Xiao Chengyan himself didn't know what was going on. His ears always turned red when he was with this girl. It was also his fault that the girl had acted like that just now.
Knowing that the girl must have seen his shyness in her eyes, he simply let it go. After these six months, Xiao Chengyan had a thorough understanding of this girl's temperament.
Slowly, he lost his guard. Xiao Chengyan was thinking about whether he should put some burden on this girl's shoulders in the past two days, otherwise he would live in a hazy state in the harem all day long, which would be boring to watch.
Xiao Chengyan is not a person who just wants to take action.
After Ningxi spent a few days peacefully in Yongfu Palace, on the first day of April, as soon as she came back from greeting the Queen Mother, she saw the Emperor and Eunuch Wan waiting beside her.
Ning Xi was surprised, what the hell was going on in the past three days? With so many beauties in the palace, he still had time to come to her place.
After greeting her, she sat down and understood the whole story. Ning Xi really wanted to slap her away and let her take charge of the procurement of the harem. Was she crazy?
She was not interested in getting promoted or making a fortune, she just wanted to live her own life peacefully, and besides, there was still the empress in the palace after the harem.
"Your Majesty, isn't this inappropriate? Isn't the Queen the Queen responsible for all matters in the harem?"
"It's true that the queen is responsible for the affairs of the harem, but you also have to see if your third sister can be responsible. I will have the accounts of the palace over the past few years sent to you. I heard what your cousin said. Your ability as a housekeeper is excellent." Xiao Chengyan was a good hand at getting away with it. He clearly wanted people to stop being lazy, so he pushed the matter onto Ning Honghui in just a few words.
Why let her get involved in palace affairs? Firstly, he really wanted to give people something to do. Secondly, Xiao Chengyan still remembered that this girl had discussed the palace expenses with the servants around her. Xiao Chengyan was afraid that he would have to admit that she was indeed a good housekeeper.
"My cousin said that?"
When Ningxi heard the word cousin, she naturally understood the matter. Ning Honghui, the younger member of the Ning family, was the emperor's companion. It was said that the two had a good relationship. Now it seems that this is true.
If you think about it this way, wouldn't it mean that she was a complete novice in front of Xiao Chengyan, and everything was revealed by that big mouth.
Looking at the two large boxes of accounts in front of him, Ning Xi gritted his teeth and read out the name of his third cousin again.
Ning Honghui had nothing to do at home recently. He was practicing Chinese calligraphy with his son at home when he suddenly sneezed twice.
"Dad, did you catch a cold?" Ning Duo, the little baby of the Ning family, held the pen and was caring about his father obediently.
Ning Honghui touched his son's head and said, "My father is in good health. It is probably because your aunt was talking about my father in the palace."
"Oh~, when will my aunt come to see me? My aunt promised to accompany me to watch the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It's been so long since the New Year, but my aunt hasn't come yet."
Ning Honghui didn't expect that his son would still remember this. It had been so long. It had already been a year since the emperor ascended the throne. His father had long thought of resigning and taking his mother out for sightseeing. However, there was no news from the one in the main palace.
As a good friend, he was also anxious for the emperor. There was only a four-year-old eldest prince in the palace, who was born to Concubine Liu Xian. Fortunately, Concubine Liu Xian's family status was not prominent and she had no supporters behind her.
"Dad, Xiaobao misses his aunt. When will aunt come visit me?"
Ning Duo missed his aunt very much because Ningxi had been tinkering with some weird things for the little guy in the past six months.
Ningxi has a way of pleasing children.
"I miss my aunt. How about my father taking you to see my aunt another day?"
After receiving Ning Honghui's approval, Ning Duo happily continued to write his big characters.
Ning Honghui was thinking that he had never been to the palace since the emperor ascended the throne. He always met the emperor outside the palace, but they had not seen each other for a long time since the last meeting.
Ning Honghui was thinking about Ningxi and wondering about the day when he would go to the palace to meet the emperor and take a look at his little cousin.
Ningxi, on the other hand, is a little anxious. After living a comfortable life for more than half a year, it has turned into a busy state. It's surprising that Ningxi can adapt!
Once a person develops inertia, it will be difficult to become active again.
Ningxi lay lazily on the couch and flipped through two books, "Fu Ling, call the father-in-law in charge of purchasing here tomorrow and tell him that I have something to give him."
Fu Ling knew that her master had an eye on the emperor. Fu Ling had been in the harem since she was a child, and what she heard and saw mostly was the intrigues between the ladies. Like her current master, who was deaf to what was happening outside the window and only wanted to stay in bed. , this is the first time I met Poria.
Being lazy also has its advantages. With their status and status, slaves like them will not be wronged. There is no need to worry about meeting Long Yan.
Before being transferred to Yongfu Palace, Fuling thought she would survive another four or five years and successfully leave the palace, but she never thought that one day she would serve the imperial concubine.
The most ruthless family belongs to the emperor. Poria cocos entered the palace at the age of six. In the past ten years, she has seen how the late emperor treated the women in the harem. Poria cocos has never dreamed of a sparrow flying up a branch and turning into a phoenix.
Even though she is just a little girl, she also has thoughts in her heart.
