Chapter 158: Black Pearl

Zhang Jieyu really did what she said, and on the second day, she brought a heavy gift and visited the Jade Immortal Palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

From jade carved porcelain to beaded hairpin jewelry, there are about a dozen or so pieces of dazzling dazzling. The workmanship is fine, the carving is lifelike, the color is gorgeous, especially the box of black pearls in the middle, it is full and flawless, and the most rare thing is that the size is exactly the same, as big as the thumb knuckle, there are more than a dozen or so.

Mo Yu looked at the large and small boxes on the table, and chuckled: "This palace was just a joke yesterday, but I didn't expect Zhang Jieyu to take it seriously." As soon as he came back from Renming Palace, he gave such a big gift to the palace, and the palace didn't dare to accept it. ”

"The mother laughed." Zhang Jieyu pointed to the gifts on the table, held her small chin high, and said, "These are just very ordinary things, and there are many more in the concubine palace." Look at Niangniang, your outfit is too quiet, you should dress up well, so that the emperor can look comfortable. ”

Mo Yu glanced at Biyue, who was standing aside, and then said with a smile: "Thank you Zhang Jieyu for your advice." ”

Zhang Jieyu picked up the box of black pearls on the table, handed it to Mo Yu, and said, "Guifei Niangniang, this black pearl is called Dongzhu, its color is bright, and the color is different from different angles. Niangniang can string it into a bracelet and wear it on the body, which can not only be white and beautiful, but also delay aging, which is the most suitable for your noble status. ”

The people on the side are not happy, what to delay aging. Her mother is young and naturally carves and decorates, this chapter Jieyu is so obvious that it is so ironic, it is really bold. She just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Biyue beside her, and she could only pout and be indignant.

Mo Yu looked at the beads in the box, the thing was indeed a good thing. She looked up at Zhang Jieyu who was blinking innocent big eyes in front of her, and that innocent smiling face was really impossible to refuse. "Zhang Jieyu's mind was accepted by the palace, and the east and west palaces accepted it. It's just that the palace has always been depressed, and there are no valuable things, so I won't return the courtesy, so as not to make Zhang Jieyu laugh. ”

"How dare a concubine accept Niangniang's things, it is an honor for a concubine to accept a concubine's gift."

The sycophants were also patted, and the gifts were given, but the people still had no intention of saying goodbye. Mo Yu didn't urge, pointed to the seat opposite, and said, "Zhang Jieyu sit down, if you don't mind, the palace will replace the wine with tea, thank you Jieyu for the gift." ”

"Then the concubine is better to be respectful than to obey her fate." After speaking, he sat down, picked up the tea and wine poured by Moyu and drank it, and did not forget to praise: "The tea in the palace of the concubine is different, it is really fragrant." ”

"If you like it, drink two more drinks."

After Zhang Jieyu drank a cup, she raised her eyes to look at Mo Yu who was drinking tea with her head bowed on the other side, and after struggling for a while, she said carefully: "Guifei Niangniang, just now in the Renming Palace, did you hear the words of the queen's mother?" ”

Mo Yu didn't raise his head, and said softly, "I heard it." ”

Zhang Jieyu's face was overjoyed, and she said: "The queen said that she was about to give birth, and she was powerless to deal with the affairs of the harem, and she didn't have the energy to prepare for the Prayer Festival. The queen asked us to assist from the side, what do you think? ”

This drama that came to give gifts early in the morning finally got to the point. Mo Yu put down the teacup and said with a smile: "They are all from the harem, since the queen is physically inconvenient, we, as concubines, should help with all the affairs of the harem." If Jieyu has any good ideas, she can go and tell the queen, if it is reasonable, the queen will adopt it. ”

"To say that in this harem, in addition to the queen's mother, the concubine has the highest position and the deepest qualifications. The wisdom of the concubine is well known to everyone in the harem, if you help the queen on the side, then the matter must be twice the result with half the effort. ”

"Jieyu has lifted the palace, Jieyu probably doesn't know, although I have been in the palace for a long time, I have never dealt with the affairs of the harem. Besides, with the current state of mind of this palace, he doesn't have the energy to think about other things. The queen must also know this, so she did not force the palace. ”

