Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 44
In the regular jolting of the chariot, Baili Jiuge was brought to the palace garden. The maidservants who came to introduce her were all carved in jade, but looked at her with coldness and contempt.Baili Jiuge also knew that he became Zhou Guo's concubine overnight, and this position would inevitably suffer contempt.

But unexpectedly, the palace maid did not take her to meet Emperor Zhaoyi, but told her clearly—please go to the Chonghua Hall to see the empress.

Baili Jiuge was slightly suspicious, what did Empress Yuan ask her for?
I can't help but think about the day of the palace banquet. Empress Yuan's appearance was magnificent, her dignity was inviolable, her solemn posture, her conversation and laughter were as calm as a mirror lake, but there was an awe-inspiring wind and snow between her brows.

All the big businessmen knew that Empress Na Yuan was an imperial concubine married from the Northern Wei Dynasty. Half of the Northern Wei Dynasty was located in the vast grasslands of the northern part of the country, and its people also had a lot of pride in the northern part of the country.

Just for this, Baili Jiuge admired it, and didn't worry about what Empress Yuan was looking for her at all.

Bypassing [-] detours, walking through yellow stone slabs, wooden arch bridges, pavilions, waterside pavilions, flowers and trees, and finally arrived at the majestic and solemn Chonghua Hall.

The roof ridge of the hall is thick in color and distinct in texture. Immortal guides and kissing beasts of various colors are lined up on the raised flying horns, turning the bright sky into two halves.

Baili Jiuge stepped into the hall under the guidance of the maidservants. The bronze incense burners on both sides were burning the water anxi and galangal commonly used by the royal family in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The room was filled with a faint fragrance, which also wrapped the person standing in the middle of the Chonghua Hall in a hazy majesty.

This is the first time that Baili Jiuge has seen Empress Yuan so closely.

She still bowed her hands and said with a big smile: "Jiu Ge has seen the empress!"

Empress Yuan's gaze was fixed on the fist she was holding, her brows were slowly frowned, but she remained silent.

Baili Jiuge laughed lightly, thinking that Empress Yuan, like Yin Haochen, could not be used to doing men's salutes, but unexpectedly, Empress Yuan suddenly praised: "You are free-spirited, and you are not bound by red tape. You are right."

Baili Jiuge was slightly stunned, and strode up to meet him in a flash, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your understanding, empress, my habit has been criticized by many people before, and I don't think empress will mind at all!"

Empress Yuan said: "Of course I don't mind. In the eyes of Bengong, you are so straight-forward, I don't know how much better than those who beat around the bush and play tricks on every occasion." Give a seat.

Sitting on a red sandalwood chair covered with fur cushions, Baili Jiuge smiled sweetly, seeing the empress of Yuan Dynasty with a dignified appearance, her facial features carved with an awe-inspiring uprightness, her thick black hair coiled into a smoky hibiscus bun decorated with Three dignified and elegant Jingfu long cotton hairpins.On the tail of the hairpin, the jade tassels with ganoderma lucidum and bamboo pattern fall down to the shoulders, blending with the solemn and luxurious palace dress with gold and silver silk phoenix embroidered pattern and complementing each other.

I couldn't help admiring from the bottom of my heart, and blurted out: "The empress is so beautiful!"

Empress Yuan smiled kindly, and suddenly asked: "Do you know why I called you here?"

"I also ask the empress to give me advice." She cupped her hands.

Neither of them was playing around the clock, so they said it straight: "This palace just severely punished Princess Ruyi, punished her to publicly revise the book to apologize to the people in the imperial capital, and go to the prison to meditate for seven days. As for the name who died at her hand Merchant, I have already arranged for a generous funeral and compensation. Do you think this arrangement of this palace is appropriate?"

Baili Jiuge was a little surprised, no wonder he didn't see any troubles caused by Yin Ruyi all the way into the palace, it turned out that she was cleaned up by Empress Yuan.

Thinking of the scene of Yin Ruyi being dragged into prison crying for her father and mother, Baili Jiuge sneered, and said after a while: "If I were the empress empress, I would punish Yin Ruyi severely. It's abominable to ignore human life like her! But the empress Your empress can tell right from wrong, which is quite gratifying, this is my great fortune!"

Empress Yuan smiled wryly and said, "So what if it's a great businessman's luck? I'm sorry for being a girl in this palace, who is powerless in many things. If the current emperor doesn't want to make progress, how can this palace do it for me?"

Baili Jiuge was even more surprised by these words, this Empress Yuan actually spoke ill of Emperor Zhaoyi to herself?

He forgot to drink the good Changming tea in his hand, Bai Li Jiuge said: "Why did the empress make such a statement? Although Emperor Zhaoyi's deeds are really contemptible!"

Empress Yuan said coldly: "Your Majesty dotes on your second sister Baili Qingping, there is nothing wrong with this matter. But Baili Qingping is insidious and cunning, she loves to tell tales, and more than once framed and eradicated those Zhongliang who had criticized her. This woman is clearly seductive and seductive, poor Majesty was fascinated by her, but I, as the master of the central palace, have no choice but to let her stir up trouble and do whatever it takes, what is it if it is not intentional and powerless?"

Baili Jiuge said: "Empress, although I can guess that my second sister probably has the same virtue as Baili Ziru in the palace, why do you want to tell me these words?"

Empress Yuan replied: "I am able to walk upright and sit upright. Even though I am restricted by that Baili Qingping, I am not afraid of those kind of seductive people, let alone tell her that she is the scourge of this harem. And you, I have always been Knowing your personality, I appreciate it very much, so I am not afraid to talk about it with you." After a moment of silence, he continued: "After staying in this big merchant's palace for a long time, this palace is the grassland where I miss my homeland more and more. , and getting more and more lonely. Bengong believes that I have seen the right person, so you should come to the palace more in the future and talk to me. Bengong admires you, so I will never let those status and status treat you badly you."

Baili Jiuge was completely shocked, unable to contain the shock.She knew that if ordinary people heard these words, they would definitely have to think carefully about the truth and falsehood, but at this moment, she was full of a sense of closeness to Empress Yuan, and wanted to believe her even more.

She stood up, with her red dress swaying behind her, and gave a sassy salute, followed her heart and completely accepted Empress Yuan, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely come to see you often, I will do what I say. !"
