Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 295 Marriage
The day before New Year's Eve, Ning Qing and Princess Jiarou finally returned to Zhanjing.

Two people in one carriage, Jiarou County will take Ning Qing home first.The carriage stopped at the gate of Ning Qing's house, and after getting out of the carriage, Lu Xiang, the maid of Princess Jiarou who stayed in Zhanjing, rushed over.

"Princess, something serious happened at home." Lu Xiang said.

"What's the matter?" Princess Jiarou asked.

"It's the second girl and the third girl who are married." Luxiang said anxiously: "No, it's the third girl who married into the second girl's house. Ah bah, it's the second girl who got the third girl to her house..."

Ning Qing chuckled, and Jia Roujun patted Lu Xiang on the head: "Are you talking in your sleep? What's going on?"

"Ji Fang'er married into the Luo family, and Ji Yan'er married into Kang Dingbo's mansion." Chunjuan said.Ning Qing only took Huiping out.

"What?" Princess Jiarou couldn't believe it.

Chunjuan and Luxiang immediately told about Ji Fanger and Ji Yaner.

Ning Qing was dumbfounded.She had always guessed that Ji Fanger was a reborn daughter, and that she framed her for profit, and Princess Jiarou probably offended Ji Fanger in her previous life, and Ji Fanger caused Princess Jiarou to have a miscarriage.

She first suppressed her about the opening of the dance hall, thinking that she would settle down for a while.During this period of time, because of the matter of Shui Jingdong's daughter Shui Bingzhen, Ning Qing didn't care about Ji Fang'er, so she avoided going out of Beijing first.

However, I never expected that this Ji Fang'er is really non-stop, and even a married couple can make troubles.It's like a pile of shit, whoever touches it is disgusting!

"Sister Qing, I'm going home." Princess Jiarou forced a smile and got into the carriage.

Seeing Princess Jiarou's carriage going away, Hui Ping said, "Girl, what is that Ji Fang'er doing?"

Contrary to Princess Yongshun, Ning Qing and Hui Ping's first reaction was that Ji Fang'er did it.

"I guess, Kang Dingbo's mansion must not be a good in-law's house." Ning Qing said.

Why don't you want to marry?That is a good gentleman that everyone envies, but she abandoned such a family and hid in Luo's house, so it must be that Kang Dingbo's mansion is a pit of fire or a den of wolves.

"Poor Ji Yan'er, she was tricked all of a sudden." Ning Qing said.

"I don't know what Princess Jiarou will think." Hui Ping said.

"Sister Rou is a sensible person, but she couldn't accept it for a while." Ning Qing said.If it weren't for the sensible person, Princess Jiarou wouldn't have reconciled so readily when she had a miscarriage.

"Princess, the palace sent a message for the New Year's banquet last night." Chun Juan said.

"Okay, I get it now."

"By the way, Mr. Mu went somewhere after Miss went out." Chunjuan said.

Ning Qing thought that he was looking for her, and carried her around every night to play, even Huiping didn't know, it was like cheating, Ning Qing couldn't help laughing, and walked back to the house.

After the meal, a servant girl of Princess Jiarou came and explained that they would enter the palace together with the Tiangong banquet.

"Is Princess Jiarou going too?" Chunjuan was a little worried: "She just divorced not long ago, and Wu Pengfei's family will definitely attend."

"Then it's even more important to go." Ning Qing said: "Otherwise others will think that Sister Rou is wrong or afraid of them."

Later, when Ning Qing went to the study, she found that her account book had already been reconciled.Ning Qing knew that Mu Fan must have done it for her again.

She walked to Mu Fan's room.

He was reading a book leaning against the bed, his legs were covered by a feather quilt, his long hair was not combed, it was all gathered to his left chest, cascading down, winding on the bed.He held a book in his slender right hand, his long eyelashes drooped slightly, and his expression was focused. Under the faint candlelight, his ordinary and sparse facial features reflected a poetic and picturesque sense of tranquility.

The beauty of this kind of painting is so beautiful that people can't bear to break it. It seems that if you look at him like this, your heart will be burnt, and your heart will feel better.

Ning Qing watched obsessively, his clear eyes glanced over, smiled slightly, and beckoned to her: "Come here."

Ning Qing thought he was delicious, and he waved at her, and couldn't help it anymore, and rushed towards her.

With a low smile, Mu Fan hugged her into his arms and covered her with the quilt.

She found the most comfortable position in his arms and lay down, and then said: "You are right to help me with my account book?"

