Ji Hongye slowly came out of the queue and explained the matter clearly from beginning to end. His voice was flat, unaffected by the events that had taken place before, since it was still the calm feeling he usually gave people.

After Emperor Yonglong heard his words, Long Yan was furious, he slammed the table, and said sharply: "Bring me the fragrant nobleman." ”

Xiang Guiren was pulled up, perhaps because of Emperor Yonglong's bad attitude just now, she was directly thrown to the ground, looking embarrassed.

Xiang Guiren is a smart person in the end, and he doesn't twist at this time, he only looks aggrieved, but he doesn't say a word.

It is impossible for Emperor Yonglong to keep her silent, and when she asks her words, she is still the same as before. When Emperor Yonglong asked again, she would only hide her face and cry, unable to say a word.

Emperor Yonglong really loves her, and he can't bear to persecute her anymore when he sees her like this. Ji Hongye looked at it coldly from the side, and said lightly: "Xiang Guiren won't think that as long as you cry, this matter can be ignored!"

Xiang Guiren looked at him pitifully, and only said: "Ji Shoufu, I know that you are in a high position and look down on me, a person from a humble background. But I'm a holy person, and it's not something you can bully at will. ”

"Shengshang only ate the bird's nest you gave him at night, but he was delirious, does the noble man think I can not pursue it?" Ji Hongye's face was cold, and he didn't look close to humanity at all.

"Naturally, I am doing it for the good of the saints, and the food for the saints is absolutely safe. As for what you do to me, you and I know it. ”

After the fragrant nobleman finished speaking, he was very aggrieved, lying on the ground and crying in a low voice, that look was really pitiful. Not to mention that all the men present are big men, even Nalan Jinxiu, a woman, can't bear to look at it coldly.

However, she knew very well in her heart that Xiang Guiren was acting. With her understanding of the third brother, the third brother would definitely not do anything to the fragrant nobles. The fact that Xiang Guiren can make such an appearance is enough to prove that she is a scheming person.

"Things are originally one yard to one yard, and whether there is a problem with what the fragrant nobles give to the saint needs to be strictly investigated. But Ji Shoufu, it's also an indisputable fact that you tried to offend the Xiang Guiren, don't you need to take responsibility?"

It was Zong Xuanyi who spoke, he had already come over, but he had been silent. I just watched King Xun's farce, and he became very interested in the person who called himself the white cloth of the Ghost Valley.

"Guigu Baiyi, I see that you are extremely eloquent, why don't you give me an answer to the prime minister, why Ji Shoufu is interested in Xiang Guiren. ”

Nalan Jinxiu was named, so he could only calmly stand out, saluted Zong Xuanyi, and said lightly: "The grass people think that Ji Shoufu will not be interested in the fragrant nobles. ”

Zong Xuanyi raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Oh? Let's hear it." ”

Nalan Jinxiu walked to the side of the Xiang noble, and said in a light tone: "Dare to ask the Xiang nobles how many people they think their appearance and background can be ranked among the ladies in the palace?"

Xiang nobles are usually very good at hiding clumsy, and they are also very good at using their own conditions to show softness to others. At this time, he was still the same, and said implicitly: "With a humble background and an ordinary appearance, naturally he can't be ranked." ”

"The incense nobles are too modest, if you can't be ranked, how can the saint let you serve in the Taiji Palace. ”

Xiang Guiren looked at Nalan Jinxiu, she hadn't noticed it just now, this person's appearance looked a little obscene, but his eyes were extremely clear and bright. This difference between clarity and simplicity is insight and wisdom.

She was quietly watched by such a pair of eyes, and suddenly felt a panic in her heart, as if there were a pair of hands invisibly restraining her, and there was nothing to hide. She could only look away and look at Emperor Yonglong quietly.

"Almost everyone knows that the reason why the incense nobles can win the favor of the saints is mainly because of their talent. I have also heard among the people that the noble people of Xiang are extremely accomplished in poetry and songs, yes or no?"

Xiang Guiren knew that this person's eyes were powerful, so he didn't choose to look at him, but replied lightly: "It's just some false names given by others, and in front of all the adults, it can be regarded as an axe." ”

"Xiang Guiren is really self-aware. Nalan Jinxiu's words turned, his eyes looked at Zong Xuanyi quietly, and his tone was calm but questioning: "Ji Shoufu's writing is superb, if you talk about writing and poetry, I am afraid that no one can stand out from the matter." ”

Nalan Jinxiu didn't finish her words, but everyone present was a human spirit, so how could they not hear the implicit meaning of her words. Xiang Guiren has no family background, and he has no appearance in the city, and the only talent that can be used is not worth mentioning in front of Ji Hongye.

What qualifications does she have to be favored by Ji Hongye?

These words made the Xiang nobles useless, and they had already satirized Emperor Yonglong openly and secretly. The insinuation seems to be saying that Emperor Yonglong has no vision, and such a woman can also take a fancy to it.

Sun Wenjie regretted for a while, this Guigu Baiyi is indeed a smart person, and he also knows how to use his advantages to protect himself. It's just that even if he says something halfway through, he must have offended the Holy One. He really didn't know how to protect him.

