Chapter 211 211, Fighting with concubines in the harem

Concubine Liang glanced at the side and smiled slightly: "Oh, it's really a good thing... Prince Jingbei, the third child, you are quite capable as a little princess, you can even find out the Queen's preferences...

…Awesome, awesome.”

This compliment is a bit meaningful.

What does it mean that a person from the world of martial arts can do this?

After listening to this, a thoughtful person will think: This little princess may seem innocent, but in fact she is very scheming. She is a ruthless character.

Mu Yunjiang couldn't let others leave such an impression, so he hurriedly emphasized:

"This is not pleading. This is what Yu Ruge, the lord of Yucheng, said."

Yu Ruge became famous in the frontier fortress, and the nobles in the capital had heard of his name.

After hearing this, the queen also became curious. She raised her sleeves, sat upright, and asked, "What did Lord Jade City say about me?"

Mu Yunjiang hurriedly replied: "After returning to his mother, Lord Yucheng also liked painting. He once bought a painting by his mother at a high price, which is the famous "Goose Returning". He has always kept the painting in the calligraphy and painting pavilion. Yucheng

The owner also collected famous paintings from past dynasties, and many of them were hung in the entire attic.

"One day, when my son was chatting with the Lord of Jade City, he showed me his mother's masterpieces. After talking like this, my son memorized it...

"Ever since I knew that I was going to marry King Jingbei, I asked Lord Yucheng to go to Yingsiji and get this good painting set to show my heart..."

Speaking of this, Mu Yunjiang paused for a moment, and then said with emphasis on each word: "So, it is the Queen's calligraphy and painting that dominates the world, otherwise how could I know this?"

By the way, I praised the person again.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this little mouth is really sweet."

The good concubine sighed.

This good concubine was the mother-in-law of Xiao Qiling. She was of ordinary origin, but because she gave birth to a son who was quite talented in water conservancy, she gained the emperor's attention.

However, Xiao Qiling was also affected to some extent because someone used his hands to buy and sell arms.

The good concubine is not a bad person. She just said that, probably because Xiao Qiyu's investigation of the case has affected their mother and son.

The queen was very happy to be praised in this way. After all, Yu Ruge was considered a prodigy in the world. Her paintings were liked by the prodigy, so her face naturally glowed.

"Okay, don't praise people in front of the Empress Dowager. Get up, this is the good concubine, go and offer a cup of tea..."

Xiao Qiyu hurriedly took Mu Yunjiang to kowtow to this good concubine: "I pay my respects to the good concubine."

After kowtowing, Mu Yunjiang served tea.

Liang Fei had a very upright temperament and said with a smile: "Little Princess, you have prepared good things for the Empress Dowager and the Empress, but are there any small gifts for our other harem sisters?"

Mu Yunjiang smiled slightly and said: "Of course there are, but I don't know the preferences of other people in the palace, so I only prepared some moisturizing creams, milks, etc. that are liked by women.

"There are only two types in total: Jiuhua Jade Dew Cream and Passion Milk. These are all made from fresh flowers and plants. The body lotion can prevent skin from drying out, and the Nine Flowers Jade Dew Cream has the effect of removing wrinkles and whitening..."

Liang Fei was quite surprised when she heard this, "Hey, isn't that the good stuff that Yurongzhai only produces a few bottles of every year? Where did you get so many?"

Three chamberlains came forward, each holding several pairs in their hands. The subtle fragrance floated over, which was very pleasant.

Liang Fei hurriedly took it to take a look and smell it. Yes, it smelled like that. She was pleasantly surprised. Yurongzhai's various rouges and gouache were in short supply. All the noble ladies in the capital liked the things there.

Especially the Nine-Flower Jade Dew Cream and the Passion-Fragrance Cream. Only thirty or forty pieces are produced a year. Each piece only has a little bit, and you have to make a reservation to get one or two bottles. Once they are sold out, it will cost tens of thousands of dollars.

It's hard to find a bottle of gold.

Liang Fei's skin is very susceptible to allergies. She has put a lot of effort into maintaining it over the years. In the past few years, she has been using Yurongzhai's products, which are very useful. Unfortunately, she can only save them.

Use it carefully, otherwise one bottle won't last a whole winter.

"Hui Liangfei, I know the boss of Yurongzhai, so I brought a few copies over..."

In fact, she made this by herself. When she had nothing to do, she asked Yurongzhai to help sell it, and then she became famous. The boss of Yurongzhai even opened the store in Tiandu just to make money.

They all have money from rich women!

"Yeah, I like this gift."

The good concubine happily collected the things: "However, I can't reward you with anything good, so I will give you a guqin!"

Liangfei was good at playing the guqin. After becoming a palace concubine, her biggest interest was collecting guqins. It is said that she had several unique guqins in her hands.

