Chapter 36 The General Loves the Country Girl (6)
The Queen said a lot of caring words to Ning Shu, which was nothing more than expressing her concern for her sister-in-law. Ning Shu also exchanged pleasantries with the Queen for a long time, and the two of them talked about irrelevant things.
Then the Queen subtly said how hard it was for her to manage the harem, and also subtly said what happened to some concubines.
To put it bluntly, the Queen was complaining to Ning Shu. There was no one in the harem who was not afraid of Li Wen. The Queen was instigating Ning Shu to complain to Li Wen.
The Queen's words were very roundabout, but they were able to arouse Ning Shu's disgust for these concubines. The original owner was just a shield and errand runner for the Queen. She
also said how suitable the original owner was to be a cannon fodder. Emperor Li Wen also used the original owner, but after success, he gave the original owner a noble status. However, the Queen used the original owner, but got nothing good.
It felt like there were crises everywhere in this palace. Ning Shu's task was Duan Xinghui and Erya. As for the others, Ning Shu didn't want to care about them at all.
Ning Shu also saw that the people in the palace could not help her at all. When the marriage was about to take place, it would be good if these people did not add insult to injury.
Ning was thinking whether she should leave the palace.
"Jiahui, what are you thinking about?" The queen saw that she had said so much, but the other party looked absent-minded, not as indignant as before, and went to find the emperor.
As a woman, no one wants to share her husband with others, but her position makes it impossible for her to be willful. She is the mother of a country, so she must be virtuous, must be generous, and must manage these women for the emperor so that the emperor has no worries.
The queen looked at these Yingying and Yanyan, and her heart was in pain, but in order to satisfy the emperor, she really paid a lot, but the emperor was still cold to her.
The queen not only hated the women in the harem, but also envied this princess, because Li Wen treated her so well, and even she, the queen, did not enjoy the treatment.
"The person is gone, Jiahui, you must take care of your body. You are the emperor's sister and the only princess of the Great Yong Dynasty. There are so many good men for you to choose." The queen comforted Ning Shu.
I don't know if it was Ning Shu's illusion, but she could actually hear a sour taste in the queen's tone.
Ning Shu felt a little disgusted and glanced at the queen. To be honest, the queen's appearance was not bad, but she had to maintain her dignity at all times, which looked a little cold and hard.
Deliberately putting on the airs of a queen showed that the queen was very weak in her heart, so she acted so strong to show her status and position. The original owner thought that this queen suited her personality. She
was hostile to these concubines in the harem and felt that her queen sister-in-law was very wronged. Now it seems that the queen was just taking advantage of the original owner's sympathy, probably to win sympathy and trust in front of the original owner.
Ning Shu complained to the queen like the original owner, "Sister-in-law, I feel bad. Why did he never come back?" Ning Shu pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, while looking at the queen's expression.
The queen's eyes flashed with pleasure and joy, but the expression on her face was as if she felt the same pain, and she comforted Ning Shu again and again.
Ning Shu had a firm idea in her mind, that is, to leave the palace. Oh, my god, the harem is full of Li Wen's concubines. If she stays here and gets involved with these sisters-in-
law, it will be too much of a waste of energy. These concubines either hate her, or are afraid of her, or try to please her, or try to win her over. Li Wen's love for the original owner destined her to get involved in the right and wrong of the women in the harem.
She doesn't have the energy to deal with these women. The final decision of the marriage is still in Li Wen's hands. It's better to put her energy on Li Wen to please the queen. Besides, the queen is not as good as she looks. She is just a sweet-faced person with a bitter heart. Ning Shu talked to the queen for a while, wiped her empty tears with a handkerchief, and returned to her palace with Miao Qing and Yuan Dong.
"You two, pack up everything in the storeroom." Ning Shu said to the two people, "Pack everything without leaving anything behind."
Yuan Dong and Miao Qing looked at each other. Miao Qing glanced at Ning Shu and asked, "Princess, why are you packing things? There are a lot of things in the storeroom. Do you have to pack them one by one?"
Ning Shu glanced at her and said lightly, "Don't leave a needle behind."
Miao Qing's heart skipped a beat when she was swept by the princess's cold eyes. Since the princess woke up, she has become incomprehensible. There is no sadness on her face. She is so calm that it is scary. The princess's painful look before is still vivid in my mind.
"Yes." Miao Qing didn't dare to ask again.
Miao Qing took the little palace maid to pack up, while Ning Shu went to find Li Wen. When she saw Li Wen, Li Wen was reviewing the memorials. When he saw Ning Shu, he put down the cinnabar pen in his hand and closed the memorials. His movements were very chic.
Just talking about Li Wen's appearance, women can't escape such charm.
However, when Ning Shu faced Li Wen, she didn't notice how handsome he was.
She was deeply afraid and guilty. The biggest part of her decision to leave the palace was to stay away from Li Wen. This person was too dangerous and his mind was too deep. She couldn't understand him at all. Ning Shu even suspected that he had seen through her.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Li Wen asked indifferently.
Ning Shu organized her words and showed some sadness on her face, "Royal brother, royal sister, royal sister wants to live outside the palace."
Li Wen was just stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face. Ning Shu looked at his smile on his face, and her heart jumped. What does such a smile mean?
Ning Shu's face twitched and her lips trembled, "Royal brother, royal sister wants to go out and relax now."
Li Wen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put it down again, but didn't say anything. Ning Shu's heart was burning, and she had to make an expression of "I am very sad and tired" on her face.
Ning Shu could hardly hold it any longer, Li Wen finally spoke, "Where are you going to live?"
"My sister wants to live in the manor." Ning Shu looked at Li Wen's face and said carefully. This guy is really a piece of ice. He has no expression at all. It is impossible to tell whether he agrees or not.
Li Wen neither nodded nor shook his head, but just said: "The manor is too far away and not safe. Your princess mansion has been built before. Go live in the princess mansion."
Ning Shu's face twitched. This princess mansion is very close to Duan Xinghui's mansion and the Duan family. She really didn't want to live in the princess mansion.
But she had no choice at all. The identity of a princess is noble, but all the glory and dignity can be taken away by Li Wen with just one sentence. Can life be more miserable?
How can I win the favor of this ice-faced man? How can I deepen the relationship between the two brothers and sisters? Ning Shu's mind was in a mess, and she didn't dare to meet Li Wen's eyes.
