After coming out of Yong'an Palace and arriving at Weiyang Palace, Cheng Ning seemed a little restless.
Chunhua noticed it and thought she was uncomfortable.
"Mother, has it been windy outside for a long time? Do you want Medical Officer Meng to come and take a look?"
Cheng Ning came to his senses and shook his head.
But speaking of it, the frequency of Meng Xin's visits to Hua Palace has indeed decreased these days.
I haven't seen her for a long time since she had a problem with her throat.
The usual Ping Anmai was also replaced by another imperial physician.
She suspected that Wei Yanzhou was wary of her sister-in-law's pregnancy last time and prevented her from having too much contact with Meng Xin.
The same reason as Fu Youting.
There are fewer and fewer familiar people around her and more and more new ones. Perhaps this is what Wei Yanzhou wants her to get used to.
The Weiyang Palace was already crowded, but the outside of the palace was also lively.
Xie Nianyao is making fun of her queen again.
The person being targeted this time was not Cheng Ning, but Ouyang Xi.
The two of them were blocked at the gate. The one on the outside couldn't get in, and the one on the inside couldn't get out. They were both forced to watch the show.
"Concubine Shu is really different. She has been favored for just one night and even wears fox fur. Will she also put a golden crown on her head in two days?"
Xie Nianyao couldn't hold it in any longer. When she met Ouyang Xi, her eyes were not eyes.
Poor Concubine Shu only wears a fox cloak, which is found in almost every palace.
But this one on her body is special, it is the skin of a red fox.
After being scolded by Xie Nianyao, it was said that she was suppressing the queen's limelight and asked the palace maid to take it off for her.
With this removal, she was left with only the thin palace skirt.
He shivered because of the cold: "Is your Majesty satisfied?"
How could Xie Nianyao be satisfied: "What? Using this cruel trick to make everyone think it is me who is embarrassing you?"
It's neither this nor that. Ouyang Xi's temper also got angry: "No wonder His Majesty has left the Empress's Palace again and again. It's hard to deal with such aggressive behavior. Does he have the Queen's Feng Yi?"
These words really put water into the oil pan and are about to explode.
Cheng Ning raised a corner of his mouth slightly, feeling somewhat familiar for some reason.
To put it bluntly, Ouyang Xi's temperament is somewhat like her before.
A temper that would rather break than bend.
She was about to step forward to help out, and there was no need to make it look ugly in front of the courtiers.
But everything around him became quiet, and a familiar cold fragrance hit his nostrils.
Cheng Ning turned her face and found that Wei Yanzhou had appeared at some point and was standing beside her.
He also gestured to his lips to indicate that everyone should be silent.
Then his eyes flickered to Cheng Ning's hair, and his deep pupils were illuminated by the hibiscus flowers for a moment.
He turned his face to Cheng Ning's ear and whispered as if there was no one around: "Do you feel that her temper is inexplicably familiar?"
The lips faintly brushed against the hibiscus petals, as if they were far apart.
Yesterday they broke up in a bad mood, but today they appear as if nothing happened.
I don't know whether I should say that His Majesty the Emperor is generous and careless, or I should say that the beauty was in my arms last night, which has already calmed my mood.
Bad taste.
Xie Nianyao was obviously jealous and wanted to join in the fun.
Cheng Ning took two steps away uncomfortably and said nothing.
Now that Wei Yanzhou is here, it's not her turn to be the one who takes the lead.
Xie Nianyao's face was turned upside down with anger: "What did you say?! Say it again!"
Who is out there gossiping that Wei Yanzhou left her palace again and again?
"Is Cheng Ning talking nonsense outside? I am no match for her vixen, but do you think you can ride on my head after climbing on the dragon bed once?"
After she said that, she moved to pull Ouyang Xi's hair emotionally.
I’m so angry and embarrassed!
Hasn’t she become a joke in the harem?
