Chapter 49: Accidents
A few days later, Xu Jinyu and Ji Yu met, and both of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention the events of the day.
Nowadays, the atmosphere is not strict with women, and it is idle for women from small families to show their faces. However, most of the daughters and ladies of the noble mansion are reserved and dignified, and they will be ridiculed by people when they interact with men in private, let alone show their admiration for each other.
Because of this, Gu Caiping's behavior is particularly despised by people.
Chen Yuanqing admired Xu Jinyu, but it was nothing. However, once it spreads, it will damage Xu Jinyu's reputation. It's better to mention less.
After Ji Yu got the new piano score, she couldn't put it down and practiced for several days. Ji Yu has a belly of straw and doesn't know how to appreciate it at all. I found an excuse to slip away halfway through.
Ji Yu was happy to concentrate on practicing, and occasionally exchanged a few words with Xu Jinyu. The two have been together for a long time and get along very well. Not only Ji Yu, but even Xu Jinyu secretly sighed in her heart.
Why is Ji Yu Ji Ze's sister?
One day in the future, she will expose the adultery ~ affair between Ji Ze and Xiao Zou, so that Ji Ze will be ruined and lose a qiΔ! On that day, how will she face Ji Yu?
Originally, she still had the idea of calculating Ji Yu and wanted to use Ji Yu to deal with Xiao Zou. But now I really can't afford to have that thought
"Cousin Jin, when you were in the palace that day, Princess An Ning asked you to embroider a veil for her, and it has been exactly half a month today. Have you embroidered your veil? Ji Yu asked with a smile.
Xu Jinyu smiled and hummed: "It was embroidered two days ago." Just waiting for the princess to send someone to fetch it. β
Ji Yu smiled when she heard this: "Since Princess An Ning said it specially, she will definitely remember to send someone to get the handkerchief." With her temperament. There will be abundant rewards for you, and you will not be busy in vain. β
Xu Jinyu blinked and smiled playfully: "Why didn't you remind me earlier." I knew it was so. I'll embroider a few more veils, and maybe I'll get more rewards!" β
Ji Yu was amused, and was about to say something, Shuqin hurriedly came over with a happy face: "Miss, Tinglan Courtyard sent someone to send a letter, saying that someone from the palace is here, let you and Miss Biao go to Tinglan Courtyard now." β
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here! It must have been Princess An Ning who sent someone to the mansion.
Xu Jinyu and Ji Yu looked at each other and smiled
The two went to Tinglan Temple together.
Xiao Zou and Zou are there. Ji Yu also came.
A palace maid in a blue palace dress is standing with a smile. This palace maid is not young, about twenty-four or five years old, and she looks dignified. Outstanding temperament.
Xiao Zou smiled and introduced: "Jin Niang, this is Xue Qing, the personal palace maid next to Princess An Ning. β
Xue Qing smiled and blessed: "The slave maid has seen the second miss and has seen Miss Xu." β
Xue Qing is the palace maid in charge of Princess An Ning's side, and she is quite decent in front of the concubines and ladies in the palace on weekdays. Ji Yu hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss Xueqing, please excuse me." β
Xu Jinyu turned sideways. Only half of the salute was received.
Xue Qing saw it in her eyes. I had a good impression of this Miss Xu Jiabiao, and said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess sent a slave maid to ask a question, I don't know if the handkerchief can be embroidered?" β
Xu Jinyu smiled slightly: "It was embroidered two days ago." I will order someone to fetch it and ask Miss Xueqing to bring it to Her Royal Highness the Princess. β
Xue Qing replied unexpectedly, "Miss Xu has misunderstood." Her Royal Highness the princess only asked the slave maid to ask, and did not let the slave maid bring the veil back to the palace. β
Xu Jinyu was stunned.
Xue Qing didn't sell it, and quickly explained her intentions: "Her Royal Highness the princess plans to come to the Hou Mansion tomorrow in person for a day, and it will not be too late for Miss Xu to personally give the veil to Her Royal Highness the princess." β
What the?
Xu Jinyu almost thought she had misheard. For the sake of a mere veil, Princesses Anning wanted to come to the Weining Marquis Mansion in person?!
Don't talk about Xu Jinyu. Even Xiao Zou and the others were stunned for a moment, and they couldn't react for a while.
Xue Qing has been in the palace for many years. The faΓ§ade is excellent, no matter what he is thinking in his heart, his face is not shown at all, and he continues with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess is afraid of being presumptuous, so she specially sent a slave maid to the Hou Mansion first to say a word to the lady and the young ladies. β
Xiao Zou finally reacted at this time, and hurriedly put on a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess is willing to come, it is an honor for our Hou Mansion, why bother with it." β
Xue Qing replied with a smile: "After the slave and maid return to the palace, she must convey her lady's intentions to Her Royal Highness the princess." β
Xueqing came to achieve her intention, did not stay for long, and soon left and returned to the palace
"Mother, is Princess An Ning really going to come to our Hou Mansion tomorrow?" As soon as Xue Qing left, Ji Yu couldn't wait to ask.
Princess An Ning has a noble status and rarely leaves the palace on weekdays. Although they are cousins with several young ladies of the Ji family, they don't see each other much. made such a special trip to the Hou Mansion as a guest, but it was the first time that he was serious. No wonder Ji Yu is so excited.
