Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 262 Send me to the blue sky

"Have you heard that there is a woman outside who was named princess by the emperor?"

"Which lady is it?"

"It's not a noble woman, but a commoner. It's Miss Ning who can make ice thaumaturgy!"

In Ziyue Palace, Princess Yiyang sat up from the bed with a bang.Just because Su Feng stabbed her a few words, Princess Yiyang was heartbroken and ran back to the palace. Unexpectedly, after a while, she heard the news that Ning Qing was named princess!
Princess Yiyang was greatly stimulated: "That ugly monster! A pariah! Why is she named princess!"

"Princess..." her maid Lan Li said, "Princess, please calm down."

"Calm your anger? Hmph! How do you let this princess calm your anger!" Princess Yiyang was so wronged that tears fell out: "If it wasn't for her, the emperor would beat me up? If it wasn't for her, Mr. Su would stab me in front of so many people. Me? Why did Mr. Su help her? She must have been deceived by her appearance! She is obviously an ugly monster, but she wears a veil and pretends to be stunningly beautiful to seduce Mr. Su! Deceive everyone! This princess will expose her now! Father punishes her for the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Princess Yiyang said that she was about to rush out. Lan Li knew her master's temper, and when she got angry, ten cows couldn't hold her back!Hastily said: "Princess, you can expose her true face, but you can't act like this, please listen to this servant."

Princess Yiyang turned around immediately and listened to Lan Li's advice.

Since Lan Li was chosen by Concubine Yao to be Princess Yiyang's personal maid, she is naturally shrewd and clever with a lot of means.Otherwise, it would not be enough to die ten times a day with Princess Yiyang's insane energy!
Lan Li said a few words in Princess Yiyang's ear, Princess Yiyang nodded repeatedly, and left Ziyue Palace.

In Qunfang Palace, the banquet was coming to an end, Emperor Wenxuan yawned and was about to finish the banquet when Princess Yiyang came out: "Father!"

"It's Yiyang, hey, why didn't you attend just now?" Emperor Wenxuan looked at Princess Yiyang and said warmly.

"I'm a little tired." Princess Yiyang said with a smile: "I was resting, and suddenly heard that someone was named princess, I don't know who it is."

"It's her." Emperor Wenxuan looked at Ning Qing with a smile.

"Isn't this Miss Ning?" Princess Yiyang laughed: "Hey, Miss Ning was wearing a veil when she entered the palace just now. Why did she still wear it when she saw her father? How disrespectful!"

"Yiyang!" Shui Jingnian was furious. "You've seen her face hurt!"

Princess Yiyang made a funny face at him: "I haven't seen it, I don't know!"

"You obviously..." Princess Jiarou wanted to argue for Ning Qing.But when he reached his mouth, he stopped, and touched his heart tremblingly.

If she said that Princess Yiyang insisted on taking off her veil even though she knew she was hurt on her face just now, and now she bullies others like this, it means that Princess Yiyang is mean and uneducated!This Princess Yiyang is mean and uneducated, whose face did she slap?Of course it is the face of the royal family and Emperor Wenxuan!

Even if Princess Jiarou is the most beloved niece of Emperor Wenxuan, she can't bear to face him in such a way in front of the ministers and merchants!

"Father, I really wanted to take off Miss Ning's veil just now, and it was all because I was angry!" Princess Yiyang said aggrievedly: "Obviously the banquet is about to start, and I want to see Father, she She is still wearing a veil. Is this showing contempt for the emperor? It is rumored that Miss Ning has a wound on her face, but no one has seen it. If there is a change in the future, I don’t know.”

Having said that, Emperor Wenxuan's heart trembled, and everyone present also felt that this matter was no small matter.

Ning Qing had already stepped out and knelt down to the center of the hall again: "The princess is right. Even if there are injuries on the face, you should show your true colors if you want to see the sky. Originally, the courtiers were afraid that the injuries on the face would stain the eyes of the emperor. , now...since the princess wants the ministers to take off the veil, the ministers should take it off."

With that said, Ning Qing gently removed the veil.

I saw scars of different shades criss-crossing on her fair little face.She had used the medicine prescribed by the old doctor for more than a month, and her face was no longer uneven and hideous due to scratches, only scars of different shades remained.

When Ning Qing was wearing the veil, although she could only see a pair of watery eyes, but just like that, she was already stunningly beautiful, and now she suddenly revealed half of her scarred face, the gap between stunning beauty and ugly all of a sudden and Impulse.That kind of beauty is very glamorous, but it is suddenly destroyed, but it brings out a cruel and strange beauty.Let everyone here gasp, there is no disgust or disgust, but full of regret, pity and sympathy!

