Chapter 298: The Jiang Family's Dinner
Luo Yunshuang was silent for a while, in Luo Yunxiao's matter, the reason why she has been tolerating and retreating step by step is for her father. Her father treats her as his own daughter, but Luo Yunxiao is the real father's daughter. In a certain way, she has already snatched Luo Yunxiao's father's love, so she doesn't want to hurt her life.
Having come to this point, no one is more reluctant than Luo Yunshuang. But fate is like this, the more unwilling you are, the more you can't avoid it. He can't change Luo Yunxiao's temperament, this is the path she chooses by herself, and others can't replace her.
This topic was very sad, and Lady Helian and Luo Yunshuang consciously avoided it. Luo Yunshuang remembered one more thing and asked, "Mother, it turns out that your relationship with the emperor of Southern Chu is not ordinary!" Why have I never heard of you? ”
Yes, Helian Qingshuang is Luo Yunshuang's aunt, and her mother Helian Qinghe grew up in the Huyan grassland. However, Luo Yunshuang had never heard Helian Qingshuang mention things about his youth. She didn't pay attention to it before, but since she met Song Yunqing in Nanchu, she heard him talk about Helian Qingshuang's life in the Huyan grassland. Luoyunshuang felt that something was wrong. Mother is not an ordinary woman, she also has a vigorous past. Those should be very good memories, why did she never mention them?
Helian Qingshuang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. She nodded and said, "Yes, when I met him, he was still the crown prince of Nanchu, and after so many years, we are all old." ”
"Mother, you're not old!" Luo Yunshuang noticed that Lady Helian's expression was a little sad. Although she didn't understand why, she could sense that her mother was reluctant to continue the conversation. So she smiled and said, "Also, that emperor misses you very much, and because of this, he named me the princess of Nanchu." Mother, you won't be upset, will you? ”
"How so?" Lady Helian smiled, "He is my junior brother, that is, your senior uncle, and he was originally your elder. Besides, in the past, I was as close to him as a brother and sister, and now it is normal for him to treat you as his own daughter. ”
Luo Yunshuang nodded, anyway, this matter has no impact on her life, so she won't worry about it.
The two had lunch in the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion, and because they had to deal with the Jiang family's dinner in the evening, Luo Yunshuang and Ning Qi did not stay longer, returned to Song Mingzhao's palace, rested for an afternoon, and waited until the lights were on, and the Jiang family sent someone to invite.
Perhaps in order to show their sincerity with the greatest sincerity, the person who came to invite Ning Qi Luo Yunshuang turned out to be the eldest son of the Jiang family, Jiang Cheng's biological son, Jiang Yushu.
It's just that the effect of this is not very good, because Luo Yunshuang has always had a deep affection for Jiang Yushu, and when she saw him, her eyes were full of discomfort.
"Little princess, little princess. My father has been preparing a banquet for a long time. Let's go, right? ”
In Luo Yunshuang's understanding, the Jiang family may have good people, but she has never seen it. In other words, all the Jiang family she has seen is not a good thing, and of course, this Jiang Yushu who also held the Emperor's Scepter to suppress him is also included. Moreover, Jiang Yushu is very arrogant, and often doesn't take others seriously, so he asks him to invite him personally, Luo Yunshuang felt that he should be very reluctant at first. But what she didn't expect was that Jiang Yushu's attitude was very humble and sincere, as if he was inviting them as guests from the bottom of his heart, and his amiable attitude made people look at it, and people who didn't understand the situation thought how harmonious they were!
It's impossible! If Prime Minister Jiang Cheng can play to this extent, Luo Yunshuang is not surprised, but Jiang Yushu does not seem to have such profound skills, every time he saw Luo Yunshuang before, he could always blow his nose and stare at him angrily, it can be seen that he is not a person who can control his emotions, so what is the situation now?
Luo Yunshuang stared at Jiang Yushu carefully, hoping to see something from his face, but what disappointed her was that he found that Jiang Yushu was really sincere, and the sincerity made her feel a little that she was so suspicious that Jiang Yushu was a villain.
Forget it, anyway, I'm going to Jiang's house tonight anyway, no matter what the hell is his cause, anyway, this Jiang Yushu is very abnormal, probably because his brain is pumping.
Since His Royal Highness King Zhao's palace was not too far from Jiang's house, Luo Ningshuang and Ning Qi took the carriage brought by Jiang Yushu and soon arrived at Jiang's house. As soon as I got out of the car, I found that Prime Minister Jiang Cheng had already taken his family and stood outside the door to greet him, which made Luo Yunshuang a little flattered, the Jiang family really made a lot of money, what did they have to calculate with such a variety of flattery?
"The little prince and the little princess are here, please come in quickly, please come in, the two of you are here, it really makes our Jiang Mansion shine!" Prime Minister Jiang personally welcomed the two into the door, with a smile on his face, and said, "The banquet is ready, please two here." ”
Luo Yunshuang looked around at the layout and furnishings of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and had to say that although Prime Minister Jiang was very annoying, the courtyard of the Jiang family was very eye-catching.
