Ning Xueyan just left, Lan Ning was worried and went to see it, just met King Yi's support team, hurriedly avoided and knelt beside the road, and then found out that His Royal Highness Yi King came down, knowing that most of the monks in Hanshan Temple I went to greet him, and I didn't have time to take care of the trivial matter of a certain guest's illness.
"I'll go over to see if Master Mingyue is there in a while. If he is, let him come over and take a look for you. Don't rush to pray for me and take care of yourself. In a few days, Concubine Yagui Come to the temple to appreciate chrysanthemums, hold a grand chrysanthemum appreciation event, the eldest girl is already married, and the fourth girl is not qualified enough, only you and the second girl can enter the chrysanthemum appreciation event, no matter what happens, you have to take care of yourself before the event."
Concubine Yagui is coming to Hanshan Temple, so the temple is like this.
Those wives and ladies all came here to offer incense, and it turned out that it was because of this incident, but what happened to King Yi and the third prince, the third prince can certainly say that he came to accompany his mother, but what about King Yi? He doesn't seem to be a good-tempered person who would like to accompany any noble concubine to enjoy any flowers.
While Ning Xueyan was thinking, her face did not show. She raised her frail head and nodded vigorously. Although she was half supported by Lan Ning, she was still on the verge of falling: "Grandmother, Yan'er is not in good health, let the second sister alone Let's go!"
She is not interested in the flower viewing party at all, what she prefers is the news that Concubine Ya Gui is coming out, that at least means that that person will follow.
"You are the fifth daughter of the Huguohou Mansion, how can you say such dishonorable words, well, I will have someone come to see you in a while, and I will send you medicine, you have a good rest, there are still a few days, you have to Take good care of your body." Mrs. Tai was not happy, there was a flash of displeasure in her eyes, she stood up and went out, and at the same time told the maid to get some good medicinal materials from her, and she must use them well for the fifth girl medicine.
Seeing Mrs. Tai leave, a large group of people suddenly left, Ning Xueyan closed her eyes slightly, leaned against Lan Ning's arms, took a few breaths, and gently pushed her: "Go, go outside Find out why those ladies came here!"
Ning Xueyan didn’t think it would disturb Mrs. Tai just because of the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet held by Concubine Yagui. In the past, Concubine Yagui held a grand chrysanthemum appreciation party, but she had never seen Mrs. Tai participate in it. Ning Lingyun’s status is not enough. No need for any identity!
It is not difficult to inquire about the news. Those wives who came to Hanshan Temple brought their own daughters. It is said that this time Concubine Yagui is clearly here to appreciate chrysanthemums, but in fact she is helping several old princes and princes of the county to see each other. It is appropriate to give marriages directly, because these few people have noble identities, and they chose the right wives, so the ones who come are all the daughters of the powerful family.
Apart from Ning Yuling, the second daughter of the Ling family, the only daughters of the Huguohou's Mansion are Ning Xueyan, Mrs. Yitai's thoughts, how can she not think about the law, and send the two of them here to be selected, and if they can enter In the royal family, in the eyes of Mrs. Tai, it is the wealth of the sky, so all the good medicinal materials will be given to herself.
Looking at the table full of tonics, Ning Xueyan supported Lan Ning's hand to sit up, squinted at the medicinal materials on the table, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes! Ling's family is still injured now, so it's inconvenient. My own grandmother can't sit still, and when she heard that Concubine Yagui was going to choose concubines for the princes, she came over in person.
The second girl, Ning Yuling, is coming too!
She will never forget that when Ning Xueyan was playing in the yard when she was ten years old, she met Ning Yuling. Ning Ziyan was watching the excitement from the sidelines, while Ning Lingyun flattered Ning Yuling, watching her cry as she pulled her clothes tightly and said it was fun.
There are so many servants in the mansion, but none of them spoke for her, just watched Ning Yuling humiliate her!
She is already ten years old. If Ning Yuling ripped off her clothes in public, even if there is only the woman in the inner courtyard by her side, her reputation will be ruined. Ning Xueyan has enough reasons to believe that Ning Zuan will never Tolerating her, a daughter who "stained" the reputation of the Hou Mansion, will definitely make her die of illness "quietly"!
Fortunately, the Ming family got the letter, ran out from the Mingshuang courtyard, slapped Ning Yuling, and then rescued Ning Xueyan from the maid, and the Ming family was also punished to kneel for offending Ning Yuling. After three days and three nights in the ancestral hall, the whole kneeling person fainted, and the people of Mingshuangyuan brought Ming family back.
So far Ming's body became weaker, Ning Xueyan never dared to step out of Mingshuang Courtyard, and her temperament became more and more cowardly and useless!
But Ning Yuling had to scold her, saying that she was fined a month's worth of money!
How ridiculous, he almost killed himself, but he was only fined a month's worth of money, and his life was only worth a few taels of silver, but Ming was just so angry that he slapped Ning Yuling, but was almost beaten After being tortured to death, Ning Zu'an and Mrs. Tai didn't say a word.
The Ming family has never been favored, so they allow themselves to be bullied and scolded in the Hou Mansion! Even if she is dead, no one cares about it. Human life is thinner than paper, and the weak prey on the strong. Since they all think so, she will not shrink back and be afraid. People who have died once, although they cherish life, know what is the most ruthless of.
"How many sons and princes live in Hanshan Temple?" Ning Xueyan lowered her eyes, and Yubai's fingers hooked a corner of the embroidered curtain, and asked gently.
