Nie Yuansheng is Ji Shen's companion, and he has been in and out of the palace since he was a child, and the Empress Dowager Gao is very familiar with him, so even if the Empress Dowager Gao's face is not good-looking, she just does the usual courtesy. But Mu Biwei saw the Empress Dowager Gao for the first time, and when she heard Ji Shen mention herself, she took advantage of the situation to come out of the queue and saluted formally: "Slave Mu Biwei wishes the Empress Dowager and the concubine Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an!" ”

Empress Dowager Gao didn't seem to hear or see it, let her kneel down, beckoned Ji Shen and Ji Xi over, pointed to the foot-high embroidery screen and said with a light smile: "The mourning family and your mother Wen talked about the magpie bird on it, and the mourning family said that it looks like a magpie, but your mother Wen said that this should be the phoenix in the phoenix peony embroidered in the mist sun, you are young, your eyes are much better than the two old bones of the mourning family, and help take a look at what it is?" ”

Ji Shen saw that the Empress Dowager Gao was embarrassed in public, Mu Biwei's face was a little stunned, Ji Xi didn't answer, and Concubine Wen had already pretended to be angry: "The Empress Dowager obviously knows that it must be a phoenix, and she deliberately cheats!" Who doesn't know that His Majesty and King Guangling are both filial people, how can there be no reason not to be the Queen Mother? Being so angry with her, the atmosphere suddenly became more lively, and Ji Shen paused when he reached the edge of his mouth.

When Empress Dowager Gao heard this, there was a trace of amazement in her eyes, but she smiled and said, "Speaking of which, aren't you also their mother?" Besides, it's just an embroidered screen, so why don't you want to deceive you? ”

Concubine Wen covered her mouth and smiled: "I'm not afraid of the Queen Mother's tricks, but Your Majesty's palms are good, and the King of Guangling is full of poetry and books, and they are all good men in my Northern Liang, but how can I know how to embroider?" If you want to look at this, it's better to call Mu Qingyi over there. ”

Mu Biwei didn't get up with the permission of Empress Dowager Gao because she made a big gift, and now she is still kneeling on the ground, with a low eyebrow and a low eyebrow, she was slightly surprised, this Concubine Wen seems to have the intention of relieving herself? However, then another snort, this is not surprising, Wen is just a concubine in the end, and she is not Ji Shen's biological mother, now the Empress Dowager Gao and Ji Shen are angry, if she is a smart person, of course she can only spare no effort to persuade peace, Ji Shen personally brought herself over, which shows that this will pay attention to herself, but the Empress Dowager Gao wants to slap herself in the face, of course Concubine Wen wants to take the middle round.

Hearing what Concubine Wen said, Empress Dowager Gao showed a look of boredom, but Ji Xi was worried about what King Anping had entrusted her, and was worried that Empress Dowager Gao would not have time to mention it if she clashed with Mu Biwei and Ji Shen, so she answered: "What Concubine Wen said is extremely true. ”

Ji Xi originally said this because he didn't want the Empress Dowager Gao to be angry, but he didn't expect that after he said this, Empress Dowager Gao's face became even more ugly, and he sneered: "Erlang can think of it?" The county lord, the craftsmanship of the eldest daughter of your princess, is it something that can be appreciated in Tsing Yi? ”

Seeing that Empress Dowager Gao was angry, Ji Xi hurriedly pleaded guiltily: "It's the child's thoughtlessness, but the child thinks that Aiyang is young in the end, and when he learns embroidery, he also has to evaluate the quality of the embroidery, so he has no other intentions." ”

Concubine Wen next to her also said apologetically: "It's because I think it's wrong, the Queen Mother doesn't want to worry about me, but it's me who has caused King Guangling." ”

Empress Dowager Gao saw that her favorite son and Concubine Wen, who had always been good friends, all made amends, so her anger subsided slightly, and Ji Shen said lightly: "Is this the embroidered screen made by Ai Yang that Mo Zuosi said?" If you want to know what the magpie bird is, why not find a gift list and take a look? ”

Ji Shen is the emperor in the end, he changed the topic like this, although the Empress Dowager Gao did not follow the will of Concubine Wen and King Guangling to call Mu Biwei to get up, but she couldn't help but tell Mo Zuosi to get the gift list, but the atmosphere in the palace was cold for a while.

