After a while, I saw Li Quan follow Qinglian into the main hall.
"I've seen Miss, is Miss okay when she comes in?" Li Quanyi greeted Xi Ningyu as he saluted.
Since Xi Ningyu confirmed that this Li Quan could be trusted and reused, he was no longer on guard everywhere, so at this moment, seeing that Li Quan was so sensible and respectful, he also smiled at Li Quan and said: "It's all good, but you are alone in running the entire car dealership, and you are tired!" β
It was a little heartwarming to be said by Xi Ningyu with a little care, and Li Quan also knew that what he had done over the years had finally been recognized by the woman in front of him.
So Li Quanxin was happy, and he let go a little and was no longer so restrained.
Xi Ningyu talked to Li Quan about some gossip, and Li Quan also understood the matter and took advantage of the words to change the topic to the business he came to today.
"Miss, I have been so disturbed today that I have recently discovered a very strange thing. Because it was related to the last time I was involved in the Young Master's Mansion, I specially ordered someone to keep an eye on the Young Master's Mansion for a while, and I really found an abnormal phenomenon...... "Li Quan didn't talk nonsense, and he told Xi Ningyu about the situation found in the handlebar style under him, as well as the abnormality he noticed after paying special attention to it.
At first, I didn't think there was anything, but after thinking about what Li Quan said a few times, Xi Ningyu's heart suddenly moved, and he noticed a trace of difference!
After repeatedly confirming with Li Quan here, he asked Qing Lian to take some silver to Li Quan, and explained that he had recently relaxed his behavior of keeping an eye on the Young Master's Mansion so as not to cause trouble.
Moreover, Xi Ningyu was also afraid that Li Quan would not know the depths, and his rash actions would cause him to be killed, and he would even startle the snake.
Therefore, Li Quan was repeatedly explained before he was asked to leave the Xi Mansion.
Swept away the servants and maidservants on call in the hall, leaving only the fish and the clear shadow that followed him. Xi Ningyu sat on the chair at the top, thinking about what Li Quan said.
The crown prince of Beiyan has been wandering around the imperial capital recently, and it happens that he has hired Li Quan's carriage to travel several times, but he does not use the official carriage prepared in the Xiqin Post House at all, so Li Quan's subordinates noticed the abnormality.
Every time the prince of Beiyan travels after Yan E, there will suddenly be a few more strangers on the way, and sometimes he will suddenly lose one or two from the traveling team.
Over time, finally when it was close to dusk, the mercenary of the car dealership paid attention to the Prince of Beiyan and his party under Li Quan's special instructions. found the crown prince and young master Han Duan, and actually walked out of the room in the Qinglou where the prince of Beiyan went that night!
So after Li Quan knew about it, he felt the need to mention it to Xi Ningyu.
The more he pondered, the more suspicious Xi Ningyu felt in his heart. The prince and young master of Western Qin should not casually associate with the prince of the enemy country. This is not only to avoid suspicion, but also because the identity of the prince and young master is already very sensitive, and he should be cautious in his words and deeds.
If you have to have fellowship, you should meet in public or in an official place. But I went to the Qinglou archway in Xiqin, and this thing is a bit compelling......
"Qinglian! You go to the Shizi Mansion and invite Fuqin and Moying to me, and say that I have something urgent, so let them put down everything they have at hand and come over immediately! The more Xi Ningyu thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he hurriedly instructed Qinglian to invite Moying and Fuqin over to discuss.
Because he knew that Ling Xuanyi had something to discuss with Emperor Xiqin today, he would not return to the house yet, so Xi Ningyu did not let people inform Ling Xuanyi. Instead, he invited the two most powerful people around Ling Xuanyi first.
Qing Lian saw Xi Ningyu's solemn expression, so he also knew that it must be a big deal. So after answering, he turned around and walked away quickly.
Within three quarters of an hour, I saw Qinglian hurriedly enter the mansion with Moying and Fuqin, and as soon as he entered the hall, he saw Xi Ningyu sitting in a daze with a touch of melancholy on his face.
"I've seen Madame!" Mo Ying and Fuqin didn't care about anything else, they first gave Xi Ningyu a salute.
"Huh?" Xi Ningyu was disturbed by the salute of the two, and when she saw the two of them arriving, she hurriedly said: "Okay, when will the two of you learn to be so cumbersome, and that title, after all, I haven't passed the door yet, and I haven't even settled a day with Ling Xuanyi, is it really okay for you to call your wife, the master's mother, and the princess!" β
Xi Ningyu is actually very awkward, although she has come to this era, she has also learned to adapt. But even so, before the formal ceremony, even Xi Ningyu, a soul from modern times, felt very unaccustomed to being called a master mother, a lady, or something like that!
Fuqin saw that Xi Ningyu had been called the master for so long, and she still felt a little funny. But Ling Xuanyi's thoughts, Fuqin understands very well.
"Madame doesn't have to worry too much about this, let alone what outsiders will think. What kind of temperament does the prince have, you actually know very well, according to his temperament, he can personally ask His Majesty to marry on that occasion, it can be seen that the heroine of the mansion is none other than you!
Therefore, it doesn't matter what others think of or how they talk about it. We, the people in the house, or the subordinates around the prince, will naturally regard you as the heroine.
Madame doesn't have to feel awkward or uncomfortable, if you really don't fit in, then your subordinates can only say please Madame, adapt as soon as possible! After Fuqin finished speaking, she still had a good smile on her face.
