The Empress suddenly stepped down and grasped Ning Zixin's hands in both of them. "Good sister, thanks to you, I have escaped a calamity."
The Empress smiled, looking at Ning Zixin with a touch more warmth in her eyes.
This girl is really interesting.
Most people wouldn't make such a fuss about this.
Now the entire court knows that someone is plotting to harm her, the Empress, so they must be trembling with fear.
Although it's not conducive to uncovering the real culprit, she's now completely safe. However, she's disrupted the mastermind's operations, and Ning Zixin is in danger.
Ning Hongze's face looked terrible.
Zixin is indeed too naive.
"Your Majesty?" the Empress called out again.
"Please speak."
"How about letting my younger sister Jieyu stay in my Kunning Palace for a while?"
Since she took the blame for her, she should naturally protect her.
"In that case, Your Majesty, I'm entrusting my younger sister to you."
The palace banquet ended inconclusively. Ning Zixin followed the Empress to Kunning Palace, and Qin Mu followed as well. As soon as he entered, he couldn't help but bang heavily on the table twice.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry, I'm fine."
"Are you stupid? Why did you have to take the Empress's cup? Is it because I spoil you too much that you can't distinguish between superiors and inferiors?"
No, I didn't. And besides, how have you spoiled me?
Ning Zixin stared wide-eyed.
The Empress coughed lightly twice, "Your Majesty, please be careful with your words. Just now, Consort Jieyu saved my life."
"—" I almost forgot about this.
Although she was worried that Ning Zixin would be harmed, Ning Zixin did indeed save the Empress. Without Ning Zixin, the Empress would definitely have been in trouble.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go and see Consort Liu? Today's events happened so suddenly, I wonder if Consort Liu will be frightened?" Seeing that the Emperor seemed to want to say something more, the Empress quickly spoke up. "Consort Liu is gentle by nature and is pregnant. If you don't go to see her, I'm afraid she will start to overthink things."
Upon hearing the Empress's words, Qin Mu subconsciously looked at Ning Zixin.
However, Ning Zixin didn't seem to pay much attention to him; all her attention was focused on observing Kunning Palace.
"Your Majesty, you are truly amazing."
What does this mean?
"According to my brother, you have such good taste."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, did Her Majesty arrange these flowers?"
The Empress nodded slightly, and was immediately showered with compliments. It wasn't just Ning Zixin who received them, but also the two maids behind her. The Empress laughed incessantly with all sorts of effusive praise.
"Your Majesty, you are truly amazing."
Ning Zixin clasped her hands together, her face full of admiration.
"If you want to learn, I can teach you flower arranging."
In the Qin Dynasty, young ladies from wealthy families were required to learn flower arranging. Although Ning Zixin's family was extremely rich, these were skills that money couldn't buy to master.
The fact that the Empress was willing to teach her was truly beyond her expectations.
Watching his first wife chattering away with his second wife, completely ignoring him, Qin Mu felt a vague emptiness in his heart.
He glanced at the two of them again, then turned and headed towards the Longyue Palace.
Strangely enough, from the very beginning, his thoughts were entirely focused on Ning Zixin, even to the point that he temporarily forgot about Linglong.
this??????
Qin Mu sighed and frowned.
For the time being, I can't figure out what I'm thinking.
Women are the most sensitive.
The events at the palace banquet, and the fact that the Emperor left directly with the Empress and Ning Zixin without even looking at her, all indicated that the Emperor's heart had changed.
She stroked her belly, sat quietly in front of the dressing table, and looked at herself in the bronze mirror.
She is still so beautiful.
But that man has already grown tired of seeing it, hasn't he?
The Empress and the Emperor were childhood sweethearts, growing up together since they were young, and their affection was naturally unmatched by others. However, Liu Linglong also knew clearly that the Emperor's neglect of her this time was definitely not because of the Empress.
Is it Ning Zixin?
She stole her ingredients, so does she have to steal her favor?
'His Majesty has arrived.'
Just as Liu Linglong was feeling sorry for herself, Lan Xin rushed in.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has arrived."
"real?"
Liu Linglong's eyes lit up instantly. She immediately touched her temples and looked in the bronze mirror to see if her makeup was smudged.
She didn't notice at all that Lanxin behind her was also smoothing her hair, and even took out a blooming flower and pinned it to her hair bun.
It was already late, and the Emperor had come to Longyue Palace in the middle of the night; he certainly wasn't going to leave.
Her mistress is pregnant with the emperor's child and is unable to serve him in bed. If she wants to keep the emperor, she will certainly need my help.
Lanxin touched her face. She was quite beautiful, even more so than some of the concubines. She thought the Emperor wouldn't mind.
"His Majesty has arrived, Miss must insist that he stay overnight." Seeing that Liu Linglong seemed to be busy dressing herself up and hadn't considered her at all, Lanxin frowned her delicate brows and whispered in her ear.
"Stay?"
Liu Linglong was taken aback. Why should she stay? She was pregnant with the emperor's child. How could she serve him in bed? Even if she was willing to give in, the emperor might not allow her to take the risk.
She was about to ask a few more questions when she saw Lanxin suddenly smile gently, touch the words on her hair, and suddenly she understood.
“Miss, I am also a member of the Liu family, and I am willing to sacrifice myself for you.” Lanxin knelt down.
