Chapter 113 Zhang Hexin
Ningfu looked at Zhang He quietly.
I watched the little girl's face gradually turn redder, and finally she lowered her head, holding up the hem of her skirt with her hands, somewhat helplessly.
"I don't have anyone I like." Nymph looked at her and smiled kindly.
Zhang He suddenly looked up at her, but didn't say much, just bit his lower lip.
But Ning Fu ignored her. She didn't like the scheming little girl. Even Cheng Shuang or Rong Min, who had been at odds with her before, didn't give her that feeling.
It was not until they were about to leave that Zhang He grabbed her wrist and asked cautiously, "Sister Ning, are you angry with me?"
"Why should I be angry with you?" Ning Fu looked down at her. It was impossible for her to say that she didn't feel any annoyance at all.
"I, I...Sister Ning, please tell you the truth, please don't be angry with me." Zhang He refused to let her go.
Nymph glanced at her and walked with her to a remote place.
"Sister Ning, I just saw you and the prince brother." Zhang He didn't know why, and suddenly burst into tears, saying, "Sister Ning, I seem to like the prince brother a little. Seeing him so close to you, I am a little envious, and even my heartbeat is faster. But I also know that if you like each other, I have to control myself."
Zhang He said with some pain that she didn't want to like someone she shouldn't like.
But this is something I cannot help. I cannot stop myself from liking someone.
"I used to think that I admired my brother, the prince. He was so powerful, more powerful than my brothers. But now that little bud has broken through that layer of window paper, and I realized my feelings." Zhang He's tears became more and more violent, and he asked for help, "Sister Ning, what should I do?"
Ningfu's mood was a little complicated. Although Zhang He was a little cunning, he really treated her as a close sister.
But it is precisely because of this that the little girl who currently admires and relies on her will be with her ex-husband in the future, which makes her feel even more uncomfortable.
"You have to solve this problem yourself. I can't give you an answer." Nymph said.
Zhang He bit his lip and said, "Will you be with the prince brother? If so, I will stay away from the prince brother."
The nymph looked at her for a moment and said, "I will not be with him."
Zhang He wanted to ask, if that was the case, could she be with the prince in the future? What she wanted was what Sister Ning didn't want, so would there be no problem?
But for no reason, she felt in her heart that she shouldn't ask this question, and she stood there without saying a word.
Nymph said, "I should go back home."
Zhang He said: "Sister Ning and Brother Crown Prince are so... close, will Brother Crown Prince take the initiative to mention that he is responsible for Sister Ning?"
Ning Fu looked at her and said, "Sister Zhang, you don't have to test me. Your affairs and your feelings are all your own decisions. If you don't tell me, the guilt in your heart will disappear."
It is perfectly normal for a young man and a lady to visit each other in different houses. Even if they have visited each other with their good friends before and then visited each other themselves, it is not considered a breach of propriety as they have put etiquette first.
For example, after Zong Sixiang saw Xie Ruyi, and then he saw other female monarchs, no one would say anything about Xie Ruyi.
And Zhang He kept saying "I like you" in front of Ning Fu, but in fact it was because she felt guilty. What she wanted was for Ning Fu to take the initiative to say: Go and like Zong Si, it's no big deal.
That way she can follow her heart with peace of mind.
Ning Fu thought that if Zhang He did anything wrong, it was not his fault. She and Zong Si had no future together, so even if she married Zong Si, it was reasonable for both men to be unmarried and women to be unmarried.
But Nymph would never express her love to a female monarch who had been intimate with her lover. That would be like forcing the other party to make concessions, which is also a kind of backstab.
Zhang He's face was a little pale, but he still refused to let go of Ning Fu's hand: "Sister Ning, I don't want to lose you as a friend, nor do I want to be a bad queen who betrays you. I will stay away from my brother, the prince."
Just mentioning it still makes me feel a little bitter and aggrieved.
Ning Fu pulled her hand away firmly and said, "Sister Zhang, you don't have to make a decision for me."
