Chapter 153 The Air is Sticky
Xiao Nanchen said it was okay, and Shen Ning immediately put her heart at ease. At this time, Xiao Nanchen saw what was in Shen Ning's hand and was a little curious: "What is this?"
Shen Ning smiled and said, "I asked His Majesty for the calligraphy."
After listening to Chen Ning's explanation of the cause and effect of this calligraphy, Xiao Nanchen was somewhat amused and said, "You saved Ma Cairen and Seventeenth Brother's lives, and you asked Father for a calligraphy?"
Chen Ning explained: "I don't know the depth of it either. I'm not afraid of causing trouble. Then I thought, I want to do business in the capital. Having your Majesty's handwriting as a treasure of the store can also save a lot of trouble... Why, is it not good?"
Xiao Nanchen laughed: "It seems that there is nothing wrong."
Actually, thinking about it, this is also good. Chen Ning got what he wanted and needed. And needless to say, he knew that his father would be very happy when Chen Ning asked for his calligraphy. However...
Xiao Nanchen asked hesitantly, "Father's handwriting isn't as good as a great calligrapher after all. If you want it, I'll ask Elder Xu for a copy for you."
Shen Ning was a little surprised: "Ah? Really? Why do I think your majesty's handwriting is quite beautiful...quite gorgeous."
Knowing that Shen Ning didn't understand calligraphy, Xiao Nanchen smiled and asked again: "Did you say the same thing in front of the emperor?"
Shen Ning nodded: "I really think it's beautiful and I like it very much. What's wrong?"
Xiao Nanchen chuckled and shook his head: "No, very good."
"Come on, I'll take you out."
Xiao Nanchen accompanied Chen Ning to the palace gate, then took out a piece of paper and handed it to her: "This is the date your father went to see that concubine. You asked for it last time."
Shen Ning took it: "Thank you, Anan."
"Why would you thank me?"
Xiao Nanchen spoke in a low voice, and when he saw the carriage outside the palace gate not far ahead, he felt a little reluctant.
When they arrived in Beijing, although the distance was not far, his identity was too eye-catching, and it was very difficult for him to see her. They had just met, and now they had to separate again.
Looking at His Royal Highness Prince Ding with drooping eyelashes, Shen Ning asked for some unknown reason: "How is Ah Diao these days?"
A Diao was the name she gave to the golden eagle.
Xiao Nanchen raised his eyes: "Is that all you're asking?"
Shen Ning inexplicably felt that His Royal Highness Prince Ding's eyes were somewhat resentful, even aggrieved, and hurriedly asked: "Where is Anan?"
"You only asked after I told you." Xiao Nanchen turned his face away.
Shen Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Yes, yes, it's my fault. I should have asked you first. It's just that when we met just now, I saw your high-spirited and handsome appearance and knew that you must be very good, so I didn't ask you deliberately."
Handsome and stunning?
Xiao Nanchen's lips curled up slightly, and he hummed softly, "I feel much more comfortable after returning to the capital than in the army. It's just that I can't see you all the time, so I'm a little uncomfortable."
Chen Ning thought about it, and suddenly an idea came to her mind: "Qingbai is in Yongxingfang, and I also want to go there from time to time. Why don't we set a date and go there together in the future?"
Xiao Nanchen's eyes suddenly lit up: "How about meeting every three days?"
Shen Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Qingbai has to study at the Imperial College, it's impossible for him to go home once every three days."
His Royal Highness Prince Ding gritted his teeth, regretting his impulsiveness. He then coughed softly, "I was just saying it casually... whatever date you choose will be the date."
Shen Ning thought for a moment and said, "Why not get together every ten days? It won't be too long or too often."
I can only see you once every ten days...
His Royal Highness Prince Ding felt somewhat unwilling, but he also knew that doing it too frequently was not an option, so he nodded, "Okay, ten days is ten days."
He said, "Let's meet on the 15th next time. I want to eat the plum stewed pork ribs you made."
Shen Ning laughed: "Okay, then see you on the 15th, and I'll make it for you then... I told you that you like sweets, but you didn't admit it."
The burden is very heavy.
Xiao Nanchen looked away: "I like a lot more..."
Shen Ning didn't hear clearly: "What?"
"nothing."
Xiao Nanchen walked to the carriage first, extended his hand to help her get in, and said softly, "The rewards from the palace have been prepared and will be sent to the Shen family soon."
His Royal Highness Prince Ding couldn't help showing off a bit: "I selected it for you. Pick out the heavy gold, silver and jade items."
Shen Ning was so happy that she couldn't help but pat him on the head while standing high up: "Not bad, not bad, Anan is the one who knows me well."
Xiao Nanchen grabbed the hand that was about to pat him. His Royal Highness Prince Ding raised his eyes, half doting and half threatening: "Don't be so presumptuous."
Shen Ning clicked his tongue: "Look, His Royal Highness Prince Ding's style immediately came out."
Xiao Nanchen had no way to deal with her. He was reluctant to let her go, but he knew he couldn't stay too long. In the end, he could only step back and let her go, telling Eryue: "Protect your master."
Er Yue bowed: "Yes."
The curtains were lowered, and Qiyue whispered to Shen Ning, "Miss, why did it feel to me just now that you and His Royal Highness Prince Ding were standing together... like they were sticking together?"
Shen Ning raised her eyes: "What's sticky."
Little girl July couldn't explain it clearly. She blinked and said, "It's like... all the honey has melted and stuck to you."
Shen Ning hated stickiness the most. Hearing this, he rubbed his sleeves and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and put this calligraphy away. Don't lose it."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue carefully opened it and took a look, a little suspicious: "Where did you get this calligraphy from, Miss? I don't think the handwriting is very good."
Shen Ning reminded her: "Don't talk nonsense, this is written by the emperor himself."
Qiyue immediately changed her words: "I'm not good at calligraphy, so I couldn't tell good from bad. But now that I look at it again, I think the handwriting is so beautiful, so graceful..."
Shen Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Alright, don't ask for more, your lady won't report you either. Keep this calligraphy. When our shop is settled in a few days, frame it and hang it in the shop as a treasure."
Qiyue responded crisply, "Yes."
The carriage drove along the prosperous long street and arrived at the Shen family mansion in Shunchengfang in less than half an hour. They entered the yard directly from the side door. Eryue went to park the carriage, and Shen Ning and July walked towards Lianchi Garden.
It was noon, and the spring sun was very scorching. There was no one in the yard. Chen Ning and Qiyue walked under the shade of the tree, but at this moment, Qiyue blocked Chen Ning and said, "Miss, there is someone."
The next moment, a scream was heard.
A person was thrown to the ground from the other side of the flower bush with a bang. Qiyue was already standing firmly in front of Shen Ning... Seeing a figure disappear in a flash on the other side of the flower bush, she did not chase after it.
Because she knew May had gone, her mission was to protect the young lady.
Shen Ning stood behind Qi Yue and looked at the person on the ground. She recognized her at a glance. It was Xue, the wet nurse of Shen Nian, who had been taught a lesson by her before.
At this moment, Xue was lying quietly on the ground without moving, obviously unconscious.
At this moment, a maid holding a tray passed by and saw Shen Ning and her servant and Xue lying on the ground. The maid was stunned at first, and then she screamed: "Ah... someone come quickly..."