Poria cocos once told Ningxi that she would be a couple for the rest of her life. At that time, Ningxi was stunned and thought that there was someone from the same country in her palace. However, after repeated testing, it turned out that it was Poria cocos who had been influenced by her parents. Impact.
Ningxi also yearns for this kind of love in this era.
What comes after yearning for more is admiration. I admire that in this era of three wives and four concubines, there are still men who are willing to protect their wives for the rest of their lives.
Of course, except for her father, who is a strict wife, haha~~~~
Ningxi didn't know how good her sleep quality had been since she took over the palace affairs. Many times she had already rested when Xiao Chengyan came.
Seeing this, Xiao Chengyan didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Nowadays, he, the emperor, has lost more and more status in the eyes of the noble concubine.
Xiao Chengyan was not a temperless person. He changed his past habit of going to Yongfu Palace and started sleeping with beauties in the harem.
Xiao Chengyan still doesn't know what thoughts she has about this little girl who can only look at but not eat, but Xiao Chengyan can understand what she thinks about him, that is, she has no thoughts.
Therefore, Xiao Chengyan tried his best to find something for this girl to do. It would not be good to enter his harem and think about the same life as a young lady.
Today, Ningxi didn't go to bed prematurely. She took a few more bites of food at the dinner table and suddenly thought of going out for a walk in the yard. Ningxi felt that it was time for her body to grow.
It has been more than half a year since the next year, and she will be fifteen years old next year. At that age, she is afraid that she will have to gain weight. Ningxi couldn't help but think of the time when she gained weight during puberty. She couldn't do that anymore. She would lose weight. How painful it is, only those who have experienced it will understand.
After digesting the food, Ningxi sat in front of the desk, picked up last month's account book, pinched the center of his eyebrows, "Forsythia, go and ask the father-in-law in charge of purchasing to come see me tomorrow!"
Could it be that she feels that a young concubine like her is easy to bully!
Ningxi took over the palace affairs and said it was not a long time or a short time. It was more than three months ago. She said that again and again and again and again. She had hinted to Eunuch Chai twice, but he still did not make changes. Then It's really time to call someone in front of me and hammer it.
"If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Everyone knows this truth. However, some things can be done openly, and some things are suitable to be done in secret. But don't treat others as fools. Do you think this is the truth? In this world Well, I think the most important thing about him is someone who can pretend to be stupid~"
It was also the first time that Chai Ruyi saw this little noble concubine. She was sitting in front of the desk so wantonly, but she was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat.
"It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival again. I don't need to leave some things to you, Eunuch Chai!"
"Why do you need your Majesty to explain such a trivial matter? I will definitely handle it beautifully for you next month."
Chai Ruyi stepped out of the gate of Yongfu Palace, and his feet felt weak. He remembered the last smile of the imperial concubine, which seemed to be smiling but made you feel chilled in your heart.
That is the home of a girl who has not yet had haircuts.
Fu Ling sent the person to the palace gate and returned back calmly.
Before stepping into the inner hall, I heard Forsythia getting curious, "Why do you think of beating Mr. Chai now?"
Within a few seconds, her mother-in-law spoke slowly, presumably pointing to the account book in front of her.
"Judging from these accounts, this person is a little clever, but your master is afraid that he will be taken advantage of, so he called him here first. This reminder is a good intention. Whether you accept it or not depends entirely on this guy. After all, it is coming soon. On the Mid-Autumn Festival night, the harem will inevitably move around, so you should be careful during these days, Forsythia."
Fu Ling walked to the inner room and saw that her master was really holding the account books. When he saw her coming in, he turned his eyes over and asked, "Send them away!"
"Yes, I looked at the scene just now and was very frightened by the thought of Eunuch Chai~"
After replying, Fu Ling stood aside to wait on her. He was a little hesitant in doing things for a while. Ning Xi glanced at her sideways and whispered softly, "Huh?"
The meaning is obvious, if you have anything to say, please speak up!
"I just want to tell you, if I do something wrong in the future, please don't scare me like you did today."
Well--
Ningxi glanced at the girl kneeling next to her. If she didn't scare Chai Ruyi now, then if she scared the little girls in her palace, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
Whether Chai Ruyi was frightened or not, Ningxi got the news on the third day. At this time, Ningxi was still in the Queen Mother's Palace, eating fast and chanting Buddha with her old man. She was young and did not make any noise on weekdays. , the Queen Mother would call people over from time to time. To be honest, the Queen Mother was feeling bored.
But between being bored and watching the harem women fighting, the Queen Mother wisely chose to be bored.
Fortunately, it was not too late for Ningxi to enter the palace. She probably liked Ningxi. Knowing that the Chen family had this wonderful man, the Queen Mother also lost a lot of her anger towards the Chen family.
The Chen family relied on their hard work and achievements to make any demands on the emperor. Even though the emperor did not come from her belly, she still cherished him since childhood. This was one of the reasons why the queen mother did not like the queen. Moreover, One of them is that the Queen seems to be a spiritual person, but in fact she is extremely stupid when she does things. If the good things she did were revealed, it would really take days to finish!
Therefore, if you want to ask why the relationship between the Queen Mother and the imperial concubine is so close, the Queen can sometimes help!
