Volume 1: Born of Revenge Chapter 11: Makeover, Preparing to Enter the Palace
The days passed like this, and since Ning Banghua won a good fortune in the eldest princess's mansion, she was sought after by the daughters and nobles of various mansions, and she was busy participating in various family banquets, but she couldn't take care of Ning Zhiwen for a while.
On this day, Ning Zhiyun was crooked on the soft couch as usual looking at idle books, and a very decently dressed old lady outside lifted the curtain and entered, and blessed Ning Zhiyun on the soft collapse and said: "Second Miss, the old slave sent something to the second miss on the orders of the old lady." Before the words fell, a few maids came in with delicate carved lacquer plates.
Su Xin quietly glanced at Ning Zhixuan, who looked like usual on the soft collapse, and Su Rui beside her was so shocked that she couldn't close her dumb body.
"You just said that it was specially sent to me by my grandmother." However, after a moment, Ning Zhixuan's calm eyes flashed with a hint of unease, and after being stunned for a moment, she hurriedly got up from the couch and thanked her grandmother for her love.
"Second Miss, be careful of your body!" Mama Fu looked at Ning Zhixuan, who was weak and fearful, and stepped forward with an eager face, but she only helped her with a hand and said, "Second Miss, please get up quickly." ”
After Mama Fu left, Su Rui looked at the clothes and jewelry on the table, and knelt down in front of Ning Zhiyun happily: "Miss, these are specially sent to you by the old lady, with the love of the old lady, the eldest lady and the eldest lady will no longer embarrass Miss." Su Rui was so happy that she even accidentally touched the wound on her body, and she "hissed" in pain.
Su Xin saw that Su Rui seemed to be touching the wound, so she hurriedly helped her sit down and said, "Miss said that she wants you to take care of your injuries and don't come to serve, but you have to come to serve when you come closer." ”
"Miss is weak now, I have to come to serve Miss." Su Rui's whiplash was able to heal so quickly, thanks to Ning Zhiwen taking out the jewelry left by the late Madame Ye and pawning it, which brought her a good medicine for her injury.
Seeing that Su Rui's own body was not yet neat, but she was still worried about Ning Zhiyun's body, Su Xin actually wanted to tell her that Ning Zhiyun's injury was no longer serious, but when she thought of Su Rui's straightforward mind, she suppressed the idea of being honest again. She had already seen with her own eyes how vicious the methods of the Bai family mother and son were, so even Su Rui, who grew up together, had to hide some things, such as the jade paste that treated the whipping wounds on her body was actually given by Prince Yu, for example, they are now in a relationship with the Bai family's mother and daughter.
"Miss, would you like to try on the clothes that the old lady sent?" Su Rui's words interrupted Su Xin's thoughts.
Ning Zhiyun's eyes had already regained a calm look, she glanced at several sets of gorgeous dresses on the carved lacquer plate on the table, pointed to the most plain Tianhai gauze silk cicada wings thin brocade soft forging skirt and said, "Su Xin, help me change into that dress." ”
Soon Su Xin dressed Ning Zhixuan, Ning Zhixuan smiled and walked to the rhombic bronze mirror, only to see her bright eyes and bright teeth in the mirror, clever smile, although not as beautiful as Ning Banghua, but better than the bookish breath between the eyebrows, you must know that although she is trapped in Yunxi Pavilion all the year round, she is full of poetry and books, plus the experience of being a person in the last two lives, she is naturally more noble and dignified than Ning Wanhua, who has a beautiful skin.
"Miss is so beautiful in this dress!" Su Rui praised Ning Zhixuan, but then she thought that no matter how beautiful her young lady was, this white hair would not be able to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion after all, even if she married Young Master Su in the future, it would just go from one cage to another.
"Su Rui, I'm a little thirsty, you are good at your skills, go and help me bring me a bowl of eight-treasure cheese."
Su Xin saw that Ning Zhiyun had left Su Rui, and hurriedly closed the doors and windows, and looked at Ning Zhiyun with a solemn expression.
"You also see that the old lady's things are strange?"
"The old lady has always ignored our Yunxi Pavilion, why did she suddenly send so many good things today." Su Xin looked at Ning Zhiyun with some concern and said, "Why did Miss deliberately send Su Rui out after wearing the most elegant clothes?" ”
"Do you think I should wear the most gaudy dress, so that my grandmother thinks that I am a scheming person and can be left to her?" Ning Zhiwen saw the doubts in Su Xin's heart and explained, "I lost my mother since I was a child, and I was neglected by my father, and my grandmother didn't like it, so my temperament should naturally be humble and cowardly. ”
Su Xin carefully went through Ning Zhiyun's words in her mind, and felt that what she said made a lot of sense, so she put her mind at ease.
