Chapter 073: Concubine Rou (1)
"Get up, don't be polite." Jian Ning immediately gave a handful of help and said, "Since Brother Chen asked you to protect my safety in the future, then you can stay by my side well."
"Ning'er, don't underestimate Ah Hai, he can not only protect your safety!" Bingchen smiled mysteriously and said, "You will naturally show you in the future, Ahai's benefits."
Jian Ning didn't ask Bingchen, and said with a slight smile: "How long will it take to arrive?"
"According to the current voyage, it will take about ten days at the earliest, and after arriving at the shore, it will take three days to take a carriage to reach Yuanchu Kyoto." Bingchen Road.
Only then did Jian Ning realize that she was so far away from that land.
Inside the gazebo in the garden of Fengyi Palace
Concubine Rou sat in front of Leling a little overwhelmed, and looked at Leling's direction with the afterglow of her eyes from time to time.
was suddenly summoned here, Concubine Rou never thought of it. After all, in the harem, everyone knows that the queen never takes the initiative to entertain guests.
Concubine Rou didn't dare to act rashly, and she hadn't opened her mouth since she came in, except when she opened her mouth when she saluted just now. When I was at home, my mother taught me that I could live longer if I could control my mouth in the palace.
"Sister Rou doesn't have to be so nervous, this palace is looking for you today, mainly because there is something I want to discuss with my sister." Le Ling put down the teacup, with a hint of a smile on her face, and said in a soft voice.
Although she doesn't want to pay attention to the affairs of the harem, it doesn't mean that she can't do it. If you want to talk about the darkness and viciousness of this harem, perhaps no one can have a deeper understanding than her.
"The concubine doesn't dare to be, what teachings does the queen have, even if she speaks, the concubine will definitely listen attentively." Concubine Rou hurriedly lowered her head and said.
Le Ling looked at Concubine Rou. said lightly: "Presumably, my sister has heard more or less the whispers about the emperor and Concubine Yi in the hall, and as the queen, this palace can't ignore it. Therefore, this palace wants to have my sister go to serve the emperor tonight, so that the emperor will no longer be obsessed with Concubine Yi."
When Concubine Rou heard this, she was startled, the cup in her hand almost overturned, and she looked at Le Ling in disbelief and said, "Queen Mother. Although the concubine also wants to serve the emperor. But the emperor may not be willing to let the concubine serve, after all"
Concubine Rou didn't say the next words, but Le Ling guessed what she wanted to say. Take a sip of tea. Said slowly: "Sister rest assured, the palace will arrange a good arrangement, but whether or not you can keep the emperor's heart in the end depends on my sister's own ability."
"Niangniang's great grace, the concubine should be remembered in her heart." Concubine Rou immediately got up when she heard this. Thankfully bowed to Leling.
She thinks she is from a famous family, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although his appearance is not overwhelming, he is not weak to others. But in the harem for a few months, he has been suffering from not being favored by the emperor. I thought that this life would be just like this, but I didn't expect that there would be a queen to help now.
"You go back and get ready. When the time comes, a sedan chair will come to pick you up." Seeing that this side had been arranged, Le Ling waved his hand.
"Yes. The concubine retired first." Concubine Rou walked out of Fengyi Palace with a smile on her face.
"Princess, why did you choose Concubine Rou? Her appearance is outstanding. But it's too regular, and such a woman may not be able to attract the emperor." Feng Zi looked at the figure of Concubine Rou leaving, and whispered beside Le Ling.
"What I'm looking for now is not a woman who can attract the emperor, but a woman who the emperor can't move even if he is angry." The corners of Le Ling's mouth smiled slightly.
As long as Jian Ning is here, no matter what kind of woman she is, I am afraid that she will not be able to arouse Long Zeye's interest. So what she is looking for is a woman with a strong background, a woman that Long Zeye doesn't dare to dispose of at will.
Originally, Concubine Yuan was the best candidate, not to mention that General Zhenguo was a veteran of the three dynasties of Yuan Chu, and her status was very important. Let's just say that Concubine Yuan and Long Zeye had a relationship before, although I don't know how much of Long Zeye is true in the middle.
But it's a pity that Concubine Yuan is too arrogant, and she may not be willing to accept her own help, or accept her own way. In order to settle for the next best, I had to choose Concubine Rou.
"Do you know what Concubine Yi is doing now?" Le Ling asked as she walked towards the house.
"Back to the princess, Concubine Yi is now in the imperial study with the emperor." Feng Zi replied lightly.
"The Imperial Study?" Le Ling muttered, and then ordered, "Immediately order the imperial dining room to prepare a cup of snow clams and send it."
"Yes, the slave maid will let people go to the imperial dining room to spread the word." Feng Zi nodded and walked out.
The degree of the imperial dining room was very fast, and it took about a stick of incense to send someone to deliver it.
Le Ling asked Feng Zi to take the food box with him, and then he went out of Fengyi Palace and went directly to the imperial study.
Along the way, Feng Zi has been a little worried, but he has never spoken. After this time, there is no doubt that the princess will come to a very dangerous point, not to mention how the emperor will react after he knows it, that is, Concubine Yi Niangniang will probably also form a bond with the princess.
Le Ling didn't waste much effort when she entered the imperial study, after all, as the queen, Long Zeye still couldn't block her from the imperial study.
Entering the imperial study, Le Ling saw Jian Ning standing aside grinding for Long Zeye. Thinking of what Xiahou Yan said before, Le Ling couldn't help but look at her.
Doubtingly, Le Ling's eyes quickly moved away, and after bowing to Long Zeye Yingying, he said: "The concubine heard that the emperor has been working state affairs recently, so she specially stewed a cup of snow clams and sent it to make up for the emperor."
When Long Zeye heard this, he looked up at Le Ling a little strangely, and said lightly: "The queen has a heart. [,! Now, put it down."
When Fan Chengfu heard this, he immediately stepped forward and took the snow clam cup in Le Ling's hand and presented it to Long Zeye.
Jian Ning on the side looked at it, and said with a smile: "The queen mother really has a heart, but the emperor doesn't like sweets, I'm afraid it's going to waste the mother's heart."
Seeing that Jian Ning spoke, Le Ling smiled faintly, thinking that she was in the right place, so she just took this opportunity to try her to see if it was true or false.
Then he said to Long Zeye: "The emperor can rest assured, the concubine is stewed with Sydney pears and is not sweetened. But when it comes to cooking, concubines naturally can't be compared with Concubine Yi. I don't know when Concubine Yi's sister will be free, and the palace should ask my sister for some advice."
Le Ling has been paying attention to Jian Ning's situation, but there is nothing unusual, I saw Jian Ning look at Le Ling, and then said to Long Zeye with a slight apology: "It's a pity that the concubine's body is not fully ordered now, otherwise she must cook for the emperor himself."
Hearing this, Long Zeye stopped the pen in his hand, shook Jian Ning's hand and said, "The most important thing for Ning Er now is to take care of her body, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
When Jian Ning heard this, she immediately smiled happily at Long Zeye.
"Is there something the queen is here for?" Long Zeye looked at Jian Ning for a long time before he remembered Le Ling and asked. (To be continued)
