famous eldest daughter

Chapter 280 Cloudy
With her eyelashes quivering slightly, Concubine Hui looked at the maid again, with wisps of cold light bursting out of her slightly narrowed eyes.

Xiao Yi, who was sitting opposite her, narrowed his eagle eyes at this moment, and had a rough guess in his heart. It seemed that Xiao Jingyu and Chu Tianzhi had already started to make a move... Thinking of the things that Xiao Jingyu had vaguely mentioned, it was so cruel Xiao Yi, for example, couldn't help but feel the hair on his vest at this moment, and silently sighed for Gu Yuqing in his heart.

Apart from sighing, there was no other emotion.

Xiao Jingyu and Chu Tiange's plan was originally an excellent opportunity for him to spy on Xiao Yu. As long as he used it a little to expand the situation, it would be enough without him doing anything else.

But because of what Gu Yuqing and Xiao Yu had said before about the "three-year-old" and "ten-year-old" cases about contacting the Gusu family in Qibei, he became suspicious of Chu Tiange and gave up his previous idea.

There are many ways to test Xiao Yu, and this is not the only opportunity. No matter how much he covets the ninth-five position, he is not stupid enough to join forces with a foreign prince. Even if they are to use each other, he will not .

In order to seize the throne, he can be ruthless and unscrupulous, even killing his brothers without batting an eyelid. But in the end, there is no bottom line. The justice of his family and country is the only last line of defense that he cannot touch.

Among the princes, the Ninth Prince Xiao Ke's position was the most inconspicuous. In a secluded corner, he stood upright, his long and dense eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, covering his gaze towards the Queen, which was cold and murderous. Her eyes are so clear and aggressive that it makes people feel intimidated. Those clear eyes are like sharp swords that can pierce through everything.

However, he was always inconspicuous and was never looked at seriously. No one would notice the expression on the face of a prince who was always ignored.

When the voice of the court lady fell, Xiao Ke covered the expression in his eyes, raised his eyes and said: "Father, Queen Mother, I also think that she heard correctly. When I passed by Chenxiang Pavilion, I seemed to hear the elder sister and Miss Gu saying You have sore feet and want to take a rest in Chenxiang Pavilion."

His meaning was very clear, it was Xiao Jingyu who invited Gu Yuqing to Chenxiang Pavilion.

After saying this, Xiao Ke looked at the queen's eyes with a sneer and kept silent.

It's a pity that he is used to being ignored. Even on such occasions, he is still ignored even after saying such words. Even as shrewd as the queen, she did not think about the sword and sword shadow hidden in his words.

The daughter intended to lead everyone to Chenxiang Pavilion, so the queen naturally cooperated with her.

After hearing the words of the palace maid, the queen's face immediately darkened, and she turned to look at the emperor. There was a deep worry in her phoenix eyes, "Your Majesty, you'd better go and have a look. After all, she is the eldest daughter of Marquis Chi Nan. "

Concubine Hui, who was always reluctant to say anything on such occasions, raised her eyebrows slightly, and her butterfly-wing eyelashes trembled slightly for a moment. She turned her eyes and looked towards the emperor, "Yes, Your Majesty, after all, you are entering the palace for a banquet. If it is true, What happened..." As she spoke, Concubine Hui glanced at the Queen with a vague look in her eyes. She paused for a moment and then said, "Don't worry, it's better to go and take a look. The palace banquet has been dispersed now. , the prince of South Vietnam is not here."

The queen looked directly at the emperor, thinking about Xiao Jingyu. Naturally, she didn't notice the look in Concubine Hui's eyes when she paused, but the emperor saw it clearly.

Concubine Hui was clearly afraid that Jingyu would do something rash and leave the cabinet again, which would hurt the royal family's face.

What's more, her words reminded him to dismiss all the guests before leaving, and also pointed out whether Chu Tiande, who was not at the table at the moment, might be related to this matter.

Compared with Concubine Hui's calmness and composure, the queen's performance was really unsatisfactory.

The Queen and Concubine Hui both spoke, and Concubine Shu naturally refused to lag behind and immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty, if there is something wrong with Miss Gu, how will you explain it to Marquis Chinan when he comes back!"

Who doesn't know that although the emperor and Marquis Chinan are monarchs and ministers, if Marquis Chinan seriously gets angry, even the emperor will give him two points and retreat.

But Zhigui knew that there were some things that the emperor himself said he could do, but if someone else said it, it would have a different meaning. What's more, the person who said this was his concubine, and the emperor felt even more uncomfortable. .

Before Concubine Shu finished her words, she saw the emperor's originally gloomy face turned dark and translucent for a moment. She was so frightened that she flashed her tongue. She kept her mouth shut and did not dare to say any more. She just muttered aggrievedly in her heart. Why did the Queen and Concubine Hui say the same thing? Yes, but if I say it, the emperor will get angry!

Xiao Duo, who was sitting opposite, saw this and sighed deeply. The mother-in-law's scheming government was really... In recent years, if the uncle had not played an important role in the court, the mother-in-law's position would have been lost long ago.

Criticisms come from the inside. After all, the relationship between mother and son, Xiao Duo couldn't see Concubine Shu being left there in embarrassment, so he immediately said: "Father, this matter is of great importance. We can't delay it, so we should hurry up."

The emperor nodded and was about to dismiss all the guests when the queen suddenly pulled his sleeves and winked secretly. The emperor could understand the meaning of Concubine Hui's words, and she naturally understood them too.

But the reason why this round was chosen today is because all the civil and military officials and family members and relatives in the capital are here today. If they really send people away, then the effect of this round will be greatly reduced.

The game her daughter had carefully laid out could not be ruined just by Concubine Hui's few words.

He immediately lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, all the guests have heard what happened today. If we send everyone away like this, it will cause people to panic and make many speculations. Even if nothing happens, many things will happen for nothing, which will be harmful. Gu Yuqing.

After a pause in her tone, the queen said sincerely: "We might as well let them follow us and just wait outside Chenxiang Pavilion. If nothing happens, everyone will be happy. Even if something does happen, we can suppress this matter temporarily in Chenxiang Pavilion. Giving people a sense of peace will prevent Gu Yuqing from being seriously injured by rumors in the future."

Just now I felt that the Empress was not as calm as Concubine Hui, but what he said at this moment moved the Emperor's heart. He turned his eyes to look at the Empress, and sighed in his heart, the Empress, after all, is the Empress, her thoughtfulness is indeed incomparable to other concubines.

In this way, the emperor and the queen took the lead, and then led a large group of people straight to Chenxiang Pavilion.

Walking in the crowd, Xiao Ke looked at the graceful back of the queen in front of him from afar, with a smile on his lips. On him, the corners of the stone blue brocade robe were blown away by the wind.

Just as a group of them were about to arrive at Chenxiang Pavilion, Xiao Yu and Ming Lu quietly carried Chu Tiange, who was tied with hemp rope, to the shade of the trees in the backyard of Chenxiang Pavilion. Ming Lu looked outside and saw the crowd approaching. , said excitedly: "Your Highness, here we come!"
