After the general's wife was reborn, everyone knelt down and begged her for mercy.

Ning Ruyan has her own carriage, so when she travels, she basically does not use the carriage staff in the house.

Arriving at the back door of Yanyu Pavilion, Ning Ruyan motioned to Lao Qian to knock on the door.

Soon someone opened the back door: "Who are you looking for?"

"Look for the commander."

The boy guarding the door looked at Old Qian and the carriage behind him: "Can you see my master if you want to see me?" After saying this, he immediately closed the door.

"Brother, if you are not here, please look for Li Jiu." Ning Ruyan got out of the car.

When the boy looked at Ning Ruyan, his eyes flashed and he nodded slightly: "Wait." Then he turned around and went in.

Soon, Li Jiu came out: "Miss Ning, your Excellency is not here."

"When will he come back?" Ning Ruyan frowned.

"It's hard to say." Li Jiu shook his head.

Ning Ruyan took a deep breath, then turned and left.

But Jiang Yan stood on the Yanyu Tower watching the carriage leave. He didn't go out at all, he just didn't want to see her for the time being.

"Why don't you see her?" Yuli walked over.

"She came to me for sure about tomorrow's banquet. I want her to attend, so why do I need to meet?"

"But aren't you afraid that people in the palace will eat her?"

"If you can't even handle this, how can you be qualified to stand by my side?"

"Are you trying to pave the way for her? But what about Princess Qicai? Are you really not moved at all? If you marry her, it will be equivalent to taking control of Beida Camp..."

Jiang Yan smiled: "As long as I think about it, what does Beidaying mean?"

Youli's eyes flashed for a moment, but he said nothing more.

The next day, after Ning Ruyan packed up, she took Bai Zhi out and asked Banxia to keep an eye on Wutong Courtyard.

When they arrived at the front hall, Mrs. Huo had already brought Jiang Mingyue and was waiting here. Jiang Mingyue was a concubine and was already eleven years old. Soon it was time to talk about getting married. Taking her into the palace this time was considered See if you can get a chance to climb a high branch.

"Let's go." Huo glanced at Ning Ruyan, then turned around and walked out, the unhappiness in his brows and eyes was very obvious.

Jiang Mingyue secretly glanced at Ning Ruyan, then lowered her head and said nothing, clearly showing the concubine's petty temperament.

Ning Ruyan pretended not to see him and followed him out of the gate of the general's mansion.

Although it was still some time before entering the palace, many married women had already gathered at the entrance of the palace.

Carriages cannot enter the palace. They have to enter the palace gate on foot here, and then take a palace car to the harem.

Ning Ruyan's appearance instantly attracted a lot of people's attention, and some were even pointing.

Huo felt embarrassed instantly and quietly stayed away from her.

Ning Ruyan pretended not to see it. She had experienced more serious situations than this in her previous life. At this time, she was innocent and had nothing to worry about. She just sat firmly on the carriage and waited to enter the palace.

"Mrs. Jiang, my eldest princess invites you to come over and talk." At this moment, an aunt who looked like a palace maid came over and reported outside the carriage.

Ning Ruyan hurriedly got out of the car: "Thank you, auntie."

The eldest princess's car has a very luxurious frame, and there is a token hanging on the roof. This car can enter the palace directly.

"I've met the eldest princess." Ning Ruyan saluted under the carriage.

"Come up and talk." The eldest princess gestured.

Ning Ruyan was helped into the carriage by her servants. After entering the carriage, she saw a beautiful young woman leaning on the carriage shaft, and she hurriedly saluted again.

"Sit down." The eldest princess gestured. When Ning Ruyan sat down, she couldn't help but smile, "Are you curious why I invite you to the palace banquet?"

Ning Ruyan nodded.

"Because you and I are both widows." The eldest princess sat up straight and looked Ning Ruyan up and down, "Maybe we can have something in common?"

Ning Ruyan was stunned, subconsciously raised her eyes to glance at the eldest princess, and then hurriedly lowered her head: "The eldest princess is joking."

"Haha, I am telling the truth." The eldest princess smiled again, "Don't be formal, just be casual. I have just returned to Beijing not long ago, and I don't have many friends with whom I can talk."

Ning Ruyan nodded and said to her heart that as long as you want, you will have as many friends as you want.

"Have you ever thought about remarrying?"

Ning Ruyan shook her head: "I never thought about it."

"You are sincere, but I have thought about it."

"Huh?" Ning Ruyan raised her eyes in surprise.

"The man is dead, do I still have to guard him for the rest of my life?"

Ning Ruyan was silent, she couldn't answer this question.

"If a woman dies, can a man keep her alive for the rest of his life?"

Ning Ruyan still couldn't answer.

"I'm telling you, even if a man doesn't know how to marry a wife, he will always have concubines. It's just a status."

"Human nature."

"So, I don't want to remarry anymore. The position of consort has always been reserved for him. However, I can also have male concubines and live with them. What do you think?"

Ning Ruyan opened her mouth wide in surprise. These words made her think a little, but they made her feel so right.

Looking at Ning Ruyan's reaction, the eldest princess seemed to be in a good mood and smiled even brighter: "Didn't I scare you?"

Ning Ruyan had calmed down and hurriedly shook her head: "I'm just a little shocked, but I think what the eldest princess said... makes sense."

"It's indeed interesting." The eldest princess nodded.

Fortunately, at this time, there were eunuchs singing outside, and the wives could enter the palace.

Ning Ruyan wanted to get out of her carriage, but the eldest princess didn't speak, so she could only sit on the foot of the carriage obediently and follow the carriage directly into the palace.

The rest of the married women were either envious or jealous. In short, they all had complicated expressions. The most complicated one was Huo. She was obviously Ning Ruyan's elder, but...

Outside Kunning Palace, the eldest princess got off the carriage and glanced at Ning Ruyan: "Just wait here, the Queen will summon you later."

"Yes." Ning Ruyan saluted.

The eldest princess was supported by the palace maid and took the lead into Kunning Palace.

Soon, the wives of fate also arrived one after another.

Huo's look at Ning Ruyan became more complicated, but Ning Ruyan ignored her.

After a while, a eunuch came out and called everyone to pay their respects to the queen.

Empress Yue and Emperor Xia Wen were a young couple. They followed Emperor Xia Wen when he was still a prince, and later became the crown princess and then the queen.

Although Emperor Xia Wen had many beauties in the harem, he still respected the queen. Even though his legitimate son was injured and might not be able to be crowned heir apparent, her status was still stable.

After everyone saluted, Ning Ruyan quietly raised her eyes and glanced at the woman in the high position, feeling a little complicated.
