Ning Xi weighed the post in his hand several times, and finally determined that this was really sent by the Third Princess's Mansion. But she is even more strange, the first prince has not many heirs, and she has a total of four sons and three daughters, of which the third prince and the second princess also died, so for his own daughters, the first emperor has always been stingy and pampered, which has also developed the proud and conceited character of the third princess.

In her memory, her third aunt has a very high vision, and she has always disdained to associate with people she doesn't look down on, let alone hold any banquets.

Ning Xi looked at Mama Lin, who sent the post in, and asked, "Mama, what do you mean by the third aunt?" ”

This Mama Lin was originally the grandmother next to the Xu family, but because she left her former housekeeper Mama in the princess's mansion, Xu saw that she was unavailable, and specially sent Mama Lin over for her to send her, Ning Xi was also relieved of Xu's family, so she asked Mama Lin to manage the affairs of the entire yard, this month, Mama Lin has kept her yard in good order, and she is quite satisfied. By the way, soon after she moved in, the British Duke renamed the yard Xiyuan, saying that it was like a place for girls to live.

Mama Lin replied with a smile and vaguely: "The children of the third princess have also reached the age of kissing. ”

This sentence immediately woke up Ning Xi, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, no matter how pretentious the third princess is, she can't care about the marriage of her children.

Knowing that he was just a companion this time, Ning Xi didn't care anymore, but only Ning Miao was in this mansion when she was choosing a parent, and the third princess was married to the second son of the Marquis of Wuchang, and the family was also worthy, I was afraid that the eldest aunt would not miss this opportunity, so thinking about Ning Miao, Ning Miao's sisters entered the house.

Ning Xi was busy calling for tea.

After Ning Miao sat down, she glanced at the post next to Ning Xi, and said with a light smile: "The third sister doesn't have to greet the two of us, they are all sisters, so how polite can they be." ”

Ning Xi nodded and smiled naughtily: "Since the second sister has said so, don't think my tea is bitter for a while." ”

Hearing this, Ning Yu on the side hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't use your bitter tea to entertain me, I can't stand the taste." ”

As soon as Ning Wei's words fell, Ning Xi and Ning Miao covered their mouths and laughed, remembering that when Ning Yu came to her for the first time, she just drank a sip of tea and drank two cups of honey.

"Big sister, don't worry, that tea is prepared for myself, and I naturally have its tea leaves here to entertain guests."

Ning Yu glared at her when she heard this: "Then you deliberately entertained us with that Laoshi Zikuding tea last time?" ”

Ning Xi's eyes widened innocently: "Last time, it may have been the maid who made a mistake, you also know that the maid next to me is still young and prone to a little errone." ”

Tanqing silently glanced at her master, how could she feel that her master was becoming more and more shameless.

The three of them joked again, and Ning Miaocai got down to business: "I'm going to the Third Princess's Mansion for a banquet in a few days, and my mother said that she wants us to make two sets of clothes, let us come over and ask you what tricks you like?" ”

As he spoke, he asked the maid beside him to hand over a few tricks to Ning Xi, and Ning Xi didn't shirk it, took it, looked at it a few times, and took out two of them to Ning Miao.

Seeing Ning Miao talking about the banquet a few days later, I don't know if she didn't know the deep meaning or really didn't care, Ning Xi had the intention to test it, so she deliberately asked: "I don't know what the purpose of the third prince is to host this banquet." ”

Ning Miao glanced at Ning Xi and said lightly: "It doesn't matter what her purpose is, it has nothing to do with us anyway, we just have to play well." ”

Ning Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, what did he mean by this that he had no intention of the Third Princess's Mansion? It's a pity, she originally wanted to be a matchmaker.

"yes, whatever their royalty is thinking, all I know is that I can finally go out and breathe." Ning Yu said with a big grin.

"I thought my aunt wouldn't let my eldest sister out of the house." After all, Ning Yu is about to get married after the New Year, and she has been detained by the Xu family in the house for a long time.

"Originally, it was not allowed, but when I heard that Duchess An Guo would also come over, my mother agreed, thinking that I wanted my sister to go and see my future mother-in-law."

