Chapter 92

Now that he is sick and wants to come to this chrysanthemum banquet, it seems that he is really charming.

Why didn't she think about it, was she a lowly concubine who said she could meet the emperor? !
Concubine Shu was very angry, her chest was heaving violently, Gu Liubai comforted her: "Sister, what are you fussing about with those girls from the Han family, you are not used to it, do you think..." She raised her finger Zhitian: "Can you get used to it? So it's better not to get our hands dirty, right?"

Concubine Shu clapped her hands and applauded: "My younger sister is still smart!" She raised the end of her eyes: "I want to see what this foxy girl can get for me today!"

The two chattered and turned to mahjong while talking about the topic.

Concubine Shu stretched out her fingers and nodded on Gu Liubai's head: "I don't know what my sister is doing in her head! I am so happy to play mahjong, but the maids in my palace are coaxing I'm not having much fun, next time we go to the empress's place to set up a table, how does my sister think?"

Gu Liubai could only respond, after all, she had someone make mahjong.

Everyone has invited, so how can I refuse.

After saying a few more words, the empress arrived late wearing a phoenix robe of bright imperial color.

"The concubine sees the empress, wish..."

Before finishing speaking, the queen interrupted Fuli's words by raising her hand: "Get up. We are all a family, and we just enjoy flowers, so there is no need to go through so much trouble."

That being said, Gu Liubai still insisted on performing the full salute in order not to fall into the trap of truth.

It's just that someone like Concubine Xian, who has children and is favored, puts on a show.

The queen glanced at it from the corner of her eye, her face remained calm, but her eyes were dimmed, and no one could know what she was thinking.

Gu Liubai quietly observed from the side, the gathering of people with different intentions is much more interesting than lying on the bed in a daze.

Enjoy the flowers, the scenery and the beauties.

Gu Liubai sat next to Concubine Shu, watching Wang Baochuan's performance on the opposite stage.

Seeing the red sun rise, the sky is sunny and warm in the east, welcome the wind and step on the morning dew to scoop out the vegetables.The poor have been looking forward to it since the winter solstice, counting on their fingers and counting until the end of spring.

Concubine Shu sneered from the side, although it was weak, it reached Gu Liubai's ears.

"What are you laughing at, sister?"

Concubine Shu took a sip of the chrysanthemum wine: "I just think it's ridiculous!"

Gu Liubai's eyes flicked across everyone one by one.

Some were crying, and some were happy for Wang Baochuan, but there were really not many who were as happy and angry as Concubine Shu.

"Sister, it's just for watching a show, can you still take it seriously?"

Concubine Shu picked up the crab meat dug for her by the lady in the palace with a silver bag, and after taking a small bite, she said slowly, "Do you know how outsiders evaluate Wang Baochuan?"

Gu Liubai shook his head.

If she is asked to look at it with the thinking of modern people, she thinks it is not worth it.People live to live, and love is just the seasoning of life.

Life without love may lack a little taste, but how do you know that a child is not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish?
"Outsiders say that Wang Baochuan keeps his promises. Although he is a rich lady, he is not squeamish. But in my eyes, this is really funny."

"First laugh, Wang Baochuan is the prime minister's daughter, and the people who are begging to go are afraid that they will have to line up outside the city from the mansion. Do you need to throw a hydrangea ball to recruit relatives? Even if the play says that Wang Baochuan does not admire power, does not greedy for vanity, and the children of the nobles have their own children. Everyone is full of wine bags and rice bags, so let the prime minister catch the son-in-law! Besides..."

Gu Liubai saw that Concubine Shu became more and more excited as she spoke, and there was no room for her to intervene, so he knew that she just wanted an audience.

So holding a cup of hot tea, he quietly listened to her talk.

The queen also lacked interest in the play. When looking around, she met Gu Liubai's eyes in mid-air, smiled at each other and then left.

The more Concubine Shu spoke, the angrier she became, her voice was unavoidably louder.

At this time, the emperor walked in from outside the pavilion, playing with a string of rosary beads, and with a smile on his face, he asked in a deep voice, "What is Concubine Shu talking about?"

A large group of crows fell to their knees, and Gu Liubai also knelt on the ground with the large group.

"Get up." The emperor sat on the seat vacated by the empress, "Today, the empress is hosting a banquet, so there is no need to be so formal."

After finishing speaking, he turned his eyes to Gu Liubai: "Are you Concubine Hui?"

Gu Liubai saluted with a half-bend, and replied: "Yes, the concubine is Concubine Hui."

"Not bad, it seems that the body has been raised well."

After speaking, he raised his eyes to look at the stage in front of him, and pointed to the costume the woman was wearing: "Where did this show come from?"

"Returning to the emperor, I found a troupe from outside the palace. The name of the song is Wang Baochuan."

The queen replied, and the servants below quickly moved out a chair beside the emperor for her. She just sat down and wanted to say something more.

The emperor turned his face to look at Concubine Shu: "I remember Concubine Shu loves watching these plays the most, what were you talking about just now with Concubine Hui?"

Concubine Shu stood up shyly, with a bit of embarrassment on her face.

"Back to the emperor, my concubine and concubine Hui are talking about this drama, but I just feel that the script is a bit inappropriate."

The emperor laughed, and Gu Liubai quickly looked up at the other party.

His figure is very thin, with sunken eye sockets, one or two age spots appear faintly on the skin, and the skin on his neck is a little loose, which is not good-looking, but his eyes are particularly conspicuous.

Generally, the eyeballs of older people are a little cloudy, but his eyes were pitch black.

Last time in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, because the other party sat with his back to the light, the contours of his face could not be seen clearly under the halo.

Unlike now, there were so many people, even if he felt eyes on him, he didn't know it was her.

"What's wrong? Concubine Shu, come and listen."

Many people secretly hated being robbed of the limelight by Concubine Shu, twisting the veil in their hands with their slender fingers.

Gu Liubai was thinking about how Concubine Shu would answer, if she wanted to tell the emperor exactly what she just said, that would be really stupid!
After all, some words fell into the king's ears, but it didn't take so long!

"Your Majesty, this concubine just thinks that Wang Baochuan is too stupid. I am sorry for the emperor's kindness, and I am not filial to my parents. You know, the prime minister finally raised a daughter, that is..."

Seeing Concubine Shu's words getting more and more outrageous, Gu Liubai hurriedly stood up.

"Your Majesty, there is a strong wind by the lake, and the concubine feels a little unwell, so I will make a special apology and leave first, and I hope the Emperor will give me permission."

The emperor glanced at her lightly, and the smile on his face was somewhat unpredictable.

Looking back, he only looked down at the cups of chrysanthemum wine on the table.

"Concubine Hui."

"My concubine is here."

"Since you are sick, go back and rest."

Before Gu Liubai thanked him, he drank the wine glass in his hand, only to hear a ding dong, and the glass was smashed to the ground by him.

The crows all knelt on the ground again immediately.

I only heard him commit suicide on the top and said: "From now on, don't sing in this play again, the woman should be more careful with Hui Zhilan!"

"Yes, the concubines follow the emperor's teachings, and will never forget them!"