"No need for Concubine Xi to say, isn't it enough to explain the Queen's temperament? It's okay for a woman to be jealous, but to make things difficult for no reason is to be narrow-minded!"
Ouyang Xi didn't have the temperament to stand obediently and let others beat him, so he immediately grabbed Xie Nianyao's hand and pushed it out.
After all, she is the daughter of the Minister of Punishment, and her character is somewhat fierce and courageous. She cannot help but make things difficult for no reason.
Xie Nianyao's brother had been among them for a long time. How could he bear it when he saw his sister, the queen, being ridiculed like this in public.
He rolled up his sleeves and shouted: "Come here! Concubine Shu, I have committed an offence, rebuked the queen, and showed no respect for the law. Please take me under my custody and confront him in front of His Majesty!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie's people rushed forward one after another.
He reached out to catch Ouyang Xi.
The moment a few hands were about to touch Ouyang Xi, a cold look flashed across her brows. It could be more or less, but she couldn't even hide.
"I'm here, tell me if you have anything to say."
Cheng Ning was standing next to Wei Yanzhou, and when he heard him speaking casually, the bustle there stopped.
Wei Yanzhou's voice sounded, and the chaos on that side suddenly seemed like someone had tapped an acupoint.
Ouyang Xi was the first to react. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wei Yanzhou and said, "Greetings to Your Majesty."
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Xie Nianyao rolled her eyes twice, and when she saw Cheng Ning standing next to Wei Yanzhou, she almost couldn't help feeling jealous.
I don’t know how long these two people stood here.
But she couldn't settle the score with Cheng Ning now, so she blinked twice and squeezed out a few tears.
"Your Majesty!" She rushed over and said, "Concubine Shu, she actually cursed my concubine with vicious words!"
Cheng Ning has seen many scenes where the bad guy complains first.
She stepped aside to prevent Xie Nianyao's tears from splashing on herself.
After Ouyang Xi reacted, he could not tolerate others pouring dirty water on him.
She knelt down in front of Wei Yanzhou. She did not pretend to be pitiful, nor was she exaggerating. She only said: "The Queen is in such a difficult situation. I can only say a few words in anger. Your Majesty, I am really ashamed."
This one is crying, the other is quiet.
The difference is immediately apparent.
Xie Nianyao was still dissatisfied: "Are you arguing? You really want the whole palace to laugh at me!"
Wei Yanzhou's wrist was shaken back and forth by her: "Your Majesty, even my brother will be angry after hearing this. You have to make the decision for me!"
Cheng Ning lowered his eyelashes and thought to himself, idiot.
It was just a matter of arguing with Ouyang Xi. She wanted to drag her brother into trouble. Did she think the Xie family's life was too long?
Sure enough, Wei Yanzhou said: "Oh? Xie Aiqing also thinks that women's verbal disputes are serious?"
Xie Nianjin wished he could go back to just now and strangle himself to death for rashly taking action.
I also wanted to strangle to death the sister who was trying so hard to start the fire.
Isn't the Xie family's recent situation dangerous enough? Why do you have to fight for it?
What's more, Wei Yanzhou's asking this already made it clear that he thought this was a little fight between women.
He didn't even bother to care about it himself.
Xie Nianjin knelt down tremblingly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, forgive me. I was just in a hurry and shouldn't have intervened."
"Brother!" Xie Nianyao couldn't believe it: "You actually -"
Even her brother didn't speak up for her!
"I see it too. The queen always loves to cry, which makes me have a headache." Wei Yanzhou took out his hand and extended his hand towards Ouyang Xi: "Concubine Shu is wearing thin clothes. I will lead you into the palace."
It turned out that both sides were not disappointed, but it was enough to thank Nianjin for being drenched in cold sweat.
Doesn't this mean that he is tired of Xie Nianyao crying?
Ouyang Xi also didn't expect that Wei Yanzhou would care about her and not comfort the queen.
She raised her hand obediently, and Wei Yanzhou took her wrist and led her into the inner hall.
