Kang Naning is an outlier, out of place in the General's Mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, Gao Cheng's Great General's Mansion can be regarded as calm. In the past, Gao Cheng often discussed politics in the house, and confidants such as Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang often came to the study to see the prince. Later, the old palace of Cao Wei was renovated, not only to house the residence of Yuan Yuyi in the outer room, but more importantly, the general's office. It's much quieter.

Everyone in the house knows that although there are many concubines in the prince's house, they are well-governed, and the back house is quiet, and there are few people who make trouble because of competition for favor. The most critical reason is that the main mother Yuan Zhonghua is the lord's own sister, the eldest princess, and was selected by King Gao, and she married the prince as a concubine at the age of five, and no one can take her throne.

Kang Nanen is different. He was a Sogdian, without any roots, and was different from the concubines in the palace. Ever since she came, everyone has turned away from her. What's more, her origin is unknown, the prince went to Jiankang and came back from an envoy to Jiankang and brought this Sogdian from the Western Regions back, her origin is unknown, which makes people feel that she came from the wrong way. It's not that she is cheap, there are even prostitutes in the concubine room of the prince, but there is really no such Hu girl who sells wine and plays and sings the pipa, which is too special.

Hu Nu is actually pregnant, just like the princess. When the prince took her back to Yecheng, she was pregnant, which couldn't help but make the other concubines jealous. If you don't say it in your mouth, you can't think about it in your heart, it's nature. The princess is pregnant in other people's expectations, and the prince will have a concubine sooner or later, which is as it should be. But Hu Nu also has an heir, which makes those concubines who have not yet given birth to children very uneasy.

The concubines of the General's Mansion didn't know that it wasn't just them who were uneasy, in fact, Kang Naning, who was vaguely called "Kang Ji", was just as uneasy as them. Before, Kang Naning's knowledge was not even comparable to that of a domestic prostitute, she didn't know who her husband was, and she couldn't imagine what kind of life she would live with him. The prostitute was at least born in the palace of a minister or a prince of the clan, and had also seen what the back house of a wealthy eunuch was like.

These realities, which were completely beyond Kang Nanen's expectations, suddenly appeared in front of her one day. Everything was different from what she thought, and it wasn't what she wanted. Her husband was a high-ranking official of the Great Wei, higher than the highest official position in her cognition, and he was not at all an ordinary Sogdian man as she thought. There is also no ahura in his faith? Mazda, he does not worship the god of light.

She is not his wife, she is just his concubine.

Kang Nanen never even thought that she would be a concubine before. Maybe a Sogdian man would have several wives, but why wasn't every wife equal in the General's Palace? The difference between a concubine and a wife is cold and stark here. It was not long before she followed her uncle in Yecheng, and only the days when she made a concubine for the general Gao Cheng made her feel the most real and stimulated.

When it gets dark, she likes to light a bonfire in the courtyard where she lives, she is afraid of the dark and loves the light, which makes her feel that the god of light is there for her to guide her. She likes to just sit by the fire. Each time, I quietly reminisce about the first time I met him.

At that time, he was just an ordinary young man, although he seemed to be a high-ranking son, but he was not the general she couldn't understand until now. The image of him playing the turtle pipa was deeply remembered in her heart, and it was that moment that fascinated her deeply.

She didn't expect to meet him again so far away outside Chenggao City. I never thought that there would be any involvement between them. The guidance of the God of Light is so strange and accurate, and this is the fate that she cannot escape. But he is a fate that she can't escape, and she's just a passerby who passes by in a flash of his fate. This made her heart sad all the time.

The maidservant ......who often serves her is a timid and quiet person, and she is the only one who is willing to be close to her. The other slaves and maids were also attentive, but they always made her feel that they were avoiding her.

Kang Nanen, who was sitting by the fire, turned her head sideways. Even the servant girl who was always by her side couldn't help but admire in her heart, her hostess was so beautiful that it made people feel dazzling in an instant. It's a pity that since this lady lived in this courtyard, Lord Lang has hardly been here.

"The prince has returned home and gone to the princess." The maidservant replied softly. Although she is timid and quiet, she is not stupid and knows that the lady wants to know the whereabouts of the son. It's a pity that there weren't many times when the prince was in the house, and when it wasn't much, the princess always died.

"Lady go back to bed." The handmaid suggested. She subconsciously glanced at Kang Naning's belly, which was already pot-bellied. The kind of Sogdian robe that the lady likes to wear shows off the waist, so it is more obvious.

"Got it." Kang Naning couldn't tell if he was disappointed. Maybe it's because there are too many times of disappointment, and it's numb. "Bring me the lute." She commanded.

