Chapter 44: An extra phoenix
Ning Yuling first heard that she was the same as Ning Xueyan, and her heart rushed, she could hear that she could even get a phoenix hairpin, and immediately looked up at Ya Guifei in surprise, the corners of her eyes were provoked, and she was overjoyed, and she turned her head sideways and glared at her proudly, and her heart was overjoyed.
Feng Hai is not something that ordinary people can bring!
Only a royal woman can be called a phoenix, and since Concubine Yagui has rewarded such a phoenix, she must like herself and hire herself as the third princess.
Mrs. Tai also closed her mouth with joy, a big stone in her heart slowly fell to the ground, I couldn't think of Ning Yuling's matter, Ya Guifei didn't even ask, why didn't Mrs. Tai be happy, she deliberately let Ning Yuling dress up beautifully, just to let Ya Guifei leave a good impression.
The palace ladies held the jewelry, and the brocade was placed on the table one by one, gorgeous and noble!
"Hey, why does she have a phoenix hairpin here?" Ning Yuling was complacent looking at the reward on her side, and suddenly turned her head, and saw that Ning Xueyan also had a golden phoenix hairpin in my ornament box over there, although it was not as beautiful as her own, but at a glance, she knew that it was not ordinary, and she couldn't help but call it out immediately.
She was angry in her heart, and she deserved Feng Hai with this little slut.
"I think the palace people brought out an extra phoenix hairpin, or maybe this phoenix hairpin rewarded the five girls!" Concubine Ya waved her hand casually, as if she didn't care much.
The palace people sent out an extra phoenix hairpin, how can this kind of phoenix hairpin be sent if you want to, Ning Xueyan sneered secretly in her heart, but her face was not obvious, she took two steps back, bent down and saluted respectfully: "Thank you Ya Guifei Niangniang for the reward, but this phoenix hairpin, the courtiers can't stand it, and they dare not accept it." ”
She didn't rush to give the third prince a side concubine, why did she take this phoenix hairpin, this phoenix hairpin knew at a glance that it was lower than Ning Yuling, one side and one side, the name of the phoenix hairpin was determined like this, I didn't think that Ya Guifei didn't say anything on the surface, but gave the phoenix hairpin, if this is a phoenix hairpin, then the words can't be clear!
She actually dared to refuse her mother's phoenix hairpin, and the third prince's face was slightly displeased!
Although I heard that she didn't want to marry into the royal family, but the opportunity was really in front of her, she actually pushed it away, how could she not let the self-esteem of the third prince, who had always been high and loved by countless women, suffer a big swell, and her face was not very good for a while, and she lowered her head and fiddled with the folding fan in her hand without saying a word.
Mrs. Tai also understood at this time, and hurriedly excused herself: "Yaguifei Niangniang really looks up to this child, how dare she accept such a valuable thing." ”
Hearing this, Concubine Yagui's eyes turned slightly on the golden phoenix hairpin, as if she suddenly remembered: "Oh, I was negligent, come here, change a golden hairpin for the fifth girl." ”
The palace maid immediately took off the phoenix hairpin and replaced it with an ordinary phoenix hairpin.
Everything seemed to be nothing more than a misunderstanding, and it went up in smoke.
Ning Xueyan knew that Concubine Ya was really moved, Ning Xueyan knew her own family affairs, as far as she looked sick and weak now, no family would like to marry her alone, who knows if she won't be able to survive in a few days, it is really an unlucky thing.
Moreover, even if she is a side concubine, the side concubine of the third prince is also an extremely noble identity.
Why did Concubine Ya Guifei only like her sick son, and even hinted to Mrs. Tai again and again, is it because she is the daughter of the Ming family, and Concubine Ya Guifei has secretly come to see her mother in the past, this is a good personal relationship? It's a good personal relationship, why is my mother dead, and I haven't seen her send someone to worship! No, she had other ideas......
After being reborn, she habitually considered things in a bad way, and the tragedy of the previous life told her that some things could have been found!
