When the meeting ended, it was already the beginning of the lanterns.

When everyone left, Fu Yunfei passed by Chen Ning's side and snorted coldly, his expression a little dazed. He was indeed in a more proud mood, after all, he kept the position of the governor of the capital this time, as for going to the West Plains to supervise the battle, with the strength of the Fu family, there must be no problem. At this time, Fu Yunfei looked at Chen Ning's eyes, and seemed to be saying to Chen Ning: "Xiaoxiao, if you want to snatch my position as the governor of the capital, you think too much."

Chen Ning was very calm and left with Wei Qing and the others.

Wei Qing invited Chen Ning to the Wei Mansion as a guest, but Chen Ning smiled and said: "I came back in a hurry this time, I haven't gone to the palace to say hello to the Queen Mother, please forgive Brother Wei, I will visit tomorrow." ”

Wei Qing said with a smile: "I understand, after all, Brother Chen is a member of the royal family, and I can definitely understand this." ”

When Chen Ning heard Wei Qing's words, especially when Wei Qing said that he was a member of the royal family, he always felt weird, as if Wei Qing had something to say. Then Chen Ning involuntarily sounded that he used the identity of the ranger Chen Bai to participate in the selection and finally become the eldest princess's concubine, which was instantly a little embarrassing.

However, from Chen Ning's identity as the commander of the royal legion, it makes sense to say that Chen Ning is a member of the royal family.

Chen Ning said goodbye to Wei Qing, Yin Changfeng, Mu Shuai and others, and when he walked out of the door, he found that there were more than a dozen luxurious vehicles parked on the street, all of which had royal markings, and Hai Laifu, the chief administrator of the Great House, had already greeted him with a few servants: "Commander Chen, the old servant has been waiting here for a long time, please follow me into the palace to meet the Queen Mother!"

"Good!"

Chen Ning took Kan Jing, Bull Demon King and other subordinates, got into the car one after another, and followed Hai Laifu to the palace.

After coming to the palace, Kan Jing and the Bull Demon King and other subordinates had their own special reception, Chen Ning came to the imperial study with Hai Laifu, at this time the Queen Mother was talking to the eldest princess Jiangling, Chen Ning stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen the Queen Mother, I have seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”

"Hehe, Chen Ning is here, don't be polite, give me a seat!"

A eunuch brought a chair, and Chen Ning sat down.

The Queen Mother asked with a smile: "Chen Ning, it is said that the cabinet has held a meeting to discuss the issue between you and Fu Yunfei, what is the result?"

Chen Ning briefly recounted the experience and results, and finally said with a wry smile: "The cabinet has decided to send Fu Yunfei to Xiyuan to supervise the battle and atone for his crimes." ”

Jiang Ling sighed: "I knew that it was not so easy to bring down Fu Yunfei, Fu Yunfei went to Xiyuan to supervise the battle, the Fu family only needs to send a large number of private soldiers to assist, send powerful Hakka retainers to help, and even find mercenaries to help, and then vigorously support in intelligence materials and equipment." As long as Fu Yunfei is not a fool, it is very simple to win one or two big battles. So basically, this punishment of atonement for sins is nothing but nothing for Fu Yunfei. ”

Compared with Jiangling's slight loss, the Queen Mother was very calm, and said with a smile: "If the imperial power wants to rise, it is not something that can be done overnight, but now that Chen Ning is growing up little by little, I believe that it will not be long before Chen Ning can really sit on the position of the Grand Governor." ”

Then, the Queen Mother talked to Chen Ning about a lot of things, and gave Chen Ning and Chen Ning's soldiers a lot of rewards, and the royal family has never been stingy with rewards.

In the end, when Chen Ning was retiring, the Queen Mother asked intentionally or unintentionally: "By the way, Chen Ning, I forgot to ask your Purple Qi Donglai Technique, how heavy is your cultivation?"

"Empress Dowager, second weight!"

After Chen Ning subconsciously answered, he suddenly came back to his senses, this purple qi from the east was secretly given to him by Jiang Ling, and it stands to reason that the Queen Mother didn't know. Could it be that this matter has already been known to the Queen Mother?

Chen Ning couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle for this thought that rose in his heart, and secretly glanced at the eldest princess Jiang Ling next to him, Jiang Ling lowered his head at this time, and seemed to be a little red.

The Queen Mother looked at Chen Ning with a smile, and said lightly: "It's not bad, few people in the Purple Qi East Technique can cultivate beyond the fifth level, Chen Ning, work hard!"

Chen Ning's heart beat faster, and he answered the order on his lips, but he was thinking in his heart: What does the Queen Mother mean, this makes it clear that I am cultivating purple qi from the east, and encourages me to come on, is this treating me as the most trusted general of the royal family, or treating me as a concubine? If the latter is the case, it will be embarrassing!

