famous eldest daughter

Chapter 529 Orange Petals
Just after the dyeing was finished, the queen was blowing her fingers in front of her lips, when the maid replied, "Your Majesty, the third lady of General Gongsun's residence wants to see you."

Hearing this, the queen didn't raise her eyes and said, "Let her wait, there is no need to serve tea!" She ordered and continued to blow the bright red on her nails a few times.

When it is completely dry, put your fingers together and hold your hands in front of you, with the back of your hands facing and palms facing outwards. Facing the sunlight coming through the large window, smile with your lips curled up, and squint your eyes to appreciate the bright red color soaked by the sunlight.

This red color is something that only she, the lord of this palace, deserves to possess.

If you are favored by Concubine Hui, you can only use water red that is close to true red.

Today, she is the glorious queen, and tomorrow, she will be the unique queen mother. No one can stop this path!

As for those who are in the same camp as her, keep the useful ones for now, and eliminate the useless ones.

My heart was rolling, and after the excitement, it was as calm as a lake without a trace of ripples. I took the tangerine on hand, peeled it tooth by tooth, and removed the pale white orange strands on it, leaving only the smooth orange petals, but it was Instead of putting it in his mouth, he turned around and asked the palace maid beside him to bring the kitten.

How could a cat take the initiative to eat tangerines when it has raw fish?

But the moment the cat in the Queen's Palace saw the orange petal, its slightly narrowed eyes suddenly glowed like a wolf and a tiger. With a swoosh, it broke away from the palace maid's arms and rushed towards the moon-white creature that was resting on the ground by the Queen. Jade plate.

It looks like a cat!

The orange slices on the plate were eaten by it in just a blink of an eye. Its pink tongue licked the bottom of the plate, and with a cry of "meow", it jumped straight towards the palace maid standing on its left side.

In the hands of the palace maid, she was holding a lake-blue cloud-water dress. The color was quite bright, but the silk threads on the dress were stained with traces of scratches left by sharp claws.

The cat leaped up and grabbed the dress with all his strength. His whole body hung on the dress, scratching and biting desperately, as if the dress was its enemy.

After struggling with it for about half a stick of incense, until it was exhausted, and seeing that its movements were weak and slow, the Queen raised her hand to signal for someone to take it down.

The lake blue Yunshui skirt was also put away by Haosheng.

There was a look of hesitation between her brows, and she raised her hand to support the beaded flowers on her temples. The queen stood up, and then walked out to see Gongsun Qi.

At this time, more than half an hour had passed since Gongsun Qi asked for an audience.

The queen didn't come, and there was no tea at hand. Gongsun Qi was thirsty, with his head drooped and his mouth curled up, huddled in the chair with a look of grievance. When he heard the jingle of the ring, he immediately sat up straight and turned his head. Look over at the sound.

I saw a group of palace servants supporting a graceful and luxurious woman, stepping out from the beaded curtain in the inner room, and slowly took her seat with the sound of rings.

Gongsun Qi immediately squeezed the handkerchief from the chair and got up, and put it down gracefully, "My daughter, please greet your mother."

The knees are slightly bent, performing the Wanfu ceremony.

The queen glanced coldly, then turned her head to take the hot tea handed over by the servant girl, blew on the froth on the surface of the tea, took a sip, and sighed, "This imperial tea is not as good as it is every year, and the color is not as good as the others. , even the taste is much different from before.”

Whether it was because Gongsun Qi was stupid or because he was so thirsty that he couldn't understand the meaning of the Queen's words. He just thought that the Queen was really saying that the tea was not good to drink, so he opened his mouth and said: "There is a fine Longjing in my house. Come to the palace tomorrow and give it to your empress to drink."

She meant to please, but her words had a hint of transgression.

The tea in the palace is not of the Queen's liking. Could it be that the tea in the General's Palace is better than the tea in the palace!

When these words came out, where would the general's mansion be located?

Gongsun Mu was famous throughout his life and could be called the most cunning and cunning person among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. How could he give birth to a daughter who was as stupid as a stone!
The queen frowned, and when she looked at Gongsun Qi, she felt a little more disgusted.

How can such a person accompanying Xiao Yi help him?

Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man, having a virtuous wife in the family is like having a treasure.

But if this wife is not virtuous, the whole family will be in trouble, needless to say.

Isn't Yongninghou Mansion a living example? Nowadays, no one can talk about gossip at the wine table without the Bai family of Yongninghou Mansion!

The queen does not want Xiao Yi's mansion to become the second Yongning Marquis' mansion.

His legitimate wife, the future empress, wanted to be a respectful mother to the world. Even if she was not very clever, she still had to have the most basic qualities to avoid making people laugh at her generosity.

Gongsun Qi... is obviously not a suitable candidate.

The queen had previously wanted to marry her natal niece to Xiao Yi as her official wife. Because Gongsun Mu took the initiative to marry and she was really optimistic about Gongsun Mu's power, she suppressed her thoughts and nodded in agreement.

Unexpectedly, this Gongsun Qi is a disaster!
Now, the thought of marrying her niece to Xiao Yi has become active again. Although the marriage was granted by His Majesty's imperial decree, Gongsun Qi is the main concubine. Her niece used to be at most a side concubine. There are a few of them who are truly the original spouses!
Everything depends on human effort, not to mention her!

After thinking about it like this, the queen looked at Gongsun Qi again. The disgust in her eyes was no longer as strong as before. It was just like looking at an item again, an item with little use value. "Okay, get up quickly, you have this Bengong will be very happy if you share your heart, it's just tea, and you don't need to make a fuss."

This is a rejection.

No matter how stupid Gongsun Qi was, he understood clearly. The smile on his face immediately froze slightly. Because of the previous incident, his eyes became hot and tears fell down.

The queen was a little confused.

So good, what kind of trouble is she going to make!
It can be seen that people are stupid and do mischief, and this sentence is also extremely accurate.

She took a breath and glanced at Gongsun Qi. In order to save Gongsun Mu's face, the queen finally opened her mouth and asked: "What's going on? You were fine just now, why did you start crying? Don't cry anymore. What happened under the big festival?" It seems that if Yi'er bumps into you, I'll think I've bullied you."

The last sentence had the air of a joke.

Gongsun Qi sobbed and wiped her tears, "I beg you to save me, I'm afraid I've offended His Highness. Just now at the gate of the palace, because he was quarreling with Gu Yuqing, he spoke a little out of proportion, and His Highness happened to listen to him. …”

Gongsun Qi added fuel and vinegar, and told the queen about the things at the gate of the palace.

The queen sneered helplessly.

That's called losing your sense of proportion... You said you admired Xiao Yu in front of Xiao Yi. If this is just called losing your sense of proportion, then what is serious?
It's just that at this moment, the queen has already made up her mind to send her natal niece to Xiao Yi's house as a concubine, so when she heard this, her thoughts changed slightly and she took it into consideration. "Okay, what do you look like when you cry? Sit back quickly."

Gongsun Qi sat down as he said, and looked at the queen with red eyes.
