MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 131 Empress

  The empress often lives in Fengyi Palace, and she hasn't been seen for a long time since she was ill last year. Even important occasions like the New Year's Eve Banquet are entrusted to Concubine Xian to represent her.

  Wen Ning thought that this life was about the same as the previous life, and she would not have the chance to see the empress.

  But he didn't want her to summon her alone at this time.

   Snowflakes fell outside at some point, and the huge palace, once away from the bustling Zhaoxia Palace, was empty and cold, with gusts of cold wind.

  Wen Ning was so surprised when she heard the decree that she forgot to pick up Mrs. Tang who was with her. At this time, she didn't know whether she was nervous or really cold, and her body was shaking slightly.

  Not to mention Linglan, Empress Empress!

  How many girls are role models, especially girls of their age, who almost grew up listening to the stories of the empress. A character who is as far away as a fairy in the sky can actually step into the palace of the empress in person today.

   "Girl." Seeing that Fengyi Palace was about to arrive, Linglan tugged on La Wenning's cuff, and said in a very low voice, "Shall I enter the palace with you later?"

  Even though it was a very soft voice, the father-in-law in front still heard it, turned around and said, "Ma'am, the Empress only summoned you."

  The meaning was obvious, Linglan immediately pursed her lips, and did not dare to speak anymore.

  Before entering Fengyi Palace, Wen Ning saluted the palace maid and said, "It's cold today, so please take my maidservant to the side hall to wait. I'm going to thank you, Eunuch."

  Linglan was so moved that she almost burst into tears.

  Her girl is just too kind, and she still misses her at this time.

  After arranging Linglan, Wen Ning straightened her back and prepared to enter the palace.

  Fengyi Palace was obviously well prepared. In this weather, at this time, the door of the palace was wide open, and there were two servants standing respectfully at the door, each with their heads down, without looking at Wen Ning.

  As soon as she entered the hall, the two of them closed the door of the hall. The wind, snow and loneliness outside seemed to be cut off, leaving only the warmth from Fengyi Palace.

   For some reason, Wen Ning felt very nervous, even more nervous than the last time she met Emperor Jiahe.

  Probably because there is no Pei You by her side this time.

   But in fact, judging from the various rumors she heard about the empress, the empress should be an excellent person to get along with.

  Wen Ning squeezed the sachet by her side, took a deep breath, and saw a kind-hearted nun come out from the inner room: "Madam is here."

  When she saw her, she showed a smile, and then blessed her body: "Madam, please come with your servants."

  Wen Ning couldn't help but grabbed the sachet by her side and followed her inside.

  The empress was probably really sick. The further she walked in, the stronger the smell of the medicine became, and she heard a few coughs.

Wen Ning didn't dare to raise her head to look around. She felt that Fengyi Palace was not as magnificent as imagined, but rather simple and elegant. It was probably because the queen was ill and it was very warm. She was a person who was afraid of the cold. I feel sweat on my back.

  She followed the nanny with her head down, and when she saw her leading her to a bed, she knew it was the Feng bed.

  Yu Guangsao saw a figure sitting halfway on the couch, and immediately knelt down to salute: "Ms. Pei Wen, see the empress, the empress is a thousand years old!"

   "This child, why do you need to be so courteous?" A slightly hoarse voice came from the bed, coughed a few times, and said again, "Come here and sit down, let me take a good look at you."

  Even the concubine Xian called herself "My Palace", but the empress was so unassuming, and called "I" to her, Wen Ning couldn't help but relax a lot, and her back was not so stiff when she got up.

  As she got up, the nun who had just led her in came over and took off the cloak on her shoulders.

  Wen Ning glanced at the phoenix couch. There was no chair in front of her. She came in from the outside with some rain and snow on her body. How dare she sit on the bed directly, so she naturally walked to the footrest under the bed and sat down.

  In winter, a piece of snow-white fox fur is laid on the footsteps as a carpet.

  Wen Ning sat on her knees and raised her head.

  The nervousness just now has been replaced by excitement and curiosity. Empress Empress, the model of women that Teacher Kai Meng said, the woman whom Emperor Jiahe loved all his life.

  Wen Ning had only looked at her from a distance before, and knew that she was dignified and graceful, and expected her facial features to be extremely beautiful, but seeing her at such a close distance, she was still taken aback.

