The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

In the study room of the East Palace, the prince stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, his face gloomy, and he was obviously in a bad mood.

Several close courtiers stood in front of the desk, waiting with bated breath, for fear that the prince would be angry with them.

After being silent for a long time, the prince turned around and returned to his seat, sat down, and said with a deep look:

"The fourth child has gained the attention of the father this time. I am afraid that the direction of the wind is about to change. Tell me, what is the father's intention?"

As soon as the prince's words came out, several courtiers lowered their heads and exchanged secret glances. One courtier replied: "Your Highness, I believe that your Majesty did this deliberately. We don't need to be too nervous about the fourth prince."

The prince frowned: "You mean that my father did this to beat me and the second child, so he deliberately promoted the fourth child."

The courtier nodded: "Although Zhang Mengde was determined to be the main culprit in the Gucheng case, what else was found on His Highness the Fourth Prince? We don't know. I think His Majesty was unwilling to continue to investigate further, so he was so generous to the Fourth Prince and gave up. The idea of ​​him pursuing it further.”

After hearing this, the prince's expression softened a little.

Another courtier continued: "His Majesty has never been very warm to the fourth prince. This time he is just asking him to receive the envoys, and it will not cause any trouble."

"Right now, we must suppress the Second Prince's forces before the envoys from Qian Ye Kingdom arrive, so as not to wait until Qian Ye Kingdom proposes peace again, and His Majesty will agree, thus favoring the Second Prince and Concubine Yue even more."

The courtier's words touched the prince's sensitive nerves.

He pondered for a moment with a cold face, and his eyes suddenly became firm.

"Let's make arrangements and collect evidence. This time, I will definitely get rid of the second child!"

Seeing the cruel expression on the prince's face, several courtiers responded quickly: "I obey!"

Ning Ziqing had been staying in the Su Mansion for nearly ten days. A few days ago, Ning Zijun was suddenly sent out by Emperor Yao to pick up the third princess and had not yet returned.

The guards in Xiyuan also changed a group of people. Ning Ziqing had figured out how to get rid of those guards, and planned not to come to Su Mansion from tomorrow on.

She made tea in the tea room and took it to the study room of Zuo He Zhai to find Su Yanqi.

Knocking on the door, I heard Su Yanqi's slightly tired voice inside: "Come in."

Ning Ziqing pushed the door open and went in.

Seeing Su Yanqi sitting in front of the desk and writing something intently, he was wearing a plain white robe embroidered with cloud patterns and flying cranes today. The robe was light and elegant, complementing his gentle and elegant temperament.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Ning Ziqing, pinched his sleeve and put down his pen.

When Ning Ziqing approached, Su Yanqi looked at the tea cup in her hand and smiled gently: "For me?"

The already handsome face became even more tender and tender because of this smile.

Ning Ziqing stared at Su Yanqi for a moment, completely different from the stern look he had seen him angry with a few days ago.

Feeling Ning Ziqing's strange gaze, Su Yanqi asked softly: "What? Are you afraid of me?"

Ning Ziqing came back to her senses and smiled: "You are not a tiger, why should I be afraid of you?" She reached out and handed the teacup into his hand.

Su Yanqi took it, opened the tea lid and took a sip.

Ning Ziqing asked him: "Does it taste good?"

Su Yanqi nodded: "It tastes good, with an elegant texture and a long aftertaste."

"I asked Uncle Shi to collect the morning dew on the lotus leaves and brew it. This tea is the 'Yandang Mountain Rain' sent by the caravan. I knew you would like it." Ning Ziqing said with a proud smile.

Su Yanqi curled her lips slightly, took a few more sips, put down the tea cup and praised her: "You are thoughtful." She put away the letter she had just written and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Ning Ziqing scratched her head and said bluntly: "I won't come to Su Mansion tomorrow. I've bothered you, Mr. Qilang, for so many days. Thank you."

Su Yanqi paused, looked up at her and said calmly: "That's fine, you can stay in Xiyuan when you go back and don't run around."

Ning Ziqing nodded obediently and couldn't help but curse in her heart, "Can you control whether I run away or not?"

He turned to leave, but suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked, "Shichiro-kun, are you satisfied with the handkerchief I embroidered for you?"

Su Yanqi replied: "Satisfied."

The next moment, Ning Ziqing stretched out a hand in front of her eyes and hooked her fingers.

Su Yanqi was puzzled: "What?"

