Adore Trick of Beauty

Chapter 227 Laba Festival

Her beautiful eyes reflected the bright candlelight in the palace, shining with an incomprehensible light like stars in the dark night. Xiao Fengming's slender fingers brushed her eyes, and after a long while he said calmly: "Kneel down. It's very late."

Nie Wushuang watched him turn his back, and a place in her heart suddenly seemed to be overturned by ice and snow, so cold that she couldn't help but shiver.

Why did she come tonight? Are you openly and openly complaining about the Jade Concubine? Or are you looking for evidence of growth for the little secret hope that has emerged in your heart?

She was confused.

"...Don't fall in love with him, don't..." Concubine Yu's regretful eyes kept widening in front of her before her death, and her beauty turned into bones. No matter how much she boasted about her unparalleled talent, she could not resist his tenderness like poison.

In the empty imperial study, candles were held high, as bright as day. Can't stay any longer. If she stayed there for another moment, she would feel chilled to the core for another moment. But she clearly said to Concubine Yu's body that was still cold: "Your ending will never be my ending..."

In fact, she was wrong. The ending of Jade Concubine is the ending of all the women who love God and the King.

If you don't love, you won't be afraid, if you don't love, you won't be hurt - this is the truth that can only be obtained at a bloody price. Nie Wushuang turned around suddenly and strode towards the door of the imperial study room.

"What she likes most is the spring scenery beside the ten-mile long embankment outside the capital. I plan to bury her on a hill beside the long embankment and build a nunnery. This way she can see her favorite scenery every year." His slightly hoarse voice suddenly came from behind.

Nie Wushuang paused and smiled coldly: "I would like to thank the Emperor for your kindness on behalf of the Imperial Concubine." After she finished speaking, she walked out of the imperial study without looking back and disappeared into the cold windy night.

The fragrance faded away and the jade died, and in the end, only his last words of kindness were left in the two-ten years of youth. If he was as smart as Concubine Yu, he would have known about it long ago. It's just that he doesn't want to tell the truth, let alone get involved in such feelings. He is gentle. It's just that his gentleness has always been gentle, nothing more, nothing less, neither good nor bad.

Only pamper but not love. This is the way of the emperor's harem. Therefore, he said, I don't want to guess your thoughts.

It turns out that’s the case, and it’s indeed the case!

The night outside is as dark as ink, and the numerous palaces and pavilions hide monsters in the dark night, seeking to devour people. Xiao Fengming turned around just in time to see her skirt, as long as a phoenix tail, flash past without leaving any trace.

"Wushuang..."

The long sigh is like the cold wind in the dark night. It blows away and disperses.

Three days later, Concubine Jade was mourned. The entire harem's red silk turned into white cloth, and it was all white. Xiao Fengming decreed that Concubine Jade should be given the posthumous title of "Zhen", which is "Concubine Zhenyu". She was specially ordered to be buried in a blessed land with excellent Feng Shui on "Wangpo" in the west of the capital. A nunnery was built next to it to pray for her day and night. . Because the long embankment to the west of the capital is a place where young men and women meet during spring outings, the incense of the nunnery here is becoming more and more prosperous day by day, and most of them are looking for marriage and children. Many people think it is very effective. Over the years, this nunnery has become a famous resort in Beijing. Everyone says that the "Holy Jade Concubine" suffered from love during her lifetime. After her death, she did not want all the crazy men and resentful women in the world to suffer the same fate. Suffering, that's why it manifests itself...

The death of Concubine Jade has little impact on the entire harem. As the sun rises and sets, the entire harem will not feel any more sad for a concubine who has not been favored for a long time. Three days later, the white pan used to summon spirits was replaced by red silk, and the palace lanterns were so red that they almost blinded everyone.

Yajieyu stayed in the "Yonghua Palace". She was trepidatious at first, but gradually she saw that Nie Wushuang took good care of her, and then she got used to it. When Concubine Yu was going to be buried, Nie Wushuang refused to let her go and ordered her to recuperate in the palace. At first, Yajieyu still complained in her heart, but later she heard Yang Zhi say that the reason why Concubine Jade's funeral could be so grand in such a short time was because Nie Wushuang risked her life to beg the emperor. She couldn't help but sigh: "The empress has a cold face and a warm heart, but I, the concubine, have a cold face and a warm heart." I’m really grateful.”

Yang Zhi smiled and said: "Yes, my mother-in-law has always been like this. It's okay if others misunderstand me. Yajieyu is my mother's confidant. My mother is kind-hearted, and my mother-in-law should understand."

Yajieyu was thoughtful after hearing this. Seeing that his words had an effect, Yang Zhi quietly withdrew. As soon as he walked out of Nuan Pavilion, he saw Nie Wushuang standing not far from Nuan Pavilion, with Deshun beside him, looking at him coldly.

Yang Zhi shrank inwardly at the look in her eyes, and quickly lowered his head and stepped forward: "What are your orders?"

