Chapter 410 Ningning Makes the Heavens Obey
After hearing this, Shen Ningning smiled sweetly, her round little face turning a delicate and red color.
"There is nothing wrong with recommending you to enter the palace to have meals with the emperor's uncle, but why did Xiaowei suddenly think of this matter?"
Qi Xiuwei hesitated to speak and kept stealing glances at the maid next to her. She hesitated and couldn't think of an explanation.
On the other hand, when the maid saw this, she remembered Mrs. Qi's instructions, so she used the time to add some tea and apologized to Shen Ningning before Qi Xiuwei could speak:
"Your Highness, Concubine Qi was neglected before. We sent people to the palace but could not see her. No, Concubine Qi misunderstood and thought that the Qi Mansion no longer wanted to care about her."
"So, our old lady has always wanted to find an opportunity to make peace with Concubine Qi. Unfortunately, our lord is a foreign minister and cannot send the young lady into the harem."
"So I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to have dinner with the emperor and ask the young lady to comfort Concubine Qi."
I see.
Shen Ningning blinked her eyes in understanding.
She looked at Qi Xiuwei and saw Qi Xiuwei pursed her lips and frowned, as if she was extremely embarrassed.
Shen Ningning thought she was embarrassed to ask for help, so she said decisively: "No problem, it's a trivial matter, then I will give you my chance. It happens that the day after tomorrow, I will go to the palace for dinner. I will send someone to tell the emperor's uncle in advance. "One sound."
Qi Xiuwei lowered her head and said in a sad voice: "Thank you... Ning Ning."
Shen Ningning dislikes Concubine Qi very much, but the little guy also understands the reason of the Qi family. After all, Concubine Qi is Xiaowei's aunt, and Shen Ningning is willing to help her once.
However, the little guy felt that when she left, Qi Xiuwei's expression seemed like she was about to cry?
The day after tomorrow.
Ye Changyi and the others entered the palace, and Shen Ningning gave the opportunity to Qi Xiuwei. Naturally, she didn't go herself, so she went to the shop to check the accounts.
On a clear winter day, the cold wind is as sharp as a knife.
Pedestrians outside were wrapped in thick fur coats and came and went.
Shen Ningning stood behind the counter, holding the account book with her little hands. Beside her, a pot of black tea and ginger soup prepared by Aunt Yun was bubbling.
Uncle Zhong stood beside Shen Ningning and pointed to several notes on the account book.
"Boss, we have made back all the money we lost during the cold crisis. We can make a stable profit of 200 taels per month. Added together over the past few months, you and the second boss will be able to share approximately 1,000 taels in dividends by the end of the year."
Shen Ningning's eyebrows arched happily: "Uncle Zhong, thank you for your hard work. I won't treat you badly when the Chinese New Year comes."
The hot spring village she and Lu Shaoyuan invested in is now doing well.
Without the legend of ghosts and the reputation of the lucky girl to suppress it, the number of noble families coming to enjoy the hot springs gradually increased.
Lu Shaoyuan was mainly responsible for the business at the villa. He said he was counting money with both eyes closed.
Shen Ningning guessed that this year would be a prosperous year.
If she makes a lot of money, she will buy some more jade and feed it to the fairyland.
At this moment, a suppressed cry came from the door——
"Ning Ning...you, are you free now?"
Shen Ningning raised her head and saw Qi Xiuwei standing holding the door frame with red eyes.
She was thin and thin, and even though she was wearing a heavy cloak, she felt thin.
"Xiaowei!" Shen Ningning hurriedly ran over, took her hand and led her in: "What's wrong with you? Aren't you going to the palace to have dinner with the emperor's uncle? Why are you here?"
As she said that, the little guy glanced behind her.
The group of Qi family servants who always followed closely were not there, but Qi Xiuwei in front of her could no longer help crying because of her care.
"Ning Ning, I'm sorry, I lied to you."
Guests coming and going cast doubtful glances at them.
Shen Ningning took her and walked to the greenhouse in the backyard, letting Aunt Yun and Uncle Zhong stare ahead.
Wu'er was smart and recognized that Shen Ningning's friend was here, and immediately came in with hot tea.
In the warm room, Qi Xiuwei sat in a chair, wiping tears sadly.
Shen Ningning patted her back and placed the warm tea brought by Wu'er into her cold palm.
"Tell me nicely, what happened?"
Wu'er brought two more plates of pastries and stepped away wisely, not forgetting to say: "Sister Ningning, I'm in the front yard. If you need my help, just call me."
After he left, Qi Xiuwei choked and said, "Last time, the maid said that she asked me to ask you for that opportunity. In fact, she wanted to use me to ease the relationship with my aunt. In fact, that was not the case."
"That maid is my grandmother's. My grandmother forced me to ask you for this opportunity. She wanted me... to show my face in front of the emperor to make a good impression, and then asked my father to beg the emperor to remove me. I will serve as a female official in Zichen Palace for His Highness the Crown Prince."
Qi Xiuwei cried so hard that she couldn't breathe, and her eyes were red.
"Ning Ning, believe me, I will never compete with you for the position of Crown Princess."
Instead, the little guy blinked his big clear black eyes in surprise.
"Xiaowei, how come your grandmother is plotting against you?"
Qi Xiuwei lowered her eyelashes with teardrops: "My grandmother always told me what she said at home, and even my father listened to her. I heard from my mother that when my aunt was still at home, my grandmother would force her to make friends with powerful people. It seems... like you When mother stayed in Qi Mansion, she was forced by my grandmother to win over the powerful. "
Shen Ningning was surprised, with a hint of anger rising on her face: "She is so annoying!"
"She wants to win over the powerful so much that she can be her brother's female official. What are you doing to embarrass you? Hmph!"
Qi Xiuwei wiped her tears after listening to her words.
"Originally, I was going to enter the palace, but... my aunt hated our family. When she was in the cold palace, she had nothing, and my grandmother didn't let my parents find a way to help her."
"So when I entered the palace today, I was stopped by the eunuch. After asking carefully, I found out that it was my aunt who told the emperor that I was in poor health and I was afraid that I would get sick if I entered the palace."
Qi Xiuwei said, choking up: "I heard that she recommended Xie Yuanjiu. When I was forced to leave the palace, Xie Yuanjiu's carriage passed by me."
Shen Ningning was really angry now.
"Why is your aunt so mean? You are her relative!"
Qi Xiuwei lowered her head and said in a sullen voice: "Well, it's better not to enter the palace, so that my grandmother won't force me to compete for the prince's female official."
"Just now I jumped off the carriage and finally got rid of those eyes. Ningning, can I stay with you for a while? My home is like a cage, and I can't breathe."
Shen Ningning thought about it and nodded decisively: "No problem!"
"I'll make it rain. In this way, when you go home, you can tell your grandmother that you came home late because you were trapped by the heavy rain, and she won't blame you."
Qi Xiuwei stopped wiping her tears.
She was a little surprised.
"Ningning, you...can you really make the sky listen?" Qi Xiuwei reacted immediately, and she seemed to ask a nonsense question.
Ningning is a serious lucky girl! The fairy who led everyone through two natural disasters in succession!
Shen Ningning winked at her playfully.
"Yes, I will communicate with God and he will agree to our request."
As he said that, the little guy ran to the window with his back to Qi Xiuwei.
While she couldn't see, Shen Ningning pulled out a few black cotton candy-like clouds from the fairyland with her little hands.
As soon as her fingers loosened, the clouds flew into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
Shen Ningning waited with a smile.
Little black cloud~ come on, big one!