Concubine Ya and the third prince sat for a long time and left, Ning Yuling was also sent away by Mrs. Tai, Ning Xueyan was left behind, Mrs. Tai's face shimmered under the light, a burst of light and darkness, more cold, Ning Xueyan stood in place, looking at her nose and nose, her nose and heart, bowing her head and saying nothing.
"Would you like to enter the Three Princes' Mansion?" Mrs. Tai asked slowly, her eyes flashing as she glanced at Ning Xueyan and stared at her tightly.
"Smoke doesn't want to!" Ning Xueyan said firmly, raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Tai respectfully: "Grandmother, Yan'er has just heard the meaning of Concubine Ya Gui Niangniang, but Yan'er really doesn't want to marry the third prince." ”
"Oh, why, since ancient times, married into the royal family, rich and glorious, and as the third prince, such glory can't be said to be a little more, even if it is a side concubine, it will not be said that there will be great wealth in the future, are you really willing?" Mrs. Tai's words were not clear, but Ning Xueyan understood.
If the third prince goes further, it will be a different world, and he followed him before, whether it was the main concubine or the side concubine, even if she was an aunt who couldn't get on the stage, she had a big turnover, and she could enjoy more than a little bit of glory and wealth.
Ning Xueyan said respectfully and gently: "Grandmother, Yan'er is not what her daughter's family should say, but since grandmother deliberately left Yan'er to ask, Yan'er will not hide it, the third prince and the second sister originally had a Luan Alliance, and the second sister also liked the third prince, Yan'er was unwilling to be the stick that broke up the mandarin ducks, and our sisters are both the daughters of the Hou Mansion, and their status is not low, if they marry into the Prince's Mansion together, it will only weaken the reputation of the Hou Mansion, not to mention, if the third prince is ...... It doesn't have to be in the same tree! ”
Ning Xueyan paused after speaking, looked at Mrs. Tai sincerely, and said that she was still unfinished, but she nodded at the end, every word of her words was for the sake of others, but it also showed that if the third prince was not good, the entire Hou Mansion might be dragged into the whirlpool, and it was not easy to get out of marrying a concubine, and marrying two was tied to the same boat.
The battle for succession, before it succeeds, no one can say that it is successful, not to mention that now the power is leaning towards the government and the opposition, but His Royal Highness King Yi, who is so ruthless and cold-blooded, is not easy to mess with.
Mrs. Tai was stunned, her sharp eyes looked at Ning Xueyan in astonishment, half speechless, I didn't expect that this most inconspicuous five girls would have such insight, how could she not shock Mrs. Tai's heart, her words were not clear, Ning Xueyan's words were not clear, but everyone's meaning was right, and the point stopped.
"It's hard for you to have such thoughts in the boudoir." After a long time, Mrs. Tai sighed, the expression on her face was a little gentle, Ning Xueyan's scruples were Mrs. Tai's scruples, before the matter was clear, she would not let her son be escorted to the entire Protector Mansion.
"Don't dare!" Ning Xueyan said softly, her eyes were not half frivolous, not at all like those young ladies of the family who blushed and couldn't beat their hearts when they saw the three princes, they were alienated in the light, even if they were given by Concubine Fang Caiya, they were also politely blocked back by her, and it seemed that they really didn't want to marry Ning Yuling to the Three Princes' Mansion together.
"Alright, let's go back and rest! You're tired today, your second sister is anxious, and although some words are rushed, they are unintentional, so forgive her as a sister. This time, Mrs. Tai had a sincere smile on her face, waved her hand, and specially asked Mrs. Yahuan to send Ning Xueyan's reward to her.
The part of the material she gets, although the material is very good, but the face is plain and elegant, and she wants to take care of her mother's death.
Ya Guifei brought a lot of people, occupying three courtyards, fortunately, I knew that she was coming, the temple had already left these courtyards that occupied the temple in the middle of the courtyard, the three princes did not enter their own courtyard, followed Ya Guifei to come over, and when they entered the house and sat down, the three princes looked very depressed.
