MTL - The Self-cultivation of the Noble Concubine Who Eats Melon-Chapter 134 135: Willing to give it a try even if it is dangerous

  Chapter 134 135: Willing to try even if there is danger

  Ji Yunting came out of the study, his bleak figure walked in the cold winter wind, although the weather was cold, his heart was warm.

  He posted a message to He Lanyue, asking him to have a drink at Yuquan Building.

  He Lanyue didn't want to come at first, he and Ji Yunting had some friendship and wanted to drink together, and he was sorry for his sister.

  But I also wanted to know what he asked me to do, so I hesitated and came.

   Yuquanlou has now become the second only restaurant in the capital after Sanyuanlou, with a great reputation. Some people say that with the development of Yuquanlou, it may surpass Sanyuanlou next year and become the number one restaurant in Beijing.

  The owner of this Yuquan Building dug out a genius who didn’t know where, and the scripts and plays written by them are both good-looking. Since their family’s theater troupe, Derong Troupe, has become famous in Zhenbei Palace singing hall operas, now all the dignitaries and nobles in the capital invite Derong Troupe to come to the banquet.

  He Lanyue arrived a bit late. He joined the army years ago. He started as an ordinary soldier and is still a leading soldier. It is not easy to come out.

  In the Taiping era, it was difficult to get promoted in the military, but his family was different from other families, and he was the son of the royal family, so this road must be taken.

  Opening the door and entering the box, I saw Ji Yunting sitting there in white clothes like a breeze and a bright moon, just like a painting, no wonder his sister chased him for so many years.

  Close the door behind his back, He Lanyue strode over and sat down on the chair, looked at Ji Yunting and asked, "What do you want me for?"

  Ji Yunting saw that He Lan was darker and stronger than before, and he was not as hostile as before, as if he was going to fight with someone at any time.

   "Speaking of which, we had a good relationship when we were young." Ji Yunting poured He Lanyue a glass of wine and said.

  He Lan frowned, "What are you talking about? It's been so many years, who still remembers?"

   "I don't know when it started, it seems like you and I have become like enemies."

  He Lanyue's expression faltered, and he was silent for a while, poured the wine into his stomach, and took another mouthful of vegetable pads to pad his stomach, and then said: "I used to be messy, so I won't mention the past. What do you want me to do? I have to go back to the camp. I don't have time to ink with you. If you have something to say, hurry up."

   Ji Yunting looked at He Lanyue intently, as if he really didn't remember how they got along before, what happened a long time ago, when they were both young, and the two families were neighbors, he and He Lanyue had a good time, and He Lanyun always followed them as a little tail.

   "I'm going to release it outside."

  He Lanyue almost spit out the wine after taking a sip, "Outside?"

  Ji Yunting met his shocked face, "Surprised?"

   "It's a little bit, why do you want to let it go when you're doing well?" He Lanyue finished speaking, and immediately said: "You divorced my sister. I beat you back then, and we are considered clean. Our family didn't chase you."

  Ji Yunting smiled, "It has nothing to do with the palace, I just feel that staying in the capital makes me breathless, and I want to go out and take a look at the great rivers and mountains in the book."

  He Lanyue muttered, "Scholars are hypocritical."

  Ji Yunting didn't bother with him, and said softly: "The last time the two families divorced, although I apologized to the county magistrate, I know that you think I am not sincere."

   "It's good to know." He Lan said angrily, "You don't like my sister, but you still want to be engaged to her, but it's because someone persuaded you to nod. Do you think you hurt others?"

  Ji Yunting fumbled for the wine glass, lowered his head slightly and said softly: "You may not believe it. Before her letter was delivered, my father had already announced his marriage to me, and the arrival of that letter was not what I expected. It is meaningless to say these things now, and it seems that I am trying to shirk."

  He Lanyue suddenly became furious, "You still know that I don't believe it, do you listen to what you say is human? Back then, you and Qin... If you didn't mean anything to her, why did you always scold my sister because of her? You clearly know that I like her, but since you said you don't like her, why didn't you keep your distance? What's the use of talking hypocritically now?"

  Ji Yunting shook his head, "I said that we are innocent, but you all don't believe me. But, you are right, since I have no intention, I should keep my distance. Every time I meet her by chance, I always meet you. I can't explain it even if I open my mouth ten times."

