Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 38

This Sister Hua is the one who went to the Zuoxiang Mansion with the Queen Mother to be the Prime Minister. She still has a good impression of Shuning because her master likes her.

Madam Hua took out a box made of red sandalwood and made the concubines stretch their necks. They didn't know what it was, but they actually packed it in a box made of red sandalwood.

"Come on, see if you like it?"

The queen mother asked Shuning to take the box and open it.

"Yes."

Shuning took the box with both hands, opened it and took a look.

"This is too expensive."

Shuning closed the box with a snap, Shu Ning was a little afraid to take it, and wanted to return it.

"What's precious? It's useless to put this thing here. It's not suitable for me to wear it at my age. It's better to wear it at your age!"

The queen mother smiled and asked Shuning to put it away.

"But……"

"Okay, won't you listen to me?"

The Queen Mother scowled.

"Yes."

Shuning hesitated for a while, and she didn't want to offend the Queen Mother, so she accepted it.

Except for the queen who saw what was in the box because she was sitting beside the queen mother, none of the other concubines saw it.Everyone was so curious, especially Shuning's appearance didn't look like a fake, everyone wanted to know what kind of thing Jiafei refused to accept.

Although the queen was surprised that the queen mother gave this thing to Shuning, she didn't feel jealous.On the contrary, after seeing Shu Ning, she didn't rush to take it, but refused, which made her have a lot of good feelings.

Based on her many years of experience in seeing people, it is easy to see that Shu Ning is not the kind of duplicity, she really thinks that things are too expensive and dare not accept them.

A set of pink diamond heads is of course expensive. There were no good cutting tools in ancient times, so diamonds were very difficult to work with in ancient times, let alone made into jewelry.

It was precisely because she knew their true value that Shuning declined.Of course, it is also related to watching too much TV in the previous life. Diamonds can buy a small diamond ring for thousands of dollars in modern times, so it is not very unusual for modern people.

And from Shuning's point of view, the beauty and value of this set of hair is one thing, to her it means more than value and beauty, it was specially given to her by the Queen Mother, it can be used as a talisman when necessary.

With the care of the Empress Dowager and the Empress, the day Shuning entered the palace can be said to be quite majestic.Those concubines who originally wanted to disown her were given two disqualifications by the queen mother and empress, but the person concerned just blinked innocently, gaining the favor of the two harem giants without doing anything.

When she left Quanfu Palace, Shu Ning was still in a dream, feeling that as long as she didn't commit suicide in her harem life, she could basically take care of herself and die happily ever after.

"Who's behind?"

Shuning remembered that there were no palaces or attic courtyards near her Changning Palace, so how could anyone follow her.

"Your Majesty, it's Concubine Niu. She lives in Yuming Building, opposite to Changning Palace."

Hou Lin, the chief eunuch of Changning Palace, looked at it and replied, he was appointed by the emperor, so Shuning directly made him the head of all the eunuchs.

"Concubine Niu?"

Shu Ning had just entered the palace, and she was not familiar with the concubines in the palace. Although Nanny Bai and the others had explained the harem of the current Majesty to herself, she had no impression of this concubine Niu Gui.

"Yes, it was the jade concubine who was promoted a month ago."

From concubine to noble concubine, but the original title is gone.

"It turned out to be her. She is following me now, obviously coming towards me."

Shu Ning put down her hand holding the gauze, the curtains of the sedan chair have been changed from thick material to thin gauze, although it does not keep warm, it is breathable.

"Stop."

With an order, the sedan chair stopped.

Niu Guifei saw Concubine Jia's sedan chair stopped in front, the person who carried the sedan chair stopped immediately, and then walked over to greet Shuning.

"See Empress Jiafei."

"Exemption."

Shu Ning was sitting in the sedan chair, her face was blurred by the tulle, Niu Guibi couldn't see her expression, but from the voice, it could be heard that the bride was not angry, and of course she was not happy.

"Thank you madam."

Standing quietly by the sedan chair, she didn't blame Concubine Jia for looking down on her, she didn't even get off the sedan chair.She is clear about her identity, although she is a noble concubine of the third rank, but she reckons that if there is no accident in her life, her noble concubine will end.She is just a prostitute of a county lieutenant's family, her status is low, and she has not yet conceived an imperial heir, so as long as she remains sterile, the noble concubine is already the highest status she can achieve.

"Is Niu Guifei following me for something?"

The places where the two lived were completely opposite. After all, it took Duolu Chi to follow him all the way from Quanfu Palace.

"Your Majesty, forgive me. I have no other intentions. I just want to visit Your Majesty and say hello to your Majesty."

It was only at this time that Niu Guifei realized how inappropriate her behavior was. It would be bad if Concubine Jia misunderstood that she had bad thoughts about her.And the court ladies and eunuchs who were present at the scene heard what she said. She wanted to surrender to Concubine Jia and be her vassal.
