Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 122 What This King Values ​​Is Her Ambition
Yongning, who heard the sound of the piano, stopped in front of Ningde Hall for a while, and then followed the sound towards Meilin.

Under the sparse moonlight, the branches in the plum forest cut the moonlight into fine pieces, and sprinkled all the moonlight in the small pavilion in the forest.

The moonlight fell mottled on the woman in the pavilion, just like a picture scroll, exquisite and perfect...

The woman in the light blue palace dress had long hair hanging down her shoulders, sitting cross-legged, and a long piano resting on her lap was exposed when her sleeves fluttered slightly.

When Ruyu's fingers flicked lightly, the sound of the piano flowed wonderfully under the fingers, echoing ethereally in the plum forest.

Tonight and Hexi, seeing this beloved... Zixi Zixi, such a beloved...

Tonight and He Xi, seeing this encounter...Zi Xi Zi Xi, such an encounter...

Tonight and Hexi, whoever sees this charm... Zixi Zixi, such a charming person...

The woman's clear singing voice drifted to the ears of Emperor Yongning along with the mournful Guangling song...

Under the moonlight, it is extremely soft and ethereal...

oh?This woman... Looks like a beautiful girl in service?
Emperor Yongning slowed down his pace, the sound of stepping on dead branches was broken, as if he couldn't bear to disturb the wonderful sound.

Suddenly, the piano sound stopped abruptly.

The woman stopped what she was doing, and a gust of wind suddenly whipped up a strand of hair hanging from her shoulders.

She folded her arms in the cold wind and trembled slightly, her slightly powdered face was extremely charming under the moonlight, and her misty eyes looked pitiful.

Seeing this situation, the pity in Emperor Yongning's eyes grew stronger.

He took off his silver fox cloak, stepped forward quickly, and gently draped it on the woman's shoulders.

The woman froze and turned around abruptly.

But when he saw the corner of the bright yellow brocade robe embroidered with dragons, a strange smile flashed across his eyes.

Then she exclaimed, before she could speak, she fell to her knees straight on the ground...

"Your Majesty! Minnv has no intention of offending Shengyan! She just came here to practice the piano when she saw that Meilin was silent here... Minnv really made an unintentional mistake! If she knew that His Majesty would come, Minnv would not be so disrespectful! Please punish her! "As she spoke, her eyes were red and she wanted to take off the cloak on her shoulders.

Emperor Yongning smiled helplessly, held down her hand that was trying to untie the cloak, and helped her up from the ground.

Seeing the woman's misty eyes that seemed to be frightened, he smiled gently.

"Tonight and tonight, see this beloved? If you don't want to see me...then there is another beloved?"

"Ministers don't dare!" The woman lowered her head timidly after she finished speaking.

"The Holy Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the Minnv is just a little girl... A Minnen is not blessed..."

The silver fox cloak was draped over her body until it reached the ground, making her even more exquisite and petite.

"If I say you are blessed, do you still dare to call yourself unblessed? Is it because you want to resist the decree and disrespect?"

Seeing her stunned, Emperor Yongning grabbed her and hugged her horizontally.

"Tell me, what's your name?"

The woman turned pale with fright and had no choice but to bury her head in Emperor Yongning's arms.

The aftertaste of the ambergris that was slightly stained on the imperial robe was slightly heavy, but it made the smile on the corner of her mouth even more coquettish.

The shy voice brushed gently, sweet and clear.

"Minister Wen Chunxiao..."

And the palace lanterns of Ningde Hall were lit all night, reflecting the mottled and dark moss marks on the rockery...

Before dawn on the second day, He Lan, who was lying on the couch and sleeping with her clothes on, was awakened by a nightmare.

On the gold-plated small table in the shape of plum blossom lacquer at hand, there are several plates of cool snacks, the candle flame in the lamp is beating, and the shadow of the lamp is dim.

"Jade pattern!"

After she called out, she got up and put on her embroidered shoes, stroked her forehead, and walked quickly to the outside of the hall.

It was still dark outside the hall, with a few flickering stars sprinkled in the night sky, and the few palace lanterns beside the rockery remained the same.

The little maid standing on the steps at the side heard the call and trotted to He Lan's eyes.

"Master, why did you come out..."

Seeing that she wanted to help her, He Lan quickly waved her hands, "Now... what time is it?"

The little maid hurriedly replied: "Master, it's only five o'clock... I should help you to rest in the inner hall, shall I?"

He Lan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and she murmured to herself in a low voice: "It's already five o'clock..."

Today... isn't the Holy Majesty coming to Ningde Hall?

Now the palace lantern has not fallen...

Her eyes darkened for a moment.

Yuwen heard the movement outside the inner hall in the small kitchen, and hurriedly walked to He Lan with a mahogany tray.

The little maid bowed and took the tray in Yuwen's hand, on it was a bowl of very light but warm herbal porridge.

Yu Wen supported He Lan and persuaded him: "Master...the Holy Majesty must be busy with government affairs today, and he will definitely come tomorrow."

He Lan looked at the bright palace lantern and nodded slightly.

After the sky brightened, the woman at the concierge of Jing'an Hou Mansion hurried to Wutong Garden.

At this time, in Wutong Garden, Xue Yan picked up a pair of pearl earrings and smiled at Jiang Jinyan: "Miss, this pendant matches the jade hairpin with ancient patterns on your head."

Jiang Jinyan smiled and said, "Just use this."

Mother Xu raised the curtain and came in, "Miss, the concierge has sent you a post."

