Chapter 2: The Sisters' Gap 2
Yongtai squeaked and laughed, provoking Yuyan, who was sitting on the couch, to look up. Under the spring sun, the woman's smiling side face seemed to be shrouded in a gentle glow, and her eyes were full of surprise and excitement when she saw the child.
Yu Yan suddenly lost a smile, she may not have wanted to come, but she had to come to ask for peace because of the rules of the palace. When will their sisters become so hypocritical? The world is really ridiculous, she has won status and honor, but at the same time she has lost a lot.
Thinking like this, he said to the nurse as if nothing happened: "This palace and Ning Shuyuan have something to say, you take the prince down first." β
As soon as Yongtai left, the woman was immediately at a loss. Before she could wait for Yuyan to speak, she walked through the court, gave a formal salute, and said, "The concubine has seen Concubine Jing's mother, and the lady is blessed with Jin'an." β
Yu Yan looked at the person in front of her silentlyβshe hung her head deeply, revealing her white, slender neck. Her hair was as black as a cloud, and her skin was like mutton fat and white jade. From this angle, only half of her smooth and bright forehead could be seen, and the posture seemed to be extremely reverent. Yu Yan let out a long sigh and said gloomily: "My sister is finally going to be estranged from me." β
Ning Shuyuan raised her head and opened her mouth but didn't spit out half a word. Yu Yan's gaze fell leisurely on the blue white clouds in the distance, and said lightly: "The weather is very good today, my sister will sit in the courtyard with me and talk." β
The woman got up, sat down slowly next to the soft seat brought by Su E, and said with some uneasiness: "Sister looks very tired. β
"I'm a little tired, and I have to watch out for people who want to harm me every day, and now even the people around me can't be of the same mind." Her gaze fell on Ning Shuyuan, the woman was stunned, but she didn't have the courage to raise her head: "Actually, there are not so many people who want to harm my sister, if my sister can raise her noble hand and let them go, maybe they will be grateful to you." β
"So on that day in the palace, you will open your mouth to ask for the Qin family?"
Ning Shuyuan's body shook suddenly, and her voice unconsciously lowered: "Yes, my sister pities what happened to her." β
"But do you know that your sympathy, your pity, almost ruined the sisterhood between you and me." Yu Yan's voice suddenly cooled down, and the willow eyebrows painted by the golden Qingluodai suddenly became a little more angry, "My sister pities her, but who will pity me." β
A gust of spring breeze swept by, and the woman's brocade hibiscus and begonia's clothes were lifted high, and her jewels in the high bun were reflected in the light. Ning Shuyuan raised her head for a long time and said softly, "I know, I made my sister sad." However, sister, you have also taken the lives of many people, is it time to stop. β
Yu Yan seemed to be hit by this sentence, and for a while it was cold from the back of her spine to her bun: "Do you actually look at me like this." Let it go, you think I don't want to? β
"In the past, my sister had a low status, and I hated those people when she was bullied. I have never forgotten my sister's kindness to me and Yu Ying. However, now, you are Concubine Jing, the person who has the power to kill and kill in your hands, why do you still have to force each other to take away what belongs to others. β
"Something that belongs to someone else." Yu Yan suddenly smiled coldly, there were flowing clouds covering the sunlight above his head, and Jing'an Palace was suddenly enveloped in a haze, "Do you mean Chengying?" β
Ning Shuyuan's face turned extremely pale in an instant, and her trembling shoulders seemed to be unable to support her weak body, and it took a long time for the woman to struggle and take a deep breath, looking at Yu Yan's gaze was extremely heavy: "I know that if it is my sister, I will find out one day - I have feelings for Chengying." β
"If you really knew that I would find out, you shouldn't have deceived me in the first place."
"I didn't." A little uneasiness suddenly appeared on Ning Shuyuan's face, and her argument sounded so weak, "I just don't have the courage to declare this feeling." β
"Don't have the courage? But my sister's courage to deceive her superiors and subordinates under the pretext of being in an emergency is great. A seawater jade emerald gemstone Minghuang hairpin in Yu Yan's hand made a crisp sound, and she already looked at Ning Shuyuan coldly, "You are really bold, once this matter is exposed, Yongxi will be in danger of his life." Don't you know that she's watching us day and night? β
"So my sister begged the emperor to take back Chengying under the pretense of being an assassin, even if you know my deep affection, I don't care about it!"
"Ridiculous." Yu Yan was already extremely angry, "This palace will not play tricks on this kind of thing. β
She originally wanted to say a lot from her heart, but seeing Ning Shuyuan so uncompromising, it was difficult to suppress the anger in her heart. This conversation made her suddenly feel a little sad, in fact, what Ning Shuyuan really cared about, what she really wanted to do, these were not important. All Yu Yan cares about is the trust and support between the two.
The sudden silence plunged her into deep thought. After a long time, the woman in front of her raised her head and said very resolutely: "I may be going on a different path from my sister, and I probably don't need my sister's protection from now on." Yu Xin only hopes that if the East Window incident happens one day, her sister will not be implicated in the slightest. She said that she stood up and bowed solemnly, with a slight sense of loss in her tone, "Please forgive the concubine for taking her leave." β
Yu Yan sat back in her chair with some weakness, looked at Ning Shuyuan's departing figure, and slowly closed her eyes. Su E walked out lightly from under the eaves, draped a thin blanket for her, but did not make a sound to disturb.
Yu Yan sat motionless in the sunlight for a long time, as if she had fallen asleep. Just when Su E was about to leave, he suddenly heard her say: "Ning Shuyuan is also a fierce woman. Hidden under the surface of water is a heart that refuses to give in. β
"Little Lord Ning will understand Niangniang's hard work one day."
Yu Yan smiled slightly when she heard this, and there was no trace of joy, anger and sorrow in her eyes as deep as the night: "I'm just afraid that it will be too late by then." β
At this point, although the two of them are not close to each other, they are estranged after all.
Since the queen was banned, the concubines and concubines had to go to Xining Palace every three days to ask for peace. Although on the surface, Mrs. Yunping is still respected, but the real power to deal with the right size is always in the hands of Yu Yan. Unexpectedly, Concubine Zhao did not express much objection to this, in fact, since her miscarriage, the number of times she went to bed has gradually increased, although she cannot spoil the harem, but it is enough to be equal to Yuyan. And what hibernates after a few days of tranquility is the sudden loss of power of Qing Shunyi.
One day more than a month later, she suddenly found horseshoe pollen around the palace wall, and since then she has a rash on her body, even to the point that she can't see people, and even the imperial doctor sent by her has been turned away. Qing Shunyi has always regarded her appearance as her life, and if this ugly appearance reaches Yuhao's ears, she may not be able to be a person in the future.
