Chapter 108: Don't Touch Me Casually!
Bu Jinglan was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Shen Ninghua to refuse so bluntly, and an ungraspable streamer flashed in his eyes: "The county lord thinks about it carefully, and I won't bother." With that, he got up and left directly, without giving Shen Ninghua a chance to speak again.
Shen Ninghua put down the teacup in his hand and gently stroked his wrist, such a straightforward temptation, this sixth prince is really interesting.
From time to time, people gathered in the hall to cheer for Baili Anning who performed the guzheng, and Bu Jinglan chose a position not far away to stand, looking at it with a smile on his face, and making an admiring appearance from time to time.
After a long while, Baili Anning's playing ended, and the crowd immediately erupted in cheers. The ninth princess Baili Anqing didn't know if she was pushed by someone, and her feet were crooked and she almost fell to the ground.
Bu Jinglan on the side hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to hold her, bowed his head and asked, "What's wrong with the princess?" But sprained your foot? ”
Baili Anqing's face was flushed, and the whole person seemed to be burning, and nodded glutinously: "I didn't stand firm for a while, which made the six princes laugh." ”
"Where." Bu Jinglan smiled, gentle and calm, and saw the grandmother on the side step forward to support Baili Anqing, politely let go of her hand, and stayed away from two steps.
Shen Ninghua picked up the teacup to hide the smile on the corner of her lips, and a sneer crossed her heart, it seems that another good show will start singing next.
Because it was just a simple reception banquet, it didn't last too long, and after only an hour, the banquet was declared over.
After leaving the palace and returning to the county lord's mansion, Xia Jingqiu's grandmother immediately came to the door to ask for a meeting.
"County Lord, please find a doctor for our young lady, her condition is getting more and more serious, she has always had a high fever in the past few days, and the whole person has been confused."
Recently, Yang Yingxue's side was very quiet, and Shen Ninghua almost forgot about Cuizhuxuan: "What's wrong with my cousin?" Didn't my body get better some time ago, why did I still have a fever? ”
The grandmother cried with sadness: "The old slave doesn't know, and he has quietly hired a lot of doctors these days, but it is useless, and the young lady's condition has not been good......"
Shen Ninghua frowned: "Then why didn't you report it earlier?" ”
"The county lord is angry, Madame sees that the county lord is busy dealing with the funeral of the second princess, and needs to attend various banquets back and forth, I really can't bear to trouble you anymore, so I haven't told you all the time, if it weren't for the fact that these doctors haven't been able to cure the young lady recently, I don't want to tell the county lord."
Last time, Zhang Nian also said that Yang Yingxue took medicine that can make people have a high fever, but this time I don't know if she is really sick or pretending to be sick: "Bai Wei, come with me to take a look." ”
Cuizhuxuan is much more delicate than before, and there are beautifully trimmed potted plants in the yard, which are particularly pleasing to the eye: "Auntie, I heard that my cousin has been sick, and I have already asked people to ask for a doctor." ”
Xia Jingqiu was sitting on the edge of Yang Yingxue's bed, wiping her forehead with a handkerchief: "Ning Hua, you are here, if you can, I don't want to trouble you, but your cousin's situation is ......"
"The family doesn't talk to each other, and my aunt doesn't have to be polite to me, no matter how busy she is, she still has to do what she needs to do. Wait for the doctor to come. ”
After about half an hour, Zhang Nian hurried over with a medicine box, followed by a man wearing a moon-white satin moire brocade robe. The man is slender, handsome, and has a noble temperament in his actions, and he is the second prince of today, Baili Jinchuan.
Xia Jingqiu saw a flash of excitement in Baili Jinchuan's eyes, and the hand holding Yang Yingxue tightened slightly.
Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes and covered all her emotions under her long eyelashes: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince, why did His Royal Highness come over?" ”
Baili Jinchuan frowned slightly when he saw the Xia family in the room, he met the slave who went to invite Zhang Nian, and thought that Shen Ninghua was uncomfortable, so he followed over to take a look, but he didn't expect that it was not her who was sick, but he couldn't say it clearly:
"I just met Dr. Zhang on the road, so I came over to have a look."
"Uh......h Mother, my head hurts so much...... Yang Yingxue let out a sigh, reached out and stroked her forehead, her eyelashes trembled and opened her eyes, and then her eyes widened in surprise, "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, cousin, you are here, I can't get up and salute......"
Shen Ninghua was stunned when she saw Yang Yingxue, Yang Yingxue's appearance was already excellent before, but the only deficiency was that she was a little plain, and now when she looks at it, she feels that there is nothing on her body that is not beautiful, which makes people never get tired of looking at it.
Seeing such an amazing beauty, Baili Jinchuan was also slightly stunned for a moment: "Miss Yang is not feeling well, so you don't have to care about those cumbersome etiquette." I heard that Miss Yang was unwell, but she never had time to come to visit, and she didn't have time to prepare gifts in a hurry today, so she will definitely make up for it another day. ”
Yang Yingxue smiled, her smile was as soft as a cloud in the sky, with a hint of lightness, which made people feel natural but not too close: "I am very happy that the second prince can come to visit, and gifts are naturally not needed." I've been very sick for the past two days, and Your Royal Highness should not stay here for a long time, lest I get sick. As he spoke, he raised his sleeves to half-cover his face, and his expression was a little tired.
