The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

"Where is the second young lady?"

Outside the house, I heard the anxious and happy voice of Nanny Yu, who was beside my mother, and she hurried into the house.

Seeing Su Jingning in a simple blue shirt and looking lazy, Nanny Su frowned. If the lady saw the young lady being so lazy, she would scold the young lady again.

Su Jingning saw Nanny Yu coming hurriedly, and wondered, "Why is Nanny here? Is it my mother looking for me?"

Su Jingning stood up and asked.

"Miss, please change your clothes quickly. Someone from the palace has come and is waiting in the front hall to announce the decree. People from Beiyang Palace have also come and are waiting for you." Nanny Yu was impatient and pushed Su Jingning into the inner room to change clothes.

Su Jingning was confused by what she said.

She looked at Yun Ya behind her and asked, "Announcement? What's the matter?"

Yun Ya looked at Su Jingning, who was completely confused, with a smile on her face. She found a light blue skirt with silver embroidery for Su Jingning and said:

"Today is a rare auspicious day. Someone from the Beiyang Palace came to exchange the engagement letter between the young lady and Master Gu. After exchanging the engagement letter, receiving the engagement letter and the betrothal gift, the engagement between the young lady and Master Gu was finalized."

"But who would have thought that just after the people from Beiyang Palace arrived, an imperial edict also came from the palace, and brought many gifts. It should be an imperial edict for marriage."

Su Jingning was a little confused: "Why is it so sudden?"

"I heard that there have been carriages going in and out of Prince Beiyang's palace every day these days, and many things have been sent to the palace from the Northern Frontier and other places. Prince Gu is also watching it personally. The people are speculating that Prince Beiyang is going to return to Beijing to live permanently. Miss, do you know what that is?" Yun Ya said with a smile.

Su Jingning frowned in confusion.

"Those are all the betrothal gifts that Prince Gu sent to Miss. They fill up the entire street, and they haven't even entered the mansion yet."

Su Jingning suddenly realized and remembered that he had told her that he was busy a few days ago. It turned out that he was busy preparing a betrothal gift for her?

lobby.

The personal guards of the Beiyang Palace were carrying in box after box of red-sealed gift boxes continuously. The personal guards were walking in a hurry and it seemed that they would not be able to finish moving all the boxes in a short while.

The Duke of Zhenguo was talking to the King of Beiyang, while his wife stood beside him, gazing at the noble young man standing quietly beside them, her satisfaction in her eyes almost unconcealable.

This child is so handsome! He also has deep feelings for Ningning. When she handed him Ningning's birthday card, he was so careful and solemn, as if he had obtained a priceless treasure. His eyes were red when he looked at the birthday card. It can be seen that he is as affectionate as his father.

Sheng Fu smiled stiffly, complaining silently in his heart. The only people in the world who could ignore His Majesty's will were the father and son of the King of Beiyang. The look in the eyes of the Gu Shizi was really scary, as if he could drive him out in the next moment. Sheng Fu felt that he came at the wrong time.

Has Second Miss Su arrived? He needs to report back to the palace as soon as possible.

"Second Miss." A voice finally came from outside the house.

Hearing the voice, the smile on Sheng Fu's face became much more sincere.

Gu Yan'an turned his head and looked outside the door.

Su Jingning was wearing a light blue dress embroidered with silver. The hem of the skirt was embroidered with large peonies in silver thread, reflecting beautiful silver light under the light. Her slender figure was upright and dignified, like a blooming magnolia, bright and noble.

Su Jingning walked forward slowly and saluted everyone.

Then he respectfully performed the salute of a junior to King Beiyang.

"Jingning has met the prince."

King Beiyang had a smile on his face and tried hard to look kinder, even his voice was softer.

"Good boy, no need to be polite, get up quickly."

