Concubine Yao, you are too presumptuous!

Chapter 8 The Battle of Words

Gong Xianqing's body recovered well, and she could walk around. The first thing she did was of course to pay her respects to the Queen and the Queen Mother.

It's just a surprise that Nan Qianmo is not in Fengluan Palace today.

"The Empress Dowager has gone to the Hall of Harmony to discuss matters with the Emperor."

The maid of Fengluan Palace replied in this way, Gong Xianqing felt bored, so she wanted to walk around the Imperial Garden.

But in the Imperial Garden, I saw Concubine Yu and Empress Shu Ping talking face to face.

Gong Xianqing took a few steps closer, and was able to hear the conversation clearly.

"Queen, the concubine obviously saw this flower first."

Concubine Yu pointed to the pink peony flower, which she wanted to pick to make scented tea.

"But the maid of the palace picked it first."

Ge Shuping fought back, Gong Xianqing looked amused, how could you usually see Ge Shuping acting like this.

"It's not a gentleman to steal someone's favor!"

Concubine Yu was anxious, originally she didn't care about such a flower, but when she saw Ge Shuping's half-smile, she became anxious.

"I am a woman, so naturally I am not a gentleman."

Ge Shuping was still pervasive, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Gong Xianqing discovered that a weak person can also have a bright charm when he smiles, and there are people who usually look cute and weaker than himself, there are such Such a playful side.

"Queen, as a sister, should you give up your sister?"

Concubine Yu gritted her teeth angrily, but still showed a smile that was neither salty nor light.

"Concubine Yu, have you ever heard that the elders and younger are orderly?"

Ge Shuping smiled lightly, as soon as she said this, she saw Concubine Yu's face turned red.

"Tweety."

Ge Shuping called Tweety, and Tweety understood, and handed the pink peony in the basket to Ge Shuping.

"I was only joking just now, sister don't mind."

Gong Xianqing almost laughed out loud, this brother Shu Ping was not only mischievous, but also good-looking, seeing Concubine Yu's face getting redder, this man had never suffered such a downfall.

Seeing Concubine Yu evoking an evil smile, she suddenly leaned over and hugged Ge Shuping, and whispered a few words into her ear.

"People are more beautiful than flowers, so I want people more."

The warm and fragrant breath blew into Ge Shuping's ears, and Concubine Yu could see Ge Shuping's ears turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then she left Ge Shuping's embrace with a smile.

"Thank you queen, it's just that a gentleman doesn't take what others like, so the concubine will leave first."

Concubine Yu reversed Ge Shuping's army in the last move, and Ge Shuping blushed, looking at the back of the man leaving, she couldn't recover.

"Your Majesty, what did Concubine Yu tell you just now?"

Cui'er on the side asked curiously, while Ge Shuping shook his head and sighed.

"Nothing, let's go back to the palace."

Hearing that Concubine Yu became lively and cheerful after being ill, it is true to see her this time, and her behavior is a little more evil...

Seeing the two leaving, Gong Xianqing felt that the play was over, but when she was about to leave, her ears moved, she gave up moving and just stood still.

Just when Ning'er was about to ask what happened to Gong Xianqing, a cold voice came from behind.

"Concubine Yao."

Gong Xianqing's delicate body trembled, as if frightened, she turned her head immediately, and saw Nan Qianmo surrounded by at least five or six court ladies.

"The concubine sees the queen mother."

Ning'er immediately followed suit, and Nan Qianmo looked behind Gong Xianqing, but didn't see anyone, but obviously this person seemed to be fascinated by it.

"What were you looking at?"

Nan Qianmo asked curiously, this person came out for a walk to enjoy the wind as soon as he recovered from his illness, and stayed in the imperial garden for so long, so he really didn't know how to take care of his body.

"Concubine Yu and the Empress were chatting just now, and they found the conversation interesting, so they couldn't help listening engrossed."

Gong Xianqing replied obediently, while Nan Qianmo lowered her eyes and smiled lightly: "It's not a gentleman's job to eavesdrop like this."

Gong Xianqing was stunned when he heard it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Concubines are just women, not gentlemen."

Hearing this, Nan Qianmo choked, and Yun Ran who was beside him also chuckled, it was good to see Nan Qianmo deflated.

