Chapter Seventy-Eight: Duanxi Blood Inkstone

"My lord, there is Concubine Qi ahead."

Mu Jiu twisted his eyebrows, he was not interested in knowing this, and turned around to leave.

However, Concubine Qi had already seen Mu Jiu, and asked the maidservant Hongling beside her, "Who is that?" ”

Hongling was her personal maid, and at this moment, she glanced at Mu Jiu, who had turned away, and said speculatively: "Niangniang, it should be that living room Master Mu." In the entire palace, only Mu Daren lives in the palace and accompanies the emperor at any time. ”

Originally, this concubine didn't listen to what she said earlier, but this sentence of accompanying the emperor at any time made her eyes light up.

There was cunning in her eyebrows, and some gods chattered: "Since he can see the emperor often, he must be able to speak in front of the emperor." ”

"That's definitely yes, who in the palace doesn't know, there are two people around the emperor who are always accompanied, one is Gonggong Chu, and the other is this Muda."

Hongling is also right, Mu Jiu has indeed seen the emperor for a lot of time, and the emperor went to Muyu Pavilion early this morning, and the palace knows more or less.

"That's good, I'll go back to Chuxiu Palace later, you will give him the purple gold blood inkstone treasured by the copy palace for the palace, he is on an errand in front of the emperor, so he should naturally have a good pen inkstone."

Hongling's face flashed with worry: "Niangniang, this is not appropriate." ”

"How?"

"Niangniang, this Mu Daren has never had any contact with the concubines of the harem, you rashly sent something, in case it reaches the ears of the queen, I am afraid that the queen will be unhappy."

"There's nothing to scruple about, even though the queen mother manages the entire harem, she can't be so domineering."

Concubine Qi also wanted to see the emperor one day earlier, the emperor didn't come to the harem often, and if she came to the harem, she would just go to the queen's Kunning Palace to sit down.

Waiting for the emperor to think of her, the daylily is cold, it is better to take the initiative to attack, and get the emperor's favor one day earlier than the stuffy gourd-like concubine, so that it will be better to be higher than the concubine.

Not long after Mu Jiu returned to his Muyu Pavilion on the front foot, the father-in-law of Chuxiu Palace on the back foot came.

"Who is this father-in-law?"

Wu Haisheng, who was guarding the door, saw that the eunuch's eyes were very angry, so he stopped him.

"The slave is the eunuch Zhou Gonggong, the leader of Chuxiu Palace, and Concubine Qi got a good inkstone, so the slave specially sent it to Master Mu."

He looked at the brocade box, and did not mean to open it to take a look, and motioned with his hand: "Go in, your lord should be making incense at this time." ”

This sentence is actually very scary, the guards guarding the gate are not only looking at the gate of Mu Yu Pavilion, but also to monitor Mu Jiu's every move.

Mu Jiu is bored these days, and he has to make some spices when he is idle in the afternoon, and he doesn't want others to interfere after he is busy.

Xiao Xuanzi stood under the pear blossom tree, and saw a eunuch coming from the gate from a distance.

When people walked in, they found that it was the eunuch Zhou Gonggong, the leader of Chuxiu Palace, and hurriedly trotted over.

"Father-in-law Zhou, what kind of wind is blowing you here?"

I want to say polite words, but Xiao Xuanzi is still curious in his heart, this Chuxiu Palace has nothing to do with Muyu Pavilion, why is my father-in-law here this week?

"Ouch, Grandpa Xuan, you are too polite. I'm here to find you Muta, are you inside? ”

As he spoke, he went inside.

Xiao Xuanzi walked forward side by side, and said politely: "Here, you wait, I'll go in first and report it." ”

This is also how it should be, and Qi is out

I instructed in front of the door, and when I came to Muyu Pavilion, I was polite to Master Mu.

So at the moment, he was holding the inkstone and waiting outside.

"Your Excellency?"

Mu Jiu was seriously coloring the people above Danqing, and Xiao Xuanzi rushed in all of a sudden.

"What's wrong?"

Mu Jiu had told him not to come in and disturb him if he had nothing to do, and looking at Xiao Xuanzi's constipated expression that seemed to be unspeakable, he knew that something was wrong.

"My lord, Father-in-law Zhou of Chuxiu Palace came over with a courtesy."

She put down the red pen in her hand, and saw Father-in-law Zhou respectfully holding the brocade box in her hand through the half-open window.

"This official has never interacted with the concubines of the harem, what are her people coming to me for?"

"I don't know, but my lord, my father-in-law seems to be flattering this week, and he still has a gift in his hand."

Mu Jiu didn't know if this matter was a blessing or a curse for her, but now that everyone had arrived in her yard, she couldn't say anything if she didn't see it.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Mu Jiu picked up a blank piece of paper, covered the half-painted Danqing, and this week his father-in-law came in.

"Servant Chu Xiu Palace Zhou Gonggong, please say hello to the adults."

"Father-in-law Zhou, get up."

With a narrow smile on his face, Gonggong Zhou opened the lid of the brocade box in his hand and presented it respectfully.

"My lord, this is our mother's new Duanxi blood inkstone, and we specially let the little one come to honor you to your adult."

Duan inkstone is precious, and it is famous for its solid, lubricated, delicate and delicate stone.

