42. 42: Qin Jinxiao
The reception hall of Ningfu is still very spacious and bright, at this time, Ning Yutong and Qin Jinlin walked into the hall side by side, as soon as they entered the door, Ning Yutong saw his mother sitting there with a smile, holding a teacup, while chatting with the guests next to him, it seems, chatting well.
"Mother!"
Ning Yutong automatically ignored Qin Jinlin on the side, and walked to Mrs. Ning's side with a smile, and at this time, she finally saw the distinguished guest who had been chatting with her mother with a sideways face.
This young man dressed in light golden brocade and arrogant is none other than the Third Highness - His Royal Highness King Ling Qin Jinxiao.
There are a total of three princes under His Majesty today, Qin Jinting, the king of His Royal Highness; Qin Jinlin, the second royal highness, the king of Yan; Third Highness, King Ling Qin Jinxiao. The age difference between the three princes is not much, but their personalities are very different-
His Royal Highness is gentle and kind, while His Second Highness is notoriously cold and deep, and the youngest Third Highness is also favored by His Majesty, and his character is very arrogant......
"Yutong, don't you hurry up and meet His Royal Highness King Ling!"
Seeing Ning Yutong coming in, Mrs. Ning immediately smiled and whispered on the side, and Ning Yutong naturally bowed respectfully to Qin Jin.
Although she also knew Qin Jinxiao of the Third Highness in her previous life, and was even very familiar with this person, at this moment, Ning Yutong still had to pretend to be the first time they met, politeness, respect and detachment were essential.
"Yutong greets His Royal Highness King Ling."
Although Ning Yutong is not a gentle little jasper, her voice is very beautiful when she is soft, but when she heard Ning Yutong's voice, Qin Jinxiao didn't raise her head, and her two sword eyebrows involuntarily frowned slightly.
"Miss Ning is polite."
With Qin Jinxiao's detached and indifferent voice, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became depressed.
His every move was obviously a little unreasonable, which made Mrs. Ning, who had been smiling all the time, smile stiffen.
But Ning Yutong had expected it, didn't care at all, turned his head and smiled at his mother, and slowly stood behind Mrs. Ning.
Seeing Ning Yutong's smile, Mrs. Ning's expression eased: "The two princes come to Ning Mansion for the first time, if there is anything that is not well greeted, please bear with me!" It's not early today, if the two princes don't dislike eating in the house today, I will order the kitchen to go to the ......."
Before Mrs. Ning's words were finished, Qin Jinxiao, who was sitting on the side, suddenly raised her hand and interrupted her: "Mrs. Ning is really too polite, it's really unfortunate that this king made an appointment with a friend at noon today, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to taste the craftsmanship of the chef of Ning Mansion." ”
Qin Jinxiao's tone was very indifferent, and after speaking of the worst, he involuntarily raised his face and looked at Mrs. Ning apologetically.
Mrs. Ning had also heard of His Royal Highness King Ling's cold arrogance before, but she really didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Ling, who was still talking and laughing with herself just now, would change his face too quickly - it turned out that his visit this time was just to convey a message to everyone, that is, he was not interested in Ning Yutong, and even ...... Still very dissatisfied.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Ning not only did not get angry, but her expression became more gentle: "Since the prince has something to do, the courtiers naturally don't keep the prince more, I don't know how His Royal Highness King Yan ......."
Speaking of the most, Mrs. Ning looked at Qin Jinlin, who had been silent, with a smile on her face.
"This king is indeed fine today, it seems that he will inevitably disturb Madame."
Qin Jinlin slowly raised his eyes and replied tepidly.
And as soon as these words came out, Mrs. Ning's face changed slightly-this cold-faced king couldn't really be her Tong'er, right? This...... It's a bit of a hassle.
