Chapter 7: Being Presented
"The concubine met with General Chen here tonight to discuss the birthday gift for the emperor next month."
"Nonsense!" Concubine Hua stood up angrily, "Since it's a birthday ceremony, why did you choose such a hidden place, it has to be the third watch in the middle of the night?" Obviously, I found out that I wanted to come out to deceive the emperor and the palace. ”
"The reason why I chose such a place is because I don't want others to know and want to surprise the emperor, which caused Concubine Hua to misunderstand, and asked the emperor and Concubine Hua to atone for their sins.
If Concubine Hua still doesn't believe it, you can send my palace maid Bizhu to ask, I also have several different plans for preparing birthday gifts for the emperor here, and Concubine Hua Niangniang can check it. Saying that, Tang Ningnan took out a piece of paper from his cuff, on which various plans were clearly written to celebrate the emperor's birthday.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao must have been prepared in advance, just to hide people's eyes, Your Majesty, you can't believe her!" Concubine Hua was a little panicked, but she was still unwilling to let Tang Ningnan go like this.
"Enough, I believe what Concubine Xiao said." Feng Feihan looked at the group of people kneeling on the ground and said.
Tang Ningnan was shocked, isn't this dog emperor usually deep and terrifying? Why is it so easy to believe what she says now?
"Concubine Hua, isn't the last one-month lockdown enough for you to settle down? Chasing the wind all day long, when this harem is a vegetable market? Seeing this, Concubine Hua had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
"I'm tired, Su Ming, go back to the palace" The emperor and his entourage returned to the Chaohui Palace.
As soon as Feng Feihan walked away, Concubine Hua walked up to Tang Ningnan angrily and said viciously: "Do you think that if you can deceive the emperor, you can deceive me?" Let me tell you Tang Ningnan, whoever dares to go against this palace will not end well. ”
"I don't know where the concubine offended the mother, so that the mother is so displeased, if there is anything wrong in the future, please ask the concubine to make it clear." Tang Ningnan lowered his head and saluted to Concubine Hua.
Looking at her humble appearance, Concubine Hua was so angry that her teeth itched, "The more humble you are, the more disgusted I am, but the little princess of the Southern Barbarian Land, I see how long you can jump." Then she turned and left the bamboo forest, as if she was about to crush the floor tiles, and the bamboo branches that stretched out of the garden were also angrily folded back by her.
The two waves of people left, leaving only Tang Ningnan and Chen Zhan, two pairs of masters and servants.
"Nan'er, I'm sorry, I ......"
"Pop" Chen Zhan wanted to reach out to support Tang Ningnan's hand, but he was slapped by it and stopped moving, and before Chen Zhan could come back to his senses, the face on the other side of "Pop" was slapped again.
"The first slap on your mind is impure, dare to covet the emperor's concubines, and treat me disrespectfully; The second slap is not patient enough, because a sentence of the Southern Barbarian thief is enraged, but the safety of tens of thousands of people in Miao Jiang is in vain to try to do something to Prime Minister Sima Cheng's daughter. ”
Before the words of defense could be spoken, Tang Ningnan took Bizhu back to the palace, leaving Chen Zhan, who was at a loss, standing in place.
"Master, are you alright?" Yueji stepped forward, but was angrily reprimanded by Chen Zhan, didn't you see that she was slapped twice? How could it be fine.
Indeed, Sima Shuhua is the beloved daughter of today's prime minister, or the emperor's favorite concubine, if he is angry at her, Sima Cheng will definitely be the first to get along with him, behind him is Miao Jiang, he represents Miao Jiang, his words and deeds are disrespectful, Miao Jiang will suffer because of him.
But he still couldn't bear these two slaps in his heart, he didn't know what had happened in the past year, and now Tang Ningnan seemed to be a completely different person from her in the past.
On the other side, Tang Ningnan walked briskly on the way back to the palace.
"Bizhu, I'm so happy today!"
"The lord frustrated the spirit of that concubine Hua today, and even the emperor helped us speak, shouldn't we be happy, but why did the master just want to beat General Chen, are they really those two reasons?"
Hearing Bizhu ask like this, the smile on the corner of Tang Ningnan's mouth became more and more uncontrollable, "Yes, who let him act recklessly, almost ruined the big thing." ”
In fact, she was happy in her heart, there were so many reasons for that, but they were all nonsense, and it was true that she wanted to beat that scumbag, and she could avenge the original owner of the previous one.
Since then, she is no longer the Tang Ningnan who was only crazy about love.
Thinking of this, she staggered to finish the last part of the way back to the palace, but she didn't know that on the horizontal road behind her, Feng Feihan was sitting on the sedan chair and looking at her through the palace gate, and she smiled with a hint of calculation.
"Your Majesty, do you really believe what Concubine Xiao said?"
Feng Feihan motioned for Su Ming to return to the palace, and said with a wink: "What if you believe it, what if you don't believe it, she is the princess of Miaojiang, now is not the time to move her, you come here."
Su Mingju approached Feng Feihan's side and listened to the task he gave him.
"The minion understands, the minion will do it"
Feng Feihan waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'll go tomorrow." ”
In the early morning of the next day, Tang Ningnan woke up and was already on the sun, and he was shocked, not good, he had to hurry.
"Bizhu, Bizhu." Bizhu outside the door hurriedly came in, "The master is awake, and the slave and maid are waiting for the master to wash." ”
"When is this, why didn't you wake me up sooner."
"But the Lord has always woken up at this time before, is there something going on today, so anxious, today is the tenth day of the first month, there is no need to go to the queen to ask for peace." Bizhu was puzzled.
In this harem, the best person to get along with is the queen.
Concubine Hua is domineering, her mother's family is powerful, and she is used to being rampant in the palace, Concubine Yi has always been attached to Concubine Hua, and she has a seven-trick exquisite heart, and she has a lot of advice behind her.
The concubines don't like to socialize with people, they are timid by nature, they stay in the library all day long to ponder the history books, and the rest of the concubines have no intersection with Tang Ningnan, everyone has only met on major occasions.
is still the queen appointed by the first emperor, she is kind and pure, and she treats the palace people softly and kindly, and she is deeply loved by the palace people.
It's a pity that the heavens are not beautiful, this queen had a serious illness in the second year of Xuanyue, fell ill, and her health has been poor, so she met the daily greetings of the concubines.
"Silly girl, how did we escape Concubine Hua's obviously prepared questioning yesterday? said that it was to prepare a birthday gift for the emperor, but you can't just say it and don't do it, otherwise you will be caught by the annoying spirit of Concubine Hua again. Tang Ningnan hurriedly dressed herself, sat in front of the mirror and asked Bizhu to comb a simple and light bun.
"But the slave maid doesn't understand, wouldn't it be good for the birthday gift to be prepared by the people belonging to the ceremony, why should the lord do it himself?" Bizhu asked as she brushed her hair.
"The etiquette belongs to the left, but we have prepared some rare treasures or something, we don't have the money to let them get anything good? What's more, the etiquette belongs to the chief, but Concubine Hua's cronies, count on them, and when the time comes, my fornication charge will be implemented. ”
