Rebirth Nunnery

Chapter 121
When Ding Jiayi led the dancers onto the stage and began to perform, she didn't know that the moment King Lin'an saw her, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

The dinner was unexpectedly calm, except for the occasional conversation between the emperor and King Lin'an, almost no one else spoke.

Even Concubine Wan, who is now so powerful in the harem, put away her edge in front of King Lin'an, and acted like a docile junior.

After the performance, Ding Jiayi was about to take people away when he heard the King of Lin'an speak suddenly.

"Your Majesty, is this the new beauty of Yunyuefang?"

This sentence stunned everyone present.

King Lin'an has never been a lecherous person, how could he ask such a sentence in this situation?
The emperor was puzzled, but his expression remained unchanged. He laughed twice and waved to Ding Jiayi and the others.

"It's rare that Uncle San is interested. These are all dancers from Yunyuefang. If Uncle San likes it, he can choose a few to serve."

Hearing this, everyone behind Ding Jiayi couldn't help but have different thoughts.

Although the King of Lin'an is old, after all, the power is there. If he can enter the Palace of the Prince of Lin'an, it will be a good place for these dancers.

King Lin'an laughed a few times, stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty loves her so much, but the old minister is old, so he is not blessed to enjoy such a beauty."

The corner of the emperor's mouth curled up, he waved his hands and said, "Third Uncle, you don't have to be polite, he's just a few dancers and court ladies."

King Lin'an looked around all the dancers, and finally fell on Ding Jiayi, with an inexplicable gleam in his eyes.

Feeling his gaze, Ding Jiayi couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.

Before she could react, she heard the voice of King Lin'an again.

"What's your name?"

Ding Jiayi raised his head subconsciously, and as expected, he met King Lin'an's gaze.

"Servant Ding Wan."

Ding Jiayi hurriedly knelt down and replied, with her lowered head, it was impossible to see the anxiety flashing in her eyes at the moment.

"Ding Wan...that's a good name..." King Lin'an said in a low voice, with a smile on his face, and asked again, "Do you work in Yunyuefang?"

"My lord, this servant is a sixth-rank female official of Yunyuefang." Ding Jiayi did not raise her head, but still replied in a low voice.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for female officials who are naturalized in the palace to leave the palace.All the maids and officials in the palace, strictly speaking, are the emperor's women, and no one else can be contaminated.

This is also the main reason why those court ladies who have affairs with outside men are severely punished.

Although Yunyuefang does not belong to the category of the harem, this article is also applicable to them.

Naturally, those dancers and singers are not listed here.

In the past, Ding Jiayi was not afraid to show herself, because no matter how famous her reputation was, as long as she disagreed, no one could take her away forcibly.

But the King of Lin'an in front of him is an exception...

Ding Jiayi felt her heart beating extremely fast, bit her lips lightly, feeling uneasy.

If he was taken away by the King of Lin'an, the chances of him wanting to enter the palace were extremely slim.

Just when Ding Jiayi was feeling anxious, Concubine Wan who was sitting beside her suddenly spoke first.

"Your Majesty, I know this female official and concubine too! It is said that the owner of Yunyuefang thinks highly of her, and the prince's vision is really high!"

Concubine Wan covered her mouth with a light smile and said something.

It seemed like a random sentence, but it moved the hearts of many people present.

Ling Xiao, the owner of Yunyuefang, has a special status, and his status in the emperor's heart even exceeds that of some concubines in the harem.

"Really? Look up."

The emperor looked at Ding Jiayi who was slowly raising his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Ding Jiayi kept his head down before, he couldn't see her face clearly, so he didn't recognize her.And being reminded by Concubine Wan, he immediately recalled the song that Ding Jiayi sang at the Longevity Festival that day.

Suddenly, the emperor frowned slightly.

The honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the words of the golden mouth, the emperor must never go back on his words, but at this moment, looking at Ding Jiayi's beautiful face, the emperor felt a little bit reluctant.

Concubine Wan was the first to notice the emperor's change, and the corners of her covered mouth curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile.

In the hall, there was a sudden silence for a moment.

The moment Ding Jiayi raised his head, the gleam in King Lin'an's eyes flickered, but he suddenly changed his mind.

"Your Majesty, since that's the case, it's not easy for an old minister to win someone's love." Lin'an Wang said with a smile, "However, Yunyuefang performed well tonight, and I didn't wear anything with me. This jade pendant has been with me for many years. Take it as a reward from you, Ding Wan!"

