Chapter 76 Uninvited Guest
Qin Yu warmly straightened her neck and clearly read some challenges and interrogating prisoners from Xie Ruying's eyes. In her impression, she and this "Hu Meizi" who had never met seemed to have no intersection, but since she came, she had no reason to hide.
But Xie Ruying only walked halfway and happened to walk to the center of the banquet. Her body suddenly stopped, as if she was suddenly frozen. She didn't even have the strength to take steps. She froze in place. Qin Yunuan looked along Xie Ruying's eyes and happened to see Leng Changxi, who was dressed up and was preparing to enter the banquet, using a kind of fright. The cold stared at Xie Ruying's direction. This look was enough to kill people 800 times, but Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi had never seen each other when they got along, which was inevitably surprised.
And a girl sitting next to Qin Yunuan was not surprised. She pulled the little hair beside her and said, "Look, it's the young master Leng San who came out. Look at the inhuman appearance. I really don't know which girl will marry him in the future."
Xie Ruying saw that it was almost a conditional launch and immediately turned back to her seat.
Just sat down, and the banquet officially began.
The banquets carved with golden lotus flowers are arranged in two rows. At the end of the banquet is a more magnificently decorated case, and the four corners are also embedded with jasper, which is prepared for the old princess who returned from Guoan Temple. The next one is the king of Ning and Princess Ning, and the rest are arranged according to the generations.
"The third brother came really late." As soon as Leng Changxi sat down, Leng Chang'an bowed and looked at today's protagonist, Princess Ning, and said, "But let the mother wait."
Leng Chang'an was born very much like today's King Ning. His dark and three-dimensional eyebrows, deep and well-defined eyes, and his angular face highlights an unspeakable style. He speaks magnificently, his spine is straight, and his dark blue clothes and black cloud sleeves. Compared with Leng Changxi's coldness, he looks so gentle and flat. Approachable.
Although he is the eldest son, he is a concubine. His mother is the first wife of King Ning. In the final analysis, she is still a concubine, and Princess Ning only spoils Leng Changxi, a precious son.
Leng Changxi just glanced at Leng Chang'an faintly, and his tone was also faint: "I dealt with a few restless people in the yard, which worried my mother."
Today's Princess Ning is dressed very carefully, with a bun and temples, a red bead flower as red like pigeon blood, and fringed on it. Looking back, she is obviously a person in his 40 years old, but she still looks white and delicate, if it weren't for the eyes that appear from time to time with a smile. The wrinkles of the horns only make her a young woman.
"The third brother won't drive away the two maids sent yesterday," Leng Chang'an's wife Ruyi, and the young grandmother of Ning Wangfu said, "Oh, that's also a kindness from me and your eldest brother. Now that you are over 20 years old, you can't stay in the barracks all your life. There is always a close person beside you. You have to serve."
Leng Changxi turned his head and said, "If you persuade me, Xue Si has Lengwu around me, and he is not bad. If it is his wife," Leng Changxi couldn't help looking in the direction of Qin Yunuan. Today, she wore a water-green fireworks skirt with a small floral shirt on her head and slightly applying some powder, and her whole body looked ruddy and thin. Tired, just like the newly picked fresh strawberry, it makes people just want to bite and lick it fiercely. "If it's a wife," Leng Changxi repeated, "I already have the right person in my heart."
This news undoubtedly surprised the people present. Is there already someone in the heart of the cold third young master who has always been a woman?
The first person to react was Princess Ning. She smiled and her heart was full of joy. She was eager to be a mother-in-law and hold a grandson: "Really? Which girl is it? Just choose a day to propose marriage, and don't be preempted by others.
King Ning couldn't help smiling and said an anxiously to Princess Ning, "You are worried about these eight characters. You don't know which girl she is, what's background is, and how the tutoring and recuperation are. You immediately want to propose marriage." Although the words are blamed, their tone is full of doting. It is an open fact that King Ning and Princess Ning are deeply in love and deeply affectionate, and how King Ning treats Princess Ning is also obvious to all.
In the end, the old princess came out and mocked herself with a smile and said, "Well, now that there is someone in his grandson's heart to do something happy, and his son only spoils his daughter-in-law, and no one cares about me as an old man. Alas, I really shouldn't have come back."
Grandma Ruyi immediately acted coquettishly and said, "Grandma's words are wrong. The second brother's room is still empty. As soon as the grandmother mentions the third brother, she directly says the word 'grandson'. Is it the grandmother's grandson who is like the third brother, and the father-in-law and the second brother are not the grandmother's grandson?"
Although it was a joke and won everyone's smile, the curves here were very clear. Fortunately, the old princess didn't mind and only pointed to Ruan Ruyi with a delicate face with a smile and said, "You just like to play with me."
