For several days, every day there was a carriage on time to pick up people from Prince Yi's mansion, after Shen Ninghua took Qingque into the palace, he went directly to the side hall of Changqiu Palace prepared by Concubine Li, Lin Feiyuan waited inside, listened carefully to Shen Ninghua's teachings every day, but was dedicated to learning.

Concubine Li would send some pastries every day while they were resting, and Shen Ninghua would use a little after careful inspection and found no problems. Two hours later, Concubine Li would have her and Lin Feiyuan each sent back to their mansions.

On this day, Shen Ninghua and Qingque had just arrived in front of the palace gate, and a raindrop fell, and Qingque held an umbrella and helped Shen Ninghua get out of the car: "Master, it seems that this rain is going to fall a lot, is it a bad person to say to Concubine Li, and say that you will not enter the palace today?" ”

Shen Ninghua nodded: "There is a lot of rain, this kind of weather is indeed not suitable for entering the palace, let's go back." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a shout: "Princess Zhaohua stays...... The slave maid had seen the princess. Mama Wei, who was holding an umbrella in her hand, trotted to Shen Ninghua with a smile on her face, "Seeing that the weather is bad today, Niangniang has already instructed the slave maid to wait here and send an umbrella to the princess, for fear of drenching you, the princess should enter the palace quickly." ”

Shen Ninghua frowned: "With such a heavy rain, I won't enter the palace, if you go in and return to the concubine, I will say that I will enter the palace again tomorrow to apologize." ”

Mama Wei had a look of embarrassment on her face: "But Her Royal Highness the Princess, Niangniang heard that the weather was bad, so she got up early in the morning and waited for the princess, and Miss Lin also arrived, and she was waiting in the Changqiu Palace. ”

Seeing Shen Ninghua frowning more and more, Mama Wei hurriedly knelt down: "I beg Her Royal Highness the princess for mercy, if the slave maid said the truth, the concubine Niangniang will definitely ask the slave maid, why did you let the princess go back in such a heavy rain, and then the slave and maid's life will be explained there." ”

Shen Ninghua swept over Mama Wei's face, only to feel that the look was extraordinarily hypocritical: "Let's go." ”

Qingque hurriedly held an umbrella to keep up with Shen Ninghua's footsteps, ignoring Mama Wei on the side. Mama Wei, who was left out in the cold, didn't mind, bent down and got up from the ground, wiped away the tears on her face, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

Although there were Qingque guarding all the way, the rain became heavier and heavier, and when he came to the gate of Changqiu Palace all the way, Shen Ninghua's skirt was mostly wet.

Hearing that Shen Ninghua had arrived, Concubine Li hurriedly came out with someone: "Oh, in such a cold weather, how can it be good if you catch a cold, come on, hurry up and bring clean dresses and jackets, prepare hot water, soup woman, Ninghua, come in and change your wet clothes, if you are sick with me, I have no way to explain to Prince Yi." ”

Shen Ninghua's expression was indifferent, and she didn't pay attention to the wet dress at all: "With such a heavy rain, I originally wanted to inform Niangniang that I wouldn't enter the palace as soon as I heard it, and I didn't want to see Mama Wei obeying your instructions to send an umbrella, so I still feel that it is more appropriate to say it in person, and Niangniang doesn't have to be busy, I won't teach Miss Lin the rules today, I will just go back to the house and change my clothes again." ”

"How can that be?" Concubine Li stepped forward and held Shen Ninghua's hand, "Are you still separated from me as a child?" You are wet, and it is raining heavily outside, if you catch a cold and get cold this time, you can't say that I, the concubine, can't tolerate people? Ning Hua, do you think it's not safe in my Changqiu Palace? Or are you afraid that I will hurt you? ”

"Niangniang misunderstood, Ning Hua didn't think so."

Concubine Li glanced at her with disgust, and said with a smile: "It's good that you don't think so, hurry up and change out of your wet clothes." Saying that, Shen Ninghua couldn't refuse at all, and directly pushed her inside.

Qingque wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Mama Wei: "Miss Qingque, your clothes are also wet, the slave will take you to change, don't worry, there are many people waiting for the princess here, there must be nothing to do." ”

Qingque ignored Mama Wei's obstruction, and with a clever hand, she pushed Mama Wei away without a trace, and when she wanted to stop it again, Qingque had already followed Shen Ninghua into the inner room. Mama Wei's face darkened, and she wanted to step forward to say something again, but she saw Concubine Li shaking her head at her.

Mama Wei hurriedly walked over, with panic on her face: "Niangniang......"

"That Qingque is the best martial artist among the people around Shen Ninghua, it seems that she is also guarding against us when she enters the palace." Concubine Li stroked the long gilded silk armor on her hand, with a look of resentment in her eyes, "Okay, act at the opportunity, how about the second prince?" ”

"The eldest palace maid on Concubine Qi's side is our person, the slave maid has already informed her, and she has also spread the news, so she will definitely not disappoint the mother."

"Hmm." Concubine Li nodded, and let out a long breath, finally there was something pleasant.

Shen Ninghua entered the inner room and drove out all the palace maids who were waiting inside: "You all go down, it's okay to have Qingque to serve me." ”

"This ......" the palace maids hesitated a little, "slaves and maids and others ......"

Shen Ninghua's expression was cold: "Go down!" ”

"Yes." Seeing Shen Ninghua angry, the palace maids hurriedly rushed out.

