Chapter 17 No Hands and Feet
"However, you must promise my sister three conditions." Sheng Zimo had his own calculations in his heart, and smiled like a fox.
Seeing that there was room for maneuver, Nangong Sheng ignored the ominous rise in his heart, nodded and agreed, "As long as it's not too much, don't say three, it's thirty or three hundred, and the master should be you." β
Sheng Zimo was so happy in his heart, for fear that this guy would regret it, he immediately stretched out his right index finger and said the first condition, "Sister, regardless of whether there is a holy marriage between you and me, before my sister fully accepts you, you can't do anything to your sister, let alone force your sister, otherwise, your sister will run away at any time." β
Nangong Sheng can't wait to take back what he just said, what does it mean that he can't move his hands and feet, he is a normal man, he wants to marry her as a concubine, the only concubine in this life, if he can't even do this, then wouldn't he be very pitiful? Sad?
"Can you get another one?" Nangong Sheng tried his best to make his tone less terrifying.
Sheng Zimo didn't say a word, turned around and prepared to flee.
"Don't! Father...... Promise you! Nangong Sheng stiffened his brows and agreed. Isn't there still a premise of "before full acceptance", there is a way for you to accept!
Sheng Zimo stretched out his middle finger and continued to put forward the conditions, "Sister is in the light, the enemy is in the dark, and it is extremely risky for my sister to return to Kyoto to take revenge, so my sister needs an accomplice." And you owe your sister 5,000 taels of silver, and in the name of your sister's fiancΓ©, you must unconditionally assist your sister on the road to revenge. β
There is no difficulty in this condition, Nangong Sheng nodded directly.
"Third, my sister is now deaf and mute, and before my sister doesn't want to return to normal, you must accompany my sister to perform the play to the end." Being deaf and dumb can save you a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"No problem." After the three conditions were raised, except for the first one, the remaining two were not a problem in Nangong Sheng's opinion.
Although this guy is arrogant, he is a prince, and his words should be counted. Sheng Zimo beckoned to the little demon and told her in her ear, nothing more than not to expose her in front of outsiders that she could hear and talk about it. The little demon naturally listened to her everything, and nodded again and again, "The little demon wrote it down." β
The conditions were negotiated, and the three of them walked towards the official road.
"Master." Dark One and Dark Two greeted their grandfather while peeping at Sheng Zimo. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you can't take your eyes off it when you look at it. The woman that their grandfather picked up in the field was born with such a good appearance, which was comparable to the top brand of Baihualou and the eldest lady of the Shangguan family. This woman is also followed by a charming little girl, aren't these two goblins?
Suddenly, a strong wind struck, and large bruises appeared on both dark and dark foreheads at the same time.
"Look again, you gouge out your eyeballs!" Nangong Sheng took Sheng Zimo's hand and went straight to the sedan chair.
Dark covered his face, aggrieved, "How can you hit someone for no reason?" β
Dark Er suddenly realized that they had just spied on Ye's prey, so Ye was very angry. Touching his hot forehead, Dark Er reminded his silly brother, "From now on, don't look at your prey." He had a bad feeling that they would probably be beaten up more often in the future.
......
Kyoto.
Sheng Tianke returned to the Sheng Mansion with a depressed expression. As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Sheng stepped forward and couldn't wait to know the result, "What did the old prince say?" β
Sheng Tianke sighed heavily, "The old prince is not in good health, and it is inconvenient to see guests. For the emperor's marriage, he went to Dingwangfu for five days in a row to see the old prince, and every time he was closed. I haven't even seen the face of the old prince, how can I fight for Zilan for this family business?
When Mrs. Sheng heard this, she was so anxious, "Then what should I do?" This family affair was personally decided by the old prince and the lord, how can you say that you regret it? Master, you say, will it be the old prince's idea to regret the marriage? Otherwise, how could the old prince not get sick early and late, but he was sick at this time? β
Sheng Tianke didn't think about it, and shook his head directly, "Impossible." How much does the old prince attach importance to Zilan, others don't know, don't you know? This family affair was proposed by the old prince himself, our family Zilan has been well-behaved and self-respecting all these years, and has never done anything that damages the reputation of the girl, how can the old prince regret his marriage? In my opinion, this should be the king's idea. β
"In that case, why did the old prince avoid it?" Mrs. Sheng said suspiciously.
"When the old prince was young, he fought in all directions, and he fell ill, and now he is old, and it is not impossible for him to be unwell. The family affairs of King Ding and Zilan, the old prince will support it very much, standing in our Sheng family, I am just worried that King Ding will come. "If other people report to him that the old prince is not in good health, he can not believe it, but Hood is the personal attendant of the old prince, and what he says is extremely credible.
"No matter how capable the king is, can he surpass the old prince?" Mrs. Sheng has confidence in her heart, Zilan and King Ding's family affairs have already been decided, how can she allow others to stir up, even if this matter is in front of the emperor, it is the Sheng family's reason, "Master, or you write a letter for Hu De to forward to the old prince." Since Hu De is the person next to the old prince, he can naturally be trusted. β
Sheng Tianke nodded, "That's all I can do." β
Sheng Zilan heard that his father had returned home, and hurriedly ran to the study to inquire about the situation, "Dad, did the old prince say anything?" Although she had never seen the old prince, she knew that in the eyes of the old prince, she was different. Because, she is the daughter-in-law of the old prince who personally gave the king!
Sheng Tianke told Sheng Zilan about the old prince's poor health, and comforted, "Daddy, send a letter to the old prince." This family affair was decided by the old prince, and the king wanted to change it, so he had to pass the old prince's pass. β
Sheng Zilan nodded obediently, "My daughter listens to her father." "With the old prince here, her relationship with King Ding cannot be changed. As for the wild woman outside Nangong Sheng, she must find a way to rectify it well, so that she knows that there is a price to be paid for robbing other people's men!
Back in the courtyard, Sheng Zilan explained her thoughts to Mrs. Sheng, she didn't believe it, and the king could disobey the old prince and the old princess, "Mother, the old princess is quite satisfied with her daughter, and she personally promised to organize the wedding for King Ding and her daughter." The daughter went to the palace to report the matter to the old princess, and asked the old princess to come forward to stop King Ding's crazy moves. β
Mrs. Sheng agreed with her daughter's proposal, "Okay, you go and come back quickly." β
Sheng Zilan dressed up carefully, gritted his teeth, and took out the jasper hairpin that had been treasured for more than ten years from the drawer, ready to give it to the old princess as a gift. This jasper hairpin is a birthday gift given to her by her grandmother, and it is said to be the ancestral treasure of the Sheng family, and she has been reluctant to wear it, believing that the old princess will like it.
The carriage of the Sheng family stopped at the gate of the palace. The guards guarding the door were guessing that it was not Sheng Xiang who was going to return, only to see a little girl running over and handing over the letter of worship from Sheng Mansion, "Our eldest lady asks to see the old princess, please report on your behalf." β
Although Sheng Zilan is not a frequent visitor to the Dingwang Mansion, but because of her status as the future princess, the people in the palace have special respect for her, and every time she shows the prayer post, the guards will rush to report it. This time, the guard guarding the door did not move at all, and said politely, "The old princess is unwell, and it is inconvenient to see guests. β
Sheng Zilan was so anxious that she gritted her teeth in the sedan chair, but she was everyone's best girl, so she couldn't show her head, so she could only go home.
