Chapter 14: The Auction of Hairpins (7)

Jiang Ning followed Mu Jingzhao's line of sight, and saw that on Mu Jingzhao's dragon robe, the golden dragon's face with vivid aura was stamped with traces of stars by the apple core.

Her heart jumped suddenly, this emperor's clothes must be priceless, and she can't afford it.

Before Mu Jingzhao could speak, she hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, wanting to cover the mottled mark on the golden dragon.

"Your Majesty! It's still so naughty, I know you want to be a concubine, but you shouldn't bump into a courtier concubine in broad daylight! ”

Jiang Ning shouted, his voice so high that it was almost enough for everyone in the palace to hear.

Mu Jingzhao was angry and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, the crowd of people who were originally sitting and chatting in the house rushed towards the door.

"See the Emperor." The workers fell to their knees.

Such an accident blocked the anger on Mu Jingzhao's lips.

"Excuse me." Mu Jingzhao's face was still ugly.

Jiang Ning walked in front of Mu Jingzhao in two steps, cleared his throat, and said in a loud voice: "The emperor cares about the fact that you have paid a lot to maintain the harmony of the inner court, and specially came to the cold palace to participate in the auction with everyone and listen to everyone's thoughts and wishes!" ”

She uttered a long sentence with emotion, but she did not get the expected response.

The palace man in front of her always knelt on the ground without a look.

There is a brief silence.

Jiang Ning, who had witnessed all this, sighed silently.

A stupid emperor like Mu Jingzhao who can offer to spend money to buy his own life must not know how to maintain a relationship with his subordinates.

But in another way of thinking, he can be stupid enough to pay for his own life.

Then, it must be very easy to cheat him out of his money.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning suddenly brightened.

She smiled, and continued to work hard and began to pat her ass, "The emperor listens to public opinion and is sympathetic to his subordinates, it is really a rare Ming Jun!" It is the honor of the palace to have such an emperor, the honor of everyone, and the honor of the country! ”

Jiang Ning's voice fell, and he stretched out his hand and began to applaud.

Helplessly, she was still holding the apple core that she had just eaten in her hand, and she was unable to move and couldn't make a sound.

The crowd was still silent.

Jiang Ning turned his head to look in the direction of Zheliu, and said with his mouth: "Quick-applause-applause-"

Zheliu understood it, and immediately stood up and applauded, and responded loudly.

"Having such an emperor is a blessing for the slaves and maids, and it is also a blessing for the country!"

The crowd applauded like thunder, and the palace people responded in unison, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live-"

Bursts of cheers rang out, Jiang Ning smiled contentedly, and then cautiously turned his head to look at Mu Jingzhao behind him.

Seeing the ice and snow on Mu Jingzhao's face melting, he no longer had time to care about the stains on his body.

Sure enough. Jiang Ning secretly praised his wit, this person was happy, and the silver didn't come naturally.

"That's it." Mu Jingzhao cleared his throat and raised his voice to speak, his voice clear, "No courtesy." You don't have to be restrained, just like usual. ”

The crowd fell silent instantly.

"Your Majesty, please inside!"

With Jiang Ning's words, the crowd automatically made way for Mu Jingzhao.

Under the leadership of Jiang Ning, Mu Jingzhao paced into the cold palace.

After the crowd, Zheliu and Lu Feng hurriedly followed.

"Why did the emperor come?"

Zheliu looked puzzled, she muttered to herself, and then, she suddenly thought of what Jiang Ning said yesterday.

"It turns out that this is the real rich person that Niangniang said."

Jiang Ning led Mu Jingzhao to the crowd and grabbed an empty bench and placed it beside Mu Jingzhao.

"Your Majesty, please be seated."

The smile on Mu Jingzhao's face gradually froze on his face, and his eyelids jumped as he looked at the short, bare bench beside him.

When did the true dragon emperor under this person and ten thousand people sit on such a low bench?

Seeing that Mu Jingzhao was slow to move, Jiang Ning lowered his voice and spoke, "Of course you have to do a full set of plays, Your Majesty, you are a virtuous gentleman who is sympathetic to his subordinates." ”

Mu Jingzhao glanced at her, and finally sat down without saying a word.

Mu Jingzhao is tall, and the whole person is aggrieved on a small wooden bench, looking pitiful and a little funny.

"Why do you keep holding this apple core?"

Mu Jingzhao looked up at her, his gaze was right on the bare apple core in Jiang Ning's hand.

There were brown spots of different shades on the surface of the apple core, which really didn't look very good.

"The sanitary environment of this cold palace must be maintained by the concubines, and not littering is the most basic."

"Why don't you ask someone to sweep it?"

"How much human and financial resources it costs to hire people can't solve the problem at the root."

Jiang Ning looked at him with a little more helplessness, obviously he was a knowledgeable emperor, why didn't he understand such a simple truth?

But soon, Jiang Ning's heart was clear.

Mu Jingzhao is such a high-ranking person, so he naturally doesn't have to worry about such a trivial matter.

He only needs to instruct the palace to take care of the hygiene, and understand that the palace is always clean and tidy.

Jiang Ning stopped talking to him, walked to the side and lost the apple core in his hand, preparing for the auction not long ago.

After Mu Jingzhao sat down, the palace people began to return to their positions one after another, and from time to time new palace people walked in with a smile, but they closed their mouths quietly when they saw the straight figure in front of the crowd.

Jiang Ning sat down in his chair and quietly waited for the audience to arrive.

At that time, Mu Jingzhao was still curled up on the small wooden bench with difficulty, and it was difficult to sit still.

Inexplicably, she felt a sigh of revenge in her heart.

Jiang Ning looked at the sky and knew in his heart that the time had come.

She took a big sip of the tea on the side, cleared her throat, and then decisively dropped the board.

"Yesterday, the palace has informed the origin of the peacock feather hairpin, as well as today's auction."

She picked up the peacock feather hairpin she had at hand, lifted the lid, and set it aside.

"I think everyone has the ideal price in mind." Jiang Ning's gaze swept over the money bags bulging on the sides of everyone in the palace, and the smile on his face was even worse.

"Without further ado, let's get started."

Jiang Ning decisively dropped the board, "The starting price, one or two silver." ”

However, at this moment, the palace people were under the pressure of Mu Jingzhao, and they no longer had the excitement and excitement of yesterday.

"The starting price, one or two silver." Jiang Ning repeated it again.

The workers looked at each other, but did not dare to bid.

"Ten taels." At the end of the crowd, Lu Feng answered in a low voice.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Lu Feng, who was stared at so much that his face turned red and he retracted his neck in embarrassment.

And Zhe Liu, when he faced Lu Feng's face, his face showed a little shyness.

Jiang Ning exhaled with relief and continued to speak with a smile on his face.

"Lu Feng, bid ten taels, is there anything higher?"
