Chapter 14 The Fish Are Frightened
As if in response to Yingluo's thoughts, Concubine Du's identity rose all the way, and the emperor named her a concubine, and with her titled status, she was superior among ordinary concubines.
Yingluo was really happy for a while, Niangniang had never liked Du Huilian's style of acting and the temper of the eldest lady, and now she took advantage of her name Wanwan to make her a concubine, and she lived a little more comfortably as she did at the beginning.
Concubine Wan has also radiated a lot in the past few days, thinking that His Majesty must be doting on Niangniang, and gradually have to warm up her heart.
"Yingluo, what kind of clothes do you think I should wear to go to the garden with His Majesty in the afternoon? Is it this water blue color with the lotus leaf picture, or this bright blue hydrological body? This apricot white one is also good, and it is embroidered with koi fish! β
"The slave looks at this bright blue hydrological body is very good, and the style is also the most ordinary popular style, so people can't make mistakes. The mother won this reward when she first entered the palace, which was too eye-catching. The slave thinks about what the mother wears, His Majesty is happy, it is better not to dress too outstanding, it is good to be safe and sound......"
Concubine Wan thought about it, picked out the hydrological palace dress according to Yingluo's words, and asked the palace people who were in charge of collecting personal belongings on the side to put the remaining two pieces back into the box.
"Sister Yingluo is older than me, she has been in Du Mansion for a long time, and she knows more naturally than me, and Wanwan will be taken care of by her sister in the future!"
"Where is Niangniang talking about, being able to serve Niangniang is a blessing that the slave has cultivated for several generations, and the slave will do his best to protect the Niangniang!"
Concubine Wan hurriedly helped Yingluo to get up, and two sweet pear vortices appeared with a smile on her face.
"Wan'er, look at how good this pond of lotus flowers is blooming!" The emperor's always indifferent face showed a little warmth, and after all, he leaned over and folded a half-opened white lotus flower with his own hands and sent it to the concubine.
"Wan'er's ten fingers are very good-looking, and they match this white Hanlian very well." The casual words of praise overflowed from the mouth like this, as if no matter what Concubine Wan did, she was always so perfect in Nangong Zhi's eyes.
"Your Majesty praised, the concubine is just a middle-aged person! The hands of the concubine are not comparable to the half-open Hanlian, this peanut is very beautiful, it is a pity to give it to the concubine...... "Concubine Wan doesn't know what His Majesty's mind is, a little happy, and more is an endless fear. I have long heard that the new emperor is suspicious and unkind to his relatives, but now he is like a young man who sympathizes with Dou Chukai to amuse himself, but he doesn't know what Nangong Zhi likes about him...... This exit became a less flattering statement.
Concubine Wan and even Long Xin were displeased, but they didn't have time to take it back, so they had to blow down their heads and look at the half-open Hanlian......
"How many times have I said it, Wan'er, there are no other concubines now, you just need to call me Brother Zhizhi!"
Nangong Zhiwei was angry because of Concubine Wan's inappropriate words, but the focus on it was very strange, Concubine Wan was stunned, and then lowered her head and shouted "Brother Rank......
Nangong Zhi smiled and took Wan Concubine's hand, "It's the first time Wan'er has called me like this, I'm not used to it, let's go, I'll take you to rowing, the scenery in the heart of this lake has a different flavor!" β
"Good ......"
There were already palace people waiting on the shore, but Nangong Zhi only left the guards who supported the boat and a palace maid who served closely, and let everyone else stay on the shore to wait, so he personally helped Wan Concubine to get on the boat.
"Look at the rippling blue waves, and your hydrological shirt is one with it. I remember that you had a palace costume embroidered with red carp playing in the water, which was more appropriate for the occasion! Nangong Zhi sat it down, and found a little ink to serve on the side, took the embroidered silk fan, and gave it to Wan Concubine to shade the sun, seeing that she was silent, only said, "I will never abandon Wan'er in this life, I am willing to swear to Jiu Cangtian that I will protect you in this life and this life!" So Wan'er doesn't have to live so restrained, the rules between those concubines are not suitable for you, I want Wan'er to treat this palace as a home-like existence. β
"Brother Zhi, Wan'er, can Wan'er really believe it once?" Wan's hand holding the fan trembled slightly, and her mouth was actually a little choked, "If Wan'er annoys Brother Chi one day, or Brother Chi finds out one day that Wan'er is not the person you knew before, will you still keep Wan'er, are you willing to coax me so gently every day?" β
Nangong Zhi grabbed Wan Concubine and leaned the two together tightly, and the magnetic voice sounded in her ears, which was so inducing, "Wan Wan little fool, I didn't coax you, I really love you......"