Qingque: "Master, I feel very strange in the Changqiu Palace today, you should be careful in everything." ”

Shen Ninghua swept the clothes on the side, picked them up and examined them carefully, and found no problems: "Let's act when the opportunity arises." "Concubine Li obviously wants to keep her in the palace, as for what to do in the palace, it is not necessarily a good thing to think about it, you can only see the moves.

"Yes."

Shen Ninghua changed her clothes and came out, and Concubine Li greeted her with a smile: "Sure enough, you look good in any kind of clothes, you are the age of green onions, it is really beautiful to wear such clothes." ”

Shen Ninghua changed into a dress with a moon-white background, the cuffs of the skirt were embroidered with large and delicate red peonies, the neckline was inlaid with gold threads, and colorful butterflies were flying, the color of the whole dress was extremely bright, if the appearance or momentum was slightly weaker, I am afraid that I would not be able to suppress this color. However, Shen Ninghua looked extremely beautiful on her body, without the slightest intention of dominating the crowd.

Although Concubine Li was extremely disgusted with Shen Ninghua, she couldn't say anything against her will, Shen Ninghua was indeed beautiful and made people jealous!

"Thank you for the dress."

"Where is the use, I can't wear this dress now, you are wearing it just right."

Shen Ninghua smiled, glanced at Lin Feiyuan and asked, "I heard that Mama Wei said that Miss Lin also came to the palace, why didn't she see her?" ”

"She didn't get drenched in the rain when she entered the palace, the palace let her rest for a day, rest, who knew that she had to insist on going to the side hall to practice the rules, at this time I'm afraid she is still practicing, she, when it's okay, she will talk to you in the palace, saying that after seeing your rules, I know that there are people outside the world, and you are simply out of reach."

Hearing these flattering words, Shen Ninghua just smiled: "Miss Lin is too arrogant, since she is in the side hall, then I will also go to the side hall to have a look, she has the heart to learn, I will definitely teach her." ”

Mama Wei hurriedly spoke: "Princess, this Qingque girl's dress is still wet, the slave maid will take her down to change it." ”

Without waiting for Shen Ninghua to speak, Qingque politely refused: "Thank you Mama Wei, the slave is fine, it's just that the skirt is wet, people who practice martial arts don't pay so much attention, if Mama Wei must let Qingque change clothes, then please find a set of palace maid's clothes for the slave maid, and the slave and maid will naturally have a way to change it." ”

Mama Wei was angry in her heart, she hated this dead girl who didn't eat oil and salt, and when she glanced at Concubine Li on the side, she was silent, so she had to come down: "This ...... That's fine, the old slave will go down and find it for you. ”

A smile flashed quickly from her eyebrows, and Shen Ninghua said: "Guifei Niangniang, Mama Wei will find the clothes later, and send them directly to the side hall, and Qingque and I will go to the side hall first and say goodbye." ”

Although it is said to be a side hall, Changqiu Palace is the second largest palace after Chunxi Palace, and this side hall is separated from the main hall by two door walls. Because many times, a palace has to live with multiple concubines, and it is easy to get into trouble when the distance is close.

When Shen Ninghua came to the side hall, Lin Feiyuan was practicing the rules of drinking tea, and when he saw Shen Ninghua, he hurriedly got up and saluted: "The courtiers have seen Princess Zhaohua." ”

"Miss Lin is polite."

Shen Ninghua still taught Lin Feiyuan according to the previous progress, and until two hours later, the rain outside had not stopped. Lin Feiyuan took the handkerchief handed by the palace maid and wiped her hands: "Princess, it seems that this rain is going to go down all day, and I am afraid that it will not stop at night." ”

Shen Ninghua looked at the dense rain curtain outside, and occasionally mixed with some rice-like ice crystals: "It's time, I'll go to the main hall to say to Niangniang, and I'll go back now." ”

Lin Feiyuan was surprised: "With such a heavy rain, the princess still wants to go back?" ”

"Naturally, I still have two children at home, and I can't rest assured that I will let them go all day, so I will say goodbye first." After speaking, he motioned for the green finch to walk out.

As soon as he came to the corridor of the main hall, he saw a group of palace people waiting outside, Shen Ninghua couldn't help frowning: This posture should be that the father and the emperor are at Concubine Li.

Sure enough, as soon as she walked to the door, Mama Wei greeted her with a smile on her face: "I have seen Princess Zhaohua, the emperor is talking to Niangniang in the palace, I heard that Princess Zhaohua is also there, and I ordered the slave maid to invite you and Miss Lin to come over to have dinner together." ”

Shen Ninghua nodded: "There is Mama Lao Wei." ”

"Erchen has seen his father."

Baili Qingcang was drinking tea, and when she saw Shen Ninghua's movements, she hurriedly ordered her to get up: "Get up, the concubine just told me about you, you have worked hard during this time, and when the deadline of one month comes, if the concubine is not ready to thank you with a generous gift, I will definitely help you seek justice!" ”

Concubine Li covered her lips and laughed: "With the emperor's words, the concubines have emptied the Changqiu Palace, and they will definitely prepare a generous gift for Ning Hua." ”

Shen Ninghua smiled and didn't make a smart noise. After Concubine Li's birthday, she exchanged all the birthday gifts she received for silver coins and sent them to the treasury, saying that she was making a contribution to the people in the northwest drought.
