--Three years later--
After Ningxi went to the Northwest when she was ten years old, she is now thirteen years old and has grown from a baby to a young girl again.
The fifth prince, Xiao Chengyan, took three years to ascend the throne with the help of a group of loyal ministers.
Two months ago, she wandered back to the Chen family from the Northwest. She stopped whenever she could along the way, and even took a detour to the south of the Yangtze River for a few days to visit the beautiful scenery and where the delicious food was. Wherever we go, we go wherever there is fun. It took us almost half a year to get home.
Ningxi is not prepared to pay attention to the messy things in the Chen family. It has been ten years since she came to this strange world after a thousand years. Ten years, so long that she almost thought that she should belong here, no , does not belong here, but belongs to the Northwest.
Ningxi, originally her name was this. She just took the surname of the Chen family when she came here. Speaking of which, her surname should also be Chen, but her parents divorced when she was young. But don’t think that Ningxi’s relationship is because of her mother, because She was a daughter, and her parents didn't like it, and Ning Xi also knew it, so she didn't complain when she was sent to Ning's house. Since her parents didn't like being around them, what good would happen.
"Feng Yi, who shocked the queen, blamed more than just losing her head!" Shen Qingtan, the aunt's daughter next to her, touched Ning Xi's sleeve and reminded her in a low voice.
Ning Xi who came here seems to be very concerned about her own life. For someone who was born in the new century, kneeling down is such an unreasonable thing. You see, what she is doing now is decent.
"Greetings to the Queen!"
The current queen is the daughter of the uncle of the Chen family in Chen Guogong's palace. Her maiden name is Chen Lexuan. She was not present when the empress got married, so naturally she contains a lot of Ningxi's intentional elements.
Now that this has reached the palace, Ningxi laments that power is a good thing from ancient times to the present.
Damn it, you have to kneel all day long!
While Ningxi was dazed for a moment, she didn't hear why the queen summoned the ancestors of the Chen family?
On the way home from the palace, my little cousin grabbed her sleeves nervously and whispered: "Sister Xi'er, I don't want to enter the palace. My mother said that all the women in the palace can eat people. Qingtan is afraid!"
eat human?
This aunt of hers really dared to scare her own daughter. Ningxi touched the head of her cousin, who was only one year younger than herself, and comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay. You and I have three sisters who are not yet married, and you and I are still young." Small."
Even though she said this, Ning Xi's heart still shuddered.
Ningxi didn't want it to be her. She had planned to stay in the Chen family for two years and choose a husband from among her father's subordinates before going to live in the northwest.
But what Ningxi didn't expect was that what she least expected would come true.
Ningxi held the imperial edict in confusion, but cursed a dog in her heart.
Who wants to enter the palace to serve the dog emperor?
She didn't dare to say anything now, for fear that she would make a mistake if she said too much. From the time she returned to the Chen family in Northwest China to hide herself, there was no need to expose herself now. People were already suspicious yesterday, so there was no need to make herself more suspicious today.
Ning Xi thought for a moment that she was only thirteen years old. If that playboy emperor dared to bite her, she would risk her life with him!
Ningxi dares to indulge in this life-threatening thing by herself at home, what should she do?
It was approaching the night before entering the palace.
Ningxi was lying on the bed turning back and forth. The little maid Forsythia was feeling anxious as she watched. The young lady was worried, and so was the slave!
"Miss, why don't we run away!"
Ningxi asked Forsythia to sit by the bed with her to think of a solution, but the girl spent a long time thinking about this sentence for herself.
She would have run away long ago, why did she wait until now? She is a stinky girl who is usually useless, and now she looks even more useless!
Ningxi glanced at Forsythia with a sigh, the girl who couldn't choose by herself cried and insisted on using it.
How boring!
Ningxi pinched Forsythia's plump cheeks, which were so tender, and then turned her hand and pinched her own, which was even tenderer.
"Forsythia, please take a rest early. We sisters won't be so lucky to sleep in tomorrow!"
Dog Emperor!
This girl’s father defended his homeland for him at the border, but he forced himself to marry his daughter. It’s so chilling, so chilling!
Ningxi muttered the words "Taihanxin" in her mouth. She got tired of repeating it for a long time and fell asleep in a daze.
