Chapter 445 You Like Jade, I Am Coming
Mo Lingwei nodded slightly and looked at King 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 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've 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 and 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 at the side, watching Mo Lingwei scolding 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 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. 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.
"Auntie, my uncle is the prince. Arranging your birthday banquet is nothing more than a matter of lip service. The errand boy has his own servants. What can he do?"
Shen Ningning nodded desperately.
Her 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.
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."
After all, 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 expression 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 flowing beside him, he pursed his lips and said, "My uncle treats me well, but my aunt treats me even more affectionately."
After the death of the first 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 eldest uncle and eldest 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 left?"
As the old saying goes, seven months old fetuses 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..."
Before she could finish her words, Mo Lingwei's eyebrows turned sharp and sharp.
"Then I will strip him of his title and see if the women outside are still willing to follow him who has nothing?"
Shen Ningning was about to speak, but Mo Lingwei restrained his expression 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 eldest aunt should be true."
Shen Ningning licked her pink lips silently: "Well, I hope so."
It seemed that she still couldn'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 sit separately for a while. When we finish eating, you can wait for me in the pavilion."
After the banquet, as Mo Lingwei was the prince, many nobles took the opportunity to get to know 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 came together again.
Mo Zhirou was holding something in her hand and placed it in the Ninth Prince's hand.
She smiled softly and shyly, stealing glances at the Ninth Prince from time to time, and then hid her lips and snickered.
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, Nine Princes, this is the mosquito repellent sachet I made. I gave one to my mother before, and she said it was very effective."
"So, I made another one. Please bring it to Concubine Qi. I hope she likes it."
After Mo Zhirou said this, she looked at Shen Ningning frequently.
Shen Ningning heard their discussion and her heart was as clear as a mirror.
This was deliberately said to her in case the jade token incident happened again.
Humph, she was too lazy to care.
The Ninth Prince understood and nodded to Mo Zhirou, saying in a gentle voice: "For your kindness, I would like to thank you on behalf of my mother."
"Let's go find my uncle now. I heard that he prepared a treasure today to give to the guests who came to the banquet. It seems to be a rare blood jade bracelet."
The Ninth Prince's eyes swept to Shen Ningning, and his tone was a little inexplicable: "I heard that when you were a child, a jade bracelet you liked very much was broken, so I planned to ask him for it and give you the blood jade bracelet. What do you think?"
Mo Zhirou was flattered, and her eyes were like a little deer.
"Is it really okay? Then... Thank you, Your Highness."
The Ninth Prince smiled slightly: "After all, you and I have a good impression of each other. Who else can I help if I don't help you?"
He glanced at Shen Ningning, who was sitting in the pavilion. As if she thought he was noisy, the little girl actually blocked her ears with two fingers!
She also closed her eyes!
She looked like she didn't want to listen to the sutras.
The Ninth Prince's face darkened instantly.
At this moment, Mo Lingwei came out of the garden of the men's seat with a brocade box.
He passed by the Ninth Prince and Mo Zhirou and walked towards Shen Ningning, his handsome face showing a frivolous smile:
"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!
She stared at the box in Mo Lingwei's hand.
The blood jade that the Ninth Prince mentioned was actually taken by the Crown Prince first?
