Chapter 84: I Will Never Marry You!
Shen Ninghua had just sat down, and Baili Anning on the side hurriedly whispered hello to her: "Ninghua, you are finally back." ”
"Thank you princess for your concern, the smell on your body has been much lighter, and when I settle down and continue to prescribe medicine for you, it will be all right soon." Baili Anning looked excited, the worry in his eyes didn't seem to be fake, and the genuine concern made Shen Ninghua's mood relax a lot.
Baili Anning smiled happily: "Don't worry, now the smell on my body is not so pungent, and I can cover it with some incense powder, even if I don't treat it, I am very grateful to you." Although without this smell, she will definitely come into the eyes of the royal family, and may even be used as a tool for marriage, but she is willing, she no longer wants to live that kind of isolated life.
Shen Ninghua smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and gestured to her slightly, appreciating her open-minded attitude: "A glass to the princess." ”
Baili Anning smiled warmly: "I also respect you." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, then each took a sip of their drink.
Zhao Huiying's voice full of smiles immediately sounded: "Your Majesty, look at it, the relationship between Ning Hua and An Ning is not ordinary, we have just had a banquet, and they have already paid tribute to each other." ”
Everyone looked at Shen Ninghua one after another following the queen's words, and for a while the place where she was sitting became the focus of everyone.
The Shen family encountered a wrong prescription, which can be said to have hurt the people. And Shen Ninghua, as the concubine of the Shen family, should have been affected, but she helped to research the real prescription, not only favored by the emperor, but also recognized as a righteous daughter who made great contributions, people have to admire her luck, but I don't know how the county lord should deal with himself when the emperor deals with the Shen family.
Shen Ninghua didn't care about everyone's eyes at all, and stood up directly against everyone's various eyes: "Father, when I was in Jiangnan, many people asked me, saying that when I returned to the capital to face the saints, I must thank the emperor on their behalf." Please also ask the emperor to allow me to bow and kowtow to you. ”
Baili Qingcang's heart moved, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face: "Okay, then you can come forward." ”
Shen Ninghua smiled and walked calmly to the center of the hall.
Everyone's eyes unconsciously moved with her, and some even wanted to see her ugly, and deliberately put all the coercion and evil qi on her with their eyes.
For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was solidified, and it was clear that the Manchu Dynasty was full of civil and military personnel, and it was full of people, but it was a strange needle drop that could be heard, and there was no sound at all.
Shen Ninghua didn't seem to notice the abnormalities around him, every step was steady, and the distance between his steps seemed to be exactly the same.
Coming to the center of the main hall, she stood up straight, gently arranged the unwrinkled skirt, and knelt down gracefully and smoothly. She performed the most solemn bow in the Da'an Dynasty, nine bows and nine bows, plus various connecting actions, and the movements were complicated and took a long time. Generally, this kind of etiquette is only practiced by hundreds of officials when the emperor ascends the throne.
Now she bowed solemnly, like a pilgrimage, and that solemn feeling made people unconsciously restrain their own breath.
Shen Ninghua did not get up after the salute, but knelt on the ground and looked up at the hundred miles on the throne: "The people of Jiangnan have no chance to bow and thank the emperor in person, I have the honor to do it on my behalf, I wish my emperor long live, long live, long live!" ”
Baili Qingcang got up and walked down the steps, and personally stepped forward to help her up, with an excited emotion in his eyes: "I have received the people's wishes, thank you for your hard work, Ninghua." ”
Shen Ninghua smiled, her curved eyebrows and eyes were full of a fine piece of light, which made people unconsciously happy with her.
Baili Qing Cang said refreshingly: "I am happy today, you Aiqing don't have to be formal, you don't have to be drunk tonight!" ”
"Thank you, Lord Long."
The emperor is happy, and even if he is a courtier, he has to be happy, and a banquet is extraordinarily lively. Baili Qingcang and Zhao Huiying also gave extra face, and it was not until the end of the banquet that the emperor and queen left the venue.
Shen Ninghua had already been toasted a lot when he left, although his back was still straight, but his steps were a lot more fluttering. Princess An Ning held one of her arms with some concern: "Ning Hua, I have already asked people to prepare a sobering soup, and you can drink it when you return to your residence." ”
Shen Ninghua smiled softly: "Thank you princess, I have nothing to do." ”
"You still say it's okay." Baili Anning raised her eyes and glared at her, but saw that Shen Ninghua's cheeks were slightly red, her clear eyes were full of rippling water, and her beautiful face was full of radiant smiles, and even her heart was pounding when she saw it, "Don't drink in front of others in the future." ”
Fortunately, she looks cold on weekdays, and if she smiles like she does all day long, then I don't know how many men in Kyoto will be haunted by her.
Shen Ninghua didn't seem to hear clearly, and asked in a foggy voice: "What?" ”
Looking at the face leaning in front of him, Baili Anning snorted: "You are glad that it was you who supported me, and someone else would have thrown you out a long time ago." ”
Shen Ninghua smiled: "Then you just throw it and try it to see if anyone picks it up." ”
"Father loves you so much, I threw you away now, won't he throw me out of the palace tomorrow?"