"The depression in Niangniang's heart, the concubine knows. It is precisely because these are extraordinary times that the mother should find something to do to divert your attention and ease the worries in your heart. One is conducive to the physical and mental health of the mother, and the other is to help the queen, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

Mo Yu straightened the skirt on her knees, shook her head, and said, "It is precisely because of the extraordinary times that I can't help being sloppy." If this palace handles things in such a mental state, a little carelessness will cause trouble for the queen. This palace looks at Jieyu should also be an expert, quick-witted, ingenious, and will definitely be a good helper for the queen. When the time comes, will the queen mother be grateful to Jieyu? ”

"Really?" Zhang Jieyu was overjoyed, and then reacted to her gaffe, so she continued: "What did the concubine say, how could the concubine be so good? ”

"Of course, this can't be decided by this palace alone. After all, whether it is good or not, it is not just a matter of talking, but everyone agrees with it. ”

"That's what the concubine said."

Mo Yu smiled slightly, turned her head and glanced at Biyue, who said understandingly: "Niangniang, it's time for you to rest." The Imperial Doctor said that you need to rest on time for your body to recover. ”

Zhang Jieyu on the side was not stupid, knowing that this was the concubine Niangniang who was driving people. So he had no choice but to stand up, bow down and say, "Then the concubine won't disturb the mother's rest, and the concubine will retire." ”

"If you don't take care of it, you can't blame Jieyu."

"The concubine doesn't dare, say goodbye."

Waiting for Zhang Jieyu to take everyone out of the Jade Immortal Palace, Xiang Rong finally couldn't help jumping out, and said angrily: "Who does she think she is, a little Jieyu dares to run to our Jade Immortal Palace to spread wild, it's just a matter of not knowing the height of the sky." And these ghost things she sent, even the worst one in our Jade Immortal Palace can't be compared, and she also boasted that it was sent by the emperor. She didn't look at our house, which one was not given by the emperor, she couldn't even compare to a toe of our mother, what a smugness! ”

Mo Yu watched her dance with her hands, shook her head helplessly, and said: "She is indeed just a little Jieyu, but she is a hard backer, she speaks naturally with confidence, and her eyes are above the top." ”

"Backer, who, is it the emperor? She doesn't look at the weight of our mother's mother in the emperor's heart, and she dares to compare with you? Bite off more than one can chew. ”

Biyue smiled and asked: "Yo, when did our family want to be so smart, how do you know that the emperor cares more about our mother?" ”

"Just yesterday! In the imperial garden, the emperor obviously saw Niangniang and Zhang Jieyu talking, but after Zhang Jieyu left, the emperor didn't mention Zhang Jieyu in front of Niangniang, and he clearly didn't take her seriously! Poor Zhang Jieyu is still showing off in front of her mother how good the emperor is to her, cut. ”

Mo Yu and Bi Yue glanced at each other, and they both showed expressions of appreciation. Mo Yu smiled and said, "It seems that our family has really grown up. But there is one thing you didn't say right, Zhang Jieyu's backer is not the emperor. ”

Xiang Rong was stunned: "It's not the emperor, then who else can it be?" ”

"Think about it, how did Zhang Jieyu enter the palace, and how did she get to the emperor?"

"Oh, I understand, what Niangniang means is that Zhang Jieyu is the Queen Mother's person."

Mo Yu nodded, "Hmm." ”

Biyue said puzzledly: "But this chapter Jieyu is really like two people from yesterday." I don't know who she said today? ”

Xiang Rong said suspiciously: "How do you know that she is saying it for someone else, not for herself?" ”

Mo Yu's mind raced for a moment, and said: "Zhang Jieyu has an arrogant personality and a simple mind, and there were some words just now, not like she could say them. ”

"Oh."

