Remarry 9,000 Years Old
Chapter 21 Want to make him your concubine?
Shen Nanqiao's heart moved.
I don’t know whether Ning Su was quick to report the incident or whether Madam Liu couldn’t help herself and went to ask for help.
But there was no time to think about it now, she quickly stood up and followed the queen to welcome the emperor.
She had seen the emperor in her previous life, but her impression was only of a bright yellow figure in the distance. This was the first time she had seen his face at such a close distance.
Emperor Ming was a handsome middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He looked quite kind, but his face was a little pale, and it was said that he was not in good health.
"Is this Lingjun's new wife?" Emperor Ming spoke more kindly than he looked.
The Queen laughed and joked.
"Didn't you see the factory official come with you? He was worried about his wife. Otherwise, how many times in this year would he be willing to set foot in the Cining Palace?"
At first glance, this sounds like a joke, but upon closer inspection, it is somewhat provocative.
It seems that the Queen is not as kind as she appears. I don't know whether she wants to use Ning Su to stab the Queen Mother, or to use the Queen Mother to suppress Ning Su.
Shen Nanqiao remained calm on the surface, but secretly took note of this in his heart.
When I looked up, I saw Ning Su following Emperor Ming in.
For a moment, Shen Nanqiao forgot that she was in the Cining Palace, and the only thing in her eyes was the man who descended from the sky like a divine soldier.
He changed into a flying fish suit and tied a white jade belt around his waist, which made his waist, legs and face look even slimmer and more delicate.
"Look at them. They are newlyweds after all. They just came back home in the daytime, but they can't take their eyes off them in just an hour."
The queen's joke brought Shen Nanqiao back to his senses.
She suddenly remembered that she was still in the Cining Palace.
Ning Su's eyes slid across Shen Nanqiao, and a fleeting smile flashed in his eyes.
Emperor Ming nodded and turned around.
"If the Queen hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that he hasn't even kowtowed to express his gratitude for marrying his wife."
A young palace maid tactfully brought a cushion over, and Ning Su did not refuse and took Shen Nanqiao's hand.
People who practice martial arts have thin calluses on their palms, which rubbed against her tender palms, causing a slight itch.
Before Shen Nanqiao had time to think about it, he was led to kneel down and kowtow.
Emperor Ming called out and laughed again.
"This is considered as a seal of approval in front of me. No one else can easily embarrass his wife in the future."
Shen Nanqiao suddenly realized Ning Su's intention. This was his idea from the beginning.
The people who deliberately indulged the Empress Dowager took themselves to the Cining Palace, and then brought Emperor Ming to rescue them.
In this way, this marriage, which was originally not legitimate, became clear. Even without the three matchmakers and six certificates, as long as the emperor said it, she would be the wife of a factory official.
Thinking of this, Shen Nanqiao couldn't help but glance sideways at the person next to him.
With the intelligence network of the Eastern Depot, it is impossible for him not to know that the Cining Palace had sent people, not to mention that the entire Silijian was under his jurisdiction.
So the only explanation is: he did it on purpose.
Shen Nanqiao felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart, but he was also worried for him.
When she stood up, she was not steady and swayed slightly. Ning Su quickly helped her up and did not let go until she had stood steadily.
This action was seen by everyone.
The queen raised the corners of her lips.
"I thought that with my personality, I would end up living alone, but I didn't expect that I would fall into the mortal world."
These words struck Shen Nanqiao's heart not too hard or too lightly.
It was because of her in the previous life that the banished immortal-like figure was tarnished and lost his life.
Emperor Ming burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"I never expected that he would actually love his wife."
Only the Queen Mother seemed to be smiling.
"If it weren't for that incident, he would have been married a long time ago, right?"
After these words were spoken, the emperor and empress both looked unhappy, except Ning Su, who remained as still as a mountain.
Although Shen Nanqiao didn't know the whole story, he knew that he had to protect Ning Su in front of Emperor Ming at this time.
So she acted shyly as if she didn't understand the meaning behind the Queen Mother's words.
"It can be seen that marriage is destined by heaven."
Emperor Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this and he raised his eyebrows.
"What a marriage destined by heaven! Just for these words, I will reward you."
The eunuch quickly brought the rewards, and the queen also rewarded a set of ruby head ornaments to please the queen.
The Queen Mother looked at Shen Nanqiao intently, and suddenly smiled. She reached out and took off the jade bracelet on her wrist.
"I don't have any reward, it's just a worthless little thing, I just wear it for fun."
Shen Nanqiao came from a well-off family, and his mother's family was also from an aristocratic family. Just by looking at the water level, one could tell that the jade was no ordinary item.
Ning Su, who had remained silent since entering the room, suddenly spoke.
"A gift from an elder cannot be refused. Please accept it."
Upon hearing this, Shen Nanqiao took it and put it on his wrist.
This is a common etiquette. When you receive a reward from an elder, especially a small item like a hairpin or jewelry, you should wear it on the spot to show respect.
When she raised her hand, the twisted gold bracelet on her wrist was revealed. The empress dowager's eyes flashed, but she quickly regained her composure.
Emperor Ming was obviously very satisfied with her knowledge and good reasoning, and he gave her an extra instruction.
"Lingjun is a cold-tempered person, so don't take him seriously. I know about the troubles in Pingyuan Marquis's mansion. If you are wronged, just go to the palace and complain."
Shen Nanqiao felt more at ease after hearing such golden words.
Emperor Ming was in a good mood. He exchanged a few words with the Empress Dowager, then excused himself and left to review memorials. The Empress also followed him.
Before leaving, Emperor Ming gave Ning Su specific instructions.
"You are not needed to accompany me today. You are newlyweds. Send your wife back home."
After saying that, he left.
Ning Su was about to lead his people away, but he heard the Queen Mother's gentle voice.
"I get along well with the new wife of the factory minister. Why don't we stay at the Cining Palace tonight?"
Shen Nanqiao was shocked. He had never heard of anyone letting his wife stay overnight in the palace. Even if the empress dowager was a widow, she was not the only one in the harem.
Don't we need to avoid suspicion?
Ning Su turned around, still as calm as ever, and bowed.
"Isn't this impolite?"
"Then is it proper for you to marry a wife rashly without a matchmaker or an engagement?"
Shen Nanqiao was a little confused. Emperor Ming had already promised the marriage, but the Queen Mother wanted to bring up the old matter again and said it was against etiquette. Was she going to go against Emperor Ming?
Ning Su was a man who never let anything slip through his fingers. Upon hearing this, he immediately found the loophole in the Queen Mother's words.
"In an emergency, we have to make up for it. The emperor has just agreed in person, so it can be regarded as the emperor's matchmaker. As for the engagement, it is indeed my fault. I will make up for it when I return."
However, the Queen Mother was not satisfied and pushed the cat off her lap.
"You're using the emperor to pressure me?"
Ning Su folded his hands and leaned forward slightly.
"I dare not, I just tell the truth."
"Does this mean that I don't want to hear the truth?"
Shen Nanqiao broke out in a cold sweat, and saw that Ning Su was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Your Majesty, if you have any advice, please tell me directly."
The Queen Mother seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and she winked at the nanny beside her.
Soon a scroll of portrait was handed to Ning Su.
"This is my niece's granddaughter from my mother's side. She is sixteen years old this year. She is a first-rate person with excellent character and talent. I think she is good. What do you think?"
Shen Nanqiao's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Queen Mother also had a hobby of giving people concubines?

The Queen Mother: She is only 16. If your husband works hard, he can become her father.
A certain governor: That's impossible. My wife is only 17. No matter how hard she tries, she can't give birth to a 16-year-old baby.
