Chapter 272: Entering the Game - The Beginning
"Could it be that it is really a hero who is sad to pass the beauty pass, that is, even Prince Heng, who has always been cold and hard-hearted and not close to women, is not exempt from vulgarity?" Who in the imperial capital does not know that Prince Heng Shangguan Qingyue and Prince Yu Shangguan Hanyue are completely different existences, Shangguan Hanyue is a frequent visitor to the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou in the imperial capital, but Shangguan Qingyue has never entered those Fengyue places, and now there are six out of twenty, and there is not even a concubine in the house, and the only side concubine He Mingyan has only entered the gate of the prince's mansion because of such disgraceful reasons.
"Miss, in the past, you always thought that the eldest lady marrying into Prince Heng's mansion was just wishful thinking, and a cold-faced and hard-hearted person like Prince Heng would not be happy with any woman." He Xiang saw the two people sitting opposite each other across the stone table in the gazebo in the distance, no matter how you look at it, they all look like concubines.
Don't say that it is lotus fragrance, but Ning Moru is also a little scared now, in the past, Ning Moru and Ning Banghua had a close relationship, and naturally knew more things than others, among which there were false rumors about Prince Heng's love for Ning Banghua, those rumors were just spread by the Bai family secretly looking for someone to spread, the purpose was to let those noble ladies who were eyeing Prince Heng's throne retreat.
"His Royal Highness Prince Heng used to snub his eldest sister." Ning Moru recalled all the things in the past, and said to herself, "In the past, His Royal Highness Prince Heng clearly did not want to see the eldest sister, and every time Prince Heng did not want to see him, the eldest sister was proud on the surface, and after returning to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, she was so angry that she smashed the bowl on the ground. ”
He Xiang looked at Ning Banghua, who was surrounded by all the noble ladies not far away, and was very puzzled in her heart, so she persuaded: "Miss, if we don't offend the eldest lady, if the eldest lady really has the blue eyes of Prince Heng, how can the second miss fight on her own?" ”
Seeing that the fourth aunt relied on Ning Fanzhi's favor and lived a better life than all the aunts in the Zuo Xiang's mansion, even the Bai family, who was the housewife, although she hated the fourth aunt behind her back, she had to look at Ning Fanzhi's sake and acquiesce to the dignity and glory of the fourth aunt.
It is precisely because Ning Moru has always known that the identity of the master mother is one thing, and the favor of her husband is another, as long as she Ning Banghua does not get the favor of Shangguan Qingqiao, the identity of Prince Heng and Princess Heng is just a gorgeous but heart-cutting coat.
"Impossible, how can she be favored by her husband? Why? Ning Moru looked at the seemingly harmonious picture in the distance, and naturally felt burning hatred in her heart, why did she Ning Moru marry into the Anguo Mansion for the sake of glory and wealth, and she would not get the favor of her husband for the sake of glory and wealth, and she would rather Banghua also for the sake of glory and wealth, and was willing to give up the beloved Su Mowen in her heart, and instead marry into Prince Heng's mansion, but she could get the favor of her husband.
"Miss, be quiet, you are a pregnant person now, if someone sees you so angry, won't you provoke trouble again." He Xiang saw the hatred in Ning Moru's eyes, and the emotions that were about to get out of control, and hurriedly dragged her to no one's place.
It's no wonder that Ning Moru couldn't figure out why Shangguan Qingqiao suddenly changed his temperament, in fact, Ning Moru was not the only one who couldn't figure it out, it was Ning Banghua who could be treated so favorably by Shangguan Qingqiao, and he felt flattered in his heart.
I'm afraid that only the cold feelings who followed Shangguan Qingyun knew that the person in front of him was not the real Shangguan Qingyun at all, but Shangguan Fengming, who was covered with the human skin and mask made by Ning Zhixuan.
Since Shangguan Hanyue knew about the cooperation between Ning Zhixuan and Shangguan Qingyu, Shangguan Fengming naturally knew about it, and for the sake of Mingsa's face, Shangguan Fengming naturally wanted to take over this errand that would please Ning Wanhua and attract everyone's attention.
Shangguan Fengming was covered with Shangguan Qingyuan's human skin, and the mask won Ning Banghua's favor, but Shangguan Hanyue and Ning Zhixuan stood side by side, looking into the distance for a long time.
No one had the intention of speaking first, and in the end, Ning Zhixuan broke the silence and said, "Thank you for today's events." ”
Shangguan Hanyue glanced at Ning Zhiyun and asked, "Da En is not grateful, how are you going to thank me?" ”
Ning Zhiyun didn't say anything for a long time, and in the end, Shangguan Hanyue thought that she wouldn't answer, so she said in a light but firm tone: "Great kindness, I'm afraid there is no way to repay it." ”
Shangguan Hanyue seemed to have expected Ning Zhixuan to answer like this, although she was a little disappointed in her heart, the corners of her lips still pulled up a disapproving smile and said, "Then let's owe it first." ”
As smart as Ning Zhiyun, how could she not know that Shangguan Hanyue just wanted to hear her say, "You and I don't have to say thank you", Ning Zhiyun knew it, but she would never say it.
Because there were many people in the palace, in order not to be targeted, Ning Zhiyun temporarily came up with the idea of asking Shangguan Fengming to pretend to be Shangguan Qingyun to attract everyone's attention.
