Chapter Forty-Seven: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
into the king's mansion.
Princess Cheng sent her subordinates to Shangshu Mansion to deliver the post early in the morning.
Li Jinze came to Princess Cheng's house early in the morning to ask for peace, and when he saw the next person going out with the post, he asked, "Where is this post going to?" β
The subordinate respectfully: "If you go back to Your Highness, you will send it to Shangshu Mansion." β
Li Jinze asked again: "Which Shangshu Mansion?" β
The next person said: "The mansion of Lord Shang Shangning of the Ministry of Officials." β
Li Jinze thought slightly, and before he could say anything, Princess Cheng walked out of the house with a group of people.
Seeing her son standing at the door, Princess Cheng looked at her lovingly and said, "My son is here." β
"Say hello to my mother." Li Jinze stepped forward and said respectfully, "Where are you going with your group, concubine?" β
Princess Cheng smiled softly and said: "On the second day of the new year, my mother is going to your grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings. β
Li Jinze's eyes flashed, but he forgot about this stubble.
The married woman is going to her mother's house to visit the New Year in the second year of junior high school, so Ning Qingyue should also return to Shangshu Mansion today, right?
Since the day of Shangshu's Mansion, Li Jinze saw her from afar in the box on the second floor of the Zuixian Building, and so far he would often go to the Zuixian Mansion to wait, but he never saw her again.
The more Li Jinze couldn't see Ning Qingyue, the deeper he remembered it, even if his marriage to Ning Shuangshuang was imminent, he couldn't let go of Ning Qingyue in his heart.
After thinking for a while, he looked at the subordinate who hadn't had time to leave: "Bring the post!" β
Although the subordinate was puzzled, he also handed over the post to Li Jinze very respectfully.
Li Jinze took the post, looked at Princess Cheng with a smile and said, "Mother, this post sent to Lord Ning's mansion, how can you casually let someone do it for you?" It's better for my son to run it himself. β
Princess Cheng looked slightly stunned, to say that these days, she also urged her son to walk around with Shangshufu more, after all, she was going to get married, but Li Jinze has been looking for excuses to shirk, since that day Ning Daren's birthday, Li Jinze has never been to Shangshu Mansion.
Now, when Princess Cheng saw that her son took the initiative to ask to go to Shangshu Mansion to deliver a post, she laughed again: "My son hasn't seen the second girl of the Ning family for a long time, so I read it in my heart!" β
Li Jinze knew that his mother had misunderstood him, but he didn't say anything, but smiled as if by default.
Seeing him like this, Princess Cheng stepped forward to help him tidy up his clothes and said: "Lord Ning is the pillar of the country, you go, you must get closer to him, remember not to neglect the second girl of the Ning family." β
Li Jinze smiled faintly: "The mother concubine is at ease, and the son knows what to do." β
It's just a play, he has learned this since he was a child, and now in the court, how many officials praise the emperor's eldest grandson for his gentleness, humility and courtesy, otherwise Lord Ning, who is still the secretary of the ministry, would not easily accept his withdrawal from his eldest girl's marriage, and proposed to the second girl.
Out of the Chengwang Mansion, Li Jinze sat in the carriage happily, he thought to himself that when he saw his second uncle in the palace yesterday, he had never brought Ning Qingyue into the palace together, and he thought that he would not go to Shangshu Mansion with Ning Qingyue today.
In this way, he may be able to say a few words to Ning Qingyue today.
At this time, the carriage of King Mu's mansion also headed towards Shangshu Mansion, and soon, the carriages of the two palaces happened to meet on the street.
Outside the carriage of King Cheng's Mansion, Li Jinze's entourage lifted the curtain and said, "Your Highness, the carriage of King Mu's Mansion followed behind." β
As soon as he heard that it was the carriage of King Mu's mansion, Li Jinze was in good spirits!
"Hurry up and stop, wait for the carriage of King Mu's mansion." Li Jinze hurriedly said.
The carriage stopped, and Li Jinze got out of the carriage.
The carriage of King Mu's Mansion, which followed behind, was blocked by the carriage of King Cheng's Mansion, and it also stopped.
Inside the carriage, Ning Qingyue looked at Forsythia and said, "Forsythia, go out and see, what happened, why did the carriage stop suddenly." β
As soon as the forsythia got out of the carriage, Li Jinze saw that it was a servant, he stepped forward with a smile, and made a gentleman's salute to the carriage and said, "It's Princess Mu sitting in the car?" β
Forsythia followed Ning Qingyue out of the house for the first time, and she didn't know Li Jinze, so she asked no matter how big or small: "Who are you, why are you blocking our princess's way?" β
Li Jinze's brows frowned slightly, and he immediately felt that this girl really had no rules.
So, Li Jinze raised his head, ignored the forsythia, and an arrogant color crossed his eyes.
Li Jinze has always been more humble in front of the court officials and a group of royal children, but now in front of a subordinate, he does not have to surrender his identity.
At that moment, the entourage beside him stepped forward and reprimanded: "You little girl, you don't salute when you see our Emperor Eldest Sun His Royal Highness, and you dare to shout so much, what kind of system do you have?" β
Forsythia's body trembled, and he hurriedly saluted Li Jinze and said, "The slave has seen His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson. β
Ning Qingyue sat in the carriage and heard that it was Li Jinze here, and she sighed with a headache.