"Give me money!" Ning Ziqing smiled and raised her eyebrows. Before Su Yanqi could react, she continued: "I didn't give you this handkerchief. You said you liked Mrs. Xiang'an's embroidery, so I agreed. I embroidered it for you. This is the only one in Kyoto, so for the sake of being an acquaintance, let me give you a discount!"

Su Yanqi was stunned, looking at Ning Ziqing's serious expression and wondering whether to laugh or cry.

He shook his head, grabbed a handful of golden beans from a grid on the desk, put it in her hand and sighed, "Your method of making money is all hitting me on the head."

Ning Ziqing happily counted the golden beans in his hand: "Didn't you teach me how to do business?"

Su Yanqi couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.

Ning Ziqing quickly praised: "Look, you look so beautiful when you smile. Don't always keep a straight face, smile more."

Su Yanqi's eyes flashed slightly, her heart palpitating, and she asked softly: "Do you like to see me smile?"

Ning Ziqing teased him with a playful wink: "Who doesn't like to see a handsome man smile?"

After saying that, she turned around to run away, but Su Yanqi grabbed her arm angrily: "I think you have almost forgotten all the rules of a lady. I will find a nanny to teach you again tomorrow!"

Being teased by Ning Ziqing many times made Su Yanqi very angry. He was very unhappy with a sullen face, but he couldn't do anything about this person.

"I was wrong. I will never tease you again." Ning Ziqing admitted her mistake with a grimace.

Su Yanqi gritted her teeth and let go of her hand with an angry groan, gesturing for her to leave.

Ning Ziqing ran away, fearing that he would regret it.

Before dinner, thinking that Ning Ziqing would not come to Su Mansion again tomorrow, Su Yanqi specially asked his servants to cook a few more of Ning Ziqing's favorite dishes.

He settled his affairs in advance and went to the teahouse to ask Ning Ziqing to have a meal in the main room.

Walking to the door of the teahouse, I heard Yaoyao scolding Ning Ziqing: "The sachets others embroidered for their lover were either embroidered with mandarin ducks or birds. Look what you are embroidering? On one side are tigers and foxes, and on the other are some messy grass. , are you sure His Royal Highness will like this?"

Ning Ziqing was angry: "That's not grass, that's purple wisteria!" He snatched the sachet back and glanced at Yaoyao angrily: "Why should I embroider like others? I think this is pretty good. , he will definitely like it.”

Yaoyao snorted coldly, looked at the sachet in her hand and asked: "Is it possible that the fox embroidered is you and the tiger is His Highness the Fourth Highness? Isn't this purple wisteria your love flower?"

"You are so smart!" Ning Ziqing praised her with a smile, picked up the sachet and finished embroidering the last few stitches, then raised it up to admire it with satisfaction.

"He hasn't come to see me for many days. I know he is very busy and can't spare time to see me. When I give this sachet to him, he will take it out and take a look when he misses me."

"I really can't stand you guys, disgusting." Yaoyao held her hands together, shook her shoulders, and walked out in disgust, only to see a white figure walking away quickly.

After a while, Uncle Shi came to invite Ning Ziqing and Yaoyao to have a meal.

A large table of sumptuous dishes was eaten only by the two of them.

Ning Ziqing asked Uncle Shi why Su Yanqi didn't come?Uncle Shi prevaricated that Su Yanqi had something to deal with and sent dinner to the study.

Ning Ziqing didn't think much about it and went to say goodbye to Su Yanqi after dinner with Yaoyao.

Uncle Shi stopped the two of them and told them that Su Yanqi was busy with business and couldn't disturb them.

Then Qingxu and Qiang Ze were arranged to escort them out of the Su Mansion.

After the two left, Uncle Shi went to the study to report. He saw that the food on the table had not been moved, and Su Yanqi leaned on the back of the chair with a lonely expression.

"She's gone?" Su Yanqi raised his eyes and sat up straight.

Uncle Shi nodded and couldn't help but ask: "Since the young master can't let go of the third lady, why don't you keep her longer?"

Su Yanqi said calmly: "You are not married yet, but you keep running to me. How can you behave like this?"

Uncle Shi sighed lightly and reminded Su Yanqi to eat. Su Yanqi shook his head and said that he had no appetite and ordered him to leave.

Uncle Shi reluctantly picked up the tray and excused himself. As soon as he reached the door, Yan Si ran in in a panic and reported back: "My lord, something happened. The dam downstream has burst. His Highness the Fourth Prince has just led people out of the city to rush for rescue!"

Su Yanqi was startled, stood up and walked out quickly: "Follow me to chase His Highness the Fourth, and send someone to tell the Third Miss not to worry."

"Yes!"
