The wicked imperial concubine is courting death again; the comments section teaches her how to win w

Ning Nishang was taken to the outside of the Hall of Mental Cultivation by Li Degui.

"Miss Ning, please."

This is Ning Nishang's first time in this place.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation was where the emperor handled simple government affairs and lived his daily life. It was majestic, solemn, and resplendent.

As the daughter of a deceased prefect, she would never have had the chance to set foot here in her lifetime unless something unexpected happened.

But looking at the gilded plaque, Ning Nishang felt a vague sense of familiarity, as if she had been here countless times before.

Some nonsensical fragments inexplicably flashed through my mind—

"Xuan Niang, I was wrong. I shouldn't have treated you like that... Please forgive me. I was deceived by that vile woman and didn't realize my true feelings. I have already sent her to the military brothel to make up for the torment you have suffered over the years."

"What more do you want? I've already bowed my head to you..."

"Xuan Niang, think of the child... After you give birth, I will make him the crown prince. Please stop being angry with me, okay?"

These fragmented memories came out of nowhere, yet they caused Ning Nishang a sharp pain in her head.

That person referred to himself as... "朕" (Zhen, the imperial emperor)?

Who is he?

I couldn't see their faces, I could only hear their voices.

Ning Nishang had no memory of these scenes, nor did she know why they appeared, but this memory was like a thick black fog, engulfing her and sinking her into a muddy swamp, making it difficult for her to breathe and escape.

Ning Nishang disliked the palace from the bottom of her heart, disliked the deep, dark palace that seemed to swallow people up.

"Miss Ning?" Seeing that she didn't respond, Li Degui said, "Please go in quickly, His Majesty is still waiting."

"Thank you for your trouble, sir."

Ning Nishang composed herself and, suppressing her inner resistance, walked towards the palace gate. But after taking two steps, she stopped. "His Majesty summoned me today. Does Tangtang know?"

Tangtang doesn't like others touching the things she likes—including people.

Ning Nishang remembers this vividly.

There was no need; she didn't want to meet His Majesty alone.

Li Degui simply smiled and said, "You'll see when you go inside, young lady."

Having said that, Ning Nishang had no choice but to step into the palace. There she saw Qi Yitang, who should have been confined to his quarters for reflection, being pinned against the wall by the emperor. "You glanced at him several times just now. Is he really that handsome? Do you like silver hair?"

"The men outside are all scheming, like those in brothels. Tangtang, your eyes should only have eyes for me!"

"Okay, okay, I know. I love you the most, I like you the most, Yao Yao."

Seeing Ning Nishang at the door through the gap in her arms, Qi Yitang quickly pushed Xie Ling aside, wiped her mouth as if to cover her tracks, and waved enthusiastically to her, "Cousin, come in quickly!"

It's normal for couples to be intimate, but what's strange is that Qi Yitang is wearing a palace maid's outfit.

The way they're posing, the way they're dressed...

Ning Nishang was a simple and good child, and her mind went blank for a moment.

What are they playing at?

"This humble woman greets Your Majesty." Although she was not clear about the situation, Ning Nishang still respectfully bowed first.

[Ahhh, the female lead's baby is here! Sending her a big kiss!]

[You guys instantly switched from erotic mode to baby bus mode, don't corrupt the innocent, pure-hearted heroine!]

Why can't we be framed from the female lead's perspective? It makes it feel like we've been transported into the body of a supporting female character.

[The female lead is a chosen one; how can her whereabouts be easily spied on? Let's see what the supporting female character does.]

I know this will cost extra.

The barrage of comments was filled with jubilation. Qi Yitang realized once again that the female lead was indeed the female lead, and the popularity gap between her, the villainous supporting character, and the female lead was enormous.

"Cousin, come and sit down."

Ning Nishang sat down as instructed. However, with the emperor present, she was still somewhat reserved and sat with her back ramrod straight.

Xie Ling considerately stood up. "I still have some memorials to review. You sisters can chat."

Qi Yitang nodded and presented the sliced ​​melon to Ning Nishang, "Here, cousin, have some."

Did Qin Lianyue cause you any trouble when you entered the palace today?

Seeing Qi Yitang dressed as a palace maid, her eyes sparkling, and lacking the usual airs of a noble consort, Ning Nishang's heart softened.

Her parents only had her and her younger brother. From the time she could remember, she regretted not having a sweet and soft little sister.

