Chapter 002 Nangong Bingyu

Four years later——

The warm wind blew across the lake, causing a ripple.

The lotus leaves in the sky are swaying, and several early blooming peach blossoms seem to be playing with the lotus leaves.

There is a tea table by the lake. There is a woman standing beside the table. Her hair is not as buns as a woman, but she shakes it casually, and a few wis of mischievous hair dances in the wind.

The woman didn't care. She stared at the pot next to the tea table that was boiling spring water. Her hands were pounding with the freshly picked tea leaves in front of her. From time to time, she took the tip of the tea and smelled the strong fragrance of tea from her nose.

There is a pale pink shirt, and there is no fancy place in the clothes. There are only a few peach blossoms embroidered on the cuffs, and there is no other decoration. Although there is no jewelry all over her body, she still can't hide her stunning beauty, her plain face without gouache, long willow eyebrows, a pair of bright big eyes, and bright red peach lips.

Next to the woman in pink stood a woman in green, with a beautiful face, with a satin green bamboo fan in her hand, which was fanned for the woman in pink. He didn't seem to want to admire the beautiful scenery of early summer, and a pair of bright eyes stared at the woman in pink.

Qingfeng looked at the young lady who had been serving for five years, and her doubts could not dissipate. Since four years ago, the young lady prayed for blessings on Bodhi Mountain in Jingzhou City, she met a flower picking thief in the back mountain. The young lady was frightened for a moment and fell down from the cliff. Since I rescued the young lady, everything has been different?!

In the past, the young lady was cowardly and timid and never stepped out of the green bamboo garden where she lived, but when she woke up, she didn't remember many things, and her character changed, becoming so smart and cute~~

In short, Qingfeng doesn't know how to describe it, just like a different person. In the past, she always worried that the young lady would be bullied by the second lady, but now, for five years, the master is not in charge much. The real person in charge of the Nangong family is the young lady.

Miss has become the real owner of the Nangong family.

"Miss! Miss! It's not good!"

A female voice interrupted Qingfeng's meditation from afar and came to her senses. She saw a helpless smile on the corners of the lady's mouth. She reached out and put the tea tip of the tea she had just selected for a long time in the teacup in front of her. Then, she quickly picked up the mountain spring that had been boiled for a long time, rushed into the cup and soaked it.

In the distance, a red figure ran rapidly in the large tea garden.

Nangong Bingyu handed the sweaty little girl a cup of tea that had already turned into warm water, and then said with a smile, "Speak slowly, don't worry."

The drizzle took the teacup, poured a cup of tea in one breath, and said nervously, "Miss! Lord Xi is here!"

"Your Excellency? Who?!"

Nanggong Bingyu still doesn't quite understand who this Lord Xi is, which makes the little girl so nervous? But that cup of good Longduo new tea is probably a waste.

"It's the father-in-law arranged by the young lady's grandfather to work in the emperor's clean palace. Miss, do you have any impression? The drizzle surprised me a lot. No way, Lord Xi sends some valuable gifts every year on Miss's birthday! But the young lady doesn't even remember her father-in-law?!

Oh! It turned out to be a chess piece arranged by my grandfather around the emperor. According to some news, he is not a good person. In the palace, he secretly killed a lot of masters for the high queen.

Some time ago, the queen died inexplicably in her bedroom, and was later buried by the emperor's order! However, isn't Grandpa Xi in charge of this matter at this moment?

What did he do when he came to the tea garden of Nangong's house without worrying about the queen's grand funeral?

"What is he doing here?" Nangong Bingyu picked up her cup of tea that had been brewed for a while, looked at the swaying lotus leaves in the pool, and asked carelessly.

"He came to convey the imperial edict!"

The drizzle lowered his head, said it in a low voice, and secretly looked at the young lady's face. Although the young lady has changed a lot now, after living with the young lady for so long, she is natural to like freedom.

Although the young lady has already passed her age, she is also 18 years old. Because the young lady does not want to marry, she has not been married to anyone so far, but now the imperial edict has suddenly come. What should the young lady do?

"Holy decree?!"

The smile on Nangong Bingyu's face did not change, his bright eyes flashed with a light, and the smile at the corners of his mouth became joking.

"Hmm. Grandpa Xi has given the imperial edict to the master. The master is so happy that he can't close his mouth. He said that his ancestors burned incense! Even his eyes narrowed into a line. The drizzle looked worried, and his eyebrows were about to fold together.

"Oh, what did the imperial edict say?"

"The imperial edict says that the lady has been awarded the title of imperial concubine by the emperor! Enter the palace in three days!" The drizzle's little face is about to wrinkle **.

Qingfeng was stunned and stopped fanning for the lady. He was a little puzzled, "Uh! What kind of play is the emperor singing? In the Dajing Dynasty, there were four people, farmers, industry and commerce. The so-called four people refer to people who read, farm, work and do business. Reading first, agriculture second, work second, and businessman last. It can be imagine that businessmen are the least in position. Doesn't the emperor look down on businessmen the most? But why did the queen want to be the imperial concubine after her death?

"I think the position of the imperial concubine is still wronged! The young lady is beautiful and intelligent. How can she compete with the queen?" The drizzle muttered with dissatisfaction.

The two maidservants, Qingfeng and Drizzle, talked puzzledly, but found that the person being talked about still casually drinking the cup of tea in their hands!

Looking at the young lady's light expression, it's completely that the lady is not in a hurry, and the two slaves are anxious to death!

Well, the two roared in unison, "Miss!"

“......”

Nangong Bingyu was so scared that she almost threw all the tea cups in her hands to the ground by the sudden roar of the two maids. She looked at them helplessly, "What's wrong?"

Drizzle turned out to be an impulsive girl. Well, she quickly took her hand and said, "Won't you want to see the imperial edict?"

"Khan, what's the beauty of the imperial edict? Isn't it just those words, what else can be done?" Nangong Bingyu shook her head, lowered her eyes, and thought for a while, "However, I'm going to have a look." After all, if you want to enter the palace, you have to see him.

As soon as the breeze and drizzle saw the young lady raise their feet, they went out and quickly followed, "Miss, where are you going?"

"The Duke of Qin."

"Oh! Then I'll prepare clothes for you right away. What color should I wear? Red or your favorite purple? Then the flying bun is fine today. It's noble and generous, and it must be very suitable for the lady~~"

"Stop!" The sparrow is really annoying!" Did I say I would change my clothes?"

"However, in the past, young ladies would dress up when they went to the Duke of Qin's mansion!" The drizzle whispered, and finally he didn't dare to say any more. Instead, Yu Guang looked at the young lady who frowned.

"That was before."

Nangong Bingyu sighed helplessly. She just wanted to see her grandfather. Besides, entering the palace three days later was a very festive thing for the people of the Jing Dynasty, but for her, the place of the palace was simply hell. Although she was awarded the title of imperial concubine, it does not mean that she will be smooth as soon as she enters.

The emperor's decree has been issued. She is the daughter of a merchant. How can she resist the order and disobey it? Fortunately, there is still a grandfather in the court. Anyway, you can still give yourself advice.

"Go to my room to get the Longjian tea that was just dried yesterday, bring that tea, and let's go to see Grandpa." Nangong Bingyu took a step and walked out of the tea garden.
