Wen Ning's spine suddenly froze.

If she had not yet been married and was still the daughter of the Minister of the Honglu Temple, when she met the King of Rui's words, she would certainly not be able to hesitate and would immediately kneel down and give him a big gift.

But according to her current identity, King Rui clearly stated that he deliberately humiliated her in front of everyone, and even used her to humiliate Pei You...

Wen Ning glanced at the sight of many officials who came and went to stop and frowned.

This Rui King is really not a good guy.

He didn't dare to provoke Pei You directly. He knew that he wouldn't take his tricks. If he provoked him, he might even make him unable to get out of Taiwan, so he came to recruit her, a woman who had been kept in the boudoir and had never seen much of the world.

If she was so scared that she knelt down and gave a big gift, wouldn’t Pei You’s face be thrown away by her?

Wen Ning kept lowering her eyes, watching Pei You's hand reaching out, and the back of her hand warmed up, and he gently pulled her to stand up straight.

Before he could speak, she took the lead and said, "Husband, is your brotherly relationship with His Highness Rui so indifferent?"

Her voice was soft and she blinked her ignorant eyes: "Last time, the Fourth Prince treated me so enthusiastically, and after the cousin's wife, the New Year's Eve banquet has always been a family banquet. I thought I would be considered the elder of His Highness Rui when I entered the palace."

"Husband, don't be angry. I will kneel down to King Rui's cousin and give a crawling gift."

It's really...the ghost is not dispersed.

Seeing this, Linglan poured her another glass of wine.

As Wen Ning expected, the person sitting at the banquet was not the Empress, but... King Rui's biological mother, the Empress Xian Concubine.

This countermeasure is much better than his.

She clenched her fists and finally sat back.

Xie Ying smiled and said, "The last time happened, your Wen family was lucky. Next time, you may not be so lucky."

As the banquet was about to begin, there were finally not many people on the table next door, and Wen Ning had time to look at the Princess Rui.

Wen Ning deliberately showed her a smug smile, and she became even more angry.

When she chose clothes and jewelry, she actually paid attention to it. She should not be too luxurious. She could steal the limelight from the palace masters, and she should not be too low-key, making the Duke's Mansion look like she has no face.

King Rui felt a breath of silence, but he had to help Wen Ning's body that was about to go down.

I don’t want Princess Showa not to attend today.

Wen Ning lowered her head and drank tea again.

Therefore, Xie Ying took the title of Xie's legitimate daughter, but she did not have the attitude and demeanor that Xie's legitimate daughter should have, and it was nothing strange.

Unfortunately, Duan Rushuang was unable to enter the palace this year, Wen Lan's grade was not enough, and He Luan was not qualified to enter the palace, otherwise she would not have been so bored.

King Rui's face was red and white, and he wanted to embarrass Pei You in front of everyone. According to his understanding of Pei You, he would definitely protect this little wife behind him and retort him. At that time, he would ask the censor to label him a contempt of imperial power.

He still looks so pitiful.

Wen Ning immediately picked up the unused wine and raised her friendly glass.

Wen Ning looked up and saw Zhao Xizhi in the second row opposite her, raising her chin at this moment, staring at her with gloating expression.

At that time, Xie Changyuan was already old, so he simply adopted a son and a daughter from the side branch to the room. His daughter was Xie Ying, and the son was raised until he was in his teens and got sick again.

Forget it, it’s not interesting to fight with her so childishly.

Before, she was just looking at Xie Ying's face. The jewelry she was wearing on her hair was nothing, but if you look closely, it seemed... it was indeed not as delicate as hers?

She was looking at Xie Ying, and Xie Ying was also looking at her.

What does this mean? The Queen is sick, aren’t you here?

Her mother's family is the largest family, Xie, and her husband is the most hopeful King Rui, who inherits the throne. She will become the queen in the future. One of the empress dowagers is her own aunt, and the other one is her own husband's biological mother. She will be the queen who sits the most steadily in the position of Dayin, no doubt.

With the light of Prince Pei Youzi's wife, her seat was very high this time, and only one of the same wife was in front of her.

But I'm still very angry!

He always underestimates this little girl.

Of course, if the "prince's wife" who came from this small family wants to calm down and be fooled by him and bow to him, it would be very satisfying.

Wen Ning lowered his eyelashes and continued to eat pastries, but Yu Guang swept to Zhao Xizhi with a wine glass and walked over gracefully.

Concubine Xian clearly saw that King Rui suffered a loss at Pei You's hands and deliberately embarrassed her!

I took Linglan and ran away.

I didn't expect Xie Ying to sweep her hair, a trace of coldness flashed through her eyes, and she shook her face directly, ignoring her raised wine glass.

He only gave a little gift to Concubine Xian and walked towards the side table.