The family of Ning's family laughed happily, and the song and dance in the middle of the banquet have also entered **. Only Leng Changxi has always responded to the questions of Leng Chang'an and the old princess indifferently. Only when he nodded and greeted Princess Ning out of etiquette, he showed a rare smile.
The talkative girl beside Qin Yunuan began to talk again: "Look, the young master Leng San looks so out of place among several other young masters, doesn't laugh or speak. Is it possible that it really looks like a rumor from the outside? In fact, this young master Leng San is an illegitimate child?"
Another lady also echoed, "Who knows, a handyman in my family had been working in the Ning Palace before. He said that 20 years ago, she had never seen Princess Ning pregnant, but there was only one more young master. Do you think it's strange?"
"That must be, I said...oops." The lady who was close to Qin Yunuan suddenly shouted loudly, and the guests around couldn't help looking this way. I don't know when the wine pot on this table fell down. It was filled with good grape brewing, which was characterized by a mellow smell. In addition, it was extremely easy to color and not easy to wash off.
Don't mention how embarrassed this talkative Miss Gu is at this moment. She jumped up and quickly wiped a large pool of stains on her skirt with a veil. Looking at Qin Yunuan sitting next to her, suddenly came to her senses, stared at her and was about to blame her. Unexpectedly, Qin Yunuan took the lead in saying, "Oh, it turned out that the wine spilled. Sorry, I didn't mean to."
"You are obviously," the Gu family is also a well-known family in the capital, so the Gu girl is still a little confident when she speaks. "Otherwise, how can the wine pot be splashed on the table? Who believes that you are the only one who is the closest to you?
Qin Yunuan raised her head slightly and smiled contemptuously: "Miss Gu has no evidence. Who would believe that I did it on purpose? Miss Gu and I have no grudges. What's the benefit of splashing Miss Gu? Besides, Miss Gu's wine pot was not put away and spilled down. The first reaction was not to tidy up the dress, but to let the wine on the hem of the skirt, and the skirt was stained with stains. Isn't it more suspicious? Miss Gu, can I still say that you deliberately got the wine bottle but deliberately blamed me?
Miss Gu was anxious and said with red eyes, "If you don't have evidence, you can guess randomly. It's so uncultivated."
Qin Yunuan smiled and looked a little surprised: "Oh, it turns out that Miss Gu knows this truth yourself."
Miss Gu said angrily, "I'm talking about you, the humble daughter of the Qin family."
Identity and status are always a weakness that others can ruthlessly satirize Qin Yunuan, but Qin Yunuan smiled lightly and said, "Miss Gu, since you and I can sit next to each other, don't you say that my identity is low, aren't you talking about yourself?"
In the battle with Qin Yunuan, Miss Gu has been completely defeated. In addition, the ugly wine stains on the skirt are still waving its fragrance. The strong smell of wine has doubled the frustration of the Gu family girl.
She stared at Qin Yunuan again, turned her head and left the banquet. The banquet suddenly calmed down, and it was her turn to present a congratulatory message to Princess Ning in turn. These dignitaries also showed their skills. Some gave slaves and maidservants bought from Beidi for Princess Ning to serve, and some chose Qisong came to the southwest for Princess Ning to watch, and even the old princess took out the most cherished set of dowry and transferred it to Princess Ning.
"This...it's too expensive. My wife can't stand it." Princess Ning couldn't take her eyes off her eyes with a set of bright mutton jade jewelry. Although sheep fat jade had not been as hard to find as today, she wanted the jade hairpin jade earrings made of a piece of mutton fat jade given to her today, but it is a priceless treasure. How can she afford it?
King Ning is very easy-going: "Xun Xiang, since your mother gave it to you, just accept it."
The old princess saw that Princess Ning finally nodded and accepted it, and a big stone in her heart fell to the ground. Then she said, "Actually, I also turned this pair of jewelry when I occasionally sorted it out. This is also a gift from an old friend to me, but things are wrong, and the old man has passed away, only this thing is left for me to make. I thought about it, but it was a good thing that when I was recuperating in Guoan Temple a few days ago, I actually met the daughter of an old man and had a good relationship with him. Only then did I know that the daughter of the old man temporarily boarded in Guoan Temple to recuperate because of her weak bones. I thought that since I came back, Ning Wangfu did not lack this pair of chopsticks, and there was someone to accompany me. It's good to talk. I don't know what you mean?"
Sending things is a cover. It turns out that the following passage is the highlight. All the big snacks in the house are worn by Princess Ning. Now the old princess has personally requested and given this valuable gift. Naturally, Princess Ning will respond.
"We are naturally happy to have someone to accompany you, but we don't know what the name of the old man's daughter is?"
The old princess stretched her eyebrows, smiled gently, and said, "Hangzhou Dou's daughter, the name Qing'e."
