Chapter 316: Birthday Banquet

And Su Qinglan, who had been smiling beside the old princess, saw this scene, but the smile on her face gradually disappeared. The old princess has reached an agreement with her grandfather to help herself. But for the sake of her own interests, her aunt planned to split with the Jiang family, and she had already begun to obstruct the matter between herself and Ning Xiaowangye, obviously making up her mind to oppose her.

The old princess also knows this, but why is she still so affectionate to her aunt! The two of them talked and laughed like this, but it didn't look like they were pretending at all, and besides, there was no one else in the house now, so there was no need to pretend at all. Could it be...... The old princess still supports her aunt in her heart?

How can this work? Not to mention how the Jiang family plans, she Su Qinglan has now fallen in love with Ning Qi, and she wants to marry Ning Qi as a side concubine no matter what, if the old princess supports her, it will be easier for her to fulfill this wish. But if the old princess supported Ning Yin, wouldn't she be isolated in Ning Wang's Mansion?

No, she must not let such a thing happen! For the people of Ning Wangfu, she was originally an outsider, and if she lost the help of the old princess, then she would have no chance of winning at all.

But...... What can be done to drive a wedge between the old princess and her aunt?

Su Qinglan was frowning and thinking secretly, and she didn't come up with any good ideas for a long time. Suddenly, I heard Concubine Jiang say to the old princess, "Auntie, today is your 80th birthday, I'll go and cook you a bowl of longevity noodles later!" I remember the year I first married in Ning Wangfu, on my birthday, you cooked me a bowl of longevity noodles, and I still remember it vividly! Although I have eaten countless delicacies from the mountains and seas over the years, I think about it, the bowl of longevity noodles cooked by my aunt is still delicious. ”

Longevity noodles?

Su Qinglan's heart moved, this is a good opportunity......

Concubine Jiang said sincerely, and the old princess couldn't help but be a little moved when she heard it, and said with some nostalgia, "Yes, so many years have passed in a flash, not to mention that Yin'er is so old, I have become an old woman, half of my body is in the ground, and I don't have a few days to live." ”

Su Qinglan hurriedly said with a look of disgust, "Auntie, what are you talking about on the big day!" Your body is so strong, you can definitely live a long life! ”

"Yes, Grandma, don't say such things, you see your face is so ruddy, even Qinglan can't compare to you!" Su Qinglan said with a smile, "I didn't expect my aunt to make longevity noodles, I heard my grandfather say that my aunt has never been in the kitchen at home, it seems that my aunt is even better to my aunt than my grandfather!" ”

"That's it." The old princess laughed. "I get along with your aunt all the time, we have been together for so many years, and our relationship is naturally deep, where can your grandfather compare?"

Seeing that the time was not early, Concubine Jiang got up and said, "Qinglan, you accompany your aunt and grandmother to talk for a while." I'll go to the kitchen and make longevity noodles for your aunt and grandmother to eat, and then use the wine and food later, so that it won't hurt your body. ”

Su Qinglan lowered her eyes and smiled gently, "Auntie, don't worry, I will accompany my aunt!" ”

After Concubine Jiang left, several more female members of the official family came to greet the old princess, and Su Qinglan accompanied her and talked for a while. Estimating that the time was almost up, he said, "Grandma, why don't I go to the kitchen to see if my aunt needs help!" I also took this opportunity to learn more from my aunt, and when I learned it, I could serve you in the future. ”

"Yo, this is Miss Su from the Prime Minister's Mansion! What a fairy-like character! Sitting with the old princess were several ladies who were destined to pay attention to Su Qinglan at this time, and they praised again and again.

"Yes! I don't feel very well these days, so this boy came to stay with me for a while. The old princess said gently and kindly.

"It's really a piece of filial piety." A certain lady looked at Su Qinglan for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and smiled at the old princess, "After all, it's a young child, let's let her go out to play with her sisters, why bother detaining her here and listening to us say something boring!" ”

When the old princess saw that the lady seemed to have other intentions, she nodded and said, "Then you can go!" Look at what the little princess can't get busy with, and you can take a hand. ”

The old princess's words meant to let Su Qinglan seize this opportunity to familiarize herself with the internal affairs of King Ning's mansion. Of course, the more important thing is to get close to Luo Yunshuang, if you can use this to talk to Ning Qi again, it would be better.

However, Su Qinglan had something in her heart, and she didn't understand what he meant at all.

With a respectful face, he saluted, and as soon as he walked out of the hall of Fu'an Yuan, he found a secluded place and found his personal maid Qingqing.

Seeing that there was no one left and right, Su Qinglan lowered her voice and said. "Qingqing, you go to the small kitchen, just listen at the door, how is the longevity noodles of the side concubine?"

