After coming out of the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, Ningxi strolled to Jiangyun Tower, where he had nothing to do and changed places to bask in the sun.

Since taking over the affairs of the harem, she has become more and more successful and has lost the resistance she had before. Moreover, with so much power in her hands, she can still control her sister.

"Fu Ling, go tell Chai Ruyi that no one can make mistakes without being a sage. I am not unreasonable here, but if it happens again, hey, let him make his own decisions."

In the Yongfu Palace, Chai Ruyi was still waiting for the imperial concubine to return to the palace. After being left out for such a long time, Chai Ruyi became more and more confused. It must be said that the imperial concubine was still young and was said to be kind-hearted by people in the harem. But what happened yesterday, this The master may not be as kind as he appears on the surface.

"Sister Poria is back!"

"Eunuch Chai, your Majesty is still having dinner in the Queen Mother's Palace. I don't think Eunuch Chai is anxious, so I sent my servant to tell you."

Naturally, Fuling repeated her master's words and fell in love with Chai Ruyi.

"But the master's actual words?"

"But these are the master's true words."

Seeing the look on Poria's face, Chai Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, and after a polite conversation, Chai Ruyi left.

Less than a quarter of an hour after Chai Ruyi left, Ningxi returned to the palace with Forsythia.

Fu Ling brought the freshly brewed tea and asked with a smile: "Empress, did you come back at the right time?"

Ningxi took a sip and gave her an appreciative look, "Son, you can serve tea to your master as soon as he returns to the palace."

"Tell the kitchenette to make a pot for dinner tonight."

She had never had this bite since she returned to the capital from the northwest, and she suddenly became ravenous today.

"Eunuch Wan, what do you think our noble concubine is doing now?"

Eunuch Wan looked at the hourglass. At this time, the young master was probably thinking about dinner, but he didn't dare to say anything. "When I return to the emperor, will the queen be handling palace affairs?"

"Palace affairs?" That tone sounded like it would be ridiculous for Ningxi to be dealing with palace affairs at the moment.

Xiao Chengyan smiled, Eunuch Wan was such a cunning old man.

"Let's go to Yongfu Palace!"

Why did the emperor become so evil the moment he met the imperial concubine?

However, if this man becomes interested in women, he will be out of control.

Xiao Chengyan went to the little girl just to tease the little girl. Thinking of the girl's behavior when she first entered the palace, how did General Chen's family teach such a little fox? Humph, just pretending!

When Xiao Chengyan arrived at Yongfu Palace, Ningxi was choosing tonight's hotpot dishes in the small kitchen. The days when I sat around eating pots with my parents and three younger brothers in Northwest China were so nostalgic!

It's been half a year since my grandma last sent a letter home. Counting the time, my little brother or sister should be born.

"Your Majesty, good luck!"

Ning Xi looked up and saw that the man was wearing a dragon robe, holding up the small door curtain with one hand and standing there with the other behind his back.

This man has been ill recently. Why does he come to her palace from time to time? After waiting for a while and seeing that the man was still standing still, Ningxi accepted his fate and put down the basin in his hand without saying hello, thinking that it would be a good idea to greet the Dog Emperor all day long.

"Why did the emperor come to my concubine's palace at this hour?"

Seeing that Xiao Chengyan was finally willing to pay attention to her, Xiao Chengyan said nothing and watched as people fetched her water to clean her hands.

After waiting for her to dry, Xiao Chengyan led her out of the small kitchen, "I didn't expect that the imperial concubine can actually cook."

"No one from the aristocratic family has ordered any cooking skills. Besides, I only talk a lot when I go to the kitchen. There aren't many things that really require my hands-on work."

Ningxi's hand was led by the two of them all the way to the palace. Recently, this person always took the initiative to lead her, and the number of visits to Yongfu Palace became more and more frequent. Ningxi frowned, logically speaking, there was a new person in the harem, the dog The emperor shouldn't be looking for his gentle hometown. He always comes here for a walk when he has nothing to do.

what to do? I really want to chase people away!

"Are you planning to eat pot tonight?"

"Your Majesty, please stay and eat together." Considering the crowd and the excitement, Ningxi decided to keep the dog emperor.

After Xiao Chengyan agreed, Ningxi couldn't help but regretted letting him stay. Naturally, Forsythia and the others didn't dare to go to the table and eat together. Then it would be just the two of them, which would make it even worse!

Xiao Chengyan saw the regret in her eyes and took out a letter from his sleeve, "General Chen's folder has arrived today, and there is a letter inside."

letter? Could it be that A Niang gave birth!

"Did Aniang give birth to a younger brother or a younger sister for me?"

When Xiao Chengyan heard this, this girl thought he had opened the letter, "This is what your father wrote to you, how dare I open it privately."

Ningxi happily took the letter and opened it directly, with a rare smile, "I have a brother again!"

I have a younger brother again~

Xiao Chengyan sighed softly and prayed for himself and his little brother who was far away in the northwest.

"Dad and grandma have been looking forward to a little girl, but then a boy comes. Daddy is disappointed now."

General Chen was naturally angry when he heard that his wife had given birth to a boy. When he thought about his only treasure entering the palace and becoming a concubine, he felt even more unhappy. Therefore, most of the contents of the information passed this time were to create trouble for the emperor.

