Chapter 162 Stop pretending
Ning Yi stepped into Kunning Palace and bowed to the Queen: "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen."
The queen, sitting among the guests, had a blank expression on her face. Her calm expression was accompanied by dissatisfaction in her eyes.
She didn't ask Ning Yi to stand up, but instead asked calmly: "Sixth Brother, is it because your mother died early and no one taught you the rules of the palace?"
"Or maybe you've been away from the palace for so long, been so wild outside, that you've forgotten?"
Queen Dongfang was looking for trouble when she spoke this way. She was deliberately trying to suppress Ning Yi.
Ning Yi frowned slightly, and could hear the Queen's meaning in her words.
He asked, "Please give me some instructions, Queen."
No matter what, this is the queen of the current dynasty.
Legally speaking, this person's status is second only to Emperor Wu.
Except for Emperor Wu, everyone else had to bow to her when they saw her. She was the legitimate wife of Emperor Wu in the true sense and the person in charge in the palace.
The Queen remained silent. An old maidservant beside her suddenly raised her voice coldly, "Sixth Prince, why don't you kneel before the Queen?"
"Are you dissatisfied with the Empress and don't know the etiquette?"
This is a random accusation. If you say it nonsense, it is very likely that someone will find fault with you.
Legally, Ning Yi has to call the Queen Mother.
Ning Yi had no choice but to kneel down again: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Queen. May your Highness live a thousand years."
This is enough face.
But the Queen Mother did not let him stand up. She just took the tea from the old palace maid and drank it slowly and lightly.
She was very graceful and elegant. Ning Yi was moved when he saw her like this. She was indeed the most beautiful woman in Wu State.
When Emperor Wu wanted to take a queen, several noble families recommended their legitimate daughters.
Once the legitimate daughter of one's own family becomes the queen, the entire family will make a great leap forward.
Because Dongfang Qing was so beautiful, she was favored by the 40-year-old Emperor Wu, and the 16-year-old girl became the queen.
It also made the Dongfang family become the first family among the aristocratic families.
Dongfang Qing finished her drink before continuing calmly, "Sixth Brother, I heard that you were very arrogant and domineering outside the palace."
Ning Yi frowned. He was not the sixth prince of the past.
The former Sixth Prince was very powerful in the outside world, but he was very timid when facing those with higher status than him.
Ning Yi calmly asked, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely false. I always follow the rules when I'm out there."
"You still dare to quibble." The Empress slammed the table and said, "Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"You actually arrested my nephew without permission. How dare you! Release him immediately, or else..."
"What else?" Ning Yi no longer cared about the Queen's face. He simply stood up and sneered, "The Queen wants to punish me severely?"
Dongfang Qing was surprised to see that Lao Liu was talking to her like that.
In this palace, who dares not to give her face?
Even the concubines who had fought against each other fiercely in the past had to pay their respects to her for the sake of face.
What's more, he is a prince.
Besides, she was the queen and did not need to be buried alive with the emperor. She had never paid much attention to the second prince's fight for the throne.
Because no matter who becomes emperor, he must make her the empress dowager.
By then, she will still be the number one person in the palace, and even the future emperor will have to bow and call her empress dowager when he sees her.
"Sixth Brother, you dare to disrespect me? Teach him a lesson."
Anger erupted from the Queen's beautiful eyes as she glared at Ning Yi angrily.
The old palace maid next to her walked over, twisting her thick waist, with excitement flashing in her eyes.
It must be very satisfying to beat the prince.
He just raised his hand to hit Ning Yi in the face.
But Ning Yi grabbed his wrist with one hand.
The old maid gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Sixth Prince, I represent the Empress. If you dare..."
"You're looking for death." Ning Yi slapped her in the face.
The old palace maid lay on the ground screaming, and then she was kicked again.
The old palace maid screamed for help.
The queen was furious. She stood up and shouted, "Sixth Brother, you are so bold! Someone come here!"
Suddenly several guards came in from outside, they had been prepared long ago.
The Queen pointed at Ning Yi and said, "Catch him for me."
Several guards drew their swords and pointed them at Ning Yi, ready to attack.
Ning Yi glanced at them coldly and said in a dignified manner, "Who dares to move?"
"Do you all want to rebel?"
The guards were only brought in temporarily, and they did not dare to touch the prince at will.
But the Queen is above everyone else, and she has enough power: "Sixth Brother, this is Kunning Palace. As the Queen, I can naturally teach you a lesson."
"Catch him and give him a few dozen lashes first."
"Is that so." Ning Yi sneered: "Empress, you can teach this prince a lesson if you want."
"In that case, I will go directly to my father to ask for an explanation."
"I want to ask my father, the Empress, that because of Dongfang You, who is a bastard with irrefutable evidence, the Empress wants to severely punish me. Will he do anything about it?"
After saying that, he turned around and walked away, yelling at the guards behind him: "Get out of the way."
It looked like he really wanted to go to Emperor Wu to complain, so how could the guards stop him?
But the queen was frightened.
She didn't want Ning Yi to really go to Emperor Wu to complain.
The reason why Ning Yi was called here was to use the queen's status to threaten him and make him release his nephew.
I believe that the identity of a queen is enough to deal with a prince.
But Lao Liu was so bold as to not care about anything, so she had to be cautious.
Based on her understanding of the old man Wu Huang, if he knew what her nephew had done, he would be beheaded at best, or his whole family would be in trouble.
"Wait." Dongfang Qing immediately called Ning Yi.
Ning Yi stopped, turned around and said with a smile: "Why, Queen, do you want to go with me to see my father?"
Go see shit! The Queen was very dissatisfied and couldn't stand Ning Yi's sarcasm, but she had to endure it.
He simply asked, "Sixth Brother, I won't make things difficult for you. Just let my nephew go, and everything will be fine."
Hearing the queen's tone weaken, Ning Yi knew that the queen was no longer pretending.
"Let him go, fine." Ning Yi said with a smile, "But, this prince has something to say to the Queen alone."
"these people……"
Ning Yi looked around.
The Queen Mother had no choice but to order: "Everyone go down."
A group of guards left.
Ning Yi even kicked the old maid on the ground, who was in sore pain all over, and said, "Old thing, get out now."
The old palace maid was so upset that she dared not act arrogant anymore.
Otherwise, the prince's beatings would be in vain.
The queen was too lazy to care about these things. To her, these servants were just a group of servants.
When everyone left, Ning Yi closed the palace door and walked towards the queen.
The two were only one step apart. Ning Yi looked at the person in front of him, who was wearing a rich phoenix robe and a phoenix hairpin on his head.
She has a face as rosy as a peach, and is a woman in her thirties with very fair skin.
If I said I was only in my twenties, no one would doubt it.
Her beauty is so charming that even Yang Ziqin, who is known as the most beautiful woman in Beijing, is not as good as her.
What's more, women in their thirties have a mature side, just like a ripe peach.
