"Greetings to the Emperor!"
"I send my regards to the noble concubine!"
As soon as Ning Honghui waited for his cousin to come in, he bowed his head in greetings, and after the ceremony was waived, he kept silently watching her every move, not missing a single thought.
Fortunately, the cousin showed all her reluctance on her face, and the look in her eyes that disliked the emperor was enough to show that they had been having a headache these past few days. The cousin didn't need their help to solve it at all. She could do it herself. solve.
He really should have let his furious biological father take a look. Even though he knew that she was already a heinous demon concubine, he looked calm as if he was not talking about her at all.
Xie Cheng was peeking at Ningxi from the side. Xie Cheng was trembling purely because of the imperial concubine's boldness. Apart from the late emperor, no one else had dared to treat the emperor like this since he was a child.
Look, when the imperial concubine entered the palace, apart from paying respects to the emperor in a decent manner, she didn't even notice anything else.
The greeting was like a polite greeting. The greeting was slightly bowed, and before the emperor could even ask for a seat, he sat directly in the emperor's place and even secretly rolled his eyes at the emperor.
The emperor stood on her side with a calm expression. It seemed that this scene was not the first time. Xie Cheng was immediately confused by Ningxi's actions. To put it bluntly, it was simply disrespectful.
Are the rumors true? To say that the imperial concubine's appearance is absolutely superb, it is enough to charm the monarch. Looking at the entire capital, if the noble lady dares to say that her appearance is not good, then she really can't pick out a few who are better than her.
Not all the enchanting concubines in the history books looked like this, and considering the emperor's attitude towards her, she was deeply loved by the emperor. The emperor could tolerate a concubine sitting next to him while he stood beside him like a guard. Wherever there are rules, there are no rules like this!
Xie Cheng's mind turned quickly and he pinned all the rumors on Ning Xi. He felt that what the citizens said was accurate.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, I think this is another trick caused by the jealous women in the harem. Xie Cheng, who figured it out by himself, was deeply bored. Women just have nothing to do, and they spend all day looking for trouble.
"If your Majesty has no important matters to attend to, please leave first."
Ning Honghui wanted to leave, and it was not good for his ministers to see the emperor standing next to the imperial concubine. It would harm the royal family's face. I thought to myself, my cousin used to be very discerning, but now, maybe my cousin is chasing us away!
I have to tell the truth about Ning Honghui. After studying a person for a long time, she can still understand 100% or 90% of it in her heart. Xiao Chengyan waved his hand and sent the two people away.
After leaving Qingxin Hall, Ning Honghui walked slowly, wishing he could take one step and take three steps back.
Xie Cheng didn't have the patience to accompany him, so he told him that his wife was still waiting for him to have lunch at home.
"Cousin Ning, wait a minute. Since you're here and you don't want to come up with a perfect solution, my uncle will be able to spare you when you get home!"
What Ning Xi said is certain, then the Prime Minister will definitely not be able to spare his son.
Moreover, he walked so slowly that anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lord Ning did it on purpose.
Naturally, Ning Xi could tell that her cousin had come here specifically to wait for her. Otherwise, she would not have been able to talk to the emperor for long, but it would have been short enough that he would still be able to see him from the Qingxin Palace.
"My cousin is really heart-warming. I really don't want to be chased and beaten by my father at this age. Please give me some help."
It was rare for the Minister of Rites, who was always knowledgeable and eloquent, to seek help from a woman, claiming he had been wronged.
"Then cousin is willing to let my cousin do the work?"
Ning Honghui always pays attention to face at home.
The errand was small, but the beating was big. He was already the father of his children. How could he be chased by his own father all over the yard with a feather duster? Not to mention his son's son was laughing at him, and the younger brothers below might be hiding behind him. How unbecoming it is to laugh your teeth behind your back!
Just now, when my aunt said that she was being confused, my uncle got angry and hit my cousin with a feather duster. He even forgot to lecture me behind his back and started getting angry at the dinner table.
Speaking of feather dusters, I think everyone in the Ning family doesn't like this feather duster very much, even she doesn't like it very much. It was all taught by Mr. Ning. No one has ever suffered from it. The sharp tool of feather duster must be used properly.
In order not to be beaten by feather dusters and to save some face in front of her son, her cousin could only stand on the same front as her, and he had to do this for himself so that she could win.
Ningxi took out the envelope stuffed in her sleeve, handed it to Ning Honghui, and said, "My cousin has been approved by our emperor for leave recently. It happens that the place where my sister sent you to do things is a little remote, and there was a little delay on the way. It’s best for my cousin to go back quickly and prepare to leave immediately.”
Ningxi wrote down the method of creating auspiciousness from heaven in a letter to Ning Honghui, spreading the rumor that her father's men could do it, and her cousin was the only one who could do this meticulous work.
No one likes that kind of twisted love. It is a blessing to love someone. If you don't get the blessing, then you won't bother. That is a kind of relief for yourself.
Xiao Chengyan was a little domineering tonight. She didn't know where she got the stimulation. Ningxi felt that her lips were about to be eaten by Xiao Chengyan.
But due to the protruding belly between them, Xiao Chengyan could only go to the window to blow in the cold wind.
When Xiao Chengyan returned calmly after blowing the wind, Ningxi stabbed him angrily: "I told you to provoke me and ask for trouble!"
This was clearly asking for trouble. Xiao Chengyan lowered his head and smiled bitterly. He could only suffer the consequences of being trapped in a cocoon. He reckoned that he had never been choked by this girl.
Ningxi was lying on the couch outside, and Xiao Chengyan looked at her. She was eating and drinking, and it seemed that she had found a satisfactory solution. After all, it is not a private matter for the Prime Minister's wife to go to the palace to see the imperial concubine. Thinking about how she looked at Qingxin Palace in the morning, it seems that this girl does not intend to reveal her little thoughts to him.
Xiao Chengyan felt inexplicably disgusted in his heart. After all, Ning Honghui didn't know her plan at all, but as her pillow partner, she could only wait silently.
I really don’t know what her little brain is pretending to all day long. Why is she so bold that she doesn’t even care about her own reputation? Does she really not want to enter the palace? Even after all these years, your thoughts still haven’t changed?
Thinking that if Ning Honghui had not gone to the northwest, anyone else would have reported the truth truthfully, then she and him might not be where they are today.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chengyan secretly rejoiced for no reason. Of course, it was also a blessing that the current empress could not help but beg her to enter the palace.
The word "fate" is truly wonderful.
It's not that Ning Xi didn't reveal this involvement to him, it's just that she wasn't sure that she was raising these people privately. If the emperor found out about it and became suspicious, she was afraid of causing inconvenience to her father.
