Chapter 332 I also want to serve you
After everyone was seated, soldiers immediately came forward, picked up the head, dragged the body out of the Weiyang Palace.
Blood dripped and meandered along the way.
Everyone who was seated looked at the blood line and felt sad.
A palace maid came in with a wooden bucket, lowered her head, and squatted on the ground to rinse and wipe.
The bloodstains quickly disappeared and the palace was clean again, as if the body had never appeared.
But everyone saw the bloody scene just now.
Someone I once knew had his head cut off by a knife.
They really couldn't pretend nothing happened.
Looking at the exquisite dishes placed on the small table in front of them, everyone had no appetite, and those with bad moods even felt nauseous.
But the female King of Hell was sitting at the head, so they really didn't dare to lose their composure.
The female Yama raised her wine glass and said to them with a smile: "Everyone, eat, don't be restrained, just treat it like you are at home."
Everyone: “…”
The old foxes in the court were fine. They raised their glasses, smiled and agreed with Xiao Ning, drinking and eating calmly.
Although the lady of the noble family looked pale, she was able to smile and drink at the banquet after the initial panic and fear.
The young nobles and ladies didn't have such strong hearts. They couldn't eat anything at all. Their minds were filled with the rolling head and the headless corpse...
Who would have thought.
The unlearned and unskillful dandy would one day rise to a high position.
Still a woman...
Of course, there were also women whose hearts were beating wildly when they looked at Xiao Ning sitting on the high seat.
If possible, who would be willing to be trapped in the inner house and subject to worldly discipline?
If men can accomplish great things, become famous, and leave their names in history, why can't women do the same?
Xue Qingrong is the second daughter of the Xue family. She is outstanding in appearance and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is known as the most talented woman in Shengjing.
But no one knew that she was also well versed in classics, history, and literature, and her talent and knowledge were not inferior to that of the most famous young master in Shengjing. Even the articles her brother wrote when he entered the officialdom were borrowed from the insights she had written casually.
They used her articles to get into officialdom, but then turned around and said that she did not follow the teachings of a woman and did not observe the virtues of a woman.
Even his father and brother wanted to marry her to Qian Jia Jiulang in order to climb up the social ladder.
That man was a frequent visitor to brothels. He ate everything, and when he was only in his teens, he had several concubines, including some male ones.
She begged her father, but he didn't care about her opinion at all. He just told her to wait for her marriage and he would prepare a generous dowry for her so that she could marry in style.
Her mother advised her, "As a woman, it doesn't matter who you marry. Qian Jiulang may have been a bit naughty, but our Rong Niang is the most capable girl in Shengjing. Are you still worried that you can't tame Qian Jiulang?"
Xue Qingrong felt nauseous when she thought of Qian Jiulang, who was completely drained by alcohol and sex, especially since he was with a man...
Xue Qingrong has always prided herself on being noble since she was a child, but she never expected that she would marry such a person now.
She cried and made a fuss, but it was of no use. They only looked at her with disappointment, and then punished her by making her copy the female precepts and kneel in the ancestral hall.
Gradually, Xue Qingrong accepted her fate.
But today, looking at the high-spirited Xiao Ning, Xue Qingrong couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
It turns out that women can live like this...
It turns out that women can also scare men into submission...
The resentment that had been pent up in her heart for all these years seemed to have found an outlet. She looked up at Xiao Ning who was high up and raised her glass as well.
She was trembling, but her fear was different from that of the other noble ladies around her.
Xue Qingrong thought, maybe she didn't have to marry Qian Jiulang.
She could even achieve great things like her father and brother...
They were afraid of her and submitted to her, but at the same time they wanted to paralyze her and plot against her.
If she surrendered sincerely at this time, perhaps the empress would be willing to use her.
Xue Qingrong imitated the heroic posture of the man on the higher ground, tilted her head back, and poured all the wine in the glass into her mouth.
Xiao Ning had been observing the people below, and naturally noticed Xue Qingrong who was imitating her to drink.
She leaned close to Shang Xi's ear and asked, "Do you know the third girl on the right in the row of female relatives?"
Shang Xi took a look and said, "I know her. She's Xue Qingrong, the second daughter of Xue Guangyi, the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple."
Xiao Ning smiled and said, "It's a nice name."
Shang Xi stared at Xiao Ning with cold eyes.
"Then should I take you into the harem?"
Xiao Ning: “…”
She tilted her head to glance at Shang Xi and said with a smile, "Why are you jealous again? I didn't praise her for being pretty."
Shang Xi: "So you think she's pretty?"
Xiao Ning's mouth twitched.
He said against his will, "That's just the way it is. My princess looked so beautiful in women's clothes. No one in Shengjing could compare to her!"
Shang Xi: "...Who wants to compete with a woman?"
Although he said so, the corners of someone's mouth curled up quietly.
Still as stubborn as ever.
Xiao Ning found it a little funny.
She dropped one hand under the table, held Shang Xi's hand on his knee, and scratched his palm.
"In my heart, the baby is the most beautiful. You win compared to anyone else."
The arc of Shang Xi's mouth corners raised even wider.
It's totally out of control.
At the end of the Xu hour, the dinner finally ended successfully, and Xiao Ning asked the palace eunuchs to take all the guests out of the palace.
Watching everyone leave, Xiao Ning asked Li Yuan, "Have the people guarding the city been replaced by ours?"
Li Yuan nodded and said, "The rotation was completed in the afternoon."
Xiao Ning said, "Guard the city gates well during this period. If anyone tries to leave the city and cause trouble, they will be killed without mercy."
Li Yuan nodded in agreement.
"Disperse the troops of the four battalions and place them in our ranks. Don't let them form a group."
"Although training cannot be relaxed, daily ideological education classes are also important."
"Especially for the newly joined soldiers from the four battalions, rather than physical training, we should pay more attention to improving their ideological awareness."
Li Yuan agreed to all of them.
Xiao Ning patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work recently."
Li Yuan smiled and clasped his fists. "It is my great honor to serve the general. I do not find it tiring at all."
Xiao Ning laughed and scolded, "You're such a chatterbox! Come on, it's getting late, go back and get some rest."
After Li Yuan left, a warm body came up from behind Xiao Ning.
"Aning, I want to serve you too."
Xiao Ning smiled and said, "Let me hear what you want to do."
Shang Xi didn't say anything, but his hand on Xiao Ning's abdomen slowly slid down.
Xiao Ning subconsciously closed his legs.
Then he turned around and pushed the man away, angrily saying, "What are you doing!"
There are so many palace servants around here cleaning up the dishes...
She looked around in panic, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everyone in the palace was busy with their own work with their heads down.
After retracting his gaze, he couldn't help but glare at Shang Xi.
There is no sense of boundaries at all!
In public...
Xiao Ning turned around and strode outside.
Shang Xi followed her.
"Aning, why are you walking so fast? I can't keep up..."
Shang Xi felt a little aggrieved.
Isn't that what she needs to know?
He just used his actions to tell her what he wanted to do for her.
Why is she so angry all of a sudden?
