Chapter 1179

Everyone knew Concubine Chen's temperament by heart, and when she left, everyone was not surprised, and they didn't feel sorry for it. They muttered a few words meaningless, so they didn't bother to waste their words anymore. It would be better to make friends with Ning Yue. Ning Yue always acted as if she was reticent. They thought it was because Ning Yue didn't understand what they meant, and they thought she was afraid of offending anyone who dared not speak easily.

"King Xuan should be discussing the marriage with Princess Deqing. I don't know how it goes." Concubine Liu Gui said seemingly unintentionally.

Ning Yue drank tea leisurely, did not answer Liu Guifei's words, but knew in her heart that with Xuanyin's temperament of being a private person, she might want to give Nanjiang a little bit of power.

This is also good, lest they think that Xiliang is really a soft persimmon that can be squeezed casually.

The concubines sat for a while, and the female officer next to Concubine Liu suggested, "Your Majesty, the ink lotus in Xinuang Pavilion is open, do you want to take everyone there to have a look?"

Concubine Liu Gui glanced at the empty table, sighed and said, "Forget it, the empress must have been caught up in some official business, and if she can't make it through for a while, I might as well bring the concubine of the county to open her eyes first."

It's better to cultivate feelings along the way!

Concubine Liu Gui proposed to watch Mo Lian. Ning Yue had never seen Mo Lian before, and she was quite interested in this artificially cultivated flower, so she went with Concubine Liu Gui with a smile.

Concubine Yan Hui, Concubine Zhang Li, Concubine Li Shun and several wives were also accompanying them.

Entering the Xinuang Pavilion, a refreshing lotus fragrance came to the nostrils, and everyone not only looked sideways, but also showed intoxication.

This is a small warm pavilion that is not particularly large. It is no different from an ordinary greenhouse because the weather is hot and does not need heating. It is mainly planted with black lotus. There are about three to five black lotus in each small water tank. It is already in full bloom, and some are still in bud. The petals are the color of black jade, the top is light blue-gray, and the color becomes thicker as you go to the bottom. The stamens are beautiful light gold. Like a fighting spirit waiting to wake up, looking at it makes people feel solemn.

"This is the ink lotus that the empress took five years to cultivate." Seeing that Ning Yue was in good spirits, Concubine Liu explained with a smile in her ear.

Ning Yue showed a little bit of surprise, and said with a smile: "The Empress is really kind and heart-warming, both court and harem are well-organized, and everything is well-organized."

When mentioning the court, Concubine Liu Gui showed a look of envy but helplessness on her face, and said: "Since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in politics, and she is considered the first person."

This sounded like a compliment, but when it came out of Concubine Liu Guifei's mouth, it might sound like a bit of a complaint. Thinking about it, they are both women. One can only live in the harem to care for her husband and teach her children, while the other can be in the courtroom. Calling the wind and calling the rain, the empress has done things that women have never done for thousands of years. Concubine Liu Gui must feel a little unbalanced in her heart.

For Ning Yue, this imbalance is definitely not a bad thing.

Ning Yue smiled and said nothing.

Concubine Liu Gui realized that she had talked too much, and covered her lips with her sleeve: "Sit down and have a cup of tea, it's made from Mo Lian's lotus seed heart."

"Thank you, ma'am." Ning Yue sat down in the assigned seat.

Concubine Liu Gui asked the others to sit down as well, and ordered the maid to make tea. Lotus seeds are cold in nature, can soothe the nerves, clear and warm the heart, dilate blood vessels, nourish the spleen and kidney, in addition to sustaining, it can also help sleep and suppress mouth sores. It is a tea with many curative effects, but the taste is too bitter. Ordinary people can't bear it, but Mo Lian's lotus seed heart is even more painful. Everyone took a sip to save face, but they couldn't swallow the second sip no matter what.
