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

Chapter 57
Three days later, Qin Wan and Ning also boarded the carriage to Liyang City.

In the past few days, Qin Wan has been looking for an opportunity to ask Ning Yi how he passed the New Year, but he never had the opportunity.

So she asked Yuan Ying who was driving: "Yuan Ying, how did you spend the New Year with His Royal Highness King Ning? Did he spend the New Year with Jin Yu?"

Qin Wan regretted this sentence as soon as she said it. She really just wanted to ask, but it sounded very embarrassing after she said it.

Yuan Ying was not that sensitive, and said truthfully, "Your Majesty, His Highness King Ning has never passed the New Year's Eve. Even in Rong Kingdom, he would not participate in the banquets during the New Year's Eve."

"Why?" Qin Wan wondered, "Is there anyone in this world who is not old enough?"

Yuan Ying shook her head: "We don't know the specific reason. Your Majesty can ask His Highness in person."

"No," Qin Wan shook his head, "I'm not interested in knowing either."

The car is walking on the official road, and there are occasional villages on both sides, but most of the time it is the suburban wilderness, and there is nothing to see in the middle of winter.Qin Wan finished in the carriage, covered with a thick blanket, and closed her eyes.It is said to close your eyes and rest your mind, but it is actually boring, and there is nothing else to do except sleep.

Without talking all the way, the convoy finally arrived in Liyang City on a sunny morning.

Liyang City is adjacent to Lishui River in the south and Maoshan Mountain in the north. It has been a place with fertile land and developed water system since ancient times, and it is also a city where merchants gather.Not to mention anything else, just looking at the four words "崟展娟娟" written in gold on the plaque on the top of Liyang City, you can see how much money this city loves.

Passing through the spacious city gate, the prosperous scene in the city is even better than that of Yingyang City.

When the merchants in the stalls and markets saw the Beirong army flag, they did not bow down like the people in Yingyang City. Instead, they looked up and continued to do their business with their heads down.

"Yuan Ying, the people in Liyang City don't seem to be that afraid of your Northern Army." Qin Wan opened the door curtain and asked Yuan Ying.

Yuan Ying explained: "Although Liyang City is under the jurisdiction of Liang State, they do not rely on the protection of Liang State's army, but rely on the northern Maoshan Shangqing faction."

"Is this Shangqing sect very powerful?" Qin Wan asked again.

Yuan Ying nodded: "They and His Royal Highness King Ning's Shimen Baishanmen are divided into courts, and they are called 'Baibei Qingnan'. The head of the sect, Dan Xiuzi, promotes the cultivation of Qi and God, re-climbing into the Jing, keeping the image of the gods, and not focusing on practicing the outer alchemy , the level of martial arts is equal to that of His Highness' master Baishi Taoist. I heard that they once competed in martial arts on the top of Taibai Snow Peak, the highest peak in Qingling, and ended in a draw after all moves..."

Watching Yuan Ying introduce with emotion while riding the horse, Qin Wan secretly covered his mouth and paid back.She has no interest in the kung fu of the Jianghu school of martial arts, and only dozes off when she hears it.

What Yuan Ying said afterward, Qin Wan didn't hear clearly, her attention was suddenly attracted by a tall courtyard at the end of the road that was one and a half floors above ground level.The sapphire stone steps in front of the courtyard are a high platform, and rows of black pines are planted on both sides. It seems that each tree is more than a hundred years old.The gate of the courtyard above the steps, the black pillars, the golden rafters, the carved nanmu beams, and the majestic lintel plaque, Qin Wan didn't quite understand what was written in cursive on the plaque, but the corners and corners revealed the rich and powerful. In terms of appearance, it was even better than Yingyang Palace.

This should be the destination of their trip - the main mansion of the Jin family in Liyang.

"Wow," Qin Wan stared straight, and murmured, "This is too rich, the price of this black pine alone is enough to buy more than ten acres of land."

The carriage stopped in front of the golden house, and a man and a woman went out to greet them with about a hundred servants.The man was dressed in a pine green brocade gown, with a Taoist hexagonal lotus crown on his head and a string of beads in his hand. He looked like a rich Taoist priest.The woman's whole body is covered in pink gauze, her hair is full of pink willows and green pearl hairpins, and her ears are wearing big peach blossom and pearl ear chains. Just looking at her makes people worry that a gap will fall out of her earlobe.

