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

Chapter 34 Summoned
Cooking smoke curled up from the chimney of the dining room, Jiang Ning closed his eyes, quietly watching Lin Zheng watering.

A smell of soil mixed with fertilizer slowly wafted over. Jiang Ning didn't think the smell was unpleasant, but felt that the smell was reassuring.

It seems that I can really feel the fertility brought by the fertilizer to the soil and nourish the seeds to grow vigorously.

Lin Zheng worked very quickly, and in a short time, he came to Jiang Ning's side with a hoe on his shoulder and wiped his sweat.

"Your Majesty, I'm done." He didn't change his face, and there was no trace of fatigue and weakness on his face after hard work.

"Okay." She stood up with a smile, "let's go in and have dinner."

The dinner Zheliu was cooked very sumptuously, and she even killed a chicken specially for Lin Zheng.

The three sat around the table, and the atmosphere was very dignified.

For people like Lin Zheng, all Zhe Liu knew was that he belonged to the emperor, and nothing else.

With ignorance comes fear.

Zhe Liu sat blankly in front of the dining table, picked up the chopsticks and put them down again, hesitant to speak.

If it was the past, she would have picked up the chicken legs on the table and started gnawing on them indistinctly.

The three of them sat facing each other, and no one moved their chopsticks for a long time.

"Where's Lu Feng? Why didn't you come today?" Jiang Ning sat for a while and couldn't help asking.

Zhe Liu glanced at Lin Zheng with some embarrassment. The fact may be that Lin Zheng was eating in the cold palace at the moment, and the guards stationed outside the cold palace had no leader, so Lu Feng had no choice but to take the lead.

"He's a bit busy with work today, so he won't take time off." She thought about it for a while, and said a sinner who was eclectic and not at all.

"Okay." Jiang Ning rubbed his hands excitedly, "Then let's eat first."

Jiang Ning is not an optimist, but no matter what kind of things she faces, she will always have a good meal.

And her bad mood will always disappear with the meal.

"Commander Lin!" Jiang Ning was about to move his chopsticks, when Lu Feng hurriedly ran from outside the house, and ran straight into the cold palace.

Jiang Ning couldn't help rolling his eyes, and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

Seeing Jiang Ning's white eyes, Lu Feng couldn't help shrinking his neck, "Commander Lin, the emperor is pleased."

Lin Zheng was startled for a moment, then got up and gave Jiang Ning his hands, "Forgive me for being disrespectful."

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, and stopped talking. She brought something to her mouth just now and put it back with some hesitation.

"I will send you out."

Lu Feng was slightly taken aback, and then retreated tactfully.

Jiang Ning and Lin Zheng strolled in the courtyard of the Leng Palace. The Leng Palace does not occupy a large area, and half of the distance was covered in the blink of an eye.

"Your Majesty, there is something you want to tell me."

Jiang Ning paused and looked back at him, "Your Majesty knows the true identity of this palace."

"The emperor doesn't know anything about it."

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, stopped talking, and stood by the door of the cold palace, watching Lin Zheng leave.

She turned her head and went into the house. Anyway, the matter of eating should not be delayed. In Jiang Ning's eyes, this matter is the second most important thing besides making money.

She returned to the palace, just as she was seated, Zhe Liu turned to look at her with a puzzled face, "Your Majesty, aren't you going to see the Empress Dowager today?"

Jiang Ning reluctantly took a bite of the chicken leg, swallowed it, his expression slightly startled, and then returned to normal.

Sure enough, as long as you get busy, everything can be completely forgotten.

However, Jiang Ning didn't care too much, and she still felt that she should have a bite of food first.

"Yes, I have had dinner, I'll go later."

As soon as she finished speaking, she held the chicken leg and gnawed it with a smile on her face.

"Niang Niang—" Jiang Ning was stunned as she chewed, because she heard a rather unfamiliar call from a court lady.

This can be said to be quite rare in the cold palace, so rare that it can temporarily pull Jiang Ning back from eating with all his heart.

A maid in Tsing Yi trotted into the cold palace and came to Jiang Ning, "Slave Ling Yue is a servant of the empress's palace."

After Ling Yue finished speaking, she didn't get a response from Jiang Ning for a long time. She was puzzled and raised her head tentatively.

But Jiang Ning was holding a chicken leg and gnawed it. After two strokes, the fist-sized chicken leg bottomed out in an instant.

Ling Yue was dumbfounded, she was considered an old man in the palace, she had served countless masters, but Jiang Ning was probably the only one who could eat so voraciously.

"Okay, tell me!" Jiang Ning put aside the gnawed bone of the chicken leg, wiped the corner of her mouth casually, and sent down the chicken leg meat in her mouth with a bowl of soup.

Ling Yue was stunned for a long time, obviously, Jiang Ning's behavior shocked her so much that she even forgot her business here.

She was stunned for a while, and forced her mouth to close, "The emperor, the emperor, the empress, please come to the palace to have a talk."

Now, the dumbfounded person was replaced by Jiang Ning.

Her mind was running fast, and she really couldn't think of any intersection between herself and the queen except that she accidentally ruined the fifteenth night banquet between the emperor and the queen.

Soon, Jiang Ning came to a result that made her very sad.

That is.

This is a Hongmen banquet.

She casually wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, her movements were graceful and dignified as if she had nothing to do with the wolf-eating woman not long ago, "Okay, I'll go later."

As if afraid of Jiang Ning's repentance, Ling Yue just stood quietly by the table.

Jiang Ning wanted to take advantage of this time to eat a few more mouthfuls, but Lin Yue's gaze made Jiang Ning lose his interest in eating in an instant.

She put down her chopsticks, waved her hand at Ling Yue, took out the peacock feather hairpin from the side, put it away, and sighed resignedly, "I'm leaving now."

Along the way, Jiang Ning filled his brain with the scenes of countless women who he had seen in the storybooks intriguing and fighting to the death.

However, no matter how much she imagined, she felt that she had absolutely no chance of winning against the empress.

I heard that the empress is virtuous and virtuous, and is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a typical lady from a famous family and the best candidate for empress.

She treats her servants kindly and sympathizes with the monarch. Everyone respects and loves her, and they are all very proud of having such a virtuous queen.

But when Jiang Ning thought of her, he always felt an inexplicable fear.

This discomfort may be due to the unknown, or it may be due to something else, Jiang Ning can't tell.

"Miss Lingyue, do you know why the empress is looking for me?"

Ling Yue smiled without saying a word.

"Is it because of what happened last night?"

Ling Yue smiled without saying a word.

"Is the empress dissatisfied with this palace?"

Ling Yue smiled without saying a word.

So Jiang Ning stopped talking, and she just followed Ling Yue with her head depressed.

In just a short while, Jiang Ning was covered in cold sweat and his heart was beating like thunder.

Just now when he walked to the Changle Palace where Shen Qingrong was, he could smell the scent of sandalwood coming towards his face, which made Jiang Ning's restless heart instantly calm down a lot.
