Rong Ting's voice could not be any weaker.
If the sound of the breath were any lower, even Huai Qing, who was closest to him, would not be able to hear it.
Mr. Yan was turning around from the north window with annoyed expression on his face.
Huai Qing heard Rong Ting say, "I didn't hear what you said just now."
Huai Qing: "?"
Did you answer all the questions
"Mr.'s study is a clean place. If there are important matters, we will talk about them after we go out."
Rong Ting whispered, although Huai Qing was puzzled, he answered "Yes".
Although Yan Nanxun had a lot of eccentric tempers, except for schoolwork, he was extremely tolerant to the students, and waved his sleeves and said, "No, since it's an important matter, let's talk about it here."
He sat back on the chair with a flick of his sleeves, took a sip of tea, and cleared his throat.
Just now he just yelled at the bottom of the window, Huai Qing and Rong Ting talked and said something, he didn't hear clearly, he didn't look behind his back, he didn't see their conversation.
Yan Nanxun put down the teacup, looked at Huai Qing, "What's the matter?"
Rong Ting also raised his eyes and looked at Huai Qing.
Similar to Yan Nanxun's expression, waiting to hear.
Only Qing Lingling's eyes seemed to contain some kind of hint.
Huai Qing: "..."
If Rong Ting hadn't really answered his words just now, he could really think that Rong Ting didn't hear him.
He still couldn't figure it out.
But although he couldn't figure it out, he repeated the last sentence he said just now, "Your Highness, you are the only one in the academy, and you have not received the invitation from Uncle Ning'an."
Rong Ting, as if he knew this for the first time, had a faint sad look on his face.
Yan Nanxun frowned, "What's going on?"
He looked at his own invitation on the table.
He will definitely go to the birthday banquet, and he will bring two gifts.
One is for the old lady who passed her birthday, and the other is a congratulatory gift for Jiang Xingzhou's return to Beijing.
He had thought about the congratulatory gift for Jiang Xingzhou a long time ago.
A high-quality wolf hair brush in small script with flower and bird patterns, a unparalleled wolf hair brush in the world.
He has treasured it for a long time, and it is just right to give it to Jiang Xingzhou——
It just satirizes him with a good brush, but he can't make good calligraphy and paintings.
Very happy.
Rong Ting lowered his head, his eyes looked helpless, "Jiang Fourth Master has never liked me very much."
Huai Qing behind her was a little strange.
If His Royal Highness wants to show that his relationship with the Jiang family is very important, shouldn't he show others that he has a good relationship with the Jiang family
Yan Nanxun also felt strange, "It was Jiang Xingzhou who wrote the recommendation letter back then, recommending you to me, it shouldn't be..."
"However." He frowned as if remembering something, "He didn't praise you very much in the letter."
"Fourth master always thinks that I'm not good."
"What's wrong with my disciple?" As Jiang Xingzhou's enemy, Yan Nanxun instinctively wanted to argue with Fourth Master Jiang, "Senior Jiang is full of nonsense."
Rong Ting lowered his eyebrows, "It should be something wrong with my disciple that made fourth master dissatisfied with me."
He took all the faults on himself.
There was an unbearable sadness in his eyes, his thoughts could be seen on his face at a glance, there seemed to be a clear spring in his eyes, and all his thoughts could be clearly seen.
As good as hell.
Yan Nanxun glanced at him, "Want to go?"
Rong Ting seemed to want to say but dared not, with a troubled expression on his face.
Yan Nanxun couldn't help being kind.
It was the first time for him to teach such a young student, and he was a little tolerant unconsciously. He thought to himself that Rong Ting was frightened by the way he taught Yu Yinxue just now, so he dared not say it.
It's just that a child is innocent, and his thoughts are written on his face, so that others can see through it at a glance.
I don't feel pity in my heart.
"Since you have read the history books that you will learn in the past half month by heart, it's okay to go to the birthday banquet."
"But I don't have an invitation card. Every time Fourth Master Jiang sees me, he will definitely be unhappy. I went hastily..." Rong Ting acted obediently and understandingly, "I don't want to offend Fourth Master."
