Chapter 19: Yunjin
Jiang Ning had no intention of paying attention to the battle in the harem, this was originally Qin Luo's harem, and everything had nothing to do with her.
But I thought it would be over in a while, but I didn't want this sound to be endless, which simply affected her good mood.
"Niangniang, why don't you help Niangniang go back." Xia Ling said.
She knew that Jiang Ning didn't like to be so noisy, and she didn't like to meddle with this kind of nosy thing, so she said so.
"No, let's go ahead." Jiang Ning said that since she didn't plan to take care of it, she didn't plan to bypass it.
"The front is Concubine Li's bedroom, and I must have made the mother unhappy if I met it." Xia Ling said with concern, she didn't want her to be unhappy, so she wanted to go back to the palace with her.
Jiang Ning smiled, what is it, maybe she can still block Concubine Li.
Walking forward, I saw Concubine Li's palace door open, and I saw Concubine Li standing in the garden of the dormitory, with a group of palace maids standing inside, and a palace maid kneeling on the ground, and the guards holding boards in their hands.
"Hit me hard!" Concubine Li said in a sharp voice, obviously very angry.
It is an unforgivable sin for this little hoof to dare to stain her newly made clothes.
The board hit the palace maid hard one by one, and the palace maid also had backbone, always biting her lip tightly and refusing to scream, with unknown stubbornness in her eyes.
Jiang Ning stayed where she was, looking at the scene inside for a long time, this palace maid was a temperamental, but she didn't have the leisure to meddle in things.
Xia Ling's eyes drooped, this kind of thing is too common in the harem, so she really doesn't need to be surprised, but when she looked up, she saw the face of the palace maid kneeling on the ground, her body was shocked, and there was a thick shock in her eyes.
Isn't that palace maid a good sister who entered the palace with her? However, she is only a palace maid now, she can't save her, seeing her being beaten and dying, Xia Ling was anxious, looking at Jiang Ning next to her, she...
After seeing the palace maid spit out a mouthful of blood in her mouth, Xia Ling couldn't hold back any longer.
Jiang Ning was looking at the situation inside when he suddenly heard a "plop-" sound beside him.
When she turned around, she saw that Xia Ling was already kneeling on the ground.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Ning asked puzzled.
"Niangniang, the slave begs the maid to save the palace maid inside, the slave and maid kowtow to the maid." Xia Ling said "dong dong dong" and kowtowed to Jiang Ning.
This made Jiang Ning confused, but she also thought that the palace maid inside must have something to do with Xia Ling, otherwise how could Xia Ling beg her like this.
"Hurry up, let's talk about anything beforehand." Saying that, Jiang Ning helped her body up, only to see that Xia Ling's face was already full of tears.
"Niangniang, the palace maid is a good sister of the slave maid, and she entered the palace with the slave maid, Niangniang, it's too late to say, she is about to be killed, please save her!" Xia Ling cried into tears.
Jiang Ning was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing that the people inside were no longer good, Xia Ling said again: "Please save her, the slave and maid will definitely die." The slave is willing to go up the knife mountain and go down the oil pot for the mother..."
"Okay, what do I want you to do in the oil pot." Jiang Ning had a smile on the corner of her mouth, she looked at her like this, and she really couldn't bear to watch the people inside being beaten to death.
Seeing Jiang Ning like this, Xia Ling was a little stunned.
"Still not coming with me?" Jiang Ning made up his mind to go in.
"Throw her out of the palace for me, and never be allowed to come in!" Concubine Li said angrily.
The guards were just about to make a move, when they heard Concubine Li say, "No! Sell her to me outside the palace! I think she dares to be disrespectful to me! ”
The guards dragged up the dying man on the ground, and when they were about to pull out, they only heard Jiang Ning's voice: "Stop!"
Concubine Li was still angry, when she saw Jiang Ning breaking in, her face was very bad: "It turned out to be Concubine Ning, and she suddenly broke in like this."
There was a strong smell of gunpowder in her words, as if she had eaten gunpowder.
On the contrary, Jiang Ning's face was calm, and her heart softened a little when she looked at Shang Xia Ling's pleading: "Can you give me this servant?"
Since she promised Xia Ling, she will help to the end.
Her attitude was very calm, but the anger on Concubine Li had not subsided, and the maid next to her stepped forward and whispered to her ear: "Niangniang, Concubine Ning is still very favored in the palace, so it's better to give it to her this maid."
"Do you want to talk more?" Concubine Li slapped her in the face, wouldn't it seem that she was useless when she said this.
The servant covered her red and swollen face and did not dare to speak.
But she is not stupid, at this time, she really shouldn't have a head-on conflict with Jiang Ning, this Jiang Ning dares to break in like this, to take people away, where to put her face?
"My sister suddenly broke into my palace like this and asked for someone, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Concubine Li calmed down a little and regained her senses.
Jiang Ning nodded thoughtfully, this matter is really not easy to handle.
"Well, how about I give you the jewelry that the emperor sent me a few days ago?" She tilted her head and said, as if this was the best thing she could think of.
