However, Emperor Yong was obviously somewhat dissatisfied with Concubine Qi's talkativeness. He only glanced at Concubine Qi warningly, seeming to tell her not to mind her own business.
Concubine Qi naturally stopped talking.
She only whispered, "If nothing happens, I will leave."
Facing Concubine Qi's resignation, Emperor Yong just waved his hand.
After coming out of Lanxin Garden, when passing the main hall of the concubine Wang, the concubine was teasing a white-haired poodle among the flowers. The poodle, teased by the servant, was only chasing a feather caught on a golden pole. .
Seeing it stupidly chasing the useless thing, the concubine Wang who was watching just laughed with the other female family members.
However, the poodle obviously quickly realized that the feather was not food, so it could not chase it for a moment. It stopped chasing the feather. Instead, it just stuck out its butt and ran in the opposite direction.
As soon as they saw the lion dog running away, the others naturally chased the lion dog immediately, and the direction the lion dog ran towards was right next to Concubine Qi.
However, it only just ran to Concubine Qi, and the person chasing it quickly caught it.
The man just picked up the poodle, and then quickly whispered to Concubine Qi, "Your Majesty, forgive me."
After the dog was grabbed, he immediately bared his teeth and screamed in panic.
Concubine Qi simply said it was nothing.
However, Wang Concubine still followed her. She glanced at Concubine Qi, and then said, "Mother, this dog has no rules. Are you not scared?"
Concubine Qi shook her head.
But Wang Concubine still said to the slave beside her, "This damn dog is disobedient and needs to be well educated. If it disobeys again, kill it."
She said it so lightly that no one thought it was wrong.
After all, she is the owner of the dog, and the dog is not in the same position as her. If she wants to kill a dog, she can't just kill it.
When the chamberlain heard this, he didn't think it was wrong. He just responded.
Among the reactions present, only the dog seemed to know its fate. It struggled harder and barked harder.
However, she was just a puppy, so no matter how hard she struggled, it was all in vain.
Obviously this dog had brought them joy just now, but if it stopped pretending to be crazy and acted foolishly and failed to live up to their expectations, it would inevitably be killed.
For some reason, Concubine Qi felt a little unhappy when she looked at the dog.
Seeing that Concubine Qi didn't say a word, Concubine Wang had no choice but to call Concubine Qi a few more times, and then Concubine Qi came back to her senses. Seeing Concubine Qi come back to her senses, Concubine Wang also smiled and continued to apologize.
Until she was sure that Concubine Qi really didn't mean to blame herself, she only affectionately pulled Concubine Qi into her palace with her.
The royal concubine was so affectionate to her, naturally it was not because she respected her.
The two exchanged just a few words before the concubine Wang asked about Lan Xinyuan's situation.
"Sister, Lan Xinyuan didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
Concubine Qi is not someone who likes to gossip about others. What's more, although she is not smart, she has been with Concubine Yuxian for so long. She also knows that it is best for her to say less. Therefore, she just responded to Wang Concubine's temptation. Shake his head.
But the concubine Wang is the head of the palace, how could she not see the situation in this courtyard, so she just said, "Sister, you are so kind, so I still don't know what kind of virtue Lady Li is." , she is so arrogant now just relying on His Majesty's favor."
"But His Majesty's favor is always temporary. When Your Majesty gets tired of her, I wonder how long she can keep doing it. I'm afraid there will be people to take care of her."
After saying this, the concubine only sneered. She seemed to be speaking for Concubine Qi, but in fact, she was venting her dissatisfaction by speaking for Concubine Qi. .
She is not as patient as Concubine Qi, and she is the main concubine. Na Li often has conflicts with her, so Na Li is probably one of the people who hates Li Gui the most.
When she said this and spoke to Concubine Qi so affectionately, she actually wanted to win over Concubine Qi to deal with Li Guiren with her.
Although Concubine Qi is stupid, she cannot resist the fact that she has real power. If Concubine Qi's real power can be used to deal with Li Guiren, it would be a good method.
Therefore, Wang Concubine only tried to
Concubine Qi's heart was filled with anger, but it was a pity that Concubine Qi did not answer her words.
Concubine Wang was frustrated by Concubine Qi, so she naturally had no intention of talking to Concubine Qi anymore. Concubine Qi happened to say goodbye to her at this time.
Concubine Wang could only let Concubine Qi leave, but as soon as Concubine Qi left, Concubine Wang could only curse secretly, "Concubine Qi is really a bastard, even a little nobleman did something to her." Even though she is so powerful, she has no temper at all."
Seeing that her master was angry, the maid just said quickly, "My queen, how can she compare with you?"
However, Concubine Wang still said to the maid, "Shut up!"
Concubine Qi naturally didn't know how angry the concubine was after she left.
In fact, she didn't care about any of this. She was still only thinking about the noble lady at the moment.
