Chapter 19 Back to Shangshufu

Yesterday the weather was sunny and cloudless, and this morning it was a little better, but now it is drizzling and the weather is colder.

Ning Qingyue walked out of the gate of the palace, and Lan Wei beside her had been helping her hold an umbrella, although she did not return to the Shangshu Mansion with Li Song, but as soon as she walked out of the door of the palace, she saw that Li Song's guard Zhou Da had already been waiting at the gate of the palace with a cart of valuables.

Ning Qingyue looked at Zhou Da with some surprise, but saw Zhou Da step forward and said respectfully: "The prince learned that today is Lord Ning's birthday, and specially ordered his subordinates to return to Shangshu Mansion with the princess. Immediately afterwards, Zhou Da looked at the car of congratulatory gifts and said, "Lord Wang, he is busy with official business, so he can't go back to Shangshu Mansion with you, Princess, these are the congratulatory gifts that the prince ordered his subordinates to prepare for Lord Ning, and the princess Your return gift." ”

Is King Mu so caring? Ning Qingyue couldn't even believe that although he couldn't go back to Shangshu Mansion with her, he would prepare so many things for her to take back, and he also sent his bodyguards to follow her.

Suddenly, Ning Qingyue couldn't help but think of what Li Zide said to her a while ago, and she asked again: "How does the prince know that today is the birthday of the concubine's father?" It is said that when Concubine Ben left the house a few days ago, Guard Li followed Concubine Ben, and Concubine Ben seemed to have mentioned her father's birthday to him, could it be that Guard Li told the prince? ”

Ning Qingyue asked this just to confirm whether Li Zide still remembered his promise to himself, but this question stumped Zhou Da.

Zhou Da's eyes flashed slightly, and at this moment he was even more weak-hearted, after all, Li Guards, and their princes were the same person, if he answered that Li Guards, it was natural that Li Guards' hearts were good, and the princess was bad, on the contrary, it should naturally be that the princess's impression in the princess's heart was better, after all, the identity of "Li Guard" was going to disappear sooner or later, so Zhou Dasi thought about it and replied: "Lord Ning's birthday prince has always been in mind, and I helped you prepare for the princess early." ”

Ning Qingyue's heart sank slightly, but there was still a faint smile on her face: "Let the prince bother." ”

After getting into the carriage, the smile on Ning Qingyue's face disappeared, and there was a sense of loss in her heart for no reason, when she thought that Li Zide had broken his trust, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, and her eyes were slightly red.

On the carriage, Lan Wei noticed that Ning Qingyue's mood was not high, and she asked worriedly, "Princess, what's wrong with you, but you feel uncomfortable?" ”

Ning Qingyue came back to her senses, shook her head with red eyes: "It's nothing, don't think about it." ”

But as far as Ning Qingyue's dejected appearance today, Lan Wei is not the first time to see her, saying that after the princess returned to the house a few days ago, Lan Wei occasionally felt that the princess's mood was not quite right every day, she would often look out the window and look at a piece of jade pendant that she didn't know where to get it in a daze, sometimes laughing, sometimes as if she was not very happy.

When the carriage was halfway through, the rain outside suddenly fell heavily, the carriage stopped, Zhou Da hurriedly asked the accompanying subordinates to take the tarpaulin to cover the congratulatory gifts on the carriage, Ning Qingyue heard the movement in the car, and her heart suddenly said: "It's too stuffy on the carriage, I'll go down and breathe for a while." ”

Lan Wei hurriedly said, "The slave and maid will go down with you." ”

Ning Qingyue smiled and pressed her action to get up and said, "It's raining outside, you stay in the carriage well, this concubine just wants to go down for a while, and she will come up soon." ”

Soon Ning Qingyue got off the carriage with an umbrella by herself, behind her carriage, Zhou Dazheng commanded her subordinates to be busy covering the congratulatory gifts on the carriage with tarpaulins, he saw Ning Qingyue getting off the carriage and hurriedly stepped forward in the rain and said: "Princess, why did you get off the car, it is raining heavily outside, and the weather is cold, in case you suffer from the wind cold, the prince will not spare his subordinates." ”

Ning Qingyue looked at Zhou Da and smiled, but the already full of Qi in her eyes couldn't be suppressed: "Don't worry, this concubine just came down to breathe for a while, you go and get busy, and the concubine will go back to the carriage later." ”

Ning Qingyue turned around and looked in the direction of the palace, and Zhou Da behind her looked at her back, feeling a little apprehensive, why did the princess look like she was very lost? Could it be that he just answered the question and answered it badly?

In fact, the carriage has already traveled a long way, where can I still see the palace at this time? However, Ning Qingyue looked in that direction for a long time, she was distracted for a long time, her eyes were a little sour, since she crossed over to Chen Guo, she lost the memory of her previous life, she grew up in Shangshu Mansion since she was a child, and she has never felt a trace of warmth between her relatives in Shangshu Mansion for fifteen years.

