Ji Ling turned her body towards Concubine Nian, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "Concubine Hui Nian, your Majesty... did have dinner in the east courtyard of Jingyang Palace last night."
Mao Bi heard that Concubine Nian actually asked such a private matter in public, or in the Queen's Kunning Palace... she knew it was extremely inappropriate, so she couldn't help but look at Concubine Nian several times and wink as hard as she could.
The concubine Nian ignored her.
Maobin shook her head imperceptibly, lowered her head, held up the teacup, and took a sip.
Concubine Nian stared at Ji Ling without blinking. Although she tried her best to maintain a cold expression on her face, her rising and falling chest and her hands tightly grasping the armrests of the chair betrayed her painful mood at this time.
The emperor has not been to Yikun Palace for a long time.
Although the emperor's visit before, staying overnight was just a perfunctory matter, in the eyes of outsiders, she was still the most beautiful, the most popular, and the most favored nian concubine in the Forbidden City.
Now even this shell can hardly be kept!
Concubine Nian looked at Ji Ling intently, almost breaking a silver tooth, and her heart was sore, painful and painful: The only advantage of this Ji family is that she is younger. What's more, in this Forbidden City, there are many beauties from the Ji family who are younger.
What else is good about her?
She really couldn't see it.
Their appearance is just that of a middle-aged girl. With such a delicate appearance, two or three out of ten girls can be picked out during the talent show.
Just pretty.
Looking at Ji's figure, she is very thin, not to mention charming and charming.
She really couldn't understand: What did the emperor like about Ji Guiren?
She still remembers the first time she met Ji. It was after Ji went to bed for the first time and came to Kunning Palace to serve tea to the Queen the next day.
At that time, when she entered the main hall of Kunning Palace from the Ji family, she felt relieved when she saw Ji family for the first time: With this kind of beauty, she would be summoned to bed two or three times at most, and the emperor would forget about her.
.
At first, he thought she was a sickly Chang Zai, but on a whim, the emperor thought that this girl had been in the palace for a year and had never slept with her, so she was favored. Who knew that this favor was so "favored" that he could not let it go?
.
Looking back, I can see that this Ji family emerged during the Chinese New Year, and it has been half a year now. According to the emperor's temperament, no matter how beautiful the beauty is... she should be tired of it, and should be cold when she should be.
But the emperor didn't, and instead treated Ji more and more differently than other women.
On the day of Yikun Palace's birthday party, he personally gave her food.
The rewards from the Yangxin Palace were sent to Jingyang Palace one by one. She remembered that the Emperor only gave three palaces to the Night Brocade that Xishu paid tribute to a while ago: Kunning Palace, Yikun Palace, and Jingyang Palace.
Kunning Palace is the empress of the main palace. Although she is not the emperor's favorite person, the emperor wants to give her this dignity.
So if you give it to the Queen, she will feel better.
But the east side courtyard of Jingyang Palace, what kind of status does that have! It actually also has the Western Shu Night Brocade.
There is also the dining room newly built by the emperor for the east courtyard of Jingyang Palace. I heard from people in front of the emperor that the emperor had personally reviewed the drawings and revised them stroke by stroke.
Even the inscription of Jingyang Palace was written in imperial handwriting, and the building office had just framed it and sent it warmly to the Ji family.
The emperor has always been diligent, cherishes time, and pays attention to efficiency in office work. She still remembers that in winter, she often made late-night snacks for the emperor, and eagerly sent them to the Yangxin Hall to invite his favor...
When did the emperor not ask her to put her down beside him while he continued to review the memorial?
But the emperor actually spent time and time again and again from the Yangxin Palace to the Jingyang Palace, which was the farthest place from him, for the Ji family.
Also, the emperor actually delivered meals from the imperial kitchen of Yangxin Hall to Jingyang Palace yesterday for the sake of the Ji family.
Who didn't see the eunuchs in the imperial dining room carrying heavy lunch boxes and walking majestically under the palace wall?
She knew the emperor's character.
Ever since Qiandi, this man has been a calm man who doesn't like publicity. He likes to make decisions before taking action in everything. He is well-calculated in his heart, but nothing can be seen on his face.
But now, he actually asked the Imperial Kitchen Room of Yangxin Hall to deliver meals with such great fanfare. Why?
What's more, all the concubines of the Sixth Palace should watch: He is supporting the Ji family! No one can bully the Ji family!
He was afraid that people would bully Ji, but he thought about her, protected her, and had her in his heart.
Concubine Nian closed her eyes slightly in jealousy, and asked Ji Ling again and again: "The emperor...is staying at your place?".
Mao Bi choked on her throat with a sip of tea and tried not to cough loudly.
Seeing the embarrassed expressions of everyone around her, Maobin tugged on Concubine Nian's sleeves and called Concubine Nian in a low voice: "Empress...".
The concubine Nian raised her hand and knocked off Maobin's hand without any concealment.
She turned a deaf ear to Mao Bin, just looked at Ji Ling, and said without blinking: "Ji Guigui looks at Wen Wen and is very dignified, but he can leave our always diligent emperor in the gentle countryside. I think it must be a bit strange."
Those who are good at using tricks are those who are low-ranking, so they can let loose! There are some flirtatious tricks that we sisters are embarrassed to do." After she finished speaking, she smiled at Concubine Ning.
Concubine Ning laughed along in amusement, covering her mouth with a handkerchief and laughing loudly.
Zhang Guiren blushed and looked at Ji Ling. His eyes were full of distress and grievance. However, due to his status, he did not dare to say anything. He could only hold the handkerchief tightly and look between Concubine Nian and Ji Ling.
Going back and forth.
Is your status low enough to be liberal?
Qixi heard these ten words coming out of Concubine Nian's mouth.
She was so angry that hot blood rushed to her head, and her eye circles were red. Her heart was rushing, and she felt that she didn't care about anything. She just took half a step forward, but her wrist was tightly grasped.
Qixi lowered her head and saw Ji Ling's right hand grabbing her wrist, as if she had anticipated her move.
Ji Ling didn't raise her head, she just grabbed Qixi's wrist and pulled her back hard.
Qixi glanced at her and saw her master's eyes were cold and stern, but he had never seen such fierceness before.
This look flickered in Ji Ling's eyes and disappeared in an instant. Qixi almost suspected that she had seen it wrong just now.
Qixi was pulled like this by Ji Ling, and her enthusiasm slowly subsided, and her mind became much clearer. Thinking of what just happened, she couldn't help but break into a sweat.
When the masters were talking, how could they allow a slave like her to interrupt? Let alone Concubine Nian and Concubine Ning.
If she had really spoken out just now and stood up for her noble master... the best outcome would be to be beaten and sent to Xin Zheku, but more likely, she would lose her life completely.
She had a cheap life, so it was fine if she lost it, but if the slave did not understand the rules so rashly, the master would be implicated.
