Chapter 274: Pulling the Strings
Compared with Xue Ying's shocked face, Shi Qingqian's reaction when he heard the news was already expected.
After all, the person who can make this arrogant and innocent history book condense his innocence is not an idle person.
If the crown prince Shen Xuan directly used his sedan chair to send Shi Shuning back to the Hou Mansion, Shi Qingqian could not be called surprised, after all, Shen Xuan married seven or eight concubines at the age of fifteen, this person's lust and courage are already obvious, and with the coquettish ability of his fifth sister, maybe Shi Shuning can really marry this Shen Xuan.
Thinking of a sentence that is very suitable for Shi Shuning and Shen Xuan - "Γ son with dog, forever", Shi Qingqian unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.
"Ying'er, why be so surprised, the fifth sister is so 'excellent', it is only a matter of time before she can be seen by His Royal Highness the Prince." Shi Qingqian stood up and walked out with Xue Ying.
Xue Ying was very puzzled by Shi Qingqian's reaction, and gently wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, looking more worried than the person concerned, "But Miss...... If these five young ladies become the crown princess, will she climb on top of you soon?! Why are you still so leisurely and elegant, speaking for those five young ladies......"
"But I'm telling the truth...... My fifth sister and the crown prince Shen Xuan are a match made in heaven. Shi Qingqian deliberately showed an aggrieved expression.
Xue Ying, this little girl, has not heard the sentence that is widely spread in the 21st century, and when she has time in the future, she must explain it to her.
Shi Qingqian pushed Xue Ying, "Okay Ying'er, you have to believe me, in short, it is not a bad thing for Shi Shuning to really marry Shen Xuan, so not only can we not get in the way, but we also have to help her." β
When the two of them walked towards the gate of the Hou Mansion together, they bumped into the eldest lady and the second lady on the way, and they were also hurrying over there, needless to say, they were also shocked because they heard this.
When everyone arrived, they happened to see Shi Shuning slowly walking down from the sedan chair with Shen Xuan's support.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Why did you personally send Sister Ning back? Seeing this, the eldest lady's eyes widened in shock, she rarely spoke, and now she was really frightened.
The crown prince Shen Xuan, who was standing with his hands behind his back, coughed lightly twice, and pulled his eyes full of lust off Shi Shuning's body, "Ahem, haha...... The prince went out today, and happened to meet Miss Ning and her maidservant girl walking on the road, this question, only to know that it was the lord of your family's Baoying County who left his sister on the way, and the prince couldn't bear it, so he sent Miss Ning back. β
Hearing this, Shi Qingqian caught a glimpse of the eldest lady casting a reassuring glance at him.
The doctor will not scold Shi Qingqian because of Shen Xuan's words, thoughts, Shi Shu's thoughts are not right, what can Shi Qingqian do if she loses her?
Shi Qingqian retracted his gaze, but happened to look at the gloating expression of the lady in the second room.
The expression seemed to say: You thought you left my Ning'er, and now you have made a dowry for Ning'er, you must be repentant in your intestines, right?
She smiled lightly, stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words are wrong, it is true that the courtiers don't care about the fifth sister, but there is a reason for it." β
"Hmph, what's your reason?" Shen Xuan snorted coldly, he had seen Shi Qingqian's tongue skills, and he couldn't say anything good about her.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know, my fifth sister has always admired His Royal Highness the Prince, in order to wait for the unexpected encounter with your slim chance, the fifth sister has suffered a lot, today I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince happened to be out of the palace, so I thought about the beauty of adults, the fifth sister is introverted and gentle, and I will not dare to deliberately go to meet with you." Shi Qingqian owed a debt and continued, "The fifth sister has said in the ears of the courtiers that the prince is handsome and mighty, and I, as a younger sister, how can I watch my sister's lovesickness hold back in my heart? β
"This ...... Is this true? Shen Xuan's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this.
According to Shi Qingqian, he is a suave appearance in Shi Shuning's heart. Not to mention an arrogant person like the prince, he is an ordinary man, when he heard that there was a dignified girl who admired him for a long time, he would be happy for a while, and here in Shen Xuan, such a sense of superiority is even worse.
He listened happily, and for a while he forgot Shi Qingqian's flamboyant tongue, and said with a smile: "Miss Ning, is it really as Lord Baoying said?" β
Shi Shu was stunned for a moment, she didn't know why this Shi Qingqian wanted to help herself, but after thinking about it, her words didn't hurt her, so she blushed and nodded: "His Royal Highness the Prince...... The seventh sister is young, but she is straightforward, please don't go to your heart......"
Seeing her shyness, even though she said, 'Don't go to your heart', Shen Xuan was already convinced.
He suddenly smiled obscenely, reached out and touched the bun hanging down from Shi Shu Ning's ear, his eyes were extraordinarily deep, "Miss Ning, you are also tired, hurry back and rest, the prince of Japan will send someone to send you something to replenish your body." β
Hooked!
Shi Shuning's heart was secretly cool, and the hand hidden in the wide sleeve was also clenched into a fist, she bowed delicately and weakly, looking at Shen Xuan's eyes with affection, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to bother with his courtiers......"
"Hey, this prince said yes, then he wanted!" Shen Xuan gently helped Shi Shuning up, turned around and got into the sedan chair behind him, "Okay, Miss Ning, go back and rest quickly, this prince still has government affairs in his body, so he can't stay longer." β
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Princeβ"
Shi Qingqian laughed secretly, it was really rare, Shen Xuan said that he 'had government affairs in his body', he really didn't pretend to be Γ would die.
As soon as the prince's men and horses left, the eldest lady said with a gloomy face: "Sister Ning, what's going on?" β
Shi Shuning felt aggrieved, and was very unconvinced in his heart, and scolded in his heart: This eldest lady must be jealous that she is about to become the crown princess and is about to overpower her own daughter.
"Mother...... It's just as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said...... Ning'er didn't do anything. Shi Shu Ning frowned, and his eyes were about to overflow.
The eldest lady's face sank, she no longer paid attention to her, turned her head to Shi Qingqian and said, "Sister! You come with me! β
In fact, it's not that she can't see Shi Shuning's good, it's just that the political stance of the Hou Mansion is completely opposite to the prince, and the two of them have long become incompatible.
Shi Qingqian knew that the eldest lady must blame herself for speaking for Shi Shuning, so she didn't panic in her heart, stuck out her tongue, and said softly: "Mother, you lost the fifth sister, it's your fault, can you allow me to make amends to the fifth sister first and then go to you?" β
The eldest lady turned her back and thought for a moment, but finally nodded, did not look back at Shi Qingqian, and strode away.
Leaving only three people, Shi Qingqian glanced at the second lady and said softly: "Second lady, can I borrow a step to talk to my sister?" β
