Luo Junyao was sitting in the garden in a daze, a little bored. This was her third day in the palace.
In fact, there are not as many rules as Da Sheng in the palace of the Qi people. Bai Ning obviously did not intend to teach her those rules, but only briefly talked about some taboos in the palace.
Although the current King Ji Zhan of Qi has many concubines, they are obviously not enough in front of the Queen Mother Bai Jingrong.
Bai Jingrong has almost monopolized the Qi harem for decades, and even her daughter-in-law has a psychological shadow on her.
Therefore, now that Bai Jingrong has become the Queen Mother, the newly appointed queen and ladies still dare not show any slight to the people around the Queen Mother.
"neat."
Hearing Bai Ning's voice, Luo Junyao immediately jumped up from the ground, "Sister Bai Ning."
Bai Ning looked at her carefully and said, "Why are you dressed like this? Didn't you wear the clothes someone gave me last night?"
Luo Junyao said sheepishly: "Everyone is wearing this kind of clothes..." Bai Ning gave her two sets of very exquisite and beautiful clothes last night, which attracted the attention of everyone living together.
As a new arrival, wouldn't she be making herself uncomfortable by showing off in the palace dressed like that?
Bai Ning shook his head and said, "The Queen Mother wants to see you, so go and change your clothes."
"The Queen Mother wants to see me?" Luo Junyao said in surprise.
Bai Ning nodded: "Go quickly and tidy up. The queen and ladies are here too. Don't embarrass the queen."
Luo Junyao responded, but secretly said in his heart: "In front of the queen and Ji Zhan's concubines, even if she wears ordinary maid clothes, she can't lose Bai Jingrong's face.
Despite thinking this, Luo Junyao quickly went back and changed his clothes.
Bai Ning looked at the girl who came out of the room. Different from the plain clothes of ordinary maids, this set of clothes was made of original materials. The light purple clothes were also embroidered with the unique patterns of the Qi people, which were not as elegant and exquisite as those in the Central Plains.
, but it also has the style of a nation outside the Great Wall.
Bai Ning nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Very good, Chu Chu is so beautiful, no worse than those previously selected into the palace."
"Sister Bai Ning, thank you very much. I have also met those girls. They are all great beauties."
Luo Junyao is very self-aware. The most outstanding feature of the disguise given to her by Qin Yaoer is that her beauty is not obvious, and she is commonly known as average-looking.
She may be considered outstanding in the same batch, but compared to those beauties with fair skin, beautiful faces, and even enchanting blonde hair and blue eyes, she can only be regarded as beautiful now.
She is so beautiful, but it is covered up a lot by her skin color.
"Sister Bai Ning, what did the Queen Mother ask me to do?" Luo Junyao asked in confusion.
It couldn't be that Bai Jingrong planned to give her to Ji Zhan, right? Then Bai Jingrong's vision was a bit poor.
Although he was slandering in his heart, Luo Junyao still looked obedient and obedient, and followed Bai Ning all the way to the main hall.
Speaking of which, she hadn't seen Bai Jingrong for several years, and she didn't know if the stunning beauty who was famous all over the world in the past was still as beautiful now.
The main hall was bustling with about a dozen women in various costumes, all of whom were Ji Zhan's wives and concubines. Some of them were daughters of noble Qi people, as well as beautiful women who were born slaves.
The Qi people don't care about their origins like the people in the Central Plains. Anyway, how they live after entering the palace depends on the power behind them or the degree of favor they receive.
As long as the family behind them does not collapse, these noble ladies of the Qi tribe will never have to worry about having a bad life in the palace.
But others are different. All they can rely on is their beauty and the favor of King Qi. But no one knows how long this favor can last.
People like them, even after giving birth to a child, are still helpless as long as the son does not grow up.
These two types of people can be clearly distinguished just by the look between their brows.
Bai Jingrong looked lazily at the queen sitting below him and said, "It's rare that your majesty has the filial piety to allow you to accompany me."
The queen's face looked a little embarrassed, "The king should be filial to his mother. We are all our mother's juniors, so naturally we should be filial to our mother."
"That's what the queen sister said." The young woman sitting next to the queen also said: "It is our blessing to be with the queen mother."
Bai Jingrong looked at the two of them with a half-smile, raised her hand to caress her cheek, and sighed: "Yes, I have become the Queen Mother, I have become an old man, and the King has also grown up."
The awkward smile on the queen's face faltered, "Mother, mother..."
The Queen Mother never likes people to mention her age, even though she is more beautiful than all the women present. But the passage of time may be more cruel to the stunning beauty.
Bai Jingrong glanced at her lightly and said: "Okay, the king is filial, and I am happy in my heart. It just so happens that you are all here today, and I will also let you meet someone."
Seeing that she had no intention of pursuing the matter, the queen breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Ning led Luo Junyao into the hall, and Luo Junyao was almost dazzled by the beauties with different styles in the hall.
Ji Zhan is so lucky.
Of course, the most eye-catching one is Bai Jingrong.
Bai Jingrong only wore a casual plain white dress, with a light golden shawl draped over her shoulders. Her hair was just rolled up casually, looking very lazy and casual.
Luo Junyao saluted Bai Jingrong according to the rules he had learned in the past two days, and then he felt everyone's eyes on him.
