Suddenly asked by the old lady, Xi Ningyu didn't react at the first time, so she paused slightly.

"Oh he, he said that it seems that there is something going on in the palace today, and he said that it is possible, and it may be a little later to get by." There are some stumbles in one sentence, so it feels like it's not being true.

This made the thoughtful ladies and ladies below have thoughts in their hearts. Everyone thought that Xi Ningyu would be like this, and it was clear that he might not invite the prince to see him, so he would stumble like this.

In addition, in this imperial capital, those who are thinking about marrying the Zhaojun Palace. instantly thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of, so they all became active in their hearts, thinking that after today, they would go back and let people inquire to see if there was still a chance to send their own woman to the Shizi Mansion to get married.

And those who can't wait, are already preparing in their hearts to see if they can take the opportunity to make Xi Ningyu lose his face tonight!

"Don't worry, Ling Xuanyi will come later. If he doesn't come, it's a big deal that I will rush out of the Prince's Mansion and carry him by his ear to you, and he won't come if I come! When Xi Ningyu said this, some toads yawned, and his tone was not small.

But it is precisely because of this that everyone present who hears it thinks in their hearts. Talking so nonsense, it's no wonder that he lost the favor of the prince of Zhaojun so quickly.

The two others thought so in their hearts, but it doesn't mean that the people of the Chen Mansion are just like them, they don't know anything!

Especially Mrs. Chen, dragging Xi Ningyu and still talking and laughing: "That's it, you are not afraid of him, as long as he has you in his heart, he will only spoil you if you make a fuss casually!" After speaking, Old Madam Chen winked at Xi Ningyu playfully.

An old man and a young man sat at the top of the place, laughing from time to time. There is no distinction between the old and the young, which makes people look very envious.

"The lord of Dingwangfu Bangxia has arrived-" Another word was passed out of the door, but it was Zheng Ci who came.

When Xi Ningyu heard this, he was one step faster than the people from the Chen Mansion and went out.

"I also said that you didn't see anyone coming to the Dingwang Mansion, but I didn't expect Sister Ci to arrive first. Why don't you see the princess and the prince? Xi Ningyu stopped the person, and pulled Zheng Ci to walk inside and asked.

Zheng Ci didn't expect Xi Ningyu to be here, so he was also very happy to hold Xi Ningyu, and the two went to the inner hall side by side.

"The mother concubine is feeling a little unwell today, so she let me come alone. Didn't Daddy discuss state affairs with the emperor in the palace with your family! Zheng Ci and Xi Ningyu said and entered the inner hall side by side.

Zheng Ci raised his head and glanced at the ladies and ladies in the mansion present. Those who are familiar with them nodded their heads one by one, and those who are unfamiliar also said hello with a smile on their faces. walked to the top place, ready to congratulate the old lady of the Chen Mansion on her birthday and say a few auspicious words.

But as soon as Zheng Ci stood in front of the steps, before she could open her mouth, she heard someone say something that made her very upset.

"Look at the people, they are faster than the people in the Chen Mansion. The main master didn't welcome her out, but she was a guest, but crossed the lord's house to welcome the county lord in! It's still the woman with the broken mouth just now, pulling a few little sisters around her who are about the same age, with an unhappy expression when she looks at you, and pointed at Xi Ningyu and said.

Everyone waited to listen to Zheng Ci and congratulate the lord's family on his birthday, but because of this quietness. Let the woman's voice clearly spread throughout the entire inner hall.

This time it really made people feel that they couldn't hide it, and Xi Ningyu couldn't find anything to say for a while. So with a helpless expression, he turned his head and looked at the woman who spoke just now.

And the ladies of the Chen Mansion also looked over with angry faces one by one.

It was still the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen Mansion, You Shi, who reacted faster, and hurriedly spoke: "I heard that the princess and the lord of Bangxia are close, it seems that the rumors are really true, or you two walk together to make people look good, like sisters!" โ€

After that, You Shi also hurriedly led a few of his concubines, and smiled and let Zheng Ci and Xi Ningyu sit down at the top position.

Only then did Zheng Ci open his mouth and say a few auspicious words to worship his birthday, and it also made the originally somewhat congroiding atmosphere in the inner hall of Chen's mansion dissipate.

The maidservants brought chairs and lined them up in order. Originally, before Zheng Ci came, Xi Ningyu sat on top with the old lady of the Chen Mansion to talk. But now that there is one more Zheng Ci, if there is still one on one side, it will be a little too unruly.

Therefore, after Zheng Ci arrived, Xi Ningyu also accompanied Zheng Ci to make some of the next ones, in order to show respect for the main family.

But Xi Ningyu had just sat down, and before he could say a few words, he heard a voice from outside the door: "Mrs. Xiaowuhou, the people from Shun'an Houfu have arrived-"

This time, Xi Ningyu learned to be smart, and looked at You Shi, who stood up and prepared to go out to greet him. Xi Ningyu also stood up and said, "These are my two sisters-in-law, if you don't dislike it, I'll go out to greet you together, right?" โ€

When You Shi heard this, he was naturally happy. Although the Chen Mansion is no longer glorious, but in the end it is still a famous family that has been handed down from generation to generation, and now not only a few favored Mrs. Hou Ye in the imperial capital come to worship her mother-in-law's birthday, but also the princess of Zhaojun Wang accompanied her to greet her, which is naturally a lot of brilliance.

