The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 164
The new moon was in the sky, and the Milky Way could be seen. When the carriage brought Qin Wan back to the palace, it was getting late.

Feeling a little guilty, she came to Ning Yi's study and saw Liuying was about to bring tea in.

"Why did you bring him tea so late, why don't you change it to a cup of hot milk." Qin Wan said to Liuying.

Liu Ying nodded and turned to leave, but Qin Wan held her back: "Forget it, I'll get it, you just go and rest."

Qin Wan went to the small kitchen, took out a porcelain cup, poured milk in it, heated it until it was palatable, and brought it to Ning Yi's study.

Ning Yi saw her coming back and saw the milk she put on the table, and said with a smile, "After drinking this, today's memorial may have to be delayed until tomorrow."

"Tomorrow will be tomorrow, and we are not in a hurry to deal with everything. If we can delay it, we will delay it." Qin Wan handed the milk to Ning Yi, "Drink it, go to bed early."

Ning Yi couldn't refuse, and obediently drank the whole cup under Qin Wan's gaze.

Ning Yi put the cup aside and said "Thank you" softly.

Qin Wan put away the cup, nodded and prepared to leave.

Ning Yi lowered his head and continued to read his memorial.

Qin Wan took a deep breath, put the cup on the table, turned to the back of Ning Yi's chair, hugged Ning Yi from behind, and put his chin on his shoulder.

Ning Yi was a little surprised, put down the memorial, held her hand and asked, "What's the matter? Are you unhappy going to the palace today?"

Qin Wan shook her head: "It's nothing, everything is fine, I just miss you a little bit."

Saying that, Qin Wan let go of Ning Yi and stood up straight again: "Okay, I'm going to wash up and go to bed, and you must go to bed early too."

"Okay." Ning Yi agreed.

……

Cold City, Situ Mansion.

Ning Xi walked into the gate with her skirt in her hand, and Situ Xinghe was standing in front of the gate to welcome her.

"Welcome back, Xiaoxi, have you had dinner yet?" Situ Xinghe asked gently.

Ning Xi nodded: "Used it, what about Xinghe?"

Situ Xinghe shook his head: "I've been waiting for you, so not yet."

"Then I'll have some food with you." Ning Xi walked to Situ Xinghe's side, took his arm, and walked to the table with him.

The two of them sat down facing each other, Situ Xinghe took Ning Xi's hand and said, "How is your day? Did it go well?"

"Well, I think Qin Wan and Xiao Xian had a good chat, maybe there's something interesting about it." Ning Xi smiled, "Xiao Xian rarely uses his fairy power on others, but today he directly made Qin Wan cry, Looking at his appearance, he feels distressed and guilty, I think they have something to do."

"Did Qin Wan find out?" Situ Xinghe asked.

Ning Xi thought for a while: "Probably not, I didn't tell Qin Wan that Xiao Xian can guide and control other people's emotions, so she probably didn't realize it. But Xiao Xian used too much force today, which directly made Qin Wan lose control of her emotions. I didn't expect that. He might want to help her get out of the knot as soon as possible, because Xiaoxian is the kind of person who doesn't want others to be hurt because of him. Qin Wan's previous suicide made him feel indebted all the time."

Situ Xinghe smiled: "Xiaoxi, you know that King Ning has a deep affection for Qin Wan, why do you still want to match His Majesty and Qin Wan?"

Ning Xi said helplessly: "Whether Brother Ning has Qin Wan or not doesn't actually have much influence on him, and Qin Wan is neither happy nor happy with him. Falling in love, even if there is no right or wrong, at least you can feel it." Be happy, but I don't see anything in Qin Wan. So it's better to let Brother Ning give Qin Wan to Xiaoxian."

"You think Qin Wan is special?" Situ Xinghe asked.

Ning Xi nodded: "Well, it's very special. Xinghe, you know, Xiaoxian is too much like his concubine mother, simple and kind, doesn't understand love, hate and pain, and doesn't even care about his own life and death. You see, he never He is neither angry nor sad, not because he is really a good person, but because he has no selfish desires as a human being. A person without selfish desires will not be selfish, do not know how to protect his heart, and will kindly forget himself , and even compromised. But Qin Wan is different..."

