Concubine You Can't: The Evil Emperor Dotes on Qingcheng Concubine

Chapter 43
Everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on Ji Mengwan, and they were obviously very curious about how the clothes were made.

Ji Mengwan showed embarrassment, this dress was given to her by Ji Zhuyu, she was so happy at the time that she actually
Forgot to ask her how to dress.If you tell the truth, Ji Zhuyu will definitely steal the limelight.It was hard for her to get the title of the most beautiful woman, and she was in the limelight for a while, how could Ji Zhuyu steal her limelight now.

But if she fails to report the truth to the emperor, she has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, and the reputation she has earned so hard will be completely ruined.

Seeing her silence for a long time, Concubine Liu kindly reminded her: "Miss Ji, what is the emperor asking you? Why don't you hurry up and tell the truth."

"Courtesy girl"

Ji Mengwan seldom stuttered and couldn't speak, the emperor's patience was limited, seeing that Ji Mengwan couldn't answer for a long time, his face became more and more gloomy.

At this time, a clear voice appeared in good time to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Your Majesty, this dress was given to my younger sister by a courtier, so my younger sister doesn't know how it is made, so I can't answer it. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor looked over, and among the crowd, a beautiful young girl in emerald green clothes stood out, standing out from the crowd of delicately dressed female relatives, and her beauty was remembered with just one glance.

Ji Mengwan stared at her resentfully, who made someone run away?
Ji Zhuyu rolled her eyes back, Miss, I am saving you, okay?If you can't answer anymore, if the emperor decides you to be a bully in a fit of anger, and then implicates me, I will find someone to reason with.

Ji Mengwan immediately turned her head away and asked you to take care of it!
The emperor asked suspiciously: "You are?"

"The maid's name is Ji Zhuyu, she is the eldest in Ji's residence, and she is Mengwan's elder sister."

Hearing this name, the crowd suddenly started talking again.After all, Huo Qing had a notorious reputation, so the women who were engaged to him were naturally very curious.Seeing her as a beautiful woman today, they all shook their heads and sighed, what a pity, what a pity.

The emperor seemed to be ignorant of Ji Zhuyu's marriage, he asked curiously: "You made this dress?"

Ji Zhuyu slowly replied: "Strictly speaking, it was not done by my daughter. In the courtyard of my daughter, there is a mother who is very good at weaving and dyeing cloth. My daughter occasionally sees fireflies flying among the grass on summer nights. So I asked, if fireflies were crushed into powder and put into the dye for dyeing cloth, would the clothes also glow? This was a casual mention, but my mother took it as a treasure. Unexpectedly, it took only half a month , was actually dyed by my mother into a glowing cloth, and then it was made into the clothes on the fourth sister, and the servant girl named it Yingmo pleated skirt."

"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!" After listening to the emperor, he laughed loudly, "It seems that Miss Ji Si can dance that rare dance in the world just now, and it's thanks to you!"

"The emperor praised it absurdly."

Concubine Yun looked at Ji Zhuyu suspiciously, and asked sternly: "Since such special clothes, why didn't you wear them yourself, instead gave them to Ji Mengwan?"

If you wear it by yourself, Ji Mengwan won't be able to win against Wan'er, and she won't lose such a big man in public, you accomplice!Concubine Yun's piercing eyes seemed to be real, fixed deeply on Ji Zhuyu's body, making people fearful.

But who is Ji Zhuyu? She is a modern female president. To her, this sight is nothing but pediatrics.

She still explained calmly: "I know that my daughter is crude, even if she wears this Yingmo pleated skirt, it will only increase the laughing stock, but the fourth sister in the family is as beautiful as a fairy, and I think it is more suitable for this dress than my daughter." , so I gave it to Fourth Sister."

As soon as the words fell, there was another burst of discussion among the people.Unexpectedly, the young miss of the Ji family would love her sister so much, and would give away such a beautiful dress without blinking an eye.If it were someone else, Duan Duan would not be able to be so selfless. After all, women have no resistance to beautiful clothes, especially fancy clothes that can overwhelm the crowd.

