Chapter 509

Although she had finally decided not to make a move on Qi Tai Gui Fei, it was still nice to have her scratching her head for a few days.

Tai Consort Qi ordered the palace to be cleaned several times, and even made a dress for Baili Anning with her own hands.

She had lived a depressing life in the palace all her life, and Baili Jinze and Baili Anning were the equivalent of her life. Only, she was a failed mother in the end. Baili Jinze drilled into a dead end for Shen Ninghua and couldn’t get out, and Baili Anning suffered so much. Many times she had trouble sleeping at midnight and couldn’t hold back her tears when she thought of that dead child.

She regretted, regretted so much that she could not wait for time to rewind, if she could go back to the beginning, she would keep that child even if she had to fight for her life. Now think about it, why was there so much concern in the first place! If Baili Qingcang is now standing in front of her, she would like to take a knife and die with him. It was a pity that no amount of remorse could change the flow of time.

I only hope that this time Baili Anning came back, can slightly put down a little knot in her heart, she does not ask for her forgiveness, she only thinks that she can see her well, do not go away for so long again.

Inside Kun Yu Palace, Hong Ling reported on the recent situation, “Your Highness, as soon as the news of the draft was released, the whole of Kyoto was abuzz with excitement, and now the stores for rouge and powder, head and face jewelry, and clothing and fabrics are making money, and every day there are people who go to buy things, and the several stores that we’ve opened are extraordinarily lucrative.”

Shen Ninghua couldn’t help but laugh, “In that case, it seems to be of some benefit to us.”

“Your Highness, it’s you who is broad-minded.” Anyone else would have been anxious to death, Hongling secretly muttered a sentence, then said, “Zhongzui Palace side let people come to ask again, before once a day, now ask three times a day, slave girl are about to be unable to resist.”

“Imperial Concubine Qi is waiting in a hurry.”

“Well, she also had a list sent to her.”

Shen Ninghua took the list and surveyed it, and couldn’t help but lose a smile, “She’s afraid that she’s making things difficult for An Ning, and she’s intentionally making a gesture of goodwill to me.”

“Yes, Your Highness, this list that Tai Consort Qi has sent is all her manpower, if you want to make use of it or clean it up just take a word from you.”

“Keep it for now, since she gave me the list, she won’t be moving these people to help me comb my hair.”

Hongling hurriedly stepped forward and helped Shen Ninghua gather up a head of inked hair.

Shen Ninghua inserted a simple white jade orchid flower hairpin, and changed into a lotus root color Luo skirt, all dressed up extremely plain, but fresh and elegant people can not move their eyes.

“Your Highness, why are you dressed like this?”

“An Ning is coming back, and the Emperor doesn’t have much to do these days, so let’s go outside the palace to welcome her.”

As he was talking, Baili Junyi quickly ran in holding the oldest and Little Treasure, “Mother, we’re here.”

The two children have not been out of the palace for a long time, they are still thinking about the last time they ate the sugar gourd, today, when they heard that they were able to go out, they were happy to jump up and down, “Mother, have you packed?”

“Well, it’s already fine.” Shen Ninghua reached out and pulled over Xiao Bao, taking out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, “Look at your sweaty head, running all the way here?”

Baili Junyi walked behind Shen Ninghua, took out the ruby Linglong Eight Treasures Hairpin from the jewelry box and put it on her, looking at her plain dress up fiercely bright, he couldn’t help but nodded his head in satisfaction, “Ninghua, even though it’s out of the palace, you don’t have to dress up this plain, this is only good right now.”

Shen Ninghua looked at his gentle smiling eyes through the mirror and couldn’t help but slightly redden between her ears, “It’s getting late, let’s go out quickly, the two children are also waiting anxiously.”

Hearing that he was going to leave now, Little Treasure directly cheered, “Good, Mother, go.”

The family quietly from the palace side door out, let the protection of the guards and dark guards and other people hidden in the dark, but seems quite free and easy. Now although the weather is hot, but the people on the street is still unabated, and even because of the opening of the draft and extra lively, from time to time will be able to see by the family guards in the middle of the street wandering ladies.

Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi were holding two children on one side, walking unhurriedly on the street, attracting many people to gather around, sighing in their hearts that this family is also too good-looking.

The oldest and the youngest bobbed their little heads around, still finding everything they saw new, even though they had already seen it on the street.

“Daddy, look, there are candy canes there.”

Baili Junyi bent down and picked up Xiao Bao, “Does Xiao Bao want to eat? You have to pay for everything you buy, did Xiao Bao bring any money?” He thought of taking this opportunity to teach the two children, so he didn’t let anyone remind them in advance of what they needed to bring, originally thinking that Xiao Bao would reveal a difficult look, and then he, the one who was a father, could take the opportunity to show off and build up a tall image of himself.

Unfortunately, Xiao Bao nodded with a smile and touched the small purse hanging on his body, “Yes, Xiao Bao has money.”

Shen Ninghua couldn’t help but laugh in a low voice, not looking at the foolish father who froze in place.

“Uh, there is money ah, then you go buy it.” Baili Jun Yi put Xiao Bao down, secretly thinking in his heart, even if Xiao Bao has money, it’s gold and silver or something like that, that sugar gourd is only two copper plates a string, the gold and silver she took must not be able to find it, so that he can continue to show a little bit, to build up a tall image of being a daddy.

