Chapter 194: Cover your sideburns
The next day, as soon as the emperor went to court, Duan Yuhua took Nangong Fei to Zhaoyang Hall to thank him.
Nangong Fei has the status of the side room, and she can be regarded as a serious wife. When a woman enters the palace for the first time, it stands to reason that she needs to ask the ladies of the palace to say goodbye.
It just so happened that Duan Yulin hadn't played chess with King Jing for a long time, and his skills were very itchy. So, he left Duan Yuhua to play chess with him in Zhaoyang Palace, and ordered Qingque to lead Nangong Fei to greet the queen, the imperial concubine and the fourth concubine.
As soon as he heard that he was going to the palace of Concubine Shu, Duan Yuhua unconsciously clenched his fists nervously. Nangong Fei didn't notice this small detail, and just followed Qingque as arranged.
In addition to Concubine Shu, Nangong Fei, the other palace maidens have all visited them one by one. The queen's temperament is noble, majestic and dignified, giving people a sense of inviolability; Although the imperial concubine was warm and thoughtful on the surface, her every move was full of hypocrisy. is obviously full of contempt, but the affectionate greetings on his lips show that he is a person who is good at hiding knives in laughter; Concubine De is highly respected, not too kind to people and will not make you feel cold, she is a decent person; The attitude of the new virtuous concubine is polite and detached, perhaps because she doesn't often deal with the wives.
Now only the lady concubine has not asked for peace. Nangong Fei's years in the Man Dance Division are not long or short, and this concubine, known as the "No. 1 Beauty of Dahan", has also been fortunate to meet a few times from afar. Now that she has to have close face-to-face contact, she is really a little excited and nervous!
"Concubine Fang, this is Guan Ju Palace. Please go in and say goodbye, and the slave and maid are waiting here. The green sparrow's respectful voice sounded.
Before Nangong Fei could retract her thoughts, Concubine Shu's bedroom had already arrived. She nodded gratefully to Qingque, straightened her makeup, and walked into the gate of Guanju Palace with Mianyi.
Since hearing yesterday that Nangong Feijin was the concubine, Li Jingxi's heart has not been very comfortable. Although he knew that he should not ask more of King Jing in his own capacity, he was difficult to calm down in the end. So, I drank a few more glasses of last dinner, and I got drunk.
It doesn't matter if she is drunk, but the mistake is that she woke up with a hangover, and she actually forgot that Nangong Fei was going to come to the palace today to say goodbye! She has no preparation at all, and she is in a hurry now.
I heard that Nangong Fei had come out of Concubine Xian's Yunxia Palace, but she had just started to dress up. casually put on a Ruyi moire auspicious dress, and asked Liuli to quickly wrap a yaotai bun for her.
"Niangniang, which headgear should I wear?" Mo Xun was distressed and grabbed two Lishui purple grinding gold steps in his left hand, and held a rose crystal and lotus begonia in his right hand.
"Where is there time to dwell on this? Wear any of them! Li Jingxi reached out and touched a pair of banana leaves, jade tassels from the makeup box.
Mo Kaoru struggled with the large pile of jewelry, and suddenly noticed that there was a gold silk inlaid with purple beads at the bottom of the lotus flower covering her sideburns. This sideburns cover is so special and gorgeous! Mo Xun couldn't help but take it out, and without asking for the master's opinion, he put it in the curvaceous hair.
Graceful turned her head sideways and looked at the sideburns that only one was left in the mirror, although it was a pity that she couldn't make a pair, but it also had a unique flavor when worn alone. So, she didn't bother to take it off again, so she wore it to meet Nangong Fei.
Seeing Li Jingfei coming, Nangong Fei hurriedly knelt down respectfully and asked for peace: "Concubine Jing Wang's side concubine Nangong clan, please give Concubine Niangniang!" Mother's blessing Jin'an! ”
"Get up, give me a seat, and look at the tea." Li Jingxi sat on the top of the main hall, carefully looking at the concubine of King Jing under the hall.
"Xie Niangniang......" The moment Nangong Fei got up and looked up at Li Jingxi, the whole person instantly stiffened. She was not shocked by Li Jingxi's beauty, but was shocked by the purple bead lotus flower on her head that was exactly the same as King Jing's private collection! She looked at it carefully, and the two sideburns were clearly a symmetrical pair, one on the left and one on the right!
Li Jingxi was curious why Nangong Fei was staring straight at herself? Following her line of sight, she touched the headdress on her sideburns, which turned out to be looking at her delicate and precious sideburns! With a smile, she pointed to her sideburns and asked, "Is the side concubine looking at this?" ”
Nangong Fei realized that he had lost his manners, and quickly retracted his gaze, and covered up embarrassedly: "Niangniang's sideburns are so ......"
"Really? I don't think I'm particularly fond, but it's beautiful. It's a pity that one was accidentally lost by the main palace, and they should have been a pair. ”
"Is it really a couple?!" Nangong Fei stood up from her chair excitedly, and the people in the entire hall looked at her strangely. God, she lost her temper again! Nangong Fei secretly scolded himself for not being able to hold his breath, and hurriedly put on a look of pity, shaking his head and sitting back while reading "That's a pity, it's a pity......
"Hehe, it seems that the side concubine likes this sideburns very much! In this case, the main palace will give it to the side concubine as a meeting gift. Saying that, she really took off the sideburns from her head and ordered the glass to be presented to Nangong Fei.
