Chapter 445: You like jade, I'm coming
Mo Lingwei nodded slightly and looked at the King of Shu. His tone was a little cold.
"I heard that the jade plaque worn by Concubine Qi on her birthday was bought from my uncle? And the only thing in my hands is a string of rope given by my uncle?"
King Shu hugged Princess Shu with a smile on his face. When he heard Mo Lingwei's question, his eyes froze.
Princess Shu was also a little embarrassed.
She said helpfully: "It's all a misunderstanding. We have made it clear."
Shen Ningning snorted quietly.
The King of Shu said even more seriously: "Last time, I didn't think carefully. I only thought about the filial piety of the Ninth Prince, but I forgot to explain it to my wife."
Mo Lingwei frowned coldly: "This is not a matter of explanation, but uncle, you can't do this. My aunt is your wife, and what you give her should be unparalleled and precious."
"How can you buy a jade plaque, give the precious jade to others, but leave the rope to excuse your wife? My aunt has been with you for many years. Uncle, please don't do anything that is embarrassing."
Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes silently beside her, watching Mo Lingwei scold the King of Shu.
Even though Mo Lingwei was a junior, what he said made the King of Shu lower his head and keep admitting that he was confused.
Princess Shu felt sorry for her husband and could not help but smooth things over: "Ling Wei, your uncle treats me sincerely. He has been treating me like this for so many years. You see, just for this birthday, he has put so much effort and effort into it."
The King of Shu smiled softly and looked at each other with the Princess of Shu. The exchange of looks between the couple would only make outsiders feel sweet.
However, Mo Lingwei pursed his thin lips and his handsome eyes were dark and light.
"Auntie, my uncle is a prince. Arranging your birthday banquet is just a matter of lip service. The errand boy has his own servants. What can he do?"
Shen Ningning nodded desperately.
Brother simply spoke to the bottom of her heart!
Although the King of Shu planted lotuses everywhere in the capital, he planted them everywhere.
However, he just gave an order, and there was a dedicated person in charge of these lotus flowers. From the gardener to the steward, the King of Shu did not need to worry about it.
How sincere can you be to show your sincerity to outsiders?
Mo Lingwei only said a few words. Seeing that King Shu was a little uncomfortable, he said: "Auntie is your wife. Uncle, you should treat her well."
Having said that, it happened that an old friend came to the palace, and the King of Shu and his wife went to greet him.
Mo Lingwei took Shen Ningning to the back garden where the banquet was held.
The little girl raised her eyes and saw the stern look on Mo Lingwei's profile. She couldn't help but ask, "Brother, don't you like your uncle the most? Why are you so cruel to him?"
Mo Lingwei sneered and walked into the deserted pavilion with Shen Ningning and sat down.
Facing the sparkling rockery stream beside him, he pursed his lips and said, "My uncle treats me well, but my aunt treats me even more kindly."
After the death of the late Queen, for a while, it was Princess Shu who came to visit Mo Lingwei carrying a food box.
He didn't eat or drink, so she was like a mother, sitting with him all day long and trying her best to enlighten him.
The Princess of Shu was sincere in her treatment of others, and her relationship with the King of Shu also set an example in Mo Lingwei's heart.
He hoped that his uncle and aunt could always maintain such a sweet love, and not let her down like his father failed his mother.
Shen Ningning suddenly realized.
Mo Lingwei looked at the little girl and smiled helplessly: "Did you know that my eldest aunt was not infertile at first, but she was pregnant with a child, but when she was seven months pregnant, she accidentally fell down and had a miscarriage."
Shen Ningning suddenly opened her eyes wide: "So there are physical wounds?"
Seven-month-old fetuses, as the old saying goes, "seven are alive and eight are not alive", those are the children who can be born.
Unexpectedly, it was stillborn.
Mo Lingwei nodded: "After this incident, her health became very poor and she has been unable to conceive. This is a knot between her and my uncle."
Fortunately, in all these years, his uncle, the King of Shu, had never had any concubines.
Shen Ningning hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Brother, if one day the King of Shu changes his mind and he has another woman outside, you..."
She hadn't finished speaking, and Mo Lingwei's eyebrows had become sharp and sharp.
"Then I will strip him of his title and see if the women outside will still be willing to follow him who has nothing?" Shen Ningning was about to speak, but Mo Lingwei calmed down and smiled naturally.
He reached out and touched Shen Ningning's head.
"Don't worry. Although my uncle is confused sometimes, his feelings for my aunt should be true."
Shen Ningning licked her pink lips silently: "Well, I hope so."
It seems that she still can't tell Mo Lingwei that she saw King Shu and Concubine Qi hugging each other in the bamboo forest that day.
The banquet was about to begin, and Mo Lingwei took the little girl's hand.
"The men and women will eat separately for a while. When the meal is finished, you wait for me in the pavilion."
After the banquet, as Mo Lingwei was the prince, many high-ranking nobles took the opportunity to get acquainted with him.
Shen Ningning followed the agreement and waited for Mo Lingwei to come over in the previous pavilion.
Just when she was bored, the Ninth Prince and Mo Zhirou walked together again.
Mo Zhirou was holding something in her hand and placed it in the Ninth Prince's hand.
Her smile was gentle and shy, and she would steal glances at the Ninth Prince from time to time, and then she would cover her lips and snicker.
Shen Ningning curled her lips, her pretty face showing disdain.
She turned her head away, trying to pretend she didn't see them.
Unexpectedly, Mo Zhirou saw her and raised her voice in a panic: "Nine, Your Highness, this is the mosquito repellent sachet I made. I gave one to my mother before. She said it was very effective."
“That’s why I made another one. Please bring it to Concubine Qi. I hope she likes it.”
After Mo Zhirou said that, he looked at Shen Ningning frequently.
Shen Ningning heard their discussion and felt like a mirror in her heart.
This is what I told her on purpose because I was afraid that the jade card incident would happen again.
Hum, she doesn't care.
The Ninth Prince understood and nodded to Mo Zhirou with a gentle voice: "For your kindness, I will first thank you on behalf of my mother and concubine."
“Let’s go find my uncle now. I heard that he has prepared a treasure today to give to the guests at the banquet. It seems to be a rare blood jade bracelet.”
The Ninth Prince glanced at Shen Ningning, and his tone was somewhat inexplicable: "I heard before that a jade bracelet you liked very much when you were young was broken, so I was going to ask him for it and give you the blood jade bracelet. , do you like it?"
Mo Zhirou was flattered, her eyes sparkling like a deer.
"Is it really possible? Then... thank you, Your Highness."
The Ninth Prince smiled slightly: "After all, you and I have a close affinity. If I don't help you, who else can I help?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Shen Ningning sitting in the pavilion. As if she thought he was making noise, the little girl actually blocked her ears with two fingers!
Even closed her eyes!
Looking like he doesn’t listen to the **** chanting sutras.
The Ninth Prince's face suddenly darkened.
At this moment, Mo Lingwei walked out of the garden where the male guests were sitting, holding a brocade box.
He directly passed the Ninth Prince and Mo Zhirou and walked towards Shen Ningning, with a frivolous smile on his cold and handsome eyebrows:
"Shen Ningning, my uncle has a blood jade bracelet. I asked him for it. You will definitely like it."
Mo Zhirou’s face suddenly became extremely ugly!
Her eyes were fixed on the box in Mo Lingwei's hand.
The blood jade that the Ninth Prince was talking about was actually captured by the Crown Prince first?
