Back at Danning Hall, dusk was already setting in the west. Shu Jin took off the gorgeous and heavy jewelry on his head, took off his mink coat, and lay lazily on the imperial concubine's couch, slowly drinking a cup of snow pear soup.
The leader of the eunuchs, Zhang Shoufa, came forward and bowed: "Madam, someone down below saw that half of Ning Guiren's face was swollen."
Shu Jin raised his eyebrows, no wonder he couldn't return to the table, this little rice cake was quite ruthless.
Zhang Shoufa added: "I heard that Ning Guiren secretly changed the palace maid's clothes and entered the Eighth Prince's Nuan Pavilion."
Shu Jin said "Huh", "Even if the people in Fu Chun Hall are busy today, the Nuan Pavilion in the back hall is not that close - I'm afraid Concubine Xi put in a lot of effort."
That's why the little rice cake looks like that.
It's just that Xiao Nian Gao was still concerned about the 100-day banquet and didn't completely break up.
"Has the emperor gone to Fuchun Palace?" Shu Jin suddenly asked with a smile.
Zhang Shoufa nodded, "The imperial driver has already gone west."
At this moment, in the Fuchun Palace, Concubine Dun sent away a group of guests, and when she dropped several fine enamel porcelains, she said, "Please check the mothers around Eighth Prince carefully!! I don't believe it, they
Everyone is blind!"
This was obviously bribed by Concubine Xi!
Concubine Dun was so angry that her pretty face turned purple. The great hundred-day banquet had such a flaw! What a concubine Xi! What a noble Ning!!
At this time, the emperor arrived unexpectedly and saw broken porcelain all over the floor of the main hall.
Concubine Dun instantly looked aggrieved again, and stepped forward to greet her sweetly, with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty! Concubine Xi and Guiren Ning went too far today! While I was free, Guiren Ning sneaked into the back.
Dian Nuan Pavilion made the Eighth Prince cry with fright!"
Yinzhen frowned, "Just because of such a trivial matter?!" Why is he so angry?
Concubine Dun felt extremely aggrieved and immediately applied eye drops in a different way, "Ning Guiren is not only rude to my concubine, but also dissatisfied with the emperor's will!"
"Okay!" Yinzhen was a little impatient, "The eighth prince is her biological son after all, so why not let her see him?"
Concubine Xi had already told someone about Ning Guiren's slap in the face to the emperor. The emperor already knew the cause and effect.
Concubine Dun's heart skipped a beat, what do you mean by "what's the harm in taking a look"?! The emperor clearly gave her the eighth prince, who was her son!
"Your Majesty..." Concubine Dun timidly cried, "Has your Majesty regretted it? Do you want me to return the Eighth Prince to Ning Guiren?"
Yinzhen said with a straight face: "Don't think so wildly. The Wu family is unkind, so naturally they are not worthy of raising my son."
Hearing this, Concubine Dun breathed a sigh of relief and said sweetly: "It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that Ning Guiren didn't hesitate to hurt the child in her belly to slander the concubine's sister. I was really worried... I was afraid that she would do it again.
Hurt Eighth Prince!"
As she said that, Concubine Dun's eyes were filled with tears, "Poor Eighth Prince, he was plotted by his biological mother before he was born. Now, after a few days of peaceful birthday, she showed up again and shocked the Eighth Prince and made him cry for a long time. How about my concubine?
Aren't you nervous? Even though Eighth Prince was not born to me, I really treat him as my own child."
How can such a beautiful woman, so delicate and full of tears, not be moved?
Only then did Yinzhen look gentle, "I understand that you really love the Eighth Prince." - If he hadn't been given too much Achyranthes... the Eighth Prince should have been born to the Nian family. It was because of thinking.
At this point, Yinzhen finally gave his eighth elder brother to Nian, which could be regarded as compensation for her infertility.
"Okay, let's forget about it." Yinzhen waved his hand.
Concubine Dun secretly gritted her teeth, but her face was extremely docile: "As long as Mr. Ning doesn't come to harm the Eighth Prince again, I will pretend that what happened today has never happened."
At the same time, in the Yinghui Hall, half of Guiren Ning's face was covered with a cold handkerchief, while Concubine Xi was sitting on her head with a leisurely expression.
Ning Guiren gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that the emperor went to Fuchun Palace anyway."
But Concubine Xi smiled and said: "Concubine Dun has been favored for many years, where can she move to easily? What's more, today, you finally met the eighth prince."
Ning Guiren couldn't help but have red eyes, "But Eighth Brother... I just hugged him for a while, and he started crying and howling, and even attracted Concubine Dun."
Concubine Xi secretly thought: This is exactly the purpose of this palace.
"What's the use of just meeting like this?" Ning Guiren couldn't help crying.
Concubine Xi laughed and said: "Slapping a concubine is against the rules after all."
Ning Guiren said: "But Concubine Dun is so favored, so what if she doesn't follow the rules?"
Concubine Xi said: "It doesn't matter once or twice. Over time, you can always achieve something. Don't be impatient and take good care of your face first. I will try to help you regain my favor."
Ning Guiren knew that he could only rely on Concubine Xi, so he blessed his body and said, "I understand."
After Ning Guiren retreated, Gui Fu, the eldest maid of Yinghui Palace, couldn't help but said: "My Lady, this Ning Guiren has betrayed your concubine. How can you trust such a person?"
Concubine Xi sneered: "Who believes her? I just see that she is somewhat useful." - The important thing is that Ning Guiren has no one to rely on except her, so naturally he can only listen to her.
if!
Guifu nodded, then frowned: "But if she does such an unkind thing, how can she regain her favor?"
Concubine Xi waved her fan in her hand and sneered at the corner of her mouth: "It doesn't matter whether she can regain her favor. What matters is that she can cause trouble for Concubine Dun." - It would be great if she had the ability to regain her favor.
What is the obstacle to this palace?
It's just a chess piece! If it's useless, it's an abandoned piece.
Returning to the side hall, Ning Guiren sent away the other palace people, leaving only his confidant Yin Zhu. Facing the yellowed bronze mirror, Ning Guiren couldn't help but look at his face. The redness and swelling on his cheeks had gone away by seven or eight points.
Most of the spots on her face when she was pregnant had faded away, but this face... was still far inferior to Concubine Atsushi's.
Thinking of Concubine Dun's charming and arrogant face, Ning Guiren gritted his teeth with hatred.
Yin Zhu took the cool ointment and applied it carefully on her little mistress's cheeks, "My mistress must take good care of her face." - Whether she can be favored again in the future depends entirely on this face.
Ning Guiren took a deep breath and asked, "How much is left of the Snow Lotus and Jade Cream that Concubine Xi rewarded me a month ago?"
Yin Zhu whispered: "My little master uses it day and night, and now I only have this small half box left. This month... Concubine Xi has not given any more rewards, I am afraid that they will run out soon. I still have some ideas."
, Concubine Yang Xi, please give me some more.” Otherwise, I’m afraid it won’t be enough to completely remove the spots on your face.
Ning Guiren sighed: "This thing is precious, how can it be so easy to ask for?"
With that said, Ning Guiren took out her favorite golden phoenix hairpin from the box on the dressing table, "melt this and exchange it for a box of snow lotus and jade ointment!"
Yin Zhu's eyes widened, "Little Master——"
Ning Guiren gritted his teeth: "They are all external things!" - As long as I can regain my favor, I can have as many jewelry as I want!
Yin Zhu couldn't help crying. These days, the little master has melted countless gold and silver jewelry that he loved so much. Now he doesn't even want this hairpin...
