Emperor Xuan nodded slightly. "It's my birthday in a few days. I don't plan to hold a big party this year. I'm just going to hold a family banquet. You will also come then." "After my birthday, you will marry Huai'an immediately... After you get married, you can go to Wu Kingdom." Ning Chen bowed his head and said, "I obey your order!" Emperor Xuan turned to look at Eunuch Quan, "Give the things to Ning Chen." "yes!" Eunuch Quan brought a small jar to Ning Chen. Ning Chen asked curiously: "Your Majesty, what is this for?" Emperor Xuan said: "Pearl Snake Oil Ointment can make people white... Even the harem is using it, and the effect is good!" "When you go to bed at night, apply it on your face and wash it off when you get up the next day."
Damn... night mask? "Thank you, Your Majesty!" "If your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will retire!" Emperor Xuan nodded, "Go!" "I resign!" After coming out of Yangxin Hall, a gust of cold wind blew, and Ning Chen shivered. The weather was gloomy. This damn weather, it's almost winter and it rains every day. ... In a flash, it was the day of Emperor Xuan's birthday. Emperor Xuan did not hold any big events this year and only held a family banquet. None of those kings were allowed to come back. The so-called family dinner does not mean that it is only family members. The ministers of the imperial court were all at the banquet. Of course, those below the second rank do not have this qualification, and it is important to pay attention to a gift that reaches everyone. You can give gifts, but you won’t get to eat. Emperor Xuan's birthday banquet was held in Qianqiu Palace. Ning Chen arrived late so he could ride into the palace. Others have to worry about it and have to come early.
It's His Majesty's birthday. It's a big sin to be late. Halfway through, I met the Ninth Princess. The Ninth Princess is dressed in a red dress, like a delicate flower in the mountains. She is wearing a gold hairpin given by Ning Chen on her head. She is charming and charming. "Are you waiting for me specifically?" Ning Chen stopped his horse and asked with a smile. The Ninth Princess proudly raised her pointed chin, "No, it's just a coincidence." Ning Chen did not expose her little thoughts. On your way from Luohuang Palace to Qianqiu Palace, you will never pass by this place. He stretched out his hand, "Come up!" The Ninth Princess stretched out her hand and then retracted it. "No, no... I am a princess. I must pay attention to etiquette. I cannot ride on the same horse as a man in the palace." Ning Chen snorted, "Princess, please take your time, I'll leave first." "you you you..." Ninth Princess put her hands on her hips angrily, her almond-shaped eyes widening. She has been waiting here for a long time, how dare this stinky man leave her alone? "Just kidding!" Ning Chen got off his horse, led the horse and walked with the Ninth Princess. The Ninth Princess looked at the package behind Ning Chen, "Is this the gift you prepared for your father?" Ning Chen nodded. "What is it? Can I see it?" "It's quite troublesome to open it. You can see it when you get to the main hall." The Ninth Princess wrinkled her little nose and said, "Stingy!" Come to Qianqiu Palace. The princes, ministers, harem concubines, princes and princesses all arrived. All positions are arranged by status. Ning Chen's position was at the front, facing the prince. This is what His Majesty specially told you. Ning Chen walked forward while greeting people he knew.
Suddenly, a little palace maid stopped him. "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhen invites you!" Ning Chen was stunned for a moment, "Who is Concubine Zhen?" The little palace maid's expression changed slightly. The Ninth Princess stared at Ning Chen, "You don't even know about my mother-in-law?" "Well!!!" Ning Chen looked embarrassed. Emperor Xuan had too many children and concubines, and he often couldn't get the right number. Concubine Zhen is the biological mother of the ninth princess. Ninth Princess told him, but he forgot. "Just kidding, how could I not remember my future mother-in-law?" The ninth princess blushed. Ning Chen looked at the little palace maid, "Please lead the way!" The little palace maid took Ning Chen to a small low table. Behind the small low table sat a woman with good looks and a noble look. Ning Chen looked at her. This was his mother-in-law. She was very beautiful. The appearance of the Ninth Princess took after her mother. It seems that Emperor Xuan's aesthetics is still online. His concubines are all quite beautiful...it seems that only the queen is ugly. The queen is a political marriage, which is understandable. "Ning Chen has met Concubine Zhen!" Ning Chen knelt down and kowtowed. Concubine Zhen looked at Ning Chen. This was the second time she met her future son-in-law. The first time was at the entrance of Yangxin Hall. Emperor Xuan was critically ill at that time, and Ning Chen rushed back at the critical moment. It was too dark at that time, and she couldn't even see Ning Chen's face clearly. He only remembered Ning Chen's domineering attitude. A man blocked the door of the Yangxin Hall, prohibiting anyone from approaching. "He looks very talented, but his skin is a little darker!" Ning Chen was embarrassed and covered his face silently, feeling disgusted by his future mother-in-law.
The other concubines also looked at Ning Chen curiously. They had heard a lot about the glorious deeds of this powerful young man. They agreed with Concubine Zhen's statement. It's so dark, like animal gold and charcoal. The Ninth Princess hurriedly said: "Mother, Ning Chen rushed eight hundred miles to deliver medicine to his father. He was exposed to the wind and sun, so he is so dark... In fact, his skin is quite white. If you don't believe it, look at it...!" With that said, he reached out and pulled up Ning Chen's sleeve. Sure enough, Ning Chen's arms were very white. "presumptuous!" Suddenly, a woman wearing dark green clothes, with complicated gold ornaments on her head, and elegant and luxurious, shouted sternly. "Huaian, as a princess of the royal family, how can you be so shameless as to flirt with a man in public?" The Ninth Princess knelt down hurriedly, "Huaian knows she is wrong!" "Zhen Fei, is this how you educate your daughter? This is the royal family, not a place of prostitution." Zhen Fei's face changed, "I am not good at educating my daughter, I know I am wrong...Isn't it inappropriate for the Imperial Concubine to compare Huaian to a woman in a prostitution place?" "Pulling and flirting with a man in public is shameless...Is my teaching wrong?" Zhen Fei lowered her head, her expression humiliated, "Your Highness taught me right!" The woman snorted coldly and pointed the spearhead at Ning Chen again. "And you, as the King of Zhenguo, how can you be so frivolous?" Ning Chen frowned, slowly stood up, and said indifferently: "Who are you?" "How dare you! This is Concubine De, the mother of the current Crown Prince. How dare you not recognize her? It's outrageous." A maid scolded beside her. It turned out that she was the Crown Prince's mother, no wonder she was so domineering? Ning Chen said indifferently: "Sorry! Your Majesty has many concubines, and throwing a brick with your eyes closed can knock down a large group of them. I am also an outsider, so it's not surprising that I don't know her, right?" Concubine De was so angry that she trembled coldly. "How dare you talk to me like this?" Ning Chen put his hands behind his back, "I am a warrior who has fought on the battlefield, a vulgar warrior who doesn't know much about etiquette, please forgive me, Concubine De!" Concubine De held her head high, "You want me to forgive you, this is your attitude?" "What do you want, Concubine De?" "Kneel down for me!"
Ning Chen snorted, "I am a prince, and according to the Great Xuan Law, I don't kneel when I see a concubine... When Concubine De becomes the queen, it won't be too late for me to kneel." "You..." Concubine De pointed at Ning Chen, her fingers trembling with anger. Zong Sibai and other princes and ministers shook their heads when they saw this. This Concubine De is really stupid. It's ridiculous to treat Ning Chen with the fights between women in the harem! Has she never thought about the fate of the queen? The Sixth Prince has just become the Crown Prince, and his foundation is shallow. Smart women don't have time to win over Ning Chen, so how could they offend him?
