Chapter 560: Soup kitchen
Ning Yunxiao put down the basin with rice grains in her hand, these three princesses are a little interesting, this is her father and the king of a country avoid her identity, these seven princes also avoid it, and the eldest princess has repeatedly avoided her identity as a queen. But these three princesses actually came out with this identity.
She waved her hand and said: "Identity or something is just a gimmick, I see that the people in the south of the city are really pitiful, and it is good to be able to do their part." β
"Miss Ning should be truly kind." Chu Suwan nodded thoughtfully, and then remembered something: "Look at my brain, speaking of which, your identity is different now, I shouldn't call you Miss Ning, your identity is much more noble than mine!" Saying that, she looked at Ning Yunxiao with trepidation like a little girl.
Ning Yunxiao was amused by her like this, and continued with a smile: "Don't be stuck with these, you and I are not much older than before, it's better to be commensurate like before, and it's easier." β
The third princess tilted her head, thought for a moment and seemed to accept this statement, and responded: "Okay, it seems that Miss Ning also doesn't like these cumbersome etiquettes in the palace. Hey, I really envy you for being a queen and being so comfortable. As he spoke, he puffed out his cheeks and looked unhappy.
"Envy me, I see that you are also living very freely, I can often hear others call you "Princess Xiaoyao" in your Tianrong Emperor Capital. There is the favor of the king of a country, and the love of hundreds of officials, and the people of the imperial capital are also hot. Ning Yunxiao continued to start making rice porridge while responding to the words of the third princess.
"Hey~ I'm busy! They only see the happy side of me! β
Saying this, Chu Suwen approached Ning Yunxiao and watched her make rice porridge, and her skillful technique surprised her: "Does Miss Ning cook often?" This technique is even more powerful than that of the Imperial Dining Room! β
Ning Yunxiao didn't answer, just pursed his lips and shook his head, compared to the intrigue with the eldest princess, these three princesses made themselves more comfortable talking, most of them were some small talk topics, irrelevant ones, like a curious baby.
The two chatted with each other, and the eldest princess Chu Yinyue was going to come and find that the two seemed to be talking happily, so she said coldly: "The third princess didn't forget what she came to do, don't be too busy to help and make trouble for Miss Ning." β
Chu Suwen turned to look at the eldest princess who was as cold as ice, and was a little unhappy that her topic was interrupted by her, but she still said with a hippie smile: "Eldest princess, what are you talking about, my sister saw that Miss Ning could cook porridge and felt very novel, so she looked at it for a while, and Miss Ning was not very familiar with this place, and these maids all seemed to be made of wood." I'm afraid she'll be bored, so I'll talk to her! β
Chu Yinyue glanced at her coldly, looked at Ning Yunxiao and said, "Is Miss Ning like this?" Ning Yunxiao's heart was extremely complicated, she just wanted to cook porridge quietly, how could these two girls fight against themselves, if they said that they had refuted the face of the eldest princess, the relationship would deteriorate again, if they said no, maybe they would have another enemy.
"That's it, it's true, it's so embarrassing for Miss Ning." Before she could think of how to say it, Chu Suwen seemed to understand what she was thinking, and choked on the eldest princess along the way.
"Hey, I just want to take a look, why bother, just go to the palace." As soon as Ning Suwan's words came out, Chu Yinyue's face also changed, which made people feel that they were bullying their sister and the queen of another country.
She forced a smile and said, "The third princess has misunderstood this palace, and this palace just cares." Look at what you said, if you go to your sister, it will seem very mean to this palace. Saying this, she smiled gently, the third princess still puffed out her cheeks and didn't want to pay attention to her, Chu Yinyue looked at Ning Yunxiao and said, "Since the two of you seem to be very close to each other, then the palace will not bother, but sister, don't forget to do the right thing, and help a little bit." After saying this, he left, Ning Yunxiao smiled bitterly in his heart, now that the beam is still knotted, it really can't be in contact with the people in the palace, the more contact you have, the easier it is to get into trouble.
"That's how this eldest princess is. Don't mind too much, this guy is just too hard to serve. The third princess said casually around her hair.
Ning Xinxiao thought to herself, if it weren't for you, how could she be on a par with herself, but after thinking about it, she didn't say much and continued to start making rice porridge, thinking that she could take a look around the south of the city after finishing it earlier, maybe she could find some clues and try her luck.
After all, when I came to the south of the city, I met the eldest princess and made a good start, and not everyone can meet the people of the palace casually.
And it's also a princess. With this luck, maybe you can really bump into someone from the Dark Sect.
Ning Yunxiao thought so in his heart, and the things at hand were almost busy, and said to the maid waiting for the dispatch on the side: "Look at the fire and cook slowly." The maid answered, and Ning Yunxiao saw that there was not much rice in the bucket anymore, and was ready to go and get some rice in the bucket herself.
"Miss Ning, there's something I really don't know how to say." The third princess twisted and pinched, using her fingers around the hair hanging on her chest, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.
Ning Yunxiao looked at the third princess suspiciously, not knowing what she was going to say, Chu Suwan lowered the hair in her hand that was wrapped in several circles, and said: "What happened at the banquet when the Seven Princes were canonized that day......" Chu Suxiao hesitated to speak, and Ning Yunxiao's hand holding rice also stopped, and wanted to continue digging a bowl of rice grains, and said lightly: "You mean poisoning?" Ning Yunxiao knew that the third princess would definitely talk about this, after all, her maid was the poisoner, so her third princess Chu Suwen was naturally the biggest suspect.
