Ning Xi knelt down lightly, raised his head and looked directly at the emperor who was sitting on a high seat: "The courtiers are an orphan girl, if there is no protection from her grandmother and uncle, how can you live a peaceful life today, even the princess mansion that should have been taken back is also left by the uncle's kindness to the courtiers, for the uncle's kindness, the courtiers have nothing to repay, it stands to reason, the uncle's arrangement, the courtiers are not qualified to beak, but relying on the uncle's favor, the courtiers boldly say that the courtiers are paranoid and not suitable to stay in the palace." ”

Ning Xi knew that what he said was really bold, sitting in front of him was the emperor who controlled the world, and no one dared to say a word to him, but Ning Xi still wanted to gamble, betting on the weight of his own niece in the emperor's heart.

The palace people left in the palace are the emperor's henchmen, seeing that the two masters did not speak, naturally did not dare to speak, for a while the hall was very quiet, only the emperor gently turned the sound of the wrench on his thumb, the emperor looked at the face that looked very much like his imperial sister, his heart was cold, and he slowly spoke: "Tell me the truth, did you move the same mind as your mother, and want to find a man who treats you wholeheartedly?" ”

Ning Xi was stunned, no wonder there was no one else around her father, it was for this reason, coming back to her senses, Ning Xi slowly lowered her head, she didn't know how to answer this question, which woman didn't expect to find a husband who held herself in the palm of her hand, but how difficult it was, and in the end she could only be silent.

The emperor took Ning Xi's silence as a tacit acquiescence, and sighed in his heart: "Do you know that you are different from your mother. ”

The corners of Ning Xi's mouth were a little bitter, she understood the meaning of the emperor's words, her mother was a noble eldest princess, there was a queen mother who loved her, and the entire royal family supported her, she could do whatever she wanted, but Ning Xi couldn't, although nominally she was the granddaughter of the British Mansion, the emperor's niece, and the title of county lord, but the British Mansion would eventually be handed over to the eldest uncle, and the emperor was busy with daily affairs, sometimes he couldn't even take care of his own children, how could he have time to worry about her, in the final analysis, she was just an orphan daughter without a father and mother.

"The courtiers have never had the luxury of being rich and rich, nor are they extravagant in love, the courtiers only hope that they can live freely in the future, laugh when they want to laugh, cry when they want to cry, the courtiers are selfish people, and they don't want to wronged themselves."

Yes, she is different from her mother, so what she asks for is not the same as her mother, she will no longer love someone stupidly like she did in her previous life, and delay her whole life in love, in this life, she only wants to be able to live freely, she doesn't have to fight or fight, she doesn't live this life for love.

Hearing this, the emperor took a new look at the woman in front of him, he also has a princess, and naturally understands that girls have some longing for love, but Ning Xi bluntly said that he does not ask for love, but only wants himself to live comfortably in the future, he actually knows that it is not a good thing for women to take love too seriously, and he can live better like Ning Xi, but he still can't help but feel sad, thinking that Ning Xi has lost his parents since he was a child, and lacks care, so he will grow up quickly, lose the innocence that a girl should have, and even see love so thoroughly.

He originally wanted Li Yu to marry Ning Xi, Li Yu has a gentle temperament, plus he is shaking on it, and he will not be bad for Ning Xi, so he is worthy of his imperial sister and brother-in-law, but he ignored Ning Xi's intentions, since she was unwilling, the emperor did not want to force it.

"My niece, who dares to give you grievances, I will find a good family for you in the future, and I will not wronged you."

Ning Xi breathed a sigh of relief, this matter was revealed, and he responded with a smile. As for the emperor saying that she would be married, Ning Xi didn't pay attention to it at all, anyway, she is still young now, so she is not in a hurry.

After coming out of the Qianqing Palace, Ning Xi went to Yanshou Palace again, but was told by the Queen Mother's side that the Queen Mother was not in good health and could not see her, and when she left, she accidentally got a moire brocade cloak, knowing that the Queen Mother still treats herself with affection, Ning Xi does not mind the Queen Mother's avoidance.

When Ning Xi arrived at Fengyi Palace, the queen was entertaining, and the person who came was the queen's maiden sister-in-law, Yan's, now Mrs. Shun'an Hou, speaking of which, the queen's maiden family had begun to decline in the early years, and there was no real power in her hands, and the high-ranking families were unwilling to marry their daughters-in-law, and finally Mrs. Shun'an Hou had to marry her son to the daughter of a four-grade official, which was the Yan family in front of her, and later because of a queen in the family, the Shun'an Hou Mansion naturally rose, but because of the decline of the early years, Now in the capital, it is not up and down, the emperor and his wife are quite satisfied, the emperor does not need strong relatives, and the queen is too aware of her brother and sister-in-law's limelight temperament, afraid that the status of the Shun'an Hou Mansion is too high, and the brother and sister-in-law have no scruples to cause trouble outside and implicate their son.

