Queen's scheming

Chapter 259 Red Mouth White Teeth
Shen Qingyi opened her water-like eyes wide, stared at Tang Aoxue, and said in surprise and doubt: "Concubine Tang Gui didn't prepare a birthday gift for the emperor? How is this possible?"

Tang Aoxue lowered her head even more, and said pitifully, "It's all because of concubines, I haven't made enough preparations."

Li Tianyou was receiving a number of unique gifts, and his heart was tight, but he was suffocated by Tang Aoxue, feeling a little uncomfortable. His birthday is considered a big event in the harem, and those concubines hated him. It couldn’t have been prepared in the first year. A few days ago, Tang Aoxue was seen carrying him on his back. As soon as he went to Zhaoyang Palace, Tang Aoxue was busy hiding something. She thought she would get a surprise today, but she didn’t expect it to be. After being empty, he also asked in disbelief: "Are you really not preparing anything for me?"

Shen Qingyi also took the opportunity to continue worrying: "Concubine Tang Gui must be joking, but I know that Concubine Tang Gui has hidden good things before, and why she kept them hidden, take them out for the sisters in the harem to have a look at." What? Are you afraid that we will steal yours? Do you have to hide it for the emperor to see?"

After listening to Shen Qingyi's words, Li Tianyou also thought it made sense. Tang Aoxue must have prepared a birthday gift, but she refused to show it to everyone. Such pettyness is unavoidably too much...

Tang Aoxue suddenly raised her head at this moment, with tears streaming down her face, which frightened everyone at the banquet. As the host of this banquet, Shen Qingyi must softly comfort her: "What's wrong? Don't look at it. I don’t want to watch it anymore, it’s not a good thing to cry and wipe away tears on such a beautiful day!”

Li Tianyou suppressed his temper, and was a little displeased. After all, it was his birthday, so he didn't want to see tears, "What's wrong with you? If you're not ready, just say you're not ready. How can you be so petty?" of!"

Bai Changyi, who was sitting at the end, got up to salute at the right time, and said distressedly: "Your Majesty, this time it's no wonder your concubine, your concubine has spent a lot of thought to prepare a gift for the emperor, and her fingers are full of fine needle holes. If the emperor doesn't believe it, You can take your concubine's finger to see!"

Li Tianyou and Tang Aoxue are separated by Shen Qingyi, so it is not easy to pass Shen Qingyi to look at it, but Shen Qingyi stepped forward with an attentive face, took out Tang Aoxue's hand to look at it, and sighed: "Oh, isn't it? I sewed something for your majesty, look at these fingers, they are almost out of shape, all swollen, ten fingers connected to the heart, in this state, I am afraid it will be a problem to hold a teacup."

Shen Qingyi shook her head, saying it was a pity, but she was worried in her heart. Fortunately, she was prepared, otherwise with Tang Aoxue's current ruthlessness, she would definitely catch the truth!

Li Tianyou was a little relieved to hear Shen Qingyi say this, and asked repeatedly: "Since you made something for me, why didn't you take it out?" His voice was much softer, and Shen Qingyi frowned slightly at the side, Li Tianyou said It was clearly to lead Tang Aoxue to say something, lest the concubines of the sixth palace would be dissatisfied with her.

Shen Qingyi pursed her lips lightly, and wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief to cover up the sneer on her lips. Did Li Tianyou think of Tang Aoxue so much?Sure enough, what Mrs. Feng Guogong taught Shen Qingwan back then was good. When a man encounters a gentle and weak man, he will be full of pity, and he will be dazzled by machismo!

Tang Aoxue looked at Li Tianyou aggrievedly, and then at Shen Qingyi sadly, her expression seemed to tell everyone that she was bullied by Shen Qingyi, but today Shen Qingyi was wearing a silver-red wide-sleeved choker The outer dress with a hundred birds facing the phoenix at the waist is paired with a gorgeous rich and noble peony twelve-piece Yuehua skirt. It looks like a lady of the Ming Dynasty, graceful and luxurious, but Tang Aoxue only wears a light apricot red narrow-sleeved and slanted-breasted simple and elegant dress. On the jacket and skirt, there was only a small jacket embroidered with a winter plum and Aoxue, which was small and elegant, and everyone looked at Shen Qingyi thoughtfully.

Shen Qingyi didn't hide her displeasure at all, straightened the jasper lotus hairpin on Zheng Lingxu's bun, stroked the palace sash in front of her, and said seriously: "If Tang Guifei has any dissatisfaction with this palace, you can To be blunt, Bengong thinks that these days, he asks you about his health, keeps giving you constant rewards, and treats you well. What do you mean by looking at me like this? Could it be that you didn’t prepare a birthday gift for the emperor, but isn’t it Bengong’s? Straightforward, everyone in the whole palace knows it, and explained the matter clearly in person. That weeping little family son is doing something, you, a daughter of the Duke of Zhen, should not learn it, so as not to lose the face of her mother's family. !"

Shen Qingyi said it happily, even Li Tianyou didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, just as Shen Qingyi said, Shen Qingyi has such a temperament, it is not easy to treat her so magnanimously because of the previous matter That's right, if Tang Aoxue still has resentment, it's Tang Aoxue's fault.

Tang Aoxue was still crying and refused to speak, Bai Changyi finally spoke at the right time again, and said pitifully: "Your concubine's empress is too pitiful, since the empress empress told your concubine's sister like this, maybe there is some misunderstanding, let's talk about it It's fine, your concubine should tell the emperor, so that the emperor won't annoy my sister because of this matter, and my sister has suffered so much, she should let the emperor take a look!"