This is really a narrow road!
How could she meet her ex-fiancΓ© as soon as she returned to Shangshu Mansion? However, Ning Qingyue thought that when it came to seniority, he was his nephew, well, he had confidence!
I saw that in the carriage, a slender and white hand gently opened the curtain of the carriage, and at that moment, Li Jinze's eyes saw the woman in red clothes with a beautiful face, which had haunted him for many days.
Li Song was a little stunned, and his eyes were very hot.
Ning Qingyue glanced at Li Song lightly, and when she caught a glimpse of his gaze, Ning Qingyue was a little puzzled in her heart, this kid looked at her like this, and his eyes didn't shy away at all, could it be that he was fascinated by his own flower and moon appearance, national color and heavenly fragrance?
Phew! Ning Qingyue secretly spit out herself, she was too narcissistic......
"Where is the emperor's eldest grandson going?" Ning Qingyue's tone was neither hot nor cold.
The phrase "the eldest grandson of the emperor" suddenly woke up Li Jinze.
He looked at Ning Qingyue, and said with a gentle gaze: "I'm going to Shangshu Mansion to deliver a post, can Princess Mu go with me?" β
It stands to reason that he should call Ning Qingyue a second aunt, but he can't call it this title.
To say that although Ning Qingyue is now a generation older than him, she is younger than him, and Li Jinze has always had some unspeakable thoughts about her in his heart, he will never call her "second aunt" in person.
Ning Qingyue didn't think much about it, anyway, after the New Year, she was only sixteen, if Li Jinze really called her "second aunt", she might not be able to accept it for a while, after all, the name of "second aunt" called her old, she thinks that she is now a real young and invincible beautiful girl!
"Naturally, they are on the same path." Ning Qingyue said a word, but her emotions were still faint.
Li Jinze felt a little lost in his heart, after all, the two of them had a marriage contract in the past, but why Ning Qingyue was always so cold when he saw him, as if he didn't care about their past at all.
Li Jinze raised his eyes and glanced at his entourage, he led a group of horses, turned over and said: "Since we are on the same road, then I will personally escort Princess Mu to Shangshu Mansion together." β
Li Jinze drove his horse to Ning Qingyue's carriage.
In the carriage, Ning Qingyue was dumbfounded, why didn't she understand this kid's operation?
The two of them had a marriage contract in the past, and then Li Jinze personally withdrew from the marriage, even if they divorced, in the final analysis, it is better for the two of them to be less close, so as not to accidentally cause any gossip.
Ning Qingyue was worried, but he was the eldest grandson of the emperor, and it made sense for him to do things no matter how out of the ordinary.
And what about her? Although she is Princess Mu and has a noble status, no matter how noble a woman is, if she gets into some gossip with a foreign man, if she doesn't deal with it well, she is likely to be finished in this nonsense.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried horses' hooves came, Ning Qingyue sat in the carriage and didn't see it, Li Jinze outside naturally saw it, and naturally saw the forsythia who hadn't gotten into the carriage to serve him.
Forsythia immediately said excitedly: "Princess, it's the prince who is here!" β
Forsythia was still young after all, and she didn't notice that Li Jinze was escorting their princess on a horse at this moment, which was really not very suitable.
Ning Qingyue sat in the carriage, the expression on her face was almost loveless!
Now she just begged Li Zide to see what her nephew had done, and not to think about it.
"Woo ......" Li Song saw from a distance that Li Jinze, a stinky boy, was talking to his little princess, he stopped his horse here, and when he looked at Li Jinze, the expression on his face was not to mention how exciting!
Li Songdanfan thought that the person her little princess might have almost married was this kid, and he was jealous in his heart.
However, because he felt guilty about Ning Qingyue in his heart, he also knew that Ning Qingyue didn't have the slightest thought about Li Jinze, so he naturally wouldn't be angry with Ning Qingyue.
"What is my nephew doing with the carriage of my Mu Wangfu on a horse?" Li Song asked knowingly.
In the carriage, although Ning Qingyue was angry with Li Song, she was angry, and her own reputation was more important!
So, Ning Qingyue got out of the carriage, walked to Li Song's horse, and saluted in a proper manner: "Why is the prince here?" β
Seeing that Ning Qingyue had come down, Li Song hurriedly dismounted, and grabbed Ning Qingyue's slightly cool hand: "This king is here to accompany you back to Shangshu Mansion to pay New Year's greetings." β
Seeing that the two of them were holding hands together, and Li Jinze, who was still sitting on the horse, was embarrassed on his face, and a bitterness was born in his heart. The man who should have held her hand, he was!
At the moment, Li Jinze couldn't bear to see this situation, he restrained the displeasure in his heart, looked at Li Song and said: "Since the second uncle is here in person, the nephew will rush to Shangshu Mansion first!" β
In this carriage, Li Jinze didn't take the carriage anymore, pulled the reins, and left quickly on the horse.
In this winter, the horse ran fast, and the cold and biting wind blew on Li Jinze's face like a knife, but he felt that his heart was the coldest.
