Qin Yining smiled politely, "Thank you." Mrs. Ampingber, please take your seat. ”

"Don't dare, princess, please."

Mrs. An Pingbo and Qin Yining made a polite gesture, and then they humbly conceded to each other and sat down side by side.

Jiyun and rock candy had refreshments, and then quietly retreated in the corner.

Qin Yining brought the tea bowl to Mrs. An Pingbo, "Please taste it, this is the black tea that just came in." The weather is cold, and eating some black tea is better for the body. ”

Seeing that Qin Yining was so easy-going, Mrs. An Pingbo let go of her hanging heart. In the past, she heard that the Qin family was very favored by Prince Zhongshun, and she was a noble daughter, and she was so beautiful, so she preconceived that this must be a slightly arrogant woman based on experience.

Although An Pingbo has a title, he has not been in power for a long time, and he has already left the center of power for many years, and they are naturally incomparable with the only prince with a different surname in this dynasty.

It was Mrs. An Pingbo who had the heart to make friends and politely talked to Qin Yining, and after a while, she found that Qin Yining herself was as easy to get along with as she appeared. She stopped being cautious and spoke much more freely.

After chatting a few words, Mrs. An Pingbo saw that the atmosphere was just right, so she smiled and said: "I came to disturb the princess today, but I actually helped Zhongyibo and the Bian family to invite the princess." ”

"Oh?" Qin Yining remained silent, "Is it a wedding banquet?" You have also seen that it is really inconvenient for me and the prince to come to the banquet and drink, one is afraid of colliding with the newcomer, and the other is that we are in the filial piety period, and we can't have fun. ”

"What the princess said is that this is the same as our house." Mrs. Anpingbo said, "You will know it when you look at me. However, Zhongyibo discussed it with Concubine Zhuang and the Bian family, and they all felt that it was not good for us to be neglected like this.

"This time the wedding of the loyal and righteous uncle, many noble families in the court only gave congratulatory gifts because they were in the filial piety period, but they could not participate in the wedding banquet. Zhongyibo set up a private room in a restaurant not far from Zhongyibo's house, which did not hold singing and dancing, nor did it need silk and bamboo orchestras, so only arranged two tables of light meals, and those of us who were inconvenient to attend the wedding banquet would get together for a light meal. Uncle Zhongyi also knows about your mansion, but he also asks the princess and the prince to go with a face, otherwise Uncle Zhongyi will never be happy in his heart. ”

Qin Yining was slightly hesitant when he heard this.

In fact, it is very common to hold a table in a quiet place to thank the guests who can't participate in the wedding banquet, and if the rest of the guests who can't go to the wedding banquet in person all nod, if she and Xiao Xiao don't agree, they will attract people's handles, which will not only open the sinner, but also leave infinite space for reverie for people to talk nonsense behind their backs.

Qin Yining didn't want to be too unsociable with Xiao Xiao.

Seeing Qin Yining's hesitation, Mrs. An Pingbo smiled and said, "The princess is worried that there will be no familiar people, right?" The two of us are so close to each other, when the time comes, we will sit next to each other, and I will introduce you to you. Most of these ladies and ladies in the city are still very easy-going, and the more they meet in the future, they will naturally become familiar with each other. ”

This is exactly one of the reasons why Qin Yining wants to go.

She was not familiar with the noblewomen of the court, and when she returned to the capital to settle down, the first thing was to make the interaction between the women clear and understand, and with this opportunity, she could enter the circle of the noblewomen in advance, and she did not have to look for another opportunity.

Qin Yining guessed that Xiao Xiao would be jealous, but they all knew in their hearts that Xiao Xiao was a reasonable person, and they should also agree with her decision.

Thinking of this, Qin Yining no longer hesitated, and said, "What Mrs. An Pingbo said is reasonable, but I don't know when it was?" ”

As soon as she agreed, Mrs. An Pingbo laughed and said, "On the day they got married on the eighth day of the first month, there was a Shunfu restaurant near Bofu, don't worry, we are just looking for another place to have a light meal, and we won't break the rules." ”

Qin Yining smiled and said, "I will definitely go to the appointment when I arrive, but my prince has been in poor health recently, and he is sick in bed, so he can't go with me." ”

Qin Yi would rather agree, and Mrs. An Pingbo already had something to say to An Pingbo, not to mention what is the identity of Xiao Xiao? What is he going to do, how can he allow outsiders to put their beaks in their mouths?

Mrs. Anpingbo agreed, smiled and got up to take her leave.

Qin Yining personally sent the person to the door before turning back to the inner house.

Xiao Xiao asked the reason carefully, Qin Yining said it carefully, and finally said, "Let's go back to Beijing, during your illness, the only people who dare to visit are Dingguo Gong and your former subordinates." At this time, there is a lot of crisis, and we should also find a suitable way to expand our network appropriately. ”

Xiao Xiao thought for a while and said, "What you said is reasonable. In this case, on the eighth day of the first month, you should take Jiyun and rock candy with you. One of them has kung fu on their bodies, the other is good at medicine, and with them by your side, I can rest assured. I'm arranging for a few other people to protect you secretly, so I won't let you have any problems. ”

Qin Yining was a little surprised by his attitude, didn't he like her very much to have anything to do with Lu Heng.

