In the past, Nie Sangyu was treated harshly because she was ignorant and annoying. But now the person in front of her has changed from a shrew to a generous and decent little woman, thinking about the friendship between the two, Ning Yuxuan is somewhat human, and still feels unbearable.
If Nie Sangyu entered the palace as Concubine Nie's natal family, where would he lose the face of Marquis Moyu's residence
After being silent for a while, Ning Yuxuan stood up and said, "Come with me first."
Ji Man looked up and looked at him puzzled. That car is about to get into the car, what are you going to do with him
Ning Yuxuan stepped forward and walked forward, Ji Man could only keep up, and carefully looked at the man's side face along the way, seeing that although he had no expression, he was not angry, so he relaxed a little.
Mo Yuhou took her to the west courtyard, asked her to wait outside, and then went into the house. After a while, he brought out a round jade pendant for her.
That jade pendant is really round, it feels very good to the touch, there is no pattern on it, but the word Ning is squarely engraved on it.
To be honest, this jade pendant is really ugly, a piece of mutton fat jade was lost in vain. But when Ning Yuxuan put it in her hand, he even hesitated for a moment.
"After all, you are still from Moyuhou's mansion." Moyuhou finally let go of his hand, and the jade pendant fell into Ji Man's palm.
Ji Man was at a loss, she naturally didn't know what this thing meant, she just wanted to open her mouth to ask, Ning Yuxuan said impatiently: "If you want to enter the palace, hurry up, what are you dawdling about, mother might be waiting in front caught."
One moment is cloudy and the other is sunny, this person's mind is really incomprehensible. With the mentality of not wanting nothing, Ji Man put away the jade pendant and hung it on his waist, then ran back to Feiwan Pavilion with small steps, and let Clover tidy up before heading to the main entrance.
"Master." Clover was surprised when she saw the jade pendant around her waist, "This...was given by Master Hou?"
Ji Man nodded, his last name was written on it.
Clover's face was filled with joy, and she reached out to pull out the silver hairpin on her head, and replaced it with a hairpin she bought from a pawn shop. Her hair was full of gold, and she was replaced with a long concubine-colored dress with milky white sleeves. .
"What is this for?" Ji Man was puzzled.
"The Marquis gave this jade pendant, although he didn't announce it to the court, he was very happy." Clover happily said, "This is a jade pendant with the husband's surname that ordinary wives can only wear. The Marquis must not have the heart to let you enter the palace." Be more decent, and the servants will naturally not let you be shabby."
flat wife? Ji Man was speechless, she only said a few words, how could Mo Yuhou be so generous? Didn't you do everything possible to prevent the old lady from making her a wife? Why did he give her the jade pendant himself
"This servant was just thinking about how you would face Mrs. Nie and the master if you entered the palace. It is better now. Although you made a big mistake, Lord Hou still regards you as his wife. Naturally, others dare not underestimate you." It's up to you." Clover said with a smile while helping her up.
Ji Man turned his head sideways and thought for a long time, even walking on the road, Ning Yuxuan didn't seem like someone who could forgive Nie Sangyu overnight, what was he doing to give her such a big favor all of a sudden
When sitting in the car with the old lady, the old lady also saw her jade pendant, her eyes lit up, but she was not too surprised: "Xuan'er is finally willing to give it to you."
Ji Man smiled obediently, and said, "I have to thank Lord Hou for his kindness when I come back."
"You can thank me, but there is an awkward situation in Rose Garden, so just don't make trouble in person." The old lady instructed.
Of course Ji Man knew this reason, Mo Yuhou didn't announce it to the whole house, so she assumed that he lent her the jade pendant, and she might have to return it to him when she returned.
The old lady sat in the car and muttered a few words in a low voice: "Now your brother's official luck is good, and your father is still highly regarded by the emperor. It's just that the branches and leaves under the Nie family have been cut a lot, and the emperor is willing to favor the noble concubine again. .You, just be honest, don't always rush to the point of the knife."
"Sang Yu understands." Ji Man nodded, feeling a faint reaction in his heart. Mo Yuhou was only willing to show his favor to Nie Sangyu because of the Nie family's face, and gave her a reasonable identity to see the imperial concubine, so that the old lady would not be so embarrassed.
So it didn't have much to do with her own performance, she thought that this man would be able to see Nie Sangyu's goodness after being well-behaved for more than a month.
But thinking about seeing the imperial palace of this era, Ji Man was still happy, so he treated it as a free tour.
Before entering the palace, she went through three inspections and went through the formalities, before the old lady got out of the car and walked inside with Sang Yu behind the palace attendants. This is called the Song Dynasty, and the economic environment is similar to that of the Song Dynasty in history. The imperial palace is not as gorgeous as after the Qing Dynasty. Building, ten steps and one pavilion, after all, it is different from the folk.
Concubine Nie has always been favored, and the place where she lives is more luxurious than other places. Ji Man lowered his head and went in with the old lady, and saw layers of veils, and a faint figure behind him, with a strong fragrance.
