imperial psychologist

Chapter 157 The Golden Cage
The women were stunned there, but they didn't move.

Before Zheng Shu left, she had ordered that no matter what happened here, it must be suppressed first.Not to mention that the imperial concubine was in a great mood today, she had already fainted once from grief, even in the past, Zheng Shu would never allow the servants to send any annoying things to the imperial concubine, lest the empress would become more worried and depressed.

Everyone was in a dilemma and stalemate for a moment.The women couldn't help but glanced at Bai Ling again, seeing that her face was still kind and not angry at all, and she was even more hesitant to make up her mind.

So for a long while, no one spoke, and no one dared to act rashly.

Jin Zhi still looked as usual, but the expressions of the maids of the Chuxiu Palace who stood behind Jin Zhi were obviously a little tense - Concubine Qu has always been the one who calms things down, so it's okay for them to make a fuss here when the concubine is away. scruples.

Not to mention that the palace people of Chengqian Palace didn't have the guts to make the imperial concubine uncomfortable with these trivial matters, even if these people really went to tell the imperial concubine, people like Qu's Bodhisattva must be lenient. There are no consequences at all.

But if it reaches the ears of Concubine Ning of Xianfu Palace, it will be really different...

Still smiling, Jin Zhi stepped forward and said, "What is Bai Siyao talking about? No one is causing trouble? It's just that some blind servants who don't know how to handle things interrupted a good meeting. The ending—"

Bai Ling took a step back, as if he was afraid that Jin Zhi would touch his clothes, "Then please ask sister Jin Zhi to go back to Lin Jieyu to receive the punishment. We Chengqian Palace will not train servants of Chuxiu Palace."

A few young palace servants on the side burst out laughing. The women frowned and raised their hands as if to hit them, but they just stared and pushed these ignorant young palace servants away, and then raised their eyebrows proudly. Standing behind Bai Ling, he looked at the golden branch in front of him as if reading a joke.

Only then did Jin Zhi's face burn a little bit, but fortunately, the night was thick, so others couldn't see anything.

She took a deep breath, and still shook a bundle covered with scarlet flannelette in her hand with a half-smile, as if she hadn't heard Bo Ling's teasing just now, she took a step forward with full eyes .

"Hey? Why is Bai Siyao so angry? The old saying goes that you don't hit a smiling face with your hand. Today we are giving you a gift. Isn't Bai Siyao tolerant?"

Bo Ling also laughed, as if he couldn't understand the steps in Jin Zhi's words, he just said coldly, "What can't be stretched out, this kind of petty tricks are so boring. If you want to make trouble, then we will Just make a fuss at the top, make a big fuss, and pierce the sky, so that you and your master can know what kind of person I am."

These words made Jin Zhi's heart tremble slightly, only felt that Bo Ling's mouth in front of him was cold-hearted, and his words were full of thorns.She snorted softly, "What are you talking about...how could we not know about it. Baisi Yao is very powerful, and the news that he went to the Prison of Rituals to block the door if he disagreed with him today, I'm afraid it has already spread all over the palace. -"

Qinglian frowned, and tugged on Rouge's sleeve beside her, "What's blocking the door?"

Yan Zhi watched the confrontation between Bo Ling and Jin Zhi in front of her with bated breath, she had no time to tell Qing Lian about this, she impatiently pulled her sleeve out of Qing Lian's hand, frowned and gave a "shh".

Qinglian had no choice but to shut up, and continued to listen and watch.

"...Anyway, I'm here tonight to deliver a message to you for our mother, I—"

Before Jin Zhi could finish speaking, Bo Ling interrupted her again, "Does your message include the sarcasm just now?"

"...?"

"I remember every word you yelled and scolded outside the door just now." Bo Ling said softly, "If Lin Jieyu asked you to yell at me, it can be regarded as the master's scolding. If the imperial concubine doesn't care, we don't care either. ;If not... Tomorrow I will write a note and pass it to the Internal Service Bureau to investigate your crime of breaking into Chengqian Palace tonight and making rude words."

Only now did Jin Zhi's face turn pale slightly, she bit her lip, and the slightest bit of smile disappeared from her face.

"Is that what your master ordered you to pass on?" Bai Ling suddenly raised his voice, "Say it."

After a moment of silence, Jin Zhi clenched his fists, "I said everything, it's none of our mother's business. If you want to sue, do you want me to be scared by a little girl like you—"

"Just what you just said, I also want to sue." Bai Ling looked at Jin Zhi and the maids behind her, "I am appointed by the emperor to be the pharmacist of the Chengqian palace, not a little girl. I can't even handle it." Qing, you better stop doing it in the palace, shame on you."

This is really tearing the face off...

The mothers-in-law felt refreshed on the one hand, but also faintly worried on the other.

Basically, every time Jin Zhi said something, Bo Ling would reply back, and the moves were so choking that people's lungs would smoke-God knows how much trouble she will have with Lin Jieyu now.

The golden branch was trembling with anger, but she couldn't attack. The tense expression on her face was almost distorted. She held back her anger, raised the corners of her mouth, and didn't say anything more. She handed the bundle in her arms to Bai Ling with both hands. He said without a word, "This is our mother's thank you gift, please accept Bai Siyao."

"Thank me for what?" Berlin asked.

"Xie Siyao promised the gift of healing in the future." Jin Zhi said with a twisted face.

As she said that, she had already untied the thread tied to one end of the burden with one hand, only to hear a "snap -" and the scarlet flannelette was shaken off, revealing the contents inside.

It was a golden birdcage with complicated patterns and looked extremely delicate. The cage wires were round and slender, and they were neatly perpendicular to the horizontal circle like the back of a fish. The gold-shaped plate, under the dim light of the lanterns on both sides, reflects a warm luster.

The women around looked at it for a while, whispered to each other, and their faces became ugly.

"It's just an ordinary empty bird cage." Qinglian said in a low voice, and she tugged on Yanzhi's sleeve again, "My grandfather used to play with starlings and thrushes in this kind of carved cage...how come everyone It doesn't look like you're very happy..."

Rouge's gaze was still fixed on Bai Ling and Jin Zhi not far away, she snorted softly, leaned towards Qing Lian who was beside her with a teasing smile, and said in a low voice, "This kind of cage is called 'Little Five Circles' in jargon. Is there a patio on top of the cage?"

"Hmm..." Qinglian tried her best to stare at the birdcage in Jin Zhi's hand for a while, "This, I can't see clearly at all."

"You can still dig your eyes out. You don't care about things anyway." Yanzhi rolled her eyes and whispered, "The patio is only the size of a copper plate, and there are no perches in the cage, only perches at the bottom of the cage." The Phoenix Terrace, which has been arched for a month and a half... do you know what kind of bird this kind of cage is used for?"

Qinglian shook her head obediently.

"This kind of cage is a lark cage, because larks are ground-dwelling birds." Yanzhi smiled faintly, with a bit of fun in his eyes, "The Phoenix Terrace is for larks to dance and sing standing up for people to watch." The place for appreciation, the other side sent this thing, clearly to humiliate people."
