Chapter 130 Is the Emperor Not Young Enough? Is the Emperor Not Strong Enough?
Ning Zhiwei had just returned to her residence, taken a shower and changed into clean clothes when she heard the emperor summoning her.
"Why is it so annoying?" She just wanted to stay quietly in the house and get through this half month.
"Bear with it." Shaoyao helped her dry her hair and combed it into a simple hairstyle. A few pearl flowers dotted her hair, and a plum blossom tassel hairpin was smart and beautiful.
Shaoyao wanted to put some makeup on her, but Ning Zhiwei looked at herself in the bronze mirror and said, "This is fine. There's no need to make it too complicated."
"Knock, knock, knock." The noise outside started urging people again, like someone was calling for their souls to come back.
Ning Zhiwei slowly drank a glass of water before getting up and leaving.
As soon as she entered the hall where the palace banquet was being held, everyone was there, but the atmosphere was strange and the looks they gave her were even stranger.
What happened? She was puzzled, but she didn't show it on her face. She stepped forward and saluted the emperor. "Your Majesty."
The emperor's sinister voice sounded, "Ning Zhiwei, where have you been?"
Ning Zhiwei pouted. She was just going to go out for a while. Was it really necessary? "Just now, a maid in the palace spilled some food on me. I couldn't stand it, so I ran back to take a bath and changed into new clothes."
Everyone then noticed that she had changed her clothes, her hair was a little wet, and her face was clean without any makeup.
Ning Zhiwei frowned, "Oh, by the way, I don't know who is in charge, why did they bring such clumsy servants out to work? After all, they are in the palace, can't they be trained more? They always pour food on the guests, it's so dirty."
Her disgust was about to overflow.
The emperor looked at him with scrutiny, "Why don't you go to the changing room?"
Ning Zhiwei said confidently, "I already smell, so why would I want to wear clothes? Of course I have to wash them first to make them smell good. I have a mysophobia."
The emperor remained silent, and this was a very good reason, as if she really knew nothing.
The prince rolled his eyes around and suddenly interrupted, "Why didn't you tell this servant before running away?"
Faced with the prince's harsh questioning, Ning Zhiwei was speechless, as if to ask, "Is there something wrong with your brain? Go see the imperial physician."
"Master needs to greet the servant when doing things. Which family's rule is this? Anyway, we don't have such a rule in the Ning family."
The prince was furious at her expression, "This is the palace, and those are the palace servants."
Ning Zhiwei raised her head proudly, "That's also a servant. I'm the head of the Ning family. I'm willing to say that I'm in a good mood and I'm giving you face. If I'm in a bad mood, beating you up is also giving you face. What? If you don't accept it, come and beat me up if you have the guts."
No matter what, she is just a slave. How can she be above the powerful and wealthy?
Everyone: ...That's true, but how did you say it? At least say it in a nicer and more tactful way.
The prince had no idea what to do with her unruly character, and pointed at her nose and scolded, "You are arrogant and unreasonable."
Ning Zhiwei chuckled, "Yes, I am like this, what's wrong? Your Majesty, why are you making a fuss over such a trivial matter and picking on me? Could it be that the slave girl is your illegitimate daughter?"
The emperor stared angrily, "Nonsense."
Ning Zhiwei was puzzled, "Then why are you angry?"
The emperor could not see anything unusual about her, so he went straight to the point, "Do you know what happened to Concubine Lin?"
As he said this, he stared at her face closely.
Ning Zhiwei said nonchalantly, "I never care about the emperor's harem, who is that?"
The prince interrupted again, and he seemed to be arguing with her, "It's your aunt."
Ning Zhiwei rolled her eyes. "How could my Ning family have a daughter who entered the palace? Don't talk nonsense."
Sometimes the prince really wanted to knock open her head to see what was inside. How did she manage to be so relaxed in front of the royal family? She was really not afraid. "The second princess' biological mother."
Ning Zhiwei suddenly realized and felt a little disgusted, "So it was her, isn't she a beauty? She got promoted? She is quite capable, what could happen to her? Where's the second princess? Why can't I see her? Did she sneak out to play too?"
This word is also very spiritual.
"She...she..." The prince couldn't continue. This kind of dirty thing was related to his father's cuckoldry, so he couldn't even mention it.
After Linpin regained consciousness, she cried and said someone was plotting against her, and she wanted to die to prove her loyalty, but she had a broken head. However, she was caught having an affair with two guards, which doomed her to fail.
Ning Zhiwei was so anxious that she kept jumping up and down, "Hurry up and tell me, don't keep me in suspense."
No one dared to say anything. You looked at me, I looked at you, wishing I could find a hole to crawl into. Why would we discuss this in public? There was too much they didn't want to know.
This is a royal scandal.
The emperor is becoming more and more crazy. I can't understand what he is thinking. This is not what a normal person would do.
The emperor looked around, as if checking everyone's expressions and taking away anyone he didn't like.
His cold voice sounded, "Princess Lin is committing adultery in the palace."
Ning Zhiwei's eyes lit up. Gossip, gossip, here I come. "She is so bold. Tell me, who did she have sex with? Why didn't she invite me? I shouldn't have taken a shower if I had known."
"You seem very disappointed." The emperor had a stern face and looked gloomy, as if he was about to suffocate.
"Of course..." Ning Zhiwei glanced at the emperor and immediately changed the subject, "No, if I were there, I would definitely scold her for the emperor. How could she cheat on someone? Is the emperor not young anymore? Is the emperor not handsome enough? Is the emperor not strong enough?"
"Pfft."
"Hahaha."
There was a burst of laughter from the audience, they couldn't help laughing. It was not their fault for being shameless, it was just that Princess Jingning's actions were outrageous but also a little funny.
Well, absolutely not, that’s what they wanted to ask too!
"roll roll roll."
"I'll take my leave." Ning Zhiwei rolled away swiftly and ran away very fast.
Everyone looked at her receding back, feeling envious, jealous and hateful, and they also wanted to run away.
The emperor looked at everyone coldly, "Where are the musicians? Let them continue their performance."
He looked at this, then looked at that, and the people he targeted were in panic. Was he counting the names of the people to be buried with him?
A boring palace banquet finally ended. The emperor returned to his bedroom, threw himself on the bed, and was sweating profusely in pain.
The eunuchs surrounded him, serving him tea and water, and were busy all the time. They also called the director of the hospital to treat him.
The doctor came, but he just used acupuncture to relieve the pain and prescribed some painkillers. There was nothing else he could do.
Seeing the emperor's weak and feeble appearance, the chief eunuch and the chief physician were very panicked.
Only when the emperor is well can they be well. Once the emperor dies, the new emperor will not keep these old ministers.
They know too much.
Being buried with the emperor was their final fate, but they really didn't want to accept that.
When the emperor's pain eased a little, he summoned the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Xiao Linfeng.
"How was the check?"
