Chapter 690
The emperor thought, this is not the reason. Could it be that if he wants to leave at that time, who else would dare to stop him?Just take it as a way to save face for the mother, and save her from failing to achieve her goal today. The next time she sees her, she will have to talk about it.

Then he nodded and said: "Then I'll go and see Mrs. Gu. It's getting late, and the queen mother has a rest earlier. Tomorrow, my son will come to pay my respects to the queen mother."

Empress Dowager Luo smiled instantly, and said: "You have so many things to do every day, how come you have so much time to come to Ai's house every day, as long as you are thinking about Ai's house all the time, that's enough, go."

The emperor was surrounded by people led by Gao Yuwang, and drove to Gu Meiren's palace.

Gu Meiren's palace is not far from Shoukang Palace, it is a small courtyard, but there are five main rooms and three wing rooms for east and west.

Gao Yuwang sang loudly at the gate of Gu Meiren's palace: "The emperor is here—" But he didn't see Gu Meiren come out to meet him, nor did the eunuchs and maids come out for a long time, so he couldn't help but cursed secretly, where did everyone die, they were lazy , or seeing that the emperor has never been to them, it is just that my ears have misheard?
Just as he was about to sing again, the emperor said: "No need, just go in." Dang walked into the courtyard first, and was so focused on seeing Gu Meiren earlier that he left to go back to Chonghua Hall earlier.

But seeing that there was no one in the yard, it was fine, and there should be maids standing at the door of the main room at any time, but there was no sign of anyone, the emperor couldn't help but get a little angry, Gu Meiren is no longer treated by him, she is also his official concubine, when will Is it the servant's turn to behave like this?Even if he doesn't want to see Gu Meiren, she is still protected by the Queen Mother. Those servants are so contemptuous of her, don't they even think of the Queen Mother?
The emperor waved his hand to order the others to stand still, and he led Gao Yuwang into Gu Meiren's room, wanting to see what Gu Meiren was doing now, and whether his speculation just now was true?

The emperor is very defensive, he can abuse his people, but he will never allow others to abuse him, especially these others are servants.

But I saw Gu Meiren sitting on the couch by the window, reading a book in her hand, she was only dressed in a homely pea green beanie and aqua blue skirt, her hair was only loosely pulled up in a bun, with a slanted hairpin. I bought a shiny suet jade hairpin, although it doesn't look very beautiful, but it has a bookish look, which makes people feel very comfortable.

It's just that Xu was too attentive, the emperor came in for a while, but Gu Meiren didn't notice, so Gao Yuwang could only pretend to cough a few times, and then said: "Gu Meiren, the emperor is here, why don't you pick him up soon?"

When Gu Meiren heard this, Fang raised her head in confusion, and then her face was filled with surprise, but the surprise only lasted for a moment, and it disappeared. The emperor: "The concubines respectfully welcome the emperor. I don't know if the emperor will be here at this time, but if there is anything to tell the concubines, the emperor doesn't need to come here in person, just send a father-in-law or aunt in front of the imperial court to talk to the concubines. "

The emperor was very satisfied with Gu Meiren's sense of taste, he brushed off his clothes and sat in the seat where she had just sat, and said, "Get up. Could it be that I have no order, so I can't come over?"

Gu Meiren hurriedly got up and smiled and said: "Your Majesty is the lord of the world, so you can go wherever you want, it's my concubine who made a mistake. Please sit down for a while, and let my concubine go and make a cup of tea with the emperor."

"No need, I will leave after a few words." The emperor waved his hand and frowned, "Why do you have to do it yourself to make tea? Where are the maids and eunuchs in your house? I didn’t see any of them, do they feel uncomfortable working here with you, and want to change to Shen Xingsi?”

Gu Meiren hurriedly knelt down again: "The emperor calm down, it's not like this, the concubine thinks they are arguing in a panic, and I told them early in the morning that no one is allowed to come to the front when they have nothing to do or when they don't scream... "The embarrassment flashed across his face as he said, "The emperor also knows that the concubine was originally a court lady, and she has long been used to doing everything by herself. If I let the concubine open his mouth and stretch out his hand, the concubine would feel uncomfortable."

Hearing the words, the emperor calmed down a little, nodded and said: "That's all, I just heard from the queen mother that today is your birthday? Has the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent you a birthday gift as usual?"

Gu Meiren hurriedly said: "It was delivered early in the morning, there is the empress dowager to protect the concubines, no one dares to neglect the concubines, please rest assured the emperor."

The emperor nodded again, and suddenly didn't know what to say to Gu Meiren, so he simply turned his head and told Gao Yuwang: "I will pass on my will, the beauty Gu is gentle and virtuous, and her filial piety is commendable. Now I am a noble concubine and give her to live in Yilan Hall, hereby!"

Gao Yuwang hurriedly responded, and the emperor said to Gu Guipin: "I still have to go to the Qianyuan Hall to read the papers, and I will come to see you tomorrow when I have free time." He got up and wanted to leave.

It just so happened that two of Concubine Gu's personal maids brought in a food box, and said with a smile as they walked, "My lord, the servants and servants will join in and ask the master of the imperial dining room to make you a few lucky dishes. The meaning is very good." To congratulate you on your birthday, you will have to eat all of them later, so as not to be in vain to the servants..."

Without saying a word, seeing the emperor who never expected to appear in the womb of their lord was actually in the room, they were all shocked, hurriedly put down the food box, both kneeled down, and said tremblingly: "The servants have seen the emperor, my emperor Long live Long live Long live!"

The emperor said "hmm": "Get up!" Noticing the food box in the hands of the two of them, for some reason, he unexpectedly asked Gu Guipin, "It's already this hour, and you haven't had dinner yet?"

Concubine Gu Gui replied in embarrassment: "Yes, the maids and eunuchs in the concubine's palace knew that today is the concubine's birthday, so they agreed with the concubine early in the morning to join in the concubine's banquet... so it was delayed until here meeting."

"Participating?" The emperor smiled and said, "This is new, it's the first time I've heard this saying in the palace."

One of Gu Guifei's two personal maids was smarter, and when she heard this, she hurriedly interjected with a smile: "Back to the emperor, the young master treats the servants very well, and the servants have nothing else to do for the young master. That's why I came up with such an idea, and made the emperor laugh. But today, the master cooks in the imperial dining room put all their heart into the dishes, and the emperor might as well keep some of them, so it is our little master's It's an honor, and it's even more an honor for the servants."

The emperor showed a bit of hesitation on the surface, because he really had a good impression of Gu Guibi, and felt that she was not like other women in his harem, who would sway her head and pose in different ways to invite favor when she saw him. Fortunately, when he saw them, she was really Not much, otherwise there is still a feeling of anxiety in my heart.

Gao Yuwang is an expert at observing words and expressions. Seeing the emperor like this, he knew that he was a little bit tempted, so he hurriedly smiled and said to the maid who spoke just now: "What is the girl still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and set the table and chopsticks?"

It was said that Gu Guibi's master and servants were all overjoyed, Gu Guibi hurriedly led the people to do a lot of work, and then placed the emperor on the master's seat, while she was accompanying him.
