Chapter 315: The Old Princess's Birthday

Luo Yunshuang pouted, "Is my face stained with ink?" ”

After speaking, looking at Ning Qi's black fingers, she stuck out her tongue and changed the topic, "Ah, it's dark, I'm so hungry!" ”

Looking at the intimacy of these two people, Princess Ning said with a smile, "It's not early, it's rare that Qi'er is not busy today, you two can stay here to eat, I'll go see how the meal is prepared, and add a few more dishes that Qi'er likes to eat." ”

As soon as Princess Ning went out, Luo Yunshuang stretched out her arms with a smile and hooked Ning Qi's neck, and said, "Xianggong, I'm so tired." ”

"The concubine asked you just now, didn't you say that you weren't tired?" Ning Qi stopped her waist, lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers, and asked gently.

"In front of my mother, I can't complain like this!" Luo Yunshuang pouted.

"By the way, what are you and your mother busy with?" Ning Qi asked, as soon as he came in just now, he saw the two of them busy, and only then did he see that Luo Yunshuang seemed to be writing a menu, Ning Qi couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"It's not that the emperor is troubled, in a few days it will be the old princess's 80th birthday, and the emperor will make us lively. But I also thought about it, our Ning Wangfu should indeed be lively. Just take this opportunity! ”

"Tired?" Ning Qi said softly, "Do you need to give your husband a beating on your back?" ”

Luo Yunshuang shook her head, "No need, you are so busy, you must be tired." ”

"The lady is so considerate. Then when we're done eating, we'll go back to rest early. ”

The two stayed in Princess Ning's courtyard for dinner, and sent Yan Yan to Jin'an Yuan to say a word, telling Chu Chu that they didn't need to prepare dinner for her and Ning Qi.

While eating, Princess Ning suddenly said, "Qi'er, Shuang'er, you have been married for more than a year. In the past, Qi'er's health was not good, and the mother concubine did not urge you, but now that the time is ripe, should you two let the mother concubine hold her grandson earlier? ”

Luo Yunshuang's face turned red, she didn't expect Princess Ning to talk about this in person, she glanced at Ning Qi, and said with some embarrassment, "Mother, what are you talking about?" ”

"I'm sorry," Princess Ning said with a smile, "This is a very important matter, Shuang'er doesn't need to be shy." Actually, this is what I mentioned yesterday when I went to greet the old princess. said that Shuang'er had not moved after passing through the door for so long, was she not in good health, depending on what she meant, it seemed that she was planning to marry a side concubine for Qi'er like this. The concubine understands that she is paving the way for Su Qinglan of the Jiang family, but if you haven't moved, won't you leave her a handle? Besides, the mother concubine is really looking forward to holding her grandson as soon as possible! ”

Although the old princess's status in the palace is not as good as before, the things she did have long been unworthy of respect. But after all, the name is still there, Princess Ning still went to greet her every day, and the two didn't have anything to say, just sat down and came back. But she didn't want the old princess to mention this matter today, Princess Ning felt the need to talk to Ning Qi and Luo Yunshuang, so that the two of them could make plans early.

Luo Yunshuang thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, mother, now that the people of their Jiang family are in a mess, they don't have time to come to me for trouble!" ”

Princess Ning said in surprise, "What do you mean by this?" ”

But as soon as the words fell, she remembered Su Qinglan, who lived in Ning Wang's Mansion, this woman didn't stick to Ning Yin all day long like before, but seemed to be a little interesting to Qi'er. Is it because of her?

Luo Yunshuang explained, "My mother didn't know anything, because Prime Minister Jiang Cheng knew the identity of the Xianggong and knew that he couldn't fight, so he planned to let Su Qinglan marry the Xianggong and reconcile the two families through marriage." But Concubine Jiang didn't think so, her wish has always been very clear to us, I want Ning Yin to take the position of Xianggong, and she herself can become Princess Ning. That Su Qinglan herself was also moved by Xianggong. Therefore, there was a contradiction between Concubine Jiang and Su Qinglan. The two of their aunts and nephews have already been matched, and Concubine Jiang woke up in order to stimulate her, and sent two maids to Jin'an Yuan a few days ago, saying that they were concubines for Xianggong. After Su Qinglan found out, she was afraid that she had already gone to the old princess to think about it. Even if the old princess threatens me to say that I don't have children, now that the prime minister has two concubines, there is no need to marry another one. This road, she didn't pave it for Su Qinglan. ”

Princess Ning nodded, "In this way, the two of them won't trouble you for the time being, so you can have a better time these days." ”

Ruoyunshuang nodded.

Ning Qi suddenly spoke, "Don't worry, concubine, the two of us will definitely work hard to let you hold your grandson as soon as possible." ”

Luo Yunshuang originally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this topic had passed, but she didn't expect Ning Qi to say this again, she suddenly glared at Ning Qi a little shyly, and said coquettishly, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it." Seeing that Luo Yunshuang was really shy, Princess Ning smiled and said, "The two of you have a number in your hearts, and this matter is not in a hurry." ”

After dinner, the two returned to Jin'an Yuan hand in hand, the night breeze in summer was very cool, and the two walked all the way, but it was also very comfortable.

