"Princess Jing, the Empress has summoned you, please follow me into the palace immediately!" Eunuch Su, a popular figure in the palace, said in a high-pitched voice.
Jingjing Wan understood that trouble was coming, and immediately said: "Okay, thank you, father-in-law!"
This time we went not to the Chengde Hall, but to the Fengluan Hall, which is the Queen's dormitory.
Regarding the Queen, Ning Jingwan always felt that she had an inexplicable and deliberate closeness to her.
And the palace, in Tranquility Wan's heart, is no longer as strange and solemn as before.
Jingjing Wan looked at the elegant empress who was sitting high on the phoenix throne. She was wearing a red gold and silver silk court dress embroidered with phoenixes and phoenixes, with large peonies embroidered on both sleeves. She was unparalleled in beauty and had a pair of sharp and charming red phoenix eyes.
With a smile, she looked at Jingjing Wan affectionately.
Jingjing Wan knelt down and said, "My son, please bow to your mother!"
Today's queen was dressed so formally and solemnly, Jingjing Wan knew that she was probably going to have an operation on her.
Sure enough, the queen did not let herself get up as before. Instead, she stood up slowly under the care of Eunuch Su, and walked slowly to Ning Jingwan's side, still smiling and saying nothing.
Jingjing Wan lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes covering her flowing eyes. Grandpa said that when the situation is unclear, you should be especially calm and don't let the other person see your inner fluctuations.
In this world, everything that has been understood is never scary. Only the things that are unknown can make people fearful. Once a person feels fear, he has already lost half of his opponent. If he continues to move forward, it will be difficult.
"Princess Jing!" Finally, the Queen spoke slowly, "I have heard some things about you recently!"
Tranquility Wan responds to all changes by remaining unchanged, "My son and minister are stupid, please let me know clearly!"
The Empress grew up in many years of palace fighting, and of course she had skills and shrewdness that were different from ordinary people. She could neither like nor dislike Jing Jing Wan, who almost became her nephew-in-law and Qing'er's first wife.
At first, she discussed with her brother Jing Guogong and Prime Minister Mu Fang to let Qing'er marry Ning Wan, the eldest daughter of Jinxiu Villa, and bring the world's wealth to the Mu family. Who knew that Ning Jing Wan was not that simple?
Ning Tianze's granddaughter is actually Prince Jiang's biological daughter.
Just at this time, Ning Ning Wan recognized her ancestor and returned to the clan and entered Prince Jiang's mansion. However, in order to compensate Ning Ning Wan for losing her father's love for many years, Prince Jiang actually asked the emperor to make Ning Ning Wan the little princess.
The Empress was overjoyed. Ning Jing Wanruo was just the eldest daughter of Jinxiu Villa. Qing'er married her with a somewhat unfair reputation and improper family background. The Mu family was the highest-ranking family in Fenglin Kingdom. Qing'er married her.
As the eldest son of the Mu family, how could he marry an untitled and low-status businessman's daughter?
What a God-given opportunity, Ning Jing Wan is no longer an ordinary civilian girl, but has become a small princess. In this way, it is logical for Qing'er to marry Ning Jing Wan, and the eldest son of the Mu family marries the young princess of Prince Jiang's palace. They are a perfect match.
Of course they have heard of Ning Jing Wan's bad reputation, but who cares? What the Mu family values is the wealth behind Ning Jing Wan, not Ning Jing Wan herself!
As for whether Jing Jing Wan is beautiful or ugly, virtuous or evil, it doesn't matter. Once you enter the Mu family, don't even think about letting her go!
Of course, Qing'er is the young master of the Mu family. He is young and promising, has a beautiful tree in the wind, and is amazingly charming. Having such a wife is somewhat aggrieved to Qing'er. However, Ning Tianze is old and has more than enough ambition but not enough energy.
There is no other heir. As long as the Mu family successfully obtains the wealth of Jinxiu Villa, Ning Jingwan will be dispensable. Whether she lives or dies will all depend on the wishes of the Mu family!
If she knew what she was doing and could eat and die in peace, the Mu family would be happy to keep her alive and keep her comfortable for the rest of her life. If she didn't know what she was doing, the royal family and the wealthy family would want a person to disappear quietly in this world.
There are too many methods in the world. It’s not the Mu family’s fault. She can only blame herself for not knowing what’s good and what’s good!
As for the wealth of Jinxiu Villa, it was a matter of course that they changed their surnames. This time, the Mu family was able to enjoy the success, and the wealth that the Ning family had worked hard for for decades belonged to the Mu family.
This deal is not a loss at all, and Qing'er is a person with general knowledge, and will not mind Ning Jing Wan's bad reputation like ordinary young masters from aristocratic families. Qing'er, like his father and aunt, knows what he wants.
It is Jinxiu Villa, not Tranquil Wan.
Why not give Tranquility Wan a false reputation in exchange for wealth that is the richest in the world? Qing'er has a long-term vision and will not only value immediate interests like those playboys!
