Chapter 336: The imperial concubine (5)

Xiao Yuanzhao took Chu Xiang and sat down together, Liang Zhong was very eye-catching, and placed their two seats next to each other. Xiao Yuanzhao glanced at Liang Zhong with admiration. Liang Zhong straightened his back and made sure that he had guessed the emperor's mind-the emperor was in love with the imperial concubine!
Xiao Yuanzhao didn't let go of Chu Xiang's hand even after sitting down. Chu Xiang felt a little strange and glanced at him without a trace.
[Save his life, he will be tempted? Don't you doubt that this might be a self-directed and self-acted trick? Such a white emperor might have to be tempted by the whole harem in the future. The emperor who is about to be swallowed by a group of spider spirits, poor. 】
Xiao Yuanzhao calmed his expression. He didn't understand what he meant by "white", but he didn't mean to refer to his skin (color). It was definitely not a good thing. In addition, she compares the harem woman to a spider spirit, and thinks that he is so pitiful that they will be tempted by them. Doesn't she look down on him too much?
Xiao Yuanzhao smiled slightly while watching the palace man set up a table of dishes, and asked: "I eat with my concubine for the first time. I still don't know what kind of dishes (color) my concubine likes to use. Is there anything you like here?"
Chu Xiang glanced, and since he asked, she pointed out a few dishes bluntly, "These are the favorites of concubines, thank you, the emperor."
She didn't ask the emperor what he liked to eat, because the emperor could not have his favorite dishes, otherwise it would be easy to be used by others and take advantage of food. She silently said another word [poor], which was all heard by Xiao Yuanzhao.
Xiao Yuanzhao:...
He didn't feel any discomfort in eating since he was a child. This woman thought he was pitiful?
He found that he really couldn't see through Chu Xiang at all. This woman was gentle and gentle on the surface, and even a little cautious. Although she was extremely beautiful, he had never liked such vain dodder flowers. Unexpectedly, now that she read her heart, it was so inconsistent.
Xiao Yuanzhao was surprised, but he didn't show it on his face. Knowing that Chu Xiang was hungry, he picked up his chopsticks and asked Chu Xiang to start eating. He also made many Chu Xiang cloth dishes, which were all her favorites. dish.
Chu Xiang thanked him with joy, as if he was very pleased with the emperor's care for her, but Xiao Yuanzhao knew that she was not touched at all, only that the food was good.
He thought of Chu Xiang's intention to let her family protect her life, and deliberately mentioned the Chu family after she was almost full. "Today I had a very happy conversation with Chu Shangshu and Chu Ze, and found that they are very capable. , I plan to reuse them."
Chu Xiang drank the soup, and immediately looked at him with uneasy eyes, "The emperor, it is an honor for my father and brother to serve the emperor, but the concubines do not know whether they can do well. The emperor must not be because of his concubines. Treat them preferentially."
Chu Xiang's heart sank, wouldn't the Chu family be reused against the regent? Must find a way to escape, who knows who the regent or the emperor can win. It is better to let the emperor get through this as soon as possible, and to dislike her.
Xiao Yuanzhao looked a little angry at her unpleasant expression. The Chu family really didn't care about him, so they didn't want to support him. They just wanted to avoid the fight.
No wonder Chu Xiang never fought for favor after entering the palace, and could not leave Taihe Palace without a step. It turned out to be deliberately hiding from him! May I ask which emperor would like a concubine who is beautiful but cautious? This woman used to pretend to be too successful, even he has fooled!
Xiao Yuanzhao and Chu Xiang put their arms next to each other and laughed and said, "Ai concubine is too modest. I admire Chu Shangshu and Chu Ze very much. Do you think I am someone who reuses officials for the concubine?"
[Like! Otherwise, how to explain this sudden enthusiasm and promotion? Looks pretty shrewd, why is it so stupid? 】
Chu Xiang felt that this man could not sit securely on the throne, but he smiled happily on his face and said, "The emperor is wise and martial, and of course he will not be affected by the concubine. The concubine first thanked the emperor for his brother and father."
Xiao Yuanzhao watched Chu Xiang's unpretentious joy (color), and heard her say that he was stupid, and she was so angry that she lost her temper. This acting skill, even he sighed. It's a pity that he couldn't explain the change in his attitude because he listened to their voices and made these actions after making sure that they were harmless. He could only be labelled as "stupid" in an aggrieved manner.
But he was not happy, and of course he couldn't make her happy. He immediately called Liang Zhong, "You go to the Chu family to pass on the decree, and transfer Chuze to the imperial front to be the imperial commander. Chu Shangshu teaches women well and deserves commendation. I will send another 30% of the generous gift I prepared earlier."
Chu Xiang glanced at the dark sky (color) outside, "My lord, don't be so hurry, it's getting dark."
Xiao Yuanzhao gently held her hand and looked at her with a smile, "I still feel slow. I should reward them as soon as I return to the palace, my concubine, Chu Ze will always be in front of the imperial court in the future, and you will have a chance to see him in the palace. Is your concubine happy?"
"Happy, my concubine Xie Huang." Chu Xiang blushed and nodded, watching him silently think of two words in his heart-idiot.
Chu Xiang felt that even if this stupid was not killed by the regent, he would be stupid to death by himself. How can he be such an emperor? If you don't pay close attention to investigating the black hand behind the scenes, what kind of tenderness is doing with her?
Xiao Yuanzhao almost didn't hold his face. Just when he was about to attack, he found that Chu Xiang began to doubt him, wondering if he did this deliberately to test the Chu family. Test whether she directed and acted by herself, and whether the Chu family would stand in line to support him. If this is the case, then the emperor is still a bit clever.
