I heard that Yu's face was covered with red bumps later, and Yong Ningbo Bo threw Mengxian into the military camp of the Praetorian Guard in a fit of anger, but Ning Xi didn't have time to pay attention to these gossips, because the emperor's three holy decrees early in the morning shocked the entire capital.

The first holy decree is to crown the second prince as the virtuous king, and the second holy decree is to give marriage to Ning Miao and the second prince, both of which seem to be good things, but the premise is that in the absence of the third holy decree, the third holy decree will make Xu Huashang, the niece of the queen, the daughter of the Marquis of Shun'an, the concubine of the queen, the side concubine of the virtuous king, and enter the mansion before Ning Miao.

The people in the capital began to look, the emperor's holy decree slapped the face of the British Mansion and the Shun'an Hou Mansion, the two women are the daughters of the family, but they are divided into one big and one small, and the side concubine entered the house first, this dynasty is not the prince who did not marry the side concubine first, but it was a last resort in the absence of a suitable concubine, and I have never heard of the situation of canonizing the concubine but letting the side concubine enter the palace first, and the conspiracy theorists in the court even began to suspect that the emperor was going to attack one of the families.

Ning Xi knew about this after receiving the holy decree from the British government, and he didn't know if it was ordered by the emperor, and the eunuch who announced the decree specially revealed the third holy decree to them.

At that moment, Xu's face turned pale, Ning Xi glanced at Xu's with some concern, to say that Xu's life was extremely smooth, he was spoiled by his parents when he was at home, and he was favored by his husband after he got married, but he didn't want to break his heart in this child's family affairs.

"Auntie, can I go and accompany my second sister?"

Xu smiled reluctantly: "Good boy, go and accompany her, I won't be able to leave here for a while." ”

Ning Xi nodded, walked to Ning Miao's side, took her hand, and said, "Second sister, can I go to your courtyard for breakfast today?" ”

Ning Miao pinched Ning Xi's nose: "Snack goods." ”

Ning Xi pretended to smile playfully.

After returning to the house, Ning Miao picked up the needle and thread and began to embroider the purse, Ning Xi sat on the side and watched, and after watching for a while, she didn't know what Ning Miao was thinking now?

Xu is Ning Xi's gaze was too warm, Ning Miao put down the needle and thread in her hand and looked at Ning Xi: "You are worried about me." ”

Ning Xi pursed his lips and acquiesced.

Ning Miao smiled, shook her head, and said, "What is there to worry about, I was mentally prepared after learning that I might marry into the royal family, this side concubine will have sooner or later, what does it make if it is early or late." ”

"But" Ning Xi bit her lip, but it was too unfavorable for the concubine to enter the mansion earlier than the concubine, not only could she catch the heart of the second prince first, but also be familiar with the affairs of the mansion first, and it would be easy to stumble on the concubine after the concubine entered the mansion.

But she can think of these questions, Ning Miao can't think of it? In front of a smart person like Ning Miao, Ning Xi felt that he was useless at all. What if she was reborn, in front of the imperial power, she still couldn't change anything, thinking of this, Ning Xiqing was a little low, hugged Ning Miao's hand, stretched her head over and rubbed it.

Ning Miao patted Ning Xi's head and said lightly: "Not everyone can meet someone who treats her sincerely like the eldest sister, and not everyone can live a life of affection like their mother and father, my mother always says that I don't understand love, in fact, this is not a good thing, don't you think that I will become a qualified princess like this?" ”

Ning Xi nodded, although she felt that Ning Miao was reasonable, but she couldn't help but feel sad, she had experienced the pain of love in her previous life, and she would look down on love in this life, but Ning Miao was not, she was born with wisdom, and this intelligence made her see the world too early, but is this really a good thing?

Ning Xi continued to rub Ning Miao's body with his head: "I don't want you to marry the second prince." ”

Ning Miao sighed lightly, how could she want to marry into the royal family, but how many things in a woman's life can make her own decisions. She glanced at Ning Xi uneasily, although Ning Xi was smart, she hid her mind too deeply, and when she got married in the future, who could she talk to?

After the two of them had eaten, Ning Xi left. Ning Xi, who walked out of the courtyard, was still in a very low mood, she couldn't help but look back at the courtyard behind her, if she knew that the person who would marry into the royal family instead of her now would be Ning Miao, would she still refuse the emperor at the beginning? If Ning Miao knew that the emperor wanted her to become a royal daughter-in-law in the future, would Ning Miao resent her?

Ning Xi sighed lowly, and didn't want to think about it anymore, so it was better to hand a sign to the queen first and check out.

After Ning Xi left, Ning Miao continued to make a purse, but her fingertips were accidentally pricked by a needle, looking at the blood that was rushing out, Ning Miao laughed at herself: "It seems that this is really not an expected marriage." ”

At the same time, there are two people in the British Mansion who are quite resentful about the marriage, that is, the Da Qin clan and the Xiao Qin clan, they plan to marry Ning Yan into the royal family, and now seeing that Ning Miao was given to marry the second prince, they are angry and hateful in their hearts, but they dare not declare their anger, so they can only grit their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.

The flowers bloom in two branches, one on each branch

The queen learned of these three holy decrees not much earlier than the other nobles in the capital, and the emperor only called someone to inform her after these three holy decrees were issued, yes, just informed, and did not even leave her a little room for redemption.

