Chapter 134 Looking for someone
Chapter 134 Looking for someone
Two palace maids were talking in low voices while cleaning.
"Even if you don't want your life anymore, I still do. Who can you ask? Why are you asking this?"
The older palace maid glared at her fiercely, not even realizing where she was. It would be disastrous if someone heard her.
"Oh, sister, you know that my sister was chosen a few days ago to serve His Majesty in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, which is a great joyous event.
But a few days ago, His Majesty brought back a woman who refused to eat or drink and was making a fuss all day long.
How can we servants get away with anything? My sister has been beaten three times. Every time she eats, His Majesty punishes the servants, and even the imperial chef is punished as well."
"Is your sister serving her now?"
The older maid was surprised, then looked at her with sympathy:
"Then you sisters really need to be careful. That one is the one mentioned earlier. I heard she was pregnant when she was lost. I don't know how she suddenly died. Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, he wants to make another woman the queen. How can she not make a fuss?"
The palace maid then asked worriedly:
"Please, sister, please give me some advice. My sister will definitely be in trouble if this continues. How can we sisters survive?"
Tang Ning rolled her eyes in disdain, making Nuannuan act like a monster. Since it was the emperor who punished people, they didn't dare to blame him, so they could only make trouble for Nuannuan.
"You don't even understand this. Don't you know who will be in charge of the harem from now on?"
The maid quickly nodded in thanks:
"Thank you for your advice, sister, but my sister and I don't have any acquaintances in the palace. How can we surrender?"
"Just wait. Given the current situation, you don't have to look for anyone deliberately. Someone will find you."
Tang Ning felt that she was really asking for trouble. Was it possible that the emperor chose her sister because she and her sister had no acquaintances in the palace?
At the same time, the words of the older palace maid also explained the embarrassing situation Song Nuannuan was in here.
The queen is about to enter the palace. As the principal wife, she is not even as good as a concubine before she is canonized.
Even these palace maids dare to make up stories about her at will. Gu Mujun, you really deserve to die. You have such a damn good life!
If she hadn't killed the Queen and the Crown Prince for him, and if Gu Mufeng's mother hadn't killed the late Emperor and then helped him quell the war, he would have been able to sit on that throne and enjoy himself.
As a result, the first sword you strike when you get ashore is to kill the person you love, right?
Just thinking about it makes me feel that it’s not worth it for Nuannuan.
Late at night, the imperial kitchen was silent. The remaining palace maids and eunuchs had all gone to bed. Tang Ning waited until the second half of the night.
Only then did he run out of the flowerpot, carefully avoiding the guards along the way.
She hid and searched at the same time, but the palace was too big and she didn't know where the Qianqing Palace was.
However, thinking that the emperor should live in the middle place, she could only walk towards the middle, and as she walked, she came to the familiar imperial garden.
The sky is gradually getting brighter. If we continue looking, we will be seeking death.
Tang Ning hid in a pile of flower pots in the imperial garden, waiting for an opportunity.
"Hurry up and work, don't be lazy. His Majesty is getting married soon, and these flowers must be taken good care of. No mistakes are allowed."
Early in the morning, when things were officially busy, Tang Ning finally understood why there were so many new flowers in the Imperial Garden.
The eunuch in charge spoke in a high voice. Tang Ning felt herself being moved. She was a little afraid of being discovered, after all, she had exposed a little bit of herself.
"Send these flowers to Kunning Palace. Be careful. These are newly arrived, precious varieties. If any of them get damaged, you'll be in big trouble!"
"Yes!"
Tang Ning calculated how long he had been walking as the flower pot moved.
We are going to Kunning Palace. The Queen’s palace should be the closest to the Emperor, and we can also eat some melons while we are there.
"Xiaoyue, last time you went to see Madam and told her that you wanted to serve in Kunning Palace, did Madam agree?"
"No, the nanny said I was wishful thinking and told me to wait for the Queen's assignment."
"Ah! If even your nanny won't help, then there's no need for me to even think about it."
"You are prettier than me. Maybe one day His Majesty will be attracted by your beauty and you can become a rich lady. Unlike me, I will be destined to be a maid for the rest of my life."
"Stop talking nonsense. How am I good-looking? If you ask me, you're more adorable."
"If His Majesty takes a liking to you, don't forget your sisters in the future!"
The two of them chatted back and forth, and when they were excited, they even joked with each other.
What a wicked feudal society! A girl of such age, who has just entered high school in modern times, is busy doing exercises every day to change her destiny.
There are plenty of male classmates who can indulge in romantic feelings, but now that she is trapped in this palace, the only person she can fantasize about is an old man, the emperor.
Although Gu Mujun is good-looking, he is also an old man in his thirties.
No, a wedding?
Tang Ning calculated the time. The palace was heavily guarded. She estimated that she would only have the chance to take Nuannuan away when the emperor got married.
The emperor's wedding is not far away, so he might as well go there when the time comes and give Gu Mujun a big gift.
The days of waiting in Kunning Palace were a bit boring.
When she had nothing to do, she would run around and familiarize herself with the routes in the palace. Finally, she finally found where the Qianqing Palace was.
But there were too many guards and she didn't dare to get close.
She buried herself in a flowerpot near the Qianqing Palace, hoping to take the opportunity to see Song Nuannuan.
I could always hear the emperor and Song Nuannuan's voices, but I never saw Song Nuannuan come out.
Is this manly enough to put Nuannuan under house arrest?
The day before the wedding, Tangning finally saw Song Nuannuan, whom she had been thinking about for a long time.
The emperor accompanied her out at Song Nuannuan's request. She leaned weakly in his arms and said she wanted to see the peonies.
Peonies? The Queen loved peonies the most. When did she start liking them?
The Imperial Garden is full of peonies. Is she going to the Imperial Garden?
Oh my god!
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble. I could have just waited for someone in the Imperial Garden.
"Your Majesty! Great joy, Your Majesty!"
"Why are you so flustered? What if you scare the imperial concubine?!"
The eunuch, who was beaming with joy, was shattered in an instant by the emperor, and stood there in a daze.
Nuannuan finally said that she wanted to appreciate the flowers with him, but he didn't understand her at all.
"It was my fault, Your Majesty, that I was reckless. Please forgive me!"
The chief eunuch quickly knelt down to apologize, then humbly stepped aside.
Song Nuannuan suddenly lost interest and pushed the emperor away in boredom:
"Since you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I suddenly don't feel like watching it anymore."
After saying that, she turned around and went back to the house, shrinking herself back inside. The shocking bright red outside made her heart ache.
Even though the emperor had instructed that the Qianqing Palace not to be decorated, the joy that could not be concealed from the outside would still be transmitted to her mind through anyone.
You can't just ignore this kind of thing if you don't want to. Even if you can't see it, you can still hear the heated discussions of the palace maids and eunuchs.
