Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

These are the palace maids of Qianming Palace. Each of them is a smart person. Moreover, they have all followed Ning Zhiwei since she was in the northwest and are her confidants.

He only listens to her and is loyal to her.

The palace maid refused to give in, "Without the emperor's order, she cannot enter."

No one informed anyone that the Seventh Young Master's wife came with her sister, which was against the rules.

If something goes wrong, who will be responsible?

The imperial guards would not let in any disorderly people and would block them at the door.

The Seventh Young Master's wife felt ashamed and said, "Then I won't go in either."

The palace servant who delivered the imperial edict changed his expression and said, "Okay, I will go back and apologize to the emperor. I did not do my job well and I deserve to be punished."

She turned and left without hesitation.

The Seventh Young Master's wife originally wanted to control the other party, but as a result, it became very difficult for her to step down.

If she dares to leave like this, she will never be able to enter the palace in her life.

"Wait a moment."

"Sister, please wait for me outside. I will go in and tell the emperor and let you in soon."

Miss Zhou forced a smile and said, "Okay, sister, I'll wait for you."

The Seventh Young Master's wife followed the palace servant inside and tried to get information along the way, but the palace servant remained silent and kept her mouth shut.

This made her even more angry, and she planned to complain as soon as she got in.

Unexpectedly, she did not see Ning Zhiwei immediately. Instead, she was invited into a side hall, served a cup of tea and a snack, and then left alone to guard the door.

The Seventh Young Lady was shaking with anger. Ning Zhiwei was putting on such a grand show, was he trying to intimidate her?

She already had a lot of resentment, and now she was even angrier.

"Come here, I need to see the emperor right now."

The palace maid looked at her coldly and slapped the Seventh Young Master's wife on the head. She was stunned and couldn't believe it.

How dare a mere palace maid hit her?

Whether it hurts or not is secondary; this is so humiliating.

The palace servants were not afraid at all. "This is the palace, not your Ning family that is showing off. Are you tired of living by making trouble in the palace? Do you want to die? Do you want to implicate your mother's family?"

The Seventh Young Master’s wife turned pale and was terrified.

No one spoils her here.

She was afraid and angry, "I am the emperor's sister-in-law, how dare you do this to me?"

The palace maid looked at this stupid woman and said, "Think about how the former Dingyuan Marquis Mansion perished and what happened to the Lin family."

The Seventh Young Master's wife's face turned even paler. Ning Zhiwei had destroyed his father's family, and his biological father was also dead. He didn't recognize any of his relatives.

How could such a person give in to you just because you are her sister-in-law? She only remembers eating but not beating.

The palace maid spoke calmly, but her words were infuriating. "Madam Seventh Young Master, have you forgotten what happened before? Your Ning Family and His Majesty's Ning Family are two different things."

She stabbed him again, "We are both the wife of Mr. Ning Qi, why are you the only one who is not given the title of Madam?"

This is also what Ning Qi Shaofu is worried about, "Why?"

The palace maid looked her over and said, "She is not favored by the king."

Mrs. Ning Qishao's face lost all color, and there was a hint of fear in her heart.

The palace people are not afraid of smart people, but they are afraid of stupid people, because they can still guess some of the former, but for the latter, no one can guess what they are going to do next.

"No one has ever told you that in this circle, if you don't have the favor of the Holy Spirit, you are nothing and anyone can step on you."

The Seventh Young Master's wife felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured over her, chilling her to the bone.

Yes, even this little palace maid dared to step on her!

She waited and waited for two hours before the emperor summoned her.

These two hours were enough to make her uneasy. She quickly put her clothes in order and followed the palace maid to the main hall.

Before going in, she glared at the palace maid fiercely.

Palace maid: ...A fool is a fool. No matter how you advise him, he can't understand.

As soon as the Seventh Young Master's wife entered, she saw a young woman in a bright yellow dragon robe, who looked majestic and dignified.

She stared at him in amazement, hardly recognizing him. Was this Ning Zhiwei? The change was too great.

The palace maid cleared her throat, and she came to her senses. According to the rules, she bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, long live the emperor."

Ning Zhiwei raised his hand and said, "Stand up."

She looked indifferent, "How are the old lady and the ladies?"

Too cold, not a bit friendly.

Before coming here, Madam Ning Qishao had thought a lot about how to cry and make a scene to achieve her goal.

But, all the words were stuck in my throat at this moment, and I replied politely, "All is well, my grandmother is so kind that she allowed me to go ahead and wish my mother a happy birthday."

If the emperor could bestow a birthday gift, it would bring honor to the Zhou family and allow the Zhou family to enter the circle of power and nobility with dignity.

Ning Zhiwei said indifferently, "The old lady is quite open-minded."

Madam Ning Qishao looked at the majestic woman with an inexplicable fear and did not dare to mention the birthday gift.

"Grandmother misses the emperor very much and always says that you are the one that grandfather loves the most. You have lived up to his expectations."

This was said in a tone that sounded like he was taking advantage of his seniority. Ning Zhiwei didn't like it very much. "Anything else?"

Madam Ning Qishao gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, Madam Duan and I live together in the Ning Mansion. She is a royal lady and she always shows off in front of me and puts me down. I am really embarrassed."

She actually also wanted a status, preferably one that was higher than Duan Xinyu's.

Unexpectedly, Ning Zhiwei said, "She is pregnant, please be more tolerant."

The knife stabbed the Seventh Young Master's wife in the sore spot, and she immediately became furious. "Your Majesty, a palace maid just beat me up. Please help me."

If word spread that the palace maids around the emperor beat their own sister-in-law, what would the world say?

If you want to keep her quiet, you have to give her benefits.

Ning Zhiwei sighed silently. Duan Xinyu was too smart and Zhou was too stupid. Couldn't they just neutralize each other?

"Are there any witnesses or evidence?"

Mrs. Ning Qishao was stunned. "Huh?" Where did the evidence come from?

"She hit me on the head and it hurt a lot."

There are many cunning people in the palace. Even if they want to beat you, it won't leave any marks. They will only hit you where the skin is thick and where you can't see.

Ning Zhiwei glanced lazily and said, "I didn't see it."

Madam Ning Qishao: ...

She finally understood that Ning Zhiwei did it on purpose, maybe it was her who ordered it.

She made up her mind and said, "I want to ask the emperor for a favor. Please grant my sister a marriage."

Marriage is the best way to attract talents. If you want power, you must first have talents.

Ning Zhiwei raised her eyebrows, "A marriage grant?"

Madam Ning Qishao said with a smile, "Yes, we picked a son-in-law from the list yesterday and both parties were very satisfied. Please, Your Majesty, give the Zhou family some respect."

Ning Zhiwei gave her a deep look and said, "It's not difficult for me to grant you a marriage. First, this family has made contributions to the country. Second, they have made contributions to me. Which one does your Zhou family count for?"

Madam Ning Qishao frowned, "This is just a trivial matter, why take it so seriously? You can let the Zhou family marry off their daughter with a flourish just by raising your hand..."

She wanted everyone to know that the Zhou family was the emperor's relatives and must be respected. Anyone who wanted to get to the top would come to the Zhou family to build relationships.

This is just the first step.

Ning Zhiwei's face darkened. "You think it's a good idea to use my reputation to bring glory to the heartless and ungrateful Zhou family."

She smiled coldly, "Zhou, since you care so much about your mother's family, then go back and stay there for the rest of your life."
