Ning Wan didn't say anything. Zi Su hurried over and put a cold handkerchief on Ning Wan's face. He Lianfeng looked at Ning Wan distressedly and frowned.
At the palace banquet, as a prince, he could not move too far away, and He Lianfeng knew that the closer he got to Ning Wan, the more danger he would bring to Ning Wan. The palm prints on her face were proof of this.
Ning Xian'er felt very happy when she saw this scene. Now that Ning Wan was in the limelight, someone probably couldn't stand it and gave her some power, otherwise she wouldn't be so embarrassed.
"Eldest sister, why are you injured so badly? What should I do if my appearance is disfigured? There are some ointments here, why don't you let me help you put them on? The swelling will go away faster!" Ning Xianer walked over with an anxious look on her face.
, looking very concerned about Ning Wan.
He also took out the ointment. After smelling it, Ning Wan looked at Ning Xian'er with cold eyes and said, "Sister, I'm serious. It's such a waste to use such a good moisturizing cream on my face. Sister, I'd rather
Keep it for yourself!”
"You ungrateful thing!" He Lianxuan's face darkened, he came over and pulled Ning Xian'er up, and looked at Ning Wan with disdain.
"Xian'er, you'd better not waste all your efforts. People may not appreciate it! He is already an ugly monster, and it would be better if his face is smashed!" He Lianxuan rolled his eyes at Ning Wan with disgust and pulled Ning Xian'er away.
Go sit next to me.
"Your Highness, the eldest sister is my biological sister. As a younger sister, how can I ignore..."
Ning Xianer's behavior is enough. She usually likes to be pretentious, but now she is even more proficient.
Her innocent attitude made Ning Wan even more ungrateful.
"Miss Ning is so arrogant. My sister is so caring and doesn't know how to show appreciation."
When Ning Xueyao saw this, she said loudly: "My eldest sister, she has two faces in front of others and in the back. In front of outsiders, she has always been obedient. In the house, the eldest sister can be very domineering. She treats all the aunts and us."
These concubines are always hitting or scolding me, even my second sister has been scolded many times!"
As expected of a pair of white lotuses, if Ning Wan endured it, they were probably going to accuse Ning Wan of a crime, but before she could speak, the regent next to her actually spoke.
"At a palace banquet, as a concubine of the Duke's palace, you dare to stir up trouble here. Who gave you the courage? Do you think all the princes here are blind? How dare a concubine dare to slander the direct descendants of the Duke's palace?
Girl, just based on this, I can let you go to the inner prison!"
When Helian Mochuan finished speaking, Ning Xueyao was frightened and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"I know you were wrong, please forgive me the regent!" No matter how Ning Xueyao begged for mercy, she was still dragged out by the palace guards.
Ning Xianer lowered her head, but secretly tightened her clothes. She originally thought that Ning Wan had nothing to do with the regent, but now it seems that is not the case!
At this moment, someone from the palace loudly announced: "The Emperor has arrived! The Queen has arrived!"
When the emperor came in person, everyone stood up and saluted. After kneeling, the emperor sat down happily.
"Everyone stand up, get up quickly!" The emperor raised his hand, and everyone stood up.
Emperor Longyan was overjoyed when he saw the princes in front of him.
"Today is the prince's concubine selection banquet. The protagonist is not me. The queen will preside over this matter. The queen will leave everything to you!"
The queen bowed and saluted, and replied with a smile: "I will obey the imperial edict!"
The Queen has prepared three test questions for His Royal Highness to choose a concubine. As the Crown Princess and the future mother of the country, if she wants to be in charge of the affairs of the harem, she must be able to manage the family, at least be able to count and read account books.
So the first question was arithmetic, and many people were rejected by this first question, because ordinary ladies rarely learn these things. They may be good at playing, playing, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they are not familiar with arithmetic.
Although the test questions are tricky, many people have done it. Ning Wan sat quietly and had no intention of answering the questions. The queen raised her eyebrows, looked at Ning Wan and asked: "Miss Ning, why don't you do it?"
Ning Wan cupped her hands and saluted: "Today is the banquet for His Royal Highness to choose his concubine. I am a married woman. How can I tarnish the reputation of His Highness?"
The queen looked suddenly enlightened and said: "Look, look, how could I have forgotten this! Miss Ning is the wife of the lower court, so naturally she has no connection with the royal family! However, the emperor attaches great importance to it.
Miss Ning, it would be a pity if we missed it like this!"
Overtly and covertly, Ning Wan was scolded as worthless, but the emperor waved his hand after hearing this.
"I asked Ning Wan to come here today, not to choose a concubine! Ning Wan, the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Palace, comes from a famous family! Now in the capital, no one knows the name of the eldest lady of the Duke's Palace. The Queen does not know. Ning Da
The young lady has superb medical skills and has saved many people's lives. People call her a living Bodhisattva!"
After saying this, Ning Wan stood up immediately and knelt down with a plop.
"Your Majesty's words have offended my daughter. My daughter only knows some medical skills and saved a few people. It's not worth mentioning!"
Ning Wan herself couldn't figure out what the emperor wanted to do with her.
