chapter22

Her Majesty the Empress wants to see him?

See what he does!

Ning Yufei didn't slow down for a long time, and then turned his head to look at the prince with a worried face: "...... Didn't you say okay, our relationship should not be sued by others for the time being? ”

"It's okay, the queen mother won't say it, and the queen mother is no one else." Shen Lingyu winked at him.

Ning Yufei's legs were a little weak by the blink of these golden eyes, but he still knew the severity: "But what do you want to do when you see me?" ”

Oh, my God! Let's not mention that the queen is the stepmother of the prince, even if it is her own mother, it is also the queen's majesty, is it said that you will see it? Ning Yufei didn't think that Her Majesty the Empress would be so kind and amiable to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!

The prince squeezed his hand and rubbed his slender fingers playfully: "Don't be nervous, you are my lover, and it is understandable that the queen mother wants to see it." ”

Don't be nervous to have a ghost!

Shen Tianxun was too good to treat him, firstly, Xie Jing was too ruthless at that time, she had palpitations, and she couldn't wait to offer Ning Yufei as a savior; Second, it is also because her personality is soft, she was famous for her good temperament when she was a princess, and now that she is in the middle of her life, she cultivates her self-cultivation and her personality is better.

But will this be the case with Her Majesty the Empress?

Miss Yan, who was born in the Grand Duke's Mansion, heard that when she was young, she was a gorgeous red rose, and the young people of the entire Imperial Capital Star were crazy about it. The scenery married into the royal family, and the emperor was also in love for a while, but now His Majesty is really ridiculous to the point that it is rare in the world, marrying such a beauty, and not changing his mind, half a year later he was caught stealing, and the two had a hard fight.

Pity...... They are not a simple marriage relationship, and political factors are mixed in it, but they can't divorce if they want to.

At first, the emperor coveted her beauty and coaxed her, but later saw that she was hard-hearted, he simply didn't care, and he had no scruples about playing. The queen also has no expectations for him, and lives a life of detachment.

Although today's imperial palace has long lost the bad habits of three palaces and six courts, the life of today's queens is really not as comfortable as the ancient queens.

Will a woman who has been ravaged for decades like this be as simple and simple as Shen Tianxun? Ning Yufei killed and didn't believe it!

"Brother Ling Yu......" Ning Yufei couldn't wait to whisper to him, "I ......"

"Don't want to see the queen mother?"

Ning Yufei was about to nod wildly, but immediately noticed that the prince's tone was not quite right.

Sure enough, before he could speak, the prince asked lightly, "Actually, you don't recognize me, right?" ”

Ning Yufei lifted his heart suddenly.

Shen Lingyu lowered his head and gently rubbed Ning Yufei's fingers as if he was caressing a beautiful jade: "Do you know how much I want to tell the world the news that you are my lover?" Do you know how much I wish someone would come and share my joy? Do you know how much I long for even one person to bless us? ”

As he spoke, his eyelashes trembled slightly, covering his dazzling golden eyes, casting a shadow on his eyelids, which inexplicably made people feel a slight chill.

Ning Yufei was excited, and quickly spoke without hesitation: "Brother Ling Yu, I also want to, but you have to consider your reputation, although we are not cousins in name, but we are related by blood, I am afraid that when the time comes, someone will make a fuss about this and cause trouble in vain, it will be too cost-effective!" ”

He reacted extremely quickly and greatly pleased His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Shen Lingyu said softly: "...... I know you're for my good. ”

Ning Yufei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and made persistent efforts to reassure: "It's not that I don't want to see the queen mother, it's just that you know, although I was born in the Earl's Palace, but the people who have been in contact with me are ordinary people, and I don't want to go to see Her Majesty the queen, or for this reason, I will definitely be afraid." ”

After saying this series of words, Shen Lingyu's originally slightly gloomy eyes brightened again, and he looked at Ning Yufei with a smile: "What are you afraid of?" I can't hide from it, you will live in the imperial palace in the future, and you will be with me for a lifetime, how can you not see the queen mother? Don't worry, the mother is very good, I like you, she likes you, you don't need to worry about it at all. ”

Having said that, there is no way to shirk it, Ning Yufei can only bite the bullet and respond: "Good ......"

