Concubine Hua bravely opened her mouth, but no words came out.
She felt the eyes of everyone in the harem, staring directly at her body. She bent her knees slightly, but she felt as if her legs were stuck in the ground, and every move was extremely difficult.
Concubine Hua stood awkwardly in front of Ji Wanrong, making no move.
When Mo Jiecheng saw the scene in front of him, he frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Ji Wanrong's white side face, with a warning in his eyes.
Ji Wanrong naturally felt Mo Jiecheng's eyes, and also felt Concubine Hua Guifei's haste. She always had that faint smile on her face.
Sure enough, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.
She originally thought that the emperor would not agree to let Concubine Hua, who was loved by thousands of people, kowtow to her and apologize in front of everyone.
After all, if she did this, Concubine Hua would lose her majesty in front of everyone, and almost put her and Prince Duan's faces on the ground and step on them, which would also make her hate herself and Mo Jiecheng deeply.
At the same time, he hurt two sons and a beloved concubine.
But what she didn't expect was that even though the emperor had doted on Concubine Hua, he would also turn his back on her.
Mongolia surrendered to Beili for many days, and its power was entrenched in Beijing and became increasingly rampant.
The emperor agreed to the bet just now without hesitation. No matter who wins or loses in the bet just now, one party will lose face and the two parties will be at odds with each other.
The emperor could use the power of Mojie City in the army to check the power of Mongolia and King Duan, thereby stabilizing his own throne.
The royal family is ruthless, and all the emperor's favor is a bargaining chip to check and balance the world.
The son is like the father, and the same goes for Mojiecheng. Except for the one who cannot get what he wants deep down in his heart, everything else is his tool.
But if she insists on letting Concubine Hua kowtow, thus damaging the royal family's face and causing trouble to Mo Jie City, I'm afraid Mo Jie City will hate her even more.
Even though the emperor wanted her to do this, he would be very unhappy if she really accepted it and humiliated his noble concubine.
Now she is quiet and quiet, and is the most annoyed person wherever she goes.
But she will change everything, and eventually she will change from a chess piece at the mercy of others to the one who makes the move.
Ji Wanrong thought, her chest rose and fell uncontrollably, she glanced at Mo Jiecheng, and then looked at Concubine Hua Gui.
"The Imperial Concubine's words are serious, how can this junior endure the Imperial Concubine's kowtow?"
As soon as Ji Wanrong said these words, Concubine Hua reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Ji Wanrong somewhat arrogantly. Before she could finish breathing, she saw Ji Wanrong shaking his head and continuing to speak.
"However, the bet before Your Majesty cannot be ignored. The imperial concubine had gold under her knees, so she used five hundred taels of silver to break off the ring head and sent it to Prince Han's Mansion. Then she said sorry to me in front of everyone, and the kowtow was considered a thing of the past. ”
Not counting Concubine Hua's personal money, her annual salary is only three hundred taels.
All kowtows are empty. They are just apologies anyway. How can other things be valuable?
The day before yesterday, Zhao Runchu sent a letter saying that he had found out the price of the house.
One thousand five hundred taels. The house is located in the east of the capital, which is the most prosperous place in the capital. The houses are spacious and many of them can be used as operating rooms. It is close to Miaoshou Hall and is convenient for doing business.
Ji Wanrong likes this house very much. After all, when she gets divorced, she will live in the best place.
These five hundred taels plus the one hundred taels of gold she had saved were enough to buy this house.
"The people of Mongolia are simple and honest, and Concubine Hua is also cheerful, generous, and flexible. I'm afraid you can still fulfill this request of this junior, right?"
Ji Wanrong's words with a smile made the emperor look at her deeply again.
Concubine Hua gritted her teeth secretly. She was so domineering in the palace, always looking at people through her nostrils, and she didn't even say sorry to the queen.
But Ji Wanrong had said so, and she could only endure the dissatisfaction in her heart. In the eyes of everyone, she turned towards Ji Wanrong and said in a firm tone: "I misunderstood you about today's matter." .”
Ji Wanrong blinked, rubbed his fingers towards her, and made a small money gesture.
Concubine Hua's face was livid, and she muttered a few words on her lips: "Five hundred taels of silver, I will send it to Prince Han's Mansion."
Seeing the most difficult Concubine Hua in the palace, they had to apologize to Ji Wanrong and admit their mistakes. Everyone looked at Ji Wanrong with a hint of respect and even a hint of fear in their eyes.
Even the queen's eyes when she looked at Ji Wanrong were no longer as disdainful as before.
Ji Wanrong enjoyed this look, because no one would dare to provoke her.
Tonight had been delayed for so long that the sky even turned fish-belly white. After Concubine Hua said her apology, she felt that her face was shameless. She covered her chest weakly and told the emperor that she was not feeling well and wanted to return to the palace now.
The emperor himself also understood what Concubine Hua meant, and said with great consideration: "My beloved concubine is not feeling well, and I am also heartbroken. I will go back with you tonight."
A classic slap in the face and a sweet date, Ji Wanrong smiled softly.
Before the emperor left, he clearly caught the smile on Ji Wanrong's face. He paused slightly beside Ji Wanrong.
Ji Wanrong was a little startled by the emperor's sudden movement. She raised her head to look at him, and finally saw the frightening Tianyan in the legend.
The firelight burned the emperor's face, softening his eyes a little. He actually looked very similar to Mo Jiecheng, with deep eye sockets and three-dimensional facial features, but he had a unique aura about him.
As he gets older, he is more approachable when he is not angry.
But Ji Wanrong saw the decisive and sharpness hidden deep in his eyes.
"Princess Han Ji, I admire you very much today."
After the emperor left these words, he accompanied Concubine Hua and walked away without looking back.
"Humph, even if it's like this, don't forget to rob someone!" Concubine Li looked at Concubine Hua's leaving figure, hurriedly walked to Ji Wanrong's side, and held Ji Wanrong's hand.
Ji Wanrong smiled heartily at her: "Your Majesty is just giving her a slap in the face. How can she be as lovable as you?"
Concubine Li stretched out her hand and tapped her nose, and also smiled: "The little lucky star appointed by the Queen Mother~~You are my sweet date~~~"
Ji Wanrong was amused by her words, and a warmth rose in his tired heart.
From a distance, Mo Jiecheng saw the sincere smile on Ji Wanrong's face.
Not only Zhong Jinge and Zhao Runchu, but she and Concubine Li stood together, they both looked like a match made in heaven!
Mo Jiecheng suddenly felt that strange and unpredictable feeling in his heart.
He cleared his throat and strode to Concubine Li and Ji Wanrong, "It's late at night. The queen mother and aunt must be tired too, right?"
After Mo Jiecheng had nothing to say, he looked at the queen again.
"I have something to say while I'm here tonight."
"Since Ji Wanrong saved the emperor's grandmother, which is a great achievement, and the previous curse no longer exists, should the mother also revoke the previous punishment and postpone the son's acceptance of the concubine?"
"Give Ji Wanrong more time as a reward for this matter."
