My husband is a traitor

Chapter 189 Relative, Familiar

"Gu Mingzhu!" Concubine Lian gently raised her wrist like a piece of white lotus root, and patted the palm of her hand on the nanmu table in front of her, smiling softly, appearing calm and majestic.She turned her head slightly and looked at Gu Mingzhu, who was sitting on an equal footing with her, her chest heaved slightly, her eyes flickered, "I am His Majesty's concubine, don't bully me too much!"

So what if it's the daughter of Duke Huguo's mansion, even if it's backed by the queen?

Concubine Lian cast a cold glance at the glamorous and impossibly bright Gu Mingzhu, with a sneer at the end of her eyes——

Even your aunt can't beat Ben Gong, a bratty girl, she is really daring!
When she slapped the table, everyone shivered slightly.Looking at Gu Mingzhu's still fearless and glamorous expression, one knows that this banquet has once again become a tearing drama for the women in high positions.

Jiang Linlang was completely an outsider, neither eating nor drinking, not caring, sitting there, glancing at the corner of her eyes, and took a handful of Jin Duojin, who was eating melon seeds, from the small pouch on her waist.I can't help but twitch my eyebrows and feel regretful in my heart. Don't say that this girl talks a lot, but she has a really good attitude...

Envious.

She also wants to sit by and eat melon seeds and watch the beauties bite dogs!
"The daughter of a mere official, who relies on her flirtatious skills to seduce the emperor, is she ashamed to put on airs in my aunt's territory? Chu Lian'er, I advise you to consider your own status before challenging me." Although Gu Mingzhu spoke harshly , but always maintains the attitude of everyone's daughter-in-law, even when interrogating Concubine Lian, she speaks from the position of the main chamber—the empress.

In this way, even though the ladies here do not agree on the surface, there are some people in their hearts who feel a little more contempt and disdain for this concubine Lian who is young and has no background but can continue to be honored and favored.

Especially the wives who have foxy sons at home, they nodded their heads secretly and silently supported Gu Mingzhu.

It has to be said that Gu Mingzhu has learned a few lessons since she was taught by Mrs. Gu, and after changing to a capable maidservant, her methods are also a bit better.

Sitting next to Concubine Lian, Jiang Linlang could hear the sound of the other party's silver teeth gnashing slightly, so it could be seen that she was very angry at Gu Mingzhu.

This Concubine Lian probably didn't want others to mention her humble background.

"Bengong's background is naturally inferior to that of Miss Gu, but now I am His Majesty's woman and the concubine in charge of the first palace. When Miss Gu sees Bengong, she has to salute and call Bengong 'Pity my concubine'" Miss Gu is almost eighteen now, but she is still such a child who does not know the truth. She is really a favorite of the family. The queen listened to what you said just now, and I am afraid she will be angry."

Concubine Lian took out her handkerchief and waved it symbolically under her nose, bringing a lingering fragrance.

Jiang Linlang held her breath...

Subconsciously, sorry.

"It's not enough for me to be angry, but Mingzhu, don't be so blunt next time. Concubine Lian has a soft temper. If it is serious, she will hurt her delicate body by getting angry, but it is your fault." At some point, The queen came back with the maid again.

She glanced at Jiang Linlang, who was beside Concubine Lian who was indifferent, and stayed on her skirt for a moment before moving away.

When looking at Concubine Lian in his eyes, there was an inaudible flash of a gloomy coldness.

After speaking softly and kindly, the person also walked to the upper seat, and sat down on the only main seat.

"The concubine has met the empress." Concubine Lian slightly pursed the corner of her lower lip, a sweet smile that was as cute as a delicate flower bloomed on her face, she blessed her body slightly, and bowed softly to the empress.

The queen just looked at her with a smile, with a very friendly and humble expression on her face.But no sound.

The queen didn't cry, but the smile on Concubine Lian's face froze slightly, and a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes.He could only maintain the posture of saluting, and a kind of humiliation surged from the bottom of his heart.

"What my aunt said is true, Mingzhu knows." Seeing this, Gu Mingzhu smiled complacently on her brows and eyes, and the corners of her lips curled up, sweetly responding to the Queen's previous words.

The empress looked at her tenderly, then as if she just remembered, she looked at Concubine Lian, who was still in a half-squatting position, her body was slightly unstable, and said angrily and gently, "Look at me, I forgot to call you Come on, Concubine Lian, you too, why can't you afford it yourself, and still salute."

As he spoke, he raised his hand as a gesture of excuse.

This move is quite mysterious.

All of them demonstrate the majesty and status of being a queen.Even if she is not favored by His Majesty, she is still in charge of the Six Palaces and holds the Phoenix Seal in her hand. She is still the mistress of this harem. Except for Your Majesty, anyone who sees her must salute and bow their heads.

Concubine Lian bit her lip, her lips that weren't red enough were even less bloody. Jiang Linlang saw on her side, Concubine Lian's hand hidden in her wide sleeve clenched tightly into a fist, with long nails embedded in her palm.

Jiao and Qu stood up trembling slightly, looking even more pitiful.

"Empress, you are the master of the harem. Without you, how would the concubine dare to do anything wrong? However, the concubine is not up to the mark. Your Majesty also said that the concubine is weak, so he is always reluctant to salute the concubine. Look at the concubine, this After a while, the legs became a little numb."

The queen's face, because of these words, instantly suppressed her smile, and her face sank for a moment.

But she just raised the cup, and used the movement of drinking tea to cover up the dark hatred in her eyes——

Damn little slut, how dare you respond to me like this!

Even if they are dull, they can see that the harmony between the two of them can no longer be maintained.

"I heard that Concubine Lian plays the qin very well. Many wives and ladies are in high spirits today, why not play Concubine Lian?" Gu Mingzhu saw that the Queen was holding back her anger, so she vented her anger on behalf of her aunt and her future mother-in-law. Suddenly said with a chuckle.

Fuqin?

Gu Mingzhu's light and light tone seemed to regard Concubine Lian as an entertainer for others, how could there be a concubine playing the piano for these ladies and ladies?
Sure enough, Concubine Lian's expression changed instantly, she looked at Gu Mingzhu with a half-smile, with knives in her eyes.Silver teeth flashed slightly, "Miss Gu is talking childishly again, you brought a concubine yourself here, and you didn't let her play the piano, how can you ask me, a person with ordinary piano skills, to make a fool of myself in front of all the wives and ladies? Yes, Your Majesty..."

When she mentioned "Your Majesty", she paused on purpose, lowered her head and said sweetly, "Your Majesty said that without his permission, I will not be allowed to play the piano in front of anyone other than him!"

Jiang Linlang suddenly froze——

This sound!
She seemed to remember why it was so familiar!

That coquettish and timid voice just now, with the sweet and coquettish voice of a little woman, isn't it just...

"Concubine Lian, you—"

It's just that Jiang Linlang's eyes rolled quickly, and when she carefully searched for the familiarity of the voice in her mind to compare, Gu Mingzhu's furious voice disrupted her train of thought.
