The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 39 Velvet Flower (3)

Jiaorong met the emperor's eyes, full of unyielding and rebellious eyes, she gritted her teeth, and replied very calmly: "Yes."

The emperor chuckled, leaning on the dragon chair, his voice lowered a bit: "Resisting the order and disrespecting it is a capital crime of confiscating one's family and beheading one's family. You are willing to die just to resist serving in front of the imperial court?"

"The emperor has always acted kindly, and the status of slaves and servants is lowly. It is just such a trivial matter, the emperor will not care about it that much." Jiaorong said that the emperor would not kill her, she looked into the emperor's eyes without the slightest fear, and then Said: "Besides, the slave's Ama has taught the slave since she was a child, if she becomes an ungrateful villain, she is not worthy of living in the world. Yougui has kindness to the slave, and the slave does not want to lose to her."

The emperor's refined and handsome face was chilled by Jiaorong at this moment, he stared at Jiaorong for a long time, and said lightly: "You, Ama, have taught you a lot."

"You are not willing to bear the kindness you have received from Mr. Yougui, so can you forget about my kindness?" The emperor's tone was very indifferent, he looked away, somewhat annoyed, and said in a cold voice: "No If you are willing to be on an errand in front of me and say it straight, it is difficult for you to find such an excuse to prevaricate me."

Jiaorong is not a person with a hard mouth and a soft heart, she has a hard mouth and a harder heart, even if the emperor said that, she didn't have the slightest intention to explain it.Jiaorong really doesn't want to work by the emperor's side. As the most humble servant, she also has her own dignity, so Jiaorong has never liked the emperor, who can treat people like ants. The higher the position, the more disgusted she is. .

Because these people always make her feel trampled underfoot.In contrast, the friendly Yougui is much better in Jiaorong's heart.

Seeing that Jiaorong acquiesced to his words, the emperor didn't say any more. He threw the beads on the table angrily, and said coldly, "Go back to Yanxi Palace."

"Yes." Jiaorong replied softly, and slowly stood up.She turned around and walked out, just when she was about to walk out of the palace gate, Jiao Rong suddenly stopped in her footsteps, and called out coldly: "Your Majesty."

The emperor raised his eyelids and looked at Jiaorong for no reason, only to see him turn sideways slightly, with a dim light in his eyes, and said meaningfully: "Your silk tree flowers are beautifully painted, but a tree There are too many flowers on the screen, although the primary and secondary are clear, they are too eye-catching and messy. The servant only likes a single velvet flower on a tree. Although the picture is empty, the tree and the flowers complement each other enough."

After saying that, Jiao Rong turned around again, and then left the main hall of Qianqing Palace without looking back.

The emperor naturally understood the meaning of her words, looking at Jiao Rong's back, his eyes gradually became darker.She was always so lofty, with a backbone and arrogance not seen in ordinary court ladies or even concubines. This was probably a kind of personality charm, and this charm attracted him even more.

The emperor's gaze slowly shifted back to the painting covered with silk juniper flowers on the table case.The flowers on this picture are really messy, but he can't change it, because the branches are too thick, if there are only a few small flowers, it will be unbalanced.Wearing the crown and bearing its weight, this is the last thing he can choose as the emperor's family.

After Jiaorong left the main hall, she was about to leave the Qianqing Palace, but at this moment, the guard standing in front of the door suddenly called her: "Rong'er."

Hearing the sound, Jiaorong stopped in her tracks, turned around in a daze, and soon saw the face that had disturbed her mind for two days.Xida is older than her, but her appearance can be described as a tree facing the wind. At this moment, Xida smiled at her warmly, and her voice was like a mountain stream: "Long time no see."

Jiao Rong glanced at Xida, then subconsciously looked at the other guards standing guard.The guards just smiled slightly at Jiao Rong, signaling her that it's okay.Presumably, Xida got along relatively well with these guards.

So, Jiaorong took a few steps forward, sighed, and complained in a rare tone: "You really scared me to death, I woke up in the morning, and Eunuch Gu told me that all the guards from last night were sent away I went to the Punishment Department, I thought..."

Seeing Jiaorong's hesitant to speak, Xida smiled and reached out to knock her on the forehead, and whispered half-jokingly: "So unconfident in my ability? How could I be caught so easily? "

"I'm in a hurry... I don't even have the time to think about whether you have the ability to escape..." Jiao Rong frowned and glared at Xida.The two haven't seen each other for many years, but they can still talk freely. It can be seen that after so many years, they still have a place in their hearts.

As she said that, Jiaorong suddenly remembered something, she stared into Xida's eyes, and questioned: "You are too much, you haven't sent me a letter for so many years, when you clearly agreed that you would enter the palace You will also contact me regularly, are you okay now? There is no evidence, you are a big liar."

Jiaorong slightly rolled her eyes, very dissatisfied.Seeing her expression, Xida only thought it was cute, and she still smiled as warmly as jade, "I'm busy as an servant in the palace, but I have sent you letters occasionally. Did I forget to send them all these years, or You forgot to collect it yourself, you should know better than me, right?"

Jiaorong snorted coldly and said, "Forget it." After looking at Xida's whole body and outfit, she couldn't help saying: "I haven't seen you for many years, and you have come to the imperial court. It really impresses me." what."

"Aren't you too?" Xida replied courteously, raising his eyebrows at Jiao Rong, "Speaking of which, you are better than me. I have been in the palace for five years before I became an imperial guard, but you He has only been in the palace for less than half a year, yet he can come and go freely in Qianqing Palace."

Just mentioning this girl gave me a headache, and her voice cooled down a bit: "I'm not an imperial maid, and I won't be in the future. I'm working in the Palace of Yanxi Palace. If you have time, go to the Palace of Yanxi Palace to see me." .”

Xida knew Jiaorong enough, he could see that Jiaorong was not happy at the moment, so he didn't continue this topic.At this moment, Liang Jiugong came over from a distance. He was very surprised to see Jiaorong chatting with the imperial guards, and stepped forward to say hello: "Miss Jiaorong, why are you here?"

Jiao Rong glanced at Liang Jiugong, put his hands in front of his belly, and said politely: "Eunuch Liang, thank you for taking care of me during this time, I'm going back to Yanxi Palace now."

"Yanxi Palace?" Liang Jiugong was very puzzled.How could the emperor let Jiaorong girl go just like that?

"Yes, I hope father-in-law can persuade the emperor to find a new maid to accompany the second elder brother. From now on, Jiaorong only wants to do some simple errands in Yanxi Palace." Jiaorong looked at the emperor sincerely, and her voice was very light.
