Chapter 18: Cousin

Hearing Xie Ning's words, Qin Ze's eyes lit up, "Does my sister live in the Jingyang Hou Mansion?" How did I not know? ”

"Huh?" Xie Ning was at a loss, and he didn't know what he meant. Living in the Jingyang Hou Mansion, what does it have to do with Qin Ze, why should he know?

Qin Ze raised his head to meet Xie Ning's suspicious expression, and was about to open his mouth to speak, but he hesitated for a moment, and turned his gaze to Qin Feng.

"Miss Xie," Qin Feng called out in a positive tone, "Brother Ze and I have not told you anything clearly. ”

Seeing him with a straight face, Xie Ning hesitated for a moment, but still replied loudly: "Gongzi Qin, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"The Marquis Mansion of Jingyang is Zedi's mother's home."

What, what? Isn't this kid Qin Ze her nominal cousin?

Xie Ning, who was shocked by Qin Feng's words, was a little incredulous about this fact.

Because there are only two aunts and grandmothers in the Jingyang Hou Mansion, one is her mother-in-law, and the other is a noble concubine.

Qin is the surname of the country, and Qin Ze, who ranks sixth, is the sixth prince of the son of the noble concubine, as for Qin Feng, who is called the third brother by him, he should be the third prince of the dynasty, King An.

Don't blame the other party for concealing it, she should have thought of it a long time ago. Such a noble brother is not a royal family, what kind of identity will it be.

In just a moment, many thoughts turned in Xie Ning's mind, and when she realized the true identity of the Qin brothers, she didn't care about replying, so she subconsciously leaned over and saluted, racked her brains to come up with such a sentence, and said in a low voice: "Xie Ning doesn't know the number of etiquette, and he has offended a lot, and he still hopes for the two... Haihan. ”

Hearing the pause in her voice, Qin Feng said in a brisk tone, "It's okay." ”

"Sister Xie," Qin Ze pretended to be aggrieved and rubbed beside her, "Don't complain about me and the fourth brother concealing our identities." We're afraid you'll be uncomfortable, so we'reβ€”"

Xie Ning didn't have much to worry about, and Qin Ze's proximity made her soften for a while, and she immediately replied softly: "I don't blame you." ”

Before the words fell, she couldn't help but feel annoyed. The other party is a noble prince, her attitude is so casual, is it a little rude?

After listening to her reply, Qin Ze said happily: "That's good." Sister Xie, why don't we go back to the Hou Mansion together? ”

Xie Ning nodded in agreement, but in his heart he felt that the world was wonderful. Who would have thought that she just went out and got acquainted with her cousin, a prince she had never met.

Wangxian Tower was not close to the Jingyang Marquis Mansion, and Qin Feng thoughtfully rented two carriages. According to his arrangement, Xie Ning was supposed to sit in a car alone, but he couldn't stand Qin Ze's clinginess, so he insisted on sitting with his sister Xie.

The carriage traveled to the Hou Mansion, and the coachman reported the names of King An and the six princes, and the door of the Vermilion Mansion was immediately opened. The two carriages in front and behind did not stop, and drove straight in.

Hearing that the two princes were coming to the mansion, Gao Daonian, the Marquis of Jingyang, personally led the female concubines and nephews of the mansion to the outer courtyard to greet them. The old lady Liu stayed in the Heling Courtyard with joy after re-grooming, waiting for her grandson to come. Only the second old man Gao Daohe, who was not in the mansion, did not show up.

Everyone looked eagerly at the approaching carriage, and when the carriage stopped, they stared intently at the two figures who had been helped down from the carriage one after another, and were about to salute when they were interrupted by a sharp shout.

"Shainin? How did you end up here? ”

Hearing Gao Yiyan's surprised shout, Gao Daonian, who was standing at the forefront, frowned, and didn't have the time to turn around and scold. His eyes swept over Xie Ning, and he turned to bow and bow to the Qin brothers: "See His Royal Highness King An, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince." ”

Seeing this situation, everyone in the Hou Mansion behind them reacted and saluted one after another, "See His Royal Highness King An, see His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince." ”

Qin Feng said softly: "No courtesy." ”

"Two highnesses, how could you come with my niece Xie Ning?"

"It's a long story, today the two of us went on a micro-service, but we encountered some trouble. Thanks to, ahem, thanks to Miss Xie, ahem, ahemβ€”"

"Fourth brother, are you okay?" Hearing Qin Feng's uncontrollable cough, Qin Ze turned around and said anxiously, "Sister Xie, let's help the fourth brother in first." ”

Worried that Qin Feng's cough would happen again, Xie Ning stepped forward quickly, and under the guidance of Uncle Hou, he helped him into the nearest courtyard.

Everyone in the Hou Mansion followed, only Gao Yiyan stood in place, clenched her palms, and muttered in disbelief: "Impossible, King An, King An, how can it be Xie Ning?" ”

"Yan'er," when she didn't see her sister, Gao Yiyao turned around to look for her, "Come here." ”

Gao Yiyan took a few steps forward in amazement, "Sister, you said that Xie Ning and Wang An ......"

"Don't mention Xie Ning to me," Gao Yiyao didn't know what she thought, her face suddenly turned cold, and urged: "Let's go and see King An." ”

The sisters followed into the courtyard, but were stopped outside the inner room.

"Why don't you let us in?"

Choked by Gao Yiyan, He smiled on his face, but there was a trace of disdain in his eyes, "This is what Master Hou personally ordered, I think I am afraid that people will disturb the nobles too much." You see, isn't my aunt and my mother waiting here as well? ”

After listening to He's explanation, Gao Yiyan's face became more and more difficult to look at. All because she noticed that Shainin was not waiting here like everyone else.

In a bad mood, she turned around to look for Gao Yiyao, only to find her sister and mother standing under the corridor where no one was around, whispering softly.

"You asked me to ask Wei Gongzi out, but he clearly had no intention of me. It's not my marriage in the first place, so why should I force it? ”

"Yao'er, how do you know it's not your marriage? In terms of age, near and far, what should you not be in the first place? But your father just gave this family business to Shaining, a wild girl. How do you want your mother to swallow this breath? ”

Gao Yiyao bit her lip, "Mother, why don't I be angry and complain?" It's just that I deceived Shainin today, and deliberately took the carriage away. Now that Xie Ning has become the benefactor of the two highnesses, if she mentions this-"

"Sister," Gao Yiyan, who walked to their side at some point, said hatefully: "If you hadn't tricked Xie Ning into going out, where would she have met His Royal Highness King An and handed over such good luck." ”

Gao Yiyao snorted coldly, and said with disdain on her face: "Why do you want to push everything on me." Regardless of the others, what kind of person is King An, how can he be interested in you? ”

"I never said that I liked him," Gao Yiyan's cheeks were slightly red, and she didn't know whether she was angry or ashamed, and said anxiously, "I'm upset for Qingyun, okay?" ”

"Whether you like it or not, you know it yourself. Pushing it on others, what kind of ability. ”

Seeing the two daughters arguing, Xiang, who was already irritable, was even more upset, only to hear her reprimand in a low voice: "You two are finished, and you don't shut up, you want to invite everyone over to see the joke!" ”
