"Yes." Mei Shaoyu admitted, "But I want to be a colt, not to dominate the world, I just want to find a strong backer for the Mei family, and the eldest princess needs a colt to compete for the throne, so we take what we need." ”

Ning Yunxiao was somewhat unconvinced, "You really don't have the slightest idea of dominating the world?" ”

Mei Shaoyu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "That kind of thought, I'm afraid that any man will have it, but I know that I am not that material." I'm just a businessman, I only know how to do business, and there are always things I don't understand if I just want to get my hands dirty. ”

For this explanation, Ning Yunxiao believed it.

It happened that at this time, the father-in-law came out and announced that the emperor had summoned him, so the two stopped discussing and went in together.

"I heard that Gongzi Mei saved the Seventh Prince before entering the palace, but is there such a thing?" As soon as he stood up after saluting, the emperor asked.

Mei Shaoyu was expected to be asked about this, and said lightly: "The mount was frightened and ran wildly, and it happened to catch the fallen His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, if you want to take a credit for me just because of this, it is really deserved." ”

Mei Shaoyu glanced at Ning Yunxiao beside him, and said with a smile, "If you really want to reward merit and deeds, you should also reward the owner of that horse, and that horse is Miss Ning's." ”

"What Mei Gongzi said is very true." Shi Shiran, the Seventh Prince who had already packed up, walked out and laughed, "I really, I should thank that horse, after all, it was it that caught me." ”

Regarding the fact that his son, who had just taken back to the palace to restore his identity, actually wanted to thank a brute, the old emperor was not angry, but laughed, "What I said is that the seventh prince should indeed thank that horse!" ”

Ning Yunxiao is fun to watch, this father and son sing and harmonize, but they erase their kindness to save people at will, and it also makes you unable to get angry at all, it's just clever! However, she is not a saint, and she has no intention of saving people, so she ......

"The Seventh Prince's status is precious, how can he thank a brute? Isn't that self-deprecating? Ning Yunxiao looked at the Seventh Prince with a smile, with an expression of "What can you do with me", "In the end, this beast is also mine, and His Royal Highness should thank me for his own identity, for the sake of His Highness's reputation, I am willing to sacrifice it." ”

When the Seventh Prince heard this, he didn't continue to entangle, Ning Yunxiao's words were so straightforward, if he continued to insist, wouldn't it be a disregard for the country's prestige and imperial power?

What's more, he is just an illegitimate prince who has just recovered his identity, and he still has a lot to do, and there must be no humiliating identity now.

"Yes, I was reckless." The Seventh Prince saluted, which was regarded as gratitude, but his attitude was not very eager, "But the girl is so bold, it's not simple." ”

Ning Yunxiao said generously: "I don't have any identity in a small family, and I am used to being informal, if there is anything wrong, please forgive me!" ”

"That's it!" The emperor's voice was a little angry, the majesty of the Ninety-Five Venerable could not be ignored, after a sound, all were silent, and after glancing around, his eyes fell on the two people standing side by side, "Although the two of them were born in the rivers and lakes, they are now based in the temple after all. Since you have come with the princess, let us sit down together. ”

"Yes." The two responded, and immediately a little eunuch came over to set up additional seats for the two.

The emperor quietly watched Mei Shaoyu sit down, his demeanor was elegant, and his smile was like jade. Looking at the eldest princess who had been watching all this without saying a word, she only felt more and more appreciative of this prospective son-in-law.

However, when he noticed that Mei Shaoyu's gaze had been paying attention to Ning Yunxiao on the side, he couldn't help frowning.

"Although I haven't walked the rivers and lakes, there have been rumors recently, and I still know a little about it." The emperor looked at Mei Shaoyu, "I heard that Mei Gongzi and Miss Ning have been hunted down and killed several times along the way, I don't know what the reason is for this?" ”

There was no shortage of people in the main hall who were suspicious of Ning Yunxiao, so they couldn't help but set their eyes on Ning Yunxiao. The Mei family is in business, it is a famous family, and it will not be provoked by the small night, and I have not heard of an accident when going to business for many years, otherwise how dare the Mei family let the young master go back and forth between the two places alone?

Feeling the deliberate gaze gathered on his body, Ning Yunxiao smiled and said, "It turns out that I came to extract a confession today." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent.

After a long time, someone got up to break the silence, "Miss Ning is really mysterious, Mei Gongzi is so entertaining, it has caused everyone to talk about it, the emperor just asked casually, if the girl is inconvenient to answer, bluntly ask for guilt, this word 'forced confession' is too painful, right?" ”

Ning Yunxiao raised his eyes and looked, the man was sitting behind the eldest princess, and at a glance he knew that it was the eldest princess's person, so he was not polite: "After all, I saved Mei Gongzi's life, and I want to come to Tianrong Country to play, and Mei Gongzi will take a little bit of revenge, why has it become so complicated?" Now the emperor directly asked me if the several pursuits on the road were all because of me, to be honest, I was confused, but if I said I didn't know, would you believe it? If I say I know, then I am deceiving the king again, how can I answer? ”

The emperor clenched his hands under his robe, and no one had dared to be so bold since he ascended the throne. What's more, it's the seemingly weak little girl in front of her!

"I'm just saying it casually, the girl can't help but think too much!" The emperor expressed his extreme displeasure.

