Volume 1 ◆ Chaos in the Imperial Harem 031 The imperial physician was summoned to treat her mind!
What's going on? Su Jinping stared blankly at the man in front of her, whose facial features were extremely similar to those of Huangfu Ye. The difference was that there was a hint of elegance and refinement between his eyebrows, and his eyes had a honey-like color, pure and transparent. This person looked very clean! But, become a disciple?
Many officials were initially shocked, but soon calmed down! The Ninth Prince was a renowned music lover and also the famous "Dustless Young Master" in Jianghu. His qin skills and Xiao art were both unparalleled in the world, transcending the mundane and resembling the heavenly music of the nine heavens, with great fame in the music world!
It's no wonder that people who are infatuated with music would do such a thing.
Su Jinping pulled her sleeve back: "Who are you?"
"Master, the disciple's name is Huangfu Yi, and he is the Ninth King of Dongling. Please accept me as your disciple!" The crystal-like eyes stared at her without blinking, without a hint of arrogance as a king, but only with an intense enthusiasm and joy of meeting a kindred spirit.
The corners of her mouth twitched, taking on an apprentice, she really hadn't thought about it, and these songs weren't even her own original creations! "Ninth Prince, your status is noble, I'm just a small palace maid, how can I be your master, please withdraw your order!"
What? A little palace maid?
The grand hall suddenly lit up, and such a talented woman was actually just a palace maid?
The imperial concubines beside Huangfu Huachen also slowly saw through the clues, and although the makeup on his face made him look somewhat androgynous, he looked more and more familiar the more they stared!
"It's Su Jinping!" The Empress quickly recognized her, with a small flame burning in her eyes! This cheap woman, is she still thinking of seducing the Emperor? She even deceived me with her pretended sincerity that day and stole my silver! Her long fingernails dug into her flesh. Fine, you Su Jinping, dare to play tricks on Me?!
Everyone began to discuss and praise the birth of a good daughter by Prime Minister Su, but when Su Nianhua heard this, his face did not show the excitement that everyone had imagined. The faces of Huangfu Huaihan and Shangguan Jinrui were even more mysterious and inexplicable.
"No, no! Master, you must accept me!" The crystal-like pure eyes were full of determination.
She twitched the corner of her mouth, could she say that apart from playing a few instruments, she was almost ignorant of music? She couldn't even compose music, what would she do with it? With a disgusted wave of her hand: "I won't take it! I won't take it!" She turned to face Huangfu Huachen and said, "Your Majesty, the Night King has been rewarded, what about my reward?"
He didn't mention it, so let her bring it up herself! She has paid out so much, why hasn't she been rewarded?
As soon as this was said, the great hall instantly fell silent! The many ministers holding their wine cups seemed to have petrified, holding their cups motionless! Su Nianhua also deeply felt that his old face couldn't be held up!
But Huangfu Yi's excited expression suddenly turned blank, in his heart, someone with such a high level of musical attainment should be above worldly things and view wealth as nothing. But... his mouth twitched, where was her reward?
Huangfu covered her face with her sleeve, and her shoulders shrugged up and down! He knew that she had been standing in the central hall for so long, absolutely on purpose, it turned out to be for the reward!
The emperor's forehead jumped two times, despite his habituation to the woman's absurdity, but he didn't expect her to be so bold! He picked up his wine cup and took a sip to cover up his embarrassment, then opened his mouth coldly: "What reward do you want?"
Suddenly, the image of this woman who had been trying to seduce him a few days ago appeared in his mind. Was she thinking of becoming a concubine? For some reason, at this moment, he felt that making her a concubine didn't seem so bad after all! As he thought about it, the corner of his cold lips slightly curled up...
As soon as she heard that, Su Jinping's delicate little face shone brightly, looking at him with full expectation: "Your Majesty, how about granting me 10,000 taels of gold and 100 mu of good land?"
As soon as this was said, all around were the sounds of coughing and spitting!
Listening to these discordant voices, a woman's face suddenly turned extremely gloomy. Was her request too excessive? How did this group of people react?
She didn't know that the reward of 10,000 taels of gold and 100 mu of good land would only be given to a general who had won a great victory. She was just a small palace maid, with no merit in the imperial court or in the country, how could she have such a beautiful dream?
"Su Jinping, do you know what you're talking about?" The corners of her mouth twitched severely, this woman shouldn't be crazy, right?
Uh, isn't that asking too much? "How about a thousand taels of gold and ten mu of good land?" The emperor of this dynasty is really stingy!
He rubbed his forehead, for the first time in his life, he had an urge to smash the cup in his hand! "I think you're crazy! Guards..."
"Imperial brother!" Huáng Fū Yè and Huáng Fū Yì spoke in unison, their pleading intention clear.
He glanced at them sideways and then spoke up: "Guards, summon Imperial Physician Tai! Have him treat this woman's head properly!"
I'm going! Su Jinping had an urge to burst out in coarse language! "Your Majesty, I don't have any problem with my brain! No need to call for Imperial Physician Tai, it's fine, it's fine, just 100 taels of gold will do, isn't this request reasonable?"
It's true that this request is not excessive, but the obvious disgust and dissatisfaction on her face deeply hurt Huangfu Huaihan's self-esteem as an emperor! So he still kept a straight face and didn't speak up.
He didn't speak, gritted his teeth and thought to himself: This emperor is even more stingy than Zhou Bapi! "Your Majesty, can you at least add five taels of silver to my monthly salary from now on? You won't be so petty as to not agree to this small request, will you? As an emperor, you should reward and punish clearly. If you're not willing to give even five taels of silver per month, who would be willing to risk their lives for you? I'm saying..."
It's her grandmother! I'm desperate! I must fight for some benefits for myself!
Everyone's mouth was agape, staring at her in incredulity as she spoke eloquently. This palace maid's audacity was really too much! Hong Feng couldn't help but want to cover her mouth immediately.
"That's enough!" With a bang, Huangfu Huaihan's cup slammed onto the table, his teeth clenched as he spat out a single word, "Exact!"
A " Humph!" escaped her lips, but instead of receiving Su Jinping's grateful gaze, she was met with a disdainful glance. "This servant takes her leave!"
For just five taels of silver, she had to talk for so long. What a damn emperor! I curse his country to be poorer and poorer every year!
Seeing her obvious disrespect, the blue veins on Huangfu Huachen's hand also jumped a little!
The Empress's head was also a bit dizzy. Wasn't this woman trying to seduce the Emperor? Could it be just for silver?
Su Jinping had just walked to the gate of the palace when she suddenly heard a concubine exclaim: "Why do I feel that the clothes on Ye Wang's body look somewhat familiar?"
A woman's heart skipped a beat, uh, this dress was something she had feared Huangfu Ye wouldn't agree to wear as a woman, so she had snuck into the storage room the night before to steal it, in order to rush and put it on display... surely no one would recognize her?
Huang Pu Ye's heart also had a bad premonition!
Su Jinping quickly walked away with her head down, hoping to distance herself from the incident. Immediately after, another woman's voice rang out: "Qin Fei sister, is this the dress that was stolen from you a few days ago?"