"Ah."

"The ledger was sent over on December [-]th. You went to find me, why not?"

"I took all your ledgers with me. I was right when you were with Princess Jiarou." He put down the book and kissed her forehead.

"Oh, thank you. You're so quick."

"I'll help you all the time, huh?" He hugged her and stroked her little face.

"You have done my work, so what should I do?"

"You just play." He smiled lowly and kissed her upturned nose, "You can play however you like, okay?"

"Not good." Ning Qing got up from his arms and yawned, "I'm going back to sleep."

Then he left the room.

Mu Fan smiled helplessly, when will the days of being a jerk end?
Although he has given up his identity as the son of Prince Chen and the identity of the royal family, he will not abandon his country.So he will not be an official in Tianshui, nor will he be a businessman, because his identity is sensitive, and he said that he is a cousin of Ning Qing, so he is from Tiansheng. Ning Qing is enough for Tiansheng's businessmen, and one more , Emperor Wenxuan couldn't tolerate it.He couldn't go back to the rivers and lakes to fight and kill, otherwise he wouldn't be able to give her a stable life.

If she wanted to end this kind of innocent life of the female lead outside the male lead, she had to wait for her own will.But she obviously didn't want to.Because she still wants to break up at any time.

The next morning, Mu Fan got up early, and together with Ning Qing, they posted Spring Festival couplets and hung lamps.Tomorrow is New Year's Day.

At noon, they had a reunion dinner, and then Ning Qing went back to the room, and the two maids, Hui Ping and Chun Juan, began to apply makeup for Ning Qing.

Mu Fan sat on the side and looked at her.

Seeing him sitting by the side, Ning Qing didn't chase him away. She looked back at him and smiled, then looked in the mirror.

Mu Fan watched Chunjuan loosen her hair, and the crow-black hair hung down like a cloud. Mu Fan still remembered the silky feeling of inserting his fingers into her cloud hair and sliding down.

Chunjuan's hands were very skillful, pinching Ning Qing's silk hair, gently picking and slowly combing it was a chic cloud bun and drooping braid, with broken golden glass flowers on the hairpin.Ning Qing went behind the screen again, and changed into a set of gorgeous clothes after a while and came out.

She was already a stunning beauty, but when she put on makeup like this, she was so beautiful that it took one's breath away.

"I'm afraid that all the women in Zhanjing will hate you if the Princess is present like this." Chun Juan sighed.

"Don't you have to wear a veil?" Ning Qing smiled, she was so beautiful and charming.

Mu Fan couldn't look away, she seemed more beautiful than she was three years ago.

After being amazed, he lowered his eyes.Such Qingqing was once the flower in his palm. He wanted to tie her up and only hide her in his arms, so that no man could see her.

And now, she finally walked in front of everyone step by step.

Ning Qing looked back at him, Mu Fan stepped forward and took her little hand: "Leave?"

"Yeah." Ning Qing said, "It's going to be time for application."

Mu Fan held her little hand and walked out the door step by step: "Do you want to go with Princess Jiarou?"

"No. Meet at the place where the cars are parked in the palace."

After a few words, the two came to the garden, where the carriage stopped.

Mu Fan sighed slightly, picked her up and put her in the carriage.

Seeing him looking at her reluctantly, Ning Qing tilted her little head, and put her hand on the hood behind his neck: "It's snowing, don't let the snow wet your hair." She put her hood on snow photographed.

"Yeah." He kissed her on the lips and took a step back.

Hui Ping and Chun Juan got into the carriage, the curtain was drawn down, and the carriage drove out.

After walking for half an hour, they finally entered the palace. Ning Qing got out of the car and saw Princess Jiarou and Princess Yongshun approaching.

Princess Yongshun still doesn't like Ning Qing, but thinking that Ning Qing can embolden Princess Jiarou, she can only follow them.

"Sister Qing, you're here." Jia Roujun smiled and stepped forward, holding Ning Qing's hand: "Let's go."

The two entered the palace together.

Princess Jiarou had just reconciled, and it was a time when there were many disputes, but when they entered the hall, no one talked about Princess Jiarou, because everyone's eyes were on Ning Qing.

"This is Princess Ning, she really recovered her appearance!"

"That's right, she was dancing on a winter night a few years ago, and later she opened a dance hall. I watched from afar."

