Chapter 245: The Princess's Illness
Early the next morning, as soon as the two of them finished washing, Gray Wen came to report: "Princess Chun and the county lord of Jianing handed over the name post, and the old lady asked you and Miss He to go to the front hall to welcome guests." ”
Hui Niang was half taken aback and said, "It's so early!"
Qin E smiled: "It must be Jianing's pout, you don't know her temperament yet." ”
Hui Niang also smiled, the two ate a few bites of snacks casually, and went out together, on the way Hui Niang said: "Have you heard that Jianing is going to get married?"
There are rumors in the noble circle in the capital that the emperor wants to marry the lord of Jianing and the prince of Gu Beihou, and Qin E has also heard about it.
"Isn't it undecided, rumors are not to be believed. ”
"The rumors are not groundless, I am afraid that this matter has been confirmed, and it is almost final. ”
Qin E's mood also slowly sank, "If it's true, Jianing she... ”
The two looked at each other and said no more.
Qin E didn't know how much Hui Niang knew, she was deeply panicked.
According to Meng Jiu, the relationship between Gu Beihou and the emperor is delicate, and Jianing married him, and he was simply a victim of whitewashing Taiping.
The emperor usually favors Jianing like that, but he can't bear to treat her like this.
The royal commission is ruthless.
Qin E's heart couldn't help but move, Princess Chun's sudden visit today, is it related to this matter?
The Li family in the northwest has a heavy army and has the support of the Li family, or can they influence the emperor's decision?
Qin E suddenly shuddered, and her footsteps stopped.
Hui Niang said: "Why are you shivering, is it cold, give you my cloak to wear." ”
Qin E hurriedly pressed her hand to untie her belt, "No, I'm not cold, let's go quickly." ”
Huiniang's face was full of suspicion, Qin E buried her head and walked away, and arrived at Mingde Hall after a while.
Princess Chun and the county lord of Jianing followed closely, Huiniang saw that Qin E's face was pale, and secretly shook her hand, Qin E's heart warmed, and she smiled at her.
Jianing's complexion is okay, but her expression is bleak, her eyes are empty, she is obviously a girl who has not yet reached the end of her life, but she has an old state of seeing everything, and Qin E's heart is beating in shock.
Jianing's eyes swept to the two of them, and suddenly jumped, as if a cluster of extinguishing fires was burning again, his stiff and old-fashioned face was also full of vitality, and a small smile bloomed on his lips, vaguely showing his former appearance.
Qin E's eyes were hot, and she blinked violently, before she controlled herself to suppress the dampness that came up, and smiled at her with a big smile.
Princess Chun stretched out her hand and touched the top of Jianing's head, and said to Qin E and Huiniang: "Jianing has been in poor health recently, and she has been bored in the mansion all day, so I want to take her out to relax, it seems that I did the right thing." ”
The old lady said: "It turns out that several of them know each other. ”
Princess Chun smiled: "The three of them have a very good relationship, looking at their appearance, I will think of the days when I played with Sister Ying and Sister Xin when I was a child, time flies so fast." ”
The old lady said: "When I took Yingniang back to my mother's house to live, the three of you wanted to pick peach blossoms and make a flower basket, and the best peach blossoms in the Shen Mansion were all wiped out by you." ”
"Actually, Sister Xin and I are naughty, Sister Ying is scolded by us every time and cleans up the mess for us. Princess Chun sighed slightly, "For more than 20 years, the peach blossoms are still there, and the face is unknown." ”
It was the first time Qin E had heard that the princess had known her mother since she was a child, and she couldn't help but look at the two curiously.
Princess Chun smiled and said, "Your mother is no longer here, and I was afraid of making you sad when I said it, so I didn't mention it to you." ”
Qin E said in her heart that Princess Chun looked up to her everywhere, not only because of Jianing, but also because of her mother's affection.
Princess Chun said to Qin E: "I didn't expect you to be here, it's rare to see each other, let's go play together." ”
Qin E nodded, and glanced at Old Taijun Li with some concern when she got up. Mrs. Li was a little surprised, looked at her quietly and deeply, and said, "Go ahead, I'll talk to Princess Chun." ”
Several people returned to Qin E's residence, and Jianing sat on the hot kang, "Why are you two here?"
Qin E and Hui Niang sat on the kang and the other on the stool. Hui Niang smiled and pouted at Qin E, "You ask her." ”
Qin E said: "This matter is a long story, so don't mention it." ”
Jianing fiddled with the palace silk on the corner of his clothes, although he had a smile on his face, he looked lonely, as if he had something on his mind.
Qin E asked bluntly, "Jianing, what difficulties have you encountered?"
Jianing raised her head and smiled lightly, "You've heard about it too?"
"I heard, is that true?"
Jianing lowered his eyes, "True and fake, what's the difference... After all, I overestimated myself. ”
Jianing didn't continue, Qin E knew that she was complaining about the emperor.
Jianing raised his head, "Don't talk about those boring ones, it's rare to see, let's talk about some happy ones." ”
Qin E talked about the banquet, thinking that Jianing would not be interested, but she didn't expect her to be very interested, "This mansion is square, what is the scenery, it is better to go to our Chunwang Mansion, we can still skate on the lake." ”
Qin E and Hui Niang looked at each other and smiled, and before they could speak, they heard the person at the door arrive first, "Ice skating, this is a good proposal." ”
A few people looked over and saw that the door curtain moved, and Li Yuyao came in from outside. The cold air complemented her cold and unhappy expression.
Jianing hadn't seen Li Yuyao, and a few people had seen the ceremony again, Li Yuyao sat upright on the stool, and said to Qin E: "Cousin Zhang Luo banquet, don't greet me, I can help come up with ideas." Glancing at Hui Niang again, "Let others suffer, I'm idle, and I really don't want to go." ”
Hui Niang lowered her eyes a little embarrassed, and Qin E said: "You are not in good health, and the eldest aunt doesn't want you to be tired, so she found me." As for me, I pulled Hui Niang, who came to see me, to help. I wanted to tell you today, and your news came quickly. ”
Li Yuyao sneered, "Why is the eldest cousin so nervous, as if I'm angry." I'm an idler, happy to help. ”
After speaking, he said to Hui Niang: "Miss He will also go to my place to sit when she has time, but my yard is not as delicate as my eldest cousin, and I have to wronged my sister." ”
As soon as the words fell, Jianing said: "I see that Yuan Niang's yard is ordinary, although the furnishings are quite exquisite, but at first glance it is not an ordinary thing." Your yard is not even as good as this, then the children and grandchildren of your Li family are too shabby. ”
Li Yuyao smiled, and there was a hint of annoyance in her expression.
After sitting for a while, he said that he was unwell and walked away with a straight face.
Jianing stared at the closed curtain, "Is there something wrong with her?"
Qin E and Huiniang were originally a little depressed, but they all laughed out loud when they heard it.
Jianing snorted angrily, "I thought that I was the noblewoman in the capital who had a big temper, but I didn't expect that a mountain was higher than a mountain, and this Miss Li was fiercer than me." Many people privately say that I have the disease of the county lord, and I think she is a princess disease, and she is used to it!"
