Chapter 9: Resignation
Just half a cup of tea, he was ordered to be called by Sima Mo, because Sima Mo asked him to identify and see if there was crab roe in this wonton.
Hearing this, Sima Mo's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and then he looked at Murong Jin who was standing below. I saw that her black hair was pulled up, and only a hollow crystal bead hairpin was left on each side, wearing a light blue Luo shirt, a pink bow tied around her waist, and a gauze of the same color.
"Murong Xiunu has made a meritorious contribution to saving the driver, and she will be exempted from punishment from today, in addition, what reward Murong Xiunu wants, just say it." When he said this, Sima Mo's gaze always fell on Murong Jin's body.
Murong Jin knelt down and bowed, "Concubine thank Your Majesty Longen." ”
"Say, what reward wilt thou give?"
"A concubine doesn't need any reward." Murong Jin opened his mouth without humility or arrogance.
Hearing this, Sima Mo's thin lips pursed.
At this moment, Chef Liu suddenly spoke, "Your Majesty, the lower official has a reluctant request." ”
"Say!" Sima Mo was in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty is bold, please allow your majesty to resign from the position of chef of the imperial cuisine." As if he had made up his mind, he saw Chef Liu speak.
"Why did you resign?" Sima Mo's face was obviously stained with a touch of displeasure.
"Your Majesty, a few days ago, the official received a letter from home to know that his mother was seriously ill in bed, I am afraid that time is running out, Xia Guan is the only son in the family, he lost his father since he was a child, and he grew up with poor mothers, and now he is running out to see his mother's time, and Xia Guan wants to resign and return to his hometown to take care of his mother."
"I'll give you three days to go back and take care of your mother." Sima Mo ordered in a cold voice.
"Your Majesty." At this time, Murong Jin spoke. "Just now, His Majesty asked the concubine what reward she wanted? I wonder if this is still working? ”
"I am the Son of Heaven, I have no jokes since I am the king, what reward you want, just say it." When he said this, a glimmer of light seemed to flash in Sima Mo's originally cold eyes.
"The reward that the concubine wants is very simple, I hope Your Majesty can grant Chef Liu's request to resign."
Murong Jin actually interceded for Chef Liu, and Sima Mo's dark eyes were instantly covered with a layer of frost.
Chef Liu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Murong Jin to intercede for himself, so he hurriedly took the opportunity to bow down for a while, "I beg Your Majesty to fulfill it." ”
Sima Mo looked at the two people kneeling underneath, and couldn't help but narrow his dark eyes slightly. However, Jun didn't joke, this is what he said, so, as arrogant as him, he said coldly, "For Murong Xiunu's sake, I agreed to Chef Liu's request." ”
Hearing this, Chef Liu was overjoyed, and he and Murong Jin knelt down for a while, and then looked at each other and smiled. And this scene happened to fall into Sima Mo's eyes, and I saw Sima Mo's thin lips pursed.
……
……
Boom.
In the Yongming Palace, the delicate white porcelain tea cup fell to the ground.
"Slaves deserve to die." The maidservant dressed in pink palace dress accidentally dropped the teacup, and her face turned pale with fright.
"Get out!" Sima Mo said coldly.
"Your Majesty, be careful of the dragon's body." Gonggong Jiang comforted him, and while speaking, he waved at the palace maid on the ground, so the palace maid hurriedly bowed and hurriedly retreated.
Sima Mo felt a burst of annoyance in his heart for no reason, and he didn't want to stay in this dormitory any longer, so Sima Mo waved his sleeves and took a step, and before leaving, he didn't forget to throw down a sentence, "Don't follow me!" After the words fell, he left the Hall of Eternal Life.
It wasn't until he left the hall that a cool and refreshing wind came to his face, and Sima Mo's displeasure slowly disappeared.