   "According to what you say, it's still our fault." He Lanyue sneered, whoever believes is stupid.

  Ji Yunting didn't try to explain these things, he looked at He Lanyue and said seriously: "I just feel guilty for Ming'an county magistrate, I should have made it clear to her long ago, let her let go of me earlier, and there will be no later things. This time, I don't know when we will see you again. I have no face to see the county magistrate, so I beg you to convey my apology for me."

   Seeing his sincerity, He Lan fell silent for a while, suddenly he understood Ji Yunting's helplessness.

  At the beginning when he was chasing after Qin Xiyue, he always felt that she was his God, the one he had to marry in his life. When he saw her joking with Ji Yunting, he waved his fist and wanted to hit her.

  But he didn't know when, he remembered that Qin Xiyue had completely lost the feeling of infatuation at the beginning, as if he had given him a feeling suddenly, and then quickly took it back, and he was like a clay puppet, he couldn't get it when he came, and he didn't feel too much pain when he lost it.

   This will allow him to tell others that they will call him sick even if they don't.

   "Even if you are released, you have to go back to Beijing once every three years for a review. Why can't you see me?" He Lanyue stared at Ji Yunting, "It's as if you are saying goodbye."

   "You're right." Ji Yunting's heart brightened up when he heard this.

   "Take this glass of wine as my practice for you. Let it go out now. I wish you a bright future. In the future, you will be promoted and honored to invite me to drink."

"good."

  The wine glasses of the two people touched together, and then each drank it down.

  He Lanyue got up, walked to the door and turned to look at Ji Yunting, "Have a good trip."

  Ji Yunting stood in front of the window, looked at He Lan's back and smiled slightly.

  The first half of his life was in a trance like a dream, but in the second half of his life he wanted to live according to his own ideas, to live a real life with flesh and blood.

  Before the Shangyuan Festival, Song Yunzhao received a letter from his family, from which he knew that Ji Yunting had planned to leave and was about to leave after the Shangyuan Festival.

  She was really surprised. In the book, Ji Yunting was not released. He passed the entrance examination and climbed up in the Imperial Academy.

  Why are you going to release it now?

  Thinking of this Song Yunzhao also felt a little dazed, the book didn't seem to mention Ji Yunting's feelings for the heroine, it only said that the heroine regretted not being able to confess her love to him before entering the palace.

  But later it was written that after Ji Yunting became the prime minister, he really supported the heroine, the queen and the prince.

  So does Ji Yunting like Qin Xiyue?

  Song Yunzhao couldn't guess it, but Ji Yunting's release took a different direction from the book. She didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, anyway, it had nothing to do with her.

  Ji Yunting won't support her, and after sighing for a while, he stops paying attention.

   Later, when I thought about it occasionally, I just felt that he had gone well, and that He Lanyun would be able to let go completely when he was gone.

   Although some feelings say that they don’t care anymore, don’t want it anymore, and are deeply hurt, there will always be a little bit of reconciliation deep in their hearts.

  It’s different now, Ji Yunting is released, and he can’t be a Beijing official for ten or eight years. This must be due to his outstanding achievements in foreign affairs.

  By then, maybe He Lanyun's son will marry a wife.

  Looking at the Lantern Festival, Song Yunzhao is also thinking about the Lantern Festival, but unfortunately, as a concubine, she can't go out to enjoy the palace lanterns, so she can only look at the lanterns in the palace.

  Since the Thirteenth, the palace has begun to hang lanterns. The lanterns in Wangyou Palace have also been hung this afternoon. The lanterns hung this time are different from those hung in the next year. This time they are hung more beautifully and delicately, specially prepared for the Lantern Festival.

  Because of the Empress Dowager's illness, the emperor's mood has been visibly not good for the past few days. In addition, the matter of the merit monument has also been followed by the courtiers.

  Song Yunzhao was really relieved, the emperor who was on vacation was like a small motor that was turned on, and she couldn't bear to work overtime every night.

   Coming out of Wangyou Palace, various palace lanterns were also hung on the main road outside the palace. Many palace people shuttled back and forth, and when they saw Yun Zhao, they immediately bowed down and bowed to avoid him.

