Under the Empress Dowager, all members will be King

Chapter 35 The Queen Is Too Greedy

"Isn't it just to save you, your maid came to Changning Palace and told me that the empress has caught you, the situation is urgent, let me rescue you."

Gu Yin patted her shoulder slightly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. After running this distance, you can lose at least ten catties of meat. You have to treat me to a barbecue to make up for it, or I won't do it."

"Okay, let me treat you to a barbecue."

"It's only when there are many people eating barbecue. Xiaoyu will go and call Concubine Jin, Concubine Xiangui, Zhao Qiansun and Li Shuyi."

Concubine Shu hugged the cat and walked towards the Cangzhu Palace with an arrogant gait, Gu Yinwei corrected her: "The direction is reversed, go east."

"East side? The emperor grants you permission to live in the Jiaofang Hall?"

"should be."

"You are ready to experience the wrath of the concubines in the harem." Concubine Zhen tickled the cat in her arms, and then gave Gu Yinwei a look of pity.

"Thank you for reminding me, I have already experienced it." The anger of the Queen of Qiwu Palace almost burned him to ashes.

"How does it feel, is it irritating?"

"Walking on the boundary between life and death, you say that thorns are not exciting."

"It's exciting to hear it."

"Do you want to experience it?"

"I am old and have a bad heart. I am only suitable for raising cats and walking dogs. This kind of comfortable and comfortable life."

"Older? You are only three years older than me. An eighteen girl is like a flower."

Concubine Zhen corrected: "This year, eat 19-year-old meals, run to 20-year-old, and round up equals 20 years old."

"Concubine Zhen, an ordinary little genius in arithmetic."

Gu Yinwei was talking to Concubine Zhen, Concubine Jin came in a sedan chair, and the maid Aqiu beside her was holding a chess set.

"According to Sister Zhenfei, wouldn't I be older?"

Concubine Zhen said: "Sister Concubine Jin is always young." After speaking, she stepped forward and took Concubine Jin's hand and called, "Let's go eat barbecue."

"Barbecue is not as good as playing chess. Gu Changyi, I will definitely kill you today."

As the sun was setting, four Shuyis, Concubine Zhao, Qian, Sun and Li, also came. Gu Yinwei stood with his back to the setting sun, and suddenly figured out one thing. The most shining thing in a person is not killing each other Instead of fighting and strife, they always have a compassionate heart, warm each other, and help each other.

There is an open space at the back of the Jiaofang hall, and a long corridor is surrounded by fences beside the hall. There are some high and low bamboo poles hanging in the air above the corridor, and the bamboo poles are covered with grape vines. It is late autumn and the leaves of the grapevines are gradually falling. , leaving only dark brown branches.

The virtuous concubine walked slowly along the corridor, "Grapes are on the shelf in summer, this must be a summer resort."

Concubine Jin said: "When you mentioned grapes, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to bring the pair of purple jade chess pieces. It's a pity."

The barbecue grill was set up deep in the corridor, Zhao Qian, Sun Li, and four Shuyi gathered together to tell jokes.

Concubine Zhen pointed to the open space in the backyard, "Build a cat kennel to the east, a dog kennel to the west, and a fox kennel to the north."

Gu Yinwei shook her vigorously, "Concubine Zhen can see clearly, this is Jiaofang Palace, not Changning Palace."

Concubine Zhen lay at the gate of the courtyard and asked, "How do you plan to plan such a large open space?"

Gu Yingxia came from outside the hall, and smiled as she walked: "How can I plan it, she must use it to grow vegetables and flowers."

Gu Yinwei stepped forward to hold her hand: "Just as someone was going to call you, you came."

"Tong Tao asked someone to bring me a message early, and when you think of me, they have eaten all the meat."

Concubine Jin shouted: "Gu Shurong is here to play chess."

Gu Yingxia carried her skirt and ran towards Concubine Jin, surrounded by four chess players watching, everyone was paying attention, the people who watched chess were more nervous than those who played chess.

The charcoal fire has been red-hot, and a brand-new iron net is hung on the iron rack. The fresh venison is sliced ​​thinly, and the meat slices are covered with dipping sauce.

Xiaoyu was very excited, and she rolled up her sleeves to show her hands. She volunteered to make a bowl of secret sauce for Concubine Zhen. In the bowl, add [-] chopped green onions, a small spoonful of garlic paste, a spoonful of sesame paste, and a spoonful of mushroom sauce, mix and mash Chinese cornel and green pepper, served with soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, stir well with chopsticks.

