Due to the slight injury, Nie Xingji walked extremely slowly, and even the Mid-Autumn Festival was delayed on the road. However, he has always been unhurried, and the newspaper was also sent by a special person every day for him to review.

Wei Nong also understood in his heart that Nie Xingji dared to leave the palace for so long, which showed that the situation between the DPRK and China had stabilized. While she was moved, the taste was also more complicated and indescribable, not only haunting Chu Li's death, but also unable to erase Nie Xingji's life-saving grace to her......

If she hated him as much as she had done before, she could not do it anymore; It is impossible to forgive him completely. As a result, she didn't know what kind of attitude to take towards him.

Along the way, they didn't have a chance to talk too much—at night at the inn, he would pick up the lamp and dispose of the music; During the day, he would occasionally read the recitals or close his eyes; The most he said was to ask about her injuries. In this way, they are silent, and the atmosphere seems ambiguous and stiff.

In particular, he had looked her up to the waist.

However, there is also good news, Lian Kuo's secret medicine has a wonderful effect, although it can't "raise the dead", but it can really "flesh and bones". She had a deep stab wound on her back, and she recovered very quickly because of this secret medicine. By the time she arrived in early October, she was able to walk.

Nie Xingji still placed her in Weiyang Palace, but the palace people were all replaced with new faces, and five days later, Xiaoxin was transferred to serve her, and nothing else was mentioned.

Only then did Wei Nong know that after Xiaoxin returned to Yanwang Palace from Jiang Guo, she directly received the errand of the secretary of the Shanggong Bureau, and she was a six-grade female official; In less than half a year, when Shanggong was old and retired (retired), Xiaoxin was promoted to the position of Shanggong, and now she is also a five-grade female official in this palace. Even Nie Xingji's concubines knew that she was the most valued female official of the regent, and they didn't dare to make a mistake in front of her, and the harem respected her.

Only Concubine Ming Shu occasionally put on a face for her, and it was all Queen Ming Lianpian who helped her out of it.

Xiaoxin said that she was transferred to serve Weinong, but in fact, she came to be a companion. Now she is also the position of the Shang Palace, and she is busy with affairs every day, and often has to report to the queen and Concubine Ming. Wei Nong naturally won't let her do any rough work, both of them just talk to relieve boredom.

In the past, when she was a palace maid, Xiaoxin did not use powder, and she always wore a loose hanging bun and a simple willow blue palace dress. Now that I have done the Zhengwupin Shang Palace, the costumes and regulations are different, and I dress up like this, not only my face is more and more prominent, but the whole person is also full of style, and I even look at it with envy.

The woman who got her wish was like this.

From Xiaoxin's mouth, Wei Nong knew a lot of things. For example, the person in charge of the phoenix seal in this palace is the queen Ming Lianpian on the surface, but in fact she is also the assistant manager of the concubine Ming Danshu, the two are called sisters, but the relationship is not close, they check and balance each other, and maintain the most delicate balance in the palace.

There are also the concubines that Nie Xingji brought into the palace from Fangzhou, more than ten of them have been dismissed, and the remaining few obedient and gentle ones have been sealed, but they can be regarded as boring as widows. At first, Ming Danshu went to trouble them, but later found that they were not worried, so she was lazy to take care of them.

And what surprised Wei Nong the most was that in the more than a year since he left the Yan Palace, Nie Xingji had no heirs! Not a single woman's belly has ever moved! But she clearly remembered that when she left the palace to detoxify, Ming Danshu was already pregnant, and she once showed off her power in front of her! Is that kid......

Wei Nong was quite suspicious of this, so he asked a few words when Xiaoxin was free. How can you know that Xin said with a smile: "When you went to Jiang Country to detoxify, the slave maid also went with you, how do you know whether her belly is big or small." However, since the slave maid returned to the palace, she has never seen Her Royal Highness go to her palace, and she thought that it was just a fake pregnancy to invite pets, and she was not pregnant. ”

Having said that, it sounds reasonable, but Wei Nong always feels that there is a lot of guilt. But she herself is still injured, so she has no time to trace these old things.

Thankfully, since she returned to Yanwang Palace, Ming Danshu has never been to the door, and the rest of the old acquaintances have visited, Xiaoxin has also pushed them all under Nie Xingji's instructions, and Ming Lian has not given face. In this way, she can recuperate with peace of mind, and her body is gradually plump.

By mid-October, Nie Xingji began to come to Weiyang Palace every day for dinner, sometimes for lunch, sometimes for dinner, but after all, he didn't stay here because of his reputation. Wei Nong originally resisted, but when he thought of his life-saving grace, he couldn't say some cruel words.

The winter moon is getting colder, and she can occasionally go to the imperial garden to walk around, so she finally met Ming Danshu who was waiting here. Wei Min looked at the sky and couldn't help laughing.

Ming Danshu is also dressed up today, wearing a gold and silver Ruyi moire satin dress elegant and light, wrapped in an increasingly slender figure, it seems that she is not afraid of the cold of winter. Wei Nong looked down at the makeup satin fox cheeks on his body, and the contrast between the two compartments, one is like summer, and the other is like winter.

I haven't seen her for more than a year, but Ming Danshu's complexion is not bad, and the smiling appearance at the moment makes the natural cinnabar mole between the eyebrows even more beautiful and charming. It's a pity that she brought a slave maid today, and many people appreciate her gorgeous beauty, and Weinong silently feels sorry for her in her heart.

