It was Ming Chang who deliberately avoided covering it with his sleeves while drinking tea.
Not a bite was taken, it was all on the handkerchief between the sleeves.
Although she is young, she is not a fool.
When drinking concubine Bai's tea, who knows what's in it.
If it was harmful to her body, wouldn't her whole life's future be ruined here?
So be extra cautious.
Ye Guiren glanced sideways at this scene, and became more and more certain in his heart, knowing that Chang Zai was not a simple person.
When he put down the cup, he smiled at Bai Bin and said.
"Your Majesty, this tea is really good. It tastes sweet and has a strong aroma."
"Ye Guiren is quite knowledgeable. I must have seen some good tea when I was a palace maid in the Inner Palace."
The time when the white concubine entered the palace was one year later than when Ye Guiren accepted the favor.
But it climbs quickly.
Even though she has no children, she can still climb to the concubine position. One can imagine the honor and favor she once had.
Compared with Ye who gave birth to a stillborn fetus and relied on the emperor's little guilt to become a noble, she was naturally more proud.
After hearing such words, Ye Guiren was not angry at all.
She didn't care about the past that others wanted to cover up.
As if being born as a palace maid is not such a shame.
He replied with a smile.
"That's what the Queen said."
This punch hit the cotton, and Bai Bin felt very bored.
So he turned the muzzle of his gun, looked at Ming Changzai, and said with deep meaning.
"Ming Chang is here to accompany you well. It is rare to see such honors and favors. If you have the chance, you have to climb faster. Otherwise, you will still not be able to be the lord of the first house at an old age, and you will be sad in the future."
In one sentence, all three people were mapped.
Ye Guiren still acted calmly, as if he couldn't hear anything.
Du Changzai's face turned cold, his lips were filled with anger and he did not dare to say anything.
Ming Changzai knew that what she said was for himself, and also for the two people next to him.
Now is not a good time to confront him, so I can only lower my head and say it very obediently.
"What the empress said is true, please remember it carefully."
Bai Bin glanced mockingly.
Another dull gourd, he didn't even dare to say a word when he was bullied.
I don’t know what the emperor likes about her!
How can concubine Bai be happy if the bad breath in her heart doesn't come out.
He glanced sideways at Bai Zhi beside him, and the master and servant immediately understood what they were thinking.
He stretched out his hand to support the crabapple plant beside his temples and changed the topic.
"Look, sisters, this was given to me by the emperor back then. How exquisite is it?"
I saw that the workmanship of Haitang Buyao was exquisite, and each petal was woven with fine gold threads.
Not only that, the stamens in the middle are inlaid with Eastern beads, which is very beautiful.
All three of them thought she was trying to show off their former favor, so they all smiled awkwardly.
"Ming Changzai, what do you think?"
The conversation was thrown directly at her, and it seemed a little unreasonable not to answer it.
Ming Changzai pretended to take a closer look, and then said with envy in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, you are so lucky. Your Majesty really loves your Majesty very much."
Women in the harem, who doesn't like to hear these words.
Even if the people standing in front of them were Concubine Lin, Concubine Yi and others, I am afraid they would not refuse such praise.
Sure enough, Concubine Bai pretended to be proud.
He stood up and thought about walking out of the pavilion.
He said as he walked.
"Ming Changzai is really good at talking. No wonder the emperor likes you. I also feel that I like you a little now. Let's go and take a walk with me. The flowers in this garden are blooming so beautifully. It would be a pity not to appreciate them.
"
Ming Chang was asked to accompany him by name, and she was a little stunned.
Ye Gui and Du Changzai behind him also realized what was going on, so they stood up and said.
"Your Majesty and Ming Chang are visiting the garden, so the maids and concubines won't disturb them too much. There is something else to do in the yard, so let's go back first."
Ye Guiren's words are very concubine-like.
He said "Yeah" and walked down the steps.
Then when he saw that Ming Changzai hadn't followed, he turned to look at her and said slightly provocatively.
"What? You don't want to?"
Ming Chang didn't dare to directly contradict Bai Bi now, so he bit the bullet and followed her.
The maid who was serving them also left, leaving only Ye Gui and Du Chang in the Yiran Pavilion.
At this moment, Du Changzai said what he had been holding back for a long time.
"Bai concubine's words are so harsh. It's true that we are palace maids, but she's not that noble. She's just a showgirl from the south of the Yangtze River. She doesn't have any foundation in the family, so she just wants to put money on her face!"
"Okay, you have been getting along with her for many years. It's not like you don't know her temper. Come on, let's go back first."
"Won't you come over and take a look?"
"What are you looking at?"
Ye Guiren looked at Du Changzai calmly, but she was very happy.
"Hmph, how can Concubine Bai let Ming Chang Zai go so easily? I don't believe it. What are you going to do with me? You're just watching a joke."
"If you are not afraid of being punished, then go alone. You know clearly that Bai Bing took Ming Changzai away to avoid suspicion. If you go to join in the fun now, aren't you a witness? If you are brought in front of the emperor, you will have offended Bai Bing.
Concubine? Or have you offended Ming Chang Zai?"
Ye Guiren hit the nail on the head.
Du Chang thought about it and found it very reasonable.
After muttering a few words, he followed Ye Guiren reluctantly.
In the garden, the white concubine was admiring the flowers. She and Ming Chang were walking further and further into the forest.
Ming Changzai held his hands tightly, fearing to show any trace of fear.
Asking concubine Bai to see the joke but not tell it is easy for others to find trouble.
Pei'er, who was following her, was also very anxious. If the concubine Bai made trouble here, wouldn't their little mistress make the sky not respond and the earth become inoperable?
Just when I was thinking about how to run out and ask for help, I heard Bai Bin walking over with the Haitang in her hand.
Ming Changzai thought that she was going to scratch her face with her walking stick, so he was immediately frightened and took a few steps back.
An inadvertent step broke several branches.
If your feet slip, you will fall backwards.
Ming Changzai leaned forward violently due to his body's reaction.
This time, she managed to regain her footing, but Bai Bin kicked her on the kneecap, causing her to gasp in pain.
He just fell to his knees.
Coincidentally, the sharp branches on the ground also poked my leg, adding to the injury.
"Hey, Ming Chang is so polite? You just bowed so generously, and now you kneel down again? Are you asking for mercy from me? Or someone else?"
She laughed heartily, but Ming Changzai, who was kneeling on the ground, was in so much pain that he could not speak.
Pei'er, the maid who was accompanying him, immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, crying out to Concubine Bai.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Bai Bin glanced at her and sneered.
"What did I do? I asked you to beg for mercy here? I didn't have to spread the news. It made people outside think that I was trying to find trouble with Ming Chang Zai!"
