Chapter 744 The elegant and sinister emperor vs. the revengeful princess (5)

Author: Qin Xiaozui

The study instantly became quiet.

Ning Lie locked eyes with Ning Xi and said in a loud voice: "As a member of the Ning family, you enjoy everything the Ning family has given you, so you should be careful in your words and actions for the sake of the prosperity of the Ning family."

"What you did today was to resist and take revenge on the family?"

Ning Xi looked directly into his eyes and said, "Father, if you think I am doing this to take revenge on my family, then you have completely misunderstood me."

"After all, we are all from the Ning family. How could a member of the Ning family do something that would cause them to suffer a loss?"

"We know each other well, don't we?"

"Otherwise, my mother wouldn't have been shot to death on the city wall by you."

Ning Lie's pupils suddenly tightened.

His deceased wife's voice and smile flashed through his mind.

Ning Xi ignored his trance and continued: "I don't want to mention the old things. I have carefully considered my disapproval of the marriage with His Highness the Fourth. His Highness has already found someone he likes. Even if I marry into the Fourth Prince's palace, I will not have a good life."

"

"As a shrewd member of the Ning family, isn't it strange that I want to reject this marriage?"

Ning Lie frowned and said seriously: "This matter has been decided. How can it be a child's play? Don't mention it again in the future."

"Father, I am just informing you." Ning Xi said with an indifferent expression before fluffing her sleeves and leaving, "If you force me, something irreversible may happen."

Ning Xi left the study, and a hurried figure stopped her in the corridor.

She looked at her good-for-nothing brother who was blocking the road, and she didn't learn anything from his mother in terms of observing words and expressions.

Stepmother Liang was a scheming woman, but unfortunately she gave birth to a son who was a loser in love.

"Don't leave. Aren't you pestering His Highness the Fourth Highness all day long and wanting to be His Highness's princess until death? Why did you suddenly change your tune?" Ning Borong asked in confusion.

Ning Xi crossed her arms in front of her and looked at him lightly, "Is this weird? He doesn't like me, but I still have to catch up?"

"The most important thing is, isn't it that you are not qualified to dictate this matter?"

"I don't have a pick-pocketing brother like you."

Ning Bairong lowered his head slightly, as if he knew that his move was inappropriate.

But he immediately laughed out loud, "You don't want to play hard-to-get, do you?"

Ning Xi pointed at him, "You have no right to laugh."

"After all, we are born to the same father. You should consider my feelings, right? You know clearly that His Highness the Fourth is entangled with other women, but you still want to push me into a pit of fire."

Ning Bairong was puzzled, "Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? And he is still a prince."

Ning Xi was very patient with him at this time. Then she thought: "If you marry Guo Zhi and Guo Zhi doesn't let you take a concubine, what will you do?"

"I have Zhi'er alone, so naturally I won't take a concubine." Ning Borong said matter-of-factly.

Ning Xi glanced at the double-standard dog and said, "A good dog doesn't block the way. Get out of the way."

There is nothing to talk about with this kind of person. Let him continue to be the heroine's cannon fodder male supporting character. After some hardship, he will know what reality is.

…

After Ning Xi confessed to Ning Lie, her whole mood relaxed a lot. She knew very well that Ning Lie would never agree to her willful behavior.

But it can be seen from the increasing number of nannies around him.

She threw the embroidery on the table, rubbed her sleepy eyes and lay half on the couch, listening to the rustle of the bamboo in the wind outside the window.

I wonder if the queen received some news, so she was summoned to the palace within a few days.

Ning Xi didn't need to guess to know that this matter must be related to Qin Rui.

The palace maid led her to Weiyang Palace. Ning Xi bowed and saluted, "I have met the Queen."

Empress Chen motioned her to sit down and said straight to the point: "I called you here today because I have nothing else to do. I just want to have a chat with you."

Ning Xi sat down and did not try hard to please Qin Rui's mother as usual.

Anyway, whoever wants to do such a thankless job can do it.

When Empress Chen saw Ning Xi sitting uncharacteristically, as dumb as a block, she couldn't help but think of the spy's reply.

Does she really want to refuse this marriage?

So, she spoke tentatively.

"I heard that Rui'er is getting close to a maid in the Queen Mother's Palace?"

"Do you know her?"

After hearing this, Ning Xi felt that this queen was really good at pretending. Didn't she know better than herself in the harem?

Acting, right? Who can't?

"Are you talking about Guo Zhi?"

"I heard that she grew up with His Highness the Fourth Prince since childhood. They are childhood sweethearts and their relationship is pretty good."

Queen Chen opened and closed the tea cup and said leisurely: "It seems that the Queen Mother has spoiled them."

Ning Xi remained silent. The queen in front of her now seemed like a kind mother. Who knows how she rose from a little Jieyu to a queen.

Just when she was lost in thought, she was brought back by Queen Chen's words.

"Pingyang, do you care about that little palace maid?"

Ning Xi, "I don't care."

Why should you care?

The love between the male and female protagonists does not prevent her from avenging the original owner.

"Very good, come here." Empress Chen waved to her.

"Pingyang, you are the princess, you don't need to care about a little palace maid."

"What's more, compared to a man's total love, the status that man can bring to you is more important."

Queen Chen's thoughtful words did not reach Ning Xi's heart.

Fuck it doesn't matter.

She would never be able to accept a husband with three wives and four concubines, let alone Queen Chen's job of taking care of three palaces and six courtyards.

But in the imperial city, she could still tell lies after seeing ghosts.

"The Queen has taught you a lesson."

Empress Chen patted the back of Ning Xi's hand lovingly, "Don't worry, when you become the fourth princess, your good fortune is still to come."

Haha, does the queen mean that Qin Rui can become the prince or even the new emperor?

It's a pity that she will become the biggest obstacle on Qin Rui's road.

When Queen Chen saw that Ning Xi remained silent, she continued in a low voice: "Your child will be the legitimate son and the only heir. All other women in the house must listen to you, do you understand?"

"Not everyone is lucky enough to receive this kind of honor."

Ning Xi blinked. Empress Chen was very clever. Not only did she give her a big deal, she also threatened her secretly.

She thought she had no other way out except marrying her son.

What's so great about Mommy's Boy Qin Rui.

Let him kowtow and call himself the royal aunt another day!

Ning Xi had nothing to talk about with Empress Chen. She was instilled with the pedantic ideas of three obediences and four virtues when she arrived. She was afraid that she would not be able to control her mood if she stayed any longer, so she left the palace early on excuses.

When passing by the corridor of Weiyang Palace and Cining Palace where the Queen Mother was, a figure suddenly bumped into him from the side.

Ning Xi dodged and the person who came fell to the ground and screamed in pain.

"ah"

Ning Xi frowned when she saw Guo Zhi lying on the ground, "Why are you walking so recklessly?"

If she were an ordinary palace maid, she would have died countless times.

But people still think the reckless heroine is too cute

Guo Zhi raised her head and gave Ning Xi a strong smile, "Princess, I just want to come over and salute you."
