Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 49 Are You Shen Ninghua?
As soon as she walked into the palace gate, Shen Ninghua saw Xiao Shi standing not far away and looking at her with sharp eyes. When she saw her coming, she immediately questioned: "Didn't I tell you to follow carefully, this is the palace." In the inner courtyard, you can't go wrong with the rules, do you want to implicate the entire Shen family?"

Shen Ninghua knew that she was taking the opportunity to play, and wanted to vent some grievances on herself that made Zhao's mother and daughter fail.But she didn't want to be reprimanded for no reason: "Second sister did a lot of things before and didn't see anything, but it made me feel relaxed, and I ask grandma to forgive me." Shen Linghan was taken into the palace by the fifth prince and slipped around. No, she went back safe and sound, now Mrs. Zhao will be released, you can deal with Shen Linghan and Zhao Yunxiang if you have the ability, she is not a soft persimmon who can be squeezed by anyone who comes.

When Chu Junyi heard this, the smile in his eyes flickered, he pretended to drop by and nodded slightly, and then walked away steadily.

Xiao Shi gave Shen Ninghua a vicious look and said: "Okay, the roots of the wings are hard, and I haven't learned how to fly yet, so I'm flapping around hard, hum." If she really thinks she can do anything, then she doesn't care about anything, look Who is unlucky in the end.

Su knew in her heart that Shen Ninghua was a strategist, but seeing Xiao's appearance now, she still couldn't help but worry, after all, the imperial palace was no better than Shen's residence, and if there was a slight mistake, her life would be in danger.

Sensing Su Shi's worry, Shen Ninghua smiled comfortingly at her, lowered her head slightly and followed behind Xiao Shi.If it is said that the place she is most familiar with is probably the imperial palace in front of her, and she even knows the location of several ancient trees planted clearly.She is Shen Dong's legitimate daughter, her identity is here, as long as she doesn't make a big mistake, it is not easy to kill her.

Before it was time to start the banquet, those who came early were waiting at the Bifang Pavilion.When Shen Ninghua followed Xiao Shi to the door, many people had already arrived, and some of them sat and stood talking happily.

"My maidservant has seen Mrs. Xiao. When the empress heard that the old lady was coming, she had prepared snacks in advance and invited the old lady to sit down." As soon as Mrs. Xiao stood still, a maidservant came up to greet her and salute.

"Please trouble Miss Mei Xue."

Mei Xue is the eldest maid next to Empress Zhao, her status is higher than that of the general promises and regulars in the palace, and now she is assigned to personally guide Xiao to take her seat, which shows that the empress intends to give face to the Shen family.

Mei Xue had a friendly smile on her face, her attitude was submissive but not humble, and she behaved extraordinarily well-mannered: "Old Madam Xiao is so annoying, the Empress has personally ordered her servants to take good care of you several times. Whatever you need, just ask for it."

Xiao Shi didn't even dare to say that she didn't dare, Mei Xue smiled and didn't talk to each other. After Xiao Shi sat down, she looked at Shen Ninghua: "This is the eldest lady. When the lady heard that the eldest lady came back, she kept saying that she wanted to see her."

With a faint smile on Shen Ninghua's face, she got up and bowed slightly when she heard the words: "Please trouble Miss Mei Xue to thank your mother for caring on behalf of my servant."

"Miss Shen is too polite, and this servant will definitely convey it to you." Mei Xue shrunk her pupils slightly, she was very surprised, the news from below clearly said that Shen Ninghua had not received formal instruction, but what she just practiced was clearly court etiquette.

Shen Ninghua smiled reservedly, and slightly nodded her chin, revealing a smooth and full forehead, with a fresh and beautiful look between her brows and eyes.

Mei Xue turned her head and saluted: "Old Madam, if there is anything wrong, please send someone to tell me, I will go back and report to the empress first."

"Okay." Xiao's smile was extraordinarily bright after earning enough face.

As soon as Mei Xue left, Zhao Rujun brought Shen Linghan over and said, "I've seen the old lady."

