Chapter 122: Sisterhood
If for men, being loved and sought after by many women is a manifestation of personal charm, then King Yan just confirmed this, he was sought after by more than a dozen wives in the palace of King Yan, they cried for him, laughed for him, lived for him, and were willing to die for him!
But for these women, it is a great sadness to share the love of a man, and it has to be said that they are victims of this feudal system.
This is Xiyue's biggest experience in this Yanwang Mansion.
Now even Xiyue is involved, and soon she will officially become one of the many wives of the Yan King, I have to say that this is a great sorrow for Xiyue.
In recent days, Xiyue's heart has been confused and I don't know why.
Tomorrow, tomorrow will be the day when she and King Yan will visit the church, in fact, in the eyes of others, this worship is just a formality, and Xiyue has long been the nominal second concubine of King Yan.
Originally, it was a pretext for Xiyue to keep King Yan out of the boudoir and not to be married to him, but I didn't expect that this excuse could not be maintained, and tomorrow was the day of worship.
She has always thought that the worship hall is called the worship hall only if she worships her beloved, and there is no existence of King Yan in her heart, but she wants to worship with him!
Concubine Shu came over early in the morning, and in recent days, she has been really diligent in running Mingyue Pavilion.
It's all about preparing for the big wedding of Xiyue and King Yan.
Those days were for wedding dresses, embroidered shoes, and the scene decoration in the Bright Moon Pavilion.
I'm here today to bring some jewelry.
At first glance, these jewellery are of the highest quality and most luxurious.
This type is exactly what Shizuki doesn't like.,She's always liked simplicity and generosity.,She doesn't like this gorgeous heaviness at all.。
Shizuki learned to be obedient, and even if she didn't like it, she didn't show it at all, because she knew it was futile.
The wedding dress and embroidered shoes for this big wedding, whenever she raised a little disagreement, she would be blocked back by the concubine.
Therefore, after a few times, Xiyue has learned to be obedient, and Concubine Shu can arrange it as she wants! Anyway, this wedding ceremony is also something she doesn't like from the bottom of her heart.
Shizuki felt like a puppet at the mercy of others.
But Concubine Shu enjoyed it, and she took her status as the concubine in this Yanwang Mansion to the extreme.
Xiyue knew that Concubine Shu was not willing to do this, but in fact, who knew in her heart that her husband was going to worship with more than a dozen little wives, so it was strange to feel good?
But this concubine shows a magnanimity that is difficult for ordinary people to show, which has to make Xiyue wonder, which one is the real concubine? Is this still the lady who once slapped Biluo because of a cup of tea?
However, history has also said that the concubine of King Yan is very smart, so it seems that this is indeed the case, no wonder she has such a high reputation in history, and is known as the virtuous helper of King Yan? In this way, there is some truth in what is said in this history book!
Concubine Shu's preparation in the past few days has also won the praise of everyone in King Yan, saying that she has always done things without leakage.
Only Xiyue knew in her heart that this concubine was pretending to be doing her best on the surface, but in her heart she might have cursed herself a thousand times.
As long as this concubine comes, the atmosphere in this Mingyue Pavilion will be extremely tense, and Xiyue's heart will rise to her throat, and she will be very depressed in her heart.
finally sent off Concubine Shu, and Xiyue was a little more relaxed.
As soon as Concubine Shu walked forward, Mrs. Ning followed.
Today, she wore a water-green robe with golden cloud grooves, and her skirt fluttered gently with the movement of her small pear-white embroidered shoes.
As soon as she came, she gave Ren a refreshing and capable feeling.
The simple cloud bun is only matched with a jasper hairpin and a silk flower, just the right amount of light makeup, and the elegant fragrance that you like makes people feel comfortable.
It's the same beauty, and the feeling is very different.
Concubine Shu makes people feel depressed, but Mrs. Ning makes people feel refreshed.
Mrs. Ning's dress style is very similar to Xiyue, Xiyue also likes this kind of plain dress, and does not like heavy makeup at all.
Everything is according to Concubine Shu's liking, Xiyue doesn't care so much, anyway, this wedding ceremony is not what she is willing to do, she really hopes that her wedding ceremony can have some accidents, so that she will avoid the entanglement in her heart.
"Sister Ning, why are you here?" Xiyue hurriedly greeted the door.
"What? Isn't Sister Ann welcome? Tomorrow is a good day for my sister and the prince to visit the church, why don't I come to congratulate me? Mrs. Ning smiled faintly.
This smile on her flower-like face is like a spring breeze blowing, making people feel warm to the heart.
"Actually, the chapel is just a ritual!" Xiyue's expression was gloomy.
Mrs. Ning raised the corners of her mouth and smiled: "That's right, whether you worship or not, you are already the second concubine of the prince, but it's good to say goodbye, it shows that my sister's position in the heart of this prince is irreplaceable. "Mrs. Ning is a little envious that Xiyue is in the midst of blessings and does not know blessings.
