Chapter 59: The Storyteller
Fang had just harvested in the field, and Jiang Ning's palms and nails still had a little dirt left.
stepped forward to support her dream, and the sleeve tube rubbed on her palm unexpectedly, leaving a small stain.
"I'm sorry to get your clothes dirty."
Jiang Ning opened her mouth a little embarrassed, I don't know if it was because she had a good impression of Liu Jinfu, and even she had a good impression of the people in the entire Frost Hua Palace.
"It's fine." Meng Yin smiled slightly, not paying any attention to the stains on her cuffs, and took a step back and bowed to Jiang Ning.
"Niangniang, the slave maid came here, it was the concubine Niangniang who wanted the slave to remind the maid to remind you, don't forget the agreement you made with her at the beginning."
Jiang Ning's mind hadn't turned for a while, "Agreed? What conventions? β
Mengyin continued to remind, "The promise of storytelling. β
Jiang Ning was instantly excited, and even the back pain after a long time of work was left behind.
"So Niang Niang wants to invite me to tell a story today?"
"Yes."
Jiang Ning looked down at the mess left behind by her hard work, her light-colored dress was covered with mud spots and water stains.
And the cultivated land where I am located, after a day of hard work, there are still most of the vegetable stalks left in it.
Although she really likes Concubine Liu very much in her heart, after all, something like that happened yesterday.
The embarrassment of the pain being nakedly exposed in front of everyone had only happened for a short time, and she still didn't dare to hit the muzzle of the gun without permission.
Jiang Ning glanced at Zheliu behind him with some embarrassment.
"There are still some things to be done in this palace, you see"
Unexpectedly, I didn't see the Shura field yesterday at all, and I smiled at Jiang Ning comfortingly.
"Niangniang, you can go with confidence, it's enough for the slaves and maids here to deal with it."
Jiang Ning felt as if she couldn't lift her breath in an instant, but despite this, she still gritted her teeth and smiled at Zheliu, "Thank you, girl." β
Zheliu smiled with a spring breeze on her face, "You're welcome Niangniang, this is what slaves and maids should be." β
At this point, Jiang Ning had nothing else to say, she smiled at Meng Yin a little shyly, "Let's wait for the palace to go and freshen up first." β
Mengyin nodded in response, and Zheliu followed Jiang Ning into the back room.
Jiang Ning quietly watched Zheliu freshen up for himself, while casually thinking about what kind of book he should say to Shen Qingrong.
At this moment, a man's voice came from outside the house, "What are you doing here?" β
Almost without a little effort, Jiang Ning instantly heard that the person who spoke was Mu Jingzhao.
If she hadn't suddenly heard Mu Jingzhao's voice, she would have almost forgotten that this person had successfully moved her food, clothing, housing and transportation into the cold palace on the grounds that "she had lifted off the roof of the imperial study and should be responsible for this".
She was forced to "lose money", so naturally she didn't dare to say anything.
Anyway, although she and Mu Jingzhao live under the same roof, in fact, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and they do not violate each other.
And in the final analysis, this matter is still her own fault.
Therefore, she also went with Mu Jingzhao.
However, at the moment when Mu Jingzhao spoke, Jiang Ning suddenly thought of a very important thing.
"When you plough the land today, don't go to Lu Feng for help."
When Zheliu heard such a reminder, he was stunned for some reason.
"Why?"
"The emperor is now very dissatisfied with our support of his Praetorian Guards, and now that he is in the cold palace every day, it is better not to be caught."
Zheliu has always been a sensible girl, so she nodded in response.
But then, she was still a little dissatisfied and pouted, "But there is only one slave in this cold palace, how can a slave and maid do so much." β
Jiang Ning, who had been farming all morning, naturally understood the hardships of Zheliu alone.
And people like Mu Jingzhao, who have never been people, are hard to say whether they will deliberately find fault.
"In this way, if you really can't help it, you can go to the emperor for help."
"What?" Zheliu's eyes widened in surprise, and the movements of his hands unconsciously paused to pull Jiang Ning's head to the side.
Jiang Ning gasped in pain.
"I'm sorry, mother, it's all the slave's fault, it's the slave's fault."
Zheliu apologized to her one by one,
However, Jiang Ning didn't say anything, just continued to speak, "You just tell him that this is the first step for him to experience farming life." That's it. β
Obviously, Zheliu didn't believe that such a set of rhetoric could persuade the pride of the sky to hoe the ground.
"That's it?"
"That's all."
Seeing Jiang Ning's resolute gaze, Zheliu also nodded.
In a short time, Jiang Ning finished tidying up, took the wooden board that he had told the story with, and quickly walked to the front yard of the palace to meet Mengyin.
Unexpectedly, he ran out in a hurry, and he collided with Mu Jingzhao head-on.
Jiang Ning chuckled in his heart, the secret way was not good, and his careful thinking of wanting to throw the tiring work to Mu Jingzhao might have been seen through by the other party again.
She staggered back two steps and looked at Mu Jingzhao with a somewhat embarrassed smile, "What is the emperor doing here at this time?" β
"I heard that you are going to the Shuanghua Palace to tell the concubine alone?"
She nodded, "Yes." β
"Why?"
"Because the concubine asked the concubine to go."
"And if I invite you, you'll come too?"
Jiang Jingjing was silent for a moment, and then spoke, "If there is silverβ"
"The concubine promised to give you silver?"
"Not really."
"Then why are you willing to go and tell the concubine?"
"Because a few days ago, I went over the wall late at night to look for peacock feathers in the palace of the concubine Niangniang, and she handed over the peacock feathers to me, which is the condition."
Jiang Ning's attitude of answering questions obviously made Mu Jingzhao a little overwhelmed, he looked at Jiang Ning, and finally exhaled slowly after a long time.
"The concubine is not in a good mood these days, you should be careful not to touch her scales."
Jiang Ning was stunned, and only after reacting for two seconds did he realize that Mu Jingzhao was caring about himself.
Although she subconsciously still felt that Mu Jingzhao would not be so kind, she still nodded vigorously and responded.
Then, Mu Jingzhao turned his body to the side and didn't stop her anymore.
Jiang Ning and Mengyin walked side by side on the palace road, she hummed the song casually, but she made a mistake in her heart.
Because she really couldn't imagine why Liu Jinfu invited her to tell stories at this juncture.
Obviously, such an unpleasant thing happened during the day yesterday, and now it is stuck at this juncture, which is too much of a coincidence.
"That, girl." Jiang Ning spoke to Mengyin with some hesitation.
"Do you know why the concubine summoned me at this juncture?"