Seeing a beauty doing this, who can bear to refuse?
Baili Jinchuan nodded: "Miss Yang pay more attention to rest, the county lord will definitely send someone to take care of you, and I will visit you another day." ”
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince," Yang Yingxue smiled at the Second Prince, turned her head to look at Shen Ninghua, and looked a little more apologetic, "Cousin, I've worried you." ”
Shen Ninghua stepped forward to help her tidy up the quilt: "Cousin doesn't need to be so polite, just recuperate with peace of mind, in a few days, it will be the Youth Festival, I still want to invite my cousin to play together, you have to take care of your body quickly." The current Yang Yingxue seems to have been reborn, how to look at it and feel comfortable, Shen Ninghua can't help but feel a little interested.
"Yes, I'm going to make an appointment." Yang Yingxue's gentle smile is like a hibiscus and her eyebrows are like willows, and she is indescribably good-looking.
A few more people said a few words, and Shen Ninghua and Baili Jinchuan left.
Out of Cuizhuxuan, Baili Jinchuan did not say goodbye, but walked to the pavilion by the water: "Ning Hua, don't you mind sitting with me for a while, right?" ”
Shen Ninghua paused, turned his steps slightly, walked to the pavilion and sat down: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince has something to say?" ”
Baili Jinchuan looked at Shen Ninghua carefully, as if he wanted to see her heart through her body: "You planned Zhou's affairs?" ”
Shen Ninghua's expression turned cold: "What do you mean, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, came to Xingshi to ask for the guilt?" The person who chose to give up the treatment of the second princess was Your Royal Highness, right? ”
"Zhou's body has already reached the point where the oil is exhausted, even if it is treated, it is just lying down to spend the day, so it is better to give her a peace." Baili Jinchuan said, his tone gradually becoming more angry, "Ning Hua, I gave up letting people treat her, but I didn't take action to ruin her reputation!" ”
Shen Ninghua raised his head and met his sharp gaze, and his eyes did not flinch at all: "What does this mean by the second prince?" Suspect that I let people ruin the reputation of the second princess? ”
"Isn't it?" Baili Jinchuan sneered.
Shen Ninghua's expression was calm, but his tone was with a thin sarcasm: "Naturally not." If it weren't for the second prince giving up the treatment of the second princess, there would be no funeral; The second princess is alive, and her mother, Qin, will not sue me for murdering the princess; If she doesn't make false accusations, she will naturally not be implicated in the incident between Taohong and the son of the palace housekeeper, and it will not lead to the second princess daring to try to confuse the royal bloodline, I didn't do anything, I can only blame you for being ruthless, who let you not save the second princess! ”
Baili Jinchuan gritted his teeth violently, and the blue tendons on his forehead surged: "Ning Hua, what am I doing this for, don't you know?" ”
Shen Ninghua laughed at herself: "What should I know? Do you know that you will do anything to frame me in order to get me to marry you? ”
"You ......" Baili Jinchuan clenched his fists, only to feel that his face was ugly, "You trample on my sincerity like this?" ”
Seeing his indignant appearance, Shen Ninghua almost laughed. If people who don't know the inside story see him like this, they still think that they have failed him to live up to his deep love. It's a pity that the truth he keeps saying is just trying to force her to agree to the marriage by ruining her reputation.
If it weren't for her cleverness to expose the ugly things that the second princess had done, and let the emperor directly get rid of the Zhou family, I am afraid that the news that she murdered the second princess for "private feelings" has already spread in Kyoto now, and this private relationship is naturally her relationship with the second prince, so what reputation does she have?
No matter how much Baili Qingcang values her, can she compare to her son? In the end, under the control and operation of Baili Jinchuan, she will definitely not die, but she can't escape when she enters the Second Prince's Mansion, and besides, she is not entering as a concubine, and it is already the emperor's special grace to be able to become a concubine!
Baili Jinchuan forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried to soften his voice: "Ning Hua, I know that I owe consideration to the Zhou family's affairs, but your refusal again and again made me really impatient, but I have already arranged a way out, as long as you marry into the second prince's mansion, I will arrange for you to correct your name, show the truth of Zhou's death to my father, and return your innocence, when the time comes, my father will definitely feel guilty about you, when you have an heir, I will immediately promote you to be a concubine, and give you Wushang favor and glory, isn't this enough?" ”
Shen Ninghua couldn't help laughing coldly, originally thought that Baili Jinchuan would be able to be friends, but now it seems that if he becomes friends with such a person, he is afraid that there will be no bones left!
"Will you be grateful to me if I crippled you first, and then healed you?"
Looked at by those gorgeous eyes full of anger, Baili Jinchuan's heart suddenly moved, and he stepped forward to hold Shen Ninghua's wrist: "Ninghua, I know I've gone too far, but I'm confused for a while, I can't control it because I like you too much, ah......"
There was a sharp pain in his hand, and Baili Qingcang's unfinished words suddenly froze, and he looked down at his blue fingers, and suddenly let go of his hand.
Shen Ninghua gently stroked the wrist that was clutched red, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes: "Second prince, men and women don't kiss, you must not touch me casually." ”