Concubine Li was speechless for a while, this is a quid pro quo, but Jiang Ning's attitude towards her is much better than before, and now that Jiang Ning is favored, she will give her this cheap maid, but she still has to hold the shelf.
"I don't want anything, this palace maid will also bring it to you, just as my sister owes me a favor, how about it?" Concubine Li thought for a while before she said slowly.
Owed favors... Jiang Ning frowned subconsciously, but she didn't want to entangle with her here, so she simply said cheerfully: "Okay."
Hearing her promise, Concubine Li nodded and waved her hand to her side, and those guards picked up the board on the ground to make way for Jiang Ning and the others.
Jiang Ning didn't say anything, just glanced sideways and motioned for Xia Ling to take the palace maid away.
As soon as the three of them walked out of the palace gate, Concubine Li's face immediately became gloomy, today she wants someone to be a person, although she is just a cheap maid, wouldn't she Jiang Ning be going to kick her nose in the face one day.
"Look at what! Nothing to do! Concubine Li looked at the eyes of several guards and couldn't help but say angrily. Today, she is enough to hold her breath, but if she wants Jiang Ning's favor, she can make good use of it.
When the guards saw that their master was angry, they dared to watch, and hurriedly retreated.
Jiang Ning took the two of them to the Heart Cultivation Palace, but the palace maid couldn't walk anymore, Xia Ling helped her very hard, and the bright red blood stayed all the way, Jiang Ning really couldn't look past it, so he also stretched out to take a hand.
Seeing this, Xia Ling's eyes were moved, and his heart warmed: "Niangniang..."
"Let's go." Jiang Ningyun said lightly, not caring at all about the blood stained on the high-quality dress.
She thought that whoever saw such a scene would not be able to help but reach out.
After returning to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Jiang Ning also specially invited the imperial doctor to show the palace maid.
Finally returned to the dormitory, Jiang Ning only felt much cleaner, and when she thought of Concubine Li's hot appearance, she felt a headache.
Xia Ling walked in at this time and knelt on the ground with a "plop" on his knees, tears falling down in a stream, he couldn't cry, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence.
But even if she didn't say it, Jiang Ning could probably guess what she wanted to say, it was nothing more than to say something thankful, she didn't speak, and only asked her to sit down when she finished crying.
"Stop crying?" Jiang Ning took a sip of tea and said lazily.
Xia Ling snorted and cried, looking at Jiang Ning like this, she felt guilty: "Niangniang, you owe Concubine Li a favor because of me, Concubine Li thinks about how to deal with Niangniang on weekdays, and I don't know what she is going to do this time."
"It turns out that you are worried about this matter, since you know what kind of woman she is, if she makes any rude requests, I will not agree." Jiang Ning said indifferently.
When she said this, she naturally thought the same way, a concubine she hadn't taken into account yet.
Xia Ling was even more moved by her actions, and seeing that she was about to cry again, Jiang Ning could only ask casually: "How is the palace maid now?"
"I'm seriously injured, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do heavy work for a while." Xia Ling said in a low voice, seemingly a little sad.
Jiang Ning nodded, seeing that she was sad, she thought about what she was saying to stop crying.
"Well, there should be a martial arts training ground in this palace, take me to see it one day." Jiang Ning said casually, if you can go to the martial arts training ground to have a look, maybe you can meet something.
"Do you want to learn martial arts?" Xia Ling asked suspiciously, puzzled in his heart, a concubine of the inner palace, what to do when learning martial arts.
Jiang Ning trusted Xia Ling and did not hide it, and bluntly said that he wanted to defend himself, Xia Ling was silent for a while and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Niangniang can find General Han, in the entire Manjiang, General Han's martial arts are among the best, if General Han teaches you, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
Han Wei? That man who doesn't eat oil and salt, and only knows loyalty and patriotism?
Jiang Ning shook his head, he was sincere Qin Luo, since Qin Luo didn't want her to learn martial arts, presumably Han Wei would definitely not agree, thinking of this, she couldn't help but hold her forehead: "Well, I just ask casually, I will allow you to rest for two days and take good care of her."
Xia Ling was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him and retreated.
When Jiang Ning was the only one left, she was really clean for a while, but when she thought of Concubine Li's angry appearance, she was in an inexplicably good mood.
However, with Concubine Li's kind of character, I'm afraid she won't give up easily, and she is busy this time.
It was getting dark, and Jiang Ning took out a book to read after dinner, she always wanted to know about Manjiang's situation.
The candle flame was burning quietly and swaying, Jiang Ning's face flickered brightly under the candle flame, and she was watching it seriously
The book in her hand suddenly felt a burning gaze staring at her.
Jiang Ning looked up, only to see Qin Luo standing with his hands in his hands, wearing a dark robe, his face was calm and even with a hint of pampering, his Ning Er was beautiful no matter what.
"Why don't you call me when you come?" Jiang Ning had a smile on his face, but his heart was cold.
"Seeing that you read the book seriously, I didn't call you." Seeing Jiang Ning get up, Qin Luo took a step forward and naturally hugged her.
After experiencing the last time she was in the carriage, Jiang Ning subconsciously wanted to escape from his touch, but his body was tall and his strength was great, and she couldn't break free even if she wanted to.
