Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 288
"Hey, Fang'er, what's wrong with you?" Princess Yongshun asked anxiously.

Hong Zhui and Qian Momo immediately helped Ji Fang'er, only to see that Ji Fang'er had passed out, her face was pale, and she was sweating profusely, as if she had an emergency.

"What's the matter, girl?" Wei asked with a worried face.

"It must have been kneeling for too long, and my body couldn't bear it." Bai Nao said.

"Help me back quickly." Princess Yongshun said.

Hong Zhui and several nuns hurriedly took Ji Fang'er down.Princess Yongshun asked Nanny Bai to ask for a doctor, and she came back to talk to Wei Shi.

Wei Shi asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Miss?"

"It's okay, I'm tired." Princess Yongshun said, "How is the old man?"

"Oh, I got a sudden illness." Wei Shi said, "So, go ahead if you can."

"I don't know when Madam wants to arrive early?"

"December." Wei Shi said.

"Is this too rushed?" Princess Yongshun said: "My second daughter is going to get married in December." The eldest princess Yongshun was talking about Ji Yan'er, the concubine's second daughter, and the engagement date is December. The tenth day of the month.

"That's good, let's go out together." Wei immediately smiled and said, "This is double happiness! You don't need to bother, you can prepare two at a time, saving trouble and effort."

Princess Yongshun frowned, how could Ji Fanger be the same as Ji Yaner!She wanted to make a big deal for Ji Fang'er.

"My old man's condition cannot be slowed down." Wei Shi said, "If it doesn't work..."

Princess Yongshun's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately said, "If that's the case, let's make it so."

Now the initiative is in the Kangdingbo Mansion, let's not say that Ji Fang'er has a bad reputation, the Kangdingbo Mansion is taking advantage of it, just say that the old lady in the Kangdingbo Mansion is ill and cannot be delayed, adding up, it is appropriate to withdraw the marriage!But you know there are a lot of noble girls waiting there!
"Bai Momo, get Huang Li." Princess Yongshun said.

After a while, the almanac was brought over, and Princess Yongshun flipped through it: "Fang'er is a sheep, which coincides with the tenth day of December. How about just the fifteenth day of December, after five days. No matter how urgent you are, you can't wait." Not bad for five days, is it?"

"Okay." Wei Shi nodded immediately.

……

The news that Ji Fang'er copied Ning Qing's dance was known to the whole Zhan Jing.

Princess Yongshun immediately released the news, saying that Ji Fang'er did not copy it, it was the same inspiration, otherwise she would not have performed in front of Emperor Wenxuan.

The people who eat melons didn't believe it at first, but it was later spread that Kang Dingbo's mansion not only did not withdraw their marriage, but also advanced the wedding date, so everyone believed it somewhat.

Because, who is Lu Chengping's son in Kangdingbo's mansion?

Originally, Ji Fang'er married to others is already a high profile, I don't know how much jealousy she has suffered, other people just don't understand, how can such a good family, young talent, fall in love with a concubine daughter!
Therefore, if Ji Fang'er was that kind of person, she wouldn't marry her.Anyway, Ji Fang'er's reputation is not so bad, but it's not that good either, both good and bad.

When the news reached Jinweihou's residence, He was very angry.

Originally, Princess Yongshun's most beloved concubine caused such a scandal. The He family and Jinwei Houfu were extremely happy, and they even had a falling out with Ning Qing. For them, it was dog bite dog!It even lowered Princess Jiarou's status!It seemed that they were as clever as Li.

"That Lu Chengping is really blind!" Mrs. He snorted coldly, then glanced in the direction of her daughter Wu Shuying's room.

This Lu Chengping was originally her favorite son-in-law, but she didn't expect that she would not like the daughter-in-law of the Jinweihou Mansion, and instead chose a concubine from the Princess Mansion who has no account!
"Mother." Wu Siwan came over holding her belly.Wu Pengfei accompanied her and carefully asked her to sit down.

"You guys came just in time, the government's marriage letter has already been delivered." He said.

