Chapter Seventy-Six: The Uninvited Guest

Qin Yunuan straightened her neck, and clearly read some challenges and the harshness of interrogating prisoners from Xie Ruying's eyes, in her impression, she and this "fox girl" who had never met seemed to have nothing to do with her, but since they came, she had no reason to hide.

But Xie Ruying was only halfway through, just walked to the center of the banquet, her body was suddenly frozen, as if she was suddenly frozen, she didn't even have the strength to take a step, she froze in place, Qin Yunuan looked at Xie Ruying's eyes, and happened to see Leng Changxi, who was dressed up to attend the banquet and was about to enter the banquet, was staring at Xie Ruying's direction with a terrifying coldness, this kind of look was enough to kill people eight hundred times, but Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi had never seen each other when they got along, so they were inevitably surprised.

And a lady sitting next to Qin Yunuan was not surprised, and pulled the hair next to her and said: "Look, it's the third young master Leng who came out, look at the unkind look, I really don't know which girl will be unlucky to marry him in the future." ”

When Xie Ruying saw it, it was almost like a conditional launch, and immediately turned around and returned to his seat.

As soon as he sat down, the feast officially began.

The case table carved with the golden lotus flower is arranged in two columns, and at the end of the banquet is a more magnificent table with a more magnificent decoration, and the four corners are also embedded with jasper, which is prepared for the old princess who returned from the Guoan Temple, and the next is King Ning and Princess Ning, and the rest are arranged separately according to the generation, the elder and the young are orderly, and the respect and humility are secondary.

"The third brother is really late." As soon as Leng Changxi sat down, Leng Chang'an on the side bowed his body, and glanced at today's protagonist, Princess Ning, and said, "But let the mother wait." ”

Leng Chang'an was born very much like today's King Ning, with dark and three-dimensional eyebrows, deep and well-defined eyes, and an angular face that shows an indescribable style and bones, speaking loudly, with a straight backbone, a dark blue coat, and dark cloud sleeves, compared with Leng Changxi's cold and cold, he looks so gentle and elegant, and approachable.

But although he is the eldest son, he is a concubine, his mother is King Ning's first wife, and in the final analysis, he is still a concubine, and Princess Ning only loves Leng Changxi, a precious son.

Leng Changxi just glanced at Leng Chang'an lightly, and his tone was also light: "I dealt with the first few restless people in the courtyard, which made my mother worried." ”

Today's Princess Ning is dressed very carefully, with a hairpin and sideburns, a hairpin that is as red as a pigeon's blood, and a tassel on it, looking back at the jingle between her eyes, obviously she is already in her forties, but she still looks white and clean, delicate and beautiful, if it weren't for the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes that appear from time to time when she smiles, she is still a young woman.

"The third brother won't drive away the two maids who were sent yesterday," Leng Chang'an's wife Ruan Ruyi, and the eldest young grandmother of Ning Wang's Mansion said in pieces, "Hey, that's also a kindness between me and your eldest brother, now that you are over twenty, you can't stay in the barracks for the rest of your life, and you must always have a caring person by your side to serve." ”

Leng Changxi tilted his head and said: "If you persuade the waiter, I have Xue Si and Leng Wu by my side, not a bad person, if I say it is a wife," Leng Changxi involuntarily looked in the direction of Qin Yunuan, today she was wearing a water-green flower-sprinkled smoke skirt, with a shirt lit with small flowers on it, and slightly applied some fat powder, the whole person looked ruddy and delicate, just like the freshly picked strawberries, which made people just want to bite and lick hard, "If it is a wife," Leng Changxi repeated, "I already have a suitable candidate in my heart." ”

This news undoubtedly surprised the people present, the third young master Leng who has never been a woman already has someone in his heart?

The first to react was Princess Ning, she smiled slightly, her heart was full of joy, she couldn't wait to be a mother-in-law and hug her grandson: "Really? Which girl is it? Just choose a day to propose, don't be preempted by others. ”

King Ning couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said angrily to Princess Ning: "You are in a hurry first, I don't know which girl it is, what is the background of the family, how is the family recuperation, but you immediately thought about proposing." Although the words are blame, but the tone is full of doting, King Ning and Princess Ning have a deep affection, and the relationship is deep, this is an open fact, and how King Ning treats Princess Ning is also obvious to everyone.

In the end, the old princess came out to round the scene, laughing and laughing at herself: "Yes, now that the grandson has someone to do in his heart, the son only spoils his daughter-in-law, and no one cares about me, an old man, alas, I really shouldn't come back." ”

The eldest young grandmother, Ruan Ruyi, immediately said coquettishly: "Grandmother's words are not right, the second brother's room is still empty, and the grandmother directly says the word 'grandson' as soon as the third brother mentions the third brother, is it the grandmother's grandson who is born like the third brother, and the concubine like the second brother is not the grandmother's grandson?" ”

Although it was a joke, it also made everyone laugh, but the curves and curves here were counted very clearly, but fortunately, the old princess didn't mind, and only smiled and pointed at the delicate Ruan Ruyi and said, "You just love to play tricks with me." ”

The family members of King Ning's Mansion were laughing and laughing, and the singing and dancing in the center of the banquet had also entered a climax, but Leng Changxi always responded to Leng Chang'an and the old princess's questions without being salty, and only nodded out of courtesy, and when he faced Princess Ning, he would show a rare smile.

