Chapter 72 Turning a blind eye

Ruixue thought she had escaped the disaster of entering the palace to thank her.

But the next day, as soon as she finished washing, a small sedan took her from Prince Ning's Mansion to the gate of the imperial city.

The man who came to pick him up was the father-in-law in charge of the palace. Guyu couldn't stop him, so he had to let Ruixue go first. He went to see Prince Ning who was out training to find a solution.

In front of the imperial city gate, Ruixue got off the sedan chair. Jiang Huai was waiting for her with a gloomy look. Ruixue knew the rules and stepped forward to salute and greet her.

"Why is father here?"

"Hmph, you think you can sit back and relax after marrying Prince Ning and forget that your surname is Jiang? You still need me to mention something about entering the palace to express gratitude."

Ruixue lowered her eyebrows and said, "I don't dare."

Jiang Huai walked towards the group of tall and majestic palaces.

"Follow me. When you enter the palace, talk less and listen more. If you are asked to do anything, just agree to it."

Ruixue said nothing and raised her heels with extreme caution.

This is not a place where she can act recklessly. This is a place where she can lose her life if she is not careful.

After entering the inner courtyard, Xiao Xing was left behind, and Jiang Huai was separated from Ruixue.

The chamberlains and maids from the palace helped Ruixue up the steps and took her all the way to the Queen's palace.

The palace was glittering with jewels, and there were several graceful and luxurious women sitting on both sides. When they saw Ruixue coming in, they all looked at her back and forth.

When Ruixue went out, her father-in-law was in such a hurry that she didn't have time to change her clothes. She was dressed in ordinary clothes, with her hair tied up casually in the sedan chair.

The queen sitting at the top had a trace of disdain in her eyes. If it hadn't been for the Holy Emperor's instructions, she wouldn't have bothered to play this game. She looked like a coquettish girl, which made people unhappy just to look at her.

Ruixue knew that these high-ranking empresses and concubines were people that she, a novice, could not afford to offend now.

No matter what they want to do today, they can only endure it for now.

Presumably it has nothing to do with him, but mostly because of Prince Ning.

After Ruixue made a circle of salutes, she knelt at the end of the palace near the door. The queen did not ask her to get up, as she seemed to have forgotten that there was a person like Ruixue in the palace.

Chatting and laughing with the ladies in the palace, discussing skin care secrets, glancing at her from time to time, and seeing how well she knelt, I admired the child's perseverance.

After looking at the time, he saw that the time was almost up. He pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, why is Princess Ning still kneeling? You didn't know how to remind me."

After saying that, he waved to Ruixue: "Good boy, get up quickly. Give me a seat, give me a seat, and come to me."

Ruixue took a deep breath, held back the pain in her knees, and walked slowly towards the queen who was standing above her with a decent smile.

The queen held Ruixue's hand affectionately: "According to folk wisdom, you should call me aunt. I came here yesterday during the harvest season and took your palace dish and seal. It's really a pity that I didn't see you."

Just as Ruixue was about to speak, the Queen continued.

"Fengnian is a good boy, but he has a bad temper. His parents are not around, and the Holy One and I are often worried about him. Now that you have entered Prince Ning's Mansion, you have to share the worries with the Holy One and persuade him. Your health is the most important thing.

.When you have a family, don’t always think about returning to the north. Otherwise, you, Princess Ning, are being inconsiderate."

Ruixue nodded and smiled. It turned out that it was for this reason that Zhao Fengnian wanted to leave Kyoto so much.

The Queen has said everything that needs to be said, no matter whether Ruixue is really obedient or fake.

In short, her mission is completed, and the Holy Spirit should be almost done as well.

He smiled and patted the back of Ruixue's hand: "Well, you are such a good boy. You must take these words to heart so that you don't let down this good relationship."

Ruixue smiled and said nothing, but she thought, but she had to cooperate with Zhao Fengnian, right?

The meaning of the Queen's words is very obvious. By assigning you to Zhao Fengnian, you are asked to keep him. If you cannot keep him, you will have betrayed the divine grace.

In the imperial study room, Jiang Huai was also very aggrieved. You didn't say that I was a stranger at first, but you were still responsible for keeping Prince Ning in Kyoto. Isn't it a little late for you to make demands now?

His legitimate daughter looks obedient and has a hundred and eighty thoughts. If she can be obedient, she will be a ghost.

Also, your intention changes day by day, making him very embarrassed, okay?

The emperor doesn't want to let Zhao Fengnian return to the north, at least not now.

Zhao Fengnian was a good sword, a sword that could expand his territory. He did not want this sharp blade to hurt his imperial power, nor did he want to force this good sword too much and let this good sword curl its edge.

He is playing a big game, and doing business with Bishui is just the first step.

To expand territory, we need to fight, and to fight, we need money. Before Bishui has taken this step steadily, he cannot let Zhao Fengnian return to the north to provoke Beique.

He endured the Northern Territory for a while because he had a bigger plot in the future. He wanted to take the military power of the Northern Territory into his own hands. With Zhao Fengnian's sword, he could use it with peace of mind in the future.

He is already making arrangements for the political affairs in the northern border.

Before the Chinese New Year, officials from all over the country would come to Kyoto to report on their duties. Zhao Fengnian could not go back at least until he had arranged the political affairs in the north.

He didn't understand his nephew so well that he couldn't understand why he was newly married on the first day and clamored to go back to the north the next day.

It must be that the girl from Zuo Xiang's family is unhappy. Although when the marriage was originally granted, it was just a delaying measure, and she didn't care whether they would be harmonious after they got married.

But this is a little unreasonable.

He thought that the daughter raised by Jiang Huai should think what he wanted and be used by him just like Jiang Huai.

Now it seems that this is not the case, and I still have to personally come forward and beat the father and daughter.

Jiang Qing seems to have become a lot slower recently, and he has not reached his age. Why can't he even understand his thoughts?

Look at the minister's order, is he doing a good job? Bishui's affairs are so beautifully done.

Isn't it a bit of a compliment to hand over such an important part of Beique to Jiang Huai?

Jiang Huai didn't know that he was so confused that the Holy One, who did not hesitate to give up, had already become suspicious of him.

Not only do I doubt his work attitude, but I also doubt his ability to work.

"Okay, Jiang Qing, go ahead. The girl you raise should be taken care of more."

What can Jiang Huai say? Yes, yes, yes, yes, everything you said is right. He kowtows in fear and apologizes.

The emperor stood up and helped each other: "Why do you need to be like this, father-in-law? Today we are talking about family matters. Let's go, I will go see my nephew and his wife."

Jiang Huai hurriedly climbed up by himself. How dare he ask the Holy One to help him? Some of the Holy One's words should not be taken seriously.

Just listen to the father-in-law and so on. This is obviously a knock on yourself and put some effort into retaining Zhao Fengnian.

Jiang Huai could not enter the concubines' dormitory, so he could only wait for Ruixue to come out in the outer courtyard and give her a few words.

As soon as he saw off the Holy One, he saw Prince Ning Yushu Lanzhi walking toward him.

He wanted to step forward and exchange a few words with his nominal son-in-law, but to his surprise, Zhao Fengnian walked past him as if he had not seen him.

Jiang Huai was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Who in Kyoto would dare to be disrespectful to him?

Why does this son-in-law turn a blind eye to his father-in-law?
