Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 260 Be Prepared
The two extra people turned around and left.And the five people Yao Gaoyuan invited back looked at their employer lying on the ground rolling around, and they all sighed, ouch, their employer's acting skills are really amazing!
So, they yelled at Yao Gaoyuan's broken leg and ruthlessly patched up his feet to pay tribute!Then they ran away in a swarm.

"It hurts me to death! It hurts me to death!" Yao Gaoyuan screamed while still rolling on the ground.

"Master!" His servant helped him up, and said in a low voice, "I don't mean to be a hero to save the beauty..."

"Save me! It's true! It hurts me to death!" Yao Gaoyuan growled.

The faces of his two young servants turned blue, and one of them, who was more alert, immediately shouted: "Oh my God! My young master hurt his leg! Miss Ning, this place is close to your home, quickly take my young master to the Anning Garden Bar!"

Since you can't be a hero to save the beauty, at least you have to act like you've been hurt for someone else, so as to gain sympathy.

Yao Gaoyuan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, although the pain made him break out in cold sweat, but if he could live in her home to recuperate, it would be better than a hero saving the beauty!Getting along day and night, no matter how long it takes to be in love!

Not wanting to, Ning Qing pointed at the intersection: "Turn left ahead and there is a medical clinic! Mr. Yao is not short of two steps, right?"

Yao Gaoyuan's face changed, and his servant immediately said: "Miss Ning, it's all because of saving you!"

"That's right." Ning Qing nodded generously: "No matter who you are saving, if you are injured, shouldn't you go to a doctor? So bring the hospital!"

"Your home is closer, but now I'm injured, and I'm lying so uncomfortable!" Yao Gaoyuan's face was livid.

"I'm the only hostess in my house! What's the point of bringing you, a foreigner, to my house? No one sees a doctor, so can't you carry her to my house for a long time to recuperate? Since the medical center is in front, just carry it to the medical center! Mr. Yao is a gentleman, I believe I would rather take two more steps and endure the pain for a while, and not ruin my reputation like this?" Ning Qing said with a smile. "By the way, you two boys look so clumsy, I'll ask the doctor to bring you a stretcher."

Ning Qing left after speaking, Yao Gaoyuan's nose was crooked with anger.

After a while, people from the hospital came and carried Yao Gaoyuan to the hospital.Not to mention comforting him, Ning Qing didn't even look at him more, she just paid the medical bills and left.

Yao Gaoyuan's face turned black, he really can't afford to lose money! "Go and break the legs of those untouchables! How dare you hurt me!"

"Yes!"

His servant immediately recruited a group of thugs to find someone, held down the gangsters and beat them until they cried and cried, and repeatedly denied hurting Yao Gaoyuan: "We will do what you say! Just make some skin Trauma! Who dares to hurt your son! Was it done by another group of people?"

"Another batch of what?"

"It's the other person you found! There are only five of us! Later, two more came. Didn't you think there were not enough people to join?"

The boy was stunned, thinking there was a ghost, and hurried back to report to Yao Gaoyuan, Yao Gaoyuan was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood!He didn't add anyone at all!Don't even think about it, he also knows that he has been tricked!

And Ning Qing was the only one who cheated him!It's a pity that he was tricked by her but still can't say anything!Because it was a play made by the gangsters he invited!Now I can only suffer from being dumb!
……

Concubine Yao wanted the ice-making technology in Ning Qing's hands, and kept an eye on Yao Gaoyuan and Ning Qing's movements.Knowing that Yao Gaoyuan's leg was broken near Ning Qing's house, Meiyan's face darkened.

"Those four young masters are so stupid that there is no cure." Aunt Li said angrily, "It's hard to save a beauty, and he can even think of such a vulgar trick! Even the servants are ashamed for him! His legs, don't use them!" Say, Miss Ning must have done it! Since Miss Ning can make ice, even a monster like the Su family keeps out the door, how can she be an ordinary boudoir girl!"

They also keep an eye on the movements of the Su family.Ning Qing can make ice and monopolize the ice sales market, how could the Su family, who is the number one merchant in Zhanjing, sit still!But the Su family didn't move for a long time. Obviously, they have nothing to do with Ning Qing for the time being!