Thinking of the day she just turned thirteen, the Chen family sent a letter, as if they had calculated the time, how come the time was so perfect.
When the imperial edict came, Ningxi finally understood that it was not just a coincidence. The Chen family had plotted against their family and welcomed her home under the guise of filial piety.
No wonder she was running around here and there, and those dog slaves didn't say a word. I'm afraid the head of the Chen family had already anticipated everything and explained everything.
Knowing that Ningxi was not willing to return to the Chen family, and letting her go as she pleased, he did not stop her from doing anything during the two months she had been home, but he just pretended to let her enter the palace, and they met her by chance. The emperor.
Ha~
Thinking about it, Ning Xi felt like a fool in the past two months. She even deliberately hid her clumsiness and pretended to be dumbfounded. What was the result?
As expected of the Chen family!
The Chen family, which had always claimed to protect the emperor, successfully married another daughter to the current emperor after the prince's fall.
Ningxi didn't know what the Chen family's purpose was in the emperor's decree to personally designate the concubine. They had obviously sent Chen Lexuan into the palace and ascended the throne, so why did they bother to harm her? Aren't you afraid of causing the emperor's resentment?
Ningxi was confused at this time. When she entered the palace and knew the Queen's behavior, she felt a little confused. No wonder she was brought into the palace.
Totally a fool!
In the future life of the palace concubine, Ningxi knows that the Queen is an unreasonable fool. You can never expect her to make any correct decisions.
It didn't matter if others acted stupidly in front of her, she would join in the fun, and Ningxi would be so angry that she would go behind someone's back every time in the future.
The late emperor passed away, and the fifth prince Xiao Chengyan succeeded to the throne, with the reign title Jianyuan.
The eighth day of October in the first year of Jianyuan
Ningxi was welcomed into the palace by the great eunuch Wan Gonggong who was beside the emperor. Ningxi silently got on the small sedan chair, muttering to herself, she must have a long face. I didn’t expect that she could wear red and enter the palace. palace!
However, the emperor's behavior also made Ningxi attract the attention of the women in the harem, including her cousin, the empress.
Thinking about it, no matter how high the status of a concubine is, there is also a queen. To put it bluntly, you are just a concubine. Who wouldn't be jealous if you wore red and entered the emperor's house.
The moment Ningxi put on this wedding dress, she knew that she had become a thorn in the eyes of the harem people. Fortunately, she was still young, and the dog emperor was just pretending. Some people with above-average IQs should not make it too difficult for her.
Yongfu Palace
After finally waiting for all the slaves to retreat, Ningxi took off the hijab on his head and looked at the inner room where he would live in the future.
As soon as Forsythia came in with the snacks, she saw her lady, no, my queen, she actually lifted her hijab by herself, "My queen, why did you lift your hijab? Isn't this against the rules?"
"Rules?" Ningxi stood up from the bed. She followed the rules when no one was around.
He picked up a piece of snack that Forsythia had just brought and stuffed it into his mouth. Not to mention, it was a palace snack, and the taste was sweet but not greasy. It was better to control it this late in the evening.
Forsythia looked at her mother-in-law's little hand that wanted to take it but was hesitant, and sighed: Food is nothing in front of beauty!
Just as Forsythia was taking away the snacks, there was a loud shout outside the door: "The Emperor has arrived!"
Oh my god, the boss is here.
To be honest, when Ning Xi saw the real emperor for the first time, he didn't know whether it was a conditioned reflex or something else, but he knelt down with a "poof~".
This was not the first time for Xiao Chengyan to meet his noble concubine. He thought that when he went to the northwest, he had the honor to see her horseback riding skills. She was very courageous at a young age.
When the emperor was looking at her, Ningxi was secretly scanning him with her peripheral vision. She looked good-looking but had an indifferent face.
"If Jiaojiao doesn't plan to lower her head and look at me all night?"
Jiaojiao? How does he know his nickname?
Ningxi was very surprised, but he played into his game and raised her head, their eyes meeting each other.
Xiao Chengyan looked at the little girl looking at him with doubt in her eyes, and suddenly smiled without feeling.
