Chapter 151: The concubine is missing so much
Ning Qi shook his head slowly, "She is indeed a member of our Da Ning Dynasty, not only that, but she also has a deep connection with us, but I only saw her when I was a child, and I haven't seen her for so many years, and my impression is already very vague." ”
Then Luo Yunshuang is even more unclear, she only came to the capital five years ago, and her attention was all on how to avoid pursuit, how could she know so many things!
"Speaking of which, she is also my aunt, back then, there were three daughters in Dingguo Mansion, mother Tang Xuewei, aunt Tang Xueying and little aunt Zhao Xueqi, little aunt is the daughter of my grandfather's best friend, since she was a child, her parents died, she was accepted as a righteous daughter by her grandfather, and she grew up with her mother and aunt in Dingguo Mansion, and later although her aunt was in love with the Emperor of Southern Chu, she was unwilling to go to Nanchu so far alone, and her little aunt volunteered to accompany her to Nanchu in order to fulfill her aunt's love, and became the side concubine of the Emperor of Southern Chu."
Luo Yunshuang thought about it, and was still very puzzled, "Then what about later, after so many years, do you still have contacts?" ”
She guessed that there should be no contact, the princess refused to forgive her mother because of Ke'er's death, and cut off contact with the Dingguo Mansion and the Queen of Southern Chu, this little aunt and aunt can serve a husband together, it seems that the relationship must be very good, and it must have been excluded by the princess from the people who contact her.
Sure enough, Ning Qi shook his head, "No, since I can remember, my aunt has not been close to us, and you also know that since the matter of Ke'er, all people and things related to the Dingguo Mansion have become taboo in Ning Wangfu, and naturally no one dares to mention it." ”
Luo Yunshuang nodded and said, "So in this way, in fact, the two aunts should be very concerned about us, otherwise why didn't we arrive in Nanchu yet, and Aunt Xueqi sent someone to pick us up?" Shall we go see her now? ”
Having said that, but I don't know why, Luo Yunshuang always has a little doubt in her heart, although they are both aunts, but Zhao Xueqi is not close after all, it stands to reason that it is her aunt Tang Xueying who is closer to Ning Qi, why is there no movement on her side now, but Aunt Xueqi enthusiastically sent someone to greet her?
Could it be because Aunt Xue Ying was afraid that Ning Qi and Luo Yunshuang would refuse to forgive her like the princess, so the little aunt came forward?
If that's the case, then it's over, after all, Aunt Xue Ying and Aunt Xue Qi are sisters, and whoever comes forward is almost the same. Luo Yunshuang believed that as long as she arrived at the Nanchu Palace, she would definitely see the two aunts.
"Are you sure you want to go into the palace now to see the concubine? Don't forget, the day after tomorrow is the hairpin competition, shouldn't you take a break? As for meeting the concubine, is it more appropriate to meet after the competition? ”
Luo Yunshuang and Ning Qi were already preparing to enter the palace with the carriages and horses that came to greet them, who knew that Song Mingzhao had different opinions after hearing the news.
Looking at the smiling expression in Song Mingzhao's eyes, Luo Yunshuang suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, as if Song Mingzhao's words meant to warn them that there would be no return for this trip. I don't know why, when Luo Yunshuang stepped out of the carriage and saw the eunuch who came to greet her, she also had a strong sense of resistance in her heart. She had survived death and knew the accuracy of her feelings.
Her face was silent, but Luo Yunshuang had already turned over several thoughts in her heart, she thought about it for a while, although she was an aunt, but after all, she had not been in touch for many years, and there were assassinations and ambushes along the way, they had just come to Nanchu, and they had not yet stood still to find out the situation, they must not act rashly, it is better to be cautious.
Luo Yunshuang and Ning Qi glanced at each other, and after understanding each other's thoughts, Luo Yunshuang had an idea in her heart.
"These two are the little prince and the little princess, right? The slave is the chief eunuch beside the concubine Niangniang, and the mother has already received a letter from home, saying that the little prince and the little princess are coming, but the mother is looking forward to it day and night! For so many years, the concubine Niangniang has not seen her family, she really misses it tightly, and now the little princess and the little princess are here, and please understand our mother's thoughts, so follow the slave into the palace to see the mother! The eunuch hunched over and said to Luo Yunshuang.
Luo Yunshuang always felt that this eunuch was a little strange, always hunched over and looked grovelling, but he was not a normal servant, but hunched over his waist and half-tilted his head to look at people, while the corners of his mouth were raised, hooking an arc that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, coupled with those slender eyes, he felt a sense of contempt.
"Presumably the concubine also knows that our little princess is not in good health, and this journey is really hard, since she wants to see her aunt, she naturally has to pack up and go spiritually. You go back and tell the concubine Niangniang first, and say that you will wait for the little princess to rest in two days, and then go to see her. ”
Luo Yunshuang quickly changed her attention, even if the other party was her own aunt, she had to be careful and find out the situation before going.
