Chapter 120 Lantern Festival Luncheon, Beiming Country Arrives
Shen Runing was startled when she heard the words "Noble Concubine Jing".
Luo Mian continued, "That portrait of Shen Rumeng was also placed there by Concubine Jing."
How could this happen? Could it be that Concubine Jing was the big boss hidden in the dark? It turned out that in the previous life, there were so many open and secret struggles that Shen Runing could not see.
Just when both of them were thinking.
Liu Qing fell violently from the beam.
"thump!"
It fell hard.
Shen Runing quickly stood up: "Liu Qing, are you okay?"
The second Waterloo in Liu Qing's career...
Liu Qing quickly stood up and apologized immediately: "I'm sorry, my lord, I'm sorry, young lady."
Luo Mian frowned and said, "Waste, go get twenty beatings!"
"How can you protect Ning'er when you are so irritable?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Shen Runing had long regarded Liu Qing as a friend. She could sense that Liu Qing must have encountered something, which was why he was distracted.
Shen Runing grabbed Liu Qing who was trying to get the board.
"Why do you only know how to beat people with a stick every day?"
Luomian?
"Ning'er, I..."
"Liu Qing is mine now. She can only listen to me and not you!"
Luo Mian stood up and walked to Shen Runing, his eyes full of joy.
"I am Ning'er's person too."
"I will only listen to you from now on."
"OK?"
Shen Runing's face suddenly turned red.
Liu Qing: Your Majesty, please don’t be like this. It’s too scary. I’ll go get the beatings. Is it not okay for me to get forty?
Liu Qing saluted with his arms crossed and hurriedly fled the Shura field.
The conversation between the two returned to the main topic.
"I heard that the prince of Beiming Kingdom has entered the palace?"
Luo Mian nodded.
"Just arrived in the evening." When mentioning Beiming Kingdom, Luo Mian's eyes became unfathomable.
"The Beiming Kingdom has always been unwilling to interact with other countries. I wonder what their purpose is this time?"
Luo Mian always felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.
"Could it be? They want to borrow troops from us?"
The war between Beiming Kingdom and its neighboring country A has lasted for so long that everyone has become accustomed to it.
Country A has a strong military force and adopts a tug-of-war approach, which is really too much for Country Beiming to handle.
But why come to Tianyan Kingdom to borrow troops?
The emperor would not rashly lend him troops without any reason. Wouldn't lending troops to Bei Ming mean standing against Country A in disguise?
When Shen Runing is thinking seriously, she looks like a cute kitten.
Luo Mian was wondering, how could he marry Shen Runing?
When facing Shen Runing, Luo Mian always plays straight.
"Ning'er?"
Shen Runing raised her eyes: "Hmm?"
"Will you marry me?"
?
Why don't you just ask her if she wants to have a baby for you? You can play it straight, but isn't this a bit too big?
The flickering candlelight seemed to reflect Shen Runing's thoughts.
"Hmm? Ning'er, why don't you speak?"
A pair of almond-shaped eyes full of affection stared at Shen Runing, with an expression that showed that he wished he could eat the person in front of him up right away.
Surrounded by Luo Mian's gaze, Shen Runing murmured.
"It's getting late, you should go back." After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
Luo Mian would never let her disappear from his side again.
He took a step forward, put his arms around Shen Runing's waist, and then buried his head in Shen Runing's neck.
"I want Ning'er to hold me." The voice was low and magnetic, but mixed with a hint of grievance.
Shen Runing slowly placed her hands on Luo Mian's strong back.
Luo Mian shuddered all over.
Ning'er really hugged me!
……
During the Lantern Festival, lights are hung and decorations are arranged.
The emperor held a luncheon in the palace to celebrate with his subjects.
Du Wenyun started jogging after seeing Shen Runing.
"Congratulations, cousin!"
"Congratulations, cousin!"
"Finally escaped from the clutches of the Fourth Prince!"
The maid following Du Wenyun was Taohua. Taohua's legs were not lame, which was a blessing in disguise.
Taohua is very grateful to Shen Runing and Du Wenyun.
Shen Runing took Du Wenyun's hand, and the two of them sat down chatting and laughing.
After a while, Ji Yun and Liao Jinrou also came to Shen Runing's side.
"Ning'er, thank you so much."
