Phoenix Reborn: the Prime Minister's Scheming Daughter
The news that Shen Dong and Shen Linghan moved back to the Prefectural Princess Mansion left many people dumbfounded and they kept a close eye on Shen Ninghua’s movements. Shen Dong was a convicted person. The emperor had demoted him to a commoner and specially issued an imperial decree for Prefectural Princess Zhaohua to break off relations with him. Although his returning to Prefectural Princess Zhaohua’s mansion wasn’t against the imperial decree, it could be regarded as an act of defiance to the royal family!
Shen Ninghua changed her clothes and was about to enter the Palace to report the matter to Baili Qingcang. The moment she got out, she happened to meet Shen Linghan, who was carried into the mansion.
Shen Linghan was no longer as arrogant as before. She was like a rotten moss at the corner of a wall, with a gloomy and cold aura. Seeing the bright and beautiful Shen Ninghua, she suddenly curled her lips and let out a shrill laugh. “Shen Ninghua, you thought you won, but you didn’t expect that luck would turn in my favour, did you? Haha, princess, and wife of the most favored Sixth Prince of the Great Yue Kingdom. Eldest Sister, the coming days would be long. Let’s wait and see!”
Shen Ninghua coldly curled her lips. “That’s also what I wanted to say to you, younger sister. Be modest. Otherwise, it would be bad for you to repeat the same mistake.” She wanted Shen Linghan to marry into the Great Yue Kingdom safely. If there was a mistake halfway, it would not be good. Therefore, she would definitely not watch Shen Linghan seek death by acting arrogantly!
Looking at Shen Ninghua’s back, Shen Linghan’s eyes glowed with hatred and resentment. She spat at her back. “Bah, bitch, when I become the princess, I will definitely make up for these days of sufferings bit by bit!”
Baili Qingcang was stunned when he heard this news from Shen Ninghua. He had seen Bu Jinglan before and could not understand why he was willing to marry Shen Linghan. He only nodded when he saw the marriage contract that Shen Ninghua handed over. “Well, no matter what, this is a marriage. Ninghua, I heard that you took Shen Linghan back?”
Shen Ninghua’s heart trembled. Coldness crawled up from her back into her heart and made her shiver. It had only been less than two hours since she had sent Qing Que to pick up Shen Linghan, but Baili Qingcang had already received the news…Despite his old age, his control over the entire capital was still terrifying. Maybe he even knew how this marriage contract came into being.
Seeing Shen Ninghua remaining silent, Baili Qingcang suddenly smiled. “You are indeed as sharp-minded as your mother. I really treat you as my own daughter. Don’t think too much. Leave this matter to me. As long as Shen Linghan is alive, even if she has only one breath left, she will definitely become the Sixth Princess of the Great Yue Kingdom!”
“Your Majesty?” Shen Ninghua raised her head and looked at him in surprise. Her heart was filled with unprecedented emotions. He was indeed tolerating her like a doting parent. However, the more this happened, the harder it was for her to feel at ease. She could brutally deal with people who were against her, but she could not take the kindness with which others treated her for granted…
Baili Qingcang stood up and helped up Shen Ninghua who was kneeling on the ground. He deliberately put on a serious expression and said, “This is the last time I’m telling you this. I’m your father, remember?”
Shen Ninghua was stunned, but her pupils lit up. A smile appeared on her face. “Yes, Father, I will definitely remember it in the future.” This call of “father” sounded extremely sincere and wholehearted, without the usual alienation and indifference.
Shen Ninghua’s wish was fulfilled, but Bu Jinglan, who had returned to the courier hostel, was furious and smashed all the furnishings in his room into pieces!
Outside the door, all the servants and guards knelt on the ground. No one dared to open the door to see what was happening inside.
Bu Jinglan sat on the chair and panted heavily. There was a wound on his hand cut by a porcelain fragment, and blood was flowing. However, he didn’t care at all. His black eyes were like a changing nebula in the sky, filled with stormy waves. At this moment, the red leaf birthmark on his neck was slowly disappearing. “Shen Ninghua, you are really fantastic, haha!”
Suddenly, his expression changed. The red leaf mark on his neck flashed a few times and became faintly visible. The veins on his forehead popped. Bu Jinglan clenched the armrest of the chair tightly. He gritted his teeth tightly, as if he was enduring great pain. “Don’t appear! Aren’t you satisfied after causing such a mess?”
He was silent for a moment and began to speak as if to himself.
“Can’t hurt Shen Linghan? She deceived you just with her clumsy acting skills. What other advantages does she have besides her malicious intentions?”
“…”
“White lotus flower? For what is she worthy of that praise?”
“…”
“Shen Ninghua is scheming? You idiot. She has such a beautiful appearance and grew up in a complicated environment in the Shen family, and is even coveted by several princes. If she weren’t scheming, she would have already been eaten without any bones left.”
“…”
“I’m telling you. I will marry Shen Ninghua. No one else is worthy of being my princess. Besides, if you disrespect Prefectural Princess Zhaohua again because of Shen Linghan, I will cut flesh from Shen Linghan’s body piece after piece, cook it and feed it to animals!”
