court ladies begging for joy

Chapter 13

The night in the palace was extraordinarily deep.After the red wall and glazed tiles were swallowed up by the night, the entire palace was completely devoid of color, sinking like the bottom of the sea.

Except for the night watchman shouting and ringing the bell, and teams of patrolling guards, there was nothing else to do.

The whole palace is like a trapped beast, ready to go.

In the backyard of the Punishment Department, there is a small courtyard that is secluded.Nie Jinyan would sleep here when he was not on duty at night.

Nie Jinyan's bedroom is very simple, boxy, without any partitions, a bed of pineapple wood, covered with light blue bedding, not even simple curtains.There is a large wardrobe on the right side by the window, and in front of the large wardrobe is a simple desk and two chairs.

The layout and furnishings are so crude, even inferior to a eunuch or maid of honor in the palace, not to mention that it does not match his reputation as the chief executive of the imperial court.

Nie Jinyan had just come out of the shower next door, his long black hair was hanging behind his shoulders, and there were still drops of water that hadn't been wiped off. His thin and tall body was casually wrapped in a white cotton robe.

After he opened the door and entered the house, he sent away a young eunuch who was waiting behind him.

He has eccentricities. He has been in the palace for so many years. After having his own independent residence, he doesn't like others entering his room, and he never let people wait on him. He leans on him like Wen Xiaowan, but he can still breathe It is rare to be alive.

Because his hair was still wet, Nie Jinyan entered the room and sat on the chair at the desk, reclining lazily. It was completely different from his serious image during the day. His eyes were different from ordinary people, bursting out. His idle eyes fell on the purse on the desk.

Wen Xiaowan's slightly savage, but actually cynical face quietly surfaced.

Among the women in the palace, Nie Jinyan can see through his self-confidence, but Wen Xiaowan, he can't even understand a smile.

He stretched out his hand, and his fingers were one knuckle longer than ordinary people, like eagle claws. Although thin and protruding, they were full of strength. The index finger and middle finger firmly grasped the hanging net of the purse, and dragged it to the palm of his hand. Move to the front.

Nie Jinyan has seen the pattern embroidered on it many times in the past few days. It is a popular style in the palace. There is nothing special about it. There are several embroidery methods on the left and right. After that, he picked out several places where the embroidery was wrong.

It is as meticulous as picking out Wen Xiaowan's shortcomings, strengths, and doubts.At the end of the pick, Nie Jinyan's eyes slanted up, and even the corners of his mouth grinned, revealing his white teeth like animals.

Nie Jinyan is a serious and prudent person.The expression of laughing is extremely extravagant on his face, but the more this kind of person, the more charming he is when he smiles, the random sporadic bits are even more enchanting and strange than this dark night.

In the middle of the night, Nie Jinyan was not the only one who was awake in the palace.In the deep night, most people in the palace suffer from the same problem - insomnia.

In the main hall of the main hall of Yongxiao Palace, Huang Peiying, the concubine of the concubine Huang Peiying, was lighting a lamp and embroidering the "Diamond Sutra", accompanied by Wen Xiaowan, sorting out the money for her.

"Without Sigong Nie's guidance, how would we know that there is still this secret affair," Huang Peiying's finger holding the needle deftly passed through the yellow brocade on the embroidery frame, and said in a low voice to Wen Xiaowan who was sitting beside her: " I really didn't expect that the Empress Dowager's birthday this year will coincide with the death of the Emperor's birth mother."

Empress Dowager Bo's birthday is different from that of most people in Jin'an, because her lunar birthday coincides with the ghost day of the [-]th day of the seventh lunar month, so she never celebrates her lunar birthday, and only follows her solar birthday. Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager's birthday in the Gregorian calendar this year coincided with the anniversary of the death of the Emperor Long Yao's birth mother.

Although he is the first emperor of Jin'an, Long Yao has many things that he can't do, for example, he can't mention his biological mother in any public occasion, let alone public memorial and mourning.

The distinction between concubine and concubine is especially clear in the royal family.

Long Yao was able to become the emperor among the many sons of the emperor because he was named under the name of the empress dowager Bo, so the mother who gave birth to him in the past is a taboo that he can never mention, even if he is not in the belly of the empress dowager. Crawling out, he must also regard himself as born this way.His identity can be justified, and his throne can be preserved forever.

This is also the real reason why he is clearly at odds with the empress dowager, but still maintains his superficial filial piety and motherly kindness.

Long Yao couldn't mention his mother in front of others, but he tried his best to restrain himself behind him, but it was still inevitable that he would show his longing for his biological mother.This is human nature, especially since he can't get maternal love from his adoptive mother, and he can often see the adoptive mother's love for his own son, this kind of feeling grows abnormally.

Nie Jinyan is a person who has served Long Yao for a long time, and his thoughts are not as meticulous as ordinary people. Those things that others can't notice, can't escape his eyes.

