Chapter 226 It’s Good Enough
Emperor Jiaping also wanted to rest, so he dismissed everyone after deciding on a solution. Crown Prince Xiao Nanyu didn't even glance at Shen Nian and strode out from beside her.
"Tsk, even though this prince is not entirely satisfied, but now that things have come to this, I'll just have to accept it reluctantly."
Mu Huali looked down at Shen Nian with a smile: "When you marry into the Yuan Dynasty with a generous dowry, as long as you are obedient, this prince will love you."
Shen Nian bit her lip and looked at him straight, unable to say a word.
Soon, everyone dispersed.
Shen Nian got up in a daze and walked outside, moving forward like a wandering soul. The next moment, she suddenly ran towards the prince's residence like a madman.
But when she ran to the outside of the palace, she found that the palace gate was closed.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please save me, Your Highness..."
The imperial edict has not been issued yet. If we wait until tomorrow morning to issue it, there will be no room for maneuver.
Shen Nian cried and screamed like crazy, however, the palace gate was closed tightly and motionless, there was no sound inside, and no one paid any attention to her.
Shen Nian clapped her hands and cried for a long time. After realizing that Xiao Nanyu really didn't care about her anymore, she turned around and ran towards the Queen's residence again.
Unexpectedly, the queen actually met her and was very kind to her.
"I really like you, but today's matter is truly difficult to resolve. Your Majesty has spoken with all his might. I'm afraid there's no turning back on the marriage."
Empress Wei spoke earnestly, "The Yuan army is strong, and you are a princess married into a foreign alliance. I don't think they would dare to treat you harshly. Don't be too pessimistic."
Shen Nian kowtowed while crying: "Please have mercy, Madam..."
After a while, Empress Wei sighed deeply and said, "There's nothing I can do right now, but I can promise you that if I get a chance, I will definitely help you plan."
Shen Nian didn't believe this at all, but it was not easy for the Queen to be willing to speak to her in a nice tone.
After a moment, the queen held her forehead and waved her hand, ordering her personal palace maid to send Shen Nian out.
The palace maid was also very gentle: "Miss Shen, don't be too panic. Since our queen promised to find a solution for you, she will not lie to you. Just wait patiently."
Shen Nian forced a smile, her expression bleak: "Thank you, Queen."
Late at night, Chen Nian finally returned to her residence. Her makeup was already smudged, her clothes were messy, and she looked disheveled.
When she returned to her residence, she saw Xu Wanqing in the bedroom next door leaning against the window, looking at her with a smile on her face.
It was obvious that they had just conspired to plot against Chen Ning and were like allies, but at this moment, the two of them looked at each other quietly, and saw the hidden coldness in each other's eyes.
"Sister Wanqing is very happy now, right?"
Shen Nian looked at Xu Wanqing quietly, his tone gloomy.
Xu Wanqing sneered, "Why, shouldn't I be happy? Am I still looking forward to you marrying into the Eastern Palace with me to disgust me?"
Chen Nian was going to marry into the Yuan Dynasty, and there was no possibility for them to form an alliance in the future. The two of them tore their faces apart without any warning.
Although Shen Nian looked disheveled, her aura was not at all weak. She didn't care at all when Xu Wanqing teased her, and instead retorted, "Disgusting? Even if I don't enter the East Palace, wouldn't you be disgusted, Sister Wanqing?"
She curled her lips and smiled meaningfully, "You like the handsome and heroic Prince Ding, who has made great military achievements, but he would rather marry a widow than even look at you. And you want to marry that good-for-nothing Xiao Nanyu who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. Sister Wanqing...how can you be any better than me?"
Xu Wanqing's face instantly turned ashen when her thoughts were suddenly exposed. She sneered, "A concubine is a concubine, a worthless, shabby thing. No matter how bad I am, I still have the Xu family, my father, my grandfather, and my aunt to support me. As for you... just wait to marry that barbarian and work like a slave."
After saying that, Xu Wanqing slammed the window shut.
The momentum that Shen Nian had just forced herself to maintain collapsed in an instant. She raised her hand to hold onto the door and walked into the room. She closed the door with her backhand and slid down to the ground...
After a sleepless night, the next morning, Shen Nian, who was in a daze, was suddenly awakened by a shrill scream.
She stood up suddenly, but almost fell to the ground because of the stiffness in her legs. She barely managed to walk over and open the door. The palace maid who was about to bring her water for washing her face also stood frozen at the door, staring at the next door in amazement.
Shen Nian followed the palace maid's gaze and saw Xu Wanqing, dressed in pajamas, running out of the palace like crazy, holding her head and screaming miserably.
Xu Wanqing, who had black hair when she was arguing with Shen Nian last night, now has no hair on her head...only a white and round scalp.
Overnight, all her beautiful hair disappeared!
When Xu Wanqing saw herself in the mirror, she thought she was dreaming. She screamed and rushed to the yard, trying to wake up from this terrible dream. However, what she saw were the stunned and terrified looks of the people around her.