"It seems that Concubine Yao is in good spirits."

Nan Qianmo still had that dignified demeanor, walked up to Gong Xianqing, and continued: "Why don't you accompany Ai's family for a walk!"

Nan Qianmo seemed to completely ignore what Gong Xianqing said just now, her face was as cold as ever, Gong Xianqing responded, and followed Nan Qianmo, walking with her in the imperial garden.

"The matter of Longzhou has already been investigated."

Nan Qianmo said softly, and Gong Xianqing's delicate body paused, but instantly understood what Nan Qianmo meant.

"Um…"

There was no extra words, Gong Xianqing just responded softly, Nan Qianmo turned her head, but saw that the man did not follow, but stared at a peony with bright red petals and white heart in a daze.

"Concubine Yao, what's wrong?"

Nan Qianmo walked over, and before Nan Qianmo could react, Gong Xianqing picked off the peony flower, and put the flower on Nan Qianmo's hair in full view.

"you…"

Nan Qianmo took a step back and was about to pluck the flower when she heard Gong Xianqing's mellow and lingering voice.

"This flower is very like you, Queen Mother."

Gong Xian paused for a moment, pointed to the flower and continued: "The outside is glamorous, domineering and beautiful, but the inside is very soft."

When Nan Qianmo heard this, she frowned slightly, raised her hand to take down the flower, and held it in the palm of her hand.

"Thank you Concubine Yao for your compliment, it's just that the bright red color is sometimes not a glamorous appearance..."

Nan Qianmo sighed softly, bent down and put the peony in his hand back to the place where he picked it just now, and continued: "It's a white dress stained red with blood."

Nan Qianmo caressed the bright red petals and said, "The whiteness of the flower heart is not soft..."

Nan Qianmo smiled lightly, signaling Gong Xianqing to continue walking, and Gong Xianqing had a flash of coldness in her eyes, listening intently to Nan Qianmo's words.

"It's pale without emotion."

At this time, Gong Xianqing stepped forward and took Nan Qianmo's arm, but Nan Qianmo paused, looking at Gong Xianqing in confusion.

"Queen, don't always be so pessimistic about many things, or you will miss what you shouldn't."

Gong Xianqing let go of Nan Qianmo's arm, then lowered her head obediently, and said, "The concubine is being rude."

Nan Qianmo shook her head, walking among the colorful flowers, she was still so dazzling.

"Anyway, thanks for the reminder."

On that day, Gong Xianqing walked with Nan Qianmo in the imperial garden, chatting without saying a word, and she lost the vigilance that she had to follow every step since entering the palace.

After Gong Xianqing recovered from his illness, Emperor Wen would sleep in Chengtian Palace whenever he had time. In addition, the last time he went on a tour in incognito, except for the queen, he only brought Gong Xianqing a concubine, which caused another undercurrent in the harem.

"emperor."

Nan Qianmo closed her eyes tightly, passing the rosary beads one by one between her fingers.

"If you don't want Concubine Yao to get into big troubles, the emperor's better off with rain and dew."

If the tone was still discussing last time, this time Nanqianmo directly used the tone of order. Even though Gong Xianqing had no intention of fighting, she was always in the vortex of fighting. The emperor's excessive favor would only push her into the abyss.

"The queen mother...the love of the imperial family...can't it be like ordinary people?"

Emperor Wen lowered his eyes, feeling uncomfortable in his heart. He just wanted to spoil someone he liked, but in the royal family, this kind of liking has become a luxury.

"The emperor... Aijia told you a long time ago."

Nan Qianmo opened her beautiful eyes, looking forward, but there was always a little chill.

"The imperial family has no love."

There is no love in the royal family. Even the first emperor who treated him very well, Nan Qianmo has no affection for him, only the kindness of husband and wife. Why is the first emperor not? It is his bargaining chip for the emperor.

The royal family has only interests.

"My son understands."

Emperor Wen heaved a long sigh. The imperial family can have everything, but the most common love among the people, the love of brothers, the love of men and women, and the love of relatives, are what they can't ask for.

"Qi Zhen..."

Nan Qianmo never called Emperor Wen by his name after he ascended the throne, and today was the first time.

