Chapter 211: Meeting King Min
The word "Auntie" startled everyone present.
Shen Ningyuan was so shocked that she put down her chopsticks and looked at Cui Jin in surprise.
Why did my mother, who just said that she would never compromise with the Queen Mother, call me "Aunt" so affectionately?
She couldn't help but want to despise her, what should she do?
Queen Mother Cui was also surprised and looked at Cui Jin with puzzled eyes.
Did she just have auditory hallucinations?
Cui Jin was actually willing to call her aunt?
As Queen Mother Cui looked at her in surprise, Cui Jin called out again, "Aunt?"
Only after clearly hearing the word "Aunt" did Queen Mother Cui realize that she was not hallucinating.
He couldn't help but smile, but the next second, he closed his mouth again and continued to pretend to be gloomy.
"Okay, sit down."
Queen Mother Cui waved her hand and asked Cui Jin to sit down.
"Thank you, auntie!"
Cui Jin responded crisply and sat down quickly.
After she sat down, Shen Ningyuan lowered her voice and asked, “Mom, weren’t you still very angry just now, threatening not to compromise?”
Cui Jin pursed her lips and smiled, "Yuan'er, mother will teach you a lesson today."
"What?"
“He who knows the times is a hero.”
Shen Ningyuan: “…”
What a saying goes, “He who knows the times is a hero.”
But my mother was not wrong.
When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
After Cui Jin sat down, the looks people gave her were even weirder than before.
Obviously, everyone is curious about the relationship between Cui Geun and Queen Dowager Cui.
It was only after hearing the name "Aunt" that everyone vaguely remembered.
Madam Shen of the General's Mansion, like Empress Dowager Cui, was from the Qinghe Cui family.
Even some elderly ladies recalled the major event in the capital city back then - Cui Jin and the current emperor had once been engaged.
However, Cui Jin finally refused to enter the palace and chose General Shen.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Cui Jin and the Queen Mother with even weirder eyes than before.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Just at this moment, the eunuch's shrill voice echoed throughout the hall.
Everyone was even more surprised that His Majesty had also come!
Hearing the footsteps, everyone prepared to stand up and salute.
Seeing this, Xie Lixuan waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. Today is the Queen Mother's vegetarian banquet. You just need to accompany her well."
The crowd then gave up and did not stand up to salute.
Xie Lixuan strode up to Empress Dowager Cui.
Take a seat.
Following her gaze, Xie Lixuan also saw Cui Jin sitting below.
After seeing Cui Jin's face clearly, Xie Lixuan was stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
Shen Ningyuan also noticed this and her face darkened slightly.
It seemed that the emperor's feelings towards her mother were more complicated than she had imagined.
With such a relationship, will the emperor listen to my father and give the title to Ji Yunnuo as she requested?
While Shen Ningyuan was thinking, Queen Mother Cui asked Xie Lixuan, "Emperor, didn't you say you were busy with government affairs? Why are you here?"
Xie Lixuan lowered his voice and explained: “There is an imperial edict that has been sent to the Ji family. I will let Shen Ningyuan follow the imperial edict back to the Ji family later.”
"What imperial edict?" asked Empress Dowager Cui, frowning.
Xie Lixuan did not hide it, "About the title of the Ji family."
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Cui looked at Xie Lixuan with a complicated expression.
Without even thinking, he concluded that Xie Lixuan would revoke the Ji family's title.
After sighing slightly, Queen Mother Cui glanced at Shen Ningyuan with a look of heartache in her eyes.
Unexpectedly, this girl's marriage would be so troublesome.
It doesn't matter if the man dies, but if there is a child, at least the title can be retained.
But now, the Ji family has lost even the title, what will Shen Ningyuan do in the future?
Seeing the complexity in Queen Mother Cui's eyes, Xie Lixuan did not explain further.
The vegetarian banquet continued, but unexpectedly, Xie Yumin also came.
When the little eunuch's shrill voice came from outside the hall.
Almost at the same time, Shen Ningyuan raised his head sharply.
What came into view was a thin man slowly walking into the hall.
Seeing Xie Yumin's face clearly, Shen Ningyuan's eyes widened instantly, and hatred burst out in his eyes.
He is Xie Yumin!
In the previous life, he supported the Ji family and killed everyone in the Shen family!
Hatred made Shen Ningyuan tremble all over, his hands clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into the flesh.
They finally met!
Thinking of the fate of the Shen family in the previous life, Shen Ningyuan wanted to rush out on the spot and tear Xie Yumin into pieces.
When Shen Ningyuan was about to stand up, Cui Jin suddenly pressed her shoulders.
He asked with concern: "Yuan'er, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Ningyuan then came back to her senses and turned to look at Cui Jin's worried eyes.
After taking a deep breath, Shen Ningyuan slowly shook her head, “Mom, I’m fine.”
"I'm glad you're okay. You really scared me to death just now!" Cui Jin said with fear.
Just now, she saw a strong sense of death from Shen Ningyuan.
Cui Jin frowned and turned his gaze to Xie Yumin who was walking past him.
Why did Yuan'er react like this when she saw King Min?
"Yuan'er, have you seen King Min?" Cui Jin asked.
Shen Ningyuan shook her head, her tone barely audible, "I haven't seen it."
But Cui Jin still heard it clearly.
Something was wrong with her kite.
