Chapter 34 After grooming, the mountain bamboo forest is back
Ning Xueyan just left, Lan Ning didn't feel at ease and went to see it, just met King Yi's team, and hurriedly avoided kneeling beside the road, and then inquired that His Royal Highness King Yi had come down, knowing that most of the monks in Hanshan Temple had gone to greet him, and he would not have had time to take care of the trivial matter of a certain Zhaike being sick.
"I'll go over and see if Master Mingyue is there, if he is, let him come over for you to see, don't be in a hurry to pray for me, take care of your body, in a few days Ya Guifei Niangniang will come to the temple to appreciate the chrysanthemum, hold a chrysanthemum appreciation event, the big girl has been married, the identity of the four girls is not enough, only you and the second girl can enter the chrysanthemum appreciation event, how to raise the body before the meeting."
Concubine Ya is coming to Hanshan Temple, so the temple is such a scene.
Those ladies and ladies all came here to make incense, it turned out that it was also because of this incident, but King Yi, what is the matter with the three princes, although the three princes can be said to come to accompany his mother, what about King Yi? He doesn't seem to be a good, temperamental person, who is willing to accompany Concubine Ya to enjoy any flowers.
Ning Xueyan thought about it, but her face was not obvious, she raised her weak head and nodded hard, although she was half-supported by Lan Ning, she was still shaky: "Grandmother, Yan'er is not in good health, let's let the second sister go alone!" ”
What kind of flower viewing party, she is not interested in it at all, what she prefers is the news that Concubine Ya came out, which at least means that person will come out.
"You are the fifth girl of the Marquis Mansion, how can you say such uncompetitive words, okay, I will let people come to see you in a while, give you medicine, you have a good rest, there are still a few days, you have to take care of your body." Mrs. Tai was not happy, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, she stood up and walked out, while telling Yahuan to go to her to get some good medicinal materials, and give the fifth girl a good medicine.
Seeing that as soon as Mrs. Tai left, a large group of people suddenly left, Ning Xueyan closed her eyes slightly, leaned on Lan Ning's arms, gasped twice, and gently pushed her: "Go, ask outside, why did those ladies come!" ”
Just a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet for a concubine, Ning Xueyan didn't think it would alarm Mrs. Tai, in the past, Concubine Ya had also held a chrysanthemum appreciation party, but she had never seen Mrs. Tai participate, Ning Lingyun's identity was not enough, she needed to enjoy a flower, what else did she need!
The news is not difficult to inquire, those ladies who came to Hanshan Temple are with their own daughters, it is said that this time the Yagui Concubine is clearly appreciating chrysanthemums, in fact, to help a few princes who have reached the age of the prince, the prince of the county looks at each other, if there is a suitable one, directly give marriage, because these people are noble, the choice is the wife, so the children who come are the daughters of the powerful family.
The concubines of the Protector Mansion are now in addition to Ning Yuling, the second girl born by the Ling family, only Ning Xueyan is left, Mrs. Tai's mind, how can she not think of the law, send the two of them over to be selected, and be able to enter the royal family, in the eyes of Mrs. Tai, it is the wealth of the sky, so this will send any good medicinal materials to herself.
Looking at the tonic on the table, Ning Xueyan sat up with Lan Ning's hand, glanced at the medicinal herbs on the table, and a trace of mockery flashed in her eyes! The Ling family is still injured now, and it is inconvenient to get up, so her grandmother can't sit still, as soon as she heard that Concubine Ya is going to choose a concubine for the princes, she will come over in person.
The second girl, Ning Yuling, is also coming over!
She can never forget that when Ning Xueyan was ten years old, she was playing in the yard and met Ning Yuling, the arrogant and vicious Ning Yuling not only made people slap her, but also asked Yahuan to take off her clothes and humiliate her.
There are so many people in the house, but there is no one who speaks for her, just watching Ning Yuling and making people humiliate her!
She is already ten years old, if she is ripped off by Ning Yuling in public, even if there is only a mother-in-law in the inner courtyard by her side, her reputation will be ruined, Ning Xueyan has enough reason to believe that Ning Zuan will never tolerate her, a daughter who has "tarnished" the reputation of the Hou Mansion, and will definitely let her die of illness "quietly"!
Fortunately, the Ming family got the letter, ran out of the Mingshuang Courtyard, and slapped Ning Yuling to save Ning Xueyan from the hands of the Yahuan mother-in-law, and the Ming family was also punished for offending Ning Yuling, and was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights.
At this point, Ming's body was even weaker, and Ning Xueyan never dared to take a step out of Mingshuang Courtyard again, and his temperament became more and more cowardly and useless!
But Ning Yuling had to be scolded, saying that he was fined for a month!
How ridiculous, he almost took his own life, but he was only fined a month's money, and his life was only worth a few taels of silver, and the Ming clan was just furious, slapped Ning Yuling in the face, but was almost tortured to death by the Ling clan, Ning Zuan and Mrs. Tai didn't say a word.
The Ming family is not favored, so he is bullied and scolded in the Hou Mansion! Even if it is dead, no one cares, human life is thinner than paper, the weak eat the strong, since they all think so, she will not flinch and be afraid, people who have died once, although they cherish life, they know what is the most ruthless.
"How many princes and princes have lived in Hanshan Temple?" Ning Xueyan lowered her eyes, her jade-white fingers hooked a corner of the embroidered tent, and asked softly.
"Only the three princes and King Yi came, the whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Yi are not very clear, the slave maid does not dare to inquire, the people guarding there are too fierce, the three princes live in the courtyard in the middle on the right, the slave and maid see someone passing, and there are a few girls from other houses, walking over there from time to time, watching the scenery."
