Chapter 79: The Emperor Will Be Pitted Too

Xi Yunzhi hurriedly took two steps back to the side, and hurriedly knelt down to salute, and as she knelt, all the concubines and beauties in the Kunyi Palace knelt down and saluted one by one.

Zhen stepped down from the phoenix seat and bowed to Emperor Yingying, gave up his seat, and stood aside peacefully.

"Let's all be flat."

Xiao Luo was wearing a dragon robe, he was extravagant, he was originally born well, a pair of peach blossom eyes always inadvertently hooked the woman for him, I saw him sweep around, and finally his eyes fell on Xi Yunzhi, who bowed his head and was silent.

"Mrs. Bu, I didn't bother when I saw you looking serious just now, did I scare you?"

Xi Yunzhi took a deep breath, smiled, and tried his best to be generous:

"Back to the emperor, no. I just felt a little surprised. The accident almost made her run out of the door.

Xiao Luo couldn't help but smile when he saw her like this, and while stroking the wrench in his hand, he said to Xi Yunzhi:

"Madame was studying this jade carving Guanyin so seriously before, what do you think?"

Xi Yunzhi looked at Zhen's family, his face showed hesitation, Xiao Luo waved his hand when he saw this: "Madame, just tell the truth, I will never blame." ”

Zhen also followed behind Xiao Luo and echoed: "Yes, Yunzhi, the emperor asked you to say it, you can say it." ”

Xi Yunzhi only knew that this jade carving was recently obtained by the queen, and he didn't know its origin, for fear that if he said it too much, he would inadvertently offend someone, so after thinking about it a few times, he decided to pick up the best one.

"Yes." After Xi Yunzhi bowed his head and agreed, he walked to the jade carving Guanyin placed in the center, and finally confirmed it again before he spoke: "This jade carving, it's ...... It is indeed a must for carvers. ”

Zhen sat on the seat originally reserved for Xi Yunzhi, and the emperor half-leaned on Zhen's phoenix seat, staring at Xi Yunzhi with interest.

"What does the lady mean is that the carving is a must, but the materials are endless? This is the best oil field thin jade, and the mutton fat and white snow are nothing more than that. ”

Xi Yunzhi smiled and didn't speak, since the emperor had affirmed this jade carving, it would be redundant for her to say anything, so she simply nodded and acquiesced.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Luo did not give up, walked down from the phoenix seat, went to the jade carving Guanyin, and took the magnifying glass from Xi Yunzhi's hand, looked at it again and again, and then said with certainty:

"Yes, I see that this is the oil field Bo Yu, does Madame still have any opinions? But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Xi Yunzhi saw that he was full of confidence, and heard his love for this jade carving from his words, and couldn't help but shake his head and say:

"The lower woman is only shallow in learning, and she has not seen the thin jade in the oil field that the emperor said, but it is a fact that this jade material is as smooth as snow and smooth as a mirror, but if you let the lower woman bid......"

Xiao Luo asked: "How much is the bid?" ”

Xi Yunzhi looked at the jade carving, sighed deeply, and forced out three fingers to Xiao Luo.

"Three hundred thousand taels?" Xiao Luo asked tentatively.

Xi Yunzhi shook his head and revealed the answer: "Thirty thousand." At most, 30,000 yuan, at this price, half of it is because it has been in the palace and has been appreciated by the nobles in the palace. ”

“……”

Xiao Luo was speechless by Xi Yunzhi's words, stared at her for a while, and Zhen also came over to play a round for Xi Yunzhi and said:

"Yunzhi, this is something that the emperor personally selected from the people to return to the palace, and it took ...... to"

Unexpectedly, before Zhen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Luo.

"Mouthy." glanced at Zhen casually, Zhen closed his mouth in recognition, only to hear Xiao Luo ask Xi Yunzhi again:

"Madame, how can you decide that this jade carving is only worth 30,000?"

Xi Yunzhi finally understood, this thing was bought by the emperor himself, so it was highly evaluated, and if she belittled her slightly, he would not let it go, and he must ask clearly.

Pointing to the jade carving, Xi Yunzhi hooked his lips and said: "This jade material is really good in terms of texture feel, but unfortunately it is not a whole jade, this Guanyin is by no means carved by a famous artist, some of the textures on the skirt of this dress are carved, some are broken jade grinding and splicing, the most valuable thing on the whole body is the jade on Guanyin's face, the 30,000 taels that the woman said, 15,000 taels are counted as the experience of this jade carving, and the other 10,000 taels is the face of Guanyin, and the rest of the broken jade is at most 5,000 taels. ”

After listening to Xi Yunzhi's analysis, Xiao Luo really approached Guanyin's skirt with a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully, and when he looked up again, some embarrassment appeared on Jun's face:

"Hearing Madame say this, it's really expensive for me to buy." With a long sigh, he handed the magnifying glass to the personal eunuch, clapped his hands, and pretended to be chic: "Yes, the silver of the white flowers has been lost, and I haven't even heard a sound." ”

The concubines and beauties of the harem looked at the emperor like this, one by one they wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, their wise and martial emperor His Majesty even had a time when the trade was pitted, and the little wives gathered together to see a fake he bought.

"Madame is really a good businessman, and I am willing to bow down."

Although Xiao Luo knew that he had suffered a loss, he still had the least demeanor, and he was not angry at Xi Yunzhi for exposing his behavior, which made Xi Yunzhi breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out that the emperor just now was just to show off what he bought, so that everyone would be silenced, and secretly walked behind her, just to hear a sincere evaluation.

