She favors the Sixth Palace again

Chapter 43: Concubine’s Disgrace
The lights in Changle Palace are brightly lit.

In recent days, I have been living with the Queen Mother in Cining Palace. When I suddenly returned to Changle Palace, I felt like I was in another world.

Peng Qingyin had changed out of her birthday banquet attire and put on a pair of goose-yellow regular clothes. She had just taken a bath, and her brocade-like black hair had just been wrung out and exuded a faint floral fragrance. There was no trace of pink or white on her face. Before she could do it, without the heavy makeup, she looked very childish, and when she raised her eyes, she still had the innocence and ignorance unique to teenagers.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has given me wine." Lian Xin came in from outside the palace, with a hint of joy on her face.

The Queen Mother likes their empress, she made special remarks at the birthday banquet, and gave her wine at this time. Everything showed her favor and respect. Naturally, the slaves and maids who followed her were also very happy.

"Put it on the table." Peng Qingyin let Lian Meng comb her hair, a little absent-mindedly.

"Why is the empress unhappy?" Lian Xin couldn't help but ask.

Peng Qingyin came back to her senses and smiled: "How can you be considered happy? I am doing nothing but holding the pot of wine in my arms and waiting for Your Majesty to come. How can I be considered happy?"

What she said was so vivid that even Lian Xin and Lian Meng couldn't help laughing.

"I can hear your laughter from afar."

Ning Zhao walked in directly without letting anyone know.

"His Majesty."

Peng Qingyin stood up quickly and saluted Ning Zhao with a red face.

"No courtesy." Ning Zhao raised his hand, and it wasn't until Peng Qingyin stood up that he saw her attire clearly.

This was the first time he had seen clear water look like hibiscus.

"Your Majesty..." Her long hair was draped over her shoulders like a waterfall. Peng Qingyin subconsciously stretched out her hand to wrap around the ends of her hair, "I have lost my decency."

From her point of view, Ning Zhao's treatment of her since she entered the palace was no different from how she treated her father - after all, there was no such emperor who would ask her to "investigate the case" when treating a new concubine who entered the palace.

But it doesn't matter to her, she is the daughter of the Peng family, and the daughters of the Peng family have their own character.

Her father was in the front dynasty and she was in the harem, it was the same.

But today is clearly different.

The Queen Mother had mentioned something to her before in Cining Palace, but somehow it suddenly appeared in her mind. Coupled with the words that the Queen Mother had meant during the birthday banquet, she felt more and more Feeling uncomfortable all over.

Not only was her heart beating wildly, but her eyes were also inoperable - she could no longer talk to Ning Zhao calmly as usual.

As the daughter of the Peng family, how could she be so disrespectful?

As soon as such thoughts emerged, the boiling blood in her body calmed down; she later felt a little embarrassed - these thin and delicate clothes, this long hair casually scattered, the lights in the palace were lit at some point. Sweet... She lowered her head in embarrassment, and then saw her feet.

It was a hot summer day, so the bed shoes were made of the softest and thinnest material. She was not wearing socks, and a pair of jade feet were half-stepping on the bed shoes, revealing half of her feet that were as white as lotus roots.

Women's feet are delicate and should not be easily shown in front of others.

She was so frivolous today, so...like she was deliberately seducing.

Peng Qingyin felt even more ashamed.

"It's rare to see you so nervous." Ning Zhao was a little surprised.

After all, ever since Peng Qingyin entered the palace, she has been acting extremely young and mature, and her words and deeds are all impeccable; even when he asked her to investigate Yun Yuwei's wound, a 16-year-old girl not only realized the real reason, He even boldly speculated on his thoughts and proposed a solution that satisfied him.

Such a woman actually has moments of panic.

"I have lost my decency." Peng Qingyin swore that she had never been so abnormal in her life.Ning Zhao looked at her deeply, and her heartbeat that had just calmed down became crazy again.

After a long time, Ning Zhao finally smiled: "You have been taking care of the Queen Mother these days, and you managed the birthday banquet so well. Thank you for your hard work."

"This is my concubine's duty," Peng Qingyin did not take any credit, "I would like to thank you for your love and affection."

"You don't have to hold yourself back all the time." Ning Zhao gestured towards her and pointed to his side, "Come over here and sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Peng Qingyin sat down on the armchair on the side of the table. She only sat down a little. Her back was straight and she still looked very nervous.

"I'm not a master," Ning Zhao sneered, "It looks like I'm going to take a test on you."

These words were somewhat playful, and even Peng Qingyin couldn't help but smile a little.

"If Your Majesty is the master," Peng Qingyin smiled, "I will have some confidence."

She has been smart since she was a child, and has a photographic memory for reading. Her father is strict but not rigid. The girls in the family have to go to school just like the boys, but the girls don't have to learn how to make a fuss.

It happened that her brother was playful when he was young and didn't pay much attention to his writing. After being scolded by his master, he was scolded by his father. She was still young and not sensible, so she followed the other brothers and sisters and laughed at her brother. However, she refused to accept the scolding from her brother and wrote it herself. I wrote an article with my brother's name and submitted it, and actually won praises from my master.

The elder brother asked her to do it for him, and the master praised his father for his rapid progress. The father was overjoyed and took the exam for her brother in school. Only then did the matter of writing for him come to light.

Master Peng regretted this and often said that if she were the son-in-law, the Peng family would have successors.

But she is not a boy.

After entering the palace, she often thought that the harem was no different from the previous dynasty. Her father was an official in the previous dynasty, and she was the same in the harem.

But today, facing Ning Zhao, she finally realized that it was different after all.

"I'm not that scary." Ning Zhao didn't dislike Peng Qingyin. Even though she had some unclear connection with the Queen Mother, it didn't matter.

She had shown him her sincerity before, and he also understood that it was too difficult for her to do it in the harem, between him and the Queen Mother.

But there is no way, Peng Guanyi is from the Queen Mother's side.

Now that she has entered the harem, she should have understood the difficulties she faced from the beginning.

"Your Majesty is not scary," Peng Qingyin shook her head, "It's just that I can't resist the dragon's power."

Ning Zhao smiled slightly.

Although the little girl is not candid, her speech is very nice, and because she is young, even the most exaggerated words are not so boring when she says them, but have a different kind of pleasure.

For a moment, Ning Zhao's eyes fell on the bottle of wine on the table.

"This is a gift from the Queen Mother." Peng Qingyin noticed Ning Zhao's gaze and slowly explained after a long while.

Ning Zhao nodded, but made no move.

Peng Qingyin slowly picked up the wine flask and was about to pour some wine.

The Queen Mother's words lingered in her mind again, her hand shook slightly and the wine spilled out of the cup.

"Your Majesty," she finally put down the wine bottle, picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped the spilled wine, and then looked at Ning Zhao, her cheeks were slightly red, but her eyes were infinitely clear, "Your Majesty drank at the birthday banquet today. I drank a lot of wine, and it is inconvenient to drink any more at this time. I ordered the kitchen to prepare sobering soup for Your Majesty."
