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

Chapter 87
Jiang Ning pondered for a moment, and probably understood it in his heart.

Now it is unrealistic to find the prime minister's daughter. The most urgent task now is to protect the safety of the prime minister's family.

After all, I am still Mu Jingzhao's concubine in the palace, no matter how urgent the other party is, I have to leave room for Mu Jingzhao's face.

But the prime minister's family may not know about it at all.

It would be pitiful to be framed by someone so unprepared.

"I agree with the emperor that the real purpose of the other party should be the prime minister."

Jiang Qingyuan looked at Jiang Ning with a stunned expression.

"Is it a minister?"

Jiang Ning nodded.

"The other party took so much trouble to set up this situation, hoping that this palace will show its feet in front of the emperor, and thus charge the prime minister with the crime of killing the king."

Jiang Qingyuan's turbid eyes widened suddenly, the hand holding the tea kept trembling, and the tea in the cup kept overflowing.

Looking at Jiang Ning's calm face, Jiang Qingyuan exhaled lightly. He put down the teacup in his hand, and raised his hand to wipe the tea on the sleeve casually.

Jiang Qingyuan: "Thank you, Madam, for saving my life."

Jiang Ning looked up at Jiang Qingyuan bowing his knees in front of him, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

She was really not used to the respectful attitude of others in front of her, and it wasn't because of the difference in identity between herself and the prime minister.

It's because, at the age of the prime minister, she is like an elder.

My elders talked to me in such a respectful tone.

This feeling really made Jiang Ning a little panicked.

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, "This in itself is to protect the palace itself, please don't mind the prime minister."

"That lady"

Jiang Qingyuan seemed to want to say something, but unexpectedly, he just said three words, and there was a shout of Zheliu outside the door.

"My lord, it's getting late."

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, "Please be more careful, Prime Minister."

Such a simple sentence made Jiang Qingyuan's yellow eyes a little more tearful.

"Thank you for your concern, Madam, and please protect me in everything." Jiang Qingyuan stood up, bowed to Jiang Ning, "If there is any difficulty in the palace, I will do my best to help Madam."

Jiang Ning's nose was inexplicably sore, and he followed Jiang Qingyuan to his feet.

"If I have the opportunity, I will do my best to help your lord find Ling Qianjin."

Having said all that, the two of them didn't say any more, they just walked side by side towards the outside of the hall.

Just now when he went out, Zhe Liu hurriedly came forward and brought the two of them to the sedan chair prepared by the gate of the palace.

The sedan chair was lifted to the edge of the koi pond and landed on the ground. Jiang Ning and the prime minister walked slowly towards the bridge side by side, and Zhe Liu followed behind them not too far away.

"Is there enough money for your empress to spend in the palace?"

Jiang Ning nodded, "Enough, I have saved a lot of money these days."

After hearing her words, Jiang Qingyuan thought for a moment, then chuckled.

There is the kindness and kindness unique to the elders in the smile.

"The old man has also heard a little about how your empress works in the palace. Your empress can really be called a strange woman."

After being praised so much, Jiang Ning scratched his head in embarrassment.

She was too embarrassed to tell Jiang Qingyuan that her so-called making money was actually cheated by Mu Jingzhao.

"careful!"

The two walked all the way to the gazebo, Jiang Qingyuan walked forward first, helplessly, but did not notice the steps on the edge of the gazebo.

He tripped over the steps, staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

Jiang Ning hurried forward to help, which prevented Jiang Qingyuan from falling.

"Thank you madam."

Jiang Ning nodded in response, hesitated for a moment, but finally did not let go of his supporting hand.

The two walked to the center of the pavilion together. When passing by the crowd, Jiang Ning noticed the beautiful woman sitting beside the prime minister with a nervous expression.

Presumably that is the prime minister's wife, the prime minister's daughter's mother.

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded to the prime minister's wife.

"Meet the Emperor."

"I pay homage to the emperor. I haven't seen my father for a long time. I had a great time talking with my father. I forgot the time. Please forgive me."

Mu Jingzhao's gaze swept over the two of them slowly, and he immediately understood.

"Hurry up and get rid of the courtesy, my concubine misses her family very much, so I naturally won't blame it. Take your seat quickly."

Jiang Ning nodded and looked in Mu Jingzhao's direction, only to see Liu Jinfu and Shen Qingrong sitting on the left and right of Mu Jingzhao, only the seat next to Liu Jinfu was still vacant.

She walked up to Liu Jinfu and took a seat.

Liu Jinfu was wearing a crimson dress embroidered with white peony flowers today, and only a peacock feather hairpin was pinned in her hair.

The whole person is bright but not gaudy.

When Jiang Ning took her seat, she was staring at the magnolia flowers in the vase on the table, as if she was thinking about something.

Seeing such a bright and charming Liu Jinfu, Jiang Ning immediately felt that his tense mood was relieved a bit.

She quietly looked at Liu Jinfu's beautiful side face from the side, feeling inexplicably that she should tell Liu Jinfu how beautiful she was.

So she lowered her voice and called softly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Liu Jinfu was slightly taken aback, and turned his head to look at Jiang Ning with a confused expression.

"You look so beautiful today."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Jinfu laughed heartily, "You are really a girl."

In the main hall, Mu Jingzhao stood up holding the wine glass, and everyone also stood up with Mu Jingzhao.

Today, Mu Jingzhao was wearing a golden dragon robe embroidered with the pattern of a coiling dragon, exuding a compelling imperial air.

"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend Concubine Liu Guifei's 20th birthday banquet. I am very honored. Apart from the concubine's birthday, today has other important meanings."

Mu Jingzhao paused, and turned the wine glass in Jiang Ning's direction.

All eyes turned to Jiang Ning.

Several eyes fell on Jiang Ning's face in an instant. She was a little uncomfortable, but she still stood up straight, but her ears turned red at an astonishing speed.

"This is the first time Concubine Ning has attended a banquet since she entered the palace. Today's banquet is a family banquet, so please feel free to do whatever you want."

After Mu Jingzhao finished speaking, he drank the wine glass in one gulp.

Everyone in the hall also drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Mu Jingzhao sat down with a smile and clapped his hands. Several musicians walked quickly into the pavilion with their instruments in their hands and stood still in front of the rockery.

The sound of silk and bamboo flows out from the instruments of the people, the music is soft and soothing, like the gurgling of spring water, the water hits the stones and pours into the ears of everyone in the pavilion, and everyone in the hall is intoxicated with soft expressions.

Jiang Ning looked at the people in the hall, and saw that everyone was eating the food in front of them with lowered eyes.

In the process of sizing up, she accidentally noticed a gaze cast towards her, and she subconsciously turned her head to look, only to see General Liu Yue looking angrily at Liu Jinfu beside her.
