Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 499: Saving is a favor, not saving is a duty

On the wedding night, with beautiful scenery and beautiful sceneries, red candles flicker all night long.

At noon, the person on the bed moaned and wanted to turn over, but found that he could not move. He opened his eyes with difficulty and met a pair of smiling eyes.

"Awake?" The man smiled, his arms wrapped around her slender waist, trapping her in his arms.

Ning Zhiwei finally came to her senses, "Morning, husband."

The man's eyes were filled with smiles. "Good morning, my Lord. Go to sleep a little longer."

Ning Zhiwei didn't sleep much last night because he pestered her. Her back and waist ached, her eyelids kept drooping, and she was very sleepy, but her stomach growled, "I'm hungry."

Rong Jing got out of bed, casually put on some clothes, and carried her to the bathroom next door to wash up.

The two of them struggled for a long time before coming out. Rong Jing brought food, half-holding her in one hand and feeding her.

"Are you still going to the hot spring resort?"

Ning Zhiwei, who had just been drowsy, suddenly became energetic, "Let's go! It's a rare day off for me!"

After the wedding, they stopped attending court for three days and went to the Royal Hot Spring Villa outside the city. They didn't see anyone and quietly enjoyed their time alone.

Everyone was tactful and no one bothered them.

The emperor's wedding was celebrated by the whole nation, and a general amnesty was declared. Taxes were also exempted for half a year, and the people were extremely happy.

The streets were bustling with people, the hawkers' cries were incessant, every store door was crowded with people, and the children's laughter made the place very lively.

Ning Ba walked on the street, his eyes fell on the faces of those innocent children, they were smiling happily.

"The capital has changed a lot. It has become full of vitality, and people are smiling more."

Ning Qi said with pride, "It's Xiao Wu's credit. She is a good fighter and even better at governing the country. When she was in the northwest, she turned it into the Jiangnan outside the Great Wall."

Before, the two brothers met again after the disaster, hugged each other and cried bitterly, crying for their dead relatives and their past experiences.

Ning Ba had many of his missing memories awakened, and his mood became increasingly heavy, and he was unhappy the entire day.

Seeing this, Ning Qi pulled him out and took him for a walk on the streets to feel the world.

Ning Ba gently reminded, "Don't call her Xiao Wu anymore. She is already the emperor. Show her more respect and don't give her any chance to be criticized."

Ning Qi didn't care at all, "She won't care about these."

Ning Ba felt helpless when he saw his careless seventh brother. Although he was the older brother, he had always been more calm and took care of them more like an elder brother.

"She doesn't care, but what about others? Don't cause her trouble."

Ning Qi was silent. "When I was little, I looked forward to growing up. But when I grew up, I realized that childhood was still the best."

He was a more cheerful person. Just after he finished expressing his feelings, he turned around and saw a familiar street shop. He was shocked. "I didn't expect this wonton shop is still open. Let's go and try it."

Looking at the heartless Seventh Brother, Ning Ba rubbed his eyebrows. It really makes him worry.

He needs a woman by his side who can give him advice from time to time.

The two entered a wonton shop, which was run by an elderly couple. The old lady made the wontons while the old man boiled them, and the couple worked in perfect harmony.

The wontons were served quickly. Ning Qi took a bite and sighed softly, "It still tastes the same. It hasn't changed at all."

Ning Ba couldn't help but ask, "Seventh Brother, how do you think about your marriage?"

Ning Qi was silent. What happened before still left him with a huge psychological shadow. Everyone said they loved him, but did shameful things that embarrassed him.

"Not in a hurry."

The emperor was not anxious, but the eunuch was. Ning Ba was anxious for him, "You are now a duke, and your family needs a mistress."

Ning Qi thought about it seriously, "I plan to ask the emperor to help me get married, and ask her to help me choose. I don't trust the judgment of the women in my family."

"I can't trust my own judgment any more."

Ning Ba's mouth twitched, "Do you have any favorites?"

"No." For Ning Qi, who had experienced two failed marriages, love was not important; what was important was suitability.

"But you, why do I feel like you get along weirdly with your sister-in-law?"

The girl wants to stick with him all the time, but the boy is indifferent and no one knows what he is thinking.

Ning Ba sighed silently, every family has its own problems.

"With two children here, we won't be separated."

He would not let his child suffer any grievance or hardship, as he knew too well the pain of being without a mother.

Ning Qi opened his mouth but swallowed the words back. Even if they were as close as brothers, it was not convenient for him to interfere in each other's family affairs.

A crisp voice rang out, "Grandma, I want a bowl of wontons."

When the old woman saw Cui Yanxi, she couldn't help but smile, "It's Miss Cui, I'll cook you a bowl of wontons, it will be ready soon, please find a place to sit first."

"Is your leg better?"

"Much better. Thank you Miss Cui for the ointment. It's very effective."

She had rheumatism before and met this kind girl, who specially gave her ointment. What a good girl.

"As long as it's useful."

Ning Qi looked up nonchalantly. Hey, isn't this Cui Yanxi, the Lady of Tiaohua Township? Does she also like this wonton shop?

Cui Yanxi worked in the Censorate. It was also her duty to reflect the people's livelihood, so she often wandered around the market and observed the people's sentiments.

She was just about to find a place to sit when a voice sounded behind her, "Miss, please save my daughter."

A woman fell to her knees in front of Cui Yanxi, begging with tears streaming down her face, "My daughter Fen'er is about to be sold to a brothel by her biological father. Only you can save her."

"Miss, just because you were born and raised on my milk, and because I love you like my own daughter, please save my Fen'er. She is only thirteen years old, so young, so pitiful. Please have mercy on her and save her."

"If anything happens to Fen, I won't live anymore."

She cried miserably, and her cries made people feel pity for her.

The onlookers urged, "Girl, please help them, they are so pitiful."

"Ah, being sold to a brothel ruins her life. How could there be such a cruel father?"

"Girl, no matter what, she is the one who raised you with her milk. She is your wet nurse, and a wet nurse is still a mother. Please help her."

"Saving a life is like building a seven-story pagoda. Be a good person."

The more Ning Qi listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Saving people was entirely voluntary. Saving people was a favor, and not saving them was a duty. Why did it seem like he was forcing people to do good deeds now?

Mr. Tiaohua is in big trouble.

Amid the noise, Cui Yanxi had a calm expression and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

The woman looked at the girl who showed no emotion, and her heart trembled. "Miss, please say something."

Cui Yanxi asked calmly, "Why did your man sell your daughter to a brothel? Was it to find a wife for your son?"

The woman's face changed, "No, no, he has no other choice... Miss, let's talk about this later. It's almost too late. Let's save people first."

Cui Yanxi stood still, and the woman couldn't help but get anxious, "Are you being ungrateful and refusing to save me?"