"Suxin." Ning Zhixuan said and took Su Xin's hand and said, "Tomorrow at the latest, grandmother will give us a big gift from Yunxi Pavilion." She looked around and still didn't feel at ease, so she whispered next to Su Xin.
Sure enough, early the next morning, the old lady sent someone to send Ning Zhixuan a dose of Shouwu ink hair cream and a pair of black feathers.
"Su Xin, come and see, our young lady also has jet-black hair and black eyes!" Early in the morning, Ning Zhixuan dyed her hair, and after wearing the feather flower, Su Rui pulled Su Xin and repeated this sentence countless times.
The old lady naturally didn't think of her granddaughter for no reason, but because the queen occasionally felt unwell on the day of her birthday, she recruited the imperial doctor to find out that it was someone who had sunflower powder in the spring on the mountainside, and this sunflower powder was not a poison, but the queen's body would be full of rashes when she encountered sunflower powder. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and the queen mother was not tortured.
The emperor has always cherished the queen, and he was naturally angry when he knew that someone was plotting to kill the queen, but soon Ruomei, the palace maid next to the imperial concubine, came out to confess, saying that she hated the queen and shared the favor of the imperial concubine, so she took it upon herself to give the queen sunflower powder, but she did not have the intention of murdering the queen, but just wanted the queen to suffer a little. Ruomei is a favored palace maid by the imperial concubine's side, and it is reasonable that she is willing to take the risk to defend the imperial concubine.
Everyone thought that Ruomei beside the imperial concubine was too confused and affected the master, but only Ning Zhiwen knew that the imperial concubine's move to abandon the car to protect the handsome was really neat and vicious.
It is a fact that the queen has been poisoned by sunflower powder, the queen has never been in dispute with the world and moved to Fengming Mountain for many years, the only thing that may harm her is the imperial concubine who has been subservient to the queen for many years, at this time, if the imperial concubine quibbles in every way, Emperor Qi who is starting will only be more annoyed, but if all the responsibility is put on Ruomei, in the pretense of braving the anger of the Son of Heaven to intercede for the loyal servant, although Emperor Qi will be angry, but in the end it is also to dispel the doubts in his heart, but it is just a few words of reprimand under the anger of thunder, But it will not shake her status as the deputy queen of the harem in the slightest.
Sure enough, after Emperor Qi knew the cause and effect of the incident, he immediately ordered Ruomei to be killed with a rod, and then took Ruomei's body to a mass grave, which was obviously for the queen to slap the imperial concubine in the face.
At that time, the imperial concubine rushed to intercede for Ruomei, saying that although Ruomei was her dowry maid, she dared to murder the queen, and her crime should be punished, but she begged the emperor to give her a good time, and she didn't want the imperial concubine to intercede halfway through, and there was an inner servant outside to report, saying that Ruomei was killed with a live rod, and her body had been thrown into a mass grave. The imperial concubine almost fainted on the spot after hearing these words, but fortunately, the palace maid beside her quickly supported the imperial concubine.
The emperor reprimanded the imperial concubine fiercely, saying that although she is in the imperial concubine, the same position as the deputy queen and the responsibility of the assistant six palaces, but since ancient times, there is a difference between the dignity and inferiority of the concubine, and she, the imperial concubine, will not be able to go beyond the queen no matter what.
In the end, Emperor Qi saw that the imperial concubine learned that the palace maid who treated her loyally was miserable, and almost fainted when she died, thinking that she was completely unaware, and finally convicted her of lax governance, and grounded her for half a month, even if the turmoil was calmed.
Although Emperor Qi punished the imperial concubine severely, it did not mean that everyone could trample on the majesty of the queen at will.
In order to uphold the rules of dignity and humility, at the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother this year, Emperor Qi made it clear that all the courtiers above the third rank would bring their sons or daughters into the palace for the banquet. Zuo Xiang Ning Fan's position is in the prime minister, and his wife Ye has only one daughter-in-law, Ning Zhixuan, although Ning Banghua is also a concubine, but she is from the continuation of the string, and her identity is not as noble as Ning Zhixuan.
Ning Zhixuan poured all the remaining sunflower powder on her body in a dry well in Yunxi Pavilion, that day she personally went to Fengming Mountain to give the queen sunflower powder, for the first time in her life, she did a disobedient heart, involving innocent people, but only then can she get the opportunity to get out of Yunxi Pavilion.
This is this time Ning Zhiyun involved the innocent queen did not shake the imperial concubine for half a point, Xiao Wenyuan has galloped in the harem for many years, thoughtful, ruthless, to bring her down is by no means something that can be done overnight.
The corners of Ning Zhiyun's lips hooked up with a sneer, thinking that there were still two years to go, and she, the Bai family's mother and daughter, as well as the imperial concubine Xiao Wenyuan, their accounts would eventually be cleared.