Whether it was the queen or others, they were obviously puzzled by Bai Jingrong suddenly asking them to meet a strange girl. After carefully looking at the girl for a long time, they could not see anything unique about this girl.
"Mother, this is..." the queen said hesitantly.
Bai Jingrong was also looking at Luo Junyao. When she first saw Luo Junyao's appearance, she frowned slightly, but she soon relaxed.
"This girl's name is Chu Chu. She just entered the palace two days ago. She suits my eyes very well." Bai Jingrong chuckled.
Luo Junyao thought to himself: "You are really good at telling nonsense. This is the first time you have met me."
The queen couldn't express any opinions, so she smiled and said, "As long as mother likes it."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Bai Jingrong smiled and waved to Luo Jun, saying: "Good boy, come here."
Luo Junyao walked up to Bai Jingrong and said, "Your Majesty."
Bai Jingrong reached out to hold her hand and said softly: "Bai Ning said, is your mother from the Central Plains?"
"Yes." Luo Junyao responded, but he couldn't help but think in his heart: "What would happen if she stabbed Bai Jingrong now?"
Bai Jingrong sighed softly and said: "Poor child, you have been living alone at a young age. Are you willing to be my adopted daughter?"
Luo Junyao was shocked: You want to be Xie Yan's mother-in-law!
Bai Jingrong thought she was frightened and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid. Bai Ning said you are well-behaved and sensible, and I like you. If you are willing, stay in the palace and be my daughter, and you will naturally have everything you want in the future."
, I don’t have to suffer those pains anymore. How about that?”
Luo Junyao pretended to be surprised and panicked, "Duo, thank you for the gift, it's just me..."
She lowered her head and looked inferior, "I don't know anything, and I don't look good..."
Bai Jingrong snorted softly and said, "Who said you don't look good? Just stay by my side and let me take care of you for two months. I will make sure you look good."
Luo Junyao hesitated. Seeing this, Bai Jingrong's voice deepened, "What? You don't want to?"
Luo Junyao quickly shook his head and said: "No...I, slave, am naturally willing. Thank you for your grace."
Bai Jingrong said with satisfaction: "That's good. In that case, from now on you..."
"Mother." The queen next to her couldn't sit still, and finally couldn't help but interrupt Bai Jingrong.
Bai Jingrong looked at her displeased, and the queen said: "Mother, do you want to tell the king about this first?"
Bai Jingrong snorted softly and said, "What? The king won't let me go out, and now he can't even accept an adopted daughter?"
The queen did not want to get involved in the fight between mother and son, but her identity prevented her from staying out of the matter, so she had no choice but to say: "My mother's adopted daughter is the king's sister. Mother should tell the king.
Besides, it is a happy event for the mother to adopt an adopted daughter, so that the king can come and meet my sister."
"Oh?" Bai Jingrong glanced at her slightly mockingly and said, "In that case, the queen should send someone to tell A-Zhan."
The queen didn't care much, so she quickly sent someone to find Ji Zhan, lest the king would find out that he had an extra sister for no reason and be dissatisfied with her.
Luo Junyao stood aside with his head lowered. No one in the room, including the queen and ladies, or Bai Jingrong, who said he wanted to accept her as his adopted daughter, took her seriously.
She just pretended that the little girl had never seen the world. At this moment, she felt happy and scared and didn't know what to do.
Bai Jingrong looked at her critically. She was not satisfied with Luo Junyao, but she couldn't find any other suitable candidate at this time.
Naturally, there are many outstanding mixed-race girls from the Central Plains in the royal court of the Qi people, but now Bai Jingrong cannot trust these people.
Unlike the first generation of Bai Jiajun who followed Bai Jingrong into the Qi tribe, the new generation of mixed-race young people, except for a very small number, are more supportive of Ji Zhan. In addition, many elders of the Bai Jiajun have begun to favor Ji Zhan for the sake of their children.
If you choose from those people, there is no guarantee that you will pick someone.
Anyway... Bai Jingrong sneered in his heart, appearance and qualifications are not important.
He's just a chess piece, as long as he's obedient and obedient.
"Mother." Ji Zhan came quickly, followed by Ji Rong who came with him.
Ji Rong is still as pale and thin as before, but Ji Zhan looks tall and handsome, a man with an outstanding appearance.
He has the tall stature and strong outline of the Qi people, and is a bit more delicate and elegant than the Qi people. He can indeed be regarded as an outstanding descendant of the mixed blood of the two races.
"Kings."
"I met my mother."
Bai Jingrong smiled and said: "Azhan, Arong, are you all here? Come here quickly and take a look. This is the new sister that mother has found for you."
Ji Zhan and Ji Rong looked at Luo Junyao together. Ji Zhan frowned and said, "What do you mean, mother?"
Bai Jingrong sighed softly and said: "It's nothing, mother just feels that she is getting old, and she should prepare for some things. You and A Rong don't need mother to worry, it's just..."
"The most regretful thing in my life is that I don't have a daughter, otherwise I would definitely give her everything I know and have."
Bai Jingrong smiled sweetly and said: "But now, I have your sister. I will teach her well, and in the future... I will give her everything in my hand."
