Chapter 75 Dress up for the banquet
The heat blushed Qin Yunuan's cheeks, and the tone of Leng Changxi's words was rubbed in his ear: "It's not a hand. I heard that you were the one who was embarrassed and deliberately rushed here from the carriage."
Leng Changxi straightened up. In his opinion, how could others bully the woman he liked? It was normal for him to protect her. He told her that he was protecting her, which was also normal. He let her know that there was no need to look good to treat people like Princess Shuhua in the future.
In Qin Yunuan's view, it was another meaning. She subconsciously retreated and gave her a buffer distance between herself and Leng Changxi. Her family background and identity were there. She could not be too unruly, even if she was surrounded by her own people.
I sensed Qin Yunuan's intentional alienation, but Leng Changxi just stood quietly, watching the shop being cleaned up, and really asked the shopkeeper to take out the list of things that had been smashed, and was really ready to give it to Princess Shuhua. He also settled the shopkeeper's heart: "Someone will pay these bills within seven days."
Looking at Leng Changxi turn around the carriage, the black carriage reins tightened and slowly left from the front of the shop. Qin Yunuan closed his mind and lifted the curtain back to the inner hall.
Sure enough, in less than five days, the shop sent someone to inform Qin Yunuan that all the destroyed things had been paid by a father-in-law from a palace. Qin Yunuan sent a man to report the letter and picked up another piece of paper on the case.
Now several days have passed since Shangguan's death, and the wind in Beijing has gradually subsided because of Li Qi's fear of suicide. Today's lieutenant's mansion has always been quite low-key. Even in the court, Qin Zhi was very sorry and courteous when he saw Shangguan Yuan.
The seemingly calm surface was stirred up by a piece of news brought back from the south of the Yangtze River by Shen Xun.
When he was in prison, Li Qi once said with great excitement that the Su Chenghai he saw now was not the real Su Chenghai. The result that Qin Yunan said at that time was actually based on speculation. Li Qi's love for Su Chenghai so much that she loved her. As he went to the Su family and studied medicine with him, Su Chenghai disappeared in the Battle of Eastern Qin when she was a military doctor, and Li Qi returned to Jianzhou to continue to wait for him.
Such an infatuated person was willing to enter the Qin family as an aunt because Qin Zhi once went down to the south of the Yangtze River. There is probably only one reason. The person she waited painstakingly for is no longer there.
Shen Xun's letter described in detail the situation he went to Jianzhou to inquire for Qin Yunuan. As early as four months ago, Su Chenghai's ashes had entered the Su family ancestral hall. Because Su Chenghai's insistence on studying medicine at that time was driven out of the Su family tree by Su Ri'an in anger, so this entry into the ancestral temple was also a secret, and few people know it. Tao.
Four months ago, Su Chenghai, who lived beside Qin Yunuan and cared for elegant and tenderness from beginning to end before the Flower Festival banquet, has always been fake.
Qin Yunuan's heart seemed to fall fiercely. Although she probably guessed the context, when the truth hit like a tsunami, it still made people shiver, like standing on the coast wet by the rain, and the sea breeze still ruthlessly blew the swaying heart.
Sittyly on the Zen chair for a long time, until Tong'er came into the house to add a cup of hot tea and handed an invitation.
"What is this?" Qin Yunuan said as he opened the invitation with gold edges.
Tong'er: "It's Wangfu's post saying that it's to celebrate Princess Ning's birthday. I heard that there are young masters and girls of the official eunuchs in Beijing, and even four girls have received it. It's not small to look at it."
Princes Ning is 48 years old this year, which is a rare birth year, so this birthday is also particularly grand. In addition, Princess Ning is kind, good-looking, gentle and virtuous. She makes friends with people in Beijing, and there is an endless stream of people who come to celebrate her birthday. Even the old princess who had been rested in Guoan Temple specially came back to replace this Daughter-in-law celebrates.
Coincidentally, the birthday of Ning Wangfu happened to be May 24, the day before Qin Yunuan's birthday.
On May 24, the outside of Ningwang Mansion was full of carriages with all kinds of luxurious decorations. The whole Ningwang Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful, which was so lively.
Qin Yun makeup, who had been frustrated for a long time, finally had the opportunity to go out. She sat alone in a troika and walked down the wooden bed with the help of the maid. The ivory white and goose yellow brocade skirt was slightly twirling to the ground. The skirt and cuffs rolled with silver edges, which was very dazzling. Her long hair turned into a fallen horse bun, and a few milky white jade hairpins and a few on her skirt. Ink-colored flowers complement each other, gentle and noble, like a lotus flower that comes out of the mud.
Her arrival has inadvertently attracted the attention of many people. No matter how many rumors there are, she is also the first beauty in Daqi. In addition, she has never married in the boudoir, which inevitably attracts people's imagination.
When Qin Yunuan got down from the carriage behind, she happened to see another prince's brother paying attention to Qin Yun makeup and smiling flatteringly, and Qin Yun makeup had also been covering the veil and lowering his head with a smile. The broken pupils flowed and seemed to seduce people's souls.