Concubine Liu praised sincerely: "You are a good boy, you know how to be humble."

The current emperor has always had a good impression of people who are respectful to brothers and sisters, and nodded in satisfaction, praising: "My concubine is right, she is indeed a good boy."

Ji Mengwan quickly turned her head to look at Ji Zhuyu, her eyes were full of unwillingness, Ji Zhuyu just said a few words casually, it was too cunning to get such high praise from the emperor.

Concubine Liu saw that the emperor had been here for a while, and the competition among the ladies also stopped. The atmosphere of the banquet was not as lively as before, so she said: "Okay, the emperor has been here for so long, so I just focus on talking , I haven’t even seen the excitement yet. Come on, ladies, we haven’t finished our previous performance, whose turn is it next?”

A eunuch reported back: "It's Miss Ji's family, Ji Zhuyu."

Concubine Liu was immediately happy, "Look, I praised you as a good boy, it's your turn, go up and perform, and let Ben Gong see what talents you have."

Being called out suddenly, Ji Zhuyu was also a little dazed, she hadn't figured out what to perform yet, so why is it her turn?It's a pity that so many pairs of eyes are looking at her, she can't avoid it, so she has to bite the bullet.

She took the flute from the attendant, yes, the talent she prepared was to play the flute.Although she has played it for many years, she doesn't know if the world can accept her.

In the silent summer night, Ji Zhuyu wore a green shirt and played music slowly on the stage.The sound of the song is clear and melodious, just like the beautiful figure on the stage, as if letting everyone be in the gurgling brook to relieve the heat of summer.It also seems to take everyone in a paradise, making people forget all their sorrows.

That's right, Ji Zhuyu's flute sound seems to have a power to cleanse people's hearts, making people release their sorrows in her flute sound, as if they were reborn.

After the song was played, everyone applauded as usual, but it was not as enthusiastic as Ji Mengwan's before.

During the banquet, Concubine Yun Gui and Concubine Liu had strange expressions on their faces. They glanced at the emperor anxiously, seeing that he seemed to be reminiscing the sound of the flute with his eyes closed, and there was no abnormal expression on his face. They both breathed a sigh of relief.Looking at Ji Zhuyu on the stage, he was thoughtful.

Ji Zhuyu didn't notice the strange stares at the banquet, seeing that no one criticized her for not playing well, she was secretly relieved.

It's fine if no one scolds her, she just hopes to complete the task without merit, and she doesn't want to be in the limelight, you know, being scolded is also a kind of limelight!Otherwise, which one of the stars in the previous life didn't get angry amidst the scolding.

Ji Zhuyu was about to step down when the emperor suddenly asked, "Who taught you to play the flute?"

Ji Zhuyu was puzzled, why did she suddenly ask her this, but she still answered honestly: "Back to the emperor, my daughter's mother left a flute for my daughter as a relic, and my daughter has nothing to do, so I figured it out by myself. "

The emperor nodded, said nothing more, waved his hand to signal Ji Zhuyu to step down, and Ji Zhuyu immediately saluted and left the stage.

But before she walked back to her seat, a court lady suddenly walked towards her, and the two bumped into each other without noticing it for a while.

The tea in the maid's hand was poured on Ji Zhuyu's hands at once, but fortunately the tea was not hot, and Ji Zhuyu was not burned either.

Ji Zhuyu didn't intend to blame the maid, but reminded her to be careful next time before leaving.But the palace maid was obviously terrified, took Ji Zhuyu's hand, took out a handkerchief and kept wiping her hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Miss, I'm sorry, this servant didn't do it on purpose, this servant will wipe it clean for you."

The palace lady looked very thin, but she was quite strong, Ji Zhuyu couldn't break free, so she had to stretch out her hands to let the palace lady toss.

After the maid carefully wiped Ji Zhuyu's hands clean, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly: "Miss, this servant has already wiped it clean for you."

"Well, thank you." Ji Zhuyu didn't care much, bypassed the maid and left.

But the palace lady stood still, with a weird smile on her lips, which made people shudder.