"The wedding..." Wu Siwan looked at He Shi and Wu Pengfei eagerly.

"Let's hold a small banquet according to the concubine's room," Wu Pengfei said.

Wu Siwan was startled, a look of loss and injury flashed across her face, she looked at Wu Pengfei with teary eyes.

Wu Pengfei immediately comforted her and said, "Look, you've been six months old. Could it be that you're getting married with a big belly? No one in Zhanjing now knows about our affairs. If we do this, won't we be laughed at?"

Wu Siwan bit her lips secretly, that's what she said, but which woman doesn't want to sit in a sedan chair and get married with Feng Guanxia draped all over her!However, if she really dared to do this, it would be a big joke!Besides, she was weak.

……

Ning Qing's dance hall has officially started operation.

In just ten days, the three dance halls had a total of about [-] students.Although there are not many people, this is just the beginning. As soon as the first batch of results come out, more people will come here attracted by the name.There are little girls aged six or seven, and girls in their teens.

Today is the official opening day of Ningqing Dance Hall.

Ning Qing has been preparing for the dance hall for more than a year. She bought a few young girls and learned ballet from her for more than a year.Although it is still a beginner, it is enough to teach these people, and they will gradually improve in the future.

Ning Qing came to the main store after breakfast, and heard a burst of crying as soon as she entered.

"I want my concubine! I want my concubine! My concubine—" That Zhen'er would fly over as soon as she saw Ning Qing.

Don't mention Ning Qing, she didn't want to come, but today is the first day of school, if she doesn't come, she doesn't pay much attention.

Hui Ping immediately stopped Zhen'er.

Ning Qing looked at the nanny who was chasing after her and said, "Is Princess Zhen'er here to learn how to dance?"

"Of course," said the nurse.

Ning Qing said: "I see, she seems to be here to play around. My dance hall is here to teach, so she will affect others. Or, this nanny will come back after coaxing her?"

"Actually, I don't want her to learn dancing." Shui Jingdong suddenly appeared and said with a smile: "As Princess Ning said, take her out and walk around more often. But she seems really unwilling, but she likes Princess Ning very much. It's better to ask Princess Ning to teach her personally. This child is very poor, he lost his mother at such a young age."

Ning Qing's eyes darkened, but she said, "Okay."

Shui Jingdong raised a smile on his lips, "Then please trouble Princess Ning."

Ning Qing took Zhen'er's hand: "Come on, what's your name?"

"My name is Shui Bingzhen..." Shui Bingzhen whispered.

"Zhen'er, if you want my sister to teach you how to dance, you have to promise my sister one thing first." Ning Qing said.

"Okay." Shui Bingzhen nodded obediently.

"Don't call people indiscriminately, elder sister is not called mother concubine, you have to be called elder sister."

Shui Bingzhen glanced at Shui Jingdong and nodded.

Shui Jingdong immediately smiled and said: "Look, Princess Ning has a solution. Once you coax her, she will be obedient, and she will leave it to you in the future."

Ning Qing just smiled. "This is the place where girls learn to dance. Your Highness should not stay for long. Please go back."

Shui Jingdong glanced at Ning Qing reluctantly, his eagle eyes flickered slightly, he smiled and left.Anyway, she had fallen into his net!There is no way to escape!
Ning Qing looked at the direction in which he was leaving with a gloomy face: "Hui Ping, am I similar to the deceased Princess Duan?"

"Not at all." Hui Ping said.

Ning Qing nodded, and dragged Zhen'er into an inner room.

……

On the road a hundred miles away from Zhanjing.

A large group of soldiers and horses was rushing towards Zhanjing, led by a beautiful man who was Shui Jingnian.

"Master, I just received the emperor's decree, asking you to go to Licheng to welcome Marquis Jinwei back first." Shouyi stepped forward.

"Cut!" Shui Jingnian snorted coldly: "An unprovoked errand for the master."

"My lord, this is a good thing!" Ping Xing said: "The Marquis Jinwei's mansion has returned in triumph, I'll let you see it first, and then you can make friends with Marquis Jinwei. This is the most important general of the emperor!"