As he spoke, King Lin'an took off a jade pendant from his waist and waved to Ding Jiayi.

Ding Jiayi was stunned for a moment, and soon came back to his senses, and stepped forward to bow down again: "Thank you, my lord, for the reward."

Taking the jade pendant from the other party, Ding Jiayi didn't have time to take a second look, and immediately returned it.

Ding Jiayi turned a blind eye to the countless jealous, surprised, and envious eyes around her.

However, unlike her calm expression, at this moment, she was still a little uneasy.

"Yunyuefang is doing well, come and watch."

At this time, the emperor waved his hand, and also gave a lot of rewards.

"Ding Wan, both Your Majesty and the prince value you so much, this is really a blessing from your previous life!" Concubine Wan said with a light smile.

"Maybe there will be greater blessings in the future, sister Wanfei, don't you think so?" A concubine next to Wanfei rushed to speak.

Ding Jiayi's face changed slightly.

"Your Majesty and the prince have both rewarded you, and it's not easy for your concubines to fall behind!" Concubine Wan pulled out a phoenix hairpin from her head with a smile, and looked at Ding Jiayi, "This hairpin is my favorite, and I will give it to you today. You!"

The phoenix hairpin is entwined with gold threads and embellished with red and green gemstones, giving it an air of opulence.

Ding Jiayi's scalp tingled for a while.

Fengzan, this is not something that casual people can wear. In the entire harem, only the Queen and Concubine Wan can be so casual.She is only a sixth-rank female official, if she really accepts this phoenix hairpin, doesn't it mean that she has ulterior motives?
But under such circumstances, she had no choice but to accept King Lin'an's reward, and she couldn't refuse the emperor's reward. If she refused Concubine Wan's reward, it would be a slap in the face in public!

Ding Jiayi is in a dilemma.

Concubine Wan did not allow her to refuse, and directly asked the maid behind her to hand it over to Ding Jiayi.

Immediately afterwards, the other concubines followed suit, and one after another, top-quality jewelry fell into Ding Jiayi's hands.

Even with Ding Jiayi's calm mind, seeing the brilliance of this jewel, he couldn't help his heart beat faster.

Taking a deep breath, Ding Jiayi fell to his knees respectfully again.

"If it wasn't for Master Lingxiao, I really want you to come to Qinghua Palace!" Concubine Wan said meaningfully.

Ding Jiayi was almost numb, his expression remained unchanged, and he thanked him politely.

When she walked out of the Xianhua Palace with everyone, she was still in a daze, until the congratulations of other dancers brought her back to her senses.

Gathering his mind, Ding Jiayi stuffed the things in Wu Mingxi and Qin Wanxia's hands, and waved: "Go back!"

Wu Mingxi and Qin Wanxia were taken aback, and followed her cautiously.

Returning to Yunyuefang, Ding Jiayi led the two back to his side hall with a wave of the crowd.

"Mingxi, record and put away these things one by one." Ding Jiayi didn't take a second look, as if these things were worthless in her eyes.

Wu Mingxi was a little surprised, and couldn't help but said, "Sister, don't you want to take a look?"

"It's nothing to look at. These things are gifts from the nobles, and you can't wear them casually. You just put them away."

Although Wu Mingxi was innocent, she could tell that Ding Jiayi was in a bad mood, so she couldn't help but look at Qin Wanxia.

Qin Wanxia shook her head lightly, and led Wu Mingxi into the inner room.

Ding Jiayi sat alone in the room, silent for a long time, but his expression became more and more indifferent, with a hint of worry and anxiety in his eyes.

She has never worried about her own safety, she is in danger everywhere in this palace, she is not afraid of any risks at every step.

Because she believes that no matter what difficulties she can get out of.

But this time, she really felt the crisis.

This crisis did not originate from the emperor, but from the King of Lin'an.

Ding Jiayi didn't know what was going on, but King Lin'an looked at her differently, which made her feel dangerous intuitively.

There was also a hint of fear.

With so many thoughts in her heart, she couldn't figure it out. Ding Jiayi leaned on the table. At this moment, she finally revealed the weakness of a little girl.

One hand reached into the skirt of the clothes, and pulled out a red string with a jade pendant tied to it.

The palm-sized jade pendant was worn close to the body all the time, carrying a gentle warmth and fragrance.

Ding Jiayi's eyes fell on the word behind the jade pendant.

"Min."