The mouthy lady beside Qin Yunuan began to talk again: "You see, that Third Young Master Leng looks so out of place among the other young masters, he doesn't laugh or speak, is it possible, it really seems to be as rumored outside, in fact, this Third Young Master Leng is an illegitimate child?" ”

Another lady also chimed in: "Who knows, a handyman in my family used to work as a temporary worker in King Ning's Mansion, he said, twenty years ago, I didn't see Princess Ning pregnant, but there is one more young master, you are not surprised." ”

"That's for sure, I'll just say...... Ah. The lady who was close to Qin Yunuan suddenly drank loudly, and the surrounding guests couldn't help but look over here, I don't know when the wine jug on this table was poured, it contained the best grape wine, which was characterized by a mellow smell, and it was extremely easy to color and not easy to wash off.

This talkative Miss Gu family is not to mention how embarrassed she is at the moment, she jumped to her feet, and hurriedly wiped a large pool of stains on the hem of her skirt with a handkerchief, looking at Qin Yunuan who was sitting next to her, she suddenly came back to her senses, glared at her, and was about to blame, but who expected Qin Yunuan to take the lead and said: "Oops, it turned out that the wine was spilled, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

"You are obviously so," the Gu family is also a famous family in the capital, so this Gu family girl still has a little confidence when she speaks, "Otherwise, the wine jug is placed on the table in a good manner, how can it be spilled?" Only you are the closest, who believes that you did not mean it? ”

Qin Yunuan raised her head slightly and smiled contemptuously: "Miss Gu has no evidence, who would believe that I did it on purpose?" I have no grievances with Miss Gu, what good is it for me to splash Miss Gu? Besides, Miss Gu's wine jug was not put away and spilled, and her first reaction was not to tidy up her dress, but to let the wine smell on the skirt emanate, and the skirt was stained, isn't it more suspicious? Miss Gu, can I still say that you deliberately got the wine bottle and deliberately blamed me? ”

Miss Gu was anxious, and said with red eyes: "You speculate wildly without evidence, and you are so uncultivated." ”

Qin Yunuan smiled, looking a little surprised: "Oh, it turns out that Miss Gu, you yourself also know this truth." ”

Miss Gu said angrily: "I'm talking about you, the lowly daughter of the Qin family. ”

Identity and status will always be a weakness that others can ruthlessly sarcastically mock Qin Yunuan, but Qin Yunuan smiled faintly and said: "Miss Gu, since you and I can sit side by side, you say that my status is low, aren't you also talking about yourself?" ”

In the battle of tongue with Qin Yunuan, Miss Gu had been completely defeated, and the ugly wine stain on her skirt was still volatilizing its fragrance to the fullest, and the strong and unpleasant smell of wine made the Gu girl's frustration double.

She glared at Qin Yunuan fiercely again, turned her head and left the banquet, the banquet suddenly quieted down again, and it was her turn to give congratulatory gifts to Princess Ning in turn, these dignitaries and dignitaries also took out their housekeeping skills, some sent slaves and maids bought from Beidi for Princess Ning to call, and some selected Qisong in the southwest for Princess Ning to watch, and even the old princess took out the most cherished set of dowry that year and transferred it to Princess Ning.

"This ...... This is too precious, and my daughter-in-law can't stand it. Princess Ning held a set of brilliant mutton fat jade jewelry and couldn't take her eyes off it, although more than ten years ago, although mutton fat jade had not been as hard to find as gold as today, but I thought that the old princess gave her this pair of jade hairpins made of mutton fat jade earrings, put it today, but it is a priceless treasure, how can she afford it.

King Ning was very easy-going: "Xun Xiang, since your mother gave it to you, you can accept it." ”

The old princess looked at Princess Ning and finally nodded and accepted it, and a big stone in her heart fell to the ground, and then said: "In fact, this pair of jewelry I also turned out when I occasionally sorted it out, which is also a gift from an old man, but the thing is not a person, the old man has passed away, only this thing was left for me to remember, but fortunately, when I was recuperating in Guoan Temple a few days ago, I actually met the daughter of the old man, and we talked very happily, and I became a New Year's friend. I thought that since I am back, there is no shortage of chopsticks in Ningwangfu, and it is good to have someone to accompany me to talk, I don't know what you mean? ”

Sending things is a disguise, it turns out that the latter paragraph is the main event, all the big snacks in the house are taken care of by Princess Ning, and now the old princess personally made a request, and also gave this expensive gift, Princess Ning naturally wants to respond.

"We are naturally happy to have someone to accompany your old man, but we don't know what the name of the old man's daughter is?"

The old princess stretched her brows, smiled lightly, and said, "The daughter of the Dou family in Hangzhou, the word Qing'e." ”
