Chapter 173: Jade Bone Soul
The pattern of Zhongcui Palace is two courtyards, the main gate is to the south, and the name is Zhongcui Gate.
Entering the door along the Zhongcui Gate, the front yard is the main hall with five crisp face doors, and the bright yellow glazed tiles are floating on the top of the mountain, dignified and atmospheric. Under the front porch, five beasts are placed along the ridge of the eaves, and the eaves are painted with single-winged single-raised five-foot bucket arches, painted with Soviet-style paintings.
The show girls looked at this step of the brocade gate and pretended to be infatuated.
Huang Jin was used to seeing the eyes of these women, and knew that they were young and short-sighted, and they had never learned the rules of the palace, so he didn't blame them, so he only invited the housekeeper of Zhongcui Palace to ask, "Is Concubine Wang Ning okay lately?" ”
Mama Liu raised her eyes and looked at him, but there was never a word that was out of the mouth of this yellow companion. Wang Ning's concubine has been demoted, and the palace people often call her Wang Yunyun... She was a little suspicious in her heart, but she smiled and replied: "Concubine Wang Ning is still in good health, and Xiang Su in our palace also takes good care of her, after all, she has also been a companion." ”
"Yes." Huang Jin didn't care whether what she said was true or not, and said bluntly: "Then please ask Mama to lead the way, I want to see her." ”
"What?" Mama Liu looked panicked, and then grinned: "She has always been lazy, and she may not have gotten up at this time, so it is better for the slave to go and summon Huang Ban on behalf of her." ”
"Hmph." Huang Jin's face changed, and he said coldly: "Lead the way." ”
Mama Liu knew that he was angry, and she didn't dare to shirk it anymore, so she quickly bowed down and smiled: "Huang Ban Mo Qi, just lead the way in front of the slave and maid." ”
Across the front porch, past the backyard, is a row of low slave rooms. It's hard to imagine such dilapidated houses in such a splendid palace.
Huang Jin became more and more angry, and asked, "Now, the slaves and maids of Zhongcui Palace live here?" ”
Mama Liu said with a hard smile: "Back to Huang Ban's words, now the slaves and maids of Zhongcui Palace have moved to the second courtyard, which is a house that has not been repaired before, which was originally used as a warehouse, but Wang Ning Concubine has always been happy and quiet, and she wants to live here alone, how dare the slaves and maids disobey." ”
After Wang Ning's concubine slipped the tire, her body was even worse, wind chill and insomnia were common, and when it came to the cold winter, her face was white and her lower abdomen was painful, and she couldn't stand steadily.
Most of the people in the palace are high and low, and you have a lot of icing on the cake when you are beautiful, but when you fall into the dust, how many people will pay attention to you?
Wang Ningfei didn't have the money to go to the imperial pharmacy to dredge up and buy medicine, and the grandmothers in the palace didn't allow her to go. She is the only palace maid who served her when she was a concubine and has always taken care of her. The name of this palace maid is Yang Jinying.
Yang Jinying has a bold personality and a chivalrous heart, no matter who encounters difficulties, she is willing to reach out to help, not to mention Wang Ningfei, the old master?
On a cold day, Wang Ning's concubine lingered on the sickbed, and Yang Jinying dredged the little eunuch in the imperial pharmacy and stole some medicinal materials for her.
She handed the prepared soup to Wang Ningfei, and turned her head to serve the medicinal soup.
Wang Ningfei held the warm soup woman in her hand, tears were pouring into her eyes, and her thin little face was full of gratitude, and said, "Thank you, sister." ”
Yang Jinying took out the medicinal soup, sat in front of her bed, and looked at her through the virtual light outside, feeling worthless for her. She sighed and said, "Sister, don't be sad, who let us enter the palace." Human lives are all predestined. Drink the medicine quickly. ”
Wang Ningfei bit her lip, nodded, put the soup woman on her lower abdomen to warm up, took the medicine bowl, took one bite at a time, and drank the bitter medicinal soup as if she was about to die.
Yang Jinying's heart ached, but she forced a smile and said, "Sister, don't be bitter about the medicine, next time my sister will get you some candied fruit and come back with medicine, bear with it today." Huh? By the way, you used to listen to Kunqu Opera the most, what do you want to listen to today? Let my sister sing you a piece of adjuvant. ”
The tears on Wang Ningfei's face dried up, and she said with a smile: "Then let's have a song of the infatuated woman Bo Xinglang." ”
Yang Jinying's smile froze slightly, and Wang Ningfei laughed out loud: "I'm joking." She thought for a moment and said, "Let's listen to the Hall of Eternal Life." ”
Yang Jinying nodded, she stood up, put her hand together, as if she was holding a small fan in her hand, cleared her throat slightly, and sang: "The clear clouds open the sky, and the bright moon is bright and bright." ”
Yang Jinying's voice was crisp, like a yellow warbler, Wang Ningfei smiled and clapped her hands, and then she sang: "Where is the bright moon? Waving your hand to the blue sky. I don't know the heavenly palace, what year is it tonight? ”
......
The two looked at each other, singing about Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Guifei, but thinking about their respective fates.
Huang Jin stood outside the door and didn't go in, and Wang Ningfei's voice was still as beautiful as before. He turned his head to leave, and Mama Liu didn't understand why he left suddenly, so she only glanced at the door and followed closely.
Huang Jin knew that Concubine Wang Ning was having a miserable life, and he wanted to let His Majesty talk about the kindness given by His Majesty, otherwise, even if she regained her favor, she would hate Your Majesty.
"The widow drove back to Ma Wei and reburied the concubine. Who knew that there were no jade bones, only one sachet left. Later, day and night, he thought about it, and specially ordered the priests to search for the soul of Fang......"
The tactful drama was melodious, Huang Jin stood in the second courtyard, and Mama Liu stood behind him tremblingly.
"Mama Liu, do you understand what it means to have a different life?"
Mama Liu smiled reluctantly: "The slave understands, understands." ”
"Huh." Huang Jin smiled and said, "The master will always be the master, and the slave will always be the slave." If you are even punished, we won't say much about it, it depends on whether you want to leave the palace on your stomach or on foot. ”
"Slave, slave and maid walking."
Huang Jin nodded, turned his eyes to look at her, and said with a smile: "But that's not how you do things." ”
Mama Liu knelt on the ground with a "poof": "The slave knows the mistake, the slave knows the mistake!" She kept kowtowing and said, "Ask Gonggong Huang to give the slave another chance!"
Huang Jin glanced at her contemptuously and said, "Your Majesty has a decree to order Wang Ning Concubine to teach the etiquette of the new show girl, do you understand?" ”
"Understood, understood." Mama Liu said: "The slave will send someone to ask the imperial doctor to heal Wang Niangniang, and keep her for less than seven days, and she will definitely be able to live a dragon and a tiger." ”
"Yes." He snorted coldly and said, "The newcomers have been sent, Your Majesty still remembers Wang Ning, Your Majesty is a person who misses the old." ”
"Yes, thank you Gonggong Huang for mentioning it."
Seeing that she really understood, Huang Jin left with peace of mind.
Looking at the departing Huang Jin, Mama Liu secretly gritted her teeth, she was the housekeeper of Zhongcui Palace, and she was naturally majestic, but now she was humiliated because of that little lady's skin, how could she swallow this breath?
thought so in her heart, but after listening to Huang Jin's words, she didn't dare to criticize Wang Ningfei on her face, so she had to think of another way.
She stood up straight, brushed her meticulous sideburns with her hand, raised her head and walked out of Zhongcui Palace, and went to Yikun Palace, where Concubine Cao Duan lived.