Shen Linghan's face was filled with unconcealable excitement, seeing Xiao Shi's immediately gloomy face towards her didn't embarrass her, she just called out softly: "Grandmother."

"Where have you been?" Xiao Shi was displeased.

"I..." Shen Linghan bowed her head.

Zhao Ruyun held her hand and explained to her: "I just took my cousin to see the queen's aunt, and my aunt praised her so much. The banquet is about to start, so I will leave first, old lady forgive me." leave directly.

Xiao's face was green and white, and he snorted coldly and scolded Shen Linghan: "Sit down first."

"Yes." Shen Linghan moved to the side obediently, but kept tightening the fingers covering the sleeves.

Seeing her actions, Shen Ninghua couldn't help feeling a little puzzled in her heart. Even after seeing the queen, Shen Linghan shouldn't be so excited. Could it be that something happened in the queen's palace...

Not long after, Mei Xue came back again: "Ladies and gentlemen, you can sit down now."

Everyone stood up and straightened their clothes, waiting for everyone to stop and stand still.Xuezhu turned her head and signaled that dozens of court ladies entered in order, leading everyone to the Wan'an Pavilion where the banquet was held in sequence.

Shen Ninghua and Shen Linghan walked forward side by side, and as they walked, a bright yellow tassel was faintly exposed from Shen Linghan's sleeve.Shen Ninghua's heart jumped suddenly, and a guess came to her mind: Could it be that Shen Linghan saw the prince in the Queen's Palace?In this palace, other than the emperor, the crown prince is the only person who can use bright yellow. If the emperor rewarded something, Shen Linghan should have shown it to Xiao Shi long ago. Only the crown prince's stuff would she hide like this.Suppressing the surging thoughts in her heart, Shen Ninghua sat in her seat following the maid who led the way.

Wan'an Pavilion is huge, except for the seat on the front seat which is empty, the other places are already full of people.Shen Ninghua glanced around, and met the eyes of the second prince Baili Jinchuan.

Baili Jinchuan picked up the teacup in front of him and raised his head veiledly, and took a sip with his head down.Shen Ninghua smiled and nodded in return, but then glanced at Baili Jinze, who couldn't see any emotions or anger, her heart flickered, the second prince was crowned the county king, Baili Jinze must have gone crazy with anxiety, after all, he couldn't see anyone better than him it is good.

Chu Junyi, who was sitting diagonally opposite Shen Ninghua, saw the movements of the two of them, lowered his eyes to hide the emotion in his eyes, and the emotions around him became slightly colder.

"The emperor is here, and the empress is here."

Everyone knelt down and saluted. After a burst of clear pearls and jade sounds, a majestic and deep voice sounded: "Pingshen."

Shen Ninghua looked up slightly at the emperor Baili Qingcang who was sitting high on the top.He is already 58 years old, his hair and beard are faintly gray, but the aura around him is very complicated.He had just been bowed down by the officials, his aura was icy cold, and his expression was like a sharp knife soaked in the cold pool. When he came out of the water, his murderous aura was revealed and his sharp edge was revealed, which made people tremble with fear at a glance.But now, he has restrained his sharpness, and he is as peaceful as the surface of a lake blown by a breeze, which makes people feel close to him.

Baili Qingcang looked at everyone: "The second prince is brave and good at fighting. He guarded the peace of our Daan border and drove the army of Dayue Kingdom out a hundred miles away. I am very happy in my heart. Today I specially hold a celebration banquet, so there is no need to worry about the monarch and his subjects. It’s better to be happy.”

"Your Majesty is merciful." Everyone quickly knelt down, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

When everyone sat down again, Baili Jinchuan got up: "Royal father, I am ashamed to be my son. The border can be peaceful, it is not the strength of my son alone, it is the contribution of thousands of soldiers who are not afraid of life and death, and serve the country bravely. The title of minister also bestowed a salary of one thousand gold, and my son felt uneasy, and was willing to exchange all the rewards for silver money to accommodate the families of the soldiers who died on the battlefield."

