One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]
Not long after Shen Ninghua left, the crown prince walked out from behind a fake mountain beside Ning Kun Palace. Seeing Shen Ninghua's leaving figure, he waved his hand and ordered the hidden guards, "For the next few days, keep a close eye on the Second Prince's Mansion and the County Lord's Mansion. You absolutely cannot let anything happen to her and Baili JinChuan. "Kill them..."
The Crown Prince's voice was filled with endless coldness, but the guards seemed to be accustomed to it and replied flatly, "Yes, master."
Upon returning to the Shen family, Shen Ninghua immediately called for Hong Ling, "Hong Ling, is there any news from the capital recently?"
"Master, there's no special news." Hong Ling shook her head.
Shen Ninghua frowned. She kept having the feeling that the empress's attitude was a little strange, but she couldn't tell what exactly was strange until three days later, a shocking piece of news arrived.
"The Great Yue State will soon send an envoy to the capital to request for the marriage of the imperial concubine for the Sixth Prince of the State of Yue."
Hearing Hong Ling pass on the news, Shen Ninghua's face suddenly changed. In his previous life, there had never been such a case.
The Great Yue State and the Great An State were both great kingdoms, but because the Great Yue State was separated by a tall mountain, they had been safe for many years. This time, the Great Yue State had suddenly appeared and wanted to marry the prince.
When Chu Junyi entered the room and saw Shen Ninghua's grave expression, she knew that Shen Ninghua must have received the news as well. "Congee Hua, have you heard about it?"
"Yes. Great An and Great Yue State haven't had any contact with each other by royal members for many years. There are only some caravans going back and forth in business. Why did they suddenly come here to seek a marriage?"
Chu Junyi shook her head. "I haven't received any specific information either. I'll have to wait for them to arrive before I can take a look."
Shen Ninghua nodded and did not feel too disappointed. When the Great Yue State arrived, he would naturally know the answer.
Chu Junyi looked at her white and transparent face under the sunlight. She suddenly spoke up. "Ning Hua?"
"Hmm?" Shen Ninghua raised her head and a strand of hair accidentally fell from her ear, landing right next to her cheek. This caused her to lift her head and press her hair behind her ear.
Shen Ninghua raised a hand to try again, but Chu Junyi held onto his wrist.
Chu Junyi's gaze was focused on the two of them, and her emotions flooded her mind. She didn't know why, but as she moved her white fingers in front of her eyes, he subconsciously caught them in his hands.
Shen Ninghua frowned, then looked up at Chu Junyi with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly …" Grab my hand?
Chu Junyi didn't answer. Instead, she reached out and stroked her hair, carefully smoothing it away. The warmth of her palms caressed her face, bringing a sense of warmth to those who looked on.
Raising her head to look at that pair of deep and focused eyes, Shen Ninghua suddenly didn't know what to say. She could only raise her head and stare blankly at his handsome face, allowing the complicated emotions in those eyes to slowly engulf her.
At first, he only wanted to help her retract her hair, but when he felt that Shen Ninghua had no objections, Chu Junyi caressed her face gently with a warm and doting look in her eyes.
At this time, Shen Ninghua, whose eyes were blankly staring into space, was unexpectedly very cute. This made him involuntarily think of a cat that was basking in the sunlight. Squinting its eyes to sleep, he couldn't help but feel a rush of warmth in his heart.
"Ning Hua, how about you marry me?"
Shen Ninghua raised her head to look at him, her eyelashes trembling as she finally escaped from the depressing atmosphere. Her ears were flushed red, and she angrily waved Chu Junyi away. "Looks like I can't be alone with you anymore, otherwise I'd never know when I was schemed against."
Chu Junyi felt a twinge of pity when she saw her reaction. "You little girl. Can I even win against you?"
"Why not? Didn't I almost fall for it just now?" Shen Ninghua raised an eyebrow.
Chu Junyi was annoyed and amused at the same time. "I was just trying to prove my innocence. You're not trying to trick me, are you? Are you stupid?"
Shen Ninghua turned around and said, "Who knows what you're thinking!"
"You …" Chu Junyi glared fiercely at her and lifted her head to stroke the strands of hair on her forehead, but she couldn't bear to trample on them. She gently stroked them as she stiffly retracted her arm, "Alright, the Xiao family has a lot of things to do in the next few days, so I can't leave for too long. I'll get the bird to send a message. If you need anything, you can send someone to look for me."
"Alright, I understand." Shen Ninghua lowered his head slightly, looking absent-minded.
Chu Junyi looked deeply at her for a moment, then turned and left.
When there was no one in the room, Shen Ninghua sat in a daze for a moment. He slowly raised his hand to cover his forehead. He could still feel the warmth emanating from him. "If there's really no other way, then Chu Junyi is a good choice."
A few days later, Lady Zhang prepared all the medicinal ingredients needed, but she did not dare to use them carelessly again. She had long since sent for Shen Ninghua. Shen Ninghua did not refuse and ordered for the medicinal herbs to be boiled before Zhao Ruyun was treated.
Last time, Zhao Ruyun had been in a coma because her injuries were too severe. This time, she turned around and looked at Shen Ninghua the moment he entered the door.
