The Woman Behind Kangxi: The Biography of Virtuous Concubine

Chapter 55
Chengxi Palace.

Concubine Jing Dongzhu was also taken aback when the maid came to report to the nobleman of Yonghe Palace to see him. Ningde, who usually never moves around, suddenly came to visit.The maid Yun Rong looked at Concubine Jing's face and asked, "Master, do you want to see her?"

Concubine Jing smiled: "See, why didn't you see me? Pass it on!" As the saying goes, you can go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, and today I want to see what this noble man who seems to be indifferent to the world is going to do!
Ning De walked in gracefully, followed the etiquette and followed the rules, but it was still hard to find fault with, and Concubine Jing didn't want to play charades with her, she had already shunned everyone earlier, leaving only Yun Rong by her side.

Ning De is a smart person, and he knew Concubine Jing's posture when he saw Concubine Jing, and he thought that it would save him a lot of talking this time.

Sure enough, before she opened her mouth, Concubine Jing said, "I don't know what my sister is here today?"

Ning De said solemnly: "For the sake of establishing a successor!"

"Joke! It's not your turn to intervene in the matter of the emperor's establishment!" Concubine Jing's voice sounded a bit hideous at this moment.

Ningde smiled first, his smile was so gentle and charming, so innocent and pure, as if the voice full of needlepoints below was not from her: "Don't you know with your eyes and ears, where did the news of Lihou come from?" Was it released?"

As soon as the words came out, Concubine Jing's face became even colder, she couldn't see that Ningde, who was usually quiet, could speak so aggressively when he was really sharp, and it was only dogs that didn't bark that bit people.

She sneered: "It turns out that you did it on purpose. I really don't see that you have such a trick, sister. I was suspicious. Since you were banned a few years ago, the Yonghe Palace has been cleaned up by you like an iron pass. How could this news come out so easily?"

Ning De's expression was still normal, and he couldn't see the depth of it. He just smiled lightly and said, "Sister, I told you too much."

Concubine Jing stared at Ning De fiercely, as if she wanted to see through her from beginning to end. The two stared at each other for a long time. His eyes were still calm.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want to say?" Concubine Jing asked calmly, still restoring her former grace and aura, before giving up on staring at each other.

But Ning De changed the topic: "My sister is in charge of the Sixth Palace, so what happened in Yuanhe Hall is not unfamiliar to my sister?"

Concubine Jing was already calm, and asked impatiently: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"One child for one queen."

Concubine Jing stood up and said tremblingly, "Say it again."

"The child in the Yuanhe Palace, I and Concubine Tong can't keep it, so I came here to beg my mother to save the child in Ma Jia's stomach a way out. Your mother, you know that you can be with you in this palace." Concubine Tong is the only one fighting for this post, she is willing to give up now and recommend you to the emperor together with her concubine."

Concubine Tong's influence in the court cannot be underestimated. Her father and uncle both served in the army, and they played an important role in the pacification of the San Francisco Rebellion. It would be great if Concubine Tong is willing to give up to protect the unborn child; and Ning De actually has the favor of discussing important matters in the harem with the emperor, so if she can get her support, his Grasp is more secure.

The long-cherished post is so easy to get, but instead of the unforgettable expectation and hope in her heart, she raised her head and looked at Ningde again. This time there was no malice in her eyes, but she was deeply puzzled. , and with a deep sense of exhaustion: "This time, whether you believe it or not, I did not intervene in the affairs of Yuanhe Temple this time, but since this is all said and done, I promise you, the child of Yuanhe Temple Even if it is saved, I will help you treat this child well. But, noble lady, don’t you know that Concubine Tong just uses you as a weapon? In this matter, I can’t see that you are working hard Can you get a little benefit? Why do you have to be loyal to Concubine Tong, Concubine Tong and I, we probably understand each other that we are all in the same boat, haven't you, a smart person, seen through her?"

Ning De, on the other hand, blushed slightly and remained silent.

Concubine Jing glanced at her, and said with a smile: "So there are times when you can't speak." She sighed and said slowly: "You have been in the palace for a few years, this place is the most aging, It's not old in body, it's old in heart, do you understand what I mean? Actually, to be honest, if you and I didn't meet in this deep palace, I'm afraid we would still be called sympathetic friends. It's a pity, Concubine Tong would have I won over you first, and from now on, I won't have the opportunity to talk with you like this."

Ning De nodded silently, knowing in his heart what Concubine Jing said was true, and he was obviously here to provoke, but Concubine Jing could still say heart-to-heart words to herself with a smile like this, try to change her identity, if the seated today is I don't know if I still have such courage...

It's just that she doesn't necessarily understand that some things cannot be measured by gain or loss. Just like today's things, it is not necessary to care about everything in the world. Sometimes a passion and a heart of gratitude are enough.

Ningde knew that it was not appropriate to stay in the Chengxi Palace at this moment, so he got up and said goodbye: "I hope that when I see you next time, I can serve you as a queen."

Niu Hulu's Dongzhu nodded and said, "Go, I won't keep you."

Looking at the background of Ning De's departure, she knew that she and Ning De might have a very delicate relationship in the future.

As soon as Ning De turned to leave, Yun Rong immediately gave a "bah" to her back, and said coldly, "What!"

Dongzhu said: "Shut up, I can't even see through her heart, no wonder the emperor will never forget her, you go to Yanhong Hall, tell her to clean her hands and feet these few days, and don't cause trouble." Going away, Niu Hulu's Dongzhu's original tired expression was swept away, and there was an indescribable coldness in his eyes.

Yun Rong suppressed her voice and said, "Cha."