  Xie Nanzhi, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, married into the East Palace at the age of fifteen, entered the Fengyi Palace at the age of eighteen, and gave birth to Princess Zhaohe at the age of twenty. She is just forty-three this year.

Probably because of her illness, she didn't apply any makeup on her face, and she was even a little morbidly pale, but it didn't hinder the delicacy of her facial features. Age hardly left any traces on her face, only adding to her face, which is completely different from ordinary women. Ronghua temperament.

   It was exactly as she imagined.

  Wen Ning was looking at Xie Nanzhi, but Xie Nanzhi was also looking at Wen Ning.

  Seeing the obedient little girl lying on the side of the couch looking at him curiously, Zhanyan laughed.

  Wen Ning coughed lowly, withdrew her slightly unscrupulous eyes, and said softly: "The Empress is a celestial figure, Ah Ning is disrespectful, your empress is not to blame."

   "It's really Huiqiao's child, no wonder it's called..." Xie Nanzhi paused for a moment, then reached out to stroke Wen Ning's water-stained hair, "Pei Shizi loves it so much."

  Wen Ning blinked guiltyly, this Pei Yuli's doting wife character, even the empress knows.

"I couldn't get up when you married... the crown prince, so I didn't go to see you two." Xie Nanzhi took off the handkerchief that she carried with her, gently wiped the snowflakes on her hair, and called the mother beside her Mama, "Sang Liu, bring the things here."

  Wen Ning was flattered by the empress's intimate behavior, and when the nanny named Sang Liu came to her with a tray, she was a little dazed, and she couldn't help but go to Xie Nanzhi.

  A pair of exquisite sachets are placed on the red brocade cloth of the tray. A lovebird was embroidered on each of the two sachets, and white jade with a dragon and a phoenix hung underneath.

  The things are actually nothing unusual, nor expensive, but Wen Ning is a person who is well versed in embroidery. She has seen the clothes from the inner court, this sachet is exquisitely embroidered, with a lot of thought, she can tell at a glance that it is not the handicraft of the inner court embroiderer.

Sure enough, Xie Nanzhi picked up the sachet with the Feifeng jade plaque on it, and said with a slight smile, "Although I am sick, but when I feel better, I embroidered this pair of sachets for the two of you. "

  Wen Ning involuntarily took a deep breath.

   It turns out...was the empress herself embroidered it?

  Drag the sick body to embroider sachets for them, what can she do? !

  Xie Nanzhi still smiled gently, and gently lifted Wen Ning, who was kneeling on the footrest, to let her sit directly on the edge of the couch.

   "Ah Ning? Can I call you Ah Ning too?" She gently held Wen Ning's hand.

   "Of course." Wen Ning felt what she said, "Ah Ning is flattered."

   "Did Ah Ning finish eating at the banquet just now?"

  Wen Ning nodded repeatedly.

   "Then Ah Ning, would you like to chat with me?"

   "Ah Ning couldn't ask for it."

Xie Nanzhi looked at Wen Ning, with lingering eyebrows and eyes slightly bent, not like a queen of a country, but like a kind and loving elder, touching Wen Ning's cheek: "You just came back from Jiangnan with your son, then you will be together Let me tell you something interesting that happened in Jiangnan?"

No problem at all!

  Maybe it’s because she doesn’t have a mother, Wen Ning has always been unable to resist this kind of beautiful and gentle woman, so she happily talked about some anecdotes in the south of the Yangtze River.

   She thought about the long illness of the empress, and probably also wanted to go out of the palace to have a look, so she introduced the folk customs, architectural features, and lake scenery in the south of the Yangtze River very carefully.

   It's just Jiangnan and his party. After all, she is with Pei You, so it is inevitable that she will talk about some things related to Pei You.

   Xie Nanzhi also seemed very interested, occasionally asking.

   "Is he so good at lecturing?"

"Of course! There was a group of scholars at that time, and they followed him wherever he talked. Listening to what he said was better than studying for ten years! They thought I was the same as them. When they left Huzhou, they insisted on leaving me my address. They will exchange letters in the future. How dare I keep it, but if I keep it, it will be the address of the Duke's Mansion!"

   "He will still trick you into drinking?"

"Yeah! You don't know. I was also confused at the time. I heard him compare those wines with my Fushengzui wines, and he said that other people's wines are better than mine. I am not convinced. In the end, he was so drunk that he didn't even remember what the fireworks looked like that night! He has a lot of twists and turns in his heart, he is not as gentle as the surface, and he must want to take me back to the official post early while I am drunk! "

   Only one nun, Sang Liu, was left in Fengyi Palace, but she didn't seem deserted.