According to the rules, Qin Yunuan, Qin Yuwan and Qin Yuzhao sat in a carriage together. Qin Yuwan was a little disgusted that Qin Yuzhao, a stupid sister, would also come to attend Princess Ning's birthday banquet. Didn't he add a drag bottle to her?
"Oh, hurry up, isn't it just the next carriage? What are you afraid of?" Qin Yuwan pulled Qin Yuzhao's sleeves impatiently and shied. Qin Yuzhao's cuffs were immediately pulled out with a one-finger-long opening, and he stuttered several times and almost fell to the ground.
Qin Yuzhao's embroidered skirt was originally picked up by Qin Yuwan. Although the clothes were half-old, Qin Yuzhao liked it tightly. As soon as it was broken, he shouted and blocked the intersection, attracting many people to watch.
"Oh, okay," Qin Yuwan said impatiently, "Isn't it just a broken skirt? There are still some in my suitcase. If you want it, I'll go back and give you all the bottom of the box.
Qin Yuwan just wanted Qin Yuzhao not to be noisy. Unexpectedly, this words fell into the ears of those women who love to chew their tongues but became the subject. Look at the life of the concubine daughter of the lieutenant's mansion. It turned out that this little sister had to pick up what was left by her sister.
Qin Yuzhao has been raised in the yard by Aunt Liu. He rarely communicates with people and stammered a little: "But...but, this one on my body... is already broken."
"You are really a lot of trouble." Qin Yuwan pulled Qin Yuzhao's body and wanted to see how big the torn opening was, but he heard Qin Yun makeup urging in front of him, "Second sister, third sister, fourth sister, father and eldest brother are already at the banquet, and we have to go there quickly."
Qin Yuwan loosened his hand and looked at Qin Yuzhao, who would drag people down. An idea came up in his heart that he simply didn't care about her, but he heard Qin Yunuan beside him take the initiative to say, "Ok, Tonger, go to the carriage and take out my feather fan."
As soon as Tonger went up, he quickly handed the white fan to Qin Yunuan's hand. Qin Yunuan turned his hand to the palm of Qin Yuzhao and gently demonstrated, "Like me, cover your sleeves with a fan. If you don't pay attention, you can't see that the cuffs are torn."
Qin Yuzhao did the same. He learned from Qin Yunuan's appearance and covered it. Seeing that the effect was good, he really cracked his mouth and smiled.
As the leading family entered the gate of the royal palace, it seemed that people's comments could be heard faintly, including the whispers of the lady.
"Have you heard? I heard that Qin Yunzhuang actually had a lot of involvement with the death of Shangguan's son, but the left prime minister did not pursue it because of the face of the Qin family.
"I said, Qin Yun makeup has always relied on his beautiful face to play with men everywhere. I have long seen a pair of ** in her stock."
"In the final analysis, the three girls of the Qin family are easier to get along with, with a low background, self-knowledge, and more modest."
Qin Yunuan heard the whispers of the women's family without saying a word. She looked at the slightly pulled corners of Qin Yun makeup's mouth and knew that she had heard a lot, but she could only endure it if she wanted to continue to maintain her generousness and nobility in the crowd.
However, Qin Linfeng, who had already been seated, went straight forward after hearing these rumors. Although he lowered his voice, Qin Yunuan still heard it clearly.
"If you talk nonsense again, be careful that I will break your neck." Qin Linfeng threatened those talkative girls and stared at them fiercely before returning to their seats.
Qin Linfeng's protection and love for Qin Yun makeup is meticulous, but sometimes, Qin Yunuan feels that it seems to be a little too much, far beyond the simple feelings of brother and sister, more like a possessive male lion protecting his territory and territory.
The banquet was about to begin. Qin Yunuan was pulled together by Fang Ziying and sat down. She was separated by two people from Qin Yunzhuang and Qin Yuwan. It was easy to whisper and not too rude.
Fang Ziying sips tea while introducing several young masters and ladies in Ningwang Mansion, today's host family.
"It's a pair of sword eyebrows that look heroic. It's Leng Chang'an, the eldest son of the King of Ning, and the daughter of the king of Gaoyang. The one over there is Leng Changxuan, the second son of the concubine. Everything is good, but the ears are soft." Fang Ziying originally went down a little colder with a warm and excited tone, but just casually towards the opposite one. The plain white clothes, the beautiful but cold-tempered cold beauty said, "This is the cold heart of the young lady of the Ningwang Mansion. She is arrogant and not easy to get close to. Anyone who talks to her will hit a nail."
Qin Yunuan knew that Fang Ziying didn't like her, so she changed the topic with a smile and pointed to a beautiful woman who was talking to people in a bright and charming way: "What about that?"
Fang Ziying's tone was even more disdainful: "She? She is just a poor relative of Ning Wangfu. In the final analysis, she is a fox charming who wants to fly to the branches and phoenix.
Xie Ruying, who was evaluated as a fox Meizi by Fang Ziying, almost at the same time, looked in the direction of Qin Yunuan. Originally, she thought it was just an ordinary look between strangers. Unexpectedly, the next moment, Xie Ruying suddenly stood up and directly turned towards Qin Yunuan's Fang. He came over.
