The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

Yue Xun will not be able to arrive in the capital for a few days. There are a lot of matters that need to be dealt with for the opening of the new Fengting Building. Uncle Yan can't make a decision alone, so he called Su Jingning over.

Uncle Yan discussed with Su Jingning the relevant matters regarding the opening of the new Fengting Building. After listening to some of Su Jingning's opinions, he made some changes to the opening of the new building. It took them nearly an hour to finish the matter.

After things were finally settled, Su Jingning took Yun Ya and prepared to return home. As soon as he came out of Uncle Yan's reception room, he ran into Su Jingmo who was going upstairs. He couldn't avoid him.

"Ningning? Why are you here?" Su Jingmo met Su Jingning here and thought he was seeing things.

Su Jingning didn't expect to meet his second brother here, so he had to greet him with a surprised smile.

"Second brother? I heard that Fengtinglou will be closed for a while tomorrow. I want to eat the Jiangnan cuisine here, so I came here. Why is second brother here?"

Su Jingmo looked behind her. That was the reception room of Fengting Tower, where normally no one was allowed to enter. He thought Su Jingning had gone to the wrong place.

"Have you found the wrong private room? I have an appointment with my friends here. Come on, second brother will take you to eat." Su Jingmo put his arm around Su Jingning's neck and took Su Jingning to the private room on the other side without saying a word.

"Hey, no.... second brother!" Su Jingning wanted to cry but had no tears. How could his second brother be so rude! He could only be dragged to the private room by him.

"Second brother will introduce you to some friends. My sister is so pretty, they must be envious of her." His tone was full of pride.

Su Jingning: I don’t want to know...

Su Jingmo dragged her to the door before letting her go. He stood in front of her, opened the door first, and walked in. Su Jingning had no choice but to follow him obediently.

"I'm sorry, I was delayed on the way and am late. Please don't blame me."

There were two men and a girl sitting in the private room. They all looked at Su Jingmo with different expressions.

The man sitting by the window had a delicate and elegant face, dressed in white, and looked like a scholar. Looking at Su Jingmo who was late, his expression was somewhat fierce, which was inconsistent with his temperament, as if he wanted to scare Su Jingmo, but when he saw the stunning girl behind him, he couldn't control his expression and looked a little funny.

On his left sat a girl in red, with delicate and deep features, black hair tied up high, and a bit of heroic spirit that only men have. Her whole body had a luxurious and domineering temperament. There was also a sword leaning against the side of the table. She looked at Su Jingmo calmly, as if she was used to it. When she saw Su Jingning, she was also stunned for a moment.

Su Jingning recognized her at a glance, Princess Xuyang Mu Xi, second brother knows her?

There was another person with his back to her and didn't look at them, but she had already recognized him as Gu Yan'an.

"Oh, this is the one I often mentioned to you, my sister, Su Jingning, Ningning." Su Jingmo hugged Su Jingning and introduced her to them.

Hearing Su Jingmo's voice, Gu Yan'an, who had not turned back, turned his head and looked at the standing brother and sister, or to be exact, at Su Jingning.

"Ningning, let me introduce them to you. That one is Qi Nanfeng, the grandson of the old imperial teacher Qi. This one is Princess Xuyang Mu Xi. You should have met her at the last palace banquet. And you also recognize this one, he is the prince of Beiyang, Gu Yan'an." He introduced several people to her one by one.

"So you are the sister Ningning that Ah Mo talked about every day. Today I finally met you in person. I have heard a lot about you. My name is Qi Nanfeng, you can just call me Nanfeng." Qi Nanfeng spoke before Su Jingning even opened his mouth. He was graceful and elegant, and no longer had the fierce expression he had just now.

"Hello, Mr. Qi." Su Jingning was surprised by his change of expression, but still greeted him obediently.

"Good good."

I didn't expect that Ah Mo was so rude and rude, but his sister was so gentle and beautiful. She doesn't look like his brother at all.

Mu Xi glanced at the smiling but useless Qi Nanfeng, and disdain was evident in her eyes.

Turning around, she looked at Su Jingning, who was in a pink, delicate and beautiful outfit. She looked weak and frail. She was thinner than the average girl. She always heard Jing Mo say that his sister suffered from a cold and had been in poor health since childhood. Today, she saw that it was indeed the case.

Seeing Princess Xuyang looking at him, Su Jingning bowed slightly to her. He said in a gentle voice, "Greetings, Princess Xuyang."

"No need to be so polite, just call me Mu Xi like Jing Mo."

