If Mr. Hai wanted to say anything else, the queen had already said with a cold face: "My lord Hai, the imperial doctor has also made a diagnosis. Please kneel in peace and go back to recuperate." She then said: "With the harmony in the harem, the emperor can rest assured about the affairs of the country. This is the reason.
Mao Bin has always been very knowledgeable. This time I will fine you a salary of half a year. You must learn from Mao Bin."
After the queen said these words, she turned to Yin and asked, "Your Majesty, do you think it is appropriate to treat this concubine like this?"
Yin didn't speak. Ulanara looked up at him and realized that his eyes were falling on Ji in the corner.
Ulanara's heart trembled slightly and said: "Your Majesty?"
Yin came back to his senses and thought for a moment. He thought about the domineering look of Hai Guiren just now, and saw that the mouse's arms were in terrible shape. In addition, he had heard that Jin Gui, the palace maid in Hai Guiren's courtyard, died inexplicably.
.
Putting all these things together, he said with disgust: "Hai Gui has no dignity, is mean and arrogant, and I really don't like it. From now on, I agree to move out of Jingyang Palace."
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you. Listening to his tone, I knew that there was no room for change.
Yin continued: "The slaves who make mistakes will be punished and sent to Xin Zheku according to the Queen's wishes. Concubine Ning Zhongzheng said that Mao concubines are very tolerant and will each be rewarded with a salary for half a year."
Hai Guiren was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to react. She knelt down, grabbed the hem of Yin's clothes, and cried: "Your Majesty, I know that I was wrong. I really know that I was wrong.
I will never dare to do it again! Please, don’t lower me to a promise! I finally entered the palace and became a noble person, and I don’t want to be the laughing stock of everyone in the harem!”.
The queen scolded from behind: "If you don't help Hai, agree to stand down!" The servants rushed forward to help Hai Guiren, but Hai Guiren grabbed Yin's robe tightly with both hands. When the eunuch Su Peisheng saw this, he immediately stepped forward and pulled Yin's robe away.
open.
The queen took a few steps forward and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion. To discuss the general concept of knowledge, Mao Bi is well-deserved. I think... it is better for Hai to agree to stay in Jingyang Palace temporarily and study with Mao Bi.
Women's virtues and women's precepts can be regarded as a role model, what does the emperor think?"
Yin didn't say another word, but just glanced at the queen lightly and said: "The queen seems to be very protective of Haishi? I heard that a palace maid died in Haishi's courtyard a while ago, and it was the queen who took care of it?".
The queen was shocked and did not dare to say anything more.
Yin stood up and walked out. People in the room immediately knelt down and squatted, saying: "Congratulations to the Emperor!".
When passing by Ji Ling, Yin paused, looked back and said to the queen: "It's freezing cold, the palace clothes in Jingyang are burned with charcoal, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is looking after them carefully. There is no shortage of anything."
The queen immediately squatted down and said, "I understand."
After Yin left, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief. Only Hai agreed and collapsed on the ground crying. At this time, the Queen slumped down on the chair and felt a cold sweat.
Everyone retires.
By the time he returned to his west room, it was already midnight. Ji Ling walked in, had just changed into pajamas, and immediately collapsed on the bed.
It’s true that a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse!
Although the west room is the worst room in Jingyang Palace, it is also the room that makes Ji Ling feel most at ease.
"Chang Zai, it's really dangerous tonight!" Qixi brought a basin and a hot towel to help Ji Ling scrub. She covered her heart and kept sighing: "I'm almost scared to death. I've been in the palace for several years.
,This is the first time this slave has spoken in front of the Emperor and Queen."
Ji Ling snorted and said: "Is the late night snack cold? Hurry up and find a way to heat it up, I'm almost starving!".
Qixi couldn't laugh or cry: "Chang Zai, you still think about eating!".
Ji Ling pushed her: "Go quickly, go quickly!".
After a while, sweet supper was placed on the table, with four colors in total. They were sweet sesame dumplings with bean paste, calamus green dumplings, sweet osmanthus and lotus root soup, and pine nut yellow cake. They were all Jiangnan pastries, exquisite and small.
The bean paste sesame balls are wrapped in brown sugar. The brown sugar is boiled into a sauce. It is thick and fragrant. It is wrapped neatly on the outside. The sesame balls are rolled with a thick layer of white sesame seeds, which is fragrant and crispy. When you take a bite of the bean paste inside, you will immediately It flows out hot and hot.
The calamus green balls were placed one by one on the porcelain plate, like pieces of jasper, elegant and delicious. The calamus was not originally supposed to be available in this season. Ji Ling took a bite and thought it was very strange. Maybe there is an icehouse in the dining room of the Forbidden City. Frozen calamus?
The pine nut Huang Qian Gao has a soft and glutinous texture, with a fine layer of powdered sugar sprinkled on top. It is a bit like the donkey rolling in old Beijing, but it tastes different. The Huang Qian Gao is divided into two layers, one is sweet, and the other is sweet. A layer of salty, flavors mixed together.
After eating and drinking enough, Ji Ling had a good sleep.
As soon as I woke up the next day, I heard Xiao Fenzi running over and saying that someone was coming to the concubine's palace. She said that the concubine wanted to invite Ji Chang to have breakfast with her.
Ji Ling didn't say anything, and asked Qixi to quickly help her freshen up, because the two dark green flag clothes were circulated last night, and the only thing she could wear now was another old clothes that had faded in the wash.
Ji Ling put it on, and suddenly thought of Baochai in the Dream of Red Mansions wearing clothes that were "half new but not old".
Qixi still gave her a straight-headed comb.
Ji Ling looked at her sallow face in the mirror. She originally wanted to apply some liquid foundation, but then she thought about it and put it down. She just dabbed a little bit of lip and cheek rouge from a French brand on her lips.
As soon as they entered the main hall of Jingyang Palace, Mao Bi came up to her and held Ji Ling's hand affectionately: "Sister Chang Zai is finally here! I see that you look even better today than yesterday!" .
Ji Ling's hand was still held by her, so he didn't rush to take it out. He squatted down on his knees in this position: "I'll invite you to Mao Bi..." Before he could finish his sentence, he was immediately supported by Mao Bi. He stopped and said: "Sisters, you and I, no need to be polite, get up quickly!".
Ji Ling smiled so hard that her eyebrows curled up and she said, "The queen thinks highly of me, so I cannot disrespect the queen!".
Mao Bi smiled and said: "Hai promised that since we have moved out of Jingyang Palace, we sisters will be here to keep each other company from now on. We should be more friendly to each other."
After entering the main hall and just sitting down, Ji Ling opened his eyes wide and looked at the table filled with breakfast dishes in front of him and said: "Mother Maobin, I am really blessed! It turns out that the breakfast here is so rich!" .
Mao Bi couldn't help but lower her head and smile, then she raised her head and said to Jasmine: "I will always be here to serve you, and I will provide you with food."
Jasmine agreed, stepped forward, raised her chopsticks, and put the pieces on the plate for Ji Ling.
Qixi saw Ji Ling's greedy look: "I want this! Have some of that cake too...and another one!"
…
Qixi couldn't figure it out: Is my ever-present stomach a bottomless pit? I just finished my supper and slept for less than two hours, and now I'm so hungry?
Mao Bi sat on the other side of the table, looking at Ji Ling calmly, with a slightly mocking smile on her lips.
