Chapter 296: Teach Her to Know Her Identity (3)
Yun Qing saw that he had been back in the palace for so long, Rong Cheng finally opened his mouth to explain the matter of Concubine Ning to himself, and he breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his efforts in this period of time were not in vain, and he was finally not so awkward.
After the two came to Sijin Palace together, the other concubines had already arrived.
Concubine Ning glanced at Yuan Qi behind Rong Cheng with a faint look, and saw Yuan Qi holding a nanmu box in his arms, and a smile appeared in her eyes. The other concubines naturally noticed it, and a trace of envy flashed in their eyes.
It's not that they lack jewelry, it's just that His Majesty specially ordered Yuyan Pavilion to do it, and this intention is really envious of others.
Concubine Ning stepped forward with a smile and said, "Your Majesty and Concubine Yun are here, please sit down." Your Majesty, please take your seat. ”
Rong Cheng sat next to Concubine Ning, but said, "Why don't you say it in advance on your birthday?"
Concubine Ning was stunned, and there was a faint bad premonition in her heart: "Your Majesty is busy, and the concubine feels that there is no need to bother you because of these trivial things." Besides, aren't you preparing a congratulatory gift?"
As soon as Concubine Ning said this, many people's eyes fell on Yun Qing's body. The meaning is well known to each other.
Concubine Yun is in the palace, it is too smooth, I don't know how many people are waiting to see her deflated.
Sometimes these people are just so bored that they like to do things that harm others and themselves, so as to soothe their long-term lonely and empty hearts.
Liu Yan said with a smile: "What congratulatory gift has Your Majesty prepared? Concubine Ning quickly open it and show it to us." ”
Concubine Ning was a little embarrassed to take the box, and when the palace people opened it, it was an extremely rare Dongzhu, the size of a pigeon's egg.
This gift is expensive enough, worthy of Concubine Ning, but the smile on Concubine Ning's lips froze, and the other concubines saw it, and they looked at each other for a while.
Didn't it mean that His Majesty ordered the Yuyan Pavilion to make a batch of jewelry for Concubine Ning as a congratulatory gift?
Yun Qing said with a smile: "This Dongzhu is a rare treasure, Your Majesty is really not thin to Concubine Ning, in comparison, the concubine's gift is a little out of her hand." ”
Concubine Ning came back to her senses, pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly, and said for her own abnormality: "How did Your Majesty give such a precious thing to your concubine, the concubine didn't reflect it for a while, and I hope Your Majesty won't laugh." ”
Rong Cheng coughed dryly: "It's good if you like it." ”
This thing was picked by Yuan Qi, and before it was disassembled, Rong Cheng himself didn't know what was inside. Yuan Qi also knew that Concubine Ning Niangniang was also a pivotal figure in His Majesty's place, although it was not as good as Concubine Yun's Niangniang, but except for Concubine Yun, it was rare to see His Majesty so attentive to any woman.
Yuan Qi has been in the palace for so many years, although because he follows the right master, he doesn't have to deliberately please anyone like other eunuchs, but he will still follow Rong Cheng's intentions in everything.
Yun Qing knew this very well, so when he saw the precious East Pearl, his heart still sank.
It seems that Concubine Ning is still very important here in Rong Cheng......
The faces of the other concubines were a little unpredictable, some were incredulous, and some were gloating.
Liu Yan glanced at Concubine Ning, who had a somewhat unsightly face, and said with a sarcastic smile on her lips: "What congratulatory gift did Concubine Yun prepare?"
"I'm ashamed to say that there is nothing valuable in the concubine, but His Majesty sent a batch of jewelry to Yunrong Palace today, and the concubine herself couldn't wear too much, so she thought about borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. After that, he seemed to be afraid that Concubine Ning would dislike it: "Concubine Ning Niangniang rest assured, this palace is not easy to send too shabby, this batch of jewelry is made by Yuyan Pavilion, although it is not as good as the Dongzhu sent by His Majesty, but it is also worthy of Niangniang, and this palace specially brought a set." ”
The palace people opened the gift box, and after seeing a set of jewelry inside, many concubines showed envy in their eyes.
Yunqing was not childish, and brought the most precious set that Rong Cheng gave her, whether it was hairpins, bracelets, earrings, etc., all of them were made of crystal.
Yun Qing was so generous, but it made Concubine Ning feel even more uncomfortable.
Scold......
This Concubine Yun said that she didn't give any expensive gifts, and this set of jewelry alone is worth a fortune. To outsiders, it seems that Yun Qing is just saying polite words, but for Concubine Ning, the meaning of suppression is very obvious.
Concubine Ning said: "Sister Yunfei's congratulatory gift is too valuable, I'm afraid this palace can't afford it!"
Yun Qing smiled: "Sister, is this a congratulatory gift from this palace?"
Rong Cheng frowned slightly and said, "Concubine Yun has a heart, you just take it!"
Concubine Ning almost couldn't help it, but fortunately, her temperament has always been calm, and she smiled at Yun Qingqiang: "Then thank you Sister Yunfei, sister has a heart!"
Yun Qing raised his eyebrows slightly at her, and a smile hung on the corner of his lips. In Concubine Ning's eyes, it was obviously a naked provocation.
Concubine Ning didn't know how this banquet ended, no matter how good her mood was on weekdays, she was still a little unbearable at this moment, and she just felt that many people were watching her jokes.
Originally, everyone thought that the jewelry was her birthday gift, and she once said that she would give half of it to Yunqing, but now that she thinks about it, she really feels very embarrassed......
