Fragrant willow catkins

Mo Xi's expression was clear at a glance. Ning Xu didn't even need to guess, she knew that Mo Xi was scolding her in her heart again.

But it is true that Mo Xi is now thinking: How can this maid be so pretty? No! How can this maid enter the palace! How can she be promoted from a small cook to a palace maid! Does she have the qualifications! Is her face so pretty? How did she get that scar? Will the emperor like her? No! I will not allow her to surpass my concubine!

Ning Xu looked at Mo Xi, speechless. Whatever this man was thinking was shown on his face. Sometimes he was angry, sometimes he was envious.

Looking at the opposite side, Bai Guiren's jealousy was still there, Ningxu also saw contempt in it. On the other hand, although Concubine Lin's face was not very good, she was expressionless and it was impossible to tell her intentions.

Ningxu stood between Concubine Ping and the Third Master, and a palace maid quietly placed a stool behind her that was lower than the concubines'.

Third Master: “Ahem.” Third Master still looked straight ahead, but his head tilted to the right.

Ningxu understood and sat down.

Quite attentive.

At the banquet, everyone had a table in front of them. The Third Master and his friends sat high up, so their entire upper bodies were visible. But the stool that the Third Master had people bring for Ningxu was much lower, so Ningxu only had her head sticking out, which made it easier for her to see outside, but the people below couldn't see her sitting position.

Ningxu sat there relaxingly, how thoughtful, it felt like I had found a treasure.

When Concubine Lin saw that she dared to be so presumptuous in front of the emperor, she looked at Concubine Ping unhappily, and her implication was obvious, asking Concubine Ping to control her own palace maids.

Concubine Ping certainly noticed her look, but although she was in poor health, she was definitely not someone who could be bullied. She ignored Concubine Lin's gaze, with an expression that said, "What does it have to do with you?" and continued to watch the performance on the stage.

She loves her girl and doesn't care whether you have the phoenix seal or not.

Having the Phoenix Seal doesn't make you the queen, and you can't interfere in everything.

The performances and tributes on the stage were still going on. Before Ningxu came, San Ye rewarded a certain program randomly. After Ningxu came, San Ye rewarded each performance according to Ningxu's expression.

For example, if Ningxu just smiled and didn't move, the Third Master would not reward her.

If Ningxu smiled and stared at the stage with shining eyes, the Third Master would reward her with jewels.

If Ningxu lay on the table and wished she could go down to the stage and applaud, the Third Master would directly reward her with gold or a wish.

The same went for the treasures presented by some foreign envoys and ministers. If Ningxu was interested, the Third Master would give the treasure to Concubine Ping's palace. If Ningxu didn't like it, the Third Master would just accept it hastily and also give a few pieces to Concubine Lin, Noble Bai, and Mo Xi.

The whole banquet was full of joy. It was rare for the ministers to see the emperor so happy. In order not to spoil the emperor's fun, few of them left early. They all sat obediently in their seats, guessing with their colleagues which program or treasure would be appreciated by the emperor.

The banquet did not end until the afternoon. Ningxu accompanied Concubine Ping back to Yanqing Palace first, and the Second Madam followed shortly after, handing Mo Tang over to the Second Master. When their troops returned to the palace, the treasures awarded by the Third Master were also delivered and placed in the yard.

The three men stepped forward to look at the treasures in the box. The Third Master had rewarded the concubines with many things at the banquet, so it was impossible for him to remember what was in Concubine Ping's palace by relying on his brain.

Concubine Ping: "Rumeng, please take these back to your room. I see you like them very much." Concubine Ping said to Ningxu with a smile. It seemed that she didn't care about these material possessions.

Ningxu paused. What does Concubine Ping mean by this? Why would she give me what the Third Master gave her? Did the Second Madam ask her to take care of me? That doesn't make sense. She doesn't want so many valuable treasures?

Ningxu: "My Lady... this is a gift from the Third Master."

Concubine Ping still smiled gently. The Second Lady ignored them and continued to play with the box. Concubine Ping said, "These were originally given to me by the Emperor because he saw that you liked them. Otherwise, how would he find an excuse to give them to you?"

"I like?"

"Well, I noticed that his eyes are all on you. The ones you like are given to Yanqing Palace, and the ones he is not interested in are given to other concubines." Concubine Ping already knew the relationship between the Third Master and Ningxu. Besides, she was sitting firmly in the harem not to compete for favor, but just to help the emperor fight against the Bai family.

Ningxu: “But…”

Ningxu was a little confused. She saw so many novel things being awarded to Yanqing Palace and was happy for Concubine Ping in her heart, so how could they be given to her?

The Second Madam: "Meng, just accept it. Sheng'er is not interested in these things, so they will just be put away in the bottom of the box."

Concubine Ping also nodded slightly, and they both looked at Ningxu with a smile, which made Ningxu feel a little embarrassed.

For the first time, I felt like showing off my affection would be a disaster if it was exposed to the public...

It should be said that the people in the entire Yonghe Continent have good personalities. For example, isn't it true that Ping Fei usually fights to the death in the harem? Why did she send gifts to her love rival? Didn't Ping Fei feel unhappy at all? This was a reward from the Emperor to Yanqing Palace. Didn't she blame her for taking her things away?

Ningxu's face showed some embarrassment and confusion.

The Second Lady and Concubine Ping looked at each other and laughed silently.

They were not wrong. Rumeng was a kind-hearted child. She would feel uneasy if she took something that was not hers. The child was probably wondering why they were so nice to her.

Ningxu: "Madam... Second Madam... I..."

Third Master: "Meng'er, Sister Sheng'er, Aunt, what are you doing?" Before Ningxu could say anything to evade, Third Master arrived at the gate of Yanqing Palace, looking extremely happy.

The Second Lady: "I'm trying to persuade Rumeng to accept these boxes. This child is embarrassed to accept such expensive things."

"What's the big deal?" The Third Master came over and embraced Ningxu, brought her to the boxes of treasures, bent down and took something out of the boxes.

After a while, the Third Master took out many vases and porcelains from six boxes and placed them on the ground. Concubine Ping's expression changed slightly, as if she had thought of something.

Third Master: "Hey, Sister Sheng'er, these are the styles you like. The things in the box belong to you and Meng'er in half. How could I forget about my sister just because I have a wife, right?"

Princess Ping smiled, thinking of the little Li Ze who followed her to practice sword when she was a child, and who also thought of her when there were good things. "Thank you, sister."

Third Master: "It's okay!" "Meng'er, I'll ask someone to help you carry your things back to your room."

As they spoke, several palace servants picked up the boxes and walked towards Ningxu's room.

Ningxu still stayed where she was, watching the palace servants working hard to move the boxes.

What's going on? Why would Mo Sheng, the elder sister of the Third Master, agree to enter the palace?

Seeing Ningxu still standing there in a daze, the Third Master smiled and took Ningxu's arm to escort her to the courtyard. He turned around and said hello to the Second Madam, "Aunt, I'm going to help Meng'er clean up the room! Please do as you please!"
