Shen Ningning hurriedly looked back, but saw Qi Xiuwei smiling.

"Xiaowei, it turned out to be you." The little one was a little disappointed.

Qi Xiuwei blinked: "Huh? Why do you have this expression? Could it be that you are waiting for someone else? ”

Shen Ningning drooped her little head: "Yes, I'm waiting for the prince's brother." ”

Qi Xiuwei sat beside her, and the two little girls looked up at the cold night sky together.

"That's right, usually at this time, the prince has already sent someone to pick you up, and you didn't come so late, I don't think you will come today!"

"Ning Ning, don't wait, how cold is it, go back and rest?" Qi Xiuwei said.

Shen Ningning also felt that he probably couldn't wait for today.

She had to find another chance to see her brother.

The little guy nodded silently, and suddenly remembered and asked, "Xiaowei, why haven't you slept?" ”

On Qi Xiuwei's quiet and delicate face, a layer of pink suddenly floated: "I, I'm also waiting for someone to ......"

Shen Ningning blinked her eyes in confusion, so the little guy decided to accompany her for a while.

Suddenly, Qi Xiuwei tugged on her sleeve and pointed to the outside of the Water Pavilion Flower Dock: "Look, they're coming!" ”

Shen Ningning hurriedly looked over, only to see a strict team of Praetorian Guards walking over with lanterns outside the long bridge.

The little guy was confused: "What are you doing with the forbidden army?" ”

Qi Xiuwei pointed to the person in charge: "Do you recognize him?" Pei Yin, the only boy in the Praetorian Guard who had just turned fifteen. ”

"He was an orphan since he was a child, and he was picked up by the city secretary to take care of him and teach him martial arts, and later he participated in martial arts, and became a forbidden army because of his excellence, and now he is a captain of the squad."

Shen Ningning blinked his eyes in confusion.

She didn't know this Pei Yin, but Qi Xiuwei was blowing the cold wind here, waiting here for a long time, just to see him?

Then they must be good friends!

Thinking so, the little one suddenly stood up and waved his arms across the bridge.

She raised her voice and shouted: "Captain Pei! Look here, wow, Xiaowei is watching you! ”

Qi Xiuwei's hair exploded shyly.

She hurriedly covered Shen Ningning's mouth: "Shhh Don't call him, he doesn't know me! ”

"Hmm!" The little guy's face was puffed up by the bun he was holding.

However, the group of forbidden troops on the opposite side suddenly stopped.

From a long distance, Shen Ningning couldn't see the appearance of the leader clearly.

But he felt that he was quite strong and thin, and the lantern in his hand swayed gently with the wind.

Qi Xiuwei saw Pei Yin looking at them for a moment, and after confirming that there was no danger, he gave up and took the people away.

Only then did Shen Ningning break free from Qi Xiuwei's shackles.

Her little face was flushed, and her eyes were dark and smart: "Xiaowei, what are you hiding, aren't you waiting for him?" ”

Qi Xiuwei covered her face with her hands, looking shy to death.

"Oh, he doesn't know me, and if he knows, I'll sit here every night and wait for him to pass by, how embarrassing."

She stumbled and said a lot.

Shen Ningning realized that it turned out that Qi Xiuwei entered the palace to select female officials in order to stay in the palace.

There are more opportunities to contact Pei Yin.

The two of them met at last year's palace banquet, and according to Qi Xiuwei's own words, she saw the tall young man in the crowd at a glance.

Among so many forbidden troops, he is the only one who is handsome, with a brown robe and a sword, so handsome!

Looking at the love in Qi Xiuwei's eyes when she spoke, Shen Ningning looked up at her little brain and looked at it incomprehensibly.

She's still too young, and of course she doesn't understand what it means to like it.

Don't look at Qi Xiuwei is only seven or eight years old, but it seems that she has long been enlightened about feelings.

