Chapter 347: Women in the Palace Do Not Live Long
"Grandma, Xiang'er and I are going to play in the yard."
Madam Zhan stood up.
"Madam Zhan, there's no need to follow. Let the children play by themselves."
Madam Zhan wanted to follow, but was stopped by the Queen.
"Qian Ning, don't go too far." Madam Zhan warned loudly.
"I see."
Madam Zhan was still worried as she looked at the door.
"Madam Zhan really loves this child." The queen smiled, also puzzled.
Why does she care so much about other people's children?
She looked at Concubine Zhan again and saw her reaction. She couldn't help but chuckle in her heart. Even her own children might not be so concerned about Concubine Zhan.
Isn't she jealous?
"Let's get along better." Madam Zhan said lightly.
The queen didn't say anything.
Princess Chu Yue of Dongyi entered the palace and happened to meet Ye Qianning and the others, but they just glanced at each other and then passed by quickly.
Ye Qianning turned around and stared at her back. She had a gloomy aura and her internal strength was even stronger than Luo Wen's. How could a princess exude such an aura?
"So beautiful." Nan Xiang followed her gaze and couldn't help but say.
"She is quite pretty." She is one of the most beautiful women in Dongwei.
"I'm talking about the red emerald she wears around her neck."
“…”
Ye Qianning also clearly felt Chu Yue's back tremble, and his mood suddenly improved. He turned his head to stare at Nan Xiang and couldn't help but pinch her little face: "You are so cute."
"Huh?" Nan Xiang didn't understand why she was so happy.
"Let's go out for a walk." Ye Qianning felt that Nan Xiang was the epitome of a cute girl.
It is really soft, sticky and sweet.
"Okay, follow me. There is a rockery not far from Kunning Palace. There is a little turtle in the water. I wrote words on the turtle last time. I wonder if it is still there." Nan Xiang walked happily.
The two of them left Kunning Palace in the blink of an eye. The rockery that Nan Xiang mentioned was exactly the place they had to pass by to go to Xihua Garden.
The palace is very big. Ye Qianning had been to the palace twice before, both times at night. During the day, he could see the luxurious palace, the huge hall, and the countless pavilions and towers.
Not far away stood two tall attics, shaped like towers, rising one upon another.
It should be the Book Pavilion and Wanbao Tower that Xiao Ximi mentioned. According to Ximi, there are countless treasures in Wanbao Tower, all of which are silver and shiny and very beautiful.
The library is full of tattered books, nothing good.
Broken book?
The library in the Beili Imperial Palace must contain rare books in the world, otherwise it would not be guarded so strictly.
"Fatty, what are you thinking about?" Nan Xiang chattered on and on, but when she turned around she realized she didn't seem to hear him.
Ye Qianning retracted his gaze: "I was wondering who named the light veil wings you mentioned."
"Haha, I thought you didn't hear it." Nan Xiang smiled and said, "It's Concubine Chong. She's a very nice person."
"Then she must be very talented."
She was a little curious about what kind of rockery could be named Light Veil Wings.
"Yes, Concubine Chong was well-versed in poetry and songs. She even taught me how to write. That little turtle was raised by Concubine Chong for me." Nan Xiang's eyes dimmed as she spoke, "But Concubine Chong is no longer with us."
"Human misfortunes and blessings are unpredictable, please accept my condolences."
"Well... good people never live long."
Ye Qianning sighed softly.
Good people live long, but they just don’t live long in the palace.
If you don't fight or compete, misfortune will come from the sky. You will be killed by any random charge. Sometimes it is a disease caused by long-term shock and suppressed worries.
Therefore, many concubines were in poor health and did not live long.
