The study fell silent in an instant.

Ning Lie locked Ning Xi's gaze and said, "As a member of the Ning family, you enjoy everything given by the Ning family, so you should be cautious in your words and deeds for the glory of the Ning family." ”

"What you did today is you rebelling against the revenge of the family?"

Ning Xi looked him in the eye, "Father, if you think that I am doing this to take revenge on the family, then you have completely misunderstood. ”

"After all, we are all members of the Ning family, how can the people of the Ning family do things that are at a loss?"

"We know each other well, don't we?"

"Otherwise, my mother would not have been killed by you with an arrow on the city wall."

Ning Lie's pupils suddenly constricted.

His mind flashed with the voice and smile of his deceased wife.

Ning Xi ignored him and continued: "Don't mention the old things, I don't agree with the family affairs with the Fourth Highness, I have thought it through, the Fourth Highness has long intended someone, even if I marry the Four Princes' Mansion, I won't have a good life." ”

"As a shrewd Ning family, isn't it strange that I want to push off this family business?"

Ning Lie frowned and said solemnly: "This matter has been decided, how can it be child's play, and I will mention it again in the future." ”

"Father, then I'll just inform you." Before Ning Xi brushed his sleeves and left, he said indifferently: "If you force me, maybe something irreparable will happen." ”

Ning Xi left the study, and a hurried figure stopped her in the corridor.

She looked at her brother who was blocking the way, and she didn't learn half a point from his mother in terms of words and looks.

Stepmother Liang is a scheming woman, but unfortunately she gave birth to a son who is in love with brains.

"Don't go, aren't you pestering the Fourth Highness all day long, and you have to be the princess of the Fourth Highness to death? Why did you suddenly change your tune? Ning Bairong asked puzzled.

Ning Xi clasped his hands in front of him and looked at him lightly, "Is this strange?" He doesn't like me, and I have to catch up, huh? ”

"Isn't the most important thing that you are not qualified to dictate this matter?"

"I don't have a brother like you."

Ning Bairong bowed his head slightly, as if he knew that there was something wrong with his move.

But he immediately burst out laughing, "You don't think you're trying to play a trick on your desires, are you?" ”

Ning Xi pointed at him, "You're not qualified to laugh. ”

"It's the same father, you should always think about my feelings, right? Knowing that His Royal Highness is entangled with other women, you still want to push me into the fire pit. ”

Ning Bairong was puzzled, "Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines?" And he's still a prince. ”

Ning Xi was already very patient with him at this time, and thought about it for a while: "If you marry Guo Zhi and Guo Zhi doesn't let you take a concubine, what will you do?" ”

"I have enough Zhi'er alone, so naturally I won't take a concubine." Ning Bairong spoke as a matter of course.

Ning Xi glanced at the double-standard dog, "Good dogs don't get in the way, get out of the way." ”

There's nothing to talk about with this kind of person, let him continue to be the heroine's cannon fodder male partner, and he will know what reality is after a little hardship.

……

After Ning Xi confessed to Ning Lie, her whole mood relaxed a lot, and she knew very well that Ning Lie would never agree to her acting so willfully.

But it can be seen from the increase in grandmothers around him.

She threw the embroidery on the table, rubbed her sleepy eyes and half lay on the couch, listening to the rustle of bamboo blown by the wind outside the window.

I don't know if the queen received any news, so she was summoned to the palace for an audience within a few days.

Ning Xi didn't have to guess to know that this matter must be related to Qin Rui.

The palace maid led her to Weiyang Palace, and Ning Xi bowed and saluted, "I've seen the queen mother." ”

Empress Chen motioned for her to sit down and said straight to the point: "I summoned you here today, and I have nothing to do, I just want to chat with you." ”

Ning Xi sat down, and did not try his best to please Qin Rui's queen mother as usual.

Anyway, this kind of thankless work is done by whoever likes to do it.

Seeing Ning Xi sitting uncharacteristically, like a piece of wood, Empress Chen couldn't help but think of the spies' reply.

Does she really want to put off this marriage?

So, she spoke tentatively.

"I heard that Rui'er is a little close to a palace maid in the Queen Mother's palace?"

"Do you know her?"

Ning Xi listened to it and felt that this queen was really good at pretending, didn't she know better than herself in the harem?

Acting is, who wouldn't

"You're talking about Guo Zhi?"

"I heard that she grew up with His Royal Highness the Fourth since she was a child, a childhood sweetheart, and her relationship is not bad."

Empress Chen opened and closed the teacup and said leisurely: "It seems that the Queen Mother spoiled them." ”

Ning Xi was silent, the queen in front of her seemed to be a kind mother at this time, who knows how she went all the way from a little Jieyu to the back seat.

Just when she was out of her mind, she was pulled back by Queen Chen's words.

"Pingyang, do you care about that little palace maid?"

Ning Xi, "I don't care. ”

Why care?

The love and affection of the male and female protagonists does not prevent her from helping the original owner to take revenge.

"Very well, come here." Empress Chen beckoned to her.

"Pingyang, you are the county lord, you don't need to care about a little palace maid."

"What's more, the status that a man can bring to you is more important than all the love of a man."

Empress Chen's intimate words did not go to Ning Xi's heart.

It doesn't matter if you go to him.

She will never be able to accept a husband with three wives and four concubines, and she will not be blessed with Queen Chen's work of taking care of the three palaces and six courtyards.

But in the imperial city, she still knows how to talk nonsense.

"The queen has learned a lesson."

Empress Chen patted the back of Ning Xi's hand with a loving face, "Don't worry, when you become the fourth princess, your good fortune is still to come." ”

Hehe, does the queen mean that Qin Rui can become the crown prince, or even the new emperor?

It's a pity that she will become the biggest obstacle on Qin Rui's road.

Seeing that Ning Xi was silent, Empress Chen continued to whisper: "Your child will be the son-in-law and the only heir. The other women in the house have to listen to you, you know? ”

"This kind of honor is not something that everyone is fortunate enough to receive."

Ning Xi blinked, Empress Chen had a good way, not only painted her a big cake, but also secretly threatened her.

thought that there was no other way out for herself except to marry her son.

What's so great about Qin Rui, a mom treasure man.

Let him kowtow and call himself the imperial aunt another day!

Ning Xi had nothing to talk about with Empress Chen, and she was instilled with the pedantic idea of three obedience and four virtues as soon as she came, and she was afraid that she would not be able to control her mood if she stayed any longer, so she left the palace early.

When passing by the corridor of Weiyang Palace and Cining Palace, where the Queen Mother was located, a figure suddenly bumped into him from the side.

As soon as Ning Xi dodged, the person who came fell to the ground and screamed in pain.

"Ahh

Ning Xi frowned when he saw Guo Zhi who fell to the ground, "Why are you walking recklessly?" ”

If it was an ordinary palace maid, I don't know how many times I would have died.

But people still think that the reckless heroine is cute

Guo Zhi raised her head and raised a strong smile at Ning Xi, "County Lord, I just wanted to come over and salute you." ”
