Zhu Jing held a flowing gold embroidered celestial saro skirt and said to Nalan Bing: "Miss, how about wearing this new dress today?" ”

Nalan Bing shook his head, "Just find a plain Luo skirt, then Mrs. Jiang's birthday banquet must be a good banquet, and you don't have to bother to dress up." ”

Zhu Jing stuck out her tongue and hurriedly went to pick out clothes for Nalan Bing again.

So, Nalan Bing wore a light blue ordinary Luo skirt, pulled her hair in a bun at will, simply inserted two begonia hairpins, and walked to the Nanjun Mansion with the old lady, Nangong Xiu and Nalan Gang.

Today's Nanjun Wangfu is really lively, when Nalan Bing and the others came to the Nanjun Palace, the carriage had already lined up on another street, helpless, several people could only get up and down from the carriage and walk slowly to the palace.

It is no wonder that today's birthday banquet is so grand and lively, not only the queen mother sent the imperial chef yesterday, and specially ordered all the ladies of the rank to attend today's banquet, even the emperor has personally splashed ink, wrote a royal smile plaque to the Duchess to celebrate, so the Manchu Dynasty civil and military who have always known how to follow the wind and rudder, after the shock, they prepared enough congratulatory gifts, and the gifts have been placed under the hall, with "piled up" to describe, it is not an exaggeration. The Nangong family even set up fifty tables for a banquet.

As soon as Nalan Bing and Nangong Xiu helped the old lady to the gate, they were warmly welcomed into the mansion by Mama Wei, who was next to the princess of Nanjun, and the princess of Nanjun herself greeted the guests at the second gate, and when she saw Nalan Bing and others, she immediately smiled.

"The old lady is here herself, please come in!" Princess Nanjun is also very enthusiastic, it seems that Nangong Xiao's death did not make her have any dissatisfaction or complaints about Nalan Bing and the Nalan family.

"The 60th birthday is a big event, and the old body naturally has to come to congratulate him in person!" The old lady smiled a little reluctantly, she really didn't want to come, but Nangong and Nalan are in-laws after all, and it doesn't matter what they do in private, in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, there are still some things to do to save Nalan Gang's face. Besides, she is also a fateful woman, and the Queen Mother has already made a decree, how can she not come.

Princess Nanjun welcomed the old lady and the others into the hall. After the few people sat down, the servants and maids in the house were busy serving them hot tea, pastries and dried fruits.

Nalan Bing had just picked up the teacup when he heard a pleasant voice sound, "Bing'er, long time no see." ”

Nalan Bing raised his head and smiled, "Sister Yunman, long time no see!" ”

Then he got up and walked towards Yun Man.

Yun Man eagerly took her hand and said coquettishly: "You, since you finished treating my mother's concubine, you rarely go to the Beijun Palace, and you really don't treat me as a good sister." ”

Nalan Bing laughed and said: "How come, it's just that there have been a lot of things in the family recently, and it's really useless!" ”

Nalan Mansion was attacked, a daughter died, Nalan Chen was cut off and other things have already spread all over Tianjing City, Yun Man has already heard about it, so he secretly mentioned Nalan Bing's sadness, and hurriedly comforted: "Hey, it's all my fault, it caused your sadness, those things, the past is over, the dead are gone, and the living are like this." ”

Hearing Yun Man's comfort, Nalan Bing's heart warmed. In fact, she has always been a person who is easy to satisfy, and she will remember any kindness that others have to her. If it weren't for the deep hatred in her previous life, she wouldn't have become as poisonous and ruthless as she is today, or that sentence, if she comes out to mix, she will have to pay it back sooner or later.

Do the math, Yun Man is almost her only friend here, at that time she had to treat the princess of Beijun every seven days, and after a long time, she became acquainted with Yun Man, and she also got to know her, although she was the county lord, she didn't have any shelves on weekdays, she was very quiet and simple, Nalan Bing felt very good about her, and over time she became friends.

Nalan Bing shook her head, signaling that she was okay, and then quipped: "I heard that Yun Man is going to get married, it seems that he is a complementary son, have you ever seen it?" ”

Sure enough, after listening to Nalan Bing's words, Yun Man's face turned red all of a sudden, and she said shyly: "You girl, sometimes you are really hateful." ”

"Huh? When the man gets married, the woman gets married, why do they still blush? ”

"Bing'er, you, you're really ......"

At this moment, a girl came over and saluted: "County lord, Madame is looking for you everywhere, please go over and meet the old princess." ”

Yun Man knew that the Nangong family and the Nalan family were in-laws, and they were going to meet according to the ceremony, so it was inconvenient to pull her again, and said with a smile: "After seeing each other for a while, you will definitely come to look for me, I have a lot of things to say to you." ”

Nalan Bing smiled and nodded, and before she could speak, she saw a beautiful woman coming, with a smile on her face, and she still said gently: "Xiao Wu, why did you come here?" It's easy to find me. ”

The person who came was only lifted a few days ago, Nalan Bing's successor mother-in-law, Nangong Xiu. She likes plain clothes on weekdays, but today she is unusual, wearing a rose-red Luo skirt, embroidered with peonies on the placket, and her skirt is rippling when she walks, bright as clouds, bright and bright, and she looks beaming.

She smiled and bowed slightly, and saluted Yun Man, "I've seen the county lord!" ”

Yun Man hurriedly returned the salute, "Mrs. Nalan." ”

Nangong Xiu smiled and said, "Lord Yunman, I'm here to find Xiao Wu to visit her grandmother together, will you go with you?" ”

Yun Man knew that Nangong Xiu was just a kind word, this was a visit from their own family, and it was not suitable for her to go as an outsider, so she smiled and declined, just watching Nalan Bing and Nangong Xiu leave together.

Nangong Xiu took Nalan Bing around the garden, dressed in the corridor, and came to a small building made of bamboo with beaded curtains on all sides. As soon as Nalan Bing walked to the door, he heard bursts of laughter from inside.

Nangong Xiu explained gently: "This small building is a place for the eldest aunt to meet relatives and friends. ”

Nalan Bing nodded and smiled, "Is Old Lady Jiang inside?" ”

Nangong Xiu smiled: "Yes, old lady, your third sister is all inside." ”

The maid beside Nangong Xiu lifted the bead curtain, and Nangong Xiu and Nalan Bing slowly entered the house. The room was really hot, and a group of people surrounded Mrs. Jiang, who was sitting on the main seat.

Today she deliberately dressed up, which was different from the simplicity when she went to the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong. She is wearing a gold-trimmed robe, embroidered with a hundred birds of longevity, one end of the bun is still meticulously tied behind the head, pulled into a high bun, the bun is inserted with the queen mother's peony gold step, with a rare colorful pearl Yingluo, a graceful and luxurious look.

There was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man standing next to her, and when he saw Nalan Bing coming, he smiled faintly, and then sat lazily beside Mrs. Jiang. The young man was extremely tall and peachy, and he was wearing a sky-blue robe, and his grace and nobility were displayed when he raised his hand and moved his foot, which was very different.