"Queen, it's been a long time." Ming Danshu was the first to say hello.

Slightly weakly said: "Concubine Shu is really good at laughing, where is the queen mother from now?" I should have said that. "She is in a good mood today, and she hasn't come out to bask in the sun for a long time, but she is interested in grinding her words. Unfortunately, someone took the initiative to send it to the door.

Ming Danshu raised her eyebrows slightly, and then smiled: "After more than a year, Niangniang's speech has become more and more clever." ”

"You've won a prize." Wei Nong also laughed.

Ming Danshu obviously came prepared, and when she heard the words, she didn't change her smile, she only looked up and down slightly, and said with a smile: "What kind of luck did you encounter this year to be so weak?" No wonder His Highness didn't let me wait for a visit. ”

Wei Nong looked up at a distant white cloud in the sky, and smiled back: "Naturally, it is not as lucky as Concubine Shu, for more than a year, you are still sitting in the position of Concubine Shu, 'justifiable' in charge of the six palaces, I really envy others." ”

As soon as she said this, Ming Danshu's face changed slightly.

Wei Nong still looked at the white clouds in the sky: "It's the early dynasty right now, Xiaoxin also went to the Feng Dynasty Palace on an errand, you deliberately chose this time to visit the imperial garden, is it just to say a kind word?" ”

Ming Danshu finally sneered.

Wei Nong turned his eyes to see her expression, and there was an inexplicable happiness in his heart, and there was ...... Familiarity. She has been away from the palace for more than a year, and she has almost forgotten what it is like to argue with others, but now that she looks back, she has vented all the haze that has been depressed in her heart for many days.

Women, as expected, like to compete for the upper hand in their tongues.

Wei Nong decided to accept it when he saw it, so he deliberately gathered the big coat on his body and coughed lightly: "My body has not healed, so in order not to pass the illness to you, I still said goodbye first." ”

Hearing this, Ming Danshu finally grabbed a handle: "Oh? Is it 'farewell' or 'resignation'? ”

Wei Nong glanced at her, didn't answer, and walked straight past her. She stepped in front of Wei Nong, and asked with a sneer: "What?" Can't get along outside, and want to come back? You want to be that shameless horse, and Your Highness is not a grass for you to trample on! ”

This was too insulting to say, Wei Nong stood still, and his eyes suddenly became cold: "Niangniang should still maintain her manners, it is really a loss of identity to say such things!" ”

Ming Danshu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled proudly: "What? Is it still a queen's shelf? ”

"Naturally, no." Wei Nong's face remained unchanged, his eyes fell on her lower abdomen, and he sighed leisurely: "But I'm sorry for you, after I was deposed, you could have been the queen, but you would rather have your body damaged than give up your position...... It is really a virtuous person and a broad mind. ”

Ming Danshu suddenly turned pale and pursed her lips without saying a word.

Shame on yourself! Wei Nong sneered secretly in his heart, and smiled coldly: "Concubine Niangniang is noble, gentle and virtuous, unlike me, who is from a humble background...... Now I am not in good health, and I am very forgetful, but if my mother shakes in front of my eyes two more times, I may be able to remember a lot of things. ”

She said and bowed to Ming Danshu Yingying: "If the lady concubine has no advice, the folk girl will 'leave'." ”

After saying that, she was about to take a step, but unexpectedly, Ming Danshu quickly calmed down and stopped her again: "I still have something to tell you, which can be regarded as a reward." ”

Without waiting for a slight reaction, Ming Danshu had already spit out a sentence with fragrant lips and teeth, and then took the lead to leave. Standing in place, his mind was indistinguishable.

*****

At lunch on this day, Nie Xingji came as usual, and when he saw Wei Nong, he really asked about the Imperial Garden this morning. Wei Nong's words were perfunctory, and Nie Xingchen saw that she was understated, but he didn't say anything more.

The two dined at the same table, and they were silent for a while, but in the end, it was Nie Xingji who opened his mouth first and explained: "Now there has been no one in charge in the harem, Ming Lianpian followed Nie Xingyi after all, and there were some things that were not good for her to participate, so I retained Ming Danshu." ”

Wei Nong silently picked up the meal and did not speak.

Nie Xingji put a chopstick deer breast into her bowl, and said: "If there is a more suitable person to sit in the harem, she will naturally be abandoned." ”

Wei Nong's right hand suddenly paused, raised his eyes and smiled: "Throw it away when you run out, Your Highness is not afraid of being scolded for being 'unkind'?" ”

Nie Xingchen simply put down his chopsticks and looked at her fixedly: "Whether I am unkind or not, you know best." ”

Wei Nong did not dodge his gaze, but looked back at him. For a year and a half, he was thinner than before, but he seemed to have more poise. The former fiery eyes were shrouded in a layer of indifference and majesty, and the spirit of the king of the world began to emerge.

She suddenly remembered what Xiaoxin had said yesterday - "Do you know why His Highness has not ascended the throne for a long time? Because if you don't ascend the throne, you won't be established later, and you don't have to pay attention to the words of 'rain and dew are evenly wet' and 'heirs are important'. ”

Then, Wei Nong remembered Ming Danshu's last sentence this morning - "Qin Tianjian has combined the eight characters of His Royal Highness and your birthday, do you know what to calculate?" ”
