Ye Qingfeng naturally noticed the difference between Emperor Yu Shuo's views on Concubine Mei and Concubine Ning. She never thought that her casual words would cause Concubine Ning to incur the emperor's wrath. She felt very sorry, and a trace of sincerity appeared on her face.
With a smile, he said: "Your Majesty, I was just following Concubine Mei and looking around. I happened to meet Concubine Ning standing on the willow bank in the rain. When I mentioned political affairs, it was just an unintentional move by me. It has nothing to do with Concubine Ning. It has nothing to do with Concubine Ning.
Please have mercy on me and forgive me for your sins."
Feng Ning slowly looked sideways, wondering what kind of person he was. His words were spoken calmly and placidly, and he naturally placed the blame on himself. Even if she was a woman, she didn't need to take such care of someone he met for the first time. Looking back at the emperor,
I am afraid that the more Ye Qingfeng pleads for herself, the greater the anger in his heart will be. And only she can feel the layers of coldness and horror in the emperor's relieved smile at this moment.
Concubine Mei took back the silk scarf, but did not leave the emperor's side. She was very satisfied with the distance between them at this time. She raised her eyes and looked at Feng Ning proudly.
"The second prince doesn't know something. The rules of the Yushuo Emperor's Palace are strict and cannot be sloppy. One of them is that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and it is not allowed to violate or offend."
Seeing Emperor Yu Shuo's sharp eyes staring at Concubine Ning, which was clearly a sign of severe punishment, Ye Qingfeng quickly said: "Your Majesty, it was my fault that the little king made a mistake. I am willing to bear everything for Concubine Ning."
Guilty."
There was already a layer of moisture on his hair, and he had just appeared suddenly. He must have received some news with a displeasure in his heart, and he didn't realize that he had done anything wrong. Although he was wet, he would be fine, but
It still makes her feel bad. Ye Qingfeng's inexplicable defense at this time will only add fuel to the fire. Apart from causing more trouble for her, there is no benefit at all. But the kindness of others is real and slight.
He sighed and said, "Second Prince, your plea is unnecessary. There is no need to worry about Feng Ning."
Ye Qingfeng looked at Feng Ning in confusion. She heard that Emperor Yu Shuo meant that she would be punished. Looking at Emperor Yu Shuo's attitude towards her, the punishment would definitely be heavy. Why could she speak so calmly and calmly?
, this strange woman made him feel a surge of admiration in his heart, his eyes were full of surprise, and he smiled slightly without saying a word.
Feng Ning slightly curled her lips and looked sideways at the cold and ruthless outline of the emperor. He Shuwen raised his hand to touch her, but his arm was destroyed by him. Although Mei Niang, one of the three envoys of the Earth Demon Cult, was a woman, he was close to her.
He also wanted to take her life. Thinking of this, his peripheral vision glanced at Ye Qingfeng, who had an extraordinary temperament beside him. He didn't need to think about it to know what the anger on the emperor's face was for.
Since he was showing off his imperial power, as a concubine, she couldn't cooperate. As soon as she let go of her hand, the umbrella suddenly fell down and spun a few times with the wind. Feng Ning knelt on the ground, the biting chill clearly seeping into her muscles.
He kowtowed and said, "Last time, I violated the palace rules and was punished by being grounded. Now if I do it again, Your Majesty is so angry that I will die. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
"Hmph——." The emperor groaned coldly. Although he was dissatisfied on the surface, he was anxious in his heart. His Ning'er really should not be touched easily. What he said was a bit too much. He was the one who felt distressed.
"Go back to Yunran Palace quickly. Don't leave Yunran Palace even half a step until the Lantern Festival Banquet the day after tomorrow."
Before Feng Ning had time to express her gratitude, she heard the emperor say leisurely again, "It seems that I have to appoint an empress and take care of the harem so that I can share my worries."
Yu Yun sounded a bit helpless. When Feng Ning heard the word "empress", she frowned in displeasure and straightened up. Her knees and skirts were already stained with water and soil, and her tone of voice dropped involuntarily.
, "I, my concubine, retire."
Turning around and leaving, the cold wind stirred up her black hair, which flew a little proudly. She took a few steps with a slight sway, and then she stamped her feet with a soft call, "Ms. Ning Fei."
Without turning around and looking back, Ye Qingfeng walked up to him with an umbrella. There was something in his smile, "Ms. Ning Fei, you forgot your umbrella."
"Thank you——." Feng Ning said with a smile.
Looking at the figure walking away, Ye Qingfeng was completely immersed in that alluring and elegant smile, unable to recover for a long time, silently thinking that if Emperor Yushuo hated her, maybe he would have the ability to take her away.
With a slight smile, a feeling rose in my heart. Although we were under the same sky, the winter in Yushuo seemed to be colder than the typical night.
Two days have passed and the emperor has not been seen. Feng Ning is happy to be at ease, because his anger comes out of nowhere. However, the two maids in the palace will report their situation to him, so she does not have to worry.
What, I just occasionally think of him suddenly appearing in the rain, which inevitably makes me feel distressed.
Today is the Lantern Festival, it is noon, and many ministers have entered the palace with their families in costumes. There are many relatives and friends in the harem. At this time, all the palaces, rooms, and imperial gardens are very lively. Of course, the prerequisite
It's because Emperor Wei is not here.
Thinking of Cuiniang and Huan Jiong in Yuweishan Mansion, Tong'er sent another letter a few days ago. The news that Yuweishan Mansion was safe made Feng Ning feel at ease and ordered Cuiniang to come to Danfeng before the fifteenth day.
