Her words clearly put the fault of herself and Zhao Chengyuan on Mu Jin.
However, even so, Concubine Qi still said cheerfully, "This horse stumbles, and people stumble. If they fall, they will break. I don't think Hibiscus came here on purpose. Anyway, I can afford to wait. I'll just survive." ”
Concubine Qi has always been kind-hearted and does not criticize those under her too much. Moreover, Mujin is her military advisor, so she naturally has a different level of trust and tolerance towards Mujin than others.
Seeing that Concubine Qi was not angry at all, Cui Xi was so angry that she almost fell down.
Then she just secretly thought that since Concubine Qi was not angry like this, then if she told Concubine Qi that Zhao Chengyuan had helped her deal with the wound after Mu Jin was injured, Concubine Qi probably would not be angry either.
But what if she said that Mu Jin seduced Zhao Chengyuan?
Isn't she angry too? Can she accept a palace maid becoming Zhao Chengyuan's woman?
When she thought of this, Cui Xi only had some thoughts on provoking the relationship between Hibiscus and Concubine Qi, and some thoughts on testing Concubine Qi's acceptance of her son marrying a palace maid.
So she just whispered, "Your Highness also has a kind heart, but Miss Hibiscus seems to have some ulterior motives."
Hearing this, Concubine Qi looked at Cui Xi with dark and uncertain eyes.
Cui Xi is obviously not a smart person. Since Concubine Qi trusts Hibiscus so much, how could she not believe Hibiscus but trust her if she hadn't seen with her own eyes what Hibiscus had done that was untrue.
It's a pity that Cuixi didn't think of this, and she didn't know how much she weighed.
Concubine Qi lowered her eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"
Na Cuixi actually explained to Concubine Qi, "Didn't Miss Mujin accidentally break the medicine bowl just now? She accidentally cut her hand while handling the fragments. When the slave saw her, she actually helped her with her fingers. Wound."
Concubine Qi said coldly, "Isn't it normal to treat wounds? Even if you are injured, it doesn't matter if I help you bandage it."
Hearing Concubine Qi's words, Cui Xi was stunned for a moment, "My Lady? Do you know how she treated her wounds?"
"She actually helped her lick the blood drops on her fingers. This... this is too inappropriate." Cuixi then continued to say indignantly.
However, Concubine Qi just looked at Cui Xi with a cold look.
"so what?"
"Don't you think this is too much?" Cui Xi continued to ask cautiously.
Concubine Qi said in a normal manner, "What's wrong? If you want to bandage the wound, shouldn't you first remove the blood beads?"
After saying this, Concubine Qi only glanced at Cui Xi again, "Besides, since Cheng'er is already so old, I also want to have someone teach him some knowledge he needs to know. But in the past, because of his young age, I was afraid of those people." Mislead him, now it’s time for him to start a family and start a business, it’s time to know something.”
"His Majesty also said that at the farewell banquet for His Highness the Ninth Prince the day after tomorrow, not only His Highness the Ninth Prince will also be honored. Now that he has the palace, it is time to kiss him."
"In order to prevent him from not knowing anything about the bride in the future, I plan to choose someone who knows a lot about people to be his concubine first."
Hearing this, Cuixi was very excited for a moment.
She only felt that Concubine Qi was hinting at her.
But when she thought that Zhao Chengyuan might only have hibiscus in her heart, and that hibiscus was obviously more liked by the mother and son than herself, she secretly felt a little jealous in her heart.
Seeing her look, Concubine Qi knew that Cuixi was interested in her son, but she secretly framed Hibiscus.
Although she wanted to find a concubine for her son, she obviously didn't want her son's backyard to catch fire. Compared to Cui Xi, Hibiscus was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Although Mu Jin is a little older than Zhao Chengyuan, she is not the official wife, so what does it matter if she is older, not to mention she is smart and sensible.
Her son was too naive and simple, and she was afraid that he would cause something bad.
Especially after becoming a king, it is time to open a palace. Although there is no custom of letting princes go to their own fiefdoms, there are many temptations in the capital. The city is not as good as the palace, and no one strictly controls him. She is really afraid. My son has lost his mind.
Therefore, if Mu Jin and Zhao Chengyuan really have their hearts in mind, she is still willing to help them.
.
When she thought of this, Concubine Qi just said to Na Cuixi, "Okay, you can go down first."
However, after Na Cuixi became aware of Mu Jin's crisis, she felt that she could no longer waste time.
So she only said, "I wonder what your Majesty thinks of me?"
Concubine Qi didn't expect that she was just fishing casually, and the fish bit the hook on its own. She only said softly, "Of course you are good, you are young and beautiful. If you want to get married, you will be granted a title with the princes in the future." , there will also be a group of palace maids who will be released from the palace to get married. Although your age is not yet up, I can help you change your age and send you out."
Cui Xi couldn't muster up the courage to recommend herself to Concubine Qi, but what she didn't expect was what Concubine Qi said. For a moment, Cui Xi felt as if she had been slapped on the cheek.
