Ning Honghui really didn't understand why a girl would have such a preference. A trip to the northwest at that time really opened his eyes.
And when he saw his cousin's true face at Ning's house, he wondered whether it was just a way of confusing the enemy.
Ningxi's past remarks were indeed a bit excessive. Ningxi specifically ordered people to release them before returning to the capital. Even her brothers were specifically warned. No matter who it was, anyone who inquired about her Ningxi's behavior It must be said to be as unbearable as possible, the more unbearable the better.
At first, Ningxi was on guard against the Chen family. She was afraid that people in their big houses in Beijing would let her marry casually. She thought simply, without a good reputation, who would dare to marry a child from aristocratic families? And those evil mothers-in-law from famous families heard her Those who are so unbearable must be avoided.
"What does the Emperor think of my cousin?"
"My intelligence, decisiveness, and demeanor are all the same as those of General Chen. I admire him very much." Xiao Chengyan said this from the bottom of his heart. He admired her vigorous and resolute methods in dealing with the affairs of the harem.
"The Emperor once stated the criteria for choosing a wife when he was drunk by you when he was young. Later, the late Emperor granted marriage to the second lady of the Lin family."
Marrying a wife should be a virtuous one. Everyone wants to have a good wife who is well-educated and sensible, who will look after her at home and treat each other with respect.
The Concubine Xian did an excellent job at that time, but later she fell in love with her husband and became jealous like any woman. Her jealousy led her to start doing extremely unscrupulous things.
"What do you think of Boyan?" Boyan is Ning Honghui's name. His grandfather gave it to the three of them. When they were studying, the three of them used to have the same name.
However, since Xiao Chengyan decided to take over the important task, he never dared to call the emperor again, and it seemed that he had not heard the title Boyan for a long time.
When Xiao Chengyan asked him to investigate his cousin, he responded that he was an ordinary lady with a bit of laziness.
Ningxi's plan before leaving was to guard against the Chen family, and she didn't expect that she would accidentally confuse everyone who inquired about her in the future, including her charming cousin.
But what she didn't expect was that her cousin, who was always worried about the emperor, would lie to the emperor for the first time on her behalf. This was the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Ning Honghui had been frightened since she entered the palace. Not long after, the emperor actually took her to the Ning Mansion, where he met his cousin for the first time.
He looked at you with a smile on his face with round eyes, looking harmless. He suspected in his heart that such a clean girl would like to hang out in places like casinos and brothels.
Later, after dinner, my grandfather was complacent and lamented that my cousin was born a girl, but it was a pity that she was only smart. At that time, he suddenly realized that his grandfather had left his job and traveled to the northwest.
Not long after, the emperor asked him again and he realized that they had all been deceived by his cousin.
Sure enough, women's appearances are all used to deceive others, especially beautiful ones.
Thinking about it this way, his cousin and his wife must be of the same species. However, his wife is a gift from those people. His cousin, who has lived a carefree life since childhood, is naturally prepared for a rainy day!
The air was very quiet for a while.
Xie Cheng sat quietly aside. His participation in the fight between the two would never end well, so staying silent was the most correct choice.
Ning Honghui said: "I dare not speak nonsense."
Don't you dare to speak nonsense?
Xiao Chengyan sneered after a while, "You are becoming more and more cautious and self-aware now."
Hearing the emperor's words, Ning Honghui raised his head in surprise and then lowered his head hurriedly. Yes, he seemed to be wary of the distinction between monarch and minister. However, isn't this the attitude that a minister should have? "It is true that the three of us grew up together, but the emperor should be——"
There is nothing that should or should not be done, and no one is born to do anything. Every step he takes is the fruit he sows.
"I am the emperor who needs to be suspicious of brothers to be able to hold the throne? Then what's the point of holding the throne!" He is unwilling to do it alone.
Xiao Chengyan sighed, "Do you know why I don't want to sit in this position?" It was not easy for him to get to this point. What he gained was far less than what he gave up.
In fact, it's not only difficult for him alone, the dispute over the throne involves far more than the princes. Once the emperor and his courtiers, the ministers also formed a team for them.
It was impossible for Xiao Chengyan to just watch those who served him sacrifice for him if a single move affected his whole body.
Humans are very strange creatures. They can naturally jump from one topic to another without feeling wrong.
Xie Cheng serves as a mediator between the three of them. He is naturally sensitive to his brothers, and he is also willing to treat them with sincerity.
"I told you to stop talking and forget about us. The current situation is very unfavorable for the imperial concubine, and some people have even harmed the children in her belly."
The child, the imperial concubine's belly is not only looking at the jealous women in the harem, but the ministers in the court have also guessed that the emperor has some intention, and they are all eyeing the imperial concubine's child. If there is a chance, the wife of the family must be with the current imperial concubine. We have made good friends, and now I hope that the future may bring blessings to future generations.
"Your Majesty, I don't know whether to say something or not."
Xiao Chengyan glanced at him. He knew that Ning Honghui was hopeless, "Let's talk."
It's just that it's better not to talk about it this time.
"Your Majesty, we obviously have no clue when discussing countermeasures here. Why don't we invite the imperial concubine to come!" Ning Honghui closed his mouth after saying that, well, actually that's not what he meant to say. What he wanted to say was We're just messing around here trying to fix something. Maybe his cousin will find a solution by herself by now!
Ningxi really took action. He had already given her enough face in front of Xiao Ye last time, but he didn't know that she was so shameless and wanted to be her enemy.
She had learned earlier that Concubine Xian had stayed in Yong'an Palace for half an hour longer.
Half an hour may seem short, but if you sincerely look for an ally, a look in your eyes would be enough.
She immediately asked Forsythia to go to each palace to find some eloquent little sisters to find out what kind of deal the Concubine Xian made with the Empress when she stayed in Yong'an Palace that day.
But before Forsythia could bring back the news, Mrs. Chen, who had lived in Yong'an Palace for a long time, was about to leave the palace and return home.
Ningxi sent someone to follow Mrs. Chen all the way to the palace gate. They watched her leave and kept waiting. She really looked up to them, thinking they had some clever tricks to deal with her, but they waited. Go and wait for your aunt into the palace first, oh, who wouldn't spread rumors?
Ningxi's secret hands were all over the Zhuangzi that her mother-in-law gave her. She only needed to write the letter and leave it to Zhuangzi to take care of it. The helpers in Zhuangzi were all residents of nearby villages, and she owned several Zhuangzi in the capital. woman.
