Chapter Seventy-Four: Do You Still Like Her?
As soon as he entered the palace, he ran to the three palaces and six courtyards, and he went to see the queen, and he went to tie up with the concubines, and a few days ago, he also sent a lot of good clothes to Rong Yuxuan, but Tang Ningnan returned them.
likes to talk and is not pleasant, the queen who has always been gentle and virtuous has no good impression of her, she just can't see it, the high-ranking concubines don't want to see her, she and some little Jieyu beauties get together all day long, chattering all day long about what has happened in the palace recently, but in fact it is just some trivial things.
Although she is just Jieyu, she has never put Zhao Tang's concubine in her eyes, and the verbal provocations at both ends in three days are most likely because she has been in the palace for three or four years but is still a small concubine, and she is not favored by the emperor.
Zhao Tangxi only felt that she was noisy, and he didn't want to deal with her at all, obviously called Song Qingxiu, but the Qingren Palace, which had been noisy, was not peaceful, where was this Qingxiu, but it disturbed Zhao Tangxi's quiet life.
Now it's even more powerful, and he openly seduces the emperor without shame.
"Mother, are you really not going to take a look? The emperor finally came to Qingren Palace once, if she intercepted us, we will have a hard time in the palace in the future. ”
"With Sister Xiao here, what are you afraid of having a bad time?" Zhao Tang regretted mentioning Tang Ningnan, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, although he was not favored, but he had Tang Ningnan to take care of him, and his life was much more comfortable than before.
"Thinking about it, Song Jieyu still doesn't know the emperor's temper, so she is blatantly pretentious." Starmist pouted on the side.
"Let her go, the emperor will be intercepted by him, that is her ability, I can't interfere with anything."
"!" Xingwu stomped his foot vigorously, "The people in the palace are all vying for favor, why don't you care like this when you come back, you won't like ......"
"Shut up." Zhao Tang rarely spoke with anger like this, and Xingwu also realized that he had said the wrong thing and lowered his head silently.
"We all see the emperor's affection for Sister Xiao, and no matter how much you compete for favor, it's just for the palace people to see, and it symbolizes the emperor's favor." Zhao Tang said slowly, his tone did not fluctuate in the slightest, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew into the room, and the ink yarn flew up, as if it was back to the old days.
When she was squeezing out her shoes when she was attending the temple fair, and sitting helplessly on the side of the road, a man silently put the shoe he had dropped in front of her, and then turned away.
Without too many words to avoid unnecessary embarrassment, Zhao Tang looked at the departing figure blankly, until Xingwu hurriedly found it, and then put on his shoes and left.
There were many people at the temple fair, and the man couldn't be found when he entered the crowd, Zhao Tang regretted a loss in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to go to the temple fair behind.
When she got home, her father was talking to someone, and looking through the screen, wasn't the man who was talking to her the man who picked up her shoes?
Zhao Tangxi's heart seemed to shine with a ray of light. The man had a good appearance and a good expression, and he was talking to his father about something, sometimes grinning toothily, smiling like a spring breeze into his arms, sometimes talking eloquently, refreshing and natural.
His gentle and jade-like temperament planted a seed in Zhao Tangxi's heart and began to take root, but at this moment, she was ashamed but she didn't dare to step out of the screen, and said thank you to him in person.
If she knew that she would soon be dedicated to the emperor by the Zhao family, she would definitely jump out and express her feelings to him at that time.
But it was too late, she hadn't seen the man since that day, and after half a month, she was sent to the palace, and the emperor gave her a little look at her and gave her the position of Jieyu, and she never met again.
I thought that this relationship was buried in my heart like this, and the green leaves that had just grown gradually withered.
Until the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve that year, the fourteenth prince slowly came late and sent a pot of fine wine to the emperor, and Zhao Tang saw the person's appearance clearly from a distance.
She didn't hear what the Fourteenth Prince was saying, but that look and that hearty smile made her very sure that the Fourteenth Lord was the person she met at that time.
Like a long drought and rain, the dried branches and leaves in my heart raised their green heads again, and in turn, they were erased by a touch of gloomy sadness under their eyes.
Later, her father was promoted to an official position in the court, and she was also promoted to a concubine.
When the fourteenth prince entered the palace, she deliberately created an opportunity to meet him, hinting at whether he still remembered the past, but he didn't seem to remember it at all, and respectfully called him a concubine.
Zhao Tang showed a wry smile, watching Feng Ji Han go away, concubine Niangniang, a simple title made the relationship between the two of them clear, so that she had no chance at all.
"Little Lord." Xingwu pushed Zhao Tangxi, who was shaking the gods, and signaled that the emperor had come in.
In a trance, through the ink-colored light veil, the emperor looked a little like the fourteenth prince, which made Zhao Tang feel very uncomfortable, because she understood that the person who came would never be Feng Jihan, and she could only bury this feeling in her heart.
"The emperor is blessed with Jin'an." Zhao Tang got up and saluted Feng Fei Han.
"Get up." Feng Feihan waved his hand, signaled Zhao Tang to get up, and walked into the main hall to sit down.
casually picked up a book on the table and read it, it happened to be the piano score that Tang Ningnan asked Bizhu to send.
"The handwriting on it is Xiao Guifei's?" Feng Feihan asked.
