Chapter 48: Provocation
Although Ning Guiyi said that she was very jealous of the Green Jade Bodhisattva, after all, she had already handed it over to the imperial concubine, so naturally she had no reason to open her mouth to ask for it. The weather is getting cooler, but the chrysanthemums in the courtyard are still as elegant and pure as in the past, just an autumn rain fell, and the pieces are delicate and lovely.
Qi'er has been more diligent than ever since that day, but for Qi'er, Ning Guiyi always feels that this slave is hiding something from herself.
On this day, it just so happened that the Invesco people in the Lanlan Pavilion next to him invited Ning Guiyi to go to the Taiye Pond to enjoy the fish, and it happened that Qi'er was sent to the third son's bedroom by himself, so he took the kite with him, although the kite did not follow him into the palace, but he had some prestige in his own incense hall, and the people below also respected her.
Kite's small family, unlike chess, a maid who is used to being a big family, knows that she fights hard by herself, and she is also diligent in her work, but unlike Qi'er, Kite is more able to please Ning Guiyi.
The emperor didn't come these days, and the minions below all had their own thoughts, if it wasn't for the kite to suppress them, maybe they really did something to betray the master. Ning Guiyi naturally likes such people, and she doesn't know about Qi'er's careful thinking, Kite is the person she should trust, not to mention that Qi'er and Yan Qiu of Guerlain Hall are still cousins. Thinking of Yao Tingfei's own hated itchy teeth. But since listening to the queen's words, maybe the imperial concubine didn't know why the emperor let her enter the palace.
"Kite, your clothes are too plain, even the hairpin is an ordinary wooden hairpin, this concubine has the best silk flowers here, you pick, these are all sent by the Internal Affairs Office before, I don't bother to bring it, now you are a powerful person around the concubine, and the concubine promoted you to be the first-class palace maid of the concubine, what do you say?" Ning Guiyi looked at the ordinary clothes of the kite, and said with a smile.
The kite was naturally happy in her heart, and knelt down: "The slave and the maid thank the master for mentioning something, and the slave and maid will naturally obey the master's orders in the future, and there will be no complaints." ”
Ning Guiyi was satisfied, and ordered him to get up: "Now that the chess piece has been sent by the concubine to the third son of the emperor to take care of it, you will be the concubine's person in the future, don't let the concubine down." ”
The kite kowtowed and got up obediently: "The slave and the maid thank the master for his love." ”
Ning Guiyi saw her honest appearance, and felt that it was a pity that such a girl used to do rough work outside, and this promotion must be able to make her loyal.
At this moment, the Invesco people came, the Invesco people Liu entered the palace with Ning Guiyi, and they only got a small position of the waiter back then, and they have finally been promoted by two levels over the years, and it is a coincidence that this Invesco and Ning Guiyi are fellow villagers, Ning Guiyi's mother is the side room, and this Invesco person was also born in the side room, and the two people have the same encounter, so they can naturally get close.
Invescos and maids took the gift to the third prince, Ning Guiyi saw that it was a small tiger hat with exquisite embroidery, very delicate, and repeatedly excused herself: "Sister is too polite, this thing is very delicate, could it be that my sister embroidered it herself?" ”
Invesco nodded: "I don't know if it's suitable or not, my sister's third son is a blessed person, and my sister is also a blessed person." This little tiger hat has the right to be the sister's heart for her sister and the third prince, don't shirk it. ”
Ning Guiyi smiled: "My sister is also a blessed person, unlike my sister who has fallen out of favor, the emperor is afraid that he has forgotten about his sister and Zhong Qian." ”
Insubsea people looked at Ning Guiyi and smiled reluctantly: "My sister and sister entered the palace together, my sister was favored earlier than my sister, and there are three princes by my side, and my sister is still counting on my sister." ”
Invesco's words made Ning Guiyi's heart gradually warm a little, and Ning Guiyi instructed someone to make tea for Invesco: "I can't count on it, but if my sister wants to compete with Yao Concubine for favor, my sister can still help." ”
When Invesco people heard this, they were a little tempted: "Concubine Yao is the daughter of the general of the chariot and cavalry, although the Yao Mansion has declined, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Xue Cainu died inexplicably, which is really chilling." My sister is just the daughter of the little Xiongzhou Sima, how can she compare with Concubine Yao. ”
Seeing that Invesco people bowed their heads, their long eyelashes were like a streamer fan leaving light and shadow on their fair face, which was very moving, Ning Guiyi was a little sour: "My sister is also a beauty, isn't it wronged my sister who has been dormant for so many years." If she can devote herself to the queen's command, the concubine will definitely be just around the corner, and my sister hesitates. ”
Invesco's plain hand picked up the celadon tea bowl, looked at the tea quietly, and said quietly: "The queen is the third prince who has taken a fancy to her sister, and my sister has no identity and no status, so what to compete with Concubine Yao." ”
Ning Guiyi didn't speak, looking at the weak appearance of the Invesco people, she said for a long time: "When the Invesco people first entered the palace, they didn't think so, now Concubine Yao has the imperial concubine, and now you are the queen mother, how can you give birth to a son and a half daughter without competing for favor, not to mention that after the New Year, the show girl entered the palace, what should the Invesco people do?" ”
Invesco breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slowly: "What my sister said is true, but according to my sister, what should I do if I compete for favor?" ”
Ning Guiyi took the coral ring in her hand, this ring was rewarded by the emperor before, because she hadn't worn it for a long time, it was a little old: "Invesco people are people who understand, the palace is boiling, the imperial concubine gave herself a cold medicine, the emperor alienated the imperial concubine after knowing it, and the imperial concubine was able to make Yao Concubine regain favor out of her own interests, you just need to keep fanning the flames in Yao Concubine." ”
Ning Guiyi saw that Jingshun people were full of reluctance: "You are also a person with a title now, how dare she Yao Concubine look down on you, although your background is not as high as that of Yao Concubine, but Yao Concubine's heart sister knows that although she is also ambitious under the wings of the imperial concubine, she embroidered the purse for herself before, but her sister became a scapegoat." ”
Seeing the sentimentality that Ning Guiyi said, Invesco's people said: "That is the case, sister Sister Xie mentions it." ”
Ning Guiyi raised her eyebrows: "Did my sister say anything?" If you're weak, go back quickly, and let's go another day for fishing. ”
Invesco nodded knowingly and left the incense hall.
Ning Guiyi stroked the wrench on his hand: "Liu, I hope you don't disappoint this concubine." ”
The imperial concubine is very idle these days, every day and Jing Shuyi look at the scenery and taste the new tea, although the emperor does not come often, but the days are also leisurely, Princess Shuolan is ten years old, one year older than the emperor's eldest son, very well-behaved, now Shuolan often comes to Chengqian Palace to find Xilan, sometimes he will meet the eldest prince and the second prince, looking at the appearance of the children, the imperial concubine and Yao Concubine are very happy, but when they think of Ning Guiyi in order to snatch the holy favor, deliberately let their children miscarry, both of them think that this person is more vicious than the queen, The queen had a miscarriage because Qiao Molan collided with the queen, but what about Ning Guiyi. The third prince is in the hands of Ning Guiyi, so it shouldn't be very good.
