Chapter 560 Shangsi Festival

Soon, Shen Ningning heard from Lu Shaoyuan that Pei Yin regretted it.

"This Pei Yin, who is also the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, is so dishonest that he would rather pay double the amount of money than sell the house."

Lu Shaoyuan was very angry when he told Shen Ningning.

He was very dissatisfied: "Pei Yin said that this house was given by the emperor, so after returning home, he thought about it and felt that it should not be sold, so he regretted the agreement."

"But why didn't he say that earlier? I've even found the craftsmen and arranged the drawings. It's good for him that the trouble happened so suddenly."

At that time, Shen Ningning was practicing calligraphy and just wanted to calm down her mind.

After hearing what Lu Shaoyuan said, she was not surprised at all.

It must be that Mo Lingwei didn't allow Pei Yin to sell the mansion.

"Forget it, there are so many good houses in the city, why bother buying his."

When Lu Shaoyuan heard what she said, he felt that his anger had dissipated a lot.

"You're right. My eldest brother also said that you shouldn't buy his house, otherwise there will be embarrassment and trouble in the future. Then I will go out for a look in the next few days. When I see something good, I will take you to see it. ”

Unexpectedly, Lu Shaoyuan asked several houses that were for sale in succession. They said they were very good at the time, but two days later, they all changed their minds and said they would not sell them.

Even in the entire capital, no one dared to sell the house to him.

No matter how dull Lu Shaoyuan was, he still noticed something.

We have some clues as to who is obstructing this.

The prince didn't want Shen Ningning to marry someone else, and he certainly didn't want them to build a new house.

Of course Lu Shaoyuan was angry because he didn't want to make Shen Ningning suffer, but there was nothing he could do.

If it were someone else, that would be the prince.

Fortunately, Shen Ningning was open-minded and reassured Lu Shaoyuan: "It doesn't matter. Otherwise, we can live in the princess's mansion. My house is big enough. We can live in a courtyard each of us."

The sadness on Lu Shaoyuan's face was wiped away, and he smiled brightly: "That's fine, otherwise, we can live in our own house. Fortunately, my mother bought a lot of land deeds in Beijing at that time, and took out a set at random for the craftsmen to start work. I change my accommodation every month and it’s never the same every year.”

Shen Ningning was amused by him: "Then I can live in a new house in three years?"

Lu Shaoyuan paused and said tentatively: "Maybe longer."

What if, he meant what if, Shen Ningning fell in love with him and wouldn't leave?

Shen Ningning didn't answer. She didn't want to give Lu Shaoyuan undue hope.

I learned that Shen Ningning and Lu Shaoyuan were not worried about the house, and their marriage had reached the stage of looking at each other's horoscopes.

The anger in Mo Lingwei's heart grew day by day.

He once left the palace and pretended to pass by casually at the gates of Xie Mansion and Xiangyun Village.

But he didn't expect that he wouldn't meet Shen Ningning every time.

When he went to Xie's Mansion, she went to visit Ye Changyi's home; when he went to Langshan, she stayed back in Xie's Mansion.

It was such a coincidence two or three times, and Mo Lingwei gradually came to his senses.

She was deliberately avoiding him.

It was too easy for Shen Ningning to grasp his movements.

She is so good at communicating with small animals. She only needs to scatter a handful of food, and hundreds of birds will naturally become her intelligence spies.

Mo Ling was helpless for a moment.

Until Meng Wan found the courage to find him and invited him to accompany her to the Shangsi Festival.

Naturally, Mo Lingwei would not go, but Meng Wan Ning said: "My daring invitation is not for myself, but so that His Highness the Crown Prince can resolve the misunderstanding with His Highness the Princess. So I made a special effort to find out clearly that Her Highness the Princess will be meeting her friends that day." Wan Ning will also be happy if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can take this opportunity to reconcile with the princess. "

What she said was conclusive, but Mo Lingwei didn't completely believe it.

He arranged for Wu Fang to inquire, and finally learned that Shen Ningning had indeed made an appointment with Ye Changyi, Qi Xiuwei and others to release paper kites during the Shangsi Festival.

Therefore, on the day of Shangsi Festival, Mo Lingwei followed Meng Wan Ning to the Shangsi Festival Gala.

The Shangsi Festival is held in the peach blossom forest near the water in line with the good omen of outing and welcoming the spring.

The weather was sunny and cloudless. Under the clear blue sky, the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the young ladies and gentlemen accompanying them formed a beautiful scene.

The paper kites are floating in the sky, showing off all kinds of colors.

Meng Wan Ning was walking behind Mo Lingwei. She couldn't help but attract his attention and pointed at a blue butterfly or paper kite in the sky.

"Your Highness, look at this paper kite. The shape of this paper kite is really unique."

Mo Lingwei hummed perfunctorily, not paying attention at all.

