Jiang Ning pondered for a moment, and he probably understood it in his heart.

Now it is unrealistic to find the prime minister's daughter, and now the top priority is probably to protect the safety of the prime minister's family.

After all, she is in the palace and is still Mu Jingzhao's concubine, no matter how urgent the other party is, she has to leave room for Mu Jingzhao's face.

But the prime minister's family may not know about this at all.

It's a pity to be framed for being so defenseless.

"I agree with the emperor that the real purpose of the other party in this matter should be the Prime Minister."

Jiang Qingyuan looked at Jiang Ning with a stunned expression.

"Is it a minister?"

Jiang Ning nodded.

"The other party has taken such great pains to lay down this bureau, hoping that the palace will show its feet in front of the emperor, so that the prime minister will be charged with killing the king."

Jiang Qingyuan's cloudy eyes widened suddenly, his hand holding the tea kept trembling, and the tea in the cup continued to overflow.

Jiang Qingyuan looked at Jiang Ning's calm and waveless face, exhaled lightly, he put down the teacup in his hand, raised his hand and wiped the tea on his sleeve casually.

Jiang Qingyuan: "Thank you for saving your life." ”

Jiang Ning looked up at Jiang Qingyuan groveling so in front of him, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

She is really not used to the respectful posture of others in front of her, not because of the gap between her original identity and that of the prime minister.

It's because the prime minister's age is in her place, and she is an elder-like existence.

His elders spoke to him in such a respectful tone.

This feeling really made Jiang Ning a little panicked.

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, "This itself is also to protect the palace itself, and please don't mind the Prime Minister." ”

"That"

Jiang Qingyuan seemed to want to say something, but before he opened his mouth to say three words, there was a shout of Zheliu outside the door.

"Mother, my lord, it's not too early."

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, "Please also ask the Prime Minister to be more careful." ”

Such a simple sentence made Jiang Qingyuan's yellow eyes a little more tearful.

"Thank you for your concern, and please protect yourself in everything." Jiang Qingyuan got up and bowed to Jiang Ning, "If there is any difficulty in the palace, the old man will do his best to help Niangniang." ”

Jiang Ning's nose was inexplicably sour, and he immediately got up with Jiang Qingyuan.

"If there is a chance, this palace will do its best to help the adults find Ling Qianjin."

At this point, the two of them didn't say anything more, just walked side by side towards the outside of the hall.

Just went out, Zheliu hurriedly stepped forward and took the two of them to the sedan chair that had been prepared at the gate of the palace.

The sedan chair was carried to the edge of the koi pond and fell to the ground, Jiang Ning and the prime minister walked slowly side by side towards the bridge, and Zheliu followed behind the two not far away.

"Niangniang has enough money in the palace?"

Jiang Ning nodded, "Enough, this palace has saved a lot of money these days." ”

Listening to her words, Jiang Qingyuan thought for a moment, and then chuckled.

There is the kindness and kindness that is unique to the elders in the smile.

"Niangniang's behavior in the palace has also been heard of by the old husband, Niangniang can really be called a strange woman."

Being praised like this, Jiang Ning scratched his head a little embarrassed.

She was too embarrassed to tell Jiang Qingyuan that her so-called money was actually abducted and deceived by Mu Jingzhao.

"Be careful!"

The two walked all the way to the pavilion, and Jiang Qingyuan took the lead in walking forward, helplessly, but he didn't notice the steps on the edge of the pavilion.

He tripped over the steps, stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Jiang Ning hurriedly stepped forward to help, which made Jiang Qingyuan unable to fall.

"Thank you, mother."

Jiang Ning nodded in response, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not put down the hand he was supporting.

The two walked to the center of the pavilion together, and when they passed by the crowd, Jiang Ning noticed the beautiful woman sitting in the prime minister's position with a nervous expression.

I think that is the prime minister's wife, the mother of the prime minister's daughter.

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded at the Prime Minister's wife.

"Meet the Emperor."

"Meet the emperor, the concubine has not seen her father for a long time, and she has a good conversation with her father, and I forgot the time for a while, and I ask the emperor to forgive me."

Mu Jingzhao's gaze slowly swept over the two, and he suddenly understood in his heart.

"Hurry up and be polite, Concubine Ai misses her family very much, and I naturally won't blame you for this. Take a seat. ”

Jiang Ning nodded and looked in the direction of Mu Jingzhao, only to see that Mu Jingzhao was sitting on the left and right Liu Jinfu and Shen Qingrong, only the position on Liu Jinfu's side was still empty.

She walked over to Liu Jinfu and sat down.

Liu Jinfu wore a crimson dress embroidered with white peony flowers today, and only a peacock feather hairpin was pinned to his hair.

The whole person is bright but not gaudy.

When Jiang Ning sat down, she was staring at the magnolia flowers in the vase on the table, as if thinking about something.

As soon as he saw such a bright and moving Liu Jinfu, Jiang Ning suddenly felt that his tense mood was a little relieved.

She quietly looked sideways at Liu Jinfu's beautiful side face, and inexplicably felt that she should tell Liu Jinfu how beautiful she was.

So she lowered her voice and shouted softly, "Niangniang, Niangniang!" ”

Liu Jinfu was slightly stunned, and looked sideways at Jiang Ning, looking confused.

"You're so beautiful today."

As soon as this sentence came out, Liu Jinfu laughed heartily, "You girl is really good." ”

In the main hall, Mu Jingzhao got up with a wine glass, and everyone also stood up with Mu Jingzhao.

Today, Mu Jingzhao was wearing a golden dragon robe embroidered with a dragon pattern, and his whole person was full of imperial spirit.

"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend Concubine Liu's 20th birthday banquet, I feel very honored. In addition to the concubine's birthday, there are other important meanings today. ”

Mu Jingzhao paused slightly, and the wine glass in his hand turned to the direction of Jiang Ning.

Everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Ning.

Several glances instantly fell on Jiang Ning's face, she was a little uncomfortable, but she still stood up straight, but her ears turned red at an alarming speed.

This is the first time Concubine Ning has participated in a banquet since she entered the palace. Today's banquet is a family banquet, and you are invited to feel free. ”

After Mu Jingzhao finished speaking, he drank it all with his wine glass.

Everyone in the hall also drained the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Mu Jingzhao sat down with a smile and clapped his hands, and several musicians walked into the pavilion with musical instruments and stood still in front of the rockery.

The sound of silk and bamboo flowed out from the musical instruments of the people, the music was soft and soothing, like the gurgling of spring water, and the water hit the stones and poured into the ears of everyone in the pavilion, and everyone in the hall was intoxicated and had soft expressions.

Jiang Ning looked at everyone in the hall, and saw that everyone was eating the food in front of them with their eyes down.

In the process of looking, she accidentally noticed a gaze towards her, she subconsciously turned her head to look, but saw General Liu Yue looking at Liu Jinfu beside her with anger in his eyes.
