Chapter 104: Collusion with King An
There was still a full day to go before the agreed deadline, and Nian Nian didn't plan to spread the news of the recovery of the soul stone right now, she wanted to surprise everyone.
She went to see Zhenyu and Zhu Mei, the two of them heard the abnormal movement in her room yesterday and were in a hurry, but then there was an indifferent and pleasant flute sound from inside, and Zhu Mei breathed a sigh of relief, so that everyone could rest assured that they should not go in and disturb her.
After chatting with them for a while, she said that she wanted to go out for a walk, and Zhenyu smiled and said to her: "This girl just can't be idle at all, and yesterday she told her to stay in Liyuan honestly, and today she wants to go out for a walk." ”
"It's good that I didn't sneak out now that I said hello. Zhu Mei also smiled lightly, her eyes full of doting.
"Well, whatever you want. How can this palace trap you. Zhenyu asked the palace maid to take a brocade box, and said to Nian Nian, who was not very embarrassed: "Since you want to go out to play, then you might as well go to Suxin Palace for me, this box contains the gift of Concubine Lan." ”
Nian Nian carefully held the brocade box, nodded, and asked, "Zhenyu, how is Concubine Lan's mother?
Zhen Yu said with a smile, "Concubine Lan Niang Niang has a good temperament, and her temperament and appearance are first-class, so you can tell it by yourself." And she is very good to me, not like the queen who hides a knife in her smile. ”
After hearing it every year, I put my mind at ease, and I had a deeper impression of this Concubine Lan in my heart.
"By the way, Concubine Lan also gave me a soul stone privately. Zhen Yu ordered someone to take a palm-sized jade box and open it.
I saw a fist-sized transparent stone lying quietly inside, among which there was a pale pink lotus flower emitting a faint soft light, exquisite, and it looked exactly the same as the soul stone that had been broken by the queen before.
"It seems that Concubine Lan is really thinking about you. Zhu Mei glanced at the soul stone and nodded.
"Yes, so you don't have to worry too much every year, it's a big deal that we will hand over this soul stone tomorrow, although this is considered to be a lot of favor from Concubine Lan, I will slowly return her in the future." Zhenyu looked at Nian Nian with a smile.
Nian Nian held back the smile in his heart and vaguely responded to the past. Suddenly, a strange feeling rose in her heart.
She slowly walked towards the soul stone, and the closer she got to it, the stronger the sensation became. According to her judgment, the spirituality in this soul stone was slightly stronger than the previous one.
Nian Nian gently held the soul stone in his hand, and suddenly opened his eyes after feeling it carefully. Sure enough, the frequency of the spiritual power fluctuations in this soul stone could also close her heartbeat!
It is strange that a vein that has never been seen or even heard of winds deep in the mountains north of the night, and there are soul stones containing spiritual power, and the spiritual power in these stones has a vague connection with the years.
Every year, it is almost certain that this vein must have something to do with him, and when he has the opportunity, he must go and see it.
She held the box and was led by Xiaoxi through the imperial garden to Suxin Palace.
She kept thinking about it all the way, but unfortunately she still had no clue. At this time, there was a sudden sound of a group of people frolicking in front of me. When I listened to it every year, it turned out to be a few idle palace maids chatting.
"There have been a lot of interesting things that have happened in the past few days. A palace maid sat crookedly on the ground and said.
"It's not, and the pile is inseparable from Princess Baimo, it is estimated that the palace in this night will have to change its surname to Baimo in the future. A palace maid next to her hurriedly covered her mouth and looked around before glaring at her, "You dare to say this kind of nonsense, you don't want to die!"
The palace maid pursed her lips and just wanted to refute, but she was jumped by the shadow that suddenly appeared above her head.
"Hehe, sisters, what are you talking about, can you take me one?" A crisp voice, like a yellow warbler out of the valley, sounded in everyone's ears.
Several palace maids were whispering, and when they turned around, they found that Nian Nian was standing behind them, like ghosts, and everyone looked at each other in shock.