The smile on the corner of the eunuch's mouth deepened, and the person who looked at it was a little uncomfortable, "The little princess is not right, our concubine Niangniang knows that the little princess is not in good health, and she has already prepared all kinds of big tonic medicines, just to nourish the little princess, you are afraid that you can't wait for the past two days, the concubine Niangniang is thinking about it tightly, let's go with the slave, otherwise the mother will blame it, and the slave can't afford it!" ”
Luo Yunshuang said with a smile, "The noble concubine is kind, I won't blame you, if the mother really feels sorry for her nephew, she won't have to let the little prince see her when she is unwell, even our emperor of Daning will not force the little prince like this!" ”
The eunuch lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said, "The concubine said that if it is inconvenient for the little princess to see her, please ask the little princess to go first, after all, the mother has never seen her nephew and daughter-in-law, when you arrive in Nanchu, if you don't go to see her immediately, you shouldn't be able to say much, right?" ”
The two of them are talking with hidden needles, and when it comes to this extent, Luo Yunshuang is really hard to refuse, Ning Qi's poor health can be used as an excuse, but she really has no reason not to visit. And she also wanted to see what kind of person she was before letting Ning Qi meet this Aunt Xueqi.
"Okay, I'll go with you. Chu Chu, you follow me into the palace to see your aunt, Ning An Pian, you two take care of the little prince. Luo Yunshuang said neatly.
"No way!" Ning Qi refused without thinking about it, "Chu Chu has never entered the palace, and he doesn't know the rules of the palace, so let Ning An accompany you." ”
Luo Yunshuang knew that Ning Qi wanted Ning An to protect her, compared to Chu Chu, Ning An's martial arts didn't know how many times better. But she wanted Ning An to stay and protect Ning Qi, she hadn't forgotten that Ning Qi had a fierce Song Mingzhao by her side, in case Song Mingzhao had any bad intentions, with Ning An by her side, Ning Qi's safety was also guaranteed.
But before she could say anything, Song Mingzhao sneered, "The little prince is concerned about it, although Ning An understands the rules of the palace, he is a man, and it is inconvenient to follow the little princess, so let's do it, Ning An stays, as for the little princess, you ...... I'll lend you a girl! ”
After speaking, Song Mingzhao raised his hand behind him and said, "Yingying come here." ”
As soon as the words fell, a beautiful girl behind him walked over gracefully, bowed down, and Song Mingzhao said, "You follow the little princess into the palace, no matter when, everything is under the orders of the little princess." ”
"Yes."
Song Mingzhao quickly stuffed a girl to her, but Luo Yunshuang was in a dilemma, it was naturally good to leave Ning An to protect Ning Qi, but Song Mingzhao's people, can she trust?
Luo Yunshuang glanced at Ning Qi, and saw Ning Qi nodding at her, meaning that she could believe this girl, although Luo Yunshuang was a little puzzled why Ning Qi believed in Song Mingzhao so much, but she knew that Ning Qi must have his reasons for doing this, and he believed that Ning Qi would not let her have unsafe factors around her, so he was relieved.
Taking Ying Ying into the carriage prepared by the eunuch, Luo Yunshuang looked at the bustling Nanchu Market along the way, listening to the noise with a completely different accent from Daning, but there was a different feeling.
"Yingying, do you know anything about this concubine?"
Luo Yunshuang glanced outside the carriage and said in a low voice. She found that it was still beneficial to take Song Mingzhao with her, at least Ying Ying was from Southern Chu, and she would definitely know more about Southern Chu than Ning An and Chu Chu.
"The slave doesn't know much, I only know that the concubine and the current queen are sisters, they are all people of the Daning Dynasty, when the emperor went to the Daning Dynasty to travel in distress, it was the concubine Niangniang who saved him, and later the emperor and the queen became married, and the concubine Niangniang also followed. Maybe it's because of the life-saving grace of the year, even if she has no children, the emperor still loves her very much. ”
"No children? Pamper her? ”
Luo Yunshuang suddenly discovered two abnormal places, Zhao Xueqi has been married to the Emperor of Southern Chu for so many years, how can she have no children? It is surprising that a woman without children can still sit firmly in the position of a concubine.
Also, isn't the emperor of Nanchu in love with her Aunt Xue Ying? Even Aunt Xue Ying escaped her marriage with Prince Ning for him, so how could the emperor love Zhao Xueqi very much?
Can a man really love two women at the same time?
For a moment, Luo Yunshuang suddenly stopped envying the sisterly affection between Tang Xueying and Zhao Xueqi, but still sympathized with them.
How painful it must be for a woman to endure the love of a man she loves for herself!
Two sisters with deep feelings, but married to the same man, what will become of them? Is Aunt Xueqi really willing to be subordinate to others? And why have you not had children for so many years?
Luo Yunshuang suddenly thought of Luo Yunxiao, she was almost sure that there must be other stories between these two aunts!