Can Jiang Xingzhou be upset
Yan Nanxun subconsciously blurted out, "Why don't you provoke me?"
Yan Nanxun had an idea, and said, "On the day of the birthday banquet, I will take you in. Give Jiang Laosi some gifts."
He smiled, as if he was very satisfied with this decision, "Add some trouble."
Rong Ting was stunned, "Sir, this is not very good..."
"You're just too sensible."
Yan Nanxun was afraid that he would not want to go, so he issued a death order, "No matter what, on the day of the birthday banquet, you must go with your teacher."
…
Huai Qing finally figured it out.
The superficial discord between Yan Nanxun and Jiang Xingzhou was well known throughout Jinling.
His Highness the Ninth Highness took advantage of this...
Yan Nanxun has such a big face, no one would dare to stop the guests he brings.
Look at Rong Ting again.
His Highness Ninth Prince had a worried look in his eyes.
But he nodded slowly, "Everything is up to Mr.
It seems that the teacher's order is hard to disobey, I have to obey, and I am forced to be helpless.
Seriously, out of the mud but not stained.
…
Jiang Rao was called into the palace by Concubine Yun Gui today, and now she will feed the fish by the pond with her.
"It's your grandmother's birthday. It's inconvenient for me to go out of the palace. I'll give you the birthday gift in a while. When the time comes, you can help me give it to your grandmother to celebrate her birthday."
Concubine Yun Gui stood leisurely by the pond, leaning on the railing, throwing fish food, teasing the red and green carps in the pond, and said, "It's a pair of tassel hairpins, worn by a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. It looks best when worn."
"Thirteen or fourteen... my grandmother..."
"I know it's your grandmother's birthday." Concubine Yun raised her eyebrows lazily, "But this gift I gave is for her on the surface, but it's actually for you."
"Your grandmother is a step-mother, and she doesn't favor your family. Why should I give her something useful. Giving her a pair of tassel hairpins, and doing all the superficial skills in front of outsiders, is already giving her a lot of face. .”
Concubine Yun Gui snorted, "If she doesn't understand what I mean, she doesn't give you this hairpin as a reward, but keeps it for herself, or rewards someone else. I don't even give her any face."
"Speaking of which, the old uncle asked his cousin to take charge of Zhongfu, so the woman in the big room must be so angry?"
Concubine Yun raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I heard that the woman is currently distributing rice in the temple in the mountain to provide disaster relief, right? Her life is as miserable as that of the aunt who lost her hair. If it weren't for the fact that I am staying in the palace now, it is not easy to leave the palace. I really want to take advantage of it." This is an opportunity to go to the temple to burn incense and see the excitement."
"My aunt just likes to watch the fun."
Concubine Yun squinted at her, "There's excitement, don't watch it for nothing. Although I can't leave the palace, you and your mother can go and see it, right?"
"I can't go." Jiang Rao shook his head.
Let's not say that her mother is no better than my aunt, she has a kind of pampering that does not care about the consequences and only cares about her own happiness.
"The Zhongfu suddenly fell into my mother's hands, and she has been so busy this month." Jiang Rao threw away the fish food in her hand, and then took a new one from the hand of the young maid, "I will deal with the birthday banquet." I have to help her, I don’t have the time to go to the temple to offer incense.”
"You know how to help your mother, you are a good boy." Concubine Yun Gui glanced at Jiang Rao with a smile, and the more she looked, the happier she was, "Maybe, in the end, Ning An Bo's mansion will still fall on your father's head. And my cousin is too busy."
"My dad definitely doesn't want to."
Concubine Yun Gui was about to say something when a group of people walked over from the pond.
It was Empress Jiahe, surrounded by maids of honor, walking this way.
She said in a pretty voice: "Concubine Yun is leisurely and carefree, here to watch fish."
Concubine Yun Gui had always disliked Empress Jiahe's face, her face collapsed, and she reluctantly pulled Jiang Rao, and in accordance with the palace rules, bowed to Empress Jiahe.