"It's okay, it's okay, you throw it and see." I don't know if it's the effect of alcohol, Shen Ninghua doesn't have a cold mask, and he looks a little sticky.
"Sister, hurry up and throw it away, I'm ready to pick it up." Baili Jinchuan walked over from the side and looked at Shen Ninghua with a smile on her face, she didn't expect her to be so funny after she was drunk.
"Second brother, why are you here?" They were already about to walk to the West Palace where the princesses lived, and if it wasn't for deliberately, Baili Jinchuan would not have appeared in this place.
Shen Ninghua let go of Princess An Ning's hand, raised her head and looked at him with a misty look: "I said it very clearly before, has the prince of the county forgotten?" ”
Princess An Ning's heart trembled, and between the second brother and Ning Hua...... Could it be that something happened in Gangnam?
Baili Jinchuan's face remained unchanged, and he turned his head to look at Baili Anning: "Anning, you go back first, I have something to say to Ning Hua." ”
"Second brother, my sister-in-law often comes to the palace to see me these days, I heard that the banquet is over at this time, I should be in a hurry, don't you go back soon?" Although the second brother is good, she feels that Ning Hua will not be willing to be involved with him.
Baili Jinchuan smiled: "You help her, don't worry, I'll just say a few words, and I'll go back later." ”
"Well, I have always believed in the second brother, then I'll go first, Ning Hua, I'll go back and watch people make sobering soup first, and you'll be back later."
Shen Ninghua nodded obediently: "Well, the princess will go first." ”
When Baili Anning walked away, Baili Jinchuan approached Shen Ninghua and reached out to hold her arm: "Ninghua, are you drunk?" ”
Shen Ninghua raised her eyes to look at him, with a hint of a smile on her lips: "How do you know I'm drunk if you're not?" ”
"Hehe, if you were sober, you would never talk like you do now."
"It's as if you know me very well," Shen Ninghua shook off his hand, walked to the side of the railing, leaned on it and looked at the light and shadow on the water, squinting his eyes very pleasantly, "I have made it very clear to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, I am not a concubine, and I dare not try to climb your high branch, so don't beat my idea." ”
"What if I marry you as a concubine?"
Shen Ninghua frowned and looked at him: "What, you want to kill your second princess for me?" ”
Baili Jinchuan looked serious, and his voice was seductive: "If you want me, I can do it for you." ”
"I don't want to!" Shen Ninghua turned his head suddenly, "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, I still have some appreciation for you now, don't wear out all this appreciation." ”
Baili Jinchuan sneered: "What if it's gone, what I want is your liking, not dispensable appreciation." ”
Shen Ninghua stared at him seriously, and the smile on his face disappeared without a trace: "Since you pretend not to understand my hints, then I will make it clear, I will not marry you." ”
"And who do you want to marry? Baili Jinze? I heard that he is also secretly approaching you, my fifth brother is the most gentle, good at considerate women, but he has more considerate people, don't be fooled. ”
Shen Ninghua was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed: "You really deserve to be brothers, Baili Jinze said that you have a concubine, you said that he is gentle and affectionate, and it is a tacit understanding to tear each other down." ”
"Ning Hua, do you really have a crush on him?" A hint of gloom flashed in Baili Jinchuan's eyes.
Shen Ninghua restrained her smile, tilted her head slightly to look at him, neither admitting nor denying it: "Do you think with my posture and means, can I firmly grasp his heart?" ”
A wave of anger rose in Baili Jinchuan's heart: "You can grasp it for a while, but you can't grasp it for a lifetime, and when you have no appearance, he will definitely not look at you." ”
"Haha, it's as if you can love me for the rest of your life, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, it's really funny."
"You ......" Baili Jinchuan clenched her fists, she was angry with herself, but she was reluctant to punish her, "Ning Hua, I will also make it clear today." You can only marry me, and no one else can even think about it! Go back quickly, there is a palace maid waiting to guide you in front, and I will go first. ”
Shen Ninghua leaned on the railing, letting the evening breeze blow her hair, and it took a while for her to raise her hand to press down the hair in her ears, and her deep eyes were clear, without the slightest mist just now.
Baili Jinchuan was extremely proud, she didn't want to have a bad relationship with him now, so she wanted to use the strength of the wine to make the words of refusal clear, but she didn't expect him to be not only proud, but also more stubborn.
A fluttering figure fell from the trees on the side, and the black clothes also blended into the night, and it was difficult for people to find if they didn't look closely: "I came at the right time, just in time to see the best part." ”
Shen Ninghua turned around suddenly, saw the appearance of the person who came, and his expression eased slightly: "The one who just attended the banquet was Ye Yi, who replaced you after Yi Rong, since you are back, why didn't you go to the reception banquet?" ”
The person who came was Chu Junyi, he had changed back to the appearance of the righteous son of the Xiao family, and his demonic face had been replaced by a handsome appearance, and he was really unaccustomed to it:
"Naturally, there are more important things to do, tomorrow will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and I am afraid that there will be rewards and punishments, a few days ago, someone went to visit your father and others in the prison, and there will be changes tomorrow, you should pay more attention."
"Who's going to the prison?"
"Prince."
