Chapter 124: Encountering Danger
It is said that the people of Xidan are fierce, because they grow on the prairie, and both women and men are very brave there.
This is different from Chen Guo.
The Chen Kingdom respects men, and although the Xidan Kingdom also respects men, the women of the nobility are different, but no man dares to look down on them if they are brave and brave women.
The envoys of the Western Dan Kingdom arrived in the afternoon to the Kyoto City of the Chen Kingdom, and as soon as they arrived in the Kyoto City, they were greeted by people from the palace and entered the palace.
At this hour, Ning Qingyue had already returned to King Mu's mansion, although she had also heard that the time of the Xidan Kingdom had arrived, she did not go out to take a look, anyway, she could still see it at the evening banquet.
However, Ning Qingyue can only take what Li Song said about harmony in her heart.
The emperor intends to let him marry the princess of the Xidan Kingdom, so where is this to put her, the princess Mu?
The princess of Xidan Kingdom has a noble status, although Chen Guo does not have any royal children who marry foreign princesses as his wife, but the emperor's meaning, Ning Qingyue also understands a rough idea, at least this princess of Xidan Kingdom will not be a wife when she marries back, but also to be a side concubine.
Ning Qingyue didn't have any plans to compete today, after all, there were so many ladies in the palace, if she really wanted to dress up, wouldn't she offend her mothers-in-law?
After thinking about it, Ning Qingyue still adopted a conservative dress today, not ostentatious or mediocre, just to make people look comfortable.
In the afternoon, because of the visit of the envoys of the Xidan Kingdom, Li Song went to the palace again, and there was no letter back this afternoon, but the princess's mansion sent a message over.
"Tell my aunt that the concubine already knows about the relationship!" Ning Qingyue looked at Rupan and smiled gently.
Rupan said with a stern expression: "The princess said, please ask the princess to take precautions, the princess of the Xidan Kingdom is not a good stubble, and the princess who can be sent to kiss will not be the favored princess of the Xidan Kingdom, and Prince Mu does not have to fight for this harmony." ”
Ning Qingyue smiled and nodded: "The prince mentioned this matter to the concubine early in the morning, you go back and tell your aunt to tell your aunt to rest assured, the prince has no intention of marrying this princess of the Xidan Kingdom, even if the emperor asks him to marry, he will not marry." ”
Ru Pan was surprised: "But what the princess is afraid of is the emperor's ......"
Ning Qingyue said again: "What kind of character the prince is, my aunt must have known it a long time ago, as long as it is something he doesn't want to do, even if the emperor puts a knife on his neck, it is impossible for him to marry the princess of the Xidan Kingdom." ”
At that moment, Rupan smiled and said: "What the princess said is that with your words, the slave will go back to tell the princess." ”
Seeing that the sun was gradually darkening, Ning Qingyue was going to enter the palace at night, and it was almost time to set off at this hour.
Li Song never came back from the palace, but he sent his guard Zhou Da to rush back to pick up Ning Qingyue.
Ning Qingyue picked out a light cyan dress, and rushed over to the palace in the carriage of King Mu's mansion without making a more solemn dress.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, it happened to meet the carriage of the Chengwang Mansion.
King Li Lin, like the emperor's eldest grandson Li Jinze, has not returned to the house since he entered the palace, so naturally he does not have to return to the house at this time.
After getting out of the carriage, Ning Qingyue saw Princess Cheng, although she had some disgrace in her heart, she politely walked over and greeted Princess Cheng.
"Sister-in-law." Ning Qingyue's eyebrows and eyes were full of gentle smiles.
Princess Cheng smiled and nodded, and Ning Shuangshuang on the side also gave Ning Qingyue a look: "Sister." ”
The palace had already sent a palace maid to wait at the gate of the palace, so several people walked into the palace together.
Along the way, several people chatted about gossip, and then heard Princess Cheng smile and said: "I heard that this time the Xidan Kingdom intends to make peace with our country, and the princess of the Xidan Kingdom has a noble status after all, so she naturally wants to choose a husband among the royal children." ”
Ning Qingyue smiled: "Yes, I don't know which prince that princess will fall in love with." ”
Princess Cheng said again: "I heard that the emperor intends to make Prince Mu reconcile with the princess of the Xidan Kingdom, I don't know if my younger brothers and sisters have heard of it." ”
Ning Shuangshuang on the side almost subconsciously asked, "Prince Mu wants to marry the princess of the Xidan Kingdom?" ”
As soon as she asked, she felt that she was asking too quickly, what does the matter of Prince Mu have to do with her? What's in a hurry?
Princess Cheng only asked like this when she was her daughter-in-law, but Ning Qingyue glanced at Ning Shuangshuang intentionally or unintentionally, she already knew in her heart that Ning Shuangshuang had some meaning to Li Song before she got married, but she didn't expect that she would marry Li Jinze, but she didn't expect that she still remembered him in her heart.
Ning Qingyue said with a smile: "This matter is not clear to the concubine, but it is almost clear, we will go to the banquet together later, and we will almost understand." ”
Ning Shuangshuang followed Princess Cheng's side, her head bowed, her face was red, remembering her recklessness just now, she was afraid that her mother-in-law would be suspicious, she secretly raised her eyes to peek at Princess Cheng's face, and saw that Princess Cheng did not have any doubts, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, she felt Ning Qingyue's gaze, she subconsciously looked towards Ning Qingyue, and seeing the smile in her eyes, Ning Shuangshuang's expression suddenly froze, and she lowered her head weakly.