If she is a woman who has coveted her for a long time and wants to get married, she will not forget to invite her to be present before getting married, she will feel a little uncomfortable.

Qin Yining only cared about the generosity of the owl, but he didn't know that the owl had greeted Lu Heng's ancestors for the eighteen generations in his heart. And no matter who Lu Heng wants to marry now, and who he is tempted by, he has been coveting his sister in the past, and he will make small moves behind his back!

If it weren't for his trust in Qin Yining's character, knowing that Lu Heng could only be good to Concubine Zhuang's cousin in order to curry favor with Li Qitian now, and he didn't dare to make other moves at all, he wanted to go directly to the Zhongyi Uncle's Mansion to grab this person's collar and kick him on the ground to vent his anger.

The thoughts in my heart are complicated, but I am very generous on my face. I didn't want Qin Yining to underestimate him, thinking that he was a person with a small belly.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Yining got up early in the morning, and Jiyun brought a crescent white brocade dark cloud pattern gown that had been prepared earlier, and served her to wash and change clothes.

The rock candy skillfully turned it flexibly, and pulled Qin Yining's long black and shiny hair into a bun, which was decorated with a plain silver phoenix hairpin.

Xiao Xiao leaned on the big pillow near the window to read, but the corner of his eyes kept staring at Qin Yining's direction, seeing that she was dressed in light color, and there was no gold ornament and gemstone decoration on her head, and she didn't even use too bright makeup, but the beauty and charm she revealed from her bones were from the inside out, so that he didn't even want to blink when he looked at it.

Qin Yining sorted it out, and as soon as he turned around, he looked at Shang Xiaoxiao's burning gaze full of appreciation, and couldn't help but say funny: "What do you look at, Lord Wang?" ”

"Look at how beautiful my sister is." Xiao Xiao got up and walked to Qin Yining, put his big hand around her and said, "Sister Yi'er, why don't you go today?" ”

Qin Yining said funny: "You're all ready, why don't you go?" ”

Xiao Xiao snorted: "Our sister Yi is so beautiful, why did she show them in vain?" ”

Qin Yining burst out laughing: "Domineering." ”

"It's still domineering." Scoundrels.

Jiyun and Bingtang saw that Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining were tired of being together again, so they both held back a smile and quietly retreated.

"The prince and the princess are really affectionate. Does the prince hate to let the princess cover her face wherever she goes? Rock Candy joked with a smile.

Jiyun giggled, "You still say, aren't you and your Huzi like this?" ”

Bing Candy's face turned red all of a sudden, and he stamped his feet and glared at Jiyun, "You bad hooves, you will only make me up, aren't you ...... with the Tang guards these days?"

"Oops! You still say! Jiyun's face turned red now.

The two maidservants glared at each other, both of them looked like Xia Fei's cheeks and eyes were full of spring water, Qin Yining came out of the house, saw them like this, and said strangely: "What's wrong?" I'm afraid I'm not competing for sugar to eat? ”

Jiyun and Bingtang couldn't help but laugh.

Qin Yining took the two of them out, and Xiao Xiao called Tang Xiu over and whispered a few words.

The driver of the carriage that Qin Yining rode and the guards who followed the carriage had been replaced with Jinghu Guard, and the safety was completely guaranteed.

When the carriage came to Shunfu Restaurant, the steward guarding the street saw that it was the canopy car from the Zhongshun Qin Palace, and hurriedly came forward to greet him respectfully.

Qin Yining followed the steward into the restaurant, and went directly to a private room on the second floor next to the end of the corridor.

"Princess, the ladies are all here now, please come in."

Qin Yining bowed his head and entered the house after the steward passed the news.

When I looked outside the door, I only thought that this was a room with one or two tables of eight immortals, but when I entered the door, I found that this box was very spacious, and it was not a problem to put ten tables and eight tables.

There are already a lot of female dependents, as Mrs. An Pingbo said yesterday, the female dependents who came here are all unable to attend the wedding banquet for some reason, everyone is wearing plain clothes, Qin Yining's crescent moon white is not abrupt among the plain white, tooth white, and royal blue of the ladies.

Mrs. An Pingbo's sharp eyes found that Qin Yining had arrived, and she greeted her with a smile, "Princess Zhongshun is here?" Come on. ”

As he spoke, he took Qin Yining's hand affectionately and walked to the Eight Immortals table where the women were sitting, and said with a smile, "This is Prince Zhongshun." ”

Among the women present, a few Qin Yining looked familiar, and some were indeed unfamiliar.

Qin Yining bowed his head silently, and then followed the enthusiastic Mrs. An Pingbo to recognize everyone present.

These ladies are different from other official wives that Qin Yining has seen, these women are in a similar situation at home, most of them are men in the family who have moved away from the core of power, and they all have a little more tranquil and peaceful aura on their bodies. Xu has not been involved in the affairs of the court for too long, each of them seems to be very peaceful, and even the speed of speaking is slower, none of them are unhurried, and they have their own bearing.

Qin Yining has a good memory, and after recognizing a circle of people, he remembered everyone, and also analyzed the temperament of each of them.

And these ladies are also very familiar with Qin Yining, the legend of this woman's life is only one aspect, the most important thing is that the groom and official who are married today have some relationship with the one in front of them.

If not, why would the Queen Mother match them in front of many courtiers in Ci'an Palace?
