Chapter 216: Thank You
The two of them had just rested for a while, and Ori Liu went out to find Lu Feng.
Similarly, Jiang Ning couldn't be idle, she changed her clothes and went straight to Changle Palace.
After entering the palace for so long, Jiang Ning actually didn't know much about Changle Palace.
The most impressive time for her was probably the bloody scene on the day of the palace change.
The nightmarish day in her eyes was every day for Shen Qingrong in the future.
Jiang Ning did not receive much hindrance when he stepped into Changle Palace, and the once splendid Changle Palace has now become a scene of decay.
The palace wall is still the dark red palace wall, and the wall tiles are still those glazed tiles that reflect the colorful luster.
But the courtyard was empty, echoing with the rustle of leaves, a pot of lotus flowers at the entrance of the hall had withered, and the bare pole had hung limply into the stranded mud, and a few flies lingered on it.
Although he was sent to the cold palace, Mu Jingzhao did not deliberately restrict Shen Qingrong's freedom, and there was not even a forbidden army guarding the gate of the palace.
Despite this, the doors and windows of Changle Palace were still closed, and they isolated themselves from the outside world with this almost tough attitude.
When Jiang Ning pushed the door in, a mildew breath that had not seen the light of day for a long time mixed with flying dust rushed to his face, Jiang Ning was caught off guard, lowered his head and coughed.
"Did you live in a house like this before?" Shen Qingrong's tired voice came with a little cold, Jiang Ning followed the voice, and saw her sitting by the window in a light gray plain dress.
The sunlight faintly fell into the house through the window paper, and fell appropriately on her side face, lining her non-powdered skin as smooth as jade, quite a natural beauty to carve.
Jiang Ning stopped coughing and slowly walked to sit down opposite Shen Qingrong.
"It's not a house like this." Jiang Ning shook his head, "Since I came out to wander, I have hardly lived in a house with a roof. ”
Shen Qingrong's eyebrows were lowered, and she looked away obliquely, as if she was avoiding something.
"It's the family of the main palace who can't stand you." Her voice was soft, but loud.
"It's not your fault."
Jiang Ning said lightly, raised his hand to pour the tea on the table, until he poured it, only to find that it was so thirsty that he couldn't squeeze out any tea.
She put the teacup back in her hand, and when she looked up, she saw Shen Qingrong looking at her quietly, and there seemed to be emotion in her eyes.
"Thank you." Shen Qingrong opened her mouth for a moment, but her eyes were at an astonishing speed, she lowered her eyes, and her fingertips gently wiped the corners of her eyes.
"In all these years, no one has ever said anything like that to me."
She raised her eyes to look at Jiang Ning, and there were faint tears flashing in her eyes, "If it had been one step earlier, maybe it wouldn't have become like this." ”
Jiang Ning dragged his chin and looked calm, "I also blamed myself before, maybe if I went home earlier, I would have been able to save my parents and sister, until later, I watched myself go through so much suffering, and I couldn't find a reason to blame myself." ”
She rubbed her eyes, "Just being alive is already remarkable, and I have no reason to blame myself a little." ”
"yes." Shen Qingrong laughed lightly, this time, she showed two rows of teeth, and she didn't care if her smile was decent. "Especially under the control of the emperor, everything is involuntarily, if you can't do it, you can't do it, it's not a pity to fail anyway."
She casually brushed a strand of broken hair on her shoulder behind her ear, and the moment she raised her eyes, the two looked at each other unexpectedly, and then chuckled together.
"Actually, if it weren't for meeting you, maybe I wouldn't have thought I could do this."
"Huh?"
"The first time you took out that peacock feather hairpin, I was amazed."
Jiang Ning lowered her head and touched her nose a little shyly, she never thought that the things she made casually could give people such a big shock.
What's more, she is the queen mother of the world.
"Actually, to be honest, that thing isn't pretty at all."
The moment he heard this, Jiang Ning was not at all disappointed after being denied.
"At that time, this palace felt very novel, and they were also the daughters of the official family, why didn't I think of making such a hairpin."
Jiang Ning knew in his heart that he had been cultivated as the queen of the main palace since he was a child, and Shen Qingrong's food and clothing could not make a mistake.
In her mind, only a totem like the phoenix could be worn as an accessory, not because she liked it, but because she was told that only this was in line with the queen's identity.
She was convinced of it.
Until she met Jiang Ning, she gave a strange-shaped hairpin to Liu Jinfu, who wore it every day.
This kind of behavior had a great impact on her.
She and Liu Jinfu were not all the way before, and the two had little communication, and they never looked at each other.
One suspects the other party of being pedantic, and the other suspects the other party of vulgarity.
Liu Jinfu doesn't like to dress up, is extremely simple, and doesn't care about anything, but Shen Qingrong is within the constraints of the queen's identity.
Originally, the well water between the two people did not interfere with the river water, and they had been safe for many years.
It wasn't until the appearance of the heresy of Jiang Ning that it broke all this.
is also a harem mother, but she can set up a stall to tell stories, hold hairpin auctions, farm and sell vegetables, and climb the wall and roof late at night.
is such a character who can't be on the stage, so easily won Mu Jingzhao's trust and love.
This is what Shen Qingrong couldn't ask for.
This made Shen Qingrong have great doubts about herself.
In the past, her mother also told her that as long as she followed the rules and put her husband first in everything like her mother, then she would be favored and statused.
But even though the mother had done her best, the father did not hesitate to take other women into the Shen Mansion.
Despite her best efforts, Mu Jingzhao still fell in love with other women.
She didn't resent Jiang Ning, but because of this, she had great doubts about her father and mother, is all this really right?
When suspicion is deeply ingrained in the heart, then all resistance and sobriety seem to be taken for granted.
So step by step, I came to this day.
Jiang Ning smiled dumbly, not knowing whether all this was a good thing or a bad thing.
From another point of view, if she hadn't appeared, maybe Shen Qingrong would have spent her life as peaceful as she wanted.
After all, it is creation that makes people.
When Jiang Ning told Shen Qingrong of Mu Jingzhao's will, she was not a little surprised and unwilling, on the contrary, her eyes were full of peace as she wished.
She said, "Now I can finally get rid of that, thank you." ”
When Jiang Ning left, he happened to meet the returning Zheliu at the door, and one master and one servant had their own concerns, and walked in the same direction in silence. (End of chapter)