Concubine Wen deliberately eased up, and said to the Queen Mother with a smile: "The Queen Mother will definitely lose to me this time!" ”

"Mother Wen may not win, and the child looks like a magpie Dengmei." Ji Xi also knew Concubine Wen's intentions, and Wen Yan said.

But I heard Ji Shen smile and said: "Ai Yang is young, and it is not strange that the embroidery is gone, but I think what Concubine Wen said is reasonable, it should be the genus of the phoenix." When he said this, he didn't even glance at the embroidery screen, and anyone could see that he was angry.

Mu Biwei felt a little relieved, in the end, Ji Shen had a history of confronting the Queen Mother for Sun Guifei, with him in the Yidian, although he was still inevitably embarrassed to meet the Queen Mother, it was much easier in the end.

How could Empress Dowager Gao not hear what Ji Shen meant? Immediately frowned, Concubine Wen was also a little surprised, and hurriedly said to the Queen Mother: "In the end, Your Majesty is benevolent, but I am afraid that if I lose alone, it will be difficult to step down." ”

Mu Bi said in her heart, no wonder this concubine is liked by the Empress Dowager Gao, and she is the only concubine in Emperor Ruizong's harem who has a prince except for the Empress Dowager Gao. Ji Shen clearly felt that Empress Dowager Gao was partial, and did not ask herself to get up and sweep his face, so Empress Dowager Gao ignored herself under the pretext of arguing with Concubine Wen to appreciate the embroidered screen of the county lord of Haoyang County, Ji Xi took Concubine Wen's words but felt that the atmosphere in the palace was stalemate, and he intended to ease it, and as soon as Ji Shen opened his mouth like this, he also stood on Concubine Wen's side, but it seemed that he intended to confront Empress Dowager Gao.

Even though Empress Dowager Gao likes Concubine Wen's agility and dexterity very much, but seeing her own son on the side of others, even if it is not a big deal, she is unhappy in the end - whether Empress Dowager Gao is Ji Shen's biological mother and mother-in-law, and Ji Shen is still the emperor, that is, Empress Dowager Gao knows that Ji Shen is just doing this to fight with herself, how can she not be angry with Concubine Wen? And of course, Concubine Wen was not so confused that she thought that Ji Shen was more important than her biological mother when she stood like this, she said this as if she was light, and said that Ji Shen's original anger was unbearable to see her lose too ugly, and faintly praised the Empress Dowager Gao, and when the Empress Dowager Gao heard this, her brows were a little looser.

Mo Zuosi personally went to get the list, and after turning back, the Empress Dowager Gao ordered her to read it in the palace, but she heard her say clearly: "This is a piece of the peony embroidered screen worn by the lord of Aiyang County!" ”

As soon as her words fell, Concubine Wen had already laughed: "The Queen Mother should admit defeat now?" ”

"Is it really a phoenix wearing a peony?" Although Empress Dowager Gao knew that Ji Shen was deliberately embarrassed after bringing Mu Biwei to Ganquan Palace, so she took the embroidery screen of the county lord of Aiyang to talk about things, but the dispute with Concubine Wen was not false, which would surprise her, "Who taught the embroidery of Aiyang?" Or did you get it wrong? ”

Ji Shen heard this, glanced at a few embroidery screens, sure enough, it was a nondescript magpie bird lying in a mess of unclear kinds, only looking at the flowers and plants, although he could not delve into embroidery, but in the palace and enjoyed the thoughtfulness of the people around him, it was not even good or bad, the lord of Aiyang County was young, and she was the daughter of the clan, her status was noble, and there was always a group of people who applauded what she embroidered, Ji Shen himself came over like this, so he didn't feel that the lord of Aiyang County was rude, but now the embroidery screen was placed in front of him, Ji Shen felt a little ridiculous, and said to Ji Xi: "Second brother, this embroidered screen was embroidered by Ai Yang himself, and you actually admit it?" ”