"Hey, I'd rather not have this courtesy, don't you say that this prince is causing me trouble? Didn't such a worship put me in an unkind and unjust situation, and make the sisters in this house hate? "Xiyue also knows that she has been in this palace for the shallowest days, and she has already been very hateful when she was awarded the title of concubine this time, so if she worships the hall like this, won't she let the hatred of the other sisters drown.
"Whatever they do! As long as the prince likes it! How many people still can't ask for it? Although Mrs. Ning is also envious of Xiyue, she has always been unaccustomed to the intrigue between the sisters in the mansion, "There are many people in this mansion, and the sisters are very good, but they don't know how to intrigue behind their backs, and fight openly and secretly?" I've seen a lot, my sister doesn't have to pay attention to them and, they fight them, let's just deal with it indifferently! ”
Xiyue now understands why this prince likes this Mrs. Ning, she can do it in this troubled water without being jealous of others, and keep that peace, but it is rare!
"Sister Ning, you are different from others!" Shigetsu was sincerely amazed.
"Yes, so the concubines and ladies next to me are all in groups, and I am the only one!"
"Sister Ning, that's because the Tao is different!" Shigetsu smiled.
"Well, that's right! I'm too lazy to complain like them, lest there be a moment of peace in this house! ”
Biluo has the best Longjing tea.
Xiyue accompanied Mrs. Ning to drink tea.
Mrs. Ning gently picked up the teacup, first sniffed it gently, then skimmed off the floating tea, and took a sip, Xiyue watched intently from the side.
This Mrs. Ning behaved generously and decently, like a lady of everyone, as if she came out of the green building.
Mrs. Ning raised her eyes, saw Xiyue looking at her intently, and chuckled, "Why does my sister look at me like that?" ”
Xiyue simply held up her cheeks: "My sister has a kind of vulgar temperament, which makes people very comfortable, no wonder the prince is full of praise for you?" ”
Xiyue remembered that King Yan had a very good impression of this Mrs. Ning, and mentioned it in front of her.
Mrs. Ning couldn't help but feel sweet ripples in her heart when she heard Xiyue say this: "Did the prince really say that?" ”
Shigetsu smiled and nodded.
"Actually, I also want to thank my sister this time, thank you for mentioning me in front of the prince, so that the prince went to see me in Cuiyuxuan that day!"
Xiyue remembered, that day followed the prince in Beiping City for a day, and when he came back in the evening, in order to prevent King Yan from following him back to Mingyue Pavilion, he said by the way that Mrs. Ning missed the prince, the purpose was to drive away the big trouble of King Yan, but I didn't expect this prince to really go to Cuiyuxuan, but a sentence in his own unintentional heart made Mrs. Ning so grateful.
Xiyue smiled: "It's nothing, I just said it in passing, this prince was thinking about his sister!" ”
Mrs. Ning does not have a person to confide in this mansion, from the day Concubine An entered the mansion, Mrs. Ning felt that she was kind-faced, although today is the second time to come here, but in the bottom of my heart I feel that I have nothing to do with Xiyue, and I feel like an old friend who has known her for a long time.
In fact, Xiyue also has this feeling, among the many ladies in this mansion, she feels that the people next to her are all one set on the face and one behind the scenes, only for this Mrs. Ning, she has a good impression of her, and feels that she is unique and full of personality.
Before she knew it, it was time for lunch, Mrs. Ning got up to leave, and Xiyue left her to eat.
It was difficult to resist the hospitality, so Mrs. Ning stayed in Mingyue Pavilion and had dinner with Xiyue.
During the banquet, Xiyue couldn't help but think that this Mrs. Ning was the second woman who could be regarded as her best friend in the Ming Dynasty, the first one was of course Princess Pianpian who was far away in Nanjing, although she had a thousand kinds of unhappiness because of Er Qing, but in the end she released her suspicions, but then she went away and never saw Pianpian again.
When Xiyue left, Pian Pian was still on the sickbed because of a miscarriage, I don't know if she was better, but unfortunately she will never be able to have children for the life she likes, thinking of this, Xiyue couldn't help but feel sad, but she knew that Er Qing would definitely be good to her in a thousand ways!
"What's wrong? What does my sister think? Mrs. Ning saw that Xiyue was distracted, so she asked.
"Eating with you, I remembered a good sister in the past, I wonder how she is now?"
"Is she in Nanjing?"
Shigetsu nodded.
Mrs. Ning patted the back of Xiyue's hand: "If my sister doesn't dislike it, just treat me as your sister, in this mansion, I don't have a person to confide into, only my sister, from the moment you enter the mansion, I will see that you are good!" I wonder if my sister can appreciate the light and be worthy of me as a sister? Mrs. Ning looked at Xiyue with sincere eyes.
Xiyue nodded hurriedly: "Sister, I can't ask for it!" ”
The two looked at each other heartily and smiled.
