Chapter 213: Bright Phoenix (Second Watch)
Chunhui Hall.
Mrs. Han sat on the low couch and twisted the Buddha beads, her eyes were half-closed, and her spirit was not very good.
Han Youning's spirit was even worse, and after inviting An, he sat next to Han Qingwan and was silent.
Old Madam Han raised her eyes and looked at her, "I heard that it was quite late yesterday, and King Jin went to your courtyard. Now that you're in a relationship with the Chung Kook Mansion, it's better to avoid things like this."
Han Youning said coldly, "Since the old lady thinks it's not good, she should have gone to Jinhetang yesterday to stop King Jin, why did she tell me this now." King Jin Tianhuang is noble, and he is here to give a congratulatory gift, can I drive him away? Besides, the old lady took it and said something, so she was too anxious!"
Old Madam Han was full of anger when she saw her being so mean, but her heart was happy.
If she is not salty or light, it should be worrying.
The old lady said lightly, "After all, this family affair is the result of your design for me, and you should do it yourself, and you can't complain about others. The prince will be the lord of the Guogong Mansion in the future, and he will have a sister of the granddaughter of the Queen Mother's mother-in-law, and his identity is also extremely valuable. You only have a share of happiness when you marry, and it is a good family affair to talk about."
Han Youning sneered, "Since this family affair is very good, how about the old lady let the second sister marry her?" The second sister is both talented and beautiful, and she has a good reputation in the capital, so she must be happy with the Zhongguo Mansion."
Han Qingwan sat aside and drank tea, looking pleasant.
Han Youning will no longer be a phoenix in the future, so isn't this phoenix still her Han Qingwan?
Now the more anxious and angry she is, the better.
"Eldest sister is saying these things now, if you want to be a good person to gain a good reputation, and if you want to trample your grandmother's reputation under your feet, you should pay some price. Now that you have taken all the benefits, and you have come to hold grievances again, it will inevitably be looked down upon."
Han Youning sneered, "Second sister seems to be in a good mood, do you think I'm going to get married? Don't be too happy, King Jin hasn't agreed yet, he went to the Zhongguo Mansion to go around, can the Zhongguo Gong not give him face?"
Han Qingwan said leisurely, "No matter how noble the King of Jin is, there are also the emperor and the queen mother on it. The county lord of Nanzhang is the queen mother's baby bump, which one do you say?"
Han Youning Huo Ran got up, "Then wait and see!"
Mother Zheng hesitated for a moment, walked up to Han Youning, knelt down and kowtowed, "Old slave Xie Eldest Miss for saving her life."
Han Youning said coldly, "Thanks to Mother Zheng's blessing, I'm afraid I'm going to become a joke in the whole capital now."
With that, she put on her cloak and went out of the upper room.
Seeing this, Han Qinglian also left behind Han Youning.
The steward who was waiting outside the room saw that Han Youning was gone, entered the upper room, and reported the situation outside.
"The servant has been guarding outside the Zhongguo Mansion, and he is also familiar with the porter and steward in the mansion. Yesterday, the crown prince and the prince went to the Zhongguo Mansion, but the Zhongguo Duke left Beijing, and they were also powerful and had nowhere to go. After King Jin left the Dingguo Mansion last night, he also went to the Zhongguo Mansion, and also met the prince of Zhongguo, but he also returned in vain."
He said with a smile, "Early this morning, the county lord of Nanzhang asked the Ministry of Industry to find a craftsman and cleaned up the courtyard for the prince with great fanfare. It seems that this family affair is not far away, and the old lady has to start preparing the dowry for the eldest lady."
When Mrs. Han heard this, her face was a little happy.
Han Youning's last reliance was on King Jin, and now King Jin can't do anything, but there are no more variables on the side.
No matter what the cost, this plague god is finally going to be sent away.
As long as Wan'er is still a phoenix and a future princess, then what are the twists and turns she has experienced now.
She bowed her head and said, "As long as the county lord of Nanzhang doesn't let go of this family matter, no one else can be the master. That Zhongguo Gong left Beijing, I am afraid that he is avoiding these intercession people, and he is also smart. Time drags on for a long time, and this family affair will be accomplished."
The steward smiled, "That's what the old lady said. The slave took people to the street yesterday for a turn, and the news that our two governments were going to marry had spread in the streets and alleys. Everyone knows the benefits of this marriage to the eldest lady, and they must all say yes."
Old Mrs. Han is full
Yi nodded.
Once the news spreads, this family affair is even more certain.
That son is also half of the grandson of the Queen Mother, if she is disliked and withdraws, where will the Queen Mother's face go?
Mother Zheng stood behind Mrs. Han and clasped her hands tightly.
After the steward retreated, Old Madam Han said to Mother Zheng, "You have been serving here for a long time, so please step down first."
Mother Zheng's expression was gloomy, "The old slave has retired."
The old lady really didn't dare to trust her anymore.
Even if she didn't go to Jinhetang for the past two days, and didn't meet the eldest lady in private, she couldn't dispel the old lady's suspicion of her.
And the daughter Jade, the eldest lady refused to take her when she came out, but replaced it with agate.
Han Qingwan saw that Mother Zheng was gone, and the door was closed, so she sat down next to Old Madam Han and said in a low voice, "Grandmother, could it be that Han Youning has set up some obstacle to make things bad in secret?"
Old Madam Han patted her hand soothingly, "You think too much, how can the county lord of Nanzhang be a person who is willing to be manipulated by others? Who must be stripped of a layer of skin to the end of those who have offended her?"
Han Qingwan thought back to her dealings with the county lord of Nanzhang over the years, and she also thought so.
It may be that she has lost the upper hand in several fights with Han Youning, which makes her have a psychological shadow, right? I always feel unsure.
The maid came in and reported, "Old lady, the third prince asks to see you. Now he is in the council hall of the outer court, accompanied by the second son."
"yes, got it."
Old Madam Han looked at her granddaughter with a smile, "I just came here yesterday, and I came here again today. Guess what, why the third prince is so attentive?"
Han Qingwan blushed and whispered, "How do I know."
Yesterday, there were many people, although she didn't say a few words to the third prince, but when she was on the lotus pond, the eyes of the third prince never left her.
She felt it.
Old Madam Han laughed, "Everyone's eyes are bright. Han Youning is getting married, who is the real phoenix? He's afraid that the prince will come and fight him!"
Han Qingwan got up and stretched out her hand to help the old lady to stay.
The old lady waved her hand, "No hurry. Let him wait a little longer before you seem to be precious."
She looked Han Qingwan up and down, and instructed the maid Green Lotus, "You go and pick out more valuable heads."
He also instructed Onyx, "You go back to Hanlian Courtyard and bring the silk dress with a big red butterfly wearing flowers and change it for the young lady."
The maids responded, and they were all busy.
Some helped Han Qingwan redress her makeup, some helped her match her head and face, and took a bottle of rose fragrance that the old lady had been reluctant to use, and mixed it with water for Han Qingwan to wash her face and hands. It smells very good on the body.
After cleaning up, Han Qingwan was bright and moving in red, and the fragrance on her body was even more exciting.
