Chapter 164: The Mirror
Xin Wei was a little unconvinced, and hurried to Piaoying Garden early in the morning. Sure enough, Piaoyingyuan was locked by the emperor's order, and the guards at the door had people from Yulinwei.
"Beauty, let's go." Qiao Xi whispered on the side: "The emperor said that no one is allowed to disturb Concubine Ying's fetus." ”
"Hmm." Xin Wei was slightly disappointed and took Qiao Xi's hand and slowly turned around. "Originally, I wanted to use the concubine to grow a little face in front of the queen. After all, it was Concubine Ying who harmed Concubine Liao. This is good, the emperor issued a holy decree, and Piaoyingyuan became an iron wall. No matter how evil Concubine Ying is, it will be difficult to deal with. ”
"Beauty, it's better to keep these words in your heart." Qiao Xi was a little uneasy.
"You're right." Xin Wei didn't say anything anymore, just smiled at her, and the two of them went to Fengling Hall together.
Since Concubine Ying was left in Piaoyingyuan to settle down, the harem has become much more peaceful.
More than half a month has passed, and the Fengling Hall has become lively again.
The New Year is approaching, and all the palaces are busy offering congratulatory gifts, and they are all thinking of asking for some benefits from the queen.
"The tradition in our palace is that the concubines perform their duties and prepare for the reunion feast together. This is the first time that this palace and your sisters have been in the palace to keep the New Year, and they meet as adults, but they don't know what you are good at, so it's better for you to talk about it. Cen Muning was in a rare good mood, and her face was warm.
"The queen doesn't know that Concubine Liao is good at pipa. On that day, the concubine went to her palace to ask for peace, and she happened to hear her sister playing the pipa, and a song of the blue moon falling on the Jade Lake, and the concubine's heart was drunk when she heard it. Xin Wei smiled from ear to ear.
After she finished speaking, she realized that she had lost her words, and hurriedly got up to accuse: "The queen mother forgives her sins, and the concubine is quick to talk for a while." I forgot about the current situation of Sister Liao's sister, I'm afraid it's ...... I'm afraid I can't ......."
"Thank you, sister." Liao Rongyu walked in at her voice, which really surprised everyone present.
Cen Muning looked at her suspiciously: "Why are you here?" It's time to rest. ”
Her face was indeed very pale, but it was not difficult to see that she used a beautiful rouge to cleverly cover her tiredness. Some of the dry white lip flaps also have good-looking lipstick. It's just that he still seems weak to speak.
"The concubine shouldn't have come." Liao Rongyu had a hint of worry on her face. "I'm afraid that the concubine herself is not good and collides with the queen. But...... The palace celebrates such a lively scene, and the concubines still can't help but want to get together. ”
"Don't worry, this palace never sticks to such things." Cen Mooning winked at Bingling.
Bingling stepped forward to help Concubine Liao sit down.
"As long as you have your own body well, you can contribute to the feast like the rest of the concubines."
"Yes." Liao Rongyu has had a miscarriage for less than a month, and although her body has not recovered, she is unwilling to give up such a good opportunity. "The concubine wants to play a song with Sister Xin, and asks the queen for permission."
"Naturally, it's good." Cen Muning bowed slightly: "Go back and write the director into a book, so please ask the Queen Mother to take a look." ”
"Yes." The concubines responded in unison.
In this way, after talking for a while, Cen Muning dismissed everyone.
Qingli accompanied the queen to the inner room, and the Ming and Qing dynasties chased after him halfway. "Niangniang, the emperor asked Lord Yin Li to send some things over, you can take a look."
"Ice Cream." Qingli beckoned to her: "I'll go and prepare refreshments for Niangniang, you accompany Niangniang." ”
After saying this, she didn't wait for Bingling to agree, saluted the queen, and left in a hurry.
"This girl is walking so fast." Cen Mooning couldn't help but sigh. Ever since she knew that Yin Li had the intention of marrying her, she had become so evasive, but she avoided anything that had anything to do with Yin Li. Speaking of which, it is really poignant.
"Say hello to the Queen." Yin Li stepped forward and found that there was only Bingling by the queen's side, and he couldn't help but be disappointed. "This is a pair of pine smoke ink that has only been paid tribute from outside, and the strange thing is that it is made of precious medicinal materials and oil smoke. The ingenious carving craftsmanship and the wrong color of the gold make this ink add to the ornamental interest. The emperor thought that the queen would like it, so he asked his subordinates to send it over. ”
"Not bad, indeed." Cen Muning looked at such delicate ink, hooked her lips and smiled: "Even if you don't use it, it's good to just enjoy it." Thank you for me, the emperor, when the emperor is free, the palace will go to thank you. ”
"Yes." Yin Li agreed, seeing that the queen was leaving, he couldn't help but be anxious: "Niangniang......"
"How?" Cen Mooning turned to look at him again: "Is there anything else the emperor wants you to tell you?" ”
"It's not the emperor, it's the ...... subordinates"
"Then don't talk about it." Cen Muling interrupted him, and sighed lightly: "It's not that this palace is stopping, these days, you have seen it." She is hiding from you, it is her own mind. Even if Bengong opened his mouth and ordered her to agree to this matter, I don't know how many turmoil it will cause. Instead of perfecting you, it will harm her. After all, she is now a member of the palace, and the palace doesn't want the happy event to cause turmoil, do you understand? ”
"My subordinates understand." Although Yin Li said this, he was still unwilling. "It's just...... The subordinates had the courage to beg the queen mother to give her subordinates a chance. The subordinates wanted to show their hearts to Qingli in person. Maybe she knows the sincerity of her subordinates and will nod her head! ”
"That's right." Cen Muning is in favor. "It's her own marriage after all, you should ask her what she thinks."
