The Queen's death anniversary was approaching, and this time the Emperor decided to sit alone in the temple for three days and recite scriptures about the Queen's afterlife.

Mo Lingwei also wanted to accompany him. In order to wait for an opportunity to show off, the King of Shu offered to accompany him.

Shen Ningning was also invited, she was there to accompany Mo Lingwei.

However, a few days before the little girl's departure, Ye Changyi said to her in a panic: "Ning Ning, do you know that Qi Xiuwei is getting engaged!"

Shen Ningning was quite surprised: "Engagement?! With whom?"

According to the traditional custom of Cangyun Kingdom, a girl gets engaged at the age of thirteen and gets married at the age of fifteen.

But Qi Xiuwei had just celebrated her [-]th birthday, so why were the Qi family so impatient to get married.

"The eldest son of Duke Hechang, Liang Yuanzhong."

Shen Ningning's watery black eyes widened.

"Are you kidding me? Duke Chang Guo is over seventy, and his eldest son is almost forty. Doesn't he already have a wife?"

Ye Changyi stamped her feet: "That's why I'm anxious to tell you that Mr. Liang's wife just died of illness, leaving behind two children. The eldest is only three years younger than Qi Xiuwei. The Qi family made this marriage for her clear. I want to marry her to a high family."

Shen Ningning tightened her eyebrows.

It must be Mrs. Qi's idea. She has always wanted to use her daughters to get rich.

Now Concubine Qi has offended the emperor and once again entered the cold palace.

So Mrs. Qi simply no longer planned to send Qi Xiuwei to the palace, but instead focused on those princes with some real power.

It was a pity that there were too few princes of the right age, so she chose Liang Yuanzhong, whose wife had just died and was waiting for a new marriage!

Shen Ningning thought for a while and quickly said to Ye Changyi: "You can find a way to help me ask Xiaowei out."

The Qi family did not allow Qi Xiuwei to associate with her, so if she went to invite him, Qi Xiuwei would definitely not be able to come out.

Ye Changyi shook his head: "I can't see her either, and, haven't you noticed, the Qi family won't let her come to the Chinese Academy of Sciences! They just want her to live in peace and wait for marriage."

When Shen Ningning heard this, she felt it was difficult.

She thought about it, went straight to the palace, found Pei Yin, and told her about it.

Pei Yin was on patrol, but Shen Ningning said that he was looking for him in an emergency, so the two met at the lake for the time being.

He put his hand on his sword and frowned when he learned what happened.

"So, the princess hopes to use Fierce Wings to send another message to Miss Qi?"

Pei Yin hesitated a little, his brows darkened: "But I feel that if I do this again, I'm afraid it will damage Miss Qi's reputation."

Shen Ningning jumped up and down anxiously.

Pei Yin was too tall, so she could only look up and stare at him.

"I have to ask Xiaowei what she thinks. Could it be that you can just watch a girl who has not yet had haircuts marry an old man who is almost forty years old!"

Pei Yin tightened his lips.

"Okay." He asked Shen Ningning to wait for him here for a while.

After a while, Pei Yin came over with Meng Yi.

Ever since he discovered that Meng Yi was sending messages everywhere because of his greed, Pei Yin no longer allowed him to fly around and kept him in a cage every day.

This time, he also came with a cage.

When Meng Yi in the cage saw Shen Ningning, he fluttered aggrievedly, squawking and making accusing sounds.

Pei Yin couldn't understand, but Shen Ningning understood.

Meng Yi felt aggrieved and accused this bastard owner of not only not knowing how to enjoy life, but also feeding it with cornbread every day.

Finally, it stared at Pei Yin, spread its wings, and let out a sharp eagle cry.

Pei Yin frowned: "Princess, I often feel that it is scolding me. I can lend you my fierce wings, but can you please tell me what it is saying?"

He knew that Shen Ningning could communicate with Meng Yi and could understand what animals said.