Nalan Jinxiu saw that they were concentrating one by one, and the corners of his eyes secretly looked at the high Yonglong Emperor. She was silent for a while, and then said, "The holy harem competes for beauty, and it has restrained the best women in the world. The reason why the fragrant nobles were able to occupy a place was just a coincidence. ”

Sun Wenjie heard that she had changed the conversation, and hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?"

That is to say, a person who is accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, occasionally eating a bowl of white porridge, will feel a different taste. ”

Sun Wenjie secretly praised it. This kind of sycophant kung fu can be said to be on par with him. This time, he didn't need to bother to save it at all, and he could get out of it himself.

Emperor Yonglong has been sitting in a high position for many years, and he has long been accustomed to flattery. He had no special feelings for such flattering words, but such an attitude was really needed now.

He is the Son of Heaven, and his face is more important than anything else. Today's event was originally calculated by others. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to fight back, when will it be?

"Ji Qing is the minister of my humerus in Daning, seeing that his knowledge is excellent, and the rules and etiquette are even more exemplary to the courtiers, I think he must have been wronged. ”

As soon as Xiang Guiren heard this, she knew that the general trend had gone, and she had accepted the benefits of others to do things for others. At this time, either you die or I die, and it is impossible for her to continue to work for that person.

She threw herself on the ground, her back trembled, and she cried in a low voice: "The saint clearly sees that Ji Ge Lao did not mistreat the concubine, and it was the concubine who wronged him with a clear conscience. ”

Emperor Yonglong has always been merciful to Xiang Guiren, but he was a little soft-hearted when he saw her showing weakness. However, women are not worth mentioning compared to the court situation. He had wanted to keep her for a few more days, but now it was impossible to let her go.

"That being the case, you have been demoted to a palace maid from now on, moved out of Yuxiu Palace, and moved into Xinzheku. ”

Xinzheku is a hard labor place in the palace, and generally concubines and palace people who have made a big mistake will be punished to that place. When you enter there, you have to do endless work, and you will be beaten and scolded coldly.

In a difficult environment, the face is haggard, and no matter how popular the world is, it will not survive three or two years before it will be ugly, so it is basically impossible to regain the sacred heart.

Xiang Guiren slowly straightened up and looked at Emperor Yonglong with a pair of teary eyes. She knew that this person was cold-hearted, and she knew that all she could rely on was a trace of pity.

She slowly kowtowed and said in a low voice: "The concubine knows that she has made a big mistake and does not ask for forgiveness from the saint, but the concubine is persecuted. ”

"Who persecuted you?"

Xiang Guiren wept silently, looking like he was wronged and didn't want to say it. Her expression was obviously a word of suffering, and everyone secretly guessed in their hearts who the Xiang Guiren was instructed by.

Even if she didn't say it, Emperor Yonglong knew it in his heart. He didn't know that this was a battle among their courtiers, and that it was safest for him only if they restrained each other.

But this kind of containment also has limitations, that is, it cannot shake the country's foundation, let alone calculate it on his head. This time he even dared to give him medicine, so will he be able to kill him next time?

The more Emperor Yonglong thought about it, the more angry he became, and the expression on his face became more and more indifferent. Of course, the noble man knew what he was minding, so he whispered: "The concubine hopes to help the saint complete the map of the mountains and rivers society, so it should be regarded as the concubine who has atoned for the sacrament to live up to the holy will, and hopes that the saint will be fulfilled." ”

Daning mountains and rivers are thousands of miles, and the prosperity is endless. The emperors of the past dynasties will let the embroidered girl make a map of the mountains and rivers, just to record the mountains and rivers of Daning, thousands of miles of splendor. Because of the extremely high requirements for embroidery, there are very few embroiderers who can be selected to do this.

Of course, Sun Wenjie knows who the Xiang nobles are, either the minister of state or the king of Xun. He had already learned how smart this woman was, and it was absolutely impossible to give her a chance to make a comeback.

He cleared his throat and said lightly: "Xiang Guiren, you have such a big breath, how can anyone do what they want to do." That needs to go through a lot of assessment and screening, and it is absolutely not qualified to be a top embroiderer. ”

Xiang Guiren's expression was still calm, she took out the needle bag from her sleeve, and said to Emperor Yonglong: "The curtain in the Taiji Hall has been many years, and the concubines have long found that there is a line off, so let's make up for the saint now!"

Then, without waiting for Emperor Yonglong to reply, she stood up on her own, walked to the curtain and slowly sewed it up.

Nalan Jinxiu's embroidery is not very good, but since she can remember, A-Niang has invited many teachers to teach her. Those who can enter the Taifu Mansion to guide her embroidery are the top embroiderers in the Daning Dynasty.

Even if she didn't get the true biography, she developed the ability to appreciate it. From an embroiderer's threading to embroidery techniques, she can roughly deduce how this person's embroidery skills are.

Xiang Guiren will definitely not be worse than the Jane family of "Ni Dress", and she even suspects that their embroidery skills are from the same line. This woman has been in the palace for so long, and she has not shown her rust work, which shows the depth of her scheming.

If she has mastered the vitality at this time, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to deal with in the future. She didn't care about those things in the Daning court, but she always had to help the third brother every day in this world.
