NOVEL NEXT Chapter 60 Stop pretending in front of me
"Huh? Who is looking for me?"
As a beloved concubine, Zhang Guifei would definitely accompany her on such things as autumn hunting. This time, many female relatives from the harem came, so the Queen Mother was left in the harem. The other concubines, as long as they had some respect in front of the emperor, came .
Then the princess and the prince also came, and it was very lively.
Apart from the queen, only Concubine Zhang had a palace to herself, which shows the emperor's preference for her.
"Returning to your Majesty, it's Miss Xu of Duke Cheng's Palace."
Concubine Zhang's eyes lit up, but she quickly recovered. She looked completely unconcerned, but her tone was a little anxious, "Oh, let people come in quickly!"
Didn't the two of them pretend they didn't know each other after that stinky girl said something about her cousin?Why is it automatically delivered to your door now?Humph, did he finally realize the status and power of her beloved concubine, so he regretted it and decided to cling to her?
If that was the case, it wasn't like she couldn't give her another chance.
Concubine Zhang raised her chin arrogantly and sat on the large huanghuali armchair like a beloved concubine, waiting for Xu Muhua to come in.
Originally, Concubine Zhang was thinking about how she would make fun of Xu Muhua when she came in, but Xu Muhua didn't give her a chance at all!
After entering, he gave a hasty salute and without waiting for her to speak, he stood up and said, "My Majesty, please step aside. The daughter of the people has something very important to tell her."
As soon as Concubine Zhang heard these words, she had the urge to kick her out, because she knew that something was not good as soon as she heard these words.
But...she stretched out her left hand to hold her forehead, and waved her right hand to signal the person serving her to step back.
Soon only Concubine Zhang and Xu Muhua were left in the room.
Xu Muhua now sat down next to Concubine Zhang very familiarly, and lowered his voice and said: "Madam, I discovered a very strange thing. The matter is so important that I have no other way at the moment, and I can't think of anything that can be done. Is there anyone who can help me, so I came to see my queen. At this time, besides my queen, I am afraid there is no other person who can help me."
Concubine Zhang raised her chin reservedly and looked at Xu Muhua: "What do you want me to help you with?"
She just said that Xu Muhua would need her help one day. She had vowed before that she would not, but look, is it a slap in the face now?
How could Xu Muhua fail to see the meaning in Concubine Zhang's eyes?She also knew what she had said, and she also knew that coming to Concubine Zhang at this time was a bit of a slap in the face...
However, a slap in the face is nothing, she can bend and stretch! She is a person who does big things, how could she be defeated by such a small thing?
So she just pretended not to see the teasing in Concubine Zhang's eyes.
She lowered her voice and said: "I accidentally bumped into something. It seems that someone is plotting to cause trouble during the autumn hunting! You know, my lady, that in addition to the nobles in the capital, and more importantly, the emperor Ah! There can’t be any mistakes in this!”
Concubine Zhang's expression turned serious. She looked at Xu Muhua and said, "Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know what these words you say mean?"
If someone really wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, or even plot something more terrible, and she found out, she would most likely get into trouble and eventually be implicated in the Duke's palace.
If it is false, it will be even more serious and it will still implicate the Chengguo government.
"Of course I know, that's why I came to see you! I am dedicated to the country, the king, and the people!"
Concubine Zhang’s eyebrows and her heart skipped a beat.
If she hadn't been in contact with him before, she would have believed her nonsense!
"Are you sure this is true? Could it be that you have misunderstood?"
Xu Muhua glared, "Your Majesty, do I look like the kind of person who makes nonsense regardless of the importance? I must have decided on such an important matter before I came to discuss countermeasures with your Majesty!"
Of course Zhang Guifei believed her, and after being silent for a while, she asked: "Then what can you do? If I mention it to the emperor directly, the emperor may not believe it." It is also possible that she was too indulgent and was talking nonsense. .
Xu Muhua pretended to think for a while before saying: "I think the best way to leak this matter is to secretly leak it to a certain prince, and let this prince come forward. In this way, the prince will have to accept the empress's love, and in the future The empress can also have extra protection in the harem. And I don’t have to worry about being implicated in the Chengguo Duke’s palace, so I can achieve multiple benefits with one stone!"
Concubine Zhang's eyes flashed and she asked, "Then which prince do you think it would be better to tell?"
Xu Muhua looked at her with an innocent face: "Empress, you must know which prince is more reliable and can be cooperated with. What do I know about these princes? I have never been in contact with them!"
As she spoke, she showed another honest smile, "But I heard that among all the princes, the fifth prince is the best in every aspect, including ability, reputation, appearance, and conduct. What do you think, my empress?"
The fifth prince is the male protagonist in the book!
Concubine Zhang looked at her deeply, her eyes falling in the distance, "The fifth prince is indeed the most famous among the princes. He is the adopted son of the queen, and he is half the legitimate son of the middle palace. But he is humble and low-key. Progressive. He has some friendships with the officials, but not too deeply. He has always been filial, respectful and sincere to the emperor. He also cares about the people and has done a lot of good things for the people."
In fact, the emperor had praised the fifth prince in front of her more than once in private. Although it seemed to be just a casual comment, she could also keenly sense that the emperor had a preference for the fifth prince.Especially after what happened to the third prince, this preference seemed to be more obvious.
The queen did not give birth to a legitimate son. Although the fifth prince was adopted, his biological mother died just after he was born. The queen raised him single-handedly, so he was better than his own son.It's not from Zhonggong, but it's the same.
She is the favorite concubine of the harem, so it is not surprising to know this, but Xu Muhua... what she just said was really just unintentional. She accidentally heard of the fifth prince's reputation or...
Concubine Zhang always felt that Xu Muhua was not so honest.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Seeing that Concubine Zhang was distracted, Xu Muhua couldn't help but wave his hand in front of her.
In such a tense moment, how could Concubine Zhang be distracted?
"Since you think the fifth prince is trustworthy, then let's be the fifth prince!"
Xu Muhua was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, it's not that I think the Fifth Prince is trustworthy, I just made a suggestion! I think it's your Majesty's turn to make the final decision on this matter!"
Concubine Zhang snorted softly, "Come on, don't pretend in front of me. Do I know what your plans are?"
Isn't it just that I'm afraid of missing something big and getting into trouble, so I just pretend to be stupid?
Xu Muhua did not deny it, and smiled, "Your Majesty is really smart, you can't hide anything from your Majesty."
"Leave this matter to me. I will handle it well and won't involve you. Can you rest assured?"
"Don't worry, absolutely don't worry! How can I not be worried about my empress' personality?"
After hearing this, Concubine Zhang couldn't help but raise her beautiful red lips.