"Sometimes you have a limit to advance and retreat, and for Concubine Yao, it is protection."

Emperor Wen nodded heavily, and said, "I understand."

Since that day, Emperor Wen listened to Nan Qianmo's words and stopped going to Chengtian Palace to sleep, and the place where he stayed was different every time, so that the concubine who had not been favored for a long time was comforted, and the empress brother Shu Ping also prepared A lot of gifts were sent to the concubines in each palace, saying that it was from Emperor Wen, in order to calm down the undercurrent in the harem.

Chengtian Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor hasn't come for a while."

Ning'er looked at the quiet Chengtian Palace, usually when Emperor Wen came, he would always bring a few maids and eunuchs to chat with him, but now when Emperor Wen didn't come, it became boring.

"Ah."

Gong Xianqing just responded lightly, as if what Ning Er said had nothing to do with her.

"Mother~"

Ning'er looked at Gong Xianqing's indifferent look, and she became even more anxious. This is simply a typical emperor who is not in a hurry and eunuchs are in a hurry.

"Ning'er, everything must be reversed, and I don't want to make so many enemies unintentionally."

Gong Xianqing looked at the women's book and felt her eyes hurt, so she closed the book again.

"You have nothing to do, Ning'er, why don't I teach you how to play the piano!"

When Gong Xianqing said this, Ning'er, who had been in a bad mood, immediately regained her spirits, said hello a few times, and immediately took out the piano.

Gong Xianqing asked Ning'er to sit face to face with her, let her watch her movements carefully, and taught her the gestures when playing the piano.

"This is Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu."

Gong Xianqing played the fifth note, seeing Ning'er's fascinated look, chuckled lightly, and played it again.

"Ready?"

Gong Xianqing raised her eyes to look at Ning'er's serious face, and saw her nodding her head, so she gave her the piano.

"Play it again, too."

Gong Xianqing stood up, watching Ning'er's jerky movements to play out the notes one by one, Gong Xianqing smiled lightly and said, "Ning'er learns really fast."

"This is what the empress taught well!"

As he spoke, he heard a familiar yet annoying voice coming from outside the door.

"Sister is really a master and servant!"

Gong Xianqing's eyebrows twitched, and she made Ning'er stand up. She immediately changed her smiling face and said, "I don't know if Sister Li Concubine is visiting, I'm sorry."

"Slaves see the concubine Li."

Ning'er also bowed her body, but her eyes did not fall on Concubine Li at all.

"I heard that the emperor hasn't come to my sister's place for quite some time."

Concubine Li ignored Gong Xianqing, found a seat and sat down.

"Ah."

Gong Xianqing didn't say much, just thinking about it with her fingers, she knew that Concubine Li was here to demonstrate.

"The emperor went to my palace last night."

After Concubine Li finished speaking, there was a smug smile on the corner of her mouth, and Gong Xianqing only showed a faint smile, and said: "Well, my sister is beautiful, with both virtue and skill, it is common sense to win the emperor's mercy .”

Concubine Li sneered a few times, Gong Xianqing was impeccable as always, she wanted to stir up some troubles, but this person was not wavered in the slightest.

"I heard that my sister often runs to the queen mother, it's really a good idea, I don't know how much my sister blows into the queen mother's ears."

Li Fei's words seemed like a thorn in Gong Xianqing's heart. It was fine if she didn't mention Nan Qianmo, but when she mentioned it, it was as if a needle had been planted in her heart.

"My sister went to the Empress Dowager just to say hello, and I probably know who the Empress Dowager is. If I have time to guess what kind of wind my sister is blowing, I might as well think about how to keep the emperor's heart. You must know how ruthless the royal children are. It would be bad if one day my sister's Yuanxi Palace is as deserted as Chengtian Palace."

It was rare for Gong Xianqing to fight back, and immediately made Concubine Li very angry, she stood up and pointed at Gong Xianqing "you" a few times, but still couldn't say a complete sentence.

"It seems that my sister is not feeling well, please take good care of her body and walk slowly."

There was still a pleasant smile on the corner of Gong Xianqing's mouth, which made Li Fei even more angry, her clenched fists were covered with veins.

"Okay...Okay, Gong Xianqing, let's ride a donkey to read the account book and wait and see!"
