The golden and jade of the peasant girl in charge

Chapter 479 Entering the palace late at night to investigate (1)
However, after waiting for a long time, the two of them never came back. Ning Ci kept the fish soup on the stove to keep warm. She, Xiao Yuer and her two younger siblings were also guarding the fish soup. It seemed that Ning Ci was teaching them how to cook fish soup. She was not affected in the slightest by what the princess said today.

At night, King Ning finally brought Jiang Chengye back.

"My lord, is everything settled?" The concubine led Yang Minru out to greet her.

King Ning looked solemn, and said to the princess: "Where is Xiaoci?"

Ning Ci?The princess seemed to sense something was wrong: "What is the prince looking for?"

Jiang Chengye has already taken the lead in looking for someone: "I'll look for her."

Before Yang Minru could say a word to Jiang Chengye, Yang Minru could only see the man walking away quickly.The princess was a little dissatisfied: "My lord, look at Cheng Ye's current appearance. It's better to decide this matter as soon as possible."

King Ning waved his hand: "Don't worry about this matter, let's solve the other matter first."

another thing?Obviously, it has been said that the top priority is to resolve Cheng Ye's marriage, why is there another matter to be resolved?The princess was full of doubts: "My lord, what happened?"

King Ning glanced at Wangfei: "The queen mother has an accident, and the palace is in chaos now, and there is no time to estimate these things."

Something happened to the Queen Mother! ?

"I won't do it! I entered the palace a few days ago, and the queen mother is alive and well!" The princess was startled, with a bad premonition.

King Ning waved his hand: "Let Xiaoci enter the palace first, and I will discuss this matter with you later."

It was already evening when King Ning and Jiang Chengye came back, but at such a late hour, they wanted to invite Ning Ci into the palace in a hurry, and got involved with the Queen Mother. No matter what Princess Jing thought, she felt uneasy.

When Jiang Chengye found Ning Ci, she was about to coax Xiao Yuer to sleep. Jin Yumantang was going to the Imperial College to go to school tomorrow, and Ning Ci said while arranging the little things they needed, "Why did you come back so late."

Jiang Chengye took a step forward and pulled Ning Ci to his side: "When I was not around, did mother ever look for you?"

Ning Ci nodded and smiled: "Yeah, I came to see me. I talked about the rules of the palace, and I also said that I should abide by the rules in the future, so that the family and everything can be prosperous."

Jiang Chengye looked at his sleeping son behind him: "Ning Ci, the emperor wants to call you into the palace, and that's the time."

Enter the palace?Ning Ci raised her eyebrows slightly, she looked at Jiang Chengye's slightly cold face, stretched out her hand and pinched his face: "Why such a face, it's just entering the palace, it's not sending you to death."

Jiang Chengye pursed his lips: "The Empress Dowager is in poor health. Elder Liu Ge returned to Beijing and recommended you to the emperor."

It turned out to be the case.Ning Ci came to a sudden, and explained: "I was in Dongqiao Town before, and I did take care of Elder Liu Ge's body. Both the Empress Dowager and Elder Ge are old, and it is inevitable that they will get sick. They are just taking care of them. You don't have to worry about them."

Due to the urgency of time, Jiang Chengye didn't talk to her too much. When he went out, Ning Ci stopped King Ning who was going to accompany him: "Father has been traveling for a long time today. Since he is going to the palace to take care of the queen mother, even if father goes, he will not When I go inside, I can go with Cheng Ye, and my father doesn't have to run around with me anymore, the concubine's mother has been worrying about my father for a whole day today, so my father should stay in the mansion and have a good rest."

King Ning's entry into the palace today was indeed for Jiang Chengye's marriage, but he didn't expect the marriage to fail, and the troubles came to the palace.The Empress Dowager's body has been a little ill for the past few years, and the Emperor has attached great importance to it. If it is well taken care of, it will be a matter of glory, but if there is a mistake, the consequences will be unpredictable.

After learning the reasons and consequences of Ning Ci's entry into the palace, Princess Jing was more worried than King Ning.

"This is simply nonsense! Why did you let her enter the palace? If something goes wrong, what should I do if Cheng Ye's temperament drags down the entire palace? My lord, Cheng Ye is confused and ignorant, and even you can't see it." Clear up the overall situation?"

In fact, how can you not understand?They don't know how much Ning Ci's abilities are. Cheng Ye won the battle, and his generals were convinced by him. If there is no accident, after the generals of the Jing family, Cheng Ye will be better than blue.He will become the reliance of Prince Ning's Mansion in the future, but at the same time, he will also make enemies openly and secretly.They don't know whether Liu Ge is always black or white, but he recommended Ning Ci to the palace to take care of the queen mother, which is an adventure for the palace.

"Don't worry too much. Since the Empress Dowager is ill, no one can say what will happen next. Maybe the Emperor just let Xiaoci enter the palace to recuperate the Empress Dowager's body. As a courtier's wife, Xiaoci can do everything. Not much, maybe even if there is a mistake in the future, she can't be blamed, just wait and see." King Ning was also a little helpless, even he didn't expect the emperor to have such a meaning, but now he has entered the palace , They can do nothing but wait quietly.

On this side, Jiang Chengye brought Ning Ci into the palace.

Although it was already late at night, the road from the gate of the palace was brightly lit, and the gate of the palace had already had eunuchs waiting to guide the way.

"The empress dowager felt very unwell tonight. She couldn't eat all the imperial food that was sent to her. The emperor was so worried that she hadn't been able to go to bed until now. The emperor recommended the girl to the palace, and hoped that the girl would let the empress dowager eat. The imperial meal The room is ready for the girl, please go ahead, girl." The little eunuch was respectful and polite, and looked very kind.

Jiang Chengye squeezed Ning Ci's hand, motioning for her to answer, Ning Ci was silent for a while, and said, "I wonder if it's convenient for the eunuch to take Ning Ci to see the Queen Mother's current condition? Eating is the same as seeing a doctor. If Ning Ci only cooks food based on his own imagination, I'm afraid it will be difficult to satisfy the Queen Mother."

The little eunuch seemed a little embarrassed: "But... but the emperor is now accompanying the queen mother in the bedroom, girl, you..."

Ning Ci was very insistent: "I'd better trouble my father-in-law to inform you first."

"I understand." The little eunuch bowed to accept the order, asked Ning Ci to wait for a while, and ran to report by himself.

Surrounded by court ladies and eunuchs holding palace lanterns, Ning Ci leaned against Jiang Chengye and asked softly, "How old is the queen mother?"

Jiang Chengye thought for a while, and said, "The current Holy Majesty is the Empress Dowager who has a son in her later years, and next month will be the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday."

This surprised Ning Ci. Jiang Yan was only in his 20s, but the Queen Mother was almost 60 years old. Women in ancient times were married as wives before they reached adulthood, and their physical functions were not mature yet. There are many things that I didn’t pay attention to when I was young, and they were always very short-lived. The queen mother is almost 60 years old now, which means that she gave birth to Jiang Yan in her 30s. The intrigue in the palace compound can be imagined even if you don’t experience it for yourself. out.Under such an environment, the queen mother can still let Jiang Yan ascend the throne of the emperor all the way, which can be seen from the heartache and hardship.And the emperor wanted to call them into the palace urgently at this time, thinking that this mother would be very precious to him.