After Ning Xi saluted, before the queen could speak, Yan on the side smiled and said: "It's really a coincidence that you can meet the county lord of Pingle in Fengyi Palace." ”

Hearing Yan's words, the queen frowned and glanced at Yan, and finally looked at Ning Xi, seeing that the girl was still standing with a smile, she loosened her brows, beckoned Ning Xi to sit down, and then asked, "I heard that the emperor summoned you to the palace today, have you been to the Qianqing Palace?" The words were a little kind

Ning Xi nodded obediently, and then said: "Originally, I wanted to come to ask Niangniang to say goodbye, but I didn't want to say that Madame was also there, I don't know if the courtiers would disturb Niangniang." ”

"What bother, you are also the niece of this palace, and you often come to accompany this palace, and it is too late for this palace to be happy." As he spoke, he looked at Yan and the woman beside him, and said, "This is Ziyu's aunt, don't be rusty, just call your aunt, as for Huashang, she is one year older than you, and it's okay to call your cousin." ”

Xu Huashang is the only daughter of the Yan family

Ning Xi responded, and called out with a smile: "Hello uncle, good cousin." ”

Yan heard that Ning Xi was summoned into the palace by the emperor, thinking that Ning Xi was very well received by the emperor, so he didn't dare to hold it up, and responded with a smile, but that Xu Huashang, Ning Xi always felt that she looked at herself with scrutiny, and there was an inexplicable hostility, but anyway, she was not an important person, and Ning Xi didn't care much.

"By the way, why haven't I seen the second prince today, it's rare for the courtiers to enter the palace, and I miss the second prince a lot."

Hearing this, Ning Xi was happy, she didn't go out often, but she had also heard that the Yan family often handed signs to the palace, so she also said that it was rare for her to enter the palace, and she was really humble.

The queen was about to answer, when someone from the palace came in to report that the second prince was coming, the queen frowned without a trace, and when the second prince came in, the queen asked, "Why do you have time to come here today?" ”

Li Yu replied with a smile: "I heard that my aunt and cousins are in Fengyi Palace, and the matter at hand has been dealt with anyway, so I came over to take a look." As he spoke, he looked at Ning Xi: "Cousin Ning hasn't been in the palace for a long time, why don't I accompany you to the garden." ”

Seeing that the faces of Yan's mother and daughter changed instantly, the corners of Ning Xi's mouth twitched, Li Yu, you are here to pull hatred for me, don't make a look like we have a good relationship, okay, we don't know each other at all!

Ignored by the second prince, the Yan family is fine, Xu Huasheng looked at Ning Xi as if she was looking at the enemy who snatched her husband, the grievance in Ning Xi's heart, girl, I just rejected the emperor, don't worry, I won't rob a man with you, can you take away your murderous eyes? Of course, Ning Xi only dared to say these words in his heart.

"Yu'er, didn't you see that your aunt and cousin Xu were there? How to speak. The queen said a few words to Li Yu without pain, and then explained to Yan's: "Xi'er and Yu'er have always had a good relationship, Xi'er rarely enters the palace once, Yu'er is inevitably excited, sister-in-law don't mind." ”

Yan Shi sneered: "The children have a good relationship, and our elders are relieved to see it." "Although I said this on my lips, I slandered in my heart, why haven't I heard that the second prince has a good relationship with the county lord of Pingle.

The queen secretly glanced at Li Yu before saying, "Accompany your two cousins to the garden, and you, as a brother, take care of your two younger sisters." ”

Li Yu nodded, and then said to Ning Xi and Xu Huasheng: "Two sisters, please." ”

Ning Xi was extremely depressed, originally thinking that although he was summoned by the emperor, if he didn't come to greet the queen, the queen would inevitably react in her heart, so she came to Fengyi Palace, but she didn't want to end up accompanying two people who didn't know each other at all to visit the imperial garden.

After leaving Fengyi Palace, Xu Huashang immediately gathered next to Li Yu and asked happily: "Cousin, Shang'er hasn't seen you for a long time, and every time you come to your aunt's place, you don't have time to see people." ”

"The affairs of the DPRK and China are relatively busy, and I rarely have time to spare."

Xu Huashang tilted her head and smiled playfully: "Then you must play with me more today, we rarely see each other." ”

"Yes." Li Yu replied, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

And Ning Xi, who was walking a little behind them, looked at his nose and nose, but he didn't hear the conversation between the two. A discerning person can see at a glance that this Xu Huashang likes the second prince, but what the attitude of the queen and the second prince is is to be considered, but Ning Xi doesn't want to be involved in this mess anyway.

When the three of them walked into the imperial garden, a little palace maid suddenly ran out, and she didn't know what made her so hurried, she didn't even notice the three of them, and hit the three of them straight, Li Yu quickly dodged away, Ning Xi walked behind them, and it was naturally fine, and the last unlucky one was our Miss Xu, who watched herself be knocked to the ground by a palace maid. Fortunately, the palace people around him reacted quickly enough, and immediately pulled Xu Huashang up, except for the clothes and hair that were a little messy, nothing happened.

"Such a bold palace maid, she dared to collide with this girl." Thinking of being ugly in front of her sweetheart, Xu Huashang was angry, and no matter what she looked like now, she scolded the palace maid when she opened her mouth.

"This young lady, please forgive the sin, the slave maid is serving by the eldest princess's side, because there is something wrong with the eldest princess's clothes, the slave and maid are in a hurry to go to the Shangyi Bureau, and they don't notice it for a while, but they actually collide with the young lady, and ask the young lady to forgive the slave and the maid."