So seeing that his mother-in-law did not object, You happily pulled Xi Ningyu and walked out with several of his concubines, preparing to welcome the two Mrs. Hou into the inner hall.

When several women went out of the hall door, they saw Wan Niang and Hong coming together. And when the two of them saw that Xi Ningyu was also in the crowd that came out to greet them, they were still a little puzzled and threw inquiring eyes at Xi Ningyu.

Xi Ningyu saw it in her eyes and didn't explain much. Instead, he let You Shi and other Chen Mansion sisters-in-law talk to Hong and Wan Niang first.

After they finished saluting each other, Xi Ningyu stepped forward and greeted the two sisters-in-law: "I've seen the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, why are the two sisters-in-law coming late!" โ€

"If you are idle, you are idle and go to other people's houses to take care of things. It's a pleasure now, and if you have nothing to do, you can go to someone's house to bully people! Hong tapped Xi Ningyu's forehead, which seemed to be a lesson, but in fact, he laughed with Xi Ningyu.

When Wan Niang heard that the Hong family made fun of Xi Ningyu like this, she couldn't care about decency for a while, but she was so attracted by Hong's words that she laughed in front of everyone, and she laughed quite loudly!

"Sister-in-law, what you said, hahahaha, but let me, hahaha laugh at me. Hahaha-" Wan Niang held her stomach and covered her mouth and laughed so much that she couldn't stop laughing!

Xi Ningyu also had a grudge on his face, did you talk like this in front of people like this? But the fact is that he really went to the Shizi's Mansion to meddle in things, and he really did a few people in charge.

Don't you just let your sister-in-law talk about it, and go to other people's houses to bully people.

Helpless, Xi Ningyu could only be cheeky. said to Hong: "Sister-in-law, you also pick an occasion to speak, you see that although you are telling the truth, you can wait for no one to come and teach me!" After Xi Ningyu finished speaking, her face was slightly red, and she looked at the Hong family with some resentment.

This time, not only Wan Niang, but even several daughters-in-law of the Chen Mansion, including You Shi, couldn't bear it. They laughed out loud regardless of the occasion, which made the people in the room have a puzzled look on their faces after hearing these laughter outside.

Xi Ningyu's two sisters-in-law, plus several ladies from the Chen Mansion talked lively outside for a while, so they welcomed people in, and when they went to the inner hall to celebrate their birthdays with Mrs. Chen, they each sat down.

As the people who came to pay their respects gradually arrived, the posts sent out by the Chen Mansion and the invited guests were basically the same. As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen Mansion, You Shi, seeing that the auspicious time was almost up, stood up with the implementation, and said to the ladies and ladies present: "Today is the birthday of the mother-in-law, and the ladies and girls have come to make a birthday for the mother-in-law, and You Shi has thanked you here, and today I have prepared a little thin wine, and I invite all the sisters to enjoy it......"

After the opening speech, the visitors present inside and out, accompanied by the daughters-in-law and children of the Chen Mansion, raised their glasses to congratulate Mrs. Chen on her birthday.

After three glasses of wine, everyone sat down, and after tasting a few bites of the dishes on the table, some people came forward to salute Mrs. Chen with a glass of longevity wine according to the difference between grades and grades.

Except for the few high-ranking ladies at the beginning, most of the people who came to toast afterwards were drunk by the daughters-in-law of the Chen Mansion, such as the You family.

After the elders and ladies of each province finished toasting, it was the turn of the famous ladies of the later generation, and the nobles and ladies came forward to toast.

At the same time, the official family also brought the recorded gift list to the inner hall to show the head of the house, You Shi.

Just when You Shi planned to ask the housekeeper to put away the gift list first, and then turned around and dispersed the banquet, and sent away the guests who were talking about the gifts given by the people who came to worship today.

But seeing the few young ladies who had been talking about Xi Ningyu behind their backs, they suddenly spoke: "Speaking of which, the girls who came today also brought their own birthday gifts to celebrate the old lady's birthday.

The gifts given by the housewives of these provinces will not be shallow. But those of us who are juniors, we might as well give our respective gifts, so that all the aunts and aunts present can see who is better, and they have put their hearts into it! Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? โ€

After the woman finished speaking, she glanced at Xi Ningyu a few times, intentionally or unintentionally, and was clearly secretly observing her words and expressions to see if Xi Ningyu had any uneasy behavior.

A playful proposal made the younger women present all moved. But these people who are close to Xi Ningyu can naturally see the meaning of this proposal, and they are clearly aimed at Xi Ningyu.

But whether it's Zheng Ci, or Wan Niang and Hong. Don't worry too much about Xi Ningyu, after all, now that there is the prince of Zhaojun as the backstage, even if today's gift is not too thick, it will never lose its share.

The only thing that worried the Hong family was that Xi Ningyu prepared a gift, which was not very agreeable. After all, this is the first time that Xi Ningyu has participated in the personal exchanges between the nobles of the imperial capital, and the first time that the gifts prepared for this kind of scene will inevitably be unsatisfactory.

Therefore, Hong is only slightly uneasy about this.

Xi Ningyu looked at Hong's look at herself, so she also generously showed a reassuring smile to Hong's, and then looked at the woman who proposed, and said in her heart, girl, I am waiting for you to make a move, I hope you are a person who can stand up to playing, don't let the girl disappoint!
