The concubine is extremely cautious

Jingxi Palace.

Concubine Shu drank two cups of calming tea that night, but her head was still buzzing with anger.

How could there be such a hateful person like Ning Wanyin in this world!

Shunpin took the lead, and all the concubines who became pregnant in the future could follow her example.

Not only was Shunpin's pregnancy difficult, the difficulty of abortion in the entire harem soared to the level of hell.

"What does Ning Wanyin want? It only harms others and does not benefit herself!" Concubine Shu's face turned pale and she gritted her teeth.

Is there any benefit to her if there are so many children in the harem?

She is so positive.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Zhenzhu tremblingly offered another cup of soothing tea.

Concubine Shu waved her hands impatiently, "This palace can't calm down, so drinking tea is useless."

Now, those concubines who wanted to take action against Shunpin are probably having trouble sleeping.

Concubine Shu was angry for half an hour, and finally suppressed her annoyance, "Never mind, there is no such thing as a thousand-day defense against thieves. When time passes and things calm down, she will naturally relax. I don't believe that she can be completely impervious."

Now that the incident with Concubine Tang has just happened, everyone in Changchun Palace must be on high alert.

We also need to hint to Fang Zhaoyi to keep calm and wait for the right opportunity.

After Shufei sorted out all this, she was still upset.

Ning Wanyin, this evil thing, should die sooner.

……

In Qianxin Palace.

Wang Degui described the events in Changchun Palace vividly: "…Your Majesty, you don't know that when Lady Ning finished talking about the 100 palace rules, everyone in Changchun Palace was convinced, and Concubine Shun even immediately sent pearls to show her goodwill."

Helian Qi was also a little surprised. He knew that Ning Wanyin dared to take the job, so she must have some ability, but he didn't expect that she could have such a great ability.

And he is very open-minded.

Not only Shunpin, but all the concubines in the palace who become pregnant will be well protected according to these palace rules in the future.

It is indeed a great achievement.

Helian Qi immediately wanted to take Jinning Wanyin's position, but Shunpin had not given birth yet, so the credit for protecting the fetus was not yet due.

I can only give her some rewards first.

"I see that Concubine Ning likes the jewelry and silks I gave her very much. What treasures are there in the treasury?" Helian Qi looked at Wang Degui and asked.

Wang Degui quickly replied, "The day before yesterday, Nanhu just paid tribute to us with a batch of top-grade cold mist gauze, which is as thin as a cicada's wing, cool and wind-resistant, and is most suitable for making summer clothes. We received four pieces this year."

"That's great. Send them all to Concubine Ning. Anything else?" Helian Qi asked.

Wang Degui was secretly shocked to see that His Majesty actually gave all of it to Ning Wanyin, leaving nothing for the two noble masters Xue Cen, and continued, "This year, the South China Sea paid tribute with top-quality pearls. His Majesty asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a set of pearl jewelry..."

"That's good too. Send it to Lady Ning." Helian Qi nodded with satisfaction, but he still felt it was not enough. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Give her a piece of my dragon-patterned ink."

Wang Degui was completely stunned.

Everyone knows that Your Majesty is good at painting. Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, a special tribute of dragon-patterned smoke ink has been presented to Your Majesty. The thickness of the ink is very suitable for ink painting.

There is only one pair per year, and they are very precious.

Your Majesty has never given it to anyone else.

Compared to those silk jewelry in the treasury that are precious but His Majesty can't remember the names of, this dragon-patterned smoke ink is something that His Majesty uses exclusively, His Majesty's favorite thing, and it can be shared with Ning Wanyin.

This is the first time I see His Majesty favoring a concubine so much!

……

The lanterns are on.

Ning Wanyin had just finished dinner when Wang Degui arrived with boxes of rewards.

The eunuchs carried eight boxes of different sizes.

Wang Degui held a sandalwood box with cloud patterns in his hands.

