Volume 1: The Palace's Storm Chapter 56: Tranquility and Glory (3)
It seems that this little seventh girl is not as simple as she imagined, Ning Ning Rong hooked her lips and smiled, when she blasted her out today, she thought a little less, she should interrogate and ridicule her more before letting go, after all, such a powerful character, she should ask for scriptures on her.
She flicked her long sleeves and walked to the door: "Xiaoman, I am very curious about your county lord, which princess is here to send us an invitation again, the face of the Ningguo Mansion is so big, even if you want to attend a banquet, their master will come to send us an invitation in person." ”
She raised her chin proudly, and walked step by step very steadily.
Jing Jing Rong and Xiao Man arrived at the door, but found that there was no one at the door at the moment, Xiao Man had doubts on his face, stretched out his head and looked around: "Hey, wasn't there a maid standing here just now?" How come there will be no one after a while. ”
Ning Jingrong also took a few steps forward, she squinted her eyes and looked around, found no one, and said with a sneer: "It seems that the princess who came to me is not necessarily a princess, so she has no courage and responsibility, she only dares to say a cruel word here, heh, it is also interesting, what do you think?" ”
Xiao Man instantly heard what Ning Jingrong meant, and she nodded hurriedly: "What the county lord said is right, if it is really a princess who comes to us, the shelf must be very sufficient, how can it be like now and leave without saying anything?" That's it, county lord, let's go back and rest first, this weather is so hot, if you accidentally bask in the sun, it will be Xiaoman's sin. ”
After she said these words loudly in her throat, she planned to help Ning Jingrong go back, but the master and servant had not taken a few steps before a woman's indifferent voice came from behind her.
"I haven't seen the little county lord for a long time, but the county lord's temper is getting bigger and bigger."
Xu Qinghan stepped forward slowly with her stomach straight, she glanced at Xiaoman: "The maid of the palace came to talk to you just now, your attitude is very tough, and you can't look down on the maid of the palace inside and outside the words, why, when is the personal maid next to the princess still not as good as the girl serving by your little county lord?" ”
After Xu Qinghan finished speaking, she stopped, and Ning Jingrong also turned her head, she had already heard Xu Qinghan's voice just now, but she was thinking about how to fool her.
She smiled and said, "I don't know if Princess Anyang is visiting, it's just that the little seventh girl who came just now didn't say that today is a banquet in the Regent's Mansion, why did Princess Anyang come to find Jingrong?" ”
"It's not that I heard that the county lord's temper has been getting bigger and bigger recently, and everyone looks down on him, so I came to take a look, but I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it, that little seventh girl is a celebrity next to the regent and the princess regent, and she helps the regent deal with some big things on weekdays, and now that you treat her like this, aren't you afraid that the princess regent will be angry?"
"Why are you afraid that the princess regent will be angry?" Ning Jingrong took a few steps forward and walked to Xu Qinghan's side, looked at her high belly, covered her mouth and smiled, "That regent princess is not the previous first-class regent princess, she is alone now, Da Yue Guo has long since died, there is no force behind her that can protect her, even if I offend her, what can she do with me?" ”
Ning Jingrong raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly: "It's not easy to see Princess Anyang, Princess Anyang don't tell me these meaningless and meaningless people, it's better to come in and sit down, grandpa may not have seen Princess Anyang for a long time." ”
"The palace doesn't dare to go in and sit, the county lord has no respect for the princess regent, if it was in the past, it would be fine, but now it sounds like there is some taste of chaotic ministers and thieves in it, Anyang Wangfu is a clean mansion, but you can't fix what these chaotic ministers and thieves say."
Xu Qinghan shook the silk handkerchief in his hand, and suddenly smiled: "This palace is curious, what the county lord said today can represent the Ningguo Mansion, after all, the disaster comes from the mouth, and the palace must also think about it carefully, is this disaster on the county lord or the entire Guogong Mansion?" ”
Ning Jingrong is not a fool, she immediately looked around after hearing Xu Qinghan say this, and sure enough, she found several figures under the corridor on the side.
She snorted coldly in her heart, if those people were just ordinary maids and slaves, there was no need to stand under the porch to escape the heat, not to mention that this master was still standing here, how could the slaves and maids have a reason to rest?
She heard that the people who came up this time were all of high status, the regent princess, the general Shangguan and the wife of Shangguan, the king of Anyang, the princess of Anyang and the children of those families with good status.
Thinking about it so carefully, the people standing behind the corridor should be the princess regent and Mrs. Shangguan, after all, the identities of the two of them are similar to the princess of Anyang in front of them.
In this way, what she just said was only afraid that it would upset the princess regent, but there was nothing she could do if she had already said it, and Jing Jingrong never thought of remedy.
