Chapter 204: Six new officers take office!

Shen Ninghua is going to host a plum banquet at the Princess House, and invites ladies and young ladies from various families to come to the banquet. It is said that she will also teach everyone how to make ice-scented incense.
The news spread, and fewer people came to ask for spices. Many people prepared carefully, just waiting to see Mei Yan. Come and see how amazing the spice praised by the queen mother is.
"Miss, as you ordered, it's all done, and the invitation to send has been sent out."
Shen Ninghua nodded, set the chess record in his hand aside, and listened to the wind outside the window, his eyebrows moved slightly: "The weather hasn't been very good these two days."
"Yeah, these two days were very cold. It looks like it should snow in a few days, and I don't know if the plum blossoms will continue to open after snow."
Shen Ninghua set the chess record aside, and took out a bottle of medicinal powder and handed it to Bai Yan: "Dip the medicinal powder in it and sprinkle it on those plum blossoms to ensure that the flowering period is prolonged."
"Yes, miss, but that mulberry branch is going to be disposed of?"
"Don't worry about her, let Hongling send someone to stare at her carefully. If she does, come and tell me."
"Slaves understand."
At night, the sky became more and more cold, and in the middle of the night it began to snow.
Shen Ninghua covered the quilt, suddenly felt cold in her hands and feet, and suddenly woke up.
"Ninghua, what's wrong, have nightmares?"
Chu Junyi, who had been holding Shen Ninghua in her arms, immediately noticed that she was wrong, and asked quickly.
"It's okay, I was just shocked by the dream." Shen Ninghua grasped the fingers of her face and moved, seeing the candlelight not far from her, slowly lying back on the bed, but she couldn't feel sleepy at all. I just felt cold from the bottom of my heart.
In the previous life, she was locked in a cold palace. In winter, there was no charcoal heating at all. Even the cold palace didn't even have a window paper. Often she slept in bed and the snow would blow in from the window.
She has difficulty falling asleep all night, many times, she can only watch more and more snowflakes, starting from her crippled feet and drowning her a little bit, the feeling of getting cold into the bone marrow has been with her for a winter Just like the shadow.
Even now, it is clear that the room is as warm as spring, and the sleeping underneath is also under the quilt, but she always feels cold and difficult to fall asleep.
Chu Junyi embraced Shen Ninghua, who was curled up into her arms, holding her finger on her open breast: "Ninghua, sleep, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Chu Junyi's eyes were deep, and just now Ninghua's body flashed that desperate atmosphere. Although it just passed by, it made him feel distressed.
He couldn't help but think of the place where he met Ninghua at that time. At that time, after she fell on the cliff, she also showed such aura. She thought that it was because of Zhao ’s persecution that she was so discouraged. It also fell, why she still couldn't let it go, and her hatred of Baili Jinze, was there anything he didn't know?
Thinking, Shen Ninghua couldn't help tightening even more: "Ninghua, what nightmare did you just have?"
"Nothing, I don't remember it now."
"That being the case, don't even think about it, I will stay with you and sleep peacefully."
Shen Ninghua nodded, feeling the steady heartbeat shaking from the palm of her hand, closing her eyes and leaning over.
Opening my eyes again, the sky was already bright, lying on the bed, the bed was unusually warm, and I felt that the whole person was lazy a lot, and I almost didn't want to come out of the bed: "White shit?"
Bai Yan quickly came in holding the basin: "Miss, you woke up, and in the morning watching you sleep heavily, Grandma did not let the slaves wake you up."
"Well," Shen Ninghua washed her face, and Hong Ling hurried in. "Miss, the mulberry branch started last night, and the slave stunned her and detained her in the courtyard."
"last night?"
"Well, the snow was so heavy last night, but the mulberry branch went out in the snow, and the slave-women felt that something was wrong and followed her, just to see her holding a bag and throwing things on the plum tree."
Shen Ninghua frowned: "What is it?"
"White phosphorus powder."
White phosphorus powder? Shen Ninghua frowned sharply, remembering that she had suggested Xuan Lin to play with fireworks before, her heart jumped: "Bring her over!"
"Yes, miss."
After staying in the cold side yard for one night, Sang Zhi was frightened, and was brought to Shen Ninghua, knees on the ground with a soft leg: "Gong ... Princess."
Shen Ninghua looked at her coldly, her eyes as ice-cold: "Mulberry branch, the deputy director of the Department of Internal Affairs is your cousin. What benefits does he promise you to make you dare to risk my life to frame me?"
"No, Her Royal Highness. The slaves did not want to frame you. Ask the Princess for her life."
Shen Ninghua stared at her with deep eyes. The light in her black eyes was so cold and clear that she could almost see people's hearts.
"Hong Ling, take her to Meiyuan."
Sang Zhi shuddered, and her heart was filled with fear: "His Royal Highness, Your slave is wrong, Your Highness ..."
Hong Ling covered her mouth with one hand and dragged people out.
Bai Yan took the fox fur collar's cloak to help Shen Ninghua put it on, and handed her the stove, before carefully holding Shen Ninghua out.
The snow on the ground had already been cleaned up, but many water stains remained. Mulberry was dragged to the ground, all covered with snow, and he kept crying with a whine.