  Song Yunzhao didn’t disturb them doing business, so he walked along the path to the East Imperial Garden. As a result, the Imperial Garden was also hanging lights. There were really lights everywhere.

  Song Yunzhao went to the koi pond along the path. The koi in this pond are well-raised, all of them are fat and big ears, and they look delicious when they are braised in soy sauce.

  Xiangxue brought the fish food, and Song Yunzhao sat on the gooseneck chair, stretched out his hand to sprinkle the fish food, all of a sudden, thousands of heads moved, and the water splashed everywhere, which made her feel even better.

   "The concubine has seen Jieyu."

  Song Yunzhao turned his head and saw a slightly unfamiliar face. After thinking about it, he couldn't remember who it was, so he looked at Xiangxue.

  Xiangxue immediately said: "Master, it's Ning Ji from Qingyan Palace."

  Oh, Song Yunzhao knows, Sanfei's defeated general rarely leaves Qingyan Palace, but he didn't expect to meet him here today.

  She looked at Ning Ji with a smile, "Did Ning Ji also come out to enjoy the scenery? These koi are very interesting, do you want to feed them?"

  The three people living in Qingyan Palace didn't make any fuss in the book, probably because the author didn't pay them much attention, so they rarely mentioned it. The younger sister was mentioned, and it was just a collective name for the defeated generals of the three concubines.

  Since Song Yunzhao entered the palace, the three of them could see each other from a distance except at banquets, but in fact, they really couldn't be seen usually, and they seldom left Qingyan Palace.

  Ning Ji glanced at Song Jieyu, knowing that she had a bad temper and could not be offended, but she did not expect that she was very kind at the moment, so she hesitated and said: "I am afraid that this concubine will disturb Jieyu's interest."

   "What's the matter." Song Yunzhao looked at Xiangxue, "Give Ning Ji half of the fish food."

  Xiangxue responded with a smile, stepped forward and handed the fish food to Dan Yun, the maid next to Ning Ji, Dan Yun quickly took it and thanked her.

  Ning Ji took some fish food from Dan Yun's hand, walked up to Song Jieyu and leaned against the vermilion fence, stretched out her hand to scatter the fish food, and couldn't help laughing as she watched the koi scrambling for food.

   "No wonder Jieyu likes feeding, it's really interesting."

  Song Yunzhao nodded with a smile, "These koi are well raised, fat and strong. It seems that the craftsmen of the Royal Garden are not lazy."

  Ning Ji's eyes rolled when she heard this, she didn't expect Song Jieyu's temperament to be like this in private.

  The two of them didn't know each other very well, and they didn't have much in common, so they just talked occasionally and played with the fish.

  When the fish food was gone, Song Yunzhao looked at Ning Ji and said with a smile: "It's getting late, I should go back, and Ning Ji should go back earlier, it will get colder after a while."

  Ning Ji smiled and nodded, "The concubine sends Jieyu off."

  Song Yunzhao smiled and left, thinking as he walked, Ning Ji seemed to have a very gentle temper, and she didn't know how she offended the third concubine and ended up like this.

  Dan Yun watched Song Jieyu walk away, stepped forward to support his master and said softly: "Master, go back."

  Ning Ji took another look at the scattered koi in the pond, then turned around and walked back. After passing the garden, all the palace lanterns had been hung up. Although they hadn't been lit yet, she could already imagine how wonderful it would be when lit.

   "The days in this palace are year after year, day after day, and only during festivals can it be more lively." Ning Ji said softly.

  Dan Yun felt a little sad when he heard the words, "Master, you see that Concubine Lu offended Song Jieyu so much, she is not in the same relationship with Jieyu now. You can also go out often in the future, don't stay in Qingyan Palace all the time."

  Their Qingyan Palace is now the only full palace in the harem. Besides the master, there are also Zhao Liangren and Wang Cainu.

  Ning Ji stomped her feet when she heard the words, "Let's talk about it, the empress dowager is going back to the palace, and I don't know how many disturbances will be caused."

  Dan Yun didn't dare to persuade her. When the Empress Dowager went to the palace to have an unpleasant fight with His Majesty, recalling that scene, she was still terrified.

  The sky gradually darkened, and wherever the palace lanterns were hung, there were servants to light the lamps. The entire harem seemed to be immersed in a sea of ​​lights, like stars falling into the mortal world.

