Chapter 81: The Queen's Duty
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him together, Jiang Ning immediately straightened his back, repeated in his heart, and silently recited several times that his identity was the prime minister's daughter.
She pursed her lips and smiled, neither humble nor arrogant in front of Liu Yue.
"I was busy pruning the flowers and branches today, and I didn't pay much attention to my appearance, but Your Majesty called me, so I came in a hurry, and I didn't have time to tidy up my appearance, so that my uncle smiled."
Mu Jingzhao hurriedly responded, "Concubine Ning's work and banquet these days can be described as unrestful, please understand." ”
Since Jiang Ning and Mu Jingzhao both said so, Liu Yue couldn't say anything more.
After all, others are also working hard for his own daughter, and it is also his problem that he is not inferior in words, and it is his problem to be reasonable and reasonable.
As a result, Liu Yue's face was a little unbearable.
But he didn't say much, just coughed lightly twice in embarrassment.
A gentle woman with good maintenance stepped forward slowly and walked to Liu Yue's side, "Our master is not good at words, please forgive me." ”
Jiang Ning smiled slightly and expressed understanding.
At this time, Shen Tong squeezed a pair of mung bean eyes, and asked a little abruptly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, is the queen still healthy?" ”
Mu Jingzhao was slightly stunned, "There is Lao's father-in-law who is concerned, and the queen is all healthy." ”
Shen Tong scolded with a smile, "Since this is the case, then blame my uncompetitive daughter for stealing and playing tricks, as a queen, she only knows how to be lazy, and it is difficult for Concubine Ning to work hard and sleep and eat because of this." ”
No matter how smart Jiang Ning was, he could understand Shen Tong's words.
In his words, he was ostensibly blaming Shen Qingrong for being ignorant, but in fact, he was criticizing Mu Jingzhao for not understanding etiquette.
The four words of the knife hidden in this smile are vividly displayed, and he is worthy of being a businessman.
But now, Jiang Ning didn't bother to defend anything, after all, this was a decision made by Mu Jingzhao, and she really couldn't say anything about it.
"A few days ago, the queen worked quite hard for me to deal with the poisoning of the harem, and I really couldn't bear to let the queen be so tired, so I asked Concubine Ning to do it for me."
As soon as this sentence came out, the faces of everyone present changed.
"Poisoning?" Shen Tong was shocked, and he no longer had the heart to ask Mu Jingzhao, "How can such a thing happen in this harem, please make sure the emperor protects himself." ”
Mu Jingzhao bowed his hand slightly, and no longer explained anything about this matter, "Thank you father-in-law for your concern." ”
Everyone was about to continue talking, when Li Zinian's sharp voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, the sedan chair is ready-"
Mu Jingzhao smiled gently, "In that case, then I will bother you to move the Imperial Garden." ”
After that, Mu Jingzhao took the lead in pulling Jiang Ning out of the palace and getting into the sedan chair, and went to the imperial garden alone first, while Jiang Ning returned to the cold palace to wash and prepare first.
Not to mention anything else, helping Jiang Ning dress up can be said to be a wholehearted effort, and he spent a lot of effort in it.
She took the hairpin and sent it to Jiang Ning's hair, and looked at Jiang Ning's face in the bronze mirror with a smile, "This is the first dinner party since Niangniang entered the palace, and it must be dazzling enough to overwhelm the crowd." ”
Hearing Zheliu's words, Jiang Ning pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly, "Who do you think this palace can overpower?" ”
Jiang Ning's perception of herself is very clear in her heart, in terms of appearance, she can't compare to Liu Jinfu's graceful appearance, and in terms of temperament, she can't compare to Shen Qingrong's grace and luxury.
Since no one can compare with you, it is better not to humiliate yourself at all.
When Zheliu heard such a sentence, the smile on his face froze, but he still forced himself to squeeze out a smile and said: "Niangniang, don't be presumptuous, Niangniang's skin is delicate and flawless, better than the newborn baby, coupled with extraordinary talent and unique favor, it is enough to win the first place in the harem." ”
Zheliu said as she embed a golden hairpin of a peony flower inlaid with gems into Jiang Ning's hair. The bun on the top of Jiang Ning's head, which was several circles bigger than her head, was inlaid with all kinds of pearls, and the large and small gems had already occupied the entire top of Jiang Ning's head, and there was almost no gap.
It makes her head look like an unpretentious jewel shelf.
This hairpin was finally embedded in the last slit above Jiang Ning's head, and her head shook from side to side, almost falling down.
The things in her head were almost so overwhelming that Jiang Ning couldn't raise her head, and she barely reached out to support the pearl cui on her head to keep it balanced, for fear that her neck would be broken if she was not careful.
"I'm talking girl." She looked at the jewels on her head and sighed to herself, "Are you sure there are so many things on my head, will anyone really notice my face?" ”
Zheliu, who was originally smiling, stiffened slightly when he saw Jiang Ning's face, and seemed to realize what the problem Jiang Ning was talking about.
"Moreover, this time the palace started to organize the concubine's birthday banquet, which has already aroused everyone's dissatisfaction, and now you are dressing up like this, you are slapping the queen in the face."
Zheliu's face suddenly changed, and he asked with some hesitation, "Then Niangniang, what should we do?" ”
"Picked them all." Jiang Ning's face showed a little pain, "It's enough to be the same as the usual dress of this palace." ”
At this point, Zheliu didn't dare to say much, but according to what Jiang Ning said, she took off the pearls and emeralds on her hair one by one, and only kept the original peacock feather hairpin.
"Niangniang, Prime Minister Jiang asks to see you." Outside the door, there was an announcement from the forbidden army stationed there, Jiang Ning instantly sat up straight, and patted Zheliu's hand, "You go and receive it." ”
Zheliu hurriedly responded and walked quickly towards the door.
Jiang Ning hurriedly stood up straight and walked to the door.
Jiang Qingyuan walked slowly with Zheliu and stood still in front of Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning raised his chin and motioned for Zheliu to leave.
It wasn't until Zheliu's figure completely disappeared into the courtyard that Jiang Qingyuan bowed down and saluted Jiang Ning, "See Concubine Ning." ”
Jiang Ning was instantly shocked, it was reasonable to be reasonable, it shouldn't be Jiang Qingyuan who saluted her.
She hurriedly helped Jiang Qingyuan up, "Can the Prime Minister talk to the palace?" ”
Jiang Qingyuan raised his eyes to look at her, sobbing his lips, the beard on his lips trembling slightly, "Yes." “
Jiang Ning took Jiang Qingyuan into the hall, and the two sat down at the table in the hall, she quietly mixed a cup of tea for Jiang Qingyuan and handed it to him.
Jiang Qingyuan held the teacup, lowered his eyes, and looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, after a long time, he slowly got up and bent down to Jiang Ning again, "Thank you Niangniang for saving your life." ”
Hearing what the other party said, Jiang Ning's heart suddenly became clear, it seems that the person targeted by this farce is indeed Jiang Qingyuan.
She hurriedly helped Jiang Qingyuan up, "My lord is serious, the grass people are struggling to survive in the palace, but it is just a helpless move for self-preservation, and the prime minister doesn't have to worry about it." ”