The few times before Jiang Rao was in the palace, only at the palace banquet, she saw Jiahe Empress from a distance, and today was the first time she was so close to her.
Seeing this woman with a soft mouth and a snake heart smiling like a spring breeze in front of her, she just panicked in her heart. Thinking of the viciousness of this woman's methods and the hardships Rong Ting had suffered, she felt inexplicably suffocated.
Empress Jiahe looked at Jiang Rao for a long time, and then slowly opened her mouth, "Concubine Yun, is this your little niece? Look at this exquisite figure, she is really beautiful."
There is some pantothenic acid in my heart.
It's all reincarnation, so why do some people have so much better appearance than others
Qin Yun was, and so was her niece.
Deceptively good color.
When the time comes, it will be easy to marry into a good family, and it will become the help of Qin and Jiang's family.
"Is this Miss Jiang Si from Ning'anbo Mansion?" She asked again.
Concubine Yun looked at Empress Jiahe vigilantly, and felt that she seemed to have something to say, so she gently pulled Jiang Rao behind her, "Yes."
"Sure enough, the little girl has a good figure, but just by her manner... I know I haven't stayed in Jinling for a long time." Empress Jiahe told Concubine Yun in a gentle and teaching tone, "Since Concubine Yun is good at feeding fish, why not Teach her more."
Being picky about her demeanor by the empress of a country, if this word spreads, I am afraid that it will make other noble ladies in Jinling laugh.
If it is embellished and spread for a long time, the marriage may be delayed.
Concubine Yun said "huh", "My niece's demeanor was taught by her aunt Qin Qingshan. Back then, I was also taught by my cousin Qingshan. Do you feel dissatisfied with the empress?"
"The demeanor of this palace is so dignified that even the emperor says it is unique in the palace. Why, is the empress trying to find fault with the emperor?"
Of course Empress Jiahe couldn't accept being picky about Emperor Zhaowu's vision.
"Is it the empress who was dazzled just now?" Concubine Yun said with an attitude of not wanting to ask for an explanation, "Look carefully, is there something wrong with my niece's demeanor?"
Seeing that Jia and the empress had stopped talking, she said disdainfully: "The empress can't tell, otherwise, why don't I invite the emperor to judge?"
Jia and Empress are just picking bones in the eggs.
Even if Jiang Rao is not in Jinling, but with the Jiang Qin family teaching her, she can't fault her demeanor.
Traveling around again, seeing different scenery, there is a rare transparency and clarity in the eyes, just put a little red makeup on the delicate face, and people can't take their eyes off.
Hearing that Concubine Yun wanted to invite Emperor Zhaowu, Empress Jiahe flinched a little.
Other concubines may not have the ability to invite Emperor Zhaowu as soon as they are invited, but Qin Yun is different!
She could only grit her teeth, admit her mistake, and said, "It's Ben Gong who made a mistake."
Concubine Yun Gui was slightly satisfied.
However, it was too early for her to give up.
Just now Concubine Yun Gui was just a beauty who was quiet enough to feed and feed fish. Now, she was full of arrogance, with bright red lips and cold eyes. "Then look carefully, is she just beautiful?"
"It's extremely beautiful." Concubine Yun said with a smile, "Better than when I was young."
"Oh, I forgot." Yun Guifei paused, and suddenly smiled even more coquettishly, "I am still young in front of the empress, how could I say what I just said, you are not happy, madam."
Pretending to blame herself, she shrank her head pretentiously, "Your Majesty won't punish my sister, will you?"
How dare Empress Jiahe punish her.
After punishing her, she will definitely blow the wind beside Emperor Zhaowu's bed again, and get back every little bit of wronged she has suffered.
She didn't know how many times she suffered such a loss.
Empress Jiahe was enraged by her short words, but she couldn't bear it. She smiled lightly, pinched her palms, and swallowed her hatred, "Concubine Yun's unintentional mistakes are nothing. That kind of unreasonable person."
"The Empress is really generous." Concubine Yun squinted her eyes and smiled.
