Chapter 139 Loyalty
Hearing the word "guest", Jiang Nian frowned slightly, his eyes slightly dissatisfied.He pursed his lips and retreated to Ning Yuezhao, holding her hand again.

At this time, Jiang Qixi had already sat down on the chief seat again, as if he was the head of the family.

Ning Yuezhao knew that he deliberately put on an air of making things difficult, in order to let her retreat in spite of difficulties, but since she came, there was absolutely no reason for her to return without success.So she clenched the hand that was entangled with Jiang Nian slightly, "Go and change into dry clothes first, it's freezing cold, what if you get sick?"

Jiang Nian stubbornly refused to leave, and just said indifferently: "It's okay."

Jiang Qixi glared at him, "Parents who suffer from body, hair and skin, how can you ruin it like this!"

Jiang Nian stubbornly raised his chin, "Wherever there are any guests here, they are all from our own family."

Seeing him getting serious about this issue, Jiang Qixi was also a little angry for a while.In Jiang Qixi's eyes, monarchs, ministers and ministers, fathers and sons, should not be chaotic.He knew that what he did today was a bit rebellious, but he didn't want his son to go back to that dangerous position. Even if it put the entire Jiang family under pressure, he would take a gamble.

"Don't you even listen to your father now?"

Ning Yuezhao shook his hand, "You go first, I'm fine."

Jiang Nian wanted to insist at first, but when he turned his head and saw her blinking at him, he could only say, "I'll be right back."

Ning Yuezhao nodded and watched him leave.

In fact, after Jiang Nian was sent away, Jiang Qixi faced Ning Yuezhao's elder airs directly, and he was also under tremendous pressure.

Although his son had been married to her for a long time, he never regarded her as his wife.

When Ning Yuezhao came here this time, she didn't put on a ceremonial ceremony, nor did she reveal her identity. She just spoke of what an ordinary daughter-in-law would call her father-in-law.Although she just nodded, the other party had a special status after all, and it was not easy to achieve this step.

"Since you're here, let's leave one for dinner. It's just that the food at the house is simple, and I'm afraid the hospitality is not good enough." Jiang Qixi took a deep breath, and ordered the servants, "Get up, there are guests at home today, so put an extra bowl chopsticks."

This servant had already guessed the identity of the guest from the reactions of several masters, and secretly complained in his heart, the masters played charades, but we, the servants, have suffered!
Although there was dissatisfaction in their hearts, the subordinates did not dare to neglect, and prepared with a spirit of 12 points.

Jiang Xu is not as courageous as his father, but he can't openly contradict his father in this situation, so he can only smile and say to Ning Yuezhao: "Sit down first."

Ning Yuezhao nodded and sat down calmly, "Okay."

Lin Huizhong smiled awkwardly, "Father, I'm going to see why the kitchen hasn't prepared dinner for so long, and I can't make... people wait for a long time."

After finishing speaking, she blessed Jiang Qixi, and left holding the handkerchief.

Jiang Xu watched his wife run away, and hurriedly said to Jiang Qi: "I heard that my mother is not feeling well, so I will go and see her."

After finishing speaking, he also felt oily on the soles of his feet.

Jiang Qixi's face sank like water, and he secretly scolded his eldest son and daughter-in-law for not living up to expectations!
At this time, a servant had already served tea to Ning Yuezhao.

Compared to Jiang Qixi, Ning Yuezhao is actually much calmer.She has been in the top position for a long time, and only others have respected her for a long time. She has never been afraid of anyone!Jiang Qixi deliberately sent Jiang Nian away, she must have something to say to her, so she was not in a hurry.

In the end, it was Jiang Qixi who couldn't sit still anymore. He pushed back all the servants, walked up to Ning Yuezhao without saying a word, and knelt down heavily, "Your Majesty, I know the purpose of your condescension to come to the humble house today, but I don't want you to come here." Please fulfill the heart of the old minister's beloved son."

Standing behind Ning Yuezhao, Qingchi couldn't stand it anymore, she said: "Master Jiang, you only saw the wind, rain and danger that His Majesty and His Majesty suffered together, but have you ever thought that His Majesty is poisoned by Gu poison?" , is it a narrow escape?"

Jiang Qixi was a little blushed by Qingchi's robbery.

Ning Yuezhao put down the teacup, and said to Qingchi: "You go out first, I will settle this matter myself."

Before Qingchi left, he took a dissatisfied look at Jiang Qixi.

After everyone left, Jiang Qixi was still kneeling, and Ning Yuezhao went to help him without pretense, but said indifferently: "Why do you think that I am with Jiang Nian to harm him? Just take this time." As far as the matter is concerned, I wronged him, but I didn't cause him any substantial harm, so why are you so stubborn?"

When Jiang Qixi heard that she used a respectful name for herself, and she didn't use "Zhen" to refer to herself, she knew that she still lowered her posture.For a while, he was also a little bit at a loss, but he still insisted on his face, "I know that the reason why the late emperor chose Jiang Nian was to hope that the Jiang family could help His Majesty. I swear as the head of the Jiang family, The Jiang family will swear allegiance to the Ning royal family to the death, and will never betray, even if their hearts are smashed and their bodies smashed to pieces!"