Chu Xiang lowered his gaze extremely naturally, thinking about it in his heart. Since Chu Ze became the imperial leader and Chu Shangshu was valued for rewards, even if the Chu family did not stand in line, the regent would be upset. Regarding the posture of the regent to suppress the Chu family, it might be even more disadvantageous to the Chu family in the future. So, should we kill the regent and let the Chu family succeed?
Fortunately, Xiao Yuanzhao has been used to pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger for many years, so he didn't show up in front of Chu Xiang. He just wanted to tease Xia Chu Xiang and look at her upset. How could he think of so many things in a moment?
If you think he is stupid, you can just suspect that he is probing. What does it mean to kill the regent? Is she a girl’s attitude towards the regent so casual? Are you going to kill the regent lightly? How? ? ?
Seeing that Chu Xiang was still happy and shy, he couldn't help but review himself. He always thought that his skill at pretending to be perfect, and only when he met Chu Xiang knew that he was not good enough. In the future, I will learn more from his imperial concubine, and don't even show the slightest emotion.
Xiao Yuanzhao took a deep breath, said a few words to Chu Xiang casually, and instructed Chu Xiang to take a good rest and leave Taihe Palace.
Taihe Palace was not far from his bedroom. He wanted to walk outside and wake up for a while, so he didn't take the Dragon Fight and walked all the way back. On the way, he thought of the sharp contrast between Chu Xiang's heart and the surface (强qiang), and he couldn't help laughing.
The palace people behind him didn't look at each other, but they thought of the same thing—the imperial concubine was going to be spoiled!
Before Xiao Yuanzhao arrived at Taihe Palace, he was in a bad mood because he had just met the regent. But after coming out of Taihe Palace, he felt very relaxed for no reason, as if he had just experienced a game.
For many years, he has only political affairs in his mind and has never been close to any woman. This time he got a mind-reading technique, and he listened to their inner thoughts by the way when the Four Consorts were vying to show them.
Concubine Xi is overbearing and domineering, (sexually xing), she is the first daughter of Shang Shu of the Household Department, and she is also sent by the regent to the palace to instigate fights in the harem. He suspected that Hubu Shangshu had taken refuge in the regent, and thus directly determined the matter. Therefore, Concubine Xi's outspoken mind is almost always a show, all day long and domineering is to disturb the harem.
Concubine Hui is a well-known talented woman in Beijing. She is very good at writing poems and paintings. Her father is a third-rank general, and she was spared at home because of her injuries. She didn't do anything for the regent, but because she had some talents and was very arrogant, she didn't look at the other concubines in her eyes, and was full of thoughts about competing for the upper ranks, profiting for herself, and private means.
Jin Fei (sexual xing) son is cold and elegant like a bamboo. He is good at playing the piano, playing chess, and studying calligraphy. But in fact, she is the most arrogant one, her heart is the narrowest, she must be rewarded, she is sure to win the post, and her father, General Fuyuan, is very ambitious. I want to provoke him to fight with the regent after giving birth to a son after he is in the post, and then help Concubine Jin's son to take the post.
As for Li Fei, she is purely beautiful (yan yan). She is a hereditary knighthood at home. She is now declining. She is dedicated to fighting for favor, good at singing and dancing, and she is very suitable for being a gentle hometown and a quiet language flower. But she has no brains, is jealous, and thinks a lot, and she doesn't know what peace is.
After Xiao Yuanzhao knew their (sexual xing) character, they bothered them even more, and he had no idea about the harem. Who knows that the more you contact with Chu Xiang, the more interesting Chu Xiang is.
Chu Xiang didn't make the slightest attempt, and even avoided him and the palace with fear. He thought that if he deliberately pulled the Chu family to his side, Chu Xiang would be unhappy. As a result, Chu Xiang didn't have any negative emotions, so he thought of killing the regent.
Although he only felt that this was the little girl's inner thoughts, and didn't believe that she had any ability to kill the regent, he was still uncontrollably happy in his heart, even Chu Xiang thought he was stupid in his heart, and said he was stupid. .
Xiao Yuanzhao returned to the bedroom and waved away from the crowd. After meditating for a while, he tapped his fingers rhythmically on his knees, and a man with an ordinary face and no sense of existence immediately appeared in front of him.
Chu Xiang was surprised to see this scene through the Universe Mirror. Does the emperor still have a guard? I don't know if the emperor brought a dark guard when he came to her. You can ask Qiankun Jing to pay attention next time. After her cultivation level is higher, she will be able to perceive their position by herself.
Chu Xiang saw Xiao Yuanzhao whispering to the man named "Anyi" how the investigation was done, and Anyi whispered in a concise and orderly report. Then he knew that Xiao Yuanzhao had almost investigated the assassination (killing of sha). It was really true. Arranged by the regent.
It's just that it's not the best time to turn around with the Regent, so Xiao Yuanzhao pretended not to find anything, and secretly ordered the dark guards to follow this line to continue to explore the underground forces of the Regent.
Xiao Yuanzhao's presence in front of Anyi was not the same as in front of her. She almost thought he was a silly white sweet. It really was impossible that the emperor who could make the regent to assassinate (kill sha) could not be a fuel-efficient lamp.
This emperor with different appearances must have tried to treat the Chu family so kindly. It is also possible to use the Chu family as a chess piece. She still let him abandon her as soon as possible, and then feigned death (off tuo), letting the Chu family continue to be neutral and low-key. it is good. Do something that upsets him next time you see him.
