The voice was still cold, but she did not use Xiao Nizi's usual condescension. "The person in the sedan chair is Concubine Wen. She is anxious to see the emperor. My lords, please step aside."
...
The group of people disappeared at the end of Qinzheng Hall, and Chang Ning stood up.
A colleague next to me asked doubtfully, "Concubine Wen? How come you haven't heard of her before? I seem to remember that there was a concubine named Tan." [
"This empress was named a noble concubine just a few days ago. I heard that she was just a concubine living in the most remote and simple Zixia Palace. Alas, we can't think clearly about the affairs of the Tian family. As long as the emperor likes it, I will do it immediately.
It’s not unusual to be a queen.”
"It's over, it's over. If you dare to talk nonsense at the gate of Qinzheng Hall, I'm not afraid that His Majesty will find out and pull out your tongue."
The ministers dispersed and spread out, being restrained and not saying anything more.
Chang Ning, on the other hand, was completely stunned on the spot.
Concubine Wen turned out to be the concubine of Zixia Palace. Isn't that the benefactor who the Imperial Preceptor said a few days ago begged the emperor to save his life, and also persuaded the emperor to send an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat his beloved wife at home?
He always looked forward to the day when he could thank the kind empress in person, but he didn't expect that what he just passed by was the empress's sedan chair.
Today, His Majesty is hosting a banquet in honor of the ministers who have successfully controlled the floods. Empress Wen was summoned at this time, most likely to accompany the Emperor.
That means that after a while, he might see with his own eyes the concubine of Zixia Palace who saved his whole family.
His heart was shaking inexplicably, and he couldn't return to normal. Chang Ning walked around in circles for a few times, taking deep breaths and then taking deep breaths to suppress his excitement.
The kindness of receiving a little water from others should be repaid with a spring of water, not to mention the great kindness of saving a life.
The eunuch who delivered the order conveyed the emperor's instructions in a shrill voice, and all the ministers sat down at the table.
A colleague gently tugged on Chang Ning's official robe, pulling him back from his thoughts, "Mr. Chang, are you feeling hungry after waiting for too long? You actually got distracted in front of the Qinzheng Hall."
