She got up and replied with a smile on her face: "It's the little girl, I hope the princess will forgive her sins when she is late for the banquet." ”

The attitude is respectful, and I can't fault anything.

Yuan Ruge snorted coldly, held his head high, and stared at Yue Qingning: "Isn't it that the sister of His Royal Highness the Wild King doesn't look down on me, a princess of another country, so she is so neglectful?" ”

The Queen Mother looked at Yue Qingning, she knew that Yue Qingning was originally reluctant to come to this banquet, and she had sent someone to "invite" her, now it depends on how she will explain.

"It's the princess's birthday recently, and the courtiers are afraid that they won't be prepared properly and can't express their respect for the princess, so they have prepared more meetings in the house, which is delayed."

Yue Qingning's answer can be called the best answer, she was late because she had been preparing for too long, which could show her respect and conform to her identity.

After all, everyone thinks that she is from the countryside, and she will definitely be nervous when she comes to the big scene.

The queen listened on the sidelines, smiled and nodded, and had a good impression of Yue Qingning in her heart.

"Oh? In that case, I'd like to see what good birthday gift you gave to this princess? Yuan Ruge held Yue Qingning and insisted on finding fault with her today.

Chu Powan watched the excitement from the sidelines, and was happy in her heart, it seemed that she didn't need to do it herself today.

Yue Qingning walked out of her seat, and Bihuan, who followed behind her, took out a small box. After she blessed her body, she opened the small box, and a pearl inside shone brightly.

"It's just a night pearl, there are so many of them in this princess, this is Miss Yue's sincerity?" Yuan Ruge stretched out his head to look at the bead, sneered, and glanced at Yue Qingning with disdain.

Yue Qingning only smiled and did not speak.

And the young lady next to Yue Qingning, who was closer to her, couldn't help but gasp when she saw the bead, secretly surprised.

"Bihuan, show this bead to Princess Ruge."

Bihuan stepped forward and handed the box to Yuan Ruge's maid, Yuan Ruge looked at it carefully, and there was a painting in the bead, as the light came in from different directions, the painting seemed to move, showing different postures.

Even the Queen Mother, who was accustomed to seeing rare treasures, saw it, and couldn't help but ask Yuan Ruge to go over and take a closer look.

Yuan Ruge was too far away just now, so he couldn't see the mystery, and now he only felt slapped in the face, and he didn't know what to say to make himself look better.

"This bead is when the wild king raised troops to the northern realm, the famous painter Zhuo Zhuoer of the northern country admired the majestic posture of the prince, and gave this pearl to the prince, the bead is painted on the side of the secret realm of the northern country, such as the princess of the song, am I right?"

Although Yue Qingning didn't plan to go to the banquet, there was no ambiguity in the number of etiquette, and asked a few maids to find a lot of good-looking jewelry, jewelry and other things, but they didn't know which one to give.

After Chu Hanye heard about it, he took out the bead from the warehouse, told him the origin of the bead, and asked Yue Qingning to send it.

The beads are good beads, but Yue Qingning felt that the northern kingdom had lost the battle back then, and now he bowed his head and became a minister, so he must not want others to mention the things of the year again.

Chu Hanye told him that he must tell the origin of the bead in public, and he didn't know why he did it.

I guess I'm still haunted by the poisoning in that battle.

Yuan Ruge's heart trembled, remembering the situation when Chu Hanye led the army into the northern country, and the place where the two armies clashed was on the edge of the secret realm.

Looking up at Yue Qingning again, her eyes were like water, they seemed to be clear, but they were deep and unknowing, but there was a little bit of Chu Hanye's shadow, and her sharpness when she first saw her was reduced a lot.

Yes, no matter how humble Yue Qingning's background is, now she is the sister of the first god of war in the Central Plains, and she can't do anything with her.

The Queen Mother saw through Yue Qingning's intention to bring this gift, and looked at her twice.

This girl should not be underestimated.

"Is it the work of Mr. Zhuo Zhuoer? Then I'll have to take a good look! A hearty male voice suddenly came from behind him, and Yue Qingning looked sideways slightly, it was Yuan Muxiu.

Just like the appearance of the first time I saw him, probably because of my sister's birthday, there was more joy on my face, holding a red coral glass lamp in my hand, the workmanship was exquisite and meticulous, it should be a gift to Yuan Ruge.

Yuan Ruge saw Yuan Muxiu as if he had seen a savior, called "brother" sweetly, trotted to Yuan Muxiu's side, took the coral glass lamp in his hand, and walked past Yue Qingning's side as if showing off.

Yue Qingning turned around and blessed Yuan Muxiu slightly, and returned to his position, intending to continue water skiing.

Yuan Muxiu picked up the bead and looked at it carefully, his eyes were deep and he couldn't see through his emotions.

Yuan Ruge snuggled up to him, saw that he was stunned, and called him softly: "Brother? What's wrong? ”

"The edge of Zhuo Zhuoer's secret realm is truly beautiful." As if muttering to himself and talking to Yuan Ruge, Yuan Muxiu took the bead into his arms and said to Yuan Ruge: "Ruge, can you give this bead to my brother, and my brother will buy you something better to make up for it." ”

Yuan Ruge nodded without the slightest hesitation, she didn't want what Yue Qing Ning had sent, let alone showing off.

