Forty-five: Concubine Ning
Concubine Ning made a reasonable joke, and Emperor Wu came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "It's you...... I couldn't sleep at night, so I came out for a walk, so I came here, but I love concubine, where did you go if you didn't stay in the palace in the middle of the night? ”
Concubine Ning said with a smile: "Digging lotus seeds, it is said that this year's lotus flowers are growing too well, if you don't take advantage of the evening, you will be robbed by the people in various palaces early tomorrow morning...... Concubine Lian said casually, but in fact, he went to send the information in the palace as usual, although Emperor Wu woke up, and the control of the harem was gradually lifted, but Concubine Ning was not idle, these days recorded the whereabouts of Twilight Linglong, just went to the garden to send the information, and saw Emperor Wu in a daze here, although he was a little afraid that the other party would find out the purpose of his entry into the palace, but he still came up to say hello, after some temptation, it was obvious that Concubine Ning was too worried!
Emperor Wu saw that her answer was so brisk and casual, so he said: "It's good to ask the servants to do such a small thing, why do you do it yourself?" ”
Concubine Ning smiled: "They don't understand, not to mention that the lotus seeds they picked are more interesting...... What's more, when the concubines were young, they often sneaked away to the river to fish, and occasionally doing something like this thought it was a good pastime......"
Emperor Wu asked, "What, do you feel bored in this palace?" ”
"It's okay......"
Concubine Ning said truthfully: "After all, there is only one man in the heart of the concubine, but His Majesty's heart contains all the sisters and sisters in the harem, the world is born, all living beings, and the concubines dare not compare with them......" Concubine Ning lowered her head after speaking, and Emperor Wu sighed: "Yes, there are too many people on the pillow, and there will always be some trouble, this is the sorrow of the emperor, right?" Whoever is cold or warm will be suspicious, and I can't help but think about it, but I am a little surprised, you have always been knowledgeable, and you would say such a thing......"
"Hehe, but the concubine is also a woman!"
Concubine Ning smiled: "It's not early, since Your Majesty is here, why don't you try the concubine's skills?" ”
"Good! Then there is Concubine Lao! ”
Emperor Wu said that he walked into the Feixue Pavilion with Concubine Ning, year after year, year after year, there are always new people here, forcing away the old man, but it is not that Emperor Wu is unkind, he misses the old more than anyone else, but it is only limited to nostalgia, if he really loves Concubine Lian, he will not gouge out her eyes......
The emperor can despise the world because he pampers a person, or he can find a reason to execute him because he dislikes a person, but in the final analysis, it is also his cowardice that he is afraid that the country will be divided by others, because he is the emperor, and he only needs to find a reason to execute the life and death of others at will, and those people still shout the emperor's wise words to please themselves, in the end, there are fewer and fewer people, so they always want to find two seemingly identical flowers in this world, so as to redouble their care for that person, I want to be able to save time with peace of mind, but when you calm down and think about it, you find that there is no need to do it at all, but you have done it again!
Emperor Wu is like this, he was recruited by Concubine Ning into the Feixue Pavilion to sit for a while, only to see Concubine Ning serve him a bowl of steaming lotus seed soup, once Concubine Lotus was also spoiled by herself, when she was tired, she would also give herself a bowl of lotus seed soup, but I have seen a lot, and it seems that the new tricks are not as apt as the smile of the old man......
Seeing that Emperor Wu was silent, Concubine Ning said, "Why did Your Majesty stay still?" But...... The lotus seed soup made by the concubine is not to taste? "Latest
"That's not ......"
Emperor Wu sighed: "It's just that some of them have remembered the past, and when people are old, they will always miss the old ......."
