Qin Yining, Lao Taijun and Sun were on the way to the palace gate to change carriages by the oil-walled car in the palace at this time.

Qin Yining still covered his face and whimpered, and said something in his mouth: "I don't want to marry Deng's disciple, if you promise me to this person, I will throw myself into the river and ......jump into the river" Although the voice was not loud, the internal supervisor who was driving the car outside must have heard it clearly.

The old lady and the old monk generally do not say a word.

Sun couldn't wait to cover Qin Yining's mouth when he heard it, and he had scolded this dead girl who caused trouble thousands of times in his heart, just before the palace, she was like this, and she came out like this. I wanted to teach a few words, but because I was still in the palace, there was an inner supervisor outside the carriage and I couldn't move.

It wasn't until they arrived at the palace gate that the three of them changed into the Zhu Lunhua covered car when they came, and the loyal servants of the Qin family drove the car out of the palace that Qin Yining finally stopped "crying".

Sun couldn't hold back his temper anymore, and scolded violently: "You ignorant dead hooves! It's like a Monkey King in the house, and if you give you a stick, you can overturn your home! Why do people outside say two words to you, you dare to cry in front of the emperor, in case the emperor or the queen blames it, who of us can afford it? Are you trying to harm our family or whatever! ”

Qin Yining hurriedly smiled and grabbed Sun's arm to let her sit down, and said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, you listen to your daughter's explanation." ”

"You explain a fart! I've cried all the time, if the emperor wants to blame, maybe this son will already hold a grudge! What use can you explain! I don't think your father should have come back to you, the originally peaceful days at home were a mess mixed up by you! ”

Qin Yining was still smiling, but the smile in his eyes gradually receded.

Although I have some understanding of Sun's temperament, I don't want to care about it, but I am often hurt by Sun's occasional words.

It's just that Sun is her mother, she doesn't protect her, can she see her being reprimanded by her mother-in-law?

Qin Yining expanded the smile on the corner of his mouth a little more, and said: "Mother, don't be angry, you listen to me, I just cried like that on purpose, originally I was the one who was molested by the disciples, if I don't take the opportunity to cry, I'm afraid that the emperor will decree me to the Cao family on the spot." ”

Sun was stunned for a moment, and his arrogance immediately subsided.

She was just angry that Qin Yining was crying in front of the palace, but she didn't want Qin Yining to marry such a disciple.

Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't make sense for him to reprimand his daughter, is it good that Qin Yining doesn't cry or make trouble and waits for the emperor to give him a marriage?

Sun came back to his senses and coughed lightly twice in embarrassment, in exchange for a dissatisfied look from the old lady.

Qin Yining continued to explain: "I'm not picky about marriage, but now I don't know what my father means, how can I deal with things in a daze? ”

Qin Yining was like a mirror in her heart, her marriage must be a marriage, and the object of the marriage must be an object that is helpful to Qin Huaiyuan, she had already thought of this when she promised to return to the Qin family.

In the world's women's marriages, who is not the words of the matchmaker of their parents? My father said that the object of his marriage was to someone who would help him in his career, but for her, it was no different. Anyway, it's not all the same who to marry?

Sun had completely recovered by this time, and he couldn't imagine that when she was only nervous and worried, Qin Yining had already thought about it so much!

The strange mother said that Qin Yining saw things clearly, and asked her to ask Qin Yining's opinion more, think about it carefully, the last time she listened to Qin Yining's words, she took the initiative to go to the old lady to submit to the softness, Qin Huaiyuan not only did not reprimand her, but also made peace with her, this time Qin Yining saw the emperor and could be so clear-headed and improvised.

Sun smiled with satisfaction and nodded Qin Yining's forehead, but because she scolded people too harshly, she felt a little remorseful, and felt that it was unreasonable for a mother to apologize to her daughter.

"Yesterday, your uncle asked someone to send you the fur of two white foxes, and your grandmother asked someone to send them, saying that they were used as fur collars when making big clothes for you, and I asked you to pick oranges to send them to you."

Qin Yining knew that when the Sun family said this, he was showing goodwill, and he didn't care about the words of the Sun family, let alone that the fox fur was not given to her alone, so he only smiled and said, "Thank you mother, and thank you grandmother." ”

Seeing that Qin Yining was smiling as usual, Sun liked it in his heart.

The old lady is used to seeing the mother and daughter like this these days, and she is used to it, but she feels more sorry for Qin Yining in her heart.

I wanted to reprimand Sun for a few words, but it can be seen that Qin Yining smiled and talked with Sun's hand, and now that the atmosphere is so good, the old lady's mouth can't be opened.

The carriage returned all the way back to the Qin Mansion, and as soon as it stopped in front of the mansion, I saw a few small servants coming up.

Qin Huaiyuan's eldest follower Qitai bowed and said, "The old lady, the eldest lady, and the fourth lady are back!" Master Tai thought about you in his heart, and specially ordered the villain to wait here, and the villain went back to Master Tai's words. ”

The old lady helped Qin Yining and Sun's men get out of the car, and said with a smile: "Ask your master to go to Cixiao Garden to talk, and say that I have something important to talk to him." ”

Qitai bowed down and waited for Lao Taijun, Sun and Qin Yining to get on the small sedan chair for travel, and then went to the study in the outer courtyard to reply.