The third princess Chu Suwan was hesitant: "Yes...... Actually...... I don't know what to say. Ning Yunxiao glanced up at the third princess, a little unclear, and said lightly: "Feel free to say it." β
"I want to ask Miss Ning, believe me or not......" She opened her watery Danfeng eyes and looked pitiful.
At the same time, the eldest princess in the distance also noticed that over there, she looked at the third princess thoughtfully, and knew in her heart why she was pretending to be pitiful and innocent like this. Cai'er, the maid on the side, couldn't help but speak: "These three princesses are really good at winning people's hearts, one with the Seventh Prince, and one with Miss Ning, it's really tight." As the confidant of the eldest princess, she naturally pays more attention to the third princess, and in the end, in addition to hating the third princess, Cai'er more or less admires Chu Suwan's methods of winning people over.
"She's just a trick that can't be put on the table." The eldest princess snorted coldly, and didn't seem to care about how the third princess won people over.
In fact, when the people of Rong Kingdom today are electing the prince, the priority is the eldest princess and the third princess. And most of the officials are more supportive of the eldest princess, because Chu Yinyue acts steadily, is more down-to-earth, and judges everything with the most rational judgment of a superior person. Both civil and military are also well-known throughout the country.
And the reason why the third princess doesn't support so many people, most of them are because she faces everyone with an innocent and romantic attitude, although she is easy to handle in the officialdom, so that everyone likes her very much, but in the face of the overall situation, she naturally still doesn't support such a frank and lovely person to be the emperor, for fear that it won't be a big deal.
Just like the eldest princess said, although everyone likes her, if you put it on the table, it is another thing to set up a prince.
"Trust you?" Ning Yunxiao raised her eyebrows, but she didn't expect her to say this first.
"I don't know what you think about this, Miss Ning, but it really wasn't my order." Saying this, he seemed to have made up his mind, and continued: "Although she is my maid in the palace, I rarely see her, to put it mildly, how can you know that a master will use a maid who is not familiar with himself to do this kind of thing?" β
Ning Yunxiao could guess these words to some extent, and replied lightly: "But how do you want me to believe you, you can't just say it with your mouth." β
Hearing this, the third princess was also expected, she motioned to her maid Yun'er to come over, and whispered to her: "Yun'er, bring the things in the box before the palace." Yun'er was slightly stunned, glanced at Ning Yunxiao and walked to the wing, the third princess thought for a while and felt that it was too ostentatious outside, so it was better to go to the wingroom with her to see something.
Ning Yunxiao hesitated, but she did want to know what kind of medicine was sold in the third princess's gourd, and maybe she could find any clues.
When she arrived at the wing, Yun'er took out the mahogany box from the package, and Chu Suwen said while motioning for Yun'er to open it: "I later learned about the maid that was found, and I felt a little strange, so I went to find the minister who managed the matter, and I said that I wanted to check the maid, but I didn't expect to find something." Saying that, he took out a piece of jade pendant from the box, and Ning Yunxiao looked at it, but it was also an upper-middle jade, which was not a good product, and there was nothing new about it.
"Is there anything wrong with this jade pendant?" She frowned, still unable to see anything out of the ordinary.
Saying that, the third princess sighed and motioned for Yun'er to help her explain, Yun'er nodded and replied: "Miss Ning doesn't know, our Tianrong country has a rule, that is, every thing in the palace must have a mark, except for some antique decorations, jewelry or clothes involving money have something that belongs to the owner of this palace." Saying this, Ning Yunxiao took the jade pendant and began to look at it carefully, his fingers touching around the jade pendant, trying to find the mark, but he found nothing.
"Miss Ning is like me, I am also very suspicious when I get this jade pendant, trying to find a trace from it, so as to prove my innocence. only to find out that it was a foreign jade. She smiled helplessly.
"The palace marks are all marked by the jewels on the day they enter the palace, or they are made overnight according to the emperor's reward, which is also to prevent the palace from receiving them privately." Yun'er continued to add a few words.
"But apart from this jade... I found thisβ" She said and began to stumble again, taking out a handkerchief that had been placed under the jade pendant, and on top of the handkerchief was embroidered a mark.
"Why don't you tell the minister if you have the seal?" Ning Yunxiao was a little puzzled.
"Because I can't blame the person who marked it, soβ" She was halfway through her sentence when she heard footsteps in the distance.
"Why do you have to explain so much to me, it stands to reason that you can't come up with it." Ning Yunxiao felt that she wanted to use herself to check the person who marked it.
"Miss Ning, I have almost no bosom friends in this palace, originally you didn't know that you were not the queen and you were familiar with you at first sight, but now that this has happened, I only hope that I will not have a gap with you. It's really hard for us in the palace to find a friend. Saying that, he lowered his head a little sadly, and a maid of the third princess came over in the distance, knocked on the door and said, "Third princess, the eldest princess said that the porridge is ready, and I will call you to go to the soup porridge together." β
"Hongu knows." Chu Suwen was a little unhappy in her heart, after all, she had just said the point.
"In any case, I hope Miss Ning can trust me once." Saying that, Yun'er put the jade pendant and handkerchief back into the box.
When they arrived at the soup kitchen, some people were afraid that the Seventh Prince would appear again, and the eldest princess said coldly: "The third princess and the palace came in, and they also bothered Miss Ning to help with the soup kitchen." β
Ning Yunxiao understood in his heart, so he nodded and took the spoon, and the two princesses left and went directly to the Seventh Prince.
