Chapter 127 Everyone’s “Reward”
Gu Jin's words were enough to shock everyone present for a hundred years. The Imperial Garden was completely silent, and even the birds watching the show on the branches stopped singing.
Emperor Hui'an stared at Gu Jin intently, and just wanted to give her a thumbs up and say that she was brave.
I think it was probably the same when the Earl of Anding led his troops to fight against the golden-armored soldiers of Zhao State.
Not only did she dare to pluck the hair from the tiger's butt, she also kicked it hard after plucking it. She is truly an extraordinary woman.
Emperor Hui'an raised the corners of his lips slightly. He admired Gu Jin very much when he first met her. He always felt that this girl was more pleasing to the eye than others.
Watching her again today, I still find her interesting and likable.
Concubine Jiang was stunned for a long time.
Although she heard Gu Jin's words clearly, her cognition made her unable to believe what she heard.
Gu Jin is collecting the reward! ?
Doesn’t she understand what I’m saying?
"You...you are really brave!" These words were squeezed out from between Concubine Jiang's teeth, with a bit of disgust.
Gu Jin half-closed her eyelids and pretended to be docile. "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. I have always remembered my father's teachings that children of military families should be brave and fearless."
Concubine Jiang just felt so upset. No matter what you say, the other party will take it as good words and accept it all. It's so frustrating!
A sharp coldness flashed across her phoenix eyes, and just as she was about to open her mouth to reprimand, she suddenly heard a cheer from the side.
"Well said!" Emperor Hui'an laughed loudly, "Children of generals should be brave and fearless, so that the State of Chen will never lack dedicated generals."
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Jiang looked at Emperor Hui'an in disbelief. How could not understanding what others say be contagious?
Emperor Hui'an smiled and looked at Concubine Jiang gently, "Concubine Jiang is naturally very good. You are willing to take out this phoenix crown for the Qixi Palace Banquet. If I remember correctly, this is the one you wore when you were awarded the title of Concubine Jiang."
Emperor Hui'an was very pleased, "It is because of you helping the Queen to manage the six palaces that I can rest assured in the former dynasty.
The Imperial Concubine is worthy of being a role model for imperial concubines. I am very pleased! "
Concubine Jiang: “…”
Concubine Jiang swallowed back all the words she was about to say. She wanted to scold Gu Jinren for being greedy, but now Emperor Hui'an had carried her high up on the steps and everyone was looking at her. She really couldn't move an inch.
Looking at Gu Jin who lowered his eyebrows and looked docile, Concubine Jiang clenched her fists tightly, her slender fingertips pierced her flesh, and her silver teeth almost bit it to pieces, "After the palace banquet is over, I will order someone to send this phoenix crown to the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am grateful for your grace!" Gu Jin raised the corners of his mouth high, and his lowered eyes were filled with a bright smile.
This palace is such a great place. I always gain unexpected things every time I come here.
"Mother, how could you give the Phoenix Coronet to Gu Jin!"
As soon as Princess Jingmin arrived at the Imperial Garden, she heard that Concubine Jiang was going to give the phoenix crown on her head to Gu Jin. She was shocked beyond words.
This phoenix crown is extremely luxurious and is a symbol of Concubine Jiang's status.
As a daughter, she never dared to ask for it, so how could this bitch Gu Jin be capable!
"Jingmin, don't be rude." Concubine Jiang glanced at him coldly, "Why don't you take a seat?"
Although Princess Jingmin was arrogant and domineering, she was very afraid of Concubine Jiang. Upon hearing this, she had to sit down reluctantly, while glaring at Gu Jin fiercely.
Gu Jin seemed unaware and curled the corners of his lips happily.
In fact, hypocrites are much easier to deal with than real villains, because they value their reputation and face. Just like Concubine Jiang, she was obviously reluctant to give it to her, but she had to give it up for the sake of so-called face.
She has figured out the characteristics of these people, so the right medicine is particularly effective!
Queen Zhao also raised the corners of her lips.
What a pleasure! What a pleasure!
Although she is the queen of a country, she has been suppressed for many years by Empress Dowager Jiang and her nephew. Today, we can see that Concubine Jiang will suffer a setback.
"I am also born into a military family, but unfortunately I don't have your heroic spirit." Queen Zhao spoke slowly, looking at Gu Jin with genuine liking in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, I think Third Young Madam Xie is truly intelligent and wise. I like her very much when I see her!" As she spoke, Queen Zhao took off the pair of jade bracelets from her wrists and ordered the palace maids to present them to Gu Jin.
Concubine Jiang knew that Queen Zhao was trying to piss her off, so she sneered and raised the corners of her lips, saying sarcastically, "Is the Queen's love only worth a pair of bracelets? Isn't this gift too little?"
Queen Zhao was not bothered by this and just smiled faintly, "I am used to being frugal, and I am indeed not as generous as Sister Jiang.
But the gift is small but the sentiment is great, I am sure Third Young Lady Xie will understand my intentions, right?"
Gu Jin didn't expect to get any extra rewards. She knew that Queen Zhao had a hard time in the harem, so she naturally wouldn't be picky. "Thank you, Queen, for your kindness."
Queen Zhao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "What a good child."
Gu Rou looked puzzled. How come Gu Jin got another reward?
She is greedy and rude. What is there to like about such a person?
Gu Rou was extremely puzzled and didn't even know how to start feeling jealous.
Seeing Gu Jin's overjoyed look, Concubine Wan felt it was irritating. Last time, she was punished by His Majesty because of the reward, and now she did such a shameless thing in public. If she is not disciplined or restrained, sooner or later she will bring disgrace to the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion!
Concubine Wan's almond-shaped eyes moved, and she curled her lips with a sneer, "Wait."
Gu Jin stopped and looked at Concubine Wan with a puzzled look.
Concubine Wan narrowed her eyes and smiled, her voice as soft as a feather, "The Empress and the Imperial Concubine have both given you a gift, and you are my niece-in-law, so how can I treat you unfairly?"
Gu Jin raised his eyebrows. Is there such a good thing?
"Liuli, Amber."
As soon as Concubine Wan finished speaking, two graceful palace maids came out from behind her.
"These two are capable men around me. I will give them to you today."
