Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 30 Miss invites, dare not refuse.

Su Clan froze on the spot, and the fingers placed by his side trembled slightly: "You... what do you want to say?"

"The second prince came back on July [-]th, auntie, this day is Ghost Festival." Shen Ninghua's voice was not high, but it stirred up waves in Su's heart.

Hearing Shen Ninghua's cool voice, Su Shi trembled: "You mean...it's impossible today, the empress doesn't have that much courage."

"I didn't believe it at first, but being a mother is better...Auntie should be able to understand it." Shen Ninghua sighed slightly, "I just don't want my aunt to regret it after something happens. This time I fell into the hands of the Zhao family. For the sake of face, they will definitely not let it go. My mother passed away, and my father ignored me. I am alone, and I have nothing to worry about. But my aunt is different. I am grateful for the many times my aunt helped me, so I reminded One or two. If Auntie doesn’t believe it, just treat me as nonsense.”

Su Clan was silent for a long time: "Ninghua...let me think about it..."

Shen Ninghua smiled: "Auntie, don't be so worried, maybe I'm overthinking. Bizhu, send Auntie back."

"Yes, ma'am."

Sending away the devastated Su Shi, the expression on Shen Ninghua's face slowly faded away.Bai Lu replaced the cold tea in her hand: "Miss, are you worried about the second lady?"

"Although the second aunt has a sharp personality, she is not a scheming person. She can naturally understand the power of this."

"Since that's the case, what is there to worry about, Miss?"

Shen Ninghua frowned: "What do you think of Chu Junyi?"

Bai Ping was stunned for a moment, and he thought about his words and said: "This servant has only seen Mr. Chu twice, and I feel that he seems to be more informal and takes care of young lady."

Shen Ninghua shook her head: "It's okay, you go and see that the Zhao family sent over everything is complete, if it is complete, I will brew the wine today."

Hong Ling said: "Miss, do you really want to make wine for Miss Biao?" Although Zhao Ruyun knelt down and apologized, she still couldn't swallow her breath. What should I do if I trouble Miss after she recovers?
"Since you promised, you should do it. After I brew it, you will send the wine to the Zhao family, and ask your aunt to ask the imperial physician to check it. You can come back after making sure there is nothing wrong. Be sure to tell your aunt and cousin that the wine It must be used for [-] days before it can be used, if it is not enough..."

"Hehe, yes, Miss, don't worry, I will definitely bring this to you." Hong Ling pursed her lips and chuckled, but she remembered that the wine would be of some bad use if it couldn't be put in time.

Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes, looked up at the particularly glaring sun outside the window, a haze lingered in her heart: In her previous life, the second prince also came back on July [-]th, she remembered that on this day, the entire capital was empty, and everyone knelt down to the second prince Shouting, as if overnight, the name of the second prince spread, and everyone praised him for his bravery, skill in fighting, and brilliance.The second prince gained a large number of supporters, but the emperor only rewarded him with some gold, silver and jewels, and even did not let him touch military power for a long period of time afterwards.

As a king, the most taboo is that others' reputation is too high, even if this person is his own son!The fact that the prince was able to suppress the second prince later had nothing to do with this incident.

"It's still too young." Shen Ninghua murmured, then got up and went to the desk to continue copying.

Two days later, people flocked to the streets.The turmoil caused by the return of the second prince is beginning to take shape.

Su Shi and Shen Ninghua sat on the second floor of Linyue Pavilion, looking out at the crowds of people outside through the window.Seeing a young man in armor, Su's eyes turned red suddenly: "It's Hua'er!"

Shen Ninghua looked at the boy: "My cousin is darker than before, but he is also stronger. Auntie can rest assured."

Su looked at her: "Ninghua, is what you said before true?"

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, Auntie doesn't need to care."

Hearing what she said, Su's eyes were full of worries: "My husband and I only have this one child. Ninghua, back then your mother risked her life to give birth to you. I can understand that feeling. If it were me, I would make the same choice.”

Shen Ninghua snapped her fingers: "Auntie said yes."

"Ming people don't speak dark words, Ninghua, I can feel your hostility towards the eldest lady and the Shen family, and I am willing to be your ally, but there is a premise that nothing will happen to my second wife."

"My aunt is kind to me, and I never repay my kindness with revenge."

Looking at Shen Ninghua's smiling eyes, Su's hanging heart slowly returned to its original place.If it was the past, she would never believe that a 14-year-old girl could be trusted.But seeing that the eldest lady failed to frame her and was forced to hand over so many things, and seeing Zhao Ruyun knelt down under Zhang's pressure to admit her mistake, she suddenly realized that this girl was different.As long as there is nothing wrong with her room, the Shen family has nothing to do with her.

"The second prince is a thousand years old!"

"Auspicious Your Highness!"

"..."

Downstairs, the people knelt on the ground, and the excited voices were overwhelming.

Su's expression was a little proud: "The second prince really made a great contribution this time. Even the common people are especially grateful to him. It is good that Hua'er can get experience." As a mother, seeing her child Urinating like that to the frontier battlefield, she felt both distressed and extremely proud, and she didn't know how to express that kind of contradictory mood for a while.

