famous eldest daughter

Chapter 454
Xiao Yu left, but outside the gate of the Queen's Palace, a figure had been standing in the shadow of the tree branches, as firm as a rock.

The palace lantern shone on his face with the moonlight. I don't know whether it was because of the cold moonlight or something else, but there was a layer of smoke-like frost on his face. His handsome little face looked extra special because of this frost. The edges and corners are sharp, and even have a bit of the aura that is unique to soldiers on the battlefield, as if they have been polished by gravel.

The palm drooping from the cuff was clenched into a fist, with well-defined joints and an innocence.

The sleeves of the clothes are blown by the wind, and occasionally exposed to the light, they are faintly discernible, and they are beautiful dark patterns of stone blue.

His eyes were fixed on the door of the queen's palace for a moment, the expression in his eyes was indistinguishable from light to dark, and his red lips were pressed tightly into a thin and resolute line.

Following the maid's guidance all the way, Gu Yuqing stood in the Queen's bedroom after passing through several carved wooden doors that were folded in four in just one cup of tea.

Different from the warmth and peace of Concubine Hui, the queen's bedroom seems to have been deliberately created to create an atmosphere completely different from that of Concubine Hui. Needless to say, the lights are brightly lit like daytime, and the various furnishings also highlight the queen's dignity and grace.

Surrounded by pearls and emerald green, there is endless luxury, but although the treasures are good, they are not as good as they are. Instead, they add a bit of majesty to the interior, which makes it look cold and ruthless without a trace of warmth.

In his previous life, Gu Yuqing came to the queen's bedroom no less than several times and was already familiar with the furnishings there, but this was the first time in this life.

When she stood there, the queen had not yet come over. She glanced around the room calmly, and her eyes could not help but be attracted to the incense burner on a three-legged wooden table in the corner of the wall.

The censer is no different from ordinary censers. It is the most common octagonal cloisonné enamel censer in the palace. Such censers are basically found in every palace in the palace and can be seen everywhere.

Cigarettes curl up into the sky, filling the surrounding air. Because the doors and windows are wide open, the night breeze blows in with the scent of osmanthus, blowing away the smoke that has not yet risen into the air and turning it into nothing, and the smell it emits, It was also obscured by the floral and fruity aroma in the room.

In addition, the incense burner is located in a remote location. If you don't look carefully, you won't even feel that incense is burning in the house.

Based on the memory of her previous life, Gu Yuqing knew that the Queen did not like incense. The smoky smell brought by the incense made her sick to her stomach, so fragrant flowers and fruits were always placed in the room.

Her method can be described as fresh and elegant, prompting all the famous ladies in the capital to imitate her.

Staring at the incense burner, doubts in his heart were getting stronger. As he was thinking a lot, he heard a rustling sound coming from inside. Gu Yuqing turned around and looked over, and saw the rings jingling and figures flashing. The queen was holding her hands from left to right, caressing. Come out and ascend to the main seat in the palace.

The power of her natal family is already strong, and the queen is the eldest daughter of her parents. She has received extraordinary education since she was a child. Every move she makes carries a natural majesty. Coupled with the beatings and training in the harem over the years, that majesty , even more intense.

After sitting down, he did not raise his eyes to look at Gu Yuqing, as if he had disappeared, he took the cup of hot tea from the maid and drank it one sip after another.

There were no ups and downs in Gu Yuqing's heart. After bowing gracefully, she just stood there calmly, with a decent but not humble look on her face.

Because of all the previous events, the Queen and her had long been enemies. What's more, now that she was Concubine Hui's daughter-in-law-to-be, she and the Queen were even more incompatible.

It was perfectly normal for the queen to treat her like this.

She had made sufficient preparations before entering the palace, and now she was just trying to catch someone.

There was only a "clang" sound, the tea cup touched the table and made a sound. The queen finally finished the half cup of hot tea in her hand.

Gu Yuqing couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, pinched the hand with the veil, and applied a slight force, but her eyelashes did not move.

I thought to myself: Here it comes!His face was calm and peaceful.

The queen looked deeply at Gu Yuqing, the gold, silver, pearls and emeralds on her head trembled slightly with the movement of her putting down the teacup, and was illuminated by the burning candle, emitting a icy glamorous light.

But he opened his mouth with anger, "Why don't you bow to me when you see me? Is it possible that you think that His Majesty's imperial decree granted marriage, and by marrying Xiao Yu, you will be firmly seated in the position of the queen?"

As she said that, the queen sneered, with deep ridicule and contempt, "Don't say that Xiao Yu is incompetent. Even if he has the ability to let you become the queen, I am also the queen mother. When you meet me , you still have to salute and say hello."

Gu Yuqing didn't expect that the queen would pull the hair out of her head.

When the queen finished her words, she immediately gave a gentle blessing and said, "I don't dare. Just now, the empress sat down. I have already kowtowed and saluted. The empress may have not seen it because she was drinking tea." Her tone was clear and respectful, as if she were blooming in the sky. A snowdrop on the top of a snow-covered mountain.

The queen immediately let out a cold snort.

"Have you saluted? Since you have saluted, I haven't asked you to get up yet, why did you get up without permission? Who gave you the courage, are you despising me or disobeying me?" In the eyes of the queen, the anger that is bound to win bursts out, aggressive.

Gu Yuqing's expression remained unchanged and she simply said: "My daughter is frightened, and your Majesty's words are serious."

The queen's face became even more angry immediately. She picked up the tea cup in her hand and smashed it at Gu Yuqing's feet, causing porcelain shards to fly everywhere.

Pointing to the broken porcelain pieces at Gu Yuqing's feet, he said sternly: "Kneel down!" There was a faint light of resentment in his eyes, and his face was slightly twisted and ferocious due to the surge of anger, which was the same as when he came out just now. That grace and splendor are completely different from those of two people.

Gu Yuqing looked coldly at the sharp pieces of tea at her feet, and her heart was filled with surprise.

The Queen has always been a person who pays attention to means and strategies. What she is most proud of and values ​​most is her scheming that is almost unparalleled. Generally speaking, for the sake of her supreme glory and dignity, she will never get angry easily in front of others.

Zhi Xi plays all kinds of evil tricks in the dark.

But today...she opened her mouth with accusations, and now she was intensifying. Such straightforward making things difficult was just like those stupid, arrogant and arrogant people who are headless and brainless, which is not the queen's usual method at all.

If she lost her mind because of her anger, Gu Yuqing would never believe it. The only explanation is that her seemingly straightforward attempt to make things difficult was actually just a part of her strategy.

But Gu Yuqing couldn't guess what the next link connected to this link was.

His thoughts were turbulent, and he was frowning when the Queen's scolding voice came to his ears again, adding much more vicious resentment and anger than before.

"You are so brave. I ask you to kneel down. Do you dare not to kneel down?" After saying this, the Queen paused and said, "Come here, help me beat this ignorant Gu Yuqing until he kneels down."
