Chapter 154 Although it is about chrysanthemum
When they arrived at Tairen Palace, the early concubines were talking in groups of smiles. When everyone saw Mo Ziyao go in, they got up to see the salute, and then sat down again. Mo Ziyao habitually glanced at the crowd and unexpectedly saw that Yi Zhaorong had also come, but Ya Zhaoyi, who had always arrived very early, was in the future.
Mo Ziyao didn't think too much. She knew that there would be many opportunities for them to meet in the future. I chose a remote seat and didn't want to sit down. As soon as I sat down, I saw Jing Chongyi and Li Chongyi get up and walk this way. They looked at the empty seats on both sides and said with a smile, "Princess Yao, can I sit next to you?"
"Sit down." Mo Ziyao said with a smile. I thought to myself, haven't these two usually been around Ya Zhaoyi? Why did they suddenly show their goodwill to themselves now? The corners of his eyes glanced at the position where Ya Zhaoyi often sat, and it suddenly became clear.
At this time, the two had already sat down beside her, left and right. Li Chongyi took Mo Ziyao's arm and said flatteringly, "Empress Yao, I heard that the emperor stayed in your Yuyao Palace yesterday! The concubines haven't even seen the emperor's face so far. The concubines really envy the mother.
Mo Ziyao felt that Li Chongyi's palm was hot and sticky, which made people very uncomfortable, so she withdrew her hand without a trace, smiled and did not say anything.
Jing Chongyi suddenly said, "Sister Li, it's useless for you to envy. You should know that the Empress Yao and the emperor have known each other for many years. Naturally, it's not something we can envy." As she spoke, her eyes flashed.
"That's, that's it." Li Chongyi's eyes turned gently, still full of smiles, but Mo Ziyao saw a faint disdain from the depths of her eyes.
Mo Ziyao never spoke. She looked at the two faintly and smiled, but she understood everything in her heart with their obscure words.
Several people still said indifferently. During this period, several concubines came to talk to them and say some congratulations and envy.
However, Mo Ziyao knew in her heart that if the emperor hadn't stayed in her Yuyao Palace these days, they would have seen that they would have been favored by the emperor, otherwise they would not have taken the initiative to approach them.
However, there are always people who are unwilling to be jealous, but on the surface, no one will be stupid enough to show it.
After a while, I saw a maid come in, looked at the concubine, lowered her head and said, "Little lords, ladies, the Empress Dowager said that she was very tired today, so she didn't see you. If you have anything to do, please come back. If you have nothing to do, stay and talk."
After saying that, the maid turned around and wanted to leave. Yi Zhaorong hurriedly got up and asked, "Is the Empress Dowager sick?" Hearing this, those who were sitting got up and looked at the maidservant worriedly.
The maid still lowered her head and whispered, "Mrs and little masters have a heart. The Empress Dowager is fine, but she is tired today. The maidservant left first. Mothers and little masters, please do as you please.
The maidservant retreated. Since the empress dowager was resting, the people naturally left one after another. Mo Ziyao took a look at Yi Zhaorong and saw that she only smiled faintly and did not look anxious to leave.
Mo Ziyao slowly got up and was ready to go back like everyone. She thought, "This Yi Zhaorong is really a powerful role. When she taught me a lesson in the Twilight Pavilion, I was just a failed show girl, and I could only let her knead it. But now I have jumped from a nameless beautiful girl to a virtuous concubine. When she sees me, she can still respectfully call me "Empress". Such patience is really something that people can do.
"Fortunately, only the concubine above the third grade needs to come to say hi to the Empress Dowager, otherwise Gu Qinger will respectfully to me every day and call me "Empress". I really dare not think of her being so arrogant, and I don't know how long she can stand it?"
As soon as Mo Ziyao stepped out, she heard Yi Zhaorong call: "Mother Yao."
Mo Ziyao turned around in surprise. Seeing her get up with a smile, she took the initiative to come over: "If you don't mind, let's go out with her."
Mo Ziyao stopped and was stunned, then smiled and did not answer, nor did she go out. Yi Zhaorong took a step forward and walked beside Mo Ziyao.
It's late autumn now. It rained last night, and the air was slightly humid and cold. On the corridor, various varieties of ** are planted in the flowerbeds on both sides. There is a little crystal clear dew on the petals and green leaves. Looking at it from a distance, there is also a unique scenery.
Yi Zhaorong, who had been walking quietly beside Mo Ziyao, suddenly stretched out his slender hand and gently brushed the full and delicate petals in his palm. Mo Ziyao also looked at her carelessly, and the two continued to walk forward. After two more steps, she frowned and stared at one that grew extraoroughly tall, obviously higher than the others, and the dazzling golden curtain chrysanthemum sighed, "Do you know this chrysanthemum?"
Mo Ziyao stopped, looked sideways, shook her head and said, "I have no research on **."
Yi Zhaorong didn't care and said to himself, "This chrysanthemum is called Huangrui. Look, its whole body is golden. The petals are full and layered surrounded by layers of pure golden stamens, like a noble princess who is praised by the stars. It's really precious. But it also has another name, called Independence Cold Autumn.
