Chapter 136 Fish Fish Fish

Hearing what Jiang Youning said, Cui Zhaoan couldn't help but smile, and his hands under his sleeves unconsciously used some force.

How can I not blame you?

In the past few days, she and the emperor played a game of chess and dealt with Nanny Mei and those young palace maids and eunuchs who had ulterior motives.

When the truth came to light, she realized that the original Aunt Mei had passed away a long time ago, and the person who had been with her all these years was actually someone arranged by her great aunt, whom she had always trusted from her maternal family.

Her father had once gone to war with the old marquis, but later died on the battlefield and her mother died of depression. The old marquis then adopted her as his adopted daughter, and she was then raised by the old lady with great care.

Although she grew up in the Gu family, she always kept the surname Cui. Her uncle and aunt had always been close to her, so she had always been in contact with them. Over the years, the Cui family had relied on her influence and had developed better and better.

I never thought...

Some people are born ungrateful and are not satisfied with their current status. They even dream of letting her cousin replace her as the mistress of the palace one day.

Don’t you think about whether they deserve it?

Fortunately, my daughter has been busy making money recently and has a good relationship with Jiang Youning.

She made up an excuse and her daughter didn't ask any more questions about Aunt Mei.

~~~

After night falls.

When the palace banquet started, Jiang Youning originally wanted to take little Wukong to find his mother.

But Cui Zhaoan is too enthusiastic.

Therefore, the two of them could only go with Cui Zhaoan and Chu Lange to find Emperor Wenzong of Chu and attend the banquet with the emperor and empress.

As soon as they entered the Baohedian Hall, a group of officials and their families knelt down one after another.

Emperor Wenzong of Chu was used to it and calmly asked everyone to stand up.

When everyone knelt down, Jiang Youning immediately and swiftly walked out of the hall.

【Oh, luckily I'm smart. 】

[If your family kneels down on you, your life will be cut short, right? ]

[But I have to say it, it's good to follow the emperor and empress. After all, I have a sign that says no need to kneel. Everyone else is kneeling, and I'm standing aside, standing out from the crowd. It's a bit inappropriate.]

"Ningning, go find your parents."

Cui Zhaoan listened to Jiang Youning's words, turned his head to see her hiding alone at the door, and couldn't help but smile.

"yes."

Jiang Youning bowed and pulled Xiao Wukong towards where his parents were.

After standing up, the few people who could hear Jiang Youning's inner voice looked over and saw that Jiang Youning had mixed feelings.

Putting aside the phrase "standing out from the crowd", is it appropriate to attend the banquet with the emperor and empress?

However...

Jiang Wanrong couldn't help but frown.

When my sister and little Goku followed the Queen in, the strange feeling seemed to be even stronger.

With such a close comparison, she actually felt that her sister and the emperor were somewhat similar.

Is she crazy?

When she and Ningning were swapped, many years had passed and those midwives were either dead or disappeared. Everything was handled so cleanly that not only her but even the Jiang family could not find any useful clues.

As for Ningning, she realized at this moment that everyone tacitly accepted that her sister was a member of the Jiang family. Ningning had never clamored to find her biological parents, so no one had ever deliberately thought about Ningning.

But what if...she is like little Wukong, a child of the emperor who was left behind?

But if that's the case, my sister knows so much, why has she never mentioned this aspect?

Jiang Wanrong felt extremely confused.

For some reason, she felt a chill on her back.

It's like... someone is in control of the situation, and all of them are just pawns.

Maybe... I can ask my sister about what happened after she was switched to the Jiang family. Maybe... if I change the direction and explore from my sister's side, I can find some answers?

"Fifth sister, what are you thinking about?"

Jiang Youning sat down at the small table next to Jiang Wanrong. Seeing that she was in a daze, he couldn't help but speak out.

"Nothing, I just thought of something. But why are you here with the Queen?"

Jiang Wanrong withdrew her thoughts, looked at Jiang Youning and smiled softly.

"The Queen Mother knows that Xiao Wukong and I are greedy, so she asked us to come over and have some food."

[However... I am really full. After having a feast at the Queen's place, I am afraid that I can only listen to music and eat melon seeds here. ]

Hearing this, Chu Wenzong turned his head and glanced at the empress.

His good queen actually cooked for that girl? She didn't even invite him to join in.

Damn!

That’s it.

At least because of that girl, he and the queen cleared up the troubles behind her, and their relationship as husband and wife was restored.

"Serve the food!"

Emperor Wenzong of Chu waved his sleeves.

I saw the palace maids bringing up plate after plate of dishes in an orderly manner.

When the lids were opened one by one and the dishes were placed on the table, no one in the court dared to say anything. Jiang Youning immediately understood why the queen let her and Xiao Wukong eat more.

[Braised fish, steamed fish, boiled fish...]

[Fish, fish, fish, is there no other dish besides fish in this palace now? ]

[But why do these fish look so familiar? Chu Lange, how many fish did you sell to the palace? ]
