When Shen Ningning heard this, he smiled sweetly, his round little face was tender and red.

"There is nothing wrong with recommending you to enter the palace to have dinner with the emperor's uncle, but why did Xiaowei suddenly remember this?"

Qi Xiuwei wanted to speak and stopped, constantly peeking at the maid beside her, she was hesitant and couldn't think of how to explain.

Seeing this, the maid remembered Mrs. Qi's advice, so she took advantage of adding tea to Qi Xiuwei before she could speak, and said with a smile to Shen Ningning:

"Her Royal Highness Princess, Concubine Qi was snubbed before, and we sent someone into the palace and couldn't see it, no, Concubine Qi misunderstood, thinking that Qi Mansion didn't want to care about her."

"So, our old lady has always wanted to find an opportunity to make peace with Concubine Qi, but unfortunately our family is a foreign minister, so we can't send the young lady to the harem."

"So I wanted to take this opportunity to dine with the emperor and ask the young lady to comfort Concubine Qi's heart."

I see.

Shen Ningning blinked wide-eyed.

She looked at Qi Xiuwei, but saw Qi Xiuwei pursing her lips and frowning, as if she was extremely embarrassed.

Shen Ningning thought that she was embarrassed to ask for help, so she said decisively: "No problem, it's a trivial matter, then I will give you the opportunity, it just so happens that I will enter the palace for dinner the day after tomorrow, and I will send someone to tell the emperor's uncle in advance." ”

Qi Xiuwei lowered her head, and her voice was a little sad: "Thank you...... Ningning. ”

Shen Ningning didn't like Concubine Qi very much, but the little guy also understood the reason of the Qi family, Concubine Qi was Xiaowei's aunt after all, and Shen Ningning was willing to help her once.

It's just that the little guy thinks that when she left, Qi Xiuwei's expression seemed to be about to cry?

It's the day after tomorrow.

Ye Sheng entered the palace according to them, Shen Ningning gave the opportunity to Qi Xiuwei, she naturally didn't go herself, so she went to the shop to check the accounts.

On a clear winter day, the cold wind is as fierce as a knife.

Pedestrians outside, wrapped in thick coats, come and go.

Shen Ningning stood behind the counter, pulling the account book with her little hand, and the pot of black tea and ginger soup stove prepared for her by Aunt Yun on the side was bubbling.

Uncle Zhong stood beside Shen Ningning and pointed to a few notes on the account book.

"The owner, the silver we lost during the cold disaster has been earned, and we can make a stable profit of two hundred taels per month, and the sum of the months will give you and the second owner about one thousand taels of dividends at the end of the year."

Shen Ningning's happy eyebrows curled: "Uncle Zhong has worked hard, and when it comes to the New Year's Festival, I won't treat you badly." ”

She and Lu Shaoyuantou's hot spring Zhuangzi are also doing well now.

Without the legend of ghosts and the suppression of the reputation of blessed women, the number of aristocratic families who went to enjoy the hot springs gradually increased.

Lu Shaoyuan is mainly in charge of the business of the villa, and he said that he is counting money with his eyes closed.

Shen Ningning guessed that he could have a good year of prosperity this year.

If she earns a lot of silver, she will buy some more jade and feed it to Fairyland.

At this moment, there was a forbearance cry at the door-

"Ning Ning...... You, are you free right now? ”

Shen Ningning raised her head and saw Qi Xiuwei standing with red eyes and leaning on the door frame.

She was thin and thin, wearing a heavy hat, but she also felt thin.

"Xiaowei!" Shen Ningning hurriedly ran over, took her hand and led her in: "What's wrong with you?" Didn't you want to go to the palace to have dinner with the emperor's uncle, why did you come to me? ”

As she spoke, the little one glanced behind her.

The group of Qi family members who always followed closely were not there, and Qi Xiuwei in front of her, because of her care, couldn't help crying anymore.

