Chapter 189: Her Grand Enthronement
Shen Ningning looked at Rong Fei with tears in her eyes. After hearing those words, she felt particularly kind to Rong Fei now.
Mo Lingwei grabbed her little hand: "Don't worry, my father said that the prime minister will also rush back to the capital today. I believe you will see him at the banquet later."
"Besides, he went to Shuzhou this time to find his daughter. I just learned from my father that Prime Minister Xie's little daughter was stolen as soon as she was born and disappeared."
"He was also physically hit by this incident, so he didn't interfere in the affairs of the court in recent years. My father also understood that he had never given up looking for his biological daughter."
Shen Ningning choked and threw herself into Mo Lingwei's arms, holding his sleeves tightly with her little hands.
"Thank you, brother, you helped me find my family, and I will no longer be an orphan in the future."
Her actions attracted the attention of people nearby, and Mo Lingwei's ears turned slightly red.
He reached out and gently stroked Shen Ningning's little head, lowering his voice and saying, "There are so many people watching here, let's hold her when there's no one around."
As he said that, he squatted down and wiped the tears from the little one's eyes.
"I have something else to tell you. If you want to cry after hearing this, come to my arms."
Looking at the solemnity in Mo Lingwei's thin eyes, Shen Ningning quickly wiped away her tears with her sleeves.
She opened her red eyes and asked, "Brother, are you going to talk about my mother?"
The little one is very smart. Mo Lingwei just said so much, mentioning his father and brothers.
But he didn't say where her mother Shen Siyi is now.
Mo Lingwei didn't intend to hide it from her. Shen Ningning would know sooner or later after recognizing her relatives.
He said in a deep voice, "Your mother, Madam Xie Shen... has passed away."
Shen Ningning's little body swayed and she almost lost her balance. Fortunately, Mo Lingwei supported her in time.
Bean-sized tears kept rolling down her white cheeks, her eyes were dark and filled with sadness.
"Mother..." She was gone before they even met.
Mo Lingwei sighed: "My people found out that she was shocked after you were lost, and one night she fell into the lake and drowned."
As soon as Shen Ningning whimpered, she threw herself into Mo Lingwei's arms decisively.
He patted her back gently, comforting the little one with a cold and pleasant voice.
"Cry, I know the pain of losing your mother, but you still have your father and brother. With the character of the Xie family, they will love you in every way after finding you back."
Shen Ningning's cry in his arms was even more dull and sad.
It turned out that she had dreamed of the memory of her mother hugging her gently, which was the last short time they spent together.
The little one cried for a long time, and when Mo Lingwei led her back to Grandma Qin, her eyes were swollen like walnuts.
"Awoo!" The Black Wolf King noticed it first and quickly jumped to Shen Ningning's side.
Then, it looked at Mo Lingwei beside her with an impolite and fierce look.
Did this stinky boy bully his delicate Ningning?
Grandma Qin also came over and asked distressedly: "Ningning, what's wrong, why are you crying?"
Shen Ningning wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her little hands and tried to bloom a sweet smile.
"Grandma, my brother seems to have helped me find my family. I will soon have a father!" She leaned over and whispered.
Grandma Qin was very surprised: "Really? That's great, grandma is so happy for you!"
Mo Lingwei nodded and said in a steady voice: "After the enthronement ceremony is over, I will ask my father to make the decision for them to recognize each other."
Only the Black Wolf King stood up with his front paws on the table and licked the tears off Shen Ningning's face.
Of course, he was happy for Shen Ningning, but he still cared more about whether the little guy was sad.
At this time, Rong Fei's maid came and presented Shen Ningning with the collection of poems "Flower Dream" given by Rong Fei.
"Princess, our queen said that this collection of poems contains all the blessings and imaginations of the predecessors for the beautiful life. The queen wants to use this collection of poems to express her blessings to the princess."
"There are two copies in total. One is the original copy, and the other is copied by the queen herself and burned in front of the Buddha."
Grandma Qin couldn't help but say: "The queen Rong Fei is really thoughtful. I thank the queen for her kindness on behalf of my children."
She was about to stand up and salute, but was persuaded by the maid.
"Old Madam Qin, you don't have to be polite. The queen said that she felt particularly fond of the princess as soon as she saw her. There is always an indescribable sense of intimacy. Maybe this is fate?"
Shen Ningning thought that Rong Fei was her aunt, and her smile became sweet and lovely, with shallow dimples.
"Thank you, Madam. I like this gift very much and will treasure it."
After the little guy finished speaking, the maid took her leave.
After a while, the banquet began.
When the auspicious time arrived, Shen Ningning, served by the maid, put on the Guangxian Yanluo Baji skirt specially made for her by thirty embroiderers from the Palace Affairs Department.
There was a blue phoenix embroidered on the hem of the skirt, which was considered a very high treatment in the standards of the princess.
You know, only the queen and the princess can have phoenixes embroidered on their dresses, and the blue phoenix is close to the phoenix family, which is not available to ordinary people.
The blue phoenix on the hem of Shen Ningning's skirt is decorated with emerald feathers to create distinct layers of feathers. The outline outlined by the fine embroidery makes the whole blue phoenix, which is about to fly, lifelike.
The whole skirt is bright in color. In the sunlight, there are some golden fragments shining in the royal blue, which is very noble!
The tassel crown on the head is inlaid with twelve pearls of the best quality.
When Shen Ningning walked gently, the sheen of her skirt and hair accessories could be seen shining together, which was particularly eye-catching.
She was born with fair skin and delicate eyebrows and eyes, so when Shen Ningning appeared with the help of the palace maid, everyone was stunned.
Noble, too noble!
The aqua blue on the skirt was like flowing sea water, clear and icy blue.
It seemed that she was not a princess, but a princess of the Dragon Palace.
Shen Ningning was invited to sit next to the emperor and Mo Lingwei.
The little guy was noble and awe-inspiring, with a perfect smile on her rosy cheeks, looking like a member of the royal family.
Shen Ningning felt Mo Lingwei's gaze, and she turned her head to look.
The young prince smiled gently and said, "It looks good."
The emperor was also very happy and ordered the eunuch to read the decree of canonization.
"The Princess of Funing County, Yanxiang Ziji, gentle and obedient, blessed by the heavenly way... Today, she is granted the title of Princess of Funing."
"Enjoy, more than a hundred palace servants, including fifty maids and eunuchs, thirty palace guards, ten second-class maids serving incense and books, five first-class maids, three coachmen, two accountants, and two housekeepers."
"Six red wooden carriages with canopies; nine fine horses; two residences in the capital; a monthly salary of 200 taels and a fief of 200 shi."
"The emperor gave 80 rolls of various colored cloth, satin and silk, and 100 South China Sea pearls; His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave a complete set of 300 pieces of Hetian jade and porcelain, 20 sets of gold and silver bowls and plates, and nine Baoguang coral money trees..."
After a long list was read out, the people present were dumbfounded.
Is this still a princess? Her status is almost as high as that of a princess!
When the eunuch finished reading, a tall figure appeared at the gate of the garden.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I was delayed on the way and arrived a little late."
Shen Ningning was not moved by all the dazzling pearls and treasures just now.
But the moment she saw Xie Suzhi, the little girl immediately straightened up, looked at him with her watery eyes, and even blinked slowly.
The uncle she liked the most and felt the closest to was actually her father!
