Ten Miles of Red Makeup

Chapter 105
The dignified voice of the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian came, "The garden is really full of spring scenery, which makes people fascinated." As soon as the words came out, all the officials agreed, and none of them would give up this great opportunity, which was given by the Queen Mother. Yizhi, everyone couldn't stop wanting to climb up.

"The empress dowager is over-reputed, she is just mediocre, and she can still catch the eyes of the empress dowager and the emperor." The minister said, as soon as the words came out, some people cast contemptuous glances, and many people already gave it to her. color, "What the empress dowager said is very true. Although the servant's daughter is mediocre, she is also a leader among them." Such sharp words, Gu Qingcheng looked slowly, and saw that the speaker was a young person , must be young and vigorous, saying such words, although only one person was offended, all the women in the palace were demoted.

Under the words, Gu Qingcheng glanced at the woman who fell next to him. She looked pretty good, but the smug look in her eyes would not be hidden at all. Such a person is often on the cusp of a storm, and the person who speaks should be her brother. Such a role model, if you believe in her character, naturally you dare not follow her.

The implication is that the waiter, who just spoke for the first time, already looked displeased, and at the moment he is holding back his face, neither sitting nor standing.

Because of the anger in his heart, his hands trembled unconsciously, and the fine wine in his hands overflowed slightly, dripping on the dark blue court clothes, a light stain, which was kicked upside down by someone.

They sat down in embarrassment, but the fireworks did not stop, and another person said, "As a woman, three obediences and four virtues are the duty of a woman. If you ask me, it is more appropriate to be educated and reasonable." To boast about one's own people, each of them is trying his best to send his daughter or younger sister to the emperor's dragon bed in exchange for his own promotion.

Although it is a stupid approach, this approach has been continued for thousands of years, and it also weighs the affairs of the court. If the women in the harem are the women of high-ranking ministers in the previous court, there are often many people who follow the trend.

Ning Yu looked at everything that happened in front of him indifferently, his expression was so calm, obviously he already knew all this happened.

There was a faint smile on the corners of her lips, but she became the biggest topic of discussion tonight. Although no one pointed the finger at her, the reason for everything she did tonight was mostly because of herself. After arriving in the palace, almost everything she did was aimed at Gu Qingcheng.

It was a good reception banquet, but it became a talent show. I sneered in my heart. If there are many beauties in the harem, Ning Yu must be distracted. The daughter of an important minister in the court has also become the balance point that restricts the previous court.

Looking up and gently looking at the two people on the seat, the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian's complexion changed slightly, she still maintained a dignified and decent smile, and looked at Ning Yu at the side. At this moment, his eyes also happened to collide with Gu Qingcheng's. Qingcheng moved away lightly, leaving only a faint smile, unable to see her inner feelings at all.

The Empress Dowager Xiaoxian glanced over all the women present, and the smile in her eyes gradually deepened. As long as this is the case, there will be more women in the harem, and Yu'er will gradually focus on other women, which may reduce the With a little love for Gu Qingcheng, he turned his head slightly, but saw that Ning Yu's eyes were looking at Gu Qingcheng who was seated under his seat. The deep meaning in his eyes was so strong that he wanted to color the night.

The sadness in his heart gradually deepened, and he slowly said: "This is Mrs. Zuo Xiang's daughter." His eyes were full of appreciation, and Zuo Xiang Lin Zhang got up when he heard the words.

Respectfully replied: "It's the little girl."

The Empress Dowager Xiaoxian said: "It is true that she is well-educated, gentle and gracious, and the Ai family likes it very much. What's his name?" Asked politely, the joy on Lin Zhang's face can be seen at a glance. , then there is no doubt that the opportunity is great.

Bowing his head again, his expression was still humble and respectful: "Little daughter Lin Muhua." Left Prime Minister Lin Zhang turned his head to look at his daughter, and said with joy in his eyes: "I haven't seen the Queen Mother yet."

"The courtiers see the empress dowager, may the empress dowager be in good health, and the emperor is blessed." The clear and beautiful voice, amidst the hustle and bustle of alcohol, seemed like a clear spring hitting people's hearts directly, and the beautiful face added to this cold night. A splash of color.

Lin Muhua, the daughter of the Prime Minister of the Left, won the favor of the Empress Dowager. Not only did she speak a lot during the banquet, but the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian would ask her about being a wife from time to time.The smile between the brows and eyes did not conceal the meaning.

For some reason, the conversation gradually faded away. The Empress Dowager Xiaoxian changed the subject and looked at Gu Shangkun, who was seated at the back, "Gu Shangshu." With one word, Gu Shangkun hurriedly stood up and stepped forward. Although the Southern Dynasty was defeated, he In the past, it was not subject to the Qing Dynasty, but now it has gradually become less repulsive. After all, there is a saying that is good for all people in the world, and it is the master that everyone in the world submits to.

"The minister is here." Gu Shangkun said humbly.

The hall became a little quiet for a moment, the empress dowager had just returned to court, and the first thing she did when she returned to court was tonight's draft. It can indeed be said that the imperial decree was issued, and the courtiers who attended the banquet were ordered to bring the women who had not left the court at home. It's not a draft, what would it be?
The reason why the emperor has been rejecting drafts and enriching the harem before is very simple, because there is only one person in the harem who favors Gu Shangkun's daughter, Gu Qingcheng. As soon as the empress dowager comes back, there may be rumors about going directly to Shangyang Palace. And this move is undoubtedly to weaken Gu Qingcheng's special favor in the harem.

"Gu Shangshu is also a pillar of talent, and he will serve the country well in the future." The first half of the sentence sounds fine, but in the next second, the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian changed the subject and said: "The Ai family heard that Gu Shangshu is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and the Ai family I want to know, which country's monarch Gu Shangshu is loyal to and which country is he in love with?" The tone was calm, but it was like cold water pouring down on his head, making people's hearts chill.

As soon as this remark came out, the sharp words went away, and all the important officials in the court knew that when the city was broken that day, Gu Shangkun would rather die than surrender, and even severed his father-daughter relationship with Gu Qingcheng on the spot, and was even imprisoned in the Shangshu Mansion. As for why they came back to court again, everyone was naturally ominous.

Gu Shangkun's expression did not change, he was still humble, and replied: "I am loyal to the king respected by the world, and I love the country loved by the world. As long as it is for the good of the people, what is the answer to the king of which country I am loyal to?"
