“Fat old man, you’d better forget this thing; otherwise, I don’t think your lord will leave you a whole corpse.” Nangong Ning stopped and stared at Mr. Zong, the tone of his voice being determined.
Mr. Zong was taken aback by her appearance and took a step back.
Nangong Ning ignored her, turned around, and hurried forward.
Soon, she reached the front hall.
Several people stood in the hall of the palace.
They were young women with low eyebrows and smooth eyes, all uniformly dressed and looked very noble, especially the head, about twenty-six or six years old with a gentle and gentle face.
When she saw Nangong Ning in, she stepped in and said with a courtesy: “Anqing, have you seen Miss Nangong.”
Nangong Ning did not know Anqing in front of her, but guessed that she must be the person beside Concubine Anli, she just nodded lightly and asked, “Why do you want to see me?”
An Qing smiled dignifiedly and said, “Miss Nangong, concubine would like to invite you to enter the palace for a talk.”
“Concubine?” Nangong Ning raised her eyebrows slightly.
The smile on Anqing’s face remained the same, “Yes.”
“I don’t seem to have a deep relationship with your concubine.” Nangong Ning smiled slightly. Although she couldn’t refuse, she didn’t want to go away with her.
Anqing was naturally prepared long ago, and still said warmly: “The concubine used to have no deep friendship with Miss Nangong, but when she was very young, she was rescued once by the lady of Nangong, your mother.
Nangong Ning frowned. There was no such thing in the memory of the original owner.
“This matter, Ms. Nangong must have no idea. At that time, concubine encountered an incident, which was not convenient to publicize and would damage the reputation of concubine. So Mrs. Nangong holds the secret.”Anqing explained timely.
Nangong Ning looked at Anqing. She smiled shallowly and spoke very well. Nangong Ning could not judge whether she was lying.
Moreover, Concubine Anli asked her to enter the palace, even if it was really a reason, she could do nothing.
“So why does the concubine do to invite me into the palace?” Nangong Ning still wanted to struggle. She didn’t want to see Concubine Anli. She knew she was not well-intentioned, and she didn’t want to look for abuse.
Anqing smiled faintly and said: “The concubine knows that Miss Nangong is now married to the Regent. As a person coming over, she wants to explain something to Miss Nangong. I got a dowry and wanted to invite Miss Nangong to see it. ”
Nangong stared.
Sure enough, it was because of the marriage. Jun Qianye really hurt her!
What dowry, if she really prepared her dowry, why didn’t she take it out when she and Jun Zixuan were married?
That day, Concubine Anli could not have known that she was married on behalf of Qingyao of Nangong.
“Miss Nangong, the carriage is already waiting outside the palace.” Anqing reminded gently.
Nangong Ning’s smile was faint and she was mad.
She turned her eyes and glanced out, but she didn’t see anyone except the worried old man.
With empty mind, Nangong Ning smiled. Her face was dazzling, and Anqing looked across from him.
“Okay, let’s go, don’t let the concubine wait for a long time.”
Royal Palace, Lihua Hall.
Lihua Hall was not the largest palace in Fengtian Emperor’s harem, but it was the most gorgeous one.
After the gorgeous curtains, in front of the dressing table, a beautiful woman in a pale gold phoenix skirt was sitting.
The woman’s beauty was so dazzling that the hairpins in her head were a bit bleak.
“What’s the makeup today?” The woman asked.
“Your natural beauty decorated with supreme makeup is beautiful and incoherent. You crown the gorgeous harem.” A maid said softly.
The woman smiled with satisfaction. She was always confident about her appearance.
At that time, she deserved the first beauty in Beijing.
At this time, a maid stepped in shallowly.
“Ma’am, she is here.”
The female phoenix’s eyes narrowed slightly and then stood up. The pale gold sleeves slipped across the dressing table, dazzling.
“I am going to see what the girl looks like now.”
Outside the palace, Nangong Ning was looking up and around.
The Lihua Hall was as the name suggested.
On her way, she had passed all the information about Concubine Anli in her mind.
Concubine Anli was the aunt of Miss An Suying, the prime minister. The three generations of An’s family were the prime ministers. It could be said that An family was the prime minister’s family, and the father of Anli was also the emperor’s teacher.
Not only was Emperor Fengtian a student of Prime Minister An, but when Jun Qianye was a prince, he also was tutored by her.
Jun Qianye was one year older than Concubine Anli. When Concubine Anli was born, she and Jun Qianye had a marriage contract. They were about the same age. Concubine Anli followed her father in the palace, so she could be regarded as a sister of Jun Qianye.
