Chapter 35

The next day, Emperor Shengping returned to Jian'an with Concubine Qing and Princess Changle.

Shen Ning got up in the morning and was eating, when she saw Zi Zhu coming in with her eyebrows bent, holding a beautifully carved and painted large lacquer brocade box.

Zi Su smiled and said, "For you to thank the princess and His Majesty, is this another reward?"

Zizhu smiled mysteriously, and carefully placed the brocade box on the case: "Princess, who do you think sent it?"

Shen Ning unhurriedly took a spoonful of bamboo fungus and shredded chicken porridge, and opened her lips lightly: "Did you meet Qi Weiwei outside?"

Guard Qi, he was talking about Qi Xuan, of course, Qi Xuan was Song Yan's first guard with a knife, and was also the commander of Qilin Weizheng's fourth grade. Most people would respectfully call him Master Qi when they saw him.

Zizhu opened her round eyes slightly, and said in surprise: "Princess can pinch it and forget it? How do you know that this is an apology from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

After a pause, she smiled narrowly again: "Could it be that His Highness told the princess last night?"

This is the first time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave something to his own princess in more than three years, which is very meaningful.

Zhuyu rejoiced: "Princess, quickly open it to see what a good thing it is, and let the servants hold their eyes too."

Shen Ning wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, what Song Yan could give was her red jadeite double fish adornment.

Zisu snorted: "Don't forget, for whom did our princess suffer such a big crime?"

The smiles of the three froze, and Shen Ning smiled slightly: "I'm afraid I will disappoint you."

She raised her finger and ticked lightly, and the brocade box was opened, and a round and heart-shaped piece of Kunshan nephrite was quietly placed on the black gold velvet cushion.

The extreme contrast between black and white makes the jade whiter and more moist like fat. A lifelike picture of peonies playing with butterflies is exquisitely carved and lifelike, which makes people feel happy at a glance.

Lian Qiao's eyes lit up: "Our princess loves peonies the most. Is this a coincidence, Your Highness the Crown Prince? Or is it?"

She pursed her lips and smiled cleverly: "Princess, His Royal Highness is hiding you in his heart~"

Shen Ning was startled, she thought it would be her engagement jade pendant, but it wasn't.

Song Yan refused to return the betrothal jade pendant, but sent this butterfly love flower pendant instead, what is the meaning?
Zizhu: "Princess, princess, do you want my servant to help you carry it?"

Shen Ning came back to her senses: "It's His Royal Highness sending you off, so you should treasure it well."

Zizhu pouted her lips, isn't the treasure the bottom of the box?

She still wanted to struggle, but was yanked by Zisu: "Hasn't our princess ever given His Royal Highness something good? The princess has always prepared the birthday gift of His Royal Highness with extra care? You can see what His Highness said?" Is it? Now the princess is just like this, you can't hold back like this."

After teaching Zi Zhu, Zi Su spoke earnestly to Shen Ning again: "Princess, you can't be soft-hearted. If it wasn't for the carelessness of the Su family, why did you suffer such a big crime, and almost lost your life? She is really a worthwhile person." With such ability, His Highness the Crown Prince can actually make His Royal Highness leave official duties and accompany her to recuperate in another palace. When His Highness the Crown Prince came over last night, why didn’t he ask about your injury? If His Majesty hadn’t opened the golden mouth, your serious injury would have been so serious. Today we have to bump all the way back to Jian'an."

Zisu is very angry!
"Huh? Princess, there is a mezzanine under here." Lian Qiao blinked, and took out a small and exquisite gourd porcelain bottle from the brocade box.

A faint and elegant lotus fragrance oozes out slightly.

Forsythia sniffed it closer, and her eyes lit up instantly: "Princess, it seems to be Snow Lotus Revitalizing Lotion."

Snow lotus is extremely rare, it blooms once every ten years, and then withers after one night, and it can only bloom in the ice lake on the top of the Tianshan Mountains in the north.

Shen Ning was slightly surprised, she gently unscrewed the small bead on the top of the bottle, and slowly dripped it on her fingertips. The dew was like ice crystals, revealing a faint light green color, which was instantly absorbed by the skin, leaving only a stream of cool lotus The fragrance lingers in the fingertips.

Zi Su hesitated: "Princess, is this really Saussurea radiata?"

The corners of Shen Ning's lips raised a slight arc unconsciously, and her heart was slightly warm: "Yes."

Zisu snorted, "His Royal Highness still has a conscience."

A few people were talking, when a little servant girl hurriedly knocked on the palace door: "This servant girl is a little flower on duty in another palace, and I have something important to report to Your Highness the Princess."

Zisu frowned subconsciously, thinking, "Could it be that something has happened to the Su family?" '

She said aggressively, "Princess, servants go and have a look."

If it was that person who caused some trouble again, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would punish her, and she would show that person some seriousness.

Shen Ning vaguely heard the little maid say aggrievedly: "Outside there is a person who claims to be the second lady of the Meng family who insists on seeing Her Royal Highness. The servant girl said that the princess will not see any guests today, so she will forcefully break in and fight with the guards outside the palace." .”

Her face darkened, and she raised her voice, "Zisu, please invite Second Miss Meng to sit among the flowers."

Zi Su rushed back and said disapprovingly, "Princess, your injury is serious, what if the wound opens again?"

Zizhu echoed: "That's right, princess, you should think about yourself more, can't you?"

Surrounded by four people on the couch, Shen Ning sighed helplessly: "Second Miss Meng, please sit down behind the fan screen."

Only then did Zi Su reluctantly go to welcome him.

Not long after, Meng Li'er was ushered into the room. Her eyes were slightly red, and she changed from her domineering posture in the past. As soon as she stood still, she knelt down and gave Shen Ning a solemn kowtow: "Your servant is taking the liberty to disturb the princess. All I wish is that my mother and elder sister are afraid of their lives, so I beg the princess to help me."

Shen Ning's heart sank, and she motioned for Zisu to help her up.

She expected that the Meng family would be uneasy, but she didn't expect that Governor Meng would be so ruthless. It's just that this is the Meng family's business, and it's inappropriate for her to intervene rashly.

"Miss Meng's words confuse this princess. Mrs. Meng was fine a few days ago? Your eldest sister also reconciled with King Kangjun as she wished. Although life may be more difficult in the future, her life is at stake. By the way, where did it come from?"

Meng Li'er knelt straight and refused to get up: "Princess Ning is smart, and my courtiers dare not lie. My mother angered my grandfather because of the eldest sister, and my father sent my mother to the family temple to be punished. Refusing to leave a way for my mother and elder sister to survive, the courtier's daughter was originally restrained, but the courtier kept an eye on it, so she was able to inquire about the news from a tea servant in the grandfather's yard, that the grandfather actually wanted to let My mother and elder sister died of illness."

Shen Ning hesitated for a moment: "Second Miss Meng, I understand your feelings, but this is a matter of your Meng family, you should not come to me, but go and think about countermeasures with your father."

Meng Lier smiled wryly: "Father was reprimanded severely by grandfather the day before yesterday, and now he is still punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. Besides, father is weak and dare not disobey grandfather at all. My daughter knows that the princess's heart is like a mirror. As long as the princess is willing to help, the minister will The girl is willing to be the blade in the princess's hand, and cut through the thorns and thorns for the princess."