Ning Xi took a sip of tea and continued: "Qin Wan is the kind of selfish and selfish person who does whatever it takes to achieve her goals. She can easily do things that hurt others and herself. You can see that Brother Ning Wang is a good example. She made Ning Brother Wang is no longer that cold person, which gave him feelings as a human being. If Qin Wan and Xiao Xian are together, it will definitely change him, awaken his inner human emotions, and guide him to love someone, And it is a very selfish love, not the so-called great love."

Situ Xinghe raised his hand and patted Ning Xi's head, his eyes were as gentle as water: "Although what you said makes sense, it can be seen from the incident in Xishu that Qin Wan has really become King Ning's weakness. Even if the protection It is not a good thing for His Royal Highness King Ning of Rong Kingdom to have a weakness, but it is really difficult for King Ning to give up Qin Wan."

Ning Xi lowered her head and thought for a while: "Yeah, obviously Qin Wan is not happy with him, and he still doesn't let go. It's really too much."

"King Ning won't let go, so it's better to let Qin Wan leave King Ning on his own initiative." Situ Xinghe said with a raised lip.

Ning Xi: "Xinghe, do you have a solution?"

Situ Xinghe took Ning Yi into his arms: "For this method, I still need your help, Xiaoxi..."

……

The days passed quickly, and Princess Ning Xi gradually handed over all the affairs in the palace to Qin Wan. It was originally agreed to enter the palace every five days, but it gradually became a daily routine for going to work.

Qin Wan felt that she had been tricked by Princess Ning Xi, and it was still a deep pit that she couldn't climb out of.There are too many chores in the palace, she can only start to "commute" with Ning Yi, get up before dawn, and go back to the house with Ning Yi when it gets dark.However, Princess Ning Xi hid away after having Qin Wan as an assistant. When she went to the palace, she just chatted with Ning Xian and played chess, and basically ignored all the big and small things in the palace.

Qin Wan didn't have an official position, and the maids and officials in the palace didn't know what to call her, and who started calling her Mrs. Qin first, so everyone started calling her that, which really made her feel a little weird.But the more you listen, the more you get used to it.

Not long after, news came from Situ Mansion that Princess Ning Xi was pregnant.

This is good, Ning Xi completely let go of the affairs in the palace, and gave Qin Wan a big job.

The annual sacrificial ceremony of the Beirong Palace will be held on October [-]th every year.In previous years, it was jointly organized by Princess Ning Xi, Tai Changqing and their subordinates Tai Le, Tai Zhu, Da Zai, Tai Shi, Tai Bu, and the imperial physician Liu Lingcheng.But this year, Ning Xi threw the job directly to Qin Wan on the grounds of protecting her baby.

Qin Wan started working like an invincible hot wheel, so busy that she even needed Ning Yi to wait for her outside the palace.

"Ning Yi, I think His Majesty and the Princess are really twins. The two of them worked together and put all their work on us. A leisurely emperor and a concubine-raising princess are really... drunk!" Qin Wan Tormented by the tedious preparations for the sacrificial ceremony, he was going crazy.

"If you are too tired, let the people below do it." Ning Yi looked at her dark circles and said with some distress.

"I have given them all the work that can be given to Tai Changqing and the others, but they especially like to come to ask my opinion. If I have any opinions, let them follow the old practice, but they insist that this year's sacrifice and It's different from previous years, because His Majesty is going to celebrate his 15th birthday soon, and he will perform the ceremony of tying his hair, so he will perform the divination ceremony at this sacrificial ceremony. It's setting up an altar, putting on airs, and some things I haven't heard of before. The divination ceremony is really going to kill me. And I think that what is my status, is it appropriate to host such a big event?" Qin Wan complained anxiously.

"The Ritual Divination Ceremony is really cumbersome. The Taibu Order will divination the future fortune of the country. It is a very serious matter. I will spare a few days to help you organize this grand ceremony first, and then deal with other matters." Ning Yi said .

"That's great. With your help, I feel more at ease." Seeing that Ning Yi was willing to help, Qin Wan felt much relieved.

Seeing that Qin Wan's expression finally relaxed a lot, Ning Yi's expression became serious.Looking at the gloomy sky outside, he always felt that something was wrong with this year's grand ceremony.