Thinking like this, Xi Yunzhi's originally worried heart suddenly calmed down.

Xiao Luo sat for a while, talked to the concubines and beauties for a while, and then returned to the Zhongyuan Hall to review the chapters.

When the concubines saw that the emperor had left, they had no interest in staying any longer, and they all showed a sleepy posture and confessed to the Zhen family, please retreat.

Xi Yunzhi walked out of Kunyi Palace, and was stopped by Xi Yuntong on the long and narrow palace road.

"Eldest sister, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you doing?"

Xi Yunzhi has seen her for so many years, and she still has this innocent face, I don't know whether to be happy for her or unfortunate for her.

Smiled slightly: "I'm fine." Before you entered the palace, did you go to Ciyun Temple to see the third aunt? ”

Xi Yunzhi was most worried about the third aunt, but when Xi Yuntong mentioned his mother, his expression was a little gloomy, and he said helplessly:

"Yes, but she won't see me. The old lady repaired the book and returned to Luoyang a few years ago, the Xi family is completely broken, if I don't listen to them arrange to enter the palace to accompany me, I'm afraid there will be no good life. ”

When Xi Yunzhi saw her say this, she couldn't help but hold her hand and said, "It's hard for you." When you went to Tsz Yun Temple, didn't the third aunt tell you anything? ”

Xi Yuntong was puzzled: "No." Should my mother tell me anything? ”

“……”

Xi Yunzhi looked at this innocent girl for a long time before shaking her head lightly and said, "It's nothing, I just think that the third aunt should want to see you." There are many people in the palace, you are careful everywhere, and try to keep a low profile when you have nothing to do. ”

Xi Yuntong obediently and skillfully bowed down to Xi Yunzhi and said, "Thank you eldest sister for mentioning it, Tong'er will be careful." ”

Xi Yunzhi patted her on the shoulder again, then turned to leave, thoughtfully, until she got into the carriage back home, she spread her hands, looking at the thick gouache stained on her fingers, she always felt that even the most delicate and lovely Tong'er had changed.

Before she left Luoyang, she deliberately went to Ciyun Temple and left a lot of property to the third aunt, which also stated that some of it could be given to Xi Yuntong, if Tong'er really went to Ciyun Temple to see the third aunt before entering the palace, presumably the third aunt would definitely hand over the property to Tong'er, and she would not bear to see this only daughter because of the family's downfall, desperate to become a pawn in the hands of others.

So, from this, it is concluded that ...... Tong'er was lying to her.

***

On the way back, Xi Yunzhi remembered that Xiao An told her that she wanted to eat Dingfengzhai's eight-treasure sauce duck, so she asked the driver to go to Dingfengzhai to buy it and let her take it back.

Because she was wearing a dress with wide robes and big sleeves, it was inconvenient to get out of the car, so the one who drove the car went in for her to buy it, and Xi Yunzhi sat in the car and waited.

Boredom lifted the curtain and saw an unexpected person sneaking out of the backyard of Ding Feng Zhai.

Princess Jing was wearing a commoner's clothes, and the injuries on her face were not as serious as before, if she wasn't wearing plain clothes, but wearing a golden hairpin on her head, with her appearance, she really couldn't arouse Xi Yunzhi's idea.

I saw a woman coming out behind her, and the woman Xi Yunzhi also knew, it was one of the thirty people allocated to the General's Mansion by the former Internal Affairs Office, it seems to be called Sanfu, I heard that in the past, the palace was dedicated to taking care of the masters' soft clothes, and after coming to the General's Mansion, Xi Yunzhi only let her take care of the kitchen.

Why did she walk with Princess Jing?

The driver bought the sauce duck, and Xi Yunzhi lowered the curtain and returned all the way back to the General's Mansion.

The porter Lao Lu told her that the general had just come back, and when Xi Yunzhi heard it, he was overjoyed, so he didn't care about his identity, so he took his skirt and ran all the way back to the small courtyard.

Bu Qin was changing clothes, and when she saw that she was out of breath, she knew that she was running over, and couldn't help but hook her lips and smile: "I won't disappear, why are you running here?" ”

Xi Yunzhi put the Eight Treasures Sauce Duck on the table, calmed his breath, and said angrily against him:

"People didn't come here to see you."

Bu Qin saw that her tone was coquettish, and she felt very cute, so she couldn't help but surround her, raised her eyebrows and asked, "It's not to see me, but to see whom?" Say it! Don't say I want ...... Hah, you're tickling. ”

Xi Yunzhi was righteous and awe-inspiring, sworn to die, Bu Qin was not polite to her, one hand hugged her, and the other hand grabbed Xi Yunzhi's sensitivity and sense up and down with fast and violent movements, causing Xi Yunzhi to jump around like a fish, but he couldn't jump away from the puddle of Bu Qin.

After the two of them messed around for a while, they both changed their clothes, adjusted their mentality, and walked out of the door with serious steps, so that no matter how they looked, they couldn't see the appearance of the two of them messing around in the room before.

Xi Yunzhi bought back the eight-treasure sauce duck is deeply loved by Xiao An, he alone arranged two duck legs and a number of duck meat, and the small mouth he ate was full of oil, Xi Yunzhi grabbed him strongly, and when he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, the kitchen sent soup again.

And the person who delivered the soup was the woman Xi Yunzhi met on the street during the day...... What kind of deal did she and Princess Jing reach?
