Chapter 557: If You Feel Sour in Your Mouth, You Won’t Feel Sour in Your Heart

Xie Suzhi said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Your Highness and my daughter have been childhood sweethearts and have grown up together. I know that Your Highness treats my daughter differently in his heart.

"It's a pity that my daughter doesn't have this blessing to cherish. Now she is looking for another good husband. I hope Your Highness will not make things difficult for her. I would like to think that Your Highness has devoted all his energy to handling government affairs, and I only hope that Your Highness can calm down."

With a crisp "pop" sound, Mo Lingwei put the teacup heavily on the table.

"Thank you, Prime Minister," he said in a cold voice: "Are you afraid that I will make things difficult for them, so you come here to make peace?"

Xie Suzhi bowed: "Your Highness is wise. ”

Who in the whole capital doesn’t know about Mo Lingwei’s temper?

The fact that Shen Ningning had a big fight with him in the National Academy had long been heard by Xie Suzhi.

Originally, Xie Suzhi thought that this was a matter between the younger generation and it was not convenient for him to intervene.

However, when he heard that two people almost fought in the National Academy, he had to take the initiative and come forward.

“Your Highness, you are born noble and now you are in power. I believe that it won’t be long before you will become the new emperor of Cangyun Kingdom.”

“By then, all the virtuous women in the whole Cangyun Kingdom will be available for you to choose. My daughter has already chosen the Lu family, so please be kind and don’t make things difficult for them.”

“It’s really unnecessary to make a big fuss, and it will hurt your original friendship.”

When Mo Lingwei heard this, he sneered.

“Prime Minister Xie, I understand. Today you are here to persuade me to give up Shen Ningning. "

Xie Suzhi nodded, without commenting.

Besides, he heard that today was the banquet for selecting concubines, and hundreds of ladies entered the palace. Could it be that there was no one that the prince liked?

Mo Lingwei stood up and walked to Xie Suzhi step by step.

He was no longer a child of eight or nine years old, but a prince in power who was half a head taller than Xie Suzhi.

"Then Prime Minister Xie, listen to me carefully. I will not let it go. You should also go back and tell Shen Ningning that as long as she steps into the door of the Lu family, I will tie her back at all costs. I want to see how many people in the Lu family dare to snatch the crown princess!"

Xie Suzhi was shocked and raised his head. Seeing Mo Lingwei's dark eyes, he knew that he was not joking.

That's what he planned!

"Your Highness, if you do this, my daughter will never feel happy. Don't you feel distressed when you see her crying all day long? "

Mo Lingwei turned around and took two steps forward. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he said coldly with his hands behind his back: "I would rather she cry and be sad, as long as she can stay with me. I can't take care of the rest for the time being."

Xie Suzhi pursed his lips, his face darkened.

For his daughter, he could do anything.

Since Mo Lingwei was so unwilling, Xie Suzhi was worried about Shen Ningning staying in the capital.

It seems that he has to find a way to resign and help Ningning and Lu Shaoyuan escape.

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is determined to do what he wants and refuses to listen to advice, I dare not say anything more. I will take my leave now."

Xie Suzhi bowed and turned to leave. Mo Lingwei looked back at his back and called the secret guard.

"Keep an eye on Xie Suzhi. Tell me immediately if he makes any unusual moves."

"Yes. "

The next day.

Mo Lingwei was handling government affairs when he heard someone wanted to see him.

After asking, it turned out to be Ye Shangyi.

She asked her grandfather, the Grand Tutor, to take her into the palace. She didn't know what was going on, but she had to tell Mo Lingwei in person.

This time, Mo Lingwei didn't invite her in immediately like he did when he met Xie Suzhi.

Instead, he waited for an incense stick of time before Ye Shangyi entered the Zichen Palace as she wished.

In the study, refreshing smoke was spewing out from the mouth of the golden beast.

Ye Shangyi came in and asked, "Your Highness, I heard that you are going to have dinner with Miss Meng soon. Is this true!"

Mo Lingwei raised his eyes lazily: "No one taught you the rules? Why don't you show respect when you see me? "

In the past, he never used these things to embarrass Shen Ningning's friends, but now, he treats them equally.

Ye Shangyi paused, greeted stiffly, and then said: "Your Highness, you must not dine with Miss Meng, otherwise, what will Ningning think?"

"What Miss Meng, please explain yourself clearly. "Mo Lingwei put down the red pen, his attitude was cold.

Ye Shangyi didn't expect that he didn't know yet?

"At the banquet for selecting concubines that day, I heard that you chose Miss Meng's Ci Pai Ling. Now the whole capital has spread. She is very likely to become your crown princess, but Your Highness, Ningning knows that Miss Meng is not a good match. You can choose anyone, why must it be her?"

Mo Lingwei finally understood what was going on.

He raised his eyebrows. From what Ye Shangyi said, Shen Ningning didn't like this Meng Wan Ning either?

After choosing the Ci Pai Ling last time, he put this matter behind his mind.

Almost forgot.

