Chapter 133 Entering the Palace and Discovering (5)
It's not Concubine Jia De, it's Sikong Shuo. Sikong Shuo would not let the 100,000 military expenditure go to waste, the shopkeeper must have been silenced.
In his previous life, Sikong Shuo had been eyeing the southern border, but because of his father's death, the morale of the army was scattered, and he missed the best time to conquer. In this life, his father survived safely, but all of this only fueled Sikong Shuo's ambition to annex southern Xinjiang.
This man is really terrible.
Ma Ningxin came over quietly, held Ning Yue's hand, and whispered: "Is the person Aunt Tan mentioned the one you met? Jia Yuyan?"
Ning Yue nodded.
Ma Ningxin turned pale with fright: "Concubine Jia De is really cruel, fortunately she didn't know you were there."
From Aunt Tan's words, there was absolutely no trace of a second person at the scene. Not only was she not present, Chen Bo was also absent, and Xuan Yu was not mentioned.
Perhaps, in order to keep Chen Bo, Sikong Shuo deliberately took Chen Bo out, fearing that someone would check with her and Xuan Yu, so he took them both out by the way.
It was unreasonable for her and Xuan Yu to hug each other, so naturally she would not take the initiative to report on Chen Bo.
Could it be that... Xuan Yu's appearance was also reported by Sikong Shuo? The purpose is to keep her secret about meeting Chen Bo that day.
She doesn't expose Chen Bo, and Sikong Shuo doesn't expose her and Xuan Yu.
Sikong Shuo, oh Sikong Shuo, you are so scheming!
Having been with Sikong Shuo for more than ten years, from the age of thirteen to thirty, she thought she knew him well enough, but looking at it now, what she knows is always what he wants her to know.
This man is horribly deep.
I don't know if he has any other moves next.
…
After that, Aunt Tan introduced the situation of the imperial heirs. The emperor had four sons in total, the first three were born after the Yuan Dynasty, the eldest prince and the second prince were demoted to common people for committing serious crimes, and the third prince became the prince. The fourth prince is the only son of Empress Shi, who just turned ten years old this year; there are also four princesses, Princess Fuyuan of Empress Yuan, Princess Deqing of Empress Shi, Princess Lin'an of Concubine Guo Shu, and Princess Wenchuan of a slave girl from a foreign country.
Concubine Wu Gui and Concubine Jia De only came to the emperor's side in recent years, and there is no news of pregnancy yet.
Walking around for three quarters of an hour, his legs became weak, and finally arrived at the Guiming Palace of Concubine Wu.
In her previous life, Ning Yue had been kept in the palace by Sikong Shuo like a forbidden child. By the time she came out to meet the world, this aunt had already passed away. It was the first time in my memory to see her elegantly dressed in palace attire. She has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and her complexion is not particularly fair, but smooth and delicate. She has a standard oval face, and when she smiles, you can see two small canine teeth, which add to her beauty.
She is slightly taller than ordinary women. I heard that the emperor's height is not good. I don't know if it is because he doesn't want to "look up" to his concubine. The emperor seldom comes to Guiming Palace.
"Kowtow to the imperial concubine, the empress is blessed and safe."
The four sisters of the Ma family knelt on the mat and gave a big gift to Concubine Wu.
Concubine Wu's joyful eyes fell on several nieces and daughters. The old lady is not their real grandmother, and Concubine Wu is not related to them by blood, but Concubine Wu is still very excited to see a familiar face in the deep palace. Eye sockets are red.
Beside her, a female official wearing a pink gown said: "Madam, it's a happy event for your natal family to come, why are you crying instead?"
The Ma family sisters also shed tears.
Concubine Wu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, got up, walked down the steps, and helped the sisters of the Ma family up one by one. Unlike Aunt Tan's virtual support, she actually supported their arms.
