Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

The palace where the Queen Mother lived was large and spacious, with a small garden featuring rockery, flowing water, exotic flowers and plants, and was very exquisite.

Ning Zhiwei looked around with great curiosity, which made the palace people look down on her and think she was a maid who had never seen the world.

Little did they know that Ning Zhiwei was checking how many exits and doors there were, where would be the most suitable place to set up an ambush, and where would be more convenient to set up the formation.

The Queen Mother chatted and laughed with several elderly ladies, ate and drank, and was very comfortable.

A dozen young and beautiful daughters of famous families stood behind her, saying flattering words to make the empress dowager smile happily.

"The Princess of Jingning County has arrived."

The room was quiet, Ning Zhiwei walked in quickly, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother seemed not to have heard, and she pulled the noblewoman beside her and said with a smile, "I like your daughter Xinyu very much. She is dignified and decent, and has the demeanor of a noble family. She is a model of the noble ladies in the capital. She is not like some people who brag about being the most beautiful woman or the most talented woman. For us women, virtue lies in being without talent. Being virtuous and kind is the best dowry for a woman."

The Prime Minister's wife nodded with a smile on her face, "The Queen Mother is absolutely right."

Duan Xinyu blushed in embarrassment.

The Queen Mother glanced at Ning Zhiwei and said, "Some people are stubborn and sharp-tongued. They don't know respect or inferiority, and they don't know the big picture. I despise such women the most. They won't have a good marriage in the future."

Her words hinted at Ning Zhiwei, and all the women listened in silence. Some gloated over her misfortune, some sympathized with her, and some looked down on her and mocked her.

If word gets out about this, Ning Zhiwei won’t be able to find a good family.

We can’t blame the Queen Mother for being mean. Ning Zhiwei repeatedly contradicted the princes and even caused the death of the eldest princess, which is really a pity.

The Queen Mother even asked in a particularly mean way, "Princess Jingning, what do you think?"

Ning Zhiwei looked blank, "Queen Mother, what did you say? My feet are so sore, can I stand up now?"

Having said this, she stood up and rubbed her waist, looking like she had been badly abused.

Queen Mother: ...I have never seen such a shameless person.

She shouted, "I'm talking, and you didn't listen?"

Ning Zhiwei asked curiously, "Are you talking to me? Please call my name first next time, otherwise, I will habitually ignore useless information."

Everyone was stunned. She was so brave! How dare she do that?

The Queen Mother's face was red with anger. Useless information? She was talking nonsense? Damn it. There was no respect at all.

This kind of girl deserves to die! Moreover, she can't die too comfortably, so she will be given a poison that will make her bleed from all seven orifices.

"You, kneel outside. Do not get up without my permission."

Ning Zhiwei immediately cried out, sat down on the ground, frowned and covered her chest, "I feel dizzy and my chest hurts, it's so uncomfortable, quickly find a doctor for me, Queen Mother, you didn't poison me, did you?"

The Queen Mother was so angry that she vomited blood, and her hand was shaking as she pointed at Ning Zhiwei. What the hell was this?

"I haven't even met you, how could I poison you? Aren't you afraid of being punished for talking nonsense like this?"

Ning Zhiwei simply rolled on the ground and threw a tantrum, "It hurts, it hurts so much, help me, Queen Mother, please spare me, even for the sake of my Ning family's 100,000 troops, don't kill me."

The Queen Mother was furious. She had this idea in mind, but it was too late for her to do it.

Now that it’s been exposed, how can we proceed?

What she wanted was a sudden and unexplained death that no one could find out, with many doubts but no one able to find the real culprit.

Ning Zhiwei was too famous and had a very good reputation, and she had an army of 100,000 behind her, so she could die, but she couldn't let the whole world know that she died at the hands of someone in the royal family.

"You are the Princess of Jingning County appointed by the imperial court, the head of the Ning family, and the daughter of a famous family. How can this be allowed? Get up quickly."

Ning Zhiwei raised her little head and said pitifully, "So, you won't kill me?"

The Queen Mother weighed the pros and cons again and again, gnashing her teeth and coaxing him, "Who said I want to kill you? I love you so much that I can't wait to ask you to come here because I have something important to tell you."

"Someone, help Princess Jingning up quickly and wash up."

She didn't want to see this shameless girl at all!

The palace maid helped Ning Zhiwei go down to wash. When she came back, she had changed her clothes. She wore the finest white fox fur that was presented as tribute, and the jadeite headpiece that was presented as tribute.

The Queen Mother looked at her. She was actually very beautiful, but her personality was hard to describe. "You are very suitable for jadeite. This set of 36 headpieces is for you."

Ning Zhiwei smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Queen Mother. You are so generous. I would be even happier if you gave me a set of Dongzhu headgear."

The Queen Mother's face froze, and she gritted her teeth, "Go, open the storehouse, and find the set of Dongzhu headgear that I received for my sixtieth birthday, and give it to Princess Jingning as a reward."

Everyone was silent. In this round, Jingning County won!

Mrs. Duan, the Prime Minister, admires him very much.

Several young girls stared with their eyes wide open, as if the door to a new world had been opened. Is it possible to play like this?

As long as you are willing to take risks and are shameless enough, you can take advantage of everything.

The older lady was very clear-headed. Not everyone can play like this. First of all, you have to have a hundred thousand troops behind you. Secondly, you have to have a good reputation among the people. Thirdly, you have to be able to judge the situation, understand human nature, and know your opponent's mind, so you can grasp the timing just right.

If you can achieve these points, then what else can’t you achieve?

Princess Jingning lived up to her reputation, she stepped on the Empress Dowager's bottom line and escaped unscathed.

No wonder, everyone in the royal family hated her to death, but still let her live happily ever after.

The Queen Mother took several deep breaths before suppressing her anger. "Jingning County Princess, I called you here for something important."

Ning Zhiwei played with the round pearls. It was so rare to find one as round as this one. "Please tell me, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother really didn't want to see her like this, but she had to hold it in. "How old is the little silver-faced general?"

Ning Zhiwei raised an eyebrow, having guessed a bit, "Twenty."

As expected, the Queen Mother said sanctimoniously, "Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. As the master, you should also choose a suitable marriage for the silver-faced young general."

She pointed at the dozen or so pretty girls at the scene and said, "Look, these are the most outstanding daughters from famous families in the capital. Pick one."

Many daughters of famous families turned pale and were terrified when they heard the news.

They don't want to marry outside the country, don't want to marry to the northwest and eat sand, and even more don't want to become pawns in the contest between two forces.

This is a clear plan, using marriage to win over the Silver-faced General and let him break away from Ning Zhiwei and start his own business.

The noble ladies were also anxious. Although the silver-faced young general sounded glamorous, he was actually just Ning Zhiwei's personal bodyguard and had a low status. How could he be worthy of the girls they had carefully trained?

"Empress Dowager, my Xinyu is in poor health and cannot marry out."

"My daughter is already discussing marriage."

The Queen Mother's face darkened and she looked at them coldly, "What? Are my words no longer effective?"

The crowd did not have Ning Zhiwei's confidence and means. They turned pale with fear and knelt down in front of her, "Queen Mother, please forgive me."

The Queen Mother looked over coldly, "Princess Jingning, have you made your choice?"
