There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 68

Tang Wanning laughed again.

"That's fine, it won't save them from thinking that I'm a living Bodhisattva, one by two pushing my nose on my face!"

"That's right, it's good for you to show off!" Bi Yue especially agreed.

From her point of view, the empress has never had a comfortable day since she entered the palace, she was either angry with the crown prince or the subordinates, how could this be?
If you want her to say that the master should have done this long ago!

"It's fine if you're fine, you go to rest too!" Bi Luo urged her.

Bi Yue smiled and retreated, while Bi Luo shook her head.

"Girl, I think you have to teach her sometime!"

Tang Wanning didn't think so.

"I think Biyue has a pretty good temper! She is a straightforward person! There is nothing special to change!"

"If everyone is like you, I won't be suffocated!"

What more did Biluo say, Tang Wanning yawned directly.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's see what's in the kitchen. I want to eat venison hot pot today, so I'll ask them to make it and serve it up. I want more side dishes!"

"and also……"

Tang Wanning quietly and mysteriously told: "Don't let the people in the front yard know!"

She doesn't want to have a meal and serve others. It's going to snow, wouldn't it be nice to eat hot pot in the snow?
Biluo knew that the master was protecting Biyue, so she didn't want to say much, so she came out when she agreed.

Half an hour later, Tang Wanning started cooking hot pot on the big Kang facing the window in the inner room, and... she was alone, Xia Houjue didn't know!
It was very pleasant.

Tang Wanning suddenly felt that life had meaning again, even if it was only for these excellent delicacies, she still had to live well, right?
……

In the days that followed, the backyard was extremely peaceful.

Everyone was extremely well-behaved, and even the family dinner on the night of the 23rd lunar month was unprecedentedly harmonious.

Tang Waning is very satisfied, it seems that the effect of this class is good, and she must make persistent efforts in the future!
After the new year, it was almost until New Year's Eve that the backyard finally had some New Year's atmosphere and became lively again.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, another snow fell in the capital.

Tang Wanning woke up early and took Meng Yuyao to greet the queen.

The queen really asked about the witchcraft in the backyard, and reprimanded Tang Wanning, saying that as a concubine, she didn't care enough about the prince.

Tang Wanning is so depressed!

What is caring?What do you mean don't care?
And how could the matter of the witch in the backyard be related to her not caring about the prince?It doesn't matter at all, does it?

But what the queen said next made Tang Waning understand the reason.

The queen frowned and shook her head worriedly: "No!"

"There aren't many people in Jue'er's backyard. The majestic Crown Prince, the people around here are not even as good as King Ping. How can this be done!"

"After the New Year's Eve next year, a few more must be selected, and this matter is settled!"

Tang Wanning: "..."

Are you still here waiting for her?

Taking concubines and taking concubines, it's not that she forbids taking concubines, the key point is that the queen must find someone from the queen.

Who wants to sleep with this spy next to him!
After thinking about it, Tang Wanning refused again.

"What a coincidence, there is already a candidate for a daughter-in-law next to His Royal Highness, and she will enter the palace after the next year, so I won't bother my mother!"

The queen pretended not to listen.

"You grew up in the Northwest, how do you know the roots of everyone in the capital?! Good boy, just leave this matter alone!"

Tang Wanning couldn't bear it anymore and directly replied: "How does the mother know that the daughter-in-law will definitely choose someone from the capital?"

"The person who serves His Highness naturally has to be single-minded. Naturally, my daughter-in-law will only find someone who knows everything. This little thing can still be done!"

"It's Queen Mother, if you have a good candidate, why not keep it for His Royal Highness, the prince is cold-tempered, and he is always afraid of wronging the girls!"

The queen was so angry that she was about to say something when Tang Wanning got up to leave.

"Thank you for your mother's kindness. It's getting late, and my mother is tired, so my daughter-in-law will not disturb you!"

Tang Wanning got up and left directly, Meng Yuyao bit her lip and followed suit.

She didn't say a word the whole time, she was so aggrieved.

……

That night, Meng Yuyao was ordered by the queen to quietly go to Fengyang Palace.

The queen was copying Buddhist scriptures at this time, and Meng Yuyao knelt behind her.

After a long while, the queen asked: "This matter is too soft, I'm afraid it won't work at all, let's get tough!"

"When this matter is completed, I will never treat you badly!"

Meng Yuyao was very worried.

"You're going to choose someone else, how can the concubine believe it?!"

The queen's eyes froze: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not! Since you have followed me, you must be loyal!"

"If you don't want to, in the future...don't blame Ben Gong for being cruel!"

Meng Yuyao couldn't help but bit her lip after a while.

"Yes!"

"The concubine will follow the queen's will, and I will definitely handle this matter for you!"

"But... the concubine also has a request!"

The queen narrowed her eyes: "Say it!"

"After this matter is completed, can I give my concubine a freedom?"

"In the future, someone will serve the empress on behalf of the concubine, so there is no need for the concubine to cause trouble for you. What do you think, empress?"

The queen sneered: "You want to quit?"

Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corners of Meng Yuyao's lips.

"Is the empress reluctant to part with it? The concubine is now in the backyard and is nothing!"

"Except for a few pairs of cards in my hand, there is nothing else! It seems to be of little value to you!"

"When your newcomer arrives, I can help as much as I can, and it can be regarded as repaying the empress for her support!"

The queen's eyes flickered, as if she was thinking, and after a while she finally nodded.

"Forget it, twisted melons are not sweet, I won't force you to do anything!"

"It's just that in the future...you're not on my side. If Bengong finds out that you betrayed me to please others, then... don't blame me for being rude!"

Meng Yuyao kowtowed repeatedly.

"The concubine will never betray the empress!"

"You can rest assured! Although you will not be able to serve the empress all the time in the future, if the empress is useful, the concubine is still obliged to do so."

"That's more or less the same!" The Queen's lips curled slightly.

……

When Meng Yuyao came out of Fengyang Palace, she felt a little exhausted.

Braving the cold wind and returning to Nongcuiju, looking at the bamboo shadows in the dark night in front of the window, looking at the snow covered with snow outside.

She leaned on the shore, picked up a pen and wrote on a piece of white paper.

"Bamboo shadows and poems are thin, and plum blossoms are fragrant in dreams!"

These two lines of poems... were the lines she read casually when she saw Nong Cuiju when she first entered the palace.

She will never forget the admiration, the pleasing, and the fascinating light in His Royal Highness's eyes when she recited poems.

But now... She even forgot how long she hadn't slept with her.

Every time I come here, I sleep coldly, and then leave coldly the next day.

But the princess she had always looked down upon was getting better and better, even the way the prince looked at her changed.

It turned out that he disliked her so much, but now... how could he dislike her at all, he obviously liked her a little bit!
