Remarry 9,000 Years Old

After hearing what she said, Princess Ninth calmed down. She slowly walked to the front of the desk and looked down at Shen Nanqiao.

"Since Madam Pingyang already knows why I'm here, you can probably guess who ordered me to come here, right?" She tapped her slender fingers lightly on the table, "Let's just be frank and ask Madam Shen to come out."

Shen Nanqiao glanced at her lazily, kicked off his shoes, and leaned cross-legged on the pillow casually.

"How old are you, Princess?"

The Ninth Princess was stunned by the question, and then a surge of anger rose up, blocking her chest and unable to go away.

"Madam Pingyang, this move of avoiding the subject is a bit impolite, isn't it?"

She was the same age as Ning Su, and was even a few months older than him when she was born. Although she had tried her best to maintain her appearance, the harsh sandstorms in the border town still left traces of time on her face if one looked closely.

This is where she was not tough enough when facing Shen Nanqiao.

Even if she was unwilling to admit it, the girl sitting across the table was young and fresh, and she was beyond her reach.

"I don't mean anything else. The princess is too sensitive." Shen Nanqiao took a sip of the bird's nest soup that Aunt Liu brought. "I just think that although the princess is not young, isn't it a few years too early for her to meet my mother?"

The Ninth Princess didn't react for a moment, and then she heard her continue.

"Of course, if you really want to go, it's not impossible. As long as you set off immediately to accompany the Ninth Prince to guard the border, there will be a day."

The Ninth Princess, who only then realized the hidden meaning, flew into a rage. This damn girl actually cursed her to death!

However, she had been in this situation for many years and knew that whoever lost his composure first would lose in this tug-of-war. So she forced herself to suppress her anger and even forced a smile.

"Madam Ning, you are joking. Your mother is obviously still alive."

Shen Nanqiao put down the teacup and said seriously.

"You can eat whatever you want, and you can lie about your age, but you can't say this. When my mother died, she clearly cancelled her household registration, and the court can check it." She sneered, "Are you questioning whether there is a problem with the department under the emperor's rule?"

No one could bear such a huge accusation. The Ninth Princess tried hard to maintain her composure, even though she was on the verge of collapse.

"Madam Pingyang, please stop beating around the bush. The news that Madam Shen has come back to life has already reached the palace. I advise you to be more sensible and call her out yourself. We have known each other for a long time, so it's better not to tear our relationship apart, right?"

Shen Nanqiao blinked.

"It got to the palace? Then the emperor should have sent someone to blame, why would it be the Ninth Princess? Did you become a eunuch?" Before the Ninth Princess could refute, she continued, "As for acquaintance? Sorry, at your age, I'm afraid we can't be close friends. If you want to break up, just come on."

Even if the Ninth Princess was made of clay, she still had some earthy qualities, not to mention that she had long disliked Shen Nanqiao.

At this moment she stood up suddenly and sneered.

"Madam Pingyang, are you going to keep going until you hit the wall? Then I will ask for the imperial decree, and then I will come to experience Madam Pingyang's sharp tongue again."

With that he turned away.

When Aunt Liu saw the man leave angrily, she lowered her voice and asked.

"The Ninth Princess is not someone who will suffer a loss. What are our plans for the next step?"

Shen Nanqiao smiled confidently.

"Go and invite the empress, the wife of the Grand Tutor, and the wives of several important officials, and tell them that I'm inviting everyone to play cards and eat hotpot."

Nanny Liu frowned slightly.

"Madam, are you trying to make a big deal out of this?"

Word has always spread fastest in the harem. If these important officials are all there, the news will probably spread throughout the capital within half a day.

"They are all preparing to ask for the imperial decree. If I don't prepare a bigger stage, how can she handle it?"

Nanny Liu went to invite people as instructed, and Shen Nanqiao told Linglong to prepare.

According to common sense, there is no reason to post the invitation on the same day of the invitation, and her action also showed a bit of impoliteness.

You know who can come and who cannot come.

Fortunately, everything was ready during the first month of the year. Shen Nanqiao was afraid that Linglong could not command so many people alone, so he simply asked Liuyun to go and supervise.

Strangely enough, Liuyun's cold face, which looked very similar to Ning Su's, would immediately become lively as soon as he saw Linglong.

Linglong remembered the grudge of being picked up when they first met, and immediately complained in a sarcastic tone.

"Whatever help he can provide, it's good enough if he doesn't cause more trouble."

Liuyun didn't say anything, just snorted coldly, but that snort was full of sarcasm, which made Linglong even more angry.

"You are not a New Year picture on the door, why are you just humming?"

