This look made Ye Qingning surprised and delighted: "Cousin Yue, why are you here?" "The delicate girl in the goose yellow dress is actually Zhang Yue, the young lady of the British Mansion.

Zhang Yue didn't expect to meet Ye Qingning here, and he was happy to meet him.

Ye Qinglan and Zhang Yue have only met a few times, and they don't have any friendship, but she has always had a good impression of this handsome girl. But later, since I heard Gu Xiyu say that the Dingguo Duke and his wife intended to marry the British Mansion, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when I saw Zhang Yue again.

Of course, this subtle embarrassment is only Ye Qinglan alone. Zhang Yue didn't know anything, but when she saw Ye Qinglan, she greeted her very politely: "Cousin Lan, I haven't seen you for many days." How's it going? ”

Ye Qinglan came back to her senses and smiled and said a few words.

Ye Qingning and Zhang Yue have always been close, and they held Zhang Yue's hand with a smile and said: "Today, the concubine Niangniang summoned my mother and me into the palace and rewarded me with a lot of things, which can be regarded as adding makeup to me. Speaking of adding makeup, Ye Qingning couldn't help blushing: "By the way, why did you enter the palace today?" ”

Zhang Yue didn't know what she thought, and her expression was a little unnatural, but she responded generously: "It was the queen mother who summoned my mother and me into the palace." As soon as I had lunch, the Queen Mother asked me to lead me around the Imperial Garden. ”

…… It turned out that he was also sent around! I don't know what the queen mother and my cousin are going to say, but they also broke Zhang Yue away.

Ye Qingning showed a knowing smile, and then asked in a low voice: "Good manner, how could the queen mother summon you to the palace?" ”

Zhang Yue refused to answer this question head-on: "I don't know very well. My mother told me to come, and I followed. ”

Ye Qinglan's heart moved quietly. Empress Gu would never be bored enough to summon Zhang Yue into the palace at will...... Could it be that Queen Gu also wants to promote the relationship between Zhang Yue and Gu Xinian?

Thinking of this, Ye Qinglan only felt indescribably depressed in her heart. Although she is very sure that Gu Xinian is not the kind of man who is at the mercy of others, if the family puts pressure together, there will be Queen Gu to marry...... Will he be able to make it through?

"Cousin Yue. It's rare to meet you here, why don't we visit the Imperial Garden together! It's more crowded and more lively. Ye Qingning smiled and said.

Zhang Yue didn't respond immediately, but politely asked the palace maid who led her out. When the palace maid smiled and said that there was no big problem, Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Okay, Cousin Ning, let's go together!" ”

Ye Qingning's etiquette is already excellent, but Zhang Yue's calmness and careful distinction are even stronger.

Ye Qinglan couldn't help but look at Zhang Yue carefully. In terms of appearance, Zhang Yue is actually not too outstanding. But the bookish atmosphere on his body is very pleasing to the eye, and his calm temperament is far better than that of girls of the same age, even if he is a picky person. I probably can't fault any shortcomings. Moreover, her identity as a British princess and Gu Xinian is also a good match......

The more Ye Qinglan thought about it, the more it was not a taste. For the first time in my life, I experienced the feeling of being sour.

Ye Qingning and Zhang Yue were talking and laughing, and they didn't notice Ye Qinglan's silence for a while. After walking for a long time, I only visited a corner of the Imperial Garden. Ye Qingning felt a little tired, so he found a pavilion to sit down and rest for a while.

It just so happened that not far away was an elaborate pavilion with quaint stone tables and stone benches. It's a lot of fun to sit.

Zhang Yue glanced at Ye Qingning a few times, and joked with a smile: "In the end, I want to be a bride, and I am much more stable than before." ”

Ye Qingning's face flushed, and she immediately fought back: "Cousin Yue made fun of me again, and when you get married in the future, see how I make fun of you." ”

Zhang Yue's smile was slightly paused. She is one year older than Ye Qingning. But Ye Qingning is about to get married, but her family affairs have not yet been decided......

Ye Qingning saw that she was silent, and secretly regretted that she had lost her words. I don't know how to remedy it.

Ye Qinglan interjected at the right time: "Sixth sister, cousin Yue, look at the bunch of peonies over there in the pavilion, it's really good!" ”

Ye Qingning immediately took over the conversation and praised the peony with a smile. Finally relieved the embarrassment just now.

Zhang Yue soon returned to normal. casually continued to laugh with Ye Qingning.

After sitting idle for a while, the palace maid who led Zhang Yue out reminded with a smile: "Miss Zhang has been out for so long. It's time to go back to Fengyi Palace. Lest the queen be in a hurry. ”

Zhang Yue responded with a smile, and said to Ye Qingning kindly: "You and Cousin Lan will transfer a little longer, and I will go back to Fengyi Hall first." ”

Ye Qingning nodded, and after Zhang Yue and his party left, he sighed in annoyance: "I said the wrong thing again just now." Cousin Yue, don't be annoyed. ”

Ye Qinglan soothed: "Cousin Yue is not the kind of person who is cautious, and she will not get angry because of an unintentional word. You can rest assured. ”

Ye Qingning thought about it, Zhang Yue was indeed not the kind of girl with a small belly, so he also put his mind at ease.