Ji Xi was also a little embarrassed, and said: "I only know that she said some time ago that she wanted to embroider something with the queen mother, but she didn't know what she wanted to embroider, and she asked a few times earlier, but she just refused to say, thinking that she was the first to tell the queen mother, so she didn't embarrass her." He also explained, "Sent to the palace, Aiyang didn't want to interfere alone, but he was sent to the palace when the princess had some food, and I don't want her to remember to write a list." ”

Concubine Wen couldn't help but smile and said: "Maybe the county lord originally wanted to embroider a magpie Dengmei, but in the middle, he felt that the pattern of the phoenix wearing a peony was more suitable, no matter what, it was the county lord's filial piety to the queen mother." ”

Empress Dowager Gao was a little excited: "That's it, the mourning family should have taken a look at the gift list at the beginning, and now they don't have to lose!" ”

Ji Xi had the heart to do something for King Anping, so he joked: "It's because of the poor embroidery in Aiyang, so the queen mother lost this time, but I don't know what the color head is, so it's a child's head?" ”

Empress Dowager Gao already loved him, because she scolded him a few words for Mu Biwei, and she was a little reluctant in her heart, so she said angrily: "It's just a joke with your Concubine Wen, taking a string of azure glass beads and betting on the red wax beads she is wearing today, where do you want to return them?" ”

Concubine Wen smiled and said: "This is the filial piety of the King of Guangling, the lord of Yuyang County embroidered the first screen and did not forget the Queen Mother, most of them also learned from the King of Guangling." And said, "This will I know what His Majesty is doing to stand on my side, since there is no reason to win, but the Queen Mother's string of azure glass beads is exactly eighteen, all of them are the same, if it is demolished, it is really a violent thing, and I am also His Majesty's elder, so I will not win the bet but not give His Majesty dividends?" Even if you win, you can only give it to Your Majesty, so Your Majesty will pay homage to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother guessed correctly and won my red wax beads, and if you lose, Your Majesty went around here in a circle and intercepted the bet with the Queen Mother. ”

When she said this, Empress Dowager Gao and Ji Shen couldn't help but ease their colors, and Empress Dowager Gao said angrily: "You also know that you are their elders, and you say it so pitifully in front of the younger generations, as if the mourning family called them together to help you blackmail you!" ”

Concubine Wen said with a smile: "Although it wasn't the Queen Mother who called me to slander me, King Guangling and His Majesty are both the Queen Mother's own flesh and blood, and they have the same intentions. ”

Although Empress Dowager Gao was tired of Mu Biwei again, she also smiled and said, "What you said is not that Shiro is not here today because he didn't help you?" ”

"Shiro is not here today, otherwise I am afraid that I will have to export things, and the Queen Mother forgot that Shiro and His Majesty fought crickets in the past?" Concubine Wen's eyes fluttered, and Ying Ying smiled, "Shiro, from small to large, he bets on what to lose, if he is here, I won't bet with the Queen Mother!" ”

Empress Dowager Gao thought that her eyes were getting softer and softer before, and she glanced at Mu Biwei again, and saw that she had been deliberately ignored and ignored at these times, but out of the corner of her eyes, she noticed that she always knelt upright, her expression was calm and not arrogant, and her heart was not from a low background, and this calmness could not be raised by a small family.

Concubine Wen has been with her all the year round, how she didn't know that Empress Dowager Gao's mind was shaking, so she quietly patted her hand again, and glanced at Ji Shen, intending not to make a gap between mother and son for a Tsing Yi.

"You are the daughter of Muqi? Let's get up first. Although Empress Dowager Gao was still a little unhappy in her heart, she finally opened her mouth.
