Chapter 861: First Strike, Stronger
On the eighteenth day of the winter month, the weather suddenly cleared, and the sun shone warmly, driving away the haze of many days.
The morning light shines through the thin clouds, scattering ten thousand golden rays, shining in from the hollow carved window lattice, Long Ning reclining on the couch, looking leisurely and complacent. Around her neck is the warmest and most luxurious white fox scarf, and on her body is the softest Bixia soft cloud brocade, the color is bright but not dazzling, soft and distinct, which His Majesty specially ordered the embroidery workshop to make for her.
Even the stove in his hand is also in the shape of a red gold enamel tourmaline peach, which can be seen with meaning and omen.
"Concubine Yao, Mr. Sun is here and said that he has brought His Majesty's reward." Yuhu walked in briskly, smiling all over his face.
Long Ning didn't raise his eyes, but slowly put the golden silk blood swallow soup in the bowl into his mouth, eating slowly, but very comfortably.
The biggest advantage of entering the palace and being a concubine of Nangong Qing is that she can eat whatever she wants.
In the past, when she followed Master Leng Ting, even if her father Long Kai was there, because of the hard life, Long Ning couldn't be willful, and she could eat whatever she wanted. remembered that she once went up the mountain with Nalan Ye, and when she greedily wanted to eat the wild grapes hanging on the cliff, Nalan Ye was really good to her at that time, and immediately went to pick them for her.
Recalling the scene at that time, sweet and sour, childhood sweetheart, Long Ning was once moved and happy, and even his heart beat when he thought of what Nalan Ye did for her. So much so that Fang Xin secretly promised, but ended up with a goddess with a heart and King Xiang without a dream.
But now......
Long Ning scooped another spoonful of golden silk blood swallow soup and ate it slowly. Well, this still tastes good, except for the palace, or some dignitaries, I'm afraid that money can't buy such good things. As for the taste of the wild grapes......
Since Nalan Ye has never liked her, then why is she still thinking about him!
When he was thinking about it, Sun Dafu came, followed by a small eunuch.
As soon as he came in, he smiled, smiling respectfully and flatteringly: "Concubine Yao, the slave maid has been ordered by His Majesty and brought you tonic soup." This is the imperial dining room after staying up all night, and it was sent to the mother immediately. ”
Yuhu took it from the little eunuch's hand, took out the stew pot and put it in front of Long Ning, who was a little impatient, put down the bowl in his hand and said: "Bengong just ate bird's nest soup, and now what kind of tonic soup is going to eat, where can I eat it?" Take it away, and the main palace will not eat it. ”
"Niangniang is now the time to recuperate, you have to eat less and eat more, otherwise how can it be good!"
"Is it Hongu eating or are you eating?" Long Ning's face sank, "Do you want to support the palace?" ”
"This ......"
Sun Dafu's face trembled, he had never seen such a temperamental concubine, he didn't even give him face, he was His Majesty's person, this Concubine Yao was favored and pregnant, it was simply ...... Even the princess of Chu, who has the biggest temper in the whole of Western Chu, is not like her!
But he couldn't, he couldn't even show the slightest dissatisfaction, so he could only say good things: "Your Majesty also cares about Niangniang, Niangniang really can't eat, it's okay to take a sip, Niangniang don't let down Your Majesty's heart!" ”
Hooking the corners of his lips, Long Ning finally opened the stew cup, drank a little perfunctory at will, and put it down.
"Then the maid, the slave and maid will go back, and they will not disturb the maiden to rest." Finally taught the errand, Sun Dafu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly left.
Looking at the tonic soup in front of him, Long Ning didn't care anymore, and said casually: "Yuhu, this soup will reward you." ”
Yuhu was taken aback: "Niangniang, this is what Your Majesty prepared for you." ”
"You know the situation in this palace, and you're not pregnant, why are you eating so much? Let you eat it, eat it all! His Majesty of the province is hearty. Long Ning didn't care.