The next moment, her eyes rolled back and she fainted...
Just after breakfast, Shen Ning received two messages.
One is that Chen Nian was named Princess Yuhe and was granted marriage to the Yuan Dynasty. The second is the future Crown Princess, Miss Xu Wanqing of the Xu family, who was beheaded by ghosts. When she woke up from a sleep, her head turned into a boiled egg and she fainted.
"It's said that the imperial physician acupunctured her and woke her up. Her first words were for a mirror, and then... she fainted again."
Shen Ning listened with great interest as Qiyue vividly described to her what she had heard from outside about Shen Nian and Xu Wanqing.
In fact, she knew without thinking that Xiao Nanchen must be venting her anger.
There is no need to talk about Chen Nian. As for Xu Wanqing, she is the granddaughter of the important court official Xu Ge Lao and the future Crown Princess. Her family background is not as deep as Chen Nian's, so it is impossible for her to be married.
But overnight, her black hair that she had worn for more than ten years turned into bald, boiled eggs, and it would take several years for her hair to grow back... This would be a fatal blow to any woman, let alone Xu Wanqing, a noble lady who was about to marry into the Eastern Palace.
It goes without saying that she will get married with a buzz cut.
Shen Ning was so happy that she wanted to laugh. At this moment, the Queen Mother, who had been silent all the time, glanced at her and said slowly: "Did the Seventh Old Man do it?"
Shen Ning blinked, her eyes full of clear stupidity: "What are you talking about, Queen Mother? I don't understand."
"Oh."
The Queen Mother's face was filled with disdain: "These methods are too insidious, not at all upright."
Chen Ning smiled: "Openness is used against open-minded people. As for those treacherous and sinister villains, they have to use such insidious means to vent their anger."
The Queen Mother chuckled: "I'm afraid that whatever the Seventh Prince does is good in your eyes."
The corners of Shen Ning's lips curled up: "His Royal Highness Prince Ding is very good..."
The moment Xiao Nanchen walked in from outside, he heard Shen Ning's words.
The palace servant who was leading the way also heard it and subconsciously glanced at His Royal Highness Prince Ding. Then he saw that His Royal Highness Prince Ding, who usually had a cold demeanor, had his lips slightly raised, and he could not hide his smile.
"Grandma, your grandson pays his respects to you."
Xiao Nanchen walked in and paid his respects to the Queen Mother respectfully, as if he was not the one who threatened to wipe out the Zhou family in front of the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Zhou sneered: "I don't deserve it."
Shen Ning: ...
Not daring to let the grandfather and grandson fight again, Shen Ning quickly stood up: "Your Highness is looking for me for something important, Queen Mother, please rest first, I will take His Highness Prince Ding out to talk."
Queen Mother Zhou couldn't bear to watch. She felt that the whole palace was beginning to smell sour. She waved her hands in disgust and said, "Go away! Get out of here!"
"Okay."
Shen Ning pulled Xiao Nanchen and turned outside to the garden pavilion.
There was no one around, and she finally couldn't help laughing: "Shaving Xu Wanqing bald, how did you come up with this idea..."
What a talent!
Seeing Shen Ning's overwhelming joy, Xiao Nanchen also smiled.
Without answering Shen Ning's words, he asked her: "You just said to the Royal Grandmother...you think I'm very good?"
His Royal Highness Prince Ding was like a young man who was praised by his beloved. He seemed calm, but he could not hide the slightest joy and pride.
Shen Ning smiled: "You are very good."
He planned everything for her and protected her every time. When she was framed, he would vent her anger and take revenge on her. How could you say anything bad about such a person?
Seeing Chen Ning's eyes curved with laughter, Xiao Nanchen couldn't help but want to move closer. As he got closer, he whispered, "How good is it?"
But his eyes were fixed on Chen Ning's lips without blinking.
How could Shen Ning not see it? The corners of her lips curled up: "It's... just that good."
She stepped forward on tiptoe and kissed Xiao Nanchen on the lips with a "chi" sound... She was about to drop her center of gravity back, but her falling waist was held down by someone.
His Royal Highness Prince Ding's Adam's apple moved, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Not good enough..."
Shen Ning blinked, and saw the face in front of her magnified. Warm, slightly dry lips pressed against her lips, rolling and pressing, and then unbearably prying open her teeth...
After a long while, His Royal Highness Prince Ding finally stopped and said with an unsteady breath, "It has to be this good."
Shen Ning was also kissed so hard that her breath became unstable.
There was no one around, and vines swayed around the pavilion. She reached out and hooked her arm around Xiao Nanchen's neck, looking up with a wicked smile: "I have something even better. Your Highness Prince Ding, would you like to try it?"
Xiao Nanchen was so enticed by her deliberate words "Your Highness Prince Ding" and her wicked smile that his Adam's apple rolled and he said in a low, hoarse voice, "I want..."
