Ning Zhiwen walked forward according to the Queen Mother's words, and then knelt on the ground and bowed down and said: "Ning Zhiyun, the courtier's left prime minister's mansion, participates in the Queen Mother's mother, and the Queen Mother's mother is safe." ”

"You are a good boy with a heart, come and let the mourning family take a good look at you."

Ning Zhixuan walked to the side of the Queen Mother as she said, and looked at the Queen Mother in front of her with a gentle smile.

"How old are you?"

"The courtier's daughter is sixteen years old this year." Ning Zhiyun is now sixteen years old, and she has reversed her fate in just over a year.

The Queen Mother asked again: "Can there be a marriage match?" ”

"The eldest sister hasn't left the cabinet yet, so the family hasn't chosen a family for the courtiers."

The Queen Mother looked at Ning Zhiwen and smiled kindly: "Your eldest sister has already decided on someone." As he spoke, he looked at Shangguan Qingyu who was standing on the side and said, "Qing'er is so blessed, your eldest sister is both talented and beautiful, and it is a match made in heaven with Qing'er." ”

Shangguan Qingqiao stepped forward and bowed his hand to the Queen Mother: "Everything that my grandson has gained is given by the emperor's grandmother and father. ”

"The imperial grandmother only cares about the second lady, and she doesn't care about Xin'er anymore." Shangguan Yunxin was afraid that the Queen Mother would be involved in Ning Zhixuan's marriage again, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Doesn't the imperial grandmother care about Xin'er anymore?" ”

"Anyway, Xin'er should also be a gift at the beginning of spring next year." The Empress Dowager said with a smile in her eyes, "The emperor should also worry about Xin'er's marriage next year, and he must choose a wishful husband for Xin'er." ”

"Imperial grandmother, Xin'er is not in a hurry to find any wishful husband!" In front of Ning Zhiyun and Shangguan Qingyi, the Queen Mother teased to find Ruyi Langjun, Shangguan Yunxin only felt so ashamed that his face was red, and he hurriedly covered his cheeks with his hands.

Ning Zhixin couldn't help but chuckle when she heard the words "Ruyi Langjun", if it could really be as the Queen Mother said, it would really be the blessing of the Ninth Princess, but Shangguan Yunxin was the most favored princess of Emperor Qi, and the only princess who happened to be married.

The Queen Mother talked and laughed with Ning Zhixuan and Shangguan Yunxin for a while, until she was a little tired, and then asked everyone to retreat.

After leaving the main hall, the ninth princess wanted to go to the small kitchen to make her favorite yam cake for the queen mother, so she asked Ning Zhiwen if she wanted to go with her, but Ning Zhiwen refused because she was tired and wanted to go to the side hall to rest.

After separating from the Ninth Princess, Ning Zhixuan did not go to the side hall to rest, but went directly out of Shoukang Palace.

As soon as Ning Zhixuan walked out of Shoukang Palace, she heard Shangguan Qingyun's voice behind her: "This king has something to look for you." ”

Shangguan Qingyun's voice fell, and he performed light skills and jumped onto the beam, Ning Zhiyun followed him all the way, and finally the two of them landed in front of the middle gate of the highest Linyue Pavilion in the palace.

"At the beginning, this king agreed to cooperate with you because of your ability, but in the past few months, you are now struggling and taking care of yourself, so this king naturally wants to reconsider whether to cooperate with you?" Shangguan Qingyun had obviously lost patience with Ning Zhixuan, who had accidents one after another.

Ning Zhiyun had to admit that a lot of unexpected things had happened recently, and she had been depressed for those who felt sorry for herself, but the people around her could understand her, but it didn't mean that Shangguan Qingyu, an ally, would be considerate of her.

"The little girl does have some things to deal with recently, but the little girl has not forgotten to cooperate with His Highness for a moment." Ning Zhiwen was thinking about how to explain to Shangguan Qingyun, an ally, in the past few days, and he had already come to the door.

"You are not worthy to cooperate with this king." Shangguan Qingqiao put down this sentence and turned to leave.