Nie Wushuang looked at the closed door of Nuange and asked coldly: "What exactly did you say to her?"

Yang Zhi knew that every move he made in the "Yonghua Palace" could not escape her eyes, and said calmly: "This slave is just explaining to Ya Jieyu some of the things that the empress has done for the Jade Concubine. Nothing else. "

Nie Wushuang sneered: "When did I need you to praise the things I did?"

Yang Zhi glanced at the smiling Deshun behind her, lowered his head and said, "I just want to make everything you do in the future smoother for your Majesty. Your Majesty is aware of this."

Nie Wushuang glanced at him and took a breath: "I understand Eunuch Yang's painstaking efforts, but I may not be able to get the child in Ya Jieyu's belly yet. Don't let her have this idea, I will be with her in the future It’s also difficult to meet.”

After she finished speaking, she turned and left. Yang Zhi looked at Deshun who was trying to follow behind her, and said calmly: "Deshun, we have some chores at home that we need to do for you."

Deshun turned around, walked back with small steps, and said with a smile: "What do you want to tell me, Eunuch Yang?"

Yang Zhi looked at his unchanging smile and said calmly: "A slave must be loyal to be rich and worry-free, and a slave's slave must be even more so. You understand.

What? "

Deshun smiled and nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand. Don't worry, Eunuch Yang. The empress has been in a bad mood these days, and I happen to be making jokes, so I took my servant with me. Isn't it Eunuch Yang's decision on all the important matters in the palace?" ?”

Yang looked straight at his bent waist, said nothing, turned and left.

Deshun straightened up, a ruthless look flashed in his slender smiling eyes, and waited for Yang Zhi to leave before he left slowly.

The days passed, and in a blink of an eye it was the Laba Festival. The palace maids stayed up all night the day before and began to get busy, washing, soaking, peeling, pitting and carefully selecting the ingredients for the Laba porridge one by one. Then start cooking it at midnight, then simmer it over low heat until the next morning, then the Laba porridge is ready. Major temples even held grand "Buddha Bathing Ceremony" to serve Laba porridge to the people, which was very lively.

Nie Wushuang got up early in the morning, dressed as a palace maid, put cinnabar patterns on his forehead to ward off evil spirits, and together with Ya Jieyu, paid their respects to the emperor and empress.

When they arrived at the Queen's "Lai Yi Palace", the Emperor and Queen had already worshiped their ancestors before dawn. They all wore bright yellow dresses and sat on the throne. The concubines who came first have already met the emperor and empress. Nie Wushuang stepped forward and knelt down to pray. The emperor took the golden bowl of Laba porridge from the palace attendant and handed it to her.

Nie Wushuang glanced at him, met his dark eyes, and lowered his eyes: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the porridge."

Xiao Fengming said calmly: "There is a reward." The palace attendant took out the prepared gold nuggets, and the emperor suddenly said: "Bi Concubine is wise and virtuous, and she has done a good job in taking care of Ya Jieyu. I will reward her again."

The queen also smiled and said: "Your Majesty is right. I also have this intention."

Nie Wushuang came down with two rewards. The concubines sitting there looked at her with jealousy, disdain, and more inquiring eyes.

Nie Wushuang's expression remained as usual, waiting for Yajieyu to accept the reward. Then he started to stutter. At this moment, a chamberlain at the gate of Laiyi Palace sang: "Yun Chongyuan comes to visit."

Nie Wushuang looked up and saw Yun Chongyuan walked in cautiously, supported by the palace maid. When she came to the main hall, she knelt down with difficulty and prayed first.

The emperor's expression was as usual, and the queen couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw her belly was as big as a belly: "Get up quickly. Be careful not to damage your knees by kneeling."

Yun Chongyuan stood up with difficulty, glanced resentfully at Xiao Fengming beside her, and then whispered: "I would like to thank the Queen for your love and care."

The Queen smiled and asked, "Isn't this day coming soon?"

Hearing this, Yun Chongyuan showed a bit of pride on her face: "Replying to the Queen, the imperial doctor said that the child will be born in less than a month."

The queen nodded: "That's really good. In that case, Yun Chongyuan should take good care of herself and give her a baby at the beginning of next year." After saying this, the queen ordered the palace servants to give her the prepared reward.

After Yun Chongyuan thanked him for the reward, she looked at Xiao Fengming with earnest eyes. Xiao Fengming glanced at her and said calmly: "Yun Chongyuan is pregnant with a dragon heir. She must guard against arrogance and impatience in everything." He turned to Eunuch Lin beside him and said: "We will reward you as per the rules."

The eagerness on Yun Chongyuan's face suddenly turned into discouragement, she accepted the reward and left sadly.

Nie Wushuang looked at this scene and lowered his eyes coldly.

Nie Wushuang looked at this scene and lowered his eyes coldly. Yajieyu sat next to her and whispered: "Sister Nie, Yun Chongyuan has completely disappointed the emperor this time. There will be no more trouble."
