at the dinner table.
Xie Suzhi looked cold, and Xie Mingan didn't look at Xie Yuanjiu, but kept picking up food for Shen Ningning.
Except for Shen Ningning, everyone ate tastelessly.
Mrs. Xie Er was unable to attend due to physical discomfort.
Xie Yuanjiu An sat calmly across from her, and Mr. Xie sighed solemnly beside her.
at this point.
"Brother, since Yuanjiu is back, I think we should let her stay for now."
Xie Yuanjiu's eyes turned red and he stood up on his own initiative.
She walked to Xie Suzhi's side and bowed her head.
"Uncle, I know that in your previous letter, you objected to my going home because you felt that I had not repented enough."
"However, over the past year, I have already reflected clearly that I did not take good care of Ning Ning. Okay."
"I am willing to apologize to Ning Ning now,"
Xie Yuanjiu said, facing Shen Ningning and bowing her head again.
"Ning Ning, I'm sorry."
Xie Suzhi looked tense and said nothing.
However, Xie Mingan raised his cool eyes, holding a spoon in his hand, and was feeding his sister egg custard.
Looking at Xie Yuanjiu's face, he said coldly: "I remember that my father sent you a letter a while ago, asking you not to come back in a hurry."
"Since you have ignored his instructions, it means that you have your own ideas in mind. Since So, why be so hypocritical?"
Xie Yuanjiu's eyes became increasingly red: "Second brother, I didn't..."
Xie Suzhi finally said, "It doesn't matter if you come back, I won't discipline you anymore."
"I only treat you like this. When I came back for the first time, I really realized my mistake. Let's take this time to spend some time with your father."
Seeing Xie Suzhi relent, Xie Yuanjiu was very happy in her heart.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Xie Yuanjiu turned to look at Shen Ningning.
The little guy finished the whole bowl of egg custard.
Xie Mingan was asking her if she wanted to eat crystal shrimp.
"Ning Ning," Xie Yuanjiu had no intention of letting Shen Ningning go so easily: "I know I didn't do well at the beginning. I hope you don't mind if I come back suddenly this time."
"After all, I also donated money for this cold disaster. A lot of things, a lot of effort, I already know that I was wrong, and I will get along well with you when I come back."
Shen Ningning took a bite of the shrimp and turned to look at her with big eyes.
The little guy seemed to have just noticed such a person.
Her voice was soft: "Will you go back if I say you mind?"
Xie Yuanjiu's expression froze.
Tears fell from her eyes and she looked helplessly at Mr. Xie.
"Dad, it seems that Ning Ning still refuses to forgive me."
Mr. Xie said nothing, only feeling embarrassed.
Xie Yuanjiu did something wrong, and it was normal for Ning Ning to refuse to accept her.
Shen Ningning wanted to prevent Mr. Xie from being caught in the middle.
The little guy smiled playfully.
She snorted at Xie Yuanjiu: "Don't take it seriously, I'm just joking."
However, Shen Ningning knew very well that no one had seen Xie Yuanjiu's malice more clearly than her.
Xie Yuanjiu's evil intentions are hidden under the peaceful disguise.
Just like the seemingly calm water waves, if you look inside, you will see a venomous snake, waiting for an opportunity to bite the visitor.
Xie Yuanjiu knows how to pretend, and Shen Ningning will also play tricks on her!
The little guy was disdainful before.
Now that we have to see each other often, she will not show weakness or underestimate the enemy.
The meal was eaten in a hurry.
Xie Yuanjiu took the initiative to resign.
Mr. Xie followed Xie Suzhi to the study. Xie Suzhi probably had a few words to tell him.
Xie Mingan held Shen Ningning's little hand.
The brother and sister walked under the wind and rain corridor. The hot summer night gradually became cooler with the breeze under the moon.
Shen Ningning was trying hard to break free from Xie Ming'an's hand.
Unexpectedly, two of her chubby fingers squeezed out, and Xie Mingan clenched the remaining fingers.
She was huffing and puffed, and within a short while, her round and white face was covered with powder, and her white forehead was soaked with sweat.