What a ghost! You don't have to sleep this night!

Shen Lingyu saw that he finally came down, hugged him slowly, and wanted to ask for a kiss, Ning Yufei hurriedly said: "This is outside, if it is seen by someone with a heart, it will be miserable!" ”

I have already made an appointment to meet the 'parents' together tomorrow, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has eaten candy, so I won't force him.

It's just that before leaving, I couldn't help but bite his hand lightly and heavily: "Xiaofei, I really like you, I like it anywhere." ”

What Ning Yufei saw was his pious demeanor, his heart jumped suddenly, and he didn't dare to look at him at all: "Ling, Brother Ling Yu, see you tomorrow." ”

He fled again.

After returning to the Earl's Palace, Ning Yuxiang, who got off work at night, brought back good news.

He was promoted in the House of Representatives!

Ning Yuxiang entered the House of Nobles, don't look at this name It sounds good, but in fact, as long as there are descendants with a title, they can go there, and they are a well-known casual place for idlers.

If the family is rich and powerful, and there is no need to inherit the family business, it is not bad to have a good life in the noble house. But the Ning family is already in decline, and as soon as Ning Zi'an leaves, this earl's mansion will be taken back, and Ning Yuxiang is the boss again, and he really wants to break out of the world.

It's just that his temperament is more than calm, and his courage is insufficient, and he has been in the noble council for three whole years, doing more than anyone else, but his position has not changed, so he can only do it in a hurry.

But unexpectedly, since a year ago, he began to be quite appreciated, although it was only a flat position, but the difference between the clerk of the Ministry of Rites and the clerk of the Ministry of Justice is not the same word, but heaven and earth!

One is fiddling with some cumbersome but useless family rituals all day long, and the other is the real center of power of the entire noble council, choking the legal lifeblood of the empire, can this be compared?

Unexpectedly, in less than a year, Ning Yuxiang was promoted again! Became a House Deacon of the Ministry of Justice!

This is simply great news, as soon as Ning Yuxiang came back and said it, Ning Zi'an and Yang Ruoyun were very happy.

When Ning Yu was promoted to major general, they were not so happy.

Don't look at the position of major general, but the galactic war is chaotic, almost never stopped, the soldier is the one who uses blood and life to earn military merits, and no parent will sincerely want his son to go to the battlefield.

But the House of Representatives is different, it is stable and decent, and the important thing is that you can still stay in the Imperial Capital Star, and it is the best thing not to separate flesh and blood.

The three of them were happy, but Ning Zi'an was slightly puzzled: "Ah Xiang, pay more attention, have you met a nobleman to appreciate it?" If there is, you should be grateful, and don't know if you don't know it. ”

Ning Yuxiang said: "My son understands and has inquired, but the chief only said that he saw that I was practical and careful in my work, and there happened to be a vacancy, so I was asked to be a deacon." ”

Yang Ruoyun is shrewd on weekdays, but in the end, she is a little thinner, and she doesn't know much about the twists and turns, she smiled: "You love to think about it, Ah Xiang has always been calm, this is three years of hard work!" Besides, if you really have to be appreciated by nobles, how can you not show up? Don't think so much, do things well, work steadfastly, and you will be worthy of everyone! ”

Yang Ruoyun's words were true, Ning Yuxiang nodded again and again, but Ning Zi'an twisted his eyebrows slightly, he was still a little worried...... The encounter four years ago was unforgettable, and if I remember correctly, he ......

But it may also be that he thinks too much, after so many years, it is estimated that there will be no more involvement.

said that Ning Yufei, who was standing by the door, was really in a cold sweat when he heard this......

Don't think about it at all, his eldest brother's repeated luck is definitely something that the speaker hinted at in private.

The place of the House of Nobles...... They can kick the descendants of a big family with their feet, how can they be the place where they 'break down'?

