Chapter 238 Imperial Guard Captain, Pei Yin
Shen Ningning hurriedly looked back and saw Qi Xiuwei with a smile.
"Xiaowei, it turns out to be you." The little guy was a little disappointed.
Qi Xiuwei blinked: "Eh? Why are you looking like this? Are you waiting for someone else?"
Shen Ningning drooped her little head: "Yes, I'm waiting for the prince brother."
Qi Xiuwei sat next to her, and the two little girls looked up at the cold night sky.
"That's right. At this time, the prince has already sent someone to pick you up. If you haven't come so late, I don't think you will come today!"
"Ning Ning, don't wait any longer. It's so cold. Why don't you go back and rest?" Qi Xiuwei said.
Shen Ningning also felt that she probably couldn't wait any longer today.
She can only find another chance to see her brother.
The little guy nodded silently, and suddenly remembered to ask: "Xiaowei, why aren't you sleeping?"
A layer of pink suddenly appeared on Qi Xiuwei's quiet and delicate face: "I, I am also waiting for someone..."
Shen Ningning blinked her eyes in confusion, so the little guy decided to stay with her for a while.
Suddenly, Qi Xiuwei tugged on her sleeve and pointed outside Shuixie Huawu: "Look, they are coming!"
Shen Ningning quickly looked over and saw a group of strict guards walking over with lanterns outside the long bridge.
The little guy was confused: "What are the Forbidden Army doing?"
Qi Xiuwei pointed at the leader: "Do you recognize him? Pei Yin, the only young man in the Imperial Guard who has just turned fifteen."
"He was an orphan since he was a child. He was picked up and taken care of by the city commander, who taught him martial arts. Later, he participated in martial arts examinations. Because of his excellence, he became a member of the Imperial Army. Now he is a captain of the small team."
Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes in confusion.
She didn't know this Pei Yin, but Qi Xiuwei was here blowing the cold wind and waiting here for a long time just to see him?
Then they must be good friends!
The little guy thought like this, suddenly stood up and waved his arms towards the other side of the long bridge.
She raised her voice and called: "Captain Pei! Look here, Xiaowei is looking at you!"
Qi Xiuwei's hair was so shy that she burst into tears.
She hurriedly covered Shen Ningning's mouth: "Shh, shh! Don't call him, he doesn't know me!"
"Uh-huh!" The little guy's face bulged as he was covered.
However, the group of forbidden troops on the opposite side suddenly stopped.
From a long distance, Shen Ningning couldn't see clearly the appearance of the leader.
But I felt that he was upright and thin, and the lantern in his hand was swaying gently in the wind.
Qi Xiuwei saw Pei Yin looking at them for a moment. After confirming that there was no danger, he bowed his hands and led the others away.
Only then did Shen Ningning break free from Qi Xiuwei's shackles.
Her little face turned red and her eyes were dark and lively: "Xiaowei, what are you hiding from? Aren't you waiting for him?"
Qi Xiuwei covered her face with her hands, looking extremely shy.
"Oh, he doesn't know me. If he knew, it would be embarrassing for me to sit here every night and wait for him to pass by."
She whispered a lot more.
Only then did Shen Ningning realize that Qi Xiuwei entered the palace to select female officials in order to stay in the palace.
There will be more opportunities to contact Pei Yin.
The two of them met at the palace banquet last year. According to Qi Xiuwei herself, she saw the tall and upright young man in the crowd at a glance.
Among so many forbidden soldiers, he is the only one with a handsome appearance, wearing a brown robe and carrying a sword. He is so handsome!
Seeing the love in Qi Xiuwei's eyes as she spoke, Shen Ningning raised her little head and looked at it in confusion.
She is still too young, of course, she doesn't understand what liking means.
Even though Qi Xiuwei is only seven or eight years old, she seems to have been enlightened about feelings a long time ago.
Shen Ningning said: "If you want to be friends with him, you should take the initiative to talk to him."
Qi Xiuwei said: "Don't worry, relationships can only develop if you are close to the water."
Shen Ningning became even more puzzled.
What's the meaning? Live in a place called near water?
Seeing her chubby face full of confusion, Qi Xiuwei snickered: "Okay, I'm very satisfied tonight, thank you Ning Ning."
When Pei Yin passed by before, he didn't even look here.
Saying that, Qi Xiuwei urged her to rest: "It's getting late, we all have to go to bed early."
"Let me tell you a secret, my aunt may even summon us to visit her place tomorrow morning."
However.
Early the next morning, Concubine Rong's people hadn't arrived yet, but Mo Lingwei's people did.
Wu Fang sent over the sika deer that Shen Ningning and the Ninth Prince raised together.
The ladies gathered around to watch, quite surprised.
The sika deer was timid by nature and huddled next to Shen Ningning, trembling with fear.
Wu Fang held up his hand and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that since it is for you to play with, the princess, let him keep it in Shuixiehuawu."
Once Mo Lingwei's words were released yesterday, he would make this move a reality.
Otherwise, others will definitely still doubt Shen Ningning.
The little guy touched the sika deer's ears and asked hurriedly: "Brother Wu Fang, when can I go and chat with my brother?"
Wu Fang smiled and said: "There is heavy snow on the road in Chongzhou. His Royal Highness was dealing with this matter all night yesterday and was unable to get away for the time being."
"When he is done with his work, he will naturally let the princess take over from his humble position."
After hearing this, Shen Ningning nodded obediently: "Okay, then I'll wait for him."
After Wu Fang left, the ladies gathered around the sika deer and stroked it happily.
Everyone said at once: "Princess, His Highness the Crown Prince is so kind to you, and even allows you to raise deer in the palace."
"This little deer is so good. I knew how the princess could cheat. It was all misunderstood by others."
Ye Shangyi heard this from the side and felt that the man's words were directed at her.
She snorted angrily: "You are a bunch of fence-sitters!"
The eldest aunt came out at the right time to stop the quarrel.
"Ladies, pack up. I will take you to walk the road from the East Four Palaces to the Prince's Palace again in a while."
This is the final assessment. The result of the female official selection will be announced tomorrow morning.
Everyone responded, and Shen Ningning hurriedly pulled the sika deer into the room.
Xie Yuanjiu was still recuperating. When she saw the deer while lying on the couch, she asked: "Did the prince send it to you?"
Shen Ningning hummed, and said in a soft voice: "Sister Xie, I will tie the deer to my side and will not disturb your rest."
Xie Yuanjiu's eyes flashed with disgust, and she smiled: "Don't be so polite to me, just don't let it run around."
Shen Ningning knew of course, and left water and carrots for the sika deer.
Just when she was about to follow everyone and follow her aunt to the East Four Palaces, Rong Fei's maid came.
"Her Majesty invites Princess Funing and Miss Qi to the palace for a gathering." Rong Fei only invited Shen Ningning and Qi Xiuwei.
Everyone's eyes suddenly changed.
Ye Shangyi folded her arms and sneered: "I said, what else do we have to choose? Rong Fei must have already made up her mind who to choose."
One is her own niece, and the other is the famous Fu Nu.
Even if Shen Ningning is not chosen, Qi Xiuwei must be chosen.
The aunt comforted everyone: "Don't speculate on the queen's mind at will. This is a taboo. In this case, Princess, Miss Qi, you should follow quickly."
On the way to Rong Fei's palace, Shen Ningning tightly grasped the round wooden sign with a deer head engraved on it.
She secretly made up her mind that no matter what Rong Fei said later, she would return this thing!
Moreover, she also took the initiative to say that she could not and did not want to be the Ninth Prince's lady-in-waiting.