Oh?
At this time... what will be posted?
Jiang Jinyan put away his thoughts, nodded slightly to Mama Xu and said, "Mom just let me have a look."

After Xu's mother heard this, she bowed and presented the extremely delicate and precious post.

The palace banquet two days later?

After reading this post, Jiang Jinyan frowned slightly.

She stared at this extravagant post, lost in thought.

Linqiu Hall?
That was Taifei Li's realm. After marrying into Prince Duan's mansion in her previous life, she often went to Linqiu Hall to visit her mother-in-law, Taifei Li.

But...how could she post a post to herself at this time?

I am just an unpopular young lady from the Hou Mansion...

In the end, he was going to enter the palace, which was a major event that should not be taken lightly.

She handed the post to Mother Xu, thought for a moment and said, "This post...sent to the master's study, so that the master can have a look."

Since this matter is still related to the face of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, now it is not up to him alone.

Xu's mother nodded after hearing this, and said, "In the end, it's Miss who is thoughtful."

After speaking, she took the post and opened the curtain to leave the inner room.

Seeing her leave, Xueyan hurriedly asked: "Miss... Where did you send this greeting card?"

Jiang Jinyan lowered his eyes and said lightly, "This is a post for the palace banquet."

Xueyan was taken aback, "A post about the palace banquet?! Oh my God! Miss...then you are going to enter the palace?"

Gently opened the dressing box, Jiang Jinyan carelessly flipped a few gilt and silver hairpins lying together.

"Maybe I'm going this time."

Xueyan was both surprised and pleasantly surprised, "Miss is not happy? If you get the favor of some nobleman in the palace, maybe you can point to a good marriage in the future!"

Jiang Jinyan glanced at her, but the smile on his lips faded even more.

A nobleman in the palace?Those children are not ordinary masters...

And good family...

The so-called good marriage in my last life ended like that, and it seems that I have never expected anything extravagantly in this life...

Suddenly, that handsome and unparalleled face seemed to flash in front of his eyes again.

She pursed her lips and remained silent, but her heart warmed up a lot.

This is the most cherished accident in this life...

Thinking about it, Jiang Jinyan stood up with a smile, and poked Xueyan's forehead, "What a good marriage...you girl, why are you so shameless?"

Xue Yan tilted her head, stuck out her tongue, and said with a smile: "Miss, don't annoy me, I'll go and have a look carefully."

Because of Xin Xin's laziness in winter, the wounds of Xin Xin are already healing in the past few days.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Jinyan said: "Look at him, don't let him go out and get muddy, the wound will heal better, if you don't watch it...it will be bad."

Xue Yan nodded, "I see."

At this moment in Prince Duan's mansion, a court lady bowed and said, "My lord, the empress dowager has told you to come into the palace in two days."

Zhou Chengrui slowly put down the brush in his hand, and glanced at the plum tree on the paper.

The branches of the plum tree are vigorous and proud, while the plum blossoms are as red as snow in the wind and snow.

For some reason, this scene reminded him of that little girl in Jing'an Hou's mansion that day.

little woman?
I'm afraid I underestimated her.

But she could be as beautiful as a begonia, but she was so elegant and elegant, as clear and glamorous as the world...

Pulling back his thoughts, he raised his eyes and asked lightly: "Oh? Did the concubine say anything?"

Seeing that King Duan raised her eyes and glanced at herself, the maid quickly blushed and lowered her head.

This Prince Duan...is really unbelievably handsome!

She softened her voice and said: "Reporting to the lord, the empress dowager has ordered to go down. There will be a palace banquet in Linqiu Palace in two days. The empress dowager also said that this palace banquet is to clean up the princess who came from Anxi... ..."

Zhou Chengrui frowned, but seeing that the plum blossoms were not red enough, he picked up the brush and tapped it lightly for a moment.

Only then did I feel so amazing.

It took a while for him to smile, waved his hand and said: "Go back to the concubine, this king knows."

But he went over the word Anxi in his heart...

After the maid left, Yan Rang stepped into the study.

"My lord, the nanny said that the things have been delivered. I just came back and said that the Holy Lord came to visit Xiaozhu Wen last night, but the position has not yet been determined."

Only then did Zhou Chengrui put down the brush, and a smile burst into his slender peach blossom eyes.

"The king hasn't put this line long enough... let the nanny keep an eye on her."

Yan Rang nodded, and said again: "The daughter of the Dingzhou He family who is widely rumored in the palace now lives alone in the first palace... Your lord is not worried that she will steal the favor of this little master?"

The first daughter of the He family?

Zhou Chengrui curled his lips and shook his head slightly, "The concubine has already sent someone to bring a message. This daughter of the He family is favored, and there are Wang family's intentions behind it."

Yan Rang let out a low voice, "What? The Wang family? How could the Wang family support such a beautiful girl? The He family in Dingzhou... It seems that there is no courtier surnamed He in the court..."

Zhou Chengrui narrowed his eyes slightly, "Perhaps...the Holy Majesty has always valued her background? Living in the shadow of the previous court, the Holy Majesty may not feel at ease."

Yan Rang was puzzled again: "Wen Chunxiao is the daughter of the Jiangnan Wen family, and this Jiangnan Wen family is also not outstanding in Jiangnan, so the prince chose her because of this?"

Zhou Chengrui took the brocade handkerchief placed by the table and wiped his hands.

"What this king likes... is her ambition..."

With that said, he turned around and walked out of the study.