"Master, don't you know! Let's go!" Shui Jingnian turned around and rushed to Licheng as soon as he reined in.

"Master, are you thinking about the princess?" Ping Xing said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the princess has been using the ice feather orchid for more than a month, and the wound on the face should be healed. Even if there are some marks, some makeup can cover them up. I'm afraid that the princess will have many suitors when she restores her appearance."

"I've never been afraid!" Shui Jingnian laughed loudly: "Ning'er will not agree to anyone, nor will she like it! If there are really many suitors, I will thank them."

"Why is that?" Ping Xing asked.

"You are really getting more and more stupid." Shui Jingnian said: "Ning'er is hurt by love, and she plans to never marry for the rest of her life. Now, father is worried about her marriage. If more people pursue her, wouldn't it be a waste of money?" Is she cornered? At that time, she can only choose me."

"Maybe the princess chooses not to marry."

"You can't choose this way." Shui Jingnian said: "Father likes to be a matchmaker the most, and father also intends to match us."

At that time, he would tell her to live together as a partner, without love or any messy feelings, just live together, and she would always agree.

Ping Xing couldn't help but glance at Shui Jingnian, and muttered thoughtlessly: "It's not that the slave is getting more and more stupid, it's that you are getting more and more calculating."

Normally, if Shui Jingnian suddenly received an order to transfer to pick up Marquis Jinwei, he would definitely not have responded, because he was in a hurry to return to Beijing to see Ning Qing, and there might have been a fuss, but now, he responded immediately.Because he knew that it would be of no benefit to him.His political consciousness is getting stronger and stronger, and he is becoming more and more stable.

Just as Shui Jingnian and the others turned around and left, a group of twenty flying riders galloped past the official road leading to Zhanjing.

"There's still a hundred miles left, but it's over!" Qingfeng panted uncontrollably.

Rao's martial arts are as high as theirs, so they can't bear it if they travel day and night without rest.In particular, the closer Zhan Jing got, the more anxious he became.They took the land route instead of the canal, so it took them two months to travel from Wuyun City to Zhanjing.

After walking for another day, I finally entered the city at noon the next day.

A group of people came to an inn in Zhanjing to stay, and let Xiao Er pull down the mount and feed it.They were so hungry all day and night that they went to the inn, but they didn't even eat.

Qingfeng said: "Qinghe, follow me to Biao girl's place to take a look, Qingying, bring your brothers and wait here."

"We're going too!" Qinghu stood up.

"Everyone hasn't figured out the following things, so don't be impulsive. Just sit down!" Qingfeng said coldly: "After His Highness left, you really became more and more impatient. Don't get involved in these bad habits, Your Highness doesn't like it."

"Brother is right, let's all sit down." Qing Ying said.

"Qinghe, let's go." Qingfeng said.

Qingfeng Qinghe left the inn and walked all the way to Wutong Lane.Not far away is Anning Garden where Ning Qing lives.

At this moment, they were startled, and their steps stopped.

I saw a bright red blood-like figure immediately in the vast white snow, holding an oil-paper umbrella, and his ink hair was like a waterfall, making his face a little pale.

He has an ordinary appearance and ordinary facial features, but he has an outstanding temperament and a peerless elegance, which gives people a sense of astonishment.

Squatting beside him was a thin fifteen or sixteen-year-old attendant, who was scraping the snow under his feet.Judging by the situation, he has been standing here for quite some time.

"It's snowing again, next time I'll wear boots with higher soles." The servant boy said with a pout.

"Well, come out next time with double high bottoms." The man in red said calmly.

At this time, a luxurious carriage came, passed by Qingfeng and Qinghe, and finally stopped in front of the gate of Anning Garden.

The man in red immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand, put a tender white hand in his palm, and helped out a stunning beauty.

"Why did you come out?" Ning Qing frowned slightly.Ning Qing didn't like him going out casually, and Mu Fan seldom went out.