"I heard, you went to Concubine Li's to make trouble?" Qin Luo said calmly.
Jiang Ning was silent for a while, then nodded, but in her heart, she put down her arrogance at Concubine Li during the day and said that she should tell the emperor already.
"It was she who bullied people first, and I couldn't hold back for a while."
Qin Luo was also silent at this moment, Jiang Ning couldn't hold it back, even she didn't notice it herself, and there was a slight resentment in her tone: "The emperor is here to ask the teacher about the crime?"
"Xingshi asks for sin? Don't use such a serious word, you just have to be happy and be yourself. Qin Luo's words were full of doting.
He didn't say that Concubine Li went to him to cry, he added fuel to the whole thing and said it again, and begged him to say that he must call the shots for her.
Jiang Ning's heart trembled slightly, she nestled in his arms, and said sullenly: "You have been with Concubine Xin these days, I think she will be more loved by you than me."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ning regretted it, how could she be like a resentful woman, and Qin Luo had nothing to do with her at all, she was really dizzy.
"Are you jealous?" Qin Luo had a slight smile in his words, and his heart jumped with joy because of Jiang Ning's words.
"No, the emperor can go wherever he wants, I don't care." Jiang Ning said in a light tone, and his expression returned to calm.
She has nothing to do with Qin Luo, it doesn't matter, she told herself in her heart.
"Don't worry, I only have you in my heart, from beginning to end, you are the only one. So, you should go to sleep in peace. Qin Luo's rough fingers rubbed Jiang Ning's hair, and his eyes were full of love.
He liked her jealous but stubborn appearance.
After finishing speaking, Qin Luo didn't move, and after a while, there was an even breathing sound from Jiang Ning's side, and she quietly got out of his arms.
Looking at his face, she only felt that her cheeks were hot, and she thought that she must be sick...
Otherwise, why is the heart beating so fast, the face is so hot, it's not sick, then it must be this body doing the trick, it must be so, yes.
Thinking like this, Jiang Ning reluctantly closed his eyes, but the strange feeling in his heart always existed.
The days go by fast and slow, and three or five days have passed in a flash, and Jiang Ning's desire to learn martial arts has been delayed like this?
Because she couldn't find anyone, and Qin Luo didn't agree with her learning, the most she could do every day was to read a book in the room, or else to enjoy the flowers outside.
But to her surprise, Concubine Li didn't come to her trouble, I guess Qin Luo said something to Concubine Li.
At this time, Xia Ling, who had not appeared for a few days, was waiting outside the door, but he did not come in.
"I've seen you a long time ago."
Jiang Ning suddenly spoke, startling Xia Ling, and she hurriedly walked in with the palace maid.
The two knelt down together, both with gratitude on their faces.
"Niangniang, if you hadn't rescued you that day, the slave would have died a long time ago, and the slave and maid thanked Niangniang." She kowtowed several times as she spoke.
Jiang Ning felt pain when he looked at it: "Get up, what's your name?"
That day, her flesh and blood were blurry, she couldn't see clearly, she looked up, Jiang Ning really saw her face clearly, although she was not beautiful, but she was also very symbolic, with a small face with maturity that did not match her age, and stubbornness.
"Slave maid, slave maid was originally an official slave, just became a palace maid, and she doesn't have a name yet..."She tilted her head, her eyes full of gratitude.
If it weren't for Concubine Ning in front of her, she would have either died under the stick, or would have been the woman that Qianfu was referring to.
Jiang Ning nodded, how can this be done without a name: "I see that you have a very strong temperament, but I hope you can be softer, and you will be called in the future... Let's call it Yunjin. ”
"Slave Xie Niangniang." A smile appeared on Yun Jin's face, she finally had a name, called Yun Jin.
Jiang Ning didn't speak, only closed her eyes slightly, all she could do now was close her eyes and recuperate.
"What's wrong with Niangniang?" Yun Jin just got a name and was saved, so now he wants to show something, so he asked.
Jiang Ning closed her eyes and didn't speak, Xia Ling could probably guess what she was worried about: "Do you want to go to the martial arts training ground, why don't we go today..."
"No, I'm too lazy to move. I just want to find Han Wei to learn martial arts, but the general has to hold the shelf. Jiang Ning said leisurely, looking helpless.
Yun Jin heard Jiang Ning's words, as if he had thought of something: "Niangniang, the slave maid heard that the emperor gave General Han seven days to find a fine work, otherwise there will be a heavy punishment." It's better for Niangniang to help General Han, presumably at that time, General Han Wei will not refuse. ”
Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes, with a bit of fierceness in his eyes: "How do you know about such an important matter?" It seems that this Yun Jin is not small.
Yun Jin's face did not change, although her heart felt like she was playing a drum, but she also knew that this was her best chance to perform, so she said directly: "When the slave maid passed by the imperial study that day, I heard what the emperor said to General Han."
"Do you know that it is a capital crime to dare to eavesdrop on the emperor?" Jiang Ning looked at Yun Jin fixedly, with an invisible oppression in her voice, she leaned on her chin with one hand and looked at her indifferently.
