Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 476: Are you planning to commit fraud?

The woman was dressed in red and wore a veil to cover her face. She was followed by two followers.

It was Chinese New Year and there were many people wearing bright red clothes on the street, so it didn't stand out.

What caught the two men's attention was that the woman's walking posture was a bit awkward. Sometimes she took small steps, and sometimes she walked with brisk steps. It was just weird.

Ning Zhiwei took a few glances and said, "It's like this person is wearing stolen clothes and shoes, pretending to be someone else."

Rong Jing smiled slightly, "A bit like an actor."

The guard on horseback guarding the carriage asked softly, "Master, shall we go to the front yard or the back yard? Or shall we enter your house directly through the side door?"

The front yard is specially used for hosting banquets and only entertains guests attending the banquet. The scenery is more beautiful and quieter.

You can enter the backyard by buying a ticket. It is more lively and has a more commercial atmosphere. You can try the food that the empress has eaten and see the path that the empress has walked.

The side door leads to the place where Ning Zhiwei lived in the past. It is specially fenced off, sealed all year round, and guarded by special people.

After all, she is now an emperor, and it is impossible for her to let others live in the house where she lived.

It is also the most beautiful place in Furong Garden, consisting of several separate courtyards and a flower garden full of exotic flowers and plants.

There is also a three-story building for viewing the scenery, which is beautifully decorated.

Ning Zhiwei thought for a moment and said, "Enter through the side door."

The guards secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as it would be difficult to control so many people.

Ning Zhiwei looked up again and saw the woman in red entering the front yard. Was she the guest of today's banquet?

He is not an important person. Ning Zhiwei turned around and forgot about it.

The group quietly entered Furong Garden from the side door and went directly to the small building for viewing the scenery.

Standing on the third floor, no matter which angle you look at it, it is a beautiful picture.

By the window, the charcoal fire in the red stove was crackling, the teapot was bubbling, and the burnt aroma of peanuts and red dates spread, bringing warmth and comfort.

Rong Jing peeled off the shells of a few peanuts and handed them to Ning Zhiwei. "Although Bai Zhanyang has a mental problem, the plants he brought back from the Western Regions are good. These peanuts are very fragrant."

If Bai Zhanyang didn't cause trouble and quietly did things that were beneficial to the country, would Ning Zhiwei still treat him unfairly?

Ultimately, it's too greedy.

At the beginning, Bai Zhanyang had his eyes on Ning Zhiwei, but when he realized he couldn't reach her, he started to think of other evil ideas.

Ning Zhiwei tasted it and it tasted really good, with a bit of fat. Hmm, she had an idea, "Do you think this can be used to make oil? If so, the people will have another way to get oil."

It is difficult for ordinary people to have enough to eat, let alone eat well, and we have to find ways to improve it bit by bit.

Rong Jing looked at the woman who was always thinking about government affairs and smiled helplessly, "Let someone try."

Ning Zhiwei looked downstairs. Furong Garden was decorated in red and green and with colorful lights. Today was the birthday of the old lady of the Huo family. There were many guests and it was extremely lively.

"I didn't expect that Mrs. Huo's birthday banquet would be so grand and lively."

Rong Jing glanced at it calmly and said, "This is also the first banquet held by the Huo family in the capital, announcing that the Huo family has officially entered this circle."

Huo Shaokang was the commander-in-chief of the campaign to the southwest, Ning Dongsheng and Chen Shien were his deputy generals, and they successfully incorporated the southwest into Dayong's territory.

Not long ago they returned from the southwest, becoming the most sought-after and most popular nobles.

Everyone knows that once the battles on the northwest and northeast fronts are over, it will be time to confer titles together.

There will definitely be a result before the Emperor's wedding.

The emperor is famous for his magnanimity and will not treat his meritorious officials unfairly.

Neither of them had any intention of joining in the fun. There were too many people and it would be pointless. It would be better to just quietly enjoy the scenery, drink tea and eat.

Rong Jing wished that the two of them could be alone and no one should disturb them.

But, it is destined not to happen.

Ning Zhiwei took a sip of tea from the cup and looked around casually, "Hey, is there something wrong?"

The banquet in the front yard suddenly became chaotic and the atmosphere seemed very tense.

She asked the Jinyiwei to investigate, and soon the Jinyiwei came back.

"The envoy from Gaoli who came to celebrate the birthday was poisoned at the banquet and is in danger of death. The suspect has not been found yet, and the Huo family is going crazy with anxiety."

This is a lot of information. Gao Liguo came to celebrate Old Madam Huo's birthday, but was poisoned again.

If he died at the birthday party, the Huo family would be in trouble.

The two looked at each other and something seemed to be wrong.

Ning Zhiwei stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."

It was freezing outside, and Rong Jing was worried, so he handed her a small hand warmer.

Ning Zhiwei was not cold at all, but Rong Jing felt that she was cold and had to wrap her up like a bear, covering her tightly.

Ning Zhiwei's mouth twitched. She was a martial artist and had a strong body, better than that of most men.

Never mind, this is what he meant.

In the front yard, Mrs. Huo was flattered by the guests and was very proud and smiling.

She was originally a peasant girl from the northwest. By chance, she married a soldier. The soldier was very capable and gave birth to an even more capable son, who led the whole family to move forward.

Now that her son has returned triumphantly, she is about to move up another level. People around her are praising her and she is becoming flattered.

Today was the most glorious day of her life. All the important people in the city came to celebrate her birthday. Even the envoys from Gaoli Kingdom came and presented her with a rare coral tree as a birthday gift. She couldn't let it go and liked it more and more the more she looked at it.

"Son, if the envoy has any difficult matter to deal with, you can help him."

Huo Shaokang looked helpless, "Mother, who dares to interfere in the affairs between these two countries? The emperor is hot-tempered and cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes."

Old Madam Huo had nothing but respect for the empress and dared not complain at all. The empress had never treated her troops badly and was also very caring towards the soldiers' families.

If it weren't for the empress's support, Huo Shaokang wouldn't have been promoted step by step and even been granted a title.

"He said he was willing to give me a set of red coral jewelry. He said it was dazzling and there was only one set in the world. It was a national treasure of their country. I wanted to leave it to Xian'er as a dowry."

Speaking of Xian'er, she couldn't help but sigh softly.

Huo Shaokang's expression darkened, and his tone became lighter, "Do you think it is normal to give the national treasure of another country to the old mother of an official instead of the emperor?"

Madam Huo rolled her eyes at him in anger, "I'm not stupid. Do you really believe that it is a national treasure after what he said? I don't believe it. Don't be so honest. If you can lie, just lie a little."

Huo Shaokang: ...So you are planning to cheat?!

Mrs. Huo felt a little guilty when her son looked at her. "I'm not lying to my own family. You know that Xian'er's marriage is not going well. I just prepared a little more dowry for Xian'er so that she can have more confidence to gain a foothold in her husband's family."

She owed this daughter the most and just wanted to make it up to her.

"By the way, have you hinted to your subordinate? Xian'er, you don't like anyone else but him. What a sin."

Huo Shaokang frowned, "Mom, Chen Shien is good in every way, but he is a married man. We can't separate the couple. If we do that, people will criticize us."

Speak of Cao Cao, and he will appear. Not only did Chen Shien come himself, he also brought a woman with him.
