The Devious First-Daughter

After finishing speaking, Concubine Xia turned her head to the side, coughed twice, covered her face with a handkerchief, and smiled at Ning Xueyan with a bit of embarrassment: "I made Concubine Ning laugh."

"Your Majesty is not in good health?" Ning Xueyan herself was a chronically ill person, and at this moment she could see that Concubine Xia's complexion was indeed not very well, and her brows and eyes were a little paler.

"This body is not very good. I take as much medicine as usual. It's an old problem." Concubine Xia said softly, showing a bit of self-mockery.

"Your Majesty was talking about Buddhism with Master Jingkong just now?" Seeing Concubine Xia's appearance, she didn't seem to want to talk about this topic. a topic.

"Concubine Ning knows Master Jingkong?" Concubine Xia coughed twice before raising her face, and asked with a smile of interest, "Not everyone in this palace knows each other. Master Jingkong!"

"Before, I participated in the draft in the palace, and I met Mrs. Jingkong at that time." Ning Xueyan smiled faintly. This matter cannot be hidden from others. There are many people who know it. Besides, the relationship between her and Ao Chenyi The fate of marriage seems to have started from Shitai Jingkong.

"Master Jingkong is a person who is proficient in Buddhism. When I came here today, I suddenly remembered some past events. I was sad and sad, so I specially invited Master Jingkong to help me explain it. I didn't expect it. Meeting Concubine Ning is very destined."

Concubine Xia was as gentle as ever, with a soft voice and a smile, which made people feel good.

As for the predestined relationship, Ning Xueyan was also very speechless, saying that this Concubine Xia is very mysterious, almost never appearing in front of people, no matter it is a festival in the palace, or the birthday of the emperor, she has never appeared before. Even the other concubines in the palace may not all have seen her.

Therefore, she has the mystery.

It's just that today, what a coincidence, the first time I entered the palace to thank her, I actually met her, I have to say that the power of fate is really too great.

The long eyelashes curled up for a while, and there was a trace of doubt in the pupils, but when he looked up again, he was full of smiles, with a hint of respect in his politeness: "Your Majesty's worries are too heavy, if you can let go of your obsessions, It’s hard to say that this disease will be much better.”

These words are just a matter of fact, not too intimate. Anyone can see that this Concubine Xia, although she is smiling, her eyebrows are raised from time to time, as if she is sighing, and her heart is depressed. Think again. Thinking of Mrs. Jingkong whom she specially asked for, it can be seen that this person has a lot of things on her mind.

"There are some things that you can just let go of, not just letting go." Concubine Xia didn't deny or admit it, she just sighed lightly, her words were dull.

Ning Xueyan couldn't continue with these words. No matter what Concubine Xia cares about in the past, it seems that it is not the first time she meets someone. What should be said, besides, this is the palace. Ning Xueyan has always felt that she can The past of the favorite concubine who survived in the palace, or was able to survive well, and was favored is definitely not something that I can participate in.

It is better not to intervene, and to avoid unnecessary troubles.

If it was her in the previous life, maybe because of the words of Concubine Xia, she would unconsciously ask in depth.

But after experiencing such a tragic death, if she is still so innocent, the fate of this life may be a hundred times more miserable than the previous life.

Therefore, since entering the palace, she has been keeping her heart in mind and trying to speak as little as possible. Now, of course, she also has such a plan in mind, so she lowered her eyebrows and moved her head, only smiling and showing a faint smile, making a gesture With an attitude of listening attentively, he rubbed the handkerchief in his hand, but did not continue the conversation.

Concubine Xia didn't seem to expect that Ning Xueyan would not ask, but she became quiet for a while. In this small and quiet world, there were only the sounds of the wind blowing and the colorful falling flowers.

There was a strange coldness between the two of them.

"Your Majesty, you'd better go back and rest first. The medicine has already been decocted in a short time. If you don't take it while it's hot, the effect of the medicine will not be good." A maid standing next to Concubine Xia took two steps forward. , whispered in Concubine Xia's ear

"Don't worry, I'll leave after talking to Concubine Ning." Concubine Xia coughed twice and said.

"Your Majesty, if you go back and use the medicine, the emperor will ask you about it later, and you will punish the servants again." The maid was anxious, with panic on her face, a look of panic and fear, which can make the current emperor interrogate a concubine every day The medication situation is indeed scary enough.

"Your Majesty, you should go back and take medicine first. Your body is the most important thing. If you have a chance in the future, you can see you again." Ning Xueyan had to persuade, she was not willing to bear the burden, for the crime of wronging this beloved concubine's medicine, see The emperor's nervous look, it seems that the name of Concubine Xia, the favorite concubine, is not in vain.

