Chapter 107: Red Bean Earrings
In Ningxing Palace, the fragrance of tea is refreshing, and after taking a sip of tea, Rong Guifei said slowly: "Presumably, the queen mother has already heard of it, right? ”
Don't say anything else, but which pot is not opened.
Gu Ning had heard it a long time ago, and she had been waiting for Gu Qing to explain to her, maybe she didn't need to explain, she just needed to express her intentions, but there was news that she was sick.
Slender fingers touched the jade bracelet in her hand, her face was very pale, and she squinted and said, "Concubine Rong came early in the morning, won't it be for this?"
"Of course not. Rong Guifei smiled: "The concubine is naturally here to ask the queen for peace, no matter what, in the harem, the queen's status is the highest." ”
Hearing this, Gu Ning's chest fluctuated slightly, and he felt a lot more relieved.
Concubine Rong is right, no matter how much news there are other women in the palace, it can't compare to her graceful status.
In that case, what else is she afraid of? Just let it go, and when the time comes, there will be people lining up to settle the bill for her.
"Gu Cairen is the queen's cousin, please be safe today, why didn't you see her coming?" Rong Guifei pretended to be stupid and asked deliberately.
Gu Ning's face was expressionless: "The matter of Gu Cairen's illness has been spread all over the world, hasn't Concubine Rong heard of it?"
"Oh! Come to think of it, look at this brain, it's completely confused. ”
A hint of shrewdness flashed in Rong Guifei's eyes, and the glass red earrings on her ears were very conspicuous, and as she inadvertently turned her head, it just made Gu Ning look at it.
"The concubine's earrings are so chic, the palace likes it very much, I don't know if I can take it down and let the palace take a sample, and Ming'er also let Zhen Sifang make a pair. ”
When Concubine Rong heard this, she quickly took off the earrings and handed them over to the palace maid on the side.
Gu Ning took it and looked at it carefully, and found that the most peculiar thing about the earrings was that there was a small circular hole in the middle of it, which was inlaid with a more red bead, so he asked curiously: "What is the bead in the middle made of?"
Rong Guifei poked her eyes and replied: "The queen is really good-looking, the bead in the middle is a red bean, although it is small, it is indeed the finishing touch of the earrings." This ear pendant was brought back by the concubine's father from outside the Saiwai, and in our capital, I'm afraid, I can't recruit an identical pair. ”
"Not bad. Bengong likes it very much, so let his subordinates make a sample first, and the concubines should be patient and wait. As he spoke, he handed it to Xiao Yu, who walked to the curtain again and taught someone to take a sample.
"If Niangniang likes it, take it, what else do you do?" Rong Guifei said generously.
The corners of Gu Ning's mouth curved, and he shook his head and said, "No." Even if this palace likes it, it can't take away your love. ”
"It's so nice to be a mother. The next time his father sent something again, the concubine asked him to pay attention to the treasures outside the plug and give them to his mother. ”
Although Concubine Rong is the righteous daughter of Li Shen of Zhongshu Ling, she has no children and no daughters under her knees, and treats Concubine Rong as if she were her own. Li Shen has a leisurely work, and he likes to visit everywhere all year round, especially outside the Saiwai, so he can collect those treasures.
After the sample was made, the earrings were also returned to Concubine Rong, and after talking to Gu Ning for a few words, he left Ningxing Palace with the palace maid.
Walking on the road, Xiaohe was particularly puzzled and asked: "The queen said that she likes the master's earrings very much, but she sent someone to take samples and make a new one, isn't it a fake? What's more, she is still a noble queen, and wearing a fake jewelry, isn't it a joke?
Her words touched Rong Guifei's heart, and her footsteps stopped involuntarily, why didn't she think that there were no precious things in the queen's jewelry box?
Fingers touched the pendant on the ear, Rong Guifei's heart tightened, and after a little thought, she said to Xiaohe: "Let's go, let's go to the Phoenix Palace." ”
"Why?"
Concubine Rong sighed deeply: "In a few days, the queen will have earrings exactly like mine." Although it is a fake, the imitation technology in the palace is so high that it is difficult to distinguish. In the unlikely event that something happens to me a day later, the Empress will have my evidence in her hands. ”
Xiaohe sighed, "Queen...... The queen lady looks very gentle, how could she do this?"
"I'm just guessing. However, just in case, we have to endure the pain of love, this red bean earring, I don't want it. ”
"Then what does the master do with this pendant?"
Concubine Rong turned her feet and walked up the path to the Phoenix Palace, and said confidently: "I heard that there is an extra Gu Cai person in the palace, so we will go to the meeting and talk about it." ”
Xiaohe understood that Gu Qing was newly named a talented person, although his status was not high, he had a place in the palace. And when the noble concubine goes to visit her who is sick, she will inevitably give some small gifts or something, and this pendant is the best thing.
As everyone knows, when they were thinking about where the pendant should go, they were already followed by the little palace maid behind them, and followed them all the way to the Phoenix Palace.
Gu Qing had just gotten up from a nap, and he looked lazy and didn't wake up, when he heard the sparrow come to say, "Concubine Rong is visiting." ”
has already said that she is sick, and someone will still come to the door, and I don't know what it means.
