Ning Yuzhen shook her head. When she saw Ji Yaosheng twice, she didn't look like someone who could make the kind-hearted concubine so angry that she could not speak.
"I didn't have much contact with her in the past. I just bumped into her on the way to Xianfu Palace today, and we walked together for a while. I wanted to talk to her, but she only replied timidly."
"Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered here, I felt like a different person. In her words, she implicitly accused Concubine Xian of using Princess Rongjin to keep the emperor, so that she could wait in Yangxin Palace for a while last night. She didn't want to think about herself. What is her identity? What is the identity of the Concubine Xian? She is still kind-hearted and I don’t blame her."
The more Chen Guiren talked, the angrier he became, as if she was the one being bullied.
Ning Yuzhen was quite surprised. She wondered why Chen Guiren was angrier than Concubine Xian. She was even more curious when Ji promised to become like this. Or was that cowardice just an act?
"After all, I have the highest status besides the Queen. If I argue with a small promise, I will appear to be mean." Concubine Xian comforted her.
Chen Guiren knew that Concubine Xian had her own reasons for not attacking her, so she just called Ajie softly and said nothing more.
This gave Ning Yuzhen the opportunity to speculate on the relationship between the two. Chen Guiren was the eldest concubine of a third-grade Taipu Temple Minister, and Xian Fei was also a concubine. Perhaps she had been cared for by Xian Fei outside the palace, so she was so filled with righteous indignation. .
The three of them chatted for a while, and Concubine Xian asked them to leave on the grounds of physical discomfort.
Ning Yuzhen was not very familiar with Chen Guiren, so they only chatted for a few words this morning. After saying goodbye to her at the door, Ning Yuzhen returned to the Yihexuan, and happened to meet Lian Xiang who had returned from outside. .
Lianxiang came forward, looking mysterious and mysterious, and whispered: "My young master, do you know what I heard about this slave?"
Ning Yuzhen's curiosity was immediately aroused, so she stopped eating her breakfast, put down her chopsticks, and asked, "But what happened at Changxin Palace?"
What she was thinking at this time was that Yigui was infected with an illness or something else.
The best thing is to make the emperor unhappy and be left out in the cold, which saves her from thinking about how to invite favors without annoying the emperor. Then she can live her own life behind closed doors. In short, she doesn't think about Yiguiren's kindness. That’s it.
In the first few days, whenever she closed her eyes, she would see her nephew's bloody legs and his screams.
"When I went to find my sister from the same country, I brought her some money and cakes. She didn't even look at the money, but she wolfed down the cakes. The slave asked her,
The sister said that Yigui had a bad temper in private and often took it out on them, the humblest maids.
She opened her sleeves and showed them to the slave. There were streaks of blue and purple, all drawn with a thin cane. There was no blood but traces left. It was the greatest kindness to not let them eat. When the slave left, the sisters from the same country had been there for a day. No more food. "
The words fell, causing several people to sigh for a while.
Ning Yuzhen sneered in her heart, it was true that one family did not enter the same house, Yigui was just like her brother, both were masters who did not take human life seriously.
"After she finished eating, the slave asked her for information, Mr. Yigui..."
"Pregnant."
As soon as these words came out, even the most taciturn Qilan was shocked: "Seriously?"
Seeing Lian Xiang nodding seriously, Qilan's heart dropped. She turned to meet Ning Yuzhen's gaze with mixed emotions.
Ning Yuzhen also found it incredible. With Yigui's restless temper, could she really hold her breath and make no sound when she was finally pregnant with Long Si?
There seems to be no movement from the emperor in the past two days. Yiguiren even hid this from the emperor?
Then I thought about it, if a noble person is favored, if he gives birth to a child, regardless of whether he is a prince or a princess, he will be promoted to a higher position. If she is a prince, the emperor will be happy and break the ancestral system and give her the position of imperial concubine.
If the prince is smart, he will be given the throne.
In addition, it is difficult to give birth to a child in the palace, so most Yigui people want to wait until March, when the fetus is stable.
Ning Yuzhen's heart suddenly fell into an ice cave. She only had more than two months left. During this time, she could not move the emperor's heart to her. It would be difficult to deal with Yigui in the future.
At that time, it will be people who are fighting for their lives and others who are fighting for their lives.
When she was thinking about what to do next, Lianxiang spoke hesitantly, "Little Master, can I spend some money to buy some food to send to my sisters from the same hometown? I had a good relationship with her when we were still in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and now we see each other. The flesh on her face is gone, the bones are bulging high, and the slave feels sorry for her."
Ning Yuzhen nodded. Such important news deserves some money.
The connection made at this time may be of great use in the future.
She asked Qilan to get the silver and give it to Lianxiang, "You can send it to her, but she failed to keep up with a good master. If she can get you as a caring sister, her life will not be bad."
Lian Xiang was grateful, "I must have a good talk with her, slave. If not for the kindness of the master, would she still be alive?"
"Okay, just forget about your talk alone, but don't bring others down." Ning Yuzhen smiled and waved her hand, "Go ahead, leave early and come back early. I have something else to tell you later."
"Hey, slave, please go and come back."
Lianxiang went to the imperial kitchen to buy some food with money, put it in her arms, and walked all the way to the deserted palace corridor. After going around in a long circle to avoid people, she entered Changxin Palace.
At that time, the sister from the same hometown happened to be sweeping the ground next to the tree. She suddenly saw a figure out of the corner of her eye and almost screamed. Fortunately, she saw the familiar silk flower and knew who it was.
Lianxiang stuck her head out and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she pulled her fellow villagers behind the tree, took out the still-warm cakes from her arms and handed them to them.
"I bought this with the money my mistress gave me. In addition to pastries, there are other long-lasting things in it. If you are hungry, just hide and eat quietly."
The eyes of the fellow villager immediately turned red, and she burst into tears. She was very moved. After entering the palace as a maid, it had been a long time since she had straightened her back and behaved like a human being.
When the Yigui people are in a good mood, they, the lowest palace maids, can still eat two white flour buns. When the Yigui people are in a bad mood, they not only have to kneel down and be beaten by the Yigui people to make them angry, but they also cannot eat.
When she saw Lianxiang today, she was envious from the bottom of her heart. She envied Lianxiang for being with a good master, who had made her fat and healthy, and even the materials of her clothes and the styles of her jewelry were completely different from those in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
If there weren't so many people here, she would really want to kneel down and kowtow twice in the direction of Yi Hexuan to show her gratitude to Ning Changzai.
Lianxiang saw her standing there in a daze, thinking that she still had things to do when she went back, so she was impatient to continue wasting her time here, and directly stuffed the oil paper bag into her arms.
"Fu Rui! Let me tell you, where did the soul go? My master treats you well. You must remember it and don't let my master feel cold."