Xu is weather was too hot, and when he returned to Jin'an Garden, Luo Yunshuang joked with the maids for a while, and then felt a little sleepy. So after taking a bath, she was ready to rest, Ning Qi was originally reading, and when she saw that Luo Yunshuang was ready to sleep, she couldn't help but come over and lie down beside her.

Long Yunshuang rubbed her eyes and said, "Xianggong, do you want to sleep with me?" Not busy today? ”

"Busy is still busy, but now there are more important things to do for my husband." Ning Qi looked at Luo Yunshuang's cheeks that were flushed from bathing, and couldn't help but love it very much, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch it.

Luo Yunshuang was pulled by him, and her speech was a little vague, "What's the important thing?" ”

Ning Qi smiled a little slyly, stretched out his hand and pulled the thin brocade quilt, covered him and Luo Yunshuang under the quilt, and said vaguely while bowing his head and kissing him, "Did the lady forget what the concubine said when she was eating?" It's really a bad memory......"

A few days passed in a hurry, and this was the old princess's 80th birthday. Early in the morning, while the guests had not yet come, the people in King Ning's mansion went to greet her first.

Princess Ning naturally arrived early, and the old princess was also dressed very festively, after all, it was her big day, and her face was not bad, and she was sitting on the soft couch talking to Princess Ning.

Su Qinglan naturally accompanied the old princess, she wore a water-red dress today, the makeup on her face was youthful and beautiful, her long hair was like a dark cloud, and she was curling Nana when she moved, which made people's eyes shine.

Not long after Princess Ning sat down, Concubine Jiang arrived, although she has now had some estrangement with the old princess, but when there are people, both sides are still affectionate. Concubine Jiang bowed, then sat down on the other side opposite Princess Ning, and accompanied the old princess to gossip.

The matter of receiving guests, Princess Ning has already handed over full authority to Luo Yunshuang. Anyway, the seats of the guests are arranged in advance, and after the guests come, as long as they say a few words of greeting, the important people will bring them over to the old princess to see a salute, and then they will go to their seats and sit down, waiting for the banquet to begin.

In the past, no one from the Tang family would come to participate in any banquet held in Ning Wangfu, but now, since Princess Ning has resolved the contradiction with the Tang family, she has naturally become a member of the Tang family. The people who came to the Tang family this time were the daughter-in-law of Zhenguo Gong - the wife of General Tang and his own children, Tang Yufeng and Tang Zining.

Since he is from his grandfather's family, Luo Yunshuang naturally paid tribute to him, and after seeing you with the general's wife, he asked him to talk to Princess Ning. And Tang Yufeng, as a man, naturally sat down with a group of male guests in the front yard.

Luo Yunshuang saw the opportunity to greet Tang Zining and asked her to come over to find her later, she also had to ask Tang Zining what she thought about Jiang Yushu!

"Mother, you're here!" Seeing the people coming in at the door, Luo Yunshuang's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly ran up, talking and laughing happily.

The person who came was Helian Qingshuang, the wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and Luo Yunshuang's active actions immediately attracted the attention of many people. Mrs. Helian touched her daughter's hair fondly, and said angrily, "Why is such a big person still like a child, and everyone else is looking at you, so it's better to be more steady." ”

"I see my mother happy! Who cares about them! Luo Yunshuang shook her head indifferently and said to Mrs. Helian, "Ning Qi is probably greeting the male guests at this time, and I will ask him to come and greet you in a while." ”

"Don't worry, it's all your own family, you don't have to care too much about those false courtesies." Mrs. Helian said, "Where is the old princess?" Since you're here to celebrate your birthday, take me to meet your birthday first! ”

Luo Yunshuang nodded and said, "Mother, this is what the old princess said that she doesn't like to hear, you don't have to save face for her, although on an occasion like today, she shouldn't make any ugly things, but there is no guarantee." Anyway, she is such a person, you don't have to take her to heart. ”

Mrs. Helian knew that her daughter's life in King Ning's Mansion was hard, so she couldn't help touching her face again, nodded and said, "Mother knows, you don't have to worry." ”

Luo Yunshuang led Mrs. Helian to meet the old princess, and sure enough, in front of many people, the old princess's attitude was very decent, and she didn't have the arrogant appearance of facing Luo Yunshuang herself. Then Princess Ning invited Mrs. Helian to her room to speak.

Because since Ning Qi's health has recovered, Luo Yunshuang and his wife have become in the limelight in the entire capital, and many officials and eunuchs have gone to stammer Luo Yunshuang, naturally leaving the Jiang family and others behind. So after giving the old princess a salute, everyone also went to talk around Luo Yunshuang, and for a while, only herself, Concubine Jiang and Su Qinglan were left in the old princess's room.

After all, it is the old princess's eightieth birthday, although there are some differences between Concubine Jiang and the old princess, but after all, she is still happy for her, so she put aside the past grievances and talked affectionately with the old princess.
