No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 572
The four girls were taken to a small room in the corner of Bai Jingrong's palace. The woman said that this is where they will live in the future.

Luo Junyao took a look at the long bunk and the neatly arranged bunk pillows. This small room can accommodate ten people.

Luo Junyao felt that he could actually understand Bai Jingrong's desire and pursuit of power.

Even when she was not a princess, the Bai family was a famous family in the Central Plains.In the end, she was forced to live outside the Great Wall for decades. The Qi family favored concubines, queens, and queen mothers, no matter how high their status was, they might not be as good as the former eldest lady of the Bai family in terms of material life alone.

If she loses King Qi's favor, or is deprived of power by her son, one can imagine what kind of life she will lead.

Not to mention calling the wind and calling the rain, I'm afraid I can't even control my daily life.

"Clean up first, and then someone will come and teach you what to do every day. You can't leave the Queen Mother's palace without orders, or you will bear the consequences."

The woman glanced at the four girls in front of her, and asked, "Do you understand everything?"

The four agreed in unison.

The woman nodded her head and said: "Very well, obedient people can live longer in the palace. You should prepare first, you..."

She pointed at Luo Jun and said, "Come with me."

Luo Junyao showed a look of surprise that was just right, and the other three also looked at her.

The woman said: "Since you can speak the Central Plains dialect, I have other errands for you. Put your things away and follow me."

Everyone knew that the current Queen Mother of the Qi clan was from the Central Plains, so they couldn't help casting envious glances at Luo Junyao.

However, they were much luckier than those companions who would be sent to the slave house, so they didn't mean to be jealous of Luo Junyao.

So Luo Junyao quickly put away his baggage, and followed the woman out.

The woman walked out with Luo Junyao, and said in a low voice: "My name is Bai Ning, and I am in charge of the servants in the Empress Dowager's Palace. You just follow me these two days and learn what to do. The Empress Dowager doesn't really like you like this People are waiting in front of you, but some time ago, many people were carried out from the palace, and now there are not enough people around the Queen Mother who can speak the Central Plains, so I chose this."

"Thank you sister for reminding me." Luo Junyao nodded obediently.

The woman looked back at her, and said: "You don't have to be afraid, the empress will not do anything to you. It is also the empress dowager's intention to choose a maid who is half of the blood of the Central Plains."

Luo Junyao was a little surprised, what did Bai Jingrong mean?
Seeing her bewildered and puzzled face, the woman reminded her, "Your Majesty is only half of Central Plains blood. If you are smarter and smarter, it may not be your chance to win the favor of your empress."

A flash of inspiration flashed in Luo Junyao's mind, and he suddenly realized.

Bai Jingrong is trying to take advantage of the issue of pedigree to play the emotional card with Ji Zhan?
And before... a lot of people were carried out of the palace?
I'm afraid Ji Zhan is dissatisfied with Bai Jingrong's confidants.

In fact, it's hard to say what Bai Jingrong thinks, saying that she doesn't like children of mixed races, not only her own children are of mixed races, but didn't she also marry her personal maid to a general of the Qi tribe?

Perhaps what she didn't like was the fact that, now, the mixed descendants of the two races were no longer loyal to her.

"I see, thank you sister for pointing it out."

The woman smiled with satisfaction, and said, "That Yunchang, you don't have to be afraid of her, as long as the empress values ​​you, she won't dare to do anything to you."

"Yes."

In the resplendent and resplendent hall, Bai Jingrong listened to the people kneeling on the ground with a gloomy expression.

"Your Majesty?" The man didn't see Bai Jingrong's response after speaking for a long time, so he couldn't help but secretly looked up.

I couldn't help being surprised when I saw it before, although no matter how many times I saw it, I was always amazed by the beauty of the Empress Dowager, but the expression on this beautiful face at this time can only make people shudder, and there is absolutely no way to produce any charming thoughts.

The people on the ground couldn't help thinking of a rumor that has been circulating in the clan for many years: It is said that this empress was actually transformed from a monster in the legend of the Central Plains. His appearance is not bad.

Otherwise, she is clearly over half a hundred years old, how can she be so young and beautiful?

Also, many people die in her palace every year. It is said that the women of the Central Plains are gentle and kind, but there are not so many people who die around other bad-tempered Qi clan concubines.

While thinking wildly, Bai Jingrong's cold voice sounded in his ears, "Is that what your majesty said?"

The person kneeling on the ground couldn't help shaking, and after recovering, he hurriedly said: "Hui, Hui Niangniang, that's right.",

Bai Jingrong sneered, stood up from his seat, and said coldly, "What? Your majesty is going to put me under house arrest?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty misunderstood!" The people on the ground cried out inwardly, the Empress Dowager still held a lot of soldiers and horses in her hands.

There are still many people who are loyal to her. If this word is spread, the king may be in big trouble.

Bai Jingrong sneered and said, "Misunderstanding? Ji Zhan asked you to personally warn Aijia to stay in his own palace and not to go out. Isn't this house arrest?"

