Chapter 64: Proposal

Author: Raising cats every year

The sound of rain in the west city gradually stopped, and Shu Ningyou wore Mili and got off the carriage with the help of the maid.

Shu Ningyou turned straight into the alley, where there was an inconspicuous old book shop hidden. The two story books in Shu Ningyou were found from this old book shop.

Unfortunately, the story is too thin, and most of the plot revolves around the princess and the prince, so there is not much information that can be extracted. In the past two days, Shu Ningyou has devoted himself to researching in the boudoir and found that many directions seem to be similar to reality, but have undergone many changes. For example, in reality, Shu Yao favors a low-ranking guard, and the Xie family has lost the favor of Emperor Yong.

After thinking about it, Shu Ningyou decided to come to this old book shop again to try his luck.

She almost turned the old books upside down, but couldn't find what she wanted. Shu Ning Youxin walked out of the shop unwillingly and saw a few snakeskin bags piled up randomly at the corner.

She hurriedly said, "Are the books here for sale?"

The owner of the old book shop had a square face, but his eyes were deep, his nose was high, and his eyes were sharp like a hawk, which reminded Shu Ningyou of the rumored barbarians, who looked very fierce and difficult to get close to.

His voice was also squinting: "This is the product I just arrived, what do you want?"

Shu Ningyou just said that she could take a look at it casually, and took the snakeskin bag apart, choking her face full of dust. She carefully searched it and finally found the third volume of "The Legend of the World" in a thick book.

She was delighted, picked a few books and stuffed them into her arms, threw a few taels of silver onto the counter, "I want all these, don't need to find them."

The boss glanced at her strangely.

Shu Ningyou held the book and walked onto the carriage quickly. She looked around and ordered as if nothing had happened: "Go back to your house."

The groom respectfully said ok.

Shu Ningyou leaned against the window, dusted off the dust from the book, and looked around.

The emperor's birthday was approaching. In order to celebrate the emperor's birthday, the prince agreed to his preferences and bought a painting as a gift to the emperor.

The author of this painting is named Qingyan. He is from a low-level background. He made a living by selling paintings. He received guidance from experts and became famous. He was highly sought after by famous painters in the capital. A painting was sold for a high price. This painting is exquisitely conceived, showing the author's skills to reach the pinnacle.

It was just by chance that the prince bought the painting, but this work made the emperor happy and the princess became closer to the prince.

Is there a painter named "Qingyan" in today's capital?

The carriage drove all the way into the Qinyang Hou Mansion, Shu Ningyou got off with a few books and returned to the yard where she lived.

Just as he was about to enter the house, Shu Ningyou paused and saw Pan sitting in her room.

Shu Ningyou and Pan's mother had only average relationship. In the past, she showed that her mother was kind and filial to her daughter in front of Shu Yao, but she was just to exclude Shu Yao.

When she was very young, Shu Ningyou knew that Pan preferred her younger brother Shu Ningzhi. When she was born, she hated her that she was not a son, and she always wanted to find an opportunity to send her out secretly.

Because Qin Yanghou was ashamed of Shu Yao, he devoted his love for Shu Yao to Shu Ningyou and regarded her as Shu Yao's shadow. Pan taught Shu Ningyou harshly since childhood. Shu Yao knew nothing about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so Shu Ningyou must be proficient in everything and be the best student.

Shu Ningyou is jealous of Shu Yao from the bottom of her heart.

If Pan is the wife of Qin Yanghou, or she is also the eldest princess' daughter, she can live a relaxed and free life like Shu Yao. But she is nothing, and she must do her best to play the role of a good daughter.

But it doesn't matter, she will grab all of these.

Shu Ningyou pretended to be surprised and smiled softly: "Why is my mother here?"

According to the rules of the back house, Shu Ningyou should have called Pan the concubine, but the concubine was the most taboo name of Pan. Therefore, in private, Shu Ningyou called Pan the mother very properly.

"I heard that you often leave the house recently," Pan smiled carelessly, "Where did you go today?"

Shu Ningyou said: "Just just go to the book shop and buy some stories..."

But Pan threw the letter on the table.

It is a correspondence between Shu Ningyou and Xie Yanzhou.

"My daughter is really capable. I don't even know that your relationship with Prince Xie is so good?"

Pan smiled, but his eyes slowly narrowed.

At that time in Qiu Hunting, she was having a conflict with Qin Yanghou. Qin Yanghou brought Li Qingchu, but Pan did not arrive. She also asked the servants and found out that Shu Ningyou had walked out of the hunting ground with Xie Yanzhou that day.

Only then did Pan realize that his daughter had been out of the house recently. When she asked her husband, she also found that Shu Ningyou had often received letters recently. Pan opened and checked, and found that the signature on the opposite side was Shu Yao's childhood sweetheart, Xie Yanzhou.

Pan himself took office from his concubine, so how could he not know what his daughter was doing?

Shu Ningyou has been pretending to be a good girl in front of Pan for so many years, and she knows so much about her. She immediately knelt down before she got angry, "Mom, don't be angry! My daughter just wants to share her worries!"

Pan smiled strangely: "Share the worries?"

"My daughter had accidentally heard that her father was worried about congratulating His Majesty's birthday, so she thought of writing a letter to ask Prince Xie. Prince Xie said that the Xie family was also preparing gifts for His Majesty recently and sent someone to inquire. His Majesty has recently admired the works of a painter named 'Qingyan'."

Isn't this a coincidence?

Pan happened to have a shop in his hand, selling four treasures of the study. If he was really a painter in the capital, Mo Yuxuan's shopkeeper must have heard of his name.

Now that her relationship with Qin Yanghou is gradually recovering, Pan is about to take the opportunity to send a gift to reconcile with Qin Yanghou.

She smiled gently: "It's because I'm wrong about you. Get up quickly."

Shu Ningyou lowered her head, "Yes, mother."

Fortunately, Pan only saw the letters and did not find those few stories.

No one will find that she is pushing behind the scenes, she just needs to hide herself.

...

Shu Yao was sleeping in a daze, feeling that someone was taking off her shoes and socks. She couldn't help but kicked her over and muttered, "Don't touch this princess, get out of here..."

This is the case with the disciple in the dream. She was so tired that she had to catch her leg by him. She had to torture her until she was crying before she could give up.

If she kicked him, he would smile and say, "The princess still has so much strength, so come again."

Li Mingji grabbed her ankle with ease and whispered, "Princess, I'm a subordinate."

Hearing the familiar and gentle voice, Shu Yao remembered that the person around her was not the hateful disciple, but the personal bodyguard she personally selected, and her brows gradually stretched.

The divine in the dream rarely speaks. I guess she knows that her voice is bad and will scare her.

But his behavior can only be described as bad.

Something seemed to have flashed in my mind. Was Li Mingji the one who grabbed her ankle just now? It felt so familiar, like in a dream.

Shu Yao frowned in confusion, but couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep again in a daze.