The Queen Mother nodded and instructed Jiang Ling: "Ling'er, take Chen Ning down, Chen Ning is a member of the royal family, so you don't have to live outside...... Well, let's live in the Purple Yao Hall for the time being!"

When Jiang Ling heard the Queen Mother's words, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, but soon regained his composure: "Yes!"

Chen Ning didn't react much, because he didn't know that Ziyao Hall had always been the place where the prince or emperor lived, and he thought it was an ordinary courtyard.

Jiang Ling couldn't help but think: Chen Ning is getting stronger and stronger now, so the Queen Mother is also a little eager to tie Chen Ning and the royal family more closely. Now if it is proposed to let Chen Ning be a concubine, maybe Chen Ning may not accept it, so the Queen Mother came step by step, first let Chen Ning cultivate the Purple Qi Donglai Technique, let Chen Ning live in the palace, and live in the most controversial imperial palace, first secretly sit on the name of Chen Ning's concubine.

That night, Chen Ning stayed in Ziyao Palace, and Kan Jing and the Bull Demon King and other cronies and soldiers naturally lived in the same courtyard as Chen Ning, responsible for personally guarding Chen Ning.

What Chen Ning didn't know was that when they lived in the Ziyao Palace, because the palace maids frequently came in and out, they sent all kinds of daily utensils, which made the Nine Emperor Princes Jiang Liuyun who passed by outside the Ziyao Hall very stunned.

Because many princes have asked the Queen Mother to give them this dormitory to live in, but the Queen Mother has refused.

In the minds of the princes, this dormitory is where the prince lives, and whoever can live here means that he has a good chance of becoming the next emperor, so everyone is crazy to please the queen mother on weekdays and wants to live here.

The first emperor died of illness, and the queen had no sons, but a group of concubines gave birth to more than 20 princes to the first emperor.

After the queen mother became regent, she felt that none of these princes and other princes were outstanding, so she was so strong that she did not elect a new emperor, and she personally managed the royal family.

The royal family has long had no say in the empire, and now the royal family is almost a wealthy family, and there is no need to manage state affairs, so the queen mother controls and personally manages the royal family, and everyone is helpless, and the most important thing is that none of these people has the ability to fight the queen mother.

However, the emperor's seat has been vacant, and the princes, including some princes and princes, all have their own thoughts.

The Nine Emperor Princes, Jiang Liuyun, was the most outstanding of the many princes, and he was also the one with the highest voice for the emperor, so when he passed by the outside of the Ziyao Palace, he was taken aback when he found that there were people inside, and there were obviously people staying in.

He hurriedly asked the soldiers guarding the gate of the courtyard of the Ziyao Palace, "Who stayed in the Ziyao Palace?"

The guards reported truthfully: "The Nine Emperor Princes are the leaders of Chen Ning." ”

Jiang Liuyun's face instantly became ugly, and he said that he understood, then glanced at Ziyao Palace, and then left with his servants.

Jiang Liuyun came out of the palace, his face was very ugly, he knew that the Queen Mother valued Jiangling very much, and she valued Chen Ning very much. But he didn't expect that now the Queen Mother would let Chen Ning live in Ziyao Palace, these meanings, is it possible to let Chen Ning be an outsider to be the emperor?

Jiang Liuyun came to a top entertainment club, he and his servants had just gotten out of the car, and then suddenly there were several high-end cars around him, and then he saw Fu Yunfei with a group of subordinates appear in front of him.

When Jiang Liuyun saw Fu Yunfei, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly saluted: "Metropolitan Governor!"

Fu Yunfei smiled and said, "Hey, it's His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, so there's no need to be polite." Come on, come on, since we met, let's go in and have a good drink. ”

Jiang Liuyun was a little flattered, after all, he was just a little down-and-out prince, how could he compare with Fu Yunfei?

But seeing that Fu Yunfei was not polite, he said a little excitedly: "That's good, that's good, but tonight I have to treat you, and I invite the Metropolitan Governor to drink." ”

Fu Yunfei: "Hehe, although I am the Grand Governor, who doesn't know that the Nine Emperors are the future monarch, you are still polite to me, and I still need you to take care of me in the future!"

At this point, Jiang Liuyun was embarrassed, but also showed sadness and unwillingness in his eyes, because he knew that after Chen Ning stayed in Ziyao Palace, he realized that he might not have a chance to become a monarch.

Fu Yunfei Jiang Liuyun saw the strong unwilling emotion in his eyes, and smiled coldly in his heart: Hehe, it seems that my father is right, to destroy Chen Ning's relationship with the royal family, you still have to start from within the royal family.
