concubine queen

Chapter 24 The Mysterious Concubine
The news that Master Fangyi of Qianque Palace was promoted to the fifth rank of Ronghua quickly spread throughout the palaces.In Chengyang Palace, the empress was drinking medicine. Although she was already mentally prepared after hearing the news, she paused and put down the medicine bowl.

"Yuqing, the situation in this imperial palace is about to change again." The empress had bags under her eyes because she was caught in the cold and couldn't sleep all the time, and she looked sad at this moment.

Yuqing was the queen's maid before she got married, and she lived with the queen for 26 years.She felt sorry for the queen, and put the white cloak in her hand on the queen.

"Empress, you have to take care of yourself."

The queen looked at a painting hanging in the palace. It was when she was twenty-eight years old, and she hadn't left the cabinet yet.This painting was drawn for her by the emperor. The painting is very similar, the workmanship is exquisite, and the most important thing is to paint the brilliance in the eyes.But after getting married, the queen always felt that there was something missing between her and the emperor, that kind of thing seemed to be called love.Looking at the paintings painted by the emperor at that time, he lost the mood he had at that time, and only had a deep hatred for the deep palace.

After Fengxi got up, Ming Ningtong opened the window. The morning air was fresh, and she breathed heavily to get rid of the exhaust gas in her body. Fengxi only felt that her whole body was full of energy.

"Master, Ningtong congratulates master for getting Feng Ronghua!" Ningtong knelt down as she spoke, congratulating with style.

Feng Xi helped Ning Tong up.

"You girl, I haven't seen you all night, and your mouth has become sweet again!"

"Hee hee, shouldn't the master deserve a reward?" Ning Tong tied a double bun today, she is extremely cute.

"Reward, you should be rewarded! I think you are not young anymore, so it's time to find you a good husband's family!" Feng Xi deliberately said this, making Ning Tong anxious.

"Master, you can't, you can't just let Ningtong go, Ningtong will stay with the master for the rest of her life!" Ningtong's expression suddenly became serious. She had despaired at the moment when the master wanted to kill her, but Miss But he saved her. From then on, she decided that she would never leave Miss again in this life!

Feng Xi's heart warmed, saving this girl was to have a loyal one, but at the time she was not so sincere, but getting along with Ning Tong, she felt more and more that this little girl was very kind, and she actually regarded her as a sister.

"Ningtong, I'm joking, I know your sincerity to me, I've always regarded you as my own sister." Holding Ningtong's hands, Feng Xi said coquettishly.

Ningtong is just like this, once she encounters Fengxi acting like a baby, she will have nothing to do.

"Master, Ning Tong doesn't want to be the master's sister, as long as she can serve the master all the time, it doesn't matter anything." Ning Tong said this, her eyes moistened.

"I know, Ning Tong, I understand everything, all right, hurry up and accompany me to finish breakfast and go to pay my respects to the empress."

On the way to the Queen's Palace, Fengxi ran into Zhang Huiyi again.

"Congratulations, sister, you've been promoted to Ronghua." Zhang Huiyi saluted neatly.

Feng Xi didn't stop her.

"Thank you, sister. Fengxi is just lucky, and my sister should make preparations early." Fengxi knew that Yu Mingqian would not be able to come again tonight, and only Jian Yingqiu and Zhang Huiyi were the only ones left tonight. Chances of favor are great.

Hearing these words, Zhang Huiyi was very happy, since she came to the palace, she hadn't seen the emperor yet, so she felt a little uneasy.

"Hey, could this be the newly promoted Li Ronghua?"

The coquettish voice caught the attention of the two of them, and when they looked up, they had never seen it before, and it was likely to be Concubine Xiao.

"My concubine has met Xiao Concubine." The two saluted calmly.

Concubine Xiao looked at the woman in front of her, she was fresh and refined, she had no makeup, she couldn't help being jealous, she lost a child, but this new beauty was promoted to two ranks at once, how angry she was.

"You two get up, Zhang Meiren, have you been placed in the palace?" Xiao Pin didn't care about the people in the palace for a few days because of the slippery tire. There lived a beauty.

"Back to your mother, my concubine lives in the side hall of Yichang Palace. I haven't dared to bother my mother for the past few days, and I even asked my mother to make amends." Zhang Huiyi replied in a low voice, not daring to neglect her in the slightest.

Concubine Xiao nodded, this beauty Zhang was quite sensible and looked comfortable.

"I know, that's fine, let's go."

Xiao Pin walked in front, Feng Xi and Zhang Huiyi followed behind, after a quarter of an hour, they finally arrived.

"Sister Xiao, you are not in good health yet, why did you come here to pay your respects?" Concubine Cheng came early today, and as soon as she came, she saw Concubine Xiao, Li Ronghua, and Beauty Zhang coming over.

The three of Concubine Xiao are not as high-ranked as concubines, so naturally they have to salute.

"Thank you, Concubine Cheng, for your concern. Although my sister is not in good health, she must be courteous. This is an old rule. How dare a concubine go against it."

Concubine Cheng laughed dryly, then went in unhappy, ignoring the three of them.

The rest of the people were almost there, and the three of them went in and invited Ann to sit down.

"Today there are two important events. One is that sister Xiao Pin and sister Rong Hua's Jin Feng ceremony is scheduled for the fifth day of this month. Another thing is that Princess Jianing is going back to the palace."

