Remarry 9,000 Years Old

The Ninth Princess, who was called out, remained calm and curled the corners of her lips gently.

"What Madam Pingyang said is absolutely right, but I don't know if the factory officials can successfully catch that man, bring him to justice, and give Miss Sun justice."

This statement is somewhat provocative.

Shen Nanqiao remembered what Ning Su had told her before, that he could catch the person even if he climbed three feet into the ground, and she felt more confident.

She nodded and looked back at the topic.

"If this person had existed, he would have left traces. Moreover, the imperial palace is so huge that there are more than just the factory guards as spies..."

Shen Nanqiao paused meaningfully.

The Ninth Princess' eyes hesitated for a moment, so fast that it was hard to catch. She stroked the loose hair on her temples.

"Then I will wait for good news from the factory officials."

The Queen Mother was too lazy to watch the two of them exchange witty remarks. She sighed slowly, her tone full of vicissitudes.

"I have raised Rulin since she was a child. Although she is a little naive, she is a girl from an aristocratic family. I originally wanted her to be the Crown Princess, but now that something like this has happened, I have no choice but to let it go."

Shen Nanqiao thought to himself that the Queen Mother's words still showed that she still had evil intentions.

That's right. After all, Sun Rulin was still a virgin after the public examination. This little consolation was enough to make the empress dowager determined to make a comeback.

However, it is not advisable to go against her at this time. You can just deal with her moves in the future.

So she pretended not to hear, looking at her nose and her heart, and remained silent.

The Queen Mother knew that she was a very tight-lipped person, so she was not annoyed and took the initiative to change the subject.

"In your opinion, what do you think of the young lady from the Zhou family?"

Shen Nanqiao was a little surprised. Why did he change his mind so suddenly?

She pondered the Queen Mother's intention and replied cautiously.

“Naturally it’s great.”

The Queen Mother nodded.

"Speaking of which, Lord Zhou is considered to be upright in the cabinet. I think it is better to marry a virtuous woman. She has been well-educated and well-mannered since she was a child. She is also a good choice."

Shen Nanqiao's answer was somewhat hesitant.

Although Lord Zhou was not an outright royalist, he was not entirely on the side of the Queen Mother. Given the Queen Mother's proud and arrogant personality, it would not be easy for her to give in.

Shen Nanqiao glanced at the empress dowager's expression calmly to make sure she was not speaking in a sarcastic way.

"Then the Queen Mother wants to make Miss Zhou the Crown Princess?"

The Queen Mother scratched the cat beside her and said calmly.

"I can't make the decision on this matter. Besides, this is just our wishful thinking. The girl may not agree." At this point, she looked at Shen Nanqiao with interest, "Don't you know that she liked Ning Changchen before?"

Shen Nanqiao suddenly realized that after going through so much trouble, he was waiting for her here.

I couldn't help but feel sad. As the Queen Mother, she was at a disadvantage in the face of such a trivial provocation.

Then the Queen Mother continued to speak with gloating voice.

"It's a pity that the goddess wanted to marry but the king didn't. At that time, our factory officials didn't know the benefits of getting married." She paused, "If the eldest daughter of the Zhou family had known earlier, she would have been braver and spoken directly."

This is clearly an allusion to the way Shen Nanqiao married Ning Su, but since she dared to do it in the first place, she is not afraid of being questioned now.

"It's obvious that money can't buy early knowledge. It's hard to explain the fate of marriage." Shen Nanqiao straightened his back proudly, "It's like we all think that the prince and Miss Sun seem to have great potential, but due to some strange coincidences, there's no guarantee that their fate will lie somewhere."

The words were neither soft nor hard, but they struck a snag with the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother sneered, just enough to hide her annoyance, and gave the order.

"It's useless to talk so hard. We might as well ask the prince himself what he thinks. If he really likes that girl Rulin, after a few days when the storm is over, I will personally issue an order to preside over the marriage. Let's see who can say no."

Shen Nanqiao asked even though he knew the answer.

"Didn't you just talk about the eldest daughter of the Zhou family?"

The Queen Mother was not annoyed even though she was choked.

"It's better to keep this for the factory official. What if he wants to take a concubine?"

Shen Nanqiao smiled without saying anything. The empress dowager felt proud of herself and asked again.

"But you're not happy? As a man, which one doesn't have three wives and four concubines? No matter what his status is."

Shen Nanqiao rolled up his sleeves.

"How could that be? I was thinking, if this day really comes, who would be the most suitable person to propose marriage? He is a minister, and a person of lower status might not be suitable. I'm afraid that the emperor will have to issue an order in person."

After all this back and forth, the Queen Mother became anxious.

"You're using the emperor to pressure me?"

Shen Nanqiao looked innocent.

"How dare I? This is a huge misunderstanding. You said take my wife, am I not agreeing with you?"

The Queen Mother was so angry that her face turned blue.

Shen Nanqiao also knew the principle of knowing when to quit, and bowed slightly.

"If the Queen Mother has no other instructions, I would like to take my leave. I have to go back to have a reunion dinner today on New Year's Eve. I wish the Queen Mother good health and longevity." Then she turned to the Ninth Princess and smiled shyly, "I also wish that the Princess and the Prince will be reunited soon."

The Ninth Princess has made great efforts to cultivate her energy over the years, and can still maintain superficial courtesy.

The Queen Mother gritted her teeth. She was already a grandmother, and there were so many other blessings to say, but she had to wish her eternal youth. What else could this do?

Just as she was about to get angry, she saw the head nanny hurried in from outside.

"Your Majesty, Master Ning is waiting outside and wants to take Madam back."

"Can he take people away from my Cining Palace whenever he wants?"

The head nanny hesitated for a moment and then spoke cautiously.

"The main thing is that he brought the emperor's oral order, saying that he invited you to come over, and the family banquet is waiting for you to start."

Shen Nanqiao's facial features lit up at that moment, and she completely reversed her arrogant attitude just now.

"The New Year's Eve family dinner will not delay the reunion of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. If you need anything, just send someone to deliver a message to my residence." She said, revealing a row of neatly arranged pearly teeth. "The world is big, but the New Year is the biggest, isn't it?"

The Queen Mother paused, as if she was struggling with her conscience, and finally waved her hand after weighing the pros and cons.

"Go ahead. Come in and pay your respects the next day. I have something to tell you."

Although he knew that she was up to no good, Shen Nanqiao was eager to go home, so he agreed immediately, bowed hastily, and ran outside.

The Ninth Princess' eyes dimmed. Once upon a time, she also had such a person to run to.

The Queen Mother watched from the side and chuckled.

"It was your own choice to marry Lao Jiu. There is no turning back in this world."

The Ninth Princess withdrew her gaze.

"I think it's great."

Shen Nanqiao was completely unaware of the undercurrents in the Cining Palace behind her. Her mind was entirely on the person outside who said he was coming to pick her up.

The snow in the harem had not melted yet. Ning Su was standing outside in his Feiyu suit. The red clothes and the white snow made him look particularly dashing.

In her past and present lives, she had never experienced the feeling of being waited for by someone.

I had mixed feelings at that moment.

So she held up the hem of her skirt and trotted over. The cold fragrance from that person was getting closer and closer, almost drowning her.

I don't know what kind of courage bewitched her, but Shen Nanqiao stretched out her arms and hugged his waist. His waist was unexpectedly slender under the belt, but she felt particularly safe.

In this life, someone finally took her home.