"Only the third prince and King Yi are here. The whereabouts of His Highness King Yi are not clear. The slaves dare not inquire. The guards over there are too fierce. The third prince lives in the middle courtyard on the right. The servants see someone passing by. There are a few girls from other houses who walk over there from time to time to watch the scenery."
Lan Ning thought for a while and replied, in order to get more accurate information, she went to check it out, but she couldn't get close to Yi Wang's side. On the contrary, there were many girls passing by the third prince's side. As long as the guards at the door don't disturb They don't really want to go into the yard, they won't chase those ladies from the aristocratic families outside.
Yi Wang Ao Chenyi, Ning Xueyan frowned slightly, she was really not sure why he came here.
The whole Chu Kingdom knows that King Yi, Ao Chenyi, has never married since his fiancée died of illness before getting on the bridal sedan chair. The emperor mentioned it several times, but he declined all of them. This marriage has been put on hold again and again.
This meeting is not always possible, let's also choose a wife for this King Yi!
Ning Xueyan thought about it carefully, and she also felt that this idea was ridiculous. Who is King Yi, with his identity, status, and his marriage, Concubine Yagui has no right to decide.
With that in mind, he stood up.
"Fifth girl, your body is better now. I'm afraid it will get worse after such a toss. You'd better rest for two more days and get up again!" Lan Ning said worriedly looking at her slightly flushed unnatural face.
"I heard that Ning Yuling is coming to the Hou Mansion." Ning Xueyan said lightly, helped Qingyu to stand up, her body was still weak, she stood up and her eyes went dark, and she regained her strength after a while.
She has to be quick. How many medicinal materials have been sent to her by Mrs. Tai these days, but the mother-in-law who sent the medicinal materials has repeatedly told her to take good care of her body, and said that if the maintenance is not good, some aristocratic daughters will not be able to find it. A good marriage, maybe you will become someone else's concubine.
What was said inside and out, even praised Ning Xueyan's beauty. Ning Xueyan believed that without Mrs. Tai's words, how could that woman dare to say such things in front of her.
What does it mean to be unable to become a regular wife, but to become a concubine!
This time, the meeting was originally for the sake of the princes and sons, but in the eyes of Mrs. Tai, it can be regarded as a concubine!
This is a threat, but also a warning, and even a notice!
If she becomes the regular wife of those couples, Mrs. Tai's means can't be said to send her to those couples as a side concubine. She must not disappoint her beauty, and she must seek wealth for the Houfu.
Ning Xueyan grew up in the Hou's Mansion for so many years, and was bullied to death. Later, she didn't even dare to have many gates in Mingshuangyuan. Mrs. Tai didn't say that she was too good for her. Seeing how beautiful she was, she actually wanted to She was sent out to be a concubine, Ning Xueyan felt even colder when she thought of this.
"Breath and dress up for me, let's go to the bamboo forest in the back mountain." Ning Xueyan gritted her teeth, a faint cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes.
After speaking, I helped Qingyu to sit down in front of the dressing table on one side. Seeing that she was determined, the two maids had no choice but to wash her up. He got up by himself, and happily said that he was going to tell Mrs. Tai.
Ning Xueyan asked her to confess to Mrs. Tai, saying that she was still sick, so she got up to dissipate the sickness a little, and did not go to pay her respects in order not to pass on the sickness to Mrs. Tai.
The mother-in-law responded repeatedly, looked Ning Xueyan up and down a few times, and went to report to Mrs. Tai happily. She used to think that the second girl was the most beautiful, but she didn't expect the fifth girl who hadn't been out of Mingshuangyuan for four or five years. She is a real beauty. Even though she looks sick and crooked now, she is so beautiful that people can't open their eyes. Mrs. Tai's wish will definitely come true.
After washing up, Ning Xueyan drank some porridge and felt a little refreshed, so she took Qingyu out. Qingyu brought a guqin with her. This piano was originally left by the Ming family. She taught Ning Xueyan to play, and this time Ning Xueyan brought it from the mansion to Hanshan Temple.
The green bamboo forest is just down from a fork in the back mountain. There are no chrysanthemums there. Only when you go up from here can you see chrysanthemums. Moreover, at this time, the autumn wind is rustling, and it is the time of depression. The bamboo leaves blown by the wind also bring their own flowers. Chill, no one doesn't want to see the colorful and gorgeous chrysanthemums blooming at this time, but runs here to see the bamboo forest.
Ning Xueyan supported Qingyu's hand, and looked at the scenery in front of her while walking. It was the time when the sun was shining brightly, and it was not the coldest. Ning Xueyan had a high fever for several days, her body was weak, and her steps were weak. It's not too far away, but it's also stopping and walking, which is more than half of the time slower than usual.
On the other fork of the mountain road, it is on the path that Ning Xueyan walked. The rocks are steep and almost unreachable. It is a rare dangerous place in Hanshan Temple. A small courtyard was built on it, and the gate of the courtyard was closed. Because half of the courtyard is leaning against the rocks on one side, it seems that a small part of it is tilted in the air from the bottom. On the pavilion tilted outwards, Ao Chenyi was looking at the folder in his hand. The pocketbook was thrown out.
The two guards at the door were so frightened that they knelt down.
"Zuo Zhibing, right? Arrest him and behead him for public display. The men will be sent to the border, and the women will be sent to the official palace!" Ao Chenyi had a sinister smile on his face, and the corners of his lips were slightly curved, but let People feel chilled for no reason.
If someone who is familiar with the affairs of the imperial court knew about it, they would definitely be horrified. Who is Zuo Zhibing? That was the servant of the third grade, he didn't even ask such a question, he beheaded him directly, and even copied his whole family.
"My lord, the emperor... the emperor asked..." the guard asked tremblingly.
