Mrs. Xiaowei also heard the mystery, and had the intention to relieve Chu Ning, and said with a smile: "The crown princess is really joking, this Miss Su is not a member of the royal family, she saw the king, of course, she can only be honored as the king, where can you talk about any relatives?" ”

Chu Ning blinked her eyes and said innocently: "What Madam said is not right, if I call Madame Sister, I will call Wang ......" She raised her face and looked at King Qi, "Of course I want to call Brother-in-law." A brother-in-law is very vaguely praising King Qi's treasure knife for not getting old.

King Qi was stunned for a moment, and laughed out loud: "Interesting! It's so much fun! He turned his head to Su Yu and said, "Su Qing don't stay there, this child has a straightforward temperament, don't restrain her too much after you go back, this is the widow's will!" ”

Su Yu and Princess Ankang could only respond with a stupid "yes" and return to their seats.

King Qi turned to Su Sirong again and said, "In the future, if you have time to ask this child to walk around the palace, An'er's sullen temper should also be changed." ”

With a decent smile on his face, Su Sirong got up and replied: "What the king said is, speaking of which, when we were in the boudoir in the past, our sisters' relationship was also very good, but after the child was born, I have never had much chance to meet with Tianxin's sister mother and daughter, and I have long wanted to ask the king for a will to see them. ”

Su Sirong's son Jiang Cheng'an also stood up and bowed to King Qi in reply, but he still didn't speak.

Chu Ning glanced at the mother and son, I didn't see them come to help her out just now, this will be warm, but Gongzi An didn't speak on several occasions when she should have spoken, she was a little strange what the reason was.

After some laughter, the atmosphere in the Wuji Hall became more and more cheerful. An internal official came to King Qi's ear and asked if he wanted to pass on dance music to help the fun.

Before King Qi could speak, the crown princess Xue Yiyi had already stood up, walked to the middle of the hall and knelt down: "Today is my father's birthday banquet, my sister and a few girls of the same age have long wanted to prepare a special birthday gift for my father, they privately begged me to get an idea, I allowed them to rehearse some singing and dancing to help the fun, compared to the court musicians and dancers, naturally inferior, but it is rare to have a heart, so I asked my father to give permission and let them add some fun to the birthday banquet, okay?" ”

Xue Yiyi's voice is gentle and generous, and she is not as impulsive as her sister who is a fellow mother, and King Qi is obviously very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, and her attitude is also very lenient: "The widow has long felt that the dance music rehearsed by the musicians in the palace is too stereotypical and boring. Since you have a heart, you don't need to pass on the dance music in the palace today. ”

Xue Yiyi waved lightly to the female guests, and Gu Caiwei stood up first, took out a pair of bronze short swords, and wanted to do a sword dance.

Chu Ning knew in his heart that these young ladies were taking the opportunity to show themselves, after all, in addition to the crown prince, King Qi had several sons who did not marry his wife, and secondly, they came to accompany Xue Niannian. The Xue family has always had high hopes for Xue Niannian, hoping that she can successfully pass the selection of the Lingque Terrace and become the inner priest in charge of the nobles' secrets in the palace.

The inner priest has a non-negligible influence on the royal family, from building palaces, arranging sacrifices, down to naming princes and grandchildren, and even when and where the king wants to summon which concubine, you must first listen to the meaning of the inner priest. If the inner priest insisted that something was ominous, even the king of Eastern Qi could not insist on going his own way.

Chu Ning was not particularly interested in singing and dancing music, and seeing that the atmosphere in the palace was harmonious, he quietly got up and left the table and walked along the path in the palace. The guards in the palace of the Eastern Qi Dynasty only patrol but do not guard regularly, because there are prohibitions on each door, and they cannot be opened without specially issued spells.

On the path leading to the Queen Mother's bedchamber, Chu Ning put his hand on the protruding beast ring. The music of the Wuji Hall was faintly heard in the distance, and it was obvious that the hall was drunk, and she took a deep breath, bit her fingers, and dripped blood on the beast ring.

The beast ring, which was originally immovable, slowly began to shake and loosen after absorbing that drop of blood, like an invisible hand, quickly dismantling the delicate structure, and the ring made of gold was pulled out of the beast's mouth, and the entire beast head fell to the ground without making any sound, and then quickly dispersed into dozens of small and delicate parts, which were spliced together by a lock master who was proficient in magic, and became the sealing and forbidden part of the door.

Chu Ning looked at the parts that fell to the ground in silence, she had already noticed that she was different from others, but she couldn't tell what was different. Until Ming instantly asked her for blood to nourish herself, a little light seemed to suddenly appear in the fog in her mind, and her blood had a special effect.

At this time, in the Eastern Qi Forbidden Palace, she verified her conjecture, but it brought more doubts. She wanted to know what had happened to her mother and herself.

She was just about to step forward when a yin and yang strange female voice came from the other side of the wall: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this thing is broken, the maid has no way to deal with it, you are a nobleman, the maid has no idea, what do you think?" ”

Chu Ning turned his head to look at the past, feeling a little strange in his heart, it stands to reason that King Qi's children should all attend the birthday banquet in Wuji Hall today, how can there be a princess here? Listening to the slave's voice, it was not at all polite to her.
