C8 The Imperial Consort Looked like a Shrew

Shuiying Palace

As soon as Xu Zhaoning entered the hall, Xu Yingying's teacup was thrown over. Xu Zhaoning dodged it gracefully.

Xu Zhaoning's body became lighter and more agile after the antidote. Although it couldn't compare with her previous life's body, she was still young and had a lot of flexibility. Xu Zhaoning was very satisfied.

"Presumptuous," Xu Yingying's second teacup attacked again, "You actually dare to dodge!"

Xu Zhaoning rolled her eyes. She wasn't a fool. If she didn't avoid such a danger, then it would be useless for her to be a target.

"Everyone in the world has said that the Imperial Consort, Lady Xu, is dignified, gentle, virtuous and virtuous. If the Emperor were to witness the esteemed imperial concubine's side, would he take another step forward with his Shuiying Palace? "

Lili was like a shrew. For a moment, all of Palace Maid in Sophia lowered her head, not daring to even breathe.

Noble Consort Xu's chest heaved violently. The palace maid beside her hurried forward to help her, pushing her away.

In a short period of time, she actually regained her composure. Xu Zhaoning watched the entire process and sighed in her heart. This acting tough was far above Lin Loong, and it was also true that it was not difficult to find a few people in the palace.

"When your mother and Ran'er said that you had changed greatly, I didn't believe it at all. But now it seems that they were right."

Noble Consort Xu, who had regained her calmness, received the teacup from the palace maid with an advantageous posture and sipped the tea.

Xu Zhaoning didn't answer, she only looked indifferently at Noble Consort Xu, anticipating her next performance.

"If the Crown Prince doesn't like you, your marriage won't happen. I already know about what happened in the manor in the past two days. I can understand why you want to vent your frustration after feeling wronged by the manor for all these years. "But there's a limit to everything. You broke Ran'er's finger, and the imperial physician said that if a person can't be saved properly, her finger will most likely be crippled. If word of this got out, it would damage your reputation …"

"If you have something to say, just say it!" Xu Zhaoning dug in her ears and did not feel anything from the Zou's words.

"As long as you agree to break off the engagement, I can help you suppress your mother's anger and give you another good marriage."

"The Imperial Concubine's intelligence network isn't up to standard. Of course, the wedding has to be annulled, but it wasn't the crown prince who suggested it. It was I, Xu Zhaoning."

"Xu Zhaoning, don't go too far!" Noble Consort Xu's face turned cold. How could the Royal Family allow Xu Zhaoning to bring up the matter of annulling the engagement? How could they allow such a thing to happen?

"Then, Imperial Concubine, do you think that I have gone overboard in insisting on the engagement, or is it that His Highness and my beloved Second Sister are secretly going overboard? Or do you think the Emperor and the people of the world are more unreasonable?

As your fiancé, when you have a fiancée, do you really think someone like me has the ability to seduce you? "

"Xu Zhaoning, how dare you!"

Was this really something a girl like her could say!?

Noble Consort Xu made as if to cover her mouth with her hands while Xu Zhaoning stared at Noble Consort Xu with a smile that was not a smile.

"To be honest, I'm very clear on Imperial Concubine's intentions. If you want to grant Xu Yanran and His Highness the crown prince their wish, it is not impossible, but I have to bring up the matter of annulling the engagement. "

Xu Zhaoning was a person who was good at taking sides. Noble Consort Xu didn't really love Xu Yanran much, otherwise she wouldn't have treated Xu Yanran's injuries with a word or two.

What she cared about was to use Xu Yanran to trap Jun Muming, because she only had one princess under her and the crown prince was the most likely person to ascend to the throne. Before she gave birth to her son, the crown prince was her bargaining chip.

"Impossible!" Noble Consort Xu was resolute and resolute.

Xu Zhaoning, on the other hand, looked indifferent. "Is it possible that our empress dowager is talking about it?"

Noble Consort Xu tightly gripped the teacup in her hand as she stared at Xu Zhaoning. Lin Loong's words were ringing in her ears. She said that Xu Zhaoning couldn't stay any longer.

