Chapter 304 The Emperor's Temptation (1)
Gu Qingmei stepped across the threshold side by side with Murong Yu with a solemn demeanor.

There is a screen made of red sandalwood at the door, and when you go around the screen, you can see a bronze incense burner in the huge sleeping hall, with white smoke coming out of it, exuding a strong smell of sandalwood .

In the room, there were a dozen or so young women dressed in court attire and delicately made up, standing silently on both sides like wooden figures, with their heads slightly lowered.

There was a goose-yellow gauze hanging on the beams, a court lady came over silently, lined up on both sides, lifted up the gauze, and put it down again after everyone passed by.

After passing through three layers of light gauze, a pink crystal bead curtain suddenly appeared in front of her.

Eunuch Xi stopped outside the crystal bead curtain, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the general and madam have arrived."

"Let them in!" A soft and pleasant voice sounded from inside the bead curtain. This voice seemed to have a strange magical power, which could soothe people's hearts, like a clear spring flowing through people's hearts.

Two little palace maids came forward and raised the bead curtains on one left and one on the right, revealing a woman sitting behind the bead curtains.

This girl was born as beautiful as a peach and plum, bright and moving, with a pink face, extremely delicate makeup, slender eyebrows, carefully drawn by Luo Zidai, a pair of slender phoenix eyes, squinting slightly, a tall and straight nose, and a cherry-like mouth fruit, dotted with pink rouge.

Her long black hair was tied high in a three-ringed bun, and she wore a seven-tailed pearl phoenix hairpin in the center, and a huge east bead hung on her forehead, shining brightly.

She was wearing a dark purple round-necked, two-breasted, tufted-flower palace dress, lined with a brown skirt, and a long string of green jade beads hung around her neck.

The two walked in under her smiling gaze. Although it was the first time for Gu Qingmei to enter the palace, her posture was leisurely and full of style, without the slightest feeling of a country bumpkin looking around from a small family. .

A little servant girl placed a prayer mat in front of the two of them, and they both knelt down and said together: "Greetings to the empress!"

"Get up!" Concubine Chun spoke very slowly, and stretched out her hand to Gu Qingmei. "Come here, let me see!"

After getting up, Murong Yu stared at a green jade screen behind Concubine Chun with her sharp eyes, but she didn't speak, but stood aside with a slightly gloomy gaze.

With Su Chenqing's support, Gu Qingmei stood up, with a smile on her face, she walked towards Concubine Chun, and after standing still in front of Concubine Chun, she handed over her hands for Concubine Chun to hold.

Concubine Chun gently held her hand, lowered her head, and looked at her hands.

Before the accident happened to Lu Qingmei's body, she had done a lot of rough work, so her hands had calluses, but after more than a year of maintenance, it was much better. Apart from a thin layer of calluses, there was no dryness, peeling or cracks on her hands. .

Concubine Chun looked at her hand and said with a smile: "Poor Jianer, it's hard for you to marry our brother Yu, the king of Hades."

Gu Qingmei smiled and said: "The general is very good to me, please don't worry, my lady."

"You don't have to speak for him. He is my nephew. I watched him grow up when I was a child. I don't know what kind of temper he is?" Concubine Chun glanced at Murong Yu who was standing aside with a smile on her lips. Said angrily.

"For his marriage these years, my hair is almost graying, but this kid doesn't care. You have to take good care of him in the future, don't let him cause trouble again, I don't want to wipe his ass again gone."

Gu Qingmei smiled, "It is said that my aunt loves my nephew, and it is the general's blessing to have a lady who takes care of everything for the general."

"Look at this little mouth, how good at talking, no wonder when the fourth concubine came to the palace, she praised you for being smart and capable whenever she mentioned you to me."

Gu Qingmei replied with a smile: "Let the fourth prince and concubine praise you absurdly, but they are just clever and can't get on the stage, empress, please don't laugh at me."

"He is really a clever child. Not only can he do things, but he can also talk. He really deserves to be the sister of the number one scholar, but he is better than ordinary women." Concubine Chun let go of her hand. "Come on, give me a seat!"

Two young maids brought over two mahogany embroidered stools, and they sat down.

Concubine Chun looked at her and said earnestly: "Although the Murong family has a prosperous family, it is more difficult for us brother Yu to have children. You should serve him well in the future and give him a lot of money."

"Yes!" Gu Qingmei bowed and said respectfully. "My niece and daughter-in-law must obey my mother's teachings, and never let the general suffer any grievances."

"It's the best if you think so!" She said, waved her hand, and Eunuch Xi, who had been standing by the side, led all the maids in the bedroom to retreat, and then guarded the door to prevent people from eavesdropping .

Concubine Chun didn't leave anyone around, so she lowered her voice and said: "I have always heard that you are smart, but now that you have married into the Murong family and become my niece and daughter-in-law, I have nothing to hide from you. Now, I have a dilemma, and I want to ask your opinion!"

Gu Qingmei said: "That's because the fourth prince concubine praised me, your empress must never believe it, I'm a child from a family, I'm a little clever, I can't be considered elegant."

"It's okay, I just lived in the deep palace for a long time, and there was no one to talk to me. My mother was gone, so no one would help me make up my mind. You listen to what I said, I just listened to it for reference, and it may not be possible. Really do as you say." Concubine Chun said with a smile, a pair of long and narrow eyes lightly passing over her face.

Seeing that although she lowered her head and spoke modest words, but there was no expression of panic on her face, she couldn't help but secretly nodded.

Originally, she was not very satisfied that her precious nephew would marry such a country girl.

She knew that Gu Qingmei's fourth brother was the number one scholar in the new department, and she was the one her precious son was trying to win over, but she was not sure that this girl could help Murong Yu.

She didn't want her nephew to lose her life in order to help the fourth son win the new champion.

In a big family like her natal family, she knows better than anyone how important a good wife is.

But the emperor appreciated her very much, not only agreed to the marriage, but even issued a decree to grant her a marriage. She didn't dare to object, so she had to follow the emperor's wishes and acquiesced to the marriage.

"It's like this..." she said with a smile. "The empress passed away ten years ago. The emperor and the empress are young couples. They love each other deeply. For ten years, they have not been appointed as an empress. The empress has always been empty. I thought, how can there be a way to sit on the empress?" This queen's seat."

When Murong Yu heard her aunt suddenly mentioning that she wanted to win the throne, she suddenly raised her head and stared at her, as if she wanted to see something from her face, but Concubine Chun's face was erratic, and she didn't even look at him, just Looking at Gu Qingmei with burning eyes.
