Chapter 180 Xiaojiu likes you, I hope you will treat him better in the future
Jun Jiuji looked at Xiao Ning'er's crimson face, picked her up with a smile, and gently placed her on the bed.
"Go to bed early. We will enter the palace early tomorrow morning."
When Ye Yining saw Jun Jiuji covering her with a quilt and sleeping, her heart started beating wildly.
But Jun Jiuji leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Xiao Ning'er, I promised your father that I will cherish you. So, we will consummate the marriage when you are old enough."
Ye Yining's face suddenly turned redder. She covered her face with the quilt in embarrassment and said softly, "Yeah."
Jun Jiuji took Xiao Ning'er into his arms, planted a deep kiss on her lips, and then rested with her.
Although the night was tumultuous, the two people's hearts were sweet.
…
The next day.
Ye Yining woke up and entered the palace with Jun Jiuji.
Because the Queen Mother and the Empress were not in the harem, they had an opportunity to go to the Leng Palace to meet King Ji's mother-in-law after serving tea to the Emperor.
Ye Yining was very nervous, checking whether her clothes were appropriate all the way.
Jun Jiuji smiled and held her hand, comforting her and saying, "My mother is very gentle and she will like you. You don't have to be nervous."
"Yeah! I'm not nervous."
Although Ye Yining said so, she still couldn't control her inexplicable nervousness.
In her impression, she had never met Jun Jiuji's mother-concubine, and all her impressions of Concubine Lan were based on her own conjectures.
In her opinion, Concubine Lan should be a beautiful, independent, and very individual person.
Otherwise, she would not have been able to make the Queen jealous and displeased the Queen Mother for so many years, but also make the Emperor care about her.
The road leading to Leng Palace was very quiet, but as she walked, Ye Yining felt a sense of familiarity.
She suddenly had a strange feeling that she had been down this road before.
However, not far ahead was the Cold Palace. In her memory, she had never been here before!
"Xiao Ning'er, we're almost there."
Jun Jiuji took Xiao Ning'er's hand again and entered the northernmost palace gate with her.
The walls of Leng Palace are very high, and although the houses are not luxurious, they are not as dilapidated as imagined.
When walking towards the northernmost house, Ye Yining unexpectedly saw a well-growing vegetable field and a house that looked like a residential house, with some flowers and plants planted in front of the house.
This place really doesn't look like a cold palace.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a beautiful, gentle and elegant woman wearing plain clothes walking out of the house.
"Concubine, I brought Xiao Ning'er to see you." Jun Jiuji pulled Xiao Ning'er in front of him and said with a rather proud tone.
Concubine Lan looked at the two people holding hands and nodded with a smile.
"Just come! Let's take Ning'er inside and sit down!"
"Mother concubine!" Ye Yining was slightly distracted and shouted after Jun Jiuji.
Concubine Lan smiled and nodded, "Okay, go in and sit down first. I made a thousand pink dots for you."
When Ye Yining saw her mother-in-law entering the kitchen, she hesitated for a moment and then followed her in.
Concubine Lan looked back at her and said with a smile: "Ning'er likes to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, right? My mother also made it for you today."
Ye Yining nodded in surprise, "Thank you, concubine!"
She has obviously never met her mother-in-law, but she knows what she likes.
As she helped her mother-in-law take out the pastries prepared in the kitchen, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
These pastries are really beautiful, with nice colors, cute shapes, and sweet taste. I look like I want to eat them.
"You guys haven't had breakfast yet, so you must be hungry. Eat first!" Concubine Lan ordered softly.
"Okay." Jun Jiuji pulled Xiao Ning'er to sit down at the dining table, took a piece of pink Qiandian and put it to her mouth.
Ye Yining's face turned red, and she was forced to take a bite of the pastry that was put to her mouth.
"My mother's cooking skills are so good!" Ye Yining sincerely praised her.
"As long as you like it. If you like it, eat more." Concubine Lan said with a smile.
Ye Yining nodded, ate the cake in his mouth, and then quickly took out the Linggui tea that he asked the tea room to prepare.
"Mother, please have tea!"
Concubine Lan took the tea handed over by Ye Yining, took a slow sip, and nodded gently.
"Ning'er, my mother-in-law doesn't have anything to give you, so I'll give you these flower seeds!"
With that said, Concubine Lan took out a gray bag from a wooden box placed by the table and handed it to her.
"Thank you, concubine!" Ye Yining took the bag and immediately put it away without looking at it.
"Concubine, you should also eat together!" Jun Jiuji brought bowls and chopsticks to his concubine.
However, Concubine Lan shook her head and said, "Concubine Mother has eaten, you can eat it!"
"Does the concubine eat candy?" Ye Yining couldn't bear to see the concubine watching them eat alone, so she took out a bag of fruit candies.
Concubine Lan actually didn't like candy, but because it was given to her by Ye Yining, she still opened it and ate one.
After eating only one, her expression changed slightly.
This fruit candy is a bit unusual!
After finishing the candy in her hand, Concubine Lan unconsciously ate another one.
Seeing that her mother-in-law liked it, Ye Yining asked the kitchen to make a fruit plate with fruits.
"Concubine, please eat more fruits."
Because she didn't know what Concubine Lan liked, she gave things based on her own taste.
Jun Jiuji looked at Xiao Ning'er and smiled.
In fact, the mother-in-law never eats sweets, but she did eat the sweets given by Xiao Ning'er.
It seems that the mother-in-law really likes fruit candies and also likes Xiao Ning'er.
Concubine Lan smiled and nodded, then looked at her son quietly.
In the future, she would feel more at ease when someone would accompany him.
"Ning'er, if you like the pastries made by my concubine, just eat more. Don't be like Xiaojiu, who is so picky that your concubine's cooking skills cannot be used." Concubine Lan complained with a smile.
Ye Yining looked at Jun Jiuji with surprise, "Are you picky about food?"
Why didn't she feel it?
Jun Jiuji coughed lightly, "That happened when I was a child."
As he grows up, he is actually not picky about food.
In other words, he basically likes everything Xiao Ning'er likes.
Concubine Lan looked at the way they got along and felt quite emotional.
Xiaojiu can be said to have managed to keep the flowers blooming and the moon shine brightly.
After breakfast, Concubine Lan sent her son away and called Ye Yining to the room.
Ye Yining was quite nervous, so she didn't dare to speak.
Concubine Lan patted her hand, and then took out a large sunken wood box from the side of the room.
"Ning'er, this is a gift given to you by Concubine Mother alone. You put it away and don't let Xiaojiu know about it. From now on, Xiaojiu will leave it to you. Concubine Mother, you should stay away from Concubine Mother's place in the future. Do you understand?"
Ye Yining felt inexplicably uneasy when she heard this.
"Mother concubine..."
Concubine Lan patted her head soothingly, "Don't be nervous. Concubine I just want to ask you a favor. Xiaojiu likes you, so I hope you will be nicer to him in the future."
