After being forced to marry as a substitute, I became famous in the limbo

Jiang Ning thought about it carefully for a long time, and probably understood the entanglement involved. Jiang Ning nodded in response, and believed Mu Jingzhao's words for the time being.

The two stayed warmly in the hall for a while, and Mu Jingzhao told her again and again, similar to staying in the cold palace and being careful in everything, he took out a small gold medal with exquisite carvings from his arms and handed it to Jiang Ning, telling her that if If an accident happened and Lin Zheng was found, they could use this token to leave the palace or something like that.

When the night was approaching, Jiang Ning left the Hall of Mental Cultivation and returned to the Leng Palace alone.

This farewell, Jiang Ning actually tasted a little taste of life and death from it.

When she returned to the Leng Palace, Zhe Liu was waiting for her at the gate of the Leng Palace. Fortunately, Jiang Ning had already put on a lonely expression before turning the corner.

It was getting late at this time, and she returned to the Leng Palace alone at this time, and what happened in it seemed to be silent.

Zhe Liu held an umbrella, and quickly stepped forward to hug her, rubbed Jiang Ning's cold arms vigorously, took a cloak and put it on her, and then protected her into the palace.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning couldn't bear it, but he could only force himself to remain silent.

On the second day, the news that Concubine Ning shamelessly went to find Mu Jingzhao but drove out late at night spread throughout the palace.

Zhe Liu and Lu Feng were indignant but at the same time helpless.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Jiang Ning.

Although she still stays in the cold palace all day long, she and Zhe Liu cleaned the cold palace up and down with great interest, and put up some stickers cut out of red paper, red satin lanterns, etc. for decoration .

The two became interested, and even made several sets of small clothes for Xueqiu. They were bright red, embroidered with delicate patterns with gold thread, and supplemented by white fringe, so cute.

Seeing Jiang Ning like this, the stone in Zhe Liu's heart fell to the ground, and the master and servant were so beamingly preparing to welcome the arrival of the new year.

Seeing her like this, Zheliu was also happy. Although the master and servant had lived the life of Jiang Ning when he first entered the palace, at least Jiang Ning still had some savings and connections, and the two lived a stable and happy life.

Time faltered, and it was New Year's Eve.

According to the customs of the Kingdom of Gong, the emperor will hold a family banquet in the palace on this day. Mu Jingzhao and everyone hold the banquet together to observe the old age and pray for a safe and smooth new year.

But it was different from ordinary family banquets, because both of Mu Jingzhao's parents died and he had no brothers, not to mention that the harem was withered, and the only prince who had been on the throne for three years was just pregnant.

If the banquet was held according to the usual etiquette, then only he and his three concubines from the harem would appear at the banquet.

Such a scale is too petty for an ordinary royal family.

Therefore, Mu Jingzhao had to slightly modify the original rules to allow relatives and family members of the empresses to participate.

In this way, it not only fits the theme of the family banquet, but also makes the banquet not look too petty.

It's just that Mu Jingzhao, the organizer of this banquet, has the taste of a visiting son-in-law.

Since it was a family banquet in the palace, Jiang Ning naturally wanted to attend. Although she was in the cold palace, Mu Jingzhao had already lifted her ban a few months ago, and her status was still there. Now Jiang Ning, She is a legitimate empress, no different from other empresses.

Participation is definitely necessary. For Jiang Ning, this is just an ordinary banquet, just go to have a meal, and it has nothing to do with Jiang Ning.

But this banquet reactivated Zhe Liu's excitement that had been silent for a long time.

After all, she was a girl who grew up in the palace. Although she felt that such a life was safe and comfortable, she still firmly felt that if she wanted to obtain real happiness, she still had to win the favor of the emperor.

Therefore, she was very excited about this banquet, and she dragged Jiang Ning out of the bed early in the morning, and she was about to dress up Jiang Ning with great interest.

Jiang Ning, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly pulled up. She was terrified. It was not until Zhe Liu pulled her to sit down in front of the dressing table that she finally realized what the other party was doing. Jiang Ning couldn't laugh or cry.

She doesn't object to Zheliu dressing her up, but the key point is that the banquet is at night, and it's still early in the morning, so no matter how delicate the makeup is, it won't take a whole day.

The master and servant argued for a long time, Jiang Ning was forced to take out a small cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Zhe Liu, "Listen to me." She said earnestly, "I am going to a banquet tonight, maybe Something big will happen, now, hurry up and go on a date with Lu Feng, otherwise it will be too late at night."

Zhe Liu opened the exquisitely embroidered purse in his hand, revealing a small handful of exquisitely embroidered gold nuggets and a hair ornament made of twisted peacock feathers.

She understood instantly that this was the New Year's money Jiang Ning gave her.

In Gong country, there is such a tradition.

The elders give lucky money to their juniors when the new year comes, implying good wishes, and the masters of the palace naturally have the habit of rewarding the slaves.

However, any master would not be so generous as to directly give a slave such a large bag of gold nuggets.

Leaving aside the bag of gold nuggets, the peacock feather hair ornament is worth thousands of gold.

It was a style that Zheliu had never seen before. It was different from the styles of Shen Qingrong and Liu Jinfu. It was made into a more low-key hairpin style by Jiang Ning, so the hairpin would not look ostentatious when worn on the head.

Zhe Liu stared at the hairpin and was stunned for a long time.

She has never seen Jiang Ning make that hairpin. When did she secretly make it?
"Niangniang, who is this?" Zheliu asked in a daze, but his brain hadn't come to his senses yet.

"Your lucky money and New Year's gifts!" Jiang Ning said almost viciously.She was originally a person who got up a little angry, but was suddenly pulled up from the bed by Zhe Liu, and she calmly told the other party for a long time that it was the limit.

What's more terrible is that she just fell asleep in a daze at the moment when Zhe Liu was stunned, and she was suddenly woken up, and the boredom in her heart was even worse.

Zhe Liu didn't realize Jiang Ning's displeasure, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Seeing the other party's eyes flushed, it was time to start the trilogy of sensational and tearful hugs to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning felt a little overwhelmed, she slapped Zhe Liu's arm lightly, "Get out."

Then he turned around and lay back on the bed without paying attention.

Since the beginning of winter, Jiang Ning has become more and more lethargic.

All day long, she and Zhe Liu Xueqiu stared at each other in the cold palace, saying that she couldn't do the book, the vegetable field was covered with ice and snow, and she had nothing to do when she went out, so she had to fall asleep all day long.

Even Xueqiu seemed to be infected by his master's laziness. Jiang Ning was sleeping on the bed, and Xueqiu lay on top of her head, sleeping soundly. (end of this chapter)