"Okay then!" Both of them were persuading Concubine Xia, who looked like a soft-tempered person, she stood up helplessly, "I don't know why, seeing Concubine Ning is like seeing an old friend from the past. Concubine Concubine's eyes are very similar, if Concubine Ning is free in the future, come and see me, I usually don't have many people here, I'm very lonely."

Concubine Xia looked at Ning Xueyan softly, with a soft smile on her face, very friendly.

"Definitely, if there is a chance, I will definitely come to visit my empress." Speaking of this, Ning Xueyan was of course inconvenient to refuse, so she also stood up and said politely.

"Well, then I'll go back first. Concubine Ning will come to see me when I have time. It's very interesting to chat with Concubine Ning. Looking at Concubine Ning's body, it seems that there are shortcomings. I have a lot of medicinal materials. Concubine Ning At that time, you can pick some useful ones to go back." Concubine Xia looked very satisfied with Ning Xueyan's answer, and said something with a smile on purpose, and then left with the maids and nuns.

Another young eunuch neatly cleared away the tea set on the stone table.

This small world suddenly became quiet.

"Master, this Concubine Xia looks very nice!" Lan Ning couldn't help but whispered without outsiders, "If she wasn't in the palace, the slaves would not believe that she is still a concubine."

The concubines in the palace, no matter who they are, seem to be very arrogant. The two young concubines who were thrown into the cold palace before, and a few concubines who treat them badly, and those who have been focusing on and Xianyun County The queen who was the main chatter, and even Concubine Ya and Concubine Shu that Lan Ning and Ning Xueyan saw at the banquet before.

These one and two seem to be not easy to talk to. Only this concubine Xia is really approachable, and she speaks softly, with a smile on her face all the time, very gentle, and her overall temperament is good.

Ning Xueyan sat down again, under her long eyelashes, there was a twinkle, and the corners of her light-colored lips were slightly raised, and said softly, "Do you think that in this palace, if Concubine Xia is really dragging a sick body , and her temperament is so weak and gentle, will she be favored in this palace, and live a good life!"

In her last life, she had a very soft temper, she was willing to believe anything, and thought everything was true, but what was the final result?

If this is the case for people outside the palace, what about inside the palace? In a place where so many beauties are gathered, how can she, a former imperial concubine, live a good life? She can live a good life!

And what makes Ning Xueyan suspicious the most is the words of Mrs. Jingkong. She has met Mrs. Jingkong, and she will never believe that Mrs. Jingkong is a person who talks nonsense, but if not, then what does she mean? , It is really worthy of scrutiny.

"Master, do we want to go back? It's getting late." Lan Ning reminded, the two master and servant only mentioned what they said just now, this is the palace, if they talk about the concubine wantonly, if someone hears it, That's not easy to say, and this place doesn't seem to be as sealed as imagined.

Looking out from here, it seems that all the branches and forks are full of flowers, blocking the road before they came, but just now, they can clearly hear the crying of Empress Xia, and low voice.

This is really a good place, just listening to the sound, not seeing people.

"Let's go, let's go back." Ning Xueyan nodded. They walked all the way just now, and they walked for a long time. Afterwards, they came here and said a few words to Concubine Xia. What are the Queen and Princess Xianyun doing? I should have finished talking about myself, and it will be lunch time soon, maybe the queen has sent someone to look for her.

The two returned along the same path, staying away from this unique small world. Ning Xueyan looked back, but she really couldn't see it from here. There is actually another world inside. Found it, just thought the trail had come to an end.

With a twitch in his heart, he couldn't help but take another look, and then he and Lan Ning walked away slowly.

In the depths of the peach forest, Concubine Xia did not leave. She leaned against a branch of a peach tree, coughed twice, and looked at Ning Xueyan's leaving back thoughtfully, implying that unknown.

"Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace to take some medicines. Not only has my Majesty's illness not improved, but it has gotten a little worse. If this continues, what will happen to my Majesty's health!" Putting on a cloak, he persuaded.

"She really looks alike!" Concubine Xia didn't seem to hear her persuasion, her eyes were still fixed on the direction where Ning Xueyan disappeared, and she muttered to herself.

"Your Majesty, you should go back first. Whether that person looks like anyone or not has nothing to do with us. Your Majesty's body is the most important thing. If the Emperor sees your Majesty and hasn't taken the medicine, he will definitely be angry!" Yan Zhen Not understanding what Concubine Xia meant, she looked at the direction where Ning Xueyan disappeared, and still couldn't help persuading her.

"What's the point of this body, whether it's alive or dead!" Concubine Xia wryly smiled, with a trace of pain on her face, but she couldn't help it anymore, bent down and coughed violently, Yan Zhen immediately stroked her Her back, relieve her.

Finally, she calmed down, and wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief: "Go and check this Concubine Ning, and check the situation at her home."

Closed in the deep palace all the time, she hardly knows anything about the previous dynasty!
