For a moment, all the concubines cast their fiery glances over.
Gillington suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention, and all kinds of eyes fell on her.
Ji Ling raised his eyes and glanced at Yin, only to find that Yin was actually smiling and staring at him with a gentle expression.
Ji Ling met his usually sharp but now gentle eyes and immediately felt a little at a loss.
But soon, Ji Ling burst into tears in her heart: Giving vegetables, in front of a large crowd, it was the birthday party of the concubine Nian, so nakedly inciting hatred...how many losses must be forged...
Just for a dish of three fresh dragon and phoenix balls? What a bad deal!
Su Peisheng saw Ji Guiren's flattered expression, stood up solemnly, bowed his head to Yin and saluted and thanked Yin: "I thank the emperor for the reward!".
Immediately, Qixi stepped forward and took the three fresh dragon and phoenix balls from Su Peisheng's hand.
It is a great honor for the emperor to give food to him. Yin's temperament has always been indifferent. When Su Peisheng saw him before, even at clan banquets, he would only do this to princes and heroes.
What's more, after the emperor saw that Mr. Ji liked to eat the three-fresh dragon and phoenix balls, he did not reward Mr. Ji with the remaining ones in front of him, but directly asked Su Peisheng to send someone to the dining room to get another one.
Why? It’s not a question of whether the dish has been touched or not. Anyway, the eunuch serving as the waiter used silver chopsticks to pick out the dishes from the banquet table.
Besides, since the Emperor tasted it himself, which of the concubines would dare to dislike the Emperor's saliva?
Su Peisheng thought that the reason why Yin asked people to get the three fresh dragon and phoenix balls again was because he had already eaten half of his dish and only half was left.
The emperor is afraid that the noble people will not have enough to eat.
Don't underestimate this detail, the emperor has never been so concerned about the harem...
Su Peisheng thought about it, while handing the dishes to Qixi with both hands, he bowed deeply to Mr. Ji and stepped back.
During the next half of the banquet, Ji Ling did not dare to eat any more, and kept an eye on the concubines and empresses in high positions.
If the ladies ate, she would follow suit and take a few bites; if they put down their chopsticks, Ji Ling would have no choice but to wipe her mouth with a towel and put down her chopsticks.
Then Ji Ling belatedly discovered something: it turned out that few of the concubines in the audience could really move their chopsticks freely!
For example, Concubine Ning, Ji Ling saw her pick a piece of water shield with shredded chicken with chopsticks, and then while listening to Concubine Yu's words, she just put the piece of water shield on the plate, turned it over, and played with it for a long time...
…
Wencai: What mistake did I make...
So, in the second half, Ji Ling kept eating like this, not daring to indulge in every dish, and could only taste it briefly, which was simply more painful than not eating at all.
After a long ordeal, everyone knelt down to the emperor and left one after another.
Ji Ling specially bowed to Concubine Qi.
Concubine Qi helped her today, she must remember this kindness.
Ji Ling squatted at the entrance of Yikun Palace, watching Concubine Qi get on the shoulder carriage, and smiled at Zhang Guiren in the distance, and saw Zhang Guiren smiling shyly at him, in a very innocent and very innocent way.
A clean smile.
Ji Ling took Qixi back to the east courtyard of Jingyang Palace.
As soon as he entered the small courtyard gate, Ji Ling took a breath.
Before she traveled through time, she actually had a bit of social phobia. She always felt that she was happiest when staying at home alone, watching TV dramas and reading novels. At most, she would go out for a small party with a few of her best friends from school.
In the company, whether it is a department gathering or an annual meeting, it is a stressful event for her.
Unexpectedly, after traveling to the Yongzheng period more than 200 years ago, this "entertainment" still cannot be escaped...
Ji Ling was taken care of by Qixi, who took off the hairpins from her hair and took off her flowerpot-soled shoes. She felt more than half of her body was loose. She sat on the edge of the bed while Qixi brought hot water and gently used a hot towel.