"Your Highness, do you think Ning Banghua is worthy of cooperating with you, or is the Bai clan worthy of cooperating with you?" Ning Zhixuan saw that Shangguan Qingqiao did not slow down at all, and said hurriedly, "The Bai clan is just relying on the Xiao clan, and the clear-eyed people look at the infinite scenery of the Bai clan, but in fact, if they leave the Xiao clan, the Bai clan will be difficult to support alone." ”

Shangguan Qingyun's pace slowed down slightly, and Ning Zhixuan took the opportunity to say again: "The Bai family is just a puppet in the hands of the imperial concubine, but the Bai family wants to use Ning Banghua's chess piece to gain a real place in the imperial family. ”

Imperial Concubine Xiao Wenyuan's father is the commander of the second grade, but Bai Jingyan's father is just General Ning Yuan of the fifth grade, succumbing to General Xiao, all these years Bai's favor has to rely on General Xiao's support, as the so-called Xiao He chased Han Xin under the moon, and Xiao He defeated Xiao He.

"Your Highness, just think about how the Bai clan is willing to keep relying on people, so this is why all the bets are placed on Ning Banghua." Ning Zhixuan saw that Shangguan Qingqiao did not interrupt herself, so she continued, "They think that Ning Banghua is both talented and beautiful, and will definitely be able to win the favor of Your Highness, if Ning Banghua can give birth to a prince for Your Highness in the future, then the child will be the candidate for the future monarchs, so that the Bai family can surpass the status of the Xiao family in one fell swoop because of this child." ”

"The Bai family also underestimates the imperial concubine too much?" The corners of Shangguan Qingqiao's lips hooked up a cruel smile, which seemed to indicate the tragic end of the Bai clan.

In fact, Ning Zhiyun has always had a doubt in her heart, that doubt was originally just her intuition, and she shouldn't be in a hurry to tell Shangguan Qingyun at this moment, but now that Shangguan Qingyun wants to terminate her cooperation with her, she can only let it go.

"Your Highness may think that the Bai clan is not self-sufficient, but the little girl thinks that maybe the Bai clan has snooped on some secret?" Ning Zhixuan decided to open up and reveal the suspicions in her heart to Shangguan Qingyu, "I don't know if Your Highness can remember that the little girl said that she had guessed that you and the imperial concubine were faintly discordant." ”

Ning Zhiyun clearly saw Shangguan Qingyun's fingers trembling imperceptibly after hearing her words, and then she clenched her fists and asked, "Tell me about your plans?" ”

Ning Zhixuan suppressed the suspicion in her heart and continued: "The Bai clan wants to take advantage of your discord with the concubine, and then use Ning Banghua's beauty and the future little prince to bind you. Ning Zhiyun said, with a murderous flash in her eyes: "The Bai clan wants to use you, why don't you take advantage of the situation to cause infighting between the Xiao clan and the Bai clan." ”

"Seeing that you look confident, have you already thought of any good ideas?"

"It's not so much that the biggest bargaining chip in the hands of the Bai clan is Ning Banghua, but rather the child born in Ning Banghua's future womb." Ning Zhixuan saw that Shangguan Qingyun seemed to be interested in what she said, so she continued: "Your Highness, do you think that if the Imperial Concubine Niangniang ruined Ning Wanhua's chance to give birth to a child with His Royal Highness, would the Bai family turn against the Xiao family because all the schemes fell short?" ”

As the saying goes, rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention the Bai family who will put all the glory on Ning Banghua in the future, if the imperial concubine allows Ning Banghua to marry into Prince Heng's mansion but does not allow her to give birth to a child, the Bai family will definitely not be good with the imperial concubine.

"This king just said that the imperial concubine is not a stupid person, so naturally she will not attack Ning Wanran easily." Shangguan Qingyu continued, "Moreover, the imperial concubine probably wants to use this child to contain the Bai family, how could she lift a stone to shoot herself in the foot. ”

"The imperial concubine may indeed want Ning Banghua to give birth to a son-in-law, and then use this child to contain the Bai family, but whether this child can be blessed to be born in this world depends on Ning Banghua's ability."

