NOVEL NEXT Chapter 37 The Queen Mother is weird
The Queen Mother frowned and slowly turned to look at her with an unhappy look on her face: "You are a princess, how can you behave like this when you are always surprised?"
Princess Jiahe was stunned: "I..."
Nanny Wei also felt strange. She lowered her head and whispered in the Queen Mother's ear: "The Queen Mother, the Princess Regent beat Princess Jiahe before and forced the princess to kneel down to admit her mistake. Have you forgotten?"
The Queen Mother frowned slightly and looked at Shen Ning expressionlessly. A sharp stabbing pain suddenly flashed through her mind. Her face turned pale, and she subconsciously raised her hand to touch her forehead. She was about to call someone, but she was surprised to feel the stabbing pain in an instant. Disappeared without a trace.
It was as if nothing had happened and the stabbing pain just now was just her imagination.
The Queen Mother composed herself and was silent for a long time before she said coldly: "Princess Regent, do you understand that you are wrong?"
Princess Jiahe's expression relaxed, thinking that this was the normal reaction a mother should have.
So she turned her head and stared at Shen Ning angrily, just waiting for Shen Ning to take the initiative to plead guilty and beg for mercy, or for her to continue to resist and let her mother drag him out and beat him up.
However, Shen Ning looked directly at the Queen Mother.
To be precise, she looked at the Queen Mother with a faint look and a soft tone: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, on the day of my wedding to the Prince Regent, the two princesses Jiahe and Jiayu barged into the new house and taunted and abused me. Humiliation, as an elder, shouldn’t I teach them a lesson?”
Princess Jiahe sneered: "Who do you think you are -"
"That's right." The Queen Mother's expression froze slightly and her eyes wandered slightly, "You should indeed be taught a lesson."
"Queen Mother!" Princess Jiahe stood up in shock and looked at her in disbelief, "What's wrong with you?"
Aunt Wei's expression changed slightly, she looked at the Queen Mother uneasily, and she couldn't help but look at Princess Jiahe in surprise.
The Queen Mother's reaction was so strange.
They clearly wanted to discipline the Princess Regent and make her understand that the imperial power should not be offended, and those who humiliated the princess would only die.
But what about the Queen Mother...
"The father-in-law who delivered the message said that the emperor asked me to come into the palace to get the antidote for the regent." Shen Ning continued to look at her, "Mother Queen Mother, can I go to the emperor now?"
I wonder if her "Queen Mother" was too gentle, as gentle as a whisper between lovers.
The Queen Mother looked into Shen Ning's eyes that seemed to be able to tolerate all things, and she couldn't help but nodded: "Go."
"No!" Princess Jiahe shouted urgently, her eyes focused anxiously on the Queen Mother's face, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say you wanted to seek justice for your son? Shen Ning is a lawless criminal. You should order her to be captured, dragged out and whipped! Pull out her nails piece by piece!"
"Princess Jiahe." Shen Ning turned his eyes slightly and looked at her coldly, "As the daughter of the Queen Mother and a princess of the royal family, you should be dignified, kind, gentle and virtuous, and maintain the dignity of the royal family at all times, instead of showing no manners in front of the Queen Mother. The ground roared."
Jiahe was furious: "Shen Ning, what kind of magic did you use on the Queen Mother? You are not allowed to play tricks in the palace. Come on! Take her down!"
"Presumptuous!" The Queen Mother had a headache due to the noise and couldn't help rubbing her eyebrows. "The Princess Regent has something to do, so let her go."
The chamberlains and maids all retreated, not daring to stop him.
Princess Jiahe was almost furious. She had no idea what kind of demon possessed her mother. Is it easy for Shen Ning to enter the palace?
If it hadn't been for the regent's poisonous attack today, they would never have had a chance to find Shen Ning alone.
With the regent accompanying her, it would be difficult for them to move Shen Ning. If Shen Ning stayed in the regent's house and refused to leave, there would be nothing they could do to her.