"I can't laugh at you."

Shen Nanqiao couldn't help laughing at the bickering between the two people. In his heart, he secretly apologized to the two generals at the door, hoping that the gods would not bear grudges and would not bother with two ignorant children.

Nanny Liu was really efficient. She personally came and invited the ladies of four or five families within an hour.

*** arrived late, and it was obvious that she was caught at the last minute. She was also wearing a casual jacket and skirt. She chatted with Shen Nanqiao about family matters with a smile, and then sent someone to set up the card table.

"I've been very lucky these past two days, I'm going to beat you hard."

Shen Nanqiao agreed with a smile, and told Linglong to take the daughter of the Grand Tutor's wife to play on the swings.

The swing was set between two particularly sturdy white plum trees, and you could smell a faint fragrance every time it swung.

Miss Wang didn't dare to go up at first. Linglong went up and demonstrated to her twice, but Miss Wang still didn't dare, so she simply pulled Linglong along.

The two little girls swung higher and higher, and their laughter drifted far away with the fragrance of plum blossoms. The Grand Tutor's wife looked at them and her brows relaxed.

"You don't know this girl in my family. She stays at home all day and rarely goes out to play with her sisters. I am so worried! I can't believe she is so comfortable in your house."

Shen Nanqiao had brought some people here to make things more lively today, so naturally he wanted both the host and the guests to have a good time, so he smiled when he heard that.

"What's the big deal? You can ask her to come over anytime. I lost my father when I was young, and I don't have any close sisters. When she comes, I will teach her how to make rouge and powder and how to tailor. If that doesn't work, I can also teach her some tips on being a grandmother."

This was the experience of teaching Shen Nanqiao how to manage household chores. The Grand Tutor's wife was very happy and fed Shen Nanqiao several cards in a row.

After a few rounds, a servant came in to report that the Ninth Princess had come again.

*** frowned.

"What is she doing here?"

Shen Nanqiao pretended to be aggrieved.

"The princess believed that I was hiding someone here, so she came here to cause trouble just now. Now she has come back again, obviously to cause trouble."

"Then I won't see you." *** touched a card and said casually, "Let her go back."

Upon seeing this, Aunt Liu immediately took advantage of the situation and spoke in a low voice.

"The princess brought the Queen Mother's decree to search Songchangxuan."

As soon as these words were spoken, the ladies who were originally chatting and laughing immediately stopped talking.

"Search?" ***'s eyes flickered. "I am still here, and she dares to bring people to search. It's obvious that she doesn't take me seriously!"

Before he finished speaking, the Ninth Princess rushed in with a group of guards.

When he saw the *** and the other prominent ladies, he was stunned.

"It's the New Year and you're not resting. Wouldn't it be nice to spend a few days in the capital quietly enjoying yourself? I'm afraid you'll have to go back to your fiefdom after the New Year. Why waste your time on other things?"

The Ninth Princess's expression changed slightly, and she saluted the emperor.

"I have come here to search under the order of the Queen Mother. Please forgive me if I have disturbed you."

*** stopped the card in his hand that was about to be played and said with a smile.

"Search? I'm curious, what exactly do you want to search for?"

The people around also showed some curiosity. After all, Shen Nanqiao was also a lady of the first rank and had Ning Su's support. What excuse could the Ninth Princess make up to justify the search?

She smiled faintly and her eyes fell on Shen Nanqiao who was looking at the cards.

"Speaking of which, we should congratulate Madam Pingyang. The people we are searching for are her close relatives."

Shen Nanqiao pretended not to hear and played a Fortune card, which was immediately touched by ***.

"You mean, Madam Pingyang's close relatives are the criminals?" *** took the fortune note to her doorstep, "Otherwise, how could the Queen Mother personally issue an imperial decree to search for them?"

The Ninth Princess was waiting for this.

"The prisoner dare not speak, after all, he has not been convicted, but he cannot escape the charge of deceiving the emperor. After all, he came back from the dead but did not report the knowledge, which is a serious crime." After saying this, he shouted, "Search the backyard for me, and make sure to get the wife of the Minister of Rites out for me."

Just as the guard was about to take action, Shen Nanqiao suddenly spoke.

"Wait." She stroked the cards in her hand slowly, pausing for each word. "If you find the person, you can do whatever you want. If you can't find him, what should you do?"

The Ninth Princess had been sending people to keep watch near Songchangxuan, and what she heard was exactly what she wanted.

"If you can't find it, I will apologize to you today!"

"Okay!" Shen Nanqiao locked eyes with her, "You must kowtow and admit your mistake."
