Hearing that the emperor named her "Xiangyu", although she was very dissatisfied, after thinking for a while, she was faintly happy.

She has boasted of her beauty for many years, and how many people have praised her in her ears, Queen Xiangyu has long been tired of hearing it. However, the emperor rarely talked about her appearance, and she couldn't help but feel sorry in her heart, and she was naturally overjoyed to receive such a title at this moment.

Gonggong Li didn't know why his master suddenly became mediocre and violent, and he became obsessed with beauty, which seemed to be just overnight.

As he walked along the avenue in the palace, he pondered this question. I saw that he was happy for a while, and shook his head for a while, but in the eyes of others, it was extremely funny.

Gonggong Li pondered for a long time, but he still couldn't get the point, so he had to sigh and think about it, the queen was indeed a poor person. For decades, he has respected the emperor like a guest, and the friendship between husband and wife is excellent.

But I don't want to be framed overnight, and the grievances have not been cleared up yet, but I was also deposed as the queen by my husband, which is really embarrassing.

Thinking like this, Gonggong Li quickly glanced up and saw that the Rouyi Hall was in front of him. He gathered his mind and walked over slowly.

His eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw two little maids waiting at the door seeing him coming, and one of them ran away, as if he had gone to report to the queen; The other had already saluted him and said, "Grandpa Li is hard. This side please. ”

Gonggong Li thought that this Rouyi Hall was about to change hands now, and these little maids and servants had to serve another person. There was a little more sorrow and sighing in his heart, but his face was silent, and he followed the maid.

The two of them entered the door and saw that the queen was sitting in the center of the main hall of the Rouyi Palace, and there were two little maids standing next to her, one of whom was one of the two people who were waiting at the door just now.

Gonggong Li peeked at it quickly, and saw that the queen was full of sadness, and her complexion was not very good. but the hairpin ring of the costume is still neatly dressed; The makeup is also intact.

I was stunned in my heart, and secretly thought: "The queen is still in the mood to dress up at such a moment, and she really has the demeanor of a mother's world." ”

He didn't know that Empress Xiangyu said in front of His Majesty that the queen's face was haggard every day, ignoring her appearance, and she had already been listened to by the queen word for word. She was discouraged, but she was not willing to be left behind, and was grabbed and chewed everywhere.

Therefore, after returning from the emperor, he endured the unhappiness in his heart and cleaned up and dressed up.

She behaved like this, but she also had some faint expectations in her heart. I only hope that the emperor can recall that he scolded her too heavily just now, and when he comes back to coax her a word or two, she will be happy.

Just now I heard the little maid report that Gonggong Li had come to the Rouyi Palace, and she was even more overjoyed in her heart, while busy asking the maid to clean up the palace, and on the other hand, she hurriedly touched up her makeup. When she was sitting in the hall waiting, she saw that only Gonggong Li by the emperor's side came in, and her eyes suddenly lost their brilliance, and her heart was even more like ashes.

In an instant, the queen on the opposite side had already had a big ups and downs in her heart, but Gonggong Li didn't know it. Seeing that her face was decayed, she did not dare to announce the will of the abolished queen again.

The two of them each had ghosts in their hearts, and Gonggong Li wanted to speak several times, but when he saw the face of the queen opposite, he couldn't bear to make it worse. Therefore, for a while, it was like sitting on pins and needles, and I couldn't open my mouth.

But because the queen didn't see the emperor, she had no hope in her heart, and she became indifferent to people. Father-in-law Li was restless, but she ignored it and turned her face away.

The little maid brought the tea, and Li Gong thanked him fairly, picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea.

After taking a sip of hot tea, my heart settled down a lot. Gonggong Li remembered that he had to go back to deal with the emperor, and he couldn't delay any longer, so he was ruthless and said: "The queen, the emperor has a will for the slaves to command." If you are offended, please forgive me. ”

After that, he didn't dare to look at the queen's eyes anymore, and said like a self-endorsement: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Queen Qi's family has an untidy appearance and poor moral character. Unbearable to the world, she was demoted to a noble concubine and given the title Xiang. ”

After saying it all in one breath, Gonggong Li quietly took a breath, and only then did he dare to secretly see the queen's reaction.

saw that she had already bowed down: "The minister accepts the order." The maids and women around him knelt down together.

Gonggong Li wondered in his heart. Listening to the queen's voice was very calm, as if nothing happened. Since he entered the palace, he has never seen a woman whose face has not changed when such a catastrophe comes.

I admired the queen in my heart, and I felt even more pity for her. made an excuse at random, said goodbye and left.

Along the way, he couldn't help but sigh secretly: "That queen mother is really a strange woman." In this case, the face can not change, and it really has the style of the mother of the country. It's a pity that she is a woman, otherwise if she can give birth to a boy, she will definitely be able to make a difference on the field! ”

While thinking about it, he suddenly remembered his life experience, and he couldn't help sighing himself, and hated: "As a man, I am willing to be a eunuch, sent by others in this palace, and do those low-eyed and pleasing things, which is really worse than a woman." ”

The more Gonggong Li thought about it, the more sad he became, and he actually shed tears. Fortunately, there was no one near the left, otherwise he would have been looked at by those palace people who were so chewy, and he didn't know how much trouble he would cause.

Since that day, Gonggong Li has inexplicably felt a sense of pity for the queen in his heart.

But how did he know that when the queen heard that she was demoted to a concubine, she had already burst out of her tears, but she tried her best to endure it, so she could only fall to the ground and pretend to accept the order, so as not to be seen.

The envoy of the Qishui tribe, Barda, did not stay much in the capital, and after receiving the news, he immediately bought a few fast horses and galloped back towards the road he came.

Half of the reason why he is so focused is because of the urgency from the king's capital. The letter did not say what it was, but only the use of an urgent symbol, and Barda was uneasy, hoping that something would not make a big mess.

On the other hand, he was secretly happy in his heart. He saw that the emperor was addicted to wine and was incompetent; At first, he was very suspicious, but when he saw that the people in Beijing were all scolding the emperor's officials, he no longer doubted it.

Although he hated the emperor's contempt for treating him, he was very tolerant. I know the truth of enduring a moment of calm. Seeing that the emperor was so incompetent, he wanted to rush back to the royal capital as soon as possible and tell his own king what he had seen and heard in the capital, so that he could make the next step.

The Qishui tribe is located in the northwest. The weather is hot in the summer, but the water is frozen in the winter. The people of the Qishui tribe all live by herding. It's just that the summer in the northwest is too short, and the winter is too long, and the food can't grow.

Barda's father was also an envoy of Qishui. Therefore, since he was seven or eight years old, he often traveled from Beijing to the Qishui tribe.
