You can't hide from it.
Wei Yanzhou had many ways to force Cheng Ning to submit.
But Cheng Ning can't take advantage of others, so he can only win.
Finally, Cheng Ning was pressed into her arms and forced to swallow the bowl of ginger tea, which almost made her burst into tears.
"O-Ba...ugh!"
Wei Yanzhou handed the empty bowl to Wang Xi, took Chunhua's handkerchief and wiped away the water stains on her lips that she had not had time to swallow.
"Yeah, bastard." Wei Yanzhou selected from the tea snacks, selected one that was equally sweet, and stuffed it into Cheng Ning's lips.
The ginger tea was indeed spicy, he could feel it just by smelling it.
So this makes her tongue loosen up quickly.
He saw Cheng Ning eating sour plums. Meng Xin said that it was normal to have sour taste when she was unhappy.
I just don't know if Cheng Ning will notice it.
Holding Cheng Ning and weighing it, he just wanted to tell Cheng Ning that he had no reason to give Xinyi a high rank.
It's because when she was kneeling awkwardly, she felt a bit like Cheng Ning, a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
Trapping such a person in the harem will only increase innocence.
It's so easy to register as a concubine, just a few words is enough.
But his original intention was not to think about how many concubines there were in the harem.
The reason he established the queen and concubine in the first place was because he had just ascended the throne. If he wanted to secure the throne, he really needed to use some detours.
It's okay to say it's a use.
Except for Cheng Ning, Cheng Ning was the only one he wanted to carefully place in his room.
Now that he is in power, even if he doesn't have to become a concubine, it will be easy to activate the Gao family.
It was only because Wang Xi interrupted him that his emotions dissipated just now. It was a bit difficult for him to speak out now.
Wang Xi was hit by a flying knife again for no reason. He was very innocent.
"It's not that I won't deal with Xie Qingyi," Wei Yanzhou said about something else: "It's just that many of the powerful ministers in my hands have not yet gained a firm foothold."
Ambition and great achievements are not achieved overnight, nor does Mount Tai collapse overnight.
Xie's roots are deep, and the officials involved are as complicated as the roots of a big tree.
This was part of the reason why he chose Xie instead of Li.
The Li family is a powerful family, growing rapidly, but its foundation is not deep.
So it can cut through the mess quickly.
But Xie Zhiyun actually inherited a century-old foundation from the ancestors of the Xie family.
Move the whole body.
So he could only dig slowly, little by little.
The same thing happened with Yu Mian last time. Why not go directly to the Xie family to cause trouble? Instead, go to the Xie family in person to find evidence.
It's the same thing.
Before it was time to move to Xie's house, I was too anxious to eat hot tofu.
Cheng Ning didn't expect that he would explain this to herself.
She frowned as she was poisoned by Jiang Shui and relaxed a little: "Are you planning to attack the Xie family?"
In fact, there are also vague guesses.
But Cheng Ning didn't expect that Wei Yanzhou would just tell her.
This person has always been decisive in doing things, but when it comes to the Xie family, he has saved Xie Nianyao and Xie Qingyi time and time again.
Cheng Ning asked: "Do you have no affection for Xie Nianyao and Xie Qingyi?"
Is it possible that everything is just a pretense and a pretense?
Wei Yanzhou looked like: I am telling you about court affairs, why are you talking about the love between children?
He said: "Do I have feelings for you, and I still want to report it to you? Are you being arrogant because of your favor, aren't you, Concubine Xi?"
"Is pressing down on your legs and pouring ginger soup on them is pampering? Then you should pamper them." Cheng Ning reached the floor with both feet: "Put me down."
Wei Yanzhou refused to give in.
"Then tell me, what are you going to do with the Xie family?" Cheng Ning gave up the struggle, otherwise he would be the one to die from exhaustion.
"You want to trick me without any benefit?" Wei Yanzhou pinched her face: "Is your deal too good?"
"What benefit do you want?"
Cheng Ning has nothing to offer, and he definitely can't buy it with money.
"Kiss me." Wei Yanzhou felt that his request was very reasonable and not embarrassing at all.
Chunhua glanced at Wang Xi and withdrew very consciously this time.
"..."
Cheng Ning looked around in disbelief and said, "You know it's broad daylight now, right?"
"Huh," Wei Yanzhou snorted coldly, "I'm not blind yet."
"Then how can you say it! There are servants all around!"
Wei Yanzhou just thought she was making a fuss: "The entire palace belongs to me. Do I want to kiss them during the day or at night? Do I have to look at their faces?"
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
This person's shamelessness, Cheng Ning, really shouldn't be underestimated.
She gritted her teeth and really wanted to know his plans for the Xie family, so she took Wei Yanzhou's hand and kissed the back of his hand.
Wei Yanzhou: "...?"
Cheng Ning was very principled: "You only said a kiss, not where. Your Majesty had better not break your promise."
Wei Yanzhou laughed angrily at her.
But he had never had any morals when it came to Cheng Ning, so he grabbed her chin and automatically gave her a long kiss.
When they separated, Cheng Ning was panting.
"If everything goes well, the Xie family will soon have all the evidence of the officials involved in the negotiations. How long do you think I will let him go?"
Cheng Ning wiped her lips, and she wanted to know: "How long?"
"If it goes quickly, it will be autumn, if it goes slowly, it will be the end of the year."
It's not summer yet, which means it will take more than half a year.
Cheng Ning couldn't wait so long.
"Why this expression? What are you thinking about?" Wei Yanzhou pinched her face.
"Why are you always curious about what I'm thinking?"
Cheng Ning slapped his hand away and broke free from his grasp, but her legs weakened when she landed. Fortunately, Wei Yanzhou's quick eyesight and quick hands caught him.
"Because sometimes I don't know what you are thinking," Wei Yanzhou grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't try to do things I don't know, Cheng Ning."
Like a warning.
Cheng Ning smiled lightly: "I know."
Just do it without leaving any trace.
At this time, Wang Xi, who had exited, came in again.
It was obviously the same pace as before, but Cheng Ning felt that his expression was a little weird.
He bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, we have government affairs."
If it wasn't an urgent government matter, he wouldn't bother you at this time.
Wei Yanzhou understood him and calmly let go of Cheng Ning's hand: "Let's go."
If he hadn't been delayed by the draft, he really shouldn't be in Linhua Palace at this time.
But it was only half a day's leisure.
Cheng Ning took a second look and saluted: "Best farewell to Your Majesty."
After the others went out, she called Chunhua: "Were you with Eunuch Wang just now? Did you hear what happened?"
"Never," Chunhua recalled from afar: "A guard came to report. The prince is always careful about this kind of thing, and I didn't dare to ask for trouble, so I ran away."
"Guard?"
If it's government affairs, shouldn't it be the chamberlain of Chengqian Palace who comes to invite people?
"Yes! I whispered something in the ear of the prince and then hurriedly retreated."
Cheng Ning still felt that something was fishy: "What's Wang Xi's expression like?"
"Eunuch Wang glanced at me." Chunhua didn't see anything special: "I guess you're afraid that I might eavesdrop."
Cheng Ning nodded and stepped into the house.
But when he turned around, a cup was poured out of his belt, and it shattered on the stone floor.
A little further away from Linhua Palace, Wang Xi's expression that had been tense for a long time could no longer be maintained.
He was worried and whispered something in Wei Yanzhou's ear.
Wei Yanzhou's expression suddenly changed: "You say it again!?"
