Inside the Oborozuki Palace.
Liu Linglong walked barefoot on the cashmere carpet.
She held half a purple Ganoderma lucidum in her hands, examining it closely. She had already eaten half of it. The effect was extremely good.
"This Ganoderma lucidum has excellent ingredients. There is only one Ganoderma lucidum. It is priceless and would cost at least a thousand taels of silver."
"Isn't this perfect? We can grind it into powder and mix it into Her Majesty's food. Over time, Her Majesty's health will improve significantly."
The maidservant beside her was overjoyed.
"The imperial physician said that Your Majesty is too weak to take tonics. First, take this Ganoderma lucidum, then the Cordyceps sinensis, and finally the snow lotus. Although these things cannot cure Your Majesty, they can regulate Your Majesty's body and make Your Majesty healthier."
"But these things don't weigh much."
Liu Linglong's delicate brows furrowed slightly.
The rest of the items were probably confiscated by her sister-in-law and her family.
She didn't believe that Ning Hongze had only brought such a small amount of stuff into the palace.
Ning Hong always brought large and small bags into the palace.
Aside from the fact that the Emperor never favored Ning Zixin, Ning Zixin was always someone that others envied.
Ning Hong gave away something so precious without hesitation.
She lowered her eyes slightly, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.
Just then, Lanxin returned.
Lan Xin was the palace maid who stopped Ning Hongze.
"Lanxin, how are you?"
"He didn't even glance at me." Lanxin was also somewhat frustrated.
She had heard that men are inherently sadistic and demanding, and the more willful and capricious a girl is, the more vividly they remember her and the more precious she will be in the future. On the contrary, gentle and tender girls are easily forgotten once seen.
However, this method does not seem to suit Ning Hongze.
Thinking back to the moment Ning Hongze left, the way she looked at her was as if she were a fool.
Isn't she just an idiot?
Won't you fall for it?
Lan Xin is already so beautiful, and he doesn't even care? Does he expect her to step up herself?
Liu Linglong stroked her face. After eating Ganoderma lucidum for a period of time, her complexion had improved a lot. If Ning Hongze could be of use to her and bring her more good ingredients, then her health would definitely get better and better. Perhaps, she could even give birth to a son or daughter for the Emperor.
"Okay, next time, I'll try it myself."
"Your Majesty, why not have the Emperor issue a decree?"
Lanxin asked, puzzled.
“No need. Even if His Majesty issues an edict, Ning Hongze might not agree. He can just tell His Majesty directly that he hasn’t found it, so what can His Majesty do?”
While Liu Linglong was anxiously thinking about how to deal with Ning Hongze, a group of matchmakers arrived at the Ning family.
There were old and young people, as well as some who were eloquent.
What are you doing?
As soon as Ning Hongze entered the door, the people who had been surrounding his father, Ning Hao, immediately surrounded him.
“Young Master Ning, it is natural for men to marry when they are of age, and for women to marry when they are of age. I have quite a few girls I would like to recommend to you.”
"What good stuff do you have? Mine is much better."
Another matchmaker pushed past the one in front and twisted her body as she spoke.
"I'm sorry, we don't have any plans to get married at the moment."
"Young Master Ning, please take a look. Look at all the beautiful women here. Mr. Ning, you should also take a look. They are absolutely gorgeous."
The matchmaker was waving a picture book around.
This album was painted by the most famous painter of the time.
The portraits of beauties inside are so lifelike, depicting the appearance of each girl with remarkable clarity.
However, there is some exaggeration in this.
For example, the young lady in this family whose name the matchmaker loudly proclaimed.
"Young Master Ning, this Miss Gao is beautiful and intelligent. Would you like to take a look?"
Ning Hong did not reply; he had met this Gao family girl before.
He has a narrow-minded personality, high cheekbones, and looks somewhat mean.
In particular, when he saw her, she was flirting with a man.
Moreover, as far as he knew, the Gao family only had this one daughter.
"You... were you sent by Master Gao?"
Ning Hong suddenly spoke up.
The matchmaker was taken aback.
Ning Hongze's expression was a little off, but that didn't stop her, as a matchmaker, from praising the person to the skies.
“Miss Gao, ever since you met the young master once, you have been captivated by him. As the saying goes, those who are destined to meet will meet even if they are thousands of miles apart. This must be a destiny bestowed upon you two by the heavens.”
"Heh, that's true. I've only seen her once, and she was lying in another man's arms. Now she says she's taken a liking to me? What, is she pregnant and trying to take advantage of me?" Ning Hong scoffed.
As soon as the words were spoken, the matchmaker's face turned pale.
"Young Master Ning, you can't just say things like that."
"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake? What did the Gao family girl shout back then? 'Liu Lang'? You're not trying to trick me into marriage, are you?"
"Young Master Ning, you mustn't talk nonsense." The matchmaker was completely dumbfounded.
Even the other matchmakers' faces turned ugly.
As a matchmaker, her reputation is paramount.
If word gets out that she's a marriage fraudster, who will want to be her matchmaker in the future?
However, she was indeed aware of the Gao family's affairs.
Miss Gao was indeed pregnant. However, this was a secret, as the Gao family did not want her to marry that Liu Lang.
Miss Gao said that if she couldn't marry Liu Lang, she would only marry Ning Hongze.
What kind of family is the Ning family?
Even if Miss Gao is innocent and pure, it doesn't necessarily mean she's good enough for him.
But Miss Gao refused, making a scene at home, so in the end they had no choice but to give in and spent a lot of money to find a matchmaker.
The Gao family was well-off, so Miss Gao had always been pampered and spoiled growing up. She only saw the Ning family once by chance, but had no idea who the Ning family was.
She smugly believed that as long as she took a liking to someone, the Ning family would certainly not object, given how wealthy they were.
“This was all done by Ms. Gao on her own initiative; the Gao family was unaware of it.”
Upon hearing Ning Hongze's question, the matchmaker immediately sold out Miss Gao. Since the Gao family was the one paying her, she naturally had to protect the Gao family.
"And what about you? Let me see." Ning Hong's sudden remark stunned all the matchmakers.
He casually took the portrait of a beautiful woman from one of the matchmakers' hands. The matchmaker was stunned for a moment, then her face lit up with ecstasy.
"Young Master Ning, Master Ning, look, the portraits of beauties in my hand are all innocent." After saying that, he glanced sideways at the pale-faced matchmaker.
"He is indeed innocent, but his appearance is different from the pictures in your album."
"Look at this girl. Although she is incredibly beautiful, I've seen her before. She has pockmarks."
"And this one, nice face, but very muscular build, not the kind that weighs around 100 pounds, I estimate at least 200 pounds."
"And this, this, and this..."
Before Ning Hong could finish speaking, the matchmakers panicked and quickly closed the portrait of the beauty and left.
If they keep talking, they'll all lose their jobs.
