Chapter 529 Don’t You Know I Like You?

Before New Year's Eve, it snowed again in the capital.

Taking advantage of the sunny day, Mo Lingwei finally finished his work and sent someone to take Shen Ningning to the palace to appreciate the plum blossoms.

Coincidentally, Master Ye also came to pay a visit to the prince.

When Shen Ningning got off the sedan chair, Master Ye bowed and asked the guards outside the Purple Palace to pass on his message.

"Grandpa Ye." Shen Ningning greeted in a sweet voice.

She had a very good relationship with Ye Shangyi and often visited the Ye Mansion in recent years.

Privately, Master Ye treated her almost like his own granddaughter.

Seeing Shen Ningning coming, Master Ye's serious and majestic face was immediately filled with smiles.

"Ningning is also here to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"My brother said he would take me to appreciate plum blossoms today."

Master Ye hesitated for a moment: "I see."

Shen Ningning tilted her head: "Are you here to discuss government affairs with my brother? Then I'll go to the side hall and wait. I'll come back after you finish your business."

Master Ye hurriedly called her: "Ningning, it's best if you're here today. I'm not here for government affairs, but for national affairs."

Shen Ningning nodded quickly when she heard it was so important.

At this moment, Mo Lingwei strode out: "Shen Ningning, why don't you come in?"

He glanced and saw Master Ye smiling and bowing, and Mo Lingwei's cold brows suddenly fell.

"Old Master, you're here again? If it's still about that matter, my answer is no, go home quickly, it's cold and you're old, why bother."

As he said, he walked down the steps and held Shen Ningning's small hand with his warm big hand.

Mo Lingwei frowned and put her hand in his arms.

"How long have you been waiting outside? Your hands are so cold."

"I just came, and I haven't waited as long as Grandpa Ye."

As Shen Ningning said this, she saw Mo Lingwei trying to pull her in.

Ye Taifu followed behind: "Your Highness, but... According to the rules of the court, you are already over 20 years old. If you don't get married, it will be bad for the country!"

Shen Ningning opened her watery eyes wide.

Then she realized that Ye Taifu came to urge this matter and advise!

No wonder he said it was a national event, and the prince's marriage was of course a big deal.

Mo Lingwei frowned coldly, and deep displeasure surged in his thin eyes.

"I have told you many times that you don't want to get married now. Do you not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?"

His tone was fierce.

Last night, the emperor was scolded by Mo Lingwei because he mentioned this matter to him.

Today Ye Taifu came to cause trouble again because of this issue.

"Do I have to hit you a few times before you give up?" He raised his chin slightly, his eyes were cold and piercing, and his tone was full of warning.

At this moment, the girl beside him coughed.

Mo Lingwei's arrogant and domineering aura suddenly shrank by half a head.

He glanced at Shen Ningning's eyes, only to see the girl pursed her lips and squinted her watery eyes at him.

Mo Lingwei:...

He turned to look at the trembling Master Ye, and his tone became gentle.

"I know your difficulties. As a master, it is your responsibility to advise you."

Master Ye almost burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your sympathy. As long as you don't get married, I will share the worries of the emperor and give you some advice. Please think about your lifelong affairs, Your Highness, for your own lifelong affairs!"

When the emperor was as old as the prince, the queen was already pregnant.

Mo Lingwei narrowed his eyes, and there was a perfunctory fake smile on his handsome face.

"Okay, I will definitely consider it, you go back."

"Thank you, Your Highness, I'll take my leave."

Old Master Ye let out a long sigh, and walked away with some joy.

Mo Lingwei then restrained his expression, his brows were cold.

He exuded a sense of oppression, making the guards of the entire Zichen Palace dare not breathe.

Shen Ningning tugged at his sleeve: "Smile."

Mo Lingwei immediately did as he was told, with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were still sharp and black.

Shen Ningning was amused by him.

"Isn't it just considering marriage? You've made your brother so worried."

Mo Lingwei stared at her calmly: "Is marriage a trivial matter?"

Shen Ningning sat on his prince's chair and ate the seasonal fruits on his table with ease.