Mu Xi deliberately lowered her voice, looked at Su Jingning and smiled slightly, trying to appear gentler. She was so beautiful, with clear and clean eyes. She looked so delicate and fragile that even she couldn't help but want to protect her. It was hard for the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to protect her so well, and she was afraid of scaring her if she spoke louder.

Su Jingning smiled at her without saying anything, but when Su Jingning smiled, her almond eyes curved, looking gentle and soft, very likable, and completely different from her cold appearance when she was not smiling. Mu Xi's impression of her improved a little bit.

Su Jingning and Su Jingmo sat opposite Mu Xi. She was next to Gu Yan'an. She didn't expect to meet Gu Yan'an at this time, so she could only pretend that she didn't know him well and nodded and greeted him.

"Prince Gu."

A smile flashed in Gu Yan'an's eyes. He nodded at her and said nothing more.

"Amo, when can you change your habit of always being late? It was you who made the appointment for this dinner, but you are always late. In the entire Great Zhou, you are the only one who dares to make the princess and the prince of Beiyang wait for you." Qi Nanfeng complained to Su Jingmo, who didn't feel the slightest guilt for being late.

"You are the only one who talks too much. It's obvious that you arrived early. Just ask yourself if Yan'an just arrived. Mu Xi was only half a quarter of an hour earlier than me, right?" Su Jingmo retorted to Qi Nanfeng without any guilt.

Qi Nanfeng was choked up immediately. This was indeed the case. Every time they gathered, he was the first to arrive because he was impatient, while they would always arrive as late as possible.

"Hmph, I won't say anything more. I can't argue with you. Waiter, please order some food!" Qi Nanfeng rolled his eyes at Su Jingmo and shouted outside the private room. After all, it was Su Jingmo who invited them, so he was going to give him a big meal.

The waiter at the door ran in quickly, and Qi Nanfeng ordered a lot of dishes in one breath without asking the people beside him what they wanted to eat. They seemed to be used to it and let him order.

Finally, Qi Nanfeng remembered Su Jingning and smiled at her a little embarrassedly: "Sister Ningning, order whatever you like, your second brother will treat you!"

Su Jingning thought about the dishes he had just ordered, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head. "I'm fine with anything."

Gu Yan'an, who had been silent the whole time, glanced at her, then turned around and said to the waiter, "Take away the dishes with almonds and replace them with something else."

Su Jingmo, who was about to speak up to remind Gu Yan'an, was stunned when he heard Gu Yan'an's words. Ningning was allergic to almonds and had a severe reaction after eating them, but he didn't remember that Gu Yan'an didn't eat almonds either.

"Ah, why? Several dishes I just ordered contain almonds. They are Fengtinglou's specialties." Qi Nanfeng looked at Gu Yan'an with a frown and asked in confusion.

"I have a sore throat and can't eat almonds." Gu Yan'an glanced at Qi Nanfeng, and Qi Nanfeng immediately shut up and stopped talking.

Mu Xi found it funny to see Qi Nanfeng's energy extinguished instantly.

Since almonds were not served, Su Jingmo did not say anything else.

Only Su Jingning looked at Gu Yan'an calmly. Did he remember that he was allergic to almonds? His memory was really good.

The dishes were served quickly, and indeed none of them contained almonds. Su Jingning listened to the conversation and roughly understood why they knew each other.

It turned out that three years ago, Qi Nanfeng and Mu Xi traveled to the northern border and accidentally got lost in the desert. They happened to meet Gu Yan'an and Su Jingmo and were rescued by them. The few of them got to know each other and had similar personalities, so they kept in touch.

Princess Xuyang was a little different from what she imagined. In her previous life, Princess Xuyang was either learning skills with Mo Linyuan or traveling outside. She was rarely in the imperial capital city. But every time she appeared, she brought with her innate nobility and pride, making people afraid to approach her.

Su Jingning didn't know her very well. She only remembered that Mu Ling said that if Mu Xi was interested in the throne, then no prince would be her match.

But the Mu Xi she saw today was different from the dignified and noble Princess of the Great Zhou at the palace banquet that day. She was free and easy and heroic, and she talked with them freely and made people feel very comfortable.

But Su Jingning found that the way she looked at Gu Yan'an was a little different from the way she looked at Qi Nanfeng and his second brother. There was some joy and uneasiness in her eyes, and although she concealed it very well, Su Jingning still saw it.

During the entire meal, Qi Nanfeng, Su Jingmo and Mu Xi were the only ones talking, with Gu Yan'an occasionally interjecting a word or two.

Su Jingning hardly said anything, he just lowered his head and ate seriously, it really seemed like he came to Fengting Tower specifically to eat.
