Ning Huaxi lived very comfortably in the palace. Mrs. Chen was living quite happily these days without her daughter-in-law fighting against her. She secretly prayed that she would come out of the palace and return to the desolate place in the northwest. .
It's a pity that if his wish could be fulfilled, Ning Huaxi would not run all the way back to the capital. Not to mention where she has been in these two days, she has not yet fulfilled her filial piety in front of her biological father and mother in the extra months since she came back at the beginning of the year.
After staying in the palace for a few days, Ning Huaxi went directly back to her parents' home. When she returned to her parents' home, she rarely got scolded by her own parents. For so many years, everyone knew that she was the only daughter in the family and was very favored. However, this was not the case. , it was her brothers who doted on her, not her parents!
Regarding her biological father's life experience, Ningxi felt a wave of emotion in her heart after hearing about it.
It would be okay if it was simply a simple exchange of father and mother, but how was the father hidden? My father is the posthumous son of my grandfather. When the Chen family was excluded, only the late emperor remained. What about the insiders of the Chen family who followed grandfather? Where did they go?
Could it be that the late emperor had long since settled that the Chen family would not be good to his father? At that time, the late emperor could have known it and told his father with affection and the attitude of a superior person, saying that the parents who had raised him for many years were not his biological father, but that his biological father was Wan Wan. A respected general.
Brothers who share the same breast are treated differently by their mother. How could the young man not compare? Mrs. Chen was a big assist in this incident.
At that time, he had not yet become a general. He no longer resented his parents for being indifferent to him, and had no reason to complain. He was afraid that he only wanted to escape from the Chen family who could not tolerate his biological mother. The late emperor happened to extend his olive branch to win over a Chen family member who was willing to work hard for him.
With the development of our dynasty for a hundred years, the Chen family's position in Beijing has long been deeply rooted, with luxuriant branches and luxuriant branches, and the power of the family is unshakable.
Ning Xi thought about the links in the middle. The wisdom of the superiors was beyond what ordinary people like us could imagine. Their plan was already laid out when the child was just taking shape.
Simply speaking, Dad lived up to his expectations. When the first emperor grew old, his hussar generals were just about ready to be used. The first emperor used calculations to secure a reliable chess piece for his son.
Every move in a game of chess is made carefully. So, does Dad really not understand the game, or is Dad willing to jump in?
Ningxi closed her eyes and leaned on the bed, thinking about her father. In the eyes of the courtiers and officials, he was an extremely vulgar military general. His words were not as good as those of the civil servants and would always be mixed with vulgar words; in the eyes of his soldiers, he was He is a good leader who is henpecked and loves his wife. In the era of male supremacy, he did not shy away from admitting that he was henpecked.
But in Ningxi's opinion, her father was a brave, resourceful and wise man. Ningxi adjusted the chessboard a few times, and there was no doubt that she would always end up in a dead end with herself recently. She sighed, her father must have known about it but was willing to jump in.
The Chen family is about to change. Ning Xi understands why Xiao Chengyan left at this time. The collapse of the Chen family, which has a profound foundation, did not happen overnight. The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by ant nests. What's more, the current Chen family is basically on the bottom.
Apart from himself, there is only the third uncle in my father's generation.
——Zhongtang Palace——
Ningxi didn't know that Concubine Liu Shu had entered the realm of Buddhism. Her habit of copying scriptures was left behind by the old man in her previous life who punished her for not being serious. Every time she copied, she felt at peace in her heart. Knowing this effect, Ningxi was no longer just being punished for doing wrong things. Only if you are punished can you copy. Sometimes when I can't figure things out or encounter something bad, I will copy it quietly for peace of mind.
I happened to meet Concubine Liu Shu last time, and I also knew that Concubine Liu Shu was studying Buddhism in the palace recently.
Let go and slowly discover that everyone in this world is originally separated, but some people think that isolation is not the key to the problem of obstruction. There will be strange episodes and misunderstandings in a close blood relationship, let alone two people who have nothing to do with each other.
Liu Yingxue has been greatly inspired by her recent study of Buddhist scriptures. Previously, she planned to learn from Concubine Ning to copy Buddhist scriptures to stabilize her mind. She didn't expect that she actually had this ability to comprehend. Liu Yingxue suddenly doubted that she was destined to have a relationship with Buddha~
Concubine Shu, who has always been a reclusive person, is now even more reluctant to leave the palace. Basically, no one saw her coming out except those who went to greet her on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.
I thought it was strange that there was Concubine Ning in the harem who didn't like to go out to socialize, but I didn't know that since Concubine Liu Shu and Concubine Ning got close, even Concubine Liu Shu didn't like to go out.
Everyone disagreed, but they thought that Concubine Ning had always been favored, and Concubine Liu Shu was like this. Could this be some new way of inviting favors?
Liu Yingxue did not expect that she would be able to find a few people who came to visit her while staying in her palace all day long. However, Liu Yingxue knew their thoughts very well, not to mention that she didn't care about favor at all. She needs the emperor's pity and she has more capital than these few people in front of her.
In the afternoon, Ningxi sent the prepared sour plum powder to Zhongtang Palace. Liu Yingxue found the person to complain about, and pulled her to prevent her from leaving.
"I feel sick when I see them. None of them care about their own virtues. They come to my Zhongtang Palace all day long to show off. The emperor is blind if he can take a fancy to them."
Ning Xi laughed at this. Indeed, there were several people in the harem who were not very beautiful. I don’t know what blinded Xiao Chengyan’s eyes when he was choosing his concubines. Those who he chose were all personally declared beauties. It's definitely not a joke!
"What did the Emperor think when he selected his concubines? There must be something wrong with his eyes. They were chosen to be really ugly and distinctive?"
As soon as Concubine Liu Shu said these words, the entire palace fell silent for an instant.
Although Lingxin likes her master to get along with Concubine Ning, the master doesn't know what the problem is lately. When he catches Concubine Ning, he always has no way of talking about it. He can really say anything, and it's a shame that Concubine Ning is around her. You guys don't talk nonsense, otherwise the master's head can't be saved.
Liu Yingxue saw the embarrassment of several people, and also realized that her words were thoughtless. Somehow, she felt that Ningxi was back to the mood she had when she was still in the boudoir, carefree and not caring about anything. a feeling.
Ning Xi spoke up to break the embarrassment, "Sister Shu Fei, don't worry, these two girls are the last ones to talk nonsense."
"Of course I can trust my sister." Liu Yingxue pursed her lips and smiled, a look of trust shining in her brows.
The gap between the two becomes thinner and thinner as they get along with each other carefully.
Ning Xi and Liu Yingxue got closer, the friendship between women, spending money on shopping to complain about men, the two of them undoubtedly had the same thing in common: they loved to complain about Xiao Chengyan, and this conversation actually added to the relationship between the two.
Xiao Chengyan, who was still outside the palace, never expected that one day he would become an additive in the friendship between women. Isn't it said that women in the harem always compete for favor and jealousy, and these two are definitely special cases.
Xiao Chengyan, who sneezed several times in succession, looked at the person in front of him. He had not received a letter from Wan Dequan for nearly ten days. The girl persisted for a long time before she stopped writing.
