Chapter Eighty-Three: Concubine Rongshuang
Yan Xining shook her head stupidly, she has only lived in this era for more than ten years, there are few literate people in Fu'an Village, and when she arrived at the Wang family, she only cared about learning geography and history, and she really knew very little about folk customs.
Seeing that she really didn't know, Huanqin explained: "In Chang'an, every year on the Shangsi Festival, unmarried adult men and women will gather on the side of Qujiang Pond to go out, and the man holds a peony, and if he meets a girl who admires, he will give her the peony, and he has shown his admiration!" The jade pendant that His Royal Highness gave to the girl is the appearance of a peony, what is it if you don't like the girl? ”
Yan Xining listened to her words, thinking of Xie Ronghua's words when he was interrupted by Xie Muyan, did he want to confess to himself? Yan Xining's heart was pounding, and she only felt that everything was so incredible, but it was so natural. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Huanqin looked at her shyly and quipped: "Isn't the girl very happy in her heart now, I feel very happy, this Chang'an doesn't know how many women look at His Highness, but ah, His Highness only takes a fancy to our girl." ”
"you!" Yan Xining was about to hit her, she dodged with a smile, and said with a smile: "Girl, since His Royal Highness gave you a jade pendant, then you can embroider a sachet back to him with your own hands!" ”
"Sachets?" Yan Xining said embarrassedly: "I don't know how to embroider, it must be ugly to make, forget it." ”
"How can you forget it, the girl won't, I can teach you, this is a piece of the girl's heart, whether it is done well or not, His Royal Highness will definitely like it very much." Phantom Qin smiled and persuaded her.
"Won't you really dislike it?" Yan Xining imagined the appearance she made, and even she would dislike it.
"No, girl, don't worry, His Highness is going to go on an expedition tomorrow, you must go to see him off, when you come back, I will teach you, we will strive to do it before His Highness returns to Chang'an!" Phantom Qin egged.
"Okay, then you have to teach me well, don't make me too embarrassed." Yan Xi Ning made up his mind, and couldn't help laughing after speaking.
********************************
Early the next morning, Xie Ronghua led the troops to the expedition, because it was not a big war, and there was no sacrificial ceremony before the expedition, not many people knew about it.
"Girl, you see, His Highness has come to see us, and he must remember the girl." Lingyu shook the stunning beauty beside her and said excitedly.
"Shhh The woman whispered, the woman's name is Rong Shuang, she is one of the ten concubines that Xie Yun gave to Xie Ronghua, since she saw Xie Ronghua that night, she has never seen him again, and when she heard that Xie Ronghua was going to go on the expedition today, she took the maid Lingyu out of the palace secretly, just wanting to see him again when he went on the expedition.
Lingyu stuck out her tongue and said, "Don't worry, girl, since Your Highness still remembers the girl, it means that the girl is not ordinary in his heart, and he will not punish the girl, you see, His Highness smiled at us." ”
Rong Shuang looked over, Xie Ronghua did look in the direction where they were and smiled, the smile was like a spring breeze, full of spoiling, but soon, she found that the smile was not for her, and he was not looking at her, she carefully identified the place where his gaze fell, only to find that he had been looking at the woman beside her, she turned her head to look, the woman was beautiful, elegantly dressed, with a faint smile on her face, her eyes and Xie Ronghua were entangled, affectionate, as if there were only them here, and no one else.
A soldier softly urged Xie Ronghua, he came back to his senses, and silently said to the woman who was watching him from a distance: "Wait for me!" ”
Yan Xining understood what he said, and whispered to him with a smile: "Take care!" ”
After the army left, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, there were not many people, and soon the street was quiet again, Yan Xining turned around and was about to leave, when a woman's voice behind her stopped her: "Girl, please stay!" ”
Yan Xining stopped, looked at the two people in front of him who seemed to be master and servant, and said suspiciously: "You call me?" ”
Rong Shuang nodded, she stared at the jade pendant around her neck, her lips trembled slightly, and the blood on her face slowly faded.
Yan Xining noticed her gaze, covered the jade pendant around her neck with her hand, and looked at her defensively.
Lingyu looked at Yan Xining's actions, and said with some dissatisfaction: "What do you mean, we won't rob your things, but let's just see, don't we have anything in the Qin Palace?" ”
"Lingyu, don't say it." Rong Shuang stopped her, but Yan Xining was already puzzled: "You are from the Qin Palace?" ”
"Yes, my girl is a member of His Royal Highness King Qin, maybe she will be made a side concubine one day, if you don't want any good things at that time, how can she come to rob your things?" Lingyu said proudly.
"Lingyu!" Rong Shuang shouted to stop her, looked at Yan Xi and said apologetically: "Rong Shuang's discipline is not strict, I apologize to the girl on her behalf, just now I just saw that the girl's jade pendant was a little familiar, so I looked at it twice, hoping that the girl would not misunderstand." ”
Yan Xi stared at her deadly, and asked with some trembling, "Are you Xie Ronghua's woman?" ”
Rong Shuang didn't expect her to dare to call King Qin's name, and what she cared about seemed to be a little different from what she thought, she said carefully: "I'm just a little concubine in King Qin's mansion, not a concubine of King Qin, it is Rong Shuang's blessing to be able to serve His Royal Highness, and Rong Shuang doesn't dare to have extravagance." ”
"Concubine? Side concubine? Yan Xining suddenly laughed, but the smile was even more ugly than crying, her body trembled, and her steps left messily, as if she had suffered a great stimulus.
"Girl, this person is so strange that he left so inexplicably? What does the girl do to talk to her? Lingyu said dissatisfied.
"Lingyu, do you know who you just offended? The jade pendant that the girl was carrying was His Royal Highness's red jade peony, if it wasn't for His Highness's beloved woman, how could His Highness give her such a valuable thing! Rong Shuang frowned, with a faint uneasiness in her heart!
Lingyu's face changed greatly when she heard this, and she said with a sad face: "Then, then I just talked to her like that, she must be angry, girl, I'm going to chase her and apologize to her, do you think this is okay?" Your Highness will kill me if he finds out. ”
"No need." Rong Shuang said in a deep voice: "Let's go back to the palace immediately, don't mention to anyone that we have seen her, understand?" ”
"But what if the girl complains to His Highness?" Lingyu said with a crying voice.
"Your Highness has just left, and when Your Highness comes back, that girl may have forgotten about today's events a long time ago, and besides, there are ten concubines in the palace, Your Highness himself can't tell who is who, you listen to me, let's go back first, you remember, don't talk to anyone about it!"
