Chapter 11 Hairpin Auction (3)

Shen Shi is Jiang Ning's daily storytelling.

Often at this hour, the palace people from all the courtyards of the harem will invariably gather under the big hole in the corner of the cold palace wall and start waiting for Jiang Ning to tell the story.

Jiang Ning only talks about books for half an hour every day, and they are all about the love story between her and Mu Jingzhao, and they take a break for tea halfway.

Jiang Ning didn't charge money for books at the beginning, and she still talked about her when there were many people, day after day, rain or shine.

Over time, there were more and more palace people outside the palace, and people began to spontaneously lift small benches with melon seeds and snacks.

The palace people from all palaces and courtyards have more or less come to listen to Jiang Ning's storytelling.

Xu is everyone was impressed by her professionalism, and began to spontaneously throw a little silver to Jiang Ning from outside the hole as a reward.

After making a lot of money, Jiang Ning began to prepare some tea and snacks for the palace people.

In this way, listening to Jiang Ning's storytelling outside the cold palace has become a popular pastime among the palace people, after all, there can be such a time, why not talk about the gossip of the palace masters?

Today, Jiang Ning specially prepared half an hour in advance, for this crucial hairpin auction.

As early as half an hour ago, she made sure that nothing was wrong, and once again entrusted Lu Feng to spread the news.

At this moment, Jiang Ning was sitting in the middle of the courtyard, concentrating on reciting the content of the book she was going to tell today, and this paragraph had been recited hundreds of times in her heart.

In her hand, an intricately carved wooden box contained the peacock feather hairpin for auction.

This is a rare sunny day, the weather is just early spring, and the sun is not scorching, but Zheliu still held an umbrella for her, saying that it was to keep her skin snow-white and please the emperor.

Jiang Ning didn't care if the Dog Emperor liked a girl with white skin or black skin, anyway, Zheliu liked it, so she went with her.

At this time, Zheliu and Lu Feng respectively moved a small bench and sat on the far right of the first row and the far left of the second row of the audience.

This is Jiang Ning's arrangement.

As time went by, there were more and more spectators at the gate of the palace, Jiang Ning took a big sip of the tea at hand, and barely swallowed the restlessness in his mouth.

It was clear that she had told this group of palace people countless times, but today, she had a nervousness and anxiety that she had never felt before.

Before the story had even begun, the crowd began to chatter.

"Niangniang, what are you talking about? The slave was really curious, and came before the work was finished. In the front row, a palace maid in a pink palace dress asked expectantly with her chin on her face.

"It won't be—" Behind her, another yellow-clothed palace maid clapped her hands expectantly, "I know, you won't invite the emperor to come up and tell us stories, right?" ”

The words of the yellow-clothed palace maid made the crowd boil instantly, and everyone stretched their necks one after another, trying to find the trace of the emperor in the cold palace.

Jiang Ning hadn't swallowed a sip of tea, and was almost stimulated by the palace maid's words.

Oh, how could that dog emperor deign to do such a thing, but he really felt it. Jiang Ning secretly slandered himself.

The discussion was still going on, Jiang Ning looked at the crowd with a lively discussion, and nodded contentedly.

"Niangniang, it's time to apply." In the crowd, Ori Liu whispered a reminder.

Jiang Ning cleared his throat, put down the tea cup in his hand, and fell to the plate in an instant.

The palace people who blocked the palace gate instantly quieted down, and they all turned their heads to look at Jiang Ning intently.

"It was a snowy winter day, and I had my first date with the emperor, and I didn't know that his identity was the emperor, and he didn't know that I was the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"The emperor and I came to a lake outside the city with the determination to fight against the world, and decided to let the lake bear witness to our love."

"The emperor once told me that under the beautiful scenery of thousands of miles of snow, everything in the world will become snow-white. Only this lake does not freeze all year round, like our unwavering love, no matter what the outside world is, we are always the same, closely dependent on each other. ”

Jiang Ning hid her voice in time, she casually grabbed a piece of candied dates, tasted it carefully, and observed the reaction of the palace people.

In the crowd, several palace maids showed longing on their faces, and they seemed to have witnessed this unswerving love with Jiang Ning in the snow.

And the eunuchs who wrote were a little anxiously waiting for the progress of the plot.

Of course, there are some exceptions, such as Lu Feng and Zheliu, these two people have helpless expressions.

"That afternoon, the emperor and I walked to the river, the river was white mist, the woods were covered in silver, and it was very beautiful, but what the emperor and I didn't expect was that the lake was frozen."

Everyone showed regret on their faces, as if they were lamenting this love that was not blessed by God.

"Tears rained down in my eyes, lamenting the injustice of this fate. I know very well that as the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I shoulder the great mission of the rise and fall of the family, and I am destined to be involuntarily. And the person I love deeply in front of me is just an ordinary tea merchant, and we are destined to have no ending. ”

Jiang Ning casually grabbed the silk scarf he had prepared, pretended to wipe it twice under his eyes, and let out a few sobs.

Zheliu and Lu Feng in the audience were dumbfounded, because this was the fifth version of Jiang Ning and Mu Jingzhao's first date they had heard.

From the desert to the water town, from the restaurant to the deep mountains, every once in a while, the scene where the story takes place will change, and each time it is the first time.

So much so that both of them began to wonder how many emperors they had.

But the emperor said that he didn't believe in heaven and didn't accept fate, he was heaven, and he wanted to prove to heaven that even if no one blessed him, he would unswervingly be with me! With that, he jumped straight into the frozen lake. ”

Those red-eyed palace maids instantly burst into tears, and they sobbed in a low voice, sighing Mu Jingzhao's sincerity that touched the heavens and the earth.

"Unexpectedly, the lake has only been frozen for a day, and the ice is still thin, and the emperor jumped and directly smashed a big hole in the ice, and the emperor fell into the lake in a daze."

"It was winter, the water was bitterly cold, and I really couldn't swim, so I could only cry by the lake. Although the emperor can swim, he keeps sinking because of the heavy clothes on his body. I just watched the emperor struggle in the water, sink, and gradually lost his voice. ”

After another pause, Jiang Ning took a big sip of tea, and saw that the palace maids and eunuchs in the audience were staring at Jiang Ning's direction intently, as if they had forgotten to breathe.

At this time, Lu Feng and Zheliu, who were originally swallowing melon seeds with disdain, instantly froze in place, and the melon seeds in their hands also fell to the ground inadvertently.

Jiang Ning gasped and folded his hands in front of the table.

"At this moment, a burst of green light rose from the bottom of the lake, and that green light condensed into a thick mist on the hole, and the unconscious emperor was lying on top of the mist!"
