Chapter 181 A Glimpse
Next, the newlyweds turned to Concubine Dong.
The imperial concubine had been looking at Mo Yi and took a liking to the purse on her body.
Unlike ordinary embroidered purses, this one is made of flesh-colored organza.
She knew this yarn, it was new and had only been out for a short time... it was called misty yarn. The color was not bright, it was misty and old, so many people didn't like it.
I don't know how it's starched, but it's very stiff. When it's made into clothes, it will stick out and not lie flat, and it won't be as drapey and flowing as chiffon.
As soon as they became available, Prince Yong'an sent in two pieces of cloth. He felt that they were not good enough, so he asked the palace maids to cut and sew them to make gauze curtains.
I didn't expect it could be used like this! So special!
Why does the Princess of Qi have so many new and strange things?
As luck would have it, what Mo Yi gave her was just such a purse, bean green in color, with a few rice-sized beads sewn on it.
Little Concubine Dong is not a deep-minded person. She was spoiled by her family since she was young, and later by Prince Yong'an. If she really married him in this life, she should be very happy.
It’s a pity that, somehow, she was noticed by the emperor and entered the palace.
After years of careful training, it was too late to train her to the standard of a palace concubine. But this also pleased the emperor more. After nearly ten years, she was still the emperor's favorite concubine. Privately, she was also supported by the Prince of Yong'an, and she was given the best clothes and supplies. The innocence in her nature had not yet disappeared.
"Ah! It's the same as yours! Only the color is different. Did you make this too?"
"To answer your Majesty, the design of this bag was thought up by me, and usually an embroiderer would make it. But most of the work on your Majesty's was done by Mo Yi."
"Most of it again..." Concubine Dong curled her lips in dissatisfaction. As the emperor's favorite concubine, and with the big wallet of Prince Yong'an, what doesn't she have?
But, but, she doesn’t have this!
Li Jing ignored her, gently pulled Mo Yi, and walked to Concubine De.
Concubine De was the biological mother of the Ninth Prince Li Pu, and had a great grudge against Li Jing. She had a strong personality and was not hypocritical. At this moment, her face was cold and she said nothing.
Mo Yi didn't say much, and after the gift, he also gave her a purse, which was different from the imperial concubine's, but also very unique. However, De Fei didn't even look at it, and the maid beside her gave her a hairpin of very poor quality.
Mo Yi accepted it, thanked him, and walked downstairs.
After meeting two more concubines, he went to Li Chang's biological mother, Concubine Yi.
"This is Fourteenth Brother's biological mother..." Li Jing seemed to hesitate for a moment.
The eunuch next to her quickly introduced, "This is our Concubine Zhu!"
"Hello, Queen Zhupin!" Mo Yi saluted.
Li Jing frowned, then turned back to look at the emperor, "Father, Concubine Zhu was by my mother's side. She followed and took care of you for many years, and even gave birth to two princes for you. How come she is still a concubine now?"
emperor:"……"
He is in poor health now and no longer goes to the harem to do things. Apart from asking the Queen to do things and chatting with Concubine Dong, he only sees the other concubines once or twice a year. How could he still be thinking about Concubine Yi?
When his son asked him about this, he was embarrassed: "This is the elders' business, why are you asking? Think about what you are doing now?"
"Father, Empress Yipin lost her sixth brother so tragically... I hope you will show some sympathy."
The emperor was annoyed and turned to the queen and said, "Concubine Yi has a grown prince, and the fourteenth little boy is also going to be married. Give him the title: Liang, and get started."
The Queen was actually very unhappy in her heart, but she had to pretend and replied very gently: "Yes. Your Majesty, I neglected it. I will do it immediately!"
Concubine Zhu stood up and knelt down: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Chang next to him also knelt down with his mother and said excitedly: "Thank you, father! Thank you, Queen. Thank you, seventh brother..." He looked at Li Jing with slightly red eyes.
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess look particularly good together standing together.
They are a perfect match, and look like a perfect couple. The prince smiled at Mo Yi and said, "Seventh brother has been busy outside for so many years, and has made great contributions to the court and father. I am afraid he has been injured a lot. When Seventh brother's wife comes to the mansion, please take good care of him."
"Yes." Mo Yi saluted in response.
"Seventh brother, your sister-in-law is so much younger than you, you can't have such a stern face all day long!"
Li Jing didn't answer either.
The prince had no choice but to say to Mo Yi: "Your fifth sister-in-law is hospitable and likes to prepare food. They often get together at home. If your seventh sister-in-law is free, come to her house more often to play."
The Crown Princess also smiled and said, "Yes, Seventh Sister-in-law. When you are settled in the mansion, we can visit each other. This hairpin is some small conch shells that my uncle received in his early years. Later, I asked a master to customize it. I have never worn it. Although it is not very expensive, it is still rare. I hope you don't laugh at me!"
Mo Yi took it personally. It was a mother-of-pearl flower with several small peanut-sized conch shells hanging under it, in different colors and shapes. It was beautiful and interesting.
She really likes it.
