The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 20 Dog Hair (2)

But after hearing this, Yinti was not very happy, his face wrinkled, a little wronged: "Huang Ama..."

The emperor lowered his head, didn't go to see Yinti again, and waved his fan casually: "You can eat, I'm going to see your mother-in-law."

Before leaving, the emperor took a deep look at Jiaorong, but unfortunately Jiaorong kept his head down dutifully and didn't notice his gaze at all.

Not long after, the main hall of Yanxi Palace heard the melodious sound of Guqin, playing a melodious song "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud", which is like the rippling blue waves and smoky lake water clouds, which is very artistic.

The emperor and Mr. Yougui sat on the Arhat couch and sipped tea. Mr. Yougui looked at the young man who was playing the Guqin in front of him, smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I know that you love to listen to the Guqin, so I asked him to go to the music club. After studying for a while, how do you listen?"

Hearing this, the emperor looked up as if he had just woken up from a dream, as if he had been distracted for a long time, and responded perfunctorily: "Oh, that's good."

In this regard, Fei Ying, who had been showing the most beautiful smile in front of him, his expression was all fixed on his face for a moment, and an unconcealable loss appeared in his eyes, but the piano music on his fingers still couldn't stop, so he had to bite the bullet and continue playing Going down, I accidentally made two wrong sounds.

Seeing the emperor's appearance, Yougui frowned slightly, but before she could speak, the emperor stepped forward and said: "I just went to see Yinti, his appetite is much better than before, and his complexion is much better. It looks good."

Yougui smiled softly, "Yes, the concubine is also relieved a lot."

The emperor nodded slightly, raised his eyes to look at Yougui, and ordered without beginning and end: "This matter is the credit of your little maid, remember to give her some rewards later."

Hearing this, the smile on Rao's face froze even for the calmest and calmest Yougui.She couldn't help pursing her lips, her eyelashes moved lightly, and she couldn't hold back her smile: "Your Majesty, this is the third time you have proposed to your concubine today, but you are interested in her?"

The player who was playing the piano in front couldn't help raising his head, looking at the emperor's beautiful face full of jealousy.The emperor raised his eyelids to meet Shang Yougui's eyes, and seemed to have realized this, said softly "nothing", and raised his eyebrows: "It's just a frizzy girl, it's all to impress me, there's nothing special about it interested."

Saying that, the emperor got up slowly, moved his shoulders, Yougui also got up, and just about to go forward to say something to the emperor, the emperor stopped her words with a wave of his hand.The emperor looked at Mr. Yougui, and said in a gentle voice: "It will be your birthday in a while, I will hold a family banquet for you at that time, and you can discuss other matters with Concubine Zhao."

Yougui's face darkened slightly, and he nodded slightly "Yes", seeing that the emperor was not interested, so he wisely stopped talking.

The emperor turned around and left, and when he came up to the front, he paused, reached out and patted the qin under her hand.He stopped playing the music, raised his head and looked at the emperor nervously, and because the emperor finally noticed him, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, the emperor looked at the violin and sighed softly: "Next time, let someone else go to the music club to learn the violin. Your hand is too heavy to play such a famous tune on such a good violin. , it's kind of messed up."

After saying that, the emperor walked out of the main hall of Yanxi Palace with his hands behind his back, and never looked back.

At that time, Yi Zhu and Bai Lan were standing in the yard looking through many embroidered white cloths, talking softly from time to time about "this is beautiful", "is this embroidered with flowers", "hey Xiaoyingzi's is okay".

The emperor and Liang Jiugong were about to leave the Palace of Yanxi Palace, and when they passed by the two people, their pace slowed down a bit. The emperor looked at the things in the hands of the two of them, and asked, "This is what your servants from the Palace of Yanxi Palace embroidered for Mr. Yougui." gift?"

Hearing the sound, Yi Zhu and Bai Lan turned their heads in an instant, and they were all very surprised to see that it was the emperor. They first hid the cloth behind their backs, and then remembered to salute: "Servant, send your respects to the emperor."

"Don't hide from me, I know that you are preparing a surprise for Yougui, I won't tell her." The emperor's voice was a little gentler, much more kind than before.

Yizhu and Bailan looked at each other, then took out the cloth behind them, and respectfully opened it for the emperor to look through.Bai Lan lowered her head and explained to the emperor: "These are not finished works, they are just the results of the workers' practice. Don't worry, your majesty, these are old cloths that slaves ask for from the House of Internal Affairs, and they will not be extravagant and wasteful." of."

The emperor flipped through it casually, most of the patterns embroidered on these fabrics were not bad, and occasionally there were a few with unfamiliar stitches, probably made by the eunuchs of Yanxi Palace.Until the emperor found a piece of cloth embroidered with magnolia flowers, he frowned a little, and said softly, "Who embroidered this?"

This magnolia flower is probably the most shoddy of these embroideries. Not to mention the shape, it is completely covered with thread stubs. Threads of various colors are intertwined together, which is quite chaotic and has no aesthetic feeling at all.

The emperor was just asking casually, thinking that some eunuch in the palace was stupid, but who knew that Bai Lan and Yi Zhu's expressions became very unnatural after seeing this embroidery.Bai Lan swallowed, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this is... embroidered by Jiao Rong."

The emperor paused with the fingers holding Bubo, and looked at Bai Lan's face with a surprised expression.After a while, the emperor stuffed the piece of cloth back, cleared his throat, his eyes dodged, he didn't know what to say, so he could only say: "Let her practice hard."

After finishing speaking, the emperor turned his head and left. Liang Jiugong froze on the spot and forgot to leave. The emperor might feel embarrassed, so he gave him a special slap.

After watching the two leave, Mr. Yougui stood in front of the main hall with a complicated expression on his face.Poor also ran out and stood beside Yougui, with a very dissatisfied expression: "My lord, the emperor promoted Jiaorong's father yesterday, and today he mentioned her over and over again, it must be that little bitch Jiaorong taking advantage of her." You are no longer seducing the emperor!"

"Feng Bing!" Yougui frowned, and coldly ordered Beng Bing to shut up, and then said softly, "Jiao Rong won't."

With a look of grievance on his face, he took a few steps forward, "My lord! Jiao Rong is always good at stealing the limelight, and she has invited many times to become a palace lady in front of you just a few days after entering the palace. She is ambitious and scheming. They are surprisingly big, don’t be fooled anymore!”

"Shut up!" Yougui looked at Fengchen, her face was so indifferent for the first time, her eyes were very sharp, cutting on Fengchen like knives: "Even if Jiaorong wants to fight for the emperor's favor, so what? Don't you have such thoughts? In terms of ambition and scheming, you are much bigger than Jiaorong!"
