Collision
The Empress nodded with relief on her face and said with a
smile, "good child, don't be too polite. Come sit down."
As soon as the words fell, the Fifth Prince couldn't wait to
pull Nangong Yue to sit down. A sharp-eyed palace maid swiftly put a chair
beside Nangong Yue and asked her to sit down.
The lovely appearance of the Fifth prince once again amused
everyone in the hall. Seeing everyone laughing at themselves, the fifth prince
couldn't help but blush.
He whispered in Nangong Yue's ear: "Jiejie, am I
very funny?" Small face is full of entanglement, seeing this Nangong Yue can’t
help but want to pinch his face.
Holding back the smile, Nangong Yue also whispered:
"no, everyone thinks you are very cute."
The Fifth prince nodded ignorantly, and then asked, "jiejie,
what's your name?"
Nangong Yue looked at the small face of the fifth prince,
her eyes could not help being soft. Maybe she hated Han Lingfu and hated this
ugly and sinister royal family. But she couldn’t hate the small person in front
of her. In a daze, she heard herself say: "Nangong Yue, my name is Nangong
Yue."
Yes, that’s right. Her name is Nangong Yue. Nangong Yue who having
an irreconcilable enmity with this dynasty and with Han lingfu.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, restrained her almost out of
control emotions as quickly as possible, and chatted with the fifth prince
casually.
After the First prince, Second prince and Third prince gave
the Empress Qingguoan[2] (greets), they all retired, leaving only the fifth
prince to continue to nest beside Nangong Yue.
The Mama next to the Empress suddenly whispered some
words in the Empress’s ear. The Empress curled her lips slightly and said, “A
few days ago, the Nangong family offered valuable treasure and made a
meritorious contribution. It can be seen that they are loyal and devoted to the
imperial dynasty. The Emperor is very pleased and specially orders Bengong to
take advantage of this opportunity to give a reward."
While they were talking, a row of palace maids came in each
carrying red silk-covered discs or mahogany boxes, standing behind Su Shi and
others. Su Shi and others immediately got up and bowed down:
"Thank the Empress niangniang."
The Empress nodded modestly, "Get up."
On the side Zhang Guifei’s eyes flashed a sharp
light, which seemed to envy: "I heard that this treasure is called xuanhuang
Linglong ginseng. It's indeed a rare treasure! Liu Fei meimei was
originally infected with a strange disease and her health was not very good.
The Emperor rewards this elixir to meimei. After taking it, meimei recovered
better within a few days." With that, she sighed, "Only a meimei who
is so favored can have such a good blessing."
Upon hearing this, Liu Fei frowned slightly, and
Zhang Guifei clearly wanted to provoke her relationship with the
Empress.
"Things are for people to use. No matter how precious
they are, they can't be worth their health. Liu fei was not in good health. The
Emperor gave xuanhuang Linglong ginseng to the guifei. Zhang Guifei should
not be envious. If you feel unwell, the emperor will do the same."
Zhang Guifei's words were broken by the Empress’s few words.
Liu Fei’s expression also softened, but there was a trace of disdain
hidden between her eyes. In this way, Zhang Guifei is not easy to say
anything. The atmosphere is slightly stiff, only the fifth Prince doesn't care,
still speaking childish words.
Su Shi and others did not dare to come out of the
atmosphere. How dare others interfere in the struggle between imperial
concubines.
In the end, Liu Fei broke the deadlock. She smiled
slightly, and the dark light of Dan Kou[2] on her fingertips,
"Speaking of it, Bengong really wanted to thank XuanHuang Linglong
ginseng of Nangong Mansion. If it weren't for that ginseng, Bengong’s
body wouldn't heal so fast."
"It's Chen fu’s honor to be able to help Liu Fei
Niangniang" Su Shi said humbly, and then listened to Nangong
Yue proudly saying in a childish tone: "Back to Niangniang, That’s natural.
According to Chen nu’s maternal grandfather, XuanHuang Linglong ginseng
is a rare elixir in the world. Legend has it that as long as a person has a
breath, he can be brought back to life."
Su Shi glanced at Nangong Yue with some displeasure
and felt that she did not know the occasion.
On the contrary, the Empress, as if thinking moved her eyebrows
slightly and asked with a subtle: "Yue girl, your maternal grandfather is
the genius doctor Lin Jingchen?"
The genius doctor Lin Jingchen is well-known in the world
and there is no trace all year around, which means that it is difficult for
people to seek medical treatment. There is another thing that people rarely
know. Lin Jingchen's only daughter married into the Nangong family. And the
Empress even investigated this in advance. Obviously she was very scheming, not
as hopeless as she showed.
That's good. Nangong Yue smiled slightly. If the Empress is
too useless, she can save the fifth prince this time, but she can't save the
next time. How can she expect them to become the opponents of Han lingfu.
"Yes!” She replied respectfully. It was for the Empress
to know the identity of her maternal grandfather so that she could have a chance
to treat the fifth prince. That's why she deliberately said that at the risk of
angering Su Shi.
The Empress didn't seem to care and said casually, "Yue
girl, it's hard for you and Fan’er to get along. How about you guys going to
the imperial garden together?" Then she looked at the fifth prince,
"Fan'er, what do you think?"
Nangong Yue hasn't answered yet, the Fifth prince has
already jumped up excitedly, "good, good, jiejie, let's go out and
play together."
Seeing the look of expectation on the Fifth Prince, Nangong
Yue smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Su Shi was naturally happy that her granddaughter was
favored by the royal family, and gave Nangong Yue a look, indicating that she
should be careful.
Led by the fifth Prince and accompanied by two mamas,
the four of them soon came to the imperial garden. The fifth Prince kept
introducing the scenery and flowers to Nangong Yue. The atmosphere was very
pleasant.
Nangong Yue stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar Imperial
Garden blankly and couldn't help but be in trance.
In her previous life, she preferred orchids. Han Lingfu
planted orchids all over the imperial garden and collected almost all orchid
species in the world... She thought he really loved her, but didn't know that
the other party was not for her, but his Bai beauty.
In the end, the whole garden of orchids was also destroyed
by her. When she learned that his true love was not her, when she learned that
the Nangong family had been wiped out, there were three hundred and
twenty-eight people from all over the clan, none of them were spared. Some were
beheaded on the spot, some were beheaded after being paraded in the street, and
some were executed by Ling Chi (death by thousand cuts). The original beautiful
Nangong Mansion was left with an empty shell and an abandoned empress.
Everyone sighs that the things in the world are inconstant.
Nangong Yue's expression was slightly trance. At this
moment, a palace maid suddenly came out from nowhere, holding a watering pot in
her hand, and slammed on Nangong Yue... Before Nangong Yue recovered she heard
Li mama’s angry rebuke, the palace maid’s begging for mercy and her
skirt, which had got wet in most of the places.
"Useless guy, clumsy, don't pack things up and roll
down." Li mama scolded the palace maid while winking at the palace
maid to get out of sight of Nangong Yue and the Fifth prince.
"Sorry, sorry, Slave didn't mean it." The Palace
maid begged for mercy while hurriedly cleaning up the debris.
"Girl Nangong, shall the old slave take you to change
your clothes?" Another Wen mama asked respectfully to Nangong Yue.
Glancing helplessly at the wet skirt, Nangong Yue had to
say, "I have a troubled mama."
"Please follow the old slave."