"Fifth sister-in-law! The hairpin is so beautiful. I have seen it before. It must be very rare. Mo Yi dare not take away your love."
"I made several at the same time. My sisters all have them. You can keep them!"
"Thank you, sister-in-law..."
The Crown Princess left a good impression on Mo Yi.
Walking to the back, there are two people who are relatively close to the emperor, one is the emperor's uncle, and the other is his cousin. So these aunts and sisters-in-law are dizzy in recognizing their relatives.
Next are Li Jing’s brothers.
The Third Prince did not come, as he was said to be too ill to get out of bed. The Third Princess came, as she did not look very well as there was no heir in the mansion.
The Fourth Prince Li Yun and Li Jing had an average relationship, and the couple only exchanged a few perfunctory words.
The relationship between the Ninth Prince Li Pu and Li Jing was not good at all, and the two of them had nothing to say. The Ninth Prince's Consort Hu ignored them, saying that she was taking care of the children.
Then Eleven said a few words to Li Jing. Mo Yi looked back and saw the effect of the gift: Concubine Dong was the most respectful, playing with the purse and gesturing on her body. Not to mention, it matched her clothes today.
I saw her smiling seductively, looking in one direction, and then posing excitedly...
Who is this directed at?
Following Concubine Xiao Dong's gaze, Mo Yi turned his head again... Prince Yong'an? He was also looking in the direction of the Concubine. His face was full of... what is this expression called... obsession?
Mo Yi's heart skipped a beat and he quickly turned back.
The eleventh prince's biological mother is dead, and he has a younger sister. Both of them are not well-received. They got married last year, and his wife didn't say she was going to have a baby...
The fifteenth prince looked at them with a smile, "Seventh brother, Seventh sister-in-law!" He was only in his early teens, and looked more like the young Concubine Dong, very beautiful. His eyes were innocent, and he was sincerely happy to see the newcomers.
The shield Mo Yi gave him was similar to the one Liu Nian had, but it was made later. He took it in his hand, his eyes narrowed with smiles: "This is good, this is good, take it!" He instructed the person next to him.
Turning around, we arrived at the place of Prince Yong'an.
"Qilang, congratulations." The Prince of Yong'an's demeanor is truly impeccable.
She has a warm smile, is dressed in gorgeous clothes, and is very clean. When you get close to her, you can smell an elegant fragrance.
Li Jing had dealt with him before, and his expression was relatively gentle. In addition, he was wealthy and generous, and his moves were extraordinary...
Next came the princesses, as not many of the old princesses were still alive. Of this generation, Princess Yu'an was of course the most important one.
She didn't wear her favorite red dress today, probably because she wanted to avoid being a bride.
He was very polite when he spoke: "I met Sister Qi last time and she said she would invite you to her house. Later, I heard that you were getting married. I thought you must be busy, so I didn't invite you. Let's get together when things are settled!"
Mo Yi's face was almost cramped with laughter, and he nodded and smiled: "Okay."
…
After meeting with everyone, he went to the Queen Mother's palace.
When the palace maid saw them coming, she welcomed them in with a smile on her face. Without Li Jing asking, she continued:
"The Queen Mother has been fine these past two days. Yesterday she found out that the prince was getting married, so she specially asked us to open the storehouse! But today..."
Li Jing showed no expression as he took Mo Yi in and kowtowed to the Queen Mother.
"Your Highness, the Prince of Qi got married yesterday, and today he brought his bride to serve you tea! Look at how beautiful our Princess Qi is!"
"Ah? Oh, there's a new person! Hurry up and get up!"
The two men stood up.
"Come to me quickly!" The Queen Mother extended her hand to Mo Yi.
Mo Yi took two steps forward.
The Queen Mother immediately reached out to pull her, looked her over carefully, and said to the people around her, "Yes, she is very pretty!"
Mo Yi felt the Queen Mother's hand was soft and fleshy.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind."
Mo Yi smiled shyly, secretly looking at the Queen Mother. She looked so young! She had delicate skin, beautiful eyes, was neither fat nor thin, and wore luxurious clothes. When she smiled, her eyes only had slight wrinkles, which added to her charm.
Li Jing sat aside calmly, drinking tea and not saying a word.
The Queen Mother did not expect Mo Yi's eyes to be so direct and curious. She was stunned for a moment and quickly lowered her eyes to look at Mo Yi's hand.
The nanny next to her coughed lightly.
Mo Yi finally reacted: "Granddaughter-in-law didn't expect the Royal Grandmother to be so young. I was distracted for a moment... Royal Grandmother, please don't blame me!"
"You have such a sweet mouth. I'm so bored living in the palace. You should come often. If you have anything new or interesting, come and tell me..."
"yes."
The gift Mo Yi sent was also praised by the Queen Mother. The return gift was also not small. After a few simple social remarks, Li Jing said on the way: "The Queen Mother has been a little confused after her illness."
Mo Yi nodded and thought: Maybe there is some, she didn't even ask what her name is.
If I had known it before, I wouldn't have mentioned it implicitly or explicitly.
What if she was confused and didn't know, wouldn't she ask when a stranger came?
