Chapter 100: The position of Concubine Xu
Ying Che pondered for a moment, then looked at Jiao Niang, and said: "If she deceives you because she hates you, this king will naturally protect you, and will never let her wronged you." ”
Jiao Niang really wanted to laugh three times when she heard this, if he could really protect her, she would not have this life again. She looked at Ying Che, and there was a faint sneer in her eyes, "Your Highness doesn't deceive me?"
Ying Che raised his head and said loudly, "Naturally." ”
Jiao Niang wiped the smile from the corner of her mouth, and after a hundred turns of thought, she slowly turned around, "But I still can't go back with His Highness." She didn't look at Ying Che's face, but said to herself: "Although Jiao Niang is a concubine, her heart is high, and she doesn't want to be a concubine." ”
Ying Che proudly, "The concubine of this king is far better than the wife of others, glory and wealth, and a happy life." ”
Hearing him say that he would be happy for a lifetime, Jiao Niang's face couldn't help but be slightly ridiculed, "But a nameless concubine will be looked down upon, Jiao Niang is proud, and she can't stand the eyes of others." ”
The concubines are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and those who are somewhat decent can still have a happy event, but those who are carried in from the back door like her are the most despised.
As soon as the words fell, a loud smile sounded behind him, Jiao Niang turned around and looked at Ying Che suspiciously, in the clouds, I don't know why he laughed, and when his laughter gradually stopped, I saw him looking at himself deeply, and said slowly: "Then the king will allow you to be the concubine, three media and six hires, and marry beautifully." ”
Jiao Niang was stunned for a moment, and looked at him in disbelief, as if she had misheard. The side concubine is different from the general concubine, the same as the wife, to go to the emperor's temple, enter the jade butterfly, the position is noble, and her identity is unworthy.
Ying Che saw her doubts and worries, walked a few steps closer, and reached out to pry away a strand of broken hair on her sideburns, "This king has already spent so much effort for you, and it is okay to spend more, and this king does not want to wronged you, so it doesn't matter if you don't want to go back to Beijing with this king this time, when the draft comes, this king will make arrangements." ”
His hand slowly slid along Jiao Niang's cheeks, Jiao Niang's skin was like condensed fat, ice muscles and jade bones, which made people love it, he leaned down and looked at Jiao Niang, "How?"
Jiao Niang looked into his eyes, her heart beating in panic.
This was indeed an accident for her, and in this short period of time, she had already thought deeply, and since she couldn't hide, she accepted her fate and went back with him. She had many excuses just now, just thinking that he could give her a decent place and not let others look down on her.
But I didn't expect him to give her the position of side concubine as soon as he opened his mouth, which was the same respect as Hua Meiniang. Originally, she was still a little resistant in her heart, and I have to say that this temptation is very great.
If she can enter the Ruiwang Mansion as a side concubine, she can sit on an equal footing with Hua Meiniang, and then she will ......
Jiao Niang lowered her eyes, a monstrous hatred flashed in her eyes, and when she raised her eyes again, the hatred was no longer there, and she smiled instead, "Your Highness Xie is worried about Jiao Niang." ”
Ying Che smiled lowly, took her into her arms, Jiao Niang resisted a little, and finally had no choice but to lean on his shoulder obediently. Her eyes were closed, and the smell of ambergris was in her nose, so good that it made people dizzy.
Tears welled up under her eyelids, and she shut, as if that would not fall. Suddenly, when the tears dried, she slowly opened her eyes, and in addition to indifference, her eyes were as firm as a stubborn stone.
Two days after that, Ying Che moved out of the Hua family, the other side of the courtyard has been repaired and perfected, and he is on business, so it is a little inconvenient to go in and out.
Jiao Niang did not feel half relaxed because of his departure, people always have to look forward, she always has to plan for the future.
After that, she and Cheng Yu met twice, each time she touched her eyes, Jiao Niang avoided it with a weak heart, he didn't ask her why she sent the jade pendant back, but as before, she smiled warmly and lightly.
After Jiao Niang cried a lot, she asked Shui Xiang to throw away the shoes that had been made but not sent out for a long time.
Afterwards...... Afterwards...... One day a long, long time later, she suddenly remembered the gentle young man, and smiled relievedly, many things, fate.
On this day, Qiao Niang came to sit, it was raining outside, and the two sat in the house, listening to the sound of the rain hitting the plantain outside the window, and quietly spent an afternoon.
It wasn't until the sound of the rain stopped that Qiao Niang's words in her heart came out, "Jiao Niang, you are really ...... with King Rui"
Jiao Niang was holding a four-sided clasped pile of embroidered incense sachets in her hand, and she was picking up the dried petals in the bamboo cage and putting them in, and she raised her head when she heard Qiao Niang speak.
Although Ying Che left the Hua family, he continued to send gifts, such as silk and satin, jewelry, indicating that they were for Jiao Niang. The Hua family is like a mirror in their hearts, this is a high-profile announcement by King Rui, he has taken a fancy to Jiao Niang.
Yesterday, the old lady called her again, and after some careful questioning, Jiao Niang said something with Ying Che, and the old lady listened to it, and she was so happy that she only said yes, but she didn't say that Ying Che promised her the position of side concubine.
She bowed her head towards Qiao Niang, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
Qiao Niang came out with a sigh of relief, hanging her head and stirring a jade-colored handkerchief embroidered with irises, "Then what about my cousin?"
Jiao Niang covered the slight tingling in her heart, and said: "Qiao Niang, don't say anything about this in the future, I didn't have anything to do with him." ”
Qiao Niang felt that what she said was ruthless, so she twisted away angrily, and said for a long time: "I know, he is sad." Before she finished speaking, the words choked in her throat, and she couldn't suppress the surging emotions, and ran out with her face covered.
Jiao Niang didn't open her mouth to stop her, and continued to bury her head in adding ice chips, pei lan and other spices to the sachet, her eyes had a warm and moist luster flashing, blinked a few times, and disappeared.
She has made a choice, and she must know how to give up.
Not long, someone outside spread that it was said that the guards of the Rui Wangye were ordered by the Rui Wangye to send things, Jiao Niang did not feel the novelty, this seemed to be a daily occurrence, she asked the people to be invited to the side hall, and walked out after tidying up the clothes.
"Five girls, this is a gift from our master who asked me to humble my position, I hope the five girls like it. ”
There were several moire brocade boxes on the table, which were opened and presented to her, a pair of rose and gemstone hairpins, a pair of red coral ornaments, a night pearl, and a blue silk gown, as well as all kinds of novel gadgets.
These rare treasures, placed in front of any woman, will probably be happy. But Jiao Niang just glanced at it lightly, and didn't stay, "There are endless guards, thank Your Highness for me." "Just a polite remark.
If it was sent a few days ago, it was strange that she reacted, but now it is not strange. He somewhat understood why His Highness only took a fancy to the five girls, which was indeed different.
If Jiao Niang knew the psychology of boundlessness, she would definitely say, you think too much.
It's not that she regards these gold, silver and jewelry as dung, a young woman, who can stop her heart against the gold and jade in the hall, it's just that she has long been used to it in her previous life.
