Chapter 54: I Promise You
Ning Ge was silent for a long time, but he clenched the half of the phoenix jade in his hand tighter and tighter, Ke's palm hurt, and he refused to let go of his hand when he was already drenched in blood in a moment.
The surprise when he first saw Huang Jiu, although there was a lot of help later, he couldn't offset the uneasiness in Ning Ge's heart. Ning Ge rushed to sorrow for his sixth sense, when did he lose his humanity and let his feelings decide?
Seeing this, Yuqing hurriedly pulled away Ning Ge's palm, and carefully wiped the blood in Ning Ge's palm with a handkerchief: "Niangniang, if you are embarrassed, you should not be a slave." ”
Ning Ge shook his head, as if he didn't feel the slightest pain in his palm, and bowed his head and whispered, "I promise you." ”
Yuqing was stunned, and Zhaoyue was also stunned.
After all, Calling the Moon was more distressed: "Niangniang, the Huang family is a person that the emperor has to be afraid of." You are alone in Fengling Country, you can't hit a stone with an egg! ”
Ning Ge didn't laugh angrily, her eyes began to turn red when she smiled, and she looked directly at Yuqing: "You believe that I can subvert the Phoenix family, and I believe it too." Then he turned to the moon: "Wouldn't it be better to be alone and have no scruples?" ”
A trace of blood suddenly rose on Yuqing's jade face, her eyes shone brightly, and she slid off the stool with great gratitude and knelt in front of Ning Ge: "Niangniang's kindness today, Yuqing should repay her life and death." ”
"All I want is the life of that Huang Jiu. It has nothing to do with you. ”
Ning Ge got up and pushed the doors and windows open, and after the rain, it was as if nothing had happened. She knew that there would be no homicides of one hundred and thirty-seven people tomorrow, and no one would remember that one of her little concubines had recently killed her closest maid, and no one would remember the child who had died before she was born.
This qiē is too small for this palace, let alone for this world?
Everyone in this world has their own duties, but Ning Ge has never felt so small, such feelings spread, and there is no reason for Ning Ge to feel a burst of sadness in her heart.
Stronger, she needs to be stronger......
It was night, Ning Ge couldn't sleep peacefully after tossing and turning, and suddenly a black shadow flashed in, Ning Ge subconsciously stood up, but was suddenly held down by a warm hand: "It's me." ”
The breath was warm, blowing between Ning Ge's neck, Ning Ge instantly regained his momentum, looked at the spacious and unsightly big bed, and moved a little bit to make room inside.
It's Feng Yufei, maybe he's been running around all day today, and he's busy trying to suppress the news. The originally deep eyes were already full of exhaustion at this time, the long shirt was half-open, and there was a smell of ink inside and out.
Feng Yufei unceremoniously lay on his side, took the quilt and covered it: "Sleep." ”
Ning Ge wanted to ask something, but when he turned around, he saw that Feng Yufei had closed his eyes. He probably slept so quietly, in a state of awakening at all times, lying on his side with his arms propped under his head, and from a distance it seemed as if he had been talking to you.
Before, Ning Ge was more or less disgusted with Feng Yufei, high and not doing his job, there were three thousand beauties in the harem, and many people had to be sent out every year.
It was only when I got close to Feng Yufei that I found out how many opportunities were hidden behind those cares, and I tried my best.
Ning Ge stretched out his hand to support Feng Yufei's neck, but he didn't expect him to wake up in a moment, and his probe pinched Ning Ge's wrist, and suddenly opened his eyes. It was only after concentrating that he saw that it was Ning Ge that he suddenly relaxed.
"What's wrong?"
Ning Ge frowned, shook his pinched wrist and said angrily: "Aren't you tired of sleeping like this?" ”
Feng Yufei thought about it, put down his arm and took Ning Ge and lay down on his back to sleep, Ning Ge struggled slightly, Feng Yufei held down: "Don't move, let me rest for a while." ”
For some reason, Ning Ge suddenly fell silent.
Feng Yufei closed his eyes with satisfaction, and when the atmosphere was quiet, he suddenly said, "Tomorrow, I will lay off people to go to the temple." You go with me. ”
It was to accompany him.
Ning Ge never had an heir, but he was not expelled from the palace in the end.
She let out a long sigh of relief, Feng Yufei paused, and patted Ning Ge on the shoulder to show comfort.
This night was unexpectedly stable, Ning Ge never dreamed, but when he woke up in the morning, he didn't see Feng Yufei. If it weren't for the fact that the pillow on the bed was still in the shape of someone who had slept with it, Ning Ge would have thought that she was just a dream.
Feng Yufei thoughtfully pulled down the curtain for Ning Ge, and as soon as Ning Ge turned over, he heard the moon outside the curtain and whispered: "Niangniang, it's time to get up." The emperor ordered that he should go to the temple today to make incense. Everyone in front of you is all here, just waiting for you. ”
Ning Ge was clever, and hurriedly got up from the bed and walked out of the tent in three or two steps: "The person in front? ”
Zhao Yue bent her eyebrows and smiled: "Congratulations to Niangniang, there is no Niangniang's name in the concubines cut today." The emperor still wants to take his mother out of the palace, isn't it a thousand graces? You must know that only the mothers above the concubine can go together. ”
Ning Ge was stunned in her heart, remembering that before she fell asleep last night, Feng Yufei said that she was going to the temple to make incense today, and asked her to go with her.
After a moment of thought, he asked, "Are there any strange people in front of you today?" ”
Calling Yue thought for a while: "It's just that we know about the Lin family, in order to attract the attention of the people, this time the sacrifice to enter the incense used a big pomp, and even Qi and the princess also went." ”
Ning Ge repeated those words in his mouth: "Qi and Princess? ”
Who is it?