Mo Ziyao listened quietly, and Yi Zhaorong deliberately walked with her. She knew that she would never do this just to show off her profound ** knowledge in front of herself.
At this time, she suddenly went forward to cut the ** called 'Independent Cold Autumn' from the rhizome, put it in front of her nose and sniffed it, and said, "'Independent Cold Autumn'? It is indeed proud to stand among the flowers, and it is indeed particularly brilliant and eye-catching, but do you want to suppress the flowers? Humph, since it has a head, it will only end here." She suddenly looked at Mo Ziyao, grabbed the flower, crushed its petals fiercely with both hands, and threw the broken petals into the flowers.
Mo Ziyao was shocked when she saw it, "What does Yi Zhaorong mean by this? Don't you want to tell me that although I am favored by the emperor now, don't be too arrogant? Otherwise, will this flower be my end?
Mo Ziyao had a cold face and thought secretly in her heart, but Yi Zhaorong didn't seem to find her face and continued to say, "Do you still remember Qing Zhaoyi in the Muqing Pavilion?"
"Qing Zhaoyi? Could it be..." Mo Ziyao took a few steps forward and suddenly turned around and stared at her eyes and said, "I don't like to play riddles. If you have anything to say, just say."
"hehe." She smiled twice and said, "Don't you know that Gu Meiren, who was added to Zhaoyi, was beaten into the cold palace by the emperor only three hours after she was promoted and became the first person in the cold palace. It's really pitiful and lamentable!"
"What?" Mo Ziyao was shocked. She really didn't know that Qinger was beaten into the cold palace. Zheng was lucky with Gu Qinger yesterday. How could she be put into the cold palace in a blink of an eye? He is such a ruthless man!"
Although she didn't know how Gu Qinger offended him, when she thought that night in that unknown room, the maidservant who wanted to seduce him would end up much worse than her. Entering the cold palace? She should still be grateful.
Yi Zhaorong took a step forward and was always in line with Mo Ziyao. Madam, my concubine and many sisters have heard her tell us about your birth.
Mo Ziyao glanced at her and continued to walk forward expressionlessly. Yi Zhaorong quickly followed and continued, "Mother, don't you want to listen? Or..."
"It's still as she said, right?" Mo Ziyao caught her words and suddenly smiled, "Yi Zhaorong, I really don't know whether you are smart or stupid."
At this time, Mo Ziyao's eyes met Yi Zhaorong's eyes and suddenly found that a beam of light in her eyes suddenly disappeared. But she thought she didn't see it and said to herself, "Yi Zhaorong, your mind is really meticulous! First, you want to get rid of Gu Qinger with my hand. After all, you still have doubts about her, but you want to borrow my hand. Second, by the way, let's see if my origin is really like what Xiaoxiao said.
Mo Ziyao didn't believe that Gu Qinger told her her identity in person. Qing'er is not such a stupid person. If she clearly tells everyone her identity, doesn't it mean that her family is fake and confused in this draft? This contempt for the imperial prestige is going to destroy the nine clans. Can she not even think of this? Even if she wants to say it, she will definitely not use her own mouth.
Mo Ziyao stopped looking at her and slowly smiled and said, "I still remember the last time I was in the Royal Garden, you, Yi Zhaorong mentioned the birth of this palace. Can you know all this? I think Xiaoxiao told you?"
"Mother..." Yi Zhaorong wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mo Ziyao: "I know you want to verify your conjecture. Ha ha, isn't it the person who was born as a slave? Is this palace really like what you said? What, do you think this palace is low? Do you think you have grasped the lifeline of this palace from now on? It's ridiculous. Even the emperor doesn't mind the origin of my palace. You are not as good as my concubines. Why do you look down on me?
After Mo Ziyao finished speaking, she began to consciously pay attention to Yi Zhaorong's face. Her eyes flashed, and her expression was a little angry, but it disappeared in an instant.
She smiled and said, "Your mother misunderstood. When I first arrived in the palace, the concubine was inevitably a little arrogant, so she underestimated the Empress. Didn't you still make a joke for this? However, it was all the concubine who was ignorant before, and asked the Empress to ignore the villain. Now who doesn't know that the emperor loves Yaofei, but I'm afraid of the latter position..."
"Yi Zhaorong..." Seeing that her words became more and more ridiculous, Mo Ziyao quickly scolded. However, as she expected, Yi Zhaorong did have a desire to detect himself. Her methods must be much smarter than she thought, and now she has just shown the tip of the iceberg.
Yi Zhaorong is a smart person. He knows that at this time, it is better to restrain him.
"Mother, my concubine wants to visit Qing Zhaoyi in the cold palace later. Would you like to go with me?" Yi Zhaorong suddenly changed the topic.
What does her words mean? She is showing her goodwill to Mo Ziyao. Since she has shown her murderous intention to Gu Qinger, and since she can't encourage Mo Ziyao not to do it, she can only do it herself.
After listening to this, Mo Ziyao smiled faintly: "I have something else to do, so I won't go. However, I would like to advise you that although it is a tiger that fell to Pingyang, it is still not a cat. Don't bully people too much."
"Yes, mother, just..." She suddenly deliberately lowered her voice, "Just why does the mother want to let her go?"