Shen Ninghua lowered her head and drank tea: "The people are definitely excited, but they seem to be a little too excited."

Su Clan was taken aback, thought about it carefully, and suddenly turned pale: "Ninghua, you mean these people..."

"Auntie can also think of it. After all, after General Su led his people to defeat the Dayue Kingdom, he handed over his military power and returned home. The emperor tried to persuade him to stay, but General Su did not compromise. In the end, the emperor accepted and withdrew the king's reward. That’s why General Su stayed in the capital, only to be a general with no authority.”

Su's face became paler and paler, how could she not understand, how can someone in power allow others to snore beside the couch?If it weren't for the grandfather's wise protection, how could the Su family have the glory now?

"Then what should we do now, Hua'er should not be implicated, after all, he is so young..." There must be someone among the people who is encouraging people's hearts, deliberately pushing the second prince's reputation up.

Shen Ninghua handed Su Shi a cup of tea, and saw that she looked much better before she spoke: "The emperor is wise and powerful, so naturally he won't implicate his cousin, but as a member of the second prince's team, even if he is not punished now, future ones will not be punished." The official career will also be a lot of ups and downs." The reason why the eldest lady was able to suppress the second wife and completely control the entire Shen family had a lot to do with Shen Xuanhua's obscurity.Now that Mrs. Su is helping her with all her heart, she will naturally raise a point or two.

Su's eyes turned cold, and he looked downstairs again. The prince had already brought the officials from the Ministry of Rites out to greet him.

Baili Jinyi, who was dressed in a bright yellow prince's costume, was exceptionally handsome. He seemed to be a born king. Even though the distance was so far away, Shen Ninghua could still feel the noble aura on him.

The second prince was wearing armor. Compared with the gentle and noble prince, he was more like a brave warrior.

The whole welcome ceremony reached its climax when the prince toasted the second prince. Thousands of people knelt down and shouted, and the second prince raised the wine jar and drank it all in one gulp.

Shen Ninghua looked downstairs with a smile: "Auntie, hurry up and get ready. My cousin is young, so he probably doesn't need to go to the palace to face saints. At this time, he should return home as soon as possible."

"Well, then I'll go back first." Su got up and took two steps, then suddenly turned around, as if she had made up her mind, "Ninghua, if you can keep your promise, my second room will always support you, no matter what you do what!"

Shen Ninghua's smile pierced her eyes: "Thank you, Auntie, I will definitely not let down your sincerity." If the Su family can really do what she said, then she doesn't mind protecting a few more people.

After watching the prince's gentle and courteous expression for a while, the smile on Shen Ninghua's lips deepened: "Bai Ping, let's go back."

Who would have thought that when she turned her head, she didn't see Bai Ping and the others, but she was looking at Chu Junyi's eyes full of smiles, and she didn't know how long he had been standing here.

"Where are they in Bailu?"

"I'll have someone invite some of the girls down for a cup of tea. Don't worry, I'll send her a hair here after a while." Chu Junyi sat across from Shen Ninghua while talking.

"Mr. Chu, why don't you go down to join in the fun? I heard that His Royal Highness the Second Prince has a good relationship with the Xiao family." The second prince's mother's family has some relationship with the Xiao family, so he was able to get the emperor's attention all the way. When you have no real power, you can lead troops into battle.It's a pity that this relationship is unstable after all, and the Xiao family is only loyal to the imperial power. Later, when the second prince fell down, although he didn't make trouble, he didn't help him in a timely manner.

"It's not that there is an old saying that a watch is three thousand miles away. Although the second prince's mother, Concubine Lan, is a cousin of the Xiao family, but..." Chu Junyi stopped before he finished speaking, and Shen Ninghua naturally understood the meaning.

"This momentum is really huge, I am afraid that even the emperor's personal conquest is nothing more than that."

Chu Junyi's eyes moved: "Miss is really outspoken, and she is not afraid of committing a crime of disrespect."

Shen Ninghua turned her head: "What did I say?"

"You..." Chu Junyi suddenly let out a muffled laugh, "That's right, here are all my people, and your words can't be spread, and I don't have any evidence to prove what you said. It's really not easy to punish."

Shen Ninghua smiled without saying a word, but thoughts were surging in her heart.Just now she saw clearly that although Chu Junyi concealed it very well, when he looked at the prince and the second prince, there was clearly inexplicable contempt and coldness in his eyes.This makes people have to think deeply.

Chu Junyi looked downstairs for a while, seeing that there was nothing to see, he ignored it: "Do you still like the Ye Mingzhu I gave you last time?"

"Of course I like it, but you didn't ask for a gift in return, so I have to give it. It's my grandmother's birthday in a few days, do you want to come?"

"Ask me to pay a birthday greeting?" Although Xiao Shi has a royal order, he also has a reputation. He has no interest in paying birthday greetings to a woman in the backyard.

"No, I invite you to come to the theater." Shen Ninghua's eyebrows were gorgeous, and her eyes were so bright that Chu Junyi was dazed after seeing it, and he was stunned for a moment before returning to his senses.

"Miss invites you, don't dare not refuse."