Most of the ladies looked at Ning Qing with jealousy.It is natural for a woman to be jealous of a woman who is more beautiful than herself.What's more, Ning Qing was originally a well-known disfigured and ugly girl, but now she has regained her appearance all of a sudden, and she is still so beautiful. The gap and imbalance make many noble girls jealous.

Those noble sons of noble families wished to glue their eyes to Ning Qing.

"She is Princess Ning, and she is not engaged yet."

"I'm 16 years old this year, not too young."

"He is alone here, without elders, so naturally there will be no one to preside over the marriage."

The aristocrats who have always disdained to talk about marriages all talked about Ning Qing's marriage.

Wu Pengfei also looked this way, first he was taken aback by Ning Qing's appearance, then he looked at Princess Jiarou, but Princess Jiarou didn't look at him, but was talking to Ning Qing.

Wu Pengfei became angry from embarrassment, turned his head away with a serious expression on his handsome face.

From the Wu family, only Wu Pengfei and his son came, and the He family was not present. Wu Siwan, who was pregnant for six months, wanted to come, but she didn't dare to make a mistake under Wu Huaicheng's eyes.

"Sister Ning Qing." Baili Haitang stepped forward with a smile.

"Sister Haitang, are you still Tianyan?"

Baili Haitang smiled and said nothing.She came with a dowry, how could she go back.

"The emperor is here! The queen is here!" The eunuch's sharp voice sounded.

Ning Qing pulled Princess Jiarou back, Baili Haitang said: "Let's sit together."

"Okay." Ning Qing smiled.

After a while, Emperor Wenxuan, Empress Jia, Concubine Yao and other high-ranking concubines arrived together.

This was the first time Ning Qing saw Shui Jingnian since he left Beijing at the request of Emperor Wenxuan.

It looks like the two haven't seen each other for two months.Shui Jingnian is dressed in the orthodox attire of a prince with black python patterns, luxurious and coquettish yet revealing some calmness.

Shui Jingnian saw Ning Qing at the first sight, saw that Ning Qing was not wearing a veil, and finally restored her original stunning appearance.The nose was sore, and I was so excited that I was about to cry.

After everyone saw the ceremony, the banquet began.

A group of little emperors and grandchildren were hugged by the nanny to eat.

Ning Qing swept her eyes away and was relieved not to see Shui Bingzhen.She didn't want Shui Bingzhen to come out suddenly and call her mother.

"I want a big rice cake that looks like a tiger!" shouted a little grandson.

"I want one in the shape of a dragon!" Another four or five-year-old girl who looked like a jade carving picked up a piece of dragon rice cake, and then unexpectedly handed it to Emperor Wenxuan: "The one in the shape of a dragon is for the emperor. Because Grandpa Huang is a dragon!"

"Reward!" Emperor Wenxuan was amused by her, and he waved to her, "Come here."

This is Shui Jingnan's daughter Shui Bingyu, who immediately ran over and sat in Emperor Wenxuan's arms.

Shui Jingnan and his wife looked at each other excitedly.

Shui Bingyu was still holding a rabbit-shaped rice cake in his hand, looking left and right.

Emperor Wenxuan said, "Yu'er, what are you looking at?"

"Grandpa Huang, Yu'er is looking for Sister Zhen." Shui Bingyu said, "This rabbit is for Sister Zhen."

"Oh——" Emperor Wenxuan let out an ooh, and then looked at the little grandchildren: "Why don't you see Zhen'er?"

Shui Jingdong's eagle eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately stepped out, ran to the main hall, and said with a sad face: "Father... Zhen'er is ill."

"Why are you sick again?" Emperor Wenxuan frowned, "Didn't you just get sick a month ago?"

"Father, isn't Zhen'er sick again?" Shui Jing Dong said: "Zhen'er's illness has not recovered."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Father, Rili Wanji, she is a little girl and I just let my son worry about it."

Only then did Emperor Wenxuan remember that Shui Jingnian had put off a lot of work during this time.

"Can you ask a doctor to see it?"

"I've seen it." Shui Jingdong said with a more painful expression: "The doctor is saying that she is suffering from depression."

"You're only five years old, what do you think?" Emperor Wenxuan laughed angrily.

"It's because she's a small person that she's stupid." Shui Jingdong smiled wryly: "She is thinking of the princess who passed away."

"It's not been more than a year since I walked away, why did I commit Yusi?"

"Originally, she also accepted the death of the princess, until..." Shui Jingdong looked at Ning Qing as he said, the inevitable smile flashed in his eyes, and he still said with a sad face: "Until a month ago , Erchen wanted to send her to Princess Ning's dance hall to learn how to dance, she immediately identified Princess Ning and said that Princess Ning was her concubine."

