As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 94
Emperor Xuanwu was busy with government affairs.

To express gratitude for the marriage, you don't have to meet him in person when you enter the palace. Instead, you just go to the harem and kowtow to Concubine Ning.

Because Concubine Ning was so exhausted from the Land and Water Conference that she could not get up, she was kept in her own palace, so the matter of gratitude was delayed for several days.

On the fifth day of September, Xie Wei brought back news that Concubine Ning was getting better.

Yu took Xie Xingchen to the palace.

The last time he came here, Xie Xingchen was full of anxiety and restless.

When he came this time, Xie Xingchen was like a zombie, with a pale face and an expressionless face, as if he was about to faint at any moment.

Yu was forced to sit in the same carriage with her. Seeing her posture, her eyebrows tightened, "We went to the palace to thank you. What will your empress think if she sees you like this?"

"How dissatisfied are you with this gift of marriage?"

"Things have reached this point, and no one can reverse the Holy Will. Instead of putting on such a depressed face and confronting the Queen, you should think more and do something to make your future life easier."

Naturally, Mrs. Yu didn't want to persuade her, but the imperial decree granting marriage was a big deal.

If Xie Xingchen is like this, if the palace blames him, not only will Xie Xingchen himself be unlucky, but the Xie family will also be unlucky.

Xie Xingchen seemed to have listened and cheered up, "I understand, auntie."

For the past few days, she couldn't figure out why Hao Hao was given a marriage to... Prince Liang.

Also because she was given a marriage to Prince Liang, she was even more afraid to tell anything about her affair with Chu Nanxuan.

They stayed in secret for five years.

Now that she has become the unmarried concubine of King Liang, those words will ruin the reputation of the royal family, which is a serious crime!

She was angry and worried about this matter but could do nothing about it. She couldn't sleep well in the past few days.

In this way, even if I try hard to stay energetic now, I actually look haggard.

But it's better than the sad look on his face just now.

After entering the palace, Yu and Xie Xingchen were led by the eunuchs to Chun'an Palace.

That's Concubine Ning's bedroom.

When the two passed by, it was still two-quarters of an hour before noon.

Before entering the palace courtyard, I heard the sound of children laughing inside.

Xie Xingchen was slightly startled.

Heer?
Suddenly, she seemed to have some energy again.

But when they entered the palace courtyard, they didn't see the child. They only saw a nun leading two maids and carrying a child inside.

Xie Xingchen felt a little disappointed and glanced at the nanny several times.

If Yu Shi hadn't pulled her, she would have almost lost control and chased after him.

"Concubine Ning, please come in." The eunuch's high-pitched voice rang out.

Yu and Xie Xingchen entered the palace.

Xie Xingchen glanced at the corner of his eyes and saw eight palace ladies standing on the left and right. They clasped their hands and placed them in front of their lower abdomen. They lowered their eyebrows to please their eyes.

When we arrived at the inner hall, the quiet and elegant fragrance came from the shop along with the light medicinal fragrance.

There was a lady in palace attire holding delicate scissors and pruning a pot of green plants on the table.

"My wife has met Concubine Ning." Mrs. Yu knelt down and saluted.

Xie Xingchen also knelt down quickly: "I have met your empress."

"Get up."

Concubine Ning is not even fifty yet, but she is well-maintained and looks like she is in her 30s at first glance.

The complicated palace clothes and priceless jewelry made her look jewel-like, and her phoenix eyes were slightly raised.

Perhaps it was because she was dressed more elaborately and grandly, which made Concubine Ning look a little more fierce than the gentle Concubine Xian.

Xie Xingchen felt nervous and got up together with Yu.

Yu said warmly: "I came to the palace today to express my gratitude."

"I know." Concubine Ning said with a smile, "I didn't see much of Xingchen, the second wife of the Xie family, but now I see that she is just a beautiful flower." Xie Xingchen stiffened and said, "Thank you, Concubine Ning, for your compliment."

"Relax, we will be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from now on."

Concubine Ning motioned to her mother-in-law to show Yu and Xie Xingchen a seat, then she took Yu to chat, "It's been a while since I've seen Sister Yu. The last water and land conference was so busy that I didn't bother to talk... …”

Xie Xingchen sat upright, not daring to move as the tea and cakes were brought to him.

This was her third visit to the palace. Although someone taught her the rules, she was too nervous.

And she was facing Concubine Ning, the adoptive mother of Prince Liang.

Heer is in this palace again.

Her mind was in a mess, her head lowered and her thoughts racing.

Suddenly she heard someone calling her several times: "Miss Xingchen, Miss Xingchen?"

When Xie Xingchen raised his eyes, he saw that Mrs. Yu had been led out, and it was Concubine Ning who called her at this time.

"Concubine Ning!" Xie Xingchen stood up, slightly flustered, "Auntie..."

"Sister Concubine Xian heard that Mrs. Xie has arrived, please come and sit down." Concubine Ning said calmly: "Just stay here for a while and accompany me."

"……Yes."

Thank you Xingchen for your good health.

Concubine Ning didn't ask to sit down. She didn't know if she wanted to sit down again.

He wanted to ask He'er, but he hesitated to ask.

Concubine Ning took a sip of tea from the jade cup and slowly put it back on the table. Her eyes fell on Xie Xingchen and she looked at him briefly.

Xie Xingchen is undoubtedly a beauty.

It's just that Concubine Ning was originally from a family of officials. There was never a shortage of beauties in the upper-class aristocratic circle, so she became indifferent after seeing so many of them.

A person's appearance is given by God, but his temperament, temperament, moral integrity and talents must be cultivated by himself.

Xie Xingchen is beautiful, but Xiaojiazi is a little angry.

Let's talk about being virtuous and virtuous. I can't see it at the moment. It doesn't sound like being gentle and generous. It's really a bit rigid.

The King of Liang is a powerful man, and such a beauty...

Concubine Ning lowered her eyes, her eyelashes as long as crow feathers blocking a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

"What do you usually do at home?" Concubine Ning asked lightly.

"Reading, embroidery, piano practice, and pipa." Xie Xingchen replied carefully.

Concubine Ning nodded: "My interests are mixed, not bad... Prince Liang will arrive in Beijing in two days, so you should be well prepared."

"...Yes." Xie Xingchen's voice was slightly stiff, "I have remembered it."

"Go and see the child." Concubine Ning said.

Xie Xingchen was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Concubine Ning!"

When leaving the palace, Concubine Ning gave Xie Xingchen many rewards, which she seemed to value very much.

……

Returning to Yilanyuan, Mrs. Dou immediately rushed over: "How is it?"

"I met He'er." Xie Xingchen grabbed Mr. Dou's hands, "He has been in Concubine Ning's palace and is well taken care of. He'er told me that he is very happy every day."

Dou asked: "Then what?"

"There's nothing else..." Xie Xingchen said: "Prince Liang is coming to Beijing soon, and Concubine Ning wants me to prepare well."

Mrs. Dou was in a daze, "So you really have to marry Prince Liang, right?"

She got married and had children early, and is only 38 years old now.

It is said that King Liang was also 36 years old.

Marrying your daughter to a man who is about to become a father?
And the reputation of King Liang is not good!
Over the years, she had looked at Chu Nanxuan with all kinds of good intentions. Now that she suddenly had a new son-in-law, she felt indescribably depressed and aggrieved.
