Chapter 406: The Empress's Hint

Although she looked very indifferent on the surface, she was still a little frightened in her heart, after all, she was far away from the familiar general's mansion and came to this strange palace. Just when Jing Ning was upset, the queen came, and Jing Ning hurriedly saluted the queen.

"No need to be polite, can you still get used to it here? What's missing? The queen had a smile on her face, but that smile made Jing Ning feel cold.

"Queen Xie cares, everything is fine."

The queen nodded, she waved her hand lightly, and the craftsmen brought up the plates of exquisite pastries. The pastries are beautifully shaped, and the smell is extremely sweet, even a little greasy. Jing Ning looked at the queen, a little nervous in her heart.

"I don't know what flavor you like, so this palace has ordered someone to prepare some, you can taste it quickly." The queen smiled enthusiastically, and Jing Ning was furious in her heart. But since the queen has spoken, it is inconvenient for her to refuse. I don't think the queen will poison the pastry, right?

Jing Ning hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up a piece of hibiscus cake, put it in his mouth, and took a small bite.

"How does it taste?" The queen asked.

"Aromatic, excellent." Jing Ning smiled faintly, and the vigilance in his heart slowly lowered a little.

The queen raised her eyebrows when she heard this, the smile on her lips was a little weird, and she said softly: "Since this is the case, then let's eat all of these." ”

The smile on Jing Ning's face froze, all of these have been eaten? She glanced at the queen to make sure she wasn't joking. Seeing Jing Ning's hesitant face, the queen said in a cold tone: "What, the young lady is unwilling?" Or does the young lady feel that with the status of today's general's mansion, she can already go against the wishes of the palace? ”

Jing Ning hurriedly shook her head when she heard this, she took a deep breath and ate it piece by piece, Wen Xing on the side was anxious and wanted to dissuade her, but was stopped by Jing Ning with her eyes. She barely swallowed the pastry in her mouth, her throat getting more and more dry.

Seeing this, the queen poured a cup of tea for Jing Ning with her own hands, and Jing Ning hurriedly took it and drank it, because she was in a hurry and almost choked.

"Although the pastry tastes great, you will get tired of eating it all the time, right? Bengong guessed that the young lady didn't want to eat a piece of pastry at this time, right? The queen looked at Jing Ning with a smile and poured her another cup of tea.

Jing Ning coughed lightly, and did not answer the queen's words, she faintly guessed a little bit of the queen's thoughts.

"What about you, young lady, it's like these pastries, what about Yashan, it's like this cup of tea, if General Xiao eats too many pastries, he also needs tea to moisten his throat, this palace is all about, young lady should think about it." The queen stood up, looked at Jing Ning condescendingly, and turned around and walked away as soon as the words fell.

Jing Ning finally eased up, she stared coldly at the direction of the queen's departure, and clenched her fists tightly. Sure enough, the queen is so embarrassed about herself for Cai Yashan's affairs, but what is the relationship between the queen and Cai Yashan? I don't think the two of them seem to have any connection, huh?

Jing Ning frowned, feeling more and more that this matter was not simple. Wen Xing on the side didn't care about that much, she gently patted Jing Ning's back with red eyes to help her calm down.

"The queen is really too much, miss, why don't we go and beg the emperor, let's go back to the general's mansion, otherwise if it's like this every day, who can stand it!"

Jing Ning sighed, since she is here, she wants to prevent the disaster for the general's mansion, if she leaves at this time, I am afraid that the emperor will be dissatisfied.

"It's okay, it's just a snack." Jing Ning said as she looked at the snacks on the table, she frowned, her face was a little pale, obviously tired of it.

"Take it and pour it out." Jing Ning turned his head and waved his hand at Wen Xing.

"The dim sum given by the queen's mother, it doesn't seem like it's good to pour it out like this, right?" A female voice sounded, and Jing Ning raised her eyes to see that it was Cai Yashan, who was dressed in blue.

Cai Yashan still has a faint scar on her forehead, obviously she couldn't hit it that day. Seeing Jing Ning looking over, Cai Yashan showed a bright smile, but there was no smile in her eyes.

"Why is Miss Cai here?" Although Jing Ning was bored in his heart, he still got up patiently and smiled.

"Naturally, I'm here to visit you, the young lady." Cai Yashan spit out these words from his mouth with great force, and there was a bit of hatred in his eyes when he looked at Jing Ning.

Jing Ning was shocked, if it was a grudge, she also knew why, but why did she have such hatred?

"I've visited at this time, but Miss Cai is leaving?" Jing Ning faintly felt that there was something she didn't know, she picked up the teacup, and the meaning of sending off the guest was very obvious.

Cai Yashan didn't seem to be able to see it, she sat down in front of Jing Ning, picked up a piece of hibiscus cake and ate it, Jing Ning frowned when she saw this, and said in a deep voice: "If Miss Cai likes it, you can go to the queen's palace to eat." ”

Cai Yashan chuckled and said: "You don't have to test me like this, I will tell you directly that the queen mother is my aunt, and she changed her surname when she was a child when she was married to the Li family." ”

Seeing that Jing Ning didn't speak, Cai Yashan showed a little smug on her face, she paused and continued: "Why do you think the emperor will announce you to the palace?" It's not just to contain the General's Mansion. ”

Jing Ning's heart jumped, could it be that he wanted to torture himself? Just because he refused to reconcile with Xiao Rin? Jing Ning looked at Cai Yashan coldly.

"Miss Cai, twisted melons are not sweet, you understand this truth, right? Even if you torture me with the queen mother, you won't be able to enter the door of the general's mansion. ”

Cai Yashan's expression distorted when she heard this, and a mocking smile rose on her lips.

"Do you think I'm doing this to you just to marry into the General's Mansion? Oh, do you really don't know or pretend not to know! ”

Jing Ning's brows furrowed a little tighter, looking at Cai Yashan's appearance, could it be that it was not for this matter? But apart from this, I don't have any grudges against her.

Seeing Jing Ning's confused face, the expression on Cai Yashan's face became even more ugly.

"You humiliated my father in the palace that day, and after that day, my father became seriously ill, and you caused my family to lose face, and my father was bedridden, Zheng Jingning, you should tell me, how should I ask you for this account?" Cai Yashan said that he took the teacup on the side of the breath, and raised his hand to splash it at Jing Ning.

Jing Ning quickly stretched out his hand and opened the teacup in Cai Yashan's hand, the teacup shattered into pieces on the ground, and Cai Yashan's gaze at Jing Ning was very terrifying.

"You dare to hit me? Don't you feel empty-hearted? Oh, Zheng Jingning, you are really thick-skinned! Cai Yashan gritted her teeth when she said this, and her originally delicate face looked particularly hideous and distorted. Jing Ning looked at Cai Yashan speechlessly, a little confused about her thoughts.

She was thick-skinned when she avoided that cup of tea? What kind of logic is this?