Even Xiao Zou was smiling: "Her Royal Highness the princess specially asked Xue Qing to talk about it, naturally it won't be fake." He looked at Xu Jinyu again, and his tone was unprecedentedly soft: "Jinniang, you have already embroidered the silk handkerchief that Her Royal Highness the princess wanted!" β
Xu Jinyu smiled and hummed. I secretly speculated in my heart about the intention of Princess Anning's move.
However, after thinking about it, I couldn't understand it.
Xiao Zou pondered for a moment and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess has come to be a guest, and this matter should not be publicized. I will have some delicate pastries in the kitchen and some fresh fruits and melons to buy. The Agarwood Pavilion is the most quiet and elegant, and the three of you will accompany Princess Anning to stay in the Agarwood Pavilion for a day. β
Ji Yu and Xu Jinyu have no objections.
Ji Yu was not happy: "Why do you want to go to Agarwood Pavilion?" Can't I go to my Qingzhi Garden? β
Xiao Zou glared: "Sister Yu is a few years older than you, she speaks calmly and carefully, and nothing will go wrong." If you go to Qingzhi Garden, can you guarantee that you will not be able to greet Princess Anning without a little difference? β
Ji Yu was choked speechless.
Xiao Zou ignored Ji Yu and said to Ji Yu kindly: "Sister Yu, I will work hard for you tomorrow." β
Ji Yu smiled faintly: "Mother is strict." Princess An Ning is both a distinguished guest and my cousin. She came as a guest, and it was only natural that I should come forward to greet her. β
Zou also took Xu Jinyu's hand, and Yin Yin advised: "Jinniang, the princess will be a guest tomorrow, you have to cheer up." "It's a rare opportunity. took the opportunity to make friends with Princess An Ning, but it was a good thing.
Xu Jinyu responded softly: "Mother, don't worry, I know what to do." β
Tomorrow, she will definitely open her eyes and find out the reason why Princess An Ning came to the Hou Mansion in person.
Zou didn't hear Xu Jinyu's words at all, and secretly calculated while chattering about the things to pay attention to.
Princess An Ning and King Qin are siblings, if Xu Jinyu is friendly with Princess An Ning and begs Princess An Ning to intercede in King Qin, maybe Xu Zheng will be able to enter King Qin's eyes. If he can take refuge in King Qin, Xu Zheng's future career will also go higher and farther
Knowing the mother is more than a daughter.
Xu Jinyu only looked at Zou's shining eyes and guessed what Zou was thinking.
A qiΔ is all for Xu Zheng!
It's a pity that this time Zou is destined to be disappointed. Not only will she not do what Zou wants, but she will also keep Xu Zheng away from the Qin Wang brothers and sisters
The news that Princess An Ning was about to come to the Hou Mansion as a guest soon spread throughout the mansion.
When Xu Zheng learned about this, he was also a little surprised. Princess Anning's round face and big flexible eyes quickly flashed in her mind: "Why did this Princess Anning suddenly come to the Hou Mansion as a guest?" I guess I came to pick up the silk handkerchief you embroidered! β
Xu Jinyu didn't have to pretend in front of Xu Zheng, she frowned and said, "Princess Tangtang, I haven't seen anything precious and rare." Although the double-sided embroidered veil is delicate and special, it is not enough to come to the door to pick it up in person. It's just a faΓ§ade. But after thinking about it, I can't think of why she came to the Hou Mansion specially. β
Xu Zheng thought so, thought for a while and said, "You should be more careful tomorrow." Before figuring out Princess Anning's intentions, she had to be extra cautious when she spoke. If you don't hear Princess An Ning's voice right, or if she makes any excessive requests, you don't have to pay attention to them. Princess, we really can't afford to provoke, we can always afford to hide. β
It is diametrically opposed to Zou's advice.
Xu Jinyu's heart was warm, and she nodded with a smile: "Big brother, you can rest assured, I will be careful in everything." β
Where can Xu Zheng rest assured, secretly thinking to himself, he will stay by Xu Jinyu's side tomorrow with this thick face
The next day, Princess An Ning came to the Marquis of Weining's mansion.
The Weining Hou Mansion opened the main gate, and Xiao Zou led everyone to greet them at the main gate.
Princess An Ning did not put on the honor guard of the princess's travel, and came in the carriage in the palace, and the palace maids waiting around her were more than half of them. only brought eight palace maids and four grandmothers
Princess An Ning is obviously dressed up today, wearing a pink palace dress, she is extraordinarily fair, and a thin layer of makeup is put on her face, covering a little greenness, her long hair is pulled up, and only two strands of hair are left hanging down to her chest, showing the beauty of the girl.
"The concubine has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." Xiao Zou saluted respectfully.
Xu Jinyu and others also saluted with Xiao Zou.
"You don't have to be polite." Princess An Ning's voice was sweet and pleasant: "I came here today as a guest, you don't have to be too restrained." Otherwise, I'll get in the carriage and go back to the palace now. β
Easy-going, playful and cute, it makes people feel good in an instant.
Xiao Zou smiled: "Okay, listen to Her Royal Highness the princess." If there is any presumptuous rudeness, please forgive Her Royal Highness the Princess. β
After a few simple greetings, everyone welcomed Princess An Ning into the mansion like a moon.
Princess An Ning's eyes were wonderful, and her gaze quickly swept over Xu Zheng beside Xu Jinyu. It was only for a moment, and he quickly looked away again. A faint flush flew up on her white and tender cheeks
