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

Yang Yingxue smiled bitterly and shook her head, "To the princess, this is an arduous chore. It might be a good place for me. "The other is called Ice, my honey."

What she did not want was what she had always wanted, and could not help but mock. If it was any other person, she would definitely fight for it with all her might. However, when facing Shen Ninghua, she could not afford to fight for it, much less have the qualifications to fight for it.

Looking at Yang Yingxue's expression, Shen Ninghua's heart was moved. Although this cousin of hers had done unwise things, she was fortunate enough to repent in time and have shown her generosity ever since. After all, they were related by blood, and if possible, she did not want her to enter the fire pit in the Second Prince's estate.

However, perhaps it was just as she said, she could not help her decide her fate.

"Cousin, you should also know about my conflict with the Second Prince. I can't help you with this matter."

Yang Yingxue looked up with tears in her eyes, "The princess wants to help me, so she naturally has a way."

Shen Ninghua shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but the Second Prince has changed a lot. I have no way to figure out what he's thinking right now."

Hearing her rejection, Yang Yingxue's heart turned cold, "Princess, you are the most intelligent, you will definitely have a way, right? Besides, isn't this good for you? "Although it hasn't reached the public, everyone in the court knows that the Second Prince is deeply in love with you. Now that you are pregnant, it is inconvenient for you to move about. If the Second Prince makes things difficult for you right now, it will not be beneficial for you either."

Shen Ninghua's brows twitched. Although these words were reasonable, they carried a sense of coercion within them. No matter how one listened, they would make them feel unhappy.

Yang Yingxue quickly followed, "At the very least, I can pass on the news from the Second Prince's residence to you. Cousin, please help me, the only person I can think of is you. "

This was the first time she called her cousin, but she was begging her for this …

"Alright," Yang Yingxue excitedly wiped away her tears and stood up, "Cousin, rest more. I won't disturb you anymore."

"Bai Yan, help me see Cousin out."

Returning to the Hua Jun Pavilion, Shen Ninghua kept thinking about this matter.

Chu Junyi watched as she was lost in thought, and couldn't help but worry for him. "Ninghua, what's wrong?" "What did Miss Yang say?"

"Yang Yingxue wants to marry Baili Jinchuan."

Chu Junyi smiled and pulled her down to a seat. "It might be a good marriage between two people. Don't think too much about it, it's time for a meal."

Half a month later, the second prince, Baili JinChuan, returned with his army.

The Crown Prince, on behalf of the Emperor, Baili Qingfeng, came out of the city to welcome them and reward the three armies.

The commoners welcomed him with cheers that pierced the heavens.

The Hundred Miles Blue Dragon was overjoyed. It set up a welcoming banquet in the Cheng Gan Palace. All the civil and military officials, along with their children's family members were present to welcome the Second Prince.

Shen Ninghua stood in front of the bronze mirror, letting Bai Yan and Bi Zhu change their clothes.

Bai Yiyan carefully smoothed the jade pendant and Ying Luo hanging from Shen Ninghua's waist, looking a little worried. "Miss, will you allow this servant and the cyan sparrow to accompany you to the palace?"

Shen Ninghua smiled slightly and said, "I'm going to the palace for a banquet, how could I possibly bring you guys with me?"

"But when the time comes, there will be too many people. Even if it's Master Prince Consort, he can't always be by Miss's side. This servant always feels that it's not appropriate."

Shen Ninghua lowered her head and stroked her belly. It had only been less than three months, and she did not show it at all. "There's going to be a lot of time from now on, how can I not move at all? He's my child, so he naturally knows that we have to share hardships and share hardships. There's no need for him to be so delicate. "

Chu Junyi entered the carriage with her and set off for the imperial palace.

After finishing dressing up, Baili Jingjing entered the palace early and arrived at the Jin Yang Palace, where Baili JinChuan was temporarily resting. Upon receiving permission, he walked in and immediately saw Baili JinChuan sitting on a chair.

Compared to before, he was much thinner. He was currently dressed in prince's clothes, but it was as if he was wearing armor and holding a golden spear in his hand.

"Second brother, don't you already have the Body Refining Ointment in your hands? Why …." After staring blankly for a long time, he finally saw the scar on Baili JinChuan's face. Baili Jing was extremely shocked.

Baili JinChuan raised his eyes, but didn't respond to her words. Instead, he asked, "Have you been doing well after getting married for the past few days?"

Baili An's heart ached. Even though his voice was extremely cold, his concern was genuine. "You treated me very well."

"Mm, that's good."

Baili Ang didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything. He just played with a jade pendant. The entire hall was silent for a moment.

After a long while, Baili Ang broke the silence, "The battlefield is dangerous, and the journey is far away. Can second brother's body withstand it?"

Baili JinChuan lowered his head and looked at his right hand, and said indifferently, "One of your arms is missing, everything else is fine."

Baili An's heart trembled, and his eyes fell on his right hand, "Arm?"

"Blades and swords have no eyes. In order to preserve one's life, an arm is nothing."

"Second brother, aren't you the commander? You won't kill the enemy yourself, so why would you be worried about your life?"

