Chapter 345 I won't go out and cause them trouble
There was really no other way. Mrs. Luo sighed helplessly and had to get on the carriage and go back dejectedly.
But the old woman did not lie. Princess Ning was taken to the palace by Concubine Jing early this morning.
In Concubine Jing's palace.
"Sister-in-law, there's no need to be so polite. Tell me what happened at the Third Brother's house yesterday."
After dismissing all the palace maids and maids, Concubine Jing hurriedly supported Princess Ning, who was about to greet her, and helped her sit on a soft chair beside her.
"In the early years, we just thought that our mother was just making random suspicions, but now the truth has come out, and we have wrongly blamed our mother."
Concubine Jing sighed. Although she got along very well with Xu Jinran, the prerequisite for this was that he was her biological brother.
Now the facts have proved that Xu Jinran is not only an outsider, but also the person who caused Xu Qinghe to suffer for so many years.
As for Xu Jinran, he was also a little baby who knew nothing at the beginning. He was also very innocent, and Concubine Jing had no way to speak for him.
If it weren't for the fact that he was unable to make his own decisions at the beginning, it probably wouldn't have been just a simple matter of being kicked out of Prince Ning's Mansion.
"Maybe it's the blessing of our ancestors in the underworld. Otherwise, how could the two families, who are thousands of miles apart, meet by chance? You didn't see how fat the two children in the third family are..."
Princess Ning sighed and smiled as she recounted what happened at the Xu family's full moon banquet yesterday. Finally, she lowered her voice and told Princess Jing what Xu Jinren had found.
Although Xu Jinren said in the letter not to tell outsiders about his return, Concubine Jing was his sister and certainly not an outsider.
"My...brother, is he back safely?"
Upon hearing the news, Concubine Jing immediately covered her mouth and started crying excitedly.
Seeing the tears falling down her delicately made-up face, Princess Ning quickly took out a handkerchief and gently wiped them for her.
"Stop crying, it's a good thing that your eldest brother is back. Now that the third brother and his family are back, our Ning Palace has safely survived this disaster. But you are alone in the palace, so you must take good care of yourself."
Princess Ning patted Princess Jing on the back and gently let her lean on her shoulder.
The family seemed to be getting better and better, but the girl was suffering. She wasted her best years in this cold harem.
Although Concubine Jing is already in her thirties, the emperor dotes on her because she has not given birth to any children in these years. So overall, she is still well maintained and looks no different from a girl in her early twenties. Instead, she exudes a mature charm all over her body.
"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. I feel relieved that everything is fine at home."
Concubine Jing wiped away her tears and forced an ugly smile.
"I am now used to living in the palace. My brothers from my mother's family are capable and valued by His Majesty, so others dare not bully me easily."
She smiled self-deprecatingly. Although she was very regretful that she had no offspring, it was precisely because of this that she would not be drawn into the vortex of the fight for the throne. On the contrary, no matter who came to the throne in the future, they would have to be polite to her.
Princess Ning also understood this truth, so she sighed and said soothingly:
"Take good care of yourself. In the future...if there is a chance, your nephew will definitely take you out to live with you in your old age."
It is a tradition to select girls from military families to enter the palace to accompany the emperor.
And everyone knows that she has been with the emperor for all these years and the reason why she has never been pregnant is also known to everyone.
To be honest, not allowing Concubine Jing to get pregnant and give birth to a child was actually a form of protection for her by the Emperor.
"I won't go out and cause trouble for them..."
When Concubine Jing heard about going out to live in retirement, her eyes were filled with longing. But when she thought about the fact that by that time, she would be already very old and her family members would have left one after another, even though her nephews were also her relatives, they also had their own lives to lead. Why should she keep an old ancestor who could not help her in any way at home to worship?
Anyway, she has lived in the palace for most of her life, so she might as well stay here and eat without fighting. Even if she dies in the future, she won't have to worry about her funeral. No matter who becomes the new emperor, they have to help her arrange her funeral, even if it's just for face.
"Look at us, why are we talking about this now? We'll talk about the future later. Today I have something good to give you..."
Princess Ning quickly patted her gently, then mysteriously took out a few very small bottles, which were the detoxification pills that Cui distributed to everyone yesterday.
Unlike the others, who were given one each, only a few people from Prince Ning's Mansion were allowed to take the fruits from the basket themselves.
Cui put such good stuff directly into an ordinary basket and distributed it to everyone. There was still a lot left.
Since Cui allowed them to take it, Princess Ning and the Second Lady did not hide anything and said directly that they wanted to take some back to give to their parents and brothers in their natal family in case of emergency.
Because their families also sent maids to bring gifts, Cui had already prepared one.
After hearing this, Cui was no longer stingy and told them to just take more. It would be great whether they kept it as gifts or for other purposes.
These are treasures that outsiders cannot buy even with money, but for Cui, it is of no effort at all. The medicinal materials are also very common, but the effects are indeed very good.
So Princess Ning really pretended to be very nice, and carried it all the way back home as if it were a treasure. She had originally decided to send her back to her parents' home in person, but someone from the palace came to pick her up.
"Here are the detoxification pills. Each small bottle contains one..."
She told Concubine Jing about what happened yesterday, and told her not to forget to carry a copy with her at all times, as it might save her life at a critical moment.
"I didn't expect that the third brother's wife would be so capable. To be honest, the third brother can be said to have had a blessing in disguise."
Concubine Jing stroked the small bottle in her hand and said with great emotion.
She had already thought about it. She would put it in a purse and carry it with her wherever she went. As for the rest, of course she would find a place to hide it and would not give it to anyone.
Naturally, she completely believed the words of her sister-in-law, Princess Ning.
Not to mention that they have been getting along very well with each other over the years, there is also a very practical truth.
They were like grasshoppers tied tightly together on the same rope. If anything happened to her, it would not benefit Prince Ning's Mansion at all.
