After being forced to marry as a substitute, I became famous in the limbo

Chapter 12 The Hairpin Auction ([-])
It seemed that they were infected by Jiang Ning, and the crowd began to breathe one after another.

Zhe Liu was dumbfounded when she heard this, she looked at the intoxicated companions around her in a panic, and for a moment, she even thought that something was wrong with her.

It wasn't until she finally caught a glimpse of Lu Feng who was as dumbfounded as she was in the crowd that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this is not her own problem.

As an old storyteller, Jiang Ning has always understood how to whet the audience's appetite.

So she hit the board in time when everyone was mesmerized, "I'll take a break at halftime, and everyone can arrange the time as they like."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Ning dropped the board quickly and swiftly.

With a muffled sound of "bang", everyone raised their heads in relief and began to chatter about the content not long ago.

Jiang Ning observed the audience's reaction and nodded contentedly.

Sure enough, as she expected, the more absurd and twisted the plot, the more the audience liked it.

In the afternoon, the sun continued to move westward, but in less than half an hour, the umbrella that the folded willow had supported her could no longer block the sunlight at all.

Zhe Liu forgot to take a look at her, then got up from the auditorium and walked to the stage to move the umbrella for Jiang Ning.

For this kind of thing, Zheliu has always been concerned.

She knew better than anyone else that her fate was always tightly tied to Jiang Ning, and if she wanted to have a comfortable life in the inner courtyard of the palace, she had to rely on the emperor.

Although her master has always been proud of being favored, she doesn't take the emperor seriously on the surface.But she still feels that the king's heart is unpredictable, so she should be more cautious.

While moving the umbrella, Zhe Liu carefully observed whether the shadow left by the umbrella could completely cover Jiang Ning's face.

Jiang Ning's face is actually fair.

She has been storytelling in North Street for several years, rain or shine, and she doesn't even bother to hold an umbrella, so she spends every day in the sun.

In midsummer, it was common for her skin to be red and sore, but her skin was not tanned at all.

Perhaps it was because of this reason that the palace people never suspected her strange behavior as the prime minister's daughter.

Zhe Liu managed to hold an umbrella for Jiang Ning, she turned her head to look, and saw Jiang Ning lying limply on the chair, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he fanned himself weakly with his hands.

Perhaps it was because she was too emotional today, a faint blush appeared on her white as snow face.

Zhe Liu sighed helplessly, she went into the room, took out a round fan, went to Jiang Ning and started fanning.

Xu Shi felt the wind in her ears, Jiang Ning opened her eyes slightly, and she smiled slightly when she saw Zhe Liu beside her.

"Thank you for your hard work, girl." Jiang Ning put down his hand reassuringly.

Zhe Liu pouted, and casually grabbed a piece of sweet dates from Jiang Ning's hand and stuffed them into his mouth.

The large plate of sweet dates prepared before the storytelling is still full.

"You don't like sweet dates, why do you prepare so much every time." The sweet dates in his mouth made Zhe Liu's words a little vague.

"Ah." Although Jiang Ning sighed, her face did not show any worry. She just lay there quietly, with one hand resting on her lower abdomen, and the other carelessly knocking on the hairpin beside her hand. wooden box.

There was a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, which could easily make people think of whether she was having a dream of making a fortune.

"You don't understand, girl Zheliu. I thought that the inner courtyard of the palace must have gathered all the delicacies in the world, but I didn't expect that there are not even candied haws here." Jiang Ning was still smiling, but there was a little more in his voice. Very sorry.

"Candied haws—that's the delicacy in the world. I can't eat candied haws, so I can only satisfy my hunger."

Jiang Ning rubbed her stomach, and sighed softly, "If only the Ministry of Internal Affairs was sensible enough to give me some hawthorns." She paused slightly, "Or, give me a few seeds."

Jiang Ning has never asked for much in this palace. She wants what others give, and never asks others to give anything.

"What are candied haws?" Jiang Ning straightened up suddenly, turned her head, and looked at Zheliu with pity. After a long time, she comforted with regret, "I will definitely plant a few hawthorn trees in the courtyard for you if I have the opportunity."

Zhe Liu was a little puzzled by her eyes.

At this moment, she didn't have the heart to ask Jiang Ning what the peerless delicacy of the candied haws was.

Zhe Liu swallowed the sweet dates in his mouth with difficulty, and lowered his voice to Jiang Ning's ear, "Niang Niang, you copied today's story from a book."

Such a sentence seemed to blow away all the troubles in Jiang Ning's body in an instant, "What are you talking about! It is clearly original by Ben Gong!"

As soon as he uttered a sentence, Jiang Ning realized that he had admitted in disguise that he was making things up.

"Your Majesty." Zhe Liu's voice was quite earnest, "It's easy to backfire like this."

"Ma'am, it's time."

Just as Jiang Ning wanted to refute, he was blocked back by Lu Feng's reminder.

She was sitting upright, waving her hands at Zhe Liu, took a sip of tea and prepared to tell a story.

Zhe Liu reluctantly put away the fan, grabbed a large handful of sweet dates from the table in front of Jiang Ning, stuffed them into his mouth, and rolled his eyes at Lu Feng with his mouth puffed up.

The crowd became quiet again, Jiang Ning cleared his throat, and continued to speak, "I saw the emperor like this, and I was so anxious that I rushed forward to check how the emperor was doing, but for a while, I forgot about the ice on the surface of the lake. Just a thin layer."

"The moment I stepped on the ice, I didn't fall straight into the lake as I imagined. On the contrary, the thin ice on the lake seemed to suddenly become indestructible. I was overjoyed and ran in the direction of the emperor." Go, but no matter how I run, I can only look at the place where the emperor is not far or near in front of me, and I can't touch it."

At this time, the people in the audience seemed to be unable to care about anything else, they stopped drinking tea and eating melon seeds, and what's more, they even held their breath temporarily, for fear that if they were not paying attention, they would miss something wonderful. thing.

"Just when I was in a panic, a thick turquoise smoke rose from the huge ice hole, and the thick smoke continued to spread, and soon spread to every corner of the lake. The world is chaotic, the twilight is dark, the world It seems that only me and the emperor are left."

"I opened my mouth to call for help, but found that I couldn't speak. A strong fear suddenly enveloped me. There have always been many rumors about the presence of evil spirits in this forest. I thought that the emperor and I must be entangled by evil spirits and could not escape. gone."

She took a deep breath, as if she wanted to try her best to recover from the panic.

"At this moment, a sphere exuding pure light suddenly appeared above the emperor's body. The sphere was huge, about the size of the gate of this palace. I was so frightened that I lost my mind. When I came back to my senses, At that time, the ball has already landed on the emperor's side."