"Even so, that Ning Qing is too arrogant!" Gu Cai raised his finger at the orchid and said, "No matter what you say, he is the son of the Marquis of Jianwu! It's the mother's family! How dare she hit the mother in the face like this .”

Aunt Li glared at Gu Cai with some displeasure, and said with a smile, "Let's not say that the slaves are biased, the fourth young master is really not very good. How about choosing someone else?"

Anger flashed in Concubine Yao's beautiful eyes: "Change? What is she! She is already a match for the plateau! Thought my natal nephew is a Chinese cabbage? Let him choose! Gucai, go get Ning Please come to the palace, girl."

"Yes." Gu Cai withdrew.

Half an hour later, Ning Qing followed Gu Cai into the palace.

Looking at Concubine Ning Qing and Yao Gui in front of her, she did not beat around the bush, and directly raised her red lips: "Miss Ning, my nephew Gao Yuan has often come to take care of you during this period, and today he hurt his foot again because of you. , Tomorrow you will go to Jianwuhou Mansion to take care of the plateau."

"Your Majesty, doesn't the Jianwuhou Mansion not even have a maid? Let me be a girl to take care of a foreigner? He hurt his leg because of me. I feel guilty and will definitely make compensation." Ning Qing raised her head without fear. Looking at Concubine Yao.

"You!" Concubine Yao's beautiful face sank, and then she laughed angrily: "You have been together for so many days, and he got hurt because of you. What a concubine! I think you are a match made in heaven, so I decided to give you and Gao Yuan a gift." marriage!"

Ning Qing's face turned cold, and she was about to speak, when an angry shout sounded: "What are you? Are you worthy of marriage?"

Shui Jingnian walked in with an angry face.He was wearing a luxurious pale purple floral soft satin robe, and his gorgeous hair was slightly pulled back.He was originally an extremely beautiful person, but under such rage, he bloomed in full bloom like a rose with thorns.Glamorous.

"Presumptuous, do you ever talk to concubine mother like this?" Yao Guifei's face darkened.

"I didn't say a word wrong!" Shui Jingnian sneered: "Are you the emperor? Are you the queen mother? Or the queen? You are just a noble concubine, why should you give me a marriage?"

"You bastard!" Concubine Yao became furious. "I am a noble concubine of the first class! She is just a pariah, and the ration plateau has already been climbed!"

"A noble concubine of the first rank? To put it bluntly, she is not a concubine! Even if she has a rank, she is just a high-ranking official! Can an official be able to instigate the marriages of the common people? Since you feel that she is a high-ranking person, don't be rare! Don't think that I don't know your dirty mind!"

"Shui Jingnian!" Concubine Yao was so angry that her whole body trembled.

"I will tell you clearly today!" Shui Jingnian's eyes were bloodshot: "She is my savior! Do you repay my savior like this? I brought her to Tianshui to repay her kindness, not for Let you figure it out! Are you still human? My son’s savior didn’t try to make up for it, but calculated it instead! Forced her to marry someone who is not as good as a beast! I want to take advantage of others, but I can’t bear to spend my money, and I want to step on her. People, is there such a shameless person like you?"

"You!" Concubine Yao's face turned blue and then turned pale, and she cried after being overwhelmed by the water: "Even if I'm shameless, it's all because of you!"

"For me! For yourself!" Shui Jingnian sneered. "If you touch her hair again, I will stab all your schemes to the emperor!"

Concubine Yao choked, her stomach throbbing with anger!What a crime!How did she give birth to such a heart-loving son!She is so active in paving the way and fighting for the throne, if it were anyone else, she would have cooperated with everything!Only him, this ugly guy!Not only do they not cooperate, but they are always against each other!

Before I broke my brain, I was timid and cowardly, hiding in a corner and unwilling to see or communicate with others.Later, I broke my brain, no longer timid and cowardly, but like a strong horse, no matter how much I tame it, I won't listen!

"Shui Jingnian! Do you think you can protect her well? What you have now, all the power belongs to me! Without me, you are nothing!" Concubine Yao yelled angrily, and sneered: " Ning Qing, it’s not that this palace has to plot against you! But, who told you to be restless? It’s fine if you stay at home in peace! But you have mastered the ice-making technology! You are a helpless little girl, either you will be swallowed by the Su family silkworm, or you will be wiped out! I let you marry Gao Yuan, and I want to give you shelter!"

