"You are the Queen, you are really beautiful! You are not a tiger, why should you be afraid?" Ning Xiaotang immediately said something nice.
As expected, when Queen Qin Fengzhi heard Ning Xiaotang praising her beauty, she immediately smiled tenderly and said, "You have a sweet mouth. You are a lovely little girl!"
"Your Majesty, this is the first time Tangtang has seen a woman more beautiful than mother. I hope Your Majesty doesn't mind!"
At this time, Ning Xiaotang immediately bowed again.
"Ning Xiaotang, tell me quickly, who is your mother? What is her name?"
"My mother's name is Liu Lanqing. You probably don't know her, but she's really beautiful!"
"Liu Lanqing is not her name!"
"Okay, Nanny Chen has given Miss Ning a generous reward. I need to rest for a while."
Chen Ye immediately stepped forward to support the queen and asked, "Have you, Her Majesty, forgotten that man?"
"Who?" Qin Fengzhi immediately asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, you've truly forgotten that you had a great fondness for Ning Xiaotang at the last Camellia Party. You even personally suggested to His Majesty that Prince Chen take her as his consort, didn't you?"
Although Chen Ye's voice was very low, Ning Xiaotang could still hear it. She saw Ning Xiaotang's eyes moving while she was bowing.
Strange, the Empress also wanted her to be engaged to the Prince of Chen? Isn't this an opportunity only available to noble ladies?
Although Ning Xiaotang really wanted to be a couple with Ye Jingxiao in a legitimate relationship, if the queen arranged the marriage, wouldn't it be possible for her to become the principal wife?
She was drooling just thinking about it, but when she saw the Queen's toes, Ning Xiaotang just knelt down obediently and didn't move.
"So it's her! The clothes she wore today brought back the joy of my childhood, but her mother's name isn't that!"
"Your Majesty, did you still think it was her? She's been gone for so many years, and we don't know whether she's alive or dead. I hope Your Majesty can let it go soon!"
"Then let Ning Xiaotang take the reward and leave first!"
"Yes, I obey your order!" Chen Ye immediately sent many gifts to Ning Xiaotang.
The Queen carefully recalled Ning Xiaotang's collar and skirt. Everything seemed too real. "Could it really be her?"
Meanwhile, a letter requesting a seal was being sent from Yeshi Manor to Kyoto at a speed of eight hundred miles! "Empress, what if she is not the daughter of an old friend?"
"As long as I invite her, Ning Xiaotang will definitely bring her entire family to express her gratitude. I will definitely be able to see with my own eyes whether she is still alive!"
Chen Ye immediately comforted her, "I hope everything is as your Majesty wishes~!"
"I hope so~!" There was a hint of sadness in the queen's eyes.
Ning Xiaotang recalled Nanny Chen's words in her own courtyard: "Your Majesty still thought it was her? She has disappeared for so many years, and it is unknown whether she is alive or dead. I hope Your Majesty can let it go as soon as possible!"
"Girl, you only had a small piece of cake in the evening, so you should be hungry now. Why do you seem depressed after receiving the reward?" Quan Yue said with extreme caution.
"Quanyue, I just heard a few words from the Queen. It seems that the Queen thought of her old friend because of me."
"Miss, do you know who your old friend is?" Quan Yue asked.
"From what the Queen said, it seems like she requested some kind of title, but she didn't say what it was."
"Then you should eat quickly, young lady. Tomorrow, Nanny Chen will teach etiquette to all the ladies, and it will take quite a while."
Quan Yue immediately arranged the dishes, and Ning Xiaotang also ate a little casually, but because she was worried, she didn't enjoy the meal.
I got up early in the morning, but it was not yet the hour of Mao.
"Girl, are you up?" Quan Yue immediately approached the door and shouted quietly.
"Well, Quanyue, come in, I'm awake!" Ning Xiaotang naturally knew that Chen Ye was the Queen's trusted nanny, so she naturally respected the Queen.
If I fail to arrive on time for morning training, the Queen might be unhappy.
Sure enough, Ning Xiaotang was the first to arrive at the Queen's courtyard. She stood in the middle, like a cute little baby girl, wearing a light pink skirt, her hair tied into two small buns, and her headband fluttering in the wind.
"Miss Ning is the first one to arrive. Come with me into the side hall and rest!"
Chen Ye was extra polite to Ning Xiaotang, because she knew that it was her elixir that saved the Empress, and the Empress had already asked the Emperor for a title.
Ning Xiaotang soon became a respected figure.
Chen Ye's politeness made Ning Xiaotang go into the side hall and sit down to rest.
After waiting for a while, other noble ladies began to arrive one after another.
The whole morning was filled with Chen Ye’s explanation and several noble ladies demonstrating the standard blessing ceremony.
The Queen also looked at Ning Xiaotang's eyebrows and eyes more carefully.
"Your Majesty, just now I specially asked Miss Ning to stand in the front row. Did Your Majesty see her appearance clearly?"
"Well, yesterday I was poisoned and didn't have the mood or energy to recognize her. But when I saw her today, she actually looked very similar to me. Her eyebrows and eyes are exactly like her when she was a child!"
"My Lady, could this Ning Xiaotang really be her daughter?"
"That's still possible. I'm eager to go to Ning Xiaotang's home to see her mother and see if she's my old friend!"
"My Lady, you must not act like this. If the old friend really marries this farmer, then wouldn't your brother have waited all these years in vain?"
"Brother~but I still want to see her! I hope she lives a safe and happy life!" Qin Fengzhi immediately looked at the portrait in front of her, which was a portrait of a little girl who looked 80% similar to Ning Xiaotang.
"My Lady, if your brother knew she was still alive, would he be unable to accept the reality that she had become someone else's wife?"
"Brother, he has always liked Sister Mengzhu!"
Chen Ye immediately said, "My Lady, if this Miss Fu is really Ning Xiaotang's mother, I'm afraid your brother will be extremely sad. I'm afraid this is not a good time to recognize her!"
"But I believe my brother, you must also want to know what happened to Sister Mengzhu ten years ago that made her disappear overnight?"
Qin Fengzhi pinched her palms deeply.
"My queen, please be careful not to hurt your hands!" Chen Ye immediately reached out and held Qin Fengzhi's slender hand tightly.
"Madam Chen, I really want to go and see this Third Madam Ning right now. Is she my best friend - Fu Mengzhu?"
Chen Ye immediately supported the queen and looked up at the sky in the moonlight: "I believe there will be an answer in a few days!"
Six days later
Ning Xiaotang was eating candy beans in the yard, and her little mouth was so sweet that it tasted like honey.
"Ning Xiaotang accepts the order!"
A shrill, father-in-law-like voice came over.