Mei Shaoyu stood up and said, "Miss Ning doesn't understand the rules, she collided with the emperor, and I ask the emperor to forgive me!" ”

The third princess also got up and said after seeing the situation: "Yes, father, after all, people are not from the palace, how can they be so comprehensive?" My father has always been generous, so why bother with her. Before Miss Ning came today, she was worried that she would collide with the emperor and didn't dare to come, but it took her a long time to persuade her to agree to enter the palace with Mei Gongzi, and the emperor was more tolerant and didn't worry about her. ”

She is a serious princess, and now she stands up, hits the nail on the head in a few words, maintains the respect of the Son of Heaven, and provokes the eldest princess who has been watching the play by the way.

The behavior of the third princess made the emperor feel a lot more comfortable, and today was just to see what kind of person the eldest princess had chosen, so why bother holding on to the rules endlessly?

"Or the third princess is the most heartfelt, both civil and military are exquisite, if it is a man, he must be the pillar of the country......" The emperor praised with a smile, and looked at the eldest princess and the seventh prince meaningfully, "Your second brother is the most capable one, but he has been in poor health, and he was completely gone last month, hey, in the end, he is not blessed, sitting on the world, it's just that, I am tired today, let's retreat." ”

A few people got up and were about to leave, but the emperor seemed to suddenly remember, and added: "Mei Gongzi is both civil and military, and the eldest princess is very compatible, I intend to marry you, but I don't want you to know anything about it, since Mei Gongzi has entered the palace today, let the princess take it and take a good look at the imperial garden." ”

When the afterglow swept to Ning Yunxiao, she saw her bowing her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking, and her heart suddenly moved, "Since Miss Ning is a distinguished guest of Mei Gongzi, she must have something extraordinary, so she and the third princess will go to greet the queen together." ”

Ning Yunxiao raised his head when he heard this, and said lightly: "Thank you for the emperor's love, but I'm afraid of losing the rules, so I'm still ......."

"I let you go, I won't be strict with your courtesy, go, the third princess likes you very much, so you can go with the third princess." Ning Yunxiao still wanted to excuse herself, but the third princess quietly tugged at the corner of her clothes and shook her head gently, so she responded.

After leaving the main hall, the third princess took her to meet the queen, and then took her to another place under the pretext.

"Miss Ning, do you want to listen to me about the eldest princess?" The third princess suddenly asked.

Ning Yunxiao didn't know what she meant, but she remembered what Mei Shaoyu had told her earlier about the confrontation between her and the eldest princess, so she still nodded.

So the third princess was introduced.

The eldest princess is the queen's biological daughter, and she has been fostered in the home of Lin Zhongshu, a member of the dynasty, since she was a child, and she is the most favored pearl in her hand.

"She is both civil and military, and often disguises herself as a man to go out of the palace to play, but every time her father knows, he won't blame her. My father always said that if she was a man, then the great country would be entrusted. The third princess's voice was a little lonely.

Ning Yunxiao somewhat understood, Mei Shaoyu didn't say it explicitly before, but it was not for nothing that everyone was talking about letting the eldest princess replace the sick second prince as the prince. The identity and ability of the eldest princess are enough to inherit the unification, but it is still the same sentence, but it is a pity that she is a woman.

Since men are inferior to women, if the eldest princess wants to inherit the throne, she must marry a person who is capable enough and powerful to block the mouth of Youyou, otherwise I am afraid that there is little hope, at least, since the emperor has not established a prince, and he also took the illegitimate child of the people back to be named the seventh prince, which can be seen.

"Actually, I don't want to fight with my eldest sister, but I can't help myself and I have to fight." The third princess saw Ning Yunxiao thinking deeply, and thought she didn't understand, "It's me who is abrupt, you are not from the royal family, you probably can't understand it." But I don't know who to tell me, these words of mine, if they are spread out, it will be inappropriate, today I see Mei Gongzi take you into the palace, I want to talk to you, anyway, you are not involved in our dispute, and you will not harm me. ”

Ning Yunxiao suddenly felt a little sympathetic to this young man who was younger than herself, but she had taken on so many children, and wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say.

She came to Tianrong Kingdom to find her daughter, and her identity must not be revealed, so she can't say anything.

"Actually, you can tell your mother that there is no mother in the world who doesn't love her daughter." Thinking of her Ruoxi, Ning Yunxiao still persuaded her.

But the third princess shook her head slowly, "Sister, you don't understand. My mother is the one who cares most about my struggle for the crown, and has been contacting the ministers to pave the way for me, how can I bear to tell her my true thoughts? I don't want to hurt anyone, so I can only pretend to be-for-tat with my eldest sister, just to reassure my mother. ”

Ning Yunxiao didn't know what to say for a while, she always felt that today seemed to be saying a lot of mistakes, on the premise of not revealing her identity, she was just an ordinary person who didn't know each other, she didn't understand the royal battle, didn't understand the harem fight, and didn't understand the misfortune of being in the royal family......

Although she also hoped that she really didn't understand this, it was a pity that it backfired.

"After that, if you are really tired, come to Meifu to find me, I will stay in Tianrong Country for a while, you can come to me at any time to talk to me, although it can't help you anything, but at least it will be better to say it." Ning Yunxiao said sincerely.