Waiting in Xuyuan, we should go to Danfeng Xuyuan at this time.
He ordered Zhulan to get the Golden Dragon Token and touch the texture on the token. Since it was in his hand, he had to use it anyway. He smiled charmingly and charmed all living beings.
Zhumei had already prepared the carriage and was heading there alone. With her familiarity with the Imperial Palace, she had already found a secluded place to pass by, but she still met many strange and strange faces. It seemed that this was the Lantern Festival.
Today, it is really a great event for Yushuo.
Everyone in the imperial palace knows that there are only two maids in the Yunran Palace. Although Concubine Ning was favored two days ago, there is no favor from your majesty. Therefore, no one thinks about your majesty's affection. They only say that Concubine Ning is just a temporary favor of your majesty.
Just rise.
The rumor that His Majesty had offended the Emperor's majesty on the night of staying up late and interfered with politics in the Imperial Garden the day before yesterday had promised the two noble concubines to punish Concubine Ning before the Lantern Festival had spread to every corner of the imperial palace. However, Concubine Ning was still leisurely at this time.
Walking in the winding corridor, it seems that I have resigned myself to my fate.
"Sister Concubine Ning."
A soft voice rang in her ears. Feng Ning stopped and moved her eyes. The woman walking towards her had skin like peach blossoms in March. She was wearing a light green dress and a jasper hairpin in her hair. She had a gentle smile on her face.
, Feng Ning seemed to remember who she was, but she couldn't remember, so she could only smile and say, "You are——."
Along with the woman, there was also a court official. When he saw Feng Ning, he bowed his hands and said, "I have met Concubine Ning."
She rolled up her sleeves and gave him a hand. She had seen this man before and remembered him because she seemed to have a good relationship with her father. "Uncle Nie, please don't do this. Feng Ning disdains these false courtesy."
The woman whom Brother Nalan loves so much is the same as in his memory. She is still as proud and elegant as before, with a kind of intimacy between her eyebrows that makes people want to get closer, but the clear and distant look, although it is faint
, but inexplicably created a full layer of deterrence. I really don’t know whether it is a blessing or a blessing for such a woman to be trapped in the harem today. It is a pity that the rumors I heard before... "Lao Ningfei still remembers the old minister."
Feng Ning saw a trace of regret and helplessness in his eyes, knowing that it was for her father. She looked at the woman beside him and asked, "Is she your daughter?"
Nie Hongyuan chin-twitched his head, a trace of distress flashing across his face, "I was originally the little girl Qin'er, but now she is the imperial concubine Qin'er."
Concubine Qin? Fengning recalled that she had met her there before. When she was in Yunran Palace, she used Concubine Qin’s words to teach Concubine Mei a lesson, but she never paid attention to it and forgot about it. Along the way, no one who knew her was there.
There are only a few, but she is the only one who comes to say hello.
One, with a sincere look and no objections, is really rare, but it is a pity that the emperor does not know how to pity and cherish jade. For a certain purpose, he let innocent people become pawns to play with him, "Concubine Qin"
How old are you this year?”
Feng Ning suddenly asked about her age, or maybe she didn't expect Feng Ning to ask such a question. Concubine Qin was stunned for a moment before saying, "Qin'er will be sixteen after the Chinese New Year."
"Do you think the imperial palace is fun?" Feng Ning asked. Seeing her expressions and her father's expressions dimming, she couldn't help but sigh. For such a simple woman to enter the palace, it's no wonder that Nie Hongyuan, as a father, had deep distress in his eyes just now.
Concubine Qin didn't answer anything, but she heard another high-pitched voice, "Hey, isn't this sister Ning Concubine, and sister Concubine Qin is also here."
Feng Ning intuitively felt that the sound was very noisy, so she moved her eyes in displeasure and heard the concubine Qin's father and daughter's greetings. Feng Ning also slightly bent her body and said, "I have seen the noble concubine."
"No gift." Then he looked at Feng Ning and said, "I just saw Concubine Ning's sister. After Concubine Qin asked her, Concubine Qin's face turned bad. But what did she do wrong to offend her? If so, what happened?
I hope my sister will spare her this time for my sake."
Concubine Qin opened her mouth to say something, but Concubine Hua glared back and timidly leaned behind her father. Nie Hongyuan saw this and had no choice but to let others offend her.
Feng Ning raised the corner of her lips coldly and looked away boredly, "Hua Guifei was already a deterrent in the harem, but now that your brother is the hero of Yu Shuo's victory, his face has gained a little more. You have spoken.
, how dare Feng Ning not know what’s interesting?”
"You——." Yu Fengning's sharp words made Concubine Hua unable to refute, so she could only say: "Concubine Ning, I do this for the sake of you and me being the Palace Attendants of the same day.
I tolerate your disrespectful words towards me. Don’t forget that I am now a noble concubine.
, if you behave inappropriately in the palace, I have the right to deal with you. I hope you will not push yourself too far." After saying that, he glared at Concubine Ning fiercely, turned and left, thinking about His Majesty's promise to her.
It's not that I can't help her, it's just that the time has not come yet.
Concubine Qin looked at Feng Ning apologetically, her eyes filled with mist, "Sister Concubine Ning, I'm sorry, it's all Qin'er's fault."
Feng Ning shook her head gently, "Qin'er doesn't have to blame herself. My sister didn't take it to heart. Didn't you see that she was so angry that she walked away?"