Concubine Ning said: "There is nothing at all, Your Majesty Dragon Spirit and Tiger, how can you grow old?" The concubine helped His Majesty press it, you are just too tired, rest and rest, you will get better! Concubine Ning said that she walked behind Emperor Wu to massage her temples, and the two were tired of going to Wushan for a while, but the sudden sharp pain in Emperor Wu's chest made him have to calm down the interest he had just raised, and at this time on the bed, Concubine Ning asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Ahem...... No problem! ”
Emperor Wu said: "It seems that I am really old, forget it today...... You and I will talk like this, your grandfather Zhang Taiwei is my old minister, if it weren't for that incident, you might not have to be down, Ling Zun is good now? ”
Concubine Ning said: "It's still the same, grandpa left a legacy before he died, the descendants of the Zhang family are not allowed to be officials, I don't know if the brothers and sisters of other uncles obey, anyway, my father has always been responsible for running the butcher shop rice shop, in fact, this is good, at least it will not be hated by other sisters in the palace because of this!" ”
"Oh? You can see it freely! ”
Emperor Wu gently stroked her hair and sighed: "You know, it is almost difficult to walk for a long time without power in this palace, you really don't want to ask you, what do you want from here for your Zhang family?" "In Emperor Wu's view, Concubine Ning is different from most people, but she has fought all her life, and all kinds of women have seen it, women like her are like the former Lotus Concubine and Concubine Hua, she has no power, and she can occasionally talk about her heart, such a person is the most suitable lover, but it is limited to this, and it seems that it is natural for men to pay for their mistresses, besides, Emperor Wu does not think that a woman like this, who is more than forty years younger than himself, will really fall in love with himself, this is all!
Concubine Ning smiled and said: "Your Majesty can come to see the concubines from time to time, and the concubines will be satisfied, and serving the emperor is the duty of the concubines, and the concubines don't dare to ask for any rewards, but this Feixue Pavilion is a little deserted, and the concubines ...... I want to liven up this place! ”
Concubine Ning pursed her lips and lowered her head shyly, Emperor Wu smiled: "I'm afraid it's impossible to be lively, but if you really like children, I can hand over the little prince to you to raise, he is my twenty-seventh son, born to Concubine Qing, Concubine Qing is unwell, but I can let you help take care of it, I don't know if you are willing?" ”
"In this way, I thank Your Majesty, in fact, compared to the prince, the concubines like the princess more, but some of Your Majesty's princesses are a few years older than the concubines, and some are about the same as the concubines, or they have already grown older, hey, it would be nice if they could have entered the palace earlier......"
Concubine Ning looked pity, which made Emperor Wu feel pity, so she said: "Well, today we work harder, maybe we will succeed......" Emperor Wu actually favored Concubine Ning no less than a few, but she has been in the palace for two years, that is, she is not pregnant, if you want to put it in the early years, I am afraid that it will be regarded as a hen that will not lay eggs, and be ridiculed, but now that Emperor Wu is old, no one is mentioning this, for fear that he will provoke the master that day and not complain or touch the emperor's eyebrows, and lose his due status, So it is convenient for two kinds of people to act, one is the jealous people in the harem, giving them the opportunity to directly kill the concubines, what musk, there are countless drugs such as ice muscle pills, or there are many people who simply harm people beyond recognition, even Concubine Ning was almost framed, and she dug up dead rats and snakes in her palace several times, and later planted some mosquito repellent drugs such as wormwood outside, and only got better after sprinkling realgar powder all day long.
There is also a kind of Concubine Ning, who can obviously be pregnant with a dragon, but she wants to send the child away by herself, to be honest, she Zhang Jie entered the palace because she repaid Yun Xingyan's kindness, she just played with Emperor Wu, she still has no one she likes, although she spends all day thinking about how to please him, but Zhang Jie in her heart is very resistant to this, so she has a response, whenever she has sex with Emperor Wu, she will secretly take a decoction to make herself infertile, anyway, she doesn't love Emperor Wu, In addition, she is still young, but twenty-two years old, she still wants to end all this to find her own happiness, if she has a child, it is undoubtedly a lot of worry, besides, this child may not want to live in a struggle from birth, right?
Afterwards, Concubine Ning got the custody of the little prince Yunxiao, although she rejected Emperor Wu in disguise with the excuse of liking the princess, but he didn't seem to hear the displeasure in his heart, looking at the newly added population in the palace, Concubine Ning and the woman in the famous North Tower sighed and said: "It seems that you will have to act more perversely in the future, so as not to be exposed, understand?" ”