Therefore, such words came out of her mouth, making her feel particularly uncomfortable.

Well, the surname Chu in the world is right, but the one who won in the end was not your Chu Xun.

But Xie Ying, who was offended by her just now, did not let her go.

Sure enough, after a while, noble girls frequently came to the table to talk to each other. In front of the princess, she praised her makeup to clothes, from clothing to appearance, and everything was decided, and she only praised her as a fairy who came down to earth.

So she was all from the bunch of things she rewarded by the eldest princess, and she was just in the middle.

Wen Ning was picking up a peanut in his mouth, but he almost choked when he heard this.

I hate others threatening her with the Wen family the most.

Just so happened that she was worried that she would have too many eyes on her today and that she would have done something wrong to lose face in the Duke's Mansion.

I was brought over and raised halfway through, and how could I compare with the eldest daughter who was a good-for-nothing girl like the Queen?

King Rui, who was left in place, felt like he was being fooled, and felt that he could not be fooled by a weak woman: "..."

What she wore on her head was jewelry from the inner court. She chose it specially in order not to make mistakes, and the craftsmanship was naturally excellent. But among her jewelry, it was not very outstanding.

Pei You ignored it and glanced at Wen Ning: "So, when you fooled me, you were so proud of me?"

General Xie was young and had many achievements in combat, and he was the first to form the Southern Expedition Army. Unfortunately, he died in a war in northern Xinjiang fifteen years ago and failed to leave a son and half of his daughter.

Just then, the side dish came. Concubine Xian raised her glass and said a few words of scenes. Please take the chopsticks and start the meal.

After walking out of Xu Yuan, Wen Ning laughed out loud and looked up at me: "How is it? How did I just perform?"

Wen Ning immediately understood her meaning and subconsciously glanced at Princess Rui's hair.

"I'm just kidding with my cousin's wife." He gritted his teeth and smiled not so beautifully. "Why are my cousin's wife still taking it seriously?"

"Cousin of King Rui, don't be angry, either." Wen Ning turned to raise his pitiful eyes and said to King Rui, "My cousin is here for the first time and does not understand the rules in the palace. I will kneel down and bow to you."

It seems that he is sarcastic, but why can't he find evidence?

Fortunately, I toasted Princess Rui next door, not to cause trouble for her.

As he spoke, his eyes glanced gently on Wen Ning's head.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Zhao Xizhi pinch his voice and said, "The queen is as elegant as an orchid, and she does not need anything outside to show herself. But too many low-key words may cause some people... to forget their identity."

"It's just a joke." Wen Ning patted his heart, "I just said that King Rui's cousin is reasonable and understands the righteousness. How could he deliberately make things difficult for me and my husband? Isn't it, King Rui's cousin?"

But is this the truth?

"The convenience is Chaoxia Palace, Linglan, let's take a step first." Wen Ning greeted Linglan who had fallen far away and said to Pei You's blessing, "I wish you a happy and enjoyable drink, a full meal, and see you later."

King Rui: “…”

Wen Ning pretended to raise his hand and touched the hairpin on his head. The sleeves fell down, revealing a green and transparent jade bracelet on his wrist.

She picked up a piece of peach blossom crisp on the table and ate it.

Look at Xie Ying's reaction, she is a princess of Rui, so she won't have any jewelry of this level?

Forget it, no matter what she thinks, she doesn't have to flatter her.

In Xie Ying's opinion, why should she be polite to Wen Ning?

Keeping his eyebrows lowered, he was planning to go to the hall to see a formal greeting.

Wen Ning ignored the eyes of others and ate the vegetables by herself. When she was full, she might as well go to Pei You.

However, before taking two steps, the Xianfei concubine said leisurely: "No need. Even the Empress has not been seen, so she will not be able to see this palace."

Really, her girl's table was about to be touched.

If you don't see me, you won't see me. She is so happy that she doesn't salute her.

Linglan squatted down at the right time, blocking the people next door, and pouring tea for Wen Ning.

Just as he was about to speak back, the concubine Xian who was attending the seat seemed to notice the movement here and looked over and said, "Is it Pei Wen?"

"Husband, it's okay, let's go!" Wen Ning raised her smile, held Pei You's hand and left, without giving King Rui another look.

Since then, Xie Changyuan has been depressed and his name as the chief minister has only been kept open. He has not been involved in court for a long time.

Pei You looked at Wen Ning holding his sleeve, with an innocent soft voice on his face, and was about to carry her behind her to protect her. The coldness of her body was replaced by a smile in her eyes.

Wen Ning: "..."

Wen Ning glanced at the butterfly hairpin on her head. Isn’t it the one she bought at Zhufang Pavilion a few days ago?

Three thousand taels, deliberately put them for her to show?
