Chapter 129

“You don’t think it’s that simple?” Jun Qianye seemed to be interested as she looked at Nangong Ning with her dark eyes.

Nangong Ning was shrouded in his eyes and felt his cheeks tighten. Why did she feel that Jun Qianye’s eyes were a little strange?

Where did she do something wrong?

No way!

“Grandfather Wang, I think it’s not simple, so I specifically came to tell the prince. Do you want someone to investigate?” Nangong Ning asked carefully under the other party’s strong aura.

Jun Qianye snorted coldly but asked, “Nangong Ning, since you thought something was wrong at the time, why didn’t you listen to Nangong Qingyao’s words?”

“Ah?” Nangong Ning couldn’t turn around.

At that time, the maid blocked Nangong Qingyao’s mouth and she had no intention of listening to her.

Why did she do this then?

After recalling it, Nangong Ning himself didn’t understand.

Jun Qianye looked at her, her lips curled up with a hint of mockery, “You just didn’t hear her finish because you think this has nothing to do with you, right?”

Nangong Ning was stunned and thought about what Jun Qianye said. Then she realized that he was right.

In her heart, she had always felt that she wouldn’t marry Jun Qianye. It was mainly because Jun Qianye didn’t want to marry her, so she didn’t pay attention to her shouting at the time.

“Grandfather Wang, I…” Nangong Ning wanted to explain, but when he heard the words, she was too poor.

They had seen through her thoughts, yet she was still trying to explain herself?

“Nimby, so you don’t pay attention to it. Then why are you here to tell me what these are for?” Jun Qianye clenched her eyes and stared at Nangong Ning.

Nangong Ning gritted his teeth and simply said, “I really think I don’t care about my business, so I didn’t hear her finish. But Wang Hao, I’m here to tell you all this. It’s a good idea.”

Jun Qianye asked coldly, “A piece of kindness?” This king didn’t feel it at all.

When Nangong Ning heard this, he wanted to explode. She was kind enough to not even be as good as her!

“Anyway, I told the prince what to do. It’s better for the prince to decide by himself. I’m going back.”

Then she flung her sleeves and walked out.

Jun Qianye said coldly, “I’ll learn from Aunt Duan these days.”

When Nangong Ning heard this, her legs softened and she almost fell to the ground. She gritted her teeth and snorted. She practically ran out.

Jun Qianye looked up at her and when no one could see it, the corners of her lips lifted slightly, revealing a strange expression, like a smile.

Nangong Ning trotted back to his courtyard in one go, and Wen Wan came up to greet him. Seeing as Nangong Ning looked like someone was chasing after her, she was shocked.

“Miss Nangong, are you okay?”

“It’s okay, it’s just that she left too fast,” Nangong Ning said with some lingering fear.

Wen Wan did not hesitate and quickly poured Nangong Ning a cup of flower tea. Nangong Ning asked, “Have you arranged for Aunt Duan?”

Wen Wan nodded and said, “It’s arranged. Aunty lives in the side of our courtyard in order to make it easier for her to teach her.”

Nangong Ning nodded. She liked Aunt Duan very much now, so she didn’t refuse her to live in her yard, but… she looked up at Ning Fei, who was standing a few steps away with a cold face.

“This girl…”

“What about her?” Aunt Duan said that Ning Fei would follow Khai closely in the future, so she stayed here, “Namef4 looked at Ning Fei and explained.

Nangong Ning looked at Ning Fei. The little girl was dressed in green and had a beautiful face. Apart from the coldness on her face, she was actually a very pleasing little girl.

Thinking about her martial arts, Nangong Ning was delighted.

Su Yuan had high martial arts, but after all, between the sexes there should be a prudent reserve. With Ning Fei, it would be more convenient for her to act in the future.

However, Ning Fei belonged to Prince Regent. If she wanted to leave, she couldn’t take her away.

After thinking about it, Nangong Ning said to Wen Wan, “You can arrange a place for her.”

Wen Wan nodded and said, “The hot water is ready. Is Miss bathing now?”

“Yes,” Nangong Ning said immediately.

She had been sweating in cold sweat when she was in front of Jun Qianye just now. She was very uncomfortable, so it was best to wash.

After the shower, Nangong Ning rested.

The next day, Aunt Duan still came to teach Nangong Ning how to study affairs.

Although Nangong Ning did not want to learn, he could not refuse Aunt Duan’s wholeheartedly. Moreover, Aunt Duan’s teaching was easier to accept, so she obediently followed.

While learning, Nangong Ning was immersed in it.

Once a person was focused, they wouldn’t feel that time was sad. So when Aunt Duan said that she had finished teaching and asked Nangong Ning to prepare, Nangong Ning realized that it was already three days before the wedding.

Aunt Duan looked at Nangong Ning and said seriously, “The princess is smart. Although this servant only taught the princess for ten days, the princess will definitely manage our mansion in the future.”

Nangong Ning smiled guiltily.

Aunt Duan added, “Tomorrow, the consort is going to Fengyi Palace to get married. This servant can’t follow, but the consort can bring Ning Fei.”