Lan Ning thought for a while and replied, in order to get more accurate information, she specially went to investigate, but there was no way to get close to King Yi's side, but there were many girls on the third prince's side, as long as the guards at the door did not disturb them, they didn't really want to go to the courtyard, and the ladies of the family outside would not rush.
Yiwang Ao Chenyi, Ning Xueyan frowned slightly, why did he come, she really couldn't tell.
The entire Chu State knows that King Yi Ao Chenyi, since beating his fiancée did not get on the sedan chair and died, he has not married, the emperor mentioned it several times, but he politely refused, only said that his love for his ex-fiancée is as deep as the sea, so he does not want to marry for the time being, and this family matter has been put on hold again and again.
This will not be necessary, but also choose a wife for this King Yi!
Ning Xueyan thought about it carefully, and she also felt that this idea was ridiculous, who is King Yi, with his identity, status, and his marriage, where does Concubine Ya have the right to be the master.
Thinking to himself, he got up.
"Fifth girl, your body is just getting better, I'm afraid it will be a little worse if you toss it like this, you better rest for two more days and get up again!" Lan Ning looked at her slightly flushed unnatural face and said worriedly.
"I heard that over there in the Hou Mansion, Ning Yuling is coming." Ning Xueyan said lightly, helping Qingyu to stand up, her body was really weak, and it was dark in front of her before she stood up, and it was only after half a sound that she eased up.
She has to hurry up, how many medicinal materials has Mrs. Tai sent to her in the past few days, and the mother-in-law who sent the medicinal materials has repeatedly told her to take care of her body, and said that if she doesn't raise it well, some daughters of families will not be able to find a good marriage, and maybe they will become other people's concubines.
In and out of the words, she praised Ning Xueyan's beauty, Ning Xueyan believed that without Mrs. Tai's words, how could that mother-in-law dare to say this in front of her.
What does it mean to not be a wife, to become a concubine!
This time I looked at each other, it was originally for several princes and princes to see each other's wives, but in the eyes of Mrs. Tai, it could be a concubine!
It's a threat, it's a warning, it's even a notification!
If she becomes the wife of those people, Mrs. Tai's means, she can't be sent to those families as a side concubine, she can't live up to her beauty, and she has to seek a wealth for the Hou Mansion.
Ning Xueyan has been in the Hou Mansion for so many years, she has been bullied to death, and later she didn't even dare to have many doors in Mingshuang Courtyard, Mrs. Tai didn't say that she had come out for her, but when she saw that she was beautiful, she actually wanted to send her out as a concubine, Ning Xueyan thought of this and felt more and more cold.
"Freshen up for me, let's go to the bamboo forest in the back mountain." Ning Xueyan gritted her teeth, and there was a faint cold light in her beautiful eyes.
After speaking, he helped Qingyu to sit down in front of the dressing table on the side, and the two maids saw that she was firm, so they had no choice but to freshen up for her, they were grooming here, and Mrs. Tai sent someone over, seeing that Ning Xueyan had gotten up, she said happily that she was going to tell Mrs. Tai.
Ning Xueyan asked her to confess to Mrs. Tai, saying that she was still sick, and she got up slightly to disperse her sickness, so she didn't go over to ask for peace for fear of passing the illness to Mrs. Tai.
The mother-in-law responded, looked Ning Xueyan up and down a few times, and went to tell Mrs. Tai happily, I used to think that the second girl was the most beautiful, but I didn't think that the fifth girl who had not been out of the Mingshuang Courtyard for four or five years was a real beauty, even if she was sick and crooked now, she was also so beautiful that she couldn't open her eyes, and Mrs. Tai's wish would definitely be achieved.
After freshening up, Ning Xueyan used some gruel, and felt that his body was a little energetic, so he took Qingyu out, Qingyu brought a guqin with him, this piano was originally left by the Ming family, in the past, the Ming family used this to teach Ning Xueyan to play, this time Ning Xueyan was specially brought from the house to the Hanshan Temple.
The green bamboo forest is at a fork in the back mountain down, there are no chrysanthemums there, from here up to the chrysanthemum, you can see the chrysanthemum, and at this time the autumn wind is sorrowful, it is the time of depression, the bamboo leaves are blown by the wind and also bring the chill, no one does not look at the colorful and gorgeous chrysanthemums at this time, but run to this side, to see the bamboo forest.
Ning Xueyan held Qingyu's hand, looking at the scenery in front of her while walking, it was the time when the sun was shining, it was not the coldest, Ning Xueyan had a high fever for a few days, her body was weak, her steps were vain, although the road was not too far, but she also stopped and walked, and it was more than half a time slower than usual.
On another fork in the mountain road, on the top of the path where Ning Xueyan walked, the mountain rocks are steep, almost unclimbable, it is a rare few dangerous places in Hanshan Temple, a small courtyard was built on it, the courtyard door was closed, half of the courtyard because it was leaning on the mountain stone on the side, from the bottom, it seemed that there was a small half crooked in the air, on the pavilion that was crooked outward, Ao Chenyi was looking at the fold in his hand, and his face was cold, and he threw the fold out.
Frightened, the two guards at the door knelt down.
"Zuo Zhibing, grab him for me, behead him for public display, the male will be assigned to the border, and the female will be filled into the official workshop!" Ao Chenyi's face showed a cold smile, and the corners of his lips were slightly curved, but it made people feel cold for no reason.
If someone who is familiar with the affairs of the imperial court knows, they will inevitably be shocked, who is Zuo Zhibing? It was the waiter of Sanpin, who didn't even ask, beheaded him directly, and copied all over the house.
"Lord, Emperor...... The emperor asked......" the guard asked tremblingly.