"Which palace are you from?" a palace maid asked cautiously.
Nian Nian grinned, took out a few jade cards from his sleeve and stuffed them into everyone's hands, "I was transferred to Suxin Palace a few days ago, and when I first met my sisters, it is considered that we are destined, please accept this gift." ”
Several palace maids saw that they were so generous every year, so they didn't doubt him, who made Concubine Lan of Suxin Palace the most favorable.
With short hands, several palace maids came over affectionately and pulled Nian Nian to sit down.
"I just passed by and heard you talking about Princess Baimo, and it sounds strange to say, this princess is said to be not a person who does not know the number of etiquette, but since she entered the palace, she seems to be in trouble, and she can't blame her. "Tentative openings every year.
"You're a palace maid who has just risen up," an exaggerated expression appeared on the face of the palace maid with a big mouth, "There is no way to blame it, if you want to blame her, you can blame her for offending the queen." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Do you think, this princess is going to marry His Royal Highness King An, King An is from your mother, and Concubine Lan is the most favored person, if King An gets the support of Bai Mo, the chances of ascending to the throne in the future will be greatly increased, the queen mother has no prince, if King An ascends the throne in the future, Concubine Lan will be respected as the queen mother, where else does she have any status?"
It turned out that this was the case, and he secretly said in his heart every year, so the queen kept looking for trouble with Zhenyu. If she doesn't want Zhenyu to marry King An, it is definitely not just as simple as making Zhenyu unhappy, and she has to remind Zhenyu to be careful after she goes back.
"Hehe, sisters, Concubine Lan still wants me to bring things back, so I'll leave first. Every year he got what he wanted to know, so he got up and took his leave.
After taking a few steps, Xiaoxi ran out of the flowers, pulled Nian Nian and said with a secret smile: "Sister is so good, they will say everything you ask, you must know that in the palace, palace people are not allowed to talk about the master." ”
Nian Nian smiled slightly, this bribery method was still learned from Zhenyu, and it really worked.
The two soon came to Suxin Palace, and after the report, they followed the palace maid in. I saw that Suxin Palace was quiet and elegant everywhere, and the display and furnishings in the courtyard and the house were unique, showing the elegant taste of the hostess.
When I turned around every year, I saw a palace maid supporting a weak and slender beauty, followed by a man with a long body and thick eyebrows and big eyes.
At first glance, the man only felt that his eyebrows were handsome, but his face was not immature, and he was dressed in a brocade robe, which was quite energetic, and he felt very familiar, as if he was familiar.
Xiaoxi reminded her in a whisper in the back, adjusted her expression every year, stepped forward to salute obediently, and said softly: "This is given to Concubine Lan by Princess Zhenyu, saying that it is a return gift." With that, he offered the brocade box with both hands.
Concubine Lan smiled: "The princess is really polite, hurry up and take it." She looked Nian Nian up and down, "You must be the maid who said she wanted to repair the soul stone." ”
Shocked every year, he looked up at her. Concubine Lan's beauty really deserves her reputation, not only her skin is as white and tender as a girl, but she also has the charm of a mature woman, and her every move is indifferent and elegant, like a hollow valley orchid. She saluted again: "Yes." ”
Concubine Lan smiled gently, "Sure enough, he is a child with a strong aura, and the princess can feel a lot more at ease if there is such a person by her side." ”
"Does Niangniang know about the soul stone?" asked Nian Nian's eyes, which were rippling.
Concubine Lan stepped back and asked gently, "What do you want to know?"
"What the hell is that soul stone? Niangniang privately gave a soul stone exactly like the queen to the princess, so presumably the queen doesn't know that you have a soul stone that is the same as her. Nian Nian smiled slyly.
