Ten Miles of Red Makeup

Chapter 52
In the Anhua Palace, there are ordinary decorations all around, which looks like ordinary people's homes. Seeing this, Gu Qingcheng's mood fluctuated.

Empress Dowager Xiaoxian came out slowly from the back hall, dressed in homely clothes, not luxurious at all, but it made people feel warm, very much like the indifferent appearance of Gu Qingcheng's mother Yan Yuping, Gu Qingcheng felt a little kind in his heart.

Gu Qingcheng said a little blessing to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother's gentle voice could not detect any emotion: "Get up."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Upright, facing the faint gaze of Empress Xiaoxian, Gu Qingcheng smiled.

Gossip is commonplace, it seems that the letter from the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian just asked her to come to the Anhua Palace for a walk, but Gu Qingcheng knew that since entering the palace for so long, Ning Yu had seen the Empress Dowager only a handful of times, she definitely would not just look for It's homely by myself.

Out of the corner of Empress Dowager Xiaoxian's eye, she saw a pomegranate blooming in full bloom, and Gu Qingcheng understood that the pomegranate had many seeds, and the fact that there was musk in her palace must have been passed on to Empress Dowager Xiaoxian.

The Empress Dowager Xiaoxian put away her chattering and homely expression, and said seriously: "Why is there musk in your palace?" Sure enough, Gu Qingcheng nodded. From the gossip just now, she already knew that the Empress Dowager is a person with a clear mind. The excuses that can be explained to Ning Yu will definitely not work in the ears of the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, and most of them are women, and the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian has gone through two dynasties, so how can she be easily fooled.

"Go back to the empress dowager, my concubine..." Before Gu Qingcheng finished speaking, the maid who was guarding outside came in to report.

"Empress Dowager, the king is coming up." Empress Dowager Xiaoxian did not change her face, but she did not speak in a vague way.

Gu Qingcheng thought about it for a while, and said: "The empress dowager, Wang, actually misses the empress dowager very much."

There was a trace of tenderness in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, and she said to the maid who came in: "Tell the king to come in, the sun is so strong outside, be careful of heatstroke."

Between the halls, Ning Yu walked in lightly, "Mother's queen."

Empress Dowager Xiaoxian's complexion changed, and she just said lightly: "When you become a king, you can't mess around." The words were not loud, but the meaning of punishment could be seen.

"I know that the empress is worried about the empress, how is the empress doing?" Ning Yu said, very respectful, he really cared about the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian.

"The queen mother is fine, but the king, although the court affairs are busy, you should also pay attention to the harem. The harem is peaceful, and the king can be at ease in the front court." After the empress dowager Xiaoxian finished speaking, she glanced at Gu Qingcheng shallowly.

"My son knows that it will definitely make the harem get along well." Ning Yu was very filial to the empress dowager, and Gu Qingcheng seemed to be a bystander, just sitting quietly by the side, slightly bowing his head.

Empress Dowager Xiaoxian said: "The empress is the head of the harem, so she must set an example. Those gossips should not be heard in the ears of the Ai family. You must know how important a woman's reputation is, especially if she is a respectable person."

Empress Dowager Xiaoxian was talking about the incident of Yue Nong half a month ago, the emperor was alarmed, how can she, the empress dowager, not know the reason.

Gu Qingcheng bowed his head, and replied respectfully: "The ministers and concubines should remember it in their hearts."

"It's good to keep it in your heart. You must never become someone else's talk again. If it spreads out, it will have a bad influence on the king. As the king's concubine, you should consider it for the king." What the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian said was extremely Reasonably, Gu Qingcheng just responded solemnly, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Ning Yu said: "I'm bothering my mother. This matter is just a trivial matter. It has been clarified, and there will be no rumors."

As soon as these words came out, unexpectedly, a slight anger appeared on the peaceful face of the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian: "You are the king, this kind of thing, whether it exists or not, is a bad thing, it is not a trivial matter, One of you is the supreme king of the world, and the other is the queen of the mother world, is such a trivial matter?"

Gu Qingcheng got up, knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said: "What the queen mother said is very true, and I understand."

The Empress Dowager Xiaoxian's face was slightly calm, and she said: "Get up, don't kneel down, just remember it in your heart. Also, it is a duty for a woman to have children. Since she is the only one who is favored, she must have something. How do you clarify the matter of Musk?"

Gu Qingcheng's heart turned cold, heir, she will definitely not conceive Ning Yu's child.She was silent, but Ning Yu spoke up: "My mother is serious, it is ordinary spices, but the fragrance is stronger, it tastes like musk, and the green wood has been broken.

That musk, but Aoki told Ning Yu himself, Ning Yu must know better than anyone else in his heart, Aoki's medical skills, that musk, how could he make a mistake, he naturally understands, Gu Qingcheng told him those concerns, in In the bottom of the queen mother's heart, she will definitely not become anything.Gu Qingcheng knew better whether it was Musk or not.

Standing up tremblingly, Gu Qingcheng was a little hesitant. Seeing Ning Yu say this, he felt relieved, and said: "It's the fault of the concubine, which made the Queen Mother worry."

"It's fine if you make a mistake, there can't be that thing in the palace, you just keep it in mind." Empress Dowager Xiao Xian retreated a little bit of anger, and continued: "That child Qingmu has come into the palace?"

Ning Yu said: "Yes, it's just that he's out of the palace now." So, it's no wonder he didn't see him. When Gu Qingcheng heard Aoki's name, the face of an ordinary scholar flashed in his mind, but when he was looking at Gu Qingcheng, There didn't seem to be much respect in his eyes, but rather, he seemed to repel her a bit.

"I went out of the palace again in such a hurry. I heard that his current medical skills are very superb, and it can be regarded as a success in his studies." Listening to the words of Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, thinking about it, she also admired Aoki very much.

Ning Yu replied: "The divine doctor is now another name for Aoki, but he has made some achievements." Ning Yu couldn't hide the pleasure in his expression. There must be something between him, Aoki, Tang Feng, and the three of them. The deep-seated love, Aoki did not call King Ning Yu, but directly called the name. The love in it must be not shallow. When the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian mentioned him, Gu Qingcheng just hoped that he would not have anything to do with him in the future. The friction is good.

Empress Dowager Xiaoxian pondered for a while, and said: "I won't say much about the Ai family next to me. Today is mainly because of the rumors that the harem came in. The previous dynasty was dissatisfied with what the middle palace did. The king also needs to go to the palaces more often. , don't let the caring people make a fuss about those things again. It's good to love, but it needs to be rained and dewed at the right time. Special pets will only push her to the forefront, which is even more unfavorable. You are naturally the queen of extreme love, The Ai family also knows it well, but there are not many concubines in this harem, and it is time for the king to think about the matter of drafting, and choose more virtuous people to enrich the court." The Empress Dowager Xiaoxian made a pun, and Gu Qingcheng understood it. Although the Empress Dowager spoke harshly on the surface, there was a little partiality towards her in her heart.

Gu Qingcheng and Ning Yu said in unison: "My concubine, my son understands."

The Empress Dowager Xiaoxian said lightly: "It's good to understand, the Ai family is exhausted, so you should kneel down first." Looking at the maid standing aside, she said: "Xing'er, help the Ai family to go in and rest."

After leaving the Anhua Hall, Gu Qingcheng let go of the worries in his heart and looked at Ning Yu with guilt on his brows. Regarding the matter of Musk, Ning Yu prevaricated, and the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian naturally would not ask any more questions.
