Chapter 183 The Queen Mother Arranges a Marriage
Looking at the bloody wolf corpse in front of him, Xiao Nanyu froze.
The eunuch beside the Crown Prince pinched his orchid fingers and screamed, "Get it away, get it away quickly, don't bump into His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Crown Prince Xiao Nanyu looked at his younger brother, feeling both angry and helpless. He gritted his teeth and pointed at Xiao Nanchen, his hand trembling as he said, "Seventh Brother, you...you..."
"Your Majesty, there's no need to thank me."
After saying that, Xiao Nanchen turned around and winked at Shen Ning. Shen Ning withdrew his gaze and calmly pulled Xie Yunqing around, and the group quickly left.
The group of people who had just been chased by the wolves, supporting the sick and breathless young man, also hurriedly fled from the spot, not wanting to get into trouble.
Arriving outside the Chuxiu Palace, they could see from afar the ceremonial guards escorting the Empress and the Queen Mother into the Chuxiu Palace. A palace attendant beside them whispered, "The Empress Dowager and the Empress have also arrived."
Xie Yunqing hummed and said to Shen Ning, "Be careful when you go in later."
After all, they are the two most noble women of the dynasty, so it’s always better to be cautious.
Shen Ning responded.
When she entered Chuxiu Palace, Shen Ning found that the atmosphere inside was quite good and not as solemn as she had imagined.
In addition to the Queen Mother and the Empress, Concubine Ye and Concubine Xu, whom Shen Ning had never met, and her aunt Concubine Xie were all in Chuxiu Palace.
After all, it is a happy event for the royal family to have a new baby, and the seventeenth prince is so young that he has no competitiveness, and his in-laws have no power, so he is the kind of person who can live a stable life.
Everyone was happy to join in the fun
That is why Concubine Ma was very relaxed, looking at her child with a smile and a face full of maternal love.
When Shen Ning and Xie Yunqing were led in, they immediately apologized for being late.
Ma Guiren immediately showed a joyful expression, and while saying that they lived outside the palace and it was late, she came to greet the two of them: "Mrs. Shen and Xiangjun are finally here, and we can finally see what our savior looks like."
The pain from giving birth that day was so severe that she was in a daze, and Concubine Ma didn't even see Chen Ning clearly.
Shen Ning naturally didn't dare to say anything. Seeing that the little prince in Ma Guiren's arms was still crying, his face flushed, she suggested: "Your Majesty, can you try a different way of holding him."
Ma Guiren smiled bitterly: "This ancestor is too difficult to serve, he cries no matter how I hold him."
Shen Ning gestured to her: "Turn over and let His Highness the Seventeenth lie on your arm and try it."
Concubine Ma was a little confused, so Shen Ning washed her hands and helped her put the Seventeenth Prince into an airplane hug position.
Less than a moment after changing positions, a magical scene appeared: the seventeenth prince, who had been crying and no one could comfort him, stopped crying and opened his little eyes. He lifted his eyelids and looked at someone with some disgust, then closed his eyes and fell asleep like lightning.
Lady Ma was pleasantly surprised: "I only knew that the gentleman was an excellent doctor, but I didn't expect that he could even take care of children."
Shen Ning explained with a smile: "After a full month, babies are prone to bloating in the abdomen. In addition to the hot compress method given by the imperial physician, this holding position can make the little prince much more comfortable."
Concubine Ma exclaimed in amazement, and smiled at the Empress Dowager and the Queen at the top, saying, "I was told that this Shen Xiangjun is Little Seventeen's noble... Later, Shen Xiangjun will be in charge of the rolling disaster at the full moon ceremony. What do the Empress Dowager and the Queen think?"
Just now, someone came in from outside and whispered something in the Queen Mother's ear. After that, the Queen Mother kept looking at Chen Ning silently. At this moment, the Queen Mother withdrew her gaze from Chen Ning, smiled lovingly and said to Ma Guiren: "Your son, you can make the decision."
The Queen also nodded with a smile: "Mrs. Chen Xiang was able to save you and your son. I think she is very lucky. It would be great if she could save Little Seventeen from disaster."
"I would like to thank the Empress Dowager and the Empress for their kindness."
Ma Guiren smiled and saluted the Queen Mother and the Queen, then took Shen Ning's hand and was overjoyed: "Then I'll trouble you later."
Shen Ning said: "It is an honor for me to be favored by the ladies."
At this time, the Queen Mother spoke slowly: "First, he saved Old Seven, and then saved Noble Ma and Little Seventeen. I also think that Lord Shen is a blessed man...especially because he has a connection with our royal family."
In a word, the expressions of those who are interested are different.
Shen Ning realized that the Queen Mother was about to arrange a marriage for her...
Sure enough, the next moment, the Queen Mother was heard saying leisurely: "When I saw Chen Xiangjun, I felt a liking for him. We are very compatible. It just so happens that I have a nephew..."
As soon as the Queen Mother mentioned that she had a nephew, Xie Yunyan's eyes flashed and she immediately laughed out loud, "Even the Queen Mother praised me, so it seems that I made the right choice. I shouldn't have said it earlier, but now that everyone is here, I have the guts to tell everyone about this happy event..."
Xie Yunyan smiled and said loudly, "I'm going to arrange a marriage for my good-for-nothing Old Six with Ning Ning, to make it even closer."
The empress dowager's expression suddenly turned cold, and she looked at Xie Yunyan.
Xie Yunyan was frightened, but she held on for the sake of her niece's lifelong event.
Although Shen Ning had sent someone to tell her that she didn't need to worry about this matter, as His Royal Highness Prince Ding had other arrangements, Xie Yunyan was still worried.
Even if she offended the Empress Dowager or the Emperor, she would not let them give their niece to a consumptive patient.
The originally joyful atmosphere in the field suddenly became a little stiff. Concubine Ma didn't know what had happened, but when she heard Xie Yunyan speak, and suddenly remembered the situation of the empress dowager's nephew, she immediately understood.
The next moment, she also smiled and agreed: "The Sixth Prince is gentle and handsome, and Lord Shen Xiang is also talented and beautiful. It is indeed a great joy to have a close relationship."
After saying this, Concubine Ma also received a glare from the Empress Dowager.
However, Xie Yunyan had just been promoted not long ago, and Ma Guiren's status was not high after all, so the words of both of them did not carry much weight.
At this time, Concubine Ye, who had been sitting quietly by the side, spoke.
"Old Six has a soft personality, so he really needs someone who can act more steadily. This Shen Xiangjun is young but acts with moderation, so he is indeed a good match."
Now, even Shen Ning was a little surprised.
She had no connection with this Concubine Ye, yet she offered to help her... The only possibility was because of her relationship with Ye Heng.
The three of them spoke one after another and finally blocked the Queen Mother's words.
But at this moment, Concubine Xu spoke.
"Although the Sixth Prince has a soft personality, he is still a prince. The Emperor, Empress, and Empress Dowager naturally decide on a prince's marriage... If I could choose a suitable match for my son, then I have my eye on the eldest daughter of the Xie family. I will ask His Majesty to arrange a marriage for us tomorrow."
Concubine Xu stopped the three people with just one sentence.
Concubine Ye was originally asked by her nephew to take care of Master Shen Ning. She had just spoken out and earned the Queen Mother's dislike. Now that she was blocked by Concubine Xu, she naturally would not speak again. She cast a helpless look at Shen Ning and leaned back lazily to admire the bright red nail polish on her hands.
Xie Yunyan wanted to speak more, but was stopped by the empress dowager's cold voice: "Xu Fei is right, the prince's marriage is the responsibility of the emperor...it would be better for Xie Fei not to make decisions on her own."
