Chapter 484 Breaking the dinner appointment?
In the tent
An Qianning saw that Xie Yu had not come to eat with her after a while, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.
But then she thought that the emperor was a man of his word, and since he had agreed to have dinner with her, he would definitely not lie to her.
Unless the emperor went to the queen's place and the queen interfered, she might have used some means to prevent the emperor from coming to her place.
If not for this, the Emperor wouldn't have come at this hour...
An Qianning thought about it and called Qiu'er over, wanting her to ask Xie Yu
Qiu'er was about to leave when she saw Gao Cheng walk in, but Xie Yu was nowhere to be seen.
Now, An Qianning was certain that the emperor would not come.
Gao Chengdao said, "Miss An, the emperor is feeling unwell and cannot accompany you for dinner. He has specially asked his servants to give you two dishes. Miss An, you can eat by yourself."
Gao Cheng clapped his hands, and the eunuch behind him opened the food box.
An Qianning's face changed slightly. Although she had guessed that the emperor would not come, she did not expect the emperor's reason for not coming to be so perfunctory.
These two dishes just gave her a little face, but only a little.
An Qianning put away her expression and looked at Gao Cheng very politely.
"Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Gao. Since the emperor is not feeling well, I will not disturb him. Please help Eunuch Gao to make this trip, Qiu'er..."
Qiu Er stepped forward and took out a bag of gold leaves, which looked quite heavy.
An Qianning is also very generous
Gao Cheng was naturally aware of the An family's financial resources and accepted it with a smile.
"You're welcome, Miss An."
An Qianning was so generous, of course, not only to greet Gao Cheng
An Qianning tentatively spoke
"Eunuch Gao, today, the Emperor went to see the Empress, but what did the Empress say?"
Since Gao Cheng received the gold leaf, he naturally had to reveal a few words about it.
are smart people
Gao Cheng looked at An Qianning and smiled meaningfully.
"Miss An, the Emperor has not seen the Empress yet."
An Qianning was stunned, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. Obviously, she didn't expect that she guessed wrong.
The emperor didn’t even see the queen?
Could it be that she is too worried?
But why would the emperor clearly promise to have dinner with her but then not come? There must be something fishy going on.
An Qianning pondered for a few seconds
"Eunuch Gao, I haven't been to Kyoto for many years. From now on, I will need your care. Today, the emperor agreed to have dinner with me, so how could I suddenly feel unwell? Please give me some advice, Eunuch Gao. Qian Ning will be grateful."
Faced with a servant like Gao Cheng who had served Xie Yu for many years, An Qianning was naturally willing to lower herself to be a lady from an aristocratic family.
If she were an ordinary servant, of course An Qianning would never have this attitude.
Gao Cheng smiled
"Miss An, the emperor's thoughts are not something that we servants can guess. Miss An, perhaps you should think about what you did and said today? Maybe you will know the reason. I have to go back to serve the emperor, so I will take my leave first."
Gao Cheng seemed to have said everything, but he actually said nothing...
An Qianning looked at Gao Cheng who was trying to fool around. She used a bag of gold leaves but couldn't get anything out of Gao Cheng's mouth.
I sneered in my heart
My father is right. It is not easy for Gao Cheng to serve the emperor for many years and reach his current position. I must build a good relationship with him.
An Qianning smiled as she saw Gao Cheng off, then turned around and her expression changed.
Her eyes fell on the table, on the dishes she had carefully prepared.
Cold eyes
She just went to pay her respects to the Queen today and told her about the white fox fur.
Furthermore……
The queen wanted to recognize her as her sister, but she refused.
Could it be that the emperor treated her coldly just because he knew about this?
If this is true, does the emperor really dote on the queen so much?
Even such a small matter is not allowed?
She and the emperor haven't seen each other for so many years, and the emperor treated her like this just because of such a small matter?
When An Qianning thought of this, her face became darker and darker...
It seems that she is really one step late...
the other side
Gao Cheng left An Qianning's tent
The young scholar said with a smile, "Eunuch, this Miss An is really generous, more generous than the ladies in the palace."
Gao Cheng paused and glanced at the envious young talent.
"Things that are superficial"
The little talent has a flattering face
"Eunuch, I am short-sighted. I need you to teach me more. Miss An is very generous. If she enters the palace and becomes a queen in the future..."
Gao Cheng's eyes darkened
"Slap your mouth, you dare to say anything, these things are also for a slave like you to discuss?"
The young genius immediately slapped himself
Gao Chengdao: "Okay, stop pretending in front of our family, get out of here."
The young talent left in disgrace, and Gao Cheng turned to look at An Qianning's tent.
This person
Smart is naturally good
But this is too clever, and it is not a good thing if you don't know the limits.
The Emperor just learned that today, the Empress wanted to recognize the eldest daughter of the An family as her sister, but the eldest daughter of the An family refused. He was already somewhat dissatisfied.
In addition, when Miss An paid her respects to the Queen, she also mentioned that the Emperor had rewarded her with a white fox fur yesterday.
The emperor is wise and powerful, how could he not see Miss An's little trick?
If it were any other concubine, the emperor might not have acted like this, but this person was the queen.
Considering the status of the Queen in the Emperor's heart, Miss An has not even entered the harem yet. This is really overestimating her own abilities.
In the tent
Lin Junxue slowly opened her eyes and saw Xie Yu sitting on the chaise longue, reading a book.
When Xie Yu heard the noise, he looked over and saw that Lin Junxue's eyes were still a little hazy, with a hint of surprise clearly visible in her eyes.
"Jun'er, you're awake"
Lin Junxue stood up and wanted to get out of bed
Seeing that she didn't even wear shoes and socks, Xie Yu frowned and said in a deep voice, "Wait a minute."
Lin Junxue paused, then shrank back, her eyes red.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing, your vicious concubine?"
Xie Yu had no choice but to walk to the bed.
"How did I treat you harshly? How can you get out of bed without shoes and socks? "
Lin Junxue, turn your head away
"Your Majesty, you have time to be mean to me here, why don't you accompany Miss An to dinner? Miss An said that the dinner prepared is what Your Majesty likes to eat. What are you doing here with me?"
Xie Yu frowned a little deeper, and his dissatisfaction with An Qianning increased.
During dinner, did Qian Ning say anything in front of Jun'er?
Xie Yu sat on the bed
"Okay, I know you're not feeling well today, so I'll accompany you, Jun'er, and take a nap. But if you're hungry, I'll have dinner with you."
Lin Junxue curled her lips, reached out and grabbed Xie Yu's sleeve.
"Your Majesty, you are so kind"
There was a flash of doting in Xie Yu's eyes, and he looked at Lin Junxue with great tenderness.
Lin Junxue is sober enough, so she will never indulge in this kind of false "favor" created by Xie Yu.
Although, that love may be somewhat sincere
But sincerity is worthless in front of power
Lin Junxue raised her head, her eyes were very charming.
"Your Majesty, please hold me while you eat."