When he smiled like this, the alarm bell in Ningxi's heart immediately rang. Why did he suddenly use such a charming smile to show his charm to me, an underage child?
"Have a rest!"
Take a break? No, you can chew on a seedling like me!
Ning Xi's already uneasy heart became even more uneasy now.
Xiao Chengyan looked at the little girl standing aside blankly, and sighed in his heart.
This daughter, who is held in the palm of his hand by the general, cannot be beaten or scolded. It has long been rumored that General Chen dotes on his wife and daughter. He is afraid that his daughter will suffer a disadvantage in the Chen family when she is young, so he takes her to the northwest in the name of being unfilial. However, in the end, he still He was sent to the palace by the ancestors of the Chen family.
Although the ancestor of the Chen family was the mastermind, the emperor could not avoid being implicated. After all, General Chen's only daughter was sent to the palace to become his concubine.
"Come here, wait for the imperial concubine to take a bath!"
The palace servants who were waiting outside the door heard the emperor's summons and came in immediately.
Ningxi went down to the small cubicle surrounded by palace people, "Wait, wait, wait a minute!"
Even though the sisters are all of the same sex, they can't just come up and take off their clothes without saying a word. Ningxi grabbed her clothes and refused to let go, "Ahem, I'm not used to being waited on while bathing, so please leave first. "
For a moment, all the maids retreated.
Ningxi watched everyone go out before slowly starting to undress, and thought to herself: Taking a bath is a process of slow enjoyment, and the time must be long enough.
Xiao Chengyan sat on the edge of the bed, holding Ningxi's hijab and looking through it, feeling a little regretful.
No matter how good she is on the surface, this young lady from the Chen family will eventually become a concubine in the harem. How can General Chen let it go?
Ning Xi came out in her pajamas and found Xiao Chengyan still sitting by the bed. She had been washing for half an hour, "Why isn't the emperor sleeping yet?"
Hearing the sound, Xiao Chengyan put the hijab in his hand aside, raised his head and asked, "But is it washed clean?"
"Reply to the emperor and I will be clean."
"Why don't you come over and sleep? I'm waiting for you to come over and hug you."
Ningxi shook her head quickly, "How dare I bother you? I have very good legs and feet."
It was really quick, and he got into bed quickly before he finished speaking.
"Be honest with me."
Ningxi pursed her lips and said very dissatisfied: "Then don't hold me between your legs. I won't feel comfortable sleeping like this."
"I, this is to prevent you from moving around again, okay, go to bed quickly!"
Seeing Ning Xi pouting her little mouth and looking unhappy, Xiao Chengyan stretched out his hand to stretch the quilt for the two of them, then closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Are you going to sleep now?
After a peaceful night, Xiao Chengyan had already gone to court when Ningxi woke up.
As a slave who grew up as a child, Forsythia knew how "honest" her master was when sleeping. No, as soon as Wan Gonggong, who was waiting for the emperor to wash, left, Forsythia hurried in to take care of her uneasy master.
This situation?
Forsythia deliberately walked softly for fear of waking her master. As a result, she walked to the bed and opened the bed curtain. She saw that her master was tightly wrapped in a quilt and surrounded by pillows.
Where did the emperor learn this method? Why does it feel like the method used by the sister-in-law in memory to prevent the infant nephew from rolling to the ground? Could it be that the emperor treats the empress as the child.
Forsythia looked at her master sleeping soundly. She might have woken up later than usual after sleeping so comfortably, so she went out and asked the people in the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Half an hour later~
After Ningxi woke up, she kicked away the pillows surrounding her, then shouted out the door: "Forsythia!"
"What time is it? Don't miss the chance to pay your respects to our queen sister."
"Don't worry, the time is just right." Forsythia handed the hairpin in her hand to her master, and when she saw his master nodded, she held her hair with confidence.
"When did your Majesty get up? Why didn't you wake me up?"
"The emperor ordered that the servants not to disturb you. He said that the queen is still growing and needs to eat more and sleep more."
What? What did the emperor say? Ningxi really wanted to slap herself for talking too much!
"Forsythia, your master's temper has been too good recently. Is your skin itchy?"
You are laughing at me, and you are still so upright. I am getting more and more courageous. I am afraid your mouth will be bent when you smile.