Seeing her like this, Ning Qingyue was in a good mood and was ready to deliberately tease her, so she asked abruptly: "But listening to my sister's tone just now, you are quite concerned about whether the prince of my family is going to marry the princess of the Xidan Kingdom!" ”
As soon as Ning Shuangshuang's heart was put down, she suddenly hung up again.
Princess Cheng subconsciously glanced at Ning Shuangshuang, and Ning Shuangshuang's face immediately turned red.
"I ...... I...... Prince Mu is my sister's father-in-law, I'm worried that if the prince marries the princess of the Xidan Kingdom, how will my sister deal with herself? ”
Ning Shuangshuang's words were answered beautifully.
Everyone knows that the princess of Xidan Kingdom has a noble status, even if she marries back to be a side concubine, but she is different from ordinary side concubines, I am afraid that she has no ability, and she will not be able to control her.
At that moment, Ning Qingyue looked at Ning Shuangshuang with a smile and said, "Who said that my prince is really going to this princess of the Xidan Kingdom?" There are many royal children, there is a king in the past, there is a king in the back, and there are some children of the side branches, of course, the identity of the emperor's eldest grandson is also extremely noble, and the age is afraid that it is also equivalent to the princess of the Xidan Kingdom who came to kiss, maybe in the end it is not my prince who married this princess, but His Royal Highness the eldest grandson of the emperor! ”
Ning Qingyue's words mentioned Li Lin and Li Jinze, and in an instant, the faces of Princess Cheng and Ning Shuangshuang turned pale.
Although it is common for this man to have three wives and four concubines, what woman in the world wants her husband to have so many beautiful flowers by her side?
The three of them were led to the main hall of the banquet by the palace maid as they walked, Ning Qingyue swept around, and soon found Li Song's figure.
At this time, everyone has not yet arrived, especially the ladies in the harem, none of them want to come early, everyone wants to appear in the finale, and the eyes are overwhelming.
Ning Qingyue walked to Li Song's side, and the smile on her face did not diminish.
If you want to ask her if she is worried about whether the emperor wants to point out the princess of the Xidan Kingdom to Li Song, she is really not worried.
Perhaps this is the trust she and Li Song have in each other after they have a heart-to-heart relationship.
If Ning Qingyue was worried about this princess of the Xidan Kingdom, then there were so many female dependents in the backyard of King Mu's mansion, wouldn't she be unable to sleep and eat every day?
Her hand was placed under the table, but Li Song suddenly secretly held her hand and gave her a reassuring look.
At that moment, Ning Qingyue smiled gently: "It's okay, I believe you." ”
In fact, it is a very simple sentence, but Li Song's heart is warm.
There has never been a woman who can make his heart no longer tolerate anyone.
Ning Qingyue knew what he was worried about, obviously he was comforting her, but it turned out that she was comforting her.
Li Song smiled dumbly: "It turns out that I have been worried for a day." ”
However, at this moment, a palace maid walked to Ning Qingyue's side and whispered: "Princess, the queen's makeup is a little spent, I want to ask the slave maid to come over and ask you to come over and help her make up her makeup." ”
Speaking of which, the queen's makeup was put on earlier, and she should have accompanied the emperor to meet the envoys of the Xidan Kingdom in the afternoon, and it was not surprising that the makeup was worn at this time.
Ning Qingyue glanced at Li Song: "I'll come when I go." ”
Li Song smiled: "Go ahead." ”
As soon as Ning Qingyue left on the front foot, Li Song on the back foot instructed Zhou Da: "Arrange someone to follow the princess, don't lose it!" ”
Zhou Da nodded solemnly: "Yes, Lord Wang." ”
Ning Qingyue followed the palace maid all the way to the middle palace, but it was not the first time she had gone back to the queen's palace, and she couldn't help but ask, "This is not the way to the queen's mother's middle palace?" ”
The palace maid's expression changed, but she smiled again: "Niangniang, after she met with the envoys of the Xidan Kingdom in the afternoon, she did not return to the middle palace, and the princess just left with the slaves." ”
Ning Qingyue always felt that something was not quite right in her heart, and she followed the palace maid while saying, "This concubine has taught the palace maid in Niangniang's palace to make up for Niangniang's makeup, why did Niangniang send someone to invite this concubine over?" ”
The palace maid smiled wryly: "How can the makeup that the palace maid make up for the mother can be compared with the makeup on the princess, the princess also knows that many ladies in the harem are present tonight, if the makeup of the queen can't even compare with the makeup of ordinary concubines, then how much of a loss of identity!" ”
However, it was these words that Ning Qingyue realized that something was wrong, and she had told the queen earlier that the queen did not have to compare with the concubines, and the queen also agreed very much......
Ning Qingyue glanced around, only to find that there was no figure around.
She quietly stepped back, but she didn't want the palace maid to be very alert, and immediately discovered her intentions.
Immediately, the palace maid sneered at Ning Qingyue and said, "Princess Mu should go with the slave maid......
As the palace maid spoke, she took out a packet of psychedelic medicine from her sleeve and gently sprinkled it in front of Ning Qingyue's eyes, and Ning Qingyue fainted.