When Concubine Wan heard this, she didn't know how to respond for a while, and she was stunned in place, her heart seemed to be mixed.
Suddenly, she remembered the fire again, the flames were rolling, and she wanted to rush in, but she was stopped tightly by Hai'er and the other maids. She shouted in pain, "Hai'er, let go of me, my sister is still inside, and Miss Zixuan is also inside!" I'm going to save my sister! β
"Girl, don't struggle, the slave won't let you step further!"
A familiar voice came, and she looked like it was Lu Yuan, one of her mother's personal maids...... Unconsciously, her fingers were cold, and her whole body seemed to be pumped out, and she collapsed, and Hai'er hurriedly supported her with other maids, so that she did not fall on the cold ground.
"Hai'er, I know you're worried about me, so you're staying here, and why are there so many maids, it's your idea...... No, no, you have always been timid, how can you alarm your mother? Mama Luyuan, are you on your mother's orders? How could I be so naΓ―ve! The revenge of killing her mother is deeper than the sea of blood, how could her mother let her go! You say! You say! You did it, didn't you? β
"Miss doesn't have to be like this, if it weren't for Miss Ye Ning's intention of harming us, the slave wouldn't have to monitor Miss every day, this is to ensure Miss's safety! As for this fire, it's really not Madame's intention! If the lady wants to get rid of her, why bother to go to such lengths and agree to the Li family's proposal! β
"I'll tell you why!" At this time, Murong Yening was helped out by Zixuan, and their clothes and faces were stained with black ink by thick smoke, and they were no longer as smooth as before, and Murong Yening ......
"Because they want to humiliate me openly, and they don't want me to die because they want me to die, they want me to first reluctantly agree to the Li family's proposal to marry, and then the Li family openly quit my marriage! Pity...... Even if my face is ruined now, I will not give in to you half a step, I, Murong Ye Ning, as the eldest daughter of the Murong family, will not insult the lintel, today, I am here to abolish the marriage contract with the Li family, and vow not to step into the Li family for half a step in this life! β
Everyone present was silent, and Murong Wan sat there in a daze, letting tears slide down her cheeks like beads with broken threads, "How come, sister......"
"Sister, Xin'er didn't mean it! Xin'er really didn't mean it! I was just too curious, so I secretly ......"
Suddenly, Murong Wan's heart seemed to think of something, "Sister! Sister...... Is the heart wrong...... The heart is wrong...... I shouldn't have a mind that I shouldn't have, I shouldn't go to see the son of the Li family, and I shouldn't sneak into my sister's room! Murong Wanxin climbed to the front of the steps, looked at Murong Yening with a veil on his face, and spoke incoherently, "Xin'er is willing to listen to her sister's words, Xin'er is really wrong, my sister can punish me however she wants, sister don't want Xin'er, don't ...... Xin'er."
"Who is Miss Wan's pitiful appearance for now! In the end, my young lady is pitiful, what are you crying and crying here again! Seeing this, Zi Xuan frowned in disgust, and blocked Miss Ye Ning behind her, "Madame has always looked at our young lady unpleasantly, and felt that she was blocking Miss Wan's way, neither left nor right, but she didn't dare to really treat her harshly, pretending to be a good wife and mother, and now, my young lady has ended up like this, presumably she can't hinder Miss Wan anymore!" With a mother like this, is Miss Wan really simple and kind, or is she pretending to be like this to protect your mother? Exactly how, Miss knows it in her heart! β
"Okay, Zixuan, I know you feel sorry for me...... But I believe in Xin'er, she's my sister, and I know what she's like! β
"My heart rises!" Murong Yening helped Murong Wanxin up from the ground, and the little face in front of him was foggy, and tears rubbed on Murong Yening's blackened clothes, staining tears.
Murong Wan leaned on her sister's shoulder with a weak heart and couldn't cry anymore, her teeth trembled and trembled, "Sister...... Sorry ......"
"Don't cry, remember that you are the daughter of the Murong family! It was the tears of the Murong family that flowed! The Murong family was heroic in the era, and so were women! I will not allow you to shed another tear in front of outsiders! β
Murong Ye Ning held Murong Wanxin's shoulder tightly, her eyes were extremely firm, as if it wasn't her who ruined her appearance, "Let's go, let's go home!" β
