The last time most people here saw Cheng Ning was when Cheng Ning returned to court last year.
At that time, she was still handsome and could chat with anyone.
When they met again, the Cheng family collapsed and she was already a concubine.
Many people have lamented, saying that if Cheng Ning had not been the daughter of the Cheng family, she would still be in control of the northwest.
How could it be reduced to a talking point both inside and outside the government?
Her conditions were the first choice for the Crown Princess back then.
Now she is a palace concubine, and she is still the last concubine.
The mighty General Feiling back then was now considered completely dead.
No matter what, Xie Zhiyun received this warning today because of Cheng Ning. When he saw Cheng Ning, he was extremely dissatisfied.
He walked forward and bowed casually: "Why is Concubine Xi so free? She is standing here in the cold weather."
Then she looked at Chunhua behind her, holding a cup of soup in her hand.
He was very disdainful.
In the past, Cheng Ning was a noble person and looked down upon people like him who came from a noble family. There were many conversations in the court.
It's fine now. In order to please Wei Yanzhou, the soup has been stewed.
Cheng Ning's attention was not on Xie Zhiyun, she looked back at Li Lianbei.
——Six or seven days have passed since he left the palace, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Li Lianbei is safe and sound.
She didn't come here for Wei Yanzhou.
There has been no news about the Li family in the past few days, nor any news about fireworks smuggling.
She wandered around Linhua Palace for several days, and finally couldn't sit still and came to find out.
But the courtiers all looked normal, and Li Lianbei looked like he was fine.
This shows that Wei Yanzhou did not deal with the smuggling of fireworks.
A more terrifying possibility filled Cheng Ning's mind.
She couldn't take Xie Zhiyun into consideration and hurriedly went to find Wei Yanzhou.
And she couldn't speak now, so she nodded to Xie Zhiyun and bypassed him.
In full view of everyone, Concubine Xi was arrogant.
Xie Zhiyun was furious and would not let him go.
"Concubine Xi, now you are not only disabled, but also suffering from mute disease. How can you still have the nerve to stay in the harem? Your Majesty is not feeling down, but just misses the old relationship. How can you have the nerve to occupy the concubine's position?"
Cheng Ning paused.
She turned around, her voice as thick as snow, but she didn't want to argue, but she still wanted to hear what he had to say.
She knew very little about the previous dynasty, let alone the storm caused by her these days.
Xie Zhiyun's yin and yang anger can't hurt anyone, but it is a bit like a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry.
Chunhua protects the Lord very much: "Master Xie, what do you mean? Now you have to intervene in the matter of sealing and abolishing the harem?"
"What's wrong with you, a cheap servant?"
Xie Zhiyun scolded loudly and planned to spill the soup cup in Chunhua's hand.
But the outstretched hand was slapped away by Cheng Ning.
'Snapped'!
There was a loud noise, and you can imagine how powerful it was.
The jaws of the courtiers who were watching dropped.
I originally thought that Cheng Ning would be more temperamental after entering the harem, but unexpectedly she was still so flamboyant!
Xie Zhiyun's face was distorted with anger: "How dare you hit me! I am now the head of the country!"
Chunhua glanced at Cheng Ning and said, "My wife is unable to speak. I'll forgive you, sir, but thank you, sir. I'm going to see your majesty urgently. Can I leave now?"
The implication is that you are the head of the country and leave a concubine to speak. Is it legal?
At this moment, Wang Xi came down from the long steps.
Xie Zhiyun couldn't help but look at Cheng Ning's face as motionless as the wind, snorted loudly, and walked away.
The courtiers on both sides did not dare to delay any longer, saluted Cheng Ning one after another, and left in a hurry.
It seemed that nothing good would happen if he messed with Cheng Ning.
Wang Xi saw Cheng Ning at the entrance of Qinghe Hall and hurriedly came down to greet him.
"Why are you here?"
It was rare for Cheng Ning to come to the previous court, but today he was carrying soup again.
I guess the empress has never learned to use detours. This shows that something is wrong with her.
