The queen cried the whole harem

Yan Ning opened the box, took out the jade ring, played with it on her fingertips, and after a moment, she said, "I don't want to do anything, just carve a word on this ring."

Niandie raised her eyebrows and said, "My dear, do you know how to carve?"

He added: "This jade ring is so valuable, it would be a pity if it was broken."

Then he said sadly: "Besides, His Majesty is still waiting for your gift. If you break the carving of this jade ring finger, what gift will you give to Your Majesty?"

Yan Ning touched her chin and said, "I know what's going on. Just go and do it quickly. Your Majesty is still waiting, so don't wait any longer."

Niandie was really worried, but seeing that her mother-in-law didn't seem worried at all, she had to quickly find tools for carving.

After finding it, he quickly came back and handed it to Yan Ning.

Yan Ning sat there, carefully carving words on the ring finger.

Niandie held her breath, fearing that her mother-in-law might accidentally break the precious jade ring.

But after watching for a long time, he didn't see his mother-in-law making a mistake. Niandie breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he was suspicious in his heart. Can the mother-in-law carve things? I don't think so.

Qi Hengyuan was sitting alone on the warm couch drinking tea. After finishing a cup of tea, the prince came in.

Qi Hengyuan asked: "Have you heard about it?"

The prince whispered: "I heard about it. Concubine Yan went to the study in the side hall, and Niandie followed her in. Not long after, Niandie came out, found a set of carving tools in the palace, and then went to the study. "

Eunuch Wang didn't say what happened next, but Qi Hengyuan also thought of it.

Nian Die found a set of carving tools, which were given to Yan Ning.

So what does Yan Ning need engraving tools for?
  She said she wanted to buy a jade ring today, but she didn't give it to him. After returning to the palace, she went to look for tools for carving.

It was obvious that Yan Ning wanted to carve something by herself.

Engraved finger?
  I don't think so.

Qi Hengyuan frowned and whispered: "Go out of the palace to the Golden Plum Pavilion, ask Yan Ning what she just bought, and bring back something else that Yan Ning bought."

Since it is an item sold by Jinmei Pavilion, it is impossible to have only one item. Only if it is customized in the backyard, it is possible to have only one item.

If Yan Ning really bought the jade ring from the store, then when the prince went away, he would definitely be able to buy another one.

The prince immediately responded and went there in person.

By the time Eunuch Wang comes back, the carving on Yan Ning's side will be basically completed.

Niandie took a closer look and asked, "Empress, what words are you carving?"

Yan Ning showed Niandie the words on the ring finger.

Niandie looked at it for a long time before he recognized that it was the word "ding".

Nian Die asked: "Empress, does this word have any special meaning?"

Yan Ning rubbed the word with her fingers and said lightly: "It doesn't have any special meaning. I just thought the word was very meaningful, so I carved it."

Niandie said: "My dear, if you want to carve a special word on this jade ring finger, just ask Master Tao in the backyard for help when you were in the store. If Master Tao is not here, we can also spend some money and ask someone else to help." Come to carve, why do you want to carve it yourself? If you accidentally break the carving, it will be really bad!"

Yan Ning smiled and said, "It's not broken."

Niandie pouted and was about to say something else when she suddenly saw Yan Ning pick up the carving knife next to her and scratch her finger, and soon bright red blood flowed out.

Nian Die was startled and horrified: "Empress, what are you doing?"

She took out her handkerchief and was about to stop Yan Ning's bleeding, but Yan Ning raised her arm to block her.

Then Nian Die saw a very strange scene.

Yan Ning dripped the blood on the green jade finger. Originally, the blood dripped on the hard jade and would slide down the surface of the jade. But at this moment, Yan Ning's blood dripped on the jade finger. After touching the surface of the jade, it did not slip off, but penetrated into the hard jade, gradually dyeing the green jade finger into red. From the inside to the outside, everything turned red.

At the moment when the jade ring finger completely changed color, there seemed to be a flash of light.

Nian Die stared at this strange scene with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open, with an expression of disbelief and shock.

She pointed at the completely discolored ruby ​​ring finger and stammered: "Mother, mother, what is going on?"

Yan Ning took out the handkerchief with a calm expression, pressed the wound on her finger, and just scratched it gently. In fact, if you don't look carefully, you can't see the wound.

She pressed the veil and her fingers stopped bleeding.

She brought the ruby ​​ring to her eyes and looked at it. The characters carved out by her emitted a faint red light and flowed around the ring.

This is a hidden shield that protects Qi Hengyuan.

With this finger in place, any of Rong Wanyin's charming tricks will not succeed.

Seeing that the shield she made was successful, Yan Ning took back the ruby ​​ring and glanced at Nian Die: "Bring the box over."

