She knew that Baili Junyi was afraid that she would be disturbed by the showgirls that came in today, so she purposely comforted her in this way.
In fact, even if her heart is prepared for more, seeing so many showgirls enter the palace, she is also a little annoyed, this annoyance does not mean that she does not trust Baili Jun Yi, but people instinctively have a possessive desire for the people they love. Even though she knew that these people would not be an obstacle between her and Baili Jun Yi, she still felt that they were an eyesore.
Baili Junyi pressed against her forehead and looked into those beautiful black eyes, only to feel that his three souls were attracted to her, “Ning Hua, do you love me?”
Shen Ninghua froze, her cheeks burning red violently, “You … knowingly asked …”
“I want to hear it from your own mouth, Nimbus, tell me …”
“I … “Shen Ninghua bit her lip slightly, she wasn’t good at expressing what was really in her heart, especially in front of Baili Junyi, “I… …”
Baili Junyi violently pulled her into his arms, “Bad girl …”
As the night passed, Baili Junyi got up contentedly, covered Shen Ninghua’s arm, and kissed her serene sleeping face with a blush, and couldn’t help but giggle for a while. Only until the careful voice of Wuping came from outside did he leave with reluctance to go to the court.
After about half an hour, Shen Ninghua woke up, opened her eyes somewhat confused, looked at the empty seat next to her, and couldn’t help but blush. Speaking of which, she and Baili Junyi were also considered an old married couple, but many times, she still felt inexplicably blushing.
Thinking of being forced by Baili Junyi to say so many words of I love you yesterday, Shen Ninghua’s face burned more and more. Hongling brought someone in to help her wash up and when she saw Shen Ninghua’s appearance, she lowered her head to hide the smile on her face.
How could Shen Ninghua not know her mind, could not help but glare at her and got up to wash and freshen up. After finishing the morning meal, Hongling came up and said, “The showgirl’s preliminary election has ended, and is now being taught the rules in the palace, and places like the imperial garden are bustling with activity.”
“I think, in this imperial garden, I don’t know if it’s the flowers that bloom beautifully, or the people that look beautiful.” Shen Ninghua knew the mind of the showgirls, and naturally wouldn’t try to stop them, this is the time to see the character of the showgirls.
Those who enter the palace showgirls, also know that their every move in the eyes of the palace people, will not do too much, but can not prevent also some stupid, not only harm themselves, but also implicate others.
Shen Ninghua looked at the roster of the re-selected showgirls and circled some favorites in advance. She also read the news coming from various places, and was thinking of resting for a while when she heard a palace maid come to report, “Your Highness, Miss Tu Su of the Jade Hall has been rushed, and now the Imperial Physician has been called in.”
Shen Ninghua raised her eyes, “Rushing? She stayed properly in the Jade Hall, how could she be rushed?”
“It’s Miss Tu Su’s younger sister, Tu Su Qing Qiu, she went to visit Miss Tu Su today, and only went in for a short while, then a palace maid heard that the movement in the hall was abnormal, and when people went in, Miss Tu Su had already fainted.”
Shen Ninghua couldn’t help but frown, “This is rare, isn’t Tu Su Qingqiu Tu Su Qingli’s own sister? The first time we met after this long time, someone actually fainted, Hongling, let’s go take a look.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
When Shen Ninghua arrived at the Jade Hall, she saw Tu Su Qingqiu kneeling at the entrance of the hall at a glance. At this time, it was almost noon, and the sun was shining. Tusu Qingqiu, however, was kneeling straightly, her movements not messing up at all.
Shen Ninghua approached and casually swept a glance.
Tusu Qingqiu hurriedly raised her head, her face and Tusu Qingli had a few similarities, but appeared smaller and more delicate than her, especially a pair of watery eyes, extraordinarily clear and lucid, “Slave girl has met the Empress Mother.”
Tusu Qingqiu heart to Shen Ninghua also stored in the mind to measure, just looked at a glance, then involuntarily lowered his head. The Empress was only wearing a mauve brocade embroidered skirt, the hem of the skirt was embroidered with large, large magnolia flowers, with gold thread hooked around the edges of the petals, shining in the sunlight, extraordinarily noble and gorgeous.
Shen Ninghua didn’t call up, didn’t even nod her head, and directly led the palace staff into the Jade Hall.
Tu Su Qing Qiu secretly bit her lip and re-straightened her spine and knelt down, a haze flashing under her eyes. She had received instructions from her father and mother before entering the palace to take Tusu Qingli’s lead and help her gain the Emperor’s favor.
Just her own heart is extremely reluctant, Baili Jun Yi’s portrait she has also seen, that kind of wind god handsome man, but also the world’s noblest emperor, how can she not be moved? As long as the thought of being favored by that kind of heavenly god-like man, her heartbeat would be chaotic.
Only, father and mother don’t give her a chance, they are also too confused, nowadays, big sister has been in the palace for so long, if she could gain the emperor’s favor, she would have gained it long ago, how could she wait until now? But they are so biased that they don’t turn to support themselves, instead, they let themselves into the palace to help the useless big sister.
When Shen Ninghua entered the Jade Hall, Tu Su Qingli had already woken up and was struggling to get out of bed, “Don’t stop me, I’ll go see my sister ….”
“What’s it like to make a lot of noise?” Shen Ninghua looked unhappy, her voice not angry.