Although the imperial concubine promised Ning Banghua the position of concubine in order to envelop and appease the Bai family, and because she didn't want to tear her face with the Bai family, she acquiesced to Ning Banghua's future birth of a concubine, but if Ning Banghua can't fight but Ning Zhixuan can't conceive a concubine, then she is unwilling to do anything with the imperial concubine, that is, there is no reason to break the sky and force the cow to press her head without drinking water.

"You mean you want me to convince the concubine to welcome you into the palace?" Shangguan Qingyun looked at Ning Zhiyun with some uncertainty, and at this moment, he was also a little unsure what kind of plan Ning Zhixuan had in his heart?

"In the future, it is a strategy to use Ning Banghua's children to contain the Bai family, so the courtiers expect that the imperial concubine will refuse to enter the palace with the little girl who is not on good terms with Ning Banghua."

"Your Highness should know that all the plans are not in the woman, but in the child, if the little girl also enters the palace, if the prince treats the little girl with grace, if the little girl is lucky enough to conceive the prince's child, then the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion will still be your greatest help."

Ning Zhixuan knew that now the Bai family had already thought about it, that is, the food was tasteless, and it was a pity to abandon it. And the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Ning Fanzhi's prestige in the court is what Shangguan Qingyu needs, and Ning Fanzhi is only a civil official no matter how popular he is above the court, no more than the Bai clan trying to replace the Xiao family and becoming the second clan to try to contain the emperor's power with military merits.

"You just said that children are the key to planning."

Shangguan Qingyun's meaning Ning Zhiyun understood that if Ning Zhiyun really gave birth to a child in the future, Zuo Xiangfu would inevitably not have the wrong idea because of this child.

"Your Highness is far-sighted, and the little girl still understands how to prevent trouble." Ning Zhixuan said that she looked at Shangguan Qingyun, and swore three fingers to the sky, "The little girl swears in the name of her deceased mother, the little girl and the prince only cooperate, and the little girl will only have the name of husband and wife when she enters the palace of Prince Heng and the prince, and there will be no husband and wife." Otherwise, the deceased mother will not be at peace under the Nine Springs. ”

Shangguan Qingqiao was shocked when he saw Ning Zhiyun make a poisonous oath with his dead mother, and he also guessed in his heart that if Ning Zhixuan didn't want to be rich in the world, then what would she want?

"You give everything to help this king, don't ask for the name of the queen, let alone share the world with this king in the future, what are you trying to do?"

Ning Zhixuan knew that if she didn't give Shangguan Qingqiao a convincing answer today, she would definitely not be able to fully gain Shangguan Qingyun's trust, so she had to say truthfully: "The little girl is planning the destruction of the Bai clan. ”

"You want to overthrow the Bai clan?" Shangguan Qingqiao felt that this answer was a little unexpected, "Just because the Bai family and Ning Banghua wanted to put you to death several times?" ”

What Ning Zhiyun thought in her heart was that she would not let go of any of the Bai clan and the imperial concubine, but now she couldn't be sure to what extent Shangguan Qingqiao and the imperial concubine's mother and son were not on good terms, she could only speculate on the mother-son lineage according to common sense, and Shangguan Qingqiao would not kill the imperial concubine.

"What if it's the hatred of destroying the door?" Ning Zhiyun looked at Shangguan Qingyun's eyes, but she didn't deliberately hide the monstrous hatred.

"The hatred of destroying the door?" Shangguan Qingqiao chewed Ning Zhiyun's words, and with a sudden shock in his heart, he thought of the Taifu Mansion extermination case more than ten years ago.

From Shangguan Qingyun's reaction, Ning Zhixuan saw that he must have guessed the Taifu Mansion extermination case more than ten years ago, and then said: "Your Highness can trust the little girl now?" ”

"This king is waiting for your good news, and this king hopes that this time you will say more than empty words." Shangguan Qingqiao paused and still asked, "Since you gave up everything for revenge, why do you still want to protect your innocence?" ”

Ning Zhixuan clearly said that children are the key to seeking power, but in fact, she didn't want to have a husband and wife with Shangguan Qingyu.

"Because the little girl already has someone she admires in her heart, although the little girl is destined to have no chance with him in this life for various reasons, the little girl has already decided in her heart that he is the most important person in the little girl's life."