After speaking, Ning Xi looked at Ning Yu, her eyes were full of fun, and she laughed out loud without embarrassment.

Ning Yu rolled her eyes at the two: "Two narrow ghosts, tea can't stop your mouth." ”

Hearing this, the two laughed even more happily.

Within a few days, it was the day of the banquet, Ning Xi was wearing a light purple Luo skirt, embroidered with a few acacia flowers on the skirt, her hair was simply tied up, and two jade hairpins were inserted, which was not grand enough and not outstanding, but fortunately, it was still lively, which was suitable for her age.

When I went out, I met other ladies in the house, although Ning Yan was still young, Xiao Qin's family still dressed Ning Yan well, she looked really beautiful, but she was less innocent.

And Ning Miao is wearing a goose-yellow Luo skirt, her makeup is quite exquisite, but she can only be regarded as a decent dress, it seems that she really does not plan to be the daughter-in-law of the third princess.

On the other hand, Ning Wei is much more delicate, wearing a lotus-colored long skirt, the skirt and cuffs are embroidered with gold silk and moire, wearing a pair of jade phoenix hairpins on her head, and the ear is matched with the earrings, the makeup is elegant, and Ning Wei is a big beauty. However, Ning Fei's reluctant appearance ruined the beauty of the makeup, it seemed that she was not willing to dress up like this, and then looked at the happy Xu family on the side, Ning Yan had a slight smile in her eyes, it seemed that Xu was very satisfied with this family business.

When she arrived at the Third Princess's Mansion, the Third Princess didn't have much joy when she saw Ning Xi, after all, the Third Princess and the eldest princess were not from the same mother, and the relationship between the two has always been very weak, and she will not pay much attention to Ning Xi's niece, and Ning Xi is not disappointed, anyway, she doesn't have much affection for this aunt.

After meeting with the master, Xu pulled the three of them to a noble lady, Ning Xi and Ning Miao looked at Ning Yu together, and Ning Yu secretly glared at the two of them.

Duchess An Guo looks more than ten years older than Xu's, but she can still see her beauty when she was young, I heard that she had this son at the age of nearly thirty, so she was quite cautious in choosing her daughter-in-law, and finally chose Ning Wei for some reason, not that Ning Wei was bad, but Ning Wei was frank and not good at calculation, she also thought that Duchess An Guo would find a shrewd daughter-in-law for her son? I heard that the two met when they were children, but there is still the affection of childhood sweethearts in it.

Duchess An Guo saw Ning Xi for the first time, and after hearing Ning Xi's identity, she was not as surprised as others, but patted Ning Xi's shoulder with a loving face, and said two "good boys" again and again, and then asked someone to give Ning Xi and the other three people a jade pendant, saying that it was a meeting gift for juniors, and the three of them did not shirk and put it away.

Then he said something to the three of them, and then let them go, during which he didn't specifically ask Ning Wei, which made Ning Wei feel a lot more at ease, but Ning Xi was still keenly aware that Duchess Anguo's eyes stayed on Ning Yu for the most time, and it seemed that she didn't care about this future daughter-in-law.

Out of the house, Ning Wei breathed a heavy sigh of relief, Ning Xi saw that the maid who guided them was quite far away, so she quipped: "I see that Duchess An Guo is very kind, and the eldest sister will not have to worry about her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law when she marries in the future." ”

Ning Yu rewarded Ning Xi with a slap in the eye: "What does the little girl say about marrying, she is not ashamed." ”

Ning Xi grinned, took Ning Wei's hand, and said, "Everyone is going to get married, what's the shame, big sister, look at the appearance of Duchess Anguo, your future husband should not look bad, I heard that you met when you were young, what does he look like?" ”

Ning Yu frowned, and said with some disgust: "When he was young, he was not as tall as me, and he was very timid, I have never seen such a crying boy, and I don't know what my mother thinks, she will marry me to a crybaby." ”

Ning Xi was embarrassed, wasn't it, the person in Ning Yan's mouth was really the beautiful son she heard about in her previous life?