"Men, capture Xu Zhaoning for me!" Noble Consort Xu's voice suddenly turned cold as she pointed her long armor in Xu Zhaoning's direction.

The sound of footsteps rang out as the imperial guards, clad in neat suits of armor, rushed in. The smile on Xu Zhaoning's face slowly disappeared as a silver light flickered between her fingers.

In the nick of time, Eunuch Wang rushed into the hall and whispered into Noble Consort Xu's ear, "Empress Dowager, the empress dowager has returned to the palace. Both the crown prince and the emperor are currently in Kunning Palace.

Noble Consort Xu maliciously looked at Xu Zhaoning, while Xu Zhaoning frankly looked back at her. "If I die today in this Shuiying Palace, perhaps the Emperor will have to bury me according to Crown Princess's specifications."

With Crown Princess's instructions, it meant that even if she died, she, Xu Zhaoning, would still occupy Crown Princess's name. Noble Consort Xu could not help but feel exasperated by this realization.

When Xu Zhaoning saw that she was angered, the smile on her face turned sincere. "If I were the imperial concubine, I would have treated it as if nothing had happened. After all, I couldn't write two words in one go."

With that, Xu Zhaoning took the lead and walked out of the Shuiying Palace. The imperial guards who were originally surrounding her, seeing that Noble Consort Xu did not have any other orders, they made way for her.

"Chenqie greets you, Your Majesty. Greetings to Imperial Mother." After crossing the threshold of Kunning Palace, Noble Consort Xu had long since regained her usual modesty and gentleness, and greeted the empress dowager and the emperor with a soft voice.

"Ying Ying is here. Quick, take a seat." The empress dowager seemed to like Noble Consort Xu very much as she gestured for her to take a seat closest to her.

Noble Consort Xu enjoyed this pampering very much. After she bowed in thanks, she sat down in the seat designated by the empress dowager. Therefore, Xu Zhaoning, who had been following closely behind her, had now entered the eyes of the crowd without anyone noticing.

When faced with so many gazes, a light flickered in Xu Zhaoning's eyes. She recovered her wits in an instant before shrinking back her neck and timidly stepping forward to pay her respects. "This subject's daughter, Xu Zhaoning, greets Your Majesty, Empress Dowager."

Seizing the opportunity to bow, Xu Zhaoning's gaze quickly swept past everyone present. When she met a pair of deep eyes, she almost cried out in surprise.

Si Jingyu!

Her hair was tied up with a black robe, and her facial features were as hard as a statue. If it wasn't for the obvious impatience, Xu Zhaoning would definitely sigh at Young Noble Wushuang's beauty.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhaoning also shook her head, accompanied by a soft sigh. The emperor and the crown prince were very far away from her, so naturally, they couldn't hear her sigh. However, Si Jingyu was sitting on the same seat as her.

Therefore, her regretful sigh fell straight into his ears. Si Jingyu felt that he had been pitied.

Si Jingyu suppressed the throbbing veins in his forehead as he stared at Xu Zhaoning. Black clouds were rolling in his eyes and the impatience and murderous aura between his brows was not concealed.

Xu Zhaoning recalled that she had given him a thousand year dragon whisker root that night and felt an inexplicable sense of guilt. She also shrunk her neck back at the same time.

In Si Jingyu's eyes, Xu Zhaoning was just like thousands of girls in the capital who only feared him.

Ah, yet another brainless person.

"You're Rong Shuyun's daughter?" Jun Haotian asked while sizing up Xu Zhaoningfa at the main seat. Strictly speaking, this should be the first time Jun Haotian saw Xu Zhaoning.

Crown Princess was the future queen of a nation. How could it be proper for her to be so petty?

Xu Zhaoning had always been sensitive. She clearly felt Jun Haotian's dissatisfaction with her.

She shifted her gaze and noticed the deep disdain in Jun Muming's eyes. Xu Zhaoning was amused. Was this a reminder for her acting skills? I'm looking forward to it!
