Chapter 37 The General Loves the Country Girl (7)
Ning Shu had no choice but to live in the Princess's Mansion. If she continued to bargain with Li Wen and pissed him off, she would have no place to cry. At least she would be out of the palace and would not have to get involved in the gossip in the harem.
"Thank you, my dear brother, for your grace." Ning Shu bowed to Li Wen and prepared to leave. She would not have to have any contact with Li Wen if she could.
"Wait a minute." Li Wen called Ning Shu. Ning Shu turned around and looked at Li Wen. Li Wen said indifferently, "Come here and grind the ink."
Ning Shu said, "Oh," and walked over, lifted up her long sleeves, added some water to the inkstone, picked up the cinnabar inkstone and began to grind it. Ning Shu was thinking that she had never ground ink before. This was a skill from the original owner's memory.
Fortunately, although her movements were unfamiliar, she gradually became proficient. Li Wen glanced at her. Seeing Li Wen looking at her, Ning Shu immediately smiled at him with her white teeth.
Li Wen looked away and fixed his eyes on the memorial in front of him. He picked up the cinnabar pen and circled it. Ning Shu didn't dare to look around and lowered her head to look at the inkstone.
The study was quiet, with only the subtle friction sound of grinding ink. Ning Shu felt miserable. She wanted to leave. Staying by Li Wen's side, the hairs on her body stood up and she got goose bumps.
She didn't have such a feeling when facing Ling Xue in the previous world. Facing Li Wen, she simply couldn't figure it out. She couldn't touch Li Wen's heart. She couldn't even tell what his mood was now, whether he was happy or unhappy, angry or happy.
Even the original owner didn't see her biological brother clearly.
In Ning Shu's view, Li Wen was a person who had lost the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness that humans should have. He was too deep
. "Why do you suddenly want to leave the palace?" Li Wen suddenly said.
Ning Shu was thinking about something, and was startled by Li Wen's sudden voice. She paused suddenly, and some of the cinnabar in the inkstone splashed out, some splashed on Li Wen's body, and some splashed on the memorial in front of Li Wen.
Ning Shu's face changed, and the villain in her heart held her head and screamed, "Oh my god, I'm going to die.
" Ning Shu quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped the small red dots on the memorial with a flattering face, and then wiped the cinnabar on Li Wen's clothes.
Li Wen blocked Ning Shu's action with his hand, put down the cinnabar pen, and his expression was indifferent. Ning Shu's heart beat twice quickly, walked around the desk, and saluted Li Wen: "I didn't mean it, I hope my brother will forgive me."
Li Wen frowned and said coldly: "What are you thinking about, so absent-minded."
"Thinking about Duan Xinghui." Ning Shu pulled Duan Xinghui out without thinking, and Li Wen still had no expression on his face.
Ning Shu seriously suspected that this guy was simply a facial paralysis, and all the facial nerves were necrotic.
"I want to ask you, why do you suddenly want to leave the palace, but is there anyone in the palace causing trouble for you?" Li Wen did not pick up Ning Shu's topic, but asked the same question as before.
"Your sister wants to change the environment." Ning Shu said honestly.
Li Wen did not say anything, waved to Ning Shu, and asked her to leave. Ning Shu left as if she had been pardoned. She left the imperial study and breathed a sigh of relief when she stepped out of the threshold. In any case, her goal had been achieved.
Li Wei looked at Ning Shu's flustered back and narrowed his eyes, with a deep and turbulent look in his pupils.
Ning Shu's body was covered in cold sweat. After returning to the Lanyuan Palace, he took a bath first, and then asked Miao Qing, "How are your things packed?"
Miao Qing quickly bowed and said, "Princess, they are all packed."
Miao Qing bravely asked, "Where is the princess going?" Shen Qingqing glanced at Miao Qing and said, "I'm going to leave the palace and live in the princess's mansion."
Then Ning Shu successfully saw Miao Qing's face change. Miao Qing's face turned pale at first, and then she asked Ning Shu anxiously, "Why did the princess suddenly want to live outside the palace? The princess is a noble princess of the Great Yong Dynasty. She should live in the richest place in the world to be worthy of the status of a princess."
Tsk, noble or not, it's all up to Li Wen's words. Ning Shu saw Miao Qing's face sweating anxiously, her face flushed, and her whole person was extremely bright.
How could Miao Qing not be anxious? She could only see the emperor in the palace. If she left the palace, could she still see the emperor? Miao Qing was very anxious in her heart, but she didn't know how to persuade the princess, so she could only look at the princess.
Ning Shu ignored Miao Qing's eyes and prepared to check the packing situation. Looking at the boxes of things in the warehouse, more than ten boxes, all of which were some rare things.
This princess is really rich.
Miao Qing followed Ning Shu and couldn't bear to leave the palace. She asked, "Princess, how long are you going to live outside the palace?"
Ning Shu looked at Miao Qing and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it will be for a lifetime."
Miao Qing shook her body and looked bitter when she heard it, "Princess, how comfortable it is to live in the palace."
Ning Shu ignored her and looked at the things in the boxes attentively. There were all kinds of books in several boxes.
At dinner, the queen came to the Lanyuan Palace with a large group of people and a huge ceremonial team. Even Li Wen didn't have such a big team.
Seeing Ning Shu, the queen looked reluctant. She took Ning Shu's hand and said with concern and displeasure, "Jiahui, why do you want to live outside the palace? Is it because your sister-in-law didn't take good care of you? You are the emperor's sister, Princess Jiahui of the Great Yong Dynasty. How can you not live in the palace? Don't move out. Your sister-in-law can't bear to leave you."
Ning Shu looked at the reluctance on the queen's face and knew that the queen really couldn't bear to leave her as a vanguard.
Ning Shu perfunctorily said to the Queen, "Sister-in-law, I feel really bad. I want to change the environment. Jiahui will come to the palace to see you often."
Seeing that Jiahui was determined to leave, the Queen's smile faded, and there was a look of sorrow between her eyebrows. It was obvious that she was thinking about the change in the situation of the palace after the departure of her sister-in-law.
"You, child, go back to the palace when you feel better. You are a girl, how can you not go home?" The Queen perfunctorily said a few words and left.
After the Queen left, the concubines in the harem came to Ning Shu in a swarm, all asking if Ning Shu really wanted to move out of the palace.
Most of the concubines were in a good mood about the princess leaving the palace. After all, one less person distracted the emperor's attention, and maybe the emperor would turn his attention to them.
The concubines expressed their blessings to Ning Shu and gave her some things. Ning Shu put the things away without hesitation. Faced with the hypocritical care and retention of these concubines, Ning Shu directly said that she was tired and sent her away.
Yuan Dong and Miao Qing's reactions were completely different. Miao Qing didn't want to leave the palace at all, but as the princess's personal maid, she had to stay by her side. Miao Qing
was so anxious that blisters appeared on her mouth. Yuan Dong didn't care. Ning Shu saw it but didn't say anything. She would let Miao Qing stay in the palace as she wished.