She's just a fake pregnancy, but she can't really eat it like a pregnant woman, otherwise she won't be beautiful when she gets fat, how can she compete for favor? Sooner or later, her belly will be gone, but don't eat too much, she won't be fat.
Yuhu had no choice but to bite the bullet.
After resting for a while, Long Ning was bored again, looking at the good weather outside the window, and had the idea of going out to play. But as soon as she got up and wanted to leave the palace, Yuhu reminded her: "Niangniang, Princess Chu said, let Niangniang be pregnant until March, and wait for the fetal image to be fixed before you can go out, otherwise it will be bad for fear that something will happen." ”
Long Ning turned his head, and his face sank: "I told you that Bengong is not pregnant, why can't you go out?" Every day in this house, do you want to suffocate the main palace? "She used to be free and unrestrained, but now she has to stay in the house for two months, isn't it going to suffocate her?
"But Niangniang, what if something really happens when you go out? It's better not to, if you meet Princess Chu and enter the palace to visit the queen, how will the mother explain it at that time? "Yuhu dissuaded unspeakably bitter.
With such a master, she is scared and sad...... Be mindful at all times.
As soon as Luo Qingluan was mentioned, Long Ning was unhappy!
If it weren't for her quick reaction and design to deceive, I was afraid that she would really be noticed by Luo Qingluan. This woman is simply terrifying!
Her mind was spinning quickly, she wanted to defeat Luo Qingluan, but she was afraid that there would be no way for a while. After all, she is in the palace, and her body is inconvenient for many reasons, but ...... Queen Su Yi seems to be a good choice.
"By the way, find someone to ask, what is the queen doing now?" First of all, she has to figure out the queen's movements, and then she can start.
Soon, the little palace maid came back and said that Queen Su Yi was enjoying the snow in the imperial garden.
"Snow appreciation? This woman is still so Yaxing! Long Ning sneered, it seems that she has been pregnant in the past few days, and deliberately called Nangong Qing to her Luoshui Palace, Su Yi is not angry, but is in such a good mood?
Could she really be open?
Yuhu seemed to know Long Ning's thoughts, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Actually, Niangniang, in the past few days, after Your Majesty came to see Niangniang, she went to the Xizhao Palace, and it seems that she still stayed with the queen at night......"
"What? ......"
Only then did he react, and Long Ning immediately gritted his teeth with hatred. She was careless for a while, she didn't even notice Nangong Qing's movements at night, he said that he was busy with government affairs, and she thought she was staying in the imperial study, but who knew that she went to accompany the queen!
Yuhu said again: "Recently, there have been rumors in the palace that the queen mother is abnormal and likes to sing," her voice became quieter and quieter: "Even at night, the queen mother sang and danced to show Her Majesty, and Your Majesty also praised the queen mother for playing the piano well......"
"Enough, don't talk about it!"
Long Ning's face was already flushed with anger, and he looked resentful and angry.
It's really that Su Yi is docile and kind and has no scheming, knowing that she is pregnant, she is only afraid of washing her face with tears all day long, even if she has Luo Qingluan's help, she doesn't care, who knows, she actually looked away! Su Yi, this woman, is also the kind of little fox who will be likable and charming!
"Let's go, the palace is also going to the Imperial Garden and have a good chat with the queen." With a feminine smile, a sharp edge flashed in his eyes, and Long Ning commanded: "By the way, send someone to tell Your Majesty that the palace and the queen mother are in the imperial garden, and ask Your Majesty if you want to come." ”
In the Imperial Garden, a white snow is like a white carpet on the ground, soft and fluffy. Su Yi sat in the rain and snow pavilion, looking at the busy eunuchs and palace maids in the distance, cleaning the snow on the ground.
"What a nice snow, it's a pity to just sweep it like this."