Mo Yu looked at the box of pearls on the table and said: "The queen is about to give birth, maybe she is indeed unintentional, but she may not be afraid that this is a temptation, and now the situation in the court is changing." The Guo family, the Queen Mother, the Ji family, the Zhang family, the King of Wei, and the emperor are in full swing. Since ancient times, the harem has been inseparable from the previous dynasty, and at this critical time, whoever receives this hot potato is unlucky. ”

The Guo family has fallen and wants to make a comeback. The Queen Mother couldn't count on the Guo family anymore, so she switched to the Zhang family again. The bond between the Ji family and the Queen Mother has been broken, and now seeing the Queen Mother supporting the Zhang family, she must be incompatible with the Zhang family. The King of Wei and the Emperor should be on the same front, because the Emperor is afraid of the soldiers and horses and forces in the hands of the King of Wei, and the Queen is the daughter of the King of Wei, the two most powerful forces in the Zhou Kingdom are fighting against the Guo family, the Queen Mother, the Ji family, the Zhang family, and other families above the court.

Mo Yu got up and walked to the door, looked at the gloomy sky outside, and sighed: "This day, it's going to change." ”

Behind him, Xiang Rong looked at the things on the table, threw them away in disgust, and asked, "Niangniang, what to do with these things?" ”

Mo Yu turned around, walked to the pile of gifts, looked at the dazzling array of things, and said, "It's still the old rule, check if there is a problem, if not, put it away!" ”

"Oh, what about this pearl? Not to mention, among so many things, this pearl can still be seen. ”

Mo Yu smiled and picked up one of them, put it under her nose and sniffed it gently, and said, "Beautiful things are often poisonous. Although this pearl is beautiful, it is something that cannot be touched. ”

Biyue also wanted Rong's face to change sharply, and Xiangrong pointed to the things in the box and said, "Niangniang said that the pearls are poisonous?" ”

"Don't guess." Mo Yu put the pearl back in the box and said, "Lock this box up!" Don't take it out again, and don't write it down in the list. He turned his head and said to Xiang Rong: "Also, you'd better wash your hands, otherwise I'll collect your body tomorrow morning." ”

"Ah, it's poisonous, water, water, I'm going to wash my hands."

Mo Yu looked at her running out in a panic, smiled, and asked, "What about Tian'er?" ”

"It seems that I went to the Qianwen Palace, so I should be back soon!"

The box of pearls sent by Zhang Jieyu was thrown in a hidden corner by Moyu as a discarded thing.

The queen is indeed powerless, and according to the emperor's will, she can only temporarily hand over the power of handling the harem to the noble concubine and the concubine and the third concubine. It's just that before making a decision, the queen must first get the queen's consent, and the queen must report the results afterwards. Mo Yu couldn't refuse, so she had to take it.

---------------------------------

The three concubines of Gui, Shu and Xian are headed by the noble concubine Moyu. So when several people discussed things, they also respected the concubine and often went to the Jade Immortal Palace to discuss things. It's just that over time, both of them also found that when discussing things, Mo Yu always fell asleep unconsciously, and couldn't wake up no matter how much she screamed, so frightened that Biyue hurriedly called the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor only said that the concubine Niangniang's heart was depressed, and she was sick with lovesickness, so she couldn't work hard, and she should recuperate. The two reported the situation to the queen, and the queen reported it to the emperor, and finally the emperor decided to remove Moyu's authority and just recuperate in the palace.

A few days later, Mo Yu was reading a book in the pavilion in the back garden, and on the table next to him was the tea that was boiling "Gululu", floating layer after layer of mist, and the fragrance of tea was overflowing. Tian'er came to report and said that Liu Chenxuan asked to see him.

I don't think it's been a long time since I've seen this friend! Since the incident of Prince Zongyi, they have never met again. However, the friendship between gentlemen is also as light as tea, although it is bland, it has its own taste. Mo Yu poured tea and said, "Why are you free today, come to the palace to see me?" ”

Liu Chenxuan slowly drank the tea in the cup, Sikong said, Moyu's method of boiling tea is very unique, and the tea brewed is also extremely fragrant. "I'm leaving, before I go, I'm here to say goodbye to you."

Mo Yu was puzzled, "Go?" Where to go? ”

"I don't know, let's go to Chang'an first! Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, I want to go out and travel. ”

"Does Ryagi-sama agree?"

"Father has agreed."

