Remarry 9,000 Years Old
Chapter 61: We agreed not to bring up the past
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Ning Su, but even Emperor Ming himself was stunned.
Ning Su's fingers holding the wine glass paused slightly, and the expression on his face was indescribable.
Emperor Ming felt that he was half sober. He now blamed the fruit wine very much. Why couldn't it be mellower? It made it difficult for him to pretend to be drunk.
Shen Nanqiao continued talking as if nothing had happened.
"The Ninth Prince's princess? I heard she's a beauty." He looked at Ning Su and sighed, "It's a pity that I was born too young to meet her."
Emperor Ming really wanted to fall asleep on the spot. He stammered and avoided the question.
"I can't remember clearly. It's been a long time. Maybe it doesn't look that good anymore."
Shen Nanqiao nodded.
"I heard from my father that the Ninth Prince is a man with high standards, but it seems that's not entirely true. Otherwise, why would he marry an ugly princess?"
Emperor Ming had been in high office for a long time, and he rarely encountered such embarrassing moments.
Judging from Shen Nanqiao's expression, Ning Su probably never mentioned it to her. It must be very difficult to keep a secret in front of his wife.
I always feel guilty when I think about how I was exposed so carelessly.
To put it another way, if Shen Nanqiao was a little confused, he would have gotten away with it.
Unfortunately, this girl is so clever that not a single mistake can be made. It's really annoying.
Emperor Ming glanced at the table full of unfinished food, then touched his stomach which was not yet full. After weighing the two options, he had to speak with reluctance.
"I have been out for quite some time, and I must return before the palace gates are closed. I had a great time today, and I will invite you and your wife to a palace banquet another day."
After saying this, he stood up as if escaping, turned back and gave Ning Su a look that told him to wish him well.
"You don't have to go this far. The factory guards will escort you. You and your wife can stay and see the guests off."
Emperor Ming left without a word, and the couple saw him off to the door.
Ning Su glanced at her secretly, and she looked calm.
The sound of ladies' jokes came from the main room not far away, and Ning Su cleared his throat.
"Don't you need to go and support me?"
Shen Nanqiao turned his head slowly.
"No hurry. The host doesn't have to accompany the guests at the backyard banquet all the time. Besides, I have arranged for Aunt Liu and Linglong to take care of them. There will also be juggling and card games, so the atmosphere won't be boring."
Ning Su was speechless and secretly regretted why he didn't find an excuse to escort the emperor back to the palace.
Shen Nanqiao seemed not to notice the expression on his face and sighed with pretended regret.
"You can say that I was born at the wrong time. I had no chance to see the beauty who was famous in the capital at that time."
Ning Su tensed his back and waited for her next words.
But she tilted her head to look at him, with a malicious look in her eyes.
"Since you have seen it, describe it to someone. What does it look like? How good-looking is it?"
Ning Su suddenly felt overwhelmed. He had never thought this girl was so difficult to deal with before.
But looking at her determined attitude to get to the bottom of the matter, I knew that if I couldn't give a clear answer today, I would be in trouble.
"It's been so long that I can't remember it clearly, but it's nothing more than two eyes and a mouth."
Shen Nanqiao stared at him with a smile but didn't say anything.
Ning Su was unsure.
"Let's go in and talk. It's freezing outside."
Shen Nanqiao didn't move.
"Is it cold? I feel colder inside than the weather."
At this moment, Ning Su truly realized that it was understandable that his colleagues in the court were henpecked.
If it were someone else, he would have thrown the person out long ago.
But with this little girl standing right in front of me, I can't hit her or scold her, and there's really nothing I can do except give in.
Ning Su suddenly smiled.
This smile made Shen Nanqiao feel a little uneasy, but she remained calm and composed without showing any signs of it.
"I am just young and curious. It is a pity that I have never had the chance to see the beauty who was once famous in the capital."
I never realized before that Fentuanzi had such a sharp tongue.
