Ning Xi frowned and said helplessly, "Since my father has made up his mind, why bother to say more, just marry my daughter." ”

With that, she got up and left, leaving Ning Lie with a lonely back.

When Ning Lie saw her like this, his deceased wife's desperate gaze always flashed in his mind, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.

Since the marriage between the Ning family and Qin Yuan's side, Ning Xi has become more free to enter and leave the county king's mansion.

The little sister whom the original owner met in Chang'an City just invited her to go shopping, and she thought that there was nothing else to do on weekdays so she was invited, and as for the hard work of embroidering the wedding dress herself, of course, it was handed over to the embroiderer.

As soon as she got off the carriage in front of the Treasure Xuan, she saw Du Xiyao, the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu, coming over.

"Pingyang, you are here, it is really difficult to ask you to go with you." Du Xiyao pursed her mouth.

Ning Xi smiled, "This is not coming, can I choose a hairpin to give you as an apology later?" ”

"That's pretty much it."

The two entered the Jumbo Xuan, and the jewels suddenly hit, and the two went to the ready-to-wear shop next door to choose clothes.

After a meal, I finally went to the restaurant box to chat and eat.

"Pingyang, you're about to get married, and it's even harder to see you in the future."

Ning Xi put down his chopsticks when he heard Du Xiyao's words, "What? ”

Her marriage to Qin Yuan is still a secret.

Didn't Ning Bairong pass it on?

Du Xiyao quipped, "Why are you so surprised, are you shy?" ”

"I heard that your marriage with the Fourth Highness will be announced at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, as soon as I hear this, I will immediately ask you out, so that you don't have to work hard to see you when you enter the palace."

The smile on Ning Xi's face gradually froze.

"Xi Yao, who are you listening to?"

Only then did Du Xiyao realize that something was wrong, "Pingyang, you shouldn't know about such a big thing, right?" ”

"No, isn't marrying the Fourth Highness what you've always wanted? I remember you always liked him when you were a kid. ”

"Why do you look unhappy now?"

Ning Xi raised his forehead, "There is still a period of time before the Queen Mother's birthday, and I really don't know about it." ”

Du Xiyao thought for a while and said, "Yesterday, my mother went to say hello to the queen, and I heard what the queen mentioned, but I didn't expect you to know." ”

"By the way, what is the matter between you and the Fourth Highness? I heard that you made a fuss on the Shangsi Festival because of a palace maid surnamed Guo. ”

"Is this true?"

Ning Xi supported his chin with one hand, "Well, so I figured it out, the Fourth Highness is not a good couple." ”

Du Xiyao covered her mouth when she heard this, "Won't it?" That's just a palace maid."

Ning Xi laughed, "If you marry the Fourth Highness, you may have to be jealous with a palace maid in the future." ”

"I'm the lord of the county, and I don't allow myself to be so humble."

Du Xiyao nodded, if she faced this kind of thing, she would go crazy, but Pingyang had a good relationship with His Royal Highness since he was a child, but he didn't expect it to become what he is today. Alas.

On the way back to the county king's mansion, Ning Xi thought about it, and decided to let someone pass a message to Qin Yuan, this was not her business alone.

The queen sent such a signal through the Du family, presumably wanting to urge marriage.

If it weren't for the emperor and the queen mother, the queen would have issued an edict early on, allowing her to marry Qin Rui.

The emperor intended to belong to the eldest prince, and if Qin Rui was involved with the county lord of Pingyang, it would be extremely unfavorable for the eldest prince.

And the queen mother, who was blinded by the halo of the heroine, actually wanted the palace maid to be the princess.

The three parties were involved, which also bought Ning Xi and Qin Yuan a lot of time.

What's difficult is that the queen is obviously threatening her, could it be that the queen has found out about her and Qin Yuan?

"Tongzi, you can help me find out what the situation is on the queen's side."

[Host, I've been testing, I'll help you turn up the light screen now.] ]

The first thing that came out of the light screen was Qin Rui's figure, he was walking into Weiyang Palace, his face was a little ugly.

It wasn't until he saw Empress Chen that he adjusted his facial expression.

"Queen Mother, do you want to mention the marriage between Erchen and Pingyang on the day of the emperor's grandmother's birthday?"

"That's right."

"Wouldn't it be too rushed?"

Empress Chen's face was stern, "Too anxious? You don't want to think about what you've been up to lately! actually stimulated Pingyang for the sake of a palace maid, even if Pingyang was arrogant, he would not have the idea of resigning from this family business before, but how did I hear that she had other thoughts? ”

Qin Rui's mind flashed what Ning Xi said, and she said that she had no feelings for herself anymore.

Now facing the queen's questioning, a burst of weakness came up.

Empress Chen saw that he was silent, so she slowed down her tone.

"Although Pingyang has liked you since he was a child, this time it was a bit of a big trouble, so the palace decided to mention your marriage on the birthday of the Queen Mother in a month, so as to stabilize Pingyang."

"In the next period of time, you go to Pingyang to play, otherwise the palace will have to find Guo Zhi's little palace maid to come and talk."

"Queen Mother. Don't be embarrassed Zhi'er, your son listens to you. Qin Rui left a little distracted.

……

Ning Xi learned about Qin Rui's mother and son's plan from Tongzi, and the next day he received a batch of expensive clothes and jewelry sent by Qin Rui.

Ning Xi glanced at it, Qin Rui is really thick-skinned, so they will break up.

Moreover, when she is a poor ghost who can't afford clothes and jewelry, does she think that with this little favor she can coax her to turn around him?

"Come on, send these things back untouched." Ning Xi waved his hand.

It just so happened that Ning Bairong came over to see this scene and looked at her with a ghostly expression.

"Are you sure you want to return the gift of the Fourth Highness?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Ning Xi raised her chin at him.

Ning Bairong has not been doing well recently, he was caught by the Liang family all day to see the official lady, and he couldn't go out of the house to find Guo Zhi.

This will not have the energy to quarrel with Ning Xi again.

Ning Xi was very satisfied with Ning Bairong's gray and running away, this kind of person would be cured, otherwise he would be as annoyed as a fly.

After rejecting Qin Rui's gift, she was half lying on the rattan chair in the courtyard and was a little uneasy.

There was no news from Qin Yuan's side yet, and he didn't know how he planned to solve it.

At the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, once the news about her marriage to Qin Rui came out, it would definitely not be long before it spread all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.

And she will also fall into a passive situation.

How could she be led by the nose by the people on Qin Rui's side!

What if she finds an excuse not to attend the Queen Mother's birthday?

But it's not a good idea.

She can't be absent because of reason.

Due to the power on the queen's side, her marriage with Qin Yuan cannot be announced for the time being until it is fully planned

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so troublesome.

……

Within three days of the retreat turmoil, Ning Xi received the news of Qin Rui's visit.

When he arrived at the banquet hall of the county king's mansion, Qin Rui's eyes fell.

"Pingyang, you look good."

……
