Chapter 477 Chapter 479 Palace Banquet [1]
Duan Qingming looked at Duan Yulan with a look on her face that she didn't know how to write the word "shame" at all, her eyes were full of ridicule, and a decent smile was still hanging on her face, faintly, she couldn't see the depth at all.
Now, Duan Qingming has fully understood Princess Jinxiu's ultimate intentions. To put it bluntly, this splendid princess just crossed the bridge with Duan Yulan, and then moved her eyes to herself. In fact, strictly speaking, this splendid princess still put her mind on Liu Yuan.
Princess Splendid likes Liu Yuan, so she hopes that her love will be reciprocated, but unfortunately, Liu Yuan doesn't like her at all, so she gradually turns this love into a twisted torture. Thinking of this, Duan Qingming grieved for Liu Yuan.
Originally, it was such a happy thing to be so loved by a woman, but this splendid princess wanted to turn this love into shackles and lock Liu Yuan tightly, so that he didn't even have a chance to refuse, and moreover, he just wanted to suffocate and couldn't breathe. I believe this kind of love is not what anyone wants, including Duan Qingming.
It's just that since this splendid princess has Duan Qingming's idea, then even if Duan Qingming wants to avoid it, she can't avoid it.
Thinking of this, Duan Qingming smiled and said: "Okay, this time, my sister is a blessing to my sister, you can go into the palace to have a look, if there is nothing else, please ask my sister to go back and prepare early, this banquet the day after tomorrow, don't let Princess Jinxiu down." ”
Duan Yulan listened, shook her head, and said proudly: "Sister, don't worry, I naturally won't be embarrassed, it's just ......"
Duan Yulan said, glancing at Duan Qingming. I saw that the other party was wearing a light-colored thick cotton coat and a plain half-used cotton long skirt. With a slender posture and elegant temperament, Duan Qingming is lined with grace and generosity, and it is impossible to be square.
Duan Yulan glanced at Duan Qingming, and then looked at the new cotton clothes on her body, and the sense of superiority in her heart once again floated up. She shook her head and glanced at Duan Qingming and said, "I said, sister, can you still wear these half-worn clothes?" Why is my sister just like this every day? ”
Duan Qingming looked at Duan Yulan's red and green dress, as well as the pearl hairpin and jade ornaments all over her body, and couldn't help but smile lightly: "Sister, think about it, what clothes to wear to the palace the day after tomorrow." ”
Duan Yulan listened, flattened her mouth slightly, and secretly laughed Duan Qingming didn't know what it meant to be ugly, she twisted her body, turned around, and left.
As soon as Duan Yulan left, Duan Qingming's face was difficult to look at.
It seems that this splendid princess will really pick the time. She didn't pick the New Year, she didn't pick the festival, she only picked the ice and snow weather in February, and it was Yan Lingyu's accident. I have to say that this splendid princess is really painstaking.
Moreover, this splendid princess was born in the royal family, so she will naturally have the royal style and solemnity, so although she said that she was a banquet for Duan Qingming and Duan Yulan, there will definitely be a lot of famous ladies present. The so-called famous ladies refer to those noble ladies who have strong family support behind them. Therefore, on that day, as long as there are more people present, the deeper Princess Fairlight's intentions will be hidden.
Duan Qingming closed her eyes slightly, since this invitation has arrived in the mansion, even if she wants to avoid it, she can avoid it, but this can avoid the first day of junior high school, and she can't avoid the fifteenth. In the future, you have to be careful, it is better to face the difficulties this time and let the other party die.
Thinking of this, Duan Qingming opened her eyes and said to Xia Cao'er, "Xia Cao'er, you go and help me call Qiu Ning over." ”
Xia Cao'er listened, glanced at Duan Qingming with some concern, and then led the order out.
After Xia Cao'er went out, Duan Qingming thought about it, took out the letterhead from the desk, wrote a few words on it, and then, together with one thing, put it in a bag. It's just that the words written by Duan Qingming can be said to be very different from those in ordinary days, and I believe that even people who are familiar with her will never recognize it, this is her handwriting. And that thing is a small jade pendant, because it has been taken for too long, so the tassel on the side is a little rotten. It should have been replaced a long time ago, but because it was properly kept, it was still very clean and clear.
Duan Qingming held the sachet and looked at it carefully.
The sachet was completely used to reward the girls, there was no mark, and it was impossible to see who the embroiderer was, after Duan Qingming had seen these things properly, he asked people to call Yuejia and asked her to hand it over to her cousin who was guarding the door, and she went back to the house and read a book.
As soon as Yuejia left, Qiu Ning came, Duan Qingming called Qiu Ning to speak for a while, Qiu Ning couldn't stop nodding, and in the end, he also took the order.
After going back and forth, it took a lot of time, and when Xia Cao'er came back again, she saw Duan Qingming still sitting on the couch, reading the book carefully, as if there was something special in this book that attracted her.
Xia Cao'er stepped forward and said to Duan Qingming, "Miss, at this time, are you still in the mood to read?" ”
You must know that Duan Yu's disappearance and the invitation of the vicious Princess Jinxiu, no matter which of these two things, in Xia Cao'er's opinion, is very tragic. And now, Duan Qingming is still reading books seriously, just because of this calmness, Xia Cao'er has more than she can do.
Duan Qingming raised her head and said to Xia Cao'er, "When is this time?" Why can't I read books? ”
Xia Cao'er listened, stomped her feet vigorously, and said hurriedly: "Miss Mingming, you know that Princess Jinxiu is definitely uneasy and kind, what kind of palace banquet is it, I'm afraid it's a Hongmen banquet, the slaves and maids are about to die, but, Miss, you're good, here, you still look like you're fine." ”
Duan Qingming put down the book in his hand, looked out the window, and said in a low voice: "But, what can I help you in a hurry?" It just makes you think more and more and worry more and more, right? So, when things come, it's better not to think about anything, at the very least, you will still affect your mood because of cranky thoughts. ”
When Xia Cao'er heard this, she couldn't help but shake her head and gave Duan Qingming a thumbs up, she said half flatteringly, half helplessly: "Miss, the slave has obeyed you...... In this world, the most calm person is you. ”
Xia Cao'er's words were only halfway through when Yuejia came in, and she told Duan Qingming that the matter had been done.
Yuejia's serious expression made Xia Cao'er a little puzzled, but she knew that she was just a slave and maid, and she had the duty of being a slave, and she couldn't ask what the master didn't want to say. So, she simply didn't ask anything and went out.
As soon as Xia Cao'er went out, Qiu Ning also came back, she just said a few words to Duan Qingming, and then retreated. Duan Qinghua Ming heard those words, and raised her eyebrows slightly, but Xia Cao'er was confused.
Because, Qiu Ning said: "If Miss Hui is back, the second miss really sent someone to follow." ”
Xia Cao'er wouldn't ask more about things that she couldn't figure out, so she withdrew with Qiu Ning.
When the two of them walked to the door, Duan Qingming's voice suddenly came from inside the door: "Xia Cao'er, Mama Ning is coming back soon, right?" ”
Xia Cao'er turned around and replied, "If you go back to Miss, Mama Ning has been going back to Dingfu on Miss's order, and it has been more than half a month, I'm afraid that she will come back in the next few days, right?" ”
Inside the house, Duan Qingming let out a faint "um" and stopped talking.
Xia Cao'er glanced at Qiu Ning with some confusion, but the other party looked away.
It turned out that this Mama Ning was at the beginning of the lunar month, and she was ordered by Duan Qingming to go back to Ding's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, and by the way, she helped Duan Qingming bring some gifts to Mrs. Ding and a few Mrs. Ding and a few young ladies.