Ning Nishang wasn't much older than Qi Yitang, and she knew from a very young age that her aunt had a little cousin.

However, since they lived in Quzhou, which was far away, they could not travel to the capital without an imperial edict, so they had never been able to meet him.

After her parents passed away, when Ning Wanrong brought her to Shengjing, Ning Nishang was filled with a mix of anxiety and anticipation, wondering if her cousin would welcome her, the older cousin who had come from afar.

Although all four cousins ​​were very nice, they were ultimately men, and there was a difference between men and women. Ning Nishang felt closer to Qi Yitang, who was also a girl.

She doesn't have a younger sister, but she treats her cousin like her own sister.

But back then, Qi Yitang was like a firecracker, ready to explode at the slightest spark. She had nothing to do with being gentle and obedient, and he didn't like her either...

Now, they really do look like sisters.

"It wasn't much trouble, just a few words." Ning Nishang took the melon and ate it in small bites. "But Tangtang, why are you dressed like that?"

"This one—" This was the inspiration Xie Ling gave Qi Yitang at Baohua Temple last time.

Today, Prince Anning was summoned to the palace. Qi Yitang wanted to see him in person, but Consort Qi was under house arrest, so she could only disguise herself as a palace maid.

"We're looking for excitement. You'll find out after you get married."

Ning Nishang: "..." Okay.

Seeing that Qi Yitang was nominally confined to her quarters but her movements were not restricted in any way and her complexion had even become rosier, Ning Nishang felt relieved.

It seems His Majesty still cares about Tangtang and has not fallen out of favor as rumored.

"By the way, cousin, I saw Lu Linbai today." Qi Yitang, the matchmaker, was getting more and more enthusiastic. "I took a close look at him. He has all the features: eyes, nose, and eyebrows. He's very tall. Although he has a head of silver hair, which looks quite eerie, he's not ugly."

Ning Nishang was slightly taken aback. "...Silver hair?"

"What's wrong? You don't like it?"

Even by Qi Yitang's discerning standards, that head of silver hair wasn't ugly at all; on the contrary, it made him look aloof and otherworldly, like a celestial being banished from the mortal realm.

He's barely a match for the female lead.

"No." Ning Nishang shook her head. "It's just that when I was little, I met a boy who had fallen into the water. He also had silver hair."

It was many years ago during the Lunar New Year, and she was celebrating the holiday with her cousins.

The adults were all busy, so her brothers took her out to catch fish. When they got to the river, they rolled up their trousers and went into the water, while Ning Nishang, who was weak and sensitive to the cold, waited on the bank.

While waiting, they unexpectedly discovered a round, ball-like object covered in white hair, resembling a person yet not quite, floating downstream.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed a person; they were not dead.

Still struggling and thrashing about, gulping down water, crying out, "Help me—"

Ning Nishang was startled and immediately picked up the bamboo pole next to her and stretched it out for the man to grab, trying to rescue him.

As it turned out, the man was too strong. Not only did he fail to rescue her, he also dragged Ning Nishang from the shore into the water.

The river water was icy cold, but fortunately Ning Nishang could swim, so she didn't drown.

Later, when the older brothers who had caught fish returned, they saw their cousin being dragged in the water by a white, hairy object. They thought it was a water ghost or a water monkey or some other monster, and were terrified.

They quickly pulled the two people who were huddled together out of the water, only to discover that the white fur was actually a person.

Afterwards, they carried the chubby white-haired boy back home, reported it to the authorities to find out which family had lost their child, and then went home and took turns getting spanked.

Because Ning Nishang was physically weak, she was taken out to soak in water and developed a high fever when she returned. Her illness became quite serious on and off.

Later, when he followed his parents to Quzhou to take up their posts, his health deteriorated further.

Ning Nishang had only ever seen this feature of white hair on that one person.

[It's not a loss that Little Fatty died, at least the female lead still remembers him.]

She's now a stunningly beautiful woman with a great figure and a cool, aloof demeanor; she's not fat at all, okay? Let's not bring up her past controversies.

[Although he's handsome now, I really can't imagine what he looked like as a child—a chubby body with white hair, it's so weird, okay?]

[She seems quite abstinent, but why does she seem so sarcastic and cheeky? Can the innocent female lead handle this?]

[They treat him like a dog, controlling him.]
