Chapter 98: First Glimpse, Zong Sixin (1)
Wei first took Ningfu to see Princess Xuan.
Princess Xuan was receiving distinguished guests. Wei, along with Nyfu, paid her respects and then stood aside.
"This is Madam Yan from Hua'an Prefecture." Princess Xuan said to Wei.
Ningfu bowed again and looked at the woman in front of her. Although her appearance was not outstanding, she was very attractive, with a pair of crescent-shaped eyebrows and fair skin. Looking closely, Zhang He was somewhat similar to her.
I guess this must be Zhang He’s mother.
Princess Xuan and Madam Yan have known each other since childhood. In her previous life, Madam Yan had also come to Prince Xuan's Mansion several times, but Ning Fu had never met her. Although she had heard of her name for a long time, she did not know her.
The reason why Hua'an Prefecture and Prince Xuan's Prefecture are close is also because of the deep friendship between the two ladies, and Zhang Linsheng of Hua'an Prefecture is loyal to Prince Xuan.
"My sister often tells me about the fourth young lady. She is indeed a delicate person." Madam Yan said with a smile. However, she had noticed Ning Fu very early on. If Ning Zhen was not far away and her future in the Duke's Mansion was uncertain, she would like beautiful female monarchs.
"Sister Zhang has just arrived at the school, but she has already won first place in mathematics and arts. It is really admirable." Ning Fu said.
"He Jie'er was weak earlier, and her father was reluctant to let her go to school to suffer. But she also studied hard every day in the mansion, and she has not just started learning mathematics and arts." Mrs. Yan said.
Ningfu still thinks Zhang He is quite capable, as he has not produced any top-notch works in several years of studying mathematics.
Madam Yan then said to Princess Xuan: "Ah He and Ah Ning are actually very compatible. I didn't expect that they would play together as soon as Ah He arrived."
"It's similar to you and me." Princess Xuan's expression softened as she thought about the past.
It was winter, and when Wei saw that Prince Xuan's palace was still covered with flowers, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "It looks a bit like early spring now. The princess has taken good care of the palace."
"It's my husband who loves to play with these flowers and plants. I'm busy enough with the daily chores. I don't have the energy for that."
Princess Xuan said with a smile, but she glanced at Ninfu, because some time ago, Sanlang had looked for her in the middle of the night again, as if bad things would always happen to his son if he stayed with her, and he disliked her to the extreme.
Princess Xuan could also sense Wei's flattery. She had never liked people who flattered her, so she said a few perfunctory words and then left, saying that she still had guests to entertain.
Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Yan chatted for a while.
Ning Fu was held by Zhang He who came over. The latter blinked and said, "Sister Ning, come with me to walk around the garden. Sister Ning can't leave now." She was not very close to other people.
"Okay." Nymph smiled.
Zhang He is only fourteen years old now, the same age as Ah He, but half a head shorter than her. Ning Fu always treats the little girl as her younger sister and is very patient with her.
The two went to the small garden of Prince Xuan's mansion.
"The palace is much bigger and more magnificent than Hua'an Mansion. If one day I can live in a house like the palace," Zhang He said to Ning Fu.
Ning Fu saw the ambition in her eyes and her expression became a little complicated. In her previous life, she had already left the school at this time and did not know Zhang He. She also didn't know what happened to her in her previous life.
"Sister Ning, come and sit on the rockery with me." Zhang He pulled her and said.
Not far away, Princess Xuan and Madam Zong II were also watching Zhang He and Ning Fu, who slowly climbed up the rockery.
"The fourth young lady is quite good at taking care of people." Mrs. Zong Er said. She had thought of making Ning Fu her daughter-in-law, so she was naturally better at discovering her good points.
Princess Xuan remained silent.
"Princess Kangyang is Princess Kangyang, and the Fourth Miss is a little princess. Why do you put her together with Kangyang?" said Madam Zong Er.
"I know in my heart that I shouldn't do this, but deep down, I just don't like her." Princess Xuan said, "Ah He's personality is quite to my liking. She looks gentle, but she never gives in. She has a very high emotional intelligence. She can make me happy with just a few words."
"Are you interested?" asked Madam Zong Er.
"I do like her, but she is too young. It will take another two years for Sanlang to wait for her to reach the age of 15. Sanlang's marriage should not be delayed for that long." Princess Xuan said.
She had never worried about this before. What could her own son not be worthy of? She was the only one who had to choose others. However, since two marriage proposals had already failed, Princess Xuan was still a little anxious.
Even the requirements are not as high as before.
"I don't know what Sanlang is dragging his feet on. I am annoyed whenever I see him because of this." Princess Xuan said.
Madam Zong Er smiled and said, "If you keep delaying, it means you have a plan in mind."
Princess Xuan sighed and said, "I hope so."
When Zong Si walked to the garden, his eyes turned to where Ning Fu and Zhang He were. The two were standing on the top of the rockery looking down. Zhang He seemed excited, but there was a hint of fear in Miss Ning's eyes.
Nymph was naturally afraid. How could she not be afraid if she died here?
"Sister Ning, look, that's the Crown Prince's Jinghua Residence." Zhang He said, "This place is quite quiet, and you can see thousands of flowers blooming when you look out. It must be very beautiful."
Ning Fu didn't care. Currently, Zong Si's Jinghua Residence didn't have a hostess yet. She was cold and not pretty at all.
"Sister Ning, have you ever thought about who you will marry in the future?" Zhang He asked her in a low voice.
Lu Xingzhi's face flashed through Ning Fu's mind. As far as living together was concerned, there was no one more suitable than him. Unfortunately...
"No." She smiled and withdrew her thoughts.
The two men came down from the rockery and bumped into Zong Duo who was passing by. It was difficult to avoid him, so they saluted and said, "Second Young Master."
Zongduo looked at Ning Fu and said, "I wanted to follow them to look for the fourth young lady that day, but the ladies and gentlemen asked me to take them back to the mansion. Is the fourth young lady injured?"
He is still a little worried!
In any case, her dream helped her escape a disaster in the North, so she was indebted to him!
"Thank you for your concern, Second Young Master. Although I fell off a fault that day, the soil layer is thick, so it's not a big deal." Ning Fu said.
Zongduo couldn't help but want to say a few words of concern, but he couldn't speak and was afraid of overstepping the line, so he stood there without moving for a while.
Standing like that, like a piece of wood, made Zhang He laugh out loud.
Zongduo felt a little embarrassed and glanced at Zhang He.
What are you laughing at?
What's so funny!
He didn't like the young lady of Hua'an Mansion in the first place, and he likes her even less now.
"Second Young Master, are you going to look for Sister Ning? Then let's go together." Zhang He said.
It was difficult for Nymph to refuse.
The three of them walked on their way to the main banquet.
"I asked someone to keep the bamboo raft that the Fourth Miss used that day. If you want to keep it as a souvenir, I will have someone send it back to the Ningguo Mansion for you." Zongduo said.
"Thank you very much, Second Young Master." Nymph said.
The three of them had not walked far when they saw Zong Si coming towards them.
"Brother Prince!" Zhang He said with shining eyes.
"May the prince be safe and sound." Ning Fu said.
"Go to the main hall?" Zong Si glanced at Ning Fu and asked casually.
Zhang He said, "That's right, would you like to come with me, brother?"
Zong Si seemed to be in deep thought for a moment, then said calmly, "Let's go together."
Zongduo looked at him and felt that something was wrong!
