Chapter 127: A War of Tongues
It was like a big stone thrown into the calm lake water, which should have caused a large wave, but the fact was that as if nothing had happened, the stone was thrown into the lake, without a single ripple, without waves, and directly to the bottom of the water.
Concubine De's faint reaction made Concubine Li feel bored, and she stopped talking, and pulled the kumquat in her hand wholeheartedly.
Mu Ling was surprised by Concubine De's reaction, she had been grounded for a month, and this time she also annoyed Liang Chu, who hadn't seen Liang Chu for a month, and was faintly on the verge of falling out of favor.
If Concubine De is as flamboyant as before, then Mu Ling Ke will really wonder if this is Concubine De.
In the incense burner of bronze hollow carved peony, a Zen incense has been quietly burned, and the little maid has changed it again, and it is time to come!
The queen walked out from behind the purple jade coral screen, and sat on the phoenix seat with the hand of the willow.
After everyone finished greeting the queen, they all sat on the carved agarwood stool.
Mu Ling glanced at the position beside her lightly, Concubine Lan didn't come today?
In the eyes of everyone, Concubine Lan is the person next to the queen, and she is determined by the morning and dusk every day, but she comes very punctually, and there is no time when she hasn't come!
However, today, Concubine Lan has passed the hour and has not come, I am afraid that she will not come.
Mu Ling took a sip of tea, the light flashed in her eyes, why didn't she come? Is it because Concubine De will come today, does Concubine Lan feel that she has no face to face Concubine De?
Mu Ling held the teacup in his hand and glanced at Concubine De lightly, Concubine Lan? So a person who is sleek and flattering should not do this because of this.
What else is there for that?
Mu Ling couldn't think it through, so he simply didn't think about it himself, anyway, if there was something, he would know sooner or later.
"Concubine Lan, didn't you come today?" A low-ranking promise saw that Concubine Lan's position had been vacant, and couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he asked out loud.
The queen smiled faintly, unable to see the dissatisfaction in her eyes.
The queen stretched out her hand, looked at her nails with a pale golden light and a peony pattern on her hands, and said lightly: "Perhaps, there is something wrong with Concubine Lan today, she didn't come in time!" Concubine Lan has always been obedient to the rules, and she is also exceptionally punctual every morning and dusk, but the palace doesn't know why she didn't come today. ”
The queen said that, but there was a hearty laugh, it was Concubine Li.
"Concubine Lan can still have something? I heard that yesterday the emperor turned over the brand of Concubine Lan, maybe it was last night, the emperor was gracious, Concubine Lan was too tired to get up! Li Concubine pinched a slice of orange and put it in her mouth.
Mu Ling quietly gave Concubine Li a look, but Concubine Li didn't care at all.
"It seems that my sister is jealous of Sister Lan! Another day, I have to ask Sister Lan to talk to the emperor and go to Sister Concubine Li's place a few more times, so that my sister can't get up! "If a noble man rolls his eyes, and speaks sharply, he does not care about anything.
If the nobleman is Concubine Lan's loyal follower, naturally everything has to be done for Concubine Lan.
"It's okay for me, I'm happy to live a quiet life, but like a nobleman, you have such a close relationship with Concubine Lan, but you have to let Concubine Lan not monopolize the favor, and give some to the nobles!" Li Concubine didn't give in and shot back.
"That's it!" The queen lowered her face coldly and reprimanded coldly.
"You are all concubines of the emperor, you are all sisters, you should love each other, where the emperor goes, those of us who are concubines should be sensible. In the six palaces, the rain and dew are all wet! ”
The queen swept over everyone sitting here lightly, but no matter how she listened, she seemed to have a strong sense of jealousy and dissatisfaction in the queen's words, as if she was unhappy because Liang Chu didn't go to her much!
"Besides, what a noble status you are! How can you say such blatant and unruly words in public! The queen lowered her voice and brought out the shelf of the middle palace, and the majesty of the lord of the six palaces radiated.
"The concubine knows!" Everyone responded in unison.
"That's it! Today or there is not much to do, just disperse! The queen waved her hand and said.
Mu Ling and the others got up and saluted, and then dispersed.
Until the end, Concubine Lan still did not appear.
Mu Ling, Li Concubine, and Jin agreed to walk back to the Chengqian Palace together.
"Concubine Li, you are too reckless today, those are just a battle of words, what's the point of saying that?" Mu Ling pulled Concubine Li with one hand and Jin with the other hand to agree, and persuaded Concubine Li respectfully.
Concubine Li pursed her lips disapprovingly, knowing that what Mu Ling said was about her quarrel with Ruguiren.
"I just can't get used to the villain's appearance, and I always want to be sarcastic, so I can feel comfortable!"
"Concubine Lan is being favored! Sister, don't anger them! Jin agreed and persuaded softly.
"I'm not afraid! Anyway, in this harem, I am only maintaining the stability and peace of our Korean country and the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the emperor will not do anything to me! I don't have to go to great lengths to compete for favor, and I won't be afraid of them, so why let myself hold my breath and not be happy! Concubine Li casually broke off a flower, gently put it under the tip of her nose and sniffed it, and then threw it on the ground.
Jin agreed and sighed faintly, and said, "I really envy my sister's freedom!"
"That's it! Just do what you want to do, but you also have to be careful not to get yourself into trouble. ”
Mu Ling has been persuading Concubine Li, but he has already made up his mind in his heart to take care of Concubine Li in the future, and if he gets into any trouble, he can also take care of Concubine Li.
"However, what a strange thing it is to have that concubine today! I became well-behaved all of a sudden, and my previous bravado was gone, and it didn't suit my liking! Concubine Li changed the subject again.
Mu Ling and Jin couldn't help but smile secretly when they agreed.
"Sister, it's Concubine De's reaction that is too bland, it's not to your liking! It's still that Concubine De is gone, and the same detached temperament as you used to be, which is not to your liking! Jin promised to smile and make fun of Li Concubine.
Mu Ling listened to Jin's words and smiled even more.
"Okay, you little girl, you're turning a corner now, hurting me!" Concubine Li glared at Jin and agreed.
Jin agreed, but she was not afraid of Concubine Li's pretense of being fierce at all, but smiled even more happily.
"I think what my sister said is right, where is it to make fun of you!"
Mu Ling also said with a smile, and the angry Concubine Li puffed out her cheeks shyly, threw off the two of them angrily, and walked forward.
