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

Chapter 35 Rules
Just now when he entered the gate of Changle Palace, he saw two eunuchs standing around with a respectful attitude.

Seeing Jiang Ning, the two hurriedly bowed and greeted loudly: "Concubine Ning is auspicious—"

Jiang Ning has been out of the cold palace for a long time, but she is not used to the respectful and polite appearance of everyone.

The sudden voice of the two eunuchs made Jiang Ning tremble in fright. She looked at the two, smiled awkwardly, and waved her hands unnaturally, "Excuse me, excuse me, you're welcome."

The two eunuchs didn't even look sideways at her, they just stood up straight and returned to their original respectful but lifeless appearance.

Jiang Ning was inexplicably embarrassed, she turned her head unnaturally to look at Ling Yue beside her, but unexpectedly, the other party also had a calm and composed look on her face.

What happened just now seemed to be just Jiang Ning's illusion.

So she turned her face away unnaturally, imitating the appearance of others, holding back her smile, and walked towards the cold palace with her head sullen.

The decoration of Changle Palace is simple and elegant. In the empty courtyard, the seasonal flowers with elegant colors complement each other, which is exactly the same as the empress's reputation that people have always praised.

As the palace where the empress lives, Changle Palace is naturally much larger than Leng Palace.

This short journey made Jiang Ning feel as if he had traveled half a lifetime.

As Jiang Ning continued to move forward, the faint scent of sandalwood became more intense.

Jiang Ning was used to the usual fragrance of flowers and fruits in her palace, but this smell made her feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

The strong smell made Jiang Ning dizzy for a while, her nose itched for a while, and she sneezed unbearably.

"Ah-"

As soon as the sneeze came out, Jiang Ning felt a little offended and rubbed his nose, and chuckled a few times in embarrassment.

"I'm not used to hearing it—"

Ling Yue smiled quite relieved, "Our mother likes to chant scriptures and pay respects to Buddha. She always said that in the deep palace, peace of mind is more important than anything else."

Jiang Ning nodded approvingly, and secretly sighed in his heart, he deserves to be the master of the harem, but the pattern is different from his own.

As the two of them walked to the entrance of the main hall, Shen Qingrong, who was dressed in a pale gold shirt, walked slowly from the hall.

When she saw Jiang Ning, a faint but just right smile appeared on her face, "You are here."

Jiang Ning swallowed unnaturally, and she tried hard to think about what kind of opening remarks she should use to communicate with Shen Qingrong.

"Emperor, Empress—"

Before the word "Niangniang" could be uttered smoothly, Shen Qingrong opened the mouth first.

"You came just in time, come and have dinner with me." Shen Qingrong smiled gently, and made a "please" gesture to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning was naturally aware of the disparity in their identities, even though she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart, she still nodded and followed Shen Qingrong into the palace.

"You have been in the palace for such a long time, and I haven't had time to meet you formally. It's quite a pity. Today, I think that the moonlight is just right in the middle of the moon, and I want to invite Concubine Ning to enjoy the moon together."

The three of them entered the palace together, and Shen Qingrong took the lead to sit down on the front seat. She smiled and nodded to Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning hesitated for a moment, then took his seat immediately.

"It is my honor to be able to watch the moon with the empress."

Jiang Ning imitated Shen Qingrong's appearance, and returned her a gentle and distant smile.

At this time, the sky was getting late, and the sky outside the gate showed a small piece of rich dark blue, and the bright and bright full moon was hanging in the dark blue.

Ling Yue stood on the sidelines, and began to pick up the bowl and spoon to scoop up soup for Shen Qingrong.

Only then did Jiang Ning realize that there was such a person standing beside her, almost subconsciously, she stretched out her hand to pull Lingyue to sit down.

But just as she stretched out her hand, Shen Qingrong saw her thoughts in an instant, "These maids exist to serve the master, if Concubine Ning wants to deprive them of their jobs, then the meaning of these palace maids' existence will be meaningless." Where is it?"

Almost reflexively, Jiang Ning withdrew his hand embarrassingly.

Shen Qingrong's few short sentences made Jiang Ning read out many deep meanings.

At that moment, Jiang Ning seemed to realize in an instant that the empress had gone to so much trouble to invite herself to dinner today.

It's just to let her keep her own place and not break the rules in the palace.

Jiang Ning secretly sighed, she has been in the palace for so long, and she has done all the things that are in accordance with the rules and not in accordance with the rules.

Now the queen wants to talk to her on the second day of the fifteenth day.

It seems that my meal on the fifteenth day really offended the queen.

Jiang Ning took the chicken soup Ling Yue gave her, took a spoonful of it with a spoon, and slowly swallowed it.

While drinking the chicken soup carelessly, she carefully watched the Queen's movements of drinking the soup.

Shen Qingrong's posture for drinking soup was quite elegant. She was holding a spoon, her body was straight, she was carefully twisting the spoon with two fingers, her little finger raised a proper arc, and slowly sent it towards her lips.

Jiang Ning nodded, and drank a whole bowl of chicken soup in two gulps.

She couldn't figure out what the soup tasted like.

But she was almost sure that it would be difficult for her to get out at [-]:[-] tonight.

On the other side, in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

With his hands behind his back, Mu Jingzhao walked back and forth in the Hall of Mental Cultivation without any haste.

This is his habit all the time.

Mu Jingzhao’s long-term habit of eating a lot of desserts has seriously damaged Mu Jingzhao’s teeth. All the imperial physicians in the palace are earnest and tireless in admonishing Mu Jingzhao to refrain from eating desserts.

Mu Jingzhao thought so, but he refused to change after repeated admonitions.

But the imperial physician still adhered to the belief that he should be responsible for the emperor's health, and stared at him tirelessly.

However, they couldn't keep an eye on Mu Jingzhao all the time.

Therefore, their criterion for judging whether Mu Jingzhao eats sweets is to look at his body shape changes.

In this way, not only did Mu Jingzhao not give up sweets, but he developed a good habit of exercising.

He kept an eye on his weight all the time, for fear of being spotted by those meddling imperial physicians.

"Your Majesty." Lin Zheng's deep voice came from outside the door, and with the weak sunlight, Mu Jingzhao could see Lin Zheng's tall figure on the window.

"Go in." Mu Jingzhao's steps suddenly stopped, he took a deep breath, stood up straight, and turned to the direction of the door.

Lin Zheng pushed the door open and walked in. He is always in the palace these days, so naturally he doesn't care whether his whereabouts will be noticed or not.

"What is the emperor's order?" Lin Zheng bowed slightly and saluted Mu Jingzhao.

The movement of Lin Zheng entering the palace brought out a gust of wind, which carried the unique smell of fertilizer in Jiangning's courtyard and rushed towards Mu Jingzhao.

Almost instantly, Mu Jingzhao covered his nose with a pained expression.

"What is this smell, why is it so bad?"
