Ji Ling turned around and saw that the people opposite were Concubine Qian, Guiren Li, and Ma Changzai.
When those people saw that they were from Jigui, they were also stunned.
Concubine Qian secretly cursed "bad luck!" - How can things in this world be so coincidental? Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will come!
I don’t know if Ji Guiren heard what she just said, “You can’t give birth to a boy and a half girl”...
After all, for women in the harem, children are their hope for life and their support in their later years. Words like "I can't give birth to a boy and a girl" are extremely mean and vicious to any concubine.
What's more, this noble nobleman... Qianbi thought to herself: As the saying goes: a dog that bites doesn't bark!
Don't look at this noble man who is quiet and doesn't talk much all day long. The more such a person is, the more rude he is when he stabs others in the back!
What's more, given the current favor of the noble nobles, if they shed a few tears in front of the emperor and stumbling upon them, it would be as easy as eating and drinking.
Li Guiren and Ma Changzai had similar thoughts to Concubine Qian. At this time, they all looked at Ji Ling anxiously and cautiously looked at the expression on Ji Guiren's face.
The two of them are different from the Qian concubine - at least the Qian concubine is still a concubine!
The two of them, one is a noble person who is not favored, and the other is Chang Zai who is not even favored. If they offend the popular person in the palace now - the noble person Ji...
Both Li Gui and Ma Chang regretted it in their hearts, and secretly complained about Concubine Qian - she was so careless! Where can I talk nonsense? It must be in the west side hall!
All the concubines are still there.
Too careless.
Ma Changzai was the first to muster up the courage to step forward. She walked quickly to Ji Ling, knelt down and said with a timid smile: "My concubine, please pay your respects to Mr. Ji!"
Li Guiren also came forward slowly. A good man doesn't want to suffer the immediate consequences. No matter how embarrassing the situation is, he has to get over it first.
She gave Ji Ling a flat salute - even though it was a flat salute, her knees were squatted a little lower than the flat salute.
Ji Ling glanced at Ma Changzai and said calmly: "Ma Changzai, please get up."
She called Ma Changzai and returned the courtesy to Li Guiren politely.
Unexpectedly, Li Guiren hurriedly bent his knees again and reached out to help Ji Ling, but his support was in vain.
Concubine Qian saw that there was neither anger nor fluctuation on Ji Ling's face, but she could not tell what she was thinking - it was as if what they had just said had not fallen into her ears at all.
That look... somewhat resembles the way the emperor usually looks deep in thought.
The expression in her eyes darkened, and her heart became increasingly weak.
Ji Ling took a step forward with a smile, almost approaching Concubine Qian, and said warmly: "My concubine, please pay your respects to Concubine Qian! Concubine Qian, Jin'an!"
Concubine Qian couldn't help but take a step back, almost bumping into her personal maid.
She stretched out her hand to stop Ji Ling, her face was full of colors, and all kinds of expressions rolled over in an instant. In the end, she just forced a smile and said: "Ji Gui, you don't need to be polite! You don't need to be polite!"
Ji Ling leaned forward slightly, then straightened his back.
Concubine Qian turned her eyes, saw the clothes Qixi was holding, and saw the hem of her robe soaked with tea, and she understood. She immediately changed the subject and said with a smile: "Ah! Ji Guiren accidentally poured tea on her."
Is it on your body? Do you want to change clothes?"
Before Ji Ling could speak, Zhang Guiren looked cold and said stiffly: "Replying to Concubine Qian, thank you for your concern! Yes, Guiren Ji spilled tea on her body, and I accompanied her to change..."
She paused, raised her eyebrows, and continued: "... I never thought that when I was halfway down the road, I was suddenly shouted at from behind by Empress Qian! It really disturbed the empress."
The expression on Concubine Qian's face subtly changed for a moment.
She glanced at Zhang Guiren coldly, then suddenly turned around and sternly scolded Ma Changzai and Li Guiren: "You two forced me to come out for some fresh air, but the two of you started talking about it.
Crazy words come without any sense! Singing and matching together, what a shame!"
Ma Changzai knelt down with a plop, a look of fear on his face, and his eyes were red: "I know my mistake! I know my mistake! This is what I taught you."
Li Guiren raised his chin slightly, with a look of reluctance on his face. He gritted his teeth, bent his knees, followed Ma Chang behind, and hummed in a low voice: "My Majesty taught me that I made mistakes, so I must obey your Majesty's teachings."
Concubine Qian raised her hand to help her hair, and when she raised her head to face Ji Ling, her face had returned to a calm look. She just smiled softly, waved to Qixi and said: "Go and wait on your noble family to change clothes."
Right! I remember that Ji Gui’s health was not very good. He had been seriously ill and was so wet. After a while, the wind blew!"
…
After pulling Ji Ling away, Zhang Guiren immediately said bitterly: "Sister Ji, you must not take to heart what those villains say with their backs to the wall and gossip!"
Ji Ling twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, but did not answer. He just said: "Let's go change clothes and go back quickly."
The leading maid and several people finally arrived at the wing room - the wing room in the west side hall is also very tall and wide, and the color scheme of the courtyard is solemn and elegant.
After walking in, there were two young eunuchs guarding the inner room. Seeing Ji Ling dressed in noble clothes, they quickly knelt down and called Qian'er to say hello.
After Ji Ling called out, the two young eunuchs pushed the door open, and two more maids knelt down to greet Ji Ling.
Ji Ling asked them all to leave.
Several palace maids curtsied and saluted, and when they came to the door, they closed the door gently. Qixi carefully checked all the windows in the room to make sure they were closed tightly, and then she took the clean clothes in her hands and shook them off.
He stood up and straightened his collar.
Zhang Guiren rolled up his sleeves and began to help Ji Ling change clothes with Qixi. He said angrily: "Sister Ji, just now Concubine Qian, what Li Guiren and others said is really vicious! Sister, you are in the palace, and you are a human being."
He has always been restrained and restrained in his dealings, and he has never interacted with the Qian concubine. He has never offended her - even if the emperor dotes on his sister, it is not her fault!
How can they curse their sister like this with no one behind them!"
Ji Ling raised his hand to ask them to take off their sleeves, and said slowly: "It's just a coincidence that we walked here today and happened to hear it.
You also said that Concubine Qian has never been in contact with me, but she can still speak like this behind my back. You can imagine how many people in this harem are saying even meaner things behind my back!"
Zhang Guiren raised his hand to unbutton her. Unexpectedly, the button was difficult to unbutton, so Qixi stepped forward and said, "Zhang Guiren, I'll do it!"
Zhang Guiren stepped aside and when he saw Ji Ling's lips twitching slightly, he glared at her, reached out and poked her shoulder and said, "Sister Ji, thank you for being able to laugh!"
Ji Ling raised her chin to facilitate her unbuttoning, and said leisurely: "If I don't laugh, how can I cry? One person can't take advantage of all the good things in this world - since he has obtained the emperor's favor that others cannot,
There are a few harsh words that make others jealous, but I can only accept them!"
