Sixty-eight, concubines
"Then again," Ning Xi's smile turned bitter, "you can see that he is cold, but I am still counting on him to be in a bad mood for a while." In your opinion, is there room for me and him to be de-escalated? ”
"Gege, this slave can't say it well." Nian'er lowered her head, "The slave maid just couldn't get used to seeing Gege being wronged, so she rashly made a move." As for whether he will change his mind, no one can say. When your relationship was still good, Gege, did you ever think that you would be in the situation you are in today? ”
"Yes," Ning Xi muttered, "people's hearts are fickle, it's easy to be bad, and it's hard to be good." After thinking about it, she suddenly looked at Nian'er, gritted her teeth and said, "Nian'er, go and ask Chang Sheng to bring a message to Amma, and let them choose a girl who is honest and innocent." ”
"Gege, what are you ......," Nian'er exclaimed.
"That's right, I'm going to take him a concubine." Ning Xi said, "I've also thought about it, instead of letting him find it by himself outside, it's better for me to find someone who knows his roots, not to mention a good name, and let him take care of it." Go ahead and change my mind now. ”
Nian'er thought about it, yes, if the third young master really accepted Xiao Yinyin to enter the door, don't think about having a peaceful birthday in the future. Thinking like this, Nian'er nodded and exited the door.
Although the palace has fallen, the previous connections are still there. Fu Jin soon sent someone to send a girl. This woman is called Liu Yanran, 28 years old, and she is the concubine of the former housekeeper of the palace.
Ning Xi looked at the girl standing in front of her, her appearance was delicate, and her eyes were lowered. Ning Xi couldn't help but feel a little guilty in her heart, such a girl should have married into an ordinary family as a wife, even if she was a concubine, she should have found a high-status person, no matter what kind of choice it is, it is much better than following a ruthless and statusless person like Yu Rui. She entered the house, if she is not favored, needless to say, even if she is favored, according to Yu Rui's character, there will always be a day when her feelings fade. When the time comes, will she also suffer the kind of pain she is suffering?
"It's too late to regret it now," Ning Xi couldn't help but admonish, "You also know what it means for Lu Dao to come in here." But according to your own will, I will not force it. ”
"Slaves are voluntary and will never regret it." Yan Ran still lowered her eyes and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Zhi'er, take her to freshen up and dress up." Ning Xi commanded, and then turned to Yan Ran and said, "Before I send you to the third young master's room, I hope you will think about it again, and if you regret it, I will let you go at any time." With that, he turned and left.
As night fell, Ning Xi looked at Yanran, who was dressed up and ready to sit in the sedan chair, and couldn't help but ask again: "I really don't regret it?" ”
"Sanfu Jin is a great grace, and the slave and maid are unforgettable." Yanran bowed to Ning Xi Yingying, turned around and walked onto the sedan chair.
"Listen!" Ning Xi raised her voice and commanded everyone, "This Aunt Liu, who has been the third young master since then, is half the master in the mansion, do you hear?" ”
"Yes, Sanfujin!" Everyone said in unison.
"I hope she's a grateful person." Rujin didn't know when he stood behind Ning Xi.
"What gratitude," Ning Xi smiled bitterly, "I know better than anyone who Yu Rui is." She came here, undoubtedly a fire pit! I hate myself for being like that. ”
"Don't say that," Rujin said, "even if it's not her, there will be someone else, and it won't be wrong to choose someone who knows the roots." As long as she keeps to herself, and doesn't think about what she doesn't deserve, with you protecting her, what are you afraid of? If she doesn't know what to do, you don't have to blame yourself. Besides, there should be no mistake in the people chosen by the palace. ”
Ning Xi nodded, watching the sedan chariot disappear into the night.
Early the next morning, Ning Xi heard a lot of talk everywhere. It is said that last night that Aunt Liu was sent back untouched.
Back in Huanxi Residence, Ning Xi walked directly to the side courtyard, and sure enough, he saw Yanran sitting in the middle of the courtyard, still wearing the clothes she wore when she left.
"What they say, but is it true?" Ning Xi couldn't help but ask.
"They...... Who is it? Yanran said dumbfoundedly, "Last night, the third young master didn't see the slave maid at all, and I heard that it was someone sent by Gege, so he directly asked the sedan chair man to carry it back." ”
"Regret it, don't you?" Ning Xi asked again.
Yan Ran shook her head and said, "I, Amma, am deeply favored by the prince, and the slave is willing to do anything for Gege!" ”
"Okay, I'll take you to Ruixing Pavilion in person tonight." Tidal Channel.
That night, Ning Xi took Yanran to Ruixing Pavilion for dinner. During the banquet, the atmosphere was strange, and none of the three of them said a word.
After finally getting through this difficult dinner, Ning Xi excused himself to leave, and glanced at Yanran before leaving.
"Wait!" Yu Rui stopped her.
"Is there anything else?" Ning Xi had an indifferent attitude.
"Take people away." Yu Rui glanced at Yan Ran coldly and said.
"You don't like it?" Ning Xi asked.
"Don't stuff me with women, it's boring." Yu Rui glared at her, turned and entered the inner room.
Ning Xi glanced at Yanran and said, "You wait here first, and I'll go talk to him." ”
Yanran nodded, but her eyes were full of despair.
After entering the inner room, Ning Xi looked at Yu Rui, who had his back to her and looked out the window, and walked over and asked, "What's wrong with you, don't you like me, don't you arrange someone else for you?" ”
"I didn't say I didn't like you." Yu Rui said without looking back.
"Then why do you want to do this to me?" Ning Xi asked.
"I didn't think much of you, you thought too much."
Still with this sentence, Ning Xi felt angry again. She thought about it for a while, but still said: "Yanran is a good girl, treat her well." Don't snub her just because I sent her. ”
"Don't make a fool of it, I won't touch it." Yu Rui turned around at this time.
"Then what do you like, or who do you like, tell me, and I'll arrange it." Ning Xi made a generous appearance.
"No, don't guess." Yu Rui said impatiently.
"You really won't even give me face?" Ning Xi was a little anxious.
"Okay," Yu Rui looked at Ning Xi playfully, "I like that Nian'er next to you, I like it a lot, give me a room." ”
"What?" Ning Xi exclaimed, "Nian'er can't do it, absolutely not!" ”
"No matter who you fancy just now, they will arrange it for me, why did you change your mind so quickly?" Yu Rui said disdainfully.
"Besides Nian'er, who do you like, say it." Ning Xi still said calmly.
"I just want her." After saying that, he bypassed Ning Xi and went out on his own.
Nian'er walked in and saw Ning Xi standing there alone in a daze, so she asked, "Gege, aren't you leaving?" Seeing that Ning Xi didn't move, she couldn't help muttering, "Is the third young master still resentful of me for splashing water on him a few days ago?" Why did you look at me with such strange eyes just now? ”
Ning Xi was startled, turned to Nian'er, and looked at her with wide eyes.
