Chapter 261: A Fateful Affinity
Zhou Ning secretly gave her a thumbs up: "Good eyesight."
Kong Sangling took Zhou Ning's arm and said in a familiar voice, "My name is Kong Sangling, and I'm the princess of Yangwu. You can just call me Ling'er. I don't know your name yet."
"We... don't seem to be very familiar with each other." Zhou Ning struggled to stretch out his arms.
"Oh, we can become familiar with each other. You really catch my eye. I want to be friends with you." Kong Sangling said coquettishly.
Zhou Ning couldn't stand the girl's coquettishness, so he could only laugh awkwardly and said, "Zhou Ning, Zhou Quan's Zhou, Ning is..."
Zhou Ning took Kong Sang Ling's hand and wrote on it stroke by stroke: "This Ning."
"Oh~ Ning, which family are you from? I would like to visit you when I have time." Kong Sang Ling said with a smile.
Zhou Ning refused: "Your Highness, you are the envoy of Yangwu, and I am the princess of Daqian. I don't think you and I should be so close."
"Ah, so you are a princess, then your father must be a prince."
"It's not..."
Kong Sanghai followed behind and felt that Kong Sangling was really attentive, but the woman seemed to be indifferent, which was really uncomfortable to see. So he said something to Kong Sangling in Yangwu language and glanced at Zhou Ning.
Kong Sangling replied angrily, but just looked at Zhou Ning regretfully and was about to follow Kong Sanghai.
Zhou Ning didn't know, but Shen You specially learned Yangwu language, so she naturally knew what Kong Sanghai said, "You are a princess, don't deal with those questionable people."
Shen You was so angry, what did she mean by a person of questionable character? Her An Ning was the best woman in the world.
"I advise your two princes to be careful with their words and actions and not to cause trouble. Not everyone can marry Princess Daqian." Shen You raised his voice deliberately, making Kong Sanghai feel embarrassed for a while.
In this way, it can also be regarded as building up the national prestige for Daqian and destroying Yangwu's ambition.
After Kong Sanghai and Kong Sangling paid their respects to the emperor, they stayed in the inn arranged by the Honglu Temple.
Kong Sanghai was reading a book and drinking milk tea, but the messenger Botu sighed again and again.
"What's wrong with you?" Kong Sanghai looked up at Botu.
Botu shook his head, shaking the beads on his beard together: "That Daqian is simply too much. Although my Yangwu is a defeated country, they let a princess receive us and let us live in such a shabby place."
Princess……?
Kong Sanghai felt happy when he thought of Shen You, who had a gentle appearance but a strong personality.
He has always liked women who appear weak on the outside but are strong on the inside.
"Then what do you think, envoy, should I do to enhance the prestige of our Yangwu nation?" Kong Sanghai said, touching the cup.
Botu said indignantly: "In my opinion, Your Highness should marry that princess and let her know how powerful I, Yang Wu, am."
"Okay, then I'll do as the envoy says and grind the ink for me. I want to write a letter to my father and marry Princess Daqian." Kong Sanghai said, waving his hand.
"Yes, I will go find the letter paper for you."
As soon as Botu left the room, he smiled triumphantly.
Botu first wrote a letter himself, put it at the feet of a carrier pigeon, and let it fly out. However, the pigeon did not fly far before it was intercepted by people in the imperial city.
Fifteen days later, the emperor held a New Year's Eve banquet and invited the Yangwu envoys and ministers to share in the joy.
Shen You secretly complained to Zhou Ning that they didn't know what was wrong with the emperor. He still wanted people to work on New Year's Eve. He was really the most shameless of all the shameless ones.
However, the banquet in Fengtian Hall was not arranged by Shen You, but was hosted by the Queen.
When Shen You was going to pay a visit to the emperor, he passed by the Fengtian Hall, but saw Qi Ji directing the arrangements inside, with the empress next to him giving instructions from time to time.
Shen You thought she was dazzled. Isn't Qi Ji from the Ministry of Justice? When did he come to arrange the banquet?
But there were so many people around now that Shen You didn't know how to ask. She waited until Qi Ji finished and then asked secretly.
Qi Ji said calmly: "The Queen said that you will do great things in the future, and the rest of the etiquette, such as banquets, can only be handled by the future prince consort."
Shen You felt sorry for Qi Ji: "You don't have to listen to the Queen. We can talk about the future later. The most important thing is that you have to do what you like."
"You don't have to worry." Qi Ji brushed the snow off Shen You's head and said, "I'm glad to be able to do something for you."
A very inappropriate voice sounded at the side: "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Shen You took a step back calmly and said to Kong Sanghai, "Prince, can't you find the way?"
