"What's wrong?" Looking at Xue Ning's appearance, Song Hong's face froze slightly.

Xue Ning straightened up, pursed his lips and smiled: "I've been to the restaurant, thank you brother for taking care of the restaurant for me." ”

"Since you have found me, if I can't do anything, it's always bad. Song Hong pursed his lips, beckoned Xue Ning to sit down, and poured her a cup of tea, "The cold follows you, are you still used to it?"

Xue Ning nodded: "It's okay, Leng Yi doesn't talk much, just follow me, there's nothing unaccustomed." ”

"The person chosen by the prince can be trusted. But you should also be more careful and be careful. Song Hong couldn't help it, but he still had to instruct Xue Ning.

Xue Ning nodded: "Okay, brother, I know, I will be careful everywhere." It's not too early, I'll go back to rest first, so I won't disturb your rest. ”

Back in the courtyard, Xue Ning handed over the coldness to Xia He and Qiu Ye, returned to the room by himself, freshened up, and fell asleep.

The next day, Xue Ning woke up near noon, and was about to have lunch, when the servants came to the palace, saying that someone came to the palace, and that the queen held a banquet in the palace tonight in order to celebrate Xue Ning being named the county lord, and invited Xue Ning to the palace for a banquet.

Xue Ning has been named the county lord for several days, and the queen has not moved, and now she suddenly wants to set up a banquet to celebrate her, Xue Ning is a little strange.

After lunch, Xue Ning found Song Hong and talked about entering the palace tonight: "Brother, do you say that the queen will sincerely celebrate for me?"

"If you were in the past, you were just a young lady of the Guogong Mansion, and the queen would naturally congratulate you sincerely. But now, you are Li Yinhong's future princess, and the Guogong Mansion is biased towards Li Yinhong for you, and the queen is afraid that it will be uncomfortable. ”

The Guogong Mansion came forward to guarantee Li Yinhong for Xue Ning, which means that it is on Li Yinhong's side. When the queen saw this situation, she was naturally very unhappy in her heart. is displeased, how can he sincerely celebrate Xue Ning?

Xue Ning expected this before she came, but now that Song Hong said it to her face, she was still a little helpless in her heart: "It seems that when I enter the palace tonight, I won't be able to have a good meal." ”

"You won't be full of feasts, and you can't eat so much in front of so many people. Grandmother has instructed someone to prepare some food for you in advance, and you can eat early. ”

Xue Ning nodded and responded to Song Hong's words: "Okay, I know." ”

Not long after the afternoon, the meal prepared by the Duchess of the Protector was delivered to Xue Ning. Xue Ning wasn't too hungry, so he ate some casually, and then began to dress up.

Although I knew that the queen didn't really want to celebrate her today, after all, this was the first time Xue Ning had entered the palace for a banquet after being named the county lord, so she naturally had to dress up well.

The Duchess of the Protector sent someone to prepare a grand costume and sent someone to dress her up carefully. Looking at himself dressed so carefully in the mirror, Xue Ning felt a little strange: "Grandmother, wouldn't it be too exaggerated for me to dress up like this?"

"It's a celebration for you, and you're naturally the protagonist. is not only the protagonist, but also naturally grander. Seeing her granddaughter so beautiful, the eyes of the Duchess of the Protector were full of love.

Hearing what the Duchess of the Protector said, Xue Ning was also a little relieved: "Grandmother, will I be deliberately embarrassed when I enter the palace this time?"

"The Guogong Mansion has not clearly supported Li Yinhong now, and the queen should not understand how to make it difficult for you. However, just because the queen doesn't show up doesn't mean that others won't come forward, you still have to be careful everywhere. But you only need to remember that you are the honorable Miss Guogongfu, and the emperor is the lord of the county, so you don't have to be afraid of anyone. ”

Hearing this, Xue Ning nodded heavily: "Grandmother, I know." ”

Leaving for the palace, Xue Ning brought Leng Yi and Xia He into the palace together. This was Xue Ning's first time entering the palace as the county lord, and she was still a little nervous in her heart.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Xue Ning got out of the carriage and followed his father-in-law who was waiting at the door into the palace and arrived at the imperial garden.

There was still some time before the dinner, and everyone gathered in the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers and talk. Xue Ning had also been to such a banquet before, but she was not the protagonist at that time, so she could not greet others in the corner.

But now, she has become the protagonist, and it is impossible to hide in the corner and not say hello to others.

Xue Ning stepped forward and curtsied towards the queen: "I've seen the queen's mother, the courtiers are late, please forgive the mother." ”

"It's okay, today was originally to celebrate you, how can I ask you to make amends?" The queen reached out to help Xue Ning, pursed her lips and showed a smile, "The young lady of this Guogong Mansion is really beautiful." ”

Xue Ning stood up straight, hung his head, pursed his lips and smiled: "The queen is in love." ”

"The queen mother is right, the young lady of this country's mansion is indeed very smart. If you want me to see it, it is very similar to the young lady of the Guogong Mansion in the past. A woman in a pink palace dress stepped forward and echoed the queen's words.

The "young lady of the Guogong Mansion" in their mouths refers to Xue Ning's mother, Xue Ning has never seen her mother who knows that she is here, and she is still a little curious about her in her heart.

As a few people talked, they didn't notice that Liao Qingyu's eyes were full of jealousy when he was standing not far away. Originally, these banquets were by the queen's side, and she was the one who received so much praise from so many people. But now, this person has been replaced by Xue Ning.

Xue Ning's appearance took away the position of princess of Li Yinhong, whom she had begged for so many years. Now that he has taken away the attention of so many people, Liao Qingyu is full of jealousy: "Xue Ning, why are you?"

"Yu'er, why do you say this queen is so good to her?" Zhang Manyuan stood beside Liao Qingyu, his eyes were full of contempt, "It's just a person from the mountains, what do you know?"

When Liao Qingyu heard this, she immediately thought about it: "Whether she is from the mountains or not, she is also the young lady of the Guogong Mansion and the county lord of the emperor." Even if she can't play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it doesn't matter. ”

"It doesn't matter how it is, an official lady can't play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what kind of official lady is it. Zhang Manyuan snorted coldly, "I'm going to make this Xue Ning ugly in front of so many people." ”

Zhang Manyuan snorted coldly and quickly stepped forward. She didn't see that Liao Qingyu showed a wicked smile after she left.

"The queen mother, the courtiers have something to say. Zhang Manyuan stepped forward and curtsied towards the queen.

The queen saw Zhang Manyuan and nodded: "You say." ”

"I heard that the young lady of this Guogong Mansion used to play the piano the best, so in this case, Miss Ning will definitely not be bad. It's still early for the banquet, so why don't we let Miss Ning play a song for us?"

When Xue Ning heard this, he looked at Zhang Manyuan coldly. She clearly wants to make things difficult for Xue Ning, the real Xue Ning was born in the mountains and wilderness, what piano can he play.