Gu Qing applied some pale white rouge to his cheeks, and after lying on the bed half-on his back, he asked the sparrow to invite Rong Guifei in.
"I don't know if my sister is coming, I missed the welcome, please forgive me. The polite words were said first, and Gu Qing deliberately made his voice sound weak, creating the illusion of illness.
"Why did my sister say this? I heard that my sister was sick, so I thought about coming to visit, is it very sick? Has the imperial doctor seen it?" Rong Guifei sat on the edge of the bed, secretly looking at Gu Qing's state, she was indeed sick.
"Ahem, the Imperial Doctor came and took some medicine. ”
Gu Qing pretended to cough a few times, and Rong Guifei subconsciously hid her face to avoid it, and this small move fell in her eyes.
Without further ado, Concubine Rong thought to herself, even if she gave her the earrings, the patient's place of residence could not stay for a long time.
"The emperor named my sister a talented person, and from then on, our sisters are a family. The first visit, I came in a hurry, and there is nothing to prepare, why don't you give you a pair of earrings from this palace?" said Xiaohe took off the earrings for her and put them in the palm of her hand, and the red pendant was extremely beautiful.
No matter how good-looking it was, Gu Qing still refused, "No, how can I accept my sister's things?"
Concubine Rong glared at her eyes and said deliberately: "Does my sister think this pendant is too simple? If you really don't want it, this palace will go back to the palace now to bring a few boxes of jewelry to my sister, and I have to satisfy my sister." ”
"This ...... It's not like this, I see that this pendant is too precious, how dare I accept it? ”
"You can accept it, this earring pendant is the temple in the palace to ask the Buddha, my sister is sick, just accept it, don't offend the Buddha. Maybe, tomorrow morning, the illness will be cured, or not necessarily. ”
They all brought the Buddha out to say something, and Gu Qing was embarrassed to refuse again and again, so he had to take the earring, and then thanked: "Then ...... Thank you sister, my sister has a heart. ”
To be honest, one by one, the sisters shouted out, and Gu Qing was also extremely reluctant. However, in the harem, there is nothing that can be done according to one's own temperament.
She accepted the earring, finished the stone hanging in Rong Guifei's heart, and couldn't help relaxing.
Regardless of whether the queen has that kind of mind or not, she has to save a good hand for herself. Let the two sisters of their Gu Mansion fight each other, and she will wait to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
The little palace maid who was following outside the Phoenix Palace saw Rong Guifei walking out with a relaxed face, her eyes stopped on her empty ears, she had an answer in her heart, and ran back to Ningxing Palace in a puff of smoke.
"What you saw is true?Rong Guifei really gave the earrings to Gu Qing?Have you looked carefully?" Gu Ning asked three times in a row.
The little palace maid who followed Rong Guifei was her personal maid Xiaoyu.
"Yes, sis. The slave maid saw that Rong Guifei entered the Phoenix Palace, and the earrings were gone. The slave guessed, could it be that Concubine Rong gave it to Gu Cairen?"
Gu Ning nodded thoughtfully, "There is a possibility." ”
"If that's the case, Concubine Rong is inevitably too cunning. Xiao Yu said, "The last second he said that the earrings were unique things, and he was also very precious, and the next second he gave them away." Mother, what do you think of this?"
Rong Guifei......
"Hmph, she's also smart, she guessed what Bengong thought, so she hurriedly put it aside. ”
"But you didn't do anything, mother. ”
Gu Ning's eyes were ruthless: "In the past, I didn't dare to do any bad things in this palace. But now, it's different, this palace has something to wait for, and that is status. Therefore, Hongu must clear the way in order to sit firmly in this position. ”
Xiaoyu naturally understood what she meant, "The earrings were given to Gu Cairen, do you have any ideas?"
gave it to Gu Qing.
Gu Ning let out a long sigh, "No matter how she is, she is also the sister of this palace. If she doesn't commit a crime, this palace will turn a blind eye to her, otherwise, that pair of earrings is a witness to her fall!"
————
The brocade lightly wrapped several layers of cloth strips of red bean earrings, and according to Gu Qing's instructions, put it in a jewelry box that was not commonly used.
"Look at the texture of these earrings is very good, it doesn't look like something in the capital, I don't know where Rong Guifei got the good things, but she is willing to give them to the master?"
"She said that she asked the Buddha for it in the temple, but I didn't want it, she had to give it. I'm afraid I won't take it. ”
Jinque smiled happily: "Such a good thing, since others dare to give it, why doesn't the master dare to accept it?"
Gu Qing shook his head and sighed: "Hey, my situation is already very embarrassing, and now the situation has not been figured out, in case I pick up something unclean in a daze, I don't know how I will die in the future." ”
"Master, don't keep talking about death, people will live in this life. Moreover, the slave and maid guessed that the emperor must have a master in his heart. Otherwise, why do you want to place your master in the Phoenix Palace? Don't you still value your master?"
How did you talk about Liancheng? Gu Qing said angrily: "He just thinks about how to embarrass me and pay attention to it?" However, I am indeed quite heavy. ”