"The emperor's eyesight is so good, it was just sent by my sister." Zhao Tang took the tea cup in Xingwu's hand and put it next to Feng Feihan.
"You have lived alone in Qingren Palace for a long time, and now Song Jieyu is still used to moving in."
"Back to the emperor, Sister Song is so lively, she just lived in to be the concubine's companion, and the concubine was very happy." Zhao Tang said with a pity.
Feng Feihan took a sip of tea and looked up at Zhao Tangxi: "I was stopped by her when I came in just now, and I thought that you who have always been quiet would not like her character." ”
"The emperor laughed, they are all sisters when they enter the palace, how can they say that they don't like it."
"Hmm."
Feng Feihan nodded and continued to look at the sheet music in his hand, "I like your quiet personality. ”
Zhao Tang didn't say anything, sat in front of the piano, and began to stroke the piano again, Feng Feihan looked at the piano score, and sometimes pointed out the places that needed to be modified.
Song Jieyu outside the door was directly ignored by Feng Feihan, glanced at the door of the concubine's house viciously, and returned to her house with a scolding.
Hearing the sound of the piano coming from the concubine's house, she was even more unhappy, and smashed a pair of tea bowls on the table, and the maidservant went up to dissuade her and was scolded by her loudly.
Mo'er rushed to Rong Yuxuan with Lin Zhizhou, Tang Ningnan had already fallen asleep in a daze, and Bizhu, who came back from sending the piano score, gently woke Tang Ningnan awake.
"Master, Imperial Doctor Lin is here."
Tang Ningnan got up, only to feel a wave of nausea in his stomach, this feeling, is it?
Hurriedly asked Lin Zhizhou to come forward to check the pulse.
"Niangniang, you are suffering from heat stroke, wait for Weichen to prescribe you a few pairs of medicine to go to the heatstroke, and you will be fine if you drink it." Lin Zhizhou put the handkerchief into the medicine box and was about to prepare a prescription.
"Is it just heat stroke?" Tang Ningnan stopped him and asked.
"Yes, mother, it's a hot summer, you must have been sitting in the attic for a long time before you get heat stroke."
"It turned out to be heat stroke." Tang Ningnan retracted his eyes, his tone a little lost.
"What did you say, mother?" Lin Zhizhou looked at her dim eyes and couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, you go down and prescribe medicine first."
"Yes, Weichen retired."
After Lin Zhizhou left, Bizhu brought a cup of honeysuckle tea, "Niangniang, you drink this, it's best to clear the heat and relieve the heat." ”
"Well, let's put it there for now." Tang Ningnan nodded slightly.
"Niangniang, when the slave maid just came out of the concubine Niangniang today, the emperor went, and it seems that he stayed in the courtyard for a long time before entering the concubine's house."
"Spent a lot of time in the yard?" Tang Ningnan couldn't help but ask, Feng Feihan has always been afraid of heat and sweat, how could he stay outside for so long in this kind of weather.
It seems that Song Jieyu stopped the emperor from going to the concubine's house. When the slave heard the movement and turned back to look, Song Jieyu wore a thin silk shirt and hugged the emperor's arm. Bizhu replied.
"Song Jieyu is only eighteen years old, and she has learned these coquettish styles, have you ever seen it clearly?" Tang Ningnan couldn't help but sigh, she always felt that the ancients were very conservative in her time, and she didn't think that Song Jieyu would use these methods to seduce people when she was only eighteen years old.
"Where do slaves and maids dare to lie, Father-in-law Su and they are not easy to look at directly, they only dare to stare at the ground and dare not raise their heads."
Hearing Bizhu's description, Tang Ningnan could imagine what Song Jieyu looked like, and couldn't help frowning in disgust.
The nausea caused by heat stroke hit again, Bizhu dipped her hands in the cool fairy water given by Imperial Doctor Lin, put it on both sides of Tang Ningnan's temples and gently massaged her.
The cold touch, and the fairy water came from the calm question, which made Tang Ningnan's head not hurt so much, and the frowning brows slowly relaxed.
"Bizhu, you will go to Qingren Palace to spread the word later, Song Jieyu's behavior is frivolous, the fox is charming and confuses the master, and Yu Women's virtue is at a loss, so punish her to kneel in Bodhi Garden and copy the half-menstrual book." Tang Ningnan said with a wink.
"Yes." Bizhu responded, but felt that her master was different from before, more like a noble concubine than before, and knew how to use the power of the six palaces given by the emperor to govern the harem.
For Tang Ningnan, this right is not something she desperately desires, but since Feng Feihan is handed over to her, she will definitely assist the queen to manage the harem for him.
Song Jieyu's actions today were indeed unruly, Feng Feihan actually didn't deal with her abnormally, Tang Ningnan had to take action by herself, but there was still a selfishness in this, she was sorry for Zhao Tang.
Tang Xi has always been reluctant to fight for anything with others, and she can avoid the struggle between concubines, but in the long run, if she has been pressed by this Jieyu, even if she has her own protection, it is difficult to ensure that she is wronged in a place that she can't see, so in order to rectify the crooked atmosphere of the harem, but also for Tang Xi not to be looked down upon in the palace, she must deal with Song Jieyu.
