Chapter 406 Don't Take Her There

When the four masters and servants returned to Xiangguo Mansion, it was already dark.

Ning Xianxian thought she would be scolded, but the mansion was quiet, until she returned to her Green Bamboo Pavilion, no old lady or anyone else came to ask.

what's the situation?
She was a little puzzled, and beckoned to Xiaowanzi, and asked, "Is Xiangye back?"

"I'm back." Xiaowanzi said, "I came back a little earlier than the Princess, and I will go talk to the old lady as soon as I come back."

"Oh... Did the old lady send someone here to ask?"

"Yes." Xiaowanzi thought for a while, "Just tell the servants to be careful and prepare food and hot water in advance, so that the princess will not have anything when she comes back."

Ning Xianxian nodded and stopped talking.

Thinking about it, the old lady was very happy for her to go to the General's Mansion and associate with Fang Baizhi.

Since there was no commotion caused by her late return, she was relieved, and after taking a hot bath, she got into the bed comfortably.

Xiaohuan and Tao'er had both gone to sleep, only Fei Cui was by the bed, looking at the account book, and asked: "Princess, if you just locked up the prince of Northern Qi, wouldn't His Highness Ran continue to be confined by the emperor?" ?"

Ning Xianxian huddled under the blanket, read the storybook, and said, "I'll let him go after tomorrow."

"What I mean by this servant is that tomorrow the Empress Dowager will also choose a relative for His Royal Highness Ran..."

"Anyway, it's the empress dowager's election, so whether he's present or not doesn't have much influence." Ning Xianxian didn't care.

Fei Cui stopped talking, and after reading the account book in her hand, she got up and went to sleep on the small bed in the cubicle.

Ning Xianxian poked his head out of the cup and said, "I don't need to watch the night, you go to sleep in your own room, don't catch cold at night."

Fei Cui said: "If the old lady finds out, the slaves will be scolded. It's just as warm here, so don't worry about the Princess. If you want tea at night, the slaves will be able to hear you."

Ning Xianxian had no choice but to let her go.

When she was in the prime minister's mansion in her previous life, Tao'er was the one who kept watch at night.

Although she wanted Tao'er by her side now, she just let her be an ordinary maid by her side.His status is not as high as that of the maid in charge, Fei Cui.

Because she knew in her heart that Tao'er was actually a naive and sweet little girl, not suitable for participating in so many intrigues.

In this life, she would rather let Tao'er maintain her innocence and live a simple and comfortable life.

Silent all night.

Ning Chengxin and the old lady fell asleep when they found out she came back, so they didn't look for her.

The next morning, Ning Xianxian woke up very early as usual, and with the help of Jade and Xiaohuan, she chose a set of bamboo-leaf blue clothes, with a slightly darker blue cloak on it.

This cloak is new, she usually changes back and forth between two red cloaks, because Liang Yingqiu used the one yesterday, so Jade would not allow her to wear it again, so she insisted on finding a new one.

She was originally the proud servant girl by the old lady's side, and it would not take much effort if she wanted to get a new dress from the embroidery house.

After getting dressed, Ning Xianxian led Jade Xiaohuan and Tao'er, and first went to greet the old lady.

Seeing the unfamiliar Xiaohuan and Tao'er, the old lady inevitably asked a lot.

Ning Xianxian patiently explained one by one, and said: "Grandmother, today is the birthday of the empress dowager, are you going to enter the palace too?"

The old lady smiled and said: "I used to go there, but now that I am getting older, my legs and feet hurt badly after walking for a long time. I have already asked for leave in advance, so I won't go."

She asked someone to fetch a brocade box, and said: "This is a birthday gift for the Empress Dowager, take it with the immortals, and treat it as a gift from our grandparents and grandchildren."

Ning Xianxian said: "Thank you grandma, I just don't know what birthday gift I should prepare."

The grandfather and grandson were joking, and it was reported that Li Yanjun brought Ning Chengcheng over to greet the old lady.

When the old lady let them in, she was really dressed up.

Especially Ning Chengcheng, who was dressed in bright red, his head was covered with pearls and emeralds, and his face was painted with rouge and powder.

She was already extremely beautiful, and after deliberately dressing up, she was even more beautiful.

Looking at her, Ning Xianxian suddenly understood Mo Lin'an back then.

Any man would probably like the beautiful Ning Chengcheng and despise the fat and stupid Ning Xianxian.

Ning Chengcheng lightly moved his lotus steps, followed Li Yanjun gracefully, and saluted the old lady.

Ning Chengcheng raised his eyes and saw Ning Xianxian, who was so plain, completely different from the usual bright coat, so he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.

She had already inquired about it, and the empress dowager liked girls who were brighter and more lively, and she didn't like girls who were dull and weird.

The old lady said: "Mr. Li, you can just bring Xianxian into the palace, what else do you want to bring Sister Cheng?"

Li Yanjun respectfully said: "Mother, it's not that the daughter-in-law is ignorant and insists on taking Cheng Cheng with her. It's just that the queen mother's birthday is decided a few months in advance. Because the queen mother said that she would choose a relative for the little highness, at that time the immortals also If I'm not at home, I'll report Cheng Cheng's name. It's not good if I don't go now."

The old lady said lightly: "It's not your first day in the capital, don't you even know the rules? What is the identity of that Highness, and what is the identity of Sister Cheng? If you report her name, it will make the Queen Mother unhappy. "

To put it bluntly, Ning Chengcheng has a low status and is absolutely not worthy of being Mo Ran's wife.

If Li Yanjun insisted on stuffing her in and letting others know, they would think that the prime minister didn't understand the rules and insulted the majesty of the royal family.

Li Yanjun defended in a low voice: "Mother, don't worry, the Prime Minister has already told the emperor about this matter. The queen mother did not require that she must be the first wife, so..."

"So you don't want to waste this opportunity, relying on Sister Cheng's good looks, you want to try your luck?" The old lady directly pierced her psychology, and said lightly, "Now that Xianxian is back, you can just take Xianxian there gone."

"This..." Li Yanjun hesitated.

At this time, Mrs. Mu also brought in his eldest daughter, Ning Xier, and said with a smile: "What the old lady said is also reasonable. Now that there is such a serious and serious daughter-in-law as Xianxian in the mansion, why don't you tell Cheng Cheng?" With it, this is a bit disrespectful to the royal family."

At this time, Ning Chengcheng's face was almost green.

She never expected that the old lady would be so partial to Ning Xianxian, and she directly asked Li Yanjun to replace her with a tough attitude.

Unfortunately, she is not qualified to speak.

At this time, she felt someone tugging at the hem of her clothes.

She turned her head and met Ning Xianxian's pretty face.

"What is the princess doing?" Although she was resentful, she had to smile at each other.

"Do you want to enter the palace?" Ning Xianxian asked in a low voice.

"Naturally."

"I can let you go with me." Ning Xianxian whispered, "The condition is 1000 taels of silver."

Ning Chengcheng felt a tightness in his chest: "I, where do I get so much money?"

"That's a pity." Ning Xianxian shook his head, with regret on his face, "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as I ask, grandma will definitely listen to me. Is money more important than future in this world?"
