Chapter 235: Foolish and loyal, that's stupid
A gold foil peacock hairpin inlaid with pale sapphires is obliquely held in the temples, and the red gold and gemstone tassel earrings in the style of the finch fall gorgeously on the side of the beauty's face. The glamorous and feminine face depicts delicate and rich makeup, and the intricate layered embroidered skirt is undulating.
The gold, silver, and jewels on the tray filled the light.
The imperial concubine lowered her eyes and glanced at the dazzling jewels, and her smile was very charming: "These are the rewards given to you by this palace." As long as you can do the things ordered by the palace beautifully, not to mention these gold, silver and jewelry, even if you become an official and become a knight. β
"Minions are stupid." When the guards heard this, their hearts suddenly cooled.
They weren't smart, but they weren't stupid.
If you accept these gold, silver and jewels from Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, it is equivalent to agreeing to serve Her Royal Highness. Now they are still serving as guards in the palace, and this kind of betrayal of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, once discovered, will be dead without a place to be buried.
It is clearly a 'reward', but in fact it is a 'bribe'.
The top is 'traitor', and the bottom is 'violation'.
"Why, don't you dare?" Seeing the situation, the imperial concubine gradually restrained her smile, and the jewel tassel hanging from the peacock's head shone brightly. She looked down at the three guards kneeling on the ground with cold eyes, and her slender jade fingers tapped on the armrest of the ornate chair for a moment.
The ink-colored robes embroidered with the white flying crane cloud pattern were scattered on top of each other, and the guards bowed their heads in deep fear when they heard this, and they all replied in unison: "Please also ask Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine to atone for your sins, the servants and others really can't obey their fate." β
Before the words fell, the guards respectfully and neatly kowtowed three times in succession, and the dull and powerful kowtowing sound reverberated in the magnificent palace.
It is a delicately carved dark pattern on the gilded jade bricks.
The gold leaf peacock gemstone hairpin was obliquely held in the cloud temples, and the imperial concubine smiled when she saw the situation, and she was bright and beautiful: "Okay, look at your old-fashioned and sluggish appearance, no wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince favors and appreciates." You must know that only knowing how to serve the master loyally is stupid: only by judging the situation is talented. β
Her graceful demeanor gently brushed the gemstone tassel on the side of her hanging face, and her face was extremely beautiful and charming: "Are you willing to be a fool, or do you want to rise to the top and be appreciated by this palace...... Talent? β
The three guards forced themselves to hold back the impritation in their hearts, and just wanted to kowtow and politely refuse again, when the charming and pleasant voice of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine came from their heads: "There is only one opportunity, the opportunity must not be missed, and the time will ......not come again."
The charming and soft voice flowed to their ears, and their hearts were numb when they listened, as if they were softly scratched by a delicate and beautiful Persian cat: "So, don't be in a hurry to refuse, think about it first, whether it is more cost-effective to do your duty for His Royal Highness the Prince, or it is more cost-effective to serve the palace." β
"This ......," the guards hesitated. They looked at each other and silently asked each other's opinions.
Seeing the situation, the imperial concubine quietly hooked her flaming red lips, and reprimanded the maids holding the golden tray with meaningful words: "You guys, you really don't have the eyesight to see, why don't you hurry up and put these gold, silver and jewelry in front of these three guards!" Look at your timid, old-fashioned and sluggish appearance, if you envy these treasures and rewards, you can learn how to judge the situation. β
Although the words in these words sounded a little piercing, the sentence 'Lord Guard' really made the three guards kneeling on the ground feel excited and happy involuntarily when they heard the words, and even the excitement that was indescribable.
In the past, in the palace, they would inevitably be reprimanded by some masters, whether they were right or wrong, as long as the master said wrong, it was wrong. They had no choice but to kneel down and admit their mistakes to the ground.
But now, this short sentence of 'Lord Guard' has rekindled their hope to live with dignity.
He has served in the palace for many years, although his qualifications are not shallow, but they are not deep, as long as the head of the guards is qualified to be called a 'lord' by others, and these second-class guards are at best a minion, and they are still one of the countless minions in the palace.
The same humble and lowly, and the same nameless origin.
How ridiculous and how pathetic!
The three guards were greatly touched when they heard this, and they couldn't help but kneel and raise their eyes, looking at the beautiful woman sitting on the gorgeous chair with blazing eyes. In the bottom of my heart, I am about to move, and the idea of being superior to others is involuntarily erupting.
The palace dress with gorgeous embroidered peacock gold patterns swayed along the third-level jade steps, and the imperial concubine carelessly stroked the golden jade tassel wearing the girdle, and continued to add fuel to the fire: "This person, a lifetime is not long, but this βββfate is very different." β
The beautiful eyes with thick eyeliner are extremely charming, she raises her wrist and gazes, revealing an indescribable charm in her every move: "Some people are prosperous, rich and powerful, and some have enjoyed inexhaustible glory and wealth all their lives: while some people are poor, or they are inactive, mediocre and nameless wasted their years." When you are old enough to leave the palace, what else can you do besides receiving some subsidies, bonuses, and pensions? β
The imperial concubine glanced at the three guards with a smile, and her gaze slowly flowed across their faces like a moonlight: "This moon smelt that has been accumulated for half a lifetime, I'm afraid I can't afford to buy the gold, silver and jewelry in this tray." If you marry a wife and have children in the future, and start a family, won't you be even more stretched? β
The swaying gold and jade tassels, hairpin gems, and the melodious sound flowed between collisions, and the imperial concubine leaned lazily on the gorgeous seat, word by word, and her voice was soft: "People live in this life, and the picture is only a few decades of time." If you can't live happily and vigorously, then what's the point? β
Before the words fell, the guards could no longer hold back the ambition in their hearts, and they all kowtowed and asked in unison: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness, what do you want the servants to do for you?" As long as it is within your means, the minions are willing to do it for you! β
"It seems that the vision of this palace is not wrong, the three of you, all of you will judge the situation and be a material that can be made." The imperial concubine smiled, obviously very satisfied with the guards' answers.
It can even be said that it is simply satisfying.
Because what she needs is precisely this kind of unwillingness...... Villain.
