Chapter 44: Concubine Shu
The carriage entered the first palace gate, Rong Ning and Xiao Huaijin got out of the car, and there were already palace people waiting on the side, seeing Xiao Huaijin followed by a girl in her prime, the palace people's faces flashed with surprise, and they quickly returned to calm.
The scenery in the palace is really as good as the outside, along the way, Xiao Huaijin tightly clasped Rong Ning's hand, this action is a taboo among unmarried men and women, but the palace people hang their heads, and no one dares to take a second look or say a word.
When they arrived at the door of Yunying Palace, they stopped, and the little eunuch in the navy blue palace robe saw them coming, went in and came out after making a statement, and said, "Your Majesty is invited." ”
Xiao Huaijin nodded, Rong Ning pressed his heart that was about to jump out, and took many deep breaths to tell himself not to be nervous.
The face is the face of the saint.
Well, it's the world she's seen small.
At the beginning of the new year, all the officials were put back, Yingzong looked at the piles of folds on the case, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch the bridge of his nose tiredly, while Fang's father-in-law helped him massage carefully behind him. Two days ago, a bulletin reported that King Su had set himself up as king in the south, and with the elite and local soldiers who had been taken away from the palace at the beginning, he had enclosed a piece of land in the south and appeared in front of people with a swagger, without the slightest scruples.
He didn't know if he should still be grateful to his younger brother for not directly making himself emperor and setting up another country name or something. However, overnight, Daliang's land was so much less, and the officials who were enclosed all surrendered, and the people lived a relatively peaceful life, without even a trace of resistance, which was disturbing enough.
Seeing Xiao Huaijin and a girl with a good face come in together, kneeling down to say hello, Yingzong gathered his frustration and said, "Raise your head." ”
These words were said to Rong Ning, and when Rong Ning heard this, his body stiffened, but he had already reflexively raised his head. The emperor in front of him was sitting upright, playing with two night pearls in his hands, full of oppressive majesty, but with a spring breeze smile on his face.
At the thought of her unscrupulous scrutiny, she lowered her eyes again. Yingzong's tone was teasing, and he said, "It's not much of a beauty." ”
Although there was no beginning or tail in what she said, Rong Ning reacted immediately, cough cough, she knew that her appearance was not a good posture, and Xiao Huaijin also felt a little arched with a good cabbage, but you don't need to emphasize it.
The keen Yingzong caught the dissatisfaction in her eyes, and admired it in his heart, knowing that the woman his nephew chose was not a coward, and he dared to show his heart in front of Shengyan, which was very good.
"Get up." Yingzong leveled his hand and said lightly.
Rong Ning, who had the rules of the palace or something, said that she really hadn't learned it, and she secretly slandered in her heart, the prince knew that he was facing the saint today, and he didn't even send her a grandmother......
After Rong Ning got up a little awkwardly, her palm was held by Xiao Huaijin, her fingers interlocked, she looked at Yingzong's angry look, and she wanted to shake it off uncomfortably, but was held tighter.
Xiao Huaijin looked at Yingzong without fear: "Ask, Your Majesty will give you a marriage." Then he turned his head, looked at Rong Ning, the contours of his face softened a little, his thin lips opened lightly, and said: "I have a heart-to-heart relationship with Ning Ning, she is the only person on the tip of my heart in this life, except for her, I will never marry again." ”
Rong Ning looked at the self in his eyes who seemed to be a little excited and a little shy, listening to his unreserved confession, he suddenly had the courage to shake him back, as if he could only respond with some more force.
The two of them turned to look at Yingzong together.
Yingzong: "......"
Suddenly, an inkstone was thrown down, and with a "click", Rong Ningxin raised his throat. The best inkstone was smashed in half, and ink splattered all over the floor.
"Come on, get out, go home and wait for the decree." Yingzong waved his hand impatiently, these two bear children were worried about their lifelong events, and they didn't know how to greet them on the first day of the new year.
Until he walked out of Yunying Hall for a while, Rong Ning still hadn't recovered from the previous scene.
Is this agreed, or agreed, or agreed?
She pulled up Xiao Huaijin's sleeve: "Pinch me." "See if I'm dreaming.
Pain came from the side of her cheeks, Xiao Huaijin pinched her face that was still a little baby fat, and her eyes were full of smiles, "The lady wants to marry her husband like this?" ”
"Hmph." In a rare good mood, she didn't care that she was just within the palace wall, hummed a small tune happily, and walked side by side with Xiao Huaijin on the path of the imperial garden.
Maybe God couldn't get used to her cunning little arrogant appearance, and met a dressed lady on a narrow road.
It is not true to say that she is a woman, her face is well-maintained, she can't tell her actual age, a jasper hairpin on her head, her skirt is swaying, and she comes in style.
"Yo, isn't this the son of the world?" Concubine Shu smiled decently, and her eyes flashed after passing over Rong Ning.
Xiao Huaijin just nodded, Rong Ning was still thinking about whether he wanted to salute, so he heard Concubine Shu say: "This is the county lord of Qingyang, right?" ”
was named by her, and Rong Ning had no choice but to respond: "Exactly." ”
The maid standing beside Concubine Shu pointed at Rong Ning and said angrily: "Presumptuous! When I saw the lady, I didn't salute. ”
"Presumptuous!" Xiao Huaijin snorted, her sharp gaze swept over the maid, she immediately lowered her head, was silent, and took a step back.
"Hehe......" Concubine Shu covered her veil and chuckled: "My maid is not sensible, please don't be embarrassed by the county lord." He said to the maid again: "Xiao Tao, excuse the county lord, the county lord is a commoner, and it is normal for those who do not understand this rule." ”
Although there is no mistake in the words, there are needles hidden in the cotton, and every word is fine.
Rong Ning knew that this concubine was Yan Rulin's aunt, and her gaze at her was also a little unkind, and said: "Forget it, no matter how unruly the slave is, isn't it still taught by you, Niangniang, I can't bear it." ”
"You ......" Xiao Tao was angry and wanted to refute, but thought of her unruliness and stopped talking.
"It's not too early, let's go." Rong Ning took Xiao Huaijin's hand as if no one was around, smiled at Concubine Shuran, and passed by them.
Behind her, Concubine Shu's nails pierced tightly into her palms, and her beautiful face flashed a moment of gloom, and she returned to its original state.
It was she who not only injured her Lin'er, but also lost her face, and she actually became the county lord with a monster.
It's still early, she sneered.
"Niangniang......" Xiao Tao called softly with some fear.
"Go, serve the white pear pot with clear sugar that I stewed at the right time, and go to Yunying Palace." Concubine Shu turned to the maid on the other side, and the maid was overjoyed, and quickly responded, for fear that someone would rob her of the job.
Xiao Tao's face was bloody, and she already knew that she had lost face to her mother today, and she was afraid that she would not be able to please her in the future.