Su Feng was also taken aback, looking at Ning Qing with complicated eyes.Which woman does not love beauty!Let alone a woman, he also cares about his appearance!If another woman's face was ruined, she would have committed suicide long ago!Even if he doesn't commit suicide, he should hide in the house and dare not go out to meet people.

But this Ning Qing not only showed his face all day long, but also fought with him to this point, Su Feng couldn't help feeling admiration for Ning Qing!
Shui Jingnian glared at Princess Yiyang angrily, Shui Jingdong narrowed his eagle eyes, with a playful smile on his lips.

Princess Yiyang still doesn't know the psychology of everyone, she only thinks that Ning Qing's true face has been exposed, and an excited smile flashes in her eyes, hehe, ugly!Now everyone finally knows that she is an ugly monster!

Princess Yiyang wiped the corners of her eyes, and said apologetically, "It turns out Miss Ning is really hurt, but this princess is also for the dignity of the royal family. Miss Ning will understand, right?"

"Of course." Ning Qing put on a veil, her voice was delicate and soft, her eyes were filled with tears, and there was a sense of grievance.

Seeing Ning Qing being so wronged, the officials couldn't help but sigh and sympathize.

"Oh, what a pity, she was supposed to be a stunning beauty, but she is like this!"

"Who killed Qiandao? It's really hateful!"

Emperor Wenxuan also had a burst of sympathy: "The wound on your face..."

Ning Qing was about to reply, when old doctor Zhong stood up: "Your Majesty, can I let this old minister take a step forward?"

"Yes." Emperor Wenxuan said.

Doctor Zhong was walking to Emperor Wenxuan's side, and whispered in Emperor Wenxuan's ear: "Your Majesty, the former minister showed the injury to Princess Qianting. Her injury was scratched by herself!"

"What did you say?" Emperor Wenxuan was shocked.

"I heard that she was given to be a concubine by her family. She didn't want to, so she destroyed her appearance and escaped. Later, she was brought back to Tianshui by His Highness the Eighth Prince." Old Doctor Zhong withdrew right after finishing speaking.

Emperor Wenxuan's eyes were complicated, even filled with tears.

Because of Emperor Wenxuan's biological mother, the late Empress Dowager Sheng'an also ruined her face!

When the first emperor was in power, the young Emperor Wenxuan and the Empress Dowager Sheng'an were framed and designed by traitors, causing their mother and son to be reduced to a den of bandits.Emperor Wenxuan was only eight years old at that time, and the Empress Dowager Sheng'an was still as beautiful as a flower, and was forced by bandits to become the woman of the bandit boss.The Empress Dowager Sheng'an escaped unharmed by self-destructing her appearance for the festival of protecting her name.

Later they were saved, and because of the self-destruction of Empress Dowager Sheng'an, their reputation was preserved, and Emperor Wenxuan ascended the throne smoothly without any stigma!

It's a pity that the Empress Dowager Sheng'an died of illness on the eve of Emperor Wenxuan's enthronement, and she didn't even work as a queen mother for a day.This became the eternal regret and pain in Emperor Wenxuan's heart!

Now, Emperor Wenxuan looked like Empress Dowager Sheng'an, self-destroying her appearance in order to protect her reputation, and couldn't help but have a kind feeling for Ning Qing!I wish I could compensate Ning Qing for everything I owed to the Empress Dowager Sheng'an back then!

"Your Majesty!" The eunuch Zhang Zhi followed Emperor Wenxuan since he was a child. He was Emperor Wenxuan's confidant and worm, and he could see through Emperor Wenxuan's mood at a glance.

When Zhang Zhi thought of the Empress Dowager Sheng'an back then, he also had a deep feeling!But he remained calm, and quickly reminded Emperor Wenxuan not to lose his composure.

Emperor Wenxuan was stunned, but then he came to his senses, and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.At this time, he looked at Ning Qing again, no longer just admiring her, but also with a complex emotion of compensation like a debt.

Emperor Wenxuan's solemn voice sounded again: "Ning Qing canonized as Princess Qianting of the second rank, and bestowed a thousand taels of gold and ten dendrobiums of pearls!"

Everyone gasped when they heard the words, Shui Jingnian was so excited that he almost jumped up.

There are also ranks of princesses. In Tianshui, there are many estranged and useless princes, or princesses who are born out of concubines. The daughters of these people are also called princesses, but most of the time they have no titles and no clear ranks. The name is also called nice.

