You're mine now
They were already very close to the road of Yi Palace, so the Consort Shu suppressed her footsteps and slowly went on a tour of the garden with Feng Ningyan.
The morning dew glistened on the leaves, and the fragrance of the grass and earth refreshed them.
However, Feng Ningyan was seriously holding onto the hand warming furnace's scent the whole time. After she passed by a fake mountain and saw that the people from the palace had gone far away, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"Chenqie remembers!" She touched the red bead. "It's the smell of musk!"
"Musk?" Consort Shu was startled, she grabbed the hand warming furnace and sized it up, "There is no place for musk to be found here … …"
Feng Ningyan pointed to the red pearl: "Of course there's no need to put the musk inside. This musk deer pearl is even more expensive and fragrant than the musk inside."
"musk deer pearl!" Hearing this, Consort Shu's hand trembled, and the hand warming furnace dropped to the ground with a clang.
Although she had never seen the musk deer pearl before, but she had heard of its name.
It was made from a mixture of musk and other ingredients. The better the ingredients, the more expensive the materials would be. The musk deer pearl that was made from top quality materials would have a color as bright and translucent as agate and would have a fragrant smell.
Feng Ningyan picked up the hand warming furnace, seeing how the Consort Shu was panicking, she knew she guessed right.
She gently held Consort Shu's hand and placed the hand warming furnace in her trembling one.
"Imperial Concubine Su, the empress has given you such a precious gift, you have to hold onto it firmly."
Consort Shu looked at the hand warming furnace, and a trace of hatred swept past her eyes.
"If it wasn't for Yuwangfei's reminder, I wouldn't have known that this is a musk deer pearl … "Esteemed Empress sure is generous …"
Feng Ningyan smiled slightly and replied, "Yi Palace is right in front of us. The emperor has just imposed a prohibition on me from entering the palace, so it would be inconvenient for me to accompany you any further."
Consort Shu asked in surprise, "Why is there such a ban? Today is the first day of your wedding, you should pay your respects to the person who served the tea. "
"Because..." Feng Ningyan laughed bitterly, "Because of those evil words, which caused the emperor to be dissatisfied with me, I'm afraid that I will not have the chance to meet the Empress again in the future. The Empress has the blood of the Emperor, so you must be careful … "
Consort Shu did not expect Feng Ningyan to already know that she was pregnant. She held the hand warming furnace tightly and nodded thoughtfully: "So Yuwangfei had specifically reminded me."
She looked at the entrance of the Yi Palace and laughed coldly.
"Some people are ambitious. They are not satisfied even when they are under one person. Only when they are completely barren would they be able to rest in peace."
She looked at the maid not far away and said softly, "I am grateful for Yuwangfei's good intentions. When the knot in his heart is resolved, he will still miss the His Highness King Yu and worry about you two. When that time comes, the ban will naturally be lifted, so we will definitely meet again. "
Feng Ningyan smiled meekly, bowing and bidding farewell to the Consort Shu: "Imperial Concubine Su has a clear mind, I will definitely remember your words. It's not early, so this concubine will not delay the time for the Empress to go to Yi Palace and pay her respects. "
Bidding farewell to the Consort Shu, Feng Ningyan returned to Shen Lingjue's side with light and quick footsteps.
Seeing her so pleased with herself, Shen Lingjue didn't know what she had done to worry about her.
"Princess Hua-Yang's face is flushed red. It seems that she has gained quite a lot?"
Feng Ningyan smiled mysteriously: "I haven't reaped anything yet, but I've been doing good these days, and I feel lucky."
"Do good every day?" Shen Lingjue was startled, "Could it be that it has something to do with the Consort Shu?"
Feng Ningyan nodded. "Yes. I realised that the red pearl embedded on the hand warming furnace in Consort Shu's hands is a musk deer pearl! That hand warming furnace was gifted to me by the Queen. I reminded the Consort Shu that it was to protect her child, so how can I not be happy? "
Shen Lingjue's expression froze, she frowned, then pulled Feng Ningyan's hand and walked towards the door.
"In the future, you are not to act arbitrarily, and you are not to care about the people and matters of the palace! How much do you know about the situation in the palace when you first arrived? "He just went out on a rampage to do justice …"
He restrained his anger, but didn't realize that he had hurt Feng Ningyan's wrist.
Feng Ningyan's good mood had just been mercilessly crushed. She was instantly angry, flung off Shen Lingjue's hand, and shouted with a suppressed voice: "Your Highness, why aren't you trying to reason with me! The child is innocent, I can't stand by and watch him die! "
"Child?" Shen Lingjue looked around to see that there was no one around, she took a deep breath to calm herself down.
"One month ago, Consort Shu was so angry that she almost lost her favor. However, not long after, the news of her pregnancy spread. royal father was overjoyed, and released her from her confinement. Whether or not her child exists is still hard to say! "
Feng Ningyan was startled: "Your Highness, you said that Consort Shu could conceive a child just to recuperate?"
Shen Lingjue said in a heavy voice, "Whether it is real or fake, it is impossible to stabilize her pampered state. Half a month later, during the talent show, the newbies would laugh and the old people would cry. This was the law, the Consort Shu would lose her favour sooner or later and would be swallowed by the harem. You can't be obedient because you're forbidden? "You have to go and join in the fun."
Feng Ningyan muttered in a daze, "Devoured by the harem …"
The word 'devour' sent chills down her spine.
Hadn't she been devoured by the palace in her previous life? The concubine s who had been granted death to accompany them in death were the same.
She lost her favor in despair, died in humiliation, and had no power to fight against fate.
But in this life, she wanted to control everything, including her fate.
Shen Lingjue saw that she seemed to be scared stiff, she gently held her ice-cold hands, and her tone became much more gentle.
"Be obedient, don't meddle in matters of the palace, those have nothing to do with you."
The warmth of his palm slowly seeped into Feng Ningyan's ice-cold heart.
She raised her head and looked into his eyes that were filled with pity and fear, but she did not reply.
"Your Highness, do you know what moved me the most from the bottom of your heart last night?"
"You're the one who said that controlling the structure of the imperial court is the true way to protect the Feng Family and Ning Nanjun. You made me understand that there are people who are impatient to deal with Prince Yu's Mansion and my father. "
"The reason why I helped Consort Shu is because, firstly, because the fetus was innocent, and secondly, because even though the imperial harem and imperial court seemed to be peaceful and peaceful, they were closely linked. The crown prince's party was based on the empress, while the imperial court was made up of the leaves and leaves. If the foundation is riddled with holes and is on the verge of collapse, who would be able to stand on this tree and enjoy the shade? "
The gaze Shen Lingjue used to look at Feng Ningyan became more and more pleasantly surprised, until she had finished speaking, his heart had already been lit ablaze by her gaze that was brimming with fighting spirit.
He embraced her tightly. "I was afraid that you would still … "Now, I am at ease …"
Feng Ningyan leaned blankly on his chest as she listened to his excited heartbeat, and forgot what she was going to say next.
She slightly raised her hand and paused in midair for a moment before lightly patting his back. "Your Highness, the guards are all watching …"
Shen Lingjue let her go, but she could not shift her gaze away. "It's also useless to look at you, you're mine now …"
Feng Ningyan originally wanted to deny it, wanted to go back to the Ningnan County after settling the threat posed by the "evil star", but looking at his eyes, she was unable to open her mouth.
She lowered her eyes and a faint dimple of tears appeared on her cheeks.
"Who is yours? "Shameless …"