If he really can come out, Ning Yufei doesn't have to join the army!

But it's okay, although the eldest brother has a dull temperament and doesn't like to socialize with people, he is indeed very down-to-earth and careful, which is quite suitable in a department like the Ministry of Justice that requires fairness and even rigidity.

Xie Jing's arrangement is very good, it is not a blind promotion of Ning Yuxiang, but a targeted, little by little, quietly, so that people can't find any mistakes in arranging a suitable position, which is essentially creating a suitable environment for Ning Yuxiang...... It's much better than smashing headlong into a high position, and of course it's much more troublesome.

So...... He's even more guilty, okay!

What did the speaker do so much? Don't think about it at all!

But he ...... Ay!

Ning Yufei really felt that he had gone through this period of time, and sighed after more than 20 years of anger in his previous life!

I have to go to the queen tomorrow, and he hurts his head when he thinks about it.

I thought I was going to be nervous for a night, but in fact, as a man who swayed on three giant wheels every day, Ning Yufei's psychological element had already been trained to the hardness of diamonds......

Waking up and looking at the slippery face in the mirror, Ning Yufei was very unconvinced!

It must be 'Ning Yufei' who is doing it, how can he, as a coward, sleep so well? Unscientific!

In short, Ning Yufei refused to admit that he had already practiced the 'spirit' of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him without changing his face in just half a month!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to be afraid that he would regret it, and came to pick him up early in the morning.

Ning Yufei thought that he was seeing the queen anyway, but he couldn't wear it casually, so he found the major general's dress and dressed himself up seriously.

As soon as he went out, Shen Lingyu's golden eyes were bright at a glance, and the smile that shook even Chaoyang was ashamed: "It's so good-looking." ”

Ning Yufei was very embarrassed...... His body is quite attractive, but this sentence came out of Shen Lingyu's mouth...... It's not going to make people happy at all!

'Imperial Treasures' are almost blinding, who can look better than him!

Not to mention that today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wearing a prince's formal suit, a pure white dress with gold trim, a rare and expensive gemstone ornament on his chest, and a strand of gold thread hanging from his waist, which has infinitely elongated the pair of slender legs, coupled with that handsome appearance, people can't help but marvel, this is the real prince, the prince of everyone's dreams.

Standing with him, Ning Yufei was ashamed of himself before it was too late, where would he believe his sentence 'so good-looking'?

But Shen Lingyu's happiness was undisguised, he held Ning Yufei's hand and walked side by side with him, his face was radiant, with a smile on his lips, as if he had finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish, that expectation, that happiness, all of them were moving.

Ning Yufei only felt weak......

It's too empty...... The void wants to retreat!

It's a pity that the Imperial Capital Star is so big, and it is only ten minutes away from the Earl's Palace to the Imperial Palace.

Shen Lingyu walked directly to the south gate, and when he entered, he was Cangluo Palace, the queen's bedroom.

The imperial palace is not only gorgeous, but also has a heritage, along the road, the surrounding flowers, grass, scenery and things are very exquisite.

Ning Yufei cautiously followed behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Shen Lingyu looked at him from time to time to comfort him, which made him relax a lot.

Walking into Cangluo Palace, a maid went in to report, and the two entered the palace after a short time.

Not daring to look at it at all, Ning Yufei stood up straight and put his legs together, and gave a military salute: "Major General Ning Yufei of the First Combat Team of the Galaxy has seen Her Majesty the Empress!" ”

Although he was a little nervous, his voice was crisp and crisp, echoing in the gorgeous hall, and there was a bit of an outstanding atmosphere that was not arrogant, not impatient, not humble or arrogant.

The queen replied approvingly: "It's a good boy, no formality, there are no outsiders here." ”

At this time, Ning Yufei dared to look away.

The woman sitting above was not as gorgeous and unattainable as he imagined. She was wearing a plain long dress, and a light red shawl was draped over her shoulders because the weather was getting cooler, although there were not too many pendants, but the style and materials were all delicate at a glance.

