The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 52 Chengqian Palace (1)

Jiaorong was provoked by this sudden compliment and dared not look up for a moment, she pursed her lips uncomfortably, and said in a low voice: "The master of this servant wants to eat plum blossom crisps, and this servant just came to pick some in the quiet of the night, not wanting to disturb After leaving the emperor and prince, the servants will go back to the palace immediately."

After saying that, Jiao Rong turned around and was about to leave, but Prince Gong shouted: "Wait a minute, girl!"

Hearing the sound, the emperor looked at Prince Gong again with deep eyes.Young people always like to show their emotions on their faces. Prince Gong smiled heartily, and his eyes were full of favor for beauties.Jiao Rong had no choice but to turn around, Prince Gong looked at her and said, "Miss, can you tell Xiao Wang your boudoir name and where you came from?"

Jiaorong had a strange face, she didn't understand what Prince Gong wanted to do, but she answered one by one out of politeness: "The little girl is named Jiaorong, and she is the maid of Yanxi Palace."

"Yanxi Palace." Prince Gong put his hands behind his back, smiling undiminished, and his interest in Jiaorong was directly and clearly displayed on his face, "I don't know if this king wants to marry Miss Jiaorong to be the concubine of Prince Gong's mansion, Yan Will the young master of Jubilee Palace be willing to let him go?"

Hearing this, Jiaorong instantly raised his head and looked at Prince Gong in disbelief. The emperor's pupils also trembled slightly, and he frowned and called Prince Gong's name directly: "Chang Ning."

However, Prince Gong raised the corners of his lips at the emperor, with a pure expression on his face, thinking that the emperor thought it was breaking the rules to make a maidservant a Fujin, so he replied casually: "Brother Emperor, it's just a side view of Fujin, it doesn't matter. "

The emperor's face suddenly darkened, Jiao Rong stared at Prince Gong for a second, and finally lost under Prince Gong's sincere eyes, and said with a guilty conscience: "Your Majesty, you just asked to marry a slave girl after you met her." , this is too absurd, please forgive me for not being able to bear this kindness."

If it was the past, under the sincere courtship of a sincere and straightforward person like Prince Gong, Jiaorong might really not be able to help but develop a good impression.But at this moment, Yougui is planning to rely on her to work hard for the future, how could Jiaorong think about marrying into the palace, so she immediately let herself stop thinking about it.

Hearing Jiao Rong's words, Prince Gong just smiled softly: "You have a plum blossom-like proud demeanor and an extraordinary appearance. This king thinks you are beautiful and is attracted by you. What is so absurd about that?" of?"

The emperor's gaze shifted to Jiaorong, his voice and face turned a bit cold: "The emperor's vision is really unique. However, I am planning to marry the daughter of Niu Hulu's Aerhai to you as a sidekick for a few days." Fujin, if the younger brother marries a court lady to come in, I'm afraid it won't be very good."

Hearing this, Prince Gong was stunned for a moment, thought for a few seconds, and said with a little regret: "If this is the case, I can only let her do a good job in the palace, I am afraid that the beauty will be wronged."

Seeing that the two began to discuss about their own marriage, Jiao Rong quickly stopped her: "My lord, this servant is now the eldest maid of the Yanxi Palace. If she gets married at this time, the slave and servant will be worried about the affairs of the Yanxi Palace. Please ask the lord." Seeing that the slaves and the nobles of our family have a lot of master-servant affection, take back this grace."

Hearing this, both Prince Gong and the Emperor were stunned. Prince Gong looked at Jiaorong's lowered head, the smile on his face gradually dissipated, and he frowned slightly, a little disappointed: "I didn't expect you to be a court lady." It's such a pity that it's so heartfelt, the king and the beauty really don't have a chance."

The emperor's cheeks were frowned, and the expression on his face was still calm, but a little more happy.He coughed twice, and said to Prince Gong: "Since the little palace lady is unwilling, the emperor doesn't have to force her. Later, I will ask you to pick some beauties from other races for you to be concubines."

In this regard, Prince Gong shook his head, and smiled reservedly: "Brother Huang misunderstood, I don't love beauties, I just see that this little maid is attractive."

"Girl, don't rush away. Since you came out to look for flowers for your master, you can continue to pick them." Prince Gong said to Jiaorong, and then turned to look at the emperor, "Brother emperor, the beauty of the imperial garden today is very beautiful. It's for enjoying, but it's getting late, brother Huang should go back to rest earlier, and the younger brother will go back to the residence sooner."

The emperor also understood that Prince Gong was stepping down the steps for himself and Jiaorong, so he replied clearly: "Okay, my brother, pay attention to safety on the road, I will return immediately."

"Your brother will leave." The Emperor Gong bowed his hands and saluted Jiao Rong for the last time, then turned around and left the imperial garden with the people from Prince Gong's mansion.

Soon, the imperial garden returned to the tranquility of midnight again. Jiao Rong raised her eyelids and glanced at the emperor.

The emperor stared at her for a long time. After all, the two hadn't seen each other for half a year, and they didn't know what topic to bring up for a while.After thinking for a while, the emperor turned his head and asked casually, "Yougui, do you want to eat plum blossom crisps?"

Hearing the sound, Jiao Rong's eyelashes twitched slightly, and she responded with a somewhat deliberate and dull voice: "Ah, yes."

These words were so difficult to say, the emperor sighed helplessly, and said: "After you pick these plum blossoms, send them to the imperial dining room, and let you Mafa make them for Yougui yourself, so you can learn from you." Marfa's craft."

Upon hearing this, Jiaorong curled her lips, and subconsciously said: "Mafa's handicrafts are not mastered by servants, and servants also know some knowledge about ingredients. The room is given."

Liang Jiugong couldn't help but burst into a "puchi" laugh, the emperor gave him a sideways glance, and Liang Jiugong quickly stopped laughing.Immediately, the emperor asked again: "I heard that Yougui is ill, is she okay recently?"

Jiaorong was silent for a long while, then shook her head slightly: "Master can't go to bed, it will affect the honor to some extent, so the master is often anxious and insomnia, worried that he will be bullied by the favored concubine, and also worried that his loss of favor will affect everyone. Brother's future."

Seeing Jiaorong's serious look, the emperor also frowned: "Why would she think that way? No matter what, she is my concubine and Yinti is my son. If she is bullied, I will definitely uphold justice for her. As for Yinti, he is my own flesh and blood, so how can I ignore him?"

Although the emperor has always had a grudge against Yougui since he learned that Yougui had contacts with the Queen Mother, but no matter what, after all, Yougui has been by his side for many years.

Jiaorong glanced at the emperor, her voice was very cold, and her eyes were firm, she said: "If you have these words, the emperor should tell the young master himself, the servant is just a maid, if you tell the young master that these words are said by the emperor, the young master may be afraid I have suspicions about the slaves."