"what?"

Niandie was still in shock and incomprehension, and had not recovered.

Yan Ning shook her head helplessly, went to get the box herself, put the ruby ​​ring in, and closed the lid of the box.

Niandie slowly came back to her senses and turned to look at Yan Ning: "Empress, why can your blood melt into the finger and change the color of the finger? How is this done?"

Yan Ning walked up to Niandie, looked into her eyes, and said: "I know you can't understand, but maybe you will understand in the future. It's not convenient to explain now, and it's not clear. You just need to keep this matter a secret for me." ”

In fact, Niandie could have been driven outside the study and not allowed to look at it. But when she just bought the ring, Niandie was by her side. Niandie knew what kind of ring she bought. If it suddenly changed, Niandie would also I find it strange.

Furthermore, Nian Die is her personal maid, and she can know some things, so that if any unpredictable accident occurs, she can deal with it immediately.

Nian Die was stunned, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say. She didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment, she just looked at Yan Ning without blinking, with a complicated expression.

Yan Ning patted her shoulder: "Let's go, His Majesty is still waiting for the gift."

Nian Die let out an oh, lowered her head, and followed Yan Ning out with her confused mind.

Yan Ning took Niandie into the inner room. Qi Hengyuan did not sleep, but sat on the warm couch and read a book.

After Yan Ning came in, Qi Hengyuan raised his eyelids and glanced at her. When he saw the exquisite box in her arms, he put down the book and said, "Is this a gift for me?"

Yan Ning nodded, stepped forward, and handed the box to him.

Qi Hengyuan took it, opened it, and was suddenly startled.

He raised his head and glanced at the prince who was waiting on one side.

Eunuch Wang was also surprised. He had just followed Yan Ning and Qi Hengyuan in. Although Qi Hengyuan called him away later when he was choosing a bracelet, he didn't see what Yan Ning was picking, but the waiter still Recognizing him, he said that his young master liked the gift his wife bought very much. The young master wanted to buy another one for himself, so the waiter pointed out another jade wrench.

Wang Gonggong felt that the waiter would not get it wrong, but at this moment, the jade ring he bought was different from the one given to His Majesty by Concubine Yan.

What Concubine Yan gave to His Majesty was a red jade ring.

What he bought back was blue.

I don't know what happened.

Although he was confused, Wang Gonggong would not tell the matter at this time. The prince lowered his head and stood there silently.

Qi Hengyuan just glanced at the prince, and quickly looked away, looking at the ruby ​​ring in the box.

He took out the ring ring, looked at it, touched it, and praised: "The jade ring finger my concubine chose is indeed extraordinary. Although ruby ​​​​is not very rare, such transparent ruby ​​​​is extremely rare. I didn't know it. , Jinmei Pavilion also has such top-grade jade.”

Yan Ning responded in an evasive manner: "As long as your Majesty likes it."

Qi Hengyuan looked at Yan Ning, his dark eyes were very deep. He smiled and said, "I really like the one my concubine picked."

He took off the jasper ring that was originally worn on his hand, put this ruby ​​ring on, and said, "I will always wear it."

After saying that, he picked up Yan Ning's left hand, looked at the white jade bracelet, touched it twice, stood up, and said, "It's very late, let's rest."

Yan Ning nodded, Qi Hengyuan took her to the hot spring pool, and never came out again.

At the end of the commotion, Qi Hengyuan carried Yan Ning out. Both of them were wearing thin underwear.

After lying on the bed, Qi Hengyuan used his inner strength to extinguish the candles outside, lowered the bed curtains, and slept with Yan Ning in his arms.

The next day, while Yan Ning was still sleeping, Qi Hengyuan had already gotten up and asked Eunuch Wang about the jade finger ring yesterday.

The prince frowned and said: "Your Majesty, I should have bought the right thing. Even if I don't know what kind of jade ring Concubine Yan bought, the waiter knows. We just left. The waiter still recognizes the slave, so naturally He still recognizes Concubine Yan, so there is no way he can misremember what Concubine Yan bought."

Qi Hengyuan played with the ruby ​​ring on his thumb, feeling puzzled in his heart.

Yanning bought a jasper ring from Jinmei Pavilion, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into a ruby ​​ring and gave it to him.

Qi Hengyuan asked: "Among the things I rewarded Yan Ning, is there such a ruby ​​ring?"

The prince said at once: "I don't know, I have to go check it out."

"Go and check."

The prince responded and left immediately.

Everything the king rewards is recorded in a register, and the king and father-in-law can check it out as soon as they go there.

He came back and said no.

Qi Hengyuan looked gloomy, stared at the ruby ​​ring on his thumb, and said calmly: "Don't make this matter public, and you will never mention it again in the future."