After the queen finished speaking, the concubines below began to discuss.

The first thing is nothing, we already know about it, but the latter thing is not a big deal.This Princess Jianing's real name is Yu Zimu, and she was born of the same mother as the current emperor Yu Mingqian.The emperor loved this princess very much. A few days ago, the princess wanted to travel to various countries, but the emperor agreed immediately, and even sent guards around her to protect the princess, but the deadline was one month.It just happens to be a month old today.

So the concubine's discussion was just thinking about how to please the princess, so as to win face in front of the emperor.

"Sister Rong Hua, what gift do you plan to prepare for the princess?" The other concubines were discussing, but Feng Xi was the only one who sat indifferently and said nothing, so Concubine Cheng asked curiously.

Feng Xi put down the teacup in his hand.

"Concubine Cheng, the concubine plans to give the princess a painting."

"Hehe, I thought that someone as exquisite as my sister must be more expensive than the presents we prepared. It's just a painting."

"A concubine only has this little clumsy skill, and she can't compare to a concubine." Feng Xi looked calm, and she thought about it for a long time to send the princess a painting. Princess Jianing has a noble status and never lacks those gold and silver jewelry.She wants to paint a painting about folk customs, which the princess will definitely like.Even if she doesn't like her, it's not a big loss to her. It's impossible for the empress dowager to alienate her just because the princess doesn't like her.

"Okay, sisters, I'm going to prepare for the return of the princess, so let's leave, sisters."

The queen had spoken, and it was difficult for everyone to stay, so they all left within a while.

"Sister, you go back first, I still want to go to other places." Feng Xi walked to the intersection of Qianque Palace and Yichang Palace, and said gently.

Zhang Huiyi understood, knowing that Fengxi was very tired today, she left with a sense of humor.

"Ningtong, help me go for a walk over there."

Ningtong carefully supported Fengxi, and the two walked towards the back of the imperial garden.The imperial palace is huge, and there are many palaces everywhere, Fengxi intentionally avoided the palaces, and suddenly found a very secluded forest, so she dragged Ningtong into it.

The forest is not big, but it is quiet and quiet. The small house stands in the middle of the forest.

Feng Xi was curious, who would live in this forest?Could it be the late emperor's concubine?

"Ningtong, let's go in and have a look!"

Just as Ning Tong wanted to stop her, she was dragged away by Feng Xi, and she was slandering again in her heart, why did the young lady enter the palace, this old habit still hasn't changed, it's really a headache.

The door of the small room was open, Feng Xi went straight in, but unexpectedly saw a woman who looked like an exiled fairy.

The woman was dressed in white, and she was sitting on a chair with a book in her hand.

"You are Li Ronghua, right?"

Feng Xi looked at the woman, how did she know who she was?
"Exactly, who is the girl?"

The woman put down the book in her hand and stood up.

"I am a concubine of the emperor, but now, I am like a concubine in the cold palace."

When she said this, Feng Xi suddenly remembered that there was actually Ning Jieyu in the palace, but after that incident happened, Ning Jieyu was left out in the cold.I paid my respects to the queen these few days, but I haven't seen her before, so she is here.

"Fengxi met Ning Jieyu." Even though she was a neglected concubine, she was of a higher rank than her, Fengxi still saluted.

Ning Jieyu admired Fengxi for being so smart, she guessed her identity right away, and couldn't help but look at her differently.

"Rong Hua is really smart, I don't know why Rong Hua came here?"

Feng Xi smiled slightly and said embarrassedly.

"Fengxi just likes the quietness here, and doesn't want to disturb Jieyu."

"Since Rong Hua is here, it is destined, please sit down."

Ning Jieyu looked very friendly, but she always felt that this place was too quiet, and Ning Tong felt a little bad in her heart, but Feng Xi had already sat down, so she couldn't say anything, so she stood beside Feng Xi.

Feng Xi and Ning Jieyu actually had some intentions of seeing each other lately, it turns out that Ning Jieyu is also good at playing the pipa, which is comparable to Feng Xi.The two of them couldn't stop talking about pipa, and it was finally noon when Ningtong couldn't bear it before reminding them.

It was indeed a long time, and Feng Xi was too embarrassed to stay, so she stood up, said goodbye to Ning Jieyu, and left with Ning Tong.

On the way back, Feng Xi's expression was not as relaxed as when he came here, and his face was serious.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Feng Xi clenched Ning Tong's hand, "This Ning Jieyu is not easy."

Ning Tong was surprised, the master had just chatted happily with Ning Jieyu, why did he change his attitude now.

"Let's go back." Feng Xi didn't want to say more, she not only talked about pipa with Ning Jieyu just now, but also carefully observed Ning Jieyu's house, although she is a cold concubine, it is strange that her house is so luxuriously furnished , I am afraid that she is comparable to Concubine Cheng. It seems that this woman is not a character who is willing to die of old age in the harem.However, what her family did made her unable to turn around for a while, but the emperor didn't really take her anger out on her, otherwise she wouldn't be here now, and I'm afraid she would be in limbo.Before leaving, Feng Xi suddenly smelled the poisonous smell that Mo Ruzhi had used at home before. Could it be that Ning Jieyu has something to do with people from the Southern Qi Kingdom?No matter what, this person should be on guard.
