Chapter 25: Confrontation

In January, today is a bright birthday. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

During this time, Ming Xu came to Fengyi Palace a lot of times, and Qing Ning never refused, accompanied Ming Xu to play chess, stroked the qin, and read quietly on the side when Ming Xu reviewed the folds, but Qing Ning never slept again.

In Fengyang Palace on this day, the sound of silk and bamboo was even more than before, and the congratulatory gifts sent were almost piled up on the table in the front hall.

This was the first time Qing Ning had stepped into Fengyang Palace, and she believed it would be the last.

Soon after entering the hall, Qing Ning saw a bright dress, rose-red inside, a dark red robe with gold silk moire on the outside, and a peacock on the robe was lifelike. Between the buns, there is a very eye-catching five-phoenix golden hairpin.

The appearance of the peacock resembles a phoenix, coupled with the gorgeous tail feathers, it is also known as the "earth phoenix" in the folk, which means the phoenix on the ground.

Bright today's outfit is a hint to everyone that the queen's position will be in her pocket sooner or later? Or do you want to provoke yourself?

Although Qingning is the original match and can wear red clothes, she is no longer a queen, and she can't wear phoenix clothes or phoenix crowns.

Mingmei naturally saw her the first time Qing Ning came in. Qing Ning changed her style today, and a black robe with dark red patterns made her look a little more calm and introverted, flashy without losing her majesty, expensive but dignified.

Everyone's eyes are glued to Qing Ning's body, many people here have not seen Qing Ning for a long time, and some have never even seen Qing Ning. As soon as Qingning appeared, it became the focus.

"Mrs. Ning came here today, this palace is really a little surprised." Mingmei didn't like Qing Ning very much to attract everyone's attention, stepped forward slowly, and said with a light smile.

"Mrs. Zhaohua sincerely invited, if the palace does not come, how can Mrs. perform that good show!" Qing Ning said that the voice was slightly softer.

"Then I hope Mrs. Ning can like the good show specially prepared for you by this palace." The corners of Mrs. Zhaohua's mouth raised slightly, and she personally led Qingning into the seat, and let people serve good tea.

The people who came to Fengyang Palace today to celebrate their birthdays, in addition to the women in the harem, there are also some courtiers' families, you don't have to think about it, you know, these people must be from the faction of King Zhenghou.

It was still early, and there was still more than an hour before the official opening of the banquet, so Mingmei proposed that everyone go to the Yimei Garden in the palace to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms.

Yimei Garden is located in the southwest of the palace, although the area is only one-third of the imperial garden, but it is a unique scenery of the palace in winter, especially after the former king of Western Liao built a snow platform in the Yimei Garden, it has become a frequent place for women in the palace to enjoy in winter.

Although he has lived in the palace for more than two years, Qingning has never been there before. After arriving at Tingxuetai, Qingning realized that the original name of Tingxuetai was "Tai", which was actually "Lou", but it was much higher than the general building in the palace, and there was a huge pavilion-style terrace on the top.

The terrace offers a panoramic view below. It is a unique flavor to climb up and enjoy the plum blossoms in this way, and in a snow-white one, a little red bead is particularly eye-catching.

It's just that Qingning didn't have a chance to relax and enjoy the scenery.

The women who came with them only walked through the motions, stood on the terrace for a while, praised the plum blossoms a few words, and then went into the house with charcoal fires on both sides. After all, no one wants to blow the wind on the terrace all the time.

Before I knew it, there were only Qing Ning and Ming Mei left on the terrace.

It was quiet, and all of a sudden there seemed to be only the sound of the wind blowing.

"Mrs. Ning's injuries seem to have healed well, and there really aren't any scars!" Bright eyes looked at Qing Ning's neck for a long time, and smiled faintly, "On that day, Mrs. Ning relied on that injury to make the palace have a hard time, and she suffered a big loss. You say, how should this palace pay tribute to Mrs. today? ”

"Heh, I'm listening." Qing Ning's face didn't change much, he looked at the front and said lightly.

"This palace has always been clear about good and evil, and I like to treat others the way they do." When the words fell, a dark smile rose at the corner of Mingmei's mouth, she looked down slightly, and said, "If this palace screams at this time and falls from here, what does Mrs. Ning think everyone in the room on both sides will think?" ”

"Naturally, I will insist that it was the palace that pushed Mrs. Zhaohua down from this snow platform. In such a public opinion, in front of the king, no matter what the facts are, I am afraid that this palace will not escape severe punishment. Qing Ning still said in a calm voice, without a trace of nervousness.

"Knowing this, this palace now gives you two options. On the first way, everyone pointed out that you pushed the palace down this listening snow platform, and even if the emperor can save your life, you will not be able to escape the crime of entering the cold palace; On the second way, you leave the palace and pray for the king and your deceased child in the royal temple. "Bright and aggressive.

She originally wanted to put Qingning to death, but her father warned herself many times that now was not the time to take Qingning's life, so she could only remove Qingning from Mingxu's side for the time being, so that she could no longer become a threat to herself.

The words "deceased child" deeply pierced Qing Ning's heart, and also aroused the biggest and deepest hatred in her heart. Qing Ning stared straight at Mingmei for a long time, suddenly smiled brightly, and approached Mingmei word by word: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, this palace chooses the third one." ”

"The third?" Mingmei frowned suddenly, her eyes were full of suspicion, and she just wanted to distance herself from Qing Ning, so that she could see the expression on her face at the moment.

But she didn't want to, Mingmei suddenly felt her hair loosen, and before she had time to react, Qingning had already grabbed her hand and pulled it forward violently.

A strange smile appeared on Qing Ning's face, lightly opened his red lips, and slowly said, "This time, you lost again......"

"Ahh......h You, why...... Why can't it be tolerated....... What about me? ”

Qing Ning's exclamation immediately attracted everyone in the room. When everyone hurried out, they saw such a picture.

Mrs. Ning held Mrs. Zhaohua's arm tightly, and her chest was obviously inserted with the five phoenix golden hairpins that she had worn between Mrs. Zhaohua's buns, and the most important thing was that the golden hairpin was being held in Mrs. Zhaohua's hands at the moment.

Although the black clothes made the blood stains on Qing Ning's chest not so obvious, the blood on Mrs. Zhaohua's hands clearly told everyone that Mrs. Ning was not lightly injured at this moment.

Looking at the people who were stunned on the side, looking at them with surprise, fear, and even some schadenfreude, Mingmei was awakened by electricity. suddenly tried to withdraw his hand, but Qing Ning couldn't let her get her wish.
