Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Ning Zhiwei was staying in the innermost cell, which was not very big, only about ten square meters.

However, the layout is extremely cozy, divided into two by a golden nanmu screen, with a set of tables and chairs placed outside, the chairs covered with white tiger skin, which looks very warm, and the four treasures of the study are neatly arranged on the table.

The ox horn lamp hung high, illuminating the dim prison brightly.

Inside was a small bed with thick bedding. Beside the bed was a small table with a four-layer snack box on it.

At my feet were two small red stoves burning silver charcoal, odorless and smokeless, and as warm as spring.

Ning Zhiwei lazily nestled in the quilt, wrapped herself into a small ball, with her little head sticking out. Shaoyao fed her food, sometimes candied fruit, sometimes candy, and sometimes snacks.

This was the scene that the emperor saw, and he felt terrible.

She was sent here to suffer, not to enjoy happiness.

He sneered, "Xiao Linfeng, the treatment in the Imperial Prison is really good."

Simple but not plain, everything is of fine quality. The white fox fur coat covering the bed alone is worth a fortune.

These were all awarded by him.

Xiao Linfeng couldn't help but complain, "Your Majesty, these things were brought in by her. We dare not destroy the things bestowed by the emperor at will."

If she is not allowed to take it, she will pretend to smash it, and act as if everyone is going to destroy the imperial gift together and perish together. Who dares to stop her?

There was no specific charge and no torture. She was a county lady, the head of the Ning family, and the person behind the 100,000-strong Ning family army. What could they do to her?

He is really difficult to deal with!

Ning Zhi climbed out of the bed with a smile on her face. She was dressed neatly, with her hair tied up with a ribbon, and she looked clean and bright.

"Your Majesty, you didn't say no."

Shaoyao quickly put a white fox fur coat on Ning Zhiwei and stuffed the small hand warmer with five butterflies holding longevity into her hands, taking care of her meticulously.

Facing the emperor's anger, Ning Zhiwei seemed relaxed and at ease. Suddenly, he sniffed his nose and said, "Ah, the peanuts are roasted. Shaoyao, give the emperor two to try."

"You, please don't be polite, just treat it like your own home."

emperor:……

"I don't eat."

Ning Zhiwei held the small hand stove, feeling warm all over, "Okay, then you watch me eat."

The steaming peanuts were fragrant, crispy and delicious. She ate them one by one and they were so delicious.

“It’s delicious and smells so good.”

The emperor was so angry that his eyes widened. She was like a copper pea that could not be steamed, boiled, pounded, or fried. Note (1)

But Ning Zhiwei ignored him and just focused on eating.

Shaoyao was circling around Ning Zhiwei, with no one else in her eyes.

A strange fragrance filled the room, inadvertently arousing appetite.

Shaoyao walked to the red stove, where there was a small stew pot. She opened the lid and the aroma became even stronger.

"Miss, the soybean pork trotter soup is just right. Would you like to have a bowl first?"

Ning Zhiwei nodded happily, "Okay, it's better to drink it while it's hot."

"This soup is delicious and nutritious, and is perfect for winter nourishment. Just thinking about having a hot bowl of it in the middle of winter makes me happy."

"Your Majesty, would you like a bowl?" She asked as usual, without much sincerity, just to show her appreciation.

Somehow, this inexplicably aroused the emperor's rebellious psychology. Eat, why not eat?

He is rich and the whole world belongs to him.

But he had no steps to go down.

"I……"

At this moment, Xiao Linfeng stepped forward at the right time and said, "Your Majesty, please let me taste the food for you."

When the emperor was eating, there were special eunuchs who tasted the food, to put it bluntly, their job was to test for poison.

The soup was thick white in color. After drinking it in one gulp, Xiao Linfeng was stunned. It was so delicious.

His lost sense of taste was restored? He could taste the food!

No one knew that the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard had once lost his sense of taste due to poisoning.

His reaction was too abnormal, and the emperor became nervous. "What's wrong? What's wrong? Is it poisonous?"

Xiao Linfeng shook his head slightly and sighed softly, "It's unexpectedly delicious, the soup is rich and mellow, it's absolutely amazing, I've never eaten such delicious soybean and pig's trotter soup."

He picked up a handful of soybeans with chopsticks. "The soybeans are crispy, tender, fresh and fragrant. The aroma of meat and beans is a perfect blend, bringing out all the freshness."

"The pig's trotter is sticky, oily but not greasy, and springy." He took a big bite of the pig's trotter and was stunned. This familiar taste...how could it be?

He looked at Ning Zhiwei suddenly, his eyes were surprisingly bright. She really didn't lie to him.

This successfully aroused the emperor's curiosity. How delicious could this be that could make Xiao Linfeng, who never had a strong appetite, exclaim in such an exclamation?

want to eat!

"Is it better than the imperial kitchen?"

"Yeah." Xiao Linfeng picked up another piece of pig's trotter. The familiar taste made him want to cry, so he quickly lowered his head to hide it.

Ning Zhiwei glanced at him calmly and took the initiative to speak to attract his attention. "Your Majesty, please wait a little longer and wait for the results of the food tasting."

The emperor looked at the three of them eating with relish and wanted to eat even more.

When the time was almost up and Xiao Linfeng was fine, the little eunuch served the emperor his meal.

The emperor picked up a piece of pig's trotter very reservedly. Wow, it tasted even better than he had imagined.

“Whose craft is this?”

Shaoyao lowered her head and said, "Yes, I am a servant."

She has a low presence and always follows behind Ning Zhiwei, and few people notice her.

The emperor took a sip of the soup, which was so thick that it stuck to his lips. It was so delicious that he couldn't stop eating. "What did you put in it?"

Xiao Linfeng paused and looked over subconsciously.

Shaoyao whispered, "This is the special sauce made by my mother."

Xiao Linfeng's mind went blank in an instant, his heart was beating like thunder, and he almost couldn't breathe.

Her mother? Was she the one he was looking for?

Unexpectedly, a voice broke his daze, "Not bad, not bad, Ning Zhiwei, I want this servant."

It’s the emperor, he said as a matter of course, asking you for someone is just giving you face.

Ning Zhiwei's face darkened. What the hell? This is a person, a living person with flesh and blood, not an object to be given away casually!

"No, we grew up together. Although we are master and servant in name, we are actually like sisters."

This is clearly robbery!

"Do you think it's appropriate for my sister to come to the palace and be a cook?"

Upon hearing this, the emperor wanted it even more. It would be great to have such a person in his hand to restrain Ning Zhiwei.

"I have not thought it through. Then she will not be a cook. I will confer her the title of Ningpin, the fifth rank. It can be said to be a step to heaven." Shi En's tone was full of complacency.

Boom, boom, everyone was stunned.

"I don't want to enter the palace..." Shaoyao was terrified and knelt down with a plop. "I just want to follow my mistress. I am hers in life and her ghost in death."

Anyone who wants to enter that cannibalistic palace can do so, but she doesn’t want to go in anyway.

No matter how good a person is, once he enters that land, he will become unrecognizable.

The emperor was stunned. How dare she refuse to become his concubine? How dare she?

His male self-esteem was greatly damaged, and the dignity of the emperor was trampled underfoot. He couldn't help but turn pale and flew into a rage, "How dare you disobey my order?"

"Do you know that there is only one consequence for disobeying the imperial order, and that is the execution of the entire family! Are you sure you want the entire Ning family to be buried with you?"
