Chapter 393: I Will Marry Her

It was rare for Concubine Gong to see truly poor people.

She handed her a plate of snacks from the table and said, "Take it and eat it."

Zheng Xiaozhuo saw the exquisite dim sum, and although his mouth was watering with greed, he still shook his head and said, "These dim sum look very expensive. I can't eat them."

The nanny stuffed the plate into Zheng Xiaozhuo's hands and said, "This is a gift from the Concubine Dowager. Take it."

"I... thank the Queen Dowager. I have no way to repay you, so I will just kowtow to you." Zheng Xiaozhe was at a loss and kowtowed three times. Then he picked up the snack, carefully picked up a piece, and took a small bite.

She immediately narrowed her eyes: "How sweet!"

"It's so sticky, fragrant, and delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious."

Zheng Xiaozhuo praised someone with every bite he took. Although his words were simple and straightforward, they made Concubine Gong very happy.

This probably means that sincerity is the ultimate weapon!

However, Zheng Xiaozhuo ate two pieces and stopped.

She looked at Concubine Gong cautiously and said, "Your Highness, can I take the remaining snacks home? My mother and sister are not in good health, and I want to leave them for them."

The nanny's eyes instantly filled with tears, "This child... is too sensible."

Concubine Gong pressed her eyes with a handkerchief and told the nanny, "Pack all these up and give them to her."

After a while, the nanny who went out came back.

She whispered a few words in Concubine Gong's ear.

Concubine Gong said to Zheng Xiaozhuo, "Let's choose her as the other one."

The nanny smiled and reminded Zheng Xiaozhuo: "Why don't you come over and thank me."

Zheng Xiaozhe didn't expect that he would be selected. He immediately grinned, revealing eight white teeth.

She kowtowed three times to Concubine Gong: "My Lady Concubine, you are the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva. You are even more kind than the centenarian grandmother in our alley."

Concubine Gong nodded at her and said with a smile, "You, with your little mouth, can coax people to death without any compensation."

It was clearly a joyful atmosphere.

The other women in the garden looked unhappy.

Losing to the widow of the Ning family was already embarrassing enough.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Dowager would choose a poor maid of unknown origin instead of them.

Are they really that bad?

It’s so infuriating!

Concubine Gong waved to Wen Yan: "Child, come here."

"Your Highness, please give me your instructions." Wen Yan walked over quickly.

"Send someone to notify the Ning family and ask them to pack their bags and follow me soon."

"Yes." Wen Yan responded and went to find the Ning family.

The Ning family hadn't left yet, so she went directly to the courtyard before the election.

As soon as she entered the yard, she heard a questioning voice coming from the room: "Ning Tan, are you going to answer our proposal just now?"

"Isn't it just about having your three sisters accompany you to Dazhao Temple in the name of taking care of you? Anyway, you have the quota to bring four maids, so let's operate within a reasonable range!"

"Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, this is a deception. If Concubine Gong asks about it, it will be a disaster for everyone in the Ning family!"

"Bah, if you don't want to help your sisters, just say so directly instead of making up these high-sounding excuses."

Wen Yan couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard the conversation in the room.

The Ning family is really enough.

A few years ago, for the sake of family honor, he forced the unmarried Ning Tan to return home with Fu Ling.

Now, they come to force Ning Tan again, they are really a "clear stream of books".

Wen Yan didn't even have the interest to go in, so she asked Pei'er to call Ning Tan out.

After a while, Ning Tan walked out as if escaping.

She grabbed Wen Yan's hand and said, "Yan Yan, it's a good thing you came. If you had come a little later, I would have been annoyed to death by them."

Wen Yan took her arm and said, "Let's go. Concubine Gong will take you away now. You won't have to worry about anything for the next six months."

Wen Yan sent Ning Tan over, and Concubine Gong took the two of them away.

Wen Yan sent the person to the door and took a bundle to Zheng Xiaozhuo: "Inside are Pei'er's old clothes, please don't dislike them."

"I don't mind, I don't mind. Thank you, Mr. Liu, and thank you, Sister Pei'er." Zheng Xiaozhe took it happily.

As soon as Concubine Gong left, the other guests also left one after another.

The huge yard soon became quiet.

"Although we earn a lot of money, we are exhausted!" Wen Yan turned his stiff neck, "Leave a few people on duty, and the others can go back and rest. Those who are on duty today will work half a day less tomorrow."

After explaining everything, Wen Yan went back to the house to rest.

She was obviously very tired, but she lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep.

I don’t know how Yingzhilin is doing now?

It was windy in the afternoon. I wonder if he was cold inside?

However, the clothes he wore today were really nice.

No, she wanted to buy some more beautiful clothes and let him wear them for her every day.

Even if she couldn't chew on Ying Zhilin's tender bone, it would be good to satisfy her eyes.

Wen Yan felt happy when she thought of Ying Zhilin dressing up in different ways for her.

As she was thinking, she fell asleep.

At the same time, Concubine Gong returned to the palace.

Ning Tan and Zheng Xiaozhuo were arranged to rest in a side hall.

After a while, the emperor and empress arrived together.

When Concubine Gong saw the two of them, she closed her eyes in disgust and rubbed her forehead: "Why are you here again? Can't you let me rest for a while? Seeing you two makes my eyes and head hurt!"

The emperor smiled shamelessly and pinched Concubine Gong's shoulders, saying, "Mother, I know you've worked hard. It's my own fault that you've been so old and still have to help me with things."

The emperor spoke so pitifully that he almost cried.

Concubine Gong covered her face and became more and more disgusted with the emperor: "You are the king of a country now, can you please stop making such nonsense."

"Mother, you don't love me anymore, and I'm so sad." The emperor pouted pitifully, acting like a spoiled child of five or six years old.

Concubine Gong clenched her fist with all her strength to avoid slapping the emperor in the face.

The queen sat quietly by the side, watching the mother and son bickering, and smiled knowingly.

In this whole world, perhaps only Concubine Gong dares to speak to the emperor in such an attitude.

The emperor and his mother joked for a while before Concubine Gong said, "As expected, Ning Tan has been brought back to the palace. You, boy, made such a fuss to make me go all this way to get her, are you attracted to her?"

"You're twenty years older than Ning Tan, and yet you still want to bring trouble to others!" Concubine Gong became angry and punched the emperor on the shoulder. "Besides, Ning Tan destroyed her own appearance to escape the Xie family. Do you have such a strong taste now?"

"Mother, what are you talking about?" The emperor's face wrinkled red with anger. "Mother, don't you know what kind of character I am? How could I possibly do that to her? She's two years younger than my daughter!

It's Meng Xiyan, he's fallen for Ning Tan and wants to marry her."
