Chapter 101: Beautiful
The concubine Niangniang has always been a mentor and friend since Sima Mo took power, and she is also the favorite concubine of the first emperor.
She only gave birth to a princess for the first emperor in her life, and the princess had married Pan Bang in the year of Jilu, even so, she still has an unshakable position in the palace, Rao is the scheming Empress Dowager Dou, and she was also a little jealous of her.
At this moment, this woman who is over forty years old, but still fair-skinned and beautiful, is sitting upright on a jade throne. Qianqian Su picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip, gestured, all elegant and calm, coupled with a clear green dress, the ink hair was pulled into a high bun, and the hairpin was crowned with a double phoenix bead golden wings, simple but without losing the high-end atmosphere.
"Mother."
Hearing this, the concubine raised her eyes to look, and when she found that the person who came was Sima Mo, a smile flashed in her dark eyes, "Your Majesty is here?" Sit down. When the words fell, her eyes fell on Murong Jin behind Sima Mo, and then her black eyes were a little surprised, she remembered that there had always been only Gonggong Jiang behind Sima Mo, when did he change to a palace maid?
As if sensing that the concubine's gaze fell on him, Murong Jin raised his eyes and looked at it, and then he was stunned, and then blessed his body slightly, but his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the woman sitting under the concubine at this time, so Murong Jin's body was obviously stunned, just because the woman turned out to be Mrs. Li Ji.
"Concubine to see Your Majesty." When Mrs. Li Ji saw Sima Mo coming, she immediately got up and bowed.
Sima Mo's eyes glanced at Mrs. Li Ji, and then remembered that he almost mistook Mrs. Li Ji for Murong Jin last time, so a trace of disgust flashed in his dark eyes, "No need to be polite." After the words fell, he stepped forward and sat down on the jade seat on the other side of the concubine.
Murong Jin bit his lip, and then stood beside Sima Mo obediently, but his breathing became difficult for no reason, probably because Mrs. Li Ji was below, and the familiar smell of fat powder lingered on the tip of his nose.
Originally, Murong Jin was about to wait outside the palace just now, but Sima Mo sneered at him and threw such a sentence, "As a maid in the palace in front of the palace, you should be with me, don't you understand?" ”
In this way, she had no choice but to follow Sima Mo and step into the hall together, but what she didn't expect was that she would see Mrs. Li Ji here again, no wonder, after all, Mrs. Li Ji is the niece of the concubine, and when she learned that the concubine returned to the palace, she would naturally be the first to come over to ask for peace.
After Sima Mo sat down, he immediately picked up the tea cup that the palace maid had just served, took a sip, and then raised his eyes and glanced at Murong Jin as if unintentionally, when he found that Murong Jin always seemed to be submissive, but in fact, there was a faint sense of alienation between his eyebrows and eyes, so his eyes were slightly dark.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Your Majesty seems to have lost weight......" The concubine's eyes fell on Sima Mo and frowned, "The concubine knows that Your Majesty has always cared about the people of Liming, but no matter how important the major affairs of the country are, Your Majesty must also take care of the dragon body. ”
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the concubine Niangniang actually said that the palace maid in front of the palace was a personal palace maid.
"I'm afraid the concubine has misunderstood, but it's just a maid in the front palace, where does the word come from." When the words fell, he raised his eyebrows, and his gaze fell on Murong Jin coldly, "Did you say it?" ”
Murong Jin's dark eyes flashed, and then he was indifferent and detached, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. ”
Hearing this, Sima Mo was cold, and his thin lips were pursed.
The concubine's eyes wandered over Sima Mo and Murong Jin, and then she understood it in her heart and said with a smile: "I see." After the words fell, she looked at Murong Jin for a moment, and then nodded, "It's a delicate-looking girl." ”
"Concubine Niang Liao praised." Murong Jin's tone was humble.
"Since it is His Majesty's palace maid, then I must do my best to serve His Majesty's dragon body."
"The slave and maid will remember the teachings of the concubine and will definitely take care of His Majesty's daily life and diet."
Murong Jin's words cleverly explained the relationship between himself and Sima Mo as just a king and a slave to everyone present.
In fact, Murong Jin has always been deeply impressed by the wisdom and atmosphere of the concubine Niangniang, and she is also quite respectful, but how could a woman as smart as the concubine Niangniang use the wrong words three times and twice?
The so-called "serving His Majesty's dragon body", the implicit meaning of it, it is self-evident, Murong Jin is not a stupid person, he has already guessed that the concubine Niangniang is testing the relationship between her and Sima Mo.
Hearing this, the concubine's dark eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, as if she didn't expect Murong Jin's agility and intelligence, so when she looked at Murong Jin again, her eyes couldn't help but have a touch of appreciation, "In this case, if you take care of Your Majesty, this concubine will be relieved." ”
Sima Mo gritted his teeth, and Murong Jin's clever clarification made Sima Mo have the idea of wanting to bite Murong Jin to pieces.
"The concubine can rest assured, even if there is no palace maid, the concubine is His Majesty's wife and concubine, and she will serve His Majesty's dragon body well." The person who spoke was Mrs. Li Ji.
From just now to now, Mrs. Li Ji seems to be holding a teacup and sipping slowly, but in fact, she is listening carefully.
From Murong Jin's words, Mrs. Li Ji couldn't help but guess. Could it be that Your Majesty and her have really never crossed over?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Li Ji couldn't help but feel happy in her heart.
Although compared with the stunning appearance of other women in the harem, Murong Jin can only be regarded as beautiful at best, but after all, she is a woman who stays by Sima Mo's side, even if she is a maid in the palace in front of the palace, she is by her side every day, and it is difficult to guarantee that one day she will fly on the branch and become a phoenix, and the world is unpredictable, especially in this deep palace.
"Mrs. Li Ji also has this heart, this concubine is really deeply comforted, if Mrs. Li Ji can spread the branches for Dajin earlier, it will be better."
Hearing this, the corners of Mrs. Li Ji's eyes and eyebrows immediately became red, "The concubine will work hard." When the words fell, her dark eyes secretly glanced at Sima Mo.
Murong Jin saw that Mrs. Li Ji's face could not hide her shyness, so a stinging pain crossed her heart for no reason.
Next, the concubine Niangniang chatted with Sima Mo and Mrs. Li Ji, and suddenly a palace maid came to report, saying that Yu Meiren was unwell and could not come in person to greet the concubine Niangniang, so she ordered the palace maid to send a few potted plants with a unique fragrance to express their hearts.
The concubine smiled happily, and then ordered Mama Li next to her to accept the potted plants, and instructed the palace maids to remember to take care of the poppy.
Mrs. Li Ji scoffed, knowing that the poppy's ill health was just an excuse.
Soon, at noon, the concubine left Sima Mo and Mrs. Li Ji to dine together in Weiyang Palace.
