Chapter 66: The Grace of a Concubine
The more she was about to get married, the more Ning Shuangshuang understood her intentions.
She washed her face with tears all day long, and she couldn't eat, but whenever there was no one in the house, she would secretly take out the portrait hidden under the pillow to look at it.
Suddenly, the door of the bedroom was pushed open, and Yuan walked quickly to Ning Shuangshuang's bedside.
Ning Shuangshuang's painting was a step slower, and Yuan came over and snatched the painting from Ning Shuangshuang's hand.
"Mother...... What are you doing! Ning Shuangshuang exclaimed.
However, when Yuan saw the man in the portrait, she was stunned.
The man in this portrait is not Ning Shuangshuang's fiancΓ© Li Jinze, but the murderous King Li Song of Kyoto City.
Yuan couldn't help but widen his eyes as he looked at the man in the portrait.
Without saying a word, she tore up the portrait.
Seeing Yuan's portrait torn up, Ning Shuangshuang pounced and snatched back part of the remnant painting.
Seeing Ning Shuangshuang's reaction like this, Yuan was angry and remorseful.
"My son! What's wrong with the emperor's eldest grandson, how can you like that murderous King Mu! When Yuan saw Ning Shuangshuang like this, he simply hated iron and steel.
Ning Shuangshuang cried and said while wiping her tears with a handkerchief: "Mother, the prince is not as cruel as the outside world rumores, whether it is in Shangshu Mansion or in Chengwangfu, you have seen it with your own eyes, he is responsive to Ning Qingyue's slut, he loves and loves, he is so tall and brave, full of manliness, although the emperor's eldest grandson is also dignified, compared with him, in his daughter's heart, even half a finger is incomparable." β
Yuan said angrily: "Shut up for me!" You are going to marry into the palace of Cheng in the near future and become the eldest grandson concubine with a noble status, at such a critical juncture, how can you still remember other men! β
When Ning Shuangshuang heard these words, her crying became more and more ferocious.
"Mother, my daughter can't control her heart, otherwise let's forget about the family affairs of the palace, my daughter also heard that the emperor's eldest grandson has not been very good recently, maybe he doesn't really like his daughter......" Ning Shuangshuang couldn't help but say everything in her heart.
No, Yuan Shi said angrily: "You said that the family affairs of Tongcheng Wangfu are settled?" What is the identity of the king, and what is the identity of the emperor's eldest grandson, do you want your father to give up his life and go to the emperor to retire this family business? β
Ning Shuangshuang cried again at the moment: "Of course my daughter knows that this is my daughter's own whimsy, but when my daughter thinks that she will marry into the palace in the near future, her daughter will have no possibility with the prince, and her daughter's heart can't stand it, and it hurts terribly." β
After all, it was her own child, and when Yuan saw Ning Shuangshuang being tortured like this by this incident, she sighed helplessly and distressedly: "My son! You can't be confused, as long as you cross this hurdle, you will still enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future......"
Ning Shuangshuang cried: "Can't you enjoy endless glory and wealth if you marry into King Mu's mansion?" β
Yuan frowned and said: "Now that the crown prince is undecided, King Mu and King Cheng have always been at odds with each other, if you can marry into the Chengwang Mansion, your father will definitely fully support King Cheng to seize the prince, at that time, the eldest grandson of the emperor is the emperor's grandson, you are not the eldest grandson, you are the princess, as long as King Cheng can succeed to the throne, then soon after, you will be the crown princess!" β
To be honest, Ning Shuangshuang was a little moved.
Yuan Shi said: "If King Cheng gains power, then King Mu will definitely lose power, maybe he won't even be able to save his life, you have to think clearly!" β
Upon hearing this, Ning Shuangshuang hurriedly said, "Isn't that King Mu's life in danger?" β
Yuan gritted his teeth: "My son, don't be confused, as long as you can become the crown princess, you will be the future queen mother, don't give up so much glory and wealth for the sake of temporary greed!" β
When she heard the word "queen", Ning Shuangshuang was stunned.
The queen mother is naturally the most noble woman in the whole Chen country!
Seeing that Ning Shuangshuang stopped talking, Yuan gently patted her hand and said warmly: "My son should understand, what is what you really want, don't you want to be the most noble woman in the world?" β
Doesn't she want to?