Mother died of a sudden illness soon after giving birth to her, her father was an official of the imperial court, and he only cared about officialdom affairs, and her father-daughter relationship was very shallow, and the main mother Yuan also had her own children, and her various expenses were not a few on weekdays, she was bullied by her subordinates a lot when she was a child, she fell on her head, fell cold, fell sick, and was scalded by tea, most of which were stumbling blocks for her, but Ning Qingyue knew in her heart that those subordinates were just acting according to orders.

Yuan's image of a loving mother on the surface, in fact, is simply like a snake and scorpion, she didn't know how many times she cried since she was a child, and then slowly her heart was cold, and she obediently did not go out of the door to the eldest daughter of Shangshu Mansion, and was bullied and swallowed in her stomach, she thought about marrying a good family in the future, she was also out of the sea of suffering, and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, who had set a family affair with her since childhood, actually came to Shangshu Mansion with a marriage book after she and Lu and withdrew from her. And they also gave a dowry to marry her sister, who was Ning Shuangshuang, the daughter of the Yuan family.

At that time, when Ning Qingyue chose to hang the beam and commit suicide, she really wanted to die, outsiders thought that she would do this because of the damage to her reputation, but in fact, she was just bent on dying because her only hope for so many years was shattered, even then, Ning Qingyue never cried, because she had already learned to swallow it in her stomach after being wronged, and she would not cry for a long time.

But today, Ning Qingyue suddenly had the urge to cry, because Li Zide had lost her trust, and she wanted to cry.

Since when did she gradually have hope for such a person, but this little bit of hope, like the rain that fell today, fell on the ground, and as soon as the sun came out, it would be evaporated.

Suddenly, Ning Qingyue's shoulders warmed, and at some point, Lan Wei got out of the carriage, took a cloak and walked behind her to help her put it on.

Lan Wei said worriedly: "If the princess doesn't want to go back to Shangshu Mansion, then don't go back, how can they bully you and ruin your reputation, after all, you are the princess of Mu Wangfu, no matter what they do, they can't compare to your dignity, right?" ”

Ning Qingyue shook her head amusedly: "It's okay, I was just troubled by one thing just now, but now I have figured it out, let's go, follow me to the carriage, I have been married for a few days, and today I should indeed go back on my father's birthday." ”

After Ning Qingyue got into the carriage, Zhou Dacai, who followed behind, breathed a sigh of relief, after all, if something really happened to the princess, he was afraid that he would have to go back to see their prince.

Today, on the birthday of Lord Shangshu Ning Weiyan, Shangshu Mansion only set up a family banquet, and almost no outsiders came. When the carriage of King Mu's Mansion arrived at the door of Shangshu Mansion, it was also deserted, and no one in Shangshu Mansion came out to greet him.

It is said that when Ning Qingyue was still a boudoir woman, she was not welcomed, and now she is the noble Princess Mu, but once she returns to the house, no one in the mansion treats her. Ning Qingyue looked pale in the face of this scene, and was not surprised, but Zhou Da, who was Li Song's personal guard, really saw the reason.

No wonder the prince explained that he wanted to follow the princess, but I didn't expect the princess to return to the house today, this Shangshu Mansion is really a big shelf, and no one came out to greet Princess Mu!

In fact, he didn't care about these Ning Qingyue, but Zhou Da's heart was unhappy, and then the group walked to the door of Shangshu Mansion, and when the people at the door suddenly saw Ning Qingyue, they were all in a trance, after all, it was not the first time they had seen their eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion, but when they saw it today, they felt that the eldest lady was even more beautiful than before she got married, no, not beautiful, today's eldest lady is like a fairy.

However, just when Ning Qingyue raised her feet and was about to enter the house, the people at the door could be regarded as coming back to their senses, to say that although this fairy was good-looking, it would not be enough to fight for their future and life, and soon the subordinates not only did not salute Ning Qingyue, but also blocked Ning Qingyue's way: "Miss, the housewife explained, although you are back today to celebrate the master's birthday, but today is also your return day, the housewife said, you should have returned to the door in three days, but now it has been a long time, you are late to come back, You should kowtow at the door to atone for your sins of unfilial piety before you can enter the house. ”

Ning Qingyue was stunned, why did she get married, but Yuan's ugly face became more and more unscrupulous? She hasn't even entered the mansion yet, so she has such a dismount!

"Presumptuous! The princess is the matriarch of my Mu Palace, and her status is noble, you dare to say "eldest lady" one by one, and dare to let the princess kowtow? Who gave you the guts! Zhou Da didn't say a word, he casually pulled out the sword at his waist and pressed the sword against the neck of a subordinate.

The subordinate was so frightened that he trembled, but the other subordinates on the side mocked: "Who doesn't know that the eldest lady has not been treated by King Mu since she married into King Mu's mansion, and we are all acting according to orders today, who are you who dare to be so disrespectful to the master mother of our Shangshu Mansion and ignore her orders?" ”

Zhou Da glanced over coldly, "What is a housewife of Shangshu Mansion?" I am the prince's bodyguard, everything I do is under the orders of the prince, why are you all so brave to humiliate the princess of my Mu Wangfu, are you not afraid that our prince will ask for your life? ”
