He didn't pay much attention just now, but Yi Guiren realized that Ning Yuzhen's appearance was so outstanding.
Maybe it's because the old people in the dormitory are not bad in appearance, but they are much older than herself. She was the youngest in the harem at twenty-nine years old. Taking advantage of her young age, she was favored for three years. Yiguiren had relaxed for too long. of vigilance.
At this time, seeing Ning Yuzhen, whose skin was more delicate than his own and whose appearance was superior, Yiguiren, who had been relaxing for a long time, finally felt a sense of crisis.
"Ning agrees that this age is the time when you have good looks. If you don't have this good looks, will you have to die alone in the palace in this life?" Yi Guiren said, holding armored hands. Gradually he touched Ning Yuzhen's fair face.
The three maids of Lijingxuan were frightened when they heard this. They all knelt down and begged Mr. Yigui to show mercy.
The armor was sharp, and with just one stroke, Ning Yuzhen had no chance of being favored.
Which emperor would be willing to favor a concubine with a damaged appearance.
Anyway, she has a low status and family background, so no one will care about her even if she dies. Thinking this, Yi Guiren felt more and more feasible that this matter could be done. There was cruelty in his eyes and he raised his hand.
Ning Yuzhen's heart went cold when she saw this. She had no way to escape now, so she could only close her eyes and bear all this.
Just as the armor was about to fall on her face, a eunuch's notification made her escape.
"The Concubine Xian has arrived!"
Hearing this, Yi Guiren quickly retracted his hand and complained that it was not good for Concubine Xian to come at any time, but to come now.
The Queen doesn't often appear in front of people, and Concubine Xian has the power to co-manage the Sixth Palace. It's okay to do these things behind others' backs. Who doesn't know that Concubine Xian is selfless, and even the emperor can be stabbed by her. If Concubine Xian finds out that she is almost If Ning Yuzhen's face is ruined, she will definitely not end well.
"Ning Yisheng is so lively, oh, Yigui people are actually willing to condescend to Ning Yisheng here?" Concubine Xian stepped into the house holding Liuli's hand, the corner of her mouth was raised, but there was no warmth in her eyes.
Everyone saluted the Concubine Xian, even Yi Guiren reluctantly made a very substandard salute.
The smile on Concubine Xian's face became much more real the moment she saw her. She personally stepped forward to help Ning Yuzhen up, turned to Yigui and said, "Ning promised to be acquainted with Ning as soon as he entered the palace. Really? It’s not like your temperament.”
Concubine Xian's words saved face for Yi Guiren, who couldn't refute anything, so he had to swallow his breath.
"Let's go." After she glared at Ning Yuzhen fiercely, she took Xingyu and left aggressively.
As soon as the person left, Ning Yuzhen immediately lost her strength. If Yicui and Lianxiang hadn't stepped forward to help her in time, she would have almost collapsed in front of Concubine Xian.
"If you, little Anzi, hadn't been clever enough to come to Xianfu Palace to find me, you would have been unable to save your face.
Yigui is favored, and as long as it is not harmful to the world, the emperor is willing to help him carry it out. Ning agrees that he has just entered the palace and has not even seen the emperor's face, so it is better to stay away. "
After entering the palace for just half a day, Ning Yuzhen got used to seeing the warmth and coldness in the palace.
Eunuch Chen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs secretly mocked her, but it was just a few innocuous words. If Yi Guiren had really scratched her face just now, it would be something that would ruin her livelihood.
Ning Yuzhen let go of Yicui and Lianxiang's hands and knelt down towards Concubine Xian, "Thank you, Concubine Xian, for saving me. I really...have nothing to repay."
With her movement, Li Jingxuan and others all knelt down.
"Get up." Concubine Xian sighed softly, "Didn't Zizhong convey my words to you when he came in the morning?"
Ning Yuzhen recalled what Eunuch Zizhong said in the morning. At that time, she was still wondering what the virtuous concubine meant. Now that she mentioned it again, could it be... that she wanted to win over her?
"Of course Eunuch Zizhong said what he said, but the incident happened suddenly and he didn't react at the moment."
Ning Yuzhen did not dare to form a clique as soon as she entered the palace, and she was not sure whether Concubine Xian really meant this, so she had no choice but to make a joke and divert the matter.
Of course Concubine Xian saw what she meant, she smiled nonchalantly and said, "Nothing, Ning promised to be frightened, have a good rest today, I will leave first."
"Farewell to the virtuous concubine."
After sending Concubine Xian away, Yicui quickly helped Ning Yuzhen sit down on the couch, and found a soft pillow to put behind her.
Ning Yuzhen ordered: "Qilan, take some silver and reward it to Xiao Anzi."
Qilan followed the order and went out. Lianxiang stood aside and couldn't help but mutter, "Yi Gui is a bit too bully. Fortunately, Concubine Xian came in time, otherwise the young master would have lost such a beautiful face."
No matter how soft her voice was, Yicui still heard her. After glaring at her, she reprimanded: "My lord, it is your turn to arrange the arrangements. Just leave these words to Li Jingxuan. If others listen, do you want to Are you going to let me get in trouble for you?"
Lian Xiang had a quick temper and loved to talk and laugh, but she was most afraid of Yi Cui's cold face. After being scolded like this, she turned to Ning Yuzhen with her lips flat.
Ning Yuzhen closed her eyes and rubbed her swollen temples. Today's experience was really tiring both physically and mentally.
But more importantly, there is still a sense of powerlessness.
The enemy's sister was right in front of her, but because of the difference in status, she was pinned to the ground and felt helpless.
Ning Yuzhen suddenly felt a determination in her heart to take away all the love from Yigui.
Everything had to be considered in the long term, she leaned on the soft pillow and thought carefully.
Yicui has been waiting for the concubine since she was just a noble. She has seen a lot of the quarrels in the harem and said with relief: "It's lucky that everything is fine. My master was frightened today. Don't think too much. It's better to be good." It’s important to rest.”
Ning Yuzhen nodded, and Yicui took off her clothes, put aside all the troubles in her heart, and went to bed.
Yicui told the three of them to do whatever they should, while she stayed outside and waited for her master to wake up.
This sleep made Ning Yuzhen feel drowsy. When she woke up, it was already dark outside the window, and the palace lanterns were on in the corridor.
"Yicui, what time is it?"
Yi Cui, who was waiting outside, heard the sound and walked around the screen into the inner room. She stepped forward to help Ning Yuzhen up and leaned against the bedside, "My little master, it's time."
After a pause, he continued: "Just now, the father-in-law from the Jingshi Room came to report that the emperor did not turn over the cards at night, and even spent the dinner at Yiguiren's."
Ning Yuzhen nodded slightly and murmured for a while that Yigui was really favored.
On the first night after entering the palace, the emperor should have turned over the green cards of the beautiful women, but the emperor still went to Yiguiren's house. He was just slapping other beautiful women in the face and letting the ministers outside know that there would be trouble in the court tomorrow morning. Non-stop.
Ning Yuzhen suddenly couldn't tell whether the emperor was favoring the noble lady or harming her.
If it was the latter... she simply didn't dare to think about it any further.
This deep palace is not only deep in the palace, but also in the human heart.
"My young master, please have dinner first and then go to bed. You have to go to pay your respects to the Queen tomorrow."
Ning Yuzhen sighed, got up, had dinner, took a walk to eat, washed up, and then fell asleep again.
