court ladies begging for joy

Chapter 20

In the past, in the time and space when Wen Xiaowan was born, Wen Xiaowan's senior brother once said to Wen Xiaowan: A girl like you cannot marry, and even if she does, she will be blaming others.

Wen Xiaowan has been thinking about this sentence for a long time, so much so that when watching GV, she is not in the mood to spend a lot of money to go to the hotel and buy some live-action version. She just stays at home and watches the Japanese drama version.

Now that Wen Xiaowan came to this novel by accident, she still remembers this sentence. Seeing that Nie Jinyan seems to have the intention of accepting her, her troubles are really flooding, don't miss that this village does not have this shop .

This night, the news came from Qianqing Palace that Jin'an Emperor Longyao stayed in Qianqing Palace to handle the government affairs, so he was not required to hand over the sign in the respect room.The masters of all the palaces lost their hope, except for Yiqing Palace, all the palaces closed early to rest.

After Wen Xiaowan accompanied her concubine Huang Peiying, seeing that there was no one around, she informed Huang Peiying, and Huang Peiying nodded imperceptibly.

After Wen Xiaowan put down the curtain for her, she tugged on Wen Xiaowan's sleeves, without poking her head out, only through the curtain, she said in a very small voice: "It's also good to check your mouth, you know what I'm thinking. .”

Wen Xiaowan naturally understood that what Huang Peiying meant was about the affairs of the Yiqing Palace. If she couldn't inquire about it, then don't force her to inquire about it, so as not to cause trouble. However, she was still interested in knowing what the miserable end of Qianmei was.

In this emperor's harem, even if other people's disasters may not be beneficial to oneself, listening to them will relieve boredom and entertain life.

What's more, Huang Peiying was skipped by a humble and beautiful fairy before, and this beam was forged early.

In the previous paragraph, Huang Peiying was unlucky and was laughed at by others.The feng shui took turns, Huang Peiying Xianyu turned over, and wanted to take advantage of the excitement to see what happened to the people who laughed at her a while ago.

In the evening, the little thing that Jin Lan came back from inquiring, obviously couldn't make her enjoy herself to the fullest.

Women in the harem, no matter how pure and splendid they were before entering the palace.After entering the palace, there is a tendency to go further and further down the road of perversion, and no one can stop it.

Wen Xiaowan didn't say much, and silently exited Huang Peiying's room, told the two little maids who were watching the night outside the bedroom, and then walked quietly from a small path to the small side gate at the entrance of Yongxiao Palace. , slipped out quietly.

Yiqing Palace and Yongxiao Palace are both located to the west of Jin'an State Palace, the difference is that one occupies the southwest corner and the other occupies the northwest corner.

The two palaces are located on the west side of the palace, facing north and south, not too far away.

For Wen Xiaowan, a road idiot, she was relatively optimistic.Especially in the dark, with her previous professional quality at the bottom, her sense of direction is better than in broad daylight.

In the entire palace, swallowed up by the night, when the whole fell into silence, the Yiqing Palace existed in an unharmonious manner, which cannot be described as "flying chickens and dogs jumping", and it should be regarded as "horrible".

In the brightly lit courtyard, the main hall where the lord of the Yiqing Palace and the noble concubine Qi lived, the three doors of the bedroom were wide open.

She herself sat at the head of the middle hall, dressed in a warm green feather gauze robe, with a phoenix head bun, a phoenix head inserted horizontally, a thumb-sized pearl connected by a fine gold chain, held down from the mouth of the phoenix, reflected in the light of the candle Ambilight.

Sitting on her lower left hand side is Concubine Su Yan, who came according to the imperial decree.

Different from Concubine Qi's gorgeous and charming attire, Concubine Serious is much more low-key and conservative.People in their early twenties have the desire to move closer to their thirties.

She was dressed in an ocher-brown double-breasted gauze dress, with a well-formed bun, and a hairpin inlaid with emerald green treasures inserted into the bun.People who don't know her identity saw her in this deep palace, they never imagined that she would be the concubine of the current emperor, and they had to think that she was the widow of the former emperor - those concubines.

Because the real worthy widow of the first emperor is the Empress Dowager Bo, but she is a real reverse growth, a real mistress. 60 years old still has the charm of 30 years old, no one can see that this is a widow whose husband died.

The position on the right hand side of Concubine Qi is reserved for Nie Jinyan, the chief steward who came with Concubine Su.

Nie Jinyan, however, did not sit with the master on the grounds that slaves should not sit with their masters due to the difference in dignity.He went to the outer hall dignifiedly, set up a chair with a back, and sat there.

According to Nie Jinyan's identity, it is not bad to have a place for him to stand in this nave, let alone a place to sit.But Nie Jinyan has a lot of prestige in the harem, and this time he came here on order, Qi Guifei dare not take it lightly.

Concubine Qi had a warm and charming smile on her face, but she was very responsive in her heart.This self-proclaimed slave probably never regarded himself as a slave—he wouldn't even give him face.

With Nie Jinyan's look and attitude, he didn't seem to pay attention to him as a noble concubine, let alone respect him from the bottom of his heart.Even if she gave herself a big salute, she, the person who was saluted, would not feel comfortable being respected at all.