Waiting for Ning Xi and the three of them to walk away, a man slowly walked out from behind the rockery, holding a snow-white puppy in his hand, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, are you a crybaby?

In a pavilion in the Third Princess's Mansion, three men sat around a table, with a pot of wine and a few plates of pastries on the table, and there were no servants around, when they heard footsteps at the door, one of the men in dark green embroidered robes looked at the door and chuckled: "Shaohuan, you will be late." ”

The man at the door walked in with a cold face, but the sun fell on his face but his expression softened a lot, this person was Zhongyi Hou, Shu Heng, and the word Shaohuan.

Shu Heng looked at the man who was speaking, and said lightly: "I was stumped by something, so I was late." After a pause, he said, "Ziyu, as a prince, you always run out of the palace, which is not appropriate." ”

The man in dark green clothes was none other than the second prince Li Yu, and the other two were Yang Xu, the young master of the Third Princess's Mansion, and Xu Yifan, the prince of Anguo.

Li Yu smiled lightly: "It's so boring to always nest in the palace in a good time, and besides, today is the day when Rong Zhi chooses a wife, how can my cousin be absent." ”

Yang Xu's face turned red, unlike the strength of the third princess, Yang Xu is an extremely shy character.

"My cousin is about to stop laughing at me, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't bear to break my mother's heart, I would never agree to her holding this banquet."

Xu Yifan on the side smiled brightly: "The third princess should be anxious, you are the eldest of the four, it's time to start a family." ”

Yang Xu's face turned a little redder again.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, Shu Heng walked to the table and poured a glass of wine and slowly tasted it.

Because of the special identity of the two princes, their interactions are extremely secretive, no one thought that the four of them would become friends, and among these four people, Xu Yifan is a funny person, but Shu Heng is a strict character, Xu Yifan likes to make fun of Shu Heng the most, and when he saw Shu Heng staying out of the way, he became playful.

"Shaohuan, your age is not young, when do you plan to get married, do you have a girl you like, say it and let us advise you."

Shu Heng didn't bother to raise his eyelids, and replied coldly: "When did you become a woman with a long tongue." ”

Yang Xu and Li Yu on the side were used to seeing this kind of scene, so they were not surprised, and sat on the side to watch someone die.

Xu is used to being hit by Shu Heng, Xu Yifan not only did not get angry, but stretched his face a lot closer: "I think about your Hou Mansion, I haven't seen you care about any girl over the years, and you have a cold face all day long, I don't know how to please girls, I'm afraid that no girl will marry you in the future, you can only live with your dog, by the way, speaking of that dog, how do you think you brought it today." ”

Shu Heng turned the wine glass with his right hand, turned his head to look at Xu Yifan, a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, Xu Yifan's eyes widened, he was not mistaken, Shu Heng was willing to smile at him.

"No matter how bad I am, I'm better than some crybaby who likes to hang around behind girls."

Xu Yifan was petrified, looking at the smile on Shu Heng's face, he couldn't help but want to scold the street, he Shu Heng was also a little ruthless, and even turned out the black history of his childhood, and although he cried a little when he was a child, when did he love to follow the girl around, no, how could Shu Heng know that he loved to cry when he was a child.

"Who sued you?"

Shu Heng ignored Xu Yifan, and put his eyes on the wine glass again, with that focused appearance, it seemed that there was nothing else in the world that could distract him.

When Xu Yifan was frying, there was a silver bell-like laughter outside the window, attracted by the laughter, Xu Yifan looked out the window.

They are on the attic on the second floor, and each lady is arranged by the third princess to play in the Huxin Pavilion, so that they can see the woman chatting in the Huxin Pavilion at a glance, which is also the intention of the third princess, hoping that their son can choose a wife who meets his heart.

And Xu Yifan saw the woman who laughed the loudest among them at a glance, that face, that figure, he had only seen her portrait not long ago, and the two had met when they were children, he would never admit that he was wrong.

"Ning Fei." These two words were almost squeezed out of Xu Yifan's teeth, how could he forget this big-mouthed woman, knowing who else could he have besides her who loved to cry and had a big mouth when he was young.
