"Why would I know? Have they been engaged? Ning Shangmo looked at Zhu Ye suspiciously, and squinted his eyes slightly at her: "Do you know anything?" If you don't say it, I'll let you eat raw bitter gourd every night! ”

"Miss, I just, I know a little bit ......" Bamboo leaves hate bitter gourd the most, and she is also allergic to raw bitter gourd, if you are not careful, your life will be gone.

"Then you know how much to say!" Ning Shangmo said, and pulled the bamboo leaves to the main hall.

Even if the Prime Minister's Mansion has been cultivated, it is still the same poor and sour, and there is a 'selfless' plaque in the middle of the hall, which was given by the emperor when he was alive.

Ming Qingyan was still a little kid who could just walk at that time, the Ming family has been loyal to the Ming family for generations, his father is Dali Siqing, specializing in dealing with the lawsuits of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and often has the opportunity to enter the palace.

Ning Shangmo still remembered that at that time, she was just able to walk steadily, and she was catching butterflies in the imperial garden, and she happened to accidentally destroy a pot of Yao Huang, which was a precious peony that took seven years to cultivate, and there were only three plants in the world, which were very precious. The little palace maids who followed Ning Shangmo were all frightened, they just wanted to pull her away, Ning Shangmo was still a milk doll, she didn't know anything, she was having fun, and she didn't want to go.

It's good to die, the emperor is going to take advantage of the flowering period to go to the imperial garden to see this precious Yao Huang, just to see the delicate flowers the size of a small pot, which are already lifeless on the ground at the moment, and he is so angry that he will be assigned to the little palace maid beside Ning Shangmo.

Ming said lightly that the guy was at this time, with his hands behind his back, and walked down from the rockery in the imperial garden, and said in a childish voice: "Replace Mingjian, this matter is not the fault of this palace maid, but Her Royal Highness the princess accidentally plucked the flowers for a while, the ancients said that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, it is the fault of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and it should be punished by Her Royal Highness the Princess, not by punishing the maids around her for no reason." ”

Ning Shangmo didn't learn at that time, and he knew that the palace was making trouble all day long, and seeing that Ming said a bunch of words lightly, his father seemed to be very happy, so she nodded and said, "Yes, yes." ”

As a result, she was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall and didn't eat well all day, and the mother said that the emperor fined them a month of silver in the palace, so they could only eat vegetarian dishes for this month.

At this time, Ning Shangmo knew that Ming Qingyan's words were a trick for himself.

She suffered here, but Ming Qingyan was greatly praised by the emperor for that incident, and also got the word 'selfless' in this royal pen book, and made a plaque that has been hung in the house.

Every time Ning Shangmo saw this brand, he remembered the discomfort of kneeling in the ancestral hall that night, this Ming said lightly, although they have known each other since childhood, they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, but they really have no childhood sweethearts, this guy has been pit on her since she was a child, and it is still the same now.

"Miss...... You, don't be like this, what's the matter, I'll just say it! Zhu Ye was so frightened by Ning Shangmo's fierce expression that she trembled, she stood behind Ning Shangmo tremblingly, carefully looking at her expression.

Ning Shangmo came back to her senses when she heard this, she glared at the plaque, turned around and sat on the Taishi chair, her fingers lightly tapped the tabletop, and she had the posture of ascending to the court to try the case.

Zhuye stood aside and nodded repeatedly, she thought about it against her chin, nodded and said, "I remember that it was three years ago, didn't you go to the border to purchase medicinal herbs, or that batch of ramie and white myrtle, and brought back a pot of Yetan ......"

Ning Shangmo heard Zhu Ye say this, and also recalled that at that time, their Ning family's business was in the development period, and many of the medicinal materials purchased by his subordinates were of slightly insufficient quality.

At that time, she heard that there were parade merchants on the border, with good medicinal materials collected from ****, especially in the hands of a merchant named Zhu Tianpi, and there was a pot of Chinese New Year's Eve purchased from the royal family of the Western Regions.

Epiphany is a very precious medicinal material, coupled with the prevalence of witchcraft in the Western Regions, this flower that has bloomed for thousands of years is said to be a spell laid by the princess of the Western Regions, when it blooms in the middle of the night, it will exude fairy energy and eliminate all kinds of diseases.

Most of the reasons for Ning Shangmo's trip were for the epiphany, she brought ten people and five boxes of gold just to bring the epiphany back.

On that trip to the north, Ning Shangmo suffered a lot, but fortunately, he also brought back the epiphany in the end, and now he is well kept in the Lan Pavilion, which can be regarded as the treasure of the town.

"That time you just left on the front foot, the back foot of the Ming Prime Minister was sent by the emperor to envoy to Beimeng, at that time it was said that Beimeng seemed to have the intention of attacking the border, you also know that our emperor had only ascended the throne for a long time at that time, and the court and China had not yet been rectified and perfected, and it was really unbearable to withstand the war." Bamboo leaf said colorfully.

When Ming Xiang left, there was a lot of pomp, and the send-off team was ten miles away.

Ming Qingyan was persuaded to make peace in the past, he was clever in his words, and he could be said to be alive when he died, and it was not unheard of to persuade other countries, and it was precisely because he went to the eight countries around him that he achieved his reputation as a virtuous man.