Just as Empress Jiahe was staring at Jiang Rao just now, she just stared at Empress Jiahe so tightly, swept Jiahe Empress up and down, and then pursed her lips and smiled, and praised: "Empress Empress, you are so blue The clothes are really nice."
Empress Jiahe was a little smug, and her smile deepened, "It's the fabric that the emperor rewarded, and the clothes are made by the most skilled tailors in the palace, so they are naturally beautiful."
Concubine Yun nodded frequently, not at all as Empress Jiahe expected, with envy and jealousy in her eyes.
On the contrary, because of the deepening smile on the queen's face, she could see that the queen cared about her appearance.
She hooked her lips and gave a smirk.
Since Jiahe Empress cared, she knew what to say.
"That's right, the court lady who made the clothes is skillful, and the clothes she made can just cover up the shortcomings of your figure. The emperor also has a good eye, and the color of the material is sober, which is most suitable for your age."
Empress Jiahe: "..."
She said how could it be possible for Qin Yun to spit out good words.
This is mocking her for being in poor shape and getting old!
The smile on Empress Jiahe's face faded and she looked at Concubine Yun Gui.
Concubine Yun Gui raised her chin slightly without any fear.
Let her face, which can easily overwhelm the harem, be fully revealed in front of Empress Jiahe.
She has a charming smile, looks pretentious and aggressive, and has a face of "what can you do to me".
Empress Jiahe stroked her heart.
Having only been by Concubine Yun Gui's side for a moment, she couldn't suppress her temper.
Originally, he wanted to get some words from Concubine Yun Gui, but now he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be pissed off.
Empress Jiahe's voice was slightly cold, "I have to go back to take care of the affairs of the harem, so I won't be here. I will accompany you to enjoy the flowers and feed the fish."
Concubine Yun knew immediately that Empress Jiahe wanted to show off to her the power to control the harem, she had it, she didn't.
A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org
But she doesn't care about those.
It would be nice to be an idle, self-willed and savage concubine, do what you want to do, say what you want to say.
She blinked her eyes, stared at Empress Jiahe's back, and sighed sadly, "Empress Empress, listen to my sister's persuasion, you have worked so hard for the entire harem, you need to take care of it even more, look at your back, your hair has grown. "
"It's not like me. I don't have anything to worry about every day. I spend a lot of time admiring flowers and feeding fish. I'm in a good mood. I don't grow old. The emperor still treats me like a young and ignorant girl, so annoying. .”
The voice sounded extremely sincere, and Empress Jiahe slipped on the soles of her feet and almost fell.
Cursed in my heart: shameless!
Then came another soft sentence from behind, "Empress Empress, please pay attention to your demeanor."
Empress Jiahe couldn't speak in embarrassment, raised her hand wearing a pointed gold finger guard, stroked the hair on the back of her head, and walked away with slightly messy steps.
After the empress left, Concubine Yun Gui was overjoyed, "If you want to be dignified and virtuous, you can't lose your temper. Sooner or later, you will be mad at yourself."
However, seeing Jiang Rao frowning slightly, Concubine Yun asked worriedly, "Niannian thinks my aunt is a bit rude?"
Jiang Rao shook her head, "No."
Her aunt's daring and unscrupulous behavior all depended on someone protecting her behind her. Since it wouldn't endanger her life, she could embarrass the queen just now...
Jiang Rao lowered her eyes, her heart was also refreshed.
It was as if she was letting out a sigh of relief for the child hiding behind the tree she saw in her dream, the boy with many scars on his body when he grew up.
Just, not enough.
She looked at the direction Jia and the queen were leaving, with a slightly sad look on her brows, "Why did the empress come here on purpose?"
Concubine Yun Gui threw a handful of fish food into the pond, raised her mouth, "I'm just asking for trouble."
Jiang Rao frowned, recalling how Jia and Empress looked at her just now, but felt something was wrong.
Her aunt said to her face that she was still able to maintain a decent smile, and she didn't show any tantrums. A woman with such a deep scheming would never come here just to make fun of herself, as her aunt said.
She had a keen intuition in her heart, "Why do I feel...she seems to know something?"
