Destiny Phoenix

Chapter 263 Duplicity
The next day, King Ning returned to court.

Due to leading by example during the disaster relief period and being kind to the people, Ma Ning not only won the praise of the people in the disaster-stricken area, but also his reputation in the court has also increased.When entering the city, many people spontaneously rushed to the streets to greet him.

The quality of popularity can be seen from the welcome crowd.

The emperor also heard about this wonderful scene, and hurriedly brought Ruijing and his ministers to the watchtower inside Zhengyangmen, and looked out from afar.

Because it was too far away, I couldn't see it clearly. I saw bustling people, surrounded by a few tall horses, from far to near.It wasn't until people were stopped outside the first palace gate that he realized that it was indeed Ma Ning.

I saw that I got off my horse, without the slightest pride and complacency after making meritorious deeds, packed up my luggage, and hurried in through the Chonghua Gate.

Walking to Zhengyang Gate and seeing himself on the tall building, he was startled for a moment, then smiled flattered, flung his cloak, and knelt down on both knees to perform a national salute: "I see my father, long live my father, long live my father!" age!"

The emperor was so happy that he hurriedly went down the tower and helped him up with his own hands, "My son has worked hard."

"It's my son's fortune to be able to share the worries of the father and the emperor." When he got up, his eyes swept behind the emperor.The Lantern Festival has not yet passed, and it is not yet the time to go to court, so there are quite a few ministers who come to watch the fun.

In addition to his confidant ministers such as the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of War, there are also some people who used to be loyal to the prince.

At this moment when those people saw him, they all had a bit of apprehension and fear on their faces.

This kind of expression is probably called submission.

Seeing that he had seen it, the adults behind the emperor hurriedly knelt down and bowed to him, "I see His Royal Highness King Ning."

Of course, the ministers were quickly helped up.

Under the leadership of the emperor, a group of people paced towards the imperial study.

At this time, Feng Mansion welcomed a special guest.

The reason why he is special is because he seldom actively appears in the sight of others.

This person is Yu Wang Ma Jian.

"Minister Qingyao has seen His Highness King Yu, but she didn't know that His Highness is here, and she is far away to welcome her. I hope His Highness will forgive me." Feng Qingyao received the news, took Bai Xiu to the door to greet him, and greeted him with a blessing present.

Before her parents came back, she was the only master in the mansion, and the matter of welcoming and sending her off fell on her head.

"You don't have to be polite, Miss Feng." Ma Jian stretched out his hand to help Feng Qingyao, but she turned her side slightly and avoided it calmly.

In Ma Jian's melancholy eyes, a ruthless glint flashed across.

The cruelty flashed past, as if it didn't exist at all, he smiled slightly, turned his head and looked at the people carrying gifts behind him, "Xiao Wang came here today to congratulate Miss Feng, a little heart , I hope Miss Feng will accept it with a smile."

That ruthlessness could not escape Feng Qingyao's eyes.

She smiled gracefully, and politely evaded: "Father never likes reciprocity. If Qingyao accepts His Highness's gift at this time, won't she be scolded when her father comes back? Please also bring the gift back, Your Highness, so don't embarrass Qingyao gone."

Feng Xiang never reciprocated with others, this Ma Jian had heard it before, he smiled brightly, and didn't force it, "It makes Xiao Wang feel ashamed." He turned his head and told the servants: "You go back first, and take the gift with you. Walk."

"Yes." Hearing this, all the servants stepped back, and in the blink of an eye, only Ma Jian and Feng Qingyao were left in front of the door.

Ma Jian smiled slightly, with the same gloomy expression at the beginning, which made people feel humble and introverted, "Xiao Wang came presumptuously, I don't know if he will disturb the girl."

"His Royal Highness is here, how dare you call it an interruption? I just heard that King Ning is coming back today. His Highness came here instead of going to the palace, which made Qingyao feel very puzzled." She didn't want to continue entangled with him, just He was thinking of finding a reason to send him away, but before he could speak, a sweet voice came from a distance, "Sister Qingyao!"