In fact, Su Qinglan was also a little anxious in her heart, although she had a general idea, she wanted to borrow Concubine Jiang to make longevity noodles for the old princess, but she still hadn't figured out how to do it. A bowl of longevity noodles won't take long, and Concubine Jiang will be ready soon, but she hasn't come up with an idea yet, what can she do!

Although Qingqing didn't know what Su Qinglan was going to do, she glanced at her suspiciously. But I still answered.

Su Qinglan was waiting in place, and happened to meet Chu Chu sent by Luo Yunshuang in front, saying that the guests had arrived, and the time had come, so she invited the old princess to the front and prepare for the banquet.

Not long after Chu Chu entered the hall to report, he heard the voices of the old princess and several ladies laughing closer and closer, and after a while, they arrived at the door.

Su Qinglan hurriedly pretended to be like she had just come up, and said to the old princess, "Grandma, are you going to the banquet?" But my aunt's longevity noodles haven't been made yet! ”

The old princess smiled indifferently, "Don't worry, Qinglan, you go and tell your aunt and let her directly bring the prepared longevity noodles to the banquet, you can't let me, an old woman, let the guests wait in order to eat a bowl of longevity noodles, right?" Ouch, that's out, and not all the capital knows that I'm greedy! ”

Several ladies couldn't help but laugh at the old princess's joking words, and Su Qinglan said obediently, "Yes, Qinglan will go and tell her aunt." ”

Su Qinglan went to the kitchen in person and told Concubine Jiang what the old princess meant. Then he returned to Fu'an Yuan, made a pot of Biluochun, the old princess's favorite drink, and sent it to the feast.

"Grandma, this is your favorite tea. The dishes on this table are greasy, and drinking a few sips of tea can slow down and make the stomach more comfortable. ”

Su Qinglan's concerned actions fell on a few nearby people, and in the eyes of Mrs. Xuan, she couldn't help but attract a voice of praise.

"Look, look, it's really worthy of Miss, the Prime Minister's Mansion. This delicate thought, where can others think of it. In the future, if anyone marries Miss Su, it will be really blessed! ”

With a polite and proud smile on her face, the old princess said to the lady sitting beside him, "Qinglan, this child, is careful!" This filial piety also really touched me. ”

"Grandma, don't say that. This is what Qinglan should do! ”

Su Qinglan blushed from being praised by everyone, lowered her head embarrassedly, and looked like a little daughter.

"Alright, alright." The lady smiled, "Don't tease Miss Su, look, it's embarrassing for the girl." ”

The old princess smiled and said, "Qinglan, you have been busy for most of the day, don't be busy, someone is in charge of these things." Go sit down and rest! ”

Su Qinglan shook her head and said gently, "I'm not going to the banquet, just put a few next to you." The Imperial Doctor just said a few days ago that you won't be allowed to eat too greasy things, so many fish and meat are in front of you, I don't worry, I have to look at you! ”

When the old princess just returned home, the emperor specially sent a doctor to check her pulse, originally to see what was wrong with her life in the family temple and whether there was anything wrong with her body. But what she didn't expect was that the old princess was not only not malnourished, but ate too much fish and meat, her digestion was a little bad, and her whole body was a little fat, so the doctor advised her not to eat more greasy things.

"Look at this girl, she still cares about me!" Although the old princess was disgusted, the expression on her face was very satisfied. Obviously, Su Qinglan's concerned attitude pleased her.

"There's no need to ask someone to set a table. Come, you can share a table with me! The old princess patted her side and motioned for Su Qinglan to sit down.

Su Qinglan excused herself, but the old princess insisted on letting her sit down, so she did the same, and diligently poured tea and cloth dishes for the old princess, and she didn't care about eating a few bites.

"Little princess, look at that Su Qinglan, how can she be so diligent, even if you want to slap the old princess, it won't be like this, right?"

Luo Yunshuang was busy with her feet not touching the ground, and she didn't bother to sit down at this point, and was standing with Pian Pian to talk, when Pian Pian suddenly pulled his sleeve and motioned her to see Su Qinglan sitting next to the old princess.

Luo Yunshuang followed his gaze for a while, then sneered, "Nothing to be courteous is either a traitor or a thief, although Su Qinglan used to be respectful to the old princess, she didn't do it. There must be other reasons for her change in attitude, telling Ning An and making people stare at him. See what exactly she's going to do. ”

Pian Pian answered, Luo Yunshuang continued to stare at Su Qinglan, and said secretly in her heart, Su Qinglan, I hope you don't have no brains, if you dare to do something that shouldn't be done at my banquet, then don't blame me Luo Yunshuang is welcome!

Not long after the banquet began, Concubine Jiang personally held a bowl of longevity noodles and brought it to the old princess, and said with a smile, "Auntie, today is your big day, please try your nephew's craftsmanship!" ”
