Thinking of this, her eyes already burst out with hatred.
Why should she let others manipulate her? Why should she act aloof as if she had no choice?
She just wanted a look of surprise on her face, and wanted her to understand that she, Cui Xi, was not a slave who could do whatever she said.
Once she thought of this, her hatred and embarrassment drove her to make an irrational choice: "I choose the second option. I voluntarily join Ye Ting and become a lowly handyman."
Her eyes were like sharp knives directed towards Hibiscus, and she saw astonishment and surprise in Hibiscus's eyes as she wished.
Being able to make her show such an expression made her feel extremely happy for a moment.
However, in addition to shock, Hibiscus's eyes were filled with sadness and regret.
But why did she have such a look in her eyes? Cui Xi couldn't understand.
Mu Jin only whispered, "Think about it again and don't use your life as a bargaining chip to get angry with others. It's not worth it at all."
"I'm not angry! Besides, what will happen to me has nothing to do with you? When someone exposed her thoughts, Mu Jin immediately spoke angrily."
Mu Jin said calmly, "This really has nothing to do with me. Since you don't repent, maybe it's better to let you work as a hard labor. Maybe people will understand their mistakes only after they have suffered enough, but by then, even if you understand this The truth is, I'm afraid no one will give you another chance to change your mind. Go back and think about it yourself. Tell me the answer tomorrow. No matter what choice you make in the future, I will not interfere with you again. "
After saying this, Hibiscus said again, "It's getting late. You should go back and rest. We don't know what will happen tomorrow."
After listening to Mu Jin's words, Cui Xi remained silent. She couldn't understand the pain in Mu Jin's eyes, nor could she understand Mu Jin's various comforts to her.
For a moment, she couldn't help but start to wonder if there was something wrong behind the set of things she believed in in the past, and if there were other operating rules behind people's interests and calculations. Otherwise, why would Mu Jin comfort her like that? Her eyes seemed to be telling herself that her choices were all wrong.
After all, although these three choices have no good results, relatively speaking, the third choice is indeed the minimum price you have to pay.
And if this matter is such a big deal, it is impossible for Hibiscus to just expose it.
Once she figured this out, Cuixi's mind began to waver.
The next day, the sky was dimming, and Hibiscus had just gotten up.
She opened the door and took the copper basin, but she was about to go over to wash up. Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Cui Xi already standing at the door.
She glanced at Cui Xi quietly, knowing why she was here, she just said calmly, "Have you figured it out?"
Cui Xi just nodded quietly when she heard this, "I've already thought about it."
"Then what is your choice?" Hibiscus asked in a low voice.
"I decided to make the third choice." Although she was very unwilling to make this decision, Mu Jin still made the third choice directly.
Hibiscus glanced at her with relief, "This is the choice of a smart person."
Cui Xi just glared at Mu Jin, "Don't think I will be grateful to you!"
Mujin only said nonchalantly, "I didn't expect to get your gratitude for this. The reason why I made this choice is just because you and I are working together. I don't want to see your end become more and more tragic."
Hearing Mu Jin's words, Cui Xi only stared at Mu Jin for a long time. Then she said unwillingly, "I'm really unwilling, but I have to admit that you are indeed better than me. It's no wonder that Concubine Qi said at that time that she was the one who had been appointed No one had a choice, but I chose you alone. You are indeed better than me. I will also like you, and Concubine Qi also wants you to be her daughter-in-law."
Hearing Cui Xi's words, Mu Jin was stunned. "Concubine Qi wants me to be her daughter-in-law? Are you making a mistake?"
Cui Xi just looked at Mu Jin with determination and said, "I may not be as good as you in other matters, but my views on these matters will not be worse than yours! Although Concubine Qi denied me at the time, her son must choose a concubine. Yes, after all, after conferring the title of king and opening the palace, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the capital city outside is very interesting. Concubine Qi is also afraid that her son will be confused by the colorful world outside. So she needs
If a man can control his son, who else but you can be? "
"Jia Xia is really not a smart person. In order not to embarrass himself in front of the princess in the future, he really needs someone to teach him about many things."
"And besides you, who else can do this job?"
Cuixi's words seemed to open a new door for Hibiscus.
Mu Jin really never considered that Concubine Qi would have such arrangements and plans for her.
However, Cuixi's analysis is very reasonable.
A person like her is really not qualified to be a concubine or concubine, but if she is a concubine, it doesn't matter.
Mujin has never been a person who pursues one person for the rest of her life, and she is also very aware of the status gap between them. And even if she is just a concubine, it does not mean that she will always be a concubine. Although there is no hope of promotion, he is the son of Emperor Yong after all, and he does not have much ability. As long as he does not become a monster in this life, he will most likely be You can be perfect until you grow old.
