Chapter 54: Demotion
I thought Zhou Niangzi was stupid, but I didn't think of being so stupid.
Shu Ning was not angry for a while, or was laughed at angrily, she looked at Zhou Niangzi lightly, and her words were a little kind: "Sister Zhou's words seem to be my decision not to give my sister the position of the crown princess." ”
Zhou Niangzi rolled her eyes and said, "This is what Niangniang said herself, and the concubine didn't say anything." ”
"Oh, really?" Shu Ning slowly turned the string of jade beads in his hand, and his voice became more and more quiet and peaceful: "I don't want to say anything, but the position is decided by His Royal Highness." When Zhou Niangzi said this, was she dissatisfied with His Highness? ”
"Impossible! His Royal Highness feels sorry for the concubine before it's too late, how can he only give me the position he always has? Zhou Niangzi's pupils widened, and she looked incredulous.
"You'd better shake your head like a rattle." Shu Ning tried to hold back a smile: "What? Do you want to be a concubine? Or the crown princess? ”
"I ...... Don't frame me, Niangniang, I think that serving His Highness diligently and diligently means that there is no merit and hard work. In short, it is not always in such a low position. ”
"Heavenly kindness, this is His Royal Highness's jade decree, and every move is a heavenly grace. Do you think that you are noble and become the Queen Mother of Heaven? "For this kind of goods, it's more refreshing to open it directly.
"You ......"
"Presumptuous!" Shu Ning drank loudly, "Doesn't the lady understand the rules of the palace very well?" ”
As the crown prince and concubine, she does not need to be honored as a concubine for the crown princess of the main hall, and she still calls herself "I" in front of His Holiness.
I have never seen anyone so bold.
As soon as his mind turned, Shu Ning turned his head and said to the remaining four ladies with a smile: "Four sisters, Sister Zhou doesn't understand the rules, do you want to teach?" ”
"This ......" The four mothers looked at each other, and it was Shao Niangzi who took the lead in getting up and saluting: "If the concubines don't dare, they will definitely respect the mother." ”
"What does Sister Shao think?" Shu Ning aimed at Shao Niangzi accurately.
"Concubine...... The concubine felt that Zhou Niangzi didn't need honorifics to speak to Niangniang, and ...... and the roar of the palace is really a little ...... Inappropriate. The more Shao Niangzi spoke, the quieter her voice became, and when she reached the last sentence, she was as fine as a mosquito flying, and she didn't forget to look at Zhou Niangzi as she spoke.
"You!" Zhou Niangzi is a cannon temper, almost a little bit, but at this moment, she raised her hand and wanted to fight directly in front of Shu Ning.
"Presumptuous!" Shu Ning shouted loudly, Xiangyun had already brought a few powerful palace maids to stop Zhou Niangzi, "Zhou Niangzi is roaring in the palace, quickly announce Kong Shangyi to teach her the rules!" ”
After the events of the past few days, Kong Shangyi already knew what kind of person Shu Ning was, and he had already been half a person of Shu Ning. And she was born in the Confucian family and is upright, so she looks down on such things as the concubine and disrespectful to the main room, so she will naturally "teach" according to Shu Ning's words.
It's just that it's just something that people who understand but can't say.
On the surface, it was just Zhou Niangzi who committed the crime, and the crown princess was kind and loving, just teaching her the rules.
"The matter of Jin Feng is the jade decree of His Royal Highness, if you are not satisfied, you can ask Your Highness. It's just that His Highness has not forgotten to be considerate of our sisters all day long, how can it be wrong? Shu Ning instructed lightly: "The little emerald on the head of Mrs. Zhou is very dazzling to look at. It's just that now that the Yellow River is flooding, even the queen doesn't wear such a thing except for festivals, does Zhou Niangzi think that she is more expensive than the queen? ”
At that time, Zhou Niangzi was not present, and these words were naturally a reminder to kill chickens and monkeys, and the four ladies below immediately stood up again to express their determination: "The concubines and others must follow Niangniang, live a simple life, and do their best for the country." ”
"All the sisters are sensible people, now that the Yellow River is flooding, the queen mother leads the harem mothers to live a simple life, as juniors, we naturally have to do the same."
"Yes."
"Alright." Shu Ning looked at the respectful looks of all the ladies, and the daily beating was completed, so he stood up from his seat: "Sisters, go back and rest first." I have to go and say hello to the queen! ”
"The concubine retired."
……
After coming out of the back of Kunming Palace, Mengyun said worriedly: "Girl, this week's lady, after all, is a distant relative of the Queen Mother, you are so ...... And His Highness......"
Shu Ning looked indifferent: "Your Highness said it himself, you must respect me as a wife." If what His Highness said was false, it would be evident today. But...... This incident is Zhou Niangzi's own mistake, and I can't blame it. ”
"As for the Queen Mother, when the results of Her Highness's disposition come out, I will personally go and ask for the guilt."
Shu Ning has never been a reckless person, and the fact that so many people were present when he got such a thing this time is naturally evidence. In this way, even if Lin Zhu is investigated at that time, no matter whether Lin Ji is fair or partial, it will be enough for Zhou Niangzi to drink a pot.
……
In the Tihua Hall of Qingning Palace, the prince Lin Ji is sitting on the couch with Pingning Bo Zhou Jian to study incense making, and Wen Jia is standing below.
"Please be safe this morning, the crown princess disposed of Jingrou, right?" Lin asked as he scooped the spices into the hollowed-out goose pear.
