Chapter 73: Escape the Heat on a Rainy Day?
Mrs. Ning had actually expected it, so Ning Zhengjie's decision did not make any waves for her.
It's just that Ning Jiao surprised her a little.
Ning Shu drank the tea with a faint expression, and asked Mrs. Ning casually, "Did she really say that?" β
Mrs. Ning rubbed her temples, "Actually, I think it's a little incredible, but considering that she was always facing you in the past, it's not impossible to make this kind of move." β
Ning Shu sneered in her heart.
On the surface, Ning Jiao is really affectionate to her sister.
"Stay, stay, it's very hard for my mother to serve my father alone."
As long as Aunt Zhou is not a demon, Ning Shu is also very happy to see the excitement in the house.
Mrs. Ning hummed softly, "Tomorrow you are going to the palace outside the city?" β
"Yes." Ning Shu's eyes flashed, "Princess Huairou invited, I have to go." β
Mrs. Ning looked at the sky outside the house through the open window, "But I see that it will rain tonight, is it necessary to escape the heat tomorrow?" β
The corners of Ning Shu's lips hooked up a puzzling arc, "Who knows?!" β
β¦β¦
As Mrs. Ning had expected, the next day there was a strong wind and heavy rain.
Raindrops crashed on the branches, and the green leaves were swept away by the relentless wind.
Shuang'er closed the door, blocked the sound of wind and rain outside the house, and asked Ning Shu: "Girl, you don't need to go to such a heavy rain, right?" Even if the rain is lighter tomorrow, it will be done? β
The door that had just been closed was pushed open by Long Shan again, and she walked in with a blank face.
"Girl, the princess has sent someone."
Ning Shu raised her eyebrows, "It seems that it is not possible to go today." β
"But it's raining so heavilyβ" Frost still thinks it's better not to go out.
Ning Shu got up and arranged the hem of her skirt, "It's okay, they've all come to the door, if you don't go, you won't have the royal family." β
Princess Huairou really chooses a good day.
On such a rainy day, someone was sent to answer it, and Ning Shu was even more sure that this trip would not be easy.
Jian Yi stood in front of the door of Ningfu in the heavy rain, her umbrella bones were blown by the strong wind, but her body was still straight.
It wasn't until Ning Shu's figure appeared in sight that she bowed slightly: "Slave Jian Yi has seen the county master." β
Ning Shu was blessed, "Aunt Jian Yi is very polite, I thought that such a heavy rain would sweep away the princess's Yaxing." β
Jian Yi's expression was as usual, "Since it was agreed with the county lord, how could the princess not believe her words?" β
Ning Shu smiled meaningfully and boarded the carriage behind Jian Yi.
Long Shan followed behind, but was blocked by Jian Yi.
"The carriage is the princess's car, and I'd better not get dirty when I wait for the slaves."
Long Shan was slightly stunned, "How should the slave go to the palace?" β
Jian Yi looked at the inner courtyard of Ning Mansion in surprise, "Isn't there a carriage in Ning Mansion?" β
Long Shan: "...... Please Aunt Jian Yi wait, and the slave will go and call the carriage. β
"Girl, the princess's carriage waits for no one." Jian Yi pointed out, "The palace is ten miles outside the city, and the girl will come slowly." β
With that, she turned and left.
Looking at her figure boarding another pony carriage, Long Shanqi smiled.
Thought that this would stump her?
Ning Shu lifted the curtain, her vision was cut off by the rain curtain, and she nodded slightly at Long Shan from afar.
Long Shan bowed his head slightly without a trace, and then returned to the courtyard.
The princess's carriage was lavish and exquisite, and the jewels on the curtains jingled with the jolting of the carriage.
Ning Shu sat in the carriage, accompanied by the sound of the rain, until night fell, and the carriage finally stopped.
By this time, the rain outside had stopped, and the smell of new earth was wafting in the air.