"That's so beautiful!" Shui Jingnian said, "If you really want to give her shelter, why don't you let her marry me!"

Ning Qing was startled, looking at Shui Jingnian, who squeezed her little hand.

Concubine Yao raised her eyebrows: "It's not impossible..."

"I only marry as a concubine!"

"You!" Concubine Yao choked angrily.Princess!It's simply impossible!Not to mention being the main concubine, even the side concubine is not worthy of her!
"Why, can't bear it?" Shui Jingnian's beautiful eyebrows showed a cold smile: "Then don't make such a disgusting face and use a high-sounding name to take advantage of others!"

"Let's go." Shui Jingnian took Ning Qing's hand and was about to leave.

"Stop!" Seeing the figure of the two holding hands, Concubine Yao was so startled that her heart skipped a beat. He actually wanted to marry this lowly ugly girl as his concubine?From what she knew about him, he was serious!

This son, she is already difficult to control, if he still argues to marry such a lowly ugly girl in the future, then there will be another obstacle in getting that position!
Concubine Yao's thoughts changed sharply, she took a deep breath, stabilized her emotions, and slowed down her tone: "Maybe it's really that what I did was wrong, and I didn't consider Miss Ning's feelings. Otherwise, I would The palace recognizes you as a daughter! This way you are beautiful and decent, and you can also take advantage of the power of this palace and Jianwuhou's mansion!"

Shui Jingnian's beautiful face sank again, endlessly, again and again!

"Thank you for your love." Ning Qing said indifferently: "Ministers know that their backgrounds are humble, and they are not worthy of being your daughters!"

She has nothing to do with her yet, so she plans to marry the concubine of Jianwuhou's mansion!If she really recognized her daughter, wouldn't she arrange her marriage more legitimately!At that time, I'm really afraid of being stripped off by her!
"Ning Qing!" Concubine Yao said with a gloomy face, "I recognize you as my daughter, so I won't treat you badly! You still saved the New Year, so I will try my best in front of the emperor and say a few nice words. I can make you a county lord! Even if it is a false name, how can your status be comparable to now! At that time, you will have this layer of identity protection, and you will have this palace and Jianwuhou's mansion as backers. Move you!"

Although Yao Guifei's promise was calculated and purposeful, it is undeniable that it is really tempting!

But Ning Qing still said lightly: "Thank you for your love. It's just that women don't need it. I will find a better backer myself!"

Concubine Yao has a feeling of qi and blood attacking her heart!In the end, he laughed back in anger: "Hehe, good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good! Then I will take a look at it, miss Ning, how can you find a stronger backer!"

Looking at Shui Jingnian while talking, he said with a smile: "Nianer, you are full of enemies now. Your strength is the Palace and the Jianwuhou Mansion! Jin Shangshu, Liu Shilang and other ministers are all drawn by the Palace and the Jianwuhou Mansion. They came here! It’s all the power of this palace! If she wants to find other backers, she can only rely on the Su family or Shui Jingdong brothers, these are your enemies!"

Shui Jingnian cast a cold glance at Concubine Yao, then pulled Ning Qing away.

Concubine Yao looked at their backs, and sneered: "Sure enough, he is the one Nian'er likes, as innocent as him!"

"Your Majesty is right." Aunt Li said, "It's so ignorant! It's so naive! She just started, and after eating some sweets, she thought that Zhan Jing would let her have fun! No one else can do anything about her! When the Su family takes action, The Merchant League will take action! She will only die! At that time, it will be too late to cry and beg your mother!"

Yao Guifei snorted lightly and smiled.

"It's just that when the time comes, Madam, do you really recognize her as your daughter?"

A flash of disdain flashed in Concubine Yao's eyes: "If you recognize her, she and Nian'er will have the status of brother and sister, so he has no reason to make a fuss about marrying her. After coaxing her ice-making skills into his hands, I will send her to marry someone casually." .If the ice-making skills can't be coaxed, I have a clever plan to let her marry into the Jianwuhou Mansion!"

