Chapter Seventy-Three: Hot on the Outside and Cold on the Inside

Because he was invited to the banquet, early the next morning, Xie Ning changed into a long-lost women's dress, and her black hair was pulled into a falling horse bun under Xiaoyue's skillful hands, and a layer of jasmine hair oil was smeared, giving birth to a soft luster against the background of the morning light.

After packing up, Shainin asked the time and went out. Yesterday, Qin Feng had already agreed with her, and when he went to the banquet, he would take her with him.

Xie Ning originally thought that after the post inviting her to see off Qin Feng was sent to the Hou Mansion, it would cause a storm. Unexpectedly, neither Uncle Hou nor the Xiang family did anything to stop her, and they sent her some things as usual, and there was no movement. Even Gao Yiyan just asked her to help bring a letter to Gu Qingyun, contrary to her previous bad attitude, and as for the sour words, she didn't say a word.

She didn't know what was wrong with it, but she was keenly aware of the change in the attitude of the people in the Hou Mansion towards Qin Feng, and even more felt that he was in a difficult situation. I was also secretly vigilant in my heart, for fear that at today's 'Hongmen Banquet', King Xuan would be unfavorable to them.

Xie Ning stood outside the Hou Mansion and waited, and after a short time, he ushered in the carriage without a trace. With a slight leap, she jumped onto the carriage parked in front of her, lifted the curtain and entered, but her eyes met the three figures in the carriage.

The furnishings in this carriage are not ornate, but they are very spacious. The three-legged low table in the center separates the two rows of couches. Sensing Xie Ning's action of lifting the curtain, Xiao Yan, who had his back to the car door, turned his head to look, but failed to meet Xie Ning's gaze.

At the other end of the carriage were Qin Feng and Gu Qingyun, who were sitting opposite Xiao Yan. A handsome man, a woman with a good face, such as Yu Shengxue's moon-white brocade dress, and a Danzhu skirt as bright as a begonia, the two sat side by side, with wide sleeves in one place, and they were also very matched.

After being stunned for a moment, Xie Ning sat down and greeted the other two: "Miss Gu, Brother Xiao." ”

Gu Qingyun nodded reservedly, and her voice was very kind, "Miss Xie is dressed very well today." ”

Her praise attracted Xiao Yan's scrutiny of attention. Xie Ning's hair bun is combed well today, and the few beaded flowers on it are also just right, with the fresh apricot yellow bunch skirt on her body, it feels like a little jasper.

Xie Ning was uncomfortable, and was about to divert the topic, when Xiao Yan winked at her and teased: "Sister Xie, isn't it a maid who has changed her hair?" ”

really told him that Xie Ning's hair was combed by himself in the past, and it was indeed not as much as Xiaoyuehui's style, and it was beautifully combed.

It seems that this combing is also a science. Xie Ning muttered in his heart, and glanced at Gu Qingyun's delicate bun, secretly sighing that the long road was long.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

The sound of coughing from the diagonal opposite side broke the silence in the car, Xie Ning retracted his thoughts, quickly took out the teacup from the tray next to his hand and poured it full, and looked at Qin Feng anxiously.

I saw that the blood on his face had faded, he covered his lips with one hand, leaned sideways inward against the car window, and coughed incessantly. Seeing this, Xie Ning hurriedly bent down and handed the teacup to Qin Feng and poured it into his mouth steadily.

The cup was empty, Qin Feng's cough gradually weakened, Xie Ning put down the tea cup in his hand, turned around and sat down, staring at Qin Feng's gaze but did not retract it.

There was another person in the car, who was also worried. After the silence in the car returned, Gu Qingyun's frowning brows stretched slightly, and the soft voice when she spoke was full of worry, "Since Your Highness is unwell, you can't go to the banquet today." Why don't you send someone to Wangxian Tower to talk to King Xuan? ”

"Ahem," Qin Feng moved to the window again, and after suppressing the irrepressible cough, he refused in a low voice: "It's all here, let's go." Because of my illness, we can't get together a few times a year, and now it's rare for the fourth brother to have a heart, and it's not good for me to spoil the fun. ”

Gu Qingyun's eyes flashed lightly, as if she had thought of something, and her eyes dimmed for a moment, "It's okay." The exit is imminent, and His Royal Highness should pay more attention. ”

is also a woman, with the convenience of distance, Shaining, who sat opposite, was almost easy, and she could distinguish the pulse and affection revealed between her words, she thought that she was not a good matchmaker, so she simply sat in the car honestly, did not interject, so as not to be self-defeating and spoil the atmosphere at this time.

Xie Ning thought well, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yan beside him had no eyes, and as soon as Gu Qingyun's words fell, he said loudly: "Ziyue will always be sick several times this year, and it can be avoided if you pay attention." Fortunately, there are many famous doctors in Anwangfu, and there is no big problem with diagnosis and treatment every day. Qingyun, you don't have to worry too much about him. ”

Leaning his back against the car window, Qin Feng glanced at Xiao Yan coldly, with a noncommittal attitude, but it was more like a silent acquiescence.

There were lively voices outside the car, and after a while, the group arrived outside the Wangxian Tower. Xie Ning, who was sitting outside, was the first to get out of the carriage, Xiao Yan followed, turned around and was about to help Gu Qingyun behind him, but was politely rejected by the other party - "Miss Xie, can you come and help me get out of the car?" ”

Hearing the call, Xie Ning turned around, walked closer, stretched out his hand to help Gu Qingyun down, and smiled proudly at Xiao Yan on the side.

Xiao Yan saw her deliberate move, and in addition to her black face, she didn't forget to point to Qin Feng who came out of the curtain, and teased: "His Royal Highness King An is not feeling well today, Xie Nuxia should go and help people." ”

Xie Ning took the opportunity to look at it, only to see that Qin Feng's pale face was little blood, and he was hesitantly stretching out his hand, when Qin Feng's cold voice came from his ear - "I can do it myself, why bother with you to help." ”

Keenly noticing the solemn look on Qin Feng's face, Xie Ning couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart. Since the two met, it was the first time she had been treated by the other party with such an indifferent attitude.

Qin Feng must have been angry to say such a thing without words, which embarrassed the three of them.

The first to come back to her senses was Gu Qingyun, she didn't wear a veil today, and her smile was even more noticeable, "It seems that we came early, why don't we go in first and wait for a few highnesses in the box." ”

At this time, there were many people around who recognized Gu Qingyun's identity, and after the Chinese Valentine's Day, because of the experience of Yun Zhilou guessing the lamp, the reputation of this Gu Xiang's daughter was even more far-reaching. Xie Ning stood at the door of the restaurant, and he could hear the discussion from the teahouse opposite.

It's really exhausting from fame. Secretly sighed in his heart, Xie Ning also echoed: "Your Highness, let's go in and sit down." ”

Qin Feng glanced at her and didn't respond, but took the lead and walked towards the building.

Could it be that he is still angry? Xie Ning touched his nose and looked at Qin Feng's indifferent back, a little unclear.

"Miss Xie is puzzled?" Gu Qingyun took a step behind, with a smile on her face, so that Xie Ning, who was guessed to be thinking about it, did not feel evil, and nodded lightly.

"His Royal Highness looks approachable, but he has a hot personality on the outside and cold on the inside," Gu Qingyun's voice was a little lonely, "He has no cleanliness habits, but he has never allowed others to get close, and he does everything himself, except for no trace, probably only a scoundrel like Xiao Yan can make friends with him." ”
