Rebirth Palace Chaos

Chapter 32

"The ginseng tea in the imperial dining room is ready, this old slave will go and bring it to the emperor." Wang Zhongming took it away when he saw it was ready, closed the door and retreated.

After Wang Zhongming left, Duan Zhaoling thought for a long time, and shot a jade whistle through the west window. A moment later, a dark blue figure came quietly.

"Did the wind make any changes when he came in?" He stood with his back, unable to hear any emotion.

"Report to Your Majesty, everything is as usual." The voice was cold and uninhibited.

Duan Zhaoling nodded, then turned around suddenly, staring gloomyly, "Ning Qing, how did you find out what I told you?"

Ning Wenyuan raised his head slowly, with black hair and a jade crown, and his sword eyebrows were clear, he took out a secret letter from his pocket and presented it, "The amount of official bank in Cangzhou is insufficient, the vacancy allows private affairs, and the state officials are in vain. And the Shangshu Mansion is also connected."

As expected, Duan Zhaoling took a sip of tea before sitting back to the case, and leaned half on the desk, "Very well, continue to investigate, remember to act in secret."

Ning Wenyuan was in debt, with a heroic spirit, "When did this humble minister disappoint His Majesty?"

Duan Zhaoling smiled and waved his hands, "If not, how could I have handed over the full power of the Wind Envoy to you."

"Thanks to His Majesty's attention." Ning Wenyuan raised his hands and feet, with a stern look, unruly temperament like a horse, and as keen as a tiger or leopard.

The hall was very quiet, Duan Zhaoling drank tea by himself, and did not speak again until the tea was exhausted, "Your teacher is still in the position of Zuo Langzhong in the Ministry of War. From your point of view, what is he like?"

Ning Wenyuan replied in a firm voice, "He is upright and honest."

Duan Zhaoling leisurely glanced at his face, casually probing, "You are always in the Su residence, and you want to have a close relationship with my Su Wanyi. It was fortunate to have your help in the last framed incident."

Ning Wenyuan has been with the king for many years, so he naturally understands the deep meaning. I saw him holding his sword slightly, without changing his expression, "In the past, my minister treated her like a sister, but now, my minister treats her like a master. The matter of brewing, the matter As for the bloodline of the royal family, I will spare no effort to find out the truth, otherwise I will be ashamed of my Majesty."

"It's just a casual question. How could I not know Ning Qing's thoughts?" He walked over, smiling lightly, and pressed Ning Wenyuan on the shoulder. Mo, who both have a handsome and extraordinary appearance, are indistinguishable from each other.

Looking at each other for a moment, they all raise their eyebrows and smile, but the meaning in their eyes has their own thoughts.

Ning Wenyuan quickly walked out from the back door of Kunyuan Hall, then followed the tranquility of the imperial garden to inspect the outer city.

What the emperor said just now was not just casual, now that Yan'er is favored by the sixth palace, it is not what it used to be.

His knuckles holding the sword were too hard and turned white. She finally got what she wanted, she must be happy, and I should be happy for her...

For some reason, that delicate voice lingered in my ears.

"Brother Wen Yuan, take Yan'er to the market, Yan'er must not tell Daddy, okay?"

"The flower cat you gave me last year was lost, and Yan'er won't feed it anymore..."

The face in her mind gradually became clear, and her expression was terribly unfamiliar, "Right now, I'm only grateful that you took care of me since childhood and treated me like a brother. But I already belong to my heart, so I don't need to mention the past."

The cold wind blew past his face, it was like a knife cutting his face, and it was painful.

"My lord... this paper kite hangs so high, I can't climb a tree..."

A timid voice came from the small pine forest behind the rocks. For some reason, these words pierced his heart precisely, as if returning to the summer many years ago. Hanging the paper kite he sent to the top of the tree, I just stood under the tree and wiped away my tears.

The whole family persuaded her not to stop, and only waited for him to come, and then heard her sobbing, "Brother Wen Yuan gave me a gift, Yan'er wants this one..."

