Elder Zong was startled by Nangong Ning’s words. He reached out and poured a cup of tea and quickly stuffed it into Nangong Ning’s hand.

“Miss Nangong, what are you talking about?” Quickly take a sip of tea and rinse your mouth!

Nangong Ning looked at Zong Elder speechlessly. Was the reverse use so big? However, under the emotional expression of the elder, he still took a sip of tea.

Elder Zong looked at Nangong Ning helplessly, wanting to persuade her, but seeing Nangong Ning’s obviously not to regard it as right, he felt a little tired.

Nangong Ning suddenly had a thought and asked, “Elder Zong, you said that you followed him when he was young?”

Elder Zong nodded and said, “Yes, I am by the side of the prince. The prince is only ten years old.”

“Ten years old..” Nangong Ning could not help but follow the words that Zong Zong said.

How could a ten-year-old Jun Qianye look like? With his looks, he should be a standard Zhengtai?

With an icy face of handsome Zhengtai, plus a gorgeous ancient brocade robe with a prince’s jade crown on his head, that look would definitely make people drool.

Thinking about it, Nangong Ning’s lips curved and he started laughing.

Elder Zong looked at her and felt a headache in his heart.

“Miss Nangong, you, what’s wrong with you?”

Nangong Ning came back to his senses and scolded himself as an idiot. He quickly put away the smile on his face and said seriously, “It’s okay, it’s okay. I just lost my mind for a while.”

“Really?” The elder looked at her suspiciously.

Nangong Ning nodded solemnly and quickly changed the topic, asking, “Actually, I want to know if there are any elders who need to see me if I’m married to the prince?”

“Elder?” Elder Zong was stunned for a moment and looked at Nangong Ning with surprise, asking, “Did Miss Nangong ask the prince’s mother?”

Nangong Ning nodded. Actually, she didn’t know much about Jun Qianye because Nangong Ning didn’t know either.

However, she guessed that Jun Qianye was not from the Empress of the Eastern calendar. However, apart from Queen Xun, there was no Empress Dowager in the Imperial Palace.

Elder Zong looked at Nangong Ning strangely.

Nangong Ning’s face stiffened and he explained, “I used to be stuck in the Nangong Residence and I don’t know much about the affairs of the prince. Now, it’s good. Tell me.”

“This is true. Although you are the eldest daughter of the Nangong residence, your uncle and aunt are not good friends. They definitely haven’t trained you properly,” Elder Zong thought of a series of situations of Nangong Ning being abused in the Nangong residence.

Nangong Ning’s mouth twitched and he did not explain. He just asked, “Then tell me. I’m going to marry the prince anyway. I have to know the prince well.”

Elder Zong nodded. He did not doubt Nangong Ning at all. He said seriously, “Actually, the prince is the only prince the Empress produced.”

“Ah?” Nangong Ning was shocked.

Shouldn’t the Empress ‘only prince be the prince? Jun Qianye should be the emperor now. What the hell was the current Phoenix Sky Emperor?

“First, the Empress got the prince in middle age. Before the prince, the Empress didn’t do anything.” The old man said, then he smirked, “Speaking of which, when the Empress gave birth to children, he was hard to give birth, and he used the medicine of my master. At that time, I was still very young and followed Master. It can be said that I knew him the moment he was born.”

Nangong Ning was shocked.

Jun Qianye was really a prince.

“What about the Emperor?” She couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Elder Zong glanced at her and said, “The current Emperor is the foster son of the Empress, but the current Mother Consort is the concubine of Lus, and she died due to childbirth. First, the Empress pity has no mother in this life, so she brought her to the Central Palace to raise her.”

“It’s really complicated!” Nangong Ning clicked his tongue.

Zong Lao Bai glanced at her and said angrily, “What’s so complicated? First, the Empress passed away when the prince was ten years old. At that time, the prince lost his biological mother and couldn’t afford to be sick. This old man came to the prince again. At first, I treated the prince and followed him.”

Nangong Ning was even more shocked.

Jun Qianye, who looked like a cold-blooded person, was actually seriously ill because of her mother’s death?

Although she was only ten years old at that time, under Nangong Ning’s imagination, Jun Qianye was now the miniature version.

It was impossible to imagine that he would be seriously ill from the death of his family.

“I didn’t expect the prince to be an extremely filial person.”

“Of course the prince is filial! The prince has never married the Imperial Consort, which is also related to the Empress, “Zong Laozi suddenly made a sudden surprise.

Nangong Ning was stunned. Jun Qianye never married a consort. Isn’t it because he was born cold-blooded and ruthless, and he didn’t mean to do it?

“What does this have to do with the Empress?”

“After the Empress passed away, the prince said that he would not see anything in the past ten years, and he would have to keep filial piety for his mother,” the old man sighed. “Actually, Concubine Anli and the prince were engaged to the prince, but the prince never paid attention to this matter and never said a word to Concubine Anli. This old man thought that Concubine Anli would be so determined to enter the palace as a concubine later on. She probably couldn’t stand the cold disregard from the prince.