Zong Ning also noticed something was wrong and walked up to her and said, "Sister Zhang, why are you crying?"
Not far away, Zong Si was also looking at them.
Zhang He wiped his tears and forced a smile: "Nothing."
Ning Fu saw that her eyes were red beyond belief, and said to Zong Ning: "Sister Ning, you can send Sister Zhang back."
"Sister Ning, are you okay?" Zong Ning asked her with concern.
Ningfu felt a little warm in her heart, smiled and said: "I have nothing to do, I should go back home."
Now that Zhang Linsheng was injured, everyone in Hua'an Prefecture was extremely busy, and the task of escorting her back fell on the shoulders of Prince Xuan's Mansion.
Zong Ning brought Zhang He to Zong Si. The latter withdrew his gaze from Ning Fu and saw that the little girl looked frightened and aggrieved.
When he saw himself, he lowered his head.
Because of Zhang Linsheng's contribution, Zong Si naturally loved Zhang He and his family. He handed the candy in his hand to her and said to her as if she were a younger generation: "If your father knew that you were crying so sadly, you should blame the palace for making you suffer."
Zong Si joked with her in a nonchalant manner.
Zong Ning glanced at his brothers and felt that his third brother seemed to have something on his mind at the moment, and he was clearly being perfunctory when talking to Sister Zhang.
He couldn't help but look at Sister Ning again. Sister Ning seemed to pause for a moment before she walked away again.
Zhang He's heart was beating fast. The prince was not as cold to her as he was to other people, which made her at a loss.
Ning Fu looked back and saw Zong Si looking down at Zhang He, who took the candy from his hand with a little hesitation, "Thank you, Brother Prince."
…
There are many guests in the prince's mansion today.
Ning Fu waited in the stable for a while, and Lu Xingzhi was there too, so the two of them stood aside with the others and waited together.
"I'm in a bad mood today," Lu Xingzhi asked her sideways.
Ning Fu did not deny it in front of him. In fact, if she thought about it carefully, there was nothing worth worrying about, so she didn't need to care.
"I should control myself and not let myself be affected by unworthy people or things," said Nymph.
"Think about happy things, like Lord Ning is coming back soon." Lu Xingzhi said.
Ning Fu thought of her mother's reminder, "My mother asked you to come to the Duke's Mansion as a guest."
Lu Xingzhi smiled and said, "Okay."
When Ning Fu saw him smile, she felt a little more relaxed. She liked seeing him smile. For someone who usually didn't like to smile, he would look even better when he smiled like this.
As they were talking, Meng Ze came over and said with a smile: "Cousin Ning."
Lu Xingzhi pursed his lips.
I just mentioned Meng Ze today, and I met him right now.
"Sixth cousin." Ning Fu said politely in a low voice.
Meng Ze stared at her small earlobe, feeling an inexplicable tingling in his heart, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I wanted to say hello to you just now, but I didn't see you."
Ning Fu said: "I went to see Sister Xie."
"Your sister Xie is marrying the prince. What do you think, Afu?" Meng Ze asked with some meaning. Now that Ning Zhenyuan has returned to Beijing and is about to be promoted, it is actually not a bad idea for him to marry a lady from a duke's mansion, just like Meng Che.
"His Highness the Fourth Prince has deep affection for Sister Xie, which is naturally enviable," said Ning Fu.
Meng Ze's smile became more obvious. He glanced at Lu Xingzhi's indifferent expression and naturally didn't care. Even if they wanted to fight, how could he be his opponent?
"What's in your cousin Ning's hand?" Meng Ze asked softly.
Ning Fu also held wedding candy in her hand, which she brought back to Ning He: "This is the wedding candy that Sister Xie gave me."
Meng Ze naturally took one from her, and no matter how reluctant Ning Fu was, she couldn't refuse.
"Cousin Ning's wedding candy tastes better than others." Meng Ze ate the wedding candy and said, "It's as sweet as Cousin Ning's."
Lu Xingzhi frowned.
Zong Si, who was not far away, also frowned.