"Sister Ruge, my brother is late, don't blame you!"

Yue Qingning's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and frowned unhappily.

She is too familiar with the owner of this voice, and it is the person she hates the most now-Nangong Ming.

Seeing that he can still run rampant in the capital, Liu Shangyun should not have reported him to the emperor. is so proud, he is really a rare scum in the world.

Yue Qing shrank his body and retreated as far back as he could, burying his head deeply, hoping that he would not see him.

Yuan Ruge happily beckoned to Nangong Ming, showing off the coral glass lamp in his hand: "Third Highness, look at this glass lamp, my brother bought it for me!" ”

It seems that the relationship between Nangong Ming and Yuan Ruge is very good.

Nangong Ming glanced at the people in the entire hall, and finally his eyes fell on Yue Qingning, who was buried in his head, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a playful smile.

"Then do you like the gift I gave you?" Nangong Ming's attendant held a large box in his hand and sent it to Yuan Ruge, who opened it and was overjoyed.

"Third Highness, this skirt you gave is also too beautiful!"

In the box, there is a lake-colored auspicious cloud wrapped in treasure flower brocade clothes, on which are pendant with colorful pearls and high-quality rice beads, which are dazzling and gorgeous.

If it weren't for his identity, Yuan Ruge would have taken the skirt and tried it now.

Seeing Yuan Ruge's playful appearance, the Queen Mother laughed heartily: "Ming'er still understands a woman's heart, Mu Xiu, you have to learn more from him!" ”

Nangong Ming sat next to the Queen Mother flatteringly, and handed the Queen Mother a box: "Imperial grandmother, the child was busy a few days ago, and I haven't come to see you for a long time. ”

The Queen Mother worships the Buddha on weekdays, and she loves these Buddhist things the most.

Yue Qingning secretly despised Nangong Ming's flattery in her heart, probably because she was too likable, so she could see that no one was reckless.

"Speaking of which, Ming'er is also old, it's time to talk about kissing!" The Queen Mother saw that Nangong Ming's body had lost a lot of weight, and she was distressed, thinking that Nangong Ming was a person who had no body around her, so she couldn't take care of herself.

The queen nodded and echoed the queen mother: "Yes, it was time to draft a girl a year ago, Ming'er kept saying that she was busy with political affairs, so she delayed it." "It's quite unpleasant in my heart, because the busy business during that time was to investigate the case of the prince's corruption and collusion with foreign thieves.

But how can the queen be so stingy, and she still has to pretend to be kind to him on her face.

"Does Ming'er have a favorite woman? If so, the emperor's grandmother will ask your father to marry you! ”

Nangong Ming obviously didn't have any interest in what they said about marriage, but when he saw Yue Qingning, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he suddenly got up and stood in front of the Queen Mother.

"Imperial grandmother, the child does have a favorite woman!"

Among the ladies here, there are many who like Nangong Ming and want to be the third princess, I heard that Nangong Ming already has a favorite woman, and they all pricked up their ears to listen, hoping to hear their names.

"It's the wild king's sister, Miss Yue!"

Yue Qingning didn't notice this, only concentrating on eating her own snacks, and suddenly felt a few burning eyes fall on her body, raised her head blankly, and saw several girls sitting opposite with dissatisfaction in their eyes, and felt strange in her heart.

Bihuan whispered behind him: "Girl, just now His Royal Highness said that he likes you!" ”

Yue Qingning's eyes widened in disbelief and looked at Nangong Ming, who was looking at himself with a "look" on his face, stretching out a hand, as if he was waiting for the bride's groom at the end of the red carpet.

She couldn't wait to throw the jujube cake in her hand on Nangong Ming's face, this person really wanted to play one out at a time, she was avoiding him everywhere, why was she still looking for trouble?

Coughing dryly, Yue Qingning had an embarrassed smile on his face, and looked flattered: "Your Highness makes fun of the courtiers, the courtiers and His Highness have only seen each other twice, how can He De let His Highness like the courtiers?" ”

The Queen Mother was also surprised, Nangong Ming had never been at odds with Chu Hanye, how could he like his sister?

However, Yue Qingning is so good-looking, it doesn't make sense.

Immediately beckoned, letting Yue Qingning come up.

Yue Qingning walked forward with an embarrassed smile, and when she passed by Nangong Ming, she gave Nangong Ming a fierce glance at an angle that only the two of them could see.

Nangong Ming smiled even more happily.

"Miss Yue looks so outstanding, no wonder Ming'er likes it." The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and stroked Yue Qingning's delicate jade-like hand "lovingly", and Nangong Ming immediately stood by Yue Qingning's side, letting the Queen Mother see how good the two of them were.

The happiest person in the audience was Chu Powan, originally she was worried that Yue Qingning was by Chu Hanye's side to seduce him, if the Queen Mother married Yue Qingning to Nangong Ming today, Chu Hanye would definitely not want her again.
