After being forced to marry as a substitute, I became famous in the limbo

Chapter 8 Making money is for ideals

Jiang Jing looked at Liu Jinfu quietly, for a long while, but still didn't say a word completely.

It wasn't that she was racking her brains to find a reasonable explanation for her climbing over the wall late at night, but that everything in front of her was too unreal.

Liu Jinfu was still sitting quietly under the eaves. The rich night light blended with her pure white underwear, creating an ink painting with soft lines.

Jiang Ning was in a trance for a while, which one was the real Liu Jinfu, the picturesque and fragile beauty in front of him, and the gorgeous and picturesque imperial concubine when he first met?
As the night darkened, the mist on the corner of the eaves became thicker.

Jiang Ning's body temperature seemed to be floating in the air with the faint mist in the air.She was frozen unconscious.

Liu Jinfu's hand hanging by her side tightened suddenly, and she grabbed the long whip into her palm.

"I'm asking you something!"

The long whip was swung out in an instant, and it hit the ground of the courtyard firmly, making a crisp "pop".

The crisp sound exploded in space instantly, dragging Jiang Ning back to reality.

She suddenly remembered what Zhe Liu said that day when she was held accountable because of Peacock Feather.

The imperial concubine has a sharp and sharp personality.

pungent.

crisp.

The stone pillar beside Liu Jinfu was covered with whip marks the size of fingers.

The whip marks were extremely deep, densely covering the entire stone pillar.Every trace is the peeling of the wall, and deep inside the traces, the color of the wall bricks inside can almost be clearly seen.

Looking at Liu Jinfu's white and slender hands, she couldn't help feeling a little confused. Could it be that those whip marks were really Liu Jinfu's masterpiece?

The surrounding area was still silent, and the sharp and crisp sound didn't seem to disturb the tranquility of Shuanghua Palace.

She gritted her teeth, barely suppressing the trembling in her mouth, "The concubine is for that peacock feather."

Liu Jinfu tilted his head with a slightly confused expression.

"Peacock Feather?"

"That's right." She folded her arms with her hands and kept rubbing her arms with her palms, trying to gain some warmth in this way.

"Why?"

"The concubine heard that the palace people love peacock feather hairpins very much. It is hard to find a hairpin, and the peacock in the palace is only in the empress's palace."

"What are you doing with peacock feather hairpins?"

Jiang Ning breathed out with difficulty, and rubbed his arms faster.

She looked at Liu Jinfu and couldn't help being curious, how did the other party not be disturbed by the cold in such a night?
"make money."

"Make money?" Liu Jinfu chuckled, "You are both Jiang Qingyuan's daughter and the emperor's concubine, so are you short of money?"

Jiang Ning's words trembled even more, "It's other people's money, not the concubine's own. Only the concubine's own money truly belongs to me."

"I never imagined that Jiang Qingyuan's family, who is weak and sick, can have such backbone." Liu Jinfu praised, "Why do you spend so much money?"

"Fulfill my concubine's dream." Not giving Liu Jinfu any chance to ask questions, Jiang Ning hurriedly continued, "The concubine's wish since childhood was to have her own house in the mountains and countryside, be self-sufficient, and live a peaceful and peaceful life .”

She finished speaking tremblingly, but did not wait for the expected ridicule.

"Dream?" Liu Jinfu said softly, as if he was chewing and savoring the word.

Liu Jinfu was silent for a moment, then called into the room, "Mengyin—"

As soon as the words were finished, a court lady in red came out of the room behind Liu Jinfu with a lantern. She was neatly dressed, as if waiting for Liu Jinfu's call in the room all the time.

"What's your order?" The court lady called Meng Yin bowed beside Liu Jinfu.

The warm light of the lantern shone on Liu Jinfu's face. Not only did the warm light not add any vitality to her face, but it made her look paler and more fragile.

"Pour some hot tea for Concubine Ning and put on a cloak."

"Yes." Meng Yin saluted, left the lantern in her hand to Liu Jinfu, and turned around to enter the house.

"Wait a minute." Liu Jinfu said again, "Go to the two eunuchs to pluck some peacock feathers, and tell them to be careful, if they hurt the peacocks, I will make them look good!"

"Yes." Mengyin turned and entered the room.

Looking at Liu Jinfu, Jiang Ning really didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd.

She subconsciously reminded herself that she should be on guard against all this abnormality.

But every time she looked at Liu Jinfu's cold and jade-like cheeks, it was difficult to maliciously speculate on her.

Jiang Ning was really helpless about his superficiality.

A warm light shone from the room, and the maid named Mengyin came out with tea and a cloak, and quickly ran to Jiang Ning's side.

"It's more dew-heavy, and you should be careful of catching a cold." Mengyin smiled sweetly at Jiang Ning, then put on the red cloak embroidered with magnolia patterns on Jiang Ning, and poured a cup of hot tea for Jiang Ning. "Your Majesty warm up your hands first, be careful not to burn them."

A burst of gentle warmth hit Jiang Ning from all directions, making her almost trance-like spirit a little clearer.

"Your Majesty, let's sit here first." Mengyin took out a futon wrapped in a thick cloth and placed it beside Jiang Ning, "Our Empress does not like others to sit with her."

She nodded her head to express her understanding, and looked over Mengyin, and glanced at Liu Jinfu who was wearing unlined clothes under the eaves.

"Your mother..." Jiang Ning said hesitantly, "Isn't she cold?"

"Your Majesty is never afraid of the cold." Mengyin turned her head away, and shouted into the distance, "What are you dawdling for! Didn't you see your Majesty waiting for you!"

Jiang Ning wanted to continue asking, but was interrupted by Meng Yin's words. She turned her head in the direction of Meng Yin's gaze, and saw two young eunuchs running towards her, yawning.

When one of the young eunuchs passed by, his face showed surprise, "Your Majesty! It really is you!"

She glanced at the little eunuch, and instantly recognized him as the person she met at the gate of Shuanghua Palace a few days ago.

"It's a slave, I'm Xiao Yuanzi! The slave saw you outside the Shuanghua Palace a few days ago, and guessed that you would definitely come to visit the imperial concubine! As expected!"

Just when she didn't know how to answer, Mengyin bumped Xiao Yuanzi's arm, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is watching over there."

Xiao Yuanzi turned his head and glanced in Liu Jinfu's direction, then shrank his head embarrassingly, not daring to say more.

Meng Yin lit the lamp and followed the two young eunuchs into the Peacock Garden.

Jiang Ning sat down on the futon that Mengyin gave her, holding the small teacup in both hands, looking at everything in Shuanghua Palace through the misty mist.

Completely different from Liu Jinfu's elegance and luxury, the layout of the entire Shuanghua Palace is surprisingly simple.

In this spring day, there is not even a little bright color in the garden.

Apart from the row of emerald bamboos in the corner, the decoration of this yard is only the lawn under him.

She took a sip of tea, held the teacup with some hesitation, and walked towards Liu Jinfu.

Jiang Ning added a cup of tea to the teacup in his hand with a teacup, and handed it to Liu Jinfu, "Your Majesty, drink tea."

Liu Jinfu looked up at her as if waking up from a dream, with no sadness or joy in his expression.