He stopped and looked quietly through the cracks in the jungle trees. He knew that the person was not her, but he still stopped involuntarily.

But seeing that Xuesong lowered her head, one tall and one short stood two women in palace costumes, all dressed as concubines, and two servant girls from the side were looking up at the treetops.

The tall slender woman wore a light purple fox fur cloak, her face was gorgeous, and her tone was very arrogant, "You are the clumsy one who hung up my paper kite. If you don't take it off today, you won't have to go back to the palace!"

After all, she glanced at her eyebrows and refused to let go. The little woman was wearing thin and simple clothes, trembling slightly and kept begging, "My lord, calm down, I'll go back and tie another one for you."

"No, I'll climb up now, and I'll go back to the palace for dinner later." She had a servant girl to use, but it made it difficult for her, which was obviously bullying.

The short girl didn't dare to refuse, she actually walked under the tree, hugged the tree trunk and climbed up with difficulty, the tall slender girl obviously looked like she was enjoying the show, and the maidservants also covered their sleeves and smiled.

Ning Wenyuan didn't recognize them, and the harem was deep, so naturally he wouldn't meddle in their own business.

Unexpectedly, he turned his back and was about to leave, when he heard a sharp cry, and while the pine leaves rustled, he had already jumped forward, grabbed the back of the woman who had fallen from the tree, swung his waist, and landed firmly.

Perhaps because of the words just now, he was unwilling to stand by and watch, after all, life and death were at stake.

Yao Guiren was stunned, when he saw a black robe rushing out from the forest, his skill was chic and neat, and he actually saved that Bihe.

Taking a closer look, the man has a handsome face, only in his early twenties, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he didn't expect there to be such an outstanding person in the palace, and he was still a strange boy, so he couldn't help lowering his head and avoiding it slightly.

That Bihe had just recovered from the shock, and hurriedly thanked him, only to see Ning Wenyuan's eyes glanced at Yao Guiren, and he jumped again, clung to the tree trunk, and took down the paper kite with a few strokes.

Fu patted the lapel again, handed the paper kite in front of Yao Guiren firmly, leaned forward and said, "My lord, if your paper kite is like this next time, you can send it to the palace servants, don't embarrass a weak woman."

Yao Gui's face turned red, but he didn't accept it.Ever since she was a child, no one has ever dared to criticize her, but now she doesn't know how to refute, so she just turns her face away and pretends to answer calmly, "Who should I teach to get my paper kite? What's the matter, what a big breath."

Ning Wenyuan's brows moved slightly, he retracted his arms, and said calmly, "Since the young master said so, it can be considered that this humble minister is meddling in his own business, so let's put it back."

"Stop," Yao Guiren yelled softly, and seeing Ning Wenyuan turned his head, he corrected his posture again, put on an air of pride, and said, "Give me back the paper kite, and you've saved that Bihe's life."

Ning Wenyuan didn't intend to stay at all, but seeing her arrogant demeanor, he casually suppressed her spirit.

He handed the paper kite into the hands of the servant girl, raised his sword, turned around and left without saying a word.

It seemed that just a movement of his figure disappeared into the pine forest. Several people stood there in a daze. Everything happened so suddenly. Yao Guiren quietly stared at his elegant and handsome back in a daze until the servant girl Qingxue reminded him , then hastily tied her hair up in a bun, retracted her thoughts, and shouted at Bihe, "Useless things can't do anything, they annoy me for nothing, go down!"

That Bihe seemed to have received an amnesty, hurriedly bowed to say goodbye, and left in small steps.

"My lord, that son is so handsome just now, I don't think there is such an outstanding man in the palace, and he doesn't look like a father-in-law..." Qingxue taught Ning Wenyuan's demeanor at this moment, fascinated by his eyes, with a look of fascination state.

Yao Guiren spat and said angrily, "If you don't see it, how could that man be a father-in-law! As a maidservant in the inner court, you are so shameless to talk about a man!"

