Chapter 116: Acquaintances Arrive

Besides, the two of them had a past, Xie Ning didn't know that once Qin Xi held a grudge, it was hard to guarantee that he would not be angry with Mama Qin.

Now Gu Qingyun offered to take her to take her for a while, how could Xie Ning not like it? Although she had already made up her mind on the eve of the banquet, if Qin Xi really came to the door, she would not flinch. But the soldier has a cloud: avoid the real and attack the false, with her current situation, if she wants to fight hard with Qin Xi, the king of Xuan, it is really an egg hitting the stone, it is better to avoid it, avoid it, do not confront him head-on for the time being, wait until the future, retry the situation, and wait for the opportunity to deal with it.

Not long after, there were several figures coming from the Hanging Flower Gate, looking from a distance, all of them were high-crowned brocade clothes, and the person at the head was Qin Xi in a purple robe.

Seeing his figure, Xie Ning secretly snorted coldly, quickly looked away, and was about to look back, when someone grabbed his finger, and Wei Qingcheng's cheerful whisper came immediately, "Sister Xie, look, my brother is also here." ”

Seeing her so happy, Xie Ning was embarrassed to dismiss her interest, so he also smiled and agreed: "Yes, you can stay with Brother Qingyang later." ”

As soon as her voice fell, Wei Qingcheng turned his head to look, looked at Xie Ning with a pair of bright eyes, and invited, "Sister Xie will also come with you." ”

Belch...... Xie Ning hesitated for a moment, and was about to open her mouth to refuse, but Gu Qingyun on the side had already refused for her: "Sister Ning is going to enjoy the flowers with us later, I'm afraid there is no time for anything else, can Miss Wei come with her?" ”

Wei Qingcheng blinked his eyelashes, glanced at Gu Qingyun lightly, bit his lip and nodded, "Then I will also walk with you." ”

While a few people were talking, the male guests from the front yard had already approached. Shainin had no intention of glancing. In addition to Qin Xi and Wei Qingyang, they found a few familiar figures, Xiao Yan, who happened to pass by their table, and the son surnamed Xu, who was in Yunzhilou with them on the day of Qixi Festival, and a young boy in Chinese clothes who was obviously shorter than everyone else, was Xie Ning's nominal cousin, Qin Ze, the sixth prince.

When Xie Ning looked at the visitors, Xiao Yan also happened to look at their table. Shainin sensed his gaze. raised her glass and gestured to him, and the other party not only smiled back, but also winked at Gu Qingyun and Wei Qingcheng, who were sitting on her left and right.

"Huh?"

Wei Tingcheng suddenly spoke in surprise. Shainin hurriedly looked sideways. He asked out loud, "What's wrong?" Pleasure? ”

"It's okay," Wei Xiaomei's cheeks were already slightly red, and she shook her head almost imperceptibly. Then he lowered his eyes and replied, "I just saw an acquaintance." ”

Xie Ning immediately understood, and said to confirm: "Are you talking about the son surnamed Xu?" ”

"Well," Wei Chengcheng's answer came, and at the same time, Xie Ning noticed the questioning eyes cast by Gu Qingyun beside him, so he took the initiative to explain: "I am talking to Chengcheng that the son in the dark green Confucian shirt once had a relationship with us." It's what Yun Zhilou saw that day, does Sister Gu have an impression? ”

Gu Qingyun nodded with a smile, her gaze swept between Xie Ning and Wei Qingcheng, "That's Xu Xiwen and Xu Gongzi, and his writing is excellent." ”

Seeing that her tone was familiar, Xie Ning couldn't help but think about it, and suddenly said: "Look at me, I almost forgot, when I guessed the lantern that day, Xu Gongzi also participated, and Sister Gu will definitely leave an impression." ”

Gu Qingyun smiled when she heard this, her eyes naturally glanced at Xie Ning and the others, nodded politely at Wei Tingcheng, and sat down upright again.

***

The excitement on the main seat, Xie Ning didn't pay much attention to it, she didn't have much ink in her stomach, and she couldn't hear anything good or bad about these people's birthday wishes, she listened to it for a while, only to feel that the words and sentences were obscure, and because Qin Xi was present, she retracted her gaze in annoyance,

With so many people coming today, Qin Xi may not notice her, as long as she survives the banquet quietly, she shouldn't cause any trouble.

Xie Ning had a low-key heart, but he didn't want the voice of the birthday words to stop, so Qin Ze followed her direction, shouting as he ran: "Sister Xie, let's sit together." ”

With this shout, the eyes of the four of them all looked in the direction of Xie Ning, and one of them was Qin Xi.

Xie Ning's heart was not good, but he did not show anything to Qin Ze, who did not know the inside story. There was already a servant girl on the side who added a cushion, and Xie Ning was about to stretch out his hand to lead him into the seat, when Xiang Shi on the opposite table said loudly: "Ning'er, what kind of identity does His Royal Highness the Sixth have, how can he sit here." Don't mess with it, let him take a seat at the front. ”

Xiang's "Ning'er" alone was enough for Xie Ning to shiver, and if she listened carefully, the corners of her mouth twitched even more, not to mention that Xiang's words landed, and Qin Xi's gaze fell on her even more unscrupulously.

However, discomfort is discomfort, Xie Ning didn't give Xiang half an ugly look on his face, and replied with a respectful expression: "Uncle's words are wrong, Your Highness's status is precious, and you should do what you want." Sitting here is exactly what His Highness wants. Why should my aunt force Your Highness? ”

Xiang couldn't help but stop talking, glanced at Xie Ning coldly, and then said to Qin Ze with a smile: "Ning'er is reasonable, Your Highness is free to do so, don't pay attention to what I just said." ”

For Xiang's thoughts, Xie Ning can still guess three points, which is nothing more than wanting to take the opportunity to play and make her ugly. At the same time, Xie Ning could have responded to Xiang by sending He Xiaoqing, but considering that Gu Qingyun was sitting beside her at this time, for a while, she was even more embarrassed to use the other party as an excuse, so she had to change to a roundabout way.

Fortunately, according to Xiang's reaction, her words were quite effective.

"Sister Xie, I haven't seen you for many days, why don't you say a few words to me?" After sitting between Xie Ning and Gu Qingyun, Qin Ze complained.

Seeing his aggrieved expression, Xie Ning suddenly remembered his previous grounding in the palace, his heart softened, and he immediately said warmly: "How have you been doing these days?" ”

Qin Ze sighed and pouted: "Sister Xie doesn't know, since the last Ruyi Fang incident, I haven't been out of the palace. Today, I still entrust the old lady with the blessing of the old lady, and I begged my mother for a long time before I was able to come. ”

As an active person, Xie Ning could understand Qin Ze's depression very well, so he nodded with great sympathy, and said loudly: "It's hard to get out of the palace, wait a minute, you have to go around more." ”

"Well," Qin Ze nodded heavily, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled at Xie Ning, "Sister, in two days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there will be a banquet in the palace at that time." This morning, I heard my mother mention that she was going to send a few posts to the Hou Mansion, and I would talk to my mother when I went back, and then we could meet in the palace. ”

Qin Ze said it well, but he didn't know anything about what Xie Ning was thinking. This palace banquet for her is not a place to yearn for, but to avoid it. (To be continued.) )

PS: The place of longing, that's probably what it means, you won't think it's weird, right?
