Not long after Ning Xi entered the house, dinner began to be laid out in the small kitchen.
Ningxi, who was sitting at the table, felt that the food in front of her was tasteless. She should have saved her second aunt for dinner.
But Ningxi didn't know that she was lucky that she didn't keep Mrs. Ning Er, otherwise our Mr. Ning would have been waiting for trouble at the gate of the palace.
Mrs. Ning Er and Fu Ling said goodbye at the palace gate and came out of the palace. They saw a familiar figure from a distance.
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be the most familiar person.
"Ms. sir, why are you here?"
Ning Cheng, the second master of Ning, actually came to take his wife out of the palace in person. Not only the wife was surprised, but the maids accompanying him were also surprised.
"Seeing that you have been in the palace for so long and haven't come home yet, my husband came here in person." Ning Er Ye Ning Cheng stepped forward to help his wife.
"I said, sir, where did you get the wind from today to be so attentive to me?"
Could it be that the two of them had a quarrel yesterday, and since we haven't seen each other for a whole day, the old guy has thought it through and realized that he is sorry for me, my wife!
Mr. Ning helped his wife get into the carriage and followed suit.
"Mr. Dean Ning, this time I won't be troubled by women and villains."
Mr. Ning is really afraid that his wife will live with his niece in the palace if she gets mad, so why would he return to the capital? He is alone, and it is better to be comfortable outside with his wife before.
"It's all because my husband is short-sighted and not as good as my wife."
A real man must be able to bend and stretch at critical moments. "I hope Madam will be magnanimous and don't argue with a pedantic scholar like me!"
Mrs. Ning Er pushed the two of them away and snorted: "A man's mouth is always good at lying!"
Mr. Ning, who was pushed away by his wife in the carriage, swallowed unconsciously and thought to himself: Oops, I'm afraid I'll have to sleep in the study tonight.
He was kicked out in the middle of the night last night and was already laughed at by the servants. If he couldn't coax the madam tonight, how could he keep it on his face?
Mr. Ning didn't want to sleep in the study alone.
"Madam~"
I would like to ask, is it shameful for an old man in his forties to be cute and coquettish in front of his wife?
Mrs. Ning Er endured the goosebumps all over her body, but she couldn't bear to throw the person out of the carriage when she saw that familiar pretty face.
The couple entered the house together. The old lady got the letter and waved her hand to the person below her. At such an old age, the old one has to worry about the young one.
Mr. Ning put down the book in his hand, "What? I feel relieved this time."
Mrs. Ning rolled her eyes and said, "You old man, maybe you also want to sleep in the study."
The servants guarding the room couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Mr. Ning felt that he couldn't lose face, so he stood up and grunted twice, then walked out of the house with his hands behind his back.
After Mr. Ning left, the old lady took out a small piece of clothing that had not yet been finished embroidering. The old man was no longer hanging around in front of her, and she finally had time to make small clothes for her precious granddaughter.
When a son follows me, it is rare that this fine traditional virtue of being afraid of his wife also follows him.
The daughter-in-law of the Ning family is still what many noble girls in the capital aspire to. Unfortunately, family background is not what they care about!
——Qingxin Palace——
The emperor was waiting for the imperial concubine, waiting here and there. Until the dinner was delivered, he didn't see that little heartless person sending a message.
Xiao Chengyan looked at the table full of meals that suited her taste and smiled instead of getting angry.
Knowing that he was a heartless person, he still believed him. Xiao Chengyan put aside the jade chopsticks in his hand.
Seeing this, Wan Dequan immediately bent forward and asked: "Your Majesty, but what you are eating today is not to your liking?"
"Not much appetite." Xiao Chengyan waved his hand, and the palace maid standing beside him immediately understood and started to remove the meal.
"Why don't the emperor go for a walk in the imperial garden?" Wan Dequan suggested, seeing that the emperor had been working on state affairs recently.
Xiao Chengyan sat in front of the desk, his eyes fell on the folds on the table, he reached out and pinched the sore forehead, and clasped the annotated memorial with one hand, "Let's go and relax!"
Xiao Chengyan stood up and walked out of the hall, and Wan Dequan hurriedly trotted to follow.
After leaving Qingxin Hall, Wan Dequan couldn't help but curse himself secretly. Even in the evening, he actually proposed to go out to the Royal Garden.
However, Xiao Chengyan felt that the scenery of the Imperial Garden in the evening was quite different. It was already autumn, and the evening wind brought some coolness. Wan Dequan took the cloak presented by the subordinates and put it on the emperor.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night. Do you want to go back to your bedroom and get some rest early?"
Xiao Chengyan raised his head and glanced at the night sky, then looked back at the person still standing behind him, "It's been so many years since I've been able to enjoy the quiet night alone."
Wan Dequan relied on his clever thinking and was sent by the late emperor to serve the young fifth prince. From prince to prince to emperor, he watched as the prince who was still as gentle as jade in his childhood was slowly forced to grow into a cold-hearted man. The young man finally became a qualified emperor decisively.
The so-called high place is too cold, and growth always comes at a price. Every person in a high position is lonely. This is the price that should be paid behind power.
"Let's go to Yongfu Palace!"
Xiao Chengyan ignored Wan Dequan's surprised look. Since the imperial concubine didn't come to ask for him, he would go to her bedroom to ask for it in person.
Therefore, as the king of a country, he would sacrifice his face to have sex with his woman. Now Wan Dequan is really unsure of the emperor's thoughts, especially after the emperor and the imperial concubine have become closer to each other. This feeling is even more intense!
The imperial edict of marriage to the Ning family not only promotes the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, but also gives honor to the imperial concubine's maternal family. If she has done good deeds, she should get the benefits she deserves. Xiao Chengyan followed this idea to Yongfu Palace.
Ningxi, the client who was being asked for benefits, was confused again and again, and then said: "Your Majesty, it seems that the imperial edict was not requested by my concubine!"
Why do you want to collect benefits from me when you are willing to issue an imperial edict? Ningxi paused and hummed softly, "Besides, it has been quite inconvenient for me recently!"
Xiao Chengyan looked at the rosy-faced imperial concubine and knew that she had forgotten her promise to accompany him to dinner, and she was afraid that she might have thought about something she shouldn't have thought, but he didn't want to correct her.
After being looked up and down several times, Ningxi finally heard the emperor open his mouth.
"This kind of thing can be owed and repaid. It won't be too late for my beloved concubine to wait until our eldest princess is born. I can wait for a few months."
Faced with such a brazen man, Ningxi had no choice but to give in, thinking that he would have to wait until the baby was born and would still have confinement. Since he had to wait for the return, he would just wait.
"Your Majesty, can you have dinner if you come here at this hour?"
Ningxi just sat eating alone and had no appetite. She just ate a few bites. The small kitchen was always prepared. She was worried that the master would be in no mood and had no appetite. This is great. The emperor is here, and the little master does not have to suffer in her mother's belly. hungry.
"At this time in the past, you had already eaten and were ready to rest. Why today?" Xiao Chengyan naturally did not think that his concubine was waiting for him to come and have a meal together, and was worried that the child in her belly was misbehaving and causing trouble to her.
"No, I just didn't have a good appetite just now. Now that the emperor is here, I suddenly feel like I have a huge appetite!" Ningxi touched her big belly and looked pitiful.
