all.

So hurry up and admit your mistake, maybe there is a turning point.

"What did Concubine Shen write?" Shen Guiyan was at a loss.

Gu Chaobei stretched out his hand to show her the paper in his sleeve, and said indifferently: "Your words are not suitable, and the words are also a bit weird so that people can't understand them. For the state banquet in the next two days, you should be quiet, don't be like today. It’s good to be ostentatious like this.”

Shen Hanlu nodded hastily, her attitude was too good to be blamed.When she reached out to take back the paper in Shen Guiyan's hand, Xu Mengdie who was next to her came over.

"Greetings to the Emperor, Concubine Yan, and Concubine Shen." Xu Mengdie smiled gently, his eyes fell on the paper in Shen Guiyan's hand, and said softly: "Long time no see, Your Majesty is even more beautiful than before."

Seeing that it was Xu Mengdie, Shen Guiyan smiled: "Madam Gu Er Shao."

They used to be a family, and Gu Chaobei and Shen Guiyan obviously liked Xu Mengdie more than Shen Hanlu.Gu Chaobei waved his hand and said, "Concubine Shen, go back first."

Shen Hanlu opened her mouth, wanting to get back the words she wrote.But after thinking about it, it wasn't very important, so he bowed and withdrew after closing his hand.

Xu Mengdie looked at the emperor with a smile: "Did Mengdie not bother you?"

Gu Chaobei shook his head, Gu Chaonan had a good relationship with him, and he also respected Mengdie's little second sister-in-law in his heart, so naturally he would not feel disturbed: "If you have something to say, then I will go back to the palace first."

"Congratulations to the emperor."

Shen Guiyan saluted, then looked up, fortunately, tonight Gu Chaobei finally walked in the direction of Yonghuai Palace.

"Your Majesty is smiling so happily, there must be something good about it?" Xu Mengdie supported Shen Guiyan and asked with a smile.

Shen Guiyan came back to her senses, pursed her lips and said, "It's nothing, how are you and Second Young Master Gu?"

Xu Mengdie nodded: "Your Majesty loves you so much, your husband has already been promoted to the deputy general of the Southern Camp, and if you make military exploits in the future, Mengdie will be guaranteed for life."

"That's good." Shen Guiyan folded the paper in her hand, and just about to put it in her sleeve, Xu Mengdie took it over: "Is this something written by Concubine Shen just now?"

"Well, in fact, the two sentences before and after have a good momentum, but this word..." Shen Guiyan paused, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid she is the only one in the world who can write it."

Xu Mengdie smiled and said: "Since it is useless, why not give it to my concubine, maybe it will be useful in the future."

What is the use of a piece of waste paper?Shen Guiyan just wanted to ask, but Xu Mengdie changed the subject again: "There are many people in the palace, the empress should be more careful, this belly is the most precious, and it is also the most target. Tomorrow's state banquet, it is best not to come if the empress can't come gone."

Another piece of advice, Shen Guiyan wondered if Xu Mengdie could tell fortunes, and every reminder to her would definitely come true.Now that she said that, Shen Guiyan listened to it, nodded and said: "Okay."

Xu Mengdie put the paper into his sleeve, and sent Shen Guiyan all the way to the gate of the harem, then turned around and turned back.Bao Shan then came up to support her, turned her head to watch Xu Mengdie go away, and said, "Madam, do you think that Mrs. Gu Er Shao is so calm and composed that she doesn't look like a person in the world?"

"How to say?" Shen Guiyan yawned.

"My servant always thinks that she knows everything, and she doesn't seem to be in a hurry." Baoshan frowned: "Maybe this is probably because I think too much."

Bao Shan didn't think much of it, and Shen Guiyan also felt the same way. Xu Mengdie was like a fairy, with an elegant temperament and a calm demeanor.At a critical moment, he saved her more than once.

With a thought in mind, Shen Guiyan asked Baoshan: "What was the relationship between the second young lady and the second young master in the mansion before?"

Baoshan, who has heard such things from all directions, understands the most, and immediately replied: "Excellent, I heard that the second young master Gu has not been in the main room because he is afraid that someone will bully Aunt Xu. Then Aunt Xu is not from a high family background and has a delicate mind. Madam Liu also has a good opinion of her, as long as she gives birth to an heir, she will be able to straighten her up."

Gu Chaonan likes Xu Mengdie very much, otherwise he would not allow Xu Mengdie to conceive his eldest son in the prime minister's mansion who cares so much about blood relationship.

Shen Guiyan nodded, because she was careful, Xu Mengdie had been helping her all the time, so he would never be the one who wanted to harm her.

Going back to Yonghuai Palace, Gu Chaobei was still reading the brochure at the table, and when he saw her come in, his expression became more serious.

The previous cold war between the two seems to have dissipated in this state banquet, but Gu Chaobei is not reconciled, Yan'er seems to be fine, why is he suffering for so many days?