Mu Yunjiang said quickly: "Concubine Xie Liang, it just so happens that I got your good piano. I will learn the piano skills from the prince later..."

"Ah, you don't know how to play the piano?" Liang Fei asked casually.

"I know how to do it, but compared to the nobles in the palace, my humble skills will be embarrassing."

Mu Yunjiang said it extremely modestly.

"It's okay. There will be a long time to come. If you want to learn, you can come to the palace and learn from me. I can teach you!"

Liang Fei thinks this child is pretty good.

Unlike the concubines of other princes, some are dull, some are squeamish, and some have no talent, but have high aspirations. The one in front of me is very measured when dealing with her superiors, neither arrogant nor humble. She gets along with others.

, extremely kind.

"Then I'd like to thank the good concubine first."

Mu Yunjiang was blessed again and again, and couldn't fault anything in terms of etiquette.

Immediately afterwards, they paid their respects to Concubine Shu.

This concubine Shu was the mother-in-law of Xiao Qiyan. She had a good family background. Unfortunately, she gave birth to a son who was competitive, reckless, and not good at studying. Emperor Liang was very unhappy about it.

But when she was young, Concubine Shu was quite popular with the emperor, because she was the only concubine among the concubines in the harem who knew martial arts, and her martial arts was excellent. She was born in a general family, and she was originally an arrogant woman with a strong temper.

After Mu Yunjiang served her tea, Concubine Shu accepted the gift but threw it away casually. As for her, she didn't like the watery and pink ones, she was only interested in martial arts.

But Mu Yunjiang didn't deliberately try to please her in this aspect.

Concubine Shu waited for her to finish serving tea, then she stood up and said, "I heard that the little princess can also wield a sword. The weather is nice today. How about the little princess and I have a little fun to entertain everyone present?"

Mu Yunjiang was startled at first, then smiled slightly, and declined on the spot:

"Go back to Concubine Shu, let's wait for another day. Yun Jiang fought a few moves with the prince on a whim this morning. Because he was weak, he fell and sprained his foot. I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it with Concubine Shu.

If I fall on my back in front of all the elders, it will be very embarrassing..."

Fake.

She didn't want to play swordsmanship with others in the palace. The sword had no eyes. If it hurt the noble, she would have to carry it around without food.

In particular, this concubine Shu was not a good person. She had assassinated Xiao Qiyu in her previous life. In order to help her son, her methods were not very honorable.

"Okay, the third daughter-in-law is here to serve tea today. Concubine Shu, please don't fight and kill in front of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager is worshiping the Buddha and will not see such a scene..."

The queen reminded loudly.

Concubine Shu smiled faintly, feeling a little unhappy when she saw the Empress Dowager staring at her, and said hurriedly: "Okay, I will fight with you in the future..."

Immediately afterwards, the newlyweds paid tea to Concubine Xian, who was the mother-concubine of the eighth prince Xiao Qizhe. The prince was only ten years old now, and the child was adopted by Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian had given birth to a son.

, died young, and then became ill.

The imperial doctor said that Concubine Xian was suffering from excessive thoughts about her son.

Coincidentally, at that time, the biological mother of the eighth prince in the palace passed away, and the child was adopted into her name.

This Concubine Xian is also the youngest among these concubines, only twenty-seven or seventy-eight years old, and she is dressed very young and beautiful.

When Mu Yunjiang was saluting her, she accidentally saw Concubine Xian glance at Xiao Qiyu's face, and there was a hint of jealousy flashing through her eyes.

When she finished kowtowing and served the tea, Concubine Xian accidentally spilled the tea on the hem of Mu Yun Jiang's skirt:

"Ah, I'm sorry, the tea was too hot. I didn't hold it tightly. It stained the little princess's dress. I'm really sorry..."

Mu Yunjiang was sure of one thing, she did it on purpose.

If Xiao Qiyu hadn't helped her, all the tea would have spilled on her hand...

You know, this tea has just been brewed and is very hot. If you spill it on your hands, it will definitely burn a large area.

Why is she doing this??

Mu Yunjiang couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart.

"It's okay, it's okay. Just change into a dress later."

Mu Yunjiang said with a smile.

"How about this? Concubine De didn't come here today. The little princess has finished her ceremony here. Wait a minute and go to the palace to sit for a while, change into a dress, and then go see Concubine De!

Ningde Palace and my Qingliang Palace are not far apart."

Concubine De is the first of the four concubines and must be visited.

"That's fine."

Mu Yunjiang nodded in agreement.

But when he turned around, he saw Xiao Qiyu's eyes dimmed - his expression looked extremely subtle.

When entering the palace to pay respects, everyone thought that King Jingbei's bride would definitely make a fool of herself. As a result, her response was a classic.