"Otherwise my mother will really be wrongly accused and killed!"
Shen Runing sent a letter to Ji Yun a few days ago, telling him what Doctor Li had said truthfully.
Shen Runing smiled and said, "How is your health lately, aunt?"
Ji Yun seemed to be in a good mood: "My mother's body has almost recovered, Ning'er, you are really amazing!"
Liao Jinrou on the side seemed a little absent-minded.
"Jinrou?" Du Wenyun called out, "What are you daydreaming about?"
Du Wenyun was a outspoken person. After she finished speaking, she remembered that Liao Jinyi was dead. Isn't this asking a question even though she already knew the answer? However, her mouth always spoke faster than her brain, and once she spoke, it was like water spilled, and could not be taken back.
Liao Jinrou's eyes were a little swollen, but it was not noticeable unless you looked closely.
Shen Runing could see that Liao Jinrou had deep feelings for her younger sister Liao Jinyi.
"I, I'm fine."
Liao Jinyi always felt that no one was truly kind to her, but if she could look back, she would find her sister Liao Jinrou who had always been following her.
However, she treated the only person she was good to as her enemy.
As time passed, more and more people came into the hall.
Shen Rumeng's clothes became more gorgeous, her face was flushed, and from time to time she tilted her head to talk to the prince. Tong Jia Ruyan, on the other hand, looked much more lonely.
Wei Jiuzhao still followed Shen Kuo like a follower, and Hao Chuan still couldn't help looking at Shen Kuo, and then the image of Shen Kuo's beautiful look in women's clothes emerged in his mind uncontrollably.
Luo Mian and the other two continued to hide in the corner.
The hall was bustling with activity.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
"See Your Majesty..."
Since having the company of noble lady You Ran, the emperor seemed to be eighteen years old again.
The emperor took Noble Lady Youran's hand and took a seat.
Everyone could see that the emperor really liked this noble lady.
Concubine Jing curled her lips and said, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, how can you, an emperor, do that in public?"
Luo Xunbei also looked at the Emperor and Concubine Youran, but unlike Concubine Jing, he was looking at Concubine Youran.
"The Beiming Kingdom has arrived!"
After the eunuch finished shouting, everyone turned their eyes to the door.
Beiming Kingdom is xenophobic and a very mysterious country.
Then two men and two women came into people's sight.
A man about the same age as Luo Mian was walking in front, with curly hair half tied up and half loose, wearing a turquoise robe, looking very scholarly. This was the prince of Beiming Kingdom, Ling Xun.
The man behind Ling Xun was about forty years old, with an upright figure and sharp eyes. This man was Ling Xun's uncle, Chu Tianji.
Next is Ling Xun’s sister, Ling Hui.
Everyone has more or less heard of Princess Ling Hui of Beiming Kingdom. When Ling Hui was a teenager, she was sent to Country A as a hostage. She suffered a lot and was humiliated a lot, so her heart gradually became distorted.
Only when the two countries went to war did Ling Hui have the opportunity to return to Beiming.
Everyone was puzzled. What was Ling Hui's purpose in coming here?
Behind the three people followed a woman, who was not very old and dressed in ordinary clothes. She looked like a maid. The woman kept her head down, so her appearance was not very clear.
After standing in line, the four of them performed the Tianyan Kingdom's etiquette.
"See Your Majesty."
When the emperor learned that the prince of Beiming Kingdom was coming, he was a little surprised, but more of it was displeasure.
Everyone knows that Bei Ming and Country A are at war. Now they suddenly come to Tian Yan Country. No matter why they come, Country A will be dissatisfied with Tian Yan Country.
The emperor didn't want to get involved in this mess.
But people who come here are guests. Can a great country like China drive them away?
"Please take a seat!"
"Your Majesty, I suddenly feel unwell, so I will go back first." Concubine Jing, who was still full of energy just now, suddenly spoke.
The emperor turned around and saw that Concubine Jing was pale and did not look well.
"Okay, remember to ask the imperial physician to check you out."
"Yes."
Then, with the help of the maid, she stood up tremblingly and left the hall.
……
Concubine Jing walked on the bluestone road as if she had lost her soul, and the things in front of her eyes were gradually blurred by her tears.
"How could it be him?"
"Isn't he dead?"