Every time she sees Nie Jinyan, Concubine Qi always feels like she has measles all over her body.Nie Jinyan's expressionless face always gave her a sense of oppression that was about to come.She is very unhappy.

Furthermore, Nie Jinyan is a person close to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother Bo always doesn't like her very much.

Hey, there is no way, who said that in the entire harem, except for the empress dowager's niece, she has the highest status, is the most favored, and has children.

Just like this time, when the Empress Dowager celebrated her [-]th full life, she presented a pure Jade Guanyin of the South China Sea, which is half the height of a person. I still want the face I should have.

Who wants to make a fuss to the end, not to mention her noble concubine's face, she didn't even see a good meal or a smiling face, and somehow she ate "Guo Lao" and was implicated by that bitch Qianmei Ren.

The Yiqing Palace has been in trouble for a whole day, until the first watch, and the trouble has not yet come to an end.Concubine Qi looked at Nie Jinyan's appearance, if she didn't find out something substantive, she would definitely not stop.

How does she not know about the emperor's external troubles and internal troubles.The Yumen Pass is tight, and the factions in the DPRK and China are fighting fiercely, but when it comes time to use soldiers and generals, no one can stand up.Yesterday, the emperor wanted to take advantage of the empress dowager's [-]th birthday to ease the tit-for-tat confrontation between several factions in the court, but he was assassinated.

As for the emperor's sudden visit to the concubine Huang Peiying last night, she thought about it at the queen mother's birthday banquet - the concubines in the harem presented Buddhist scriptures every year, and none of the concubines would do so.

In other words, she was also negligent.

She has the deepest bond with the emperor, and has been with him the longest.The other concubines in the harem don't know about the emperor's birth mother, but she does know something.

That year when the emperor was not the emperor, but only the crown prince, one year coincided with the emperor's birth mother's memorial day, she happened to send a snack once, and seeing the emperor's depression, she even drank a few drinks with him.

It is said that she speaks the truth after drinking, and the grievances that the emperor told her about in her heart must not be false.

But how did the concubine know about this?For a while, I didn't even think of it myself.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Jia looked at such a soft and weak person, but her methods were so clever.During the confinement period, people tried their best to earn a living way to regain favor.

In the future, I'm afraid I have to take better precautions.

Nie Jinyan left his back to the two ladies sitting in the middle hall, and his front faced the courtyard where the wide open door was.

Nie Jinyan's gaze converged on his pair of long and narrow eyes, looking at his nose and heart, quietly as if he had settled down, as if not far away, the constant screams and howls did not exist .

The modest man kneeling in the middle of the courtyard had passed out once.No one poured cold water on her, and no one helped her.She woke up from a coma, but she was still kneeling on the bluestone in the courtyard, and continued to kneel.

At three o'clock, Nie Jinyan brought the eunuchs from the Punishment Department and Concubine Seriously over together, until one o'clock, the Furong Courtyard where Qianmeiren originally lived was quickly converted into a temporary execution room, and it didn't stop.

The servants in the Furong Courtyard, even the little eunuch doing odd jobs were included, none of them were spared, and they were punished one by one.

Last night, Empress Dowager Bo's accusation was still ringing in Nie Jinyan's ears.

Is it because his wings are hardened, and he always likes to do things that go against his master's will, or because he has gradually become full-fledged, he has become a threat to his original master, and he is becoming less and less trusted.This question is really contradictory and difficult to say.

There was a bitter taste in Nie Jinyan's heart.At this moment, he felt that his heart and mouth were filled with this bitter taste that he couldn't swallow no matter what.

His hand touched his chest unconsciously, the bag of puffs that Wen Xiaowan gave him yesterday morning is still there.He didn't have time to eat it, and he didn't have time to put it back to his residence, so he kept it like this until now.

He still remembered that the thing melted in the mouth and was cloyingly sweet.

In the past, he would not even take a look at such a small thing, let alone allow others to stuff it into his mouth, let alone not wanting to eat it, but still holding it in his arms.

After touching half a cup of tea, it seems that my mouth and heart are not so bitter.

Nie Jinyan slowly opened his restrained eyes, and told Xiao Xizi who was standing beside him: "The two ladies are probably hungry too, go and pass some meals to the two ladies."

Xiao Xizi lowered her eyebrows in response, and went out backwards.

As soon as Xiao Xizi went out, Xiao Luzi, who was in charge of torture at the Furong Courtyard, trotted over. After paying respects to Nie Jinyan, he walked to Nie Jinyan's side and whispered to Nie Jinyan in a very low voice.

Nie Jinyan's two slightly slanted upward eyebrows gradually frowned. After Xiao Luzi finished speaking, his eyes moved slightly, and he asked softly, "Did he confess that?"

Xiao Luzi nodded and confirmed, "Yes, Sigong, Liansheng that coward, three sticks down, recruited all of them, but he doesn't know much, judging by his young age, he can't even be considered superficial."

Nie Jinyan waved his hand, "That's enough. At this season, I reckon that the emperor doesn't want to interrogate too much."