I heard that the child has been in poor health since childhood and was protected as a treasure in the hands of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. When I saw him today, he did look a little fragile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Sheng Fu coughed lightly, then smiled and said to Prince Beiyang and Duke Zhenguo:

"My Lord, since the Second Miss is here, I will announce the decree."

"Please come in, Chief Steward Sheng." The Duke of Zhenguo stepped aside and let Sheng Fu take the main seat.

Sheng Fu nodded with a smile, walked to the crowd and slowly spread out the imperial edict.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, summons you. The three colors are shining, and the auspicious clouds are gathering. The prince of Beiyang, the general Gu Yan'an, is a descendant of a noble official. He is well-versed in both civil and military affairs, and has outstanding talents. I would like to ask you, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, Su Jingning, to be gentle and kind, gentle and intelligent, with a peaceful and upright beauty, and a quiet and upright manner. She is elegant and well-mannered, and well-educated. The two of you are a perfect match made in heaven. I now decree to grant you a marriage and choose a date for the ceremony. I hope that you two will be of one mind and one heart, serve the country with all your heart, and don't let me down."

"I also grant the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo a pair of blue jade night-shining pearls, a Qiu Yixiang spring screen fan, a pair of South China Sea red coral ornaments, one hundred sets of gold and pearl jewelry, eighty jade ornaments, and two hundred rolls of various colored silks... A courtyard of Fenghuan Pavilion in the Western Suburbs Manor, I hereby decree."

Su Jingning leaned forward to thank the emperor for his kindness and hide his slightly furrowed brows.

It would be fine if His Majesty rewarded her with gold, silver and jewelry, but the Fenghuan Pavilion in the Western Suburbs was not a reward that a girl like her should receive. It should be given to A Yan.

Even the Duke of Zhenguo felt that the gift was too heavy.

"Manager Sheng, Fenghuan Pavilion in the western suburbs? Your Majesty, this is?" the Duke of Zhenguo asked.

Sheng Fule laughed and said, "His Majesty said that if you ask, just tell him that this is a gift from His Majesty to the Second Miss, and he told the Second Miss to accept it and not to think too much about it."

That is Fenghuan Pavilion, the best royal manor in the western suburbs. Prince Chen asked for it from Your Majesty a few years ago, but Your Majesty was reluctant to give it. Now he gives it to Ningning.

Although the Duke of Zhenguo was surprised, he had no choice but to nod and thank him.

After presenting the gift, Sheng Fu left the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion without staying for even a second.

Prince Beiyang discussed matters to be resolved after the engagement with the Duke and his wife.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo couldn't help but find it funny to see the two sitting on either side without saying a word. Why are these two children so reserved now?

"Ningning, your grandmother asked about Yan'an a few days ago. Yan'an happened to be here today, why don't you take Yan'an to meet your grandmother."

Su Jingning was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Yan'an who was also looking at him, and nodded in agreement.

"okay."

Then he stood up, glanced at Gu Yan'an and said softly, "Grandmother is in Songhua Courtyard, come with me."

Gu Yan'an stood up and followed Su Jingning out of the front hall.

Seeing that he was always half a step behind him, Su Jingning suddenly took a step back, stopped beside him, and moved closer to him. She looked up at him, her round almond eyes filled with a bright smile.

"So, you have been so busy these days that you are preparing the betrothal gifts?"

Gu Yan'an lowered his eyes and looked at the smiling girl. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, his voice was not soft, and he nodded seriously.

"Ah."

"So anxious?" Seeing how serious he was, Su Jingning couldn't help but raise his eyebrows to tease him.

"Yeah, very anxious." His dark eyes looked at her closely, gentle, deep, and sincere. He answered very seriously, and she couldn't stand it anymore. She lowered her head and turned away, wanting to escape from here quickly.

"Let's go quickly. If it's any later, grandma will have to take a nap."

Gu Yan'an lowered his eyes and watched her movements, his eyes full of doting. He chuckled softly, followed her in a few steps, and walked to her side.
