Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 165 Let's see who can figure it out!
Shen Ninghua looked at her proud appearance, her expression was cold: When she arrives in Dayue Country, I hope she can still look like this in the future.

Shen Dong's face was as cold as ice, and he looked at Shen Linghan as if he was looking at mud stuck to his clothes: "Linghan is so rude, it's all because I didn't raise her well at the beginning, and I have raised such a wicked person. Hua, from now on, father... I can only rely on you."

He originally wanted to talk about his father, but he paused and changed his words immediately. Now that Shen Ninghua is a princess, her father can only be that high-ranking emperor.

Shen Ninghua smiled slightly, without agreeing or refusing, she held the jade pendant tightly, and walked out of the pavilion slowly.

Shen Dong's face immediately turned ugly, and he waited until Shen Ninghua walked away before kicking on the stool next to him: "One and two are wolf-hearted things! Without me, without the training of the Shen family, what are you guys!"

Sitting in the lobby, Shen Ninghua watched Shen Linghan being carried into the carriage by her mother-in-law, and slowly let out the sullen breath that had been suppressed in her chest.

Shen Linghan is her heart disease, and it is still a heart disease that cannot be cured. Without her, she would not have ended up in such a miserable situation. Therefore, every time she sees her, she can't wait to crush someone to death on the ground.It's just that she didn't want a piece of rubbish to ruin the life she had managed to live again, so she endured it in every possible way, and now she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Qingque, send someone to secretly protect Shen Linghan and ensure that she arrives in Dayue Kingdom safely."

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Bai Zhi felt happy too.On the contrary, Hong Ling asked rather puzzled: "Miss, we have done our best now, why should we protect her?"

Shen Ninghua smiled: "Why do you think Bu Jinglan delayed Shen Linghan's departure for so many days? Didn't he want to go back to Dayue Kingdom by himself first, and then arrange someone to intercept and kill Shen Linghan on the way. He is the prince of a country, even if Shen Linghan is a side concubine, but she entered his backyard after all. There is a crippled man raised in the dignified prince's backyard, this is a great stain, and his temper can't bear it."

Hong Ling couldn't help interjecting from the side: "With Second Miss's temperament, even if she arrives in Dayue Kingdom, she might not be able to live in the prince's backyard. It would be useless for Miss to protect her on the way."

Shen Ninghua smiled and said nothing.

Bai Ping slapped Hongling on the head: "You have become more and more stupid recently. Miss just said that she is a stain in the sixth prince's backyard. There are more than a dozen grown-up princes in Dayue Kingdom. The sixth prince has always been the most favored, and the other princes must be jealous to death, now that he finally has a stain, the other princes will definitely find a way to keep Shen Linghan alive."

Shen Ninghua glanced at Bai Ping appreciatively, this girl is becoming more and more capable of being on her own.

After about half a month, Xiao Huanxi finally healed his body, but his whole body became more and more out of shape.

On this day, Yang Yingxue was accompanying Shen Ninghua to make embroidery samples, and Bai Bo led two maids into the door.

"I met Princess Zhaohua, I met Miss Yang."

Shen Ninghua raised her eyes and glanced at their attire: "The maid of the Xiao family?"

"Back to the princess, yes."

"What's the matter?"

"Reporting to the princess, some time ago our young lady was sick, thanks to the princess for diagnosis and treatment, now that the young lady has recovered, I specially prepared a gift to thank the princess."

Yang Yingxue looked at the boxes that had been brought in by the door, and when the door opened, a burst of golden light radiated out, making her unable to help but whisper, her face could not hide her surprise, these dozens of boxes were filled with gold.

Shen Ninghua couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. She said that saving Xiao Huanxi's life would cost 5000 taels of gold. The Xiao family packed the gold in a box and carried it into her mansion in a ostentatious way. Everyone outside knew about it.It seems that the Xiao family is really unwilling to give up, but she is also completely fearless:
"I remember Patriarch Xiao said he wanted to compensate me for a pair of golden needles. Have you sent them?"

"Here it is, present it to the princess."

Shen Ninghua opened the cloth towel and looked at the row of gold needles of various colors on it, with a smile on her lips: "That's right, go back and tell Patriarch Xiao, I will accept this thank you gift."

The maid saluted respectfully, and then took out an invitation card from her sleeve: "Return to the princess, although this thank you gift was given, but the princess saved one of our young ladies, this kindness cannot be exchanged for gold and silver." Therefore, in order to carefully thank the princess, the lady specially held a banquet and invited the princess to go."

Shen Ninghua's expression turned cold for a moment, her eyes were filled with a light that could see through people's hearts, the maid raised her head slightly and then lowered it suddenly, her back was wet with cold sweat.

Shen Ninghua, as Xiao Huanxi's lifesaver, logically speaking, the person who sent the invitation must be Xiao Huanxi himself to be sincere.But she only sent one maid to come.Moreover, Shen Ninghua took out the invitation only after Shen Ninghua accepted the thank-you gift. At this time, it would be hypocritical to refuse to accept the invitation. After all, the thank-you gift has been accepted, so is there any reason to hand the invitation back?

"Princess, Miss said that she should have personally delivered the invitation, but..."

"Since she said that she should come in person, then I will accept it when she comes to deliver it in person. You can go back."

