famous eldest daughter

Chapter 822 Drunkenness
Concubine Hui ignored the look in the emperor's eyes and just said to herself: "The youngest son of the old general of Gusu, married to the legitimate daughter of the Wang family of the Qi Bei farming family, was originally a girl who was proficient in poetry, etiquette, music and music, but ended up in his family , she was forcibly trained to be a battlefield heroine, and those who didn’t know it thought she had been practicing martial arts since she was a child!”

The emperor frowned, "Have you seen her?"

Of course he knew that the youngest son of the Gusu family in Qibei married the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, and he even knew that she was a man of both civil and military talents.

But why didn't he know that Concubine Hui, who had grown up in Kyoto, was actually related to the Gusu family in Qibei? He squeezed the wine cup with his hand and couldn't help but use some force.

Concubine Hui looked like she was recalling the past, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Before I entered the palace, I had a handkerchief with the eldest concubine of Prince Pingxi Palace."

Old King Pingxi and Gu Zhen's father, old Marquis Chinan, were close friends of eight worshippers. The relationship between the two houses has always been excellent. When Gu Suyan died suddenly, the old matriarch of Pingxi Palace cried several times and lost his breath. She has three sons, the eldest daughter Luo Bing, the second daughter Luo Yao, and the youngest son Luo Song. They wear sackcloth and show mourning, just like Gu Yuqing.

This shows how good the relationship between the two families is.

Gu Suyan passed away, and Gu Zhen was devastated. He ran to Beihuang Mountain to escape the world passively, abandoning such a large mansion at once. The young Gu Yuqing supported the whole family by himself, and Prince Pingxi's mansion helped a lot overtly and covertly.

As for the Chinan Marquis Mansion and the Gusu family in Qibei, except for the marriage between Gu Zhen and Gusu Yan, the ancestors of the two families have been moving around frequently.

At that time, the youngest son of the old general Gusu of Qibei was newly married, so he inevitably brought his wife to the Chinanhou Mansion in Kyoto. Concubine Hui was the handkerchief of the eldest concubine of the Prince of Pingxi, so it was natural for her to meet her.

The suspicion that had just appeared in his mind was gradually calmed down, and the emperor changed the subject, "I have heard about your relationship with the Crown Princess of Pingxi Palace before. It was so good, why did you become indifferent later?"

How could Concubine Hui not know what the emperor meant.

After a few glasses of strong wine, her cheeks were already flushed, and her eyes were a little wandering. Concubine Hui sighed, her voice a little hard, and said: "Your Majesty is not unaware of the situation in my concubine's family. The Yongning Marquis Mansion is like this. As far as I’m concerned, I’m not relying on you but becoming a drag.”

"The hearts and turmoil in this palace will never be peaceful. If I had gotten closer to Prince Pingxi's palace, how could Concubine Shu and the Empress give me and Yu'er a place to breathe in those years."

"I am reluctant to let go of my relationship with the eldest concubine of Prince Pingxi Palace, but in order for Yu'er to grow up in peace and not die prematurely due to various accidents, I have no choice but to do it!"

With the help of wine, Concubine Hui looked excited, but her voice was choked with sobs, trying her best to suppress the tears that were about to burst out.

"Only if I have no backing, only if I cannot become a strong rival in their eyes, then Concubine Shu and the Empress, the He family and the British Duke's Palace will let me and Yongning Houfu go!"

The sounds of sadness became more intense.

The tears in his eyes could no longer be held back, and they burst out suddenly like a leak. The hot tears fell down his cheeks, dripping into the wine cup on the table in front of him, making water splash.

Concubine Hui suddenly paused, picked up the wine cup filled with bitter tears, brought it to her mouth, and raised her head to drink.

After spending so many years together, the Emperor certainly knew how Concubine Hui drank. She could only drink five glasses of such strong wine at most, but tonight, she had already drank more than a dozen, not to mention the ones she drank by herself.

Knowing that Concubine Hui was already drunk, the Emperor stood up in person and leaned forward to pour another glass of wine for Concubine Hui, "I know that I have suffered a lot from you and Yu'er these years."

Concubine Hui's lowered eyelashes trembled slightly, and a wisp of light without warmth flashed in her eyes. Immediately afterwards, tears continued to pour down. Just as the emperor sat down, Concubine Hui raised her eyes that were constantly streaming with tears. Poor, "I feel really uncomfortable in my heart."

"Don't mention those old things, just recently, His Majesty doesn't know. When Yu'er told the concubine that Xue Ruo was poisoned to death, the concubine's heart seemed to be dug out..."

Her voice was completely broken, and as she finished her words, Concubine Hui put her arms on the table, buried her head in tears, and swept the cups and dishes on the table to the floor.

If she hadn't been drunk, how could she have acted like this? To be able to cry so unscrupulously in front of the emperor is simply drunk and unconscious.

The heartache in his eyes subsided, but the emperor still moved his eyes a few times, parted his lips, and finally said, "Tell me, could Ke'er be the legitimate son of the Gu Zhen family?"

The emperor finished his words, his eyes fixed on Concubine Hui's head, which was constantly swaying due to her crying and trembling.

I don’t know how much effort she put into it, but after the emperor finished speaking for about a cup of tea, Concubine Hui finally put her hands on the table, raised her head and sat up straight, her eyes were dim with tears, and there were still tears hanging on her curled eyelashes, because she was lying down. She cried in front of her, her makeup was slightly stained, and her eyes were red and swollen.

Trying her best to open her eyelids, Concubine Hui frowned and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty said that His Highness Ninth Prince is Gu Zhen's son? Since Your Majesty knows that His Highness Ninth Prince is Gu Zhen's son, why don't you return it to him? You want to use His Majesty Ninth Prince as a blackmail Gu Zhen’s capital?”

He spoke with a grunt, which is the ambiguity unique to drunk people. The emperor listened, but couldn't help but touch his forehead.

Concubine Hui's answer... is simply...

Apart from being speechless, the emperor could not find any more appropriate words to describe his mood at this moment.

He coughed slightly and brushed away his thoughts. The emperor was unwilling to give in and said: "I don't know if it is true or not, but today, Gu Yuqing was injured. Ke'er's performance was really exaggerated. He actually ignored me and yelled at Gu Yuqing at the top of his lungs. elder sister."

Concubine Hui's eyes were blurred with drunkenness. She held her chin in one hand and held a chopstick in the other. She looked at the copper stove hot pot in front of her, clinking...

After the emperor finished speaking, Concubine Hui sneered, "Don't His Majesty the Ninth Prince call Gu Yuqing sister every day? It's not like your majesty doesn't know that he dares not to call him. If he doesn't call, Yu'er will not teach him how to fly. Knife skills.”

emperor……

I originally thought that I would utter the truth after drinking, but Concubine Hui's truth uttered... Taking a deep breath, the emperor made a last ditch effort, "Did Yu'er never tell you about the relationship between Ke'er and the Chinan Marquis Mansion?"

When Xiao Ke called Gu Yuqing sister, the room was full of people, and everyone looked horrified, except Xiao Yu.

His exception might be because he knew something, or because he was so focused on Gu Yuqing that he didn't even hear what Xiao Ke said.

Even the reactions of Xiao Yu and Concubine Hui point directly to the second possibility.

But the seed of doubt in the emperor's heart still took root silently.