If it is true as what Lian Sheng said, this matter is not an ordinary trouble, and there are too many involved, no matter which party it is, if it is determined to investigate to the end, there may be many lives involved.

The world is not benevolent, and treats everything as a straw dog; the sage is not benevolent, and treats the people as a straw dog.How could he have any compassion for a useless person living in the palace, but he was so clean after death, but he didn't want to see another child grow up and live like him.

At this time, this was not the only thing that was imminent. Xiao Shouzi hadn't come back yet, so things didn't go smoothly.

When Nie Jinyan was thinking about whether he should go there in person, Xiao Fuzi hurried in from outside like a mouse chased by a cat.

Nie Jinyan's brows were already frowned, and the frown deepened. He was about to reprimand Xiao Fuzi, but Xiao Fuzi forgot to be polite to him, and ran directly to his side, leaning into his ear , said in a low voice: "Back to the company, Aunt Wan'er is here, waiting for you at the corner gate."

Xiao Luzi, who was in the house, had automatically stepped back a step away - which shows that Nie Jinyan's tutor is very good.

Nie Jinyan let go of his frowning brows, and the rest of his expression remained unchanged. He was silent for a moment, and said to Xiaoluzi: "Go and report the situation you found out during your interrogation to the two empresses. I have something to go out, if the two empresses want to ask about it, you can say that I have gone to the execution room."

At this point in the trial of the matter, the matter of the Furong Courtyard of Yiqing Palace is considered to be settled.

It's not up to him to decide how to send Concubine Qi, Qianmei and those other people.Since Concubine Solemn followed, after the interrogation process, it would be much better for her to report back to the emperor than to go by herself.Even if this task is handed in, later... let's talk about the future.

Wen Xiaowan snuggled at the corner of the corner door, kicked the palm-high wooden threshold with her toes, but looked into the corner door.

Tonight's Yiqing Palace, due to the arrival of Solemn Concubine and Nie Jinyan, the entire staff has changed.

This corner door, which Nie Jinyan thought was inconspicuous and easy to get in and out of, was requisitioned temporarily.Nie Jinyan expelled all the people from Yiqing Palace at Jiaomen who used to be here, and let his neighbors go.Xiaofuzi is one of them.

Speaking of Wen Xiaowan didn't come to Jiaomen, she was looking for the back door to Yiqing Palace.For the profession she was born in, she always felt that the back door was safer.Who knew that when Lu Chi had an attack, he missed the back door, but stumbled upon this corner door by mistake, it could be considered fate.

When Nie Jinyan walked to the corner gate, the little Fuzi who came with him had voluntarily hidden himself in a corner that was not annoying.

Since the last time he asked Wen Xiaowan what was the relationship with Nie Jinyan, and Wen Xiaowan replied "Master", his three views and five senses have been completely shattered in front of Wen Xiaowan, and he can no longer organize it.

"Why are you here..." Before Nie Jinyan could finish speaking, Wen Xiaowan had already rushed out from the corner door, walked quickly to his side, and said with a silly smile, "I miss you."

Nie Jinyan's eyelashes drooped unconsciously, casting a thick shadow under his eyes, which was actually deeper and darker than the night at the beginning of the second watch.

He really wanted to ask, what did he miss, and what did he have to think about.But as soon as such shameless words came into his mind, the tips of his ears turned red, and he really couldn't ask.

Sometimes he couldn't figure out why Wen Xiaowan could say such words easily without any scruples.For any other girl, I'm afraid it's..., at least when facing him, she will definitely not be able to tell.

Nie Jinyan raised his hand, his neatly manicured nails slowly brushed across the hair on top of Wen Xiaowan's head, the cold fingertips collided with the warm scalp, Nie Jinyan only felt My heart tightened, and my hand felt like an electric shock, and I immediately retracted it.

Wen Xiaowan looked up at him in confusion, "What's the matter?" She didn't mind at all that Nie Jinyan was touching her like a kitten. She hadn't shown the cat's paws yet, why did Nie Jinyan seem to be raped? It's... a pleasure.

Forgive her for being sinful again.

Nie Jinyan didn't answer her, but took a step back, getting further away from her.

With this one-step distance, in this narrow corner, it seems as far away as thousands of feet away.

Wen Xiaowan felt uncomfortable, and she was not a star, so she played with Nie Jinyan in the Cowherd and Weaver Girl Tianhe Club in the middle of the night.

She took a big step forward, not to mention that the previous step was swallowed by her big step, even the space that was originally Nie Jinyan was also taken up by her, almost sticking to Nie Jinyan up.

"It sounds like someone is beating a drum, do you hear that?"

She clearly knew that it was the sound of Nie Jinyan's heartbeat, but she still said that. The red lantern hanging on the overhanging eaves of the corner door emitted a faint light, illuminating Nie Jinyan's eyes that were more and more drooping.The slender eyeliner has a beautiful arc.

Nie Jinyan wanted to restrain his heart, not to beat so fast, tried for a long time, but failed.Until hearing the opposite, Wen Xiaowan let out a series of 'giggle' laughter, like silver bells, very nice in the night.

He growled a little angrily, "Shut up!"

But in the dim night and Wen Xiaowan's laughter, these two words are too strong and weak.