Wen Jia had already calculated the rhetoric in his heart, so naturally he replied with a straight expression: "Back to Your Highness, it is true. The crown princess Niangniang was very angry in the morning, saying that Zhou Niangzi was wearing a little emerald on her head, and the palace roared, so Niangniang sent Zhou Niangzi to Shangyi Bureau to learn the rules. It's just that...... Zhou Niangzi is your concubine in the end, so I am afraid it will not be good to make trouble in the Shangyi Bureau. ”
Lin Ji didn't say anything after hearing this, but leisurely took a small copper spoon and scooped spices into the pear.
His hands are slender and white, his bones are distinct, and his white and handsome face is matched with his hair that is slightly scattered, just like a fairy in a painting.
Quiet and nice.
Wen Jia looked at such a pleasing immortal figure, and couldn't help but have a thought in his heart......
It's just that such a good picture was quickly destroyed due to Zhou Jian's interruption.
"Wrong, in the wrong order!" Zhou Jian pretended to blow his beard and glared at Lin Ji.
Lin Ji let out an emotionless "oh", and poured out the spices again.
"Sister Wen spoke softly and crepe, but I didn't understand. If my sister says it directly, is Zhou Niangzi wrong? ”
Zhou Jian's words were as straight as cold water, and Wen Jia was sobered up.
"This ......" Wen Jia was stunned for a while, and after thinking about it, he swallowed: "Zhou Niangzi is just a beauty...... I think I'm a little proud of my people. ”
"That's still wrong." Zhou Jian said with an indifferent look, and continued to point to Lin Jian to make incense.
"To make incense, you need to concentrate the most, but you also need to keep your eyes open and distinguish between priorities. If you can't distinguish between priority and priority, a good plate of spices will be ruined. Zhou Jian smiled at Lin Ji and asked, "My Royal Highness the Prince, do you understand?" ”
Lin Ji said in a low voice: "Mm-hmm." ”
Wenjia stood on the ground and watched, suddenly feeling that he was a little redundant......
There are also Fang Cai Ping Ningbo's words, it is clear that there is something in the words, so is this said to Lin Ji, or to himself?
"Sister?" It was Ping Ningbo Zhou Jian's words that pulled Wen Jia back from his contemplation.
"Pinningber."
"What does my sister think? I called my sister several times. "Ping Ningbo Bo Zhou Jian was born with a smile, and a handsome face is as warm as a spring breeze when he smiles.
"Oh, Xu is a slave didn't sleep well yesterday, and she was behind her ears for a while."
"That sister has to pay attention, it doesn't matter behind the ears, I'm afraid of the back of the eyes, take the wrong thing, it's not good." Zhou Jian grinned.
But what he said made Wenjia feel excited.
"Okay, don't tease her. Wenga, go and get some musk for Ajan. ”
"Yes."
Zhou Jian looked at Wen Jia, his expression flickered a hint of thought, but he couldn't hold it down, just looked at Lin Ji with a smile.
……
In the evening, Zhou Jian returned to the eldest princess's mansion, and Lin Jian ordered someone to put dinner in the Ningtai Palace, saying that he would have dinner with the crown princess.
Shu Ning was not surprised to hear the news, but Mengyun was very worried, "Is Your Highness here to ask the master to ask for sin?" ”
Shu Ning comforted Mengyun a few words, and said in his heart: "If he really came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, then it is not a pity that he can have such an end." ”
In fact, Shu Ning is very confident in this.
Sure enough, Lin Ji didn't take the initiative to mention Zhou Niangzi when he came to Ningtai Hall for dinner, so naturally he wouldn't be angry with Shu Ning because of this.
Still Shu Ning took the initiative to mention it: "The concubine originally thought that His Royal Highness was here to ask about Mrs. Zhou." ”
Lin Ji was stunned for a moment, and there was still a bun that had just been eaten in his mouth.
"Your Highness, slow down." Shu Ning looked at Lin Zhang, who was stuck in the bun, and couldn't help but be stunned, but he immediately reacted, and hurriedly got up and patted Lin Zhang's back to take care of his anger.
At this moment, everyone in the palace was naturally in a hurry, and after a mess, Lin Ji nodded slightly, and said, "It's not a big deal." I also listened to the cause and effect of this matter, and it was Jingrou's mistake in the end. ”
"I don't dare to say that it's Zhou Niangzi's fault. It's just that this is a gift from His Royal Highness, and it's just that others, Sister Zhou has always been the person on the tip of His Highness's heart, and she should be the most sensible. However, His Royal Highness can rest assured, where does the concubine dare to attract attention, it is just to teach Kong Shangyi to teach. Kong Shangyi was born in a famous family and was upright, so naturally she would not let Sister Zhou be wronged. ”
Lin Ji nodded, his expression couldn't show any concern for Zhou Niangzi, "Naturally, now even the queen mother doesn't wear some emerald." She is not sensible, but she is learning from the imperial concubine and Shen Jieyu, and she should learn the rules well. ”
"Your Highness." Shu Ning thought that Lin Ji would not come to ask him, but he didn't want this matter to be so inconsequential to Lin Ji.
"It's not good to just learn the rules. Originally, I thought that she would serve me the longest and show her dignity always. Now it seems that it is really unworthy. Just say yes. Shao Niangzi and Meng Niangzi are sensible, but they are worthy of the position that they are always in. ”
Shu Ning's heart moved, the promised position is not as good as a maid, but it is slightly better than the nameless and the pointless, and when Zhou Niangzi comes back from the Shangyi Bureau, she sees that the position has been lowered again, and she may be so "happy".
"Yes."