"My concubine is from the Ning Ji clan, and I greet the imperial concubine." The old lady knelt neatly outside the gauze curtain.
Ji Man hurriedly knelt down, but didn't know how to address himself, so he just kept quiet.
A laugh came from behind the gauze curtain: "Finally, I'm looking forward to your coming. This palace is lonely, and there is no one to talk to me. Go down first with the book and close the gate to this palace. Except for the emperor, anyone No one should let me in, do you understand?"
"Yes." The maid answered, and hurriedly led all the palace people down, the door creaked and closed with a dull sound.
"Get up quickly." The person behind the gauze curtain slumped down, pushed aside layers of barriers, and helped the old lady up with his own hands.
"Xiu'er, if you don't talk to me again, I will almost suffocate myself." Concubine Nie's voice was choked up, she couldn't laugh so happily just now. Ji Man stood aside, couldn't help but secretly looked up at her.
This is amazing to see, Nie Guifei is supposed to be the same age as the old lady, although she should still have charm, she is old after all.
But Concubine Nie in front of her had a small face and a pair of almond eyes that were full of affection. The figure is also slim and pleasant, how does it look like a person in his 30s or 40s
It is impossible to complain that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was obsessed with the beauty of Concubine Nie Gui. Few people are not obsessed with such an alluring beauty. It's just that her skin is not young anymore, with some fine lines and dullness.
"I know you have been wronged." The old lady sighed, took Concubine Nie's hand, and sat at the table with her: "Sang Yu is ignorant and gave the emperor a reason, otherwise, he will not want to touch you."
Ji Man followed the old lady's words and knelt down again: "Sang Yu is sorry for Auntie, come and apologize for Auntie."
Concubine Nie looked at her in a blink of an eye, shook her head and reached out to help her: "I can't blame you entirely, he wants to prune the branches and leaves for the Nie family, even if you don't break into the palace, he will find other reasons, it's just your temper, you should change it You must have suffered a lot of grievances during this time, right?"
Ji Man tried his best to grin, looked at the beautiful aunt in front of him, shook his head and said: "Sang Yu is not wronged, after so many years in the Hou Mansion, I have figured it out, now I am not as impulsive and willful as before, and I can serve the old man well for the rest of my life I am lucky to serve my aunt."
Concubine Nie was slightly surprised, and reached out to touch Ji Man's head: "You are really sensible. I heard that you were demoted by Yuxuan to a concubine a while ago, and I was still worried that you would be overwhelmed."
Nie Sangyu really couldn't think about it, but she could think about it. If it wasn't for the Nie family, Ning Yuxuan would have divorced Nie Sangyu directly, and it would be very rare to be able to wait for a comeback in the Hou Mansion.
"If you can't think about it any more, think about your own family, and you'll think about it." Ji Man said with a smile: "Compared to the love that Lord Hou gave Sang Yu, the old lady and aunt gave more. Why did Sang Yu want to go into the horns?"
Concubine Nie was stunned, she savored these words for a long time, her eyes turned red again: "Little girl is more open-minded than me, Xiu'er, look, I was prepared to be wronged, so I called this girl Tell me a few words and tell me half of it."
The old lady glanced at Ji Man approvingly, then took Concubine Nie's hand and said softly: "You two sisters and nephews are alike, both are infatuated. But my mother, I said earlier that the emperor's family has no real feelings. , the emperor is willing to spoil you, so you cherish it, don't be petty with him. The queen is still eyeing her, and the prince has been diligent in government recently. If you don't fight for something for the third prince, it will be too late to say anything. "
Concubine Nie and the empress are peaceful on the surface, but they fight fiercely in private. The crown prince is the eldest son of the direct line. He is intelligent and elegant, and he is quite liked by the emperor. The third prince was born of Concubine Nie, but he loves mountains and rivers, and he seems to be aloof from the world, and Concubine Nie has nothing to do with him if he is in a hurry.
"He doesn't want it himself, so what's the use of me fighting for it?" Concubine Nie sighed: "Next year, newcomers will be admitted to the palace. Looking at myself getting old every day in the mirror, I feel hopeless from the bottom of my heart."
The old lady shook her head: "There are so many women in the harem, isn't he still with you for a few days every month? What are you worried about?"
"But..." Concubine Nie reached out and touched her face: "Women in the palace age quickly, and when I'm exhausted physically and mentally, maybe I will turn white overnight."
The old lady thought of the gift Sang Yu brought when she went out, and quickly turned her head and said: "Sang Yu girl seems to have something good to give to your mother, why don't you take a look at it?"
Ji Man nodded, and went out to take back the burden just handed over to the maid.
"They are all beauty-beautifying things. Sang Yu collected them outside the palace. If the empress feels comfortable using them, Sang Yu will make more for the empress next time."
Concubine Nie's eyes lit up when she heard the words "beauty and beauty". Seeing Sang Yu take out some bottles and cans, she couldn't help asking curiously, "What effect does it have?"
The old lady smiled slightly, and said: "You just look at my face, you only care about being sad, didn't you realize that I only used light makeup today, and the spots on my face have disappeared a lot?"