General Chen's current mood is roughly: I have allowed your little bastard to sneak into the palace without saying a word for the daughter I have cherished for more than ten years. I can't have any overt complaints here.

Xiao Chengyan clearly understood that his country still had to rely on his father-in-law, General Chen, to guard it. It was difficult to have a military general as his father-in-law. The reply to the memorial also expressed my attitude: I will never let the imperial concubine suffer any injustice in the harem.

Of course, your daughter's temperament will not suffer in my harem. Xiao Chengyan is afraid that he can only hold back his complaints. Because currently this girl is still playing pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and I am afraid that it will be immediately revealed that this girl’s fangs are too powerful.

Ningxi sat down and read Aniang's letter several times, thinking about writing a reply before dinner.

He took out the letter paper and was about to pick up the pen when he saw Xiao Chengyan sitting quietly and calmly beside him. He didn't see that he was about to write a letter, so he didn't take the initiative to avoid it.

Ning Xi was a little annoyed. Could the leader of a country be more discerning? "Your Majesty, please don't peek into my mother and I's private conversations!"

What a joke, does this girl think she can't trust me?

Xiao Chengyan looked at some books on the desk, picked up the top one that Ningxi often read, and motioned to her, saying, "I'm sitting here reading this, and I won't read your reply."

Everyone said they didn't know how to read, so Ningxi didn't say anything. She just snorted and said in her heart: "It's annoying, so I picked up the pen and started writing."

In the evening, Ningxi had the pot as she wished. Although it was just her and the dog emperor, and the atmosphere was not in place, the dog emperor's service to her was worthy of a five-star rating.

Xiao Chengyan didn't know why. He was obviously a person who was afraid of trouble before. In the past, he would avoid the eldest prince if he asked him to hug him, but after meeting this little girl, she could endure it no matter how much trouble she gave him. .

Recently, he has been coming to Yongfu Palace frequently, and he has become more and more comfortable in serving clothes and meals, and this little girl is even more unambiguous in giving orders to him.

"Why do you have to get up so early today?" Xiao Chengyan looked at Ningxi who got out of bed and was a little surprised.

It is strange to say that the imperial concubine who has been in the palace for more than a year has never started to move until the emperor rested in her palace. Today, after the people next to her suddenly made some movement, she also got up.

Today, not only did he get up, but he also helped the emperor dress with his own hands.

Not to mention the emperor's expression of disbelief, even the serving father-in-law felt confused. This noble concubine was unprofitable and could not afford to be early. Could it be that the harem was going to change?

Ningxi accompanied the emperor to have some breakfast, and eagerly stood at the gate of the palace to send people off to the morning court.

Seeing the emperor disappear from sight, Fu Ling supported her master and asked: "Master, do you want to go and take a nap?"

Ningxi yawned and shook her head. She was lying back now. Her good sister was not happy for a few days. She had nothing to do and went online. She said that women in the harem obey the rules. "I finally got up early, how can I be here?" Lie down and go pay your respects to the queen sister."

She didn't do it just to show off to those harem gossips, she even wanted to show it off to her sister.

"Our master finally woke up early. If you can, please give the queen some eye drops and make her angry for a few days."

As soon as Forsythia finished speaking, Ning Xi rolled her eyes, "You are just a poor person. Seeing that you are so energetic, go and clean up your master's warehouse!"

When she heard that she was assigned such an arduous task, Forsythia really wanted to give herself a few seconds ago a chance to talk more and make you laugh at her master.

Yong'an Palace

This was neither the first day nor the fifteenth day of the lunar month. The concubines saw that the noble concubine was sitting in the Queen's Palace drinking tea early in the morning. Moreover, the look on the face of the person sitting there was extremely different. The two sisters were probably secretly fighting again.

Concubine Liu Shu suppressed her smile and asked An to sit down.

"All the sisters are here today, and I have something to discuss with you all."

Ningxi lowered her head when she heard the word "discuss". She always said something nice and found trouble all day long!

"This is not the Mid-Autumn Festival. The previous emperor came over and told me about the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. I secretly thought that we sisters could take this opportunity to get together and reminisce about the past. Today I would like to ask all sisters how we will celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. The dinner party is very lively, do you have any good ideas?"

After listening to the Queen's words, Concubine Liu Shu sneered in her heart. I'm afraid the Emperor didn't propose it to her. The maid next to her the day before yesterday said that the Emperor had never set foot in the harem. The Chen family really didn't know how they wanted to let the gentle and gentle Chen Si go. The lady didn't give it away, but got a straw bag instead.

She exchanged glances with Concubine Liu Shu privately and said, "Sister, please tell me that this banquet is lively and warm at the same time. It's been a long time since the sisters came to the palace and haven't seen their families."

It is impossible to have a banquet with the concubine's family on the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion night, but if that person had any brains, he would not be in this situation today. The two concubines secretly nodded.

Ningxi didn't expect that the few words spoken by everyone actually moved the queen. She drank two sips of tea to suppress the words that came to her heart. She didn't know what Concubine Liu Shu was up to.