And she didn't want to leave the palace. Realizing this, Cuixi immediately bowed and apologized to Concubine Qi.
"I'm sorry, Concubine Qi! This servant is just wishful thinking. I don't want to get married. I just want to stay with you. Please don't drive me away!" Cui Xi asked in a low voice.
Concubine Qi didn't know what she thought of, she just waved her hand and said, "Okay, you can go down."
Cuixi did not hear Concubine Qi's forgiveness. She felt uneasy and was about to give her own explanation.
However, Concubine Qi waved her hand to Cui Xi and said, "Okay, I'm tired, you can go down too."
After receiving Concubine Qi's words, Cuixi could only leave dejectedly.
After that, Concubine Qi closed her eyes as if she was really sleeping.
Until Mu Jin and Zhao Chengyuan came to the main hall at the same time, Zhao Chengyuan only happily stepped into the door and said, "Mother, the medicine is here."
Hearing this sound, Concubine Qi opened her eyes, and she glanced lazily at Zhao Chengyuan.
Not knowing what she was thinking of, Concubine Qi only glanced at Mu Jin again.
Hibiscus handed over the medicine.
Concubine Qi said, "Put the medicine aside to cool down first."
After hearing Concubine Qi's words, Hibiscus put the medicine aside.
Then Concubine Qi only said, "Hibiscus, in a few days it will be time for Chengyuan and the others to open a palace. At that time, the palace will definitely show mercy, and all the maids who have reached the age of two will be released."
Hearing this, Mu Jin's heart skipped a beat, because now she happened to be the person who met this requirement.
Seeing Mu Jin's expression, Concubine Qi suddenly chuckled, "I want you to help me count the total number of palace servants who are full of two in the Winter Palace. If there are suitable ones, send them out. In this way Come here to find a way for them to survive."
Seeing that Concubine Qi did not mention herself specifically, Mu Jin knew that Concubine Qi had no intention of sending her out.
So for a moment, she just breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely take care of this matter."
After hearing Hibiscus's assurance, Concubine Qi nodded.
Then after a moment, she said again, "In addition to those people who meet the age, there is another person who will also send them out of the palace."
Hearing Concubine Qi specifically mention that person, Mu Jin also became a little curious. After all, regarding matters in the Winter Palace, Concubine Qi would not specifically mention anyone's name as long as these people did not make any particularly big mistakes.
Naturally, she learned her generosity towards others from Concubine Yu Xian, but now that she specifically named one person, Mu Jin was a little surprised, "I wonder who the empress is planning to send out of the palace."
"Of course it's Cuixi." Concubine Qi said with a cold voice.
After hearing this, not to mention Hibiscus, even Zhao Chengyuan was surprised and said, "Mom, isn't Cuixi only eighteen years old? Why do you have to let Cuixi leave the palace?"
Hearing this, Concubine Qi only raised her eyes and said, "What? Are you reluctant to let go?"
Zhao Chengyuan immediately denied it and said, "That's not true. I'm just curious about why my mother would drive her away since she doesn't meet the conditions and hasn't made any big mistakes."
Concubine Qi just said quietly, "When she was in the room just now, she said a lot of unpleasant things about Hibiscus, and also said that Hibiscus seduces Yuan'er. How can I continue to arrange for such a person who randomly accuses others and gossips? What about by your side?"
"And I just tried her casually and asked for a concubine, and she immediately started offering herself up. I think she clearly wants to seduce Chengyuan."
I heard Concubine Qi
Hibiscus was not surprised by this. Who in this palace doesn't have some inappropriate thoughts about Zhao Chengyuan now.
After all, he is now thinner, more handsome, has a kind-hearted personality, and is still a prince.
As long as he doesn't have special requirements for political status, it's not surprising that most people have a favorable impression of him.
However, she also agreed with Concubine Qi that Cuixi could not stay with her.
But judging from how Concubine Qi dealt with Cui Xi, Mu Jin had to worry about herself. After all, she is also a palace maid. Although she has not taken the initiative to marry her son, she is treated so tenderly when facing her son. It is obviously unrealistic to say that Mu Jin has no idea at all.
But Concubine Qi's words obviously woke her up. A slave is a slave, and a prince is a prince.
No matter how much the prince likes him, if Concubine Qi is unwilling. Can Zhao Chengyuan go against his mother's wishes?
What's more, judging from Concubine Qi's treatment of Cui Xi.
If Concubine Qi cannot agree to let them be together. Then Zhao Chengyuan's prayer was nothing more than pushing himself into the pit of fire.
I am afraid that I will face the same ending as Cui Xi.
After all, compared to Cui Xi, regardless of her age or other aspects, she is more suitable to be released from the palace.
Hibiscus doesn't want to leave the palace. After all, she has no brothers and sisters, and there is a high probability that she will not be able to make decisions for herself after leaving the palace.
Especially when you get married, you don't have to serve others. Even then, you have to do more work than in the palace, and you don't have freedom.
On the contrary, if she can continue to serve a master like Concubine Qi, then this choice will be much more comfortable than other choices.
