Chapter 37: Interrogation
"Sister Xian, the pattern of your clothes is so strange."
Hearing this, the corners of Luo Jiaqi's mouth were almost undetectably provoked, and the show was about to begin.
Concubine Xian's body stiffened, and she turned her head to look at the person who spoke, and the people around her also looked at her because of this sudden sentence, including the emperor and the queen mother.
Looking at the person who spoke, Luo Jiaqi's eyes darkened, that person was Li Guiren, and she was also under Qi Guifei, but her grade was not as high as Concubine Chen.
But even so, because this Li Guiren will befriend Qi Guifei, and he also hides that Qi Guifei has done a lot of things, so he is quite taken care of by Qi Guifei.
No, this time it's the same old look, and this is a willing gunman for Qi Guifei.
Hearing Li Guiren say that Concubine Xian's clothes were problematic, everyone's eyes looked at Concubine Xian's clothes intentionally or unintentionally, but they didn't find anything wrong.
"Li Guiren, I don't know what is wrong with this palace dress?"
knew that the other party was here to embarrass herself, so Concubine Xian didn't plan to give her a good look, and looked at each other with a smile.
And it seems that she changed her title unintentionally, and this is actually to let people know that she is a concubine from the second grade, but now she is actually being criticized by a little nobleman.
The people next to him were not stupid, they could obviously hear the meaning of this, and Princess Anping, who was good friends with Concubine Xian, immediately turned dark, but she didn't make a sound, just watched.
The smile on the corner of Li Guiren's mouth froze, obviously he didn't expect that Concubine Xian, who was famous in the harem for being gentle and easy to bully, would say this at this time, obviously she fell behind in the first round.
Qi Guifei didn't expect it, but she didn't panic in the slightest:
"Li Guiren, didn't you say that there is a problem with Concubine Xian's sister's clothes? What's wrong? ”
Seeing that Qi Guifei couldn't help but stand up to help Li Guiren, Luo Jiaqi sneered on the side,
Didn't you ask knowingly? But it doesn't matter, wouldn't it be fun if everything was said now?
With Qi Guifei as the backing, Li Guiren instantly regained her confidence, and saw her stretch out her hand and point to the palace clothes on Concubine Xian's body:
"The patterns on Sister Xian's clothes, why does the concubine look so much like a peony?"
As soon as these words came out, all the concubines present looked directly at the patterns of the clothes on Concubine Xian's body.
And there was a discussion on whether it was a peony or not.
Hearing this, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother frowned unabashedly, you must know that in this harem, clothes are also very particular.
For example, the color of golden yellow can only be worn by the queen, and it is also a phoenix robe. In addition to the queen, there can be so many pieces of red.
But no matter what, the queen is also the lord of this harem, so the red clothes worn by the concubine cannot use the peony, the pattern of the king of flowers.
If there is a peony embroidery, then the color of the garment should be secondary, and choose a different color or a slightly worse water red than the red.
As the grade gets lower and lower, so do the requirements for this dress.
And Concubine Xian's original water-red palace dress is no problem, but if the peony pattern is embroidered, it is a violation of the concubine, it is rude!
And the queen and the queen mother will definitely dislike it, especially the queen mother, who is known to be a person who is very fond of etiquette.
Seeing that the discussion around her was getting louder and louder, Qi Guifei's eyes flashed, and then she smiled like a good old man:
"Li Guiren, you should have read it wrong, how could Sister Xian, a person who knows so much about etiquette, mess up the etiquette?"
Obviously, it sounds like she is excusing Concubine Xian, but Luo Jiaqi knows that because of these words, it will deepen the Queen Mother's dislike for Concubine Xian.
But...... It's not time yet, but you can still let Qi Guifei and them continue to perform.
"Sister Guifei! When has it been, this person has been bullied to your head, why do you still want to excuse others.
This pattern is clearly a peony, I don't believe you all have a good look, what does the peony look like, everyone doesn't know. ”
Li Guiren looked at Qi Guifei as if he hated iron and steel, and when he spoke, he had a sad face.
And all of a sudden, more people began to check the patterns on Concubine Xian's clothes, not to mention, it really looked like a peony.
This time, whether it was the queen mother or the queen, even the emperor changed his face, and Princess Anping was a little anxious, thinking about how to help Concubine Xian.
"Concubine Xian, what do you have to say?"
Just when the surrounding discussion was louder, the Queen Mother suddenly spoke, and for a while, everyone stopped talking, looked at the Queen Mother, and then looked at Concubine Xian, wanting to know how the other party wanted to explain.
Qi Guifei and Li Guiren on the side had a triumphant smile in their eyes, but there was no problem on the surface.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the concubine really didn't know that the pattern on her body was actually a peony."
Hearing the Queen Mother's question, Concubine Xian hurriedly replied,
"Moreover, this dress was rewarded when the concubine was promoted, and the concubine didn't know that there would be such a problem."
"Sister, what does this mean, there is something wrong with the things rewarded by the emperor?"
How could Qi Guifei waste such a good opportunity, and immediately asked a sharp question.
Sure enough, hearing this, Emperor Xixia's face became gloomy.
If it was in the past, Concubine Xian at this time would have panicked, but Luo Jiaqi had already given her a preventive injection before this, so she could cope so freely at this time:
Sister Guifei laughed, the concubine just said that the clothes were rewarded, but she didn't say whether it was a reward from the emperor or someone else.
After all, at the beginning, Sister Queen, you, and others had given gifts to concubines. ”
"Then you can't blame others for the problem, even if someone gave my sister a problem with the clothes, but how could my sister not find out?
is still on such an important occasion, so blatantly worn out to show off, doesn't he just want to extinguish the prestige of the concubine? ”
This Li Guiren is obviously here to be a mouth cannon, no, Concubine Xian just finished explaining, this one quit, and asked in a fierce tone.
The Queen Mother's brows furrowed a little tighter,
Although she didn't like Concubine Xian overstepping the concubine, it was indeed rude for this little nobleman to embarrass a concubine in such a large public.
Qi Guifei also seemed to feel the empress dowager's displeasure, and reached out and gently pulled Li Guiren, realizing that she said less.
The corners of Luo Jiaqi's mouth raised slightly, and it was almost time, only to see her lightly touch Mama Zhang next to her, and gave the other party a look.
Mama Zhang understood, nodded slightly, and walked out of the crowd:
"Li Guiren may have misunderstood, the pattern of my master's clothes is not a peony."
