Xianyue looked at the sunlight shining on the gold bricks through the foreign glass, and said calmly: "Ning Gui is still young, there will always be opportunities, how can you say such depressing words."
Xianyue's words gave Ning an ominous premonition. She bit her lip and said, "I know best whether I, my concubine, have any chance. I hope your concubine will give me some advice."
Xianyue shook her head and said: "I just told Ning Guiren, but why did I forget it again in the blink of an eye? In a few days, the emperor's will will be communicated to the Sixth Palace, and Ning Guiren will naturally know it by then."
Mrs. Ning gritted her teeth and said, "I know I'm guilty, but I really want to know if I will have to live under someone else's roof for the rest of my life?"
Xianyue looked at Ning for a long time, sighed softly, and said: "That's all, because we have known each other for many years, I will make an exception for you."
Under Ning's grateful eyes, Xianyue nodded and said: "Yes, someone has indeed advised the emperor that Ama, the noble Qiao, is an important minister of the imperial court and has made many contributions, so she should be registered as a concubine."
Her words made Ning's eyes darken, and she almost fell to the ground. She managed to steady herself with Cui Huan's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "So, the rumors are true, Qiao Guiren is really about to be registered as a concubine?
"
"The emperor has asked me about this matter. I think that Mr. Qiao is still inexperienced. If she were to be canonized as a concubine now, it would not be enough to convince the public, and it would be unfair to others. Therefore, this time the harem is sealed, Mr. Qiao will still be a concubine.
Noble people will not be granted the title of Jin."
This sentence fell into Ning's ears, and it was like the sound of nature. Before she could speak, Xianyue said again: "Since Qiao Guiren is not in the Jin Dynasty, then the position of the Sixth Concubine is complete."
Although Xianyue didn't say it clearly, it's not like Ning couldn't understand this meaning. She will have a place in Jinfeng this time, and she will become the chief and the lord of the first palace!
She happily knelt down towards Xianyue and said with all her gratitude: "Thank you so much for your grace! Thank you so much for your grace!"
"It's cold on the ground, get up quickly." After signaling Cui Huan to help Ning up, Xiayue said again: "The emperor is a very affectionate person. Ning Guiren has been with the emperor for so many years, how can the emperor not care about love?
Even if I don't mention it, the Emperor will eventually choose Jin Feng Ning, so you really don't need to worry."
Ning agreed repeatedly and thanked Xianyue profusely. When she was about to leave, Xianyue suddenly said: "There is one sentence that I have thought about over and over again and still feel it is necessary to remind Mr. Ning."
Mrs. Ning said respectfully: "My queen, please speak. I am listening attentively."
Xianyue's words were very simple, with only two words, "Be careful."
Ning was startled for a moment, but then she understood. She gathered her clothes and bowed down, saying, "Thank you very much for reminding me, I will keep this in mind."
After Ning left the hall, Qi Kuan said softly: "After this incident, I think Ning Guiren and Wei Guiren have completely broken up."
Xianyue smiled slightly and said nothing more, then asked: "What's going on over there at Yimeixuan?"
Qi Kuan bowed and said: "To return to the master, early this morning, Xiao Yuanzi, who was beside Guiren Wei, went out of the palace to meet Guiren Wei's family. After that, Wei De went to various places that sold calligraphy and paintings to inquire, so I went to ask
However, he wanted to find someone who was good at copying handwriting.
Man, Mr. Wei spent so much effort yesterday to take away the paper that Master used to practice calligraphy. I think what I am copying here is the handwriting of Mr. Wei, but I don’t know what Mr. Wei is going to do." As soon as Xiao Yuanzi left the Shenwu Gate with his front legs, he followed with his hind legs.
Went there and followed him for a whole day.
Zhichun pouted and said, "No matter what she does, it won't be a good thing."
Xianyue looked at Qi Kuan and said, "Besides, is there anything else?"
Hearing this, Qi Kuan looked a little strange, "After coming out of the Wei Mansion, Xiao Yuanzi went to an abandoned City God's Temple, where a group of beggars lived. He stayed there for a long time before he came out, and the servants went in to inquire. However, he used two roast chickens to learn some rudimentary skills from a beggar who was handicapped."
Xianyue said in a puzzled voice: "Qian Shu? It's also gambling. Why does Xiao Yuanzi learn this?"
"I heard that Xiao Yuanzi, like Yu Liu before, likes gambling, and often plays dice with the palace servants. Maybe he lost too much silver and wants to use his skills to win some back."
Xianyue nodded slightly and said: "You continue to keep an eye on Xiao Yuanzi. As for matters outside the palace... I will ask Concubine Yi to send someone to keep an eye on it."
Hearing this, Zhichun was surprised and said: "Master, why didn't you ask the prince to send someone to keep an eye on the Wei family? He has many capable people and extraordinary people. The previous incident involving the Kelliet family was also thanks to his help."
"Prince and..." Xianyue paused for a long time, shook her head and said: "Before, the prince and the prince tracked down the Keliye family for me. Although the emperor didn't say anything, I knew that the thorn was always there. If he was lured, If you come out, the consequences will be disastrous; therefore, if possible, there should be no contact between me and Prince He, so as to avoid any trouble."
As they were talking, the night was already like a huge bird's wing, slowly falling from the sky, covering the entire Forbidden City.
On winter nights, apart from the howling cold wind, there are few sounds, but there is one exception. This place is located deep in Yongxiang. The light of the lights shines through the window paper, and from time to time, noisy sounds can be heard inside.
Seven or eight palace servants stared at the overturned dice cup on the table with red faces, shouting incessantly, some called it small, some called it big. Beside the dice cup, there were some scattered silver or coins placed in two places. It's copper coins.
"Open! Four, five, six, fifteen is high, the banker wins!" As the dice cup was opened, those who bet on the small number immediately became dejected, while others were elated and pocketed the money in front of them.
One of the palace servants muttered: "It's really evil. I opened five times in a row and it was a big one. If I keep losing like this, I will lose my pants."
Someone heard what he said and said jokingly: "As for your tattered pants, no one wants a penny from them. It's better not to take them off and be embarrassed."
The man blushed at what he said. He scratched his neck and yelled: "What are the trousers? Where are they torn? Where are they torn? Don't forget, you lost worse than me last time!"
"Bah!" A sudden voice stopped their argument. A man pressed a small silver ingot weighing about five taels onto the "small" and said with red eyes: "I don't believe you can open six big ones in a row!"
The palace man known as Niu Er widened his eyes and said: "Qi Qi, you can do it. I thought you had lost all your money, but you actually hid such a silver ingot!"
Liu Qi gritted his teeth and said: "There is only one left, I have to win no matter what."
The person in charge of rolling the dice was none other than Xiao Yuanzi. He glanced at the small silver ingot betted on "small" and showed a faint smile. He did not gamble today, but was specifically responsible for rolling the dice for this purpose. Let Liu Qi lose money. In fact, since the gambling started today, Liu Qi has only won two games and lost the rest.
