Just as she was about to step out of the palace gates, a small eunuch hurriedly ran over from behind her: "Is this the Ning Family's eldest young miss? Please wait a moment, Imperial Consort Niangniang will be here shortly. "
Consort Nguyễn?
After seeing one, she really couldn't escape the other. Ai, this little ant's fate was truly lowly.
Ning Shu hurriedly bowed with a smile: "Imperial Consort Niangniang has something to tell me, this little girl will respectfully comply."
Fortunately, Consort Nguyễn wasn't too arrogant and quickly arrived on a carriage.
"Greetings to Imperial Consort Niangniang."
When she raised her head and saw her, she felt her eyes light up. She really was a beauty. Her entire body exuded a gentle and amiable temperament, which was very compatible with the Guanyin statue in the Buddhist temple.
She was only in her early twenties, and her soft clothes gently protected her slightly bulging belly. Her hibiscus like beautiful face and the embroidered white hibiscus on her golden pink large sleeves made for a splendid scene. She didn't even need to speak to know that she was in a flourishing age.
Ning Shu thought to herself that at such a young age, she had to face the emperor who was older than her father. She really didn't know if she was lucky or unlucky.
However, from Consort Nguyễn's complexion, she didn't seem to be unhappy. No wonder it was said that if a woman in the imperial harem wanted to maintain their beauty, the best nourishment was power.
Unlike the empress's threat to her life, Consort Nguyễn was much more gentle. She even had a bit of guilt on her face: "I've already heard about the absurd things my younger brother did. My heart is filled with guilt. Just now, the empress sent someone to tell me that she has given you full authority to investigate this case. If there's anything I can help with, please let me know. I definitely won't ignore this matter, nor will I be biased towards my family. As for the Yun Family, please pass on my apologies. Afterwards, I will personally go to the Yun Family to apologize to them. "
"Don't worry, Imperial Consort. This little girl will definitely pass on your apologies." Ning Shu bent her knees and saluted. Her water-colored skirt fell to the ground, like the ripples caused by fresh rain falling into a pond. She was the clear and transparent raindrop on the ripples.
Consort Nguyễn beckoned for her to come closer. Her watery eyes were smiling as she looked at her. "If I had a younger sister who was as quiet and beautiful as you, I don't know how much less worry I would have. Unfortunately, I don't have this good fortune. I only have a younger brother who is extremely mischievous. Every time I hear people talk about his various misdeeds, it makes me feel ashamed and speechless. "
Consort Nguyễn heaved a long sigh.
Ning Shu hurriedly replied with a smile, "As the saying goes, 'A prodigal son turning over a new leaf is more precious than gold'. When they were young, Zi Ang and Ying Wu were also mischievous and absurd. Later on, they suddenly repented, and worked hard to study. Just like before, they won the praise of ten thousand people. Fourth Young Master is still young. In a few years, Consort Nguyễn will also have a whole new level of respect for him. "
The Consort Nguyễn really knew how to praise people. One moment, they had a daughter like her, and the next moment, they had a younger sister like her. She only hoped that when the case was solved in the future, if the result was not to their liking, they would remember their words today and be a little merciful to her.
"Girl, you really have a sweet mouth. Come, I have a bracelet for you."
Consort Nguyễn didn't know if she was trying to bribe her or if she really liked her, but she specially took off a golden bracelet inlaid with jade stones from her wrist and gave it to her.
Ning Shu thanked her and respectfully sent off Consort Nguyễn's sedan chair. It lifted up and disappeared into the layers of golden tiles and red walls.
Finally, after acting like a grandson, Ning Shu rubbed her waist that had been bent for the entire day. It was really sore.
Since Ning Shu was summoned to the palace by the Empress, Forsythia and Huimo had been guarding outside the palace gate. There were several other masters who had entered the palace as well. Some of their servants who were waiting outside saw that Huimo, who was dressed in women's clothing, was very charming and dared to flirt with him. Huimo used all his strength to restrain himself from punching them. He scowled and hid far away. He crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, making a posture that kept people a thousand miles away.
But when his arms just crossed his chest, he was touched by the two extra lumps on his chest. He then uncomfortably dropped his hands to his side.
There were only two words in his mind: I want to die. I want to die.
So when they saw Ning Shu come out, they both breathed a sigh of relief. One was finally relieved, and the other was finally not going to die.
"Forsythia, go back to the Duke's residence and report to Father and Mother. Let them be at ease. Oh right, go to Zigui and ask him if there are any discoveries in the Yun residence recently. "
Forsythia nodded and went to do it.
Huimo's face was still dark, "What about me?"
Ning Shu said, "Accompany me to drink wine with girls."
"!!!" Huimo's dark face suddenly turned red, and he was a little shy.
He was picked up by Shizi when he was a few years old and began to be trained in the Prince's residence. There were many rules in the Prince's residence and Shizi didn't like the pretentious maidservants around him. So, he had not had intimate contact with a few girls. Previously, he heard from other guards that there were girls who were fragrant and soft, which made him very jealous. But She Yan Jiusi and the others always said that he was still young and should keep himself clean. He didn't expect that he would have such a good thing when he just started to follow Lady Ning.
He was a little excited when he thought about it.
Suddenly, he felt that cross-dressing was not so abominable.
Ning Shu looked at him up and down and sneered, "Don't worry, accompany me to watch others drink wine with girls. We are going to ask about the case. Why don't you go? "
"…" The little flame of excitement was instantly extinguished.