The corners of her lips still had a smile on her lips: "Of course, the words that come out of my mouth represent myself, I can't say everything about the whole family alone, this mouth is long, I'm afraid it's not enough." ”
"In this way, it's also interesting, but the invitation sent to you by the little seventh girl is still valid, tonight the regent is feasting on this spiritual mountain, if the county lord is not willing to come, you can take the invitation to the person who can be in charge of your family, after all, not everyone is like the county lord who does things according to their own preferences."
After Xu Qinghan finished speaking, she was going to turn around and leave, but before she could take two steps, Jing Jingrong suddenly stepped forward to block in front of her, and she said: "Princess Anyang said this, but she is telling Jing Rong, you like that girl named Xiao Qi very much?" ”
"Why don't you like it?" Xu Qinghan was not intimidated by her sudden action, she said, "As long as it is a person, I like people who are capable and can talk." ”
"That being said, if it is too clever to say it, I am afraid that it will not please people's hearts, this invitation from the Regent Mansion Jingrong wants to accept it very much, and I also want to go very much, but I am not very cheerful recently, and my grandfather is also sick, I am afraid that there is no one to go to the Ningguo Mansion."
"No one can go, no one can go, this word has been delivered, how to do it is the matter of your Ningguo Mansion, this palace is also looking at the relationship between Anyang Wangfu and your Ningguo Mansion and you Ningguo Mansion to mention you one or two, if you don't listen to the palace, there is no way, the palace can't tie you to the banquet, right?"
Xu Qinghan's mood was no longer very cheerful, and her tone of voice was not as good as just now.
Although Jing Rong is arrogant and domineering, she is also a smart person, she is best at observing words and feelings, and after hearing the impatience in Xu Qinghan's words, she immediately took two steps back: "Of course Jing Rong doesn't need Princess Anyang to work so hard, Jing Rong will find a way to solve the banquet herself, it's not early, Princess Anyang still don't bask in the sun here, you are now inconvenient, what you should do is to lie down in the room, come out all day long, if something goes wrong, no one can afford this responsibility." ”
There was a hint of deep meaning in her eyes when she spoke, Xu Qinghan was very uncomfortable with her eyes, so she didn't want to stay here with her any longer, and after saying a few words casually, she let Yun Xiang help her out.
Ning Jingrong saw that she was completely out of sight before turning her head to look at Xiao Man: "It seems that this Princess Anyang is not a good lord to get along with, but I haven't seen her for a long time, her temper is good, and I think that the side concubine of their family has no way to suppress her." ”
Jing Jingrong straightened her sleeve and sneered: "It's just a woman who is precious to her mother and son, and she dares to come here to teach me, but I really don't know how thick the sky is." ”
Xiao Man saw that Ning Jingrong was unhappy and said: "In this case, there is no need for us to go to the banquet that night, the people at the banquet are not the county lord, you like, in addition to those princesses and wives, there are also straw buns of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites, that fool has always liked the county lord, you have avoided him for a long time and have not met, if you meet today because of this banquet, wouldn't it be a waste of your previous efforts." ”
"It's nothing." Tranquility shook his hand absently, "I heard that he has now married a daughter-in-law, he is a member of the military, and his temper is not good, if he dares to find me in public, I don't have to do it myself, his bad-tempered lady will personally find him trouble." ”
After Ning Jingrong asked Xiaoman to close the door, he sat on a chair on the side to rest: "But that straw bale is also lucky, although it is a family marriage, his daughter-in-law status is also noble, and his future will be much more open after he joins the office in a few years." ”
"Then his luck is really good, but then the straw bag can be regarded as wronged by his wife." Xiao Man, who has never looked down on the Ministry of Rites, has been complaining about his wife now.
But Ning Jingrong didn't think like her: "The marriage of these two families is a mutually beneficial thing, it can't be said that who is wronged or who takes advantage, although that straw bag is stupid, but it is not a playboy child, the two of them can be regarded as complementing each other, forget it, don't talk about these bad things, you can take out my pink dress later, and wear that dress to the banquet tonight." ”
Xiao Man was surprised when he heard this: "Didn't the county lord just say that he wouldn't go to this banquet?" Why do you have to change your clothes again? ”
After making money, the transformation is a little fast, and Xiaoman has not yet reacted.
Her stupid appearance made Ning Jingrong feel a little better, and she stretched out her hand and touched her head: "Your county lord said that I didn't go to the banquet to naturally talk about fun, after all, the regent and the regent princess will have a big change in their identities in the future, even if I want to offend them, there is no need to choose this moment." ”
"But how to participate in the banquet, you have to think carefully." She smiled playfully.