Shui Jingdong's words made the whole hall explode with a bang, and everyone stared at Ning Qing in amazement.Ning Qing was so angry that her little face turned blue, she never thought that Shui Jingdong was so shameless!
The people around started talking: "But Princess Ning and Princess Rui don't look alike at all!"

"Not only is there no one like it, but it's even worse!"

Shui Jingnian held his head tightly, his gorgeous peach eyes flashed with an excited smile, this bitch Shui Jingdong finally came out of his hole!Grandpa's chance has come!

"Ning Qing is nothing like Princess Rui." Emperor Wenxuan said.

"Erchen thinks so too." Shui Jingdong showed a helpless wry smile: "But Zhen'er recognized it at a glance. I went back to ask her at night why she was attached to Princess Ning. She said that Princess Ning's clothes that day looked very After getting along with Princess Ning, I felt that Princess Ning’s gentle attitude and tone of voice were like Princess Ning. Erchen also talked with Princess Ning, and found that Princess Ning and Princess Ning were not similar in appearance, but The personality of Nei Li is very similar. Children are the most sensitive, so I immediately recognized it."

Everyone listened and talked in disbelief.

Because the late Princess Rui was weak and sick, she seldom went out and had few contacts, so not many knew her true personality.

"Later, Zhen'er decided that Princess Ning was the concubine, and she shouted all day long to see her concubine. But Princess Ning is an innocent daughter's family, how could Zhen'er ruin her reputation so much, so the minister severely Taught her a lesson, but who knew, she fell ill after being scolded by Erchen. She was still unwilling to take medicine when she was sick. Later, Erchen had no choice but to ask Princess Ning. Shan, after coming here once, Zhen'er took medicine. Later, the Princess has something to go out, and Zhen'er can't always bother Princess Ning, it will be bad for Princess Ning's reputation."

"Then now..." Emperor Wenxuan frowned.

"Now, Erchen told her to take medicine if she is not obedient, and she will take medicine if Princess Ning doesn't come, but even after taking medicine, she still won't get better. The imperial doctor said she was depressed." Shui Jingdong As she said that, tears came to her eyes: "Although Zhen'er is a daughter, she is Erchen's only child!"

"I have thought about it, and now the reputation of Princess Ning has been affected, and Zhen'er really needs a mother. After contacting Princess Ning, I found that Princess Ning's kindness is really rare." Girl, I beg my father to marry Princess Ning to my son."

The words of Shui Jingdong once again exploded in the hall, and there are various speculations.

But the reasons given by Shui Jingdong are too good!He didn't seek Ning Qing's money, nor did he covet Ning Qing's potential or peerless beauty, but because of the red line held by his daughter!He is a dignified prince asking for marriage in public. No matter how Ning Qing wins the favor of the emperor, he is also a princess with a foreign surname, and it is also related to the life of the little emperor's grandson.

If Emperor Wenxuan didn't agree, he would hit Shui Jingdong in the face, and even disregard the life of his granddaughter!That reputation will suffer too.

"Father!" At this time, Shui Jingnian came out and knelt down in front of Emperor Wenxuan: "I remember that two months ago, father Xu Erchen had the right to marry independently. Father also wanted to point out that marriage between Erchen and Ning'er Is it right?"

Shui Jingnian's voice gave Emperor Wenxuan a choice, and Emperor Wenxuan had a promise first!It is also reasonable not to agree to Shui Jingdong. As for Shui Bingzhen's body, he can take care of it slowly, and at most Ning Qing can let it go.

A stern look flashed in Shui Jingdong's eyes, and he took a heavy breath of anger.The game he spent so much time on was broken by Shui Jingnian!

"Ning'er..." Shui Jingnian was very excited in his heart, but on the surface he looked very calm and helpless. He kept winking at Ning Qing, which meant to get her to agree, and everyone could pretend to be husband and wife. !That's what it means!
Ning Qing also realized it, but she didn't want to.She walked to the front of the hall, knelt down, and broke out in cold sweat.

"Ning Qing." Emperor Wenxuan looked at Ning Qing. After thinking about it, he still felt that Ning Qing and Shui Jingnian were more suitable.

He was about to speak, but Ning Qing's heart trembled, and she kowtowed, her voice trembling: "Go back to the emperor...my minister...my minister has already been engaged to me."
