Chapter 057: Unraveling the Fog (1)
In the next few days, Jian Ning didn't see Wu Shi, and he also retired from Huayuwu's room. Jian Ning guessed that he probably went to Lingsui.
In today's Shiwei Garden, the business can be regarded as reaching its peak, and it is impossible to go to the next level, and Jian Ning rarely comes forward to take care of things, at most he only checks the account books at the end of the month.
Now she is not short of silver, but her life is actually not comfortable.
During this period, Long Zeye came once, but Jian Ning didn't see him.
Now that more than a month has passed since Bingchen's incident, Ye Yan and Banyun have made a great contribution to this incident, not only successfully confusing Bingchen, but also completing an excellent job in clearing the remnants of Binglan in the future.
As for the imperial court, Long Zeye also took advantage of this incident to come to a complete purge, and the people represented by Zhuang Tiancheng who were disobedient were either beheaded or exiled.
And several heroes led by Dong Yi were either awarded or rewarded. She didn't have much interest in listening to other people's things, but Dong Yi's things made her listen.
I had heard Ye Yan say before that Dong Yi was cultivated by Long Zeye, and he was originally an important chess piece that Long Zeye placed in the sixth department.
This time, thanks to the fact that he won over the military department in advance, Zhuang Tiancheng and others would not be allowed to completely control the government, and only then could the situation of confrontation between the two parties be formed.
But at the end of the reward, Dong Yi didn't ask for anything, just asked for a holy decree to give marriage.
In the end, he got what he wanted, married Yuyun, and the wedding date was scheduled for the ninth day of March after the beginning of spring. Also, listen to what Qing Zhi said. As Yuyun's dowry, the emperor rewarded a mansion with 100 hectares of fertile land, 100 horses of silk, and 10,000 taels of silver.
According to Yuyun's identity, these rewards have actually passed, but this can be regarded as a reward given to Dong Yi by Long Zeye in disguise.
On this day, Jian Ning was trying to make wine with plum blossoms in the backyard of the Food Garden, but she didn't expect a person to come.
When the shopkeeper came to her, she even wondered if she was dazzled.
"Aunt Hebi is not waiting by the side of the Queen Mother, how can she have time to come here?" Jian Ning asked lightly.
For the people in the Empress Dowager's palace, Jian Ning could not be disgusted. But it didn't like it either.
The Empress Dowager is a typical person in power. She has always had only the country in her heart, and it can even be said that that is the whole of her life.
Aunt Hebi didn't care about Jian Ning's attitude, after all, she was still a mother, and now she was no longer in the palace. There is no need to be polite to yourself at all.
". It was the Empress Dowager who asked the slaves and maids to invite you into the palace. There is something important to talk about. Aunt Hebi bowed slightly and bowed to Jian Ning.
Jian Ning sat on the stone bench, did not help Hebi, and did not speak immediately. Instead, he looked at Hebi for a while.
The Empress Dowager's health is not good, and after the Binglan incident, I am afraid that the oil has run out, and the time is running out, so it is probably not a good thing to specially summon herself at this time.
Seeing that Jian Ning had not responded, Aunt Hebi saluted again, raised her voice slightly, and said again: "Concubine Yi, the Empress Dowager Yizhi, announce your entry into the palace." ”
Jian Ning frowned slightly, she didn't like such a coercive thing, but she also knew that with her current status, she couldn't really ignore anything.
got up and straightened her clothes, Jian Ning said lightly: "Auntie, wait a while, let me change my clothes." ”
Originally, Jian Ning would call herself "Bengong" in front of people who were not close to her, but now, she has long been reluctant to return to that palace, and she also wants to take off this identity.
"Please hurry up, don't let the Queen Mother wait for a long time." When Aunt Hebi heard this, she immediately nodded and said.
Jian Ning went back to the room and changed into clothes that would not be rude, took Xiaozhu and Qingzhi, and got into the carriage.
Along the way, Jian Ning never said a word, let alone asked Aunt Hebi what the summons of the Empress Dowager was.
Compared with Jian Ning's indifference, Xiao Pearl and Qing Zhi are not so calm. Xiao Pearl hadn't really entered the Yuanchu Palace since she followed Jian Ning, and she was waiting outside the palace gate every time.
And Qing Zhi was naturally worried that the Empress Dowager suddenly summoned Niangniang, afraid that something was going to happen, and she thought about whether to do her best to inform the emperor.
After arriving at the palace gate, he directly changed the chariot sent by the Empress Dowager's palace and went all the way to Ningshou Palace.
This time, the Empress Dowager was not in the Buddha hall, but lying on the bed in the dormitory.
Jian Ning stepped forward and saluted respectfully, although she was unwilling, but these superficial efforts still had to be done.
In fact, there is no need to look at the face of the Empress Dowager, seeing her lying on the bed and seeing herself now, Jian Ning already knows in her heart that what she expected before is true, and the Empress Dowager's time is running out.
"Go down, all of you." The Empress Dowager glanced at Jian Ning and said weakly at He Bi and the others.
Seeing this, Jian Ning also gestured to Qingzhi and Xiaozhu behind her, and asked them to wait outside.
This kind of situation is already commonplace for Jian Ning, these people either don't see themselves, and if they are willing to take the initiative to see themselves, they must have something to say that they can't let people know.
"Do you know why the mourning family has always had a bad impression of you, or is very repulsive to you?" The Empress Dowager leaned on and looked at Jian Ningdao.
"Is it because of my great disrespect to the emperor during the God of Food Competition? Or is it because the emperor of the entire harem is favored by me? Or is it because the emperor has repeatedly disobeyed the queen mother for me? Jian Ning stepped forward slightly, looked at the Empress Dowager and said indifferently.
She stepped forward not to provoke, but because the Empress Dowager's voice was too weak, and if she didn't get closer, she really couldn't hear it clearly.
"It turns out that you know all the things you did yourself." The Empress Dowager's sick face showed a hint of sarcastic smile, "But what you said is just a trivial matter, the mourning family once said that it is also your ability to win the emperor's favor, and the mourning family will not say anything." ”
The Empress Dowager's words fell, but looking at Jian Ning's gaze, she suddenly became full of disgust, and even had a trace of hatred, and said coldly: "The most hated thing about the mourning family is actually this face of yours!" ”
Jian Ning was a little puzzled at first, but then she suddenly realized the problem, and her brows furrowed suddenly.
"This face of yours looks so similar to the face that the mourning family hated the most in their life, like the mourning family didn't want to look at you again when they first saw you in the Garan Temple. But not only did you appear, but you actually entered the palace and became the woman on the tip of the emperor's heart! ”
Recalling the first time she saw the Empress Dowager in Jialan Temple, Jian Ning didn't look at her much because she was too scared, but she didn't show it too obviously at that time, which shows how well she was hidden. (To be continued......)
