Chapter 73 Phoenix Wears Peony and Magpie Dengmei

Nie Yuansheng is Ji Shen's companion. He has been in and out of the palace since he was a child. The Empress Dowager Gao is very familiar with him, so even if the Empress Dowager Gao's face is not good, she is just a regular ceremony. Mu Biwei saw the Empress Dowager for the first time. At this moment, when she heard that Ji deeply mentioned herself, she took advantage of the situation and saluted formally: "The maidservant Mu Biwei wishes the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager the Empress Dowager Long Blessings and Jin'an!"

The Empress Dowager Gao seemed to have never heard of it. She let her kneel down and waved Ji Shen and Ji Xi. She pointed to the cubit-high embroidery screen and smiled faintly: "The mourning family talked to your concubine Wen about the magpie bird on it, and theai family said that it looked like a magpie, but your concubine Wen said that this was the phoenix in the phoenix peony embroidered in the Yang embroidery. You are young, and your eyes are much better than the two old bones of the mourning family. Can you help me see what it is?

Ji Shen saw that the Empress Dowager Gao was embarrased Mu Biwei in public, and his face was a little embarrassed. Before Ji Xi answered, Princess Wen had already pretended to be anxedly and said, "The Empress Dowager obviously knows that it must be Phoenix. She is deliberately playing tricks! Who doesn't know that His Majesty and the King of Guangling are both filial people, how can they not be to the Empress Dowager? After being so angry with her, the atmosphere suddenly became more lively, and Ji Shen stopped talking.

When Empress Dowager Gao heard the words, there was a trace of sadness in her eyes, but she smiled and said, "Speaking of which, aren't you also their mother's concubine? More than an embroidered screen, is it possible that the mourning family still wants to cheat you?

Princess Wen covered her mouth and smiled: "I'm not afraid of the Empress Dowager cheating. It's just that your majesty's palm is the universe, and the king of Guangling is full of poetry and books. They are all good men in Beiliang, but how can they know embroidery workers? If you want to see this, it's better to call Mu Qingyi over there.

Mu Biwei was not allowed to get up because of the great salute. Now she knelt on the ground and lowered her eyebrows to cover it. She was slightly surprised that Princess Wen seemed to have the intention to relieve herself? However, it was not surprising that Wen was only a concubine, and she was not Ji Shen's biological mother. Now the Empress Dowager Gao was angry with Ji Shen. Of course, if she was a smart person, she could only spare no effort to persuade her. Ji Shen personally brought herself here, which shows that she would pay attention to her, while the Empress Dowager Gao wanted to slap her in the face. Of course, Princess Wen will come from the middle.

Hearing what Princess Wen said, Empress Dowager Gao showed her boredom. Instead, Ji Xi was thinking about what King Anping entrusted. She was worried that if Empress Dowager Gao had no time to mention it because of the conflict between Mu Biwei and Ji Shen, she answered, "What Concubine Wen said is extremely true."

Ji Xi originally said this in order not to be angry with the Empress Dowager Gao, but he didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Gao's face was even worse after he said this. He sneered and said, "Erlang can think of it? Lord Tang County, can you taste the craftsmanship of the eldest daughter of your princess?

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Gao was angry, Ji Xi quickly pleaded guilty and said, "It's the child who is not thoughtful, but the child thinks that the yang is young at all, and besides, when learning embroidery, she also has to judge whether it is good or bad, so she has no other intention."

Princess Wen next to her also apologized and said, "I didn't think well. The Empress Dowager didn't care about me, but I implicated the King of Guangling."

Empress Dowager Gao saw that her favorite son and Princess Wen, who had always made friends, apologized one after another, so she became a little angry. Ji said faintly and said, "Is this the embroidery screen made by Mo Zuosi made by Weiyang? If you want to know why the magpie bird on it is, why don't you find a gift list and have a look?

Ji Shen is the emperor after all. He changed the topic like this. Although the Empress Dowager Gao didn't follow the intention of Princess Wen and the King of Guangling to ask Mu Biwei to get up, she couldn't help but order Mo Zuosi to get the gift list, but the atmosphere in the hall cooled down for a while.

Empress Wen intended to ease and said to the Empress Dowager with a smile, "The Empress Dowager will definitely lose to me this time!"

"Wen's mother may not win, and the child looks like a magpie climbing the plum." Ji Xi also knew Princess Wen's intention, Wen Yan said.

But Ji smiled deeply and said, "It's not surprising that Ayang is young and embroidered it. I think what Wen's mother said is reasonable and should belong to Phoenix." When he said this, he didn't look at the embroidery screen at all, and anyone could see that he was angry.

Mu Biwei felt a little relieved. In the end, Ji Shen had contradicted the empress dowager's record for Sun Gui's concubine. With him and the Summer Palace, although she was inevitably embarrassed to see the empress dowager, it was much easier.

How can the Empress Dowager Gao not hear the meaning of Ji Shen? Suddenly, she frowned, and Princess Wen was also a little surprised. She hurriedly said to the empress dowager, "After all, your majesty is kind, I'm afraid that if I lose alone, I can't step down."

Mu Biwei said that it is no wonder that this imperial concubine will be liked by the Empress Dowager Gao, and she is also the only imperial concubine in the harem of Emperor Ruizong who gave birth to a prince except Empress Dowager Gao. This agility alone is not what ordinary people can have. Ji Shen clearly felt that the Empress Dowager Gao was biased and did not ask herself to get up to sweep his face, so the Empress Dowager Gao excused to ignore herself on the pretext of arguing with Princess Wen to appreciate the embroidered screen of the head of Yiyang County to ignore herself. Ji Xi received Princess Wen's words just felt that the atmosphere in the hall was deadlocked and deliberately eased, and Ji Shen stood still standing in the Wen Tai On the concubine's side, it seems that she intends to confront the Empress Dowager Gao.

