Empress can't eat enough

Chapter 55
Wei Yingning couldn't help thinking: If this empress Xiao was placed among the people, she would be a difficult mother-in-law, she is really tricky!She was not satisfied with embarrassing her new daughter-in-law before her head, and now she planned to take her eldest daughter-in-law under the knife.

Early in the morning, there were indeed gossips, saying that Empress Xiao was not satisfied with Zhou Lingyi being the crown princess——Empress Xiao had always been hostile to Pingninghou's residence.This matter of turning an enemy into a friend is a court matter, and to her, it is a dove occupying a magpie's nest.

She had planned to support her mother's niece as the princess... her dream was shattered, and it was inevitable to find Zhou Lingyi unhappy from time to time.

Her mother's niece Xiao Shi is still living in the palace!Always pester her "Brother Prince".The position of Concubine is gone, but the position of Liang Di is easy to get, and the future can be expected.This must have been the order of Empress Xiao.

But in the face of Empress Xiao, Zhou Lingyi, who grew up with a lot of love and affection, was not vain and submissive, and was often reckless and frankly rebuttal.

"My brother's marriage is decided by the father, how can the mother say that we are snobbish in the Marquis of Pingning?" Although her words are gentle, she must distinguish the truth clearly.She also said: "Besides, isn't my brother still going to marry the second lady of the Wei family?"

The whole hall immediately fell silent, everyone held their breath, as if they could only hear their own heartbeat.

It was not the first time they had seen this scene of immortals fighting.It's just that one is the No. [-] woman in the world, and the other is the No. [-] woman in the future, neither of which they can afford to offend.So, carry it carefully, silence is golden.

Only Wei Yingning found it very interesting.When mentioning the Pingninghou Mansion earlier, she was more or less intentional.This time, it was her who watched from the sidelines.

"If the Marquis of Pingning hadn't been proud of taking credit for it, they should have accepted the marriage offered by the sage earlier." Empress Xiao's face turned cold at some point. "If the sage is more indulgent, how can your father agree to let your elder brother marry the second wife of the Wei family?"

"Since ancient times, the matter of marriage has always focused on the right marriage. It's just that the sage bestowed marriage, and the Pingning Hou Mansion is also happy with it, so we should obey it." Zhou Lingyi also turned cold and replied a few words.

"According to the concubine's intentions, you have wronged the Marquis of Pingning? Could it be that the sage made a mistake in bestowing the marriage?" Empress Xiao continued to be troubled. The second lady is also wrong?"

"My son has no such intentions." Zhou Lingyi's eyes were full of dissatisfaction, but he couldn't say too many controversial words on his mouth. After all, the one sitting in the hall was the mother of a country, her direct mother-in-law.

"I'm tired, let's go!" Empress Xiao waved her hand slightly, supported her forehead in displeasure, closed her eyes and regained her composure.

You are all saying goodbye, and you are relieved to be able to leave this breathless palace.

Coming outside Fengwu Palace, Zhou Lingyi waited for a while until Wei Yingning came out.

"Princess Huan," she called her, her face was as ugly as yesterday, "you don't have to come here to pay homage every day because of your sick body, but you can live happily outside the palace in the future, it's really enviable! ..."

Well, it's not envy, but jealousy, right?
Wei Yingning thought for a while, and flattered: "The princess is a first-class family member, and she will be the mother of the world in the future. I wait for idlers, and my life is mediocre, so it's not worth mentioning."

"That's true." Zhou Lingyi snorted, then took a haughty step again, and walked in the direction of the East Palace.

If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight. If you are abandoned, why should you care about it?Don't worry about it anymore.

As soon as she left, Concubine Li walked over from the side.She asked Wei Yingning: "It's still early, does Princess Huan want to sit with me?"

Wei Yingning looked at her, thanked her for her kindness with a smile, and replied: "There are many things in the palace, I should go back."

Concubine Li was a little surprised. She thought that she, who had been excluded, would happily accept his proposal, but unexpectedly, she didn't appreciate it?
"Concubine Li," Wei Yingning thought she had misunderstood, and couldn't help reminding, "It's not wise to get close to me at this time."

Concubine Li understood what she was thinking, but instead she laughed and said, "You don't know me yet. In this palace, I am not afraid of anything."

Wei Yingning didn't say anything, and still made his speech.

Concubine Li only said that she was timid, and went back to the palace without interest.

On the way, Ah Man asked Wei Yingning: "I think that concubine Li is a good lady, why did the eldest lady show her kindness? If you can meet a favored empress in this palace, the eldest lady will encounter difficulties when she enters the palace. , and someone can help.”

"Now is not the time." Wei Yingning said, covered his mouth and yawned.

When passing Huachong Hall, she met two generals passing by, and one of them stopped and looked at her. She couldn't help but glance sideways, and suddenly saw that this person was none other than Jiang Chiyi, the eldest son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War.

Jiang Chiyi let the person who was traveling with him go ahead.

"Master Jiang, this is..." Wei Yingning saw that he was dressed in a military uniform, which was quite formal, and couldn't help looking at him suspiciously.

She knew that because of his meritorious service in Zidian Lake that day, he was promoted to the rank of Military Officer of the Central Army of the Shenji Camp, and was in charge of the Fourth Division of the Central Army.But his outfit looks like he is going on an expedition.

"The barbarians in the north have repeatedly violated our Dazhou border. I am in command of two thousand people from the Shenji Battalion. I will soon go to the north with the army."

Really want to go out!

"But Mr. Jiang has never been on the battlefield, why...your mother is willing?" Wei Yingning was a little worried about him, and also a little guilty.

He was originally a person who didn't want to make progress but only wanted to be at ease. Could it be that she broke his heart because of her going to the battlefield this time?She didn't dare to ask, for fear that she was being sentimental.

Jiang Chiyi, on the other hand, saw that she was in a normal state of mind, so he laughed quickly, and said heartily: "At any rate, I am also a martial arts champion. I have been in the Arsenal for many years and am proficient in firearms. This time, I will bring the Shenji Battalion with me. It can strengthen the morale of our army, and return to victory quickly!"

"Then I wish Mr. Jiang a triumphant return as soon as possible." Wei Yingning said sincerely, wishing in his heart that he would be safe and successful.

"It will definitely." Jiang Chiyi smiled, and after thinking for a while, he asked a little later: "You...how is everything? King Huan..."

"I'm fine." Wei Yingning replied, "Prince Huan...he treats me well."

Now that it's just friendship, she doesn't want him to miss her even a little bit.She hoped that he would have a confidant who understood and loved him as soon as possible.

The members of the Jiang family are all good friends and deserve the best in the world.

"Then... Xiaohou Pingning, you put it down, right?" Jiang Chiyi still remembers the way Wei Yingning was hurt that day at the polo field.

"Naturally let it go." Wei Yingning felt a little embarrassed after thinking about it, and couldn't help laughing, saying: "I didn't care about it at the time, and was confused by the momentary feeling."

"It's good if you can let it go." Jiang Chiyi didn't know if what she said was true or not, but he always hoped that she would feel better.

He himself doesn't think it's so easy to let go of someone...

"Mr. Jiang must be busy with military affairs, so I will leave without delay." Wei Yingning didn't dare to stay longer, for fear that talking to a foreign minister for a long time would cause criticism.

Jiang Chiyi was also busy saying goodbye to him.This farewell, I don't know how long it will take to see each other again.