His cold eyes kept darting around, and Meng Wan Ning could tell that the prince just wanted to see Shen Ningning as soon as possible.

Her heart sank, and she felt a little unspeakable.

Mo Lingwei's appearance caused some young men and ladies who recognized him to stop and look at him.

When Mo Lingwei approached, they each said hello, hoping to take the opportunity to talk to the prince.

However, Mo Lingwei always looked indifferent.

Meng Wan Ning walking behind him became the second focus of everyone's attention.

Many people whispered——

"It seems that the previous rumors are true. Miss Meng has the favor of the prince, and she is afraid that she will become the prince's concubine."

"Just her? Even though the Meng family's status is not low, she is still far from being a crown princess! The concubine is barely there."

"But apart from Princess Funing, the prince has only taken her out with her. Have you ever seen the prince take other women with him?"

Everyone fell silent.

Meng Wan Ning felt the envious, jealous or indifferent gazes of this group of people, straightened up slightly, raised his head and followed Mo Lingwei's footsteps.

Suddenly.

Mo Lingwei paused and looked forward.

Meng Wan Ning followed his gaze and saw Ye Shangyi and the others sorting kites under a peach tree.

Next to Ye Shangyi stood Xu Jingxi, Qi Xiuwei, Liang Yici, Jiang Zhi, and even Chen Shaobei. They even brought Wuer, the young man from Shen Ningning's shop.

However, almost all of Shen Ningning's friends were there, but the only person missing was Shen Ningning, the person he wanted to see.

Mo Lingwei's eyes were slightly gloomy. When Chen Shaobei looked up, he saw it and was suddenly stunned.

Then, Chen Shaobei whispered a few words to Jiang Zhi beside him, and then hurried to Mo Lingwei.

Shen Ningning's group of friends stood far away, whispering to each other. Mo Lingwei could guess that they must be talking about the fact that he was there at the wrong time and Shen Ningning was not there.

"Your Highness, you actually came to see the kites during the Shangsi Festival?" Chen Shaobei's calm face also had a hint of surprise.

In previous years, Mo Lingwei found this kind of activity boring.

So this year, Chen Shaobei did not call him.

Mo Lingwei's sword-like eyebrows and thin eyes were very gloomy: "You are having a good time, but you came here without telling me?"

Chen Shaobei smiled helplessly: "How dare I enjoy myself without telling your Highness, it's just Jiang Zhi who invited me."

Mo Lingwei sneered, and he seemed to ask casually: "Just you guys?"

"Well," Chen Shaobei understood and guessed who he wanted to ask: "Her Highness the Princess was going to come, but I heard that Grandma Qin cut her hand, so she stayed at home to take care of her."

Mo Lingwei pursed his lips.

Should he go to Xiangyun Village to take a look?

Maybe she needs help?

But it seemed obvious that he went immediately.

Chen Shaobei saw Mo Lingwei's hesitation and took the initiative to invite him, saying, "Why don't you come with us to watch the kites? You can go back later if you get tired."

This step was just right, and Mo Lingwei nodded immediately, "Just as you say."

He followed Chen Shaobei to the direction of Ye Shangyi and the others. Meng Wanning thought about it and followed him.

When Ye Shangyi saw her, she didn't look happy.

She had been clinging to Xu Jingxi some time ago, and now that she felt she had a chance, she pestered the prince again.

The girls who were close to Shen Ningning didn't talk to Meng Wanning much.

Even Xu Jingxi just nodded to her lightly as a greeting.

Because Mo Lingwei was familiar with them, these people didn't dare to ignore him, so Meng Wanning was gradually squeezed out of their circle and could only stand not far away and watch them fly kites.

This was an opportunity she had fought for with great difficulty. How could she be willing to be ignored like this?

Meng Wanning stared at Ye Shangyi's back, quite angry.

These people must have listened to Ye Shangyi's instigation.

Meng Wanning couldn't swallow this breath, she rolled her eyes, and suddenly thought of an idea.

Ye Shangyi pulled the kite and let out the string little by little.

Xu Jingxi instructed from the side: "A little slower, otherwise you will easily cut your hand."

Ye Shangyi snorted and laughed: "I'm not that stupid, I'm the best at flying kites. Every year during the Shangsi Festival, I always flew the highest kite."

Suddenly.

When Ye Shangyi stepped back, she stepped on something and heard a crisp cracking sound.

Meng Wanning's anxious voice sounded: "Ah! Miss Ye, how did you break the kite I wanted to bring to the princess!"

Ye Shangyi turned around. She was busy playing with the kite just now, and didn't notice that Meng Wanning actually put her kite behind her and was winding the string.

Seeing the kite with the names of Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei written on it, she stepped on it and broke it.

The kite on the Shangsi Festival is of great significance, symbolizing the prayers for the relationship between men and women. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a festival for love.

But now, it was stepped on by her.

Over there, Mo Lingwei's cold eyes had already looked over. (End of this chapter)
