After bidding farewell to the Empress Dowager, Shen Youxia was led by the palace maid at a steady pace towards Ning Taifei's Yi'an Palace. Dongzhi followed closely behind her, but Mo Yi couldn't openly appear in the inner palace, so he hid himself in the shadows, being an undercover guard made this task not too difficult for him.
"Miss, don't eat the thing from Lady Ning's place."
Shen Youxia smiled and nodded, if Ning Taifei really wanted her to eat something, what could she use to refuse, would she have to make a big fuss in Yi'an Palace?
When Shen Youxia entered Yi'an Palace, there was already a girl sitting beside Ning Taifei, smiling sweetly.
"I have seen Her Highness the Princess."
Shen Youxia respectfully made a bow and knelt down on the ground in a neat and tidy manner.
"Is summer here again? Get up quickly, your body is not well yet, how can you kneel down?" Empress Ning said so, but slowly and steadily got up from her seat and walked towards Shen Youxia. As for Shen Youxia, she naturally couldn't get up, but continued to kneel on the ground, maintaining her kneeling posture until Empress Ning helped her up. "After all, your injury is also because of me. If it weren't for your desperate rescue, I don't know if I would still be in this world now."
"The princess is in a serious condition, ensuring your safety is what Rui Wang Fu should do and also Xia's responsibility."
This kind of insincere socializing was really annoying to Shen Yuxia, but she had no choice. In her position, she had to do everything that was required of her well, so that even if she left in the future, she could leave a good reputation for herself.
"Come," said Ning Taifei, stretching out her hand to the girl beside her. The girl walked over and took hold of Ning Taifei's hand. "This is Ning Xiner, a girl from my maternal family's Ning Guo Gong Fu. She's an exceptionally good girl, and in Xiyang City, she's also quite renowned."
When Shen Youxia heard the name Ning Xiang'er, she suddenly remembered that this was the legitimate second daughter of the Ning Guo Gongfu, who had a reputation for being well-versed in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. It was said that her embroidery skills were also exceptional. In those days, many people in Xiyang City would often compare Ning Xiang'er with Shen Youxia, lamenting why the wise king had married Shen Youxia, the foolish legitimate daughter of the Ding Guo Houfu, instead of Ning Xiang'er.
In fact, at this time last year, she had never seen Ning Xiang'er. It was because neither of them often attended the gatherings held by the aristocratic families in Xiyang City. Occasionally, when Ning Xiang'er did attend poetry and flower parties, Shen Youxia would get annoyed and fall asleep. Shen Youxia's favorite activities were playing polo and horse racing, but Ning Xiang'er had never participated in any of these events.
As for the activities in the palace, the two people rarely met until later when Ning Xiang'er married An Yi Han. It wasn't until then that they could be said to have really seen each other. However, at that time, Ning Xiang'er's eyes were filled with unshed sorrow, and Shen You Xia thought that Ning Xiang'er was always a delicate beauty. Now, looking at the sunny and bright Ning Xiang'er, she finally understood that when Ning Xiang'er married An Yi Han back then, she must have been extremely unhappy.
However, Shen Youxia still didn't know that Ning Xier was actually from the maternal family of Empress Ning. She couldn't help but feel curious about the inside story of An Yichuan marrying Ning Xier back then.
"My daughter has seen Princess Wang."
Ning Xier's eyes were filled with a smile, and her delicate little face made people want to pinch it.
"Get up, you're a bit younger than me, just call me sister," Shen Youxia looked at Ning Xiang'er, thinking of Ning Xiang'er's future fate, her heart ached, but she still smiled at Empress Ning, "The young lady from the Ning family is really lovely, it's truly enviable."
