The system pits me and destroys the heroine

"That's not too late to eat." Xia Ningle could tell that she was not full, but because of her status as a princess, she couldn't gobble it up, so she took a pair of clean chopsticks and picked up a handful of vegetables, "Eat again Twice, or I won't enter the palace."

Si Qinglian felt that she was a little presumptuous, and dared to threaten herself to take two more bites. She was silent for a moment without moving, and her calm eyes showed a hint of sternness.

Not only was Xia Ningle not intimidated by Si Qinglian's eyes, but she pushed the food she caught to her lips and dragged it with the palm of her hand to prevent the juice from dripping on the expensive dress. I am a bosom friend, so I will eat more."

I don't know if she was too resolute, after a while, Si Qinglian slowly opened her red lips, Xia Ningle took advantage of the opportunity to stuff the vegetables in, the red lips were painted bright and shiny with oil, and her slightly puffed cheeks looked like The sulking child was complaining about Xia Ningle's rough behavior.

"Come on, have some clear soup!"

The two were delayed a little while eating, and the guards outside the door rushed over: "Report, the queen sent someone to invite His Highness into the palace."

"understood."

It was the first time that Si Qinglian was full. As a princess before, she could only eat six to seven percent full. Even after leaving the palace later, she still kept these habits.

Chun'er handed over the handkerchief, Si Qinglian wiped her mouth and left the Princess Mansion with Xia Ningle. There was a carriage, four imperial guards, and an eunuch at the door, and they made a special trip to pick up Si Qinglian.

The father-in-law said, "Your Highness, please get in the carriage."

After Si Qinglian got into the carriage, Xia Ningle and Siji were stopped. Her father-in-law said that only Si Qinglian could enter the palace alone. Obviously, the queen was wary of her.

The emperor had three sons and two daughters, one son died on the battlefield, another son died in the harem battle, the youngest daughter was stolen by the imperial doctor Xia, leaving only the crown prince and Si Qinglian, and Si Qinglian was also the eldest daughter loved by the emperor, although He has no right to intervene in state affairs, but the northern border fief in his hand is enough to make people dread.

The queen let Si Qinglian enter the palace this time, firstly because of yesterday's re-examination, and secondly, probably because she wanted to take back the fief in Si Qinglian's hands. As for how to take it back, there are many ways, so Si Qinglian had to leave imperial city.

Si Qinglian turned her head and said, "Let Miss Xia stay with me, she's just a singer in Yuefang, the queen probably won't mind."

The father-in-law hesitated for a moment before agreeing, and the four seasons were worried, but they could only watch the two leave.

The palace is a piece of red walls and glazed tile roofs. There are rows of guards standing in front of the huge palace gate. Everyone has no expression. Before Xia Ningle enters the palace gate, he feels a sense of depression in his heart, which is different from the freedom of modern people. People who live here must act according to the plan, and cannot even leave their posts. What to do and what not to do at what time are clearly arranged. Only those with high positions can have more freedom.

Because Si Qinglian is the conferred princess of Changle, the emperor granted her permission to enter the palace gate in a carriage, so the guards at the gate let her go straight after seeing her face.

The queen lived in Qianning Palace, and the carriage stopped nearby. After Si Qinglian and Xia Ningle got off the carriage, the palace staff drove the carriage to Taipu Temple to return the carriage.

Father-in-law: "Your Highness, please come inside."

Xia Ningle followed closely behind Si Qinglian. Those palace people who were sweeping the floor or pruning flowers and plants worked like puppets. No one dared to speak loudly. There was no laughter. Everyone lived carefully. Only in the oppressive place did she really feel the coldness of the palace.

She whispered next to Si Qinglian's ear: "Just now when I passed by the hall, I saw many palace people running in a hurry, and many men coming in and out. Don't you find it strange, Your Highness?"

Si Qinglian smiled: "It's just a trick of the queen."

She didn't explain too much, and led Xia Ningle in.

There are several maids serving in the empress' bedroom, one fanning her, one pressing her legs, and one peeling grapes for her, while the empress herself is reading a book leisurely.

"Chang Le came to pay respects to the Queen Mother."

Si Qinglian knelt on the ground. She was so proud that she still had to lower her head when facing the queen. Xia Ningle reacted quickly and followed her to kneel on the ground. It was just because she was a little sudden that she knelt too hard and it hurt her a lot.

The queen raised her eyes, her eyes first stopped on Xia Ningle, she paused, and after a while, she remembered to say: "Isn't this from Yuefang? Why did Changle bring the daughter of a criminal minister to this palace?"

"The queen mother has always wanted my son to learn the four arts in peace. I heard that Xia Ningle's piano art in Yuefang is a masterpiece, so I want to bring this person with me to learn a few."

When Xia Ningle heard this, she had a bad premonition in her heart. Sure enough, she heard Si Qinglian say again: "My son brought her here on purpose to present a song to my mother."

Sweat broke out on Xia Ningle's forehead instantly.

The queen squinted her eyes at Si Qinglian. She was still kneeling on the ground. Although she looked down, her sharp eyes didn't look like she would be so obedient.

