Chapter 95: One Year (5)
"Then what if the eldest lady of the merchant mansion loses her life to you?" Chen Guifei said this without going through her mind.
When the Seventh Prince heard this, he glanced at Concubine Chen Guifei, "Mother concubine, don't think like this, the Chengguo Mansion still owes the eldest lady of the Shang Mansion a favor, and the Qin family is not a vegetarian." annoyed the Qin family, but there was no day for the Chen family to live in peace. ”
Chen Guifei said impatiently, "I know, I know, is your mother and I such brainless people?" I'm just talking about it casually. ”
"That's good. However, we still have to prevent others from getting it, such as the Three Princes. "In the eyes of the seventh prince Jing Rui, only the third prince can be used as an opponent, and the eldest prince has no power and no ambition, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
On the contrary, it is the third prince and Concubine Xue, who doesn't know their thoughts?
"Well, I know about this, don't have anything else to do and go back to rest early, you're tired all day." Chen Guifei said that she was a little tired after talking to her son, and began to give the Seventh Prince an eviction order.
Seeing that Concubine Chen Guifei's face was indeed a little tired, the Seventh Prince got up and saluted and left.
As soon as the Seven Princes left, Ning Ya entered the palace to serve Chen Guifei, and Ning Ya was just about to help Chen Guifei into the dormitory to rest, when she saw Anya hurriedly walking in from outside the palace.
"What's so flustered? This palace sees that you are becoming more and more unruly. Chen Guifei glared at Anya fiercely.
"Mother's life." Anya hurriedly begged for mercy, "It's just that the people below came to report something, and the slave maid thought about telling the mother quickly." ”
Chen Guifei was helped by Ning Ya to sit down before asking, "Say, what's the matter?" If it's not as serious as you say, you know the consequences. ”
"Yes." Anya kowtowed, "Just now, the slave maid wanted to prepare some supper for the mother, but it happened that someone came to report that the emperor personally sent a message to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, asking the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange a upbringing and a female master for Princess Mingzhu." ”
"What? Are you sure that the emperor personally sent the message? Chen Guifei was even angrier than when she first saw Anya's impatience.
"Yes, it is indeed the emperor who personally ordered the father-in-law to ask the father-in-law to do this in person." Anya cautiously raised her head and secretly glanced at the angry Chen Guifei, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, so that at least the concubine's anger was not directed at herself.
"Slut." Chen Guifei slammed her clenched fist on the edge of the bed. Chen Guifei has been in the palace for a long time, and the emperor has made himself faceless, and he came twice on the first day of the year. first went to the slut's palace, and now she has passed such a will and slapped her in the face, how can she gain a foothold in the palace in the future? How else to give the concubines in the harem a prestige?
"It's not cost-effective for the mother to be angry with her body for this." Ning Ya stepped forward, let go of Chen Guifei's clenched hand, and rubbed it gently, "Although Niangniang is in charge of the Sixth Palace, there are so many things in this harem that Niangniang has to do every day, how can Niangniang be busy." ”
Chen Guifei glanced at Anya, who was kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to say anything, and was even more angry, and then looked at Ning Ya, it is no wonder that Chen Guifei trusted Ning Ya more, Chen Guifei listened to Ning Ya's words, her face was a little pale, and her eyes motioned for Ning Ya to continue.
"When the emperor handed over the palace affairs of the six palaces to Niangniang, he was distressed by Niangniang, and he was afraid that Niangniang would be too tired alone, so he ordered Concubine Xue of Yuqing Palace to assist in the sixth palace, since the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Niangniang has been busy with the affairs of the harem, but it is the one in Yuqing Palace, who is very idle, Niangniang may wish to think about how to tell the emperor this word."
"Some little things that Niangniang forgot when she was busy, Concubine Xue, who has the right to associate the six palaces, should naturally make up for it, if not, it is Concubine Xue's dereliction of duty. What do you think? After Ning Ya finished speaking, she looked at Chen Guifei, who already had a smile on her face.
"You're still the most in line with the heart of this palace." Chen Guifei did not hesitate to praise.
"Xie Niangniang praised." Ning Yafu saluted, "It is the duty of a slave to be able to solve problems for the mother." ”
"You, learn more and Ning Ya." Chen Guifei pointed at Anya, showing a look of hatred for her.
Anja said: Yes.
Ning Ya gave Anya a look and motioned for her to go down first, Anya glanced at Chen Guifei, who had no objection, before slowly getting up and exiting the dormitory. The unwillingness and forbearance on Anya's face outside the hall became more and more obvious.
Obviously, she is the one who accompanied her master all the way from the Chengguo Mansion to the palace, and grew up with her master since she was a child, but now, the master is paying more and more attention to Ning Ya, a latecomer, not only relying on her more and more, but also faintly becoming a precursor to becoming a henchman.
Anya couldn't remember when Ning Ya walked into their world, and when she began to win the favor of her master, Anya closed her eyes in pain, alternating between struggle and unwillingness in her eyes.
In the palace, Ning Ya appeased Chen Guifei, and then waited for Chen Guifei to rest and sleep. After Chen Guifei rested, Ning Yacai tiptoed out of the inner hall.
As soon as Ning Ya came out, she saw Anya looking at her with unkind eyes, sighed softly, and motioned for Anya to say something outside.
Anya reluctantly followed behind Ning Ya, and when she got outside, Anya couldn't hold back any longer, and asked in an unkind tone, "Say, what's the matter?" ”
"After so many years in the palace, you haven't been able to accept the temperament, and the mother is a nostalgic person, if you change to a ruthless master, let alone still be on an errand in front of the master, it's hard to say whether there is a life or not." Ning Ya persuaded patiently.
"Think about it again, for so long, have you shared your worries more often than you have caused trouble for your mother? What is the main thing for us to be slaves? You ask yourself, did you really do it? Ning Ya didn't care whether Anya listened to it or not, and left straight away after speaking, leaving Anya stunned in place.
Anya thought for a long time, then walked to the hall lightly, and got up all night, but Anya who was sleeping on the ground kept thinking about Ning Ya's words, recalling what she had done over the years, and everything that the concubine had done to herself, as if she had really brought disadvantages to the concubine over the years, but there were no real benefits.
Anya fell asleep thinking about it.
Ning Ya returned to the next room, remembering Anya's appearance just now, the corners of her mouth hooked up a mocking smile, how could she be able to defeat Ning Ya with such means and scheming.
Then, Ning Ya took out a box from the bottom of the cabinet, then took out a special rice paper from the box, wrote something on the paper, then put the box back at the bottom of the cabinet, pinched the note in her hand and walked out of the door, looked left and right for a long time, and then groped her way to a remote corner behind the Chonghua Palace, stuffed the note to the bottom of the wall, and left after confirming that it was correct.
Soon after Ning Ya left, the note at the bottom of the wall was taken.
Ning Ya went back to the room and rested, today according to the arrangement, Anya is on duty at night, she naturally does not need to stay outside the palace, tonight the concubine is not angry, she will definitely get up in the middle of the night, and that is the most grinding time.
Thinking of this, Ning Ya smiled, covered the quilt and slept with peace of mind.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a few families are happy and a few are sad, some people are smiling in their sleep, and some people are really tossing and turning and can't sleep.
For example, Concubine Xue, who was already anxious, didn't know that she was about to take the blame at this time.
