Chapter Twenty-Seven: As Deep as the Palace Gate [3]
On the second day, before Rong Yan got up, he heard the sound of barley and Qingluan arguing outside.
Rong Yan sat up with a headache, frowned and shouted: "Qingli, Qingluan, what's going on, why is it so noisy?" ”
Qingluan pushed the door in, and Qingluan glared at her with an unhappy expression.
"Niangniang, those palace maids chew the root of their tongues."
Rong Yan pressed his eyebrows and asked with a headache, "What did they say?" ”
Qing Barley said angrily: "Your Majesty did not stay overnight yesterday, so there were rumors early this morning, and there was a ...... between Niangniang and Your Majesty."
Rong Yan shook his head and sighed: "Qing barley, the mouth of Youyou, can't be stopped, so why do you care about what they say?" ”
"But." Qing Luan wanted to speak and stopped, and wanted to say something but was glared back by Qing Luan.
"Niangniang, go to your majesty today to say goodbye, I'm afraid it will be a mistake if it's too late."
Time flies, Rong Yan has been in the palace for more than three months, but Yun Ting has never stepped into her Yong'an Palace again, and Rong Yan is also happy.
However, Yunting has succeeded to the throne for more than three months, and there is only one queen in the palace, which makes the ministers of the court and the central government dissatisfied, and Jiang Zhongli, who is the prince, took the lead in saying: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." ”
Yun Ting frowned and said with a smile: "Taishi has something to say. ”
Jiang Zhongli said: "Your Majesty, now that the court is stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is only one queen in the harem, I am afraid that something is wrong, I don't know if Your Majesty has any plans to take a concubine?" ”
Although Yun Ting was laughing, Jiang Zhongli was faintly uneasy.
His plan was naturally to let Jiang Lianyi enter the palace, but Yun Ting's incomprehensible smile made him a little confused.
"I think the Taishi is reasonable, and now there is only one queen in the palace, which is really inappropriate, so according to what the Taishi said, how about choosing a concubine on a certain day?"
With Yun Ting's words, Jiang Zhongli was relieved, and then most of the officials in the court had plans to send their daughters to the palace.
Rong Yan also heard about Yunting's concubine, but she didn't react, because since ancient times, there could not be only one person around the emperor, so it was time to prepare for the concubine.
Rong Yan sat under a pear tree in the courtyard and sighed, and remembered the scene when they swam in the lake together a few months ago, but unfortunately things were wrong and they couldn't go back.
Just when Rong Yan was distracted, Qing Barley interrupted her thoughts: "Niangniang, Your Majesty is here!" ”
Rong Yan got up and saluted, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, why did you come here today?" ”
Yun Ting glanced at her and sneered, "Why, can't I come yet?" ”
Rong Yan smiled: "I don't know why Your Majesty came today?" ”
"I'm going to take a concubine in a few days, and those new concubines who have entered the palace will bother the queen to arrange it."
Rong Yan snorted, her brows furrowed, and Yun Ting saw that she had something to say, so she asked, "The queen has something to say?" ”
After thinking about it, Rong Yan knelt down, and then looked up at Yun Ting: "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to ask Your Majesty for something, and I hope Your Majesty will agree!" ”
"Say something about it."
Rong Yan took a deep breath and said with some apprehension: "The concubine wants to ask Your Majesty for someone." ”
Yun Ting stared straight at her face, his face gloomy, probably knowing who she was talking about.
"Say."
"Fengjing."
Sure enough, Yun Ting knew that it was him.
"Tell me why."
Feng Jing was locked up in the place of Wei Youxiang, because Rong Yan had been worried all these days, but she didn't know how to speak, she promised Feng Shu to protect Feng Jing's safety, so no matter what, she had to rescue Feng Jing.
"Your Majesty, to you, Feng Jing may just be the son of a criminal minister, but the concubine thinks that he is a rare talent in the world, and his legend should not be locked up in a place like the Nightmare Alley, so Your Majesty, please let him out, okay?"
Yun Ting's uncertain eyes made Rong Yan unpredictable, but she was gambling, betting that Yun Ting would definitely agree to her.
"Well, I promise you to keep him by your side, and if he does anything wrong, I will not show mercy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Rong Yan breathed a sigh of relief, at least he saved Feng Jing from that kind of place.
After Yun Ting left, Rong Yan instructed Qing Barley to bring Feng Jing from Wei Youxiang Alley, but Qing Luan wanted to speak and stopped: "Niang Niang......"
"What's the matter with Qingluan?" Rong Yan saw her stumbling and spitting, and felt that it didn't look like Qingluan's usual style.
"Niangniang, do you know what the Nightmare Alley is?"
Rong Yan didn't know what the specific place was in the Alley, but it was a bad place after all.
"Niangniang, after the slave inquired, I found out that the Alley is a place where criminals are held, and some criminals will be sent there to be cleansed."
The tea cup in Rong Yan's hand fell to the ground in response: "What did you say?" ”
Rong Yan didn't know it all along, she looked at Qingluan with some trembling: "What you said is true?" ”
Qingluan nodded, and Rong Yan walked out quickly, "Go to the Nightmare Alley." ”