"What? Do you really want that sick child? Seeing her son's sullen appearance, Concubine Ya suddenly smiled, and after beckoning someone to bring tea, she asked people to step back.
"Mother concubine, Ning Yuling is arrogant and domineering, she is a shrew, I don't want her, you didn't see what she did in the temple before, not only beating and scolding her own sister, but also a little slut, scolding again and again, scolding all filthy words, such a woman, how can she be worthy of my concubine."
The third prince said unhappily, took the tea and took a sip, inexplicably remembering Ning Yuling's appearance of scolding Ning Xueyan, the woman was plain and plain, but she was still calm and calm, and at a glance she knew that her temperament was extremely virtuous, but she was a suitable candidate for a concubine, more than a hundred times stronger than Ning Yuling's shrewd shape.
I have inquired before, she is very unpopular in the Protector's Mansion, is it not that she refused, but also because of the meaning of the Protector's Mansion, thinking of this, the third prince's heart warmed a little more, thinking that she has a pure heart, and is so pleasing and lovely, it is really reassuring.
"Mother, why don't you marry Ning Xueyan as a concubine?" He turned to Ya Guifei and said.
"No way!" Ya Guifei's face sank and she refused directly.
"Why?" The third prince couldn't help but ask.
"Why, do you want me to say it? You won't really like that girl anymore, looking at her appearance, she doesn't have a few years to live, and she doesn't even have a chance to marry, how can such a woman continue to have children for you, besides, she has nothing, what good is it for you to marry her? ”
Concubine Ya said coldly.
In fact, the three princes she said understood everything, and they also understood that it was unlikely that they would marry her as a concubine, a concubine born with a flat wife, it was still possible to be a side concubine, if she became her own concubine, but it was really low, and marrying Ning Yuling was not only for her person, but also for the forces behind her.
One is a favored daughter, the other is not a favored daughter, and it is also about Ning Zuan's attitude, how can the three princes not know the twists and turns in this.
"Fang just came to report over there, the assassination failed again, you still have the heart to think about these children's love at this time, don't worry, if it is possible, the mother concubine will definitely hire Ning Xueyan as a side concubine for you, isn't the Protector Mansion unwilling to marry both daughters to you, if she really can't marry this daughter, they won't take Qiao like this."
Ya Guifei said with a cold face, Mrs. Fang Cai rejected her again and again, she had already made her angry, there would be no outsiders in front of her, and there was no need to hide it, Mrs. Tai's thoughts she saw clearly, with Ning Xueyan's talent, she could indeed marry very well, but it was a pity that the sick body did not have the support of outsiders, but it was a hard injury.
Besides, today she deliberately asked Ning Xueyan to come over, and said such a thing, and knew that Mrs. Tai would not agree, but she still did it, originally to let the pungent second girl of the Houguo Mansion mind, this second girl is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, there will inevitably be action, she only needs to watch the play on the side.
Or he can stretch out a hand when Ning Xueyan is on the verge of despair......
Of course, these are not her main goals, how can the daughter-in-law in her picture be these two people, it's just that the situation is unclear now, just make a transition.
"The mother's idea for this matter is that the child will deal with the affairs first." As soon as he heard that there was another failure, the third prince's hand rubbed his brows, stood up, and put Ning Xueyan's advance aside, this was already the fifth wave of people sent by himself, and any wave did not hurt Ao Chenyi by half a point, if it continued like this, the manpower he secretly trained would not be enough!
"Let's see if there are any clues left, and clean them all!" Concubine Ya said coldly.
"The child knows." The third prince turned around and strode away, and the room was quiet, only Ya Guifei sat quietly under the lamp, her brows furrowed slightly.
"Niangniang, are you taking a bath and resting?" A woman in her mid-thirties knocked on the door, walked in, and asked.
"Okay." Concubine Ya nodded, seeing that the hour was not early, and there would be a lady to visit early tomorrow morning, so she nodded.
A group of palace maids came in, with incense towels for bathing in their hands, and followed Concubine Ya into the inside, where the soup had already been prepared, and under the service of the palace maids, in addition to the clothes, into the soup.