But Concubine Qi is different. Although she holds the Phoenix Seal now, the more she holds the Phoenix Seal, the more dangerous it becomes.
From the first two women of Emperor Yong who took the phoenix seal, we can see that the women of Emperor Yong are not easy to be.
Queen Min is smart enough and powerful enough. I have been working diligently in the post-position for more than ten years, but what is the result? When the Chen family fell, the trees fell and the hozens scattered. Empress Min was deprived of her position as empress, and the people in Fengchen Palace were slaughtered and killed.
If Queen Min was defeated because she had too much of her own character, Wu rebelled against Emperor Yong, and the Chen family committed too many crimes.
Then Concubine Yuxian must have nothing else to say.
Her brother was Emperor Yong's lone minister and was absolutely loyal, and she herself was raising the son of Emperor Yong's previous wife, and had no children of her own for so many years.
She followed Queen Min's footsteps and got the Phoenix Seal, but her ending was not even as good as Queen Min's.
Queen Min at least had a life left, and could still enjoy family happiness in Prince Jin's Mansion.
But Concubine Yuxian ended her life with a white silk ribbon, and she died with great injustice.
I won’t mention the two women with the Phoenix Seal, but just talk about how many of the concubines who were favored by Emperor Yong had a good ending.
Have you not seen how much Concubine Zhang doted on the Sixth Palace at the beginning, but in the end, she ended up with a glass of poisoned wine, and even her son Zhao Ruian did not end well.
Concubine Qi, on the other hand, has no favor, no prominent family background, no smart temper, and smooth mind.
What can she do to keep sitting in this seat forever?
Although she is now Concubine Qi and still holds the Phoenix Seal, this does not mean that she can always hold the Phoenix Seal.
Therefore, although being a concubine of Qi's eldest palace has higher benefits, the risks are also greater.
If she is really a concubine, although she still has to leave the palace, she is going to the palace. Even if the person wants to find her, it should be impossible to find such a place.
Once she figured out what choice to make, she also understood a lot.
If you don't have to calculate others, who would want to keep calculating others?
Cuixi obviously saw Mujin's temptation, and she only said in a low voice, "Although Aunt Mujin has a good status and a high salary, but if you can follow me, I won't treat you badly. You are It’s okay to be together.”
Hibiscus only said, "I will think about it carefully."
Because most of the women in the palace got up early, I saw people getting up one after another. Hibiscus and Cuixi naturally began to devote themselves to the day's work.
The farewell banquet for His Highness Ninth Prince is getting closer and closer.
And Zhao Lang thought that if his father hadn't mourned, it would be difficult to see him again, so he also thought about seeing Queen Min for the last time. After all, he was the child raised by Queen Min no matter what.
Moreover, because the whereabouts of the emperor's brother were unknown, he was worried. Therefore, although the whole family was preparing for his departure, he still took some time off to find Empress Min and Princess Jin.
When he appeared at the door of Prince Jin's Mansion, not to mention the guards at the door, even Jiang Nianjiao, who heard that he was coming, put down the cup in his hand in surprise.
"What's he doing here?"
The old servant who came down below to report
He only said, "His Ninth Prince wants to come over and see the old lady."
After understanding the purpose of his visit, Jiang Nianjiao nodded.
"If someone comes, hurry up and invite him to the nunnery where his mother is." Jiang Nianjiao then took the initiative to say something.
After listening to Jiang Nianjiao's words, the others didn't say much. They quickly led the Ninth Prince to the wing where Queen Min was currently located.
But when the Ninth Prince entered the inner room and was about to talk to Queen Min, he never expected that a person would come out from behind the curtain, and that person was his brother whose life or death was unknown.
He looked at Zhao Yanzhen for a long time before saying, "Third brother? Why did you come back from the dead again? Am I not dreaming?"
"Why are you coming back from the dead? Why don't you have a good word in your mouth? What? Are you so looking forward to my death?" Zhao Yanzhen asked angrily.
"Third brother, how could I have such a meaning? I'm just surprised that you are in this room. Third brother, are you setting a trap for someone again?" Zhao Lang quickly realized it.
Zhao Yanzhen smiled nonchalantly and said, "What's the trap? You kid doesn't have a good word to say about your brother."
Zhao Lang only whispered, "Brother, you didn't plan to set up a trap. Why are you pretending to be dead? You don't want to come to my farewell party, right?"
"How is that possible? Even if I don't go to say goodbye to others, it's impossible for me not to say goodbye to you."
Then Zhao Yanzhen only said, "But someone did plot against me. I want you to do something for me to lure the murderer out of his hole."
"What do you want me to do?" Zhao Lang immediately asked cooperatively.
Zhao Yanzhen told Zhao Lang all his thoughts.