"Lady Ning, His Majesty has a reward." Wang Degui read out the list of jewelry and silks, and finally handed the cloud-patterned sandalwood box in his hand to Ning Wanyin, saying:

"This is the dragon-patterned inkstone that your majesty likes very much. There is only one pair in the whole palace. One is for your majesty to use, and the other is for you."

Ning Wanyin looked flattered and touched, "How could I be so worthy of receiving such a generous gift from Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty favors me, and this is my blessing." Wang Degui smiled and responded, and then said, "Your Majesty has turned over my name card tonight, and I will prepare to sleep with you."

……

After Wang Degui left, Ning Wanyin rewarded everyone in Lingxue Pavilion as usual.

"Lianrui, get ready to wash and take a pear blossom scented bath today. Also pick out a pair of pearl hairpins..." Ning Wanyin instructed.

Ning Wanyin always prepares seriously for sleeping with the emperor and never does things perfunctorily.

This is the duty of a favorite concubine.

After a while.

Ning Wanyin was only wearing a pear blossom white nightgown, with her black hair half tied up, and her bun decorated with only two pearl hairpins, showing her lazy and freehand style.

Apart from this, there is no other decoration and her bare face is exposed.

Sit quietly in front of the window sill and copy with a pen.

Lian Rui was grinding ink for her master.

When Helian Qi came in, he saw this scene.

He was used to her gorgeous and enchanting appearance, but this fresh and graceful look, with a hint of lazy casualness, was a bright spot in his eyes.

in fact……

This seemingly casual elegance is all carefully planned.

There was no incense in the room on purpose, to avoid it mixing with the pear blossom scent on her body.

The red gauze lanterns originally placed in the house were also replaced with glass lanterns. The windowsill was half open, and the lotus pond a little further away was reflected through the half-open windowsill as a scene.

In the near distance, she is painting with ink, and in the far distance, lotus leaves are standing tall.

The elegance and grace complement each other.

The emperor rewarded Ning Wanyin with precious ink, so of course she had to use it. Painting is an elegant thing, and being too gorgeous is not suitable. She should also change her makeup from time to time to give His Majesty some new feelings.

"Your Majesty..." The footsteps caught Ning Wanyin's attention. She immediately stopped writing and saluted the person who came.

"I didn't know your majesty was coming, and I'm sorry for not coming to greet you..."

"I heard that you were painting, so I didn't let anyone disturb you..." Helian Qi walked straight to Ning Wanyin.

Lian Rui bowed and left tactfully.

Suddenly there were only two people left in the room.

Helian Qi's eyes fell on Ning Wanyin's newly copied ink bamboo, and he felt a little pain in his eyes:

"It's really a waste of a good thing that the Dragon Pattern Smoke Ink has fallen into your hands..."

Ning Wanyin thought to herself, "When you gave me this gift, didn't you know how much I weigh?" But on the surface, her eyes instantly turned red, "I am a vulgar and incompetent concubine..."

Helian Qi originally wanted to reward her, not to scold her. Seeing that she was aggrieved, he changed the subject and said, "You have made a lot of progress compared to before. I will draw it for you..."

Helian Qi picked up the brush on the pen holder, dipped it in ink, and personally taught Ning Wanyin how to paint.

"Your Majesty treats me so well..." Ning Wanyin immediately raised her little face, her eyes sparkling with surprise.

The two were very close to each other, and as he bent slightly to paint, she raised her head and rubbed her lips against his.

There was a faint fragrance coming from her body, like the coolness of pear blossoms, her skin was crystal clear and as delicate as snow, especially her pair of watery eyes, shining like stars.

Helian Qi's mind was shaken by her eyes, and the ink he wrote left an ink stain.

Painting requires a calm mind; it is not suitable to paint if your mind is distracted.

"Come to Qianxin Palace tomorrow and get your writing brush and ink. I will teach you how to paint." Helian Qi put down his brush and directly carried the young woman, who was so close to him, to the empty space on the side of the desk.

"Your Majesty..." Ning Wanyin exclaimed.

The remaining words were sealed with a kiss.