Ning Yuezhao pursed her lips, unmoved by his oath of loyalty, but said in a low voice, "I never took advantage of Jiang Nian. Since I promised to marry him, I will be his wife for the rest of my life. This will not change under any circumstances.”

"Others may not know, but as the chief assistant, you should know how many papers have been piled up in the Palace of Political Affairs to impeach the Jiang family! The Jiang family has a great career, can you guarantee that few of these papers are true?"

"If I really want to target Jiang Nian and the Jiang family, why should I expend so much energy to clean up Jiang Nian's grievances? I just need to stand by and show a little bit of dissatisfaction with the Jiang family, and I can uproot the Jiang family. .”

Jiang Qixi knelt upright and swayed almost invisibly. He knew that Ning Yuezhao was right. The reason why he dared to fight was because of her soft-heartedness towards the Jiang family.

"The minister is very grateful to His Majesty for his protection."

Ning Yuezhao got up to help Jiang Qixi, this time he didn't insist and stood up.

She continued: "Although I said in front of all the officials that Jiang Nian was abolished as the emperor's husband, I never made an official decree, and Jiang Nian was not removed from the royal jade plate. He and I are still husband and wife. You should also know this. I am here today because I regard you as an elder, and I don't want to use power to suppress you, nor do I want Jiang Nian to make things difficult."

Looking at the calm and calm woman in front of him, Jiang Qixi suddenly felt that he had misjudged her in the past.Everyone in the world said that she was capricious and sentimental, and she was not immune to the influence of these rumors, only today did she realize that she was wrong.

He didn't want Jiang Nian to return to the imperial husband's position, and he also felt that a woman like Ning Yuezhao was not worthy of his son.Today, her condescending presence and her words made Jiang Qixi look at her with admiration.

He only thought that his son had been framed, lost his position of power, and the status of the Jiang family was also in jeopardy.Jiang Nian was wronged in the palace, but in fact, why didn't Ning Yuezhao struggle on the edge of life and death several times?
"Your Majesty is sympathetic, it's because I don't know how to flatter you!"

Seeing that Jiang Qixi finally let go, Ning Yuezhao also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since you have promised the loyalty of my Jiang family, I will also promise you that I will advance and retreat with Jiang Nian, and live and die together."

She spoke with such seriousness that it was convincing.

Jiang Qixi moved his lips, unable to say more words, but gratefully said: "Thank you."

Ning Yuezhao blinked, "Father doesn't have to be so polite."

Jiang Qixi coughed twice, picked up the cold tea at hand, and drank it to hide his panic.After all, he still couldn't help calling him that in front of the empress.No, he drank too fast, really choked, and coughed violently.

"Father!" Jiang Nian, who had been listening outside the door for a while, hurried into the hall, not wanting that Ning Yuezhao moved faster than him, and had already walked to Jiang Qixi's side, patting him on the back to calm him down.

Jiang Qixi was a little embarrassed. After he stopped coughing, he waved his hands again and again to indicate that he was fine.

He said to Jiang Nian: "I've already made an agreement with... Ah Zhao, you guys, take care of yourselves from now on. I will persuade your mother."

Jiang Nian looked at his father and said emotionally, "Thank you father for getting married."

Jiang Qixi sighed softly, "You are grown up now, and your children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I can't control it anymore."

Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian smiled at each other, and held hands together again, the heat from his palm was like fire.

Lin Huizhong, the young lady who had been observing from a distance under the corridor of the courtyard, saw that the atmosphere in the hall seemed to have calmed down, so she entered the hall in a stately manner.

"Father, second uncle... brother and sister, dinner is ready." Her "brother and sister" was actually a bit vain.

Jiang Qixi stood up, "Let's go."

He took a step ahead, and Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian deliberately walked slowly to create a distance.

"Am I scary? They seem to be panicking." Ning Yuezhao said in a low voice.

Jiang Nian held her hand tightly, and said softly, "They're just not used to it. When we come back often in the future, they won't be like this."

The two stepped out of the hall, and Qing Chi who was standing on the porch smiled and said to them: "The rain is over, and I won't be in the way here anymore, can His Highness send someone from the house to take me home? "

Ning Yuezhao gave her a white look, "When did I think you were in the way?"

Jiang Nian tightened the hands they held, and said first, "No problem."

He glanced at Jing Ming who was shy not far away, and said loudly: "Go and make arrangements to send Miss Qingchi back to Yan's Mansion."

Ning Yuezhao glared at him, seeing his calm face, Qingchi couldn't help but smiled again.

Jing Ming's face was bitterer than bitter gourd, the boss came over reluctantly, "Your Majesty won't be returning to the palace tonight? What about tomorrow morning?"

Ning Yuezhao said calmly: "My body has not recovered, and I am unable to preside over the government. I will not go back until I find someone who can relieve my worries."

Hearing this, Jing Ming's face became even more bitter. His poor master was about to return to the wolf den.

The master has already surrendered, now he can only count on his wife, Jing Ming secretly prayed.