"I didn't expect the Seventh Prince to pretend to be His Royal Highness Prince Heng, but he looks like him." Su Xin looked at Shangguan Qingyun dressed by Shangguan Fengming not far away, and came to such a conclusion, and then didn't forget to glance at Shangguan Qingqiao who was also covered with a red gold mask next to him.
In order to hide people's eyes and attract everyone's attention, Shangguan Fengming pretended to be Shangguan Qingqiao, and Mingsa was covered with a mask made of human skin, and dressed up as a cold appearance to accompany the fake Shangguan Qingqiao.
"It's just that I pity the cold guard, in order not to be discovered, I can only stay in the stable in the palace." Su Xin glanced at Shangguan Qingyu with a red gold mask, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic and really cold in his heart.
"Leng Qing has always been a good horse, and the lightning in the palace is taken care of by him." Shangguan Qingqiao is now wearing a red gold mask, although he can't see his face, but from his voice, he can still imagine his ice cube face.
Su Xin heard Shangguan Qingqiao say that cold love is good for horses, but she actually had some doubts in her heart, she clearly remembered that there was a time when cold feelings were very headaches and she had to scrub the horse's body for lightning.
"Ah......h Ah Wei ...... "In a certain corner of the palace, wearing a luxurious prince's uniform, he could only squat in the stable sadly, counting the mane on the horse's tail, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.
"Now that the emperor has made a clear decree for His Royal Highness to marry the eldest lady, His Royal Highness only needs to try his best to treat the eldest lady with a pleasant face, and everything will develop in the direction that the young lady preset." Su Xin looked at Shangguan Qingqiao, who was now sitting across the table from the pretending Shangguan Qingqiao, and pretended to be shy and said, "Miss has a few words to bring to Your Highness, even if you don't want to see the eldest lady in your heart, a scene like today will have to go after all, after all, Miss can't go back and find someone to pretend to be His Royal Highness and deceive the eldest lady." ”
Ning Zhiwen's meaning is very clear, if Ning Wanhua is not allowed to feel like she is being lifted into the sky, how can she taste the taste of falling into hell in the future.
"Go back and tell your young lady, this king can't make a mistake here, but she, don't ruin this king's plan for those unnecessary drags at that time." As Shangguan Qingyu spoke, his eyes were already looking at the gazebo in the distance, Ning Wanran, who was restless, and the little maid in plain clothes.
Hearing Shangguan Qingyun's words, Su Xin felt weak for no reason, compared to Shangguan Qingyun's cold face and cold heart, Ning Zhiyun really had too much drag around him, if it wasn't for Ning Wanran this time, presumably Ning Zhiyun wouldn't have to take the risk to see Shangguan Hanyue.
"Don't worry, the emperor has only given the marriage verbally, as long as there is no explicit decree to give the marriage, there is still room for change." Ning Zhixuan seemed to be afraid that Shangguan Hanyue would be uneasy, and continued, "Although the Son of Heaven promises a thousand gold, I will definitely think of a way to ruin this marriage." ”
"I don't have anything to worry about." Shangguan Hanyue shrugged her shoulders and said, "Carrying the name of the Merry Man like me......"
"Don't ......" Ning Zhiyun heard that Shangguan Hanyue wanted to go to Emperor Qi in person to reject the marriage, and in a hurry, she stopped it loudly, "The monarch and the minister, father and son, you and the emperor are the first monarch and minister, and then the father and son, if you rashly refuse the marriage given by the emperor, even if the emperor reluctantly agrees, it will hurt the father-son relationship between you and the emperor, in case you encounter the instigation of someone again......" Ning Zhiyun said and was already shocked in her heart, she unconsciously showed her concern for Shangguan Hanyue.
When Ning Zhiyun was thinking about how to change the topic in her heart, Shangguan Hanyue reminded her: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart, but you are now embattled, you should be more careful." ”
"I'll be careful." Ning Zhiwen paused, but still advised, "I will eventually think of the best of both worlds, and I will definitely send you a message in less than a month." ”
"Okay." Shangguan Hanyue looked at Ning Zhixuan's slightly embarrassed appearance, so she urged, "You should also go back, so as not to make others suspicious." ”
Ning Zhiyun bowed slightly and then turned to leave, but there was a burst of warmth in her heart, Shangguan Hanyue was always like this today, asking Ning Zhiyun to repay herself in a joking tone, but when Ning Zhiyin was embarrassed and serious, she would quietly change the topic.
Now is not the time to think about the love of children, Ning Zhiyun shook her head fiercely when she was about to walk to the imperial garden, as if she wanted to abandon the throbbing in her heart and the chaotic thoughts in her head, so that she could concentrate on dealing with the complicated situation in front of her.
Su Xin deliberately touched the jade pendant hanging on her waist the moment she saw Ning Zhiyun, that is, the moment Shangguan Qingyun's jade pendant was dropped on the ground attracted her attention, Ning Zhiyun was already in the wind under her feet, and she avoided all her eyes and ears in the blink of an eye and came to Ning Wanran, who was located under the corridor.
"Second sister, you can be regarded as back." Ning Wanran glanced at the little maid beside her, who was trembling slightly, wearing the same clothes as Su Xin, and said, "I'm afraid that someone will come over, why hasn't Su Xin come back yet?" ”
"Now everyone's eyes are on the future princess-to-be, and no one will notice here." Ning Zhixuan saw that Ning Wanran was a little scared, so she said, "Su Xin will come back in a while." ”
