Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Chapter 66 I have someone in my heart, and it's not her

Because of this, Shen Nanqiao lingered in the bedroom for half an hour before he went to the study.

Coincidentally, Liuyun entered the house at the same time as her. He looked hurried and it was obvious that he had something urgent to tell her.

Ning Su glanced at the two of them, then turned and said to Liuyun.

"Wait outside. I'll call you later."

Liuyun wanted to say something but hesitated, but ultimately did not dare to refute. He bowed to Shen Nanqiao and was about to walk out.

Shen Nanqiao was still feeling embarrassed, and upon seeing this, he quickly spoke.

"I don't have anything important to say. Liuyun came to the palace. It might be the emperor who wants to see you. Let him talk first."

Ning Su nodded to Liuyun, who looked at his young wife gratefully and reported everything to him.

"The border is not peaceful. The Tatars took advantage of the New Year and gathered 50,000 elite soldiers to rob one of our towns."

Is this the rhythm of a fight?

Shen Nanqiao also listened to it. In her previous life, she lived in seclusion in the boudoir and didn't care about the outside world.

But I vaguely remember that there was indeed such a battle. It was not fought smoothly, but we won in the end.

Ning Su raised his eyebrows.

"The three towns are all the Ninth Prince's territory, why didn't he react?"

Liuyun nodded in agreement.

"The Tatars attacked at night. The Ninth Prince has organized his soldiers to fight back and has quickly written to the court, saying that they will definitely wipe out the enemy before New Year's Eve. Please don't worry, Your Majesty."

Shen Nanqiao was not familiar with military affairs, but from what he heard, the Ninth Prince did not seem like a down-to-earth person, so he wrote a letter to express his loyalty in advance when encountering such a situation.

But on second thought, this might be the helplessness of being born in an imperial family.

At this moment, she could not help but be curious. Why did the Ninth Princess marry her and leave her hometown and live far away from the capital?

If she remembered correctly, the Ninth Princess was the eldest daughter of another cabinet elder, and she was brought up in a noble family. She herself was well-known, so it should be easy for her to marry in the capital.

Could it be that you want to stay away from the sad place?

She subconsciously looked up at Ning Su, and heard Liuyun speak again.

"As a reward, the Emperor allowed the prince's family to enter the palace to celebrate New Year's Eve together."

Ning Su paused almost imperceptibly, and Shen Nanqiao also frowned.

This is both a reward and a measure.

The princes were not allowed to return to the capital without permission. This showed the emperor's sympathy for his subjects, and also allowed the Ninth Prince, who was fighting on the front line, to put his worries aside.

On the other hand, family members are also like hostages to some extent.

It would be fine if we fought well, but if we didn't...

Thinking of this, Shen Nanqiao raised his eyes and looked at Ning Su, only to see that Ning Su's face was calm, as if the one who was going back to Beijing immediately was not his former white moonlight.

Liuyun had been following Ning Su for many years and had long been accustomed to his master's indifference, so he just continued to report in an obedient manner.

"The emperor has sent word that if the Ninth Prince's family arrives in the next few days, you will have to go out of the city in person to welcome them."

He nodded upon hearing that.

"You go down first, and I will enter the palace soon."

Ning Su sent the man away, stood up, straightened his clothes, and looked at Shen Nanqiao.

"I wanted to stay at home and take care of things during the past two days before the New Year, but I didn't expect this to happen again. I have to go to the palace immediately. I hope you will have a hard time taking care of this mess at home."

There was a hint of homely feeling in the ordinary words, as if the little accident in the bedroom just now had never happened.

Shen Nanqiao nodded slightly. She always knew what was important and what was not.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything at home. The situation in the court is unpredictable, so be careful."

The two of them were like an ordinary couple in the community, chatting to each other for a while.

Ning Su changed into outer court robes and gave casual instructions.

"If you need anything, send someone to the palace to let me know. If you are wronged, don't bear it. Send someone to deliver a message and I will find a way to deal with it."

Shen Nanqiao smiled, revealing a row of neat teeth.

"After what happened yesterday, who would dare to let me suffer? The emperor has come in person, and everyone in this palace is good at judging people by their appearance. I'm afraid they will have to put up with me, right?"

Ning Su was amused by her tone and said it deliberately.

"Mrs. Changchen is amazing. I don't know who drank two glasses of wine last night and became unconscious. If I hadn't been at home, I would have made a fool of myself."

In an instant, their memories were brought back to the embarrassing moment last night, and they both fell silent.

Shen Nanqiao was quick-witted. He turned around, took down the hanging cloak, and put it on him himself, his tone unconsciously softening.

"I just don't drink for the past two days."

Ning Su looked down at the whorl in her raven hair and sighed softly.

"If you have anything to ask me, ask now."

Shen Nanqiao tilted his head slightly, as if looking at the snow falling outside.

After a pause, he retracted his gaze and took a deep breath.

Just when Ning Su thought she was mentally prepared, the little girl came up with something completely unrelated.

"Did you see that clay figurine I put on the antique shelf?"

The factory official who had remained calm even when faced with a catastrophe was also stunned and cleared his throat.

"Is that what you're going to ask?"

Shen Nanqiao raised his head and their eyes met.

"What do you think I'm going to ask?"

The girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, was young and fresh, with a rare cunning expression on her face, and in the morning light she looked even more crystal clear like jade.

At this moment, she was looking at him with a smile on her face, and seemed very proud of her strategy of retreating in order to advance.

Ning Su couldn't help but laugh.

Putting aside all the social conventions, just in terms of age, he is almost a generation older than her, and the girl's thoughts are as direct as if they were put out in the open.

He looked at the sky outside, knowing that this was not the best time, but he spoke anyway.

"No matter what rumors you hear from others, it's not what the rumors say."

Shen Nanqiao didn't expect that he would take the initiative to break this window paper.

To be fair, ever since she heard from the Empress Dowager that Ningsu once had a girl who was engaged, she sometimes felt vaguely uneasy.

Perhaps it was because he was too sure before, sure that the person in his heart in his previous life was her.

So when she knew that there was indeed someone before her, that little bit of uneasiness would always pop up from time to time.

"Then what should it be like?" She tilted her head slightly, "You tell me, I believe you."

Ning Su stared into her eyes, making sure that the little girl was not just saying polite words, and then slowly said the words that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

"I did discuss marriage with the Ninth Princess, and I did have someone in my heart, but it wasn't her."