"Ning Ning, I'm sorry, I lied to you."

Guests came and went and cast puzzled glances at them.

Shen Ningning pulled her and walked to the warm house in the backyard, letting Aunt Yun and Uncle Zhong stare ahead.

Wu'er was clever and recognized that it was Shen Ningning's friend who came, and immediately came in with hot tea.

In the warm room, Qi Xiuwei sat in a chair and wiped her tears sadly.

Shen Ningning patted her on the back and put the warm tea brought by Wu'er in her cold palm.

"Tell me well, what's going on?"

Wu'er brought two more plates of pastries, and then retreated with interest, and didn't forget to say: "Sister Ning Ning, I'm in the front yard, if you need my help, call me." ”

After he left, Qi Xiuwei choked up and said, "Last time, the maid said that I asked you for that opportunity, but it was actually to ease the relationship with my aunt through me, but this is not the case. ”

"That maid is my grandmother's person, and my grandmother forced me to ask you for this opportunity, and she wanted me to ...... Let me show my face in front of the emperor and make a good impression, and then let my father go to the emperor and send me to Zichen Palace to be a female official for His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Qi Xiuwei couldn't cry breathlessly, and her eyes were red.

"Ning Ning, if you believe me, I will never compete with you for the position of the princess."

The little guy blinked in surprise and blinked his big clear black eyes.

"Xiaowei, why does your grandmother even calculate you?"

Qi Xiuwei lowered her eyelashes with teardrops: "Grandmother said everything at home, even my father listened to her, listen to my mother, when my aunt was still at home, my grandmother forced my aunt to make friends with powerful people, as if ...... It seems that when your mother stayed in Qi Mansion before, she was also forced by my grandmother to entrap the powerful. ”

Shen Ningning was surprised, and a trace of anger rose on her little face: "She's so annoying!" ”

"She wants to win over the powerful so much, let her be her brother's female official, what are you doing to embarrass you, hum!"

Qi Xiuwei listened to her words and wiped her tears.

"Originally, I was going to enter the palace hard, but I ...... My aunt still hated our family in the end, when she was in the cold palace, she had nothing, and my grandmother didn't let my father and mother find a way to help. ”

"So when I entered the palace today, I was stopped by the little eunuch, and after careful questioning, I learned that it was my aunt who told the emperor that I was not in good health, and I was afraid that I would be sick when I entered the palace."

Qi Xiuwei said, choked up: "I heard that she recommended Xie Yuanjiu, and when I was forced to leave the palace, Xie Yuanjiu's carriage passed by me. ”

Shen Ningning was really a little angry now.

"Why is your aunt so bad, you are her relative!"

Qi Xiuwei lowered her head, and her voice was muffled: "Hey, it's okay if you don't enter the palace, so that my grandmother will keep persecuting me to fight for the prince's female official." ”

"I jumped out of the carriage just now, and finally shook off those eyeliners, Ning Ning, can I stay with you for a while, my home is like a cage, I can't breathe."

Shen Ningning thought about it and nodded decisively: "No problem!" ”

"I'm going to let it rain so that when you get home, you can tell your grandmother that you came home late because you were trapped in the rain, and she won't blame you."

Qi Xiuwei's action of wiping her tears paused.

She was a little surprised.

"Ning Ning, you...... Can you really make God obedient? Immediately, Qi Xiuwei reacted, and she seemed to have asked a nonsense.

Rather be a blessed girl with a decent child! The little fairy who took everyone through two natural disasters in a row!

Shen Ningning winked playfully at her.

"Yes, I'll communicate with God, and he will promise us."

As he spoke, the little guy ran to the window with his back to Qi Xiuwei.

Taking advantage of the fact that she couldn't see it, Shen Ningning's small hand pulled out a few black marshmallow-like clouds from the fairyland.

As soon as the finger loosened, the dark clouds flew into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

Shen Ningning waited with a smile.

Small dark clouds ~ come to the big one!