  The next day came to the Shangyuan Festival. Early in the morning, Song Yunzhao got a lamp here, which was sent by Zhang Maoquan.

   "Your Majesty said, this glazed koi lantern is for the master to enjoy."

  Song Yunzhao wanted to laugh when she saw it. She just fed the koi yesterday and got the emperor's koi lantern today. If it wasn't for the fact that the lantern couldn't be made in a day, she thought the emperor deliberately made her happy.

   After rewarding Zhang Maoquan, Song Yunzhao asked casually, "Is the emperor busy today?"

  Zhang Maoquan hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "The emperor summoned several courtiers to discuss matters."

  Song Yunzhao was quite surprised, the emperor is indeed a model of pro-government.

  Zhang Maoquan left on the front foot, and on the back foot, Nanny Wen personally sent a lantern to Yun Zhaoye. It was a revolving lantern, and the paintings on it were lifelike.

   "Your Majesty said it, just for Jieyu's sake, I'll let you order and enjoy it tonight."

   "Concubine Shu loves her, and the concubine is flattered." Song Yunzhao really didn't expect Concubine Shu to give her a lamp, and said that he was rewarded by Nanny Wen.

  Nurse Wen thanked her with a smile all over her face, and said: "According to the rules of Shangyuan Festival, the emperor will leave the palace. The empress said that if Jieyu has nothing to do at night, she can go to Cuiwei Palace to enjoy the lanterns."

  Song Yunzhao doesn't want to get too close to Concubine Shu, it's like a ticking time bomb, as long as it blooms, those who are close to her will inevitably suffer.

  But it didn’t look good to directly refuse, so I said to her: “I’m afraid I’m going to spoil my mother’s heart. I went to the Imperial Garden yesterday to watch the koi for a long time. My head hurts a bit, so I won’t go out at night.”

  After hearing the words, Nanny Wen asked a few words of concern, then got up to leave, and Nanny Yu sent the person out in person.

  Song Yunzhao looked at the revolving lantern sent by Concubine Shu. There were pictures of beauties drawn on the silk cloth.

  Bringing her a beauty lamp, Song Yunzhao didn't know whether it was Concubine Shu praising her beauty or protesting with her. After thinking about it, he asked someone to hang the lamp under the eaves of the corridor. After all, this lamp is really beautiful.

  Song Yunzhao did have some headaches. She might have really suffered from the cold. She knew that the emperor would go out of the palace to have fun with the people tonight. Naturally, she would not come to Wangyou Palace, so she took people to watch the lights for a while and went to bed early.

   As for the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor will not be sad if he does not accompany her?

   Sad. Could it be that the emperor will come back with wings? Besides, the relationship between the two of them is not for that's sake, she really doesn't feel anything, she is a person who values ​​festivals but not too much, just having fun is enough.

   Taiji Palace, Feng Yi came back from the palace after Haishi, and called Zhang Maoquan to ask questions, only to find out that Wangyou Palace had closed its doors early.

  Thinking about it, I smiled, it was too late at this time, so I wouldn't disturb people's dreams.

  The first thing to do at the beginning of the new year, the ministers asked the emperor to take the queen mother back to the palace as soon as they went to court.

  However, the emperor insisted on waiting for the queen mother to recover on the grounds that the queen mother caught cold and fell ill next year.

  Song Yunzhao couldn’t stop laughing. During the Chinese New Year, the queen mother deliberately sent a letter to the emperor that she was ill. This meant that she wanted to go back to Beijing under the pretext of seeing a doctor, but the emperor directly sent the imperial doctor to the palace to treat the queen mother. He just said that the winter was bitterly cold and the queen mother’s condition would worsen on the way.

   Now that the courtiers have brought up this matter at the beginning of the court, she is thinking that this matter must not be accidental.

   The contest between the emperor and the queen mother has gone through a few tricks this year, and it can be seen that the mother and son really have no feelings for each other.

  The empress dowager is standing in the position of mother-in-law, even if the emperor is dissatisfied, he can't do anything blatantly, lest he be accused of being unfilial.

  Thinking of this incident, I remembered that Qin Xiyue helped the emperor fight against the queen mother in the book, and only then did he further win the emperor's favor.