“Greetings to the Empress, Your Majesty, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years.”
Tusu Qingli took advantage of the courtesan’s salute, had already gotten off the bed and knelt in front of Shen Ninghua, “To trouble the Empress Mother to come, it is the slave girl’s fault, it is I who was not feeling well for the past two days, that is why I fainted, it does not have anything to do with my younger sister.”
Shen Ninghua sat on a side chair, looking at Tusu Qingli’s eager expression, she spoke, “This is your sisters’ matter, this palace should not have asked, only, you were invited in by this palace to be a guest, and the emperor is extraordinarily concerned about you, so this palace can’t help but ask. Hongling, go and call Tu Su Qing Qiu at the door in.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
From the scorching sun outside into the hall where the ice basin was placed, Tu Su Qingqiu couldn’t help but see a burst of blackness in front of her eyes, and only with great difficulty was she able to stabilize her form and kneel on the ground again, “Greetings to the Empress, greetings to the elder sister.”
Tusu Qingli hurriedly went to Tusu Qingqiu side kneeling well, “Empress Mother, sister first came to the palace, rules of a kind also did not learn all, at home I let her used to, only to let her a time to act some crazy, please mother understanding.”
Tusu Qingqiu incredulously look to Tusu Qingli, eyes full of surprise, wait for her to finish, only lowered his head and fiercely biting his lips, will be the tears in the eyes of the raw held back, only a look of obedience to the end of the appearance. That look is clearly aggrieved to the extreme, where there is a little crazy shadow, but is set off by the side of the Tu Su Qing Li overacting.
Shen Ninghua suppressed the playfulness in the bottom of her eyes, Tusu Qingqiu is better than Tusu Qingli, “In the palace, there are rules for every action, acting wildly is not a small matter, Tusu Qingqiu is a showgirl, and she should also be punished. However, on the basis of Miss Tusu’s plea for leniency, she will only be punished to kneel for two hours.”
“Thank you, ma’am.”
Shen Ninghua got up and swept over the palace people who were taking care of Tusu Qingli, “Take good care of Miss Tusu, and if there is any further discomfort, feel free to go and call the eunuch.”
“Yes, slave girl obeyed.”
Shen Ninghua left with the courtiers in great numbers, leaving only two sisters to supervise Tu Su Qingqiu’s kneeling penalty.
Tusu Qingqiu slowly got up, looking at Tusu Qingli’s vaguely complacent face, the bottom of her eyes flashed with thick hatred, “Sister, it’s all because my younger sister bumped into you, it’s me who was wrong, I’ll go to kneel down to make amends for my sins.”
Tusu Qingli looked at her figure, her heart flashed with a hint of pleasure, which was then replaced by worry: father and mother still released Tusu Qingqiu into the palace in the end, which clearly felt that there was no hope for her to gain favor. If she really let Tu Su Qing Qiu gain the Emperor’s favor, then she became a complete outcast, so how could she sit back and wait for death?
Soon after returning to Kun Yu Palace, Hong Ling sent over the results of the investigation, ”Your Highness, today’s matter was planned by Tu Su Qing Li. She had someone secretly contact Tusu Qingqiu, saying that they were sisters meeting. When Tu Su Qing Qiu arrived at the Yu Tang Palace, she pretended to faint again and framed Tu Su Qing Qiu.”
Shen Ninghua couldn’t help but smile, lamenting for Tu Su Qing Yun, “Originally, according to Tu Su Qing Yun’s idea, he should have wanted to send Tu Su Qing Qiu in to help Tu Su Qing Li, only, his two daughters obviously didn’t appreciate this good intention.”
“It’s still not even the first of eight, and these two sisters are already fighting, so I really don’t know what will become of them in the future.”
“Just watch, there will be a lot more hilarity in the palace in the future.” Shen Ninghua did not intend to intervene, anyway, this batch of showgirls no one can stay in the palace, they are willing to fight as much as they want, she can mediate from the side.
Tusu Qingqiu was punished to kneel for two hours, after getting up, the road are almost unsteady, to the storage show palace room where she lives, then directly fainted in the past. After waking up, there is not even a waiting palace people around her, she knelt for so long, her body is soaked all over again, want to take a bath, only to realize that because she did not call someone to prepare in advance, the hot water is also no longer available, can only use the cool water to clean up a bit.
After washing clean and feeling the pain in my knees to the bone, the resentment in my heart couldn’t help but overflow outward, “Tu Su Qing Li, you are really my good sister! Today this account, I’ll keep it with you, when I become powerful, I will definitely ask for it back a thousand times a hundred times!”
In the next few days, Shen Ninghua did not receive few things that these two sisters made. Tusu Qingli rely on the long time in the palace, there are also a few people around can be used, implied that the Cunxiu Palace Palace Palace people to Tusu Qingqiu trips, causing Tusu Qingqiu was taught the rules of the Sister punished twice.
Tusu Qingqiu also has a good toughness, even did not say a word, hard to endure. However, she has made quite a few friends. Among them, the highest status Qin Xiang is also among them, with Qin Xiang’s help, no one dares to make things difficult for her again, which makes her situation much better.
Shen Ninghua flipped through all kinds of information, fiercely thought of one thing, “I remember An Ning and I said, there is a showgirl not high birth, but extraordinarily beautiful, should be called … Gu Wan Yi, she?”