And Qin Jinxiao, who had been keeping a straight face on the side, was also slightly stunned when she heard Qin Jinlin's words, and her eyes swept over Qin Jinlin and Ning Yutong's bodies hiddenly-some time ago, someone rumored that the Second Highness and the eldest lady of the Ning Mansion were about it, could it really not be groundless?
Well, this is undoubtedly a great thing for myself.
Thinking of this, Qin Jinxiao's face couldn't help but flash a smile: "In this case, this king will go first, Second Emperor Brother, you and Miss Ning are the same age, and they are both famous archers in Kyoto, well, I don't have a chance to learn from you today, next time I have time, this king will invite you back!" ”
Saying that, Qin Jinxiao had already stood up and turned around to say goodbye, while Ning Yutong naturally followed his mother all the way to send King Ling to the gate......
Lunch in Ningfu has always been home-cooked side dishes, but today, with Qin Jinlin, a distinguished guest, the dishes on the table are naturally much more than in the past.
"Lord Wang, are these dishes not your appetite?"
During the banquet, Mrs. Ning noticed that Qin Jinlin had only eaten a few bites of food and was drinking most of the time, so she couldn't help but ask.
After all, Qin Jinlin's identity is there, if he doesn't greet him well, it will easily attract the dissatisfaction of this prince, and this will outweigh the losses.
"Nope."
Hearing Mrs. Ning's question, Qin Jinlin shook his head slowly, these dishes ...... Well, Qin Jinlin's eyes flashed with suspicion, if he wasn't very familiar with him, he would definitely not know that the dishes on this table were all taboo on his weekdays, and the chef of Ning Mansion actually made such a table so magically, it was really ...... It's so hard for these chefs.
Sensing the flash of look on Qin Jinlin's face, Ning Yutong sneered in his heart, and then raised his chopsticks to put a piece of fish in Qin Jinlin's rice bowl: "Lord Wang, why don't you taste this fish!" ”
"Ugh."
Qin Jinlin paused slightly, he hates eating fish the most, who doesn't know about the entire Yanwang Mansion?
"Yes, Lord Wang, you can taste it, this is made by Yutong himself!"
Mrs. Ning on the side didn't seem to see Qin Jinlin's expression, and said softly on the side: "This is her specialty, Lord Wang, can you taste it to your liking." ”
In the eyes of all parents, their children are the best in the world.
And as soon as Mrs. Ning mentioned Ning Yutong's cooking skills, her whole person immediately danced with her eyebrows-
Her daughter is really not talented as a female celebrity, but fortunately, she is still very talented in cooking.
"Oh? Miss Ning's craftsmanship? ”
Qin Jinlin was a little surprised, and his dark eyes were firmly fixed on Ning Yutong's face: "Since it is Miss Ning's intention, then the king must try it." ”
"Lord Wang, you're polite, if you like to eat, eat more."
Ning Yutong replied indifferently, she didn't think Qin Jinlin would really eat it, but while she was talking, Qin Jinlin actually picked up the piece of fish meat that Ning Yutong gave him and sent it to his mouth.
This time, Ning Yutong was really a little surprised-Qin Jinlin ate fish? This was really unexpected.
He didn't like, and even hated fish, and she knew that.
Did this man suddenly change sex?
This is also too strange, for a while, Ning Yutong's gaze at Qin Jinlin became a little weird-
Is this really the Qin Jinlin she knows?
"Not bad."
At this moment, Qin Jinlin sat on the seat and tasted the fish meat, and couldn't help but admire: "Miss Ning's craftsmanship is really good, next time I have a chance...... I hope I can still eat the food made by Miss Ning herself. ”
Ning Yutong stiffened his movements with chopsticks, but he still smiled at Qin Jinlin appropriately: "If you have the opportunity next time, the prince will definitely be able to taste it." ”
Saying that, she politely sandwiched some dishes for Qin Jinlin, of course, they all picked his least favorite dishes, but today's Qin Jinlin accepted all the orders very elegantly, and this meal was unexpectedly harmonious......
