"Is what your majesty said true?"

Although Mu Ni's tone was gentle, it contained endless sadness.

Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, as if they would burst out at any time.

Wei Ming nodded and said firmly: "Of course, I will use my actions to prove my sincerity. No matter how much effort I have to put in, I will do it!"

Hearing Wei Ming's words, a barely perceptible look of relief flashed across Mu Ni's face, but she quickly returned to her previous sad expression.

She bit her lips lightly and said slowly, "Then your majesty, please take Ni'er into the harem... Ni'er doesn't ask for anything else, but only a status that allows me to stand beside your majesty with dignity and accompany you..."

"Even if it's just to be one of the many concubines... as long as I can stand beside His Majesty sometimes..."

Having said this, Mu Ni could no longer suppress the surging emotions in her heart. Tears burst out of her eyes like a dam breaking, and slid down her beautiful face.

Her delicate body trembled slightly, like a flower swaying in the wind, so adorable.

Wei Ming stared at Mu Ni's eyes, which were filled with tears and as misty as autumn water, and a ripple appeared in his heart.

He couldn't bear to see his beloved cry, so he quickly hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Okay, I promise you."

Mu Ni smiled gently, with excitement in her eyes that was hard to conceal.

When Wei Ming heard Mu Ni's request, he was indeed very surprised at first.

However, on second thought, he felt that all this was reasonable.

After all, Mu Ni was the first woman in his life. Over the years, she had been silently by his side, but had never had a formal status.

Once, in order to gain the support of the Xie family, Wei Ming had to work hard to create the image of a cold and aloof prince.

Even after he moved out of the palace and built his own mansion, there had never been any young and beautiful maids in his residence; and in the backyard, there was not even a maidservant.

And his meeting with Mu Ni was just a beautiful coincidence.

Ever since that encounter, Wei Ming's heart was deeply attracted to Mu Ni and he fell in love with her uncontrollably.

That night of deep love and difficulty in controlling oneself was also a first night of special significance to Wei Ming.

But who could have expected that such a secret matter would be discovered so quickly by the Empress Dowager, who was still a concubine at the time.

From then on, Mu Ni was forced to stay with the Queen Mother. The two were separated from each other and suffered from the pain of missing each other.

Wei Ming had been on the throne for three years, but he did not stay in the harem very often and always slept in his own bedroom.

The Queen Mother arranged for them to meet every ten days. After they made love for a brief moment, Mu Ni returned to the Cining Palace.

After Lu Daixi entered the palace, most people thought that Wei Ming was extremely fond of her.

She entered the harem no more than ten times a month, and most of the time she stayed overnight in Lu Daixi's palace.

But no one knew that after Wei Ming came here, he did not let Lu Daixi sleep with him many times, using the excuse that her health needed recuperation, and they seldom consummated the marriage.

Lu Daixi was naturally a person who cared a lot about his reputation, so he would not let anyone in his palace spread such matters.

As for the Queen Mother Xie Chenning's Kunning Palace, Wei Ming went there even less often. Every time he went there, he would just use drugs to make her unconscious, and then he would lie on the bed and sleep.

He can remain chaste for Mu Ni.

On the other side, Xie Chenning was called by the Queen Mother to the Cining Palace for dinner.

In the main hall, the queen mother was sitting behind. She was already in her forties but was well maintained. If you didn’t look closely at the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, you couldn’t tell her age at all.

She was wearing a dark blue palace dress, which made her look dignified and elegant, and her smile was even more gentle, but unfortunately it was all a disguise.

"The Queen is here—!"

Following the report, the Queen Mother slowly raised her head.

Xie Chenning was seen walking towards her slowly in a pink palace dress. The color of the dress was bright yet elegant, which perfectly set off her snow-white skin and made her temperament even more extraordinary.

Especially her peach blossom eyes, which are like a pool of crystal clear water, with all kinds of charm flowing in the rippling waves.

The Queen Mother had seen a lot in the inner court of the palace, and had seen many beauties of all kinds, but none of them had ever been as stunning and unforgettable as Xie Chenning.

Comparing her with those ladies who are usually known for their charming and beautiful appearance, she will instantly pale in comparison.

"Queen Mother."

Xie Chenning walked lightly to the front of the empress dowager, bowed slightly, and just casually saluted, which was considered a greeting.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but frown, and disgust flashed across her eyes, but she still spoke with concern.

"Empress, are you feeling well? I heard that the Emperor is still young and energetic, so it's inevitable that he may be a little unrestrained when doing things at night. You must take good care of yourself."

"..."

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Xie Chenning was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond, and could only remain silent.

Xie Chenning lowered his head and pretended to be shy.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother sighed softly and said, "Queen, you are the Emperor's legitimate wife. So you must also remember that you are still a member of the royal family, and you should help the Emperor more."

Xie Chenning didn't say anything, just nodded.

"I already know about your quarrel with the emperor this morning, but it's because he loves you too much. You should understand him."

"Ah."

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked carefully from head to toe at the elegant, dignified and beautiful woman in front of her - Xie Chenning.

She is the current queen, and her family background is extraordinary and distinguished.

As everyone knows, the Xie family is a famous family of military generals. They have been loyal and brave for generations and have made great contributions to the court. However, Xie Feisi, the father of Xie Chenning, actually married Jiang Ruoxue, who came from a scholarly family.

The Jiang family behind them is not simple either. Jiang Ruoxue's grandfather is a famous scholar with great knowledge and many students all over the world. Almost half of the officials in the court are his students.

Although the Jiang family has gradually faded out of officialdom, their influence and voice in the court have never weakened.

Since Xie Chenning entered the palace, he has always been extremely low-key and humble. He does not seem to be enthusiastic about the affairs of the harem and rarely interferes in management.

Not to mention the concubines in the harem, even the empress dowager could hardly see the queen a few times throughout the year.

But who could have expected this? Just when Wei Ming was about to suppress the Xie family, Xie Chenning unexpectedly reacted quickly and caught them off guard.

Such behavior makes it hard not to be suspicious.

Perhaps her previous low-keyness was just a clever disguise.

But today, when the Queen Mother saw Xie Chenning's well-behaved appearance, she felt that she was worrying too much.