After leading the people up and outside the palace gate, Wang Xi asked Cheng Ning to wait while he went in to report.
Cheng Ning still looked calm.
But Chunhua was dissatisfied: "It's hard for your Majesty to come here once, why do you need permission to enter?"
Cheng Ning held her hand, signaling her not to say anything.
After a while, Wang Xi came out with an apologetic look on his face: "Your Majesty, what a coincidence. Your Majesty still has court affairs to attend to and cannot see your Majesty. Can I send this slave Tang in for you?"
He was rejected.
Cheng Ning was not surprised. Wei Yanzhou must have guessed the purpose of her visit and did not want to see her.
Outside the palace six days ago, he avoided mentioning the smuggling case.
Thinking about it now, I still don't want her to interfere.
But no, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, when the demand for fireworks and firecrackers is greatest in the city.
If you leave it alone, it will be fine if nothing happens, but if something happens, it will still be the people who suffer.
She couldn't remain indifferent.
Wei Yanzhou disappeared, so she decided to wait.
Wait until he sees you.
So Cheng Ning stepped aside and found a place to stand where it would not hinder access.
Wang Xi sighed when he saw this.
He wanted to persuade him, but the two masters were more stubborn than the other, so they couldn't be persuaded.
He had no choice but to act emotionally.
Following Cheng Ning and standing next to him, Wang Xi said, "Thank you for embarrassing your Majesty just now?"
Cheng Ning looked at him confused.
"It's not to blame that Mr. Xie has a bad temper. He is holding his anger. His Majesty has been targeting him these past few days."
Wei Yanzhou targets Xie Zhiyun?
Isn't this the father of his favorite queen, his father-in-law?
Wang Xi saw that she really didn't know anything, so he told her everything.
After listening, Cheng Ning had complicated thoughts.
What is Wei Yanzhou's temperament? I am the only one who speaks the truth.
Using tricks under his nose would be too long for your life.
What's more, he also instigated the courtiers, which was Wei Yanzhou's reverse scale, and he was not unjustly targeted.
Furthermore, I felt that Wei Yanzhou was indeed too cold-hearted.
Cheng Ning could see how he indulged the queen, but when it came to personal affairs, he could turn his back on her.
Xie Zhiyun had no way to go down, so no wonder he was so aggressive towards her and took his anger out on her.
But on the other hand, what does Wang Xi mean by saying this? Does he want her to think that Wei Yanzhou is targeting Xie Zhiyun because of her?
...That would be ridiculous.
If Wei Yanzhou really loves Cheng Ning and is soft-hearted, how come she can't even enter the Qinghe Palace now?
There was a hint of ridicule in Cheng Ning's eyes, and she was used as a shield by Wei Yanzhou again.
No wonder the courtier looked at her with strange eyes just now.
Cheng Ning sighed, did he really think that Wei Yanzhou was targeting Xie Zhiyun because of her?
He just doesn't allow anyone to make small moves in front of his eyes.
As for whom to favor...if he really favored Cheng Ning, the Cheng family would have been fine.
But aren't the Cheng family still sinking in prison now?
Don't say what she said was useless, even if she exchanged conditions and exchanged her body, Wei Yanzhou couldn't let go.
Exclusively favored?
To Cheng Ning, this word was just ironic.
But what direction the courtiers take now has nothing to do with her.
Chunhua saw the difference between Cheng Ning's eyebrows and could probably figure out what she was thinking, so she could only say to Wang Xi: "Eunuch, I'd better tell your Majesty again and tell her that your Majesty has something important to do."
"Empress——"
Wang Xi looked embarrassed. Just when he entered, Wei Yanzhou heard that Cheng Ning was outside. His expression turned cold and he only said one sentence.
"After waiting for six days, I finally couldn't bear it anymore."
Then he said goodbye and asked Wang Xi to invite him back.
But Cheng Ning refused to leave, and Wang Xi obviously couldn't forcefully drive people away.
Then the scene of more than 20 days reappeared, and Cheng Ning was blown by the cold wind for half a day.
When lunch was approaching, it was Fu Youting who came out of Qinghe Hall.
