One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

On the wide public road, fine decorative carriages slowly moved forward, and laughter and chatter could be heard from time to time. Inside the car, a gorgeous woman was leaning against the pillow, reading a book to amuse herself. Beside her, there were two young girls in maid attire sitting on each side.

"Miss, when we first entered the capital, wasn't it also like this? When I first thought about returning to the Shen family, my heart was very uneasy.

Inside the horse carriage, it was Shen Ninghua and his four maidservants. The most lively Hong Ling lifted up the curtain by the window and observed the scenery outside as she spoke to Shen Ninghua to relieve her boredom.

Shen Ninghua put down the book, "You are the most heartless. I really didn't see how nervous you were back then." Seven days ago, they finally settled the plague in Jiangnan. After discussing it with Baili JinChuan, they decided to leave quietly without alerting anyone. After all, Jiang Nan's elemental energy was severely damaged, and the officials from other places were all left without jobs. There was no need to get people to send him off.

Hong Ling stuck out her tongue. "I just said that. Hehe, Miss, this time you've done a great service. When we get back, the Emperor will definitely reward you." It would be best if he could let them pass by without having to look at anyone.

Shen Ninghua smiled, "Reward?" "It's good that we don't get dirty when we go back this time."

Bai Yu took out a snack from the secret compartment of the carriage. "Miss, the Emperor is a wise man. He wouldn't have dragged you into the matter regarding the Shen family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made you a princess."

Hong Ling pouted unhappily. "Of course the emperor won't do anything, but those princes aren't certain. Can that Shen Ling Han and Madame Zhao still watch the young lady live peacefully?"

After staying in the Shen family for such a long time, they had a clear understanding of the character of the Shen family. Not to mention Shen Dong being their biological father, he had even repeatedly used the little miss as a shield. Mrs Zhao, Shen Linghan and Shen Xuan wished that they could kill the little miss.

"Then what should we do after we return to the capital?"

Shen Ninghua picked up a piece of dessert and took a bite, "I only said one sentence and all of you are already worrying about it. Don't worry, no matter if they're scheming or plotting something, they still have a way to deal with it."

Hong Ling's eyes lit up. "Miss, what method have you thought of? Can I help?"

Shen Ninghua tapped her forehead and said, "You just have to wait and listen to my orders."

Seeing Shen Ninghua's relaxed expression, Hong Ling was immediately happy. As long as Miss has a way, there was nothing to worry about. "Miss, after we return, we'll be at your birthday banquet. At that time, we'll definitely celebrate our misfortune."

"Mm. Alright." Shen Ninghua readily agreed. In her heart, she thought back to what Chu Junyi and Baili JinChuan had said to her earlier. Who knew how many things she would stir up when she reached her prime?

Bai Yu took out a cup of boiling tea from the secret compartment and poured Shen Ninghua a cup. He sighed in his heart and said, "This carriage is especially exquisite. Everything is prepared." The only bad thing about this carriage was that it was given to him by Mo Junqing. He wondered if some bad news would spread when he returned to the capital.

On the way here, he had used five days and five nights on horseback to rush to Jiangnan. On the way back, he had taken a horse carriage and traveled for about ten days before he finally saw the capital city gate.

Baili Qingfeng did not leave the city to welcome them. On the contrary, it was the Crown Prince, Baili Jinyi, who took the initiative to invite them to wait at the city gate. The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince stood behind the Crown Prince, looking at the distant troops, with a look of jealousy in their eyes. The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince stood behind the Crown Prince, looking at the distant troops, with a look of jealousy and hatred in their eyes, with the Second Prince and the other three in their eyes.

When they were almost at the city gates, Baili JinChuan stopped the team and dismounted his horse to enter the city.

Shen Ninghua was helped down from the carriage by Bai Yan. Looking at the majestic city walls, a faint smile appeared in his eyes. The capital was truly a city that had not been seen in a long time.

"Your servant greets the crown prince." Baili JinChuan dismounted from his horse and immediately bowed when he saw Baili Jinyi. Behind him, five hundred guards, as well as the imperial physician, all shouted in unison:

"Greetings Your Highness. Your Highness, thousand years, thousand years, thousand years!"

Baili Jinyi's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, an unknown emotion flashed across his eyes, "Brother, please excuse yourself. You've worked hard all the way. Imperial Father ordered me to come greet you and everyone else. Let's go."

The two sides of the road were already filled with commoners. When they saw Baili JinChuan, Shen Ninghua and the others, they immediately cheered.

"Second Prince! Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, a thousand years!"

Upon seeing the exhausted faces of the guards, many of them burst into tears. They could already guess how dangerous the situation in Jiangnan was. In such a dangerous situation, these people had no qualms about standing up for them, making them feel extremely touched.

The third prince forcefully suppressed the jealousy in his heart and stepped forward: "Second brother, it's really hard on you this time. Royal father said that we can talk about the matter after the celebratory feast, hurry up and enter the palace." You have killed so many officials of Jiang-Nan, royal father will not care about it. The others will not let you go.

Baili JinChuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Thank you for the reminder, Third Brother."

Shen Ninghua slightly lagged behind, following behind Baili JinChuan and the rest. Baili Jinze, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke, "Is Princess Ninghua doing well?"