The queen sat on the chaise longue a little sluggishly, she thought that she had been operating in the back seat for many years and had already cultivated a stone heart, but the emperor's vigorous and resolute behavior this time still made her feel heartache.

I don't say that my niece only sealed a side concubine, but the side concubine turned out to be more advanced in the palace than the concubine, and people who don't know the inside story will only think that this is the reason why she, the queen, is getting in the way, what will the people of the world think of her, what did she do wrong, the emperor actually disregarded the love of husband and wife for many years, and slapped her in the face so hard,

When the emperor came in, he saw the queen's appearance. Sighing, he dismissed the palace people, sat down beside the queen, and asked, "Are you weird?" ”

When the queen heard the emperor's voice, she slowly raised her head, moved her lips, and said slowly after a while: "I thought that the emperor would at least discuss it with his concubines." ”

"Then did you ask me when you gave the second lady of the Ning family a gift?"

The queen looked at the emperor suddenly, it turned out that he had been thinking about this matter all along, was it just because of this trivial matter that he was going to warn her about her son's marriage?

When the emperor saw the queen's expression, he knew that the queen didn't understand what he was wrong with. stood up, carried the queen on his back, and said lightly: "Back then, your Shun'an Hou Mansion was weak, and you couldn't help me at all, but I still chose to marry you as a concubine, do you know why?" ”

The queen's expression moved slightly, and she said softly: "The emperor once said that because the concubines can see the situation clearly and are sensible, they will not cause you trouble." ”

"So now, what did you do, queen, could it be that you sit too firmly in the back seat, and you don't even know your duty?"

The queen was shocked, and heard the emperor continue: "I did have the idea of letting Pingle marry Ziyu before, but Ziyu is also your child, even if I really want to marry Pingle to Ziyu, I will discuss it with you in advance, if you really don't like it, I won't force you to agree, but you are afraid that you will reward Miss Ning Er at Miss Ning Er's ceremony, I really don't understand, my niece is so unbearable, you would rather promote a woman who has met two or three times than Pingle to marry Ziyu." ”

The queen's heart was full of bitterness, was it really because of Ning Xi, although she promoted Miss Ning Er, she didn't do anything to hurt Ning Xi, although she couldn't say that she couldn't say that she was digging out her heart and lungs when she treated Ning Xi, was she also courteous, couldn't she have been in love with him for many years compared to a Ning Xi?

The emperor continued: "As for your mother's family, I don't know what they are planning. ”

The queen was shocked, raised her head, and explained: "The concubine has never moved her mind that should not be moved. ”

"You haven't touched it, but what about your mother's family? Do you dare to say that they haven't moved, you obviously know what they are planning, but not only did you not suppress their thoughts, but even frequently met with Mrs. Shun'an Hou Shizi, which made them more and more inflated, do you know that my study is full of excerpts from your Shun'an Hou Mansion. ”

The queen's face turned pale, and she only wanted to raise the Shun'an Hou Mansion when she met her sister-in-law, after all, the Shun'an Hou Mansion was not as beautiful as other families. What did the parents, brother and sister-in-law do, so that the emperor was so angry.

"Now I have made Miss Ning Er and your niece concubines as you wish, but in the future, if the Shun'an Hou Mansion still doesn't know how to act, then don't blame me for not thinking about my love for many years."

After saying that, the emperor didn't stay anymore, he just wanted to knock the queen, the queen has acted frivolously over the years, but after all, he has been married for many years, and he doesn't plan to really fall into the queen's face, otherwise he wouldn't have warned the queen in private.

In fact, his decree this time was carefully considered, and the concubine of the Shun'an Hou Mansion was named the side concubine, on the one hand, it did have the meaning of beating, on the other hand, he also wanted to see how big the appetite of Shun'an Hou was, as for Miss Ning Er, he sent someone to investigate carefully, Miss Ning Er is indeed capable of the position of Princess Xian, but she is too well protected and lacks experience, Xu Huashang is the whetstone he gave to Miss Ning Er.

As soon as he stepped out of Fengyi Palace, a eunuch walked over with two signs, and saw that the emperor was busy kneeling down and saluting.

The emperor frowned: "Who handed it in?" ”

"Lady Shun'an Hou and Lord Pingle County."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and ordered: "Before the second prince gets married, the sign of the Marquis of Shun'an Mansion is not allowed to enter the Fengyi Palace, and as for the county lord of Pingle, it will also be temporarily returned." ”

The little eunuch hurriedly responded and left Fengyi Palace, and everyone in the Shun'an Hou Mansion, who had been wanting to enter the palace to inquire about the situation, did not wait for the queen's call until Xu Huashang got married.

After the emperor returned to the imperial study, he thought about it for a while, called the eunuch beside him, and said: "Go and send a message to the lord of Pingle, tell her to stay at home and embroider the wedding dress, and when she and Lu Zhen will give her a marriage, don't meddle in things all day long." ”

After the eunuch conveyed these words to Ning Xi word for word, Ning Xi came back to her senses for a long time, such straightforward and vulgar words were really said by her high-ranking emperor's uncle? Why don't you suddenly say such a horrible thing, you will have nightmares at night!

However, this did extinguish Ning Xi's idea of entering the palace to find out the news, Ning Miao's matter was a foregone conclusion, and no one could change it.
