Chapter 52

A few days later, Chen Ning accompanied Mrs. Chen to various temples to fulfill his wishes. When Mrs. Chen was ill and rushed to seek medical treatment, she donated generous sum of money from incense and oil, hoping to see her again one day. Now Chen Ning is by her side, she naturally happily took her to worship God and fulfill her wishes. Chen Ning was guilty when she knelt down, but she still had a hint of selfishness and luxury, hoping that the gods would send her back with great compassion and mercy. She was not completely tied up by this world.

When I opened my eyes, I still felt old and had no fragrance. The Buddha sat high and ignored her little wish of wandering souls in another world.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Nian led his children and grandchildren with his official positions and his wife to enter the imperial city to worship the New Year. Emperor Dong Yuheng wore a crown and accepted the grand ceremony of the ministers kneeling three times and nine times outside the Kaiming Gate of Kaiming Hall. After the transmission, all officials and the imperial edicts fell down and sang with the chanting man, shouting "Long Live", "Long Live", "Long Live", "Long Live", and "Long Live", and the musicians and the military academy responded in unison. Chen Ning could only hear the "Long Live" sound in the square, which was like thunder, and was endless. A heart of involuntarily surrendered suddenly. This was the emperor's majesty.

After four more prayers, the music stopped. After the rituals of the rituals, the music of Zhonghe Shao was played, and the emperor retreated. She looked up in the crowd and saw only the bright yellow back from a distance.

On the day of the day, there is no need to go to the harem to congratulate him. Chen Ning supported Mrs. Chen and was about to return to the house. An eunuch in the inner court waited for a long time at Chengtian Gate. When she saw her coming out, she immediately went up and said that she had come to invite Mrs. Yan at the order of Concubine Hua Jie. Chen Ning was silent for a moment, but actually refused to do so.

After the eunuch left, Mrs. Chen said with a little concern: "Ning'er, I heard that Concubine Jie once had a sister with you, but you never saw you? You are about to enter the palace, so it's good to have a good relationship with her."

Chen Ning lowered her eyes, then smiled and said, "I have a special status now, so it's really hard to enter the harem." She has never seen Hua Nongying again since she was drunk and flirted in Anyang Palace that day. Hua Nongying abandoned her for her own selfishness, which really made her feel heartbroken.

Although it was a refusal, Mrs. Chen felt it was reasonable. So she smiled and stopped saying more.

After returning to the carriage, Mrs. Chen talked to her, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Ning'er, Master and I have something to discuss with you."

Seeing that she was speaking seriously, Chen Ning knew that there was something important, so he straightened his body and said, "Mother, please speak."

Mrs. Chen thought about it, then shook her hand and looked at her and said, "Next year is the year of the palace talent show again. Mei'er has not yet decided on the fifteenth year. She was planning to enter the palace for the next year. But now you recognize your ancestors and will enter the palace as a concubine soon. Your father is not sure about it. I would like to ask you for your mother, do you want Mei'er and Ling'er to enter the palace to accompany you?"

This matter really stumped Chen Ning. According to her opinion, it would be better not to enter the palace, but the matter of choosing a show girl is more than just a girl's future. I'm afraid it's the future of a big family. How can she help them make decisions as an outsider? Besides, next year... she doesn't know where she is.

"As far as my father is concerned," Chen Ning had no choice but to say.

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she smiled and patted her, "Good child, I'll tell your father. It's okay for Ling'er to let Mei'er enter the palace, so that she can serve you in the palace." Although Chen Mei was a concubine, she was raised by her side since she was a child, and Chen Mei was filial on weekdays. She really felt sorry for her, but when Chen Ning came back, she immediately distinguished her relatives. After all, her biological flesh and blood were different.

Chen Ning smiled, not commenting.

When he arrived at the gate of Chen Mansion, Chen Ning jumped down and helped Mrs. Chen get out of the car. Suddenly, a familiar call came from behind: "Sister-in-law."

Chen Ning turned his head suddenly, "If it weren't Li Zixuan, who would be! At this time, he stood under the gate with a sick look on his face, and there was a little less romantic nobleman.

Chen Ning was suddenly happy at first, and then he remembered the sudden change now, his expression suddenly became complicated, and his smile slowly disappeared, "Zixuan!"

Seeing this, Li Zixuan's eyes became even more dim and he walked to his face.

"Ning'er, this is..." Mrs. Chen, who got off the carriage, looked at the handsome man in front of her in confusion. If she heard it correctly, he called Ning'er "sister-in-law", could it be...

Chen Ning came to his senses and introduced Mrs. Chen. Li Zixuan bowed deeply, "Li Zixuan, a grass-roots person, has seen Mrs. Chen Er."

Chen Zhang called "Don't give me a gift" and looked at me secretly, thinking that although this person is a businessman, he is not bad at etiquette and has no bad habits. When he sees himself, he is neither humble nor arrogant. He thinks that his brother is also good, but it's a pity that he is a short-lived person...

Chen Ning woke up and didn't have time to ask him in detail why he looked sick. The first thing he thought of was that he returned to Changyang again. Wouldn't he not obeying the order? She frowned and turned her head and said, "Mom, since Zixuan is here, I will go back to Li's mansion with him."

Mrs. Chen wanted to stop her, but due to etiquette, Chen Ning had not yet entered the palace and was still the wife of the Li family. The Li family came to pick her up, how could she not return her? "Don't worry, don't worry, you should change the court uniform first." Alas, this court uniform is still the imperial edict of the Li family.

