Story of the Forbidden Palace - C92
“Miss, the Noble Consort Ling sent some people to send some pearls over. It was a brocade box. All of them were roughly the same size, perfectly round and shiny. They said it was to make you an ornament. ” Mei Duo didn’t know about what happened before, and only thought that Noble Consort Ling wanted to rope me in.
“Yes.” I softly replied, “Then I’ll send it to the Treasure Division to make me some beads.” If there are many, make a pair of earrings or a pearl hairpin. ” Mei Duo said happily: “This servant obeys.”
“Cough cough …” Ning Zhi’s grief did not lessen as she silently stood at the side without saying a word. Have you gone to see Yun Xu today? ” I observed her for a few days without batting an eyelid, knowing that she was going to Ning Xi palace every day. Just by saying that he was visiting for me.
“Young Mistress, I …” “You …” Ning Zhi wanted to say something but hesitated, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her shirt. I know you’ve always felt guilty, but at this point, we can only pray for the mercy of this poor child. ”
I lowered my voice to persuade her, “When it’s time to harden your heart, just harden it. If you’re too benevolent, you’ll harm yourself instead.” Ning Zhi solemnly nodded her head. “This servant understands.”
Unknowingly, Ning Xiang was already standing at the door, but seeing her made him happy: “Ning Xiang, when did you come back? “Come on in.” Ning Xiang smiled bitterly, “Young Mistress.” She looked at me blissfully, and why didn’t she look at me.
Ceng Zhi was even more flustered and actually took a small step back. Ning Xiang said: “This servant will follow Empress Dowager’s order to return to the Caixie Palace to serve.” She paused for a moment, then said with a slightly sad voice, “This servant originally guessed that this matter wasn’t that simple, but I didn’t expect you to …”
“This is entirely my intention.” I interrupted Ning Xiang and restrained my smile: “Surviving in the palace is already like this, moreover, we have already done it, it’s useless to pursue the matter now. Don’t criticize Ning Zhi anymore. ”
Ning Xiang laughed with relief: “How is this’ harsh on me ‘? It’s just that I’d rather do it myself.” I didn’t expect her to say that. I was speechless.
Seeing that I was surprised, Ning Xiang laughed: “I have been at the Ningshou Palace for the past few days, and I have truly experienced the difficulties of Young Mistress. Even though you didn’t mention Young Mistress, I still understand. The reason the empress dowager borrowed this servant is because she wanted to coerce Young Mistress to agree to a marriage. ”
I lightly sighed and said, “You already know about it.” Ning Xiang nodded. However, a look of resentment suddenly appeared on her mournful face. “Young Mistress, the reason why you are always under the control of others is precisely because of this word ‘good’.”
I smiled coldly and helplessly asked, “Even you think so?” “Yes.” “Ning Xiang firmly bit on her lips. A good man is bullied, a good horse is ridden. “It seems like this famous saying has been said for a thousand years.” I took a deep breath. “Or maybe I should.”
Ning Xiang kneeled down and said: “This servant is willing to serve Young Mistress, and will not refuse even if I die.” I nodded. “Alright, now that Ning Xiang is back. The Caixie Palace can once again return to its original state. ”
In the evening, Wang Quan brought along Xuanyuan Wentian’s dictation, saying that he would sleep at Caixie Palace tonight. I deliberately let the fog mix up the new fragrance, and naturally there was no lack of musk in it.
He intentionally chose a long, moon-white dress and stood under a white magnolia tree in the courtyard, facing the watery moonlight.
The moonlight was like silver on a quiet tree, and the shadows between the leaves were like serendipity on my shimmering dress. More and more, I appear weak, delicate, not a grasp.
In the dead of night, Xuan Yuan had arrived late. But standing behind me for a long time watching the obsession. And although I could feel him standing behind me, I preferred to look up at the moon. Maybe he and I are like the moon, beautiful but beautiful, but like a dream.
