Chapter 205 The Concubine Is Not as Great as the Empress
Gu Yu followed the palace maids to the Qianqing Gate, which was still a tall and long corridor. When every palace maid saw her, they lowered their heads consciously.
At this time, not far away, stars were waiting for someone like the moon. The maid leading Gu Yu was the aunt Fuling, the steward of the imperial concubine's palace. She reminded in a low voice: "Shizi Gu, is the empress."
Gu Yu frowned slightly. The Tongxin anointing incident had caused a big fuss before. The Holy Emperor had clearly despised the Queen. In just over half a year, had the Queen regained his favor?
Fu Ling said: "Shizi Gu, the Queen is very arrogant now, let's take a detour."
Gu Yu nodded, but as soon as she turned around, a palace maid came from behind and stopped them. She said in an arrogant tone: "Well done, Prince Gu. The Queen has sent a servant to ask why you didn't go to see the Queen's Feng Jia when you met her."
Seeing that it was impossible to hide, Gu Yu had no choice but to go over.
When he arrived in front of the queen, Gu Yu understood the reason why the queen regained her favor.
The queen is pregnant again, and her belly is not small.
The empress who fainted from crying over the death of her nanny in Jingxiu Palace has become a thing of the past. The empress in front of her has not even applied any makeup because of her pregnancy, but her grace and splendor make people dare not look directly at her.
She was sitting in the flowers and basking in the sun. As soon as the palace maid and eunuch were waiting carefully, someone knelt on the ground and pinched her legs with a look. She opened her mouth slightly, and the palace maid gave her a grape, and then brought a good silk for her. Wipe the corners of your mouth.
Gu Yu knelt on the ground and saluted her, saying: "I have met the Queen, may the Queen be blessed and safe."
Queen Xu raised her chin slightly, and a palace maid stretched out her hand to catch the grape seeds she spit out with a silk handkerchief.
Empress Xu said slowly: "Shizi Gu is so arrogant. He doesn't even come to say hello to me when he sees me. What's the point of turning around and leaving?"
Gu Yu said: "I dare not disrespect the Queen. Just as I was about to come over, the Queen's people came to invite her."
Empress Xu only said "quick tongue" without shouting.
The hatred between them was too strong, and this was an expected difficulty. She spoke too much, and it was too much for her to be slapped by the queen, so she knelt silently and stopped defending herself.
It is difficult for the Holy Emperor to have an heir. The Empress’s son is still a legitimate son, so she must pay special attention to it. No one dares to question the Queen’s actions, otherwise no one can afford to alarm the dragon fetus.
The cobblestone road hurt Gu Yu's knees. Gu Yu sighed in her heart. The situation had changed, and now it was the queen's head. She had to bow her head.
It's just that I'll tell my sister later, and I'm afraid she'll feel a little heartbroken.
It has entered autumn in Kyoto, the sun is pale and the cool breeze is blowing, but Gu Yu's figure is still as tall and tall as a bamboo, neither humble nor arrogant.
Empress Xu looked at Gu Yu's face and wished she could eat his flesh and drink his blood. Aunt Xiang's death seemed to be before her eyes, but she had to endure it.
The Xu family was useless, and the Di family was useless. They sent out so many dead soldiers, but they couldn't make Gu Yu and Junze die on the road.
Now that Gu Yu has returned with great achievements in suppressing the rebellion, she can only use this unconventional method to relieve the hatred in her heart.
Just as she was thinking about it, Gu Yu raised her head slightly, and happened to look into her eyes. Her phoenix eyes were exactly the same as those of Concubine Zhao, which made her want to gouge them out with a knife.
She was angry for a moment and said to the palace maid beside her: "It's hot, go and wipe the sweat of Prince Gu."
The weather is hot and Gu Yu is not sweating. The queen is causing trouble for her.
She is a "foreign man", and it is not easy to enter the harem. If the queen's maids really wipe her sweat, it will inevitably cause criticism, even in the eyes of the public.
The maid hesitated for a moment, then picked up the handkerchief and bowed over.
Gu Yu tilted her head slightly and gave Fuling a look. Fuling understood immediately, intercepted the palace maid's movement, knelt down and said: "Gu Shizi is the younger brother of the imperial concubine. He dare not bother the people around the empress with such a trivial matter as wiping sweat."
, slave, come."
Fu Ling was the manager of Jingxiu Palace. She was not young and did not need to be so taboo. She took a handkerchief and wiped the non-existent sweat on Gu Yu's forehead little by little.
Empress Xu said slowly: "It seems that because I am pregnant, Concubine Zhao has temporarily taken charge of the palace affairs. She has cheated and mislead you, and now she doesn't even listen to what I say. That's the case.
, I can only work hard to clean up the mess for the imperial concubine, Sixue, what is the punishment for disobeying the order in the palace?"
Si Xue, who was beside the queen, said: "Return to your Majesty, I will slap you in the face at the least, and put you in the punishment department at the worst."
Queen Xu said: "In that case, then give Zhang Zui twenty."
Fu Ling knelt on the ground and said: "The Queen has made atonement for her sins. I have no disrespect in my mind."
Queen Xu said: "Sixue, what are you still doing?"
Sixue stepped forward and raised her hand to slap Fu Ling.
At this time, an angry shout came from not far away, saying: "Stop!"
Turning around, she saw that it was Concubine Zhao Gui. Sixue was stunned, but she still raised her hand and slapped Fu Ling hard.
Gu Yu heard a crisp sound and subconsciously clenched his hands into fists. In a blink of an eye, Fu Ling's face suddenly swelled up.
This slap not only hit Poria, but also Ajie’s face.
Concubine Zhao rushed over angrily, and when she came to the queen, she suppressed her anger and saluted the queen: "I have seen the queen, I don't know what my brother and the palace maid did wrong, and they offended the queen.
It can be clearly stated that I am now in charge of palace affairs and must be strictly disciplined."
Empress Xu was sitting on a soft chair, looking at Concubine Zhao who was standing. The two were at war with each other, neither giving way to the other. All the palace officials lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.
The queen said: "Concubine Zhao is temporarily in charge of palace affairs, and she manages it so that everyone does not know who the master of the harem is. One of them will take a detour when he sees me, and the other will turn a deaf ear to my words."
Concubine Zhao said: "The Queen is serious. No one in the palace knows that you are the master of the harem. Yu'er, Poria, is this possible?"
Gu Yu said: "I was just about to come over to meet the Queen, when I was invited over by the maid next to the Queen. There was absolutely no disrespect in my heart."
Concubine Zhao said: "It was a misunderstanding. The Queen will not argue with you. You should get up first."
Empress Xu just raised her eyelids and did not stop her.
Gu Yu stood up.
Concubine Zhao said to Poria again: "What about you?"
Fuling said: "I just didn't dare to bother the people around the queen, so I took it upon myself to wipe the sweat of Prince Gu."
Concubine Zhao said: "You make your own decision? You are so brave, Poria, how dare you disobey the queen."
Fu Ling said: "Slave, please punish me."
Concubine Zhao said: "Since you know your mistake, go back and copy the palace rules ten times and hand them over to the Queen for review tomorrow."
Fuling said: "I obey my orders."
Queen Xu on the side turned green when she heard the singing of their master and servant, and said: "Concubine Zhao has the ability to make this cheap servant admit her mistake as soon as she comes."
Concubine Zhao said: "No matter how powerful I am, I can't compare to the Empress. If the Empress has nothing important to do, I will take my younger brother back first. Although the Holy Emperor has given permission for my younger brother to enter the palace, she is a foreigner after all, so I will not be here."