The girl shook her feet: "Well, I don't understand, but grandma said that my brother is old enough and it's time to get married."

Mo Lingwei brought a small stool and sat next to her dully.

Seeing Shen Ningning's slender hands as white as jade, she was peeling an orange.

Afraid that the juice of the orange would stain her fingertips, he took the initiative to take it.

He raised his sword eyebrows slightly and asked meaningfully: "Do you also want me to get married?"

Shen Ningning already has a concept of marriage. It's not like when she was a child, thinking that two people would be husband and wife after bowing to each other.

She thought carefully and said: "I hope you will do everything that is beneficial to you."

Mo Lingwei silently put the peeled orange in her hand.

"How is getting married beneficial?" He said in a low and cold voice.

"Everyone around me says so. Dad said that the happiest thing for him is to meet mom. Second uncle also said that finding the right person to get married is the most beautiful experience. Aunt Yun in the store also said so!"

Mo Lingwei snorted: "You have to be with the person you like to get married. Otherwise, if two unfamiliar people are tied together to get married, it's called accepting fate."

Shen Ningning blurted out: "Then brother will find someone he likes."

Mo Lingwei's originally indifferent expression suddenly became solemn and dark.

He stared at Shen Ningning, as if wondering, how could she say such a thing?

The girl didn't think much about it, but felt that Mo Lingwei's eyes were too cold, almost freezing.

She was stunned while chewing an orange, her fair cheeks puffed up, and she couldn't help asking: "What's wrong, did I say something wrong?"

Mo Lingwei stood up suddenly: "You're right, if you want to get married, you have to find someone you like."

His tone was a little angry, and he went to the side and started reading a book. No matter what Shen Ningning said, he ignored her.

No matter how slow the girl was, she realized that he was angry.

So she walked over and sat beside him obediently, leaning on his arm.

Mo Lingwei turned his body to the side and continued to read coldly.

Shen Ningning glanced at the book in his hand.

"You got it the wrong way."

"..." Mo Lingwei was silent for a moment, and threw the book away: "I'll close my eyes and rest, you can play by yourself."

Shen Ningning tilted her head: "Are we not going to see the red plums?"

"I'm not interested for the time being." He pursed his thin lips, very cold.

Shen Ningning nodded: "Okay then."

Mo Lingwei closed his eyes, but kept paying attention to Shen Ningning's movements.

He heard the little girl walking around in front of his table, making rustling noises, and he didn't know what she was doing.

Then he heard Shen Ningning walk to the door, close the door, and tell the guards at the door: "Go in and add hot tea later."

Wu Fang asked: "Princess, where are you going?"

"I'm going to Yimei Garden to see the plum blossoms, and I'll pick them and make plum blossom cakes for my brother."

Hearing this, Mo Lingwei couldn't help but pursed his lips, and the feeling of pleasure finally diluted the anger in his heart.

He began to reflect whether he was not obvious enough.

Couldn't Shen Ningning see that he liked her?

Even if he wanted to get married, he had to get married with her.

Mo Lingwei simply opened his eyes and planned to wait for her to come back while reading the memorial.

As soon as he walked to the table, he saw Shen Ningning peeled the orange and put it on the plate with a smile.

"Tsk," he snorted, "A trick to fool people."

He said he didn't care, but he enjoyed it very much.

However.

Mo Lingwei waited and waited, but Shen Ningning didn't come back.

Half an hour had passed, and you must be tired of looking at plum blossoms, right?

He immediately ordered Wu Fang to go and have a look.

Unexpectedly, Wu Fang came back soon, panting and said, "Your Highness, the young master of the Lu family came to the palace to give Commander Lu a cloak, and met the princess by chance. The two went to pick plum blossoms together. When I just went there, the princess was being amused by him and laughing non-stop."

Mo Lingwei's eyebrows jumped, and his thin eyes suddenly turned cold.

Lu Shaoyuan again? !

Why is he everywhere!

"Go to the Plum Garden." Mo Lingwei's purple-gold robe pressed over the grass under the steps, and it seemed to overwhelm it.

His back was dark and rushed over.