Luo Ningshuang walked around the room, turned his head and said to Prime Minister Jiang Cheng, "Prime Minister Jiang, presumably your house is also a reward from the Holy Heaven, right?" ”
Prime Minister Jiang smiled when he heard this, touched his beard, and said, "What the little princess said is true, this house is indeed a gift from the saint when the old ministers worshiped the prime minister's position, and it has been many years, and it can be regarded as an old mansion." ”
Luo Yunshuang nodded, looking at the specifications of this house, it doesn't look like a folk building. She asked again, "The decoration in this mansion must have been renovated by you recently?" It all looks a little trendy. ”
"The little princess really has a vision." Prime Minister Jiang Cheng said with some pride, "This courtyard has indeed been repaired recently. Although it is old, it is still passable. Barely live! ”
Luo Yunshuang pursed her lips, "Prime Minister Jiang is too polite!" Are you still barely living here? I see, it's almost much stronger than the Ning Wangfu that the emperor just rewarded me. ”
Luo Yunshuang knew very well that the Jiang family's meal today must have a purpose, but since they came, in order to figure out the purpose, before that, they had to be harmonious.
After all, when you are a guest in someone's house, you can't fight back the tension, right?
The Jiang family actively contributed to today's banquet, naturally they were trying to be perfect, Ning Qi cooperated early in the morning, and now with Luo Yunshuang's good attitude, the guests and hosts at the banquet were very happy.
The whole dinner was arranged without leakage, and the singers and dancers were called to sing and dance halfway, until the meal was over, and the Jiang family did not have any abnormal behavior.
Although Luo Yunshuang felt very surprised, she couldn't say anything, she couldn't say how you want to harm us, hurry up, so she could only pretend to be drunk, and put her arm on Ning Qi's shoulder, she was a little unstable.
Ning Qi saw that she was "drunk", so she said goodbye to Prime Minister Jiang Cheng, but as soon as he finished speaking, Prime Minister Jiang Cheng said, "Hey, it's still early now, don't be in a hurry to leave!" Since the little princess is not strong enough to drink, please go to the backyard guest room to rest, right? ”
Ning Qi shook his head and said, "No need, anyway, His Royal Highness King Zhao's palace is not far away, and it will be there soon, and this king will leave." ”
"The little prince is really too outward, I can't hide it, there is another extremely important thing for the lower officials, and I would like to ask the little prince to take a moment."
Ning Qi looked down at Luo Yunshuang, who knew that this was probably the highlight of the night. He said he was all right, and sat down again.
Prime Minister Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said to the people around him, "Go quickly, don't let the little prince and the little princess wait for a long time." ”
The next person left according to his words, and Prime Minister Jiang tried his best to persuade Ning Qi to drink, and Ning Qi also drank two glasses symbolically, and suddenly saw Ning Yin, who had not shown up, holding Concubine Jiang side.
Luo Yunshuang looked at their mother and son with some doubts, this Concubine Jiang was extremely angry, Prime Minister Jiang deliberately showed favor to Ning Qi for what purpose, she could understand, but if Concubine Jiang also lowered her posture...... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, right?
There is also Ning Yin, obviously and Ning Qi are brothers, and in the past so many years, he thinks that he has always been in a more important position, and Ning Qi is just a poor person who can't tell when he will die. But now, if you want him to admit that he is inferior to Ning Qi, it is not easy to think about it.
However, Prime Minister Jiang asked them to come out, and he would never let Ning Qi and Luo Yunshuang see the faces of their mother and son.
came over, and saw the ugly faces of Concubine Jiang and Ning Yin, Prime Minister Jiang suddenly lowered his face and shouted, "What are you still standing for?" Come and apologize to the little prince! Something that doesn't make it, look what you've done! ”
Concubine Jiang's face was even more ugly, and it looked like she was about to turn around and leave, but Ning Yin beside her gently pulled her sleeve, Concubine Jiang took a deep breath, squeezed out a little smile, took the tea handed over by the maid, and walked to Ning Qi's side, "Little Wangye, I was not good at things before, it was because I was ignorant, so I made so many things, and the house was restless, and let outsiders see the jokes, and now I have also been retributed, knowing that I have done wrong, I am determined to change my ways, Please also ask the little prince and the little princess to ignore the villain, forgive me, our family will be harmonious in the future, okay? ”
That's right, Concubine Jiang hated Luo Yunshuang and Ning Qi to the bone, and now that she was burned and revenged, and all the money and property have not been recovered, how could she be willing to take the initiative to reconcile with Ning Qi and Luo Yunshuang?
But she had no other choice at all, her father wanted to reconcile with Ning Qi for the sake of the entire Jiang family, and in order to express his sincerity, he had to let her also come forward to admit her mistakes to Ning Qi!