Beimeng has always been fighting on horseback, and the people are fierce, and many civil servants are afraid of it. Ming Qingyan has always been sick and crooked, and at that time, it was not that no one in the court was worried, he would die in Beimeng like this.

The strange thing is that Ming Qingyan couldn't help but not die, and after going to Beimeng for three months, the princess of Beimeng specially sent envoys over to discuss peace with Emperor Daling, saying that she wanted Ming Qingyan to stay in Beimeng and be her Tuoba Yanling's concubine.

"yes, it's an old acquaintance." Ning Shangmo sneered, and his eyes gradually revealed indifference.

Zhu Ye saw Ning Shangmo like this, and knew that she was angry, and hurriedly said: "But neither the prime minister nor the emperor agreed, the prime minister persuaded the princess, isn't this a good return, uncle, he still has a young lady in his heart." ”

"Really? I didn't even see that, how did you see it? Ning Shangmo raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at Zhu Ye with a smile, she was so frightened that Zhu Ye was cold, and before she could say anything, she heard Ning Shangmo snort coldly: "People have chased after me, this is called solved?" ”

Zhu Ye didn't dare to speak, she knew about it, but she shouldn't have said it.

After all, at that time, Ning Shangmo was in the north and almost died, but Ming Qingyan didn't save her, if it weren't for that incident, maybe the relationship between the two of them wouldn't be so bad now.

"Actually, miss...... I think what happened back then, in fact, you can ask your uncle, maybe there is any misunderstanding in this......" Zhuye whispered, she shrunk her neck, thinking that Ning Shangmo would punish her, but Ning Shangmo never spoke.

She quietly raised her eyes to look at Ning Shangmo, but saw that Ning Shangmo was just staring at her wrist in a daze.

There was once a deep scar on the smooth wrist, and it took her two full years to completely erase the scar. Zhu Ye thought that the young lady didn't care anymore, but she still cared, the scar on her wrist could be eliminated, but the one in her heart had never healed.

"Miss......" Takeba called softly.

Ning Shangmo just shook her head, waved her hand to let the bamboo leaves go down, and she sat alone for a while, then went back to her room to sleep.

There was always something blocking her chest, and she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, so she simply rolled over and sat up.

Three years ago, around this season, she took people and gold, looking for the parade merchant in the streets of the north, the kind of place in the north, the remoteness, the climate is not good, the whole year is cold and hot, and it was the winter in the north when she went.

Winter crops grow silently, the people are not happy, even if she has gold, she has no place to buy food, lives in an inn, looks for people everywhere during the day and sleeps quietly at night, Ning Shangmo still feels that life is so difficult for the first time.

She didn't care about herself until she felt like she was about to become a yellow-faced woman here, and finally found someone.

It's just that the marching merchants just came, and then the robbers also came.

That kind of place is high and the emperor is far away, the people do business during the day, take the time to block the road and rob and fight the jungle, the official mansion is almost a decoration, only the soldiers on the border can deter people, but Ning Shangmo has given up the identity of the eldest princess at that time, and she is just the eldest lady of the Ning family.

She was also naïve at that time, and she was always reluctant to ask for help from others, and she thought that it was the capital, and she would pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.

But after all, she was too young, and as soon as she had finished trading with the merchant, the merchant took the robber to the inn where she was staying, and when the innkeeper saw that there was a fat sheep, he actually joined the bandits, and the two groups of people joined forces and tied her to a wooden house in the col.

The people she brought over were also drugged and tied up, and for ten whole days, they desperately saved a person to go out to ventilate and report the news, she didn't know that Ming Qingyan was in Beimeng, only a few dozen miles away from her, and thought he was far away in the capital.

After another ten days, waiting day after day, finally despaired, watching the entourage around her being starved to death one by one, Ning Shangmo was helpless, and began to pretend to be obedient, and finally on the twenty-fifth day after being caught, she seized the gap of the robbers' negligence and fled with her waist card.

She went directly to the barracks, asked for a team of soldiers with her royal waist card, took the robbers to the nest, and took back the gold and medicinal materials.

When she returned to the city, she met the person who had gone to ventilate and report the news, and the man said that he went to find Ming Qingyan, but Ming Qingyan did not save him, so he had to go to the capital day and night to move the rescue troops, and the two teams met halfway, and by the way, they cleaned up some bandits.

I thought that person was far away in the capital and didn't want to move, but I didn't expect him to be intoxicated in the arms of a beauty and didn't want to care about her!

"So that's ......" Ning Shangmo laughed at himself, turned over and looked at the festively decorated room, and the thought of Princess Tuoba looking at Ming Qingyan came to mind, I saw a pitiful look, it's really strange, no wonder I asked for marriage in such a hurry.

Do you want to make her angry, do you want his image of being clear and soft-spoken to be deeply engraved in the memory of a foreign princess.

Is it that when the princess agrees to marry him, Ming Qingyan will always leave the book, anyway, they are both tired of each other, and that guy can't wait to divorce her.

"You bastard...... Ahhh Ning Shangmo scratched his head and shouted in disappointment.

Before the words fell, there was a knock on the door, it was the Ming family's servant.

"Madam, Xiangye said, today, today I will stay in the palace......"