After a while, the red leaf mark on his neck disappeared completely. Bu Jinglan’s aura changed and he once again changed back into the sophisticated, handsome and elegant Sixth Prince. A cold look flashed in his eyes. “Someone!”
“Clean up this place. Send someone to sneak into the Prefectural Princess Mansion to catch Shen Linghan. Take her out of the mansion and kill her. Don’t disturb Prefectural Princess Zhaohua, and no one is allowed to spy on her, understood?”
“Yes, Master.” It seemed that Prefectural Princess Zhaohua would be the future Sixth Princess and their mistress.
The Great Yue Kingdom was more liberal than Da’an. Some outstanding women not only had freedom of movement, but they could choose their own husbands, and even participate in politics and become officials. Speaking of which, this rule was set by the empress of the Great Ancestor of the Great Yue Kingdom.
She was raised as a boy. Later on, she was recruited into the army and became a good friend of the emperor of the time. They addressed each other as brothers, and the emperor even thought that he had fallen in love with a man. Later he found that the man was a “she” and married her as his empress. He doted on her for the rest of his life, and this empress also had a unique personality. After entering the Palace, she did not give up on the military merits she had earned, and she even accepted the position of Great Governor, becoming the first woman in Great Yue to participate in politics.
Because there was such an empress, women began to enter the court and become officials…Even though there were no female officials in court now, there were still many powerful women behind the scenes. Shen Ninghua was the most outstanding woman he had ever seen. Such a person should not be trapped in the backyard of a man from Da’an!
After leaving the imperial palace, Shen Ninghua wasn’t in a hurry to go back home. Instead, she let Liu Yun drive the carriage and wander around the downtown area. As the carriage drove past a corner, it slightly shook and Liu Yun immediately pulled out his sword.
“Liu Yun, it’s ok.”
Shen Ninghua looked at Chu Junyi who had smilingly barged into the carriage and stopped Liu Yun who was about to attack him.
Chu Junyi sat down beside Shen Ninghua and reached out to place her head on his shoulder. He adjusted the height of his shoulder to make sure that she was very comfortable, and then smiled brightly and said, “Ninghua, I heard that you have arranged a marriage for Shen Linghan?”
Shen Ninghua felt a little uncomfortable and frowned, but she did not raise her head. “You are well-informed.”
“That’s for sure. I’ve also helped you a lot. Now everyone in the capital knows that you’ve brought your father and sister back despite your old scores. Moreover, because of you, your sister Shen Linghan has also obtained a good marriage.”
Chu Junyi’s expression showed that he wanted some praises. “In order to make that story more vivid and real, I even specially made up a love story between a prince and a poor girl. The two of them fell in love at first sight. The prince dared not to express his love because of his identity. Although the poor girl got disabled because of the prince, there was no resentment in her heart. She even tolerated the prince’s hesitation again and again. In the end, the prince was moved and bravely announced to marry the poor girl.”
Shen Ninghua was stunned and couldn’t help but laugh. “Prince and a poor girl? I’ve only heard of a gifted scholar and a beautiful lady before, but now there’s a new version.”
‘”This is also for the sake of the people. They read stories about destitute scholars and rich girls all day long and needed to have some new tastes. Also, in order to let people enjoy the story, I have hired quite a number of theatrical troupes to rehearse the show overnight. I think more people will know about this moving love story tomorrow.”
As Chu Junyi spoke, a cold light flashed in his eyes. Bu Jinglan dared to covet his beautiful sweetheart, and he couldn’t bear it anymore. This time, he would let Bu Jinglan marry a cripple and see what he could do!
As expected, the next day, all the theaters were crowded with people watching the show. Many women who watched through the curtains in the private booths upstairs shed tears when they saw the crippled poor girl embroidering a sachet for the prince. What a spoony girl! If the prince didn’t marry her in the end, he was really heartless and ungrateful!
This was the first time the troupe owners got exhausted from receiving money. Especially the ladies in the private booths, who gave generous tips one after another. Seeing the benefits, the owners decided to give additional performances. The actors and actresses performed until midnight before they could go to rest.
On the second day, more people came to watch the show. Many old ladies and madams of aristocratic families also came. They watched with tearful eyes and wanted to see more even at the end of the performance.
There was no need to explain, but everyone who had watched the show already understood that the poor girl was Shen Linghan and the prince was Bu Jinglan.
Thinking of the news that the Sixth Prince was going to marry Shen Linghan, many people were happy. This was really a marriage between true lovers!
If someone claimed that Bu Jinglan would not marry Shen Linghan, he would probably be buried by the people with rotten vegetable leaves.
But Bu Jinglan in the courier hostel was having a gloomy expression. He smashed the things that he could find in the room again. “Good plan! What a good plan! Do you think that I must marry that cripple for fear of pressure from the people? Haha, Shen Ninghua, you are too naive. I will definitely give you a big surprise! I hope you won’t be scared at that time!”
Chapter 127: Let's Wait and See!
Shen Ninghua changed her clothes and was about to enter the Palace to report the matter to Baili Qingcang. The moment she got out, she happened to meet Shen Linghan, who was carried into the mansion.
