Chapter 126 Reward
Crown Prince Mu Zhen is not the eldest son of Emperor Hui'an. Empress Zhao once had an unexpected miscarriage. It was not until Concubine Jiang became pregnant with Prince Yu that she became pregnant again and gave birth to this Crown Prince.
However, Mu Zhen had been weak and sickly since childhood. When he was seven years old, he fell seriously ill and had to stay in the palace for two years before he was able to return to the palace. He had been taking tonics to keep his life going over the years, but the imperial physician still concluded that the prince would not live past the age of thirty.
That was why he could still sit safely on the throne of the crown prince despite being attacked by Prince Heng and Prince Yu. After all, no one was willing to risk the wrath of the world by killing a doomed person.
Mu Zhen, as the crown prince, can temporarily balance the forces of all parties. Prince Heng and Prince Yu are also secretly accumulating strength, waiting for Mu Zhen's death to completely open the curtain of the fight for the throne.
Xue Wei didn't know what she said to Mu Zhen. Mu Zhen shook his head gently, which made Xue Wei a little excited and she grabbed his hand.
She murmured something solemnly, then turned and ran away resolutely.
Mu Zhen wanted to chase her, but after running two steps, he leaned against the tree trunk and gasped weakly.
An eunuch came forward to support Mu Zhen, but Mu Zhen raised his hand to refuse.
Mu Zhen was born frail but handsome. Unlike Shen Wuji who was sickly and lazy, he was born gentle and elegant.
He took two steps and suddenly found a butterfly with a broken wing on the ground. He carefully picked it up and placed it on a branch, with a gentle smile on his pale face.
Jiang Fengqi didn't expect to accidentally see such a scene, so he lowered his voice and said, "Ajin, let's go this way."
No matter what Xue Wei said, it is better to have less trouble in this palace.
Gu Jin nodded and left with Jiang Fengqi, without noticing the deep look Mu Zhen gave him.
When Concubine Jiang and Madam Jiang saw that Jiang Fengqi came back with Gu Jin, their faces darkened, especially Madam Jiang, whose face could be described as cloudy.
That Gu Jin was a jinx. Not only did he ruin her birthday party, but he also made her pay a lot of money. He was so abominable!
After returning, she must warn Feng Qi not to let her be bewitched by that little bitch Gu Jin!
When Gu Jin took out the pile of riddles, Concubine Jiang's eyes became even colder.
Wow, the other two people only pulled out a few, but she pulled out more than ten!
A low laugh was heard faintly beside her, and Concubine Jiang glanced sideways at Emperor Hui'an beside her.
Emperor Hui'an quickly suppressed the smile on his face and pretended to look away.
Why is Gu Jin still so greedy for money!
Last time, he made a big fuss because Concubine Wan gave unfair rewards. Now, he came to collect the rewards with so many riddles. If he didn't know that the Su family was wealthy, he would really suspect that the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion was so poor that they couldn't even make ends meet.
Concubine Jiang looked unhappy and asked in a bad tone, "Why did you take so many riddles by yourself?"
Gu Jin seemed to be unaware of Concubine Jiang's displeasure, and said with a smile: "I think your Majesty's creativity is really novel and interesting. I have worked hard to cooperate with you!"
Concubine Jiang: “…” So I should thank her for her cooperation!
Concubine Jiang had never seen such a shameless person, but even so, since she had made a promise before, she had no choice but to do it.
Gu Jin was holding a pile of rewards and smiling with his eyes curved. When Jiang Fengqi saw it, he couldn't help but smile as well.
Ajin is so cute.
Seeing that Gu Jin was still standing there, Concubine Jiang said unhappily, "What are you still doing here? Aren't you satisfied?"
Concubine Wan felt that Gu Jin was really unbearable to look at. She was so angry that she secretly glared at Su, hoping that she would scold Gu Jin.
But who would have thought that Su was smiling throughout the whole process. Not only was she not angry, she even looked proud of herself as if "my Jin'er is so awesome", which made Concubine Wan so angry that she almost vomited blood.
Women from small families are really not presentable!
"My Lady Imperial Concubine." Gu Jin blinked, his eyes burning, "Didn't you say before that there would be extra rewards for winning the championship?"
Concubine Jiang: “…”
She dares to ask for something from me! ?
Imperial Concubine Jiang didn't like things being out of her control. She looked at Gu Jin fiercely with her cold phoenix eyes, "This is the first time I've seen a woman as greedy as you. How about I just give you the phoenix crown on my head!"
Concubine Jiang wore a six-tailed golden phoenix crown. Although it had three fewer tails than the nine-tailed one ordered by the empress, its gorgeousness far surpassed that of Queen Zhao's headdress. It could be said to be a symbol of being second only to the queen in the harem.
Concubine Jiang has held a high position for many years and has long been accustomed to being looked up to and feared by others. She doesn't like Gu Jin, who is an outsider!
This sentence was enough to show Concubine Jiang's dissatisfaction. All the officials and their wives in the garden couldn't help but lower their eyes. Only Li Ying'er and Gu Rou were secretly gloating.
Gu Jin raised her eyelids and looked at Concubine Jiang. Her long and thick eyelashes trembled. She slowly bent her knees. Just when everyone thought that she was going to be frightened by Concubine Jiang and kneel down to beg for mercy, she heard Gu Jin's light tone and smiling voice saying: "I thank the Concubine for her kindness. I will cherish the Phoenix Coronet given by the Concubine and will never let her down!"
