Cheng Ning immediately covered the fan with both hands: "What are you doing?"
"It's my fault that I came late, but I can't delay His Majesty's draft, so you don't have to accept my fan, right?"
Although the weather hasn't gotten completely hot, she always feels tight and breathless now.
And I am more afraid of heat than ordinary people.
The row of beautiful girls below was even more thrilling at this time.
It turns out that the person Your Majesty is waiting for is Concubine Xi?
Didn't it mean that the Cheng family was in trouble and Concubine Xi was now walking on thin ice in the palace?
Wang Xi was in a dilemma: "Your Majesty——"
It was just a fan, and it looked like a bully if he took it away.
"Grab it," Wei Yanzhou said in a deep voice, "On what day do you dare to fan like this? You were still too cold when you fell asleep last night. Are you trying to catch the cold?"
Cheng Ning: "......"
Not to mention how ugly Xie Qingyi's face was: "Yes, sister, in order to prevent catching a cold, please don't do such a thing to steal the limelight. The protagonists today are these sisters, aren't they?"
In the past, Cheng Ning probably wouldn't have paid attention to Xie Qingyi's overt and sarcastic attempts to sow discord.
But she had been unhappy these past few days, so she just wanted to fight.
"I don't want to steal the limelight with a fan." Cheng Ning said coldly, "Sister Hui Fei, does she have sand in her eyes? She doesn't like anything she sees."
After Cheng Ning finished speaking, he felt even hotter and fanned himself twice more.
Xie Qingyi said bitterly: "You! Your Majesty~~!"
Before Wei Yanzhou could speak, Cheng Ning interrupted again: "Your Majesty and Concubine Hui didn't sincerely invite me to watch the ceremony. If it's not an eyesore, I can go somewhere else to fan myself, okay?"
As he said this, he stood up and left.
She couldn't wait to get out of here quickly.
"Stop." Wei Yanzhou looked at her warningly: "Sit there."
"Then do you still care about fanning me?"
Regardless, Wei Yanzhou smiled coldly: "My beloved concubine will regret being so persistent now."
The officials of the Ministry of Rites were already in a cold sweat.
Didn't they come here today for the draft? Why did they suddenly witness such an incident.
It was said that Concubine Xi could not get favors from the harem on weekdays, and both His Majesty and the Queen were very targeted.
Now it seems that the targeting seems to be true, but she doesn't care at all!
With this attitude of defying the sky, the earth, and the air, His Majesty would give her three points.
Xie Qingyi was even more unbelievable. She rarely saw Wei Yanzhou and Cheng Ning alone.
It was the first time when he entered the palace, and he knew that Cheng Ning was not very considerate of others.
But at that time it was only in Linhua Palace.
She actually walked out of Linhua Palace and dared to be so arrogant in front of so many people!
Isn't it true that Your Majesty won't punish her? ?
Or do you think there is something special about her, and His Majesty will definitely not care about her?
Cheng Ning had already sat down. She was obviously not interested in the draft. She sat down and started talking to Gongsun Li.
He looked like he didn't care about anything and even his Majesty looked down upon him.
But Wei Yanzhou's eyes were still on her, and he always had a faint smile when he saw her talking to Gongsun Li.
He whispered softly: "You have a bad temper."
Although it sounded like a scolding, his brows were full of indulgence.
Xie Qingyi tore up a handkerchief, glanced at Yinyin, and then glanced at Cheng Ning's table.
How can Yinyin not understand that the empress has been looking for opportunities to test Concubine Xi these days.
Now that I'm here today, it's just an opportunity.
She retreated and asked the eunuch who was responsible for preparing food in Chuxiu Palace today to bring over a plate of appetizers for each table.
While Cheng Ning was talking, he noticed a gaze constantly falling on her.
She raised her eyes and met a pair of curious eyes.
The woman was quite tall and stood at the outermost side of the row, just close to Cheng Ning's table.
His brows are lively, with a clarity that doesn't understand the world.