Ye Qinglan weighed it in her heart for a moment, and asked tentatively: "By the way, Sixth Sister, I remember that Cousin Yue seems to be a year older than you!" Why hasn't you been married? ”

Generally speaking, most of the relatives of aristocratic girls are decided at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and then wait for a year and a half to get married. Zhang Yue is already sixteen years old, and it is rare that he has not yet decided on a family affair.

Ye Qingning hesitated for a moment before he whispered, "I don't know this very well. However, I heard my mother mention it once, probably because Cousin Yue is the eldest daughter in the house, and my cousin and aunt all want Cousin Yue to marry a good family, but they pick and choose, but it is delayed. ”

The door of the British government is placed here, and there will be no more than a few people in the entire capital who can be called the right person. There are even fewer age-appropriate. Zhang Yuan and his wife hoped that their daughter would marry well, but they didn't expect that picking things up from east to west delayed Zhang Yue. A year has passed, and Zhang Yue is already sixteen. Zhang Yuan and his wife couldn't help but get anxious. It's Zhang Yue himself, he doesn't say it, and he is probably secretly anxious in his heart. So Ye Qingning just said casually just now, and Zhang Yue was touched.

After hearing this, Ye Qinglan did not speak.

According to Ye Qingning, Zhang Yuan and his wife may have fallen in love with Gu Xinian a long time ago, and they have been waiting for the Dingguo Mansion to come to the door to propose marriage......

Ye Qingning finally sensed that something was wrong with Ye Qinglan, and wanted to ask carefully, but after thinking about it, it was inconvenient to talk here. It's better to wait until you get home.

When he arrived at Shen Shizheng, the Zheng family led Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan to bid farewell to Concubine Zheng Guifei and went out of the palace to return to Changyuanbo's mansion.

I don't know what Zheng Guifei and Zheng said before, in short, Zheng was obviously in a good mood along the way. There was always a smile on his face, and he joked with Ye Qingning: "Ning'er, with the noble concubine Niangniang adding makeup to you, you are really beautiful this time." ”

There is no girl who doesn't love jewelry, and Ye Qingning is one of them. Thinking of those boxes of exquisite jewelry, my mood really improved.

Zheng smiled again: "It is estimated that in a few days, your eldest aunt will also come to add makeup to you, and there is also the British Mansion, your cousin and aunt have always loved you, and they will definitely send you some good things at the bottom of the box." ”

When it came to the British Mansion, Ye Qingning immediately remembered Zhang Yuelai, and said with a smile: "By the way, mother, there is something I almost forgot to tell you." Just now, when I was in the imperial garden with my tenth sister, I ran into Cousin Yue! ”

Zheng was stunned: "Why did she enter the palace too?" ”

"She entered the palace with her cousin." Ye Qingning replied: "I heard that the queen mother wants to summon them. ”

Zheng snorted and groaned. Queen Gu naturally would not summon foreign women into the palace for no reason, and this time she not only summoned the British Duchess, but also let Zhang Yue enter the palace together. There must be some reason for this......

"Mother, why did the queen summon Cousin Yue?" Ye Qingning asked curiously: "Do you want to be a matchmaker and marry Cousin Yue?" ”

The Zheng family didn't want to say more, but after thinking about it, Ye Qingning is also a big boss, and he is about to get married. In the future, you have to learn to use your brain more. It doesn't hurt to talk to her about these things.

"Ten have** is to protect the media." Zheng said very surely: "Sister Yue is not too young, I really can't afford to delay." In any case, we have to settle the family affairs this year. The queen mother summoned your cousin and Sister Yue at this time, it must be for Sister Yue's family affairs. ”

Ye Qingning nodded first, and then frowned: "But, how could the queen mother care so much about Cousin Yue's family affairs?" ”

Zheng smiled faintly. What else can it be for? Of course, I want to win over the British government. Queen Gu really worked hard for the crown prince. As long as you can take advantage of the opportunity, you will never miss it.

Ye Qinglan also thought of this, and her heart sank suddenly.

In order to win over the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, Empress Gu arranged for Shen Changan and Gu Xiyu to meet, just under the idea of marriage. Now, it would be impossible to say that Queen Gu didn't hit Gu Xinian with her mind......

Ye Qingning's mind spun quickly, and he also came to this astonishing conclusion, and suddenly gasped: "The queen mother doesn't want Cousin Yue to marry Cousin Gu!" ”

Zheng smiled approvingly: "You're right, the queen mother should have this plan." Looking at the entire capital, among the men who have not yet married, in terms of family lineage, appearance, and talent, if Xi Nian says second, probably no son of any family dares to call him first. If the queen mother protects this matchmaker, your cousin and aunt will not know how to be happy! ”

Ye Qingning: "......"

Seeing that her face was wrong, Zheng Shi was slightly displeased in his heart, and glared at her: "You are already going to get married, don't worry about these things." "I still miss Gu Xinian!

Ye Qingning knew that the Zheng family had misunderstood him, but he couldn't explain this misunderstanding. Worried about Ye Qinglan again, he couldn't help but glance at Ye Qinglan.

Ye Qinglan didn't show anything unusual, just lowered her eyelids, and the corners of her lips were tightly pursed.

Ye Qingning sighed secretly, and his mood became heavy.

If that's really the case...... What should the tenth sister do?
