Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 39 Why is it so bad
Today, Ning Qing was conceiving new embroidery and patterns in the room, Chu Rui ran back excitedly: "Girl, good news, His Royal Highness is back!"

"Ah?" Ning Qing put down what she was doing.

"Yes, yes! Back to Beijing!" Chu Rui was so happy that she rummaged through the house, "I heard that as soon as I come back, I will go to the palace to face saints. What should the girl wear later? This one or this one?"

Cousin is back, so her free days are coming to an end soon!Ning Qing sighed leisurely, very depressed.

……

Song Zhuo stayed in the palace for a long time and didn't go home until noon.This time he did things very well, not only was he rewarded generously, but he was also promoted to a higher rank.

This is a happy event, and for the emperor's reward, the Prince Chen's Mansion wanted to express its gratitude, so Concubine Sun asked Yuehe Princess to bring the girls, the fifth son Song He, and the sixth son Song Qiao to welcome him outside the gate.

Rongchang Street was under martial law by Qing Dao, two troops cleared the way, the sedan chair carried by 16 people stopped in front of the main entrance, and Song Zhuo came out from inside.

Wearing a brocade robe with a deep purple python pattern, a golden crown for hair, a jade belt to seal his waist, and black satin cloud boots, the solemn and luxurious attire of a prince's son makes him less elegant than usual, and more dignified and aloof, imposing Impressive, handsome and extraordinary.

Ning Qing watched from afar, hiding behind a few girls, only showing half of her face, and glanced at him.

Song Zhuo just glanced into the crowd, but saw Ning Qing at a glance.

Because the little girl looks so eye-catching.

These June and July are the hottest time of the year, but she has not been tanned at all, and her skin is fair and tender. Because of the heat, there is a thin layer of red on her face, like a natural layer. peach makeup.

Eyebrows are lowered, and the glance just now, like a deer looking at a hunter, is really pleasant.

There was a smile in Song Zhuo's eyes, and he walked up the stairs, only looking at Ning Qing and said: "It's hot, so there's no need to come out to pick it up. Are you busy these days?"

Ning Qing stood with her head bowed very obediently, and only whispered: "It's okay, okay."

I saw Song Zhuo smiling, the indescribable elegance made people fascinated.

Ning Qing was also pleasing to the eye, unconsciously cheerful.Song Zhuo said: "This time my cousin specially brought you a gift, carry it up!"

Qingfeng Qinghe personally carried a wooden box, Song Zhuo said: "Open it and have a look."

Ning Qing is delighted, well, my cousin still cares about her!
Opening the box, Ning Qing slipped and almost fell over, Hui Ping supported her, Ning Qing almost burst into tears!
Because a large box is full of reading materials such as "Women's Precepts", "Women's Virtue", "Women's Training" and so on, which admonish women to follow the three obediences and four virtues, and keep discipline!
There was a burst of laughter around, and when Ning Qing raised her head, Song Zhuo had already left, and Ning Qing was so sad and wronged that she was about to cry.

Song Qihui, Yue and the princess both covered their lips with their fans, but it was obvious at a glance that they were both smiling!
County Lord Duanling was the most straightforward. He burst out laughing and clutched his stomach: "Oh, I laughed so hard! Brother Shizi's gift...is absolutely amazing! My stomach hurts!"

Song Qimei's eyes were filled with happiness and misfortune, and she laughed mockingly: "Aunt Ying is right, Elder Brother Shi Zi really 'values' you!"

The fifth son, Song He, pursed his lips in disdain, and turned back with a very unhappy expression. The sixth son, Song Qiao, gave Ning Qing a sympathetic look, and left.

Ning Qing has never been humiliated like this since she was a child, and she ran back humiliated and sad.

Chu Rui was also frightened and wiped her tears. She really couldn't understand why His Royal Highness Shizi was so bad, and bullied their girls as soon as he came back!

……

The box of books was carried to Mengzhu Residence by two nurses, and piled up under Ning Qing's small desk.

Hui Ping looked at the two boxes of books, her face turned pale with anxiety, and she was sweating coldly: "The prince must know about the fact that the girl went out to do business in public!"

"Does the son hate the girl?" Chu Rui cried miserably. "What should I do? If I knew I would fall out of favor, we wouldn't want that money! Woooooo..."

Ning Qing lay listlessly on the imperial concubine's couch, her small face was buried in the round fan and she was ashamed to see anyone.But at this time, the maid outside reported: "Miss Seven is here!"

Song Qimei came in with a fan, and she saw Ning Qing slumped, face inward, like a bird whose wings had been broken and rolled into the dirt, she was in an indescribably pitiful embarrassment.

Song Qimei laughed happily: "I've grown up so much, I haven't seen Shizi elder brother bring a gift to anyone yet, this is finally an eye-opener! Come on, where are those books, let me be rare!"

Song Qimei walked over and flipped through the pages one by one. The more she read, the more fortunate she was. She giggled happily. She wanted to see Ning Qing's jokes. It would be fun to watch Ning Qing cry and quarrel with her. .

But Ning Qing didn't even give her a positive face, and she was aggrieved and wept alone.

Song Qimei made a fuss for a while, seeing no one was paying attention, she felt that her teasing was like a one-man show, but she was a bit like a clown, with a smear of shame and anger on her face, she turned and left.

As Song Qimei walked back, the more she thought about it, the more humiliated she felt, and she said bitterly: "Why does she ignore me? I talk to her, but she ignores me. Does that mean she looks down on me?"

The corner of Juan'er's mouth twitched, her girl started again!

Sure enough, without finishing her sentence, Song Qimei's eyes were already reddened: "If it were a few older sisters, she would not dare to do this! She herself is a lowly little business girl, and she was despised by the elder brother, why should she look down on me!"

Unfortunately, she ran into Duanling county magistrate within two steps. Seeing her red eye circles, Duanling county magistrate made fun of her, "Where did you come from?"

Song Qimei blushed, and her voice was like a mosquito: "Meng...Zhuju."

After saying that, he ran away in a hurry, and County Lord Duanling looked at Song Qimei's back with disgust and sarcasm: "I have never seen such a stupid person. He wanted to anger others, but he came back full of anger!"

The maid behind her burst out laughing.One said: "County Lord, Mengzhuju is in front of you, do you want to go and have a look?"

County Lord Duanling snorted coldly with disdain: "Only people as lowly as Song Qimei go to such a lowly place."

Her maid repeatedly ordered peace, and County Mistress Duanling turned around and walked back.

Concubine Sun's residence——

Princess Yuehe was talking to Concubine Sun: "What's going on today? Elder Brother Shizi doesn't like her anymore?"

Concubine Sun said: "I don't think it's easy. According to Shizi's character, if you dislike her, just ignore her. There is absolutely no such intentional repression. On the contrary, I think Shizi cares about her more than we imagined."

Princess Yuehe nodded: "Then I'll go and comfort her."

"No need. If she is not good in the future, others will say that we are good people, but if she is favored, we will end up with the reputation of pleasing a concubine. Don't forget, there will be a princess in the future. She is only temporary. Let's ask Nanny Fang to deliver something."