Shen Ningning said: "If you want to be friends with him, you should take the initiative to talk to him." ”

Qi Xiuwei said: "Don't worry, there is such a thing as feelings, it is necessary to be close to the water to develop." ”

Shen Ningning listened even more puzzled.

What do you mean? Do you live in a place called near the water?

Seeing that her round face was full of confusion, Qi Xiuwei snickered: "Okay, I'm very satisfied tonight, thank you Ning Ning." ”

Pei Yin passed by before, but he didn't look this way.

As she spoke, Qi Xiuwei urged her to rest: "It's not early, we all have to go to bed early." ”

"I'll tell you a secret, my aunt may have to summon me both to her tomorrow morning."

However.

Early the next morning, Concubine Rong's people hadn't come yet, and Mo Lingwei's people came.

Wu Fang sent over the sika deer that Shen Ningning and the Nine Emperor Princes had raised together.

The ladies gathered around and were quite surprised.

The sika deer was timid by nature, shrinking beside Shen Ningning, trembling with fright.

Wu Fang arched his hand and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that since it is for you to play with the county lord, you will keep it in the Water Pavilion Flower Dock." ”

When Mo Lingwei's words were released yesterday, he was going to sit down on this behavior.

Otherwise, others would definitely suspect Shen Ningning.

The little guy touched the ears of the sika deer and hurriedly asked, "Brother Wufang, when can I go to chat with my brother?" ”

Wu Fang said with a smile: "The heavy snow in Chongzhou is pressing the road, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dealt with this matter overnight yesterday, and he can't get out of the way for the time being." ”

"When he's done, he will naturally let the lowly county lord take over."

After Shen Ningning heard this, he nodded obediently: "Okay, then I'll wait for him." ”

After Wu let go, the ladies surrounded the sika deer and stroked happily.

Everyone said babblingly: "County Lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really good to you, and he also asked you to raise a deer in the palace." ”

"This little deer is so well-behaved, I know how the county lord can cheat, it's all misunderstood by others."

Ye Sheng heard it coldly next to her, and felt that this person was talking at her.

She snorted angrily: "You bunch see the wind fall, grass on the wall! ”

The eldest aunt came out at the right time to stop everyone's dispute.

"Ladies pack up, after a while, the slaves and maids will take you and go through the road from the East Fourth Palace to the Prince's Palace again."

This is the final assessment, and tomorrow morning, the results of the selection of female officers will be released.

Everyone responded, and Shen Ningning hurriedly pulled the sika deer into the room.

Xie Yuanjiu was still recuperating his body, and when he saw the deer lying on the couch, he asked, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent it to you?" ”

Shen Ningning snorted, and she said in a glutinous voice: "Sister Xie, I will tie the deer to my side, and I won't disturb your rest." ”

Xie Yuanjiu's eyes flashed with disgust, and he smiled on his face: "Don't be so polite to me, just don't let it run around." ”

Of course, Shen Ningning knew, and left water and carrots for the sika deer.

Just when she was about to follow everyone to the East Fourth Palace with her eldest aunt, Concubine Rong's eldest palace maid came.

"Niangniang invited the county lord of Funing and Miss Qi to come to the palace for a gathering." Concubine Rong only invited Shen Ningning and Qi Xiuwei.

Everyone's eyes suddenly became different.

Ye Shangyi hugged her arms and sneered: "I'll just say, what else do we choose, Concubine Rong must have already thought about who to choose in her heart." ”

One is her own niece, and the other is a blessed daughter who has a great reputation.

Even if you don't choose Shen Ningning, you must choose Qi Xiuwei.

The eldest aunt comforted everyone: "Don't speculate on Niangniang's intentions, this is a big taboo, in this case, county lord, Miss Qi, you should follow along." ”

On the way to Concubine Rong's palace, Shen Ningning pinched the log plate engraved with a deer's head.

She secretly made up her mind that no matter what Concubine Rong said, she would return this thing!

Moreover, she also took the initiative to say that she would not and did not want to be a female official of His Royal Highness the Nine.