Right now, Zhao Ruyun looked a little better than before. Her face no longer had the sickly blue and white colour of a human, and there was an extra shade of blood on it, "I never would have thought that the one who would save me in the end would be you."
Shen Ninghua ignored her gloomy gaze and easily took out the golden needle. "What, are you disappointed to see my Miss Zhao here? Or is the person you want to see Shen Ling Han? "
Shen Ling Han? Haha, that bitch? " After lying in bed for so long, this was the first time that Zhao Ruyun thought about the past. If it wasn't for Shen Ling Han's scheming, how could she have fallen from the fake mountain pavilion? Furthermore, the past few times had clearly been her fault, and the one who helped her in the end was herself!
In the past, he was like a good gun. Whenever Shen Ling Han disliked him, she would attack him. Even the Fifth Prince, Baili Jin Ze, was impressed by Shen Ling Han.
Even though she hated Shen Ninghua and hated the humiliation of kneeling down and admitting her mistakes, she was even more ruthless towards Shen Linghan! Knowing that she would be cured, she had thought about how she would take revenge on Shen Linghan in front of her. She would definitely make Shen Linghan pay the price!
With regards to Zhao Ruyun's hatred, Shen Ninghua didn't care about it at all. Fortunately, there was hatred. Otherwise, Zhao Ruyun's ruined body would have collapsed a long time ago.
At first, when the golden needle pierced his skin, he didn't feel anything, but as time passed, all sorts of soreness and pain flooded his skin, causing Zhao Ruyun to scream out loud.
Shen Ninghua took a towel and shoved it into her mouth, "Don't take your anger out of your mouth, otherwise my strength would be wasted."
After applying the medicine, Zhao Ruyun quickly passed out. Shen Ninghua wiped the sweat off her forehead and took out a pill to feed her.
With this treatment, Zhao Ruyun should be able to move around easily. She should be able to move freely before the messenger from the Great Yue State arrived. This way, the next big show would be more than exciting. After all, no one could be missing the members of the Zhao Family, right?
Half a month later, the Zhao Family sent over joyous news, saying that Zhao Ruyun who had his spine broken had actually recovered completely. However, this news didn't stir up much of a commotion, because everyone's eyes were focused on the incoming messenger of the Great Yue State.
According to the rumors, in order to show the sincerity of the marriage proposal, the Sixth Prince of the Great Yue State, Bu Jinglan, personally accompanied the envoy. Although this prince was ranked sixth, he was the emperor's favorite prince. Not only was he well-versed in martial arts and literature, he was also well-versed in the theory of planning.
This time, when they heard that a legendary prince was coming, the citizens rushed to the streets and stood on both sides of the street, eagerly awaiting his arrival.
Shen Ninghua had entered the palace early in the morning and was waiting in Prince An's palace to watch her dress and dress up. "I'm afraid that the Sixth Prince would have taken a fancy to you with just a glance."
"Don't spout nonsense. With the moonlight shining down on you, how could we, who have the color of fireflies, compete with you?"
Shen Ninghua got up and personally chose a simple and elegant phoenix hairpin for Baili Anyuan's hairpin, "Princess, your words are wrong. I'm just an adopted daughter recognized by the emperor, but I can't stand in the front row and have to welcome everyone in front. It's not easy to see me, but for you, you and Ninth Princess are the only princesses in the palace right now. If you don't have the mood to be intimate with me, then there's no need for you to dress up like this."
"As the princess of the imperial household, we cannot lose face for the imperial family this time. That Sixth Prince must have investigated our situation thoroughly before he came here, so it would be better for him to not hide it from others. Perhaps, that Sixth Prince's handsome and unrestrained character is just like my husband!"
When Shen Ninghua heard this, he burst out laughing. He was laughing so hard that he couldn't even straighten his back. However, he never expected that Baili Ang's words would be correct.
Standing amongst the group of female staff members welcoming him, Shen Ninghua watched as he slowly approached, riding a black, godly BMW, with slight surprise in his eyes.
In her two lives, she had seen many handsome men. Even though Bu Jinglan was not the most outstanding one, she was still one of the most unique one. His aura was calm like a pool of clear water, allowing her to see through everything, yet making it seem as if everything was just a reflection on the water, making her unable to see anything clearly.
"The prince of Great Yue State, Bu Jinglan, greets the Emperor of the Great An Kingdom."
Seeing the other party's respectful gesture and respectful attitude, Baili Qingfeng said with a gentle expression, "Sixth Prince, you have come all the way here without any formalities. It has been a long journey."
Bu Jinglan straightened his body. The silver prince's attire made him look even more otherworldly: "It is my honor to be able to come to the Great An Country. I can't bear the two words' hard work '."
"Haha, good. A banquet will be held in the palace today to help welcome you all."
Bu Jinglan smiled and nodded. With an indescribable elegance, he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shen Ninghua secretly sized up Bu Jinglan and the group of envoys behind him with a cold look in his eyes. This Sixth Prince was truly not simple, he went up to negotiate with them and the envoys behind him did not even budge. Even the horses were standing straight.
Suddenly, she felt a gaze land on her. She couldn't help but raise her gaze to meet with a pair of smiling brown eyes …
