Wen Ruqing quickly stood up to thank her and said, "I will do my best to not let the Queen down."
"Very good!" Nala nodded slightly, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she said happily: "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you for saving my life yet! If you hadn't poured tea on Nian's face,
Now I have no life to talk to you here." With that said, before Wen Ruqing could answer her words, she had already said to Jade: "On my behalf, kowtow to Lady Wen to thank her for saving her life."
Jade agreed, and just as she was about to kneel down, Wen Ruqing was already helping her up and said, "You must not do it. It is only natural for me to save my concubine. How can I dare to thank you, even if Jade girl kowtows on my behalf?"
, I can’t afford it at all. Please take back my order and don’t try to hurt me.”
Seeing that she was sincere, Nala no longer forced herself. She ordered Jade to step back and said, "No matter what, I will keep your kindness in mind and I will definitely find a way to return it to you in the future."
"My Majesty's words were serious. I didn't think much about it at that time. I just subconsciously felt that I couldn't let Nian hurt my Majesty's life. In fact, the person who really saved my Majesty was the father-in-law next to her. If he hadn't held Nian back,
Madam, if you didn’t let go even though you were injured, your Majesty is really in danger.”
Naturally, Nala knew who she was talking about, so she smiled and said, "Okay, I'm a little tired. Please step back first."
Wen Ruqing said knowingly, "I will come back tomorrow to serve the Queen and take her medicine."
After she retreated, Nala sneered and said: "It's really sad that Concubine Hui has such a sister, but it's also her own fault for being stupid and being played around by Wen Ruqing, who is more than twenty years younger.
.”
Jade said from the side: "Master really wants to help Noble Wen to rise to power?" Shu Nu said bluntly that although Noble Wen seems to be loyal to the master now, she has too many thoughts and is not as easy to control as Noble Hui. Keep her by your side.
I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the master."
"With such an ambitious person, do you think I will really trust her? She regards me as a ladder to rise to the top. Why don't I regard her as a pawn to drive a wedge between the Niu Hulu family and the Wen family? When the pawn is gone,
When you use it, you can naturally throw it away." Nala said it was natural and didn't think there was anything wrong.
There were always only two types of people in the palace, chess players or chess pieces, and Wen Ruqing was only qualified to be a chess piece.
After Nala rested for a while, he remembered something and said to Sanfu, who had been silent, "Go and call Xiao Ningzi in. I have something to say to him."
After waiting for a long time, Sanfu didn't agree or make any move. Nala frowned slightly and called out a few more times. Only then did Sanfu wake up from a dream and said, "Ah? Master, what are your orders?"
Nala said displeasedly: "I have always seen you uneasy these past two days. What is going on?"
Sanfu hurriedly lowered his body and said: "To return to the master, maybe it's because I haven't slept well these past few days, so I'm a little distracted. Please forgive me, master, I won't do it again in the future."
"That's all, go and call Xiao Ningzi in." After hearing Nala's instructions, Sanfu quickly retreated and after a while, he led Xiao Ningzi in.
When Xiao Ningzi paid his respects, Nala noticed the gauze wrapped around his hand and said, "How is the injury on your hand? Is it still tight?"
Xiao Ningzi said excitedly: "Thank you, Master, for your concern. The slave's minor injuries are already fine. However, the wounds have not yet scabbed. I was afraid of scaring the Master, so I continued to cover them with gauze."
Nala looked at him with interest and said: "You were very courageous at that time. You dared to stop me even though you were injured. I just said that Mr. Wen saved my life, but in fact you also saved my life."
You have saved my life. I have always made clear rewards and punishments. Tell me, whatever you want, I will reward you whatever the Kunning Palace has."
When Xiao Ningzi heard this, he immediately knelt down and said seriously: "Although I haven't read any books, I still know how to write the word loyalty. You are my master. It is natural for a slave to protect his master. How dare you accept it?"
reward."
Nala was quite surprised by his answer, "Are you really not interested? As long as you ask, I can reward you with gold, silver, or other valuable things."
Xiao Ningzi raised her head and said sincerely: "Thank you, Master, for your kindness, but I really don't dare to accept it. If Master really wants to reward this slave, please let him stay by his side and serve him all his life."
Of course it's not that he really doesn't want the reward, it's just gold and silver that he doesn't care about. What he wants is something else, something a hundred times more valuable than gold and silver.
"You're a slave." Nala was quite impressed by Xiao Ningzi's words. After thinking for a while, he said: "Although you don't want it, I still want to reward you. In this way, I will reward you with the same eight-year-old as Sun Mo."
Taste the eunuch."
"I thank you for your grace. I live a thousand years!" Xiao Ningzi was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him. He had declined in every possible way before, just for this kind of thing. Rank often represents power, and the same is true for eunuchs, just like Yinzhen.
He is now the first honored eunuch among the eunuchs. Many court officials would respectfully call him "Eunuch Xi" when they see him.
He tried every possible means, even at the expense of his money and suffering, to follow Nala's side, in order to use her status as queen to realize his dream of getting ahead. Instead of being a mediocre little eunuch all his life.
One day, he wants others to honor him as Eunuch Ning just like they treat Si Xi. As for gold and silver, well, as long as you have power, these things can come at your fingertips. You can get as much as you want.
Nala's reward for Xiao Ningzi made Sanfu's already poor mood even worse. He could see that Xiao Ningzi's ambition was far beyond what an eighth-grade eunuch could satisfy, and he should be targeting himself.
The position under the buttocks. But this was promised by Nala himself. How could he dare to object? Instead, he had to smile at the side.
Nala yawned and said, "Okay, all of you, please step back. I am exhausted."
After everyone bowed, they bowed and left. When they got outside, Feicui motioned Sanfu to follow her. When they reached a deserted place, Fang said: "What's wrong with you lately? You're always absent-minded. Do you know this?"
If you go down, the master will be dissatisfied with you sooner or later, especially when there is Xiao Ningzi here. You know clearly that this is an ambitious person, but you are afraid that he is coveting your position at the moment."
Sanfu kept his head down and didn't speak. Feicui felt angry when he saw this, and said in a more serious tone: "What's wrong, can't you even tell me? If that's the case, then don't come and tell me in the future.
"
Seeing her turning around to leave, Sanfu hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Jade, I...I didn't mean that, I just don't know how to say it."