And the grinding ink is not sluggish, the ink is fast, the ink is smooth, the writing is smooth and undamaged, and the handwriting color remains unchanged for a long time.

And this blood inkstone is the king of inkstones, it is said that the inkstone craftsman dyed with the blood of the heart, and each blood inkstone lives in the soul of a craftsman.

Blood inkstone is hard to find, and this concubine looks down on him too much.

However, Concubine Qi is also a person with vision, and she knows that if she wins the favor of the emperor, her grace and future cannot be measured by a blood inkstone.

Mu Jiu looked at the fiery red blood inkstone, to be honest, she was actually moved, she pursed her lips, and did not accept the things, but said: "This is too precious, this official is useless, I really can't afford it." ”

"Eh, what are you talking about, my lord, you are on an errand in front of the emperor, no matter how valuable this thing is, it is just an inkstone, so you can accept it."

The weight of the blood inkstone was very large, and after Zhou Gonggong said this, he put the brocade box on the table in front of Mu Jiu.

"No, the official has the emperor's reward of the Chengni inkstone, and the official can't afford the mother's reward."

"Yes, the emperor's reward is naturally good, but our mother's things are not bad, so you can accept it."

Hearing this, Mu Jiucai looked up at him, and this glance seemed to see through his thoughts.

How could Mu Jiu not know that it had been a few days since the concubines and concubines had entered the palace, and they hadn't even met the emperor yet, so they must be in a hurry.

Thinking of this, Mu Jiu said interestingly: "I also know that you will come here because of your mother's orders, and I will not embarrass you as subordinates." I won't accept the things, but I will accept the favor of the mother, and I will go and tell you the mother, Mu Jiu wrote it down. ”

As he spoke, Mu Jiu signaled, and Xiao Xuanzi immediately closed the lid and put the brocade box into Gonggong Zhou's hand.

Grandpa Zhou's face flashed with embarrassment, and it was too late

I didn't pick up anything late.

"Your Excellency, you, this ....."

"Go back earlier, tell your mother what I said, and she won't blame you for your incompetence."

The meaning of Mu Jiu's refusal was already obvious, and the eviction order was also hidden in this sentence.

After all, the weight of this blood inkstone is very large, and the hands are short, if you really take it, it will be a self-defeating road.

Gonggong Zhou ate the closed door, and when he went back, his face was gloomy, and Concubine Qi saw that someone came back with something, and her tone was incredulous: "That Mu Daren can't even look down on the blood inkstone?" ”

Father-in-law Zhou had a bitter face: "Niangniang, that's not what I mean." That Mu Daren said that it was a Chengni inkstone that was rewarded by the emperor. ”

This also shows the position, even if the inkstone rewarded by the emperor is not as valuable as the blood inkstone from this river, it shows that Mu Jiu is a person who does not serve the two masters.

When Concubine Qi heard this, she nodded thoughtfully: "It was sent by the palace too abruptly, and there was no contact before, so it was sent suddenly, and it is common sense that Lord Mu did not accept it." ”

"Yes, but Master Mu said that she inherited your affection."

Concubine Qi shook her head, a string of beads sounded, and she said a little melancholy: "Things are confiscated, and it is polite to say that you have accepted your feelings." ”

"Niangniang, don't be so melancholy, our Chuxiu Palace is much more faceless than the Yanxi Palace with concubines."

At the mention of this, Concubine Qi's mood was much better, and she smiled sarcastically: "Yes, it is said that she has a quiet temperament, and she looks like a stuffy gourd, who will like it." ”

She is still laughing at the concubine here for not knowing how to play tricks, but she didn't think that she would die in front of the concubine in the future.

In the Muyu Pavilion, the father-in-law of Zhou on the front foot left, and Mu Jiu said on the back foot: "Prepare, this official will go to the Heart Cultivation Palace to see the emperor immediately." ”

"Huh? My lord, what are you doing at this time? ”

"The official has to tell the emperor about this matter today, the emperor of the province knows about this matter from others, and he wants to blame the official for hiding something from him."

This is also true, when the father-in-law came that week, the guards outside the door all knew.

This matter will definitely reach the ears of the emperor, and Long Jiangye is discussing something with Mo Nan in a low voice in the Heart Cultivation Hall at this moment.

"Your Majesty, Master Mu is here."

"What is he doing here?"

He just came back from Muyu Pavilion early this morning, and now it's almost dark, why did he come over.

"Your Majesty, before, Gonggong Zhou of Chuxiu Palace took something to Muyu Pavilion."

"Something? What is it? ”

In fact, Long Jiangye was a little surprised at this point, this Mu Jiu still has something to do with the concubines in the harem?

"This minion doesn't know either."

The dragon casually turned the red jade wrench in his hand and ordered Mo Nan: "You go down, I will do your job well." ”

"Yes, my subordinates know."

Mo Nan is always mysterious, and no one can see when he comes.

Now I didn't leave from the main gate of the Heart Cultivation Palace, when Mu Jiu came in, Long Jiangye was draped alone, and his clothes were not draped loosely on his body.

As soon as Mu Jiu came in, he saw such a fragrant scene, and his mouth was a little dry for a moment, and he hurriedly lowered his head, feeling that he had come at an inopportune time.

"Come here, change my dressing."

This is an undoubted command, Mu Jiu did not dare to refuse, and slowly approached...... 2k reading web