A question flashed through Kang Nanen's heart. The people in the house secretly rumored that the prince was going to abolish the princess, and they had asked the Rouran Khan to marry Princess Rouran as the concubine. If this is true, why is the princess still so calm? Every time she went to greet the princess, she didn't see anything unusual about the princess. Moreover, according to her, the princess does not look like she has fallen out of favor, and the princess seems to care about the princess. But who knows? Maybe what Shiko thinks won't be the same as what she thinks.

Thinking about this too, Ah Jiao's mood was much heavier than Kang Naning's.

At the beginning of the night, Ah Jiao stood under the privet tree in the courtyard, and she carefully counted the days in her heart, thinking about how long it had been since the prince had come. It's okay if I didn't think about it, it didn't feel obvious, but when I thought about it, I found that since the prince returned to Yecheng from Jiankang, he had hardly been here once or twice.

But why doesn't it feel obvious? Because the people around the prince often come. For example, Liu Taozhi, the cangtou slave, is often sent by the prince, either to send objects or to ask for something.

The son himself is very little.

Ah Jiao has long known the rumors that the princess is going to be replaced by Princess Rouran. She didn't know where the rumor came from. But since there is such a rumor, there must be a source, and it will not be groundless. Ah Jiao knows everything about the inner house of the gate valve family, so naturally she will not think as simple as Kang Naning.

Thinking carefully in her heart, how the prince raised the five-year-old Princess Feng Yi into the current princess, Ah Jiao knew better than anyone else. It can't be said that the princess is the favorite of the prince, but the princess treats the princess differently from others. If you want to talk about the origin of the princess, there is no doubt that the status of the eldest princess can ensure that she is a concubine.

But the prince is not an ordinary prince, he is the pillar of the country, and the minister is the assistant. If several interests are entangled, with his identity, there must be a trade-off. The basis for the trade-off is which one is more important, more suitable for the current situation and the situation, and even which one is more involved in the Great Wei Sheji.

If she thought about it like this, she would be shocked. It is not impossible for the princess to lose her status.

"Ahma, the son of the world is here!" A little slave ran in from the gate of the courtyard with brisk steps, and lowered her voice but couldn't suppress her surprise and told Ah Jiao.

Ah Jiao suddenly woke up and looked up, and sure enough, she saw that Gao Cheng had walked in. He wears a simple white shirt, which stands out in the night. The surprise in Ah Jiao's heart was worse than ever, and she suddenly felt a solid sense of security in her heart, and she was almost about to burst into tears.

"Lord Lang." Ah Jiao greeted her. At the same time, a bold idea suddenly flashed in her heart.

This time it was a good surprise, Gao Cheng didn't go straight to the point as before, hurried in, he glanced at the room with the lights on, and slowly walked under the privet tree, standing in the place where Ah Jiao was standing just now.

In the middle of summer nights, there is a gentle breeze. The moon and stars are scarce, and the sky is endless. I don't know why, a faint sentimentality suddenly welled up in Ah Jiao's heart. If the princess is really abolished, will she be a concubine for the lord of Lang, or will she be abandoned and sent by the lord to marry another? When she thought of this again, Ah Jiao was not only sentimental in her heart, but felt that Yuan Zhonghua really had no future. Even the eldest princess is inevitably tricked by fate.

"Is Madame asleep?" Gao Cheng didn't pay attention to Ah Jiao, looked up at the house where Yuan Zhonghua lived not far away, and asked.

Ah Jiao felt that Shizi was a little strange. In the past, I rarely talked to her when I came, and I went in directly, how could I have nothing to say today? If you don't sleep, don't you know if you go in and see?

"Presumably...... I haven't slep......t yet," Aja replied uncertainly.

Gao Cheng was staring at the window with the lights on in the room, but turned around and stared at Ah Jiao strangely. "What's wrong?" He could tell at a glance that she was about to say something.

"Ask the prince to have mercy on the princess." Ah Jiao couldn't help asking, and she didn't dare to turn left and right, so she simply fell to the ground and cried, hoping to get Gao Cheng's mercy. This was her only hope, and she knew that this was also Yuan Zhonghua's only hope. She felt that the matter of whether to abolish the princess or not was the princess had the right to dispose of it.

Ah Yan was not sure about Gao Cheng in her heart. She knew that considering this matter with Gao Cheng's status would never think only of Yuan Zhonghua. Besides, the son of the world is not the kind of person who loses big for the sake of one person. On the contrary, he is the kind of person who will sacrifice one person for the sake of the general trend. But the princess is not the most important person in the prince's heart, so thinking about it, Yuan Zhonghua's strength is too thin.

The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and she fell to the ground and wept silently.

"What do you know?" Gao Cheng's inquiring voice came from overhead, and his voice was cold and not warm at all. He was not moved by her crying, which made Ah Jiao feel even more desperate in her heart.

