Volume 2 Young and Youthful Chapter 60 The Secrets of the Palace

"Miss Ning, you have to be careful when you speak—"

Ning Wan listened to the waiter's words, and only felt that her head was buzzing and hurting.

The folk jokes that are popular all over the streets and alleys are written as lovers of His Majesty and Princess Zhenli in their previous lives!

What kind of lingering and touching story...... Nothing short of nonsense!

Although anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is just a conversation for the people to pass the time after tea and dinner, it has still become a thorn in Ning Wan's heart - after all, the relationship between her and Princess Zhenli is not pleasant.

Maybe it's more than just plain unpleasantness...... Ning Wan inevitably remembered what she said, "Don't you have a mother", and she felt a little weak.

The first emperor and the Empress Dowager Zhao died one after another, and the two biological brothers were exiled to Beiyuan City, and Princess Zhenli's mood must have been extremely bad.

And he offended her at that time.

If His Majesty didn't care about her, with Ning Wan's background and reliance, he wouldn't be very afraid of her...... However, His Majesty just cares about her very much and values her, and loves this half-sister who is his half-sister very much, and even the Empress Dowager Zhao said to her, "Don't provoke the Canglan Palace, don't provoke Zhenli." ”

Zhen Li, Zhen Li, is it really cherished?

Isn't the nonsense in the gossip book groundless?

Ning Wan almost didn't dare to think about it anymore, and forcibly persuaded herself - His Majesty was just kind to her because he pitied her for being hit one after another, not to mention that she was the only princess in the thirty-eighth generation, so she should not be treated lightly.

That's it, looking at this princess Zhenli, she shouldn't look like a scheming person, and I will try my best not to conflict with her again...... If they really can't avoid it, looking at the face of Empress Dowager Zhao and their father, they can't be too embarrassed.

"Miss Ning—"

"Huh?" She was pondering how to live in peace with the Canglan Palace, but her thoughts were interrupted by the voice of the attendant, and she suddenly had some doubts.

"Miss Ning, the Xingfei Hall has arrived—please get off the sedan chair."

"Oh, good." Ning Wan woke up like a dream, and at this time, the sedan chair had been put down steadily.

Li Zhu stepped forward to open the sedan curtain for her and helped her get off the sedan chair.

The outer gate of the palace is tall and magnificent, reflecting the sunlight that is not strong in winter, but it is all golden.

This is the Xingfei Temple.

But will this be where you'll be living forever? Ning Wan had no bottom in her heart at all - she just saw the young emperor from a distance at the state banquet of the succession ceremony, and she didn't have the appearance of a depressed prince like when the first emperor was alive, as if she was a new child, plus he was already a little

The natural gas quality that is not angry and self-assured, and the appropriate response between gestures, the whole person is simply dazzling and fascinates her.

Perhaps, there is no woman in the world who will not be happy with a man like him.

Ning Wan clenched the silk in her hand, and slowly stepped into the Xingfei Hall with the support of Li Zhu.

Xinglin Fangfei - worthy of the palace specially built by the 37th emperor for the Empress Dowager Zhao, even if it has long been gone, it still maintains the style of the time.

The view is still a snow-capped palace, and the road that has been swept out is particularly clear against the background of the snow.

"Please Miss Ning come with the minions." The waiter bent over, respectfully led the way in front, and led her all the way into the main hall, and the warm and fragrant aroma of the first hall was particularly intoxicating on this cold winter day.

"This is Xingfei Palace." Ning Wan blinked, immediately put all the previous messy thoughts behind her, reached out and stroked the mandarin duck cross-neck incense burner in the hall, and felt the uneven touch coming from the palm of her hand - it was the relief carving on it, and when she touched it, she knew that it was made by craftsmen who had spent a lot of effort to make it.

This is just an incense burner in the hall, and there are such mysteries hidden secretly, which shows how the Empress Dowager Zhao favored the six palaces and the scenery was infinite.

"This Xingfei Hall is so big—Miss!" Li Zhu's eyes were full of reflections on the scene in the hall, and he was almost about to cheer out excitedly, "I'm afraid there are not many palaces in this palace that can compare with here!" Miss, Empress Dowager Zhao is so good to you! ”

There are few palaces that compare to here?

The emperor's Yiyuan Hall and the queen's Zhaoyang Hall are naturally incomparable, but what about the Canglan Palace?

For some reason, Luo Liyao's face suddenly appeared in Ning Wan's mind, obviously too indifferent, but she had a beauty that could capture people's hearts with a casual glance, compared to the young emperor, it was actually a little similar.

"Miss!" It was Li Zhu's hand shaking lightly in front of her eyes, and Ning Wan hurriedly came back to her senses, saying in her heart that she was too easily distracted today - I am afraid that it was not because she was very anxious when she entered the palace.

Ning Wan grabbed her hand that was shaking lightly in front of her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"This father-in-law is talking to you." Li Zhu stuck out her tongue, turned her head and smiled, "I'm sorry, father-in-law, please say it again!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Ning Wan raised her eyes and saw that it was a waiter wearing a dark red python robe, standing there lightly, smiling, "Please also ask Miss Ning to listen to the minion's nagging, there is still time to watch the Xingfei Hall in the future!" ”

It should be a waiter with a bit of status. Ning Wan thought to herself.

But so what, isn't he also a minion?