Seeing Ye Shangyi's excited face, Mo Lingwei said coldly: "Don't you understand what the situation is now? Shen Ningning is going to get engaged to Lu Shaoyuan, so who I dine with has nothing to do with her. "

Ye Shangyi said anxiously: "How can that be! It's even more embarrassing. Meng Wan Ning and Lu Shaoyuan are still distant relatives. How should you get along with Ningning when you meet in the future. "

Hearing this, Mo Lingwei's eyes darkened.

So there is such a relationship?

After a while, Mo Lingwei said: "I know, you can go back."

Ye Shangyi thought she had convinced him and left with peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, Mo Lingwei still met Meng Wanning as usual, had a meal with her, and rewarded her with a crabapple hairpin.

Meng Wan Ning was so proud that she wore a hairpin every day when she went out. Many ladies gathered around her, and everyone praised Meng Wan Ning for winning the prince's favor.

I'm just afraid good things are coming.

Ye Changyi went to Xiangyun Village to find Shen Ningning. In the past few days, Shen Ningning had not left the house and was hiding in Xiangyun Village, a paradise-like place.

When Ye Changyi left, Shen Ningning was taking care of her loquat tree in the village house.

The girl climbed up the ladder and picked a few loquats. They were not in season yet and the loquats were very sour now.

Ye Changyi helped her hold the ladder and kept complaining.

"What do you think the prince thinks? Are you mad at me? Meng Wan Ning, a woman who is always busy, he doesn't refuse."

"I told you that you would be embarrassed. He also met Meng Wan Ning. Do you know how arrogant Meng Wan Ning is now? Just because the prince gave her a begonia hairpin, she made all the begonias in the capital bloom for her alone. ”

"If they see a young lady wearing a begonia hairpin, the friends surrounding her will immediately make things difficult for her. There is no news from the palace, but Meng Wan Ning's attitude seems to be that she is destined to be the crown princess."

Ye Changyi talked for a long time, but Shen Ningning didn't respond.

She raised her head and saw the girl's slim figure, carrying a basket and picking the yellow leaves next to the loquats.

Ye Changyi couldn't see her expression, but could only see her smooth, white and small jaw.

"Ning Ning, I've said so much, but you haven't reacted at all. Are you really not angry?"

Shen Ningning suddenly threw a loquat into her arms.

"Try it, it's really sweet."

Ye Changyi muttered: "What time has it been? I am not in the mood to eat loquats. When I think of this villain Meng Wan Ning's success, I am afraid that she will bully us two in the future."

Even so, she peeled off the skin and took a bite.

The next second, his whole face wrinkled.

"Ah ah! I'm so sour! Ning Ning, you're making me whine..." Ye Changyi spit out everything.

Shen Ningning covered her lips and laughed: "It'll be better if your mouth is sore, so it won't hurt your heart. I've eaten two."

Ye Changyi heard something in her words and suddenly felt that Shen Ningning was not as calm as she appeared on the face.

Shen Ningning sat on the ladder, looking at the bright sun not far away.

The houses are adjacent to each other, creating a harmonious and beautiful scene.

She smiled sadly and said: "Actually, it's quite good like this now. Everything is going according to plan. It's best that my brother won't worry about my affairs anymore."

Ye Changyi was stunned when he heard this, shook his head and sighed: "You are quite reasonable."

At this moment, Shen Ningning was sitting high up and saw someone coming in from the entrance of the village.

She went down the ladder: "Lu Shaoyuan is here, don't say these words in front of him again."

Ye Changyi yelled and saw Lu Shaoyuan coming with a happy face. Before he got there, he couldn't wait to get off his horse.

"Ning Ning!" He greeted him happily: "Today my mother took me to the Chamber of Commerce. I took the initiative to take over the work of more than a dozen shops. We are about to get engaged. I will work hard in the future to prevent you from suffering with me. ”

Shen Ningning took out the handkerchief: "Don't you come back tomorrow? You're in such a hurry, look at the sweat on your forehead."

"I want to share this good news with you right away." Lu Shaoyuan smiled with white teeth and black eyebrows, looking extremely happy.

Ye Changyi rubbed her shoulders, and she began to wonder if she really said the wrong thing just now.

Looking at the way Shen Ningning and Lu Shaoyuan get along, they seem to really like each other.

"Ning Ning, tomorrow we go to the city to pick out a house. Buy whichever one you like. If you like a certain street, buy that street."

Shen Ningning was slightly distracted. After she realized what she was doing, she smiled softly.

"Okay, Chang Yi, let's go too."

"Ah? I'm going too? Wouldn't it be a bit unsightly for me to go with you two when you choose a new house? Besides... I have something to do tomorrow and won't be able to go. Ningning, ask Xiaowei to accompany you."

Ye Changyi was embarrassed to tell Shen Ningning that she had made an appointment with Xu Jingxi to come to Ye Mansion to have tea with her grandfather.

Shen Ningning didn't force it. She sent someone to tell Qi Xiuwei that night, and Xiaowei happily agreed.

However, when the three of them went to see the house together the next day, they encountered Pei Yin standing outside the mansion, waiting for the three of them.
