Chapter 12 Self-inflicted
Sure enough, as soon as Ning Zhao stepped into the threshold of the front hall, Ning Hong, who was sitting in the first place, couldn't wait to ask her: "Zhao'er, what your sister said is true?" ”
"Daddy, what my daughter said is naturally true."
Ning Lian, who was sitting on the side, covered his mouth and chuckled, his eyes wandered, "Yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accidentally knelt and injured his knee, and it was my sister who helped His Highness heal." After going back and forth, the two actually looked at each other like this. The younger sister also secretly gave her personal silk passana to His Royal Highness the Prince, and her daughter could see it clearly. ”
The Chen family still did not hide their disdain for Ning Zhao, snorted coldly, and sneered: "Sure enough, she is a concubine who can't be on the stage, and she even does such a shameless thing as privately giving and accepting each other, and she really loses the face of our Ning Mansion." ”
"Hey, don't think like this, madam, that's His Royal Highness the Prince, who will inherit the dragon son of the great unification in the future." Ning Hong's face was full of smiles, "Even if Zhao'er can't be a harem concubine, it would be excellent if she could be the crown princess." ”
The Crown Princess?
Ning Zhao sneered.
After she became the crown princess in her previous life, her good father did not use her and Murong Cheng's names to pave the way for his career.
How could she possibly give him the same chance now?
"Zhao'er, you said, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really takes a fancy to you?" Ning Hong looked at Ning Zhao expectantly, greedy desire crawling all over his eyes.
"Daddy, what are you talking about? Why can't Zhao'er understand? Ning Zhao's eyes widened slightly, and his smart eyes were full of doubt.
Her expression was innocent and innocent, as if she didn't know anything.
"Sister, don't be shy, my sister knows what happened yesterday, there are no outsiders here, why should you cover it? It's better for your family to take care of you than for you to fight alone. ”
Ning Lian's eyebrows and eyes were also full of smiles, and his words seemed to be on Ning Zhao's side for her sake.
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Ning Zhao turned his head to look at her, blinked and said, "Yesterday's incident?" Did something terrible happen yesterday? ”
Ning Hongqing coughed: "Zhao'er, Daddy and ask you, did you see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Nancheng Temple yesterday?" ”
Ning Zhao nodded obediently: "Yes." ”
"Then did you heal His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's leg injury?"
"Yes."
"Then have you given your personal silk handkerchief to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Ning Zhao shook his head slowly: "No, why did Zhao'er give her daughter's things to His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
Seeing that the topic finally turned to the personal silk handkerchief, Ning Jian hurriedly opened his mouth in front of Ning Hong:
"If my sister remembers correctly, my sister's silk handkerchief and mine are both made of cloud silk that His Majesty has rewarded. Because there are only these two pieces, my sister has always been a baby! Since my sister said that she didn't give the silk handkerchief to His Royal Highness the Prince, then you can take out your silk handkerchief and show it to us, if you can't get it......"
As soon as her words fell, the eyes of several people present were focused on Ning Zhao again, as if they were waiting for her to prove herself.
However, Ning Zhao just looked at Ning Jian quietly, his eyes were like a deep spring, and there was a hint of imperceptible irony.
"What? Can't take it out? Ning Lian's smile brought a touch of indescribable pride, "Since you can't take it out, it can only prove ......"
"Sister," Ning Zhao suddenly opened his mouth, the tails of his eyes bent into an arc little by little, but his tone was extremely cold, "Isn't my silk handkerchief with you?" You borrowed a silk handkerchief from me yesterday, and you haven't returned it to me yet. ”
Hearing this, Ning Jian subconsciously retorted: "When did I ask you to borrow a silk handkerchief?" I have ...... myself."
Her voice stopped abruptly, as if she suddenly realized something, and in a panic took out a silk handkerchief from her bosom.
One of the corners of the silk handkerchief is embroidered with a square character "Zhao".
Ning Lian's face turned pale.
"Sister, isn't that my silk handkerchief?"
Ning Zhao pointed to the silk handkerchief and smiled, "On the way back from Nancheng Temple yesterday, you said that your silk handkerchief was lost, so you asked me to borrow it, have you forgotten?" ”
"You are talking nonsense, my silk handkerchief has not been lost at all, and I have not borrowed it from you!" The gentle mask on Ning Lian's surface collapsed, and she clutched the silk handkerchief tightly, and her forehead was already sweating.
Once this poisonous plan about Qingyu goes wrong, she can't stand the backlash!
Ning Hong and Chen were also confused by this sudden change.
So...... It wasn't Ning Zhao who lost the silk handkerchief, but Ning Zhuo?
It was not Ning Zhao who received it privately with the prince, but ......
Realizing this, Chen's face suddenly changed.
Ning Jian still wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't help but hear Chen's scolding: "Shut up!" Aren't you ashamed enough? ”
Chen strode down, grabbed Ning Zhuo's arm, and threw the silk handkerchief in her hand back to Ning Zhao.
"Mother, you have to believe me......" Ning Lian's eyes were full of tears.
Seeing the look of grievance on Ning Lian's face, Ning Hong hurriedly shifted the topic to Ning Zhao: "Zhao'er did a good job today, even if she doesn't enter the palace as a concubine in the future, with the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, as long as you work hard, although you are a concubine, you can still sit in the position of the prince's side concubine." ”
Ning Hong's partiality was ironic in Ning Zhao's eyes, and if he wanted to change the topic, she didn't let him get his wish.
"Isn't my father old and a little confused? Shouldn't this be said to my sister-in-law? After all, it is very likely that the person who received it privately with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the sister-in-law......"
Ning Zhao deliberately put the unpierced things on the bright side.
"Presumptuous! A girl's family doesn't learn well, it's all some big rebellious words, who taught you to ruin your sister's reputation? Chen was so angry that he rushed straight to Ning Zhao and raised his hand to slap her.
It's just that before this slap fell, Ning Zhao's wrist was clamped tightly.
"Mother, if your slap falls, Zhao'er can't guarantee that this matter will spread throughout the capital after today."
Ning Zhao was smiling when he said this, but what was hidden in the depths of those eyes was a sharp blade.
She was threatening, and at the same time, she was betting that the Chen family would not dare to take risks with Ning Lian.
Sure enough, Chen's face sank when he heard this, and he glanced at her coldly after breaking free of Ning Zhao's shackles.
"Juan'er just lost a silk handkerchief, and such small things are nothing to worry about my Ning family. Since it's all a misunderstanding, then this matter has been revealed, and Hugh has to mention it again! ”
