Chapter 108: Discord
Shangguan sighed and said with some grievances, "If I could stop it, I wouldn't have come to this point now." β
These words, I said that I was very helpless, and unintentionally, it also made Princess Yongning hate Ning Liuying very much, she killed two birds with one stone in the end, but her face was still silent, and she couldn't see what she was thinking in her heart.
"Sister, you don't have to hurt yourself for such a woman, since she treats you like this, Yongning will definitely be on the same front as you, and she will never let people bully your sister."
Princess Yongning and the crown princess have had a childhood friendship since childhood, and because her mother's surname is Shangguan, so for so many years, only Shangguan can be called a confidant and friend in the palace.
"Okay, now that the palace is used to it, I just want the East Palace to be stable, and I want nothing else, as long as I can be by His Royal Highness the Prince's side, it's okay to suffer."
Having said that, the crown princess was also disdainful of Ning Liuying in her heart, if it wasn't for the woman who blocked the road in front of her, at this time, she would definitely not have such thoughts.
"Sister, don't be presumptuous, as long as you give Yongning a chance, she will never let Ning Liuying go!" As he spoke, he looked at Ning Liuying with resentful eyes, as if he was going to devour her alive, but soon, Princess Yongning's expression remained as usual, as if nothing had happened just now.
Ning Liuying couldn't help but shudder, always feeling that she was being stared at by a pair of eyes behind her back, and Shuqin on the side took the opportunity to say, "Concubine Niangniang, have you and Princess Yongning taken over the grudge?" β
Ning Liuying said puzzledly, "What do you mean by this, why don't I understand?" β
Shuqin said bluntly, "When Princess Yongning was talking to the crown princess just now, her eyes kept looking at us, and those eyes were eager to eat us, and the mother was also relieved, but she didn't notice it." β
Ning Liuying smiled silently, in fact, she felt it, but more is better than less.
"Ignore it, alright, have some snacks."
Saying that, Ning Liuying secretly took out a piece of dim sum and put it in Ning Liuying's hand, looking at her appearance, Shuqin also felt that she should not delve into it, took the dim sum and took a bite, she said to Liuying in surprise.
"Niangniang, the palace of Shangshu Mansion is really delicious!"
Ning Liuying didn't speak, but secretly agreed with this in his heart, although anything in the East Palace was something that people outside couldn't ask for, but the food made by the chef in the East Palace, Liuying didn't like it very much, this cook in Shangshu Mansion had such a skill, it was really surprising.
"Shuqin, I have something to ask you, didn't you just say that the princess of Shangshu is a woman in the prime of her life? But with such a big age gap between the two, how could they come together, isn't it a friend who has forgotten the year? Ning Liuying asked curiously.
Shuqin shook her head and explained, "But it's not like what Niangniang said, they are not friends who have forgotten the year, I heard that Lord Shangshu eloped with someone else in the early years, and that year Lord Shangshu only reached the year of the weak crown, and it became a joke in the capital, so many years, although there are many concubines in Shangshu Mansion, but there is no hostess, even the first lady is given by the emperor to marry, but unfortunately she is unwell, she is seriously ill, and she died." β
Ning Liuying suddenly became interested, "Then what about later, why did Lord Shangshu marry the Yanran girl from the Drunken Xiangfang?" β
Ning Liuying cares more about Zhou Guo's affairs than anyone else, the more she knows, the more beneficial it is to herself, instead of always being in a passive position.
"I heard that today's lady used to be the head of the drunken fragrance shop, Lord Shangshu saw that she looked like a fiancΓ©e when she was young, so she married into the door, everyone thought that it was just one greedy for beauty, and the other person was greedy for money, but they were all right with each other, and after two years, gradually, the people in the capital forgot about it, if it weren't for the fact that Lord Shangshu was old and showed his age, no one would know the identity of the Yanran girl."
Ning Liuying suddenly remembered the girl in red who she had seen at a banquet in the palace, she was so beautiful that she was unforgettable, no wonder Lord Shangshu was so fond of her.
"Some things, although they seem strange, but sometimes feelings have always been like this, and they can't be explained." Ning Liuying sighed, with a smile on her face.
Shuqin beside her couldn't help but say, "So what does the side concubine think, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats you very well, but I don't know what the side concubine thinks." β
"Okay Shuqin, so far, there are some words, I don't want to say more, this is not our Penglai Pavilion, don't say it."
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, in fact, Liuying just didn't want to tell the truth, she has been very vigilant recently, in order to prevent someone from doing things behind her back, after all, there are not a few such people.
"I've seen the side concubine."
Ning Liuying was in a daze, and suddenly heard Aunt Su Jin's voice, Shuqin said softly, "I'm afraid that the crown princess sent Aunt Su Jin to deliver wine." β
Looking at the wine in Aunt Su Jin's hand, Liuying raised her eyebrows, and she said unhappily, "What is Aunt Su Jin doing?" β
"On the orders of the crown princess. Come to give wine to the side concubine, this is the only kindness of the mother, I think you must be grateful to the princess in your heart, right? β
Ning Liuying couldn't refute what she said, she frowned, and refused a little unhappily, "Thank you for your kindness, Liuying has a new collar, but Liuying is not strong enough to drink, and she has failed her mother, and she also asks Aunt Su Jin to forgive her sins." β
Aunt Su Jin didn't expect Ning Liuying to say this, and she said with great displeasure in her heart, "Concubine Niangniang, is this trying to live up to Niangniang's wishes?" Please don't embarrass the slaves, the princess said that she would see the maid drink it in person. β
Ning Liuying was stalemate and did not move, but she was very unhappy in her heart, if it weren't for the Shangshu Mansion here, she would have been angry a long time ago, not to save some face for the prince, but the princess was really dissatisfied with her, and she didn't even miss the opportunity to embarrass her at this time, it seems that the two of them, if they want to be good, it is absolutely impossible.
Not far away, a line of sight fell on Ning Liuying's body, and King Zhennan was thoughtful, and a trace of worry crossed his eyes.
Xuan Ling couldn't help but say on the side, "The prince is worried about Miss Liuying, but now that she is another concubine, the prince is still ......."
King Zhennan glanced at Xuan Ling unhappily, "The affairs of this palace are not allowed to be talked about, shut up for this king." β
"Okay, lord, my subordinates will never say much."
Xuan Ling was a little aggrieved, followed the gaze of his own prince, and fell on Ning Liuying, he secretly sighed in his heart, he was worthy of being the person that the prince fancied, but unfortunately the two of them were by no means the same world!
