Rebirth Nunnery

Chapter 103 Snow Drunk Past
Back in Yunyuefang, the news that Ding Jiayi was favored by Concubine Wan quickly spread like wings.

Concubine Wan, who is actually in power in the current harem, is respected and feared by everyone, and the same is true in Yunyuefang.

Concubine Wan looked at Ding Jiayi differently, which made many people in Yunyuefang feel strange.

Ding Jiayi's rise was too fast, and she became a sixth-rank female official in less than two months. If she climbed up to Concubine Wan again, wouldn't she go to a higher level?

Soon, the gate of Ding Jiayi's side hall was full of people, who wanted to beg her, and who wanted to find out the news, everywhere.

But none of them could see Ding Jiayi's face, and only Wu Mingxi showed up.

At this moment, Ding Jiayi is in the room of Fangzhu Lingxiao.

They didn't lie to Concubine Wan, Ling Xiao was indeed ill, and the illness was not serious.

At this moment, she was lying on the bed, her face was pale without a trace of blood, and she was extremely weak.

It was not the first time that Ding Jiayi had seen her like this. These days, she came here often, nominally to listen to Fangzhu's teachings.

But even so, every time Ding Jiayi sees Ling Xiao like this, for some reason, he always feels extra terrified in his heart.

There was no reason for this feeling, but it was so strong.

"Cough cough..."

Ling Xiao coughed a few times, and the maid beside her hurriedly brought a cup of warm tea.

After taking a sip of warm tea to get rid of the discomfort in his throat, Ling Xiao couldn't help but sighed, shook his head and smiled wryly.

"It's really sick. I didn't expect my illness to become so serious."

Ding Jiayi stood in front of her. Hearing her words, he couldn't help but said, "Master, you will recover soon. It's just a cold. Has the hospital sent an imperial doctor to come over?"

Ling Xiao waved his hand, not caring about his condition.

Speaking of which, during her illness, only Ding Jiayi came to visit her every day, and the others only came once in a while.

Ding Jiayi didn't do it to please Ling Xiao, but Ling Xiao treated her well after all, and visiting her was a matter of course.

Ling Xiao handed over all the affairs in Yunyuefang to several other female officials, so he was very light, but he often talked to Ding Jiayi about how to get along in the harem.

These experiences are very useful to Ding Jiayi, and she is more grateful in her heart.

"Concubine Wan is a cruel person, as long as she wants to do, there is nothing she can't do." Ling Xiao said suddenly.

This is also the biggest question that Ding Jiayi wants to ask today.

Why did Concubine Wan show her favor?

Her status is low, she has no background, so it is impossible for her to be favored by Concubine Wan!

Ling Xiao seemed to see the doubt in Ding Jiayi's eyes, and couldn't help sighing when he thought of some possibility.

"Do you know how Concubine Wan fell in love with His Majesty in the first place?"

Ding Jiayi shook her head, how could she know what happened several years ago.

There was a strange look on Ling Xiao's face, and he said, "Concubine Wan is favored for many reasons, but the most fundamental reason is because she looks like a person!"

Ding Jiayi's heart moved, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

"The number one beauty who caused a sensation 20 years ago, Miss Qingcheng." A trace of emotion flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes, "Your Majesty was very infatuated with Miss Qingcheng back then, and Concubine Wan's eyebrows are very similar to Miss Qingcheng."

When Ling Xiao said this, Ding Jiayi immediately understood.

When she was in Qinghua Palace before, she never raised her head to observe Concubine Wan carefully, otherwise she would definitely find out immediately.

Isn't Qingcheng just Xuezui?
How did Xuezui have such a big influence back then? Will there still be her shadow in the palace 20 years later?

At this time, Ling Xiao looked at Ding Jiayi and said again.

"Concubine Wan is favored by His Majesty because of this, but now, there is another person who is more like Miss Qingcheng than her..."

Before Ling Xiao finished speaking, Ding Jiayi was startled.

She immediately understood where the strangeness that had been lingering in her heart came from!
"You mean, me?"

Ding Jiayi pointed at herself, very surprised.

Ling Xiao nodded, an undetectable abnormality flashed in his eyes.

"The trip to Dingxiangbo Mansion in a month's time, be careful!"