As soon as Yin Li heard this, he immediately knelt on one knee and bowed his hand respectfully: "Please also ask the queen to fulfill it." ”
"If it's stiff, even if someone arrives, I'm afraid I won't have the heart to talk to you properly. Otherwise, so be it. Cen Mu smiled faintly: "Early tomorrow morning, I will let Qingli go to the prayer hall for the Buddhist scriptures I copied, and you will wait for her there." ”
"Thank you, Queen." Yin Li said solemnly: "Niangniang's kindness, subordinates must remember." ”
Cen Muning turned around with Bingling's hand at this time. In fact, she wanted to ask Yin Li why Qingli cared so much about him at the beginning, but he refused. In the current situation, he agreed, but Qingli was full of heaviness.
But she didn't ask.
Where can the things in this world be explained in a few words?
I'm afraid Yin Li himself can't say clearly.
"Do you really want to help Yin Li?" Bingling asked softly in her ear.
"Why do you ask?" Cen Muning glanced at her a little strangely.
"If Qingli really nods, then there is one less person around you who can help." Bingling said with some hesitation: "After all, Qingli is the emperor's person, but she is really good for her mother, and if she stays by your side, at least she can share your worries." The slave is afraid that she will not be able to handle it alone, and if there is really any omission, won't it be a burden to you. ”
Cen Muning didn't expect Bingling to say this, and she was slightly surprised. But people are going to become, and she herself is not like that.
"Qingli has suffered a lot. If she has the opportunity to leave this place of right and wrong, devote herself to her husband and children, and live some ordinary life, it is also her blessing. I know you're thinking about me, but I don't want to hinder Qingli's happiness because of my business. Cen Muning held her hand and said movingly: "Not only Qingli, but you too." If there is a good family in the future, I will definitely prepare a rich dowry for you. ”
"No, miss." Bingling shook his head: "Staying by your side and serving until the slave is breathing, is the best destination for Bingling." ”
"Don't say these unlucky things." Cen Muning looked at her eyes gently: "The matter of fate is so mysterious, maybe you haven't met the right person yet." When you meet, you may want to marry more than anyone else. ”
"Mother." Bingling hung her head a little shyly. "Slaves won't."
Cen Muning looked at her innocent smile, as if she had returned to the time she had spent in the mansion in the past. At that time, the sky was blue, the clouds were white, the human heart was hot, everything was so simple.
After finishing the affairs of the court, Zhuang Chenchen rushed to Fengling Palace.
"Do you like the tribute Mo sent by Yin Li?" Zhuang Chenchen untied the tie belt, and Cen Mooning had already quickly taken his heavy cloak and handed it to Bingling. "I like it very much, Gongmo is very distinctive, it is different from what I see on weekdays, and it is also very good to use it for fun." Cen Mooning smoothly handed the hot tea to his palm: "The emperor looks in a good mood today, and there seems to be something happy." ”
"I didn't misread your brother." Zhuang Chenrao smiled: "In the first snowfall, I listened to Cen Xiang's suggestion and asked him to send troops to quell the chaos, which has been quite effective at this time. ”
"The emperor is saying that the war in the south?" Cen Muning didn't expect Cen Mufeng to be really useful.
"yes." Zhuang Chenchen bowed slightly: "It seems that I didn't save him in vain." But Cen Xiang should be most grateful to you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have given him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. ”
"The emperor said this, as if the concubine was using her power for personal gain." Cen Mu Ning Rao snorted lightly: "The glory of that family concubine is also the tomb of the concubine." The emperor is also clear about this. ”
"Still complaining?" Zhuang Chenchen took her hand and let her sit in his arms.
"How can you not complain?" Cen Muning's jaw was slightly raised, and his eyes showed disdain.
Zhuang Chenchen took advantage of the situation to pull up her sleeves, and the whip marks on her original body had faded a lot. "Helian's medicine works, isn't the scar fading?"
"Okay, the scar forgets the pain, but it's not the temperament of a concubine." Cen Mooning smiled, and her soft lips were flickered one by one: "You must repay it." ”
"What if it's a close relative?" Zhuang Chenchen didn't ask her, but asked herself. If it were him, how would he.
"A loved one will not strangle his loved one with a whip." Cen Muning wrinkled her brows and smiled suddenly: "Since you have done it, you are not a close relative." The emperor's nature today is very good, so it is better to watch the concubines paint. Don't let these boring things distract you. ”
"You're right." Zhuang Chenchen sniffed lightly in her ear: "Then watch the queen paint." ”
Cen Mooning smiled and wanted to stand up, but before she could stand firmly, she was hooked by his abdomen and taken into his arms. "The Emperor's ......"
"I am going to set up a banquet to entertain Cen Xiang and his son, after your brother's triumph. Will you go with me? Zhuang asked softly in her ear.
"Nature." Cen Mu pursed her lips and smiled: "The emperor wants the concubine to go, how can the concubine not go." ”
Zhuang Chenchen suddenly pinched her chin and kissed her lightly at the corner of her lips: "You know, sometimes looking at you is like looking in a mirror." I can't stop it. ”