Baili JinChuan raised his eyes, and his starry eyes were as cold as a frozen lake, yet he once again avoided Baili An's question, "The banquet is about to start, I want to go there early. You want to come with me?"

Baili An's heart trembled, and he looked at Yun Che carefully, "I … I want to wait for Xiao Hua together. "

Baili Jin Chuan nodded, his expression didn't change at all, "Hmm, since that's the case, I'll leave first."

"Big brother …"

"What's the matter?" Baili JinChuan frowned and turned around?

"No, nothing."

Baili JinChuan withdrew his cold eyes and walked out.

When he mentioned Shen Ninghua earlier, Baili JinChuan didn't seem to have any reaction, as if he had already let go of her. However, she always felt that this was against the rules and that now that she was pregnant, she really did not want any problems to occur again.

Baili Qingyuan and the Empress had both arrived a bit earlier for today's banquet.

Not long after Shen Ninghua sat down, the announcement sounded outside.

"The emperor arrives, the empress arrives."

These days, the imperial harem was in turmoil, but Zhao Hui Ying didn't seem to be affected in the slightest. Today, she was wearing a yellow queen's attire with a phoenix pearl hairpin stuck in the top of her head. This person's face was full of glory.

After everyone had finished bowing, Baili Qingfeng opened his mouth and said in a joyous tone, "Everyone, this is a welcoming banquet that will be held for our second son, Baili JinChuan. No need to stand on ceremony."

"Yes, thank you, your majesty the Emperor." Baili Qingfeng had a serious expression on his face as he asked, "Where is the Second Prince?"

Baili Jinchuan stepped forward and knelt down, "I, Baili Jinchuan, greet my royal father. I have to thank you for setting up this banquet."

"Haha, get up quickly. Although you and I are monarchs, we are still father and son. Our son has just returned from an expedition, how could the father not help you wash your face?"

Zhao Hui Ying's affectionate eyes paused for a moment before they suddenly shone with a layer of cold light.

Baili Jinchuan was his son, but was the Crown Prince not his son? In front of a hundred civil and military officials, if the Emperor were to praise the Second Prince like this, then where would he place the Crown Prince?

Baili Jinchuan looked up, his cold eyes carried warmth and admiration, "Your son thanks royal father. I will not disappoint my royal father's request, and have finally completed my mission. I will repel the bandits of the Northwestern Prefecture, pacify the rebellion, and return the military token to my royal father. "

Bai Li Qing Cang's eyes flashed. He stood up and walked down the stairs, bent down and helped Bai Jin Chuan up, "Alright! "I have already given the order to make you a prince, to enjoy a double salary, to bestow upon you the title of righteousness, and to hold a great bestowal ceremony for you at your behest."

"This son dares not disrespect you."

"Haha, you're my good son, why wouldn't you dare?"

Looking at the scene of the father showing mercy to his son, the officials all stood up and paid their respects. "Your majesty the Emperor is wise and wise, Prince De is brave and warlike! Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations to Prince De! "

He raised his hand and solemnly patted Baili JinChuan's shoulder, and then walked back to his throne, "Today, everyone will have a good time, and will never return until you're drunk!"

"Yes, thank you, your majesty the Emperor."

The music started, and the dancers began to dance. For a moment, both the monarchs and officials seemed to enjoy each other's company, and the atmosphere was especially lively.

Baili'an, who was sitting next to Shen Ninghua, took a sip from his cup and immediately frowned, "Eh? It was actually wine. Xiao Hua, you can't drink alcohol.

There was a custom of drinking wine in the Wind Receiving Banquet, so it was normal for the women to serve wine. Thus, Baili An didn't pay much attention to it.

Shen Ninghua lowered her head to sweep her gaze over the wine cup. Suddenly, she felt a gaze that seemed to be solid on her body. She hurriedly raised her head and met the gaze of Baili JinChuan.

Sensing Shen Ninghua's gaze, Baili Jin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his ice-cold gaze sweeping across Shen Ninghua's body inch by inch. She had not applied any makeup today, nor did she have any decorations made from pearls. She was only wearing her usual princess attire. However, amongst the numerous female servants, she was as eye-catching as ever.

As he thought of this, he raised the wine cup and took a sip. He felt the burning wine slide down his throat as if it had been burned. His internal organs were all burning with pain.

Congealed, Shen Ninghua … I'm back.

Shen Ninghua closed her eyes, her thick eyelashes covering the ripples that appeared in her eyes. Compared to before, the current Baili JinChuan was truly unfathomable.

At this time, someone suddenly suggested, "Your majesty, since today is the welcoming banquet, there is naturally no lack of singing and dancing. This humble subject's daughter is not talented and just happens to have a touch of the zither arts, how about we present a song?"

It wasn't a secret that the emperor was choosing an imperial concubine for the second prince. How could he not make good use of such an opportunity?

When those words were spoken, it immediately caused everyone to be stirred up. Even some of the ladies with important statuses were moved. Even if they couldn't get a good impression of the Second Prince, it was extremely difficult to get a reward from the Emperor.

Baili JinChuan's expression remained unchanged. Only when he glanced at Shen Ninghua did he feel a bit of a ripple.
