Ning Wan ran to the banquet hall as if she was running away. Although she didn't say anything, Leng Li still found out how the queen made things difficult for her.
"Although the empress said she wanted to punish the princess, she just asked the princess to change her clothes and didn't do anything!"
When he learned that Ning Wan had been slapped and forced to take off her clothes, Helian Mochuan tightened his grip on the armrests of his wheelchair. Her woman had been bullied like this by these people.
"By the way, Your Majesty! The hairpin Miss Ning is wearing today seems to be different. After the queen saw it, her expression changed drastically. I don't know why!"
Hairpin? Helian Mochuan's mind flashed, and he thought of the warm color Ning Wan passed by her.
"Of course it's because you feel guilty. You go and protect Wan'er secretly. Anyone who dares to bully her will be beaten back by me!" Leng Li nodded. In his heart, he was actually very jealous of Ning Wan for making Helian Mochuan worry so much.
But thinking of being bullied by the queen, Leng Li also defended Ning Wan. After all, Princess Pingfeng was full of evil and tyrannical in the capital. Now she is getting more and more unwilling to restrain herself.
At this time, Princess Pingfeng was still crying beside the queen: "Mother, that Ning Wan, you must not let her go. Why is such an ugly creature trying to get close to the prince's brother? The emperor values her so much, and he also gives her such a gift.
Even Wan Jun doesn’t have palace attire!”
The queen had a headache due to the noise, and was helpless towards her niece.
"Okay, stop arguing. Tell me about you. In front of so many people, you attacked her. Aren't you just waiting for people to catch you? So what if the emperor falls in love with her? She has never been married before.
My abandoned wife cannot be the crown princess!" After the queen finished speaking, Xia Wanjun immediately burst into tears and laughed.
"Really, what you said is true, right?" How could the queen not know Xia Wanjun's thoughts? The Xia family also hopes that their daughter can marry the prince and continue the queen's glory.
But even though the queen wanted to help her, she also knew that this seemingly-looking Princess Pingfeng was not the material to be a princess at all.
"Now, who you want to marry depends on who your prince brother likes! The emperor has warned me a long time ago that I am not allowed to interfere in this matter. You, it is better to calm down a little, so as not to expose the truth!"
Xia Wanjun nodded quickly and said: "Don't worry, I will listen to you, and the prince brother has always liked me, so I think she will definitely choose me!"
The Queen did not respond to Xia Wanjun's words. In fact, the Queen and the Crown Prince had already discussed this matter about who to choose as the Crown Princess. However, the title of Princess Pingfeng would not fall to Princess Pingfeng even after many choices.
on the head.
Although she is the Queen's biological niece, she is not the only niece who is the Queen's in-laws.
The prince's concubine selection banquet made the banquet hall crowded with people. The flowers in the banquet were all ladies from various houses. In addition, there were several ladies from famous families. Among them, the best ones were like a hundred flowers blooming, which made people dazzled.
.
"Ning Wan from the Duke's Mansion, Miss Ning has arrived!"
The eunuch suddenly shouted loudly, making everyone present quiet down. Ning Wan wanted to go in quietly and find a secluded corner to sit down, but she did not expect that there would be a loud announcement from a palace official.
However, she did not panic, but slowly walked into the banquet hall.
"Miss Ning, the emperor has ordered you to take a seat!" After saying this, a young eunuch came forward to lead the way. Ning Wan was sitting in the upper seat, and she was actually sitting opposite the prince, which made the people below start talking.
"Who is this young lady from the Duke's palace? Is she wearing palace clothes?"
"You don't know, right? This palace dress was given by the emperor. Maybe the emperor fell in love with her..."
The people below were whispering, very curious about Ning Wan's identity, and more speculating about her trip.
Zi Su knelt down and sat beside her. This was an honor she had never had before. Even the royal family and nobles were not allowed to bring their own personal maids. But Ning Wan was allowed to do so, which was even more surprising.
Also participating in the concubine selection banquet were the other two daughters of the Duke's Mansion, Ning Xianer and Ning Xueyao. Because they were concubines, they were ranked last. Seeing Ning Wan's scenery, Ning Xueyao's eyes were filled with excitement.
It's all jealousy.
"Fox Mei embryo, I don't know what kind of fox magic she used to confuse the Holy One!" Ning Xueyao said angrily.
"Xue Yao, this is the palace, be careful what you say!" Ning Xian'er scolded Ning Xueyao for a few words, and she could only shut her mouth aggrievedly.
Everyone was eagerly waiting for the prince to arrive, but Ning Wan was very calm, sitting with her head lowered and focused on nothing.
Others may want to compete for the crown princess, but to Ning Wan, she is here to watch the fun today.
"Miss, be careful!" Zisu naturally heard the discussion and whispered in Ning Wan's ear.
Ning Wan smiled and shook her head and said: "Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion!"
Noon has arrived, and the prince and other princes began to enter the banquet hall one after another, including Helian Mochuan. But what Ning Wan didn't expect was that Helian Mochuan was sitting next to her, which was embarrassing.

"Miss Ning, I haven't seen you for many days. Miss Ning has become more and more graceful!"