Yuan Ying turned her head and explained to Qin Wan: "That is Jin Wenchao, the second wife of the Jin family, who is also the second uncle of the head of the Jin family; the woman is Jin Wenchao's daughter, named Jinfeng."

Qin Wan glanced at Jin Feng, and was provoked by her charming and vulgar attire to burst out laughing.

Looking at the appearance on her head that almost put most of the valuable treasures in the makeup box on, Qin Wan secretly wanted to ask if this girl is not too heavy?If she hadn't been wearing a big pink body, she would have thought she was getting married.

Without even thinking about it, Qin Wan immediately guessed for whom Jin Feng was dressed like this.

"The daughter of the people, Jinfeng, has seen His Highness King Ning." Seeing Ning Yi dismounting, Jinfeng ran down the stone steps with her skirt in her hand, rushed to Ning Yi, bowed shyly, her bright red lips almost laughed to the bottom of her ears "Feng'er knew that His Highness King Ning arrived today, so he couldn't close his eyes with excitement last night. Now that I finally see you, Your Highness, Feng'er's pain of lovesickness will be relieved."

When Qin Wan heard these words, his whole body went numb.

This girl is too stupid...

Ning Yili ignored Jin Feng, turned around and walked to Qin Wan's car, raised his arms and said to Qin Wan who had already opened the curtain and walked out of the car: "Jump down, I'll follow you."

"Whoever wants you to pick it up, I can do it myself." Qin Wan pouted, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Jin Yu getting off from the car behind, she was holding Xi Bao's hand and looking towards this side calmly.

Ning Yi put down an arm and said, "Then hold my arm."

"I don't want it." Qin Wan pointed to the back with her chin, "Go and pick up your 'wife and children', I can take care of myself, after all, you are going back to your natal home with your wife and children..."

Before Qin Wan could finish speaking, Ning Yi raised both hands, hugged her waist, and effortlessly lifted her from the carriage and put her on the ground firmly: "When did you talk so much nonsense?"

"..." Qin Wan blushed, and looked at Ning Yi with almost murderous eyes.

At this time, Jin Wenchao hurriedly trot down from the high platform, bowed respectfully to Ning Yi, and bowed and obsequiously welcomed him into the house.

Qin Wan just wanted to keep up with Ning Yi, but felt another murderous aura. Looking sideways, Jin Feng was gnashing her back molars, staring at her with fire in her eyes.Her face was wiped as white as snow, her lips were as red as blood, and she had an expression of wanting to eat people, which made Qin Wan's heart tremble, feeling very terrified.

At this time, Qin Wan was surprised to find that this girl was not only a tiger, but also a fish in her mind - the clothes under Da Dong's neck were just a layer of tulle, and the circles and circles were faintly visible inside, which gave Qin Wan goosebumps.

At this time, Jin Yu led Xi Bao forward, and reprimanded him: "Feng'er, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you be polite when you see Concubine Qin?"

"Concubine Qin?" Jin Feng raised her eyebrows and looked at Qin Wan, looked him up and down, and then saluted contemptuously, "The daughter of the people has met Concubine Qin. I heard that you are very fascinated by His Royal Highness King Ning. I really didn't see you today." Thinking of how ordinary your appearance and clothing are. If I had known this, I wouldn’t have needed to spend two or three hours washing and dressing up in the morning.”

After finishing speaking, she turned around to chase after Ning Yi, and impatiently leaned towards his side, laughing so hard that the flower branches trembled, wishing to stick to Ning Yi's body.

Jin Yu apologized beside Qin Wan: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Feng'er is the younger sister of my second uncle's family. She has been spoiled since she was a child. It is inevitable that the rules are not good enough. Please forgive me."

Qin Wan resisted the urge to hit someone, and smiled: "It seems that this little girl from the second room has given Mrs. Jin a lot of headaches? She is dressed like this, and His Royal Highness King Ning can't see her no matter what she does. Anyway, Whether it's sensationalism or extreme aesthetics, this girl understands the matter of attracting human attention."

Jin Yu's smile was dry: "Feng'er usually dresses a bit exaggeratedly, but today she should be welcoming distinguished guests, so it is inevitable to dress up more solemnly. Don't worry, empress, I will remind her to abide by her duty."

Qin Wan shook her head and smiled at Jin Yu: "Madam Jin, you have misunderstood me. I am more worried about you, afraid that you will be robbed of the limelight by your silly little sister."

Jin Yu showed embarrassment: "My lady was joking. It's windy outside, let's go in quickly."