"Your Majesty really misunderstood." The man said cautiously: "It's just that there are too many people from all walks of life outside the royal court during this time, and the king is also afraid that someone will offend the empress dowager. The king is very filial."

Bai Jingrong sneered, slightly pursed his lips and said, "I'm not afraid of being bumped into, go back and tell Ji Zhan that I'm not in his way, and he'd better not be in my way, or don't blame me for being rude. He is indeed King Qi now, but...the previous king was not only his son. He does not want to take the position of King Qi, but some people want to take it."

The people on the ground did not dare to answer the words with bitter faces, and he is not crazy, so how can he spread these words?

"Still leaving?" Bai Jingrong glanced at him contemptuously and said coldly.

The man couldn't help shaking, and quickly stood up and said goodbye.

Watching that person go out, Bai Jingrong's expression became more and more gloomy in an instant.

There was silence in the hall, and the maids kneeling on one side of the wall pressed their heads to the ground, not daring to make a sound, let alone move rashly.

Bai Jingrong scanned the entire hall, sneered, and then sat back a little tiredly.

During this period of time, she had a very deep understanding of the difference between being a queen mother and a queen.

Especially when the relationship between the newly appointed king and queen mother is very bad.

Even if she doesn't want to, she has to admit that maybe within two years, Ji Zhan will really take all the power out of her hands, when he...

Bai Jingrong shook her head: No, she absolutely cannot tolerate this.

What a good son of hers.

"Your Majesty." Bai Ning came in from the outside, and said respectfully, "The person you want has been chosen."

Bai Jingrong leaned on the soft couch and did not speak. Bai Ning had served her for many years and knew her temper well, so he continued without hesitation: "It's a little girl, she is 17 years old, her mother is from the Central Plains, and her father was originally a businessman from the Western Regions. Her father She was killed, and the thieves saw that she was good-looking, so they left her alive and sold her to Cheju City as a slave, and then they were sent here. Do you want to take a look, empress?"

Bai Jingrong slightly raised his eyelids, and said, "Forget it, let someone check her details first."

Bai Ning was not surprised, he bent over to agree.

Bai Jingrong said: "I believe in your vision, first cultivate the teaching rules well. After I find out the details, I will be of great use."

"Yes."

"Go back."

"The slaves retire."

When Bai Ning came out of the main hall, he saw Luo Junyao squatting under the eaves outside the hall in a daze.

Seeing her coming out, she quickly stood up and called obediently, "Sister Bai Ning."

Seeing her like this, Bai Ning's expression softened a little, and he said softly: "Your Majesty is in a bad mood now, I will take you to see her in two days. You follow me first, and I will teach you some rules in the palace."

"Yes."

Luo Junyao was a little disappointed not to see Bai Jingrong.

But it doesn't matter, with her current status, it's useless even if she meets Bai Jingrong.A person like Bai Jingrong would never let a stranger of unknown origin approach him.

Luo Junyao followed Bai Ning and left. The two of them had just walked out when Ji Rong walked in from the outside.

Ji Rong frowned slightly when he saw the backs of the two from a distance.

"Prince?" The people behind Ji Rong asked in puzzlement when they saw him stop.

Ji Rong came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "It's nothing, go see your mother first."

"Yes."

When Ji Rong stepped into the hall, Bai Jingrong was leaning on the soft couch with his eyes closed.

He raised his head lazily when he heard footsteps, "My son, Ji Rong, you are here."

"Mother." Ji Rong stood a few steps away, looking at her indifferently.

Bai Jingrong sat up, sighed faintly and said, "Rong'er, I haven't felt very well these days."

Ji Rong raised her eyes and glanced at him, "If my mother is feeling unwell, she should ask the imperial physician earlier."

Bai Jingrong snorted lightly and said, "You know it well, I didn't mean that."

Ji Rong was silent.

Bai Jingrong sighed lightly and said, "Don't you think that the recent chaos in the royal court is disturbing?"

Ji Rong said: "What does mother want to say?"

Bai Jingrong laughed lightly, but his voice suddenly sank, and said: "Ji Rong, do you think that if your mother is gone, you will have a good life in the royal court? Your second brother is gone, if someday Mother is gone, so only you and Ah Zhan are left in the royal court. What do you think, how will Ah Zhan treat your brother? Huh?"

Ji Rong sighed slightly, seemingly helpless, "Mother, what are you going to do?"

Bai Jingrong stared fixedly into his eyes and said: "Mother just wants to live a good life now. Ronger, Ah Zhan was taught badly by your father, and he and mother have long been separated. Mother only has you."

Ji Rong lowered her eyes, Bai Jingrong got up and walked slowly to his side, raised her hand and lightly brushed off the non-existent dust on his shoulders, and said, "Ronger, mother knows that you have wronged you a few years ago, and you have resentment in your heart. But you want to I know, you are always a piece of meat from your mother. This is a relationship that will never be cut. As long as you are obedient and obedient, you can do whatever you want. The position of King Qi, the people and power in your mother's hands will be fine in the future for you."

Ji Rong looked at the woman in front of her, and couldn't help thinking, "His mother is really good at deceiving people."
