The Queen thought of Ni Yueshuang, her eyes darkened: "She is pregnant with the dragon heir!"
After leaving the Queen's place, Jing Yuchen took a carriage back to the Prince's Mansion. On the way, he heard someone selling date cakes, and Jing Yuchen immediately stopped them.
Afterwards, the carriage arrived outside the prime minister's residence. Jing Yuchen hesitated for just a moment, but finally chose to climb over the wall to go in.
Inside the Jidong Pavilion, Ni Yueshan was still looking at the jewelry sketches. Ren Mei explained, "These phoenix crowns were all painted by Miss Yu herself. If you like any of them, please choose one and I'll give it to Miss Yu to have made!"
Ni Yueshan took a quick glance and saw that they were all bright red phoenix crowns, but each one was very beautiful. Ni Yueshan began to suffer from decision-making difficulties.
She rested her chin on her hand, scanned them one by one, and then pointed at one: "This one looks good, but it seems too heavy."
Ni Yueshan sighed, then pointed to another one: "Although I prefer a simpler one, but for a wedding, the phoenix crown should naturally be more grand..."
She sighed, "Please point one out for me. I won't choose one myself."
Then he stretched out a finger and pointed at one of them: "This one is good, simple, and shouldn't be heavy, so as not to sore your neck!"
Ni Yueshan looked up when she heard the voice and saw that it was Jing Yuchen.
He held something wrapped in oil paper in his hand, his eyes fixed seriously on the drawing, his face full of smiles.
Ni Yueshan immediately stood up: "Why is the Second Prince here?"
"I came out of the palace and stopped by to take a look."
Ni Yueshan didn't believe it. The Prime Minister's Residence wasn't on the way...
"Is it for me?" Ni Yueshan took a look at the oil paper in his hand and knew what it was by smelling the scent.
"For Ren Mei..."
He stretched out his hand and handed it to Ren Mei.
Ren Mei immediately waved her hands: "No, I don't want it!"
How could she dare to snatch things from Ni Yueshan!
She lowered her head and walked out quickly: "I will go to the door."
Ni Yueshan rolled her eyes at Jing Yuchen and said, "Stop making fun of her here."
Ni Yueshan reached out without any hesitation, took out a piece and took a bite.
Then she asked curiously, "How is Zou Yangyao doing now that you have entered the palace? And does your father believe that the eldest princess committed the crime?"
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. After all, he can't be convicted. Zou Yangyao was demoted two levels, but he honestly helped me testify. He seems to have really changed!"
Ni Yueshan continued to eat the cake in her hand. "Even if he is not so selfish and sinister now, the fact that he is our enemy cannot be changed."
Ni Yueshan had no intention of forgiving Zou Yangyao at all.
"Let's not talk about him anymore. How about we get married after the Spring Festival?"
Ni Yueshan paused chewing and swallowed the date cake in her mouth: "I don't care, you decide!"
"Since you don't seem very happy, why not postpone it for a month? That way my skin can get a little whiter."
He looked at his wrist, and not only his face, but his whole body darkened.
Ni Yueshan sat down beside him and snorted, "No problem, but a month is not enough to make her white. I think we should postpone it for half a year!"
Jing Yuchen was stunned. Ni Yueshan really didn't take the bait...
"Goodbye, the date agreed by the Queen Mother cannot be changed. It is after the Spring Festival!"
Ni Yueshan pretended to be reluctant and said, "Okay!"
After Jing Yuchen left, Ni Yueshan ate the date cake as dinner and then drank a few sips of hot water.
Looking at the fireplace in the room, Ni Yueshan instructed Ren Mei beside him, "Tell the housekeeper to bring some more charcoal to Uncle He. He's old, don't let him get frozen."
"Yes, I've made note of it."
The next day.
Ni Yueshan went to see the store. Because it was winter, there were very few pedestrians on the street, and the store was a bit deserted.
Inside, the temperature was very well controlled and there was no sense of coldness. Many beggars huddled near the door, trying to get some warmth.
Ni Yueshan walked in and saw Yu Fei trying a hairpin on a woman. She was not satisfied and muttered to herself, "Should I make this design simpler?"
"Sister Yu!" Ni Yueshan called out. The figure in the dark red dress was stunned for a moment, then turned around.
"You woman are finally back!"
Ni Yueshan stepped forward with a smile: "Do you miss me?"
"Of course I do. Come here quickly. I have several phoenix crowns here for you to try on."
Ni Yueshan let her enthusiastically pull her to try on the phoenix crown.
"When our store first opened, the weather was quite warm and we closed a lot of business. But these past few days, it's been too cold and there's hardly anyone here all day."
She opened the cabinet, and inside were three phoenix crowns neatly placed.
Yu Fei looked at them with hope in her eyes: "Choose whichever one you think is good-looking."
"Well... I brought the blueprints."
Qingdie unfolded the drawings, and Ni Yueshan pointed to the simplest one: "This is it."
Yu Fei frowned, "Isn't it too simple? It's okay for you to be simple at other times, but your wedding day is such an important day. Even if you are a little tired, you will feel happy in your heart and look beautiful..."
She was still talking, looking at Ni Yueshan in surprise: "Why do I feel that you look like..."
She stared at Ni Yueshan blankly: "Why do your burns seem to have faded a lot?"
"No, it's because your skin is darker, isn't it?"
Ni Yueshan looked at Yu Fei helplessly: "It's me, I applied the medicine."
"Hey, how come you've come to your senses and now know how to treat burns? It seems like you like the Second Prince more than just a little bit."
She clicked her tongue twice, then closed the cabinet. "Okay, I'll get it out for you! I promise to get it out before the wedding!"
Ni Yueshan looked at her and said, "Thank you!"
When Ni Yueshan was about to leave, he saw Shao Lecheng walking in with two jugs of wine.
When he saw Ni Yueshan, he quickly looked her over and then scolded her angrily: "You little girl, you came back, but instead of going to the private school to see me first, you came here to see her? I'm angry!"
Ni Yueshan responded with a smile: "Then you can be angry."
Shao Lecheng: “…”
Yu Fei walked forward, took the wine from Shao Lecheng's hand, and looked at Ni Yueshan beside her: "It's winter now, do you want to stay and drink to warm yourself up?"
Ni Yueshan shook his head: "You guys drink, I'll do it next time!"
Shao Lecheng looked at Ni Yueshan and pointed at her: "You don't give me face."
"I have something else to do."
Yu Fei was understanding: "If you have something to do, go back first. We can meet again another day."
Shao Lecheng looked disappointed, "Okay."
After Ni Yueshan left, Qingdie asked curiously in the carriage, "What does the master want to deal with?"
The Prime Minister's Mansion has always been peaceful and there is nothing that needs to be dealt with.
Ni Yueshan said solemnly, "Didn't you notice that someone in the Prime Minister's Residence had cleaned the Zhuzhi Pavilion?"
Qingdie was surprised: "Ni Yueshuang is coming back?"
"Probably. We'll know when we go back and take a look!"
Although the chances of her returning as a concubine are slim...
