Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Rong Jing seemed not to notice, and said calmly, "For me, County Princess Jingning, first of all, her surname is Ning, and she is the head of the Ning family. Secondly, she is the master of the silver-faced young general. These two points are enough for me to look at her differently. It doesn't matter whether she is a man or a woman."

There is no love between men and women, only worldly conflicts of interest.

He had already distanced himself from her, but the emperor was still worried and tried to test her, "If you are interested in marrying her, I can grant you a marriage."

A strange look appeared on Rong Jing's face. "I heard that a senior monk once predicted my fate. I was born to be lonely and widowed. I will lose my father, mother, wife and children. I just want to realize my ambitions and leave my name in history. I have no intention of having a romantic relationship."

He refused decisively, leaving no way out for himself.

After he left, the emperor took a sip of the fragrant tea and asked, "Lin Feng, what do you think?"

A figure walked out from the darkness. It was Xiao Linfeng, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"They can't." Concise and to the point, no unnecessary words.

The emperor pondered for a while. Ning Zhiwei is the head of the Ning family and has an army of 100,000 behind her. Who can be at ease marrying her to a minister?

But her temper looks terrible.

"The Crown Prince, the First Prince, and the Third Prince are all going to choose a concubine. Who do you think is suitable?"

Xiao Linfeng's face changed, and he lowered his head to hide the complexity in his eyes. "This is a national matter. Please make your decision, Your Majesty."

The emperor did not make things difficult for him. He and Rong Jing, one a scholar and one a warrior, were the two sharpest swords in his hands.

"Ning Zhiwei's character is too rebellious and opinionated. She is not suitable to be the principal wife. However, she is not suitable to be a concubine either... ordinary women cannot control her."

He muttered to himself, and suddenly remembered something, "What is her relationship with Lin Jingshu?"

Xiao Linfeng felt nervous, but his tone was very steady, "Not very good."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and smiled, "That's perfect. By the way, what's the age difference between these two people? Has Ning Zhiwei reached the age of marriage?"

The Ning family case was handled by Xiao Linfeng. After reading all the information files, he could easily tell any information related to Ning Zhiwei.

"The county lady is one month away from coming of age, and Miss Lin is eight months away."

"The two are seven months apart? The day of their divorce was the day the bride entered the house, quite interesting." The emperor smiled meaningfully, "Remind her then, and I will send her a gift."

Xiao Linfeng's heart trembled, but he didn't show it on his face, "Yes."

The emperor hesitated for a moment and said, "Take your men to patrol Furong Garden. Don't let Ning Zhiwei get into trouble."

"Yes."

"Investigate Phoenix Tower thoroughly and report any disturbances immediately."

"Yes."

At the entrance of Furong Garden, a bonfire was burning, lighting up the night sky.

The people who went out of the city to camp were singing and dancing, laughing and chatting, it was a sea of ​​joy.

Not far away, Ning Zhiwei was sitting in front of a tent, with a cup of fragrant tea, a box of four-color snacks, and oranges roasting on the stove. He watched everyone singing and dancing, and couldn't help but smile.

Such a peaceful and tranquil life is what she wants.

A delicate voice sounded, "Sister."

It was Lin Jingshu. As soon as she heard about this, she came over immediately and said a lot of high-sounding words.

Things like having to abide by the rules of the capital, having a sense of the big picture, respecting the royal family, being careful with what you say and do and not getting into trouble.

She was preaching like this in front of all the people, stepping on Ning Zhiwei to show her demeanor as a well-educated, dignified and polite lady.

Unexpectedly, Ning Zhiwei said, "You are so well-behaved, why are you running around so late at night?"

Lin Jingshu looked like she was enduring humiliation and said, "For my sister, I would rather sacrifice my good reputation..."

Ning Zhiwei was disgusted. Is it not possible to just keep out of other people's way?

"I've heard that you have a close relationship with Prince Ming. I didn't believe it before, but now that you've rushed here in such a hurry, I believe it."

Her voice was a little loud, and the people around her heard it. Their eyes sparkled, “I believe it too.”

“We believed it, too.”

