Since Yan Wuzhan decided to deal with the matter of his feudal fiefdom first, she would help him. In this era where the conditions were backward, a flood was not easy to deal with, so she didn't feel at ease letting him go alone. Speaking of which, she was three years older than him.
"Greetings, Princess Anning ~"
Just as she was thinking about it, Wei Zheng suddenly appeared in front of her. Behind him was the Prime Minister's palanquin. Obviously, he had also just arrived here.
"What is Wei Xiang doing here?"
"I've been looking for you for a long time, and just happened to run into you when I passed by. The emperor said he wanted you to come as well …"
"Royal Uncle wants me to participate in politics? It was Minister Wei's suggestion, right? No, you can go by yourself!
One of them was riding on a horse, one was sitting in a sedan chair, one was a powerful official, and the other was the most popular princess. The two of them started to chat on the street.
Wei Zheng praised her in his heart. This girl was too smart, just from a few words she knew that it was his suggestion. Participating in the West Ridge Nation negotiation was not the emperor's intention, luckily he was already prepared.
"The princess has wronged me. This is an imperial edict. Please have a look."
Wei Zheng took out the note he wanted for the emperor and had the servant pass it to him.
"Alright, he's not afraid that I'll embarrass him. I'll go tomorrow!" Dongfang Ning took the written order and left on her horse.
"Join the negotiation? "What does this have to do with elder sister?" After thinking about it, she decided to return back to her Duwei Restaurant to discuss this with Yan Wuzhan. Right now, it felt really good to have someone to discuss everything she did.
Outside of Duwei Restaurant, Mei Er came over from afar to welcome him: "Mistress, Battle King has returned home. He told you to go with him, right now there isn't a Mistress in the Princess Mansion who wants you to move in …"
Move to Battle King's residence?
He would only say something like that if he was not clear-headed, but he didn't seem to be clear-headed these days.
"Don't I have a place to stay? Go and check if anything big has happened to Battle King's residence. I'm going to sleep. I'm so tired these two days."
He didn't know what tricks those people would play tomorrow. Now that he had half a day of rest, he could take a break.
While she was speaking, a girl wearing ordinary clothes walked over. Although she was dressed in ordinary clothes, she didn't seem like an ordinary girl. She walked in front of Dongfang Ning and bowed. "Princess Anning, our master invites you to have a chat with him."
"Who is your master? Do I know him? Why are you looking for me? Where is he?"
"The princess recognizes you. She's on the third floor, so may I ask you to move in?" The woman answered carefully, her tone respectful.
He lived on the third floor, but he still knew her …
Since this was the main street and she was inviting people, then the person who wanted to see her was definitely not the Lu brother. Who would be waiting for her here and even know that she would definitely come?
"Lead the way!"
"Master!"
No matter how strong Dongfang Ning was, she was still a child that had yet to understand. Mei Er was anxious and quickly pulled her over. In their eyes, no matter how much stronger Dongfang Ning was, she was still a child that had yet to understand.
"Alright, you follow me. Let's go!"
Upon hearing that she was to follow, Mei Er felt more at ease. She no longer obstructed her, and the three of them walked towards the Duwei Restaurant.
The third floor of Duwei Restaurant was very elegant. This was a guest room designed by Dongfang Ning, and after walking up the stairs, there was a reception desk in the middle. The attendants weren't guarding the stairs, making it convenient for guests who wanted to go in and out of the guest rooms that they didn't want to see.
Of course, no one could see the waiter with this design, but it was easier for the waiter to steal the customer's information.
Dongfang Ning took a look: Room 3111. This was the largest room, located at the corner.
This was a room that the mysterious man had decided on three days ago, but no one had checked into it ever since. She even made people pay special attention to this room, but who would have thought that the person who lived here today was actually looking for her?
"Princess, please."
Dongfang Ning followed him into the guest room, which was also designed by her. The layout of the two rooms were similar to that of the modern hotel. Outside was a small hall with a bed inside.
There was already a person sitting in the hall, and it was a woman dressed in ordinary clothes.
Dongfang Ning was shocked when she realised why she was looking for her. The person in front of her was the empress, Huangfu Feixue.
"An Ran greets Imperial Aunt …" She suddenly recalled that her aunty seemed to be very bad. Could she be the same?
"Ning'er, come take a seat. I came to see you today to thank you for saving Qi Meng's life."
Huangfu Feixue had a kind expression on her face. After explaining the reason for her visit and seeing that she still had a confused expression on her face, she said,
"Sit down first. Where did you go to play? Are you tired?"
Today, Huangfu Feixue wore ordinary clothes. She had been in charge of the harem for many years, but no matter how ordinary her attire was, she still retained her noble aura. She did not put on any airs. Instead, she greeted Dongfang Ning with a kind tone.
"Aunt, it's only right that I save Qi Meng. Under those circumstances, anyone who can save her will save her. There's no need to thank me. Just tell me what's the matter?"
Dongfang Ning liked to be straightforward, and now she didn't know why she was looking for him. The matter of her Huangfu Family having been expropriated had already passed so long, so even if he had to thank her, he shouldn't have waited until now to come.
"Ning'er, I heard that your good friend Wei Qingxian was hurt by someone, so the Emperor didn't bring up the matter of your marriage to the Wei Family anymore. I knew that you and Wei Qingxian were very close, so I wanted to ask if she … Yes or No
"Imperial Aunt, is she something? It's not like she's anything. What exactly do you want to say?"
Dongfang Ning sat on the other side, not knowing what she meant.
"Ning'er, you're still young. There are some things I can't explain to you clearly. Wuyou told me a few days ago that he wanted to marry that girl Qing Xian. However, the emperor didn't mention anything about it. It was said that it was related to the fire you set …"
The empress also didn't say what she wanted to ask. Right now, she needed to marry Wei Family in order to stabilize the crown prince's position, but no one could help her. The Huangfu Family had already fallen, and no one could tell her where they moved to.
In the past, her son didn't like marriage, but now that her Eastern Palace was in such a terrible situation, no matter if Wei Qingxian was innocent or not, she still had to fight for her son. Dongfang Ning was the person who helped her the most.
"You have to find her or her mother to ask her about this. As her good friend, I have no way of persuading her to marry into the imperial family. The life of the imperial family isn't lived by anyone …"
"Master, have some tea!"
Heavens, Mei Er was about to faint. You're still saying such words in front of an empress, the first part is still fine, but what's the rest of it? How can you make an empress put her face back?
"Mei Er, your tea is about to burn me!"