Nangong Fei looked at the sideburns in front of him and felt that it was like a hot potato. However, it is not okay not to accept the mother's reward. Nangong Fei pretended to be calm and accepted the sideburns, and barely maintained a smile to thank Dade: "Concubine Xie Niangniang's reward!" "God knows how much hatred she has in her heart at this time!
Duan Yuhua, Duan Yuhua! You've deceived me so badly! It turns out that the person you have in mind is not the princess Zang mackerel at all, and the woman in front of you! It's the lady in front of you who doesn't belong to you now, and it can't belong to you in the future! Nangong Fei almost crushed a mouthful of silver teeth, no woman can remain calm after knowing that her husband has no other arms and still covets an impossible person; There is nothing more sad and angry than a husband snubbing himself because of such an impossible person!
Nangong Fei lowered her eyes, she didn't dare to look directly at Li Jingxi anymore, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hide the jealousy in her eyes. She could even feel the chill in her voice: "It's not early, the prince is still waiting for the concubine to go back." The concubine didn't bother the mother, and the concubine retired. ”
"This concubine of King Jing is really strange!" After Nangong Fei left, Mo Xun whispered to Liuli. When Mo Xun was transferred from the palace on the outskirts of Beijing to the palace, Nangong Fei had already married into the palace, so naturally he had never seen Nangong Fei as a maiko, and today was the first time they met.
"She's the chief maiko of the Man Dance Division. At the last Wan Dynasty meeting, the dance was amazing, and after the emperor's appreciation, he gave King Jing a concubine. But she's lucky, she can actually climb to the position of the side room, huh! Mo Xun didn't understand, why Liuli always had some contempt and hostility in her tone when she mentioned Nangong Fei?
"Oh, so there are so many more stories in this! I don't know, hehe! Motomi smirked innocently.
Liuli couldn't help but roll her eyes and pushed Mo Xun's little brain: "In addition to knowing how to eat and play, what else do you know?" ”
Mo Xun rubbed his head aggrievedly and muttered, "I will still serve my master!" The two sisters argued with each other, and quickly put aside the topic of Nangong Fei.
Of course, Mo Xun will not know the reason for Liuli's "hatred" of Nangong Fei, because the secret of Li Jingxi and King Jing is now only known to Liuli. Liuli regards Nangong Fei as the master's rival, so naturally she will not give her a good color.
On the way back to King Jing's Mansion, Mianyi obviously felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was wrong. The tension of "black clouds crushing the city and wanting to destroy the city" is almost overwhelming. finally survived until I returned home, but the atmosphere did not ease, but there was a tendency to intensify.
"Mianyi, tiger stripes, you go out first, I have something to say to the prince alone." Nangong Fei opened her mouth coldly, looked at her and the prince worriedly, and was pulled out by Tiger Stripes.
"What can't you say in front of Mianyi and Tiger Stripes? They are not outsiders. Duan Yuhua is just not used to facing Nangong Fei alone.
Nangong Feisen smiled, did not answer his question directly, and did not go straight to the point. Instead, he carefully took out the curvaceous sideburns from his sleeve and put it in his hair, and walked towards Duan Yuhua.
"Lord Wang, do you see that the purple bead lotus flower worn by the concubine looks good?" Nangong Fei's smile was indescribably weird.
And the moment Duan Yuhua saw the sideburns, the whole person trembled angrily. He angrily pointed at her and asked, "Where did you get this thing?" Duan Yuhua's first reaction was that Nangong Fei broke into the study and stole it!
"It's time for the concubine to ask, right?" Nangong Fei took off his sideburns and threw them on the ground: "Lord Wang, can you tell the concubine body, why is the sideburns hidden in your study the same pair as the concubine Niangniang's reward to the concubine?!" Nangong Fei could no longer hold back the tears of humiliation and let them pour down.
"You...... Didn't you go to my study and get this? "If this sideburn on the ground isn't the one he's hidden, oh my God! He didn't dare to think any further.
The ridicule hanging on Nangong Fei's lips already said everything, she must have guessed her thoughts about Grace. Duan Yuhua felt a little panicked at this time, and he hurriedly stepped forward to appease Nangong Fei: "Nangong, you heard this king say that things are not as ...... as you imagined."
"How's that? The prince explained it to the concubine! Nangong Fei interrupted Duan Yuhua excitedly.
Duan Yuhua felt powerless, let out a sigh of relief, and simply stopped explaining. He raised his usual face that no one would enter: "Whatever you think." What can a sideburn cover prove? After finishing speaking, he didn't want to entangle with Nangong Fei anymore, and strode out.
"Isn't the prince afraid that I will tell the emperor?" Nangong Fei's sharp voice made Duan Yuhua have to stop, and he turned around to face Nangong Fei's face that had become distorted by jealousy.
Nangong Fei also sneered: "Giggle...... The emperor's favorite is the lady concubine! The prince guessed, according to the emperor's suspicious character, if he knew that his younger brother had ill intentions towards his concubine, what would be the consequences? Will Concubine Shu be executed for this? After all, the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, between the concubine and the prince, who will the emperor believe? ”
Nangong Fei laughed wildly for a while, and after sobering up, his eyes looked at Duan Yuhua like a knife: "On the one hand, there are brothers and sisters, and on the other hand, there is a concubine with a strong family background, who will the emperor choose?" Still is...... Don't let it go! ”
"Shut up!" Duan Yuhua was also angered by her, he was impulsive, and his hand stuck Nangong Fei's throat without brain control. He warned her hatefully: "If you dare to do anything to hurt her in the slightest, this king will not spare you!" ”