Thinking of this, she didn't say anything more.

"Well, you name it." She nodded slightly, and it was right

It is the square posture of everyone's ladies.

The attendant's brows furrowed imperceptibly, and then he smiled: "The slave is Cheng Kangping, the head of the Internal Affairs Department, and now there are one hundred and twenty-seven show girls who have entered the palace, and you happen to be the one hundred and twenty-eighth - and the most special one." ”

The corners of Ning Wan's eyes twitched, but she faintly had a bad feeling: "......"

Needless to say, as soon as I entered the palace, I entered the Xingfei Hall of the Empress Dowager Zhao, and I still lived alone, which shows that it is special.

This not only gave her a big face, but also put her on the cusp, and forced her to hug the two sheltered trees of Empress Dowager Zhao and the Ning family.

"Long before Miss Ning entered the palace, Empress Dowager Zhao took charge of all these things in the palace, if Miss Ning still lacked something, she could send the people around her to the Internal Affairs Department to say something." Cheng Kangping's face was still the same slight smile, and Ning Wan was a little stunned when he smiled, "It's just that Princess Zhenli has instructed that since she is a show girl, she must abide by the rules of a show girl...... The rest of the show girls will all enter the palace after three days. Five days later, Miss Ning was also asked to go to the Teaching Department on time every day to receive the teachings of the grandmothers and learn the etiquette of the palace - if one of the 'poems, books and rituals' could not pass, then it would have no chance to be selected. ”

Ning Wan frowned, silently calculating the days in her heart.

"Look at what the slave said, but he was worried in vain...... Miss Ning is the pearl of Ning Xiang's palm, so naturally everything stands out, don't worry, don't worry. Cheng Kangping patted his face lightly, bent down and smiled, "But there is one more thing, the slave must remind Miss Ning-"

"What?" Ning Wan looked up at him and asked.

"There are a lot of rules in this palace, and Miss Ning will definitely not be able to learn it for a while, so the slave will make a long story short-" Cheng Kangping took a few steps forward and approached her, but she unconsciously retreated, and a disgusted expression appeared on her face for a short time.

Yes, disgusted.

Outside the palace, there are no attendants (eunuchs) in the mansion of the high gate, they are all hired long-term workers or small servants who have sold themselves.

Ning Wan looked down on such a person who would rather cut off his foundation and serve in the palace from the bottom of her heart, and she felt very disgusting just thinking about it.

Cheng Kangping saw her movements, but he still maintained a just right smile, only slowly stopped his steps, and persuaded: "There are many places in this palace that cannot be visited, such as Your Majesty's Yiyuan Palace, Zhaoyang Hall and Fangfei Palace. Even if it is the Yide Hall of Empress Dowager Zhao, she can't go until Miss Ning is summoned. ”

"I know that Yiyuan Hall can't go easily, but isn't this Zhaoyang Hall and Fangfei Hall empty, and they can't even go?" Ning Wan's carefully depicted brow furrowed even deeper, "And...... If I want to say hello to the Queen Mother, I can't go directly to Yide Palace? ”

"Yes." Speaking of this, the smile on Cheng Kangping's face seemed to be a little deeper, and he said unhurriedly, "Miss Ning needs to know that in this palace, there are rules in the palace, although many of these rules are unwritten......"

"Your Highness, can we really make Miss Ning realize her situation through Cheng Kangping's mouth like this?" Bang Yue sent away the people from the Internal Affairs Bureau, with a puzzled expression, but Luo Liyao was still looking at the book calmly, looking like "the sky has nothing to do with me".

"Ning Wan is proud, not stupid." Luo Liyao didn't even take her eyes off the book in her hand, "She herself is just a righteous daughter, and she has no blood relationship with Ning Zhongji, if she makes any mistakes in the palace, I'm afraid the first person to kill her is Ning Zhongji." ”

"This ...... No, the slave maid heard that Miss Ning is in the Ning Mansion, and she is very happy with Ning! ”

"How much thought does Fei Ningzhong have to be good to her? It's just a matter of raising someone who can be used in the future. Luo Liyao still didn't look up, "Moreover, if Zhao Tianyuan and Ning Zhong really wanted to lift her, they wouldn't let her enter the Xingfei Palace." ”

"What does that mean?" Bang Yue approached her, pulled her sleeve and asked curiously, "Your Highness, tell me about it." ”

"You're curious about what this is for?" Luo Liyao closed the book and nodded her forehead, "The tea is a little cold, go change it." ”

"Okay." Bang Yue pursed her lips and hurriedly took the teacup and retreated.

Luo Liyao rubbed her somewhat sore forehead, and pulled out a few secret reports that had just been sandwiched between the pages of the book by herself-

Ning Xiang often went in and out of the Yide Palace, and the Empress Dowager Zhao retreated left and right, and the two were alone for a long time.

Empress Dowager Zhao lived in a simple house, and her eating habits suddenly changed greatly, and she often asked private doctors for diagnosis and treatment.

Ning Xiang and Empress Dowager Zhao are suspected of having a personal affair, and they have even secretly married each other.

Suspected of having a personal affair -

Dark bead ......

Luo Liyao could hardly believe her eyes, and looked at them carefully a few more times before throwing them into the charcoal basin of the stove and destroying them.

When the queen mother had an affair with the prime minister, this was a secret story of the palace that the folk books did not dare to write at will.