Even if the Empress Dowager Gao likes Princess Wen's agility and dexterity, she is not happy to see her own son stand on the side of others, even if it's not a big deal - whether Empress Dowager Gao is Ji Shen's biological mother and direct mother, and Ji Shen is still the emperor, that the Empress Dowager Gao knows that Ji Shen did this is just for If you fight with yourself, how can you not be angry with Princess Wen? Of course, Princess Wen was not so confused that she thought that Ji Shen regarded her mother as a commoner than her biological mother. When she said this, she lifted her weight lightly and said that she could not bear to see her lose too ugly. She faintly praised the Empress Dowager Gao. When Empress Dowager Gao heard the words, she loosened her eyebrows.

Mo Zuosi went to get the list in person. After turning back, the Empress Dowager Gao ordered her to read it in the hall, but he heard her say in a clear voice, "This is a piece of the owner of Weiyang County who personally entered the phoenix wearing a peony embroidery screen!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Wen had already laughed: "Is it time for the Empress Dowager to admit defeat now?"

"Is it really a phoenix wearing a peony?" Although the Empress Dowager Gao knew that Ji Shen was deliberately embarrassed after bringing Mu Biwei to Ganquan Palace, so she took the embroidery screen of the head of Aiyang County to talk about it, the dispute with Princess Wen was not true, which made her wonder, "Who taught Aiyang's embroidery? Or did it look wrong?"

Ji Shen heard the words and glanced at a few embroidered screens. Sure enough, it was a non-conventional magpie bird lying in a group of flowers and only looked at the flowers and plants. Although it was impossible for him to study embroidery workers, he was used to the thoughtfulness of the people around him in the palace, so that he could not even distinguish good or bad. The owner of Yiyang County After all, she is young and the eldest daughter of the clan. Her status is noble. There are always a group of people who like her embroidery. Ji Shen herself came like this, so she did not feel that the owner of Weiyang County was rude. However, now the embroidery screen is placed in front of her. Ji Shen felt a little ironic and said to Ji Xi, "Second brother, this embroidery screen is made by Weiyang. What's wrong with the embroidery?

Ji Xi was also a little embarrassed and said, "I only knew that she said she wanted to embroider something to express her feelings with her mother some time ago, but she didn't know what she wanted to embroider. She asked several times earlier, but she just refused to say it. She thought she wanted to tell her mother first, so she didn't embarrasss her." He also explained, "I didn't want to interfere alone when I was sent to the palace, but I was sent to the palace when the princess went into some food. I didn't expect her to remember to write a list."

Princess Wen said with a smile, "Maybe the county owner originally wanted to embroider a magpie to climb the plum, but he felt that it was more appropriate for the phoenix to wear peonies. Anyway, it was the county owner's filial piety to the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager Gao was a little depressed: "That's all, I should have looked at the gift list at the beginning, but I don't have to lose today!"

Ji Xi had the intention to do something for the king of Anping, so he said funnyly, "It's all because she is not good at embroidery, so she asked her mother to lose this time, but she doesn't know what the lottery is, so it's just a child's head?"

The Empress Dowager Gao loved him, because she just scolded him a few words for Mu Biwei, and she was quite reluctant to give up. At this time, she said anx, "It's just a joke with your mother's concubine Wen. She took a string of blue glazed beads to bet on the red wax beads she wore today. How can you return them for her?"

Princess Wen smiled and said, "This is the filial piety of the king of Guangling. The owner of Yiyang County embroidered the first screen and did not forget the empress dowager. Most of them also learned from the king of Guangling." He also said, "At this time, I know what your majesty will do to stand on my side. Since I have won, there is no reason to win, but the empress dowager's string of sky-green glazed beads is exactly 18 beads, all of which are the same. If it is dismantled, it is really a violent thing. Moreover, I am at least your majesty's elder, and I will not win the bet but not give it to your majesty. Dividends? Unexpectedly, if you win, you can only give it to your majesty. In this way, your majesty will honor the empress dowager again. The empress dowager guessed correctly and won my red wax beads. If you lose, your majesty also circled here and stopped the bet with the empress dowager.

She said so, and Empress Dowager Gao and Ji Shen couldn't help slowing down. The Empress Dowager Gao said anx: "You also know that you are their elders, and you are so pitiful in front of the younger generation, as if the mourning family has specially called them to help you!"

Princess Wen smiled and said, "Although the Empress Dowager didn't specially call me to rob me, the King of Guangling and His Majesty are both the Empress Dowager's own flesh and blood, and they have the same intention. Where can they tell the Empress Dowager?"

Although the Empress Dowager Gao was tired of Mu Biwei, she also smiled and said, "Isn't it because Silang is not here to help you?"

"Shilang is not here today. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will have to export things. The Empress Dowager forgot that Silang fought with His Majesty before?" Princess Wen's eyes flowed, and Yingying smiled and said, "Silang, most of them are gambling or losing. If he is here, I won't gamble with the Empress Dowager!"

The Empress Dowager Gao thought that her eyes were getting softer and softer in the past. She glanced at Mu Biwei and saw that she was deliberately ignored these times, but the corners of her eyes noticed that she was always kneeling upright and looked calm and not arrogant. She thought that she was not from a low background, and this calmness could not be raised by a small family.

Princess Wen has been with her for years. How could she not know that the Empress Dowager Gao's mind was shaking, so she quietly patted her hand and looked at Ji Shen, with the intention not to make a gap between mother and son for a blue suit.

"Are you the daughter of Mu Qi? Get up first." Although the Empress Dowager Gao was still a little unhappy, she opened her mouth after all.
