Chapter 352 Nangong Jin Returns
But now when she thinks about it, she can't help but feel scared when Nangong Jin's face was full of fear, and when Nangong Jin put the sword against Princess Jiahe's neck, she was really afraid that Princess Jiahe would die on the spot. Thinking about it now, Xu Miaomiao can't help but get goose bumps all over her body.
Xu Miaomiao sat in the corner and leisurely ate the food in front of her. Fortunately, most of these royal ladies looked down on her and were unwilling to come up to talk to her. Xu Miaomiao also wanted some peace and quiet, but Jiang Wenyu would glance in her direction from time to time, fearing that she would be ignored by those people. But it was also fine like this, Xu Miaomiao thought secretly.
After a while, Nangong Jin hurried to the palace with an unpleasant look on his face. When Nangong Jin arrived, the whole place fell silent. Nangong Jin bowed slightly to the queen on the main seat, stood up slowly, looked at the woman and said, "Your humble servant greets the queen."
Everyone's eyes were attracted to this young hero. When Nangong Jin was not married yet, he was the one many people in the capital wanted to marry. Even now, everyone still loves him as much, but for some reason, compared to the past, he is less childish and brave, but more mature and rational.
It seems that there is a different flavor to it. When Xu Miaomiao was staring at Nangong Jin in a daze, she suddenly felt a cold gaze. She immediately looked towards the source of the gaze, but she only saw Song Zhijin slowly smiling at her and then remained silent.
Xu Miaomiao immediately withdrew her gaze. If she looked any longer, Song Zhijin would probably dig her eyeballs out.
When the queen on the throne saw Nangong Jin, she remained silent. After a long time, she slowly looked at Nangong Jin and said, "Get up."
Nangong Jin then stood up slowly. Xiao Si at the side had already prepared a seat for Nangong Jin from Nanjing. Nangong Jin walked straight over and did not even look at Princess Jiahe during the whole process.
The Queen frowned in dissatisfaction at this scene, looked at Nangong Jin and said, "Today is your wife's birthday. It's fine if you don't congratulate her, but now you have to go to the military camp for training. I don't know what General Nangong, who is now at peace in the South Country, is busy with?"
Xu Miaomiao, an outsider, could hear clearly what the Queen meant. If Nangong Jin was sensible, he should apologize to the Queen immediately and then explain what happened. But he was Nangong Jin. If he explained and admitted his guilt, he would no longer be the young hero. Nangong Jin looked straight ahead and said, "The people of the world are at peace, but we cannot slack off because of this. Soldiers will become unfamiliar if they are not trained for a day. If I delay the training today because of my wife's birthday, how much time will be wasted for the soldiers, and where will the life and death of the Southern Kingdom be placed? The current emperor also said that diligence can make up for lack of talent. The military strength of the Southern Kingdom is not as strong as that of the Liang Kingdom, so we should make up for it. The Queen's words are not slacking the soldiers in the army."
"You!" When the Queen heard Nangong Jin's words, she frowned in dissatisfaction and angrily slapped the bead table. When everyone saw this, they all thought something was wrong and lowered their heads cautiously.
Xu Miaomiao was also playing the turtle, not daring to raise her head to look ahead. When Song Zhijin saw this, she quickly stepped forward to comfort her and said, "Don't be angry, Madam. Nangong is so loyal and patriotic, shouldn't he be rewarded? Why be angry? Besides, today is Jiahe's birthday, shouldn't she be given priority? Madam, just consider that Jiahe is Nangongjin's wife and forgive her this time!"
Hearing what Song Zhijin said, the woman who had originally frowned slowly unfurled her brows and nodded at Song Zhijin: "You have always been sensible. Since you have said so, I have nothing to say. Jiahe did not blame him, so how can I blame him? Besides, Nangong Xianggong is now an important minister of His Majesty. I can neither say anything nor scold him."
Xu Miaomiao sighed, it was just because of Nangong Jin's casual remarks just now. She didn't expect that the queen would be so petty. But when she thought about it, as the current queen, Nangong Jin lost her face in front of so many people, it was normal for her to say a few words to her. After all, it was none of her business. Xu Miaomiao ate the food in front of her, just hoping that the banquet would end early.
But things did not go as planned. Nangong Jin was sitting in his seat. When he raised his head slightly, he saw Xu Miaomiao who was blocked by the crowd behind him. When Xu Miaomiao felt a gaze, she was a little nervous. But after she felt Nangong Jin's gaze, the second, third, and fourth gazes also slowly came over. Xu Miaomiao felt that everyone was looking at her from head to toe, and she just begged Nangong Jin to stop looking at her.
"I didn't want to talk about this matter, but it's really a big deal. Jiahe is my sister's daughter, so I should be concerned about her. Your Nangong Mansion encountered foreign enemies that day, and many people died. I heard that it was after Madam Xu came that Jiahe was rescued. Is this true?"
When Princess Jiahe heard this, she pinched the handkerchief in her hand calmly, but ultimately said nothing.
Nangong Jin also paused, slowly raised his head, and looked at Xu Miaomiao who was suddenly mentioned. Xu Miaomiao was so scared that the food in her hand almost fell back into the bowl. She quickly swallowed the last bite of food in her mouth. Everyone looked at the queen on the high platform and said, "Queen, it is true."
"Madam Xu, you are really very smart and have great magical powers. No matter what major events happen in the capital, you are always the first to arrive at the scene. Could it be that Madam Xu is the reincarnation of a god?"
The noble ladies around all burst out laughing when they heard this. The Queen's implicit meaning was just to belittle Xu Miaomiao as a woman who loved to join in the fun and meddle in other people's business.
Xu Miaomiao didn't take it seriously. She bowed to the people on the stage and slowly said, "Your Majesty, I didn't do that. I just happened to see this scene when I was sending my child and apprentice back to Nangong Mansion that day. I was fortunate to help Princess Jiahe. I can't say that I saved her. Princess Jiahe, good people have good luck. That's why she escaped that disaster. It was just by chance that I found Nangong Husband to come back early."