Only then did Tang Aoxue look at Li Tianyou eagerly, and said: "At first, the concubine thought that the matter had become such a mess, so she wanted to make up the birthday gift to the emperor another day, but hearing what Baimeimei and the empress said, maybe it is true." Misunderstood, the concubine is rude!"

After Tang Aoxue finished speaking, she ordered the little maid to bring out a small black lacquer and gold tray, opened it sadly, and cried: "The concubine has been lighting the lamp and staying up all night to make it for a long time. Yesterday, the dragon robe that just took shape, today I really wanted to take it out, but I didn't expect that when I was about to leave the palace, I found that I was cut into such a shape!"

Everyone looked at it, and they were stunned. The bright yellow dragon robe was cut into strips, and the strands drooped down, so pitiful.Bai Changyi also wiped his tears in front of Tang Aoxue and said, "Sister Your Concubine wanted to keep this matter a secret. After all, it involved a dragon robe. Her fingers are injured like this, how can she do it!"

Tang Aoxue took advantage of the gap between wiping her tears, and saw a flash of surprise on Shen Qingyi's face at the right time!snort!Shen Qingyi, you are still so aggressive just now today, I want to see how you still take out the carefully prepared dragon robe to offer treasures!
The eyes of all the concubines unconsciously glanced at Shen Qingyi. Others would not dare to do such a thing, dare to tear off the dragon robe so arrogantly, who else has such guts except Shen Qingyi!

Li Tianyou also looked at Shen Qingyi. He has been pampering Tang Aoxue these days. After all, she is the daughter of the Zhenguo Duke's mansion. She has been neglected for two years, and she has no complaints at all. Pain her a bit, but Shen Qingyi can't just cut off the dragon robe just because of this!
Shen Qingyi's surprised expression did not disappear, she could feel Li Tianyou's expression, she felt a little unhappiness in her heart, she forced herself to suppress it, glared at Tang Aoxue and said, "Tang Guibi means that the matter of cutting the dragon robe was done by me. ?”

Tang Aoxue was still crying and said: "I don't dare. If it wasn't for the empress' empress to force me all the time, my concubine would not have prepared to tell this matter. She just wanted to go back and sew it for the emperor. Who would let my concubine do it?" The concubine did something wrong before, I'm sorry for the empress, the empress should complain about the concubine, but the empress can punish the concubine directly, why do this, not to mention the hard work of the concubine, Just say it was done for the emperor, and the empress shouldn't be like this!"

Shen Qingyi sneered and said: "Why is Tang Guipin so determined that this matter was done by me, could it be that one of your eyes can't see it?"

With tears in her eyes, Tang Aoxue glanced at Li Tianyou faintly, and said: "The concubine didn't know about it before, but when she was sitting at the table, she heard the imperial concubine Duanjing mention that it was the empress who also sewed the dragon robe for the emperor. If the empress does not want concubines to have the same birthday ceremony as the empress, she can inform the concubine in advance, the concubine will never compete with the empress, just say that there is no gift prepared, why is the empress so cruel! "

Bai Changyi supported Tang Aoxue, who was about to cry, and said softly: "Earlier, the empress picked two maids from the House of Internal Affairs and sent them to Zhaoyang Palace, saying that they were going to serve your concubine. This palace maid ruined the dragon robes that your concubine was rushing to make day and night!"

Li Tianyou looked at Shen Qingyi with an unhappy expression. What he was worried about was not a piece of clothing, but he felt that Shen Qingyi shouldn't be so confused. This is a dragon robe, not an ordinary dress. If you say so, cut it as soon as you say it, and cut him off. Where is this emperor placed!Looking at Shen Qingyi's expression again, he already firmly believed that all this was done by her.

The imperial concubine Duanjing suddenly stood up and saluted, pointing to Bai Changyi and said: "You are a small changer, and you have been biting the empress with red mouth and white teeth since just now, making promises every now and guessing every now and then, those who don't know think you The case was settled by the previous dynasty. Don’t say that the queen concubine rewarded two maids to Zhaoyang Palace to serve Concubine Tang. The empress pityed that there was no one around Concubine Tang to serve her. She was worried that the emperor would be neglected when she arrived in Zhaoyang Palace, so she specially dialed There are so many concubines here, the maids and eunuchs serving in front of you and behind you are not chosen by my concubine, but by the empress. Could it be that if there is something in your palace, you will It's the fault of my concubine and empress!"

Bai Changyi didn't want to do such a thing, such a thankless effort would easily annoy Li Tianyou, but there were some things Tang Aoxue didn't want to say by herself, and only pushed herself to offend others, so she had to speak for Tang Aoxue, now Now that the imperial concubine Duanjing pointed her finger at her, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed, her voice trembled softly and said: "The concubine is overstepping, the concubine is just a small change of clothes, I wish there was no one in the next day." Those who know concubines and concubines, those who are slaves, dare to show concubine this little master, if it is not for Tang Guifei's help, I don't know where the concubine is right now. Although the concubine comes from a small family, she also knows that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, so I just expressed some of my guesses, if the empress really didn't do such a thing, she would naturally explain it clearly!"

Li Tianyou saw another pitiful little Changyi kneeling on the ground, the pear blossoms were raining, crying so sadly, but Shen Qingyi stood on top of it, glanced at them coldly, and believed even more in Tang Guibi and Bai Changyi who were kneeling on the ground, and felt a little dissatisfied in his heart Shu Tan, I didn't expect Shen Qingyi to be so unreasonable...