"When the prince returns to Beijing someday, you will be able to see it."
Seeing this obvious Tai Chi practice, Shen Nanqiao was a little anxious.
"The vassal king is not allowed to leave the station without permission, and I am not stupid."
"Royal weddings and funerals are common, there will always be opportunities."
It would be easy for a seasoned factory official to tease such a little girl.
Shen Nanqiao began to lose his temper.
"I want to hear you say it."
"I just said it, two eyes and one mouth, someone else's wife, I said it's too delicate, isn't it inappropriate?"
Shen Nanqiao was furious.
If this person doesn't want to speak, he can really keep everything secret.
When you don't know who the other person is, you can be indifferent. However, once that person starts to take shape, you will be anxious to know more details.
The Ninth Princess was famous. When she was still a little girl, people had heard that she was extremely beautiful and had every advantage.
It's funny that even her title of the most beautiful lady in the circle of noble ladies was received from someone else.
The subtle thought in my mind became stronger and stronger.
The title belongs to someone else, and even her husband almost belonged to her.
Sometimes people's discouragement only lasts for a moment, and Shen Nanqiao suddenly lost interest in asking further questions.
Without warning, she turned and walked towards the main hall where the ladies were gathered.
Ning Su was a little at a loss now. Why did he suddenly turn against her?
We were used to her chattering, so her silence made me feel uneasy.
Ning Changchen had experienced all kinds of storms, but this time he was in a dilemma.
"What are you going to do?" The words sounded increasingly dry as they came out of his mouth.
"To accompany the guests."
Shen Nanqiao said this calmly without looking back.
The lanterns throughout the mansion emitted a soft, warm color that enveloped her, making her look peaceful and beautiful.
Ning Su stood there in a daze, not knowing how to respond.
He suddenly felt a little regretful. Why did he have to tease her?
The little girl also has a temper. Now she has made people angry. This situation will not end well.
On the other side, Shen Nanqiao calmed down, put on a smiling face, and then walked into the main hall.
The ladies were eating enthusiastically, and when they saw her come in, they immediately became attentive.
"Thanks to Madam, we sisters are lucky enough to taste this delicacy. This pot is so delicious."
Shen Nanqiao maintained a perfect smile.
"If you like, I'll have the material package delivered to your house tomorrow."
"That's embarrassing." The Grand Tutor's wife shook her head and smiled.
Shen Nanqiao walked over in two or three steps and sat down in the empty seat between her and the old lady.
"Why should I be embarrassed about this? I can even prepare one less New Year gift. In the end, I still make a profit."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and almost immediately developed a deeper liking for Shen Nanqiao.
He is not shy or pretentious, and he gives people the opportunity to step aside at just the right moment, which makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze.
Mrs. Zhou sighed in her heart, thinking that he was so versatile at such a young age, which was definitely not comparable to her silly girl.
Fortunately she didn’t come today, otherwise I would have felt awkward for a while when I got home.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Shen Nanqiao holding a glass of wine and handing it to me.
"Last time, Madam, you invited me, but I declined because I was busy. Today, I want to apologize to you." He drank the whole glass in one gulp, "Madam, please feel free to do as you please."
The wife of the Grand Tutor standing by was almost immediately impressed by her quick-witted personality.
"Mrs. Changchen is really straightforward."
Madam Zhou nodded in agreement.
"She is also very beautiful. People say that she is the most beautiful lady among the noble ladies. Governor Ning is really lucky."
Shen Nanqiao's heart moved, and he unintentionally continued the conversation.
"I heard that the Ninth Princess was a stunning beauty in the past, but it's a pity that I was too young to see her in the boudoir."
The wife of the Grand Tutor used to be carefree.
"You mean Yonghe? She is indeed first-rate in appearance." Halfway through the sentence, he suddenly realized something and turned around to look Shen Nanqiao up and down, "Now that you mention it, you do look a bit like her."
