The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 125 Mrs. Shen's Acceptance
In the back house of the general's mansion.

The courtyard is still cold, and the house is indeed warm in spring. In Mrs. Shen's large inner house, there are several red charcoal braziers. Aroma produced by burning special wood.

Dressed in pink, Ning Yan sat on a mahogany chair, looking elegant and generous, her face was like pearls, her skin was white and radiant inside, her eyes were deep, her lips were slightly closed, and her hair was like clouds.Opposite her, Mrs. Shen was tasting the fragrant tea prepared by Lan'er. There was a string of Buddhist beads on her wrist, shining brightly. Miss Lan'er was serving on the side, skillfully placing a jade teapot on the wooden table. on the table.

"So, Ning Yan, are those envoys from Beiyuan Kingdom gone?" Taking a sip of fragrant tea, Mrs. Shen's complexion was relaxed and natural, blowing away the drifting green smoke, and asked Ning Yan gently. Just now, Ning Ningyan went out to see Wei Donghai and his party off. After they had gone far, she returned to the mansion to greet the old lady. Since these days, due to the chaos in the mansion, the number of times she came to greet her has become much less.

"Yes, old lady, I must have gone far away from the city by now, Haoyue was ordered to escort him, and he must be back after returning to the palace to hand over the order." Although Ning Ningyan's voice was soft, her words were clear.The old lady nodded after hearing this, holding the tea bowl in her hand, and gently placed it on the wooden table, and the crisp porcelain sound came.

"Hey, it's uncomfortable to be an official. Don't be an official if you are comfortable. I think it's true. There are so many people in the mansion these days. It's hard to get used to it." The old lady is a person who likes to be quiet. It really bothered her a little.

Miss Lan'er, who has been standing by her side serving the old lady, smiled softly, "Old lady, I know you like to be quiet, this is good, the quiet days are back, but old lady, let Lan'er say something, you The back house is far away from the front yard, and the courtyard walls are tall, so you can just live the life you used to, so why bother with those people."

After listening to Ning Yanyan, she also nodded, and took out the fresh oranges just bought in the mansion from a fruit plate next to her, peeled them gently with her jade hands, and handed the orange kernels to the old lady. "Old madam, what Miss Lan'er said is true. Haoyue is in his position, so he must do something. Besides, what happened this time is also an order from the emperor."

The old lady took the orange from Ning Ningyan's hand, looked at her kindly, and stretched out her hand to gently smooth the messy strands of hair on Ning Ningyan's forehead.

This kind of action was something that Ning Ningyan didn't even dare to think about before. She could clearly feel that during this period of time, the old lady's opinion of her was much better. Although this matter was also expected by her, but When this day really came, she was still quite excited and very warm in her heart.

The Lan'er girl beside her also had a look of joy, she was as kind and pure as her. Since Ning Yan came through the door, she hoped that the old lady could get along with her in harmony. For this reason, she also made a lot of efforts, Now seeing that the old lady is about to accept Ning Yan from the bottom of her heart, she is so happy in her heart.

"Ningyan..." the old lady called softly.Ning Ningyan stood up respectfully, nodded and said: "Yes, old lady."

Shen Su gently took Ning Yan's hand, and pulled her in front of her.Condensing Yan has always been as cold as ice, as cold as jade, but under the current situation, she couldn't help a faint blush on her jade face.

"Ningyan... I haven't thanked you well for what happened that day. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd have returned to my old place." Ning Yan could understand that what the old lady said was that she went to Foxiang Mountain that day Xiang, the incident of meeting an assassin on the road, but what really caught her attention was not the gratitude that the old lady mentioned, but the kindness that she said softly after he hesitated.

She understood that this old lady had been making things difficult for her since she married into the Shen family, but it seemed that she had really accepted her now. In the past, Madam Shen had always called her Ning Ningyan, Ning Ningyan Go, even the word Ning Yan, which was slightly affectionate later, she could still hear that there was still a lot of reluctance in it.

But the present Ning Yan's voice was so sincere, it was as if she was calling her own child.

Ning Yan bowed and saluted: "Old Madam, the matter is over, so don't bring it up again, Ning Yan has almost forgotten it..."

This matter is so strange to say, the old lady is so pleasing to the eyes of Ning Ningyan, if they really think about it carefully, they have to thank this assassin!

Mrs. Shen's face was slightly annoyed, and she sighed: "Ningyan, I'm already like this, how long are you going to call me, old lady?"

In an instant, Ning Yan understood everything, and a feeling of warmth swept over her body. She lowered her head silently, and a smile naturally appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The Lan'er girl next to her was also anxious, she kept tugging at her skirt gently, wishing she could run to Ning Yan's side and tell her to shout quickly...

Ning Ningyan's eyes couldn't help a little mist, and then became clear again, she nodded slightly, and looked at the old lady respectfully.

"Mother... Mother..." is only a few words, but the meaning contained in it is indeed so complicated...

"Hey! Ning Yan, that's right..." Mrs. Shen was all smiles, and gently patted the back of Ning Yan's hand.

Lan'er on the side was also full of joy, watching this long-awaited warm moment, she couldn't help dipping the corners of her eyes with a brocade handkerchief, to get rid of the unclear feelings in her heart.

It was already noon at this time, and there was no sign of Shen Haoyue's return. Everyone knew that after sending these envoys away, he must have entered the palace to meet the current emperor, and was left behind to discuss matters.

At noon, the old lady didn't let Ning Yan leave, but stayed in her inner house to eat. During the meal, Ning Yan and Lan'er accompanied her from side to side, talking about happy things from time to time. During the meal, The three talked and laughed happily.

It was dark and early in winter, and when Shen Haoyue returned to the mansion, it was already time to light the lanterns.

After entering the door, he handed over the reins of the horse in his hand to the servant. Shen Haoyue took off his silver helmet, put it on his hand, and walked slowly towards the general's pavilion.

During this half day, he went into the palace to meet the emperor Nangong Huan, and went to hand over the order. Since then, the mission of the envoy was successfully completed, and then he discussed with the emperor about the peace negotiation. Such a delay would last for a long time .

After coming out of the palace, he went to the barracks again, because during the morning fight with the group of masked men in black, two soldiers accidentally received minor injuries. Disappointingly, when he returned from the woods When they were on the official road, the soldiers had already been dispersed, and not a single man in black was caught.

When he came to the barracks, Shen Haoyue told the 150 guards who went with him in the morning not to publicize this matter, but to keep their mouths shut, and ordered to give some silver taels to the two injured people so that they could heal their injuries.

Although no one was captured alive, Shen Haoyue understood in his heart, because he had already seen the true face of the man in black at the head, and he didn't have time to think about it when talking with the emperor, but now that everything has calmed down, it's time to kill him. Let's take a good look at this strange thing...