And Princess Qianting, whom Ning Qing named at the beginning, also had a good name, but now, Emperor Wenxuan's words are of the second grade, and the meaning is immediately different!That is graded!Officials below the second rank have to kneel when they see her!Moreover, Emperor Wenxuan also gave him something, showing how much he attaches importance to Ning Qing!

Princess Yiyang was so angry that she fell backwards, she didn't understand why, not only did her father not dislike this ugly girl, but he also gave her the title of the second rank, and rewarded her with so many things!

How can you do this!Princess Yiyang almost screamed, Concubine Yao glared at her coldly, and Princess Yiyang's scream got stuck in her throat.

Lan Li's face was pale, she really couldn't steal the chicken and lose the rice!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ning Qing kowtowed to Emperor Wenxuan.

Emperor Wenxuan smiled and watched Ning Qing salute, his eyes full of kindness.

Concubine Yao was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
She remembered the day when she forced Ning Qing to marry Yao Gaoyuan, but when the marriage failed, she also forced to recognize her as her daughter, seeing that Bian Ningqing had no one to protect her!Either come back to look for her in despair, or seek refuge in the Shuijingdong formation.

Unexpectedly, after only one month, Ning Qing really found a backer!And it is the biggest backer in Tianshui!Emperor Wenxuan!Concubine Yao suddenly remembered from Emperor Wenxuan's complicated eyes that Empress Dowager Sheng'an also ruined her face!Then as long as Ning Qing doesn't make a big mistake, Emperor Wenxuan will protect her!
It was like slapping her in the face!

Empress Fu of Tianshui also squinted her eyes when she looked at Ning Qing, because Ning Qing was involved with Shui Jingnian, so naturally she was not in her camp!
"Let's leave the table!" Emperor Wenxuan smiled and stood up.

Concubine Yao Gui and Empress Fu got up immediately, followed Emperor Wenxuan to leave, and everyone also got up from their seats and left one by one.

Ning Qing found Dr. Zhong, and gave a blessing: "Thank you Mr. Zhong."

"Little girl, you deserve it." Old Doctor Zhong just laughed and left.

A smile flashed across Ning Qing's eyes.In order to gain a foothold in Tianshui, how could she not find out the background and preferences of the important nobles in Tianshui.

It is not a secret that Empress Dowager Sheng'an self-destructed her appearance to be chaste, but it was a virtue praised by Tianshui and promoted.

Knowing that she had such an advantage, she wanted to get close to Emperor Wenxuan, the great backer!

And ice making, in this era, is really eye-catching!She never thought of making money from this at all!The reason why she made ice was just to cause a sensation!Breaking into the upper business district even attracted the attention of Emperor Wenxuan.

And Su Feng and other merchants are jealous of her, and she has already expected it.

She doesn't care about how to fight Su Feng, she just wants to hold him back!Fool him!Until tonight, she throws her ice-making skills out there!Bo a good impression!Then she lifted the veil at an appropriate time, why would Emperor Wenxuan not pity her?And Princess Yiyang became a god assist!
She was originally thinking about how to tell the story of her self-destructive appearance without any trace, but she didn't expect that old doctor Zhong's good wind would help her to the blue sky!Make her plan more flawless!
"Hehe, Miss Ning... No, princess, what a good way!" Su Feng walked over with a smile.

A smile flashed across Ning Qing's eyes, but she said softly, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Su Feng just smiled: "I hope that without your ice-making skills, you can still gain a foothold in the Zhanjing business district."

Ning Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "I accept your words. Brother Shui!"

Shui Jingnian has already walked over: "Ning'er, brother Shui will take you back."

"it is good."

Su Feng watched the two talking intimately in a low voice, and walked away side by side. One was exquisite and beautiful, and the other was gorgeous, with the appearance of a man and a woman, like a pair of lovers.Su Feng didn't know why, and felt a little bit confused.

……

Danyi Palace——

Concubine Yao was half tilted on the couch, but her beautiful face was so gloomy that water dripped out.

Aunt Li stood aside, not even daring to breathe, Gu Cai pointed at the orchid, "Madam, don't be angry, even if she found a big backer, so what, now she doesn't have the ice-making skills! Even if she has a big backer, wouldn't it be Can she make a lot of money every day?"

Concubine Yao gritted her teeth: "This ice-making skill should belong to me! It's the money I used to do great things! Now... Humph! Little bastard! I'm so pissed off! Now I don't have the ice-making skill , she is worthless!"