The Empress has already secretly arranged everything. She has even prepared the Queen's decree: Jiang Jingwan, the young princess of Prince Jiang's Mansion, is skillful and generous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding appearance. The palace is very pleased to hear that, and she and Mu Lanqing, the son of Duke Jing, are a match made in heaven.
In order to achieve the beauty of a beautiful woman, the young princess Jiang Jingwan was specially betrothed to Mu Lanqing as his wife. All the etiquette was handed over to the Ministry of Rites and Si Tianjian to jointly arrange the marriage at a favorable time.
Unexpectedly, before the edict was issued, news came from the court the next day. The emperor issued an edict in court. Jiang Jingwan, the young princess of Prince Jiang's Mansion, respectfully and sensitively conferred the title of Princess Jing, Prince Fengjunhan, to the second prince.
Get married at a good time.
The queen regretted endlessly. After all, she was one step too late for the emperor. The emperor undoubtedly saw the Mu family's move and made a prompt decision, snatching Tranquility Wan away and marrying him to Prince Jing. Of course, the queen was unwilling to do so.
Who doesn't know that whoever can marry Ning Jingwan will get the wealth of Jinxiu Villa? And the emperor is also thinking about this!
Although she was a step slower, the queen had other concerns in her mind. Ning Jingwan was so unbearable, but Prince Jing was famous for being noble and handsome. As a prince, he might not be willing to wrong her like Qing'er. How could Prince Jing see this?
Going to Tranquil Wan?
The Mu family fell in love with Ning Jing Wan, and the emperor also fell in love with Ning Ning Wan. The difference was that Qing'er willingly agreed to marry Ning Jing Wan for the sake of the family's interests, while Prince Jing was obviously forced to marry Ning Jing Wan, and the queen did not
Urgent, even if Prince Jing marries Ning Jingwan, things may change, so don’t be too anxious!
The development of the matter was not beyond the Queen's expectation. Prince Jing really disliked the notorious Ning Jingwan. On the night of the wedding, he left the capital without even entering the bridal chamber, showing his dissatisfaction with the marriage.
When the queen saw Ning Ning Wan for the first time, she didn't have much feeling. In her heart, Ning Ning Wan was synonymous with Splendid Villa. It didn't matter whether she was a beautiful lady or an ugly one.
And Ning Jingwan was just like the legend, ignorant, awkward, and had never seen any big scenes. When he saw her for the first time, he actually forgot to kneel down to worship the empress of the world.
The emperor knew clearly that Prince Jing was resisting the marriage, but he pretended not to know and was indifferent.
But later, things gradually developed beyond her expectation. Prince Jing seemed to have changed his mind about Ning Jing Wan. It can be seen from Yan'er's worries that the queen and Duke Jing had the same worries about Yan'er, her niece, and expressed her affection for Prince Jing.
If it's too deep, it's probably not a good thing.
At this time, rumors about Princess Jing being an illegitimate daughter actually spread, and even reached the palace. Who is the queen? Of course she knew that someone was behind this. Ning Jingwan's life experience could not withstand scrutiny at all, as long as
If anyone wants to check it out, it will naturally be easy to find out.
The queen was secretly proud that Ning Jing Wan's mother was pregnant before marriage. Ning Jing Wan was an illegitimate daughter. This was equivalent to a slap in the face of the royal family. The shameful illegitimate daughter actually became the little princess conferred by the emperor.
, and became the noble Princess Jing. The emperor thought Tranquility Wan was a treasure, but now it has become a hot potato.
She wants wealth, but the royal family wants face even more. The Queen is now watching with cold eyes to see how this drama will end for the Emperor!
I heard that when the court went to court this morning, an admonishment official had already reported that Princess Jing’s wife’s moral conduct was lacking and her family background was a disgrace to the royal family. In order to save the royal family’s face, they requested that Princess Jing’s title and concubine title be revoked!
Naturally, the queen cannot go to the court to participate in politics. After listening to what Duke Jingguo said, there were so many people who made suggestions that the emperor was furious, so he temporarily gave up. However, many people secretly slandered that Feng Linguo attaches great importance to the integrity of women, and women who are immoral are shameless.
How can I be Princess Jing if I can't hold my head up for the rest of my life?
However, there has been no movement from Prince Jing's side. He neither said anything nor asked the emperor to leave Tranquility Wan. He remained silent, giving people a feeling of being unable to figure it out.
It stands to reason that Prince Jing's attitude is crucial, because the current controversy over whether to abolish Princess Jing's Ning Jing Wan is Prince Jing's woman. Even if the emperor really wants to abolish Ning Jing Wan, he must consider Prince Jing's attitude.
The Mu family helped along the way. During this period, the petitions for the abolition of Princess Jing were continuously sent to the imperial study!
"Come, Jingwan, get up and give me a good look!" The queen's voice suddenly became gentle.
Ning Jing Wan stood up and the Queen looked at Princess Jing in front of her. She was as bright as spring flowers and as bright as the autumn moon. She was dressed in fluttering purple clothes, with long hair flowing down. Her purple clothes were like flowers, and her skin was better than snow. She was indescribably beautiful and elegant.
.