"After all this time, it turns out it was all for a man, haha."

"I really thought she was doing this for the good of Princess Jingning."

"What are you thinking? You've been ignoring me for more than a decade, but now you're suddenly attacking me. What good can come of that? I think you're planning something bad."

Lin Jingshu was furious and said without thinking, "You would rather believe her than me?"

How could the good reputation she had built up for more than ten years be inferior to that of Ning Zhiwei who suddenly appeared?

The people rolled their eyes, "How dare you compete with the Princess of Jingning County?"

"Are you worthy?"

At this moment, Lin Jingshu realized that Ning Zhiwei was very popular and deeply loved by the people.

Lin Jingshu's eyes turned red with jealousy. She was a time-travel girl. She was the girl of destiny and should be admired by everyone.

All of this should have been hers, but Ning Zhiwei stole her limelight! How hateful!

"Sister, if you treat Prince Ming like this, the Emperor and the Queen Mother and Princess will be angry."

"none of your business."

"If you cause a riot, you'll be dead..."

A cold voice sounded, "What riot?"

A man in a dark fur coat looked at Lin Jingshu coldly. When Lin Jingshu saw him, her expression changed drastically and she immediately stepped aside. "Nothing, nothing."

Ning Zhiwei raised her hand without even turning her head, "Commander Xiao, please take a seat."

She could recognize Xiao Linfeng's voice without turning around, and for a moment, her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

He looked up at the people who were singing and dancing. It must be said that it was not surprising if anything outrageous happened around Ning Zhiwei.

Xiao Linfeng sat down next to her and handed her a cup of fragrant tea. "Want to try it?"

It is top-grade Pu'er tea, with a translucent golden soup and rich aroma. After taking a sip, it tastes mellow and sweet.

Ning Zhiwei raised his glass to express his gratitude, and everything was said without words.

Thank him for allowing the women in the Ning family to retain the last bit of their dignity when he searched the Ning family.

Thanks to him for taking care of the women in the prison. No one was injured and they all came out safely.

However, in the previous life, most of the women died in prison, and those who survived were tortured and torn apart.

She knows everything! When Xiao Linfeng thought of this, a warm current surged in his chest, and he felt inexplicably comforted.

He raised his teacup in greeting, then drank it all in one gulp.

"Is this the snack from Phoenix House?"

Ning Zhiwei pushed the snack box over. "Yes, the cheesy and crispy scallion cookies and crispy chicken are savory, while the pea yellow and fresh milk cake are sweet."

The king was suspicious and had only pretended to be a stranger before, not daring to reveal anything.

Xiao Linfeng took a look and asked, "Which one do you like best?"

“Pea yellow.”

Xiao Linfeng picked up the pea yellow and took a bite. It was delicate and soft, not very sweet.

He ate slowly, savoring his food.

Ning Zhiwei was a little surprised, but didn't think much about it. "The owner of Phoenix House is really amazing. Not only are the dishes novel, but the dim sum is also varied and unprecedented. With a poem that complements the prime minister, it's no wonder he can make a fortune every day."

There was something else behind her words. Xiao Linfeng paused and looked up slightly. Not far away, Lin Jingshu was staring at them with a gloomy expression.

"The eldest daughter of Dingyuan Hou is known as the most talented woman."

Ning Zhiwei raised the corner of his mouth, and sure enough, he started to investigate the Phoenix Tower.

Once you come into the sight of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, it will be difficult for you to escape even if the Phoenix Tower is protected by the Imperial Concubine.

"I heard that she is able to get along well with both the Crown Prince and the First Prince, and is aiming to become the Queen..."

Xiao Linfeng's hand trembled, and the tea splashed out. "Don't say that."

"Hahaha, I won't say anymore." Anyway, Ning Zhiwei had already applied the eye drops, and she believed that this sentence would be heard by the emperor word for word.

Xiao Linfeng looked at her bright smile and hesitated for a moment, "You... knew me before?"

Call out his name the first time you meet him.

Ning Zhiwei opened his mouth and was about to say something when he heard a commotion.

"Oh no, there's a riot."

Both of them changed their expressions and stood up at the same time.
