Chapter 112 First Tears
Zong Si hugged Ning Fu tightly and buried his head in her neck. After a moment, she actually felt a little wet.
He could actually cry.
Nymph found it somewhat unbelievable; this was the first time she saw him cry.
In his previous life, he seemed to have never been affected by his mood. No matter what happened, he always looked calm and indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him.
In this life, he treated her a little differently because he had dreamt that she was his wife and had some feelings for her. However, when facing other people, he was still cold in his bones.
Zong Si is essentially a selfish and indifferent person. Although he can be considered a good official in state affairs, that is just because he is in that position and has the responsibility. A man may be commendable in public affairs, but that does not mean he is a good person in private.
He seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, and just called her Afu over and over again, begging her to open her eyes and look at him.
The man's voice was low and hoarse.
Therefore, Nymph was in a trance for a long time. Although she felt a little touched in her heart, she was mostly numb. Maybe when she was just reborn, she could be moved by his words, but now she no longer had that state of mind.
Even though his embrace was extremely warm, she did not linger.
She is different from the nymph in her previous life.
"Why wouldn't the prince go to the north? I heard that the prince will leave soon." Ning Fu said politely with a smile.
Her voice woke him up, but Zong Si still held her in his arms without moving. Instead, he rubbed against her arms and hugged her tighter, which showed that he was reluctant to let her go.
"Afu, how about trying with me again?" Zong Si was extremely greedy for the moment of hugging her like this. When he thought about how he did the same with others, jealousy surged in his heart.
"The prince is drunk." Ning Fu said.
"You can negotiate terms with me." Zong Si pondered.
"You are really drunk." Ning Fu said. She didn't dare to offend him before because she didn't have a clear backer, but now that she has Meng Yuan behind her, it's completely different.
Once you have chosen your master, you must be loyal to him and must not be indecisive. Since she decided to choose Meng Yuan, it would be impossible for her to get too close to Zong Si.
Zong Si looked up at her, his eyes also a little red, staring at her and said: "You clearly know that I am awake at the moment."
Ning Fu firmly pushed him away, pondered for a moment, and said distantly: "Your Highness, this makes me worried. In the future, you will force me, which is tantamount to forcing me to find someone to marry for protection."
Zong Si's body froze for a moment.
"But the prince must be careful this time he goes back to the north." Ning Fu thought of the previous life. When Zong Si went back to the north, there was no news of him in the capital for a long time. Although King Xuan was fine, no one knew what would happen to him.
But since he came back safely in the end, nothing serious should happen.
The more she cared, the more Zong Si wanted to linger. Even though he knew it would be fruitless, he still said in a deep voice: "Afu, can't you really try again with me?"
If a person continues to pester after knowing the outcome, then he will lose both his face and his dignity. For Zong Si, who has always been high and mighty, he has never felt so humble.
Ning Fu suddenly smiled and said, "Your Highness, do you think that the position of Crown Prince's Consort is very attractive? If you really want to talk about it, wouldn't the Sixth Prince's Crown Princess be more honorable? She might even be the Queen in the future, and I can also find a job for the Duke's Mansion."
This means that Zong Si's power is not as great as Meng Ze's.
Men, however, cannot bear the blow in this matter.
She did not say this for no reason. Now that she stood on Meng Yuan's side, Zong Si and Meng Zeruo had a rift in their hearts, which was not a bad thing. However, these two were not so easily provoked when it came to interests.
"The prince's wife may not be more noble than my crown prince's wife." Zong Si looked at her in a deep voice.
Ning Fu was somewhat shocked in her heart. Zong Si's words could be considered as treason. But if she thought about it carefully, if the power of Prince Xuan's Mansion was still at its peak and Meng Ze was in great need of the support of Prince Xuan's Mansion, he might not be out of control of Prince Xuan's Mansion.
It is also very likely that Zong Si will become the regent in the future.
This is not surprising, the Xuanwang Mansion also mostly watched the fight from afar. It was because they were afraid that Meng Ze's own power would grow stronger and thus escape the control of the Xuanwang Mansion.
Ning Fu thought again of Qingtian Pavilion and the Fu family who did business for him. They were clearly people from Prince Xuan's Mansion, but they were not very clear about this. She was afraid that the person with such ambition was not Prince Xuan, but only Zong Si.
"I'll go find someone to take the prince downstairs to rest." Ning Fu didn't dare to pretend that she understood, so she turned around and left in a hurry.
After she left, Zong Si frowned, but he never thought that he couldn't stand her mentioning others. When he thought of Meng Ze, his eyes became even more obscure.
Meng Ze had mentioned more than once that he wanted to take Ning Fu as a concubine when the Duke's Mansion fell into decline.
After Ning Fu ordered her servants to find Zong Si, she saw Zhang He.
The little girl's whole face was red at the moment, and she was a little distracted.
"Sister Zhang, are you sick?" Ning Fu walked up and touched her forehead.
Zong Ning said, "I don't know what's wrong with Sister Zhang. She has been absent-minded just now. I called her several times, but she pretended not to hear me."
When Zhang He saw her, his face turned even redder and he whispered, "Sister Ning."
"It's windy today, but I'm sick," said Nymph.
Zhang He recalled the scene of Ning Fu and the prince entangled together. The prince was so eager, and Sister Ning was so small in his arms, and he hugged her with one hand.
Her heart was beating fast, she shook her head and said, "Sister Ning, can I ask you a question?"
"Of course." Nymph looked at her with some confusion.
"How does it feel to like someone? Your heart beats fast and you always think of him. Is it possible?" Zhang He asked in a low voice, his whole face red.
Nymph paused and said, "Maybe."
Zong Ning also came over and joked with a smile: "Which young master did you meet, sister Zhang, that made you act like this?"
Zhang He blushed and denied: "No."
But she knew clearly in her heart that maybe, maybe she liked the Crown Prince, but would he like her? When she was young in the North, he treated her very well, better than he treated all the other female monarchs except An Ning.
But the Crown Prince seemed to like Sister Ning, which made her feel a little helpless. If the Crown Prince and Sister Ning were a couple, she would be a bad queen if she destroyed them. She could not snatch Sister Ning's marriage.
Zhang He felt both sad and painful. The lady of Hua'an Prefecture could not be a concubine.
Ning Fu saw her pain and knew in her heart that Zhang He might have seen Zong Si and herself.
It's the beginning of love, but in such a situation, any woman would be sad.
In the previous life, Zhang He went to the North. He was about the age of coming of age and in the prime of his life. Zong Si was already twenty-five years old. It was probably in the North that he was infected by her sincerity. Being together day by day, it was hard not to fall in love with her.
"Sister Ning, do you have a young man you like?" Zhang He suddenly asked her.
The nymph looked at her.
She looked at herself too.
Ning Fu knew that she was waiting for her to deny that she liked Zong Si.
