Su Manyi and Foxi walked to the Queen's bedroom. The maid at the door immediately bowed and greeted: "Meet Princess Chen, Meet Princess Lin."
Su Manyi looked forward, "Stand up..."
The maid thanked her and stood up, respectfully, "Princess Chen, Princess Lin, please come this way, the Queen is waiting for you two."
Su Manyi smiled at Foxi, and then walked into the hall with Foxi. The two bowed and saluted, "Meet the Queen." "
Stand up, and take a seat."
"Thank you, Queen."
Su Manyi and Foxi stood up, and then walked to the side and sat down.
Foxi raised her eyes and saw the Queen sitting upstairs in a dignified and decent manner, with a faint smile on her face.
"Is there something wrong with Princess Chen and Princess Lin?"
Su Manyi lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Lin and his father have been in the palace for a long time. I was worried about them, so I came to see them."
Foxi replied, "I am also really worried about His Royal Highness Prince Chen."
The Queen raised her lips and smiled, "You two princesses don't have to worry. The Emperor summoned all the princes and military officers to the palace to discuss the war."
Foxi raised her eyes, "War? Are we going to start another war?"
The Queen nodded, "The country of Nantong has been uneasy recently."
Foxi lowered her eyes. It was this country of Nantong again. It was fine for more than twenty years, why did it appear recently?
Su Manyi looked at Foxi subconsciously, and saw Foxi lowering his head. She sighed secretly. Whenever there was a war, it would be His Royal Highness Prince Chen who would go to the battlefield, but poor Foxi had to stay alone in her empty room.
The Queen said to the maid behind her, "Bring up the newly made cakes."
The maid responded and stepped back. After a while, she brought the cakes and put them on the table.
The Queen smiled and said, "This is what I just learned. The two princesses, please have a taste."
"Thank you, Queen."
Foxi took a sip of tea and put down the teacup, then looked absent-minded.
Su Manyi said softly: "Princess Chen is feeling bored, why don't I go for a walk with you?"
Foxi nodded: "Okay..."
The two stood up and saluted: "Sorry to bother the Queen."
The Queen: "No problem..."
The two walked out of the Queen's Palace, Foxi felt relaxed.
Su Manyi smiled, she thought Foxi was worried about His Royal Highness Prince Chen, but it turned out that he was really bored.
Foxi glanced at Congxuan behind her and said to Su Manyi, "Sister Princess Lin is going to the Queen Mother's bedroom."
Su Manyi walked forward and said casually, "No, the Queen Mother is seriously ill now, and the Emperor does not allow outsiders to visit, saying that he is afraid of disturbing the Queen Mother."
Foxi narrowed her eyes when she heard this, and then chuckled, "Then sister Princess Lin must go with me to Concubine Ning Jia."
Su Manyi glanced at Congxuan behind Foxi and shook her head slightly, "No, I haven't seen Concubine De for a long time, I want to go see her."
Foxi nodded, and the two of them parted after greeting.
Foxi came to Concubine Ning Jia, and the palace maid at the door was very surprised, and said in shock and disbelief: "Chen, Princess Chen?"
Foxi pursed her lips. Is she scary? Why does this maid look like she has seen a ghost?
"It's me. Is your queen here?"
The maid knelt down and saluted: "Hello, Princess Chen. Your queen is in the bedroom."
Foxi looked at the maid kneeling on the ground and said helplessly: "Get up and lead the way. I have something to ask your queen."
The maid thanked her and stood up. She bent her waist and walked in front respectfully.
Foxi followed the maid into the hall and saw Concubine Ning Jia sitting in the upper seat.
"Concubine Ning Jia."
Concubine Ning Jia looked at Foxi who was trying to please her and said in an indignant voice: "Princess Chen, you are so honored to be here. Is there something?"
Foxi chuckled and sniffed. Who made her do something wrong? It was normal for Concubine Ning Jia to dislike her.
"I accidentally destroyed the ghost orchid that the queen loved some time ago, and I came here today to make amends."
He turned and looked at Congxuan behind him.
Congxuan immediately stepped forward and opened the package in her hand, and then carefully lifted the ghost orchid over her head.
