Chapter 924: Concubine Wan's Temptation
Concubine Wan walked over with gentle eyebrows, looked at Jiaxiu with disdain, and said, "Jiaxiu, why are you so presumptuous now, and this palace will definitely punish you if you are so powerless." Miss Ji, you can put the bucket here, Jiaxiu, you can bring it in yourself. ”
"Niangniang, why are you still looking at outsiders?"
Jiaxiu stomped her feet, originally wanting to degrade Jiang Yao, but she didn't expect to be scolded because of Ji Honghua, so she bent her body and took the bucket and walked towards the kitchen.
Concubine Wan looked at Jiang Yao with a gentle smile, her eyebrows and eyes were full of temptation.
"Miss Ji, don't be surprised, Jiaxiu has served me since she was a child, so she is inevitably arrogant. As for the emperor, I will intercede for Miss Ji again, Miss Ji should not be anxious and give up. ”
This is Jiang Yao's first person to intercede for her in front of Duan Jingyan when she came to the palace, and Meng Tao is the one who really helps her.
She was grateful, and nodded and said, "Thank you, Niangniang." ”
She didn't know the identity of the lady in front of her, but the warmth in her eyes made her feel very warm, at least in this palace city, there was someone who was good for her.
"Miss Ji wants to open some, the emperor is just angry, and he will be angry in a few days, and I will go to ask the girl for a name when the time comes."
Jiang Yao shook her head and said, "I just want to get out of the palace, can Niangniang help me?" ”
There was a look of complaint and anger, which made Concubine Wan very puzzled, this harem was the first one who wanted to leave the palace, and those concubines who were locked up in the cold palace still wanted to get grace.
"Why do you want to leave the palace?"
"It's too cold in this palace, there is no sunny day outside, there is no sky high and the sea is wide, and the green water is surrounded."
Concubine Wan smiled, thinking about it, she wanted to go outside the palace to see, looking at Jiang Yao, who wanted to leave, she would rather die in a desperate situation than be a concubine.
"Isn't it good to be a concubine who enjoys endless glory and wealth?"
"Niangniang, do you think you are okay?"
Jiang Yao asked the question back with a smile, and Concubine Wan was stunned for a moment.
She may not have come into contact with Xinzhiku, but she felt that the palace was really rich and clothed, but now it seems that it is just an exploitation based on the low-level slaves.
She wanted to go back to Hanmei Garden more and more, where she was the center, no rules, no slaves, no high and low.
Concubine Wan coughed lightly, and when she was asked rhetorically, she didn't know how to respond to her, so she opened the topic and asked, "Miss Ji, did you know the emperor before?" ”
The look in his eyes looked at Jiang Yao suspiciously, as if he wanted to spy on something.
"Not really."
Jiang Yao thought that Duan Jingyan was indiscriminate, so he threw her into the Xin Zheku, and Jiang Yao cursed him with resentment.
Concubine Wan looked at Jiang Yao's face, and did not have the intention of connecting the emperor and the concubine, and her heart was a little relaxed, but such a girl can refuse to get brocade clothes and jade food, and if she wants to be one person for the rest of her life, I am afraid it will be difficult to find.
"Miss Ji, don't you think about it anymore?"
Jiang Yao felt that it was ridiculous to let herself think about this kind of thing at the moment, what else did she need to consider as a low servitude of Xin's library? Jiang Yao didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the palace gate.
Meng Tao looked out of the door just now, and she chatted with Concubine Wan for a few words, which was already a great honor in the eyes of the people of Xin Zheku.
"Honghua, you know Concubine Wan."
Jiang Yao was puzzled, and Meng Tao said while driving the carriage on the long street mountain in the palace: "The one just now is Concubine Wan, they all say that she is gentle and elegant, and extremely knowledgeable, and she is from the family of Queen Ouyang, so she is the best choice for the future queen." ”
Jiang Yao sat at the end of the carriage and responded softly, watching the sunset gradually set at this time, she leaned on the carriage with her legs in a trance, she listened to Meng Tao's words as if she was talking to herself, as if she was tugging at her own memory.
"Honghua, do you know why it's called Jingxian Palace?"
Jiang Yao was asked as if it was distant and familiar, and it was extremely unfamiliar, but why was she very uncomfortable in her heart, just because of one word?
"Why?"
"This character Jing has a lot of origins, it is the homonym of the emperor's name, and it is also the title used by the emperor when he was a concubine before. It seems that our emperor really loves this Wan Guifei, and Wan Guifei is humble and ...... to others."
Meng Tao kept praising Concubine Wan's words, but for some reason it hurt Jiang Yao's stomach, as if she was struggling, Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel the pain, it turned out to be her chest, was it distressed?
But why does it hurt? Is it really for that Jingzi? Because Duan Jingyan gave her her sister's Jing character.
While the people of Xin Zheku were changing the milk for the carriage, Jiang Yao and Meng Tao carried the palace lamp and walked on the long street to light the candles. Jiang Yao took off the glazed lid of the palace lamp, carefully poured the vegetable oil into the dim glazed lotus lamp, and lit the wick.
The lights gradually turned on, getting brighter and brighter, she buckled the glass lamp cover, and the glazed lotus lamp inside reflected the vegetable oil, which made the lamp look very good.
The color of the glass reflecting the lid is full of colors, and it is very beautiful, and I don't know how much better it looks than the bleak appearance of the day.
Jiang Yao bent over and stared at the lotus palace lamp, fascinated by it, whether it was a breeze or a rainstorm, the candle flame could be comforted, and the lamp oil inside was enough to burn overnight.
Until it burns out in the early morning, it will be extinguished again, and the light and extinguish change, like this Miyagi.
Duan Jingyan, who was standing on the watchtower in the distance, looked at Jiang Yao with a telescope to admire the palace lanterns, the color of the glass was reflected on her face, reflected in the bright eyes, and the color was much more beautiful than the cookie-cutter ones.
Jiang Yao looked at the Lotus Palace lamp, Duan Jingyan looked at Jiang Yao with a telescope, obviously he was close at hand, he took off the telescope and looked at it, but he felt extremely far away.
Far away from her, unable to see her joys and sorrows, or unable to hear voices, just as she could not perceive him beside her. It's so close, it's still so strange.
At this time, Jiang Yao lit one, and Meng Tao had already lit most of the palace lanterns, Meng Tao couldn't help but shake her head and said: "Honghua, you can't do this, it's about to be more than half of the time, and you have to send milk at the right time." ”
"Oh."
Jiang Yao took a deep breath helplessly, turned around and reluctantly lit the next palace lamp, when the second one was lit, she felt a strangeness in her heart, and felt that it was no longer the only feeling when she first met.
It's like a machine lighting the palace lamp one by one, doing what they should do to enslave, and gradually grinding away the bright eyes.
Meng Tao lit the lights halfway through, turned her head to help Jiang Yao, and lit back and forth with her hands and feet.
At this time, the copper bell of a carriage rang, Jiang Yao turned around and looked over, only to see a white horse, with a copper bell hanging around the horse's neck, and a flowing curtain carriage behind him, and a bewitching woman sitting in it.
The crisp sound of the copper bell resounded on the long street in the palace, as if it was telling the whole palace, Fengluan Chunen's car was moving, and tonight was another night of clouds and rain in Wushan.
