Chapter 228 The Prince Invites Ningning to the Palace?

The wolf raised by Shen Ningning broke the spirit of the Changliu beast in the arena.

This incident soon spread throughout the capital, and even the emperor heard about it.

He laughed and gave Shen Ningning countless rewards with a stroke of his pen.

"Princess Funing is the lucky star of our Cangyun country, don't you think so, Xie Aiqing?"

The emperor asked Xie Suzhi who was standing in the study while writing furiously.

Xie Suzhi's face was warm and cold, and he smiled slightly: "Ningning's blessing is all due to the emperor's blessing."

The emperor smiled and said nothing, finished writing the decree of reward, and asked someone to follow Xie Suzhi back to the mansion and convey it to Shen Ningning.

The emperor's attitude was like this, and Mo Lingwei directly protected Shen Ningning in the arena that day, which was known to everyone.

The wind direction of the National Academy changed directly.

Those who had been avoiding Shen Ningning wanted to curry favor with her again.

However, there were also those who disdain.

For example, the group of ladies who are close to Xie Yuanjiu.

After class, they have nothing to do and sit in the pavilion to feed the fish.

When talking about Shen Ningning, the most arrogant one is the granddaughter of the Taifu, Ye Shangyi.

"No matter how powerful she is, what can she prove? It will only prove that Shen Ningning is getting better and better because of the favor of the prince."

"If you have the ability, why bother about these." Ye Shangyi said.

She sat in the middle of the pavilion, and everyone surrounded her, even Xie Yuanjiu could only sit next to her.

Originally, this group of ladies was praising Xie Yuanjiu, even Ye Shangyi had to praising her.

Who let the Xie family have great merits and have involvement in civil and military officials?

However, now that the Xie family has an additional goddaughter, everyone naturally follows the wind, and Xie Yuanjiu is no longer their center.

Ye Shangyi has the highest family background, so everyone praising her.

Xie Yuanjiu said in a gentle voice, "Don't say that, it's different. How can the princess be incompetent?"

"Don't you know that it was she who brought a heavy rain throughout the Cangyun Kingdom, ending the drought that tormented us for many years? She is a lucky girl."

Ye Shangyi raised her eyebrows, with disdain in her eyes.

"So what if she is really a lucky girl? What if it's just a coincidence?"

"After all, there is no disaster now, who can prove that she is a lucky girl?"

"However, Fourth Miss Xie, you have been helping her speak, but she doesn't seem to have a good relationship with you. Usually when you two meet at the National Academy, you are just nodding acquaintances."

Xie Yuanjiu lowered his head and said in a nonchalant tone: "The princess is still young and not close to me. She prefers people from her uncle's side."

The ladies around him immediately showed a look of understanding.

They said with some disgust: "You are so good at pleasing at such a young age. It's really unfair to Fourth Sister Xie."

Just at this time, Shen Ningning and Lu Shaoyuan came from not far away with books.

Several ladies immediately fell silent.

Although they dared to say bad things about Shen Ningning, they only said a few words.

If the real owner stood in front of them, they would not dare to fart.

Lu Shaoyuan said to Shen Ningning: "After listening to you, I went back and told my mother."

"She thought you were right, and immediately swept away all the winter clothing in the capital and the three cities around the capital!"

"Guess what?"

Shen Ningning blinked: "What happened?"

Lu Shaoyuan laughed: "Because my mother bought out all the things, those merchants selling clothing were anxious."

"They had to buy them back from my mother at a price five taels higher for each item."

"So my mother made a net profit of 50,000 taels of silver after reselling them. She kept praising you to me, saying that you really have a business mind."

"She also said that the New Year is coming soon, and she plans to invite you, Grandma Qin, and the Black Wolf King to have a simple meal at my house."

Looking at Lu Shaoyuan's cheerful and sunny smile, Shen Ningning blinked silently.

"You... sold them all? Didn't you tell your mother that you were going to stockpile them?"

"I did, but my mother said that there was no need to stockpile so much. The drought didn't starve us to death, so we can't freeze to death just because it snows."

The little girl felt helpless.

She scratched her face: "Well, Lu Shaoyuan, I'm telling you seriously, this year's snowstorm may be very serious."