Qingxue hurriedly begged for mercy, "This servant is too talkative, this servant realizes his mistake, don't blame the nobleman!"

Seeing the paper kite in her hand, Yao Guiren walked forward slowly, but the expression of the man in black was very clear, so she shook her head and said sternly, "You must not tell others about the matter just now, otherwise Watch your skin carefully!"

"That's natural, I have never seen anyone before."

Hearing this, Yao Guiren nodded and stopped talking.

After dinner was served, Wang Zhongming went to the imperial study several times before Duan Zhaoling put down his official duties and came out.

He stretched his waist, and before he sat down, he asked, "Why hasn't Su Wanyi come here yet, but she's still in the Cloud Palace?"

Wang Zhongming bowed deeply, and replied, "When His Majesty was just discussing the affairs of state, Su Xiaozhu waited outside for an hour, not daring to disturb His Majesty's administration of affairs, so he entrusted the old servant to pass on a message, saying that he had gone to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to visit His Highness. In the evening, I will serve the Empress Dowager to sleep, and hope for your Majesty's permission."

Duan Zhaoling suffocated slightly, raised the corners of her lips imperceptibly, she acted decisively, if this high-sounding reason was not allowed, it would be unfilial and unrighteous, if it was allowed, it would even indulge her.

This woman actually learned to cut first and then play.

He then sat down slowly, the palace servant served the dishes, and she was with her these days, always finding ways to have fun when eating, but this time he left, he seemed quite deserted.

Wang Zhongming took a good look at the words, brought the jade plate, and said, "I heard that the plum blossoms in Yao Guiren's palace have newly bloomed, and the fragrance can be smelled from a distance."

Duan Zhaoling squinted his eyes and leaned back on the high chair. Now he should treat Mrs. Yao kindly, but tonight he has other considerations.

Seeing the emperor got up and dusted off his clothes, Wang Zhongming waved his hand, and the servant girl came in to change clothes.

"Be prepared, I remember that the plum blossoms in Concubine Yi's palace are always delicate and beautiful, why don't you go and have a look with me."

"Yes." Just as Wang Zhongming was about to go down, Duan Zhaoling called him back, "Tomorrow, I will reward Yao Guiren with the flying swallow and thin-waisted jade vase in my study, saying that it is just right for the plum blossom."

Su Yan went back to Lingyan Pavilion first, and took Sang Yu and Lan Ruo to the Palace of Compassion.

She has dominated the limelight in the past few days, Concubine Yi and Concubine Jing are in second place, the Empress Dowager must serve her carefully, so that the road ahead will be smooth.

She personally went to the small kitchen to steam the Empress Dowager Jiang's favorite glutinous rice cake with fragrant plum blossoms. Her craftsmanship is excellent. This plum blossom cake is sweet but not greasy, and has a delicious fragrance. Even Duan Zhaoling often asks for some to eat.

"It's too simple for Miss to visit the Empress Dowager, just bring these?" Lan Ruo asked a little worriedly.

Su Yan smiled triumphantly, "The Empress Dowager is not short of anything, but my craftsmanship is hard to buy, and others can't do it like this."

She put on a water-red fleece cloak, and she wore a double-breasted dress with fairy flowers on the inner lining.

Su Yan arrived generously, and after sending a report from the palace servants, she went straight into the palace, and then stepped into the gate of the Palace of Compassion, and saw Empress Dowager Jiang leaning on the high couch, eating fresh fruits, and the attendants beside her were It's Concubine Jing.

She glanced over and couldn't help but paused, there was still one person sitting on Concubine Jing's seat, that woman was in light blue palace attire, and when she turned around and saw her coming, her surprise turned into joy.

Su Yan tidied up her appearance, and then went forward to salute. The Empress Dowager Jiang taught her to flatten her body without haste, and then Su Yan handed over the carved food box, and said softly, "The glutinous rice plum cake made by my concubine, Queen Mother, you can try it." Taste it."

Then she turned her head and said with a smile, "Sister Lin, let's try Yan'er's handicraft together."