The little guy glanced at Meng Yi in the cage.

He said silently: "It said that if you can't afford to raise it, let it go as soon as possible. Don't delay it from going to other people's homes to enjoy happiness."

Pei Yin pursed her thin lips and stared at Meng Yi with her dark eyes.

Mengyi retracted his wings with a "quacking" sound, and his pupils turned around with a guilty conscience.

Why did its little master betray it like that!

"This bastard bird." Pei Yin scolded helplessly, and then placed the cage on the table.

Shen Ningning took out the dried meat, opened the cage, and Meng Yi immediately jumped out to feast. Eating a bunch of them is not enough.

Pei Yin saw Shen Ningning taking out various dried meats from her sleeves.

Until Meng Yi jumped up and down eating.

The little girl smiled sweetly: "Mengyi, this time I want you to help me deliver a letter to Xiaowei, the Qi family where you often go."

Mengyi retracted his wings and raised his head.

That seems to mean that I disagree.

After being locked up for a long time, I got a little tempered.

Shen Ningning was not afraid that she would not be able to subdue it.

So he smiled and said: "If you don't agree, I can only ask my wolf to come and talk to you."

Meng Yi suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Thinking of the way the wolves usually drooled when they saw it, Meng Yi immediately picked up the letter that Shen Ningning had prepared and flapped its wings to fly towards the Qi family.

Pei Yin watched it flap its wings vigorously and fly away, and couldn't help but shake his head: "The princess still has more tricks, Mengyi has an arrogant temper and is not easy to tame."

Shen Ningning smiled and said lightly: "If you can bribe him with food, you are still a good bird."

They waited here, but after waiting for a long time, Meng Yi didn't come back.

Pei Yin had a bad feeling.

Shen Ningning also thought: "Could it be that Meng Yi was stopped?"

The two of them hit it off immediately and hurried out of the palace to Qi Mansion.

Mo Lingwei, who was discussing government affairs with several ministers in the Star-Zhaing Building, caught a glimpse of Shen Ningning from the corner of his eye and stood up immediately.

However, when he saw clearly that Pei Yin was standing next to the little girl, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"What do they two want to do?"

He hasn't asked clearly about the last correspondence between Pei Yin and Shen Ningning.

Now I saw the two of them leaving the palace together.

Mo Lingwei's dark eyes were filled with deep displeasure.

Pei Yin and Shen Ningning rushed to Qi Mansion.

However, when the concierge heard that it was Shen Ningning, he quickly said that the master was not at home and it was not convenient to entertain the princess.

The implication was that he just didn't want Shen Ningning to come in.

Pei Yin could only step forward, pursed his lips and said, "We are here to visit Miss Qi. She should be at home, right?"

The concierge kept waving his hands: "No, no."

He only opened the door a crack, and it seemed that he didn't even intend to let them in.

Just when Shen Ningning was about to use her status to oppress her, a cold and stern voice suddenly came from behind her: "If you are there, just go in and take a look."

As if falling from the sky, Mo Lingwei walked up from Shen Ningning and Pei Yin and kicked open the door of Qi Mansion.

The concierge rolled twice on the ground, making ouch sounds again and again.

After getting up, I was about to yell: "How dare you..."

However, when he saw the prince's personal guards filing in with a fierce aura as if his house was about to be ransacked, his words suddenly got stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.

Mo Lingwei held up his hands and walked into the gate of Qi Mansion with Shen Ningning and Pei Yin.

The sun shone from behind him, making his outline look cold and dark.

"Go and call the people in your house who can speak."

The concierge nodded hurriedly and ran away in a mess.

Shen Ningning couldn't help but stepped forward: "Brother, you..."

Before she could finish her words, Mo Lingwei glanced sideways and gave her a cold look: "I'm not angry."

Shen Ningning tilted her head and blinked in confusion.

Why are you so angry? This is not what she wants to ask! (End of chapter)