Concubine Yao really hated Ning Qing!But now Ning Qing is protected by Emperor Wenxuan, and Shui Jingnian puts her at ease again. Concubine Yao Gui will never do thankless things. If she deals with Ning Qing, she will not offend Emperor Wenxuan again .This is not worth the candle!

"Let's all go out! I want to be quiet and quiet!"

Purple Moon Palace——

Princess Yiyang is not as calm as Concubine Yao Gui. As soon as she returned to Ziyue Palace, she cried like a ghost, smashed everything, kicked Lan Li, picked up a whip, and whipped all the maids and eunuchs in Ziyue Palace. yell.

"Bad maid, it's all your trick! Otherwise, Father will definitely not promote her again!"

Lan Li was really wronged.Could it be that Princess Yiyang will go to the emperor if she doesn't offer advice?Obviously she was the one who wanted to do this, but now it's all her fault!

In fact, she didn't offer any advice, she just asked Princess Yiyang to be more skillful in speaking, don't go straight to the emperor and yell that Ning Qing is an ugly monster, a bitch, she must take off her veil!Let the whole world know!

If Princess Yiyang really did this, the consequences would be disastrous!
Obviously it is Princess Yiyang who is mentally disabled, she has already taught her to use the most tactful and perfect way to get rid of the mentally disabled, so why blame her?
……

In the early morning of the next day, the palace sent the imperial dress and phoenix crown of the princess of the second grade, 5000 taels of gold, ten dendrobium pearls, and a lot of jewelry and antiques that were still awarded by Emperor Wenxuan.

Shui Jingnian came here with the eunuch who passed the decree. The eunuch took the imperial decree and read it in the Anning Garden, which was to make Ningqing the princess and other matters.

Ning Qing kowtowed and accepted the order.The eunuch passed the decree and left.

Shui Jingnian said: "Ning'er is the princess now, do you think it's too small to live here, because your status is not what it used to be, and I'm afraid you will cause trouble, so you need to recruit more servants and guards, up and down It won’t work if you don’t have more than a hundred people. Why don’t you buy another house on the busiest main street?”

Ning Qing smiled and said, "No need, it's quiet here. How about buying the house next door and opening it up, and the servants will be able to live there."

"Alright, the house next door is unoccupied."

Just as he was talking, there was a burst of giggles: "Sister Qianting lives here?"

I saw two beautiful girls standing at the door, they were Princess Jiarou and Yiqianqian.Princess Jiarou took a look inside: "It turns out that Cousin Nian is also there!"

"Princess Jiarou." Ning Qing greeted with a smile.

Princess Jiarou and Yi Qianqian hurriedly returned the gift, Princess Jiarou said: "Sister Qianting, this is Yi Qianqian, my best girlfriend is a girl from Zongweibo Mansion."

"Meet the Princess!" Yi Qianqian smiled softly.

Ning Qing hurriedly returned the gift, and then took Princess Jiarou's hand: "Thank you Jiarou for your words of help yesterday."

Princess Jiarou stuck out her tongue: "Well, I'm not helping you! Hehe!"

"I received Jiarou's heart." Ning Qing smiled.

"I've wanted to be with you for a long time!" Princess Jiarou said, "You are so powerful, you can make ice! Sister, let's be good friends from now on, can I come to you often to play?"

"Yeah." Ning Qing nodded.

"Then let's report a name and age. My original name is Ji Rou'er, and I'm 15 years old."

Yi Qianqian said, "I am also 15 years old."

Ning Qing said, "I'm fourteen."

Princess Jiarou and Yi Qianqian gasped, and in the next second, Princess Jiarou blushed.Because she called Ning Qing her sister as soon as she entered the door, it turned out that she was a younger sister than her!

It's no wonder she misunderstood, because Ning Qing was out alone, and he could make ice, open a shop, make a lot of money, and was invited to a business banquet in the end.Most people were already shocked when they saw a girl in her teens, so she maximized her age for no reason, and she was covered with a veil. Many people guessed that she was seventeen or eighteen years old.

It never occurred to me that she was still a 14-year-old girl.

"From then on, you will call us Sister Rou and Sister Qian, and we will call you Sister Qing." Princess Jiarou said.

"Okay." Ning Qing smiled and said, "Come in, and I'll ask someone to remove the tea."

Shui Jingnian stood aside, watched the three girls having a good chat, and left quietly.Because he knew that Ning Qing had no real friends in this world, how could he disturb two of them.