Today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I missed this time, and I still don’t know when the next time will be. Why is the Queen Mother so confused?
"Then I'll leave first. The Queen Mother has a good rest." Shen Ning turned and left, ignoring the look of shock and confusion in the eyes of the grandma and the palace maid.
Princess Jiahe's unwilling voice kept coming from the palace behind her: "Empress, I was angry with her today in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Shen Ning humiliated me in public, and I lost all face..."
Shen Ning raised the corner of her mouth slightly, with a hint of ridicule flashing in her eyes, and walked out of the palace gate without looking back, only to find that Mr. Hu, who had just delivered the order, was waiting outside.
He obviously didn't follow her just now, but now he is waiting for her here?
"Princess Regent?" When Eunuch Hu saw Shen Ning coming out so quickly, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, "You...you came out so soon?"
"What?" Shen Ning looked coldly, "Is it strange?"
"...That's not what I meant." Eunuch Hu sneered quickly, "What you mean, my slave, is that when the princess first entered the palace, the queen mother didn't leave you to talk for a while?"
"The emperor wants to see me, doesn't he?" Shen Ning said calmly, "The most important thing is to get the antidote for the regent. If you want to talk, there will be more opportunities."
Eunuch Hu subconsciously looked into the palace gate and saw no one coming out to stop him. He couldn't help but feel suspicious, but he still raised his hand and said: "Princess, please come this way."
Shen Ning followed him and left the harem territory. As she walked, she noticed a line of sight from the side falling on her face, as if full of inquiry and thinking.
Shen Ning turned her head to look at her, and met Shi Qin's thoughtful eyes. She raised her eyebrows slightly. Shi Qin realized that she was rude and quickly lowered her eyes, silently apologizing.
Eunuch Hu was not aware of the subtle interaction between the two people's eyes. He just led the way. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he even deliberately slowed down his pace, probably waiting to see if anyone from Shou'an Palace would catch up. .
After walking for a while, after making sure no one was chasing him, the pace quickened a little.
Shen Ning just pretended not to know and followed him all the way to Mingde Hall.
The emperor was only fifteen years old and had not yet taken charge.
All important affairs of the government are handled by the regent. If the regent is unavailable occasionally, he will order the left and right prime ministers to work with several important ministers in the court to handle the matter together. Then the left and right prime ministers will go to the regent's palace in the evening and report important matters.
Ji Jin is sitting in front of the desk reading a book at the moment.
His handsome face still has a hint of youthfulness and immaturity, but he is always accustomed to showing off a young and mature look in front of others, revealing alienation and innate nobility.
Heirs of the Tian family, who have lived in a heap of splendor since childhood, are naturally noble. However, how long this noble spirit can be maintained depends on one's nature.
Hearing that Eunuch Hu reported the arrival of the Princess Regent, the young emperor's face flashed with astonishment, and then he realized that he had lost his composure, so he put on a calm look and said, "Let the Princess Regent come in."
"yes."
After receiving Eunuch Hu's signal, Shen Ning calmly and calmly stepped into the Mingde Hall. When she saw the young emperor sitting behind the imperial desk, she bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty."
Ji Jin's eyes darkened, dissatisfied with her perfunctory and disrespectful etiquette, but there was no expression on her face: "Have you gone to see the Queen Mother?"
Shen Ning nodded: "I've seen it before."
Ji Jin glanced at Eunuch Hu, and when she saw the other party nodded affirmatively, she asked again: "What didn't the Queen Mother say?"
Shen Ning said calmly: "I said a few words."
Ji Jin's hand holding the scroll tightened, and she quietly watched Shen Ning's demeanor, which was neither humble nor arrogant, even a bit distant from people thousands of miles away. She couldn't help but frown: "Princess, have you never learned the etiquette of paying homage to the king?"
"The emperor means that I need to kneel down?" Shen Ning looked up at him, seemingly confused, "According to the rules of the royal family, shouldn't the emperor call me Auntie?"