Ruyi lowered the curtains around the pavilion a little lower to block the cold wind outside, walked in and dialed the charcoal stove in the corner, added some silver charcoal, and then smiled: "The slave maid just looked at it today, the queen is different from before." ”
Pearl was pouring tea for Su Yi, and when she heard this, she was puzzled, and said casually: "Niangniang, don't listen to Ruyi's nonsense, what's different about Niangniang?" ”
Su Yi was in a good mood, and asked with a smile: "Yes, I didn't find out about this palace myself, but you know, tell me, what's different about this palace?" Isn't it still the same dress, the same dress? It didn't take long for an eye to come out. ”
"Haven't you noticed? Niangniang didn't joke like this before, but it can be seen that Niangniang is much more cheerful and laughs now. ”
Ruyi covered her mouth and smiled, and walked over to beat Su Yi's legs: "If it was before, Niangniang looked at such a big snow, she would only say that Ruixue was a good year, if it rained all day, Niangniang would think that those people would starve and freeze, God don't keep it raining." But now? ”
"Niangniang is worried about the country and the people, and she has a benevolent heart, but she is all about others and never cares about herself." Pearl also reacted and laughed: "Now the mother knows that she takes care of herself and thinks about His Majesty, she is a little more angry, and she knows that she cares about her own thoughts." ”
"But no, if the snow is not swept away, Niang Niang and Her Majesty sit in this pavilion to enjoy the snow and drink, how good it would be......"
"You two girls, really, even this palace dares to laugh!" Su Yi covered her mouth and smiled, but her eyes lit up helplessly, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in a halo, as beautiful as a painting.
Suddenly, a voice came from not far away: "It's not a coincidence that the queen is thinking, Your Majesty is busy with official business, why don't you come to accompany the queen mother to enjoy the snow?" ”
Although this business was smiling, it smelled of vinegar, and Su Yi immediately turned her head and couldn't help but be stunned.
Long Ning was caged with a fiery red fox fur, and Shi Shiran walked over.
With such a bright color, standing in a snowy scene, beating like a flame, Su Yi's eyes shrank, and her smile stiffened a little. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Concubine Yao, wasn't she unwell and was in the baby recently, why did she come out?
"See Concubine Yao." Ruyi pearl salute, perfunctory and unwilling.
didn't care about the two palace maids at all, Long Ning's eyes fell on Su Yi, unscrupulous and unscrupulous.
The corners of her lips hooked slightly, she put her hand on Yuhu's hand, walked into the Yuxue Pavilion, and said with a light smile: "My sister is unwell, she can't give a salute to the queen's mother, and I ask the mother to forgive her sins." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Su Yi to speak, Long Ning sat directly next to her, and smiled again: "Oh, by the way, Imperial Doctor Li has told me that the palace can go out for a walk appropriately, as long as you are not tired, so my sister will sit at will, and I haven't had time to ask the queen for instructions, and the mother won't blame my sister, right?" ”
As soon as she saw Long Ning, Su Yi thought of something unpleasant......
In the past, His Majesty's favor and love belonged to her alone, but now, as a queen, she has to share it with other women, and she has to use all means to compete for favor. She didn't want to think about it, and she deliberately ignored it, but Long Ning, the woman she liked the most, wanted to appear in front of her!
If it weren't for Luo Qingluan's encouragement and reminders, as well as the last warning, she really didn't want to be reluctant.
"Naturally, I won't be surprised, Concubine Yao's sister is pregnant now, so naturally you have to be careful, this palace can understand." Su Yi smiled faintly, gentle and confident, looking unconcerned.
She keeps in mind that if she doesn't work hard, everything she has belongs to someone else.
Someone will snatch the person she likes, snatch her son, and get a pinprick! Her mother and grandmother will be in trouble...... No, she definitely won't allow it!
Su Yi smiled at Long Ning dignified and generous: "Sister Yao, what do you think of the snow scene in front of you?" Such a beautiful scenery, thousands of miles of ice, covered in silver, why don't we paint a picture, and when Your Majesty is done, how about giving it to Your Majesty for appreciation? ”