An imperceptible smile flashed in the Queen's eyes, and she said kindly: "Jing Wan is really a beauty!"
Jingjing Wan lowered her eyes, "Compared with the empress's heavenly and human appearance, Jingwan is just as beautiful as a willow tree, and cannot reach the level of elegance!"
The Queen suddenly sighed: "In the final analysis, this is not your fault, but why are you responsible for all these consequences!"
Jingjing Wan remained calm, "I don't quite understand what my mother means!"
The Queen Empress sighed: "You have lived in Prince Jing's Mansion for a long time. I'm afraid you don't know that the Emperor is worried about you now!"
Jing Jingwan was surprised and said: "My son's matter? What matter? Please let me know clearly!"
The Empress said: "Although it is not your fault, if you stay in the royal family, it will eventually affect the royal family's face. I am located in the middle palace, my mother is responsible for the world, and I am responsible for the morality of women in the world. Of course I have to set an example!"
The Queen's words were extremely gentle and helpless, but Jing Jingwan knew that the Queen was just laughing in her heart. She had always hoped that Prince Jing would divorce her.
Ning Jing Wan was silent, but her heartbeat was fluctuating. They were all putting pressure on Feng Junhan to divorce her, but Ning Jing Wan knew that Feng Junhan would never divorce her anyway. If he really
He divorced himself, but he got what he wanted.
Seeing Jing Jing Wan bite her lips and remain silent, the Queen smiled lightly and said: "Jing Wan, no matter what, I will not ignore you. I have always liked you, and you are my own."
Daughter-in-law, don’t worry, I will never sit idly by and ignore this matter!"
The Queen Mother's words were very cryptic, but Jing Jing Wan could understand them and pretended not to understand, "My son, I thank my mother!"
"Mr. Mu, please see the Queen!" came the high-pitched voice of the chambermaid from outside.
The Queen showed a slight smile and said, "Pass!"
Mu Lanqing, who was wearing a third-grade official uniform, slowly entered the Fengluan Hall and said, "My nephew, please see the Queen!"
As if he had just discovered that Ning Jing Wan was there, he bowed slightly towards Ning Jing Wan and said, "I'd like to see you, Princess Jing!"
Jingjing Wan nodded, "Master Mu!"
The Queen was very happy when she saw Qing'er coming, "Qing'er is here, you don't have to be polite to your aunt, just sit down!"
"Thank you, aunt!"
The Queen took a sip of tea and said, "Qing'er hasn't been in the palace to accompany my aunt for a long time. She has even forgotten about this old woman!"
Mu Lanqing smiled and said: "My aunt's style has remained the same for twenty years, how can she age? My nephew is really busy with official duties recently, so he has less time to come to Fengluan Hall. Please forgive me!"
The Queen smiled softly, "You will make my aunt happy!"
Mu Lanqing said: "My nephew doesn't dare!"
Jingjing Wan's long eyelashes covered her flowing eyes, she stood up, bowed and said: "Empress, I will leave, I don't dare to disturb the Empress and Madam Mu!"
Mu Lanqing's face changed slightly, and the Queen Mother said: "The same goes for this girl Jingwan. She doesn't come to the palace to accompany me on weekdays. She just came now and she made a fuss and wanted to leave soon. Do you think she dislikes this old woman?"
Boring?"
Jingjing Wan hurriedly knelt down, "I don't dare, I'm afraid of disturbing the conversation between Queen Mother and Lord Mu!"
The Empress smiled lightly, "It's nothing important, just small things. Jingwan, we don't treat you as an outsider, so there's no need to see you outside!"
Jingjing Wan lowered her eyes, "Yes!"
The Empress said calmly to the waiter beside her: "Time flies so fast. Before you know it, it's already noon. Let's pass on the meal!"
The waiter quietly took the order and left, and soon lunch was ready!
The Queen showed a graceful smile and said, "Jingwan, Qing'er, come, you can have dinner with me today!"
Ning Jingwan and Mu Lanqing both lowered their heads, "Yes!"
Jing Jing Wan's face showed an innocence that didn't understand the world: "The royal meal in the queen mother's palace is really delicious, Jing Wan thanked the queen mother!"
The Empress and Mu Lanqing looked at each other and smiled, "If Jingwan likes it, you can come to Fengluan Hall of this palace more often in the future!"
Jingjing Wan nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Queen Mother!"
The meal was extremely harmonious and warm. After lunch, the Queen said: "Okay, I'm going to rest. Please step aside!"
Jing Jingwan and Mu Lanqing both said: "Yes, my nephew (nephew) is resigning!"
After leaving the Fengluan Hall, Mu Lanqing suddenly said: "From what my aunt said, it seems that this is the first time for Princess Jing to come to the Fengluan Hall. The Fengluan Hall is a desperate situation in the world. It should only exist in heaven. If you are a low-ranking official, I would like to
I serve as a guide for Princess Jing. I wonder if Princess Jing would appreciate it?"
His cold voice neither makes people feel alienated nor gentle.
A pretty smile appeared on Jingjing Wan's face, reflecting the light of autumn, "Okay, Lord Laomu is here!"