Kong Sanghai looked at Shen You without hesitation. Today, Shen You was wearing a goose yellow robe with silver patterns, which made her look even more delicate. He said, "That's right. Your Majesty invited me to talk about trivial matters. I wonder where the Qinzheng Palace is?"
Nosy business? Don't you know about Qinzheng Hall?
Qi Ji caught Kong Sanghai's eyes just now, which was a covetous look.
He didn't like people looking at Yuzu like that.
Qi Ji said rudely: "You can just ask any palace maid or eunuch. I have something else to do with Her Royal Highness the Princess, so I'll leave first."
Having said that, Qi Ji took Shen You's hand and left.
Kong Sanghai thought to himself, how long can this arrogant protection last? After tonight, everything will be his.
On this side, Qi Ji was walking so fast that Shen You could hardly keep up. He lost his balance and stumbled.
Qi Ji hurried to help Shen You and asked, "Are you okay? Did you fall?"
Shen You held Qi Ji's arm, smiled, and said, "I'm fine. But you, why are you so unhappy? Are you jealous?"
"A little bit." Qi Ji said, "The way he looked at you just now always made people feel very uncomfortable."
Shen You smiled and said, "I know, but he is just talking nonsense at most. He can't really kidnap me. You don't have to get angry over such a villain."
Qi Ji's expression became more serious, and he said, "Youzi, if he really wants to kidnap you, I will definitely find you back, no matter how high the mountains and how far the rivers are, I will not give up. If you break this oath, you will be damned forever."
"Why are you swearing for no reason?" Shen You said in feigned anger, "If he really kidnaps me, or if anything happens to me, will you still die for me?"
"it is good."
"what?"
"I said, I will die for you."
Qi Ji spoke seriously, but Shen You couldn't help shrinking her neck and avoiding this heavy topic: "Okay, okay, A Ning and Xiao Bai are waiting for us in front, let's go."
Bai Zhao is on duty tonight, guarding the imperial city.
Taking advantage of the shift change, Zhou Ning brought some food to Bai Zhao to save him from having an empty stomach during the long night.
It was common knowledge in the city that Zhou Ning and Bai Zhao were engaged.
Every time Zhou Ning came to see Bai Zhao, the soldiers would inevitably make some jokes.
Zhou Ning was very generous and even gave food to the soldiers. Bai Zhao's face turned red every time she did this, like a shy little wife.
"This is Thousand Silk Cake. It's very sweet. You should try it." Zhou Ning said.
Bai Zhao broke off a piece and tasted it, his eyes sparkling as he said, "It's delicious. Save some for Xiao Xi'er. She's been nagging me lately for not going home for New Year's Eve. I'll save some delicious food for her. Let's see how she can say that to me tomorrow."
Before, Bai Xi was taken care of by Zhou Wan, but now Bai Xi has become the playmate of Little Coke and Little Sprite. He has become more and more cheerful, but he also talks more and more.
Zhou Ning laughed out loud: "What did you leave for her? This is what she left over for you."
Bai Zhao was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. What happened? Has he become a swill bucket?
Zhou Ning explained: "This is made by pomelo. I only made a little. You and Xiao Xi'er are the only ones in our family who like sweet food, so I gave it to Xiao Xi'er. But she missed you, so she left a quarter for you."
It turns out that the little sister still has some conscience.
Bai Zhao snorted coldly and said, "She still cares about me."
"Oh, speak of the devil, here comes Youzi." Zhou Ning waved towards the distance.
Shen You ran over holding her skirt, and seeing Bai Zhao eating the Thousand Silk Cake, she asked, "Is it delicious?"
Bai Zhao nodded and said, "I have to say, your cooking skills are getting better and better. This Thousand Silk Cake is sweet but not greasy, and delicious."
Qi Ji heard this and asked, "Thousand Silk Cake...Yuzu, is there none for me?"
Shen You also tasted the Thousand Silk Cake, and after swallowing it, she said, "Originally, there was only enough for Xiao Xi'er, and Xiao Bai got it because of Xiao Xi'er."
Unexpectedly, Qi Ji reached out and snatched the Thousand Silk Cake from Bai Zhao's hand. He tasted it and said with a fake smile: "I like it too. If you have time in the future, can you make it for me?"
Shen You silently gave the Thousand Silk Cake in her hand to Qi Ji and said, "Okay."
Qi Ji didn't take the Thousand Silk Cake from Shen You's hand, and said, "You eat it."
Bai Zhao: Then, what about mine?
Qi Ji ignored it.
Zhou Ning suppressed a smile, it seemed that Bai Zhao was the only one injured.
Qi Ji took Shen You's hand and left, leaving Bai Zhao and Zhou Ning who laughed at Bai Zhao.