Massage Ji Ling's feet.
Ji Ling lowered his head and saw steam rising from the hot water in the wooden barrel. His ten swollen little toes were soaked in the water, making small splashes.
She couldn't help but think of the disappointment that flashed in Concubine Nian's eyes when Yin left today at the birthday banquet in Yikun Palace.
Qixi took the dry towel that had been prepared on the wooden stand nearby, tightened it quickly, and then lifted Ji Ling's feet out of the water and placed them on her knees. She wiped Ji Ling's feet and whispered a reminder.
Ji Ling: "Master, what should we do with that 'little fish'?".
When Ji Ling was reminded by her, she thought of Rouge.
Qixi said in a low voice: "The master deliberately let Rouge hear the conversation between the slave and the master, so that Rouge thought that the emperor liked the concubines to wear light snow-green colors, so he ran to tell the master behind her that the empress in Yikun Palace, so Concubine Nian today
I just wore snow-blue color.”
Ji Ling also whispered: "Yes, you and Bixue have been reminding me to deal with this Yanzhi quickly. I also knew that you were doing it for my own good. It's just that she was a slave sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and could not
Drive away immediately, otherwise it will be too eye-catching, so you need to know that things should be done slowly."
She paused and then said: "Secondly, I also want to calm down and see who is the person behind Yanzhi who wants to cause trouble for me? I originally thought it was Mao Bin, because...".
Qixi looked up at her.
Ji Ling said: "Do you still remember that time when Concubine Mao came over to persuade me to accept my favor and have a son as soon as possible, and then give it to Concubine Nian to raise?".
Qixi nodded and said, "I remember."
Ji Ling said slowly: "That time, I deliberately asked Yanzhi to come out to serve Maobin, but Maobin kept coughing and almost fell on her, but Yanzhi did not retreat at all, and the two of them were very close. At that time, I saw
Come out, these two people were originally old acquaintances. Until recently, Xiao Yoko secretly reported to me: He saw Rouge Xun sneaking out from the direction of Yikun Palace more than once when there were few people around. I
I just wanted to go to the concubine last year."
Qixi suddenly realized: "No wonder the master is so tolerant to Rouge. It turns out he is afraid of disturbing the situation."
Ji Ling kicked the water and said, "The water is cold."
Qixi hurriedly put on Ji Ling's socks, tied her garters, helped her put on her embroidered slippers, and then lowered Ji Ling's legs.
Ji Ling motioned for her to sit on a small stool nearby.
Qixi put down her sleeves, wiped the water splashed on her face, and suddenly said: "Master, there is something that I still can't understand. Since Concubine Nian wants to be favored by the master and have a son for her to raise, she should help the master."
If you are favored, why do you need to send me rouge?"
Ji Ling leaned back, lay down on the bed, crossed his hands behind his head, kicked his feet, and then said: "This is where Concubine Nian is struggling and painful: she wants to use her womb to give birth to a child, and she
I'm afraid that I'll be spoiled, so I want to muddy the waters, alas! Which of these women in the harem has it easy?"
Qixi rolled her eyes and said: "Master, now that we know Yanzhi's background, why not take advantage of her...",
As she spoke, she leaned forward and whispered a few words in Ji Ling's ear.
Ji Ling smiled and stretched out his hand to rub her head, and said: "Now that I have found out Yanzhi's background, I will find a reason to send her away tomorrow. In this harem, if the Taoist is higher, the demon is higher.
Father, do you want to use your strategy to defeat an entire army? I'm afraid that in the end, you'll end up with flaws all over your body, giving others a handle."
She stared at Qixi and said slowly: "Just wait quietly, and you can't go wrong anywhere."
The master and servant were talking, but they heard the announcement from outside, "The Emperor has arrived!"
What??!
Ji Ling's eyes almost fell off.
Today is Concubine Nian’s birthday. Shouldn’t the Emperor be in Yikun Palace at night?