Mo Yu nodded, looked at the clouds in the sky, and said softly: "It's okay to leave, now this Tokyo City is also a place of right and wrong." It's better to leave for a while and come back when the turmoil has passed. ”

Liu Chenxuan looked at her side face, feeling a little lost in his heart. She shouldn't be a woman living in this palace, her world should be a free and vast sky outside the palace, stepping on thousands of rivers and mountains, and seeing all the beautiful scenery. "We're all gone, and in the palace in the future, you have to take care of yourself by yourself."

Yetian is gone, Ji Zhongting is gone, and now even Liu Chenxuan is gone, and her few opposite-sex confidants in Tokyo are now only Sikong left. "Don't worry! Although I am not that good, I still have the ability to protect myself. The days in the palace are monotonous, and I always have cranky thoughts. Now that you're gone, it makes me feel a little more worried. A few years ago, when I first returned to the capital, I didn't have any friends, but at that time I met Wang Zhen'er, Zhao Danxiu, and Lin Chenwan's sisters, and later I also met Sikong, Yetian, and you. Time has passed, and the original sisters have already had their own destinations, and a few of you have gone, and you have gone, it is really a feast that is inseparable in the world. ”

"Everybody, there's a way to go. But some passers-by in life will become memories and concerns for a lifetime. ”

Mo Yu turned his head and said with relief: "You're right, memories and worries won't dissipate just because we're thousands of miles away from each other. She picked up the tea cup on the table, raised her glass forward, and said, "Replace wine with tea, I wish you a smooth journey." ”

"Thank you."

Liu Chenxuan put down the teacup and said, "Although I shouldn't say this, as a friend, I still want to tell you that no matter how chaotic the previous dynasty was, you are important in the emperor's heart." ”

Mo Yuyan smiled and asked, "Did the emperor ask you to say this?" ”

"Yes." Just before he came to the Jade Immortal Palace, the emperor explained this. "The emperor said that there are some things that he said, and you won't believe it, so let me say it."

"I see." She is not a fool, and if she doesn't say some things, it doesn't mean she can't see clearly. Take the matter of the assistant harem, even if she doesn't say it, he will try his best to keep her away from these rights and wrongs.

Liu Chenxuan continued: "On the surface, it was the King of Wei who dealt with the Guo family, the Ji family, and the Zhang family alone. In fact, secretly, there is more or less the acquiescence of the emperor. These three will definitely fail in the end. ”

The Ji family still didn't listen to her suggestion and returned to the field. is still bent on going against the emperor, it is really self-defeating. "The emperor wants to clean up the government and reduce the redundancy of the court, which will inevitably reduce the power and interests of the family. The emperor wants to reduce the number of personnel, but these people refuse, so the emperor has no choice but to find fault with them, and those who should be punished are punished and those who should be killed, I am afraid that it will be another bloody storm. ”

"It's not that serious!"

Mo Yu held back his glance and said, "The emperor hasn't killed yet, because the time hasn't come yet, and he is waiting." ”

"Wait, wait for what?"

"Naturally, I am waiting for this year's scientific examination, and after the scientific examination, the imperial court is bound to select a group of excellent students. After a year of practice, last year's students in the scientific examination must have been able to handle political affairs with ease, and naturally they could replace the officials and positions that the emperor wanted to remove, while this year's students naturally replaced the positions of the previous batch of students. ”

Liu Chenxuan suddenly understood, and said: "No wonder Sikong said that in less than two years, there will definitely be a big change of blood in the court, it turns out that this is what it means." I didn't expect you to see it so thoroughly, even I was ashamed of myself. ”

"There is a specialization in the art industry, and your strength lies in solving cases. In this Tokyo city, if you are the second and no one dares to be the first, I also admire you. ”

"It's just, Moyu, if the Ji family falls, you will inevitably be implicated, how will you deal with yourself then?"

Mo Yu stroked the edge of the cup and said, "I don't know, let's take a step and see a step!" She didn't want to continue the topic, so she diverted and said, "By the way, if you meet Zhongting and them on the way, help me ask them, have you forgotten my sister and haven't come back to see me for so long?" ”

"Okay, if I meet it, I'll definitely pass it on."

"Thank you." (To be continued.) )