Of course she thought so.
A few days ago, she was in Chengwangfu, and she was originally out of the limelight, but because of Ning Qingyue, she became a joke.
If she can become the most noble woman in the world, then who will dare to steal her limelight and watch her jokes in the future?
As for Ning Qingyue? When the time comes, she will be an ant that can be easily crushed to death by herself.
"My son must remember to take good care of his body, your great future, and the full glory of our Ning Mansion are about to arrive!" When Yuan said this, his eyes were full of hope.
Even if Ning Shuangshuang was explained by the Yuan family, after all, she hadn't raised her body well these days, and she was about to get married, but her face was yellow and dry.
Ning Qingyue is now famous in the entire Kyoto City in terms of makeup skills, just the plum makeup on the faces of the women who can be seen everywhere, you know a thing or two.
So, on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Ning Qingyue originally received a post from Shangshufu.
To say, Ning Qingyue has received a lot of posts in the past few days, all of which are posts handed by some official daughters, either inviting her to be a guest at home, or wanting to come to King Mu's mansion to visit her, Princess Mu, but everyone's purpose is one thing, that is, to ask Ning Qingyue about her makeup skills.
Naturally, there are still many literati who want to invite Ning Qingyue to participate in the poetry meeting, but because Ning Qingyue is a woman, no one dares to come forward to implement this matter.
Looking at the pile of posts on the table, Ning Qingyue had a headache.
She actually wants to have a career, after all, after a long time, she will always be itching, thinking about the modern army of millions of fans who have left her, she feels that it is a pity.
After a while, Lan Wei came in with another post, but her face was not very good when she came in.
Ning Qingyue was grinding flower petals and making flower dew, after Lan Wei came in, she subconsciously glanced at her, and saw her somewhat unhappy expression, so she asked, "What's wrong today, who made my Lan Wei unhappy?" β
Lan Wei pouted, and said with an unhappy expression: "Princess, look at the Yuan family, she is really shameless." β
Since Ning Qingyue and the Yuan family had already shown some inconsistencies, even Lan Wei followed suit and called the Yuan family.
Ning Qingyue frowned slightly: "My stepmother, oh, let's not call it a stepmother here, let's just talk about Yuan's family, what kind of demon did she do, why did she still do it in King Mu's mansion?" β
Lan Wei snorted coldly: "Yuan's she really thinks of herself as the princess and your mother-in-law, she sent someone to send a post, saying that the second miss is going to get married soon, princess, your makeup skills are now famous in the entire Kyoto City, so Yuan's post said, I want you to rush back to Shangshu Mansion early to put on the second miss on the twentieth day of the first month." β
As the eldest daughter of Shangshu Mansion and the eldest sister of Ning Shuangshuang, since she has the makeup skills that are famous in Kyoto City, it is actually nothing for her to put on makeup for her sister.
But the key is that her current identity is a veritable Princess Mu, and with such a noble identity, it must be unruly for her to go back and personally apply makeup to Ning Shuangshuang.
"Take the post to show this concubine." Ning Qingyue said.
After Lan Wei handed over the post, Ning Qingyue flipped through it, to say that the words on this post were really written with sincerity, and the Yuan family was really willing to pull down her body and ask her to go back for the sake of her daughter.
After reading the post, Ning Qingyue didn't think much about it, she asked: "It's just a makeup, it's not a big deal, besides, a woman is married like this once in her life, if you ask someone to go to Shangshu Mansion to reply, just say that the concubine agreed." β
Lan Wei was puzzled: "Why did the princess agree to them, have you forgotten how they treated you in the first place?" β
Ning Qingyue smiled faintly: "One thing is one thing, at least my current idle life is also through their calculations, if I really married into the Chengwang Mansion at the beginning, maybe it can't be compared with what I am now." So, I can be regarded as returning the favor, but I am just such a sister, she is unkind to me, and I can't really be unjust to her. β
Naturally, Ning Qingyue never thought that she waited until the twentieth day of the first lunar month, and the news that she would use her identity to put on makeup for her sister who had robbed her former fiancΓ© came out, and Ning Qingyue got a good reputation again, that is, Princess Mu repaid her grievances with virtue, and she did have the demeanor of the concubine of Shangshufu!