When Baili Jinchuan heard this, he was full of praise: "As expected of a real son, well, I will do as you say."

"Thank you, Father."

All the ministers expressed their praises one after another, praising the wiseness of the emperor and the kindness of the second prince. For a moment, Wan'an Pavilion was full of praise and joy.

Shen Linghan looked at Baili Jinchuan with a somewhat unhappy expression, as if with great resentment.Shen Ninghua couldn't help frowning, Shen Linghan hasn't learned how to be good, it's a big taboo to leak emotions on such an occasion, especially the second prince, is she crazy?Fortunately, everyone's attention is on the emperor.

"The banquet has begun." After the servant announced loudly, the sound of silk and bamboo rang out immediately, and everyone began to push and change glasses, so it was lively.

Shen Linghan quickly calmed down and lowered her head.

The emperor said that there is no distinction between the emperor and the ministers, no matter how dare everyone dare not exceed the rules, they must act lively.

Shen Linghan personally poured two glasses of wine, raised her glass and said to Shen Ninghua: "Sister, I was ignorant before, and I misunderstood my sister about some things, please don't blame me, this glass of wine is my apology to my sister, please forgive me .”

Shen Ninghua turned to look at her: "The things that happened during this period are so extreme that I can't even remember what happened. Is my sister apologizing for that incident?"

Shen Linghan shook her hand holding the wine glass, her smile froze suddenly: "The past is over, and I will definitely obey my sister's orders in everything from now on." After speaking, she raised her head and drank the wine.

Shen Ninghua picked up the wine glass, the wine was clear with a faint fruity aroma, it was Da'an's extremely precious passion wine.

"Eldest sister doesn't want to drink, but still annoys me?"

Shen Ninghua raised the corners of her lips, raised her head and drank the wine: "No." She was not annoyed, but hated!

Shen Linghan was extremely happy, with a bright smile on her face.

Shen Ninghua's brows were indifferent, she turned her head and stopped guessing what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd, the soldiers came to cover the water and earth, and waited for her to make a move before dealing with it.

Suddenly, she felt a gaze fall on her body, and she couldn't help but follow the feeling to look over, Baili Qingcang!The person looking at her turned out to be the emperor Baili Qingcang!Shen Ninghua restrained herself from bowing her head, looked at him suspiciously, and even smiled with her eyes bent.

Baili Qingcang's eyes trembled, and after a little surprise, he raised the corners of his lips: "Are you Shen Ninghua?"

Shen Dong hurriedly put down his wine glass, stood up and wanted to apologize, but heard Shen Ninghua's crisp voice: "Return to the emperor, my daughter is Shen Ninghua."

"Yeah." Baili Qingcang sized her up and praised, "You look good, how old are you?"

"Go back to the emperor, my servant fourteen."

"Well, go back and sit down." As if just to ask these few words, Baili Qingcang stopped paying attention to Shen Ninghua.Others guessed in different minds, the emperor usually could understand a hundred or eighty kinds of meanings when he frowned, not to mention that now he was paying attention to a little famous lady in the boudoir.

Shen Dong knew that the book of war that the second prince presented to the emperor was bought from Shen Ninghua. Could it be that the emperor noticed her because of this?
Empress Zhao Huiying said: "Prime Minister Shen has raised two good daughters. Ninghua has an outstanding appearance, and Linghan is very talented. Besides, I heard that Linghan and Shen's eldest son are twins. I have never seen them before. See you all together."

Shen Ninghua looked up and saw that Zhao Huiying was wearing a red queen's palace dress, with the Chaoyang Wufeng hanging bead hairpin on her head, twelve gold hairpin jade cards tied her hair high, her eyebrows were like daisy, her lips were like vermilion, and she spoke in a voice. Unhurried, with an air of grace and luxury, like a lofty phoenix, it makes people feel ashamed.

At this time, with one word from her, everyone's attention was drawn to Shen Linghan!