"You should find a chance to talk to Madam Meng and tell her to buy them instead of selling them and stockpile them."

Shen Ningning couldn't forget the deep pits and tens of thousands of people who were frozen to death in her dream.

She didn't believe it was just a dream.

Seeing her so serious, Lu Shaoyuan nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll tell her when I get back."

"What about you? Do you agree to have a meal at my house during the Chinese New Year?"

"Okay, I'll go if I'm free." Shen Ningning agreed happily.

It's almost the end of the year, and she has to give this year's dividend to Lu Shaoyuan.

The business of the shop was not good before. Although it has been better these days, it is still not satisfactory.

Shen Ningning simply gave the refugees in the shop a holiday, letting them rest until the end of the year before reopening properly.

December 5th.

Shen Ningning was picked up by Xie Suzhi after class at the National Academy and went back to Xie Mansion for dinner.

"Your second brother will not be able to come back before the New Year." Xie Suzhi smiled helplessly at her.

The little guy blinked, second brother, Xie Mingan?

"What's the matter? What happened to the second brother?"

"He came back from Qingzhou and passed through Shuzhou, but found that it had been snowing for three days. The blizzard blocked the waterway and the official road was not easy to travel, so I let him stay in Shuzhou for the New Year."

Shen Ningning's long eyelashes fluttered, she looked up and smiled at Xie Suzhi like a cheerful little sunflower.

"How pitiful my second brother is."

When someone is sad, someone else is happy.

Xie Mingxu was originally going to obey the order and return to the border.

After all, he returned to Beijing with a mission, and now that the mission has ended, there is no reason to stay.

But he couldn't bear to leave Shen Ningning. Unexpectedly, the heavy snow blocked the road to the capital, and the emperor allowed him to leave after the New Year.

Xie Mingxu wore a long blue collar and a white fur coat, standing at the door of Xie's house waiting for Shen Ningning to come home.

His handsome face saw the little guy being carried down the carriage by Xie Suzhi, and he immediately stepped forward.

"Father, sister." Xie Mingxu spoke, his voice was a little cold.

Shen Ningning held Xie Suzhi in her arms and asked softly, "Brother, why don't you go in? It's so cold outside."

Xie Mingxu smiled and said, "Brother is waiting for you."

He turned to look at Xie Suzhi and said, "Father, the imperial edict just came from the palace."

"Next spring, the Ninth Prince will go to the palace family school to study, and he needs a female official to accompany him."

"So, Concubine Rong will select female officials for the Ninth Prince in three days."

"Our Ningning is specially invited by the emperor, and we will enter the palace together in three days..."

Hearing this, Shen Ningning and Xie Suzhi's similar eyebrows wrinkled at the same time.

The father and daughter are exactly the same.

Xie Suzhi sank his eyes and said, "I heard about this, but the emperor didn't mention it in the court today."

Xie Mingxu lowered his voice and said, "I heard that it was requested by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Shen Ningning's little face was originally full of rejection, but when she heard this, she blinked her big black eyes.

"Then I have to go and take a look!" She agreed decisively.

Xie Suzhi was amused by her innocent look and scratched her little nose.

"Didn't you agree to accompany godfather to the other courtyard to appreciate plum blossoms in two days? Little guy, are you going to regret it now?"

Shen Ningning twisted her chubby little body embarrassedly.

"My brother should not be angry with me. I want to go and have a good talk with him."

The Xie family father and son also knew that Mo Lingwei was angry.

Xie Mingxu and Xie Suzhi looked at each other.

If Shen Ningning wanted to go, they would definitely not refuse.

But...

Xie Suzhi turned around and held the little guy, walked forward, and said with a smile: "Let godfather think about it carefully. Didn't Ningning say she was hungry? Let's go to eat first and then talk about this."

Unexpectedly, at the dinner table.

Mrs. Xie took the initiative to say: "Brother, if Ningning doesn't want to go to the ninth prince's selection of female officials to accompany her, let us let Yuanjiu go instead of her."

"Last time, Yuanjiu accidentally destroyed the scriptures copied by Concubine Rong. We have been looking for an opportunity to apologize! This is a good opportunity."