Not at all impressed.
At this time, Yuqing came in and said with a smile: "The palace sacrifices and incense have always been accompanied by the queen mother, and it is customary to ask for the company of an unmarried princess." Princess Qi and Princess are the emperor's own sister, eighteen years old, and have not yet left the cabinet. It is customary to not come out often in the princess's mansion, and after so many years, I am afraid that I will forget the princess's appearance. ”
Calling the moon said: "Yes, I heard that Qi and the princess are the best in Fengling Kingdom. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, smart and virtuous, and is a strange woman. It's just a pity for such a strange woman...... Alas......"
Ning Ge raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong with the strange woman?" ”
As soon as Zhao Yue was about to speak, he saw Changyan hurriedly running over from outside: "Niangniang, the time has come." The sedan chair was already waiting outside. ”
Changyan seemed a little surprised when he saw Yuqing, and quickly lowered his head. Yuqing pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but before she could speak, she heard Ning Ge say, "Yuqing go with you." Now that you are in my palace, I must always bring one or two people to serve. ”
Yuqing nodded, and went out with Ning Song in her arms.
The palace was extremely busy, and Ning Ge took Yuqing out with a very high rate of return. The Queen Mother seems to have acquiesced to the current situation of Yuqing, and has never come to the Changge Hall to ask for someone, and everyone can't think about the Queen Mother's mind for a while, how could the Yuqing girl who was beside the Queen Mother in the past come together with Ning Concubine Niangniang overnight, and the Yuqing girl looks very respectful, and she is still the posture of a big girl.
The relationship between Ning Ge and the Queen Mother has always been tense, and there is a tendency to be out of control, but now the situation has changed color, and people can't figure it out for a while.
In addition to the gate of the harem, Ning Ge and the others changed into carriages and slowly overtook the team walking at the back.
At this time, the large team had already started, and Ning Ge was about to rush to the front of the concubine team, and was overtaking the group of palace women walking on foot at the back of the team.
Out of the palace gate, they are no longer the ladies who call for wind and rain in the palace, but a group of poor women like prisoners, and even officers and soldiers escort, they can't take a sedan chair, they can only hike all the way up the mountain.
Along the way, some of the expelled people hugged their heads and cried, and some were as indifferent as water, but all of them were as dead as ashes. Looking at it, there were hundreds of people.
How many beauties does this phoenix want to enter every year? In the past three years, it doesn't count just looking at the bedside, and after three years, they will be expelled into the temple, and if they meet Qinggao and arrogant, they will lose their lives as Qiu Shao said.
It's really a waste of the youth of these girls.
It's just that the status of women in this world is nothing, and there are countless women who are treated as victims of politics like her, how lucky she is to be able to get back Yicheng to stay in the deep palace in the end, and she can still save her life.
She's just about to be one of the people on this fateful journey.
If Qiu Shao hadn't died, how would she be happy?
Yuqing lowered the curtain and said quietly: "There must be such a tragedy every three years. Niangniang doesn't have to mind, these are just useless women in the court or in the harem. It's only a matter of time before they're eliminated. If you want to be high, you always have to pay a price. If you were only content to be a little maid when you entered the palace, where would there be such a disaster? In the final analysis, it is the human heart that is too greedy. ”
Calling the moon also said: "Yes." When the Yuqing girl entered the palace, she was also in the position of the mother, but she was willing to serve the queen mother, and now she is blessed by the queen mother, and she is fortunately well. ”
Ning Ge was stunned in her heart, secretly thinking that Yuyue didn't know that Yuqing was the emperor's sister, and as soon as she said such words, Yuqing didn't know how sad she was.
Yuqing just stared at the embroidered shoes under her feet with some amazement, and muttered, "Yes, fortunately, I'm fine." ”
When the Lin family was destroyed, she was not in the Lin Mansion, so she was naturally fine.
But what is the exchange for such a good thing?
The bitter story in this is only known to Yuqing herself.
Ning Ge looked up at Yuqing and said, "Back then, should you really marry the emperor?" ”
Yuqing's face stiffened, and she said meaningfully: "Fortunately, I never married." It's just that the slave and maid can't escape that fate after all, and for the sake of this child, they have to marry after all. ”
Zhaoyue didn't understand it when she heard it, but she knew that Yuqing was pregnant, so she calmed down after a little surprise, and looked at her master Ning Ge with some pity.
She is not a fool, and she can also see the clues between Ning Ge and Yuqing.
Yuqing is going to marry the emperor sooner or later, so she and Concubine Ning will stand on opposite sides sooner or later. Such a two-hearted person is now standing on the opposite side, can he really deal with the Phoenix family?
"...... The slave maid is worried about ......," Sumyue said suddenly.
Ning Ge seemed to know what Calling Moon was going to say, and patted Calling Moon's hand with a smile: "Don't worry, the tree is big and has deep roots, but there are always moths." Perseverance can always shake the foundation. ”
Yuqing nodded: "As long as you shake Huang Jiu, the eight sons of the Huang family are nothing." ”
Zhao Yue just wanted to speak, but the sedan chair stopped for a moment, and a sleeve-length hand reached out outside to open the curtain, and Ning Ge looked at it, it was Changyan who lifted the curtain, and the one standing outside was Feng Yufei, who was wearing a dragon robe and jade crown.
"Come out." Feng Yufei was a little cold, not seeing the gentle tiredness when she was alone, Ning Ge paused slightly, raised her eyes, and caught a glimpse of the Queen Mother who was sitting around not far away looking at her coldly......