Anli looked very beautiful. In her teens, she was called the first beauty of Beijing. In addition, the two were also regarded as brothers and sisters, so at that time, everyone was very optimistic about Jun Qianye and Concubine Anli. When she was eighteen years old, she suddenly took the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract with Jun Qianye, and then quickly entered the palace as a concubine in all unresponsive time. Fengtian Emperor also respected his teacher and the beauty. Li was the title, and she was named Anli.
This incident was a wave in Beijing and China.
However, because the person involved was the Emperor of the Eastern Calendar, no one dared to talk about it in public, and many people only secretly sympathized with Jun Qianye whose wife was taken away by his brother.
It was Jun Qianye, who had never mentioned the matter, nor was he alienated from his elder brother, which caused many people to secretly speculate for a time.
However, the people in Beijing did not dare to talk about the emperor, nor did they dare to chew on the tongue of the regent. So this matter would fade sooner or later.
Nangong Ning counted the time. Concubine Anli entered the palace seven years ago, that was to say, she was now twenty-five years old, which was ten years older than she.
Ten years old, it was not little. Nangong Ning’s heart was tight, and she felt that there was a tough battle to fight next.
She thought that Anli chasing her down was definitely not for the assets of the Nangong family, but mostly for Jun Qianye.
This was the case with women. They can give up men, but don’t want him to be taken away by other women.
“Miss Nangong, please.” Anqing came slowly and said softly.
Nangong Ning nodded slightly and stepped into the hall.
The fragrance in the hall was faint. Nangong stared at her with a faint smile on his face, walking forward slowly.
In this case, anything could lose but momentum.
In front of the hall, there was a woman in Chinese dress and hairpin with a delicate makeup and looked extravagant.
Nangong Ning approached and looked at Concubine Anli.
Sure enough, she was the first beauty. Nangong Ning was convinced of her appearance.
Nangong Ning, her memory was very vague. Although she was the eldest daughter of the Nangong family and had a marriage contract with the prince, the two were ten years old and there was no possibility of communication.
If it wasn’t for this time that she was given marriage to Jun Qianye, Concubine Anli felt that she would never expect to see such a little girl.
Yes, it was indeed a little girl.
Nangong Ning’s little face looked a little childish, fifteen years old, already close to the age of marriage, but still too tender.
More importantly, Nangong Ning’s face was far more beautiful than she imagined. This kind of freshness couldn’t be dressed up like her at the age.
The facial features were exquisitely beautiful, even if they had not been fully opened, but it seemed that the beauty was still beautiful and people couldn’t look away.
Concubine Anli never felt that she would lose to anyone in appearance.
But at this meeting, she looked at Nangong Ning’s face, which was not yet fully developed, and she felt guilty, as if there was something she had always had but was leaving
She moved her face and wanted to say something, but Nangong Ning grabbed her in front of you and greeted her for a long time.
“Nangong Ning sees the concubine.”
Concubine Anli felt choked.
“Nangong Ning? Get up, come and let me take a good look.”
Nangong Ning got up and really stepped in front of Anli with a calm smile on her lips.
Concubine Anli felt choked again.
She didn’t know if Nangong Ning was intentional, but whether she was intentional or not, she didn’t like her action.
She was a concubine. When Nangong Ning saw her, she should be in awe and fear and afraid of shrinking, but she was not at all.
In this regard, Concubine Anli felt very unhappy.
In fact, this matter was really injustice to Nangong Ning. She was a modern soul, having no ideas of such class concept in ancient times. In her heart, everyone was born equal, so why did she want to be lower in front of Anli?
More importantly, this woman once sent a killer to kill her. And she was very cruel. Why should she bow her head in front of this woman!
Concubine Anli held Nangong Ning’s hand and looked at her face quietly, sighing: “Miss Nangong is really a beauty, not inferior to Mrs. Nangong.
Nangong Ning nodded, not humble at all, and said, “Daughter looks like her mother, which is normal.”
Concubine Anli’s face froze for a moment.
“By the way, concubine, are you preparing the dowry for me?”
Concubine Anli was stunned again. She was a bit confused about Nangong Ning’s way. The dowry was just an excuse for her.
Today, the killers she sent were all handled by the people in the Regent’s Mansion. She knew very well about Jun Qianye’s temper. Of course she didn’t dare to send people to break into the Mansion.
But Nangong Ning was not what she had imagined.
She seemed not afraid of herself at all.
“Miss Nangong, dowry …”
“She told me, could she lie to me with the name of you? “Nangong Ning said with one finger pointing at Anqing standing on the side.”
Anqing stunned, reacted, and quickly came over and knelt down and said, “I didn’t.”
