Chapter 2: Orchids
"Be bold, don't kneel down when you see Your Majesty!"
After Gonggong Jiang drank like this, Murong Jin retracted his gaze, stepped forward, and knelt down unhurriedly, "Show girl Murong Jin, knock on Your Majesty's Sheng'an." ”
Finally, Sima Morui glanced at the flowers all over the ground, and suddenly, a strange flower fell into Sima Mo's eyes.
Jiang Gonggong picked up the peculiar flower with interest, but a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Hurriedly presented the flower in front of Sima Mo, he turned his head to the two people kneeling on the ground: "How can you pick the strange orchids transplanted from Beiyue Kingdom, the strange orchids are rare varieties, but Your Majesty's favorite." ”
Sima Mo's dark eyes swept Gonggong Jiang, and Gonggong Jiang immediately shut up in amusement after receiving Sima Mo's eyes.
When Ruyi heard this, her face turned pale and trembled, "The concubine didn't mean it, the concubine didn't know that this flower was transplanted from Beiyue Kingdom, the concubine was wrong, please forgive Your Majesty!" ”
"Who gave you permission to pick flowers here?" Sima Mo spoke.
"Concubine, concubine body......" Ruyi felt a cold gaze above her head, and she was so frightened that she almost cried.
"It's not about Wanxiunu, it's all the idea of the concubine." Murong Jin's voice suddenly sounded.
Sima Mo's sharp gaze looked at Murong Jin who was kneeling on the ground, "You said all this was your idea?" ”
"It was the concubine who proposed to let Wanxiu Nu and the concubine go to the imperial garden to pick flowers together, if you want to be punished, please also ask Your Majesty to be clear, don't punish the wrong person."
It was obviously kneeling, but Murong Jin's words that were neither humble nor arrogant made Gonggong Jiang on the side stunned for a while. After all, no woman had ever seen His Majesty so fearless.
"What proof do you have that all this was your idea and has nothing to do with her?"
Obviously, the flower basket was on Wan Ruyi, but Murong Jin said that all this was his idea, and when a discerning person saw it, he knew that Murong Jin was lying.
Just when Ruyi was so frightened that she almost suffocated, Murong Jin's voice sounded again.
"Every six months, the palace will distribute flower baskets, embroidery boxes and other items to the concubines below the third rank, so that everyone can pick flowers or do embroidery, but in March this year, a new palace rule was added to the palace, and all any items that are about to be distributed must be burned with the names of the concubines, so if Your Majesty wants to know who came up with the idea of picking flowers just now, you only need to see whose name is engraved at the bottom of the flower basket, and everything will come to fruition."
Sima Mo gestured to Gonggong Jiang on the side with his eyes, so Gonggong Jiang hurriedly picked up the flower basket that had been thrown on the ground just now, turned over the bottom and looked at it, and was stunned, "Your Majesty, the name of Murong Xiunu is engraved at the bottom of this flower basket." ”
Hearing this, Sima Mo said coldly, "Which palace are you a show girl?" ”
"The concubine is a show girl in the Li Courtyard of Changlong Lane." Murong Jin replied calmly.
"Long Alley?"
Seeing Sima Mo's puzzled face, Gonggong Jiang immediately reminded, "Your Majesty, the show girls in Changlong Lane are a group of Chu Xiu who have been in the palace for two years, because entering the palace coincided with the death of Empress Dowager Dou at that time, so Your Majesty, you ordered all the show girls to enter the palace to be assigned to various courtyards in Changlong Lane, and they are not to be seen." ”
Because of Gonggong Jiang's words, Sima Mo seemed to remember something in his expression, and asked, "Since you are a show girl in Changlong Alley, why don't you stay in Changlong Alley?" ”
