Chapter 139 The Prince Returns
It seems that the Princess Consort of Prince Ning's Mansion is actually a peacemaker by nature.
Everyone thought to themselves that as long as they did not commit any heinous crimes in Prince Ning's Mansion, they would live a peaceful and wealthy life.
Before leaving Chuxiu Palace, Shen Yuyao said, "Today's disturbance ends with this incident. No one should stir up trouble again."
Shen Yuyao paused, looked at the ladies, and reminded them, "The prince will be back soon, so you ladies should think more about how to please the prince!"
......
Another night of heavy snow.
The next day would be Xia Xiaoxian's second birthday. Shen Yuyao stood in front of the window of the bedroom in Jingyang Palace, thinking about what fun thing to give her little fairy baby.
It was white outside the window. On the red plum tree in the yard, there were one or two early-ripening plum blossoms, showing a bit of joy.
But for some reason, Shen Yuyao began to feel vaguely uneasy since she got up in the morning, and her right eyelid was twitching.
I thought for a long time about what good things to give to the little fairy, but I still couldn't think of an idea.
Her intuition told her that today was not ordinary and it seemed like something was going to happen.
Shen Yuyao calmed herself down and was about to sit down on the soft chair when she heard a burst of hurried footsteps, breaking the tranquility of the bedroom.
"Miss, ma'am!"
It was Zi Su's voice, a little hurried and a little excited, "Prince Ning, the prince is back!"
Shen Yuyao was shocked, knowing that Xia Yu was going back to Beijing, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
"Where are people?"
Shen Yuyao raised her eyes and looked at Zi Su who was just walking in through the curtain, and asked softly.
"Xiao Huanzi from the front yard went to the city gate to welcome the prince early in the morning. He asked other servants to pass on the message that the prince will be here in about an hour!"
Shen Yuyao was not too excited, and asked calmly: "Does the little princess know?"
"The little princess doesn't know yet, I'll go tell her right away!"
"Go ahead. Also, have Bai Zhi pass the message to Chu Xiu Palace and Zhong Cui Palace. Have them all come with me to the gate to welcome the prince in half an hour!"
"Slave, go now!"
Seeing Zi Su happily walking out of the side hall, Shen Yuyao hurriedly tidied her dress and applied a little rouge.
When Shen Yuyao walked out of the bedroom, she suddenly discovered that the entire Prince Ning's Mansion seemed to be activated by something.
There are people everywhere.
Human voices can be heard everywhere.
Maids and servants were walking around in the corridors, front yards and back yards.
It seems that the servants are busy making various preparations for their master to welcome Prince Ning back home.
Even all the chimneys on the kitchen roof were emitting smoke.
In less than half an hour, all the snow on the roads in Prince Ning's Mansion was cleared away.
When Shen Yuyao walked to the front hall, Xu Yunxuan was already waiting in the hall holding Xia Xiaoxian's hand.
"Yunxuan, even you are lively today." Shen Yuyao joked.
Ever since she went out to tell fortunes that day, Xu Yunxuan rarely left her Zhongcui Palace, burying herself in piles of books every day.
Shen Yuyao once went to see her when she had time, and she said that she had never studied so hard even for the college entrance examination.
college entrance examination?
Shen Yuyao didn't understand and asked Xu Yunxuan what the college entrance examination meant.
Xu Yunxuan replied that it was similar to the imperial examination in the Great Xia Dynasty today. Ordinary people could only have a slightly smooth life if they passed the college entrance examination.
It turns out that every world is the same.
"Of course I have. I haven't seen the prince for a long time. Not to mention that the prince has done me a favor, even if we are just ordinary friends, I will miss you." Xu Yunxuan spoke directly as usual, "Could it be you, Princess?"
Xu Yunxuan felt that the air suddenly smelled of lemon.
[My mother should be happy that my father has returned home. ]
[Your complexion looks rosier than usual.]
When Shen Yuyao heard Xia Xiaoxian's thoughts, her face turned even redder.
"Your Highness, you're blushing, hahaha..."
Xu Yunxuan also saw it, and Shen Yuyao couldn't help but chuckle.
The two continued to joke with each other for a few more words, and the group of young masters in red and green from Chuxiu Palace came to the front hall one after another.
Shen Yuyao put on a serious and cold expression again, and the mistress looked like a grandmother!
After greeting Shen Yuyao and Xu Yunxuan, everyone followed the two to the gate of the palace.
Although spring began before the first month of this year, it was still chilly. Shen Yuyao couldn't help but shrink her neck as she stood at the gate.
Except for her and Xu Yunxuan, all the other ladies were wearing formal dresses.
Those who came from the Li Dynasty were all wearing the most formal formal clothes of the Li Dynasty.
Shen Yuyao couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed that the advice she gave that day was still very useful.
As a concubine, if you want to be superior to others, the best strategy is to gain the favor of the prince.
Everyone stood in the wind and waited for about a quarter of an hour. Then they heard a burst of hurried horse hooves and could see from afar that Prince Ning Xia Yu was riding his black warhorse and galloping towards the gate of the palace.
"Xu..."
Prince Ning was filled with surprise when he saw Shen Yuyao coming to greet him outside the palace.
Just as Xia Yu turned over and dismounted, walking towards Shen Yuyao with a smile, there was suddenly a tense feeling in the air.
"laugh......"
A masked man in black floated down from the gate of the palace like a ghost, with the sword in his hand pointing directly at Xia Yu's face.
A burst of women's screams broke out in the crowd, and red and green dresses fluttered everywhere.
A cold light flashed in Shen Yuyao's eyes, and the soft sword at her waist stabbed towards the black shadow.
Her figure was as graceful as a swallow, and with a leap she lightly stood in front of Xia Yu. The man in black only saw a flash before his eyes, and a lavender dress flew towards him along with the sword shadow.
The masked man in black whistled, then lowered his body and started a fierce battle with Shen Yuyao.
Xia Yu was stunned for a moment by the sudden change in front of him.
After being tense for several months, Xia Yu finally relaxed completely when he returned to Prince Ning's Mansion and saw Princess Shen Yuyao personally coming out to greet him.
But just when Xia Yu was most relaxed, something unexpected happened suddenly.
Xia Yu cursed in his heart!
Originally, he was anxious to see Xia Xiaoxian and Shen Yuyao, so he left his generals behind and ran all the way to the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion.
Prince Ning is left alone!
Xia Yu's eyes were full of surprise and doubt. Who could have calculated so accurately and assassinated him at this moment that no one would have expected?
Xia Yu was just about to kill the man in black when he suddenly felt a chill coming from a long sword behind him.
There was no time to turn around, so he could only touch the ground with his feet, flip over, and climb back onto the horse's back.
When he turned around to look again, he saw seven or eight black shadows behind him, attacking him from several directions, forming a siege.
Over there, Shen Yuyao also saw that Xia Yu was in deep danger. Her sword suddenly emitted an icy determination. Amidst the flying sword flowers, the man in black was stabbed by the sword and fell to the ground.
Shen Yuyao didn't even check the injuries of the man in black. She quickly swung her sword and attacked the masked men in black who surrounded Xia Yu.
