After being forced to marry as a substitute, I became famous in the limbo

Chapter 10 Hairpin Auction ([-])
Lu Feng was taken aback for a moment, he opened his mouth as if trying to defend himself, but in the end he still couldn't say a word.

Jiang Ning once again bit a melon seed shell in his mouth, seeing Lu Feng's thick black eyebrow drooping, his expression was indescribably funny, "Okay, actually what I mean is..."

Just when Jiang Ning just uttered two words, Zhe Liu angrily threw a plate of pearls and emeralds on the low table in front of the two of them.

The pearls on the plate jolted violently with the impact, and several pearls slipped out from the edge and rolled to the ground.

Jiang Ning shook his hand, dropped the melon seeds in his hands, and watched Zhe Liu moved a chair between the low tables and sat down, with a hint of anger on his face.

"Why did you lose your temper so much?" Lu Feng had already picked up the pearls on the ground, he carefully blew off the dust on them, and put the pearls on the plate.

"Tell me yourself."

Jiang Ning was inexplicably guilty, she stretched out her right hand, and casually flicked on the bamboo tray, "Last night, I climbed over the wall and went to Concubine Liu's palace to ask for some peacock feathers."

"What?!" Lu Feng's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Jiang Ning in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, this servant knows that I shouldn't do anything wrong, but last time you have seen Concubine Liu Gui's temper!" Zhe Liu turned his head and said excitedly.

The blush left by the tear on the side of her eye socket did not completely dissipate, on the contrary, it became a little redder because of the emotional excitement.

Jiang Ning flipped Zhu Cui in front of him casually, and said hesitantly, "Actually, I think Concubine Liu Gui may not be as aggressive as she looks."

"Isn't that pungent?! Do you know that! The last time a little eunuch had his legs broken just because he offended her! Not only that!"

As Zhe Liu's voice continued to rise, the blush around her eyes also spread to her entire cheeks.

Seeing that Zhe Liu became more and more excited, Lu Feng put his hand on her shoulder in time, and said in a deep voice, "Zhe Liu, this is in the harem."

Zhe Liu's violently heaving chest seemed to calm down slowly because of Lu Feng's movement.

"Let's listen to what your mother has to say."

Jiang Ning glanced at Lu Feng gratefully.While picking out the beads with her hands, she told the two of what she saw and heard last night.

Zheliu's emotions gradually calmed down during her narration. She put her hand on her cheek and seemed a little unbelievable. Didn't blame you, but gave you the peacock feather?"

Jiang Ning nodded and added, "I also gave me hot tea and a cloak to keep warm."

"Conspiracy!" Zhe Liu gritted his teeth, "This must be a conspiracy! She must be trying to harm you!"

Jiang Ning held a pearl in his hand, and slowly rubbed it with his fingertips, "Is there anything I can plot against you?"

"She must be trying to win over Prime Minister Jiang." Zhe Liu said this, and shook his head in self-doubt, "It must be to drive a wedge between you and the emperor."

Jiang Ning suddenly felt reluctant to continue this topic. When she was in Shuanghua Palace last night, she vaguely felt that there was something strange, but she wanted to understand it anyway. At this moment, she suddenly realized it.

That is, she went to Shuanghua Palace to stay for so many days, but she never saw Mu Jingzhao in Shuanghua Palace.

Even, since she entered the palace for so long, she has never heard of which concubine Mu Jingzhao stayed in the womb late at night.

Originally, she thought it was because she was in the cold palace and the news was blocked, but now, she has recognized all the people in the palace, and she has listened to a lot of everyone chatting in private.

But she had never heard of Mu Jingzhao's favorite concubine.

"I suddenly thought of something." Jiang Ning tilted his head and carefully considered his words, "Why, I have been in the palace for so long, but I have never heard about the emperor... which concubine?"

Zhe Liu was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Lu Feng, on the other hand, blushed instantly.

"Niang Niang, your emperor, don't you know him well?"

Some unspeakable reasons arise in Jiang Ning's mind.

Concubines are rare, childless, never favored... All these things are intertwined, and the reason seems to be ready to be revealed.

"Could it be that he..." Jiang Ning said that sentence with some difficulty, "No?"

Zhe Liu suddenly laughed out loud, he was out of breath.

"Cough, cough, cough, ma'am, you really understand how to piss off the emperor."

Lu Feng was helpless, he patted Zhe Liu's back to help her let it go, and explained to Jiang Ning in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "The emperor has always been diligent in government and caring for the people, and never indulged in women."

Jiang Ning suddenly felt a little regretful, when she found out that the life in the palace was not as intriguing and intriguing as in the storybook.

Jiang Ning glanced at Zhucui, and held another red agate in his hand, "It's really amazing, I definitely can't replace it."

"Hahahahahaha——" Zheliu laughed even louder, leaning back and forth, completely forgetting what happened in Jiangning last night.

Jiang Ning's treachery succeeded, so he stopped talking and twisted his hairpin.

Naturally, three people can do things much faster than Jiang Ning alone.

In just one morning, the three of Jiang Ning twisted a bunch of hairpins.

Jiang Ning ordered Zhe Liu to find a wooden tray, put the finished hairpins in the tray,

Under the sun, the brightly colored jewels and the unique texture of peacock feathers complement each other, exuding an aesthetic feeling that is both elegant, luxurious and exotic.

Even Jiang Ning, a woman who never liked to dress herself up, couldn't help but be moved by it.

She casually fiddled with the hairpins in the tray, picked out one and handed it to Zheliu, "That's all, you find a nice box and put it in, this is the hairpin that I will sell tomorrow."

Zhe Liu took the hairpin and looked it over carefully, "Your Majesty has good eyesight, this hairpin is really the most beautiful among them."

Zhe Liu's gaze wandered over the hairpin, without the slightest concealed appreciation and longing in his eyes.

She fondled the peacock feathers on the hairpin with some pity, lowered her eyes, sighed softly, turned around and went to the house to find the box.

Just now he took a step out, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, we have made so many, why are you selling this one?"

Jiang Ning took the hairpin from the tray away with a smile, and carefully covered it with a piece of silk, "You will know tomorrow."

"It's a trick too." Zhe Liu muttered a few words in a low voice, and then entered the room with the hairpin in his hand.

After finishing the hairpin, Jiang Ning began to prepare for the next thing.

For the first time, she put on a new dress and put on some light makeup to get ready.

Jiang Ning ordered Lu Feng to move the chair she usually used for storytelling to the gate of the cold palace, and prepared twice as much tea and snacks as usual.

"Ma'am, do you think it's okay to write like this?"

Hearing the sound, Jiang Ning walked in the direction of Zheliu, and saw Zheliu lying in front of the table, holding a pen, and on the red paper on the table was written impressively, "Today's storytelling will be held at the main entrance of the Leng Palace. See you or leave."

Jiang Ning tilted his head and thought for a while, took the pen, and added a sentence below, "I have a great gift today, please go out and tell me."

She picked up the red paper and nodded in satisfaction, "That's right."

"Your majesty, your handwriting is really beautiful."

Jiang Ning smiled, didn't speak, took Zhe Liu and pasted the paper on the big hole used for storytelling.