Shen Ninghua raised her head. Baili Jinze's gaze was focused, and there was a hint of worry and concern in her eyes. Most people would turn soft immediately upon seeing this, but she did not do this, "Thank you for your concern, Fifth Prince. I'm doing very well."

"Un, I'm relieved like this," Baili Jinze didn't seem to feel the alienation in her tone at all, "Recently, everyone has been very worried about you, I … "I am also worried about you. The Jiangnan Plague is so serious, and I heard that the delivery time of the medicinal ingredients was delayed. If something were to happen to you, I'm afraid a lot of people would be hurt."

The corner of Shen Ninghua's lips raised as his eyes turned cold, "No one would have thought that the medicinal herb would arrive so late so many days later. Fortunately, there was help, so everything went smoothly." Didn't you want to poke around for information, so I'll do as you wish and see what you can figure out?

"Someone is helping you? "I've also heard of some, I heard that they are from the Mo Clan."

"That's right."

Baili Jinze's heart trembled; the Second Prince was already very impressive. After this incident, his prestige would definitely not be on par with anyone. If he also got the help of the Mo Clan, perhaps even the Crown Prince would not be his match.

"What happened to His Highness the Fifth Prince?" Hearing this news, you don't seem happy? "

Receiving Shen Ninghua's questioning gaze, Baili Jinze quickly adjusted his expression, "No, it's just that I didn't expect that after so many years of seclusion, the Mo family would still have people wandering around outside. I'm just surprised. Royal father will definitely be very happy upon hearing this news."

"The more help one gets from the Daoists, the less help the derelicts can give, the King of De is in Jiangnan to help and protect the people of one side. The heavens will naturally send someone of noble character to help, what do you think?"

"... What Ning Hua said was reasonable. I'll take my leave first. " Baili Jinze's expression changed slightly as he took two steps forward, distancing himself from Shen Ninghua.

He couldn't even conceal his emotions. How could he have fought with the princes? He had truly been blind back then. Speaking of which, in his previous life, besides him risking his life to help him, he probably had a lot of luck. Let's see how far he can go this time!

The two sides of the door were filled with guards. When they saw Baili JinChuan coming over, they immediately kneeled down and saluted. The solemn and dignified atmosphere made people unconsciously straighten their backs.

Baili Qingfeng, who wore a dragon robe, stood on the tall steps with his hands behind his back. Beside him was Empress Zhao Huiying, dressed in a luxurious attire.

Baili JinChuan's heart surged, he clasped his hands and said, "Your son greets royal father. Long live, long live, long live the Emperor."

Baili Qingfeng walked down the stairs and personally helped him up, "It's been hard on you, my son."

I have never been treated with such intimacy before. "Baili JinChuan's face was filled with excitement," This son will not hesitate to help royal father with his worries. In addition, this son's methods in dealing with the matters in Jiangnan are improper, royal father, I hope that you can punish me. "

"I am very happy that you can understand this, but I have always been very clear about the rewards and penalties." Baili Qingfeng nodded, and a look of gratification flashed across his eyes: "However, I am very happy that you can understand this, but I have always been very clear about the rewards and rewards.

Shen Ninghua could not help but smile. As expected of Baili Qingfeng, he was worthy of being praised by the commoners as a wise king. This kind of demeanor was hard to come by.

"Ning Hua, I heard that you've gotten sick. Is everything alright?"

"Reporting to your majesty, it's just that I've overworked myself and caught a cold, and everything is already better." Shen Ninghua kneeled down and said.

Baili Qing Cang nodded.

The empress Zhao Huiying suddenly stepped forward to support her shoulders and pulled her to her side, "This girl has become a lot skinnier. Your majesty, I remember that you said before that when you return from the Jiang Nan disaster, you would announce to the world that you will reward her handsomely. I like this little girl very much, you can't forget about her. "

Baili Qingfeng laughed, "That's right. Ninghua, why do you still call us' Emperor '? Shouldn't you call us' Imperial Father 'instead?"

Shen Ninghua's face turned slightly red, but her voice was clear, "Imperial Father!"

"Alright, haha." Baili Qingfeng laughed heartily, "The Hall of Acceptance is hosting a banquet. I want to help the meritorious officials receive a clean sweep of the world!"

The official knelt down and shouted, "Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor."

It was unknown if the Queen had forgotten or what it was like, but she kept holding onto Shen Ninghua's hand, letting her follow by her side.

Shen Ninghua felt a cold sensation on her hand, as if it could seep through her skin and into her heart. She couldn't help but move her fingers.

Feeling her movements, Zhao Hui Ying slightly turned his head and looked at her, and smiled consolingly: "Don't be afraid, since you've already called the emperor 'father', you should naturally call me 'mother'. If there's anything in the future, you can tell me."

Shen Ninghua's heart trembled, but he maintained his composure and replied, "Yes, Imperial Mother. Ninghua understands."

Zhao Hui Ying's smile was gentle and his faint smile was like a cloud in the sky, making people want to cry, but they couldn't approach him: "Ning Hua, I remember that your birthday is coming up in the near future. You'll be here after your birthday?"

"Yes."

"That's good. There hasn't been a happy occasion in the palace for a long time."

Shen Ninghua suddenly raised his head and repeated her words in his heart. A joyous event... Had the empress plotted against her marriage?