The group returned to Xingning Garden, and just after untying their cloaks and sitting down to eat a sip of hot tea, Qin Huaiyuan hurried over.

Seeing Qin Huaiyuan enter the door, Qin Yining and the Sun family hurriedly got up and saluted.

Qin Huaiyuan waved his hand, carefully looked at the faces of the three people, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he relaxed slightly.

Qin Yining thought that the old lady must be going to discuss the affairs of the palace with Qin Huaiyuan, so he took Sun's arm and said, "Didn't my mother say that she wanted to give me a fox skin?" I'm also hungry for the pine nuts and osmanthus candy made by Mama Jin, this time I will follow my mother to Xingning Garden, and I will ask someone to send my food box over later, let's have lunch together, okay? ”

When Qin Yining asked "Is it good", his voice was soft and glutinous, and people couldn't bear to refuse when he heard it.

Sun naturally likes his daughter to be close to him, and he also has the intention of making up for scolding the wrong person, so he immediately smiled and nodded, and turned to salute the old lady and Qin Huaiyuan: "Let's leave first." ”

The old lady nodded with a smile.

Watching his subordinates serve the Sun family and Qin Yining, they put on their cloaks and went out. The old lady sank his face and said to Qin Huaiyuan: "Today, thanks to Sister Yi'er's improvisation, otherwise things would be unimaginable." ”

Qin Huaiyuan sat down beside the old lady, frowned, and said, "What happened?" ”

The old lady explained to Qin Huaiyuan how he entered the palace today, what everyone's demeanor was, and what they said.

Finally, he said: "If it weren't for Sister Yi'er crying on the spot, clamoring to become a monk and join the family, I'm afraid the emperor and the queen would have married on the spot." I think the Cao family is simply uneasy and kind. And I always feel like it's not over yet. The queen clearly holds a grudge against our family, and she wants to take Sister Yi'er under the knife. ”

Qin Huaiyuan said: "I understand this matter. The emperor favors the queen alone, and there is also the queen's pillow wind after listening to it, but why does the emperor behave like this......"

Qin Huaiyuan rubbed his fingers against the smooth tabletop, pondered for a moment, and already understood in his heart: "I'm afraid it's because I became the prince and the prince." "But why did the emperor do this suddenly? Was it a long-planned plan, or was it improvised?

"Oh?" The old lady didn't know much about the affairs of the court, so he asked: "You have become the prince's teacher, what's wrong with it?" Is it worth the emperor's approach? ”

Qin Huaiyuan understood these things in his heart, but he was unwilling to tell his mother about these messes, which would only annoy the old lady, in case he was bored, it would not be good, so he brought the old lady a bowl of tea with a light smile.

"Mother don't care, my son knows all these things in his heart, and he can handle them well, so you just help your son take care of the inner house, and you can already make your son grateful."

The old lady laughed: "You kid, what do you say in the family." She was really distracted, and talked to Qin Huaiyuan about some things to prepare for the New Year.

Qin Huaiyuan patiently accompanied the old lady to plan how to spend the new year, how to arrange it later, and other homely topics, and also accompanied the old lady to have lunch together.

After rinsing her mouth, Mama Qin came in with a smile, took the warm handkerchief in Qin Huaiyuan's hand to wipe the old lady's hands, and joked with a smile: "The old lady is in such a good mood today, but is it because the master serves you better?" Have the old slaves been compared? ”

As she spoke, from an angle that the old lady couldn't see, Mama Qin gave Qin Huaiyuan a look.

Qin Huaiyuan immediately realized that there was something outside.

The old lady laughed: "Lu Juan, how old are you, and you are still compared with Meng Ge'er." ”

Qin Huaiyuan said with a smile: "I am naturally incomparable with Mama Qin, Mama Qin has served her mother wholeheartedly and faithfully all her life, it is my son who is busy outside, knowing that my mother is living smoothly at home, and my heart can also be at ease." ”

"The old slave doesn't dare to be it, it is the duty of the old slave to serve the old lady." Mama Qin turned around and saluted Qin Huaiyuan, but quietly gestured to him, and silently opened her mouth to say, "The prince is here."

Qin Huaiyuan nodded with an unchanged smile and said, "Mother, take a nap in the afternoon, my son still has something to do outside, so I'll go first." ”

"Go ahead, I've delayed you for so long." The son is a powerful minister in the court, and there must be a lot of things to deal with, and she is already very satisfied to be able to spare time to accompany her to talk about the arrangements for the New Year with an old woman and son, and also accompany her to lunch.

Qin Huaiyuan respectfully saluted the old lady and retreated.

Out of the door of Cixiao Garden, Chang Sui Qitai walked quickly to the front, and said in a low voice: "Master, the prince is here, wearing civilian clothes, without an entourage, the villain seems that the prince came quietly by himself, and the villain did not dare to publicize it, so he arranged people to eat tea in the study." ”

"Hmm." Qin Huaiyuan responded, thinking in his heart that maybe the prince came in a hurry to solve the doubts in his heart.

There was no sign before, and he didn't understand why the emperor suddenly wanted to arrange his daughter to be married to someone from the Cao family. What good is it for the emperor to tie the Qin family and the Cao family together.
