"Gege, you don't know, these days, the Double Happiness Opera Troupe is famous in the whole of Beijing, I heard that the Queen Mother wants Boss Qin to sing in the palace. Now this Liyuan theater ticket is a thousand dollars. ”

Ning Yi was amused by her words, "A vote of money, where did you come from, you let me go to the play to relax, is it for my selfishness to meet Boss Qin?" She was not surprised that Qin Yunhuai had such a reputation now, she thought of the tall figure in the garden that afternoon, such a beautiful and moon-like figure, it should be a person living on the stage.

Qiu Lu said aggrievedly: "Gege, the slave really feels sorry for you." ”

Ning Yi just teased her, "Okay, okay, you let Chunya go and talk to Fujin, and you and I go to change clothes and go out." ”

Qiu Lu immediately changed into a smile and responded crisply.

When Ning Yi changed into her regular clothes and was about to go out, Chunya happened to come in through the door, and Yun Liu came in with her.

"Peace!" As soon as Yun Liu came in, he shouted Ning Yi.

"I've seen six grids." Qiu Lu was on the side, and she said goodbye.

Yun Liu waved his hand casually, "No courtesy." ”

"Why do you have time to see me today?" Ning Yi welcomed her to her room, let Qiu Lu go down, and go to the courtyard of Fujin to say something.

"Oh, no. I just came out of the courtyard of Fujin. Yun Liu stopped Qiu Lu.

She took a sip of water and saw Ning Yi's dress, "Are you going out?" ”

Ning Yi, "I originally wanted to go to the play, but I didn't expect you to come, if it was one step later, I was afraid that you would have to find a vacancy." ”

"Didn't I get it just right?" Yunliu said proudly.

"yes, yes, we've got a six-grid upgrade." Ning Yi dragged out his voice.

"By the way, I heard that the fourth brother said that you went back to the palace?"

"Oh, don't mention it."

Speaking of this, she was full of anger, "As soon as you left that day, I met the person surnamed Xu, who said that it was the order of the Empress Dowager to welcome me back to the palace, there was no way, I could only follow back." ”

"Xu Changxu?"

"Who else but him?"

Although Xu Changxu was not born in a family, his grandfather Xu Wenda served as the envoy of the two Huai salt transporters, the Fujian envoy according to the inspection, and the governor of Caoyun during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Although Xu Changxu said that he was shaded by his grandfather, he himself was also promising, and he had already entered the imperial front at a young age, and was deeply favored by the emperor. Nowadays, many noblewomen in the Forbidden City regard it as the best candidate for a husband. It's that Ning Yi doesn't go out for a long time, but he has also heard of his name.

"How did the Queen Mother know that you were back?"

Ning Yi didn't say that it was okay, but Yun Liu was even more angry when she said it, "Yes, I thought I was showing my stuffing somewhere, but I only found out when I went back to the palace to see the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother didn't know about my return at all, it was the surname Xu who saw me at the door of the hotel and deliberately tricked me into returning to the palace." Why do you think he's so hateful, can't he be treated as if he didn't see me? ”

Ning Yi heard something else, and she asked, "Lord Xu recognized you at a glance?" ”

Yun Liu went abroad for four years, although it is not a long time, but the years when Yun Liu went abroad happened to be the time when women changed the most, and in addition to the influence of the foreign atmosphere, the appearance and temperament are very different from the past, even she didn't recognize it at a time, Xu Changxu can actually recognize her at a glance?

"The ghost knows how he recognized me, alas, don't mention him, it's annoying to think of him, and I've been staying in the Forbidden City for more than half a month, just looking at those concubines with open knives and hidden guns, I don't even want to go to the Imperial Garden, and I have a headache when I see a woman."

Ning Yiqi said: "Then how did you get out today?" ”

"I promised the Queen Mother that she would hold a banquet in seven days, and she asked me to come out to prepare."

"Banquet? What banquet? "What kind of banquet actually let Yun Liu, who has just returned to China, prepare to start?

"Entertain foreign women." Yunliu opened his mouth sullenly.

Ning Yi saw that she looked loveless, and laughed: "No way, your status is noble and you have stayed in the West, this matter is very suitable for you, now that the foreigners are powerful in my Qing Dynasty, we can only please them, so naturally we have to follow their habits and hobbies." ”

Yun Liu lowered his eyes, and the smile disappeared on his face, and he said sarcastically: "Others follow the customs, but we have to accommodate them." ”

Ning Yi noticed that this topic was too heavy, and changed the topic: "Have you returned to the palace today?" ”

Yun Liu also noticed that this topic was out of place, and shook his head, "No, the grace I finally asked for, I have been staying in the Beijing Hotel for the past few days, and the banquet will be held in the Beijing Hotel in the future, I am here to send you an invitation, and your fourth sister-in-law." ”

When talking about the Guerjia clan, she also pouted, she and the Guerjia clan Youlan grew up under the queen mother's knees since childhood, and she has always been unaccustomed to the Guerjia clan's old-fashioned and lonely height. If it weren't for the fact that she was Zaifeng's Fujin and had a high status among these women, she really didn't want to have anything to do with her. Just now she was in the main courtyard, and she also used her identity as her elder sister-in-law to say that she should find a husband when she is old, what woman should find a person to rely on for a lifetime, and what kind of childbearing is her duty.

Hearing this, Yun Liu's head was big, and he only said one sentence: "I am now the eldest princess of the Qing Dynasty, who else can match me." "Choked people back.

Ning Yi knew her temper and said with a smile: "Since you are not in a hurry to return to the palace, it is better to rest in the palace today, and we can catch up with the old days." ”

"Yes, yes." Yun Liu hung excitedly on Ning Yi's body, "I haven't seen you for so many years, I have a lot to say to you." ”

Liyuan.

"Master, Miss Qiulu sent a message that Gege can't come to the theater today." The shopkeeper was in the background, bending down and whispering.

Qin Yunhuai paused at this dressing mirror, the hand that was painting oil paint on his face, and said lightly: "Got it." "But a feeling of loss rose in my heart, and I reacted in an instant, and suppressed this inexplicable emotion." You go and see the others, and if they are ready, start the gong. ”

"Yes." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he still stayed in the room, and he hesitated: "Master, the elegant seat on the second floor... "Before, he ordered the seat to be left empty, but now that Gege is gone, then this seat. . . You know, a vote is not a joke.

Qin Yunhuai looked back at the shopkeeper, without any extra thoughts, and only said, "It's empty." Then he added, "It's all empty in the future." ”

The shopkeeper looked up at his back, and quickly lowered his head, "Yes." ”

Nowadays, the troupe is indeed not bad for this elegant seat.

The next day, Ning Yi got up late again, and last night the two sisters slept together and chatted until midnight, but early in the morning, both of them got up late.

Yun Liu took Ning Yi to the street after lunch, saying that she wanted to buy her a dress, and both men and women would wear dresses to attend the banquet.