After saying this, Ling Xiao seemed to be very tired and closed his eyes. Ding Jiayi didn't want to disturb him anymore, so he got up and left.

When Ding Jiayi returned to his side hall, he told Wu Mingxi not to be disturbed by others, and then went into the house and did not come out for a long time.

No one knows that there is a small door at the back of the side hall, which is located in a very secret place and leads to an unknown place.

Ding Jiayi quietly pushed open the small door without disturbing anyone, and soon came to the cold palace.

The coldness in the cold palace was as usual, without the slightest trace of human habitation.

The weather is getting colder, and there is no monthly exception in the cold palace. Ding Jiayi quietly brought some firewood, quilts, etc. to Xuezui.

Xue Zui didn't say anything, but Ding Jiayi's delicate thoughts still made her quite fond of him.

Found Xuezui in one of the palaces of Lenggong, Ding Jiayi found that her face seemed to become whiter, transparent without a trace of blood, and with her long snow-white hair, she was even less like a mortal, like a fairy who would drift away at any time generally.

For some reason, Ding Jiayi felt a trace of worry and uneasiness in his heart.

Xuezui herself didn't care much, seeing Ding Jiayi coming, a smile appeared on her face.

"You came at a good time. How is the piano music that I taught you a few days ago?"

During the time Ding Jiayi studied under Xuezui, besides dancing, he also started to dabble in other dances.

Qinqi, calligraphy and painting, these four things need a lot of time to practice, but Ding Jiayi thinks that he has no talent in calligraphy and painting, so he learned the first two.It's just that she has only just started, and Xue Zui was secretly amazed at the speed she learned.

"Ding Lingqu? I can play it roughly, but I still can't grasp some details."

Ding Jiayi replied.

Things have been busy in Yunyuefang recently, and Ding Jiayi spent much less time practicing piano, but she didn't explain much.

Xue Zui seemed to be aware of the changes in the palace, her eyes moved, and she pulled Ding Jiayi into the palace.

It is said that this side hall was specially built for Xuezui at first, as a place for her to showcase her talents.

Although many years have passed, most of the palace has been dilapidated, but the general architecture is still intact.

Ding Jiayi followed Xuezui to a square hall. There was nothing in the hall, but there was a dusty piano case.

On the piano case, there is a piano.

As soon as Ding Jiayi's eyes fell on the piano, he couldn't look away immediately.

It was a dark brown guqin, with circles of light-colored patterns all over it, and the seven strings were glowing with silver light, which looked extraordinary at first glance.

Xue Zui looked at the qin, and when she thought of the past, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"This is the famous piano that he sent people to search for and found all over the place. It's a pity that I can no longer play it now. It will make this piano dusty. I will give it to you!"

Hearing this, Ding Jiayi couldn't help raising his head, seeing Xue Zui's eyes, couldn't help asking.

"You mean His Majesty today?"

Xue Zui's expression froze, and his eyebrows frowned, as if he was very unwilling to hear this name.

"That's not what you should know."

With a flick of his sleeves, Xue Zui turned around and left.

Ding Jiayi knew that he had crossed the line, so he couldn't help sticking out his tongue, and then all his attention was focused on that piano.

When the night was getting dark, Ding Jiayi was ready to leave.

Originally, she wanted to ask about Concubine Wan, but after thinking about it, Xue Zui probably didn't care who Concubine Wan was at all, and probably wouldn't be able to find anything if she asked her.

Besides, Xuezui seemed to be in a bad mood, so Ding Jiayi could only leave temporarily and come back next time.

Yunyuefang was bustling and noisy as usual, this time the harem cleaning did not involve Yunyuefang, everyone still practiced and performed as usual.

For the birthday banquet in Ding Xiangbo Mansion, Ding Jiayi put aside other things for the time being and devoted himself to practicing the Crane Dance.

Ding Jiayi was not very satisfied with the crane dance performed at the Wanshou Festival banquet before, so in the next month, Ding Jiayi spent a lot of effort to improve this dance.

It's not easy to change the dance alone, but the most indispensable thing in Yunyuefang is the dancer and the like. Ding Jiayi's reputation is soaring now, and as soon as she opened her mouth, many people immediately came to help.

In just half a month, this group of crane dances has reached perfection.

And soon, a month passed, and with the gradual stability in the palace, Ding Xiangbo's birthday came so quietly.