Li Zixuan said, "The second wife is right. Sister-in-law, I brought Bai Zhi too, so I still asked her to serve as your personal maid." After that, he waved to the carriage of the Li Mansion. Bai Zhi quickly got out of the carriage, ran to Chen Ning, and called out with a smile: "Madam!"

Chen Ning returned to his yard, Bai Zhi had explained the situation along the way. It turned out that not only Li Zixuan had returned, but he actually persuaded the two elders of the Li family to bring them together. His original intention was to temporarily live in Changyang, which was blocked and kept Chen Ning safe. Unexpectedly, he ran back and forth without stopping, but on the way he heard rumors, saying that the chastity widow Mrs. Yan was the granddaughter of the third duke's grandfather, and the goddess of the goddess, etc. Li Zixuan felt that it was not good, so he rushed to Changyang, the owner of the Li Mansion was no longer there. He learned about the incident from Mao Da's mouth. He had a high fever at night due to overwork. After finally taking the medicine, he was better. This morning he struggled early in the morning and guarded the door of the Chen Mansion. He had just met her.

Chen Ning listened to her silently and sighed.

Mrs. Chen asked Eunuch Hong and her eldest maid Xiao Liu to lead four or five maids to drive the carriage of Chen's mansion to accompany Chen Ning back to the Li Mansion. After hearing the news, the two elders of the Li family entered the front room. Chen Ning, who was waiting there, immediately stepped forward and knelt straight in front of the two elders, "The daughter-in-law is unfilial."

The two elders quickly helped her up, but Chen Ning refused and insisted on kowtowing to them three times.

Mr. Li looked at each other and sighed, saying, "God will do this, and the eldest daughter-in-law doesn't have to feel guilty. It's his great blessing for my son Qi to be with you. I and your mother don't have that blessing." So much so, it's useless to say more.

"Since you were brought back by Ziqi, my mother knew that you were not an ordinary woman. I didn't expect that the goddess descended to earth. My Li family has been blessed for several lifetimes to get you with you day and night." Mrs. Li wiped her tears and said.

Chen Ning was so guilty that he could hardly raise his head. The two elders worked tirelessly and rushed to Changyang on the eve of the Spring Festival, just because they pity her for being lonely! But she disappointed them and was in a dilemma!

Li Zixuan barely supported himself and sat on the chair. Xiaolian held the freshly simmered medicine soup. He took it weakly, but his eyes were dark. His hands were unable to scatter and his body tilted to the side.

"Second Young Master!" Xiaolian screamed.

"Call the doctor!"

After a panic, the doctor invited to take the pulse for the sleepy Li Zixuan, prescribed a prescription, and then left afterwards. Chen Ning heard the doctor say that there was nothing serious, so he felt relieved. She looked at the two elders of the Li family who were worried, and made a decision in her heart. She called Eunuch Hong to walk aside and said, "I want to stay here for New Year's Eve. Please tell the emperor and the Shen family."

This light and swinging sentence surprised Eunuch Hong. His ancestors went to the Tian family to say this? How could she just say it?

"Madam..." Eunuch Hong wanted to persuade him, but was interrupted by Chen Ning.

"This is my only request."

When Dong Yuheng learned that everyone in the Li family had arrived in Changyang, he knew that Chen Ning must have something to ask for. However, after hearing the eunuch's report, his face still sank, and after a while, he spit out the word "qualified".

So she said goodbye to the Li family and broke up the relationship.

Chen Ning received permission and went to Chen's mansion to avenge Chen Nian and Chen Tai's husband. Chen Zhang grabbed her, "Mom has never had a New Year's dinner with you, can't this wish be satisfied?"

Chen Ning comforted, "I'm back in the first year of junior high school."

After returning to Li's mansion, Chen Ning went to the main courtyard to chat with the two elders who had been having lunch break. He could not tell them many things. Chen Ning cared about their bodies, asked carefully about their journey, and asked about the safety of their relatives in Zhongzhou, which was no different from serving them on weekdays.

But Mrs. Li looked at her and wiped her tears secretly several times.

When Li Zixuan woke up, the three of them hurried over to visit him. Li Zixuan, with the maid feeding medicine, leaned weakly against the head of the bed, responded to his parents' concerns, met Chen Ning's concerned eyes, and said, "Dad, mom, I have something to say to my sister-in-law."

The two elders looked at each other, sighed, nodded, and left with the idle people.

Chen Ning sat on the embroidery stud beside the bed and asked softly: "Is it better now?"

Li Zixuan nodded weakly, stared at her and smiled bitterly, "It's still too late."

"Yes." Chen Ning picked up the medicinal soup that had been half drunk while taking it, picked it up and scooped it a spoonful of it for feeding it to him.

Li Zixuan drank it but didn't feel bitter. "Your Majesty must love you very much."

"Um."

"Do you want to get out?"

Chen Ning shook his head, "What are you doing and want to get out? I went to the palace to be the queen."

His pale lips raised, "Yes, it's better to be an empress than to be a widow."

Chen Ning chuckled, "Yes."

Li Zixuan smiled and shook two turbid coughs. The cough gradually stopped and his smile stopped. He looked at her and said slowly: "I... I'm sorry." He clearly agreed to his brother to take good care of her, but now he is so helpless.
