Chapter 23 Change of opinion
Without waiting for Zong Si to answer, Ning Fu frowned and said, "My private affairs will be taken care of by the Duke's Mansion and my mother. No matter how ignorant I am, it is my own business."
Although these words were gentle, the irony in them was extremely obvious.
For the sake of the Duke's Mansion, Ning Fu was willing to be more tolerant and be a kind and amiable queen on weekdays, but she would not accept Zong Si's hand, which was too long.
Zong Si looked at her. Her face was still kind, without any change. However, her red ears showed some emotion. She must be angry at the moment.
His expression did not change, and his voice was as indifferent as before, saying: "I just want to remind you that the Sixth Prince is too experienced in matters concerning women, and is not a good choice."
Nymph said nothing.
"My aunt has already picked out concubines for Meng Ze." Zong Si said calmly, "Besides, he has never been shy about women. If he likes you now, he will have someone new sooner or later."
"Since the prince has good intentions, you might as well speak to him in a nice way," said Ning Fu.
"As soon as you came up, you put me in the position of the bad guy." Zong Si said.
Ning Fu paused, thinking back to what he had just said. He had indeed just told her that she could not get any benefit from Meng Ze, and she was speechless for a moment.
Perhaps it was because he had left a bad impression on her in both her previous life and this life, which led her to have a preconceived notion that he had malicious intentions.
This is also due to his lack of virtue in his previous life.
"I'm going to the north soon." Zong Si handed the heater in his hand to her.
Ning Fu thought for a moment, reached out to take it, and sat down beside him: "The Crown Prince delayed the thorough investigation of Elder Song, using his injury as an excuse. Logically, he should still rest and go to the North after the New Year. How did the Sixth Prince explain that?"
The carriage was small and the distance between the two people was not far.
Zong Si glanced sideways and could see the small and delicate bun in her hair, swaying gently with her movements.
The fourth young lady had excellent manners. Even when she made the biggest movements, the tassels of her hairpin would never fly around, losing her elegance.
Zong Si said: "The Hu people have been gathering their strength for half a year. Now they are eyeing us covetously. The situation is urgent. Even if we lose a leg, no one will suspect anything if we rush over now."
"It will take time to resolve the issues in the north. More importantly, it will just be able to delay the matter of Elder Song until half a year later." Ning Fu also guessed his plan, and couldn't help but sigh that he had arranged these things just right.
Meng Ze was reluctant to say much during the days before he was dragged to the northland on the pretext of injury, and after he went to the northland, it was even harder for him to say anything. As for the matter of Song Gelao, it was arranged after he returned from the northland, which was even more important. At this time, the Xuanwang Mansion had made another military achievement, and Emperor Jingwen could not be biased in the matter of Song Gelao.
Zong Si thought so carefully that he not only cleared the obstacles but also calculated the timing just right. No wonder Lord Song ended up like that in the previous life.
"I don't know why the prince is looking for me today." Ning Fu asked.
"If there is any news about Doctor Mu, Miss Four can write a letter and send it to Qingtian Pavilion." Zong Si took out an ink stick, "This is invisible ink. When the writing dries, it will disappear on the paper. You will need to use a potion to make it visible."
This is because there is a risk of the information being leaked.
"I will act with caution. Your Highness, please be careful of the Hu people in the north. Swords are ruthless on the battlefield." She said, but she knew in her heart that he would not be in danger. "After all, being injured will hurt, and it will affect your life."
Zong Si thought of the picture book about sexual intercourse that Ning Fu had given him, and said slowly, "Where is the injury affecting your life? For example, is your waist or abdomen injured?"
"An injury to the waist and abdomen will naturally affect his life, and the impact is not small." Ning Fu thought that as a man leading troops to war, he would probably have inconveniences in riding and shooting with an injured waist. Even thinking about it, she felt a little regretful.
Zong Si, however, gave an ambiguous smile, and said indifferently, "Thank you for your concern, Fourth Miss."
Nymph was a little confused.
"I'm leaving first." She put away the ink stick.
Zong Si saw her lift the curtain and take a look first, and then got off the carriage after confirming that no one was passing by outside.
Leave in a hurry.
The fourth girl's identity is very suspicious.
Zong Si recalled those two beautiful dreams.
Because of these two dreams, Zong Si treated Ningfu a little differently than before.
At least when he was meeting with other ministers at Yixiang Tower amid the extravagant and gorgeous singing and dancing, the first woman that Zong Si thought of would be Nymph.
But that was not something he should appreciate. He had to forget those two dreams as soon as possible.
For Yu Zongsi, a woman like Xie Ruyi, who has a top family background, is calm and tolerant, and has good talents and knowledge, is the right candidate for his mistress.
"Fourth Miss."
Ning Fu was about to leave with the palace maid outside the carriage when she heard Zong Si calling her.
She turned around, and in the night, his figure was looming, with only his tall and straight outline.
"Happy New Year." Zong Si said lightly.
Ning Fu was stunned for a moment. In her previous life, Zong Si rarely exchanged letters with her, but every New Year, he would write her a letter with these four words in it.
Now things are different and people are different. Ning Fu sighed secretly in her heart and said immediately: "The prince is the same."
…
On the way back to the palace, Zong Duo glanced at Zong Ning for a few times and suddenly asked, "Why don't you wear a hairpin?"
Zong Si looked over.
"What did Second Brother say about the Lady's headdress today?" Zong Ning was a little surprised.
Zongduo was stunned himself, and said it subconsciously. Now he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and made an excuse dryly: "I just asked, and my cousin Jingwen looked good in it."
Zong Ning was puzzled and asked, "But cousin Jingwen didn't wear a flower hairpin either. She wore a jade hairpin. Who do you think looks better wearing it, second brother?"
Zongduo, who was exposed: "..."
Why isn’t Jingwen wearing a hairpin today?
Zong Ning recalled for a moment. In addition to the ladies, those who wore flower hairpins today included Sister Xie who wore a sunken flower hairpin and Sister Ning who wore an orchid hairpin.
"Sister Ning is wearing a hairpin with flowers."
Zongduo: “…………!”