"It's past lunch time." Mu Fan said, "Usually you're back by this time, so I'm worried about you."

Ning Qing felt warm in her heart: "Then let's go eat quickly."

Mu Fan smiled slightly, took her hand and walked in, turned around, looked towards the side of Qingfeng Qinghe as if feeling something, his ordinary eyes narrowed, and when he entered the door, he helped Ning Qing into the house.

Qingfeng Qinghe looked at the deserted alleyway, his eyes became hot, he didn't know whether it was excitement or sadness.Or, both!

Because they have already recognized that it is really their master Song Zhuo!

Sure enough, he came back to her again!

They always thought that she was just a woman, and His Highness would come back after relaxing outside. They never expected that he would be so infatuated!

It's sad that someone who was once so proud would put on such a low profile just to stay by her side.

Instead of going back to the inn, they went to a dilapidated alley on Wensheng Lane in Zhanjing.Standing there, one stop until late at night.

It wasn't until the alley was empty and the bell of the second watch rang that a blood-red and gorgeous figure slowly approached.

The same red clothes, dark hair, but different from the warm and soothing ones seen in the daytime, but with a gloomy temperament. The red clothes are like mandala blossoms, like a monster who can strangle people, and there is a strange beauty all over his body, which makes people One cannot look away.

"Your Highness!" Qingfeng and Qinghe knelt down excitedly.They knew he would come because he had knocked on the door for their signal before entering during the day.

"This is the last time I see you, you go." Mu Fan's voice had no warmth.

"Your Highness, we realized our mistake, please don't drive us away again." Qinghe couldn't help crying.

"Your Highness, we don't care. Please, at least think about the Empress Dowager." Qingfeng said: "Since you left, the empress has shed tears every day."

Mu Fan only said: "I have been listening to her for 18 years. Now, please let her obey me once. You just tell her that I am fine. If you still think about the feeling of master and servant back then, don't come again , you are disturbing my life."

He didn't scold, didn't shout harshly, he just told the truth calmly, but it made Qingfeng Qinghe feel like he was struck by lightning.

He turned around and left, Qingfeng couldn't help asking: "Is this the life you want?"

"Yes." His figure had disappeared around the corner.

"Ah—" Qinghe couldn't help but roared, and knelt down on the snow.I don't know if it's the cry of despair or abandonment, maybe it's both.

When Mu Fan returned to Anning Garden, he couldn't help but walked into Ning Qing's room.

Ning Qing was sleeping curled up when he came in, bringing a gust of cold wind, which made her shiver, and opened her eyes in a daze, and saw Mu Fan sitting next to her.

"Why are you here?" Ning Qing got up and yawned.

"Can't sleep, come to see you." He couldn't help but nuzzled her.

"I don't believe it." Ning Qing dodged and giggled, "It's cool."

Mu Fan laughed lowly, Ning Qing said, "Where did you go?"

"Some old ministries are here."

"Oh." Ning Qing leaned on her arm and asked indifferently, "Are you leaving?"

"You want me to go?"

Ning Qing's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and finally closed her eyes: "It's nothing to think about, everyone has his own ambitions."

Mu Fan's eyes were full of sadness, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "My ambition is to be with you. My old branch has been disbanded. I will not leave, and I will be by your side for the rest of my life. Qingqing. "

His soft voice made her heart beat wildly, especially the last soft call, she took a deep breath, and managed to suppress her heartbeat.

In the end, she didn't know what to think of, and she snorted softly: "A man's heart is like a cloud in the sky. Today it is round, and tomorrow it will be square. The lifetime you talk about is a woman's lifetime, but not yours."

Mu Fan suddenly fished her out and hugged her into his arms: "Bad girl, don't talk nonsense, huh?"

"Go away!" Ning Qing giggled and hurriedly pushed him: "You were the one who started talking nonsense!"

"I never talk nonsense."

Ning Qing snorted softly and ignored him.She just closed her eyes and snuggled into his arms quietly without saying a word.

She likes this feeling very much, quiet, detailed and warm.