Her appearance is indeed outstanding, but it is not as distant as in most images. Beauty is beautiful, but the years have also left traces between her beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and the edge has been sharpened, making her whole person look gentle and dignified, revealing a convincing temperament.

Shen Lingyu seemed to be very close to her, leaned over with a smile, and said, "Queen Mother, the son-in-law is not exaggerating, right?" Dumbo is good, right? Isn't it that people want to take home and hide it at a glance! ”

Ning Yufei's face was slightly red when he said it.

The queen smiled: "Look at your muddy appearance, you are still hiding, the dignified prince has become a little bandit for nothing!" ”

The prince laughed: "As long as you can keep him by your side, what about being a bandit?" ”

He said this a little too much, Ning Yufei couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, Shen Lingyu has always been the most polite in front of people, how can he face the queen......

But she didn't think about it, the queen didn't feel annoyed at all, she just waved her hand and said: "You don't look like a big bear, go out, I don't want to see you today, I'll talk to Xiaofei for a while." ”

Prince: "Queen Mother, Xiaofei is thin-skinned, you can ...... it"

"Okay, okay," before he could finish speaking, the queen laughed and scolded, "Your people, can I still bully you?" ”

The prince winked at Ning Yufei and said, "I'll pick you up later." ”

When he left, Ning Yufei had some ...... Although the queen looks quite kind, she ...... After all, it's not too familiar!

However......

Ten minutes later, Ning Yufei was already sitting next to the queen, without the slightest restraint, and smiled happily.

The queen is such a wonderful person! It's so much fun!

Probably seeing that Ning Yufei was very nervous, Tang Ning didn't ask too much, just chatted about a few interesting things about the prince in a relaxed and funny tone, using this as a starting point, it was easy for Ning Yufei to relax.

Later, another maid sent snacks and tea, and the delicate peach heart soft cake and sweet fruit tea instantly captured Ning Yufei.

After eating and drinking, Ning Yufei completely relaxed, and the estrangement between the two had disappeared unconsciously.

Tang Ning looked at him with a smile: "Xiao Fei, don't think too much, as long as you and Ling Yu can be happy with each other for a long time, nothing else is a problem." ”

Ning Yufei's heart trembled slightly, and he cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, I ...... with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Without waiting for him to say it, Tang Ning answered: "It's all right, he is going to ascend to the throne of God in the future, the power of coveting his partner is despicable, as for children, women don't give birth to themselves in this era, so you don't need to scruple." ”

Ning Yufei was stunned.

Unexpectedly, Tang Ning actually said something that made people stunned again: "It's okay cousin, no one will bring out those old things, nominally you are complete strangers." ”

Ning Yufei's whole person was shocked, he knew that he shouldn't mention it, but he couldn't help it: "But we are ...... after all"

"Blood?" Tang Ning smiled, staring at him with a pair of narrow eyes, "Are you worried about this?" ”

Ning Yufei couldn't even answer half a sentence.

Tang Ning picked up the teacup made of green and gold porcelain, took a slight sip and said slowly: "Why be entangled by these hardships? The prince only has you in his heart, and he only thinks about you, but the difficult thing is this affection. Even if you are from a big family, handsome, and the prince is also a real childhood sweetheart, and even married in a prosperous world blessed by all people, what is the use? His heart is not with you, and everything he does is wrong. ”

In the last sentence, her timbre obviously did not change, but it made the listener can't help but feel a shock in their hearts.

Ning Yufei couldn't help but straighten his back, and in a trance, he seemed to see a cold silence behind this noble woman.

Tang Ning raised his head, looking at him with eyes that were still gentle, but there was a trembling fierceness and pride in the depths of his light-colored pupils: "Even if you risk the disapproval of the world, as long as your love is stronger than Jin, I will definitely be able to fulfill this marriage." ”

Ning Yufei was greatly touched, and he suddenly felt a little ashamed of himself.

Tang Ning's life was completely ruined by the emperor, but her attitude towards feelings is still loyal, persistent, and even strong.

So she can't tolerate the emperor's betrayal, but she wants to fulfill the prince's affection.