   Tut.

   So annoying.

  Nurse Yu gently raised the bead curtain and came in. Seeing that the master was holding the scripture book but was in a daze, she took a step forward, bent slightly and said softly, "Master."

  Song Yunzhao came back to his senses when he heard the voice, raised his head and looked at Nanny Yu, "What's the matter?"

   "The old slave heard that Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Wan went to Shouci Palace today, and Qin Wanyi and several concubines also arrived after arriving at the front foot."

  Song Yunzhao was not surprised at all. At the beginning, she thought that Concubine Xu Zhuang, the third concubine Zhongxing, could cooperate with her, but she didn't know that the cooperation between the two of them fell through, but she and Concubine Shu were still on good terms.

   Concubine Zhuang is an ambitious person. She is interested in this, and thinks that Concubine Zhuang will not do too much for the sake of fame, so that she can get away with it.

   I don't know that Concubine Zhuang is interested in fame, but she is indeed a bit narrow-minded, she can't tolerate her at all, and she wants to push her down when she gets the chance, so she can't cooperate.

   Concubine Zhuang and Qin Xiyue probably conspired in today's matter, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?

  The queen mother is going back to the palace. They think they can get rid of her with the help of the queen mother, so they are so concerned about the affairs of Shouci palace.

   It's really putting the cart before the horse, and I don't even look at who has the final say in this palace.

  The queen mother is indeed the emperor's mother, but the emperor is not a foolish and filial person. Besides, the two mothers and sons are fighting with each other, and whoever bumps into it will be unlucky.

  Concubine Zhuang prides herself on being smart, can't she even think of this?

  Maybe, it’s not unexpected, but I really want to bring myself down, so I’m willing to give it a try even if it’s dangerous.

  Song Yunzhao sighed. When the Queen Mother returned to the palace, she would naturally stand by the emperor's side, but she couldn't directly confront the Queen Mother like the second idiot. Isn't this hitting a stone with an egg?

   But what if the queen mother insists on catching her and taking a bite?

  I really want to be able to ask for help from netizens like later generations, and wait online, it's very urgent.

  Can you take it easy?

   Not to mention that his life is hanging by a thread, but Song Yunzhao is sure that he must be the first name in the first line, first row, and first row of the Queen Mother's handbook.

   Based on the relationship between the two mothers and sons, the emperor likes it, but the queen mother must hate it.

   Seeing the master in a daze again, Nanny Yu couldn't help feeling a little anxious. The queen mother is different from the third concubine, and Jieyu has to take it seriously.

   "Master, this matter can't be left alone, you have to find a way." Nanny Yu said.

   "Mammy, what do you think I can do?" Song Yunzhao looked at Nanny Yu.

   Yu Yu thought about the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother and got stuck for a while.

  Song Yunzhao chuckled, "I'm afraid it's useless to think of anything."

   "However, master can't just wait like this."

   "Mommy, even if I did something, you think the queen mother will like me? No, no." Song Yunzhao also wanted to leave. She would not get off the emperor's ship. As for the queen mother, if she really goes too far, she is not so easy to bully.

   Doesn't the queen mother cherish her reputation?

  Even the elders can’t do whatever they want.

  Thinking about it this way, Song Yunzhao quickly positioned himself, and he immediately felt at ease.

  Life is short, what do you think about so much.

  No matter how active Concubine Zhuang and the others were in the palace, Song Yunzhao stayed in Wangyou Palace very peacefully and remained unmoved. Song Yunzhao just did this, but Concubine Shu didn't move at all, which is very strange.

  Feng Yunjin is closer to the Shouci Palace, so she can't ignore it, and she will go to help out every now and then. Han Jinyi only went there once, and she didn't go again after having some troubles with other concubines.

  Lu Zhixue knew that Qin Xiyue was there, she didn't even show her face, and the emperor didn't give an order, so why is she being so courteous?

   Besides, after learning about Han Jinyi, I feel more and more that I was right not to go.

  Song Yunzhao didn't go anyway, even if she was in front of him for something, he was definitely right to follow her.

   The character homepages of Song Yunzhao and Feng Yi are online, everyone is welcome to visit Xiaoxiang Academy~ Today’s update is here, cute little ones.
