It stands to reason that Ning Yi's size is also a character, and He Yi shouldn't have this attitude, but Ning Yi has been weak and sick since she was a child, rarely appears in front of people, and has a gentle temperament, so He Yi doesn't have much respect.

Ning Yi knew that this cousin was a well-known bastard, but she didn't care about his attitude, she didn't seem to see the bright red mark on the other young man's chin, she only looked at He Yi, and smiled softly: "Why didn't my cousin go to the front for a banquet?" The first queen mother also mentioned her cousin. ”

"The Queen Mother?" Because the Empress Dowager came suddenly, most people didn't receive the news, and He Yi naturally didn't know, he looked at the beauty in front of him in embarrassment, thinking that it would be a long time to come, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Ning Yi, and rushed to the front yard.

Ning Yi looked at the back of him leaving, turned his head, and looked at the other person who was still standing here.

When he saw his appearance clearly, a hint of surprise flashed in Ning Yi's eyes.

No wonder He Yi didn't care about the time and place, and dared to Meng Lang here, but this young man was too good-looking.

The boy is about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the boy at this age is the most indistinguishable between male and female, with affectionate eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and the red marks on the two fingers on his chin are more ambiguous and beautiful, or he had an argument with He Yi just now, and his eyes are still full of water.

Even Ning Yi was unconsciously amazed for a moment.

He folded his hands and bent down slightly, and thanked him, "Thank you Gege for helping." "Sincerely, but not at all flustered.

Ning Yi shook his head and said softly: "I just happened to meet and didn't do anything, you don't have to be so polite, let's go back quickly." "She has never seen such a good-looking son before, and she has fallen to that point just now, which shows that her status is not high.

Ning Yi saw that his face was flushed, and he thought to himself, he looked so good-looking, he should hide it well.

The young man came to the palace and heard the person who called her Gege just now, so he naturally knew Ning Yi's identity, and he also knew that she was a gesture just now, but it was a great favor for him, but he didn't break the matter just now, he was grateful, and finally just bowed deeply: "Yunhuai thank you Gege for your great grace." ”

Ning Yi nodded, seeing that although he was inferior, he did not lose the slightest trace of his bones, even if he bowed, he was straight, but he had a good impression.

"Gege?" Qiu Lu was puzzled.

Ning Yi saw the back of him leaving, shook his head but sighed: "Today's children of the Eight Banners are no longer the Manchu sons and daughters who fought the country on horseback. ”

Qiu Lu thought that it was Heyi's behavior just now that she didn't like it, so she only comforted: "The children of the Eight Banners also have young talents like our prince. ”

It's just a pity that since ancient times, it is easy to confuse water, and it is difficult to clear water.

When the two returned to the courtyard, Mama Zhang immediately greeted them, "Why did Gege come back?" I didn't get tired. ”

Mama Zhang is Ning Yi's grandmother since she was a child, Ning Yi has lost her parents since she was a child, her eldest brother is her father, and Mama Zhang is like her own daughter.

Qiu Lu replied on the side: "The queen mother and the emperor returned to the palace after watching the ceremony, and they were about to go to the theater now, Gege and Fujin sued the hypothesis that they were unwell and came back early." ”

"Not feeling well?" Mama Zhang frowned when she heard this, looked at Ning Yi worriedly, and saw her bloodless little face, "Gege... ”

Ning Yi saw that Mama was about to talk again, so she immediately interrupted her, pulled her arm and coquettishly, "Mama, don't listen to Qiu Lu, she has always made a fuss, Ning Yi didn't eat anything at the banquet, and now her stomach is empty, she is hungry, and she just wants to eat the noodles cooked by Mama." ”

Mama Zhang rarely saw her childlike attitude, how could there be anything she didn't agree, and she didn't care about her own advice, so she went straight to the back kitchen.

Ning Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and Qiu Lu couldn't help but smile when she saw her like this: "It's also that Mama can restrain Gege." ”

Ning Yi glanced at her, "It's not that you talk much." ”

Qiu Lu stuck out her tongue, "The slave maid hasn't finished speaking, this is Gege's excuse, isn't it that Mama interrupted the slave maid." ”

Ning Yi poured a glass of water and heard the faint music outside, and asked casually: "There is a troupe in the house today?" ”

"Yes, Fujin said that the house has not been lively for too long, and this time he specially invited the Yongchang Opera Troupe, which is now in the limelight in Beijing, to set up the stage."

"Indeed, this house has not been lively for too long."

Since those foreigners entered the capital two years ago, they shattered those dreams of being complacent in the Heavenly Empire, this palace, along with the mood of its owner, has been depressed for too long, and sometimes Ning Yi wakes up in a midnight dream, and can still feel the suffocating coldness.

Ning Yi avoided the full moon banquet during the day, but she couldn't escape the family banquet at night.

When Ning Yi arrived in the evening, Fu Jin and the two side concubines and a few Gege were already sitting on the table.

"Fourth sister-in-law."

Ning Yi said hello, and wanted to find a corner to sit down, but was stopped by Fu Jin, with rare enthusiasm, he wanted her to beckon, "Ning Yi is here, come and sit." "I can see that she has a long face today and is in a good mood.

The position of the Guarjia clan is the right side of the main seat, that is, the right hand side of the prince, although if it is more serious, Ning Yi's identity as a gege is above the side concubine, but how can there be a sister-in-law sitting between the sister-in-law and the brother, although this sister-in-law is not a serious sister-in-law.

Ning Yi sat on the seat, and she already felt the cold air emitted by the side concubine Deng Jia.

"Gege hasn't seen him for many days, but his body is better?" Deng Jia's air conditioner naturally did not go to Ning Yi, but looked concerned, and asked the next person to pour a cup of hot water up, "The weather is cold, drink a cup of hot water to warm up your body, the daughter's body is the most important, and the heir will be a big deal in the future." ”

"Okay, what do these words look like in front of Gege." Guerjia's face was not very good-looking, and there was more admonition in her tone, looking at what she said, she was more like a sister-in-law than her.

Ning Yi lowered her head when she heard this, making a shy look, but she couldn't answer it.

Several Gege present also bowed their heads and didn't speak, this Deng Jia's side concubine is really... I don't know whether to say that I am arrogant or not afraid of death, everyone knows that today is the most proud day of Fujin, but she wants to mention it, who doesn't know that Fujin got such a little brother after four years of marriage, doesn't this mean that Fujin delayed the prince's heir?

At this time, Prince Alcohol happened to enter the door, and several women at the table stood up, and it was another harmonious scene.

"Sit down, there aren't so many rules for today's family banquet." Prince Alcohol sat on the main seat, saw Ning Yi on the right hand, saw her pale little face, and his heart of pity rose, but he was a little hesitant about the decision he had made before.

Guerjia looked at the people at the table and tilted his head, "Master, everyone is here." ”

Prince Alcohol raised his hand, "Let's start the table." ”。

Ning Yi's meal can be regarded as a tasteless food, a group of women are lively and sisterly on the surface, but in fact, you come and I are fighting in words, Ning Yi has a feeling of long-term knowledge every time she eats with these sisters-in-law, she thought to herself, fortunately, she ate the noodles cooked by her grandmother before she came.