Ning Shu got out of the carriage under Jian Yi's guidance, and looked up at the royal palace located at the foot of Li Mountain, with the wind howling in the mountains behind her.
"The county lord is tired all the way, and there is a hot spring pool in the palace, which can wash away the fatigue of the county lord."
Jian Yi guided in front and took Ning Shu through the corridor of the palace.
Before she came in, she took a special look at the road she came, and the maid named Long Shan really didn't follow.
Jian Yi smiled with satisfaction and said, "Does the county lord eat dinner first or soak in the soup pool first?" β
"Let's go meet the princess first." Ning Shu replied indifferently.
"The rain is too strong today, and the princess is not good at walking in the rain. Soβthe princess didn't come today. β
Jian Yi's smile was sincere, so sincere that Ning Shu thought it was a matter of course, and it was not worth apologizing to her at all.
Since Princess Huairou didn't come, the show shouldn't have started.
Ning Shu sighed lightly with relief, it seemed that tonight was safe.
"In that case, please ask Aunt Jian Yi to take me to the soup pool."
The Royal Pavilion is more than just a hot pool.
There is also a school field, a hunting ground, and it is located in the Fengshui Longan of Lishan, and the stars here are more beautiful than those in Lishui City.
Ning Shu immersed herself in the open-air hot spring pool, looking up at the stars in the sky, and suddenly turned her head to look at the darkness behind her, her ink eyes filled with coldness.
"Who?"
"County Lord? Do you need slaves to go in and wait? β
The soup pool was blocked by a bamboo row, and the palace maid arranged by Jian Yi on the other side heard Ning Shu's voice and asked tentatively.
The tone of the inquiry was very respectful, and if you look at it with your eyes, the palace maid is eating melons and fruits on the chair.
"Not necessarily."
Ning Shu's voice came, and after the palace maid lazily peeled a grape and put it in her mouth, she replied slowly: "Okay, the slave and maid are waiting here, and the county lord can call the slave and maid at any time if he needs to." β
After speaking, he reached out and picked a grape prepared for Ning Shu, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "I really think I am a master." β
Ning Shu cat was in the soup pool, only showing her head, and signaled the person in front of her to turn around with her eyes.
Xie Yunyan shrugged his shoulders and turned around helplessly.
Ning Shu immediately grabbed the clothes by the pool and put them on, walked behind Xie Yunyan and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?" β
"Miss Long Shan said you were looking for me?" Xie Yunyan blinked his peach blossom eyes, and the sparkle was gentler than the moonlight.
Ning Shu raised her eyebrows, "What did Long Shan say?" β
Before the two separated, they had a common mind, and motioned to Long Shan to find Xie Yunyan to borrow Yuanwu to protect him, just in case of unpreparedness.
Who knew that Long Shan invited Xie Yunyan?
Xie Yunyan smiled gently, turned around, and looked Ning Shu up and down.
As soon as he found the soup pool, he was discovered by Ning Shu.
He didn't know that Ning Shu's perception of danger was so keen?
"Yuan Wu was sent by me to do other tasks, so it's inconvenient to come."
So here he is?
Ning Shu's long black hair was scattered behind her back, and a few strands of hair were still dripping with water droplets, she tightened the neckline of her shirt, and said lightly: "Princess Huairou forcibly summoned me to the palace, I was afraid that this trip would be dangerous, so I had to ask the adults for help." β
"yes, I know." Xie Yunyan lowered his voice, "Maybe the real source is still because of me, so I came, Miss Ning doesn't have to apologize." β
"But Princess Huairou is not in the future, tonight I am afraid that Lord Xie will leave this experience in vain."
"It's okay, tomorrow coincides with tomorrow's rest, and it's a great blessing to live in the palace tonight-"
In Kyoto, Mototake stood in front of the door of Shousuke-sama's mansion with a leave paperwork, sneezing incessantly.
There were constant angry shouts from the door of the mansion, "Take leave again!" When did he become a sick seedling? β
Yuanwu: ......