What's rare is that he is willing to reveal these things and point them out to Wen Xiaowan.

Huang Peiying thought to herself, such a hard-hearted person like Nie Jinyan really fell in love with Wan'er.Sigh, poor Wan'er sacrificed too much for her, entrusting her whole life to the eunuch, if she still can't make a name for herself, who can she be worthy of, and can't help but think of her mother outside the palace...

"This "Diamond Sutra" is full of everything, and there is a metaphor of transcending the dead. When the empress presents a gift, there is a pun, and there is Nie..." Wen Xiaowan almost called out Nie Jinyan's name. After a while, "With the help of Company Nie, I will definitely be able to regain the favor of the emperor."

During the day, she and Nie Jinyan were in the little mustache, and the quarrel was not for nothing. She did not forget that it was a serious matter to do.

Although Nie Jinyan was paralyzed and still didn't believe her, he still helped her at critical times, and answered all the questions she didn't understand without any difficulty.

Only then did she understand why the offering of Buddhist scriptures on the empress dowager's birthday in the past would not attract the favor of Emperor Longyao of Jin'an, but this time it would definitely.

"I hope," Huang Peiying frowned, gritted her silver teeth, and said coldly, "I can't let people step on my head, even my slaves can't protect me."

After Wen Xiaowan told Huang Peiying that Nie Jinyan revealed the secrets of the Buddhist scriptures for him, she did not forget to tell Huang Peiying that she was bullied by Xianpei Liu Fanghan.

Wen Xiaowan is by no means a complaint from the wicked, she is inspiring Huang Peiying's fighting spirit in another way.

She knew early on that Huang Peiying was the heroine of this novel, and of course she knew early on that according to the original book, Huang Peiying was still a while away from being favored again, and her acting path changed, and this day would be full of uncertainties.

Whether this period of time is long or not, in the long palace fight, it is definitely a passing moment, and whether it is short or not, it is enough for this little female partner to die several times without knowing it.

Cherishing life is everyone's responsibility—while she is relying on Nie Jinyan, she still has to find her own way of life.She doesn't want to be buried in this palace at a young age, before she dominates the harem and wins the favor of men.

"Your Majesty, don't say that, it's because the slaves are stupid and can't protect your Majesty well,"

Wen Xiaowan is glad that in her previous life, except for pressing the door and picking the lock, she stayed at home all the time. While watching GV, she also watched some court dramas.

Seeing the truth in times of adversity, Wen Xiaowan had a busy day, was wronged and bullied, and stayed up all night by Huang Peiying's side, accompanying her to sort out money and embroider Buddhist scriptures.

Huang Peiying's heart was filled with enthusiasm, she inserted a silver needle into the edge of the brocade, and grabbed Wen Xiaowan's hand, "Wait for the day when we'll make it through, I will definitely marry you off beautifully, and find the best man in the world." , I won’t let you suffer such humiliation again.”

humiliation?Perhaps in the eyes of everyone, it is not a good thing for a young Wen Xiaowan to surrender to an eunuch, but Wen Xiaowan herself thinks that Nie Jinyan is good except for having no little dick, isn't it just that there is no little dick?What a big deal.

Of course, her shocking thoughts couldn't find resonance with Huang Peiying, so she could only smile vaguely, pretending to be as shy as a young girl should be, "Your maidservant only obeys your mother's orders."

Huang Peiying nodded gratified, "It's just that I'm going to suffer for you now. Please be patient with Company Nie. I know that he...has a bad temper..."

Wen Xiaowan lowered her head slightly, as if agreeing with Huang Peiying's point of view. In fact, what she was thinking was that it was not accurate to describe Nie Jinyan with 'bad temper'. Nie Jinyan's temper could not be described by temper. Is the volcano that sinks at the bottom of the year good?

"Your Majesty, worry too much, Mr. Nie... Mr. Nie treats his servants very well!"

Let go of your temper and put it aside, this should be said, Wen Xiaowan still said it out of conscience.During the day, she was so angry that Nie Jinyan's shoulders were shaking. This man sent her back to Yongxiao Palace in the same way as Xiao Fuzi sent her back to the palace last time after pointing out the profound meaning of the offering.

Huang Peiying and Wen Xiaowan are two masters and servants. No one would have thought that what they said would reach the Punishment Department and Nie Jinyan's ears within an hour.

"Did she really say that?"

Nie Jinyan was still holding the purse in his hand, and his hair was already dry. When someone came in, the night wind at the door was blown, and a few strands blew up, and a few strands just covered his face, covering his face. His eyes shattered his profound and complex vision.

"Back to the company, that's what Aunt Wan'er said."

The subordinate repeated it again, Nie Jinyan didn't say anything, and waved him to go out.

He didn't brush away the hair that was in the way, only his broken eyes fell on the sachet in his hand, it's best not to lie to him, it's best.