"It's so hot, I don't want to hold hands!" the little guy said dissatisfied.
Xie Ming'an raised his eyebrows: "Look at Xie Yuanjiu, she keeps calling her second brother, and you, my biological sister, don't even want to hold her hand for the second brother."
Shen Ningning stomped her feet, immediately shook her hand, and broke away from his grasp. The little guy put his hands on his hips and said with a lively expression, "You can hold her hand and be her second brother. Anyway, it's good that I have a brother!"
Xie Mingan's face turned cold: "You!"
Shen Ningning ran away, Leaving a trail of naughty laughter.
the next day.
Shen Ningning went into the palace to find Mo Lingwei.
Originally I just wanted to talk to him to relieve his boredom.
Unexpectedly, Mo Ling's busy feet did not touch the ground.
Shen Ningning has been sitting in the imperial study room for two hours.
When she first arrived, a group of ministers came to give important government reports.
Mo Lingwei had no choice but to ask her to sit next to him and wait for now.
However, ministers came to see him one after another.
Shen Ningning drank three pots of tea.
After finally waiting for Mo Lingwei to take a breath, the little guy asked curiously: "Brother, where is the emperor's uncle?"
Mo Lingwei drank two cups of herbal tea to suppress the fatigue and heat.
He said: "My father has been ill recently, so all the government affairs are on my shoulders."
Then, Mo Lingwei lowered his cold eyes and bent down to look at Shen Ningning.
"I'm sorry this time. I was originally going to take you to the Qingliang Pavilion to watch the fish, but there are four ministers outside waiting to report, so I can't accompany you."
Shen Ningning jumped out of the chair.
"It's okay," her voice was soft and soft: "Brother, you are busy, but you should also take care of yourself! Don't be exhausted."
Mo Lingwei wanted to see her off, but unfortunately he was blocked by the ministers as soon as he reached the door. .
Shen Ningning turned around and waved her little hand towards him.
She told him with her eyes -
[Go, go, go, state affairs are important]
After that, Shen Ningning walked down the white jade steps and happened to see a group of patrolling forbidden troops approaching.
She was about to get on the sedan and leave, but she didn't expect that the leader of the imperial army took the initiative to say hello to her.
"In this humble position, please see Princess Funing."
Shen Ningning looked sideways and saw Pei Yin, wearing thin armor, standing not far away and offering his hands to her.
It took her a long time to remember his name.
"Hello Captain Pei." Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes, waiting for Pei Yin's next words.
Did he specifically call her to stop, just to say hello?
Unexpectedly, Pei Yin also pursed his lips and looked at her in silence.
There seemed to be crows flying across the sky.
It seems that I really just wanted to say hello, what a polite captain!
No wonder Xiaowei has a crush on him.
Shen Ningning smiled brightly: "I'll go back first, Captain Pei, you guys are busy."
With that, the little guy waved his hands and said goodbye, and was carried out of the palace on a sedan chair.
After she left, Pei Yin felt that he had not performed well.
I originally wanted to say hello and remind her to take care of her health.
But as soon as he spoke, he forgot.
"They" have been communicating occasionally recently, but Pei Yin feels more and more that Shen Ningning should be a shy and reserved person in private.
Just now he saw her smiling so brightly that it actually made Pei Yin feel strange.
That night.
After Qi Xiuwei had dinner, she learned that her grandmother had ordered her father to find a way to bring her into the palace in a few days, so she locked herself in the room.
Cried loudly.
Mrs. Qi heard that the Li family had returned to Beijing and that Mr. Li's daughter Li Yuyi was likely to become the crown prince's maid.
Therefore, she gave ruthless orders regardless of whether Qi Xiuwei's illness was still recovering.
at this time.
Meng Yi came as usual and brought a letter.
She wiped away her tears and opened it. Sure enough, it was written by Pei Yin for her.
Qi Xiuwei showed a happy smile on her face.
However, the first sentence of the letter made her expression change.
Pei Yin said -
[There have been two or three outbreaks of plague in the palace recently. ]