After seeing the ghost orchid, Concubine Ningjia stood up immediately, and the mood in her eyes changed obviously.
Foxi saw the stars in Concubine Ningjia's eyes, and then turned to look at the ghost orchid in Congxuan's hand, with surprise in her eyes. Does this ghost orchid have any special meaning to Concubine Ningjia?
Concubine Ningjia took the ghost orchid, put the flower under her nose and smelled it, and then looked at Foxi in front of her. Seeing her sincere face, her heart trembled. Once upon a time, she was also a carefree girl.
She sighed and said to the maids around her: "You all leave."
"Yes." All the maids bowed and saluted and left.
Congxuan stood up and looked up at Foxi, with worry in her eyes. This Concubine Ning Jia was not on good terms with the princess, would she hurt the princess?
Foxi looked at Congxuan, chuckled and said to Congxuan: "You leave."
"Yes..."
Foxi looked at Congxuan's back as she left, her eyes narrowed.
"Where did you find this ghost orchid?"
The voice of Concubine Ning Jia reached Foxi's ears. Foxi turned to look at Concubine Ning Jia, walked over and sat down, picked up the teacup and said casually: "Is it difficult? I just told Bei Mingchen that I suddenly liked ghost orchids, and he found these for me."
Concubine Ning Jia was stunned at first, then she laughed and teased: "I forgot that His Royal Highness Prince Chen dotes on you to the bones. Let alone a small ghost orchid, even if you want to kill someone, His Royal Highness Prince Chen will definitely do as you wish."
Foxi raised her eyebrows. So those palace maids were afraid of her, was it because of this reason?
He laughed and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen dotes on me to the bones, how could I not know that?" Concubine
Ning Jia rolled her eyes, then sat down next to Fo Xi, her tone becoming even more teasing, "You're probably here to cause trouble. What His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen said and did for you, everyone in and out of the palace knows about it."
Fo Xi raised her lips and smiled after hearing this.
Concubine Ning Jia placed the ghost orchid on the table, stretched out her delicate hand to stroke the petals, and said to herself: "This flower is really good and very rare, as rare as everlasting love."
Fo Xi almost spit out the tea after taking a sip, and Concubine Ning Jia became literary, put down the teacup in her hand, and turned to look.
Concubine Ningjia looked at the bewildered Foxi and said with a smile: "I thought the infatuation of the royal family of Anzheng was extinct, but I never expected to see it in the cruel and merciless Prince Chen."
Foxi was unhappy, and lowered her face, saying in an unhappy tone: "Who is cruel and merciless? Who do you say is cruel and merciless? Beiming Chen is obviously so well-behaved."
Concubine Ningjia laughed softly, then raised her head and looked at Foxi, "Do you know why I like this ghost orchid?"
Foxi shook her head. She was not a god, so how could she know the secret in Concubine Ningjia's heart. Concubine
Ningjia stroked the flower of the ghost orchid and laughed, with a mocking tone in her voice: "I met him because of this ghost orchid. At that time, I thought I had met the love that would last until death, and I also fantasized about true love."
Foxi pursed her lips tightly.
Concubine Ningjia laughed again: "I was also a high and mighty princess of Yijia Kingdom. At that time, Yijia Kingdom was still on good terms with Nantong Kingdom, but I met the current emperor, and he made a promise to me. Everyone knows that the people of the royal family of Anjun Kingdom are all affectionate people, so I really believed him..."
Foxi narrowed her eyes and said in confusion: "Yijia Kingdom?"
Concubine Ningjia smiled bitterly, "I forgot. There is no Yijia Kingdom now. There is only a small tribe."
Foxi roughly understood, and then In a smug tone, "Nantong is now beginning to stir again."
Concubine Ning Jia shook her head, "Nantong was indeed powerful in the past, but it has been on the decline since the death of the previous national teacher."
Fo Xi took a sip of tea, "I heard that the current national teacher of Nantong is a woman?"
Concubine Ning Jia nodded, "I have seen that woman, she is very beautiful, and her name seems to be Yan Yin."
Fo Xi was shocked when she heard the name, and looked at Concubine Ning Jia with wide eyes, her eyes were full of surprise.
Isn't Yan Yin my mother's name?