"Your Majesty, in fact, she is His Highness's savior, and she was brought back by His Highness. Her relationship with His Highness is unclear, and she can be regarded as one of us. Why..."

"The problem now is that she is not willing to take it out at all!" Concubine Yao's beautiful eyes narrowed: "If she is not willing to take out what is in her hand to help Nianer achieve great things, what is the use of her standing by our side? What's more, she may not really be on our side!"

……

Ning Qing and Shui Jingnian left Danyi Palace together.

Ning Qing glanced at Shui Jingnian: "Brother Shui, do you want to be emperor?"

"I don't want to." Shui Jingnian shook his head: "And I'm not suitable either. Even if I'm in the same formation as her in name now, don't be used by her."

Ning Qing nodded.Concubine Yao is too calculating, and her ambition is too great!She knew that her son was not suitable to be an emperor, but she insisted on putting her son on that throne!

If Shui Jingnian really sat in that position, he would also be a puppet emperor!Concubine Yao will control the government!If her ambition was greater, she might follow Wu Zetian's example!At that time, Shui Jingnian will become her abandoned son!

"Then you have to be the emperor alone!" Ning Qing became distressed: "But your brothers all regard you as an enemy!"

"It's not that there is Xiao Bei."

"Little Bei?"

"It's Shui Jingbei! My ninth younger brother!" Shui Jingnian chuckled: "I have a very good relationship with Xiaobei. Well, it was because the original body was with him before. By the way, I heard that you received a consultation Banquet invitation, do you want to go?"

"En." Ning Qing's eyes twinkled slightly, and she nodded.

"The ice making thing..."

"Brother Shui. Just leave these things to me." Ning Qing's eyes outside the veil curved into a smile: "Business is my strong point. If I can't even handle these things, I wouldn't push the limelight back then! I I have already prepared! Whether it is Su Feng, Shangmeng or Concubine Yao, I will catch them all by surprise!"

As she said that, her beautiful and beautiful eyes narrowed, emitting a radiance of confidence.The whole person seemed to be shrouded in a layer of light, which was dazzling.

Shui Jingnian looked dazed, and then felt guilty: "I'm sorry, I'm not good at these things, so I can't help you."

"Nothing." Ning Qing shook her head and looked at him with bright eyes: "You have been helping me. Not only did you take me away from Tiansheng, but you have always stayed by my side now. I have the courage to go all the way. Go forward!"

That's because he gave her heart to rely on!It is the only support and warmth in this lonely world!Because of this warmth, it has been supporting her until now!

Shui Jingnian was moved for a while.

Ning Qing and Shui Jingnian went out of the palace all the way, unaware that, on a palace tower far away, a tall and tall man with eagle eyes was staring at them.

"Is this the savior brought back by Shui Jingnian? She can also make ice and monopolize the ice sales market!" The man's deep voice was playful.

"It's nothing more than that." The eunuch behind him said.

The man snorted: "You only know some skills! I have Su Feng to deal with her!"

The eunuch said: "My servant guesses that she can't handle Su Feng's move! Your Highness, you have already ordered all the men and horses. When will you make a move?"

"Don't worry, let's go through the business meeting first!" The man laughed: "I heard that Shui Jingnian cares about that woman! Let him take a look at the person he cares about being crippled by Su Feng!"

……

Ning Qing left the palace and returned to Anning Garden.

Concubine Yao has never summoned her since the matter of Yao Gaoyuan.And Su Feng hasn't moved since the farewell on the street, and the business alliance hasn't made any moves.

The business of the ice shop is getting better and better!

Since those rich people have tried ice and can spend it freely, they can't stand the heat anymore!Almost every night can not do without ice!
Ten taels of silver a night!For ordinary businessmen, it is indeed a little stressful, but thinking about the sweat from sleeping on that hot day, and gritting their teeth, they are willing to spend this money!

The business of the ice shop has grown from [-] barrels of ice a day to [-] barrels a day!

A net income of 5000 taels a day!It really hurt other businessmen with jealousy!But the Su family didn't make a move, and the business alliance didn't make a move, so no one dared to make any moves!

A month passed quickly, and it was time for the business meeting banquet.

Shui Jingnian sent a carriage to pick him up early.Ning Qing prepared her clothes and jewelry and dressed for a long time before going out.