Xiaobao ran over upside down, tilted his head and asked, “Old grandpa, how much is a sugar gourd?”

The old man selling sugar gourds was stunned, looking at the white jade-like porcelain doll in front of him, and hurriedly took off one and handed it over, “Take it and eat it, don’t pay.”

Xiao Bao froze, the last time she bought sugar gourds it seemed like old grandpa didn’t want money either, “No, Xiao Bao has money.” Saying this, she pulled out ten copper plates from her small purse.

“Old Grandpa, Xiaobao wants to buy four bunches, one for each of father, mother, and brother, how much is it?”

The old man looked at the porcelain doll in front of him, and hearing that she was so filial, he couldn’t help but reach out and touch her head, which was tied up in two small buns, “Good girl, give 5 Wenzhi and that’s enough, keep the other coins to buy candy.”

Xiao Bao smiled and handed the old man the five Wenqian, and then stared blearily at the shelf full of sugar gourds, saw the old man pick all the big ones for her to take, couldn’t help but smile and squint her eyes, one hand after taking one, realized that she couldn’t take it, and hurriedly turned back to greet her own brother, “Brother, come quickly.”

The oldest quickly ran over to help his sister take the sugar gourd, the old man saw another alabaster doll, which only thought to look up and look at the couple standing on the street, always on the street, naturally distinguish what is really rich, this family is afraid to stand on the tip of the people. Thinking of just now he also touched the head of the other people’s little girl, can not help but look at his own rough hands, some bemused to stand in place.

Little Treasure contentedly held up the sugar gourd and crisply said goodbye to the old man, “Goodbye old grandpa.”

“Hey …” The old man looked back, only to realize that the two porcelain dolls have returned to the couple, the family one person a sugar gourd, looks extraordinarily close and harmonious.

Xiao Bao licked a mouthful of the sweet frosting and turned around to see Baili Jun Yi looking at the sugar gourd in his hand as if he were an enemy, “What’s wrong with daddy, don’t you like it?”

Baili Junyi accepted the surveying eyes around him and hastily shook his head, “No, daddy likes it very much.” Saying this, he bit off a sugar gourd in one bite and chewed and swallowed it with an expressionless face.

“Daddy, you have to lick it so it tastes good.”

“Daddy likes to bite and eat.”

The oldest looked at his sister, and then looked at his father, and felt that it was still his father who was domineering, so he also took a bite of the sugar gourd, but unfortunately his mouth was too small, a hawthorn was bitten down, but unfortunately he couldn’t bite it when he wanted to chew it.

Baili Junyi naturally saw his appearance, “Wing Chen, eating is like being a human being, you must not eat too much in one bite and be greedy. You could have bitten down on half of it so that you wouldn’t be stuck with a full mouth in a quandary.”

The oldest’s face was red, somewhat at a loss for words. On the side, Xiao Bao followed her brother’s example and bit into a hawthorn and stuffed it into her mouth, her entire cheeks propped up like a bun, Baili Junyi was shocked and hurriedly told her to spit it out.

Xiao Bao froze and spat out the hawthorn, seeing his brother spit it out as well, he couldn’t help but blink his big eyes, a little unsure, and proceeded to nibble on the rest of the candied hawthorn.

The oldest reached out his hand to hold Bao, and the two of them ate their candy canes like little birds pecking at their food, all the time smiling and surveying the surroundings in such a way that one couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of them.

Seeing a stall selling noodles, Xiao Bao hurriedly pulled his brother and ran over, “Brother, let’s bring a gift for Hong Yun.”

“Uh, good.” The Boss nodded and looked at the many differently shaped noodle figures sitting on the table, looking for half a day and not finding any with a date-red horse, “Old Grandpa, can there be one in the shape of a pony?”

“The old man can pinch one for the little lord now.” The old man who pinched the noodle man had long seen the family, and especially for the two children, his heart was even more fond of them.

Xiao Bao cheered, “Old Grandpa, want the pony’s, want the red one, Red Cloud is a date-red horse.”

Boss added from the sidelines, “Red Cloud is still a pony, he hasn’t grown up yet and his eyes are extra bright.”

The two children were describing Red Cloud’s looks, and they couldn’t help but draw a lot of people on the side to look over, these two children didn’t look very old, but they were so intelligent, it was really surprising.

“Okay, the old man will do it.”

Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua stood aside and watched, not disturbing the two children’s excitement, they should have more contact with people and understand everything about the folk, although they don’t need to be proficient, at least they won’t let people deceive them.

The two children joyfully took the freshly baked little horse-faced man and paid the coins before walking towards Yueyang Tower along with Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi.

Just as I arrived at the door, I heard a warm voice, “Ning Hua …”

Shen Ninghua turned back violently, a watery blue dress of Baili Anning is standing not far away, or two years ago, just no longer as pale and powerless as when leaving, the whole person is gentle and calm a lot, and Qi Tai Guifei was indifferent and uncontested appearance is extremely similar.

Shen Ninghua couldn’t help but smile openly, with a color of excitement under her eyes, “An Ning.”

“I’m back.”