Nangong Ning’s lips twitched a few times when he heard this.

“Ten years… then now?”

“Now, it’s been ten years. Now Prince 25, there’s no problem with getting married to Miss Nangong,” said the elder happily.

However, Nangong Ning was not happy. She did not want to tell Zong Elder that his prince might be planning to continue to be filial.

Next, Elder Zong talked about a lot of things and said that after the wedding, Jun Qianye would definitely take her as the consort to the Empress to let Nangong Ning prepare in advance.

However, Nangong Ning was not interested in this.

Because she knew very well that she couldn’t become the Regent’s Consort, and she had now taken a break from this thought, intending to find another way to protect herself.

After Elder Zong was sent away, Su Yuan was also found by Wei Chu.

“Miss, the person who stopped us today is very strange,” Su Yuan did not feel too conflicted about how Nangong Ning could not leave the capital for the time being. Instead, he reported something to Nangong Ning.

“What do you mean by being strange?” Nangong Ning asked in confusion.

Su Yuan paused for a moment, “Well… I can’t find out where he came from.”

Nangong Ning was shocked and asked, “unknown source or origin?”

Su Yuan nodded.

Nangong Ning didn’t give up and asked, “Didn’t he reveal any flaws?”

Su Yuan shook his head again.

Nangong Ning rubbed his brows and said helplessly, “There are a lot of people who want to kill me anyway. Forget it, I don’t have to worry about the debt. Let him go.”

Su Yuan looked at her speechlessly, then finally asked, “Not leaving for now?”

“Mmm, I can’t leave,” Nangong Ning thought about it and felt angry. She couldn’t keep up with Jun Qianye’s thoughts, so she could only take one step at a time.

Su Yuan didn’t say anything else. He was protecting Nangong Ning anyway, so he didn’t care if Nangong Ning wanted to leave or stay.

“I’m leaving.”

After saying those two words, Su Yuan’s body flashed and he disappeared.

Nangong Ning stroked his forehead and found himself a little hungry.

Just as she was about to eat something, Wen Wan came over and said that Jun Qianye had invited her over for dinner.

In this regard, Nangong Ning had no room to refuse, so he accepted his fate.

The dining hall in Jun Qianye’s yard had already prepared the dishes but Jun Qianye had yet to come.

With the experience from the last time, Nangong Ning sat down under the guidance of the maid. Without asking more, he started eating himself.

She ate half a bowl of rice before Jun Qianye came over.

He saw that Nangong Ning was eating and frowned slightly.

Nangong Ning didn’t notice that she was eating happily.

Jun Qianye sat down opposite Nangong Ning and glanced at the female attendants around her. She bowed and left.

Nangong Ning realized something was wrong and didn’t dare to continue eating. He raised his face and smiled at Jun Qianye.

However, Jun Qianye said, “There is a rice at the corner of her mouth.”

Nangong Ning was startled. He quickly lowered his head and wiped it away with his hand.

“Nangong Ning, are you close to your Nangong Luo husband and wife in the Nangong residence?” Jun Qianye suddenly asked again.

Nangong Ning was stunned. What kind of opening statement was this? Why did it suddenly involve the Nangong Luo couple?

She suddenly felt her scalp tingle, so she could only say, “When I was in the Nangong residence, I wasn’t very close to the people in the residence. I lived alone in the Feihua Mansion, and I usually went to the courtyard.”

In his memory, Nangong Ning was indeed like this.

Even though Yang Shi used to ‘express warmth’ to her and Nangong Qingyao was also very close to her, those were fake.

“So that’s the case,” Jun Qianye listened to her and her eyes eased.

Nangong Ning looked at him with some doubts. If she wasn’t mistaken, she seemed to have seen a hint of pity in Jun Qianye’s eyes just now?

What did he sympathize with her?

“Eat,” Jun Qianye suddenly said.

Nangong Ning let out an “Oh” and quickly lowered his head to eat. He only felt that Jun Qianye was strange today.

After a while, Jun Qianye suddenly said, “From tomorrow onwards, a maid from the Citadel will come to teach you rules.”

“Ah?” Nangong Ning was so scared that he almost bit off his chopsticks.

Jun Qianye said expressionlessly, “I see that your etiquette is very bad. It seems that no one has properly educated you before, but it’s different from now on. You have to learn the rules properly.”

The Nangong Luo couple did not properly educate their niece before, but why did she learn the rules? And the so-called maid refers to the kind of palace? Nangong Ning thought it was scary.

“Can’t you not learn?”

“I can’t,” Jun Qianye’s tone was a little fierce when she thought about how she saw Nangong Ning.

Nangong Ning was so frightened that his heart trembled. He bitten his chopsticks bitterly, sneaked a glance at Jun Qianye and quickly lowered his head.

However, Jun Qianye noticed her small movements and the chill on her face grew heavier.

This damned girl looked like this. If she did something wrong in the future, wouldn’t she lose his face?