Mo Ying on the side was too, looking at Xi Ningyu with a serious face.
Listening to Fuqin say so much, it is equivalent to saying it in vain. Left and right is to let yourself accept your fate and be the mistress of this prince's mansion.
didn't bother to talk to Fuqin anymore, Xi Ningyu, who already had something in his heart, immediately said with a straight face: "That's it, let's get down to business." β
β¦β¦
After Fuqin and Moying left the Xi Mansion, they each went according to the method discussed with Xi Ningyu. As for Ling Xuanyi's side, Xi Ningyu also explained to Fuqin, and told him as soon as possible, lest Xi Qin be calculated, so he could only let others take advantage of him in hindsight.
As for how the imperial court responds to the defense, that is the matter of the official family. Xi Ningyu didn't plan to take care of it, after all, if he could tell the news he had obtained, he would already do his best.
The days have slipped away like this, and the day of the old woman's birthday in the Chen Mansion that Steward Hao said before has come to the end.
I got up early in the morning to prepare, and the birthday gifts were prepared a day earlier.
After lunch, I rested in the house for half a day. Seeing that the sun was faintly westward, Xi Ningyu took Qingying, Toad, and Qingcai in a carriage to the area where the nobles of the imperial capital gathered.
This Chen Mansion is after a relict of the previous dynasty. The founding king of the Western Qin Dynasty remembered the loyalty of his family, so he could not bear to kill him, but instead gave him the title of hereditary prince.
Later, with the death of the old prince, the descendants declined from generation to generation, although from time to time there are still a few descendants who are officials in the Western Qin Dynasty, but they are also some officials below the third grade, and there is no way to restore the Chen Mansion to the past scenery.
But after so many generations, he has always maintained a good relationship with the original Zhaojun Palace. From generation to generation
came, until Ling Xuanyi's generation, because his parents died early, and he didn't have a wife to be friends in the house. Therefore, it has become a little estranged in recent years, but it is only a formality, and the hearts of the people of the two provinces have never been truly estranged.
Therefore, now in the mansion of the prince of Zhaojun, with the appearance of Xi Ningyu, it is natural to move around each other. And this old lady's birthday is a good reason!
Xi Ningyu's carriage was uneventful all the way, just before sunset. The carriage stopped outside the gate of Chen's mansion, and Xi Ningyu was helped out of the carriage by two girls.
"Yo, although this courtyard looks a little old, it makes people feel full of a sense of silence and simplicity, and the vicissitudes of life. It can be seen that the people who live in this house are not only noble, but also famous families! When Xi Ningyu first got out of the carriage, he looked at the gate of Chen's Mansion and the surrounding scenery, and let out such a few exclamations!
Cut these few words, so that the old housekeeper of the Chen Mansion who greeted the guests outside the gate of the mansion, as well as those servants, could hear it. So I looked at Xi Ningyu, who was already outstanding and extraordinary, and liked it even more.
"Forgive me for my clumsy eyes, I don't know which house this girl is from, but she can bring the invitation to the birthday banquet?" The old housekeeper hurriedly took two steps down and stood at the foot of the steps with Xi Ningyu, before bowing politely and with a kind and kind smile on his face, he asked Xi Ningyu.
Xi Ningyu also smiled at the person who seemed to be a housekeeper, but did not speak.
Because they have Qingying and others by their side, they naturally have to deal with such things.
"We are here from Xifu, and we are here for the birthday of the old lady of your mansion. As for the invitation...... Yes, yes, yesβ" Toad said this, a little hesitant. After all, Xi Ningyu hadn't passed the door yet, but he came with the post of the Shizifu, and it would be a little inappropriate if he handed it out.
But since Xi Ningyu is here, she doesn't have so many scruples. But Toad hesitated, so he smiled generously and said, "Okay, it doesn't matter, just give it to this housekeeper." β
The old housekeeper is also a sensible person, and when he saw that Toad was a little slurred after speaking, he thought that these people were from a small family. But just at the few words when the young lady in front of him got out of the car just now, the old housekeeper understood in his heart that these were all people who were not high-status, but knew very politely.
Therefore, he didn't mean to look down at it, but still maintained a kind smile on his face, and accepted the invitation handed by Toad.
As soon as he opened it, the old butler was about to see which Xi Mansion it was. But then his face changed, and then the post in his hand trembled slightly.
"It turns out that you are-hey, why didn't you explain it earlier, it was the old slave who was rude, and you apologized to the princess!" After that, the old housekeeper of the Chen Mansion was about to kneel down in a hurry!
"Slow and slow, the old man doesn't have to be like this, it's the first time we're here, you don't know it, and I haven't officially visited the house, it's not wrong!" Xi Ningyu hurriedly asked Toad to help the old butler up, and then said these words, so that the stubborn old butler who was still about to kneel down and salute stopped.
The old housekeeper of the Chen Mansion saw that Xi Ningyu was not to blame, so he hurriedly led people to the door of the mansion in person. When he arrived at the door, the old housekeeper took a breath, lowered his voice and said, "Zhaojun Wang Shizi's Mansion, the prince is the concubine and the concubine is hereββ!!! β
A shout spread through, causing many people in the house to turn their heads and look back. For a while, they all looked outside the door of the Chen Mansion, and they all wanted to see what the princess who had been rumored about in recent days would be today.