  Wen Ning didn't know that there were so many interesting things worth talking about in Jiangnan, but she didn't know why, and then she kept talking about Pei You.

  Wen Ning felt that the empress probably also loved this nephew very much. Hearing these things, she sometimes smiled, sometimes hilariously, her eyes seemed to be burning with a small fire, and even her sickness was dispelled a lot.

  But she didn't intend to blow up Pei You, whom she didn't like so much, in front of her favorite empress.

   "Your Majesty, don't look at him as a dignified gentleman, with a gentle and jade-like appearance, he is actually quite difficult to get along with."

  Wen Ning began to count Pei You's shortcomings: "He has a big temper, and his heart is as small as the tip of a needle. A small matter can make him angry for half a month. It takes someone to coax him in different ways."

   Xie Nanzhi probably didn't think it was a problem, and asked with a smile: "Then how do you coax him?"

   "Give him candy." Wen Ning covered her mouth and smiled, "Young lady can't imagine that he is so cold and arrogant, like a child, he loves candy."

  Xie Nanzhi was stunned suddenly: "Does he like sweets?"

   "Yes!" The sachet she gave him was filled with candy, and I don't know if he noticed it.

  Xie Nanzhi asked again: "Why?"

  Wen Ning was also stunned.

  She only knew that Pei You liked to eat candied haws, but later found out that he liked to eat the sugar coating on the outside, didn't he just love candy?

   As for why...

   Isn’t it just personal taste?

  The smile on Xie Nanzhi's face suddenly didn't look so good, the fire in his eyes disappeared, making his face look a little pale: "It's because I suffered too much when I was young..."

  The lively atmosphere just now suddenly fell silent.

  Wen Ning stared blankly at Xie Nanzhi, only to feel that the empress who was smiling just now seemed about to cry in a blink of an eye.

   "Ma'am." Sang Liu, who had been standing by the side, pulled back Wen Ning's thoughts, and she knelt towards her expressionlessly, "It's getting late, my mother is tired, madam, please go back first."

  Wen Ning blinked, looked at Xie Nanzhi who was about to cry, and at Sangliu who was quite serious.

  Sang Liu spoke again: "Your Majesty, it's time for the banquet ahead to end."

  Wen Ning hurriedly stood up from the phoenix couch, and made a small gift: "Ah Ning, I'm sorry to disturb you. Your Majesty needs to rest. Ah Ning will leave first."

   Turn around and want to leave.

   "Slow down." Xie Nanzhi called her to stop.

  Wen Ning turned her head, and saw that she had got up from the couch, and Sang Liu went to help her, but she gently pushed her away.

  She was wearing a simple plain robe, and her hair was extremely simple. She didn't feel it when she was sitting on the couch, but when she stood up, she looked extremely elegant.

  She was barefoot, her complexion had returned to normal, and she walked up to Wen Ning, who was exactly half a head taller than her.

  She glanced at Sang Liu.

  Sang Liu is an old man who has been with Xie Nanzhi for decades, she knew what she was going to do with one look and one movement, and immediately took the box containing the pair of sachets just now.

  Wen Ning looked at Xie Nanzhi's plain white hands, opened the box, took out the sachet with the flying phoenix jade card hanging from it, bent slightly, and leaned over.

  Wen Ning could clearly hear her heart beating faster.

  Wuwu, the empress actually hung a sachet for her herself!

  The Queen Empress smells so good, even the medicine smells so good!

  Oh my god, the Empress is so gentle and gentle. No wonder Emperor Jiahe has been the only favorite for many years. If it wasn't for the sake of prolonging the offspring, she would not even accept her in the harem.

   Hey, there is also a small mole on the side of the empress's nasal bone.

  It is lighter and lighter than Pei You's. If she hadn't applied makeup and was so close to her, she could hardly see it.

"Okay." Without waiting for Wen Ning to look more carefully, Xie Nanzhi had already stood up, the smile reappeared on her face, and she pampered Wen Ning's head, "Good boy, wait until I feel better, How about sending you into the palace to talk with me?"

  Wen Ning blinked, nodded heavily, saluted again, and left Fengyi Palace excitedly.