Shen Ninghua stood in front of Mei Shu and looked up.
Snow fell on the branches and plum blossoms, the snowflakes were crystal clear, and the plum blossoms were bright and delicate, one cold and one warm, forming a strong contrast, people couldn't help but want to come forward to appreciate it.
Shen Ninghua looked up and picked up a plum blossom, put the snow on the palm of the plum to melt, put it on the tip of the nose, smelled it, and frowned suddenly.
"Hongling?"
Hongling let go of the mulberry branch and let her kneel on the snow.
"Princess, the slave didn't do anything to be sorry for the princess, please be aware of it."
Shen Ninghua threw away the plum blossoms in his hand: "Plum blossoms were sprinkled with white phosphorus powder, and when the white phosphorus burned, those who admire the flowers here could not escape the calamity. Those who were light were frightened, and those who were severely burned. Just one person died. If something happens to me, Princess Zhaohua, I ca n’t escape the relationship. It ’s a good way. So much white phosphorus powder can only be easily obtained by the Department of Internal Affairs.

Mulberry's body became more and more stiff, his hands lying on the ground sinking into the snow, and his heart was cold and cold.
Shen Ninghua's eyes became colder and colder: "These days are going to be New Year's Day. When the fireworks and firecrackers burn, they fall on white phosphorus. The consequences ..."
Mulberry shivered more and more: "The princess spared his life, the slave was not intentional, but the cousin instructed the slave to do it. She said that if I sprinkle white phosphorus on the plum blossom, and then find a way to light the plum blossom, he can talk to the queen mother , Point me to the horseman to be a horseman, and the slaves will be fascinated for a while, asking the princess to spare her life. "
Hong Ling was angry: "The princess has only been married for a few days, and you just want to make a puppet for the grandma. It's a vicious thought! Madam, can't you see that there is a lot of white phosphorus powder left, just put her in it and roll it. , And then Minyu ordered a charcoal pot around her, and soon she could cook herself! "
"No, princess, slaver convicts. All slaver is telling the truth. Ask the princess to spare her life, please let the princess let the slaver down." Sang Zhi said, kneeling and climbing two steps forward to pull Shen Ninghua's skirt , Was kicked aside by Hong Ling.
"Miss, what do you do?"
Shen Ninghua looked up at the plum blossoms full of trees, and her eyes moved slightly: "Close the mulberry branch to the side yard and let people watch it carefully."
"Yes."
Chu Junyi came back down and saw Shen Ninghua looking up at the plum tree. The white cloak and fur collar reflected the white porcelain face, which made her heart soft, and she stepped forward and wiped off the snow falling on her shoulder: Ninghua, it ’s snowing, and it's cold outside. Why are you out? "
Shen Ninghua leaned back and listened to Bai Zhe's report of 151, and her eyebrows suddenly frowned: "Ning Hua, that maid is disposing of it, why do you seem to have a mind?"
"I was thinking about the relationship between this matter and the Queen's Palace."
"You mean ..."
A sharp look flashed in Shen Ninghua's eyes: "Well, the queen has a deep foundation in the palace. If she really wants to borrow white phosphorus to catch fire and count me, she will not send a maid who does not have any martial arts to sprinkle white phosphorus powder, and I will be arrested. It's right. "
"Are you talking about hitting the west?"
"I didn't expect it, but Mulberry confessed it quickly, but it made me notice something different. Since I discovered that Mulberry is not right, we have focused on her. I ignored it a lot in other places. Come, you should have missed a lot. "
Chu Junyi also frowned, and her handsome face made her hair look bursts of hair: "Ninghua, don't worry, the queen can't do anything without clues."
Shen Ninghua nodded, and suddenly his eyes moved: "Jun Yi, check the Department of Home Affairs."
"The Department of the Interior?"
"Well, I remember that the head of the Department of the Interior was secretly on the side of the Zhao family, and that so much white phosphorus can only be obtained by the Department of the Interior, and from there, even the queen may be caught off guard."
"Okay!" The Burning Guard fire was just burned. Now the investigation of the Department of Internal Affairs is just right. The new officer took three fires. He was promoted and became the groom's officer. The fire should be burned well.
As soon as the date of the Mei Yan Ban arrived, the Princess House was busy early in the morning, because the people who came were all ladies and young ladies. Although the warming tents had already been set up, charcoal pots and citrons and the like needed to be prepared early, until Shen Ninghua Finishing up, the outside is just ready.
"This is my first time here with you, Ninghua. I heard that you are going to hold a plum banquet. I came here the first time. Don't let me be too early."
Baili Anning walked in with four court ladies and said to Shen Ninghua with a smile.
"Wherever the princess says, I'm too late to welcome."
"Let you have something good that you don't store well, but you want to show it off. Now let's take a look. So many people come to you asking for spices, so that you are not clean when you are just married." Then, he stepped forward and held Shen Ninghua. As soon as her finger was moved, a note was quickly passed to her.
Shen Ninghua's eyes moved, she held her hand calmly, and hid the slip of paper in her sleeve: "As soon as you entered the door, you knew how to count me, but I prepared your favorite tea. Come in and try it. Want to come Someone will come soon. "