The maid raised her head in surprise, Princess Zhaohua did not give the Xiao family face like this: "Princess..."

Shen Ninghua frowned: "Why, didn't you hear me?"

Feeling the aura of calmness and prestige, the maid hurriedly went hoarse, and walked out with a pale face.

Yang Yingxue was a little worried: "Cousin, is it not good to embarrass Miss Xiao like this?"

"What's wrong?" Shen Ninghua didn't care at all.

"After all, it is the Xiao family. Xiao Jingran is extremely influential in the court. Xiao Huanxi is his favorite daughter. If he makes things difficult for you, cousin, many things will be difficult in the future."

Shen Ninghua chuckled lightly: "Cousin, don't worry. No matter how influential Xiao Jingran is, he can surpass the royal family. I am a princess now. If he sees me rudely, I can take this opportunity to punish him for his disrespect. He is not stupid, he will definitely respect me in front of people, what am I afraid of?"

"My cousin also said that it is in front of people, if it is in a place where no one sees, they will trip you up..."

Shen Ninghua's smile became more cold: "Maybe someone is plotting against someone by playing tricks behind her back!"

Yang Yingxue was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head, feeling that Shen Ninghua was getting farther and farther away from her, no matter how hard she tried to catch up, she couldn't catch up with her, so she couldn't help but feel frustrated.

"Cousin, I have to go to the palace for a while, so I won't accompany you first."

"Ah, enter the palace? It's okay, it's okay, you just go and get busy."

Shen Ninghua nodded, and summoned the guards to seal the gold in more than a dozen boxes, and carried them out of the mansion.

As expected, there are rumors everywhere in the capital, some say that Shen Ninghua has excellent medical skills, some discuss the 5000 taels of gold she received, and there are various voices.

But soon, their attention was drawn to the street, and they saw the guards of the Princess Mansion walking towards the palace carrying boxes.The discussion among the common people became more lively.

"Is this princess going to send gold into the palace?"

"It's really worth it. That's a full 5000 taels of gold. It's gold, not silver. I've never seen so much money in my life!"

"What do you know? This is a lot of gold, but it is hot to touch. After all, it is a gift from the Xiao family to the princess. Isn't it arousing criticism for the princess to accept it, so it is natural to give it to the emperor."

"Yeah...not bad..."

Shen Ninghua ignored all kinds of arguments, and directly carried the gold to Baili Qingcang's imperial study.

Seeing the mouthfuls of boxes, Baili Qingcang smiled directly: "You ghost girl, you finally got some money, why don't you keep it properly?"

Shen Ninghua walked up to help Baili Qingcang polish the ink after paying the salute: "Father, don't make fun of me, you will understand this matter after inquiring about it. I saved Xiao Huanxi's life at the request of the Xiao family. The two gold pieces are a thank you gift. If the Xiao family really wanted to thank me, they would just let someone send the gold ticket quietly. Why make such a big fuss. They are clearly trying to scare me, and let people see that I am greedy for money Look, I can't do what they want!"

Unexpectedly, Shen Ninghua said it so bluntly, Baili Qingcang laughed directly.

The hearty laughter surprised the chief eunuch accompanying him. The emperor hadn't laughed so happily for a long time. It seemed that Princess Zhaohua really had the most sacred heart!

After Baili Qingcang laughed, he looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "Why, are you going to give all the gold to my father?"

Sensing his lenient and conniving attitude, Shen Ninghua couldn't help acting like an ordinary girl to her elders: "I originally wanted to bring in the gold, and then ask my father to exchange it for a gold ticket for me, and then tell the outside world about me. I gave the gold to the royal father. But since the royal father has spoken, the gold is naturally given to you."

"Oh? Are you willing?" Baili Qingcang teased.

"Of course I'm willing." Shen Ninghua said, but there was a trace of heartache in his eyes.

Baili Qingcang smiled even happier seeing her like this: "Okay, Ninghua is full of filial piety, so I accept it bluntly."

"Thank you, Ninghua, for helping me solve a problem."

"Well, since you have entered the palace, you can have dinner with me before leaving."

"Yes, Father."

The atmosphere in the imperial study room was exceptionally good. Baili Qingcang was regarded as the elder Shen Ninghua sincerely accepted, and she also said a few words to amuse her heartily, and the meal passed quickly.Shen Ninghua played a few more games of chess with Baili Qingcang before leaving.

Not long after Shen Ninghua returned to the mansion, a servant from the palace came with imperial edicts and rewards. Although there were only six full boxes, the value of the contents was almost the same as 5000 taels of gold.

Not long after that, news spread that Princess Zhaohua donated 5000 taels of gold, all of which were sent to the south of the Yangtze River to stabilize the embankment and protect the peace of the people. The emperor issued an order to praise her again.

Immediately, many officials, wives, and ladies followed suit one after another, and many common people and noble gentry generously donated their money. In just three days, the court received millions of taels of silver without abolishing Hui Zhili. Shocked, he decreed to praise those who had donated the most money, and personally conferred an official post for a wealthy gentry.

For a moment, there were voices praising the emperor's wisdom.

Yang Yingxue was dumbfounded and went to the palace to give away 5000 taels of gold. In just a few days, the reward has made up for the silver, and the reputation has been greatly earned back...
