Chapter 47: Hypocrisy (1)

"Why don't you go and have a look?" Wei Nong looked at the direction of the fire outside the window and took the initiative to ask.

Nie Xingyi turned his head to look at her and saw that she had no expression. He didn't know if she had heard about Ming Danshu and Nie Xingji, so he couldn't guess her thoughts, so he only thought to himself in his heart:

Tonight is his wedding, if he leaves his newlywed wife at this moment and goes to visit a powerful concubine, is this in line with etiquette? Especially, this concubine is still not at the same time as him.

"Flowing Cloud Hall suddenly caught fire, could it be some kind of trap?" He muttered quietly.

"Whether it's a trap or not, you should check it out. After all, she's your cousin. "It's slightly thick.

Nie Xingyi suddenly realized. Yes! Although tonight is his wedding, Ming Danshu is the niece of his mother, the concubine of the Ming Dynasty, and the two brothers are both concubines...... It was absolutely inappropriate for him not to visit.

Even if it is inconvenient to visit her as a prince, he can care for her as a cousin. In this way, it is fair and reasonable.

If he doesn't go, it will even more seem that Ming Danshu is deliberately setting fire and openly competing for favor. If it spreads, not to mention that the prestige of his East Palace is ruined, the queen mother and the Ming family will not look good on their faces.

On the contrary, if this water is a big trap, at least he can be attributed to "competition for favor", under the pretext that the competition between children is jealous, and the big thing becomes small.

"If you don't feel embarrassed, I'll go and see." Nie Xingyi said in a low voice.

Wei Nong nodded: "Go ahead!" I can't show up tonight, so you can say hello on my behalf. ”

"Okay." Nie Xingyi was about to step away, thought about it, and said, "You rest!" It's not a big deal. ”

"Your Highness is sympathetic." The slight chat returned with a smile.

Nie Xingyi knew that she was perfunctory, so he didn't say more, and went straight to open the door of the Hanzi Palace, pretending to ask: "What's the matter?" So noisy outside? ”

"Back to ...... Back to His Royal Highness, Liangdi's Liuyun Hall caught fire. A little eunuch stumbled back.

"Why don't you report it?" Nie Xingyi asked angrily.

"Yes...... It was Mama who said, "You are getting married tonight, and you must not be disturbed." ”

"Lead the way!" Nie Xingyi didn't say anything more.

Wei Nong listened to him in the room, only felt funny, and turned back to the inner sanctum to rest.

*****

Over there, Nie Xingyi rushed to Liuyun Palace, only to realize that it was the palace maid on duty who knocked over the candle flame and burned along the curtain. The palace maid hurriedly ran out to find someone to put out the fire, and when she came back, the fire was already raging. Fortunately, the fire started in the side hall, and the night was dark, and no one was injured.

"How's Liangdi?" Nie Xingyi asked directly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a slender woman in palace clothes running out from behind him, and saluted in shock: "Your Highness! The concubine is all right. ”

Nie Xingyi hurriedly grabbed her pair of jade hands and helped her up.

When she got up and looked up, the face of the woman in palace clothes was reflected by the palace lamp. Long eyebrows, starry eyes and bright teeth, pink cheeks and red lips, plump and beautiful, and a faint cinnabar red mole was born in the center of her eyebrows, which added a touch of charm to her in her dignity.

This is Ming Danshu, wearing a colorful dark flower cloud brocade skirt, with a set of red gold dotted emerald ruyi hairpins on her hairpin, and the steps are swaying with her figure, and she is even more delicate.

It's truly beautiful. Looking at Yan Guo, no matter how she looks, talents, or her background, she is a leader in women. Such a woman could have been the crown princess, but because of King Yan's thoughts, she only became the crown prince Liangdi in the end.

She was born in the Ming clan and was the niece of Queen Helian. This is both a help and an obstacle for her.

Ming Danshu specially put on makeup today, and she was more particular than ever. Everyone said that it was because of the prince's wedding that she re-put on makeup to show the joy of the East Palace. In fact, she is not for the crown prince Nie Xingyi.