Nangong Ning almost forgot about this. When he heard Aunt Duan speak, he blurted out, “Why can’t Aunty accompany me?”

To stay in Fengyi Palace for three days? She didn’t think this was a pleasant thing.

Queen Xun had been very polite to her from the beginning, but it was obvious that there was a reason and she had some use, which really made it difficult for her to really like Queen Xun.

What’s more, there was her ‘enemy’ in the palace, Concubine An, who was taken down.

The last time, the Emperor had given her a light punishment. However, no matter how light it was, Concubine An definitely hated her to death.

She was not sure if Concubine An would continue to act as a demon, but it was the truth that a gentleman wasn’t standing under the wall. She really didn’t want to go to the harem.

However, if Aunt Duan was by her side, Nangong Ning would feel a sense of security. As for why she believed Aunt Duan so much, she couldn’t figure it out. She only thought that Kalan could protect her.

Aunt Duan smiled and said, “This servant is the Empress’s maid. After the Empress dies, this servant belongs to Prince Regent. Princess, you are going to marry into the palace. This servant is not suitable to follow the princess before marriage.”

Nangong Ning was a little depressed. Was this a reason? If it was calculated, then she had been staying in Prince Regent before she left the pavilion.

Aunt Duan saw that she was depressed and consoled her, “Princess, don’t worry. This servant can’t be with her, but Fei’er is with the princess. This girl is straight and loyal to the princess now, so she won’t let anyone bully her.”

Was he loyal to him? Nangong Ning subconsciously looked at Ning Fei.

The little girl still looked cold but her eyes were pure and clear.

Not only could Aunt Duan not follow her in the palace, but even Su Yuan could not get in. Therefore, it was a good choice for Ning Fei to follow her.

As soon as Nangong Ning and Aunt Duan finished their discussion, they received the news that the Fengyi Palace would send people to pick up the next morning.

Nangong Ning thought it was too early for this time, but she had already sent a message and she had to change it.

“Is the prince in the mansion now?” Nangong Ning subconsciously asked the attendant who came to deliver the letter.

“I’m not sure,” the attendant was arranged by the housekeeper. How could he know Jun Qianye’s whereabouts?

Nangong Ning was disappointed.

Aunt Duan smiled at the side. “Is there something to tell the prince?” Then go to the study to find the prince. This three days, the princess and the prince can’t meet each other before marriage. It is better to say what you have to say today.

Nangong Ning knew that Aunt Duan misunderstood but she could not explain it, so she could only acquiesce.

“Aunty, you have a good rest. I’ll go find the prince.”

Aunt Duan smiled and nodded. Nangong Ning quickly walked out.

When they reached the courtyard, Nangong Ning stopped.

She looked at the guard beside her and asked, “Is there a guest here?”

“Yes, the people from Wushuang Pavilion are here,” the guard answered.

Wushuang Pavilion? Bai Wushuang?

At the thought of the beautiful woman, Nangong Ning frowned. Why would Bai Wushuang come to the mansion now? And she could enter Jun Qianye’s study?

Nangong Ning bit his lip and strode in with a determined expression.

The study door was open.

Nangong Ning walked to the door and saw Bai Wushuang inside.

Bai Wushuang was still in a silk dress, with no accessories on her body. Her black hair was tied to a jade belt, and she looked beautiful and immortal.

Jun Qianye sat in front of the desk while Bai Wushuang stood opposite him.

Before Nangong Ning came over, the two of them should be talking but it was very quiet at this time.

Nangong Ning had to suspect that they stopped talking because of her arrival.

Can’t you see anyone?

Nangong Ning snorted in his heart and walked in.

Bai Wushuang turned around and looked at Nangong Ning with a faint expression. There seemed to be a trace of sadness in her eyes.

“Miss Nangong,” she said in a calm voice.

Nangong Ning looked at Bai Wushuang and Jun Qianye.

The two of them were handsome men and beautiful women.

She had only suspected that Bai Wushuang was interested in Jun Qianye, but now she was very sure.

Every time Bai Wushuang came to the Citadel, she was dressed up carefully, and today was even more so. If she didn’t admire Jun Qianye, she would have been a ghost!

The more Nangong Ning thought about it, the more angry he felt.

“Why is Miss Bai here?” She asked with a gunpowder tone.

Bai Wushuang furrowed her brows slightly. She obviously heard the smell of gunpowder in Nangong Ning’s words.

“I’m here to discuss things with the prince.”

Nangong Ning listened and looked at Jun Qianye again.

Bai Wushuang looked at Jun Qianye with a gentle gaze and bowed, “Your Highness, Wushuang’s farewell.”

Jun Qianye nodded slightly. Bai Wushuang straightened up and bowed to Nangong Ning. She didn’t say anything else and turned to leave.

Nangong Ning took a deep breath.

Jun Qianye looked at her strangely. Nangong Ning gritted his teeth and said, “What fragrance is Young Lady Bai using? It smells really good. Is it the prince?”
