In the imperial study, the emperor leisurely flipped through the folds.

After a moment, he raised his eyes and looked at the four princes sitting on the side.

"What? The reward has been given, what more do you want to ask for? ”

"The retainers are terrified." The fourth prince pretended to be nervous and got up and handed over, "What the son wants to say is, will the father reward too much?" ”

The emperor put down his hand and leaned comfortably on the back of the dragon chair, staring at the four princes with a wrong gaze.

The fourth prince was very calm, and there was only a hint of puzzlement on his face.

"Since you said that Huairou humiliated the girl of the Ning family on the street, it was not your instigation, if you rashly showed favor for fear that Ning Aiqing would be suspicious, I issued an order to reward the girl of the Ning family."

"Do you think you're rewarded a lot now?"

The fourth prince's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "The son is too worried, how the father rewards him is the father's intention." ”

"Well, who am I for, you must have figured it out if you are so smart."

"Thank you, Father."

The four princes respectfully gave the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, and then withdrew from the imperial study.

The accompanying little eunuch hurriedly greeted the four princes and handed out the Jinpa.

The four princes carefully wiped their fingers, suddenly hooked their lips, and strode away-

……

Ning Shu looked at the courtyard in confusion, then checked the holy decree in her hand, and looked at Ning Zhengjie suspiciously.

"Father, what does Your Majesty mean by this?"

When the first father-in-law Su came to announce the decree, Ning Shu's whole head was confused.

I even forgot how to send Grandpa Su away.

Ning Zhengjie boldly guessed that the emperor was trying to cover up the fact that the fourth prince had secretly changed the account books back then, and Mingli would not reward him, so he could only make up for it with his daughter.

It's just that these yellow and white rewards are just that, as for the county lord?

Ning Shu just wants to live in peace and security, and just do her best to find the "enemy".

Now he has become the county lord of Qi State-

"Father, do you want to return this decree?"

"Nonsense." Ning Zhengjie said to Ning Shu with a smile and a smile: "You have no jokes, how can you say that you will retreat?" Take it, it's deserved. ”

Ning Zhengjie suddenly got his senses, and he firmly believed that the emperor was compensating him in a roundabout way, so he accepted the emperor's steps with peace of mind.

Ning Shu didn't think so.

Her premonition always pointed to the fourth prince as if she didn't have it, but she didn't understand what kind of intentions he had.

In addition to the canonization of the county lord, the emperor's rewards were also a lot of silk and satin, jewelry, real money and silver.

Ning Shu selected a few elegant satins, and the rest were carried to Mrs. Ning's courtyard.

Mrs. Ning was really happy for her daughter, and instantly put aside the troubles of Aunt Zhou still responding to people in the house, and took out a hundred taels of gold and returned it to Ning Shu.

"Long Shan has also worked hard by your side, if you haven't found anyone yet, it's better to bring a few in your mother's yard. I saw that Xiangping was safe. ”

After a few days of contact, Ning Shu also felt that Xiangping's character was acceptable.

But he still rejected Mrs. Ning's kindness.

"There's no urgency, I still have Long Shan, and my mother also needs a safe person here. After all, Aunt Zhou is back. ”

No matter how Aunt Zhou stayed in Ning Mansion, she always stayed.

Ning Zhengjie didn't say when he would send Aunt Zhou out of the house, and arranged a well-located courtyard for Ning Jiao, which shows that the means are not ordinary.

At the mention of Aunt Zhou, Mrs. Ning and Ning Shu glanced at each other tacitly, and she sighed lightly: "Your father has recognized her as a person, and it is expected that she will not be able to make any waves." Let's take one step at a time. ”

"Mother, you must be on guard against others, and you should also be on guard."

In Ning Shu's memory, in addition to being pretentious and seductive, Aunt Zhou was still polite to Mrs. Ning on the surface.

I just don't know how long this "etiquette" can last after she returns home again.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ning Shu got a report from Long Shan, saying that the Shu'an Hou Mansion was very lively.

There was some fluctuation in Ning Shu's eyes.

It seems that Shu'an is waiting to return to Kyoto.

At the same time, Ning Jiao, at the instigation of Aunt Zhou, reluctantly walked into Qinglan Pavilion.

The moment he stepped into the door, his mournful face suddenly turned into a joyful smile, "Congratulations sister." ”

"Where does the joy come from?" Ning Shu raised her eyebrows, and a sense of indifferent alienation emanated from the inside out.

The awkward atmosphere in the air almost made Ning Jiao breathless.

But Aunt Zhou's words kept lingering in her ears, forcing her to show her face to meet Ning Shu's cold gaze.

"Congratulations to my sister for becoming the county lord, my sister is really blessed."

Once Ning Jiao opened her mouth, her words slipped away, like a good girl who didn't know anything about the world, "I heard that Your Majesty has rewarded my sister with a lot of things, I wonder if my sister has the honor to open her eyes?" ”

She followed Aunt Zhou's teachings, followed by good persuasion, and the ultimate goal was naturally aimed at those treasures that she had never seen in her life.

Ning Shu said lightly, "It's really unfortunate, it's all sent to my mother's yard." After all, it was rewarded by His Majesty, and if I bumped it and lost it, I'm afraid that the entire Ning Mansion will suffer——"

Listening to Ning Shu's words, Ning Jiao's eyes suddenly darkened a little.

A smile flashed in Ning Shu's eyes, and then she said, "But it's been a few days since my sister came back, and it's always unreasonable to wear these clothes all day——"

Ning Jiao suddenly jumped up again, looking at Ning Shu with starry eyes, looking forward to her next words.

"Naturally, I don't dare to make decisions about Your Majesty's things, but it's okay to take my sister to the ready-to-wear shop to buy a few new styles."

Cup bow snake shadow, the last meeting between Xinglou and the four princes is still remembered.

In Qinglan Pavilion, Long Shan can't be the only one to take care of.

Ning Shu was thinking about going out to find a maid, and pondered about bringing Ning Jiao's words, no matter how unreasonable the four princes were, they wouldn't be unscrupulous, right?

Ning Jiao was happy.

In Kyoto, many noble ladies are dressed in the style of ready-to-wear shops, and she has been red for a long time.

But my aunt's money was used to invite her husband, and in terms of food and clothing, it was much worse.

Ning Jiao's response was enthusiastic, and Ning Shu smiled lightly, "Add a few more pieces of jewelry to my sister." ”

Two or three ready-to-wear shops in the downtown can satisfy Ning Jiao.

She wants to go to the human market, so she has to have a reason to go to the innermost.

Ning Jiao's smile was like a flower, and she was so excited that her face was a little ruddy.

"Sister, you are so good to me."

Ning Shu smiled meaningfully, "Let's go." ”

Walking around the busiest street market in Kyoto again, Ning Jiao's heart was surging.

In the past, she always felt inferior and shy, and she couldn't walk into the door of the shop with a comfortable expression.

It's different now, she has a county lord's sister, and whether her sister treats her sincerely remains to be studied, but now that her sister can pay for her, she will naturally not be soft.

Having already made up her mind to go to the most famous ready-to-wear shop, Ning Jiao just got out of the carriage, took a deep breath of the air in the market, and her back straightened unconsciously.

"Smack!"

A crisp slap came over when Ning Shu's feet had not yet landed, Ning Jiao came back to her senses and stretched out her hand to pick up Ning Shu to get out of the carriage, while looking in the direction where the sound came from and muttering, "What's wrong over there?" ”

Ning Shu was also puzzled, so she heard an angry shout: "Will you hand it over?" ”
