Chapter 190: Entering the palace to see the saint 9
When Nangong Zimei came to Jixin Palace, the emperor had not arrived yet.
"Second Miss, please stand here and wait for a while. The Emperor and Queen should be here soon!" the eunuch explained to Nangong Zimei.
After hearing this, Nangong Zimei nodded. Then, she stood there politely.
After a quarter of an hour, Nangong Zimei began to feel impatient.
"The Emperor has arrived, the Queen has arrived!" At this moment, a eunuch's shout was heard coming from not far away.
After hearing this, Nangong Zimei immediately straightened her face and stood aside, waiting for the arrival of the emperor and empress.
Not long after, Emperor Xuanyuan Wenchen came to the palace with Queen Li Rubing.
"Slave, please see your Majesty. Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty! Thousands of years live the Queen!"
"Slave, please see your Majesty. Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty! Thousands of years ago, the Queen!" All the maids and eunuchs in the palace knelt down. Only Nangong Zimei was still standing there.
Nangong Zimei really didn't want to kneel down in front of them, so she followed her own will and did not kneel down.
After the palace maids and eunuchs had finished speaking, Nangong Zimei slightly bent towards Xuanyuan Wenchen and Li Rubing and said: "Nangong Zimei has seen the emperor, may the emperor live long live; has seen the empress, may the empress live forever.
Wish you all the best!"
The two of them glanced at Nangong Zimei at the same time, but they didn't blame her.
"Ping Shen!" Xuanyuan Wenchen looked at Nangong Zimei and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Nangong Zimei finished speaking, she stood up straight.
Xuanyuan Wenchen took a deep look at Nangong Zimei, then turned his gaze to the other people kneeling in the hall, and said: "They are all even!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone expressed their thanks and stood up.
"Are you Nangong Zimei, the second young lady of the Nangong family?" After everyone stood up, Li Rubing looked at Nangong Zimei and asked.
At this time, Nangong Zimei still lowered her head, so neither she nor the emperor could see Nangong Zimei's face clearly.
"Yes!" Nangong Zimei replied neither humble nor overbearing.
"Sit!" Li Rubing was quite satisfied with Nangong Zimei's performance.
"Thank you, Queen!" Nangong Zimei thanked her and sat down.
After Nangong Zimei sat down, Xuanyuan Wenchen looked at Nangong Zimei and said, "Raise your head and let me see!"
When Li Rubing heard this, his eyes immediately shot towards Nangong Zimei.
Aware of their gazes, Nangong Zimei suddenly felt a very uncomfortable feeling in her heart. It was as if she was a monkey in a zoo that was allowed to be watched by others.
Sighing deeply, Nangong Zimei suppressed the emotion in her eyes and then raised her head with a calm face.
Presumably, Xuanyuan Wenchen and Li Rubing must have heard about her disfigurement, so they specially summoned her into the palace to check whether it was true or not?
In fact, before she entered the palace, she had already guessed it when she heard that the emperor specially asked her to come to the banquet alone!
But, who told the emperor about her disfigurement?
Xuanyuan Jue? No, if Xuanyuan Wenchen and Li Rubing hadn't taken the initiative to ask, I don't think he would have taken the initiative to mention this matter.
Who could it be?
Not many servants in the mansion knew about her disfigurement. Even if they wanted to tell the emperor and empress about it, it wouldn't be that easy!
Then...who could it be?
An idea suddenly flashed in Nangong Zimei's mind, and she immediately figured out the key point!!