The prince said with sincerity and fear: "Yes."

Qi Hengyuan stood up and returned to the inner room.

As soon as Yan Ning woke up, Qi Hengyuan walked over, hugged her and kissed her for a while, then called Niandie to come in and wait on her, and then the two of them went to have breakfast.

After breakfast, Qi Hengyuan held Yan Ning in his arms while reading.

At noon, they had lunch and then rested. Qi Hengyuan pressed Yan Ning, and the clouds and rain kept coming.

Evenings were also indulgent.

From the first to the third day of junior high school, the days went by like this.

Qi Hengyuan had to go to court on the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, so he exercised some restraint.

The continuous snow finally stopped, and rosy clouds poured out from the sky early in the morning. By noon, the sun was shining brightly in the sky. Although the climate was still very cold, the sunshine was very warm.

Today's court meeting is a bit long.

Qi Hengyuan listened to Uncle Qi Wang's reminder on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Although Qi Hengyuan would not declare war before the Lantern Festival, he had to make the necessary preparations, especially the remaining three gates with white flags hanging. If you want to declare war, you must first remove the white flag.

What the DPRK will discuss today is how to intelligently destroy the white flag.

At two o'clock in the morning, the court meeting ended.

After that, every day he went to court was centered around the war. Yan Bin was visiting relatives in Guiyang City and had not returned to Lanzhou Pass yet. He also participated in the court meetings in the past few days.

Although they have been discussing the war and how to outwit the white flag, Qi Hengyuan has not decided on any strategy, or he is waiting.

What are you waiting for?
  Of course not waiting for the Jiang State envoy.

Qi Hengyuan is waiting for Chen Dongyan.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, Chen Dongyan and Ji Yan set off from Bobei Pass and returned to Yangcheng. Following them were Liu Jin, Xie Erdan, Chun Yu and Chun Si.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, Rong Wanyin, who had been traveling unhurriedly, also successfully entered the territory of Qi State.

Qi Hengyuan has an spy in Jiang State, and the spy also found out about the Rong family. Rong Wanyin met Uncle Jiang. Qi Hengyuan guessed that Rong Wanyin would be the next envoy of Jiang State, so Qi Hengyuan would definitely let his spy keep an eye on him. Target Rong Wanyin to death.

So when Rong Wanyin left Jiang State, why didn't Qi Hengyuan receive a report from his spy?
  When Yan Ning found out about Rong Wanyin, she also learned about another little cleverness of Rong Wanyin.

Rong Wanyin reunited with her family on her thirties, and Rong Yutao, who married into the palace, also returned.

Rong Yutao stayed at Rong's house for one night and spent the first day of the Lunar New Year at her parents' house. On the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, before Rong Wanyin set off, Rong Yutao pretended to be Rong Wanyin and said she was going to burn incense and pray for blessings, and then took a carriage. gone.

The Qi State secret agent who had been keeping an eye on Rong Wanyin naturally left.

This is a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

It's not that Qi Guo's spies are stupid, but Rong Yutao's role as Rong Wanyin is too realistic. Rong Yutao made up to look like Rong Wanyin, and the people around him were all Rong Wanyin's.

Rong Yutao didn't shy away, so she walked out from the main entrance of Rong's house in a swagger, took a carriage and went to the place where incense was burned.

When the Qi State secret agents saw Rong Wanyin coming out, they left the imperial city and went to the mountains to burn incense. How could they sit still? Naturally, he followed immediately.

This gave the real Rong Wanyin a chance to leave the city.

Rong Yutao acted as Rong Wanyin, and actually went to burn incense, pray for blessings, and came back in the evening.

By this time, the real Rong Wanyin had already left.

The secret agents saw that Rong Yutao, who was acting as Rong Wanyin, returned to Rong Mansion and never came out. Naturally, they did not dare to relax. They kept watching and missed the real Rong Wanyin's departure.

Rong Yutao stayed at the Rong family again that night. She said goodbye to her relatives and returned to the palace on the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Before Rong Wanyin came out, the secret agents kept watching.

Because he kept watching, he didn't notice Rong Wanyin leaving, so he never sent any message to Qi Hengyuan.

But in fact, the real Rong Wanyin has successfully entered Qi State.

Every time Yan Ning sat alone, she would use her magical powers to find out what was going on at Rong Wanyin's side.

Knowing that Rong Wanyin had entered the territory of Qi State, she lowered her eyes and played with the white jade bracelet on her left wrist.

Yan Ning was really giving everything she had to protect Qi Hengyuan.

In this world, there will never be a second Yan Ning, nor will there be a second love from Qi Hengyuan.
