"Your Majesty, it's time, and Ji promised to be on his way to the Yangxin Hall."
When Ning Yuzhen saw this, she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, go quickly, don't miss the time."
"The concubine next to me wishes that I wouldn't go, so why are you still pushing me to go?"
Wei Cheng asked deliberately, wanting to see her reaction.
"Of course the concubine doesn't want the emperor to leave." Ning Yuzhen said frankly: "But the concubine can't keep the emperor by her side, right? Ji promised to sleep with the emperor for the first time today, so I'm afraid she is worried."
Wei Cheng felt more relieved, thinking that Ning Changzai was really following his heart. He was more sensible and had fewer embarrassing things.
He patted Ning Yuzhen's hand and promised to come see her tomorrow, but he did not let her get out of bed to salute, got up and left Yihexuan.
As soon as Wei Cheng left, the smile on Ning Yuzhen's face faded a bit, and the two people outside came in together.
Lianxiang stuffed Mrs. Tang into the brocade quilt and said, "My lord, why didn't you let the emperor stay just now? My servants looked at it. The emperor smiled a lot when he was getting along with my lord."
"Why, have you ever seen the emperor get along with other masters?" Yi Cui choked.
"The emperor will not stay." Ning Yuzhen held Mrs. Tang in her arms, "Ji promised that her father had done great work in disaster relief. She will definitely stay with him tonight. There is no way that the emperor will offend the hero for me."
Ning Yuzhen raised her eyes and looked at an almost withered osmanthus flower placed by the window sill. She was thinking a lot about being generous once or twice. If you want to survive in the harem, being generous blindly is not feasible. Once you come, you must return. .
But it was useless to keep the emperor today. It was a great blessing to be able to see the emperor despite his illness. If she still wanted to sleep with him, she really felt that she could not be drowned by the saliva of the courtiers outside.
Qilan silently stepped forward and tucked the corner of her quilt, "My young master is still sick, don't think too much about it."
Ning Yuzhen nodded and got into the brocade quilt.
Lianxiang was on duty tonight. She blew out the candles, leaving only one, and lay down on the couch outside.
Ning Yuzhen was about to sleep peacefully when she suddenly remembered someone. Yigui people didn't come to make things difficult for her today. The sun really came out in the west. This didn't seem like Yigui people. Could it be that something happened that she didn't know about?
She called Lianxiang to the outside and ordered through the screen: "Do you know anyone in Changxin Palace?"
Lianxiang thought for a while and replied: "I have a fellow sister in Changxin Palace. She is a second-class palace maid. She can occasionally speak a few words."
"Go and find out what happened in Changxin Palace tomorrow."
"Yes, little master."
With a worry settled, Ning Yuzhen could finally sleep peacefully.
That night, the house was peaceful and peaceful, but outside the house there was a strong wind, the temperature dropped sharply, and winter seemed to be coming quietly.
While Ning Yuzhen was half asleep and half awake, she vaguely felt that someone had put an extra quilt on her. Due to the effect of the medicinal soup, she could not open her eyes.
It was only when I dreamed that I realized it was not a dream until I woke up.
The sky was about to get a little brighter, and Ning Yuzhen was shivered by the cold air as soon as she stood up, and hurriedly got back.
Lian Xiang, who heard the commotion, came in and said, "It's still early, why is the young master up? Why don't you sleep a little longer."
"I can't sleep anymore, so I might as well get up early." Ning Yuzhen shook her head and called Lianxiang to get some clothes. "Did you come in to cover me with the quilt last night? I thought it was just a dream."
Lianxiang looked confused, then suddenly realized, "It's not the slave, it's Qilan. She heard the wind blowing outside in the middle of the night. She was afraid that the little master would catch a cold at night, so she came over to cover her. The slave heard the noise and woke up and saw a black figure, almost Scared to death."
Ning Yuzhen raised her hand to let Lianxiang change her clothes. She kept this in mind and prepared to give Qilan a reward later in the afternoon.
After putting on clothes and going outside, it was not yet time for breakfast. On the twenty-eighth day of Gu month, it was already cold, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to provide charcoal fires to each palace.
Yicui took Qilan and Xiao Anzi to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get charcoal fire.
Ning Yuzhen opened a window and looked outside, but there was no trace of sunlight. The whole sky was dark, and suddenly a cold wind blew in her face. She was about to close it when she heard an eunuch announcing the arrival of an imperial edict from outside.
"Lianxiang, go and see what's going on outside?"
Lianxiang took the order, and soon came back against the cold wind, "My lord, it is the eldest princess who has received the title, and the father-in-law is here to announce the decree."
"This is a good thing. Yicui will be back soon." Ning Yuzhen said with a smile: "When Yicui comes back, let her watch and prepare the congratulatory gifts. It won't be too late for us to congratulate Concubine Xian first and then come back for breakfast. .”
As soon as the words came out, Yi Cui came back.
"Aunt Yicui, the eldest princess has been given the title. My master asked you to prepare a backup of the congratulatory gifts and go to Concubine Xian to congratulate her."
"Hey, let's go right away."
When Ning Yuzhen finished packing and went to the main hall, the maids outside were busy organizing the things sent by the palaces into the warehouse. Yicui went to the maids' side with the congratulatory gifts. Ning Yuzhen went first, and Ji Yaoying was already sitting inside. and Chen Guiren.
"Concubine, please pay your respects to Concubine Xian and Noble Chen."
Concubine Xian was worried about how to ease the tense atmosphere when she saw Ning Yuzhen coming and said quickly: "Get up quickly. Ning often wakes up so early. I heard that you were sick yesterday? Are you feeling better today?"
"Thanks to your concubine, I'm doing much better." Ning Yuzhen nodded to Ji Yasheng as a greeting and sat down on the round stool next to Ji Yasheng.
The corners of Concubine Xian's lips raised slightly, and her smile was much more real. "Just be nice. I wanted to go see you today, but I didn't expect you to come first."
"Ning Changzai is really a wonderful person. As soon as you come, Concubine Xian will no longer agree with me and Ji in her eyes."
Chen Guiren's joking words were just right and not annoying.
Ning Yuzhen was about to reply when she felt a vague gaze staring at her beside her. She guessed that it was Ji who had agreed and was probably just curious about herself, so she didn't take it to heart.
"You girl, you only talked to Ning Chang for a few words, and you are jealous?" Concubine Xian scolded with a smile, and even reached out and tapped Chen Guiren's forehead. The relationship seemed to be particularly close.
The two of them laughed and talked, and even asked Ning Yuzhen to say a few words. Only Ji agreed and never said a word. He just sat there. If he didn't turn around to look, he couldn't be sure if there was anyone sitting next to him. .
Ning Yuzhen also noticed that the two of them were not too happy to see Ji Yaobao. She thought it was something that happened before she came. No wonder the expressions on the faces of the three of them were weird in their own way when they walked in.
Xu Shi had been ignored for too long, and Ji Yaosheng finally couldn't sit down anymore, so he stood up and left while the three of them were drinking tea.
Concubine Xian finally gave her some thin noodles and asked Su Ying to send him out.
Ning Yuzhen felt strange in her heart, but didn't feel comfortable asking. Thinking of the reason for coming, she smiled and said, "I haven't congratulated you yet."
The man at the top waved his hand and said nothing.
On the other hand, Chen Guiren, who was on the side, was more outgoing. She spat fiercely, "The best days were ruined by Na Ji."
"When you were here just now, do you know what that person said?"
