After the general's wife was reborn, everyone knelt down and begged her for mercy.

Chapter 45
Ning Ruyan shook her head: "I don't know either." Then she saluted, "Mother, I'll go back and get ready first."

Ning Ruyan didn't know much about the eldest princess of Daxia Kingdom, because she was usually very low-key, and she and the current emperor were both descended from the Queen Mother. However, after her consort died of illness a few years ago, she lived in seclusion. .

As soon as she reached the door of Wutong Courtyard, Ning Ruyan stopped, then turned and walked out.

Ning Ruyan has her own carriage, so when she travels, she basically does not use the carriage staff in the house.

"Go to Yanyu Pavilion." Ning Ruyan said after sitting down on the carriage.

The coachman, Lao Qian, didn't ask anything, just raised his whip and drove the carriage away from the general's mansion.

But what they didn't know was that someone was following behind them.

Arriving at the back door of Yanyu Pavilion, Ning Ruyan motioned to Lao Qian to knock on the door.

Soon someone opened the back door: "Who are you looking for?"

"Look for the commander."

The boy guarding the door looked at Old Qian and the carriage behind him: "Can you see my master if you want to see me?" After saying this, he immediately closed the door.

"Brother, if you are not here, please look for Li Jiu." Ning Ruyan got out of the car.

When the boy looked at Ning Ruyan, his eyes flashed and he nodded slightly: "Wait." Then he turned around and went in.

Soon, Li Jiu came out: "Miss Ning, your Excellency is not here."

"When will he come back?" Ning Ruyan frowned.

"It's hard to say." Li Jiu shook his head.

Ning Ruyan took a deep breath, then turned and left.

But Jiang Yan stood on the Yanyu Tower watching the carriage leave. He didn't go out at all, he just didn't want to see her for the time being.

"Why don't you see her?" Yuli walked over.

"She came to me for sure about tomorrow's banquet. I want her to attend, so why do I need to meet?"

"But aren't you afraid that people in the palace will eat her?"

"If you can't even handle this, how can you be qualified to stand by my side?"

"What about Princess Qicai? Are you really not moved at all? If you marry her, it will be equivalent to taking control of Beida Camp..."

Jiang Yan smiled: "As long as I think about it, what does Beidaying mean?"

Youli's eyes flashed for a moment, but he said nothing more.

The next day, after Ning Ruyan packed up, she took Bai Zhi out and asked Banxia to keep an eye on Wutong Courtyard.

When they arrived at the front hall, Mrs. Huo had already brought Jiang Mingyue and was waiting here. Jiang Mingyue was a concubine and she was already 11 years old. Soon it was time to talk about the marriage. This time she brought her into the palace to see her. See if there is a chance to climb a high branch.

"Let's go." Huo glanced at Ning Ruyan, then turned around and walked out, the unhappiness in his brows and eyes was very obvious.

Ning Ruyan pretended not to see him and followed him out of the gate of the general's mansion.

Although it was still some time before entering the palace, many married women had already gathered at the entrance of the palace.

Carriages cannot enter the palace. They have to enter the palace gate on foot here, and then take a palace car to the harem.

Ning Ruyan's appearance instantly attracted a lot of people's attention, and some were even pointing, why is she here?

Huo felt embarrassed instantly and quietly stayed away from her.

Ning Ruyan pretended not to notice, sitting steadily on the carriage waiting to enter the palace. "Mrs. Jiang, my eldest princess invites you to come over and talk." At this moment, an aunt who looked like a palace maid came over and reported outside the carriage.

Ning Ruyan hurriedly got out of the car: "Thank you, auntie."

The eldest princess's car has a very luxurious frame, and there is a token hanging on the roof. This car can enter the palace directly.

"I've met the eldest princess." Ning Ruyan saluted under the carriage.

"Come up and talk." The eldest princess gestured.

Ning Ruyan was helped into the carriage by her servants. After entering the carriage, she saw a beautiful young woman leaning on the carriage shaft, and she hurriedly saluted again.

"Sit down." The eldest princess gestured. When Ning Ruyan sat down, she couldn't help but smile, "Are you curious why I invite you to the palace banquet?"

Ning Ruyan nodded.

"Because you and I are both widows." The eldest princess sat up straight and looked Ning Ruyan up and down, "Maybe we can have something in common?"

"Thank you, eldest princess, for your love." Ning Ruyan didn't know how to answer. After all, is being a widow a good thing?

"Haha." The eldest princess smiled, and then she said nothing more. The whole carriage fell into a strange silence.

Fortunately, after a while, there were eunuchs singing outside, and the wives could enter the palace.

Ning Ruyan wanted to get out of her carriage, but the eldest princess didn't speak, so she could only sit on the foot of the carriage obediently and follow the carriage directly into the palace.

The rest of the married women were either envious or jealous. In short, they all had complicated expressions. The most complicated one was Huo. She was obviously Ning Ruyan's elder, but...

Outside Kunning Palace, the eldest princess got off the carriage and glanced at Ning Ruyan: "Just wait here, the Queen will summon you later."

"Yes." Ning Ruyan saluted.

The eldest princess was supported by the palace maid and took the lead into Kunning Palace.

"Ning." Huo rushed over, "When did you and the eldest princess have such a good relationship?"

"Mother, my daughter-in-law doesn't know." Ning Ruyan frowned, "Besides, the affairs of the Tian family are not something we can comment on. If you are curious, why don't you ask the eldest princess later and ask her why she wants to follow me? Speak and take me into the palace."

"you……"

"The Queen has a decree to announce that everyone will come to see you."

Huo could only shut up, and then lined up according to the size of the decree and entered the Kunning Palace.

Empress Yue and Emperor Xia Wen were a young couple. They followed Emperor Xia Wen when he was still a prince, and later became the crown princess and then the queen.

Although Emperor Xia Wen had many beauties in his harem, he still respected the queen very much.

After everyone saluted, Ning Ruyan quietly raised her eyes and glanced at the woman in the high position, feeling a little complicated.

Empress Yue gave birth to a son and a daughter to Emperor Xia Wen. Although the son ranked second, he was the legitimate prince and the definite heir apparent in the future.

And Jiang Yan is his reading companion.

Just two years ago, the direct prince Xia Qiulin was accidentally poisoned. Although it was not life-threatening in the end, he became blind.

Despite this, Jiang Yan had been looking for an antidote for him, and finally found it. Xia Qiulin returned to normal and was named the prince. However, the first thing he did was to deal with Jiang Yan because he was too powerful. It was so big that the queen and the prince were afraid.

In her previous life, although she had not seen it with her own eyes, she knew that the poisonous wine served to Jiang Yan came from the hands of the Queen Yue.

Then in this life... should we remind him not to make the same mistakes again?
