After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 216 The Big Villain

Father Lu and Mother Lu were startled, but then nodded.

Fu Nanxiu's reaction just now said everything.

He didn't care about Shuangshuang.

If he had meant it, even if he was feeling unwell, he would not have lost his composure and left without even saying a greeting.

Besides, they were not stupid, they could see that being unwell was just his excuse.

Now that things have come to this, the marriage can naturally be abandoned.

Fortunately, the two families have not officially discussed marriage.

Father Lu and Mother Lu were fine, but Lu Shuangshuang's complexion turned frosty white.

She glanced at the direction Fu Nanxiu left and tightened the handkerchief in her hand.

She didn't understand that Fu Nanxiu wanted to marry her so much when they had never met before. Why did he have such an attitude now that they had met?

Doesn't Fu Nanxiu like her appearance?
Or maybe she dislikes her rural background?
Is she that bad?
It has to be said that Lu Shuangshuang had self-doubt because of Fu Nanxiu.

Seeing her like this, Mother Lu knew what she was thinking. She sighed inwardly and shook her hand, silently comforting her.

At this time, Qiao Jingjing felt very uneasy.

Because just now, she also discovered something strange about Fu Nanxiu.

And his abnormality was obviously because of her.

It was also at this time that she suddenly remembered that she had met Fu Nanxiu.

That was when she first arrived in the capital.

Because she only met once briefly, she forgot about it afterwards.

But now it seems that the other party still remembers her.

She carefully sorted out what happened that day in her mind, and after thinking that she had not done anything inappropriate, she relaxed a little.

But since she didn't do anything misleading, why did Fu Nanxiu react like that just now?
Qiao Jingjing was confused.

"Go in." Lu Xingzhi said.

Several people nodded.

After entering the palace gate, Lu Xingzhi took his family to Cining Palace to meet the Queen Mother.

After the eunuch announced the news, some eunuchs came out and led a few people in.

Qiao Jingjing followed Lu Xingzhi. Although she didn't raise her head, from the corner of her eye, she could still see several people sitting on the seats in the middle of the hall.

She only thought they were officials' family members, so she didn't take them seriously.

"I have met the Queen Mother, the eldest princess, and His Highness Prince Ning."

Qiao Jingjing was horrified when she heard the words "His Royal Highness Prince Ning".

King Ning?

The main villain in the original book?
Qiao Jingjing suppressed the shock in her heart and bowed down.

"I have met the Queen Mother, the eldest princess, and His Highness Prince Ning."

"No courtesy." The Empress Dowager looked kindly and raised her hand.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." After several people thanked them, they stood up.

"Come, take a seat." The Empress Dowager continued.

Immediately someone from the palace brought a chair.

Lu Xingzhi and others sat down on the chairs.

The Empress Dowager looked at several people one by one.

Especially Lu’s father, Lu’s mother and Lu Shuangshuang.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

When she saw the appearance and temperament of the three people clearly, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Although judging from the outstanding appearance of the brothers Lu Xingzhi and Lu Xingyan, we can guess that the parents who gave birth to them must also be extraordinary in appearance.

But when she actually saw it, the Queen Mother was quite surprised.

Moreover, Lu Shuangshuang was also as beautiful as a flower, and he did not disappoint her.

But Father Lu and Mother Lu were really from the countryside? Not only did the Queen Mother have doubts in her heart, but the eldest princess was also extremely surprised.

This Lu family is truly outstanding.

When Shangguan Xueer saw Lu Shuangshuang's appearance, jealousy flashed across her eyes.

It's really annoying that a village girl can be so beautiful.

When the Empress Dowager and others were looking at Lu's father and mother, Qiao Jingjing was keenly aware that a line of sight fell on her.

She paused, raised her head, and met a pair of smiling eyes.

Those eyes are very beautiful, with a smile in them. When looking at people, they give people a feeling of affection.

The owner of the eyes is none other than Prince Ning.

When Prince Ning saw her, not only did he not shy away, but he raised the corners of his lips and smiled meaningfully.

Qiao Jingjing frowned imperceptibly and avoided his gaze.

The original owner didn't know Prince Ning, but why did Prince Ning look at her like that?
Could it be related to Shen Tingzhi?
But Shen Tingzhi died long ago.

What does King Ning want to do?
While thinking about it, she saw the Empress Dowager waving to Lu Shuangshuang, "Come here."

Lu Shuangshuang was still thinking about meeting Fu Nanxiu outside the palace gate, and did not react for a while.

It was Mother Lu who pushed her, and she came back to her senses, stood up and stepped forward, "The Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother was very satisfied when she saw that she did not show any timidity.

This girl from the Lu family is really nice.

Conduct yourself in a moderate manner and have appropriate etiquette.

She said with a kind face: "Sit next to Ai Jia."

As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Xueer's expression changed, and Lu Xingzhi and others also frowned lightly.

Lu Shuangshuang hesitated and said cautiously: "Shuangshuang doesn't dare."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "Why don't you dare? If the Aijia asks you to sit, you can sit down."

When Lu Shuangshuang heard this, she glanced at Lu Xingzhi, and when her brother nodded, she felt relieved and sat down next to the Empress Dowager, but she only dared to sit a little.

She felt extremely uneasy.

Today was the first time she entered the palace and saw the Empress Dowager for the first time. It was impossible not to feel nervous. Especially the Empress Dowager's appraising eyes made her feel at a loss.

In the past, she always wanted to break into the circle of noble ladies in the capital, become a sought-after object, and attract all kinds of limelight. But after experiencing so many things, she has long since become sober and has taken this kind of thing lightly.

When she entered the palace today, she did not seek to be in the limelight, but she sought to have no faults. She also kept in mind Qiao Jingjing's words, say less and make less mistakes.

Thinking of this, she felt relieved a lot.

No matter what, her parents, brother and sister-in-law are all here.

Even if something happened, they would still help her.

Thinking about it this way, she felt more calm.

When the Empress Dowager saw that the girl in front of her was sitting with her, she was not timid, generous and frank, and she couldn't help but like her even more.

She nodded with satisfaction and suddenly said to Prince Ning who was drinking tea: "Jing'er, what do you think of Miss Lu?"

Prince Ning did not expect the Empress Dowager to ask such a question. He paused, glanced at Lu Shuangshuang, and said pertinently: "Miss Lu is beautiful and gentle, and Master Lu has a good way of teaching his sister."

This sentence praised both Lu Shuangshuang and Lu Xingzhi.

Lu Xingzhi frowned unnoticeably, "I made Prince Ning laugh."

Qiao Jingjing finally understood why the Empress Dowager suddenly summoned Father Lu and Mother Lu.

Seeing this situation, the Empress Dowager took a special look at both of them, fearing that it was not for the Emperor to choose a concubine, but because she wanted to help Prince Ning.

Realizing this, Qiao Jingjing felt very worried.

As a villain, Prince Ning would be in trouble if he had anything to do with him.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager then spoke again: "Jing'er, since you think Miss Lu is good, why not Aijia do it for you today..."

"The Emperor has arrived!"

At this moment, the palace people's singing suddenly sounded outside the door, interrupting the Queen Mother's unspoken words at the right time.

Qiao Jingjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
