Chapter 35 The General Loves the Country Girl (5)
Ning Shu had been recuperating for half a month and her health was very good. She looked very healthy and did not look sad at all.
Hearing that Princess Jiahui was well, the concubines in the harem came to see the princess. Ning Shu met these concubines.
Ning Shu rubbed her head and looked at the room full of beautiful women. The fragrance of all kinds of women mixed together was so pungent that it made people's heads ache.
These concubines had different styles and temperaments. They were charming and seductive, pure and noble, gentle and virtuous... all kinds of women. Li Wen was really lucky. There were so many women, and so many beauties waiting for his mercy.
Ning Shu understood that the purpose of these concubines coming to the Lanyuan Palace was just to see Li Wen. Although these concubines tried their best to find topics and care about her health, their eyes kept looking outside the palace.
Ning Shu did not point it out. She had just arrived in this world and needed to understand the situation in the palace. From the words of these concubines, she could know which concubines were favored and which were not. She could also see which concubines had grudges against each other and which factions they belonged to from the tit-for-tat among the concubines.
"The emperor has arrived." A shrill voice was heard outside the palace. It was very unpleasant to hear, but for the women in the room, it was like a sweet rain. They were all energetic and radiant.
When Li Wen walked into the palace, Ning Shu immediately felt a chill. This guy was really cold.
"The emperor is safe." The women in the room saluted Li Wen together. Their movements were very charming and their voices could be squeezed out of water. They faced Li Wen with their best attitude. Some of the bolder ones even pretended to unconsciously reveal a piece of plump and white.
They competed for beauty. Ning Shu looked at the beautiful women in the room and was secretly shocked. Any woman would be sought after by men in modern times, but now they were nestled in such a square place to compete for a man.
It's a waste of resources.
Li Wen was indifferent to the women in the room. With a cold face, he said in a low voice, "Get up." A concubine who was close to Li Wen deliberately staggered when she got up, trying to fall into Li Wen's arms. As a result, Li Wen dodged and the concubine almost fell to the ground, making a fool of herself.
Ning Shu twitched her mouth. This emperor's personality was really bad. What's wrong with helping his own woman? Besides, it was a woman who was courteous to you, and such a beautiful woman was courteous to you. I don't know how happy she was.
Li Wen didn't even look at these concubines. He looked at Ning Shu and said lightly, "It seems that you have recovered well?"
Ning Shu bowed and said, "Thank you for your relationship, my brother. Jiahui is much better."
Li Wen nodded, his face cold, "Without Duan Xinghui, there are other good men in the Yong Dynasty. You are my sister."
Ning Shu automatically understood that you are my sister, and you can pick any man in the world.
Ning Shu's eyebrows revealed a sad look, and she said to Li Wen gratefully: "Thank you for your relationship, my brother, but I don't want to think about these things now."
Li Wen stared at Ning Shu with sharp eyes, scanning Ning Shu's face, then nodded and said "hmm" without saying anything, sat on the chair for a while and left.
"Your Majesty, please get up..." The eunuch Jiang Gonggong beside Li Wen sang in a sharp voice with a melodious tone.
After Li Wen left, everyone focused their eyes on Ning Shu. Ning Shu keenly felt the eyes of everyone looking at her, with envy, jealousy, and some extremely hateful eyes.
Ning Shu looked over and saw a woman wearing a palace dress with a purple silk and auspicious cloud pattern. Her expression was arrogant and sharp, and her eyes were filled with undisguised jealousy and disgust. Ning Shu thought about it, then curled her lips towards the woman. This person was Concubine Du. The grudge between Concubine Du and the original owner was still because of the queen. In the heart of the original owner, she only had one sister-in-law, the queen, and she looked down on other women.
The queen and Concubine Du were evenly matched, but because of the original owner, the queen had the upper hand, so Concubine Du never had a good impression of Princess Jiahui. She came to Lanyuan Palace just because all the concubines in the harem came, and it would be unreasonable for her not to come.
It was done for Li Wen to see. Li Wen now loved this sister. Even if he wanted to do something small, he would be harmonious in front of the emperor.
Ning Shu couldn't help rubbing his forehead, feeling a headache. The original owner was an unmarried girl. Is it really good to get involved in her brother's backyard like this? There are palace fights and house fights. Staying out of it is the best choice.
The matter of the marriage, part of which was also because of Concubine Du's involvement, led to the tragic result of the original owner.
To put it bluntly, the original owner was a person who was very stupid in dealing with people, and part of the reason was that she just disdained to do so.
The original owner was not that bad, her mind was still quite simple, but she was too proud, too proud.
"Is Concubine Du looking at me like this because I talked to my brother but not to you, so you look so angry?" Ning Shu said without hesitation, saying whatever she wanted to say.
Concubine Du: ...
Concubine Du's expression was almost frozen, this idiot, he really said whatever he wanted to say, life in the palace requires a sentence to be roundabout, such straightforward words, not only Concubine Du is not used to it, but everyone in this group is not used to it.
Many people had embarrassed expressions on their faces, and they all left, guessing that Shen Qingqing's words just now were too straightforward, and it was so straightforward that everyone was embarrassed.
Ning Shu looked at Concubine Du's angry back and smiled. There was no way to reconcile between her and Concubine Du. In this case, it would be better to tear off the mask of tenderness and at least make these people think twice before they act.
Ning Shu thought about it and decided to visit the Queen's sister-in-law. The original owner would usually talk to this sister-in-law about anything, and the relationship between the two was pretty good.
But there is no real friendship in the harem.
Not to mention the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law.
When Ning Shu came to the Fenglan Hall of the Imperial Palace, she walked into the hall and saw the queen sitting on a couch with serpentine stone surfaces, and behind her were four nanmu primrose-colored carved silk glass screens.
Seeing Ning Shu coming, the Queen stood up quickly and walked towards Ning Shu. Ning Shu bowed to the Queen and said, "Greetings to the Imperial Sister-in-law."
The Queen quickly pulled Ning Shu and held her hand, with a gentle smile on her face, "Looks like you are getting better, Jiahui. You really scared your sister-in-law. Your brother came to tell me to take good care of you."
"Thank you, Imperial Sister-in-law. Jiahui is almost well now." Ning Shu said.
