Nine bends and eighteen bends, Your Excellency the Pavilion Tower.

Several women were laughing as they fiddled with their hands.

"Xiyue, how about you look at my embroidery?"

Zheng Zelan handed over the embroidery in his hand and asked softly.

Zheng Zelan attaches great importance to this Queen Mother's birthday ceremony, and her family has been cultivating her talent for more than half a year, in order to get ahead in the palace, this time, it is a good opportunity from God.

Ning Xiyue nodded: "The embroidery is very beautiful, Miss Zheng, if anyone marries a gentle woman like you in the future, it will really be a happy death." ”

Zheng Zelan is so gentle and generous, Ning Xiyue really can't figure it out, such a woman will marry a man who is dozens of years older than her and can be her father in the near future.

Such a simple and kind woman, but she will soon be integrated into this complex and dark harem dispute, Ning Xiyue's mood is very complicated.

Seeing that Ning Xiyue's face was a little wrong, Zheng Zelan couldn't help but say, "Xiyue, what's wrong with you?" Sick? ”

"Nope."

Frowning, Ning Xiyue looked around carefully, and it was rare to straighten her face: "Miss Zheng, you are a kind woman, remember, you must keep your original intention, don't be confused by something." ”

"Xiyue, what's wrong with you, why are you saying such strange things?"

Zheng Zelan's eyes were full of puzzlement, didn't Ning Xiyue want to make herself the crown princess? Why?

The crown prince is heroic and tall, and being the crown princess has no harm to their family, on the contrary, this is what the family expects of her, and she must complete it.

Looking at Zheng Zelan's extraordinarily firm gaze, Ning Xiyue frowned and said softly, "It's nothing." ”

Everyone has their own path, and it is impossible for her to change the fate of others, she can only hope that Zheng Zelan will be good in the future.

"By the way, the Queen Mother's birthday gift, you are still thinking about it!"

Zheng Zelan smiled embarrassedly: "After all, it's too chilling to send pastries." ”

"Well, okay, I'll consider sending a few one." Ning Xiyue said softly.

Zheng Zelan smiled faintly, and just as she was about to speak, she heard a gasping voice beside her: "Look, that's the emperor, let's go and salute." ”

Immediately afterwards, a group of people all ran to salute, Zheng Zelan frowned, and also pulled Ning Xiyue forward together.

"Courtiers and others see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Get up!"

Except for Ning Xiyue, Feng Cheng didn't have the slightest good impression of this group of women who took the initiative to show affection, but when he inadvertently swept over the piece of embroidery, his expression paused slightly, and he looked up......

It was a delicate and beautiful face, dignified and elegant, exuding a gentle and clean atmosphere.

Such women are becoming less and less common in the palace, and I don't know how much better than those women who only know how to quarrel by unscrupulous means.

Maybe Feng Cheng's gaze was too strong, even Ning Xiyue on the side could clearly feel the desire in that look, she lowered her eyes slightly, I don't know, being remembered by the emperor, is it Zheng Zelan's luck or misfortune?

"Your Majesty......" Chang Hai, the chief eunuch, reminded softly: "There are still ministers waiting for you!" ”

Alas, does the emperor have a crush on Miss Zheng, and I don't know what kind of concubine he wants to seal.

Feng Cheng withdrew his gaze and nodded.

After Feng Cheng left, everyone stood up, Zheng Zelan held Ning Xiyue's hand tightly, her eyes were full of nervousness: "Xiyue, this is the first time I have seen the emperor, I am going to die of nervousness, but I didn't expect that he is still quite kind." ”

"Nervous?" Ning Xiyue raised her eyebrows slightly: "What are you nervous about?" ”

Zheng Zelan looked around cautiously, and then leaned on Ning Xiyue's ear and said softly: "Didn't the emperor deal with a lot of ministers these days, and the entire court became nervous, I thought the emperor was a more irritable person, so I was quite curious." ”

"Oh, I see."

Ning Xiyue nodded cooperatively, but didn't say anything.

too in the womb.

"What did you say?"

Feng Yici slapped the table and scolded angrily: "How can it be impossible to find out at all, Ning Xiyue has not had any contact with Feng Huayin for more than ten years, so why is it that after Feng Huayin came back, the two of them have a good relationship, as if they have known each other for many years?" ”

This night, he thought about many things before and after, and felt more and more that the relationship between Ning Xiyue and Feng Huayin was more than that simple.

But after investigation, it was found that in the past ten years, Ning Xiyue and Feng Huayin had no connection in the slightest, and the number of times Ning Xiyue went out of the General's Mansion was counted on one hand, which made Feng Yici unbelievable.

"Could it be that I really suspect that I was wrong and wronged Ning Xiyue?" Feng Yici frowned, and muttered softly: "Then how to explain the leakage of the treasure location this time?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

The secret guard who came to report reminded in a low voice: "Today, two more ministers have been disposed of by the emperor, should we do something?" ”

"The only thing left to do now is to act like an ostrich and pretend that you don't know anything."

Laughing at himself, Feng Yici said coldly: "After the Queen Mother's birthday, this crisis will be completely over." ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince."

……

In the next few days, the entire palace was preparing for the Queen Mother's birthday, but no one knew what was hidden in that mind.

The Queen Mother's birthday finally arrived in this inexplicable anticipation, and the whole palace reverberated with melodious music, and everyone had a hypocritical smile on their faces.

In the Bibo Garden.

Jin Xi pointed to the large and small gift boxes on the ground, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, these are all birthday gifts from the daughters of various families, and there are a lot of ingenuity in them!" ”

"Then open it and take a look." The Queen Mother waved her hand gently, but she was not very interested in these gifts.

Jinxi nodded, first picked up a square box, opened it gently, and suddenly revealed a calligraphy and painting inside.

"It seems that it is some kind of master's calligraphy and painting."

Shaking his head, Jinxi opened the second box, as soon as he opened it, there was a burst of dazzling light inside, and when he looked at it, it was an extremely beautiful deep-sea pearl, just looking at it, he knew that it was expensive.

"O these people! It's all here to flatter. With a sneer, the Queen Mother continued: "What did the daughter of the Ning family give?" ”

Hearing this, Jinxi immediately opened Ning Xiyue's birthday gift box, looked at the contents inside, and was slightly stunned: "Chopsticks? ”

Moreover, it is still a pair of very ordinary chopsticks, which is simple and can not be compared with what the Queen Mother usually uses.

"Take it over to the mourning family."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Jinxi stretched out his hand and handed over the gift box, surprised in his heart, it was rare to see what the Queen Mother really wanted to see, but she didn't expect to be so anxious today.

Isn't it, this pair of chopsticks is not ordinary?

The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and took out the chopsticks in the gift box and looked at it carefully: "This is no different from ordinary wooden chopsticks, but there seems to be a silver ring inlaid on it, which seems to be a little out of place." ”

Casually put his fingers on the top of the chopsticks, and at this moment, the chopsticks, which were originally ordinary to the extreme, suddenly changed a little, and from the center of the chopsticks, half a silver thin needle extended.

Jin Xi was secretly shocked and sighed: "This is a pair of anti-poison silver chopsticks, and it is really ingenious to be able to do this." ”

"Hmm."

The Queen Mother nodded, and her old eyes changed between clarity and turbidity.