Cheng Ning is somewhat familiar with Gao Xinyi.
She is not very different from the picture scroll. She is not like an ordinary little girl. She should be quite courageous.
Even though he lowered his head and turned around to peek, it was quite obvious.
Seeing Cheng Ning looking over, she didn't feel panicked or guilty about being caught, and she curved a crescent moon towards Cheng Ning.
The flying hairpin makes her extremely cute.
Gongsun Li also looked over, but she never showed her emotions. She just asked in a probing manner: "I don't know whose family they are from. I heard that most of the ones left in this year's draft are girls from aristocratic families."
If anyone pays attention, they will find that Gongsun Li is very relaxed when talking to Cheng Ning.
Unlike Wei Yanzhou and Wei just now, every question and answer came and went.
She and Cheng Ning didn't see each other much, but they both admired each other from the bottom of their hearts.
Moreover, her return to the court and her position as Minister of Dali Temple were also due to Cheng Ning, she knew it.
"From the Gao family." Cheng Ning twisted a few melon seeds and peeled them open on his fingertips: "It's called Gao Xinyi."
Unexpectedly, Cheng Ning even knew this. Gongsun Li glanced at Gao Xinyi again.
Their voices were not lowered deliberately, so Gao Xinyi also heard what Cheng Ning just said.
Not surprised, but scared.
She was young, and she didn't see Cheng Ning when she entered the palace, but the other party actually recognized her!
The lintel of the Gao family is not very high, and even His Majesty the new emperor would probably have to look at the roster to know who she is.
Why does this Concubine Xi seem to know the Gao family very well?
She was like a rabbit eating carrots, forgetting to make any movements when meeting someone.
The expression on his face that said: 'I won't get into trouble' pleased Cheng Ning.
Thinking that she had been naughty before, she became playful.
She changed her position, half-supporting the armchair with one hand, pretending to be fierce, and tapped Gao Xinyi from the air with a melon seed shell.
Gao Xinyi: "......"
She said she didn't want to enter the imperial palace.
But this was a court rule. Unless she was kicked out for some reason, her father would be disobeying the order.
She was not idle even after entering the palace. She always made trouble in Chuxiu Palace and did not learn the rules well.
I originally thought that I would be kicked out of the palace this way.
But she actually stayed all the way until now, and she didn't know what was going on in Concubine Hui's mind.
Now - what is this Concubine Xi thinking about?
She looked twice, just to admire this person who dared to openly challenge the emperor, but the emperor couldn't do anything to her.
He didn’t mean to offend her!
After a pause, Gao Xinyi had no choice but to escape, looked at his mouth, nose, and heart, and then looked at the floor.
Gongsun Li thought her expression was quite interesting and asked Cheng Ning, "Why are you teasing her?"
"Life is boring." Cheng Ning also laughed: "The little girl thought I was going to target her."
"Be careful of joining the queue to go to Concubine Hui. Your life in the palace will not be easy now."
Gongsunli knew she shouldn't say this, but the other party was Cheng Ning, and she felt there was nothing she couldn't say.
Cheng Ning put a peeled melon seed into his mouth and said, "No."
"Can't do anything?"
"Gao Ming is the prefect of Yanjing. He is different from other prefects. But I have seen him once. He is not a person who wants to cling to powerful people. Otherwise, among so many monsters and monsters in Yanjing, he would not be able to survive alone for so long."
Gongsun Li: "But now that Xie is the leader, the court's position is being updated."
This is the truth.
The Li family has stepped down, the family tree has collapsed, and the court is now at a delicate point.
"It cannot be said that pure ministers can be powerful, but now everyone has the same opportunity, and it depends on who will really rise next."
Cheng Ning finished speaking in a low voice and poured another fully peeled melon seed into Gongsun Li's palm.
The moment Gongsun Li closed his hand, Mu Di understood Cheng Ning's thoughts.
"You want me to make friends with Gao Ming?"