Concubine Zhen looked at the bowl of red and green dipping sauce and did not dare to put her mouth down. The noble concubine said: "Little fish, you forgot to put the peanut butter that Concubine Zhen likes."

Xiaoyu quickly put a spoonful of crushed peanuts into the bowl, and then added half a spoonful of peanut butter.

For the sake of the peanut butter, Concubine Zhen picked up a piece of meat, which was covered with sauce and refused to put it in her mouth.

"The taste is so mixed, where can it be delicious?"

Xiaoyu looked forward to it, "Your Majesty, try it quickly."

Concubine Zhen gritted her teeth, picked up the barbecue and put it in her mouth. When she first took it, it was a bit spicy. This kind of spicy taste is unique to cornel.

When you take the first bite, the aroma of sauce and vinegar spreads from your mouth, and when you take the second bite, you can feel the burnt aroma of barbecued meat.

Xiaoyu waited expectantly for Concubine Zhen's evaluation.

"Although the sauce you made is very ugly, it's still delicious."

As soon as Concubine Zhen said this, Concubine Jin immediately snatched the sauce bowl from her hand, "Don't share the good things with me, eat alone."

Concubine Zhen also got serious, and ran after Concubine Jin regardless of her appearance.

Gu Yingxia held a jug of fruit wine and got drunk, Ah Qing persuaded her not to drink, she encouraged Ah Qing to drink together, half a quarter of an hour later both master and servant became drunk cats.

"Look, Ah Qing, there is a moon on the ground, and there is also a moon in the sky."

Ah Qing looked drunk, "Two moons, one on the ground and one in the sky."

Gu Yinwei followed the direction Gu Yingxia was looking at, and there was nothing there.

Concubine Zhen said: "Just now there seemed to be a lantern at the gate of the palace, did someone come?"

Concubine Jin snatched the meat in front of Concubine Zhen, "Heavenly King Lao Tzu is here, but I can't stop me from playing chess and eating meat."

Concubine Xian Gui, Zhao Qian, Sun Li, and four Shuyis played drums and passed flowers around the table, and the sound of laughter spread far away.

The banquet is set under a flower wall in the east of Jiaofang Hall. Drinking wine among the flowers, and barbecue under the moonlight, everyone's face is full of smiles. The rules and regulations of the palace are gone. attitude.

The emperor stood leaning on a high platform, his eyes locked on the playful concubines, the national teacher was right, she was a banished fairy who strayed into the world, and she was the one who could take off other people's masks.

The eunuch of Qiwu Palace came to invite the emperor, Fu Gui told Xun He with his ear, and Xun He waited for the emperor to step down from the high platform before telling him about the message sent by the empress.

"He is my wife, I should go and see."

A small sedan chair traveled from Jiaofang Palace to Qiwu Palace, and the queen saluted him. The queen's etiquette was good. She was 22 years old this year, and she was a queen carefully cultivated by the Qiu family.

The emperor looked at her quietly, Qiu Yuying was a qualified queen, but not a qualified wife.

For example, at this moment, he wanted to eat quietly, but the other party wanted to spoil his appetite.

"The Shougong sand in Gu Changyi's hand is gone." When the Queen asked this, her voice trembled slightly.

"Hmm." The emperor replied to her with a single tone.

"What is a concubine? A concubine is a queen chosen by the queen mother for the emperor."

"In the past, I had no choice but to obey the Queen Mother in everything."

"what about now?"

"Now Gu Changyi is my choice."

"Your Majesty, you are so heartless."

"It's not that I'm heartless, but that the queen is too greedy."

The queen stared blankly at the emperor, not believing that he would say such unfeeling words.

"You want the queen's throne, you want the support of the queen mother, and now, even my heart, you want to occupy it."

"The emperor is a courtier and concubine marrying a husband. Husband and wife should be of the same mind, so why talk about domination? Doesn't the emperor miss the courtiers and concubines at all, and doesn't have half a love for the courtiers and concubines?"

The emperor put down his chopsticks and stood up from his seat.

"I respect the empress as I respect the empress dowager and the Qiu family."

The queen's face was full of tears, and she cried so much that the pear blossoms were raining.

"Why her? There are so many women in the harem, why did you choose Gu Yinwei?"

"The queen wanted the wind to get the wind and the rain to get the rain since she was a child. She didn't understand my suffering. For me, being able to freely choose the person I like is a kind of happiness in itself."
