Jiang Ning wanted to continue to say something, but was surprised by Zhe Liu's sudden movement.

Zhe Liu bowed and hugged her.

"Niang Niang." Zhe Liu called her, with a hint of crying in his voice.

She was a little helpless, and gently patted Zheliu's back.

In fact, Jiang Ning really didn't think that what she did was a big deal. In her heart, she didn't really have a master-servant concept at all.

To her, Zhe Liu is like a younger sister.

She is a relative who can depend on her for life in this palace, so it is her duty to help her, and it is not a big deal.

"Okay, if you keep crying, Ben Gong will feel that you don't want to marry Lu Feng."

"Niang Niang!" Zhe Liu said softly like a baby, and gently rubbed against Jiang Ning's body, tears and snot all rubbing against Jiang Ning's collar.

Jiang Ning was a little helpless, and gently patted her back with his palm. After thinking about it, she hugged Zhe Liu with both hands, and hugged her slightly harder.

Although she probably guessed what was going to happen next and was probably prepared in her heart, but according to Mu Jingzhao, the situation should be much more dangerous than she imagined.

Not knowing what's going on, she can only prepare for the worst.

The master and servant hugged and talked to each other for a long time, Zhe Liu finally let go of Jiang Ning's arm, and carefully began to dress Jiang Ning.

This time, Zhe Liu dressed up very carefully and diligently. After a long time of tossing, it was time for the banquet in the blink of an eye.

In fact, banquets in the palace have always been very boring. The form is nothing more than some dignitaries gathering together to eat, drink, and watch performances.

It stands to reason that everyone should not be very interested in this, but this time there are some exceptions, because Mu Jingzhao has his first child since he ascended the throne, and this child is very likely to become the prince.

Shen Tong tried his best to urge Mu Jingzhao to announce that Shen Qingrong was pregnant, because he wanted to show off to everyone that his daughter was pregnant with the emperor's eldest son, and a mother is more expensive than a child.

And because of the arrival of this child, his status has completely changed, and he no longer needs to be a man with his tail between his legs in front of Jiang Qingyuan and Liu Yue.

Moreover, once Mu Jingzhao agrees to his request, then in the next step, he will urge Mu Jingzhao to establish a crown prince and consolidate his position.

In this way, the political situation of the court will also be completely changed.

It can be said that everyone at this banquet was waiting for Shen Tong to put on a good show.

Except Jiang Ning and Liu Jinfu and Jiang Ning.

Liu Jinfu has always been unwilling to care about the struggles between these families. In her eyes, no prince of power is as attractive as a piece of meat in her own bowl.

Jiang Ning, on the other hand, was concentrating on thinking about Zhe Liu's marriage.

Although she had already planned to marry Zheliu Cao in her heart a long time ago, she still felt a little at a loss when she thought of actually doing it.

After all, even her own marriage was like a child's play, and it was over if she was knocked out with a sap and sent in. She didn't know the traditional wedding customs at all.

The only impression is probably that when she was begging with the old beggar, once she found out that there was a wedding banquet, she would specially change into a cleaner dress and go have a meal.

Of course, the attention of the two of them at the wedding banquet was also on the table full of delicious food.

Know nothing about process conventions.

Just when Jiang Ning was engrossed in his thoughts, there were two weak "tsk tsk" sounds from his side.

Jiang Ning followed the prestige, but saw Liu Jinfu looking at her mysteriously, and motioned her to look at a certain position with his eyes.

She looked suspiciously at the other party to indicate her direction, only to realize that Shen Tong had already got up with a glass of wine.

Such an action indicates that the good show is about to begin.

Jiang Ning glanced at Liu Jinfu with some gratitude, put down his chopsticks knowingly, and began to concentrate on looking at Shen Tong who was about to start acting.

It seemed that he had drunk some wine, Shen Tong's cheeks were flushed, and his cheeks and forehead seemed to be a little blush.

He was holding the wine glass, his fat stomach was straightened out, and his gait, which was a bit unsteady at first, staggered twice as he moved forward, almost falling down.

The servant beside him hurriedly stepped forward to help, Shen Tong regained his footing, raised his wine glass to Mu Jingzhao's position, and raised his voice.

"The rebellion in Qingshui County can be easily solved by the emperor without spending a single soldier. If you have a king like this, the people are lucky."

Everyone present had different expressions, but they still raised their wine glasses and turned towards Mu Jingzhao with a smile on their faces.

Mu Jingzhao raised his glass in return.

Jiang Jing watched quietly, without any movement, his expression remained calm, but there were faint sounds of grinding his teeth from his mouth.

When she thought about what happened with Qingshui County, she wanted to tear Shen Tong apart.

"Concubine Ning?"

Jiang Ning turned to look at him with a cold expression, "Yes."

The smile on Shen Tong's face didn't diminish by half. He looked at Jiang Ning and curled his lips, "I heard that the empress played a key role in quelling the rebellion this time. On behalf of the people of Qingshui County, I thank the empress."

She felt cold all over, and subconsciously thought that Shen Tong was about to reveal that she was a fake prime minister's daughter.

After thinking about it, at this time, if he revealed this matter, it would be like lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot.

Even if Shen Tong got carried away, he wouldn't be so stupid.

Following Shen Tong's example, she raised her wine glass with a smirk, "What did your lord say, why doesn't I remember that I have a key role?"

Shen Tong was still staring at her, and there was a faint flash of light in those eyes that were originally somewhat hazy and drunk.

"If it wasn't for your proposal to chop off all the heads of those rebellious officials and thieves and hang them on the towers to frighten everyone, it probably wouldn't be able to bring about the peace of Qingshui County."

Jiang Ning felt cold all over, the other party's words clearly meant to drive a wedge between her and Mu Jingzhao.

She naturally believed in Mu Jingzhao.

But at this time, she subconsciously glanced at Mu Jingzhao.

But he was also looking at him, there was no injury in his eyes, only worry.

Jiang Ning probably guessed that the result of this treatment was what Mu Jingzhao said to the outside world, but now Shen Tong is forcing this matter on her head, which makes people unable to explain it even if they want to explain it.

At this moment, there was a crisp sound of chopsticks hitting the dishes.

"My lord, you're not labeling yourself indiscriminately. This method was suggested by me. Even if you want to flatter Concubine Ning, don't take the credit from me."

Liu Jinfu wiped her mouth slowly. She looked at Shen Tong with a charming smile as usual.

"It turned out to be the empress." Shen Tong cupped his hands slightly, and raised the wine glass in his hand to Liu Jinfu, "The empress is really decisive, the old minister has always heard that the most tempered people are in the army, now it seems that what he said is true.
