Chapter 419 Chen Ningya enters the palace

  The emperor carried the old head of the season, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you think the deputy commander Wen has met the prince of Dingbei before this?"

Old Jitou shook his head decisively, "Your Majesty, this minister thinks it's impossible, the Prince of Dingbei met Mrs. Wen in Qing'an County. At that time, Deputy Commander Wen had been studying in Fucheng, and the two could not meet each other, so they retreated 10,000 steps. Said that at that time, the Wen family was ordinary, and in Qing'an County, it was not even a local tyrant and a squire, such as the Prince of Dingbei, who was so innocent, I really couldn't think of anything in the Wen family that would make him look at it. ."

  The emperor felt that what Lao Jitou said was very reasonable, but just in case, he still couldn't let it go. After pondering for a while, he ordered: "Go and invite Mrs. Wen into the palace, and I will ask her face to face."

   Old Jitou's face flashed a trace of consternation and solemnity, but he still responded respectfully and went out to pick up people in person.

   When he rode his horse and whipped his whip to Wen Mansion in Liu'an Lane, he learned that all the masters of the Wen family had gone to Zhuangzi in the suburbs, and he was immediately depressed. Fortunately, he had a special status and could enter and leave the capital anytime, anywhere, so he immediately rushed to Zhuangzi in the suburbs.

   Chen Ningya just settled the family in this room, and turned to Lao Jitou and came to the door. Behind him was a team of secret guards, who came so violently that people in the courtyard were panicked.

  Chen Ningya hesitated for a moment when she met those eyes that seemed to be similar to before.

   But he heard the old Jitou ask in a deep voice, "But Mrs. Wen?"

   "I am." Chen Ningya bowed respectfully, she already knew who the other party was, but she couldn't guess his identity. Since the other party pretended not to know, she could only act with her.

  Old Jitou saw Chen Ningya's reaction, the admiration in his eyes flashed, and said in a businesslike tone: "The emperor has a purpose, please come to the palace."

   "The emperor asked me to enter the palace?" Chen Ningya thought about thousands of possibilities, but there was no such thing, her expression looked dull and stunned.

   Lao Jitou nodded heavily, thinking that Chen Ningya was afraid, so he said one more sentence, "Don't worry, just ask something."

  Chen Ningya quickly regained her composure, smiled, and said, "In that case, Rong Concubine said a few words to her family and left."

   Lao Jitou did not stop him.

Chen Ningya calmly bypassed the Moon Gate, avoiding the sight of Lao Jitou, and then her pace quickened. She entered Wen Yuanjing's room, closed the door, and whispered, "Someone has come from the palace, mother is entering the palace now. One trip, if I can't come back tomorrow, you can ask your sister-in-law to contact the Zhuo family and your second brother, and do everything according to their wishes."

   "Mother" Wen Yuanjing looked worried.

  Chen Ningya shook her head at her, motioning her not to ask anything, went back to the room, changed clothes, came out, and followed the old Jitou.

  This time she didn't even bring a maid, she was alone.

   Wen Yuanjing followed Zhuangzi outside, with red eyes trying hard not to let herself cry, until the group of Lao Jitou disappeared from sight, she turned and ran to the small courtyard where Zhuo Qianyu lived.

The carriage arrived at the Meridian Gate in the middle of the night. At this time, the palace gate had been locked. The mighty Imperial Guard had three floors and three outer floors, which made the palace watertight, but Lao Jitou was able to drive her straight in, which shows that his identity is more than that of him. She guessed even higher.

Without waiting for Chen Ningya to ponder, the carriage continued to move forward, the surroundings were silent, it was pitch black outside, and I didn't know where I was at this moment, just when Chen Ningya was about to speak up, the old Jitou said: "Mrs Wen, has arrived."

Chen Ningya walked out of the carriage without saying a word, looked at the surrounding environment, her erratic eyes finally fell on the three words in the imperial study, her heart could not help tightening, the palms under the long sleeves were already sweaty, but she pretended to be calm. He helped the soldier's hand down, and slowly stepped up the white jade stone steps.

  Arrived outside the hall, Lao Jitou went in first to report, and soon Chen Ningya was called in.

   From entering the hall to kneeling down to salute, she always lowered her head and kept her eyes from squinting, "My concubine pays respects to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live."

A gentle voice like a spring breeze resounded through the hall, as if it carried a soft and reassuring power, brushing away the anxiety in people's hearts. What is even more rare is that this voice is calm and steady, without the slightest nervousness and fear, unlike those who entered the palace for the first time. The holy woman and child.

  On this one, the emperor already thought that the woman in front of him was unusual. With curiosity and inquiry, he said, "No ceremony, flat body."

  Chen Ningya stood up obediently, standing in the same place in a well-mannered manner, her posture was not in the least bit weaker than that of an aristocratic woman, and he would not believe that this woman came from a remote village.

   The more this is the case, the more the emperor suspects that the Wen family is related to the Prince of Dingbei, and his eyes on Chen Ningya are a little more scrutinized.

   "I heard that Prince Dingbei put something in Mrs. Wen's place. Does Mrs. Wen have any impression?"

   A dignified voice came from above Chen Ningya, but she was calm and asked honestly: "Who is the prince of Dingbei the emperor said? There is no such person among the people I know."

The emperor frowned and looked like he was about to get angry, but Lao Jitou kindly reminded him: "The prince of Dingbei said that he went to Qing'an County in the past, and was in the old lady's restaurant with the then county magistrate Shen Bian. I don't have enough money to eat, so I gave the old lady something close to me, does the old lady have any impression?"

Chen Ningya looked "suddenly", "My concubine remembered this matter, it turned out that the son was the prince of Dingbei, but I really didn't know about it. At that time, when I first entered the store, when I saw Lord Shen, I went over to ask for safety. , I didn't think that the prince took out the jade pendant directly and said that he would use that thing to pay for the meal. Although the concubine had no knowledge, he knew that it was a good piece of jade.

Wherever the money for a meal can be used for the jade to pay off the debt, the concubine suggested that the prince should go to the pawnshop to change the money and then pay the money. As a result, the prince was so embarrassed that he saw that the concubine refused to accept the jade, so he put the jade pendant on it. In the hands of the little girl, she turned around and ran away. The concubine wanted to return it to Lord Shen, but Lord Shen said that this matter had nothing to do with him, and he clearly didn't care. The concubine couldn't, and could only take the jade first. "

Hearing that Chen Ningya asked the prince of Dingbei to go to the pawnshop to **** the jade pendant, the emperor and the old Jitou twitched their mouths together. I didn't expect the dignified Mobei Killing God to be so embarrassed. No wonder he came to ask for something so low-key , Nine times out of ten, he was afraid that the news would ruin his heroic image.

The explanations on both sides are the same, and Chen Ningya said it in detail, and her expression is indifferent, as long as you ask Shen Bian again, or ask the people who were in the restaurant at that time, this matter is accurate, so the emperor's expression is also relaxed. After thinking about Wen Yuanliang, his attitude towards Chen Ningya became a little more friendly. Seeing that she kept her head down, she said warmly, "Let's raise your head and talk back and forth! Wen Yuanliang is the number one scholar appointed by Zhen, you can raise such a person. Excellent son, I am so relieved!"