She is noble and proud, but her sincerity towards her feelings is not affected by any external influence, and it is purely desirable.

It's just that...... Ning Yufei had mixed feelings in his heart, what qualifications did he have?

He himself is the kind of person that the queen hates the most, what is the difference between what he does behind his back and the ridiculous emperor?

Nearly half a month of uneasiness turned into self-loathing at this moment, and Ning Yufei almost blurted out: "Your Majesty, I ......"

Before he could say anything, the prince's voice came from far and near: "Queen Mother, should you return Xiaofei to me?" ”

After handling official business, Shen Lingyu came back from the Political Participation Palace.

Tang Ning looked at him with the connivance and love of a mother: "What is not yet returned?" I can't say anything nice, come, here are some snacks and fruit tea, let's eat some. ”

The prince sat down beside Ning Yufei very comfortably, and smiled at him so much that it was a charming soul.

Ning Yu came back to his senses violently and calmed down completely.

The prince took a sip of tea and begged Tang Ningyang: "Queen Mother, you promised me, as long as you bring Xiaofei, you will ......"

"Okay, the dignified prince still covets my little thing, are you ashamed!"

The prince smiled.

Tang Ning just ate him, she called the maid, whispered, the other party bowed and left, and then came back dragging a very gorgeous small box in her hand.

Ning Yufei glanced at it, not knowing why.

Tang Ning's narrow eyes swept the two of them playfully: "Let's go, let's go, let's go back, I'm going to rest too." ”

The prince kept staring at the box, and his golden eyes were so bright that he was ashamed of the noon sun: "Then the queen mother, you rest, Xiaofei and I will leave first, and I will accompany you another day." ”

Tang Ning waved his hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth from beginning to end, and he could see that he was in a very good mood.

Ning Yufei saluted, and when he went out, he still couldn't understand what the mother and son meant in the end.

But soon...... He knew it.

Before he could leave the palace, the prince hurriedly pulled him into a remote corner and raised his hand to open the small box.

Ning Yufei only glanced at it, and then gasped.

This...... What's so ...... It's a good appointment!

Ring! Ring!

In the small box lies a very beautiful ring, all golden, not the monotonous gold, but like full of sunshine, flowing, full of life, the blink of an eye will change another shade of beautiful gold!

What's more, it's also a gorgeous crown shape.

This......

The crown prince stared at him, and the color of his golden eyes almost blended with the ring: "This is the hot sun gold that represents the royal family, and the ring made of it is only qualified to be worn by the queen, is its color very similar to my eyes?" In fact, this ring has a very beautiful meaning: I can watch you day and night when I wear it. ”

Ning Yufei was stupid.

The crown prince had already taken out this beautiful ring, and carefully brought it to Ning Yufei's middle finger: "Xiaofei, please let me accompany you forever." ”

Ning Yufei's hand trembled slightly, and the words that came to his mouth were almost blurted out, but when he saw the longing and expectation in the prince's eyes, all the words could not be spoken.

"Brother Ling Yu......"

"Hmm."

"I ......"

"I know you can't wear it every day now, but there will be a day, trust me, okay?"

***

Saying goodbye to His Royal Highness the Prince, Ning Yufei, who returned home, collapsed.

What are three rings?

Five rings are terrible!

Now it's okay, don't worry about not being able to tell who's who is the ring, but ...... These five rings are hot potatoes! Put them together, and it can simply show a whole filthy him.

Dead dead...... He no longer has the face to slander 'Ning Yufei'.

Compared with the original owner, he is simply half a catty!

Ning Yufei mourned more than his heart died, lying on the bed and standing up.

At that moment, his communicator beeped.

Ning Yufei instinctively sat up, and An Qing's calm voice came from inside: "Major General, please go to the Marshal's Mansion tomorrow......"

What the?

He panicked for a moment, and An Qing's unfinished words pierced his ears, "...... Remember to bring your ring. ”

Ring? Ring?!

Ning Yufei looked at the five gorgeous rings, and only felt blind......
