Chapter 91: The Concubine's Unwillingness (On the shelves for the first order!!!)

"Why?" Ning Bin asked coldly.

"Because the imperial concubine's illness is serious day and night, she may not be lying when she said that she doesn't want to see you at this time." Bai Ling said softly.

She raised her eyes to look at Concubine Ning again, and said in a gentle voice, "There have been constant turmoil in Chengqian Palace these past few days, I think that Concubine Ning must have had a hard time waiting in Xianfu Palace."

Concubine Ning's eyes moved slightly, and she couldn't help but look at Qu's window, and murmured in a low voice, "...how could it be possible not to suffer."

Bo Ling was speechless, looking at Ning Bin with a bit of sympathy.

"We are suffering in the same way." Bai Ling said softly, "In the past few days, Granny Shu and Sister Baoyuan have almost never left the bed of the imperial concubine or empress. It is difficult for everyone, and empress please forgive me."

Concubine Ning stood there silently, her heart still fluctuating because of the dispute just now.

"Who taught you these words?" Ning Bin asked suddenly.

"I guessed it." Bai Ling leaned forward, "Maybe I guessed wrong, please don't take offense, Concubine Ning."

Concubine Ning snorted again, but breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at Bai Ling, "If I come in the evening, will the result be the same?"

"The imperial concubine is still ill after all, and it is common for her to avoid everything from the outside world..." Bo Ling said softly, "Even if she still doesn't want to see people at that time, you'd better not force yourself in."

Concubine Ning raised her eyebrows involuntarily, "She avoids, so you just let her go? Don't you know what's going on outside now? If this continues—"

"Your Majesty," Bo Ling slightly raised his voice, "There are a lot of people here, please come back in the evening."

These words are not only a reminder, but also a request in the voice.

Concubine Ning pondered for a moment, countless emotions flashed across those eyes in an instant, turbulent worry and resentment surged amid deep helplessness.

She sighed, finally turned around, and said in a deep voice, "Go back to the palace."

When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped again, turned her head and said, "I will come back in the evening, if I don't see Moon Shadow today, I will stay in Chengqian Palace and will not leave!"

……

"Actually, it's okay even if Concubine Ning stays with us tonight, there's still a bed in the east side hall." Bao Yuan pulled Bai Ling with a bit of a grumpy expression, "Even if it's for the good of our concubine, Concubine Ning is too late today." Bullying people!"

Bo Ling didn't answer, but propped his chin, smiled and listened to Bao Yuan's words.

Outside the main hall of Chengqian Palace, only the two of them sat around the small round table, and the rest were sent out to work.

Not long after, Zheng Shu came out from the room, Bao Yuan and Bo Ling looked at her at the same time, and asked softly, "How is it?"

"Come in." Zheng Shu said in a very soft voice, and her figure was hidden behind the curtain again.

Most of the windows in the house are closed, with only a small gap open.

Qu Shi was still lying in the shadow under the veil, the room was covered in gray, like two worlds with the spring outside.

This is what Qu's situation is most of the time now.

"Your Majesty, don't you really want to sleep for a while longer?" Baoyuan walked to the curtain and asked.

"How can I still be able to sleep?" Qu's voice was hoarse and tired.

She suffers from insomnia at night and drowsiness during the day.Last night, it was rare to sleep for more than an hour in the first half of the night, but in the end, I woke up at the ugly hour and sat withered until dawn.

Baoyuan's distress was written all over her face, and she couldn't say anything.

Through the veil, Qu sat very straight. She turned her head to look towards Bai Ling, her voice was somewhat irrefutable, "Even if Concubine Ning comes again in the evening, I won't see you."

"It all depends on what the empress wants." Bai Ling looked at the gauze curtain and replied calmly, "I won't be a lobbyist for Empress Ning, so don't worry, empress."

Only then did Qu slowly back away, leaning on the cotton pillow.

"Your Majesty..." Zheng Shu said hesitantly, "You really don't want to hear what Concubine Ning wants to tell you?"

"After all, it's the flower viewing party at the end of the month." Qu replied flatly, "I won't go, so don't persuade me anymore."

The room suddenly fell silent.

Bai Ling thought for a while, and then said somewhat uncertainly, "How did the empress know that Empress Ning is here for the flower viewing at the end of the month?"

"Let me tell." Zheng Shu glanced at the imperial concubine on the bed, and said to Bai Ling, "Shortly after you left this morning, Eunuch Jia came over."

"He's here again." Bo Ling blinked, "What is he here for this time?"

"One is that this year's flower viewing party will not be held in the palace," Zheng Shu said with a sad face, "It is said that the emperor thinks that the imperial garden is too small, and temporarily changed his mind. The people are happy."

See Anhu.

Bai Ling frowned slightly.She vaguely remembered that this was a lake in the southwest corner of Pingjing. Although it was a lake, it was four or five times as big as Pingjing.There are some islands scattered here and there, one of which seems to be the fairy garden where Emperor Xi Xuanxiu lived.

In the past, the busiest time at Jian'an Lake was in summer, and merchants in the city spent money to hold lantern festivals in that area every now and then, and the boats on the lake and the lanterns matched each other. The people loved the excitement of summer nights.

Seeing that Zheng Shu seemed hesitant to speak, Bo Ling asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Furthermore... Eunuch Jia said that a batch of evening scent will bloom in about two days, just in time for the delivery of the first batch of lanterns in the palace..."

Zheng Shu's voice became lower and lower, and her eyes could not help but gradually shifted to the imperial concubine.

"...So the night after tomorrow, we will hold a garden party at the Royal Garden Club first. The emperor has approved it. The invitations to the empresses of the palaces will probably be delivered in the afternoon."

"I'm not going." Qu Shi replied wearily.

"Your Majesty..." Zheng Shu was about to say something more, but Bo Ling shook his head gently at her.

Despite being full of worries, Zheng Shu still stopped her mouth in a timely manner.

Just at this time, the Imperial Dining Room routinely delivered the imperial concubine's morning meal. Although Qu Shi was tired, she still drank half a bowl of rice porridge under the service of Bao Yuan and several maidservants, and then lay down in a drowsy state. up.

Bo Ling bowed to salute, and then left the room, followed by Zheng Shu.

……

"I just don't understand...why do you have to go to this flower viewing party?"

Sitting on the sealed dry well of Chengqian Palace, Bo Ling still couldn't help asking this question to Zheng Shu in front of him, "Grandma Shu also thinks that this is why Concubine Ning is here today?"

Zheng Shu nodded with a complicated expression, "It must be. Although Concubine Ning has a strong temper, she is like a mirror in her heart for many rules in this palace. She understands it in her heart!"

Bai Ling thought for a while, "...or is it related to your empress' reputation outside?"

Zheng Shu didn't answer right away.

These things, they would not talk to Qu Shi on weekdays, but the wind and rain of the previous dynasty will eventually blow to this Chengqian Palace.

The usual flower viewing party in the palace is nothing more than that, but the noble concubine's reputation in Wanmin's hearts, how can she just let it go and give it to others?
If she has been hiding in this deep palace, those stinking infamy and non-existent fabrications will only become more and more unscrupulous. When it spreads from the government to the people, how will the monstrous public opinion be manipulated... No one dares think.

"At this juncture..." Zheng Shu sighed and said in a low voice, "To fight for fame is to fight for life."
