Chapter 177: Sleepless Night
Wan Ning and Xiao Feiyan were arranged in the next room. Although the conditions cannot be compared with the Li Mansion, it is the palace in the end, and all kinds of furnishings are old and old, and the materials are of high quality.
Xiao Feiyan was still worried that Wan Ning was not used to living here, the bed here was very small, and she couldn't wait by her side all night. And for Wanning, everything is so strange, so cold, the most familiar and warmest person is only Yan'er.
It's time to go to bed, Wan Ning is thinking about things in her heart, to be precise, thinking about people. She found the jade pendant given by her brother, and on the first day, she began to miss him.
Missing, let the girl's heart bloom like a flower.
Wan Ning just wanted to put the jade pendant next to the pillow, but Xiao Feiyan reminded: "Miss, this is not a mansion, people come and go, and it is best not to expose valuable items." ”
Wan Ning thought for a while and responded, "Okay, Sister Yan, listen to you." ”
"Fortunately, Zhou Niangniang is favored tonight, and if nothing happens, she should be rewarded tomorrow, and she will definitely give the palace to live in. At that time, we can live better with it. ”
"Yan'er is right, I didn't expect it, it went well." Wan Ning turned her face to look at her, a smile on her face.
"The person picked by Young Master Gao naturally didn't say."
Wan Ning's face suddenly darkened, she remembered her brother's expression when he looked at Zhou Ruoyan, and asked, "Sister Yan, do you say that my brother likes Zhou Ruoyan or not?" ”
Xiao Feiyan was taken aback: "Miss, what are you talking about?" The young master only has you in his heart, how can he like a girl when he sees him? ”
"But when he saw Zhou Ruoyan, he obviously couldn't move his eyes."
"Miss, a man's preference for a woman's complexion is probably determined by the genes of the species. Think about it, do his eyes go straight when he looks at you? ”
Wan Ning sat on the bed, lowered her head, looked at the jade pendant in front of her, and muttered in a low voice: "Straight?" There are times. ”
Xiao Feiyan didn't say anything, just smiled at her.
"Even if he looks at me with straight eyes, how can he look at me like everyone else?" Wan Ning was still dissatisfied.
Xiao Feiyan sighed: "Don't worry, miss." You are the young master's favorite person, everyone can see his intentions for you, why do you care if he looks at you or not? ”
"It's not a matter of care, he looks at others like that, I just feel uncomfortable."
Wan Ning pursed her lips.
"Okay, there's no shadow, don't worry about it, sleep well. Why don't you let the young master's jade pendant accompany you tonight? Tomorrow morning, the slave will remind you to put it away. ”
Under Xiao Feiyan's urging, Wan Ning fell asleep.
She slept in an unfamiliar bed, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep at all. Maybe it's because of the bed, right?
Besides, she can't let go of her heart, she knows her brother best, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep well tonight.
"Yan'er, are you asleep?" She asked softly.
Xiao Feiyan, who was sleeping on the couch not far away, could hear the sound of Wanning turning over, how could she fall asleep? He responded, "Miss, the slave is not there yet." ”
"Why don't you come and sleep? I can't sleep well here. ”
Xiao Feiyan knew that this was unruly, after all, he was a slave and could not share the bed with his master. But today, the situation was too special, so she came to Wanning's bedside with the quilt, but she still hesitated.
Wan Ning saw her thoughts, moved in, stretched out her hand on the bed and said, "Don't worry about today's situation, come up and sleep." ”
"Yes, miss."
After Xiao Feiyan was completely lying down, Wan Ning asked, "Yan'er, did you say that my brother is asleep at the moment?" ”
Xiao Feiyan guessed that the young master probably couldn't sleep, and didn't want Wanning to worry, so he said perfunctorily: "Young master, he only has you in his heart, and he will definitely miss you." ”
Wan Ning simply held the jade pendant that was originally placed next to the pillow in the palm of her hand.
The moon tonight is very good, very round and bright, as if it was raised for the emperor and Zhou Ruoyan.
Wan Ning and the others had no way to appreciate the moonlight, and Gao Ziang stayed in the Li Mansion as usual, and he could watch the moon recklessly. It's just that there is no one around him, Yi'er accompanied him for a while, and then Yi'er knew that he was not the person the young master needed, so it was better to let the young master stay by himself.
On a quiet night, Gao Ziang stood in the courtyard with a cool wind, as if the stars were not last night, and no matter how good the moonlight was, it would inevitably be a little desolate. The moon falls into loneliness.
After that, he stayed quietly in Wanning's room, constantly thinking about all the happy times with her. He felt the tranquility in front of him intently, as if she was beside him, and Wan Ning would appear in the next second.
Gao Ziang was immersed in this kind of longing until late at night, when he had to go back, Yi'er shouted at the door for a long time before he raised his legs and went back to Gaofu.
He was quite uneasy in his heart when he fell asleep in his bed, and he couldn't wait to run to the palace at this moment and appear next to Wan Ning. He knew that Wan Ning would miss him too.
On the night Wanning entered the palace, both of them stayed awake all night.
Early the next morning, Wan Ning and Xiao Feiyan knew that serving Zhou Niangniang was the top priority, so they cleaned up their housework as quickly as possible.
Wan Ning knew that the emperor had not left at the moment, and her makeup was still going to be rough, so she dotted small red dots on her face, and it was very obvious.
She was clumsy because she hadn't slept all night. When serving the emperor's face wash, he almost knocked it over. This move caused Li Shimin's dissatisfaction, and he glanced at the "ugly" maid, feeling a little disgusted in his heart.
It's just like this, and the hands and feet are still clumsy.
"Who are you? Can you serve your master like this? Li Shimin asked sternly.
Before Wanning could answer, Zhou Ruoyan immediately came to the rescue: "Your Majesty, she is the distant cousin of the concubine, we grew up together since childhood, and the concubines all regard her as their own sister." Like the concubines, they are the children of small families and small families, and today, they may be shocked by your majesty when they witness the face of heaven. will be so nervous and make mistakes in doing things. Not before, she was smart. With her identity, she was willing to come to the palace to serve the concubine, and the concubine was grateful to her, and when she came to the palace, she had no relatives, but fortunately she was her sister, and the concubine really needed her. For the sake of the concubine, keep her by my side. ”
"That's it! You have a point, then I'll give her another chance. ”
Zhou Ruoyan's few words easily resolved Wanning's crisis. She hurriedly knelt down and thanked her: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
She could have said a few more words, but because she didn't want to attract the emperor's attention anymore, the more concise she said, the better.
There was a false alarm, and Wan Ning could also see that the emperor decisively agreed to Zhou Ruoyan's request, proving that he liked her very much.
In everyone's expectations, Zhou Ruoyan really won the favor of the emperor. The next day, she was named Zhou Cairen, which meant that she had a status in the palace overnight.