Ah Jiao raised her head and looked at Gao Cheng's unfazed and unmoved face, and could only ask again, "Everyone in the house knows that the prince is going to abolish the princess." I only ask the prince to have mercy on Mrs. Pregnant and don't abandon her. Ah Jiao looked at Gao Cheng with teary eyes.

Gao Cheng's heart was under pressure. Even today, a few hours ago, in the Taiyuan Mansion, his younger brother Gao Yang also looked at him with tears in his eyes, but what he asked for was the opposite of Ah Yao. Gao Yang begged him to abolish Yuan Zhonghua. Ah Jiao's request was limited, and she only asked him not to abandon Yuan Zhonghua. In Dongbaitang, Cui Jishu generously made a speech, and also asked him to abolish Yuan Zhonghua for the sake of the Great Wei Sheji, for the Gao family, and for himself.

All the contradictions point to Yuan Zhonghua, but all the discussions and requests are gathered in him.

"Does she know?" Gao Cheng lowered his voice and asked.

This question made Ah Yan's heart cold. The prince did not deny that he wanted to abolish the establishment, but only asked the princess if she knew, no matter how it sounded, it seemed to be true.

"I don't know." Ah Ji replied hesitantly, looking at Gao Cheng.

Hearing this affirmative answer, Gao Cheng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He never mentioned anything else, but only instructed, "Wait until you serve your lady well, and don't let her be too careful." ”

Ah Jiao thinks this command is even more strange, what does it mean not to be careful? Just don't think about it. How can you not think about it? That is, not knowing anything. But if the prince has already made up his mind to abolish Yuan Zhonghua, then sooner or later he will know. Instead of coming suddenly, it is better to persuade slowly now and know the benefits.

Ah Jiao knew that Yuan Zhonghua was heavy and couldn't pretend to be a problem. Seeing that Gao Cheng seemed to be leaving, Ah Yan, who was still kneeling on the ground, took two steps on her knees, and unexpectedly blurted out, "Lord Lang stays." ”

Gao Cheng turned his head and looked at Ah Jiao in confusion, not knowing what else was going on with her.

"Madame doesn't care about the name of the concubine......" Ah Jiao whispered a little reluctantly.

Gao Cheng looked at Ah Jiao without saying a word.

Ah Jiao originally thought that Shizi would at least be a little emotional when she heard such words, but she didn't expect him to be unmoved at all, she didn't know whether to say the following words, and she knelt on the ground and looked up at Gao Cheng at a loss. Both men looked at each other inexplicably.

Ah Jiao's heart was filled with sadness, and she sighed that Yuan Zhonghua was so weightless in the heart of the son. She knew that there were countless girls who loved Shizi, and Shizi was used to it and would not take it to heart. It's just that she has always felt that the princess is at least a little different from others in the heart of the prince, so it turns out that she is wrong.

Gao Cheng looked at Ah Jiao, full of frustration. What he thinks is completely different from what Ah Jiao thinks. Yuan Zhonghua is the concubine he has raised by his side for many years. She married him at the age of five, and he watched her grow from childhood to adulthood. Their husband and wife status has been decided early, although at the beginning she was young and he was young, and no one paid attention to it, but after so many years, he had unconsciously put her in his heart.

He knew that she was young and her younger brother Gao Yang was together, and they were the same age and childhood sweethearts. Yuan Zhonghua also once gave Gao Yang the jade pendant that the emperor rewarded them when they got married. Later, she also said that he was not her alone, so it was better to let it go. Or is she just because she has the dress of this concubine? Does she not even care about this title now? reminds me of today's Taiyuan Mansion, where his younger brother Gao Yang persuaded him so hard to abolish the princess. Gao Yang has always rarely dared to care about his business, why is this time?

He tried so hard to protect her, and she didn't care at all?

He thought she cared, could it be that he was being amorous? And when he was amorous?!

Gao Cheng smiled self-deprecatingly and didn't speak.

Ah Jiao was entangled in her heart a few times, and felt that everything had been said here, and if she didn't say it all, she was afraid that she would not have a chance in the future. The princess was confused, and she didn't know how to please the princess, so she had a lot of things to do and did her best for the princess.

"What the princess cares about is the princess, not the name of the concubine." Ah Jiao looked at Gao Cheng with great attention and said cautiously. "Even if she is in the position of a concubine, as long as the prince has her in his heart......" Ah Jiao's voice choked again. When the prince came to visit his wife, she was happy. Thinking about Yuan Zhonghua's grievances and the suffering in Gao Cheng's heart, Ah Wan couldn't help but say again, "Mrs. misses the son of the world deeply. ”