The maid next to the empress lowered her head and whispered, "Empress, according to the reports from the spies, Princess Changle is indeed learning the piano recently, and she basically learns in the middle of the night."

The queen heard it, and said with a smile: "No need, it's not that I haven't heard Xia Ningle's songs before, why don't Changle play a song for me, so that I can hear how Changle is learning."

Xia Ning heaved a sigh of relief, only then did she understand that Si Qinglian's piano learning was just to confuse the queen, so she just said, how could someone who loves martial arts suddenly want to learn piano.

"My son is not good at learning, and I haven't even understood fingering. I'm afraid I will disappoint my mother." Si Qinglian's eyelids slightly closed, covering up his sharp gaze.

The queen put down the book in her hand, and raised her hand to make the maid step aside: "Forget it, let's get up and enjoy yourself!"

Si Qinglian stood up, Xia Ningle stood up subconsciously, the empress stared at her coldly, and said, "Did I ask you to get up?"

After Xia Ningle heard it, he secretly cursed the damn ancient times and could only kneel down obediently, bowed his head and remained silent.She felt that she was brought here by Si Qinglian to attract her anger, but since she agreed to be used by the heroine, she would naturally not complain, she wanted to see what the heroine wanted to do.

"Xia Ningle, you are quite courageous. You dared to instigate Changle to go to the isolation area. Do you know how serious the re-diagnosis is? How can a little artist like you have the final say?"

The empress looked so fierce that she wished she could cut her with a knife, Xia Ningle said calmly: "Empress, I just..."

Before finishing speaking, the queen said coldly: "Slap your mouth!"

The palace maid came to Xia Ningle's side and waved her palms. Before Xia Ningle could react, Si Qinglian stopped her, leaving only the breeze on her face.

Queen: "She is the daughter of a criminal minister who actually called herself 'I' in front of me. I just slapped her. Why did Changle protect her?"

Si Qinglian's strength was great, and the maid was in pain. When she let go, there was a deep red mark on the maid's wrist, and she said: "Mother, the person is brought by the minister, if the mother is dissatisfied , Tong Erchen said yes, and Erchen will teach her when I go back."

Because the queen wanted Si Qinglian's fiefdom in northern Xinjiang, she naturally wouldn't embarrass her too much, and it was enough to give her a warning, she said: "Forget it, I won't embarrass you this time for Changle's sake, Get up!"

Xia Ning was happy to hear the words, and pretended to kowtow: "Thank you, Ma'am."

"Mother, the re-examination in isolation has won a good reputation for the royal family, and Xia Ningle has also made a contribution to this matter."

The queen smiled, meritorious service is meritorious service, but it is not the prince who made meritorious service, and because it was the prince who issued the killing order, it is not the prince who is grateful to the people, but Xia Ningle: "How can the matter of the isolated area be so simple? If it is handled quietly Fortunately, it is well known now that those who have been diagnosed cannot be killed, and they have to be supported every day. Tell me, how should these people be dealt with?"

Si Qinglian bowed his head: "I don't know, I might as well strengthen the defense of the isolated area first, and then discuss it with the ministers of the DPRK and China!"

"That's all."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it beforehand." The queen smiled and sat beside her, La Siqinglian, her previous indifference was gone, she patted the back of her hand, and said lovingly, "Changle has also reached the age of marriage now. Is there someone you like?"

"Never."

"This young man, if you get in touch with him more, you will be able to get in touch. The queen mother actually called Changle to come today. She wants to match you. The person who came is the youngest son of the Liu family. He has a good appearance and character. He is waiting in the hall. Changle will follow you." I'm going to see you in the palace."

The Liu family is actually the empress's relatives. As long as Si Qinglian marries, the fief of Northern Xinjiang will be held in the empress's hands. Even Xia Ningle understands this truth, and Si Qinglian naturally understands it too.

"My son has met him before, but he is just a slutty slut." Si Qinglian waved his hands, stood up and said, "My mother doesn't need to bother to match my son, because it doesn't count if my mother says so. Of course, if my father It's a different matter if the emperor has issued an order."

The empress's loving smile disappeared, and her stern face was like that of a cannibal banshee. There was no beauty, only eerie terror: "If you insist on an imperial decree, the empress can ask the Holy One for one."

"The minister there will wait for the queen mother to ask for an imperial edict." Si Qinglian left after taking Xia Ningle's farewell.

The queen was so angry that she smashed the fruit plate: "What is the prince doing these days?"

"My lord, the crown prince has not left in the wine forest for three days."

"This trash!"

The wine forest was specially ordered by the prince to build it. Inside are all the beauties the prince collected. Every part of the forest is carefully designed by craftsmen. Entering the forest is like entering a fairyland. The pool in the house has wine, milk and hot springs. , there is also a spring water pool. The stone seats at the bottom of the pool are all built according to the female body. As long as you sit on it, you will have a delicate rubbing feeling, which is more effective and comfortable than spring/medicine.

Xia Ningle: "Where are we going now?"

"Go to the wine forest to find the prince!"

"Huh?" Xia Ningle naturally knew about Jiulin.

According to the description in the novel, the scene there can only be described as chaotic and lawless, in short, it is a place that no serious person should go.
