When Xie Ningxia returned to the palace, luckily Lu Yu hadn't come back yet. Huan'er saw Xie Ningxia coming back and hurriedly greeted her, "Mother, you are finally back. Huan'er is really worried about you."
"It's okay, don't you think I'm back?"
Huan'er then took a closer look at Xie Ningxia and said, "Madam, where did you get this cloak?"
"Gu Li's."
"Master Gu? How did the empress meet Master Gu?"
"We met by chance. Huan'er, please change my clothes first."
After hearing this, Huan'er quickly put away Xie Ningxia's cloak and brought other clothes, "Have you found what you want, Madam?"
Xie Ningxia made a "hush" gesture toward Huan'er, "Huan'er, you can go to the palace and ask someone to buy a small courtyard outside the city some other time."
"What are you buying a small courtyard for?"
"Secret base."
Huan'er couldn't understand what Xie Ningxia was talking about, but the empress was always right, "Okay, Huan'er will go another day."
Huan'er was combing Xie Ningxia's hair in front of the dressing mirror, "Ah, ma'am, I forgot one thing."
"What's the matter?"
"Just now, Madam asked someone to send you a message asking you to go back to Xie's Mansion. She said it was important."
Xie Ningxia fiddled with the rouge and gouache on the table, "It's important that I can't see it. There should be someone who needs me again."
Tomorrow, Xie Ningxia returned to Xie's Mansion. Xie Ningxia guessed correctly that it was because of Xie Ruan's marriage. Normally, Xie's mother would not be so concerned about Xie Ruan's marriage. However, since Xie Ningxia married Lu with the identity of Xie Ruan,
Yu, then the Xie family will definitely pay more attention to Xie Ruan's matter.
Xie Ningxia was sitting in the front hall. Huan'er was not with her. Xie Ningxia had arranged for Huan'er to prepare for the small courtyard. Xie Ru'an stood in front of Xie Ningxia and said, "Sister, then Feng Lun has no interest in me at all."
Xie Ningxia put down her tea cup and said, "If you don't like my sister, just change her. There are so many good men in Beijing, why does it have to be Feng Lun."
"My younger sister is not as good as my elder sister. She just wants to find a husband. Why can't my elder sister satisfy even such a small request like Ru An?"
"Sister, Feng Lun is not interested in you. Even if my sister is the queen, I can't force him to marry you."
Xie Ru'an was unhappy when he heard what Xie Ningxia said, "Sister, you can talk to Your Majesty about the marriage, and then Feng Lun won't be able to regret it."
Xie Ningxia heard Xie Ruan say this, "Sister, even if Feng Lun marries you now, do you think you will be happy in the future? Feng Lun can still take concubines, and there is nothing you can do about it."
Xie Ruan is not only envious of Xie Ningxia, but also jealous. Why can Xie Ningxia marry the emperor? Why can Xie Ningxia win the emperor's favor? Why can the emperor not establish a harem for Xie Ningxia?
Xie Ningxia saw that Xie Ruan was unhappy, "Okay, my good sister, I'm going to meet this Feng Lun and see what Feng Lun means to you."
"Really, thank you sister. When will sister go find Feng Lun?"
"Wait a minute, I'll go when Huan'er comes back."
Xie Ningxia knew that Feng Lun should be practicing martial arts in the martial arts hall now, and Huan'er came back after a while, "Huan'er, are everything done?"
"Mother, I've asked someone to take care of everything."
"Well, let's go then."
Seeing that Xie Ningxia was about to leave, Xie's mother ran out from the back hall, "Ning'er, why don't you have lunch at home before leaving?"
"No, I have other things to do."
After Xie Ningxia and Huan'er left Xie's Mansion, Huan'er thought she was going back to the palace, but she didn't expect that the direction Xie Ningxia took was not the direction back to the palace. "Mother, don't we go back to the palace now?"
"No, let's go meet my future brother-in-law first."
Xie Ningxia and Huan'er arrived outside the Wutang gate, "Madam, it seems that the students of the Wutang haven't finished school yet, we have to wait for a while."
"Then just wait."
After standing there for a while, the door of the martial arts hall opened, and all the students who walked out were wearing the same uniforms. Huan'er was dazzled by this, "Mother, how are you going to find this? There are so many students."
Xie Ningxia also stepped up to look, and sure enough she didn't see Feng Lun. When she was about to go back, Xie Ningxia found a group of people and seemed to have seen Feng Lun with them.
Xie Ningxia asked Huan'er to run over and ask them where Feng Lun was. After a while, Huan'er ran back and said, "Madam, they said they don't know either. Feng Lun didn't come to Wutang today, so they have to look for him."
"Then let's go with them. Just think of it as a trip out of the palace. Let's go, let's go."
Seeing that Xie Ningxia was so interested, Huan'er followed her. Soon Huan'er and Xie Ningxia became familiar with that group of people. They didn't know Xie Ningxia and just thought she was a little girl who admired Feng Lun.
Xie Ningxia walked with them, but slowly she felt something was wrong, "What are we doing here?"
"The girl doesn't know something. Brother Feng has a confidant here. Let's go in first to see if Brother Feng is there. The girl will wait here for a while."
Huan'er saw the sign of Li Chun Yuan and said, "Madam, I don't think this Feng Lun is a good person. He actually has a confidant in the brothel."
Xie Ningxia laughed when she heard Huan'er say this, "You think he is not a good person, but my sister doesn't think so."
Xie Ningxia and Huan'er were waiting at the door, but everyone who came and went would glance at them. Xie Ningxia felt strange, so she pulled Huan'er and stood aside. Before she could stand still, Xie Ningxia suddenly noticed a girl coming out of the side door of Lichun Courtyard.
.
"My queen, my queen, don't you think that's Miss Shen?"
Xie Ningxia also discovered it, and upon closer inspection it turned out to be Shen Wan, "How could Shen Wan appear in a place like this?"
"Empress, this Miss Shen can't be..."
"Probably not. Shen Wan should not be short of money. Gu Li is also a minister of the Ministry of War after all. There should be other reasons." This chapter has been completed!
