Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 21

In the past few days, Jing Ning only did two things, one was quietly copying Buddhist scriptures in the room, and the other was to greet the old lady every day, and show her presence in front of the old lady.

This was beyond Zheng Xiuning's expectation, but she was not worried about it.

In the past four years, she has spent countless efforts on the old lady and studied the old lady's hobbies with all her heart. It can be said that she knows the old lady well, so she doesn't have to worry about falling out of favor because of this.

But Jing Ning's unexpected move still made her alert.

On this day, when Jing Ning left the old lady's courtyard, she also raised her foot to catch up and shouted eagerly from behind: "Sister, do you want to go to Princess Danyang's birthday party tomorrow?"

Jing Ning stopped in his tracks, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

finally come!

Princess Danyang, the only daughter of the king who stayed in the court, can be said to be loved by thousands of people, but she has always been at odds with Zheng Xiuning and often bullied Zheng Xiuning. For this reason, she had several fights with Princess Danyang Almost everyone in the capital knew that Prince Liu's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion had feuded over this.

What broke the real relationship between the two families was that she pushed Princess Danyang down the stairs at Princess Danyang's 15-year-old birthday banquet!

Jing Ning interrupted the memory at the right time, turned around, and looked at Zheng Xiuning with some surprise in his eyes: "Why did my sister ask this?"

Her gaze was gentle and soft, still the innocent look of the past, but for some reason, this gaze made Zheng Xiuning feel cold, as if the whole person was being seen through.

"It's nothing, my sister is just curious."

"Of course not, have you forgotten? Princess Danyang always bullied you in the past! Such a person, how could I go to her birthday banquet?"

Jing Ning's face darkened, seeming to be a little annoyed.

Zheng Xiuning secretly rejoiced, Jing Ning was still the same Jing Ning in the past, with no brains, and would only be led by her nose, and the slight fear of Jing Ning that had arisen in her heart due to what happened a few days ago was completely gone. dissipated.

It's just a woman without a brain. The reason why she was able to escape was only because the Third Highness and the person from the Xiao family were in the way!

"Sister, you must not think like this. After all, the princess is honorable, and we are not the ones to offend. He was just beaten and scolded a few times, and Xiu Ning endured it and passed!"

Zheng Xiuning said anxiously, his eyes were full of fear for Princess Danyang.

Jing Ning raised his head, imitating his previous life and said with disdain and pride: "So what? Could it be that my prime minister's mansion can be bullied by others? Tomorrow I go to the birthday party, and you follow me. Let me see Who dares to bully you!"

Zheng Xiuning's eyes lit up, what she was waiting for was Jingning's words!

As a concubine, Zheng Xiuning is unable to participate in this kind of high-class banquet, but she is still active in the circle of ladies from aristocratic families. For this, I have to say thanks to Jing Ning, who always takes Zheng Xiu with her wherever she goes. Ning, this allowed Zheng Xiuning to come into contact with these.

Even Zheng Xiuning's marriage in his previous life was obtained because of Jingning.

Zheng Xiuning has a very contradictory feeling for Jing Ning. She hates Jing Ning, whose status, status and appearance will always overwhelm her, but she has to rely on her to survive.

That's why later, after she became a queen, she tortured her so much.

Jing Ning and Zheng Xiuning exchanged a few words and then returned to their yard.

She looked at the thick pile of Buddhist scriptures in front of her, sat down calmly, and continued to copy.

She told herself to endure.

Although the Yang family has not fully controlled the Prime Minister's Mansion, and although his father pulled out many stakes before leaving, and even left it something that can protect itself, the Yang family has the foundation for so many years after all.

Therefore, when she did not have the strength to compete with Yang's mother and daughter, she could only bear with it and accumulate strength bit by bit.

When she has enough strength, she doesn't have to be afraid.

A day flies by in the blink of an eye.

The sunlight from outside the window slanted in, and a single beautiful flower bloomed under the window lattice. Outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, the carriage to Liu Wang's Mansion had already been prepared.

Jing Ning got up early to freshen up, and waited outside the mansion.

Not long after, Zheng Xiuning came along with the old lady.

As an old lady, she shouldn't have attended this kind of birthday party for younger generations, but the old lady and the old concubine of Liuwangfu are good sisters who grew up together since childhood, and Princess Danyang, as the granddaughter of the old concubine, the old lady Naturally, it is to reward face.

After Jing Ning's hard work in the past few days, the old lady no longer had a condensed face when she saw her like before, and Yang opened a rare smile.

Especially seeing that Jing Ning was wearing a green dress, which was neither ostentatious nor plain, completely gone from the crazy look before, and felt even more satisfied.

This is how she should look like the daughter of the prime minister's mansion!

She turned to Yang and said, "Aunt Yang, go back first. I will take care of Xiu Ning and Jing Ning, so you don't have to worry."

Zheng Xiuning was able to go to such high-class banquets because of Jing Ning's honor. As an aunt, Mrs. Yang had no choice but to stay at home. This was the main reason why Mrs. Yang took such pains to become a regular.

The carriage was soon on its way.

Along the way, pavilions, towers and pavilions, green mountains and rivers passed by one after another, Jing Ning said a few words to the old lady, then closed his eyes and fell asleep in the carriage.

The carriage is very big, and dozens of people can sit in it, and Zheng Xiuning, who is deeply loved by the old lady, is naturally also in it.

She sat on the left hand side of the old lady and did not get close to Jing Ning, but her eyes stayed on Jing Ning all the time, looking at her attire, makeup and posture today.

From top to bottom, bit by bit, it seems to be peeling people apart.

The old lady didn't notice such a strong gaze, but as the object of attention, Jing Ning couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.

She opened her eyes, and Zheng Xiuning on the opposite side immediately looked away. Even though it was only for a moment, Jing Ning still saw the resentment and jealousy in the other's eyes.

She sneered in her heart.

In the past, she cared so much for this younger sister, so she never understood where Zheng Xiuning's hatred for her came from. Later, she gradually understood that there was a kind of resentment stemming from the difference in status between the two, and this kind of resentment came from It cannot be erased no matter what.

Zheng Xiuning's hatred is very simple, just because Jing Ning is a legitimate daughter and has a more noble status than her.

At this time, Prince Liu's Mansion has arrived.

Jing Ning took the first step and helped the old lady get off the carriage.

She is dressed in water green clothes, fresh and sweet, and the orchid embroidery on the big sleeves adds more elegance and calmness to her.

The moment she raised her head, many of the crowd coming and going in the palace stopped.

There is a beautiful person, as pure as an orchid, unforgettable.

Standing at the back, Zheng Xiuning watched those people's gazes focus on Jing Ning, his face turned ferocious for a moment.

Knowing that this kind of banquet is very important, she is also well-dressed, pink clothes, light makeup, including hair temples, are all carefully selected by her, making her beautiful and moving.

However, when this beauty was placed in front of Jing Ning, all the preparations seemed to be overshadowed.

Jing Ning had already helped the old lady into the palace.

Many young masters behind him began to inquire which family the girl was from, and Zheng Xiuning clenched his fists in the round after round of compliments to Jing Ning.