"Your Majesty?" Shen Guiyan was sleepy and called him softly.

Gu Chaobei said solemnly: "You should rest first, I will go out for a walk after reading the scriptures."

Shen Guiyan paused, recalling Baoshan's words, sighed inwardly, sat beside him and said: "Isn't the emperor going out for a few days enough?"

Gu Chaobei was overjoyed, and couldn't help but glance at Shen Guiyan, did you get the hang of it?Finally got the hang of it?
"You want me to stay?"

Shen Guiyan nodded: "There is no one in the Six Palaces who doesn't want the emperor to stay by his side, and his concubines are no exception."

"Then why didn't you say it last time?" Gu Chaobei put down the notebook and said dissatisfiedly: "You don't seem to respond to anyone I favor. Husband and wife should be honest. I told you this a long time ago."

He also blamed her for being too calm a long time ago, and now she is making the same mistake, she is really stupid.

Shen Guiyan lowered her eyes and said, "The emperor really likes his concubines to be honest?"

"Yes." Gu Chaobei nodded.

"The concubine understands." Shen Guiyan took a deep breath, looked up at the emperor and said, "The concubine just said it bluntly, the concubine doesn't like so many women in the emperor's harem, and also dislikes the emperor's treatment of each of them. As gentle as Yan'er. On the surface, the concubine seems to have nothing wrong with her, but every time she hears that the emperor is going to spoil other people, the concubine's heart is as uncomfortable as ants crawling all over and biting each bite."

Gu Chaobei was dumbfounded.

"The emperor knew Shen Hanlu's identity, why did he keep her in the palace? Knowing that Concubine Hua really loves you, why did he still treat them so well? Why did he still use childish methods when he knew that his concubine had His Majesty in his heart? Come to test? The emperor said that he would protect his concubine for the rest of his life, but the one who hurt his concubine is the emperor himself, so what should I do?"

"The human heart is made of flesh. No one likes to share a husband with others. The concubines know that they have no choice, and they can't cry and make a scene. They can only bear it. The emperor keeps saying that he likes Yan'er, so why doesn't he understand that Yan'er is here?" What are you thinking?"

After speaking in one breath without panting, Shen Guiyan looked at the foolish emperor in front of her, and smiled slightly: "The emperor blames Yan'er for not being honest, so if Yan'er is honest, will the emperor accept it?"

Gu Chaobei's temperament is like this, just like the blue-eyed beauty at the state banquet today, who wanted to look at the face before seeing it, but dismissed it after seeing the face.

She knew him, knew him somehow, so she didn't see any benefit in being honest.

Gu Chaobei came back to his senses, and smiled lowly: "It turns out that Yan'er's resentment is so great."

"That's right." Shen Guiyan said: "I used to be a dissatisfied woman in the boudoir, but now I am a dissatisfied woman in the palace. No one likes a face of a dissatisfied woman, so the concubine hides it very well."

All these were accusations against him, and he really couldn't accept it for a while, and couldn't answer her.Shen Hanlu?Where should she be sent if she is not left in the palace?It was the concubine conferred by the Empress Dowager Wen, and there must be a reason for it to be abolished, but there is no reason now.Concubine Hua and Concubine Xi must be because Yan'er thinks too much, they are not people who have unreasonable thoughts.

As for why he tried so naively... who is naive!He's just...he's just not sure about her intentions, there are so many people staring at her, he's just afraid that she won't have him in her heart, and he just wants to stimulate her, who knows that it will hurt people... Yan'er obviously looks fine.

With a light cough, Gu Chaobei pulled Shen Guiyan over, and said in a low voice: "It's my fault, I admit my mistake, and I'll copy 'Kissing your wife is the most beautiful' a hundred times tomorrow, okay?"

Shen Guiyan shook her head: "No need, the emperor only needs to know what the concubine thinks in his heart."

The emperor looked at her flatteringly: "But, after hearing what you said, I won't dare to go to other palaces in the future."

Look, he is the one who wants to listen to what is in his heart, and he is the one who wants to step down.Shen Guiyan turned her head away, and said gently: "The emperor has his own considerations, but it's okay to go, my concubine understands the emperor's painstaking efforts."

Gu Chaobei scratched his head, a little at a loss.Shen Guiyan had already stood up and walked towards the bed: "Rest, Your Majesty."

"okay."

Shen Guiyan closed her eyes and had a good dream. In the dream, there were beautiful mountains and clear waters. There was a bamboo house by the lake, and there was only a pair of figures inside.

Gu Chaobei, however, hadn't fallen asleep for a long time, and didn't dare to turn it over, just stared at the top of the tent in a daze.

At daybreak, the emperor had already gone to court, and just as Bao Shan got up to serve Shen Guiyan, someone outside shouted into Yonghuai Palace: "I want to see the imperial concubine!"

Early in the morning, the concubine Xi was very angry, her hair was messed up, and her clothes were not properly dressed.Behind her, Concubine Hua also came frowning.