I don’t know whether it was because of overthinking or something else, but Concubine Qi only had a night of random dreams that night. In her dream, she could see the smiling face of Lady Li, and the cold eyes of Emperor Yong, but she herself became that one. A poodle that was caught on hands waving its paws in vain. The servants whipped her with whips. She wanted to seek shelter, but was kicked away by Emperor Yong. At the same time, she only heard Emperor Yong, who was looking down on her from above, just tell the servants: Kill her!
Not knowing what would happen next, Concubine Qi only woke up completely from the nightmare.
When she woke up, the room was dimly lit, but her hands were intact.
Hibiscus beside the bed only asked with concern, "Mother, are you okay? But what kind of nightmare are you having?"
Concubine Qi then glanced at Mu Jin in a daze.
"I dreamed that I had become a wild dog. Anyone could beat me and anyone could drive me away. Your Majesty... Your Majesty, he even said he wanted to kill me."
Hearing this, Mu Jin immediately said, "Don't worry, Madam, this is just a dream, and the absurdity in the dream cannot be taken seriously."
After that, Hibiscus patted Concubine Qi's back gently to calm Concubine Qi's anger, and she just brought another glass of cold water for Concubine Qi to drink.
After Concubine Qi drank the cold water, she naturally relaxed a lot.
She told herself that this was just a baseless and absurd dream, but was it really baseless?
Concubine Qi took Mu Jin's hand and said, "Mu Jin, don't sleep on the couch outside. Come with me to the back room. No one knows what's going on here anyway."
Mu Jin knew that Concubine Qi was afraid, so she did not refuse.
After that, the two fell asleep again soon, and Concubine Qi had no more random dreams after that.
As time goes by, the end of the year is approaching step by step.
On New Year's Eve, it is the busiest time for women to show off their talents.
Preparing gifts for relatives to visit in the coming day and food for New Year's Eve, even the most pampered wives on weekdays have to go out to take care of some trivial matters.
Jiang Nianjiao is naturally no exception. Fortunately, as the new year is approaching, she has arranged for her servants to clean everything and prepare gifts.
Therefore, on New Year's Eve, the palace of Prince Jin was not too busy to leave.
Moreover, Emperor Yong specially arranged a family banquet in the palace this year, so on New Year's Eve, she went to the palace again with King Jin.
Jiang Nianjiao was naturally very happy to enter the palace. After all, now that Concubine Yuxian had gone, she could no longer walk around the palace as she usually did.
But there was clearly another hidden reason behind Coriander's death, so if she wanted to find out about it, she had to go to the palace right now.
Although New Year's Eve was a family banquet, only members of the clan came to attend, but the room was still full of people.
All kinds of delicacies in the banquet were brought out like running water. The dancers waved their sleeves, and the musicians played their instruments, which was quite lively.
Although Jiang Nianjiao wanted to take the opportunity to leave again, however, Emperor Yong had been presiding over the banquet, and their seats were arranged in the front. As soon as they left the banquet, they were the center of attention. Secondly, Zhao Yanzhen was keeping a close eye on him today.
Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't leave the banquet, but it didn't matter if she brought Lianying with her.
So in the middle of the banquet, she just found an excuse to let Lingying leave.
This girl Lianying was quite clever. After receiving Jiang Nianjiao's instructions, she quickly went to the Clothing Bureau.
At this time, in the main hall
It was a time of great singing and dancing, and it was very lively. However, the other palaces were deserted. The further you walked towards Huanyi Bureau, the fewer and fewer lights along the road became.
When Lianying arrived at the Huanyi Bureau, she saw that the door of the Huanyi Bureau was locked.
But she didn't plan to go in through the main entrance, so she soon arrived at the abandoned yard.
But when she just pushed the courtyard door open, what caught her eye was a dim light. Just when she was wondering if someone who shouldn't have come was in the courtyard, she heard that the woman holding the lamp was... He whispered, "Is it Lianying?"
As soon as the woman spoke, Lingying recognized her voice.
"Manman, why did you come out?" Lianying asked. .
The girl who was called Manman just said calmly, "If I didn't come out and wait for you, why would I wait for you to find me? Tonight, this room is full of my companions. Let them see you. I can What are you asking for?"
After listening to Manman's words, Lianying already had a countermeasure, but she still followed Manman's words and said, "Yes, Manman is still thoughtful."
Manman didn't take Lianying's advice, so she just said, "What happened to the letter I asked you to send me last time? But it was delivered to that person."
Lianying nodded quickly when she heard this, "It's been delivered, how about it? Do you still want me to deliver the letter?"
When Manman heard this, he sneered, "Why is there any need to send a letter? I've already made it clear."
Then she seemed to not want to mention it more, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, didn't you ask me to get a story from them about Aunt Coriander's accident that day? I'll tell you about my I really got some information."
Lianying heard this and quickly asked, "What's the news?"