Rong Cheng was probably busy with government affairs, so he only sat for a while and left.
After Rong Cheng left, those concubines couldn't hold back after all, and Concubine Xiang took the lead in speaking: "It turns out that this jewelry was given to Concubine Yun by His Majesty, why didn't Niangniang say it earlier?"
Yun Qing said: "It's not that this palace doesn't say it, it's just that this palace didn't expect it." ”
"But even so, what does it mean that the mother brought this jewelry?"
It was the tearful concubine among the Zhao sisters who spoke, Yun Qing glanced at her and said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, Concubine Ning said earlier that if His Majesty gave her jewelry, she would share half of the palace." Hongu can't be stingy, can he?"
Concubine Jing was blocked and couldn't speak, indeed, it was Concubine Ning who pretended to be generous on the surface, but in fact she deliberately humiliated Yun Qing first, and Yun Qing is now using this stubble to plug their mouths, which is indeed speechless.
In fact, if it were someone else, Yun Qing would not want to care about it, but Concubine Ning was different, Concubine Ning regarded herself as a thorn in her eye, and Yun Qing was not, Rong Cheng's attitude towards Concubine Ning made her wary.
Liu Yan said with a smile: "It's the same for anyone, and Concubine Yun has a heart." ”
Anyway, Yun Qing and Concubine Ning are the same annoyance in Liu Yan's eyes, and she has a lot of fun sitting on the side of the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
Let's fight, it's best for these two mermaids to die and lose both!
The banquet broke up.
In the evening, Rong Cheng came to Yunrong Palace, but the people from Sijin Palace came again.
Today is Concubine Ning's birthday, it is not surprising that she will send someone to invite Rong Cheng, Yun Qing expected Concubine Ning to be like this early in the morning.
However, Yun Qing's face turned cold, and he said to the palace man who came from Si Jin Palace: "Why did Concubine Ning Niangniang come to invite Your Majesty every time and again, and she was invited to the palace? Originally, the palace didn't want to care! It's just that you don't take the palace in your eyes?"
The palace people of Sijin Palace were not so easy to handle, and when they heard this, they knelt down and said: "If Concubine Huiyun Niangniang's words are indeed for a reason, if not, Concubine Ning Niangniang will definitely not dare to do this!"
"Yes......"
Rong Cheng saw that Yun Qing seemed to be really angry, and said to the palace man: "Go and tell you Niangniang, I won't go tonight." ”
Gong Ren's face changed.
"Don't. Yun Qing said: "Today is also Concubine Ning's birthday, Your Majesty should go and have dinner with Concubine Ning." ”
Concubine Ning celebrates her birthday, if she doesn't let Rong Cheng go today, she will definitely be seized and arranged. Yun Qing has never cared about this, but she only doesn't want to be said to be, because of her, Rong Cheng broke the rules.
Rong Cheng naturally thought of this, and Tongyun Qing said: "Then I went first." ”
Yun Qing glanced at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, and said in his ear with Rong Cheng: "Remember to come back!"
This is Yunqing's more capital than Concubine Ning, she can show jealousy, coquettishness and other actions in front of Rong Cheng. And Concubine Ning, who is smart and prepared, gradually approaches Rong Cheng in a subtle and silent way, and there are many taboos, and she must always control her sense of proportion and maintain her down-to-earth and generous image.
Yun Qing probably stimulated her today, and perhaps, it is unknown that Concubine Ning is ready to further seduce Rong Cheng
Thinking of this, Yun Qing added another sentence in his ear: "If you can't come back before the unitary time, don't come to me in the future!"
Rong Cheng: "......"
It's unreasonable! It was she who let him go, and she had to set a time for him.
It's just that for some reason, seeing Yunqing like this, Rong Cheng didn't have the slightest disgust, but what had been blocked in his heart these days was much smoother.
......
It's getting cooler now, and it's getting darker a lot earlier.
When Rong Cheng arrived at Sijin Palace, the sky was already dark, and the palace lamps were burning in Sijin Palace, and the delicacies had already been arranged, all of which were cooked by Concubine Ning herself.
When the two of them had dinner, they didn't speak. Concubine Ning had already discovered that Rong Cheng hated women who talked during meals, so she had been so quiet.
After eating, Concubine Ning said: "Your Majesty, every year when the concubines celebrated their birthdays, their mothers would take the concubines to put river lanterns to pray, I don't know ...... Your Majesty."
"Let's go. ”
Rong Cheng wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and he didn't talk too much nonsense. I just want to accompany her to finish the river lantern and return to Yunrong Palace.
Concubine Ning had already prepared two lotus lanterns, and candles were inserted in the lamps.
Rong Cheng was puzzled: "Why did you prepare two?"
"Doesn't Your Majesty have a wish?"
Rong Cheng smiled: "After all, today is not my birthday, is it useful for me to make a wish?"
"It should work. Concubine Ning showed her little woman's side at the right time, and said with a smile: "Then the concubine made a wish to let His Majesty's river lantern be fulfilled, so it's always okay, right?"
Rong Cheng: "You just have to promise yourself." ”
"So, did Your Majesty agree to be with your concubine?"
Rong Cheng didn't answer, he accepted the lantern that Concubine Ning prepared for him.
At this time, the weather was already extremely cold, Concubine Ning put on a cloak for the two, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't catch a cold, look back, Sister Yun is afraid that she will not finish with her concubines." ”