Concubine Lan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You are really smart." The queen really doesn't know, but it's not because the palace knows anything, it's just that the emperor is afraid that the queen will be jealous and rewards him privately. ”
Nian Nian was a little disappointed when he heard this, only to see Concubine Lan continue: "About the soul stone, I only know that it is a stone in a vein in the deep mountains north of the night, which can conjure up various forms of objects, transparent as crystal, shining like a pearl, folk have rumored that this kind of stone absorbs the essence of all things, some evil gas, can not be placed at home, but because of its crystal clear, only in recent years has it gradually been sought after by the master of the palace." ”
Nian Nian nodded, said a few more jokes to Concubine Lan, and left. She and Xiaoxi came out of Suxin Palace, and just turned onto the corridor, when they suddenly felt a strong wind behind them, and then a black shadow flashed in front of them, and she was pulled aside by the person covering her mouth, and Xiaoxi, who was walking in front, was still unaware.
The man took her behind a rockery, and let go of her, Nian Nian was angry in his heart, thinking of teaching this person a good lesson, and as soon as he turned around, he was surprised, but he didn't expect that this person was actually the man in the Suxin Palace.
At this moment, the man smiled, looked at her with his hands on his chest and looked at her funny, "Why, isn't it, you haven't recognized this king yet?"
Nian Nian just wanted to pout and say who knew you, but suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise: "This king, are you the one who was in the official office that day?"
The man raised his head proudly, "Of course, who wants to meddle with your affairs except this king." ”
Nian Nian was a little speechless, she suddenly remembered something, "You, are you King An?" Although it was a question, but Nian Nian was already sure that the man who could appear in Suxin Palace and was very close to Concubine Lan could only be the legendary King An, but I didn't expect them to have seen it a long time ago.
King An smiled brightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, he walked around Nian Nian, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched Nian Nian's tender cheeks: "It feels good, but there is too little meat." He sighed with great regret.
Nian Nian was dumbfounded, this King An is too casual, although he is Zhenyu's future husband, but he can't act so casually, Nian Nian felt the need to teach this guy who didn't know how to be polite. She slapped his hand away, "Why are you so rude, if you dare to move again, I'll beat you!" and waved her small fist.
King An was stunned for a moment, and then smiled in surprise: "You girl is really interesting, and she has an appetite for this king." Then he said to himself, "Even a little girl has such a personality, it seems that the princess herself must have a more interesting temperament." ”
The corners of Nian Nian's mouth twitched slightly, he didn't bother to pay attention to him, raised his legs and prepared to leave.
King An hurriedly stepped forward to stop, "Hehe, you are the princess's close maid, how is your princess doing?"
Nian Nian glanced at him, his eyes rolled, and he smiled incomprehensibly: "Oh, I know, it turns out that you kidnapped me here just to spy on the princess." ”
Wang An's heart was exposed, and he immediately coughed, blushing and whispering: "No, no, I'll ask, hehe, just ask." ”
"Since King An is asking casually, then I don't know, I'm leaving. Nian Nian pretended to be careless.
"Don't!" King An blushed, "I know that the princess lives in Liyuan, and I heard that the queen always troubles her, so she is fine, right?"
Seeing the eagerness in King An's eyes every year, he remembered that day in the official office, fortunately, he arrived in time, and cleaned up Lord Wu for them, and his heart softened, it seems that he really cares about Zhenyu. Every year, I briefly told him about the big and small things that happened in the past few days.
King An raised his dark and thick eyebrows and waved his fist, "Hmph, you actually dare to bully this king's daughter-in-law, see how this king will clean them up in the future!"
Nian Nian sneered, although this King An is tall and handsome, but Nian Nian knows that he is only sixteen years old, and he is completely a child's temper when he treats others, but he has no bad intentions towards Zhenyu, his mind is pure, and he has a good impression of him in his heart.
"His Royal Highness King An, I told you so many things, you always have to pay something, right?" Nian Nian blinked pitifully.
"Well, what do you want? If the king has it, he will give it to you. "King An is in a good mood and very bold.
"I want to ask His Royal Highness King An for a favor, help me, oh no, help the princess teach the little princess a lesson!" Nian Nian smiled sinisterly.
