Chapter Eighty-Five: The Banquet of the Dingguo Mansion
Si Qiming looked at Si Ning's thoughtful appearance and asked, "What do you think?"
"Huh? Nothing." Si Ning decided to go to Si Yunlan tomorrow and ask him about the Huns.
But the plan can't catch up with the change, King Ning went suddenly last night, in fact, it is not sudden, King Ning is old, and his health has never been good, especially in the spring, he had a serious illness, I thought I could get through it, but I didn't expect it to drag on for a few months.
Si Ning changed into plain clothes and followed Chu Qionghua to Ning Wangfu to mourn.
The palace was plain white, there was a white silk lantern hanging in front of the mourning hall, and a coffin was placed inside, Princess Ning's eyes were red, her face was stained with tears, and she cried uncontrollably several times.
The prince of King Ning and the princess of the world were also dressed in plain clothes, kneeling in the mourning hall with pale faces.
In the spacious front hall of King Ning's Mansion, there were already many guests who came to mourn, and Si Ning followed Chu Qionghua with three incense sticks before leaving.
After leaving, Si Ning was naturally not good at going to other places in plain clothes, so she went home, yesterday she wanted to go to Si Yunlan to ask for a clear understanding, but today she suddenly felt that there was nothing to ask.
Even if the Yellow River burst in the previous life had something to do with the Xiongnu, the previous life was irrevocable, but this life was still in her hands.
Now that the criminal plans of the Xiongnu have been exposed, the emperor's uncle must have been alert, and the plan for the future is to expose Hu Bisheng's true face as soon as possible.
She had to think about it, what the hell was she going to do? It can not make people suspicious, but also not involve yourself.
Si Yunlan came back, so he thought that Li Su was also back, he still had the note he wrote last time in his hand, with his character, maybe he was already eyeing him now, if he acted and let him grasp something, it would not be good, after all, she couldn't explain all this.
After returning home, Si Ning locked himself in the study for a whole day, but he still didn't come up with any way.
Si Ning lay on the table weakly, why is it so difficult!
"County Lord, Second Miss is here." The sound of dew was heard outside the door.
"Come in, please." Si Ning was a little surprised on his face, didn't they just see each other three days ago? Is something wrong?
"I heard from Dew that you've been locked up in your study for a day, what's wrong? Fall in love with learning?" Si Yunting quipped.
"Just laugh at me." Si Ning glanced at her, "Why did you come to me at this hour, is there something wrong?"
It was already dark outside, and if it wasn't for something important, she wouldn't have come at this time.
"Something's true." Si Yunting sighed and said, "The Dingguo Mansion is going to hold a banquet tomorrow, invite me to go, you also know, the matter between me and Cao Junjie."
Now that I and Cao Junjie have done it in private, I didn't want to go, but I should have done it earlier, and now it's hard to talk back, so?"
Si Ning: "So? You want me to go with you?"
"You just go with me, the Dingguo Mansion will hold a banquet, there will definitely be a lot of people going tomorrow, look at you, since you came back from Yinchuan, you have been stuck in the mansion, and you are not afraid of holding back your illness." Si Yunting persuaded.
The matter between her and Cao Junjie was originally tacitly handled, but now it is also done in private, she originally didn't want to go to his family's banquet, but when the time comes, she will say that she is sick, so she won't bother.
But I didn't expect that in the afternoon, someone from the Dingguo Mansion would come to the door in person, saying that although the two families could not become in-laws, they should not be separated, and specially invited her to go tomorrow.
That's why she came to Si Ning at this hour.
"Okay, I agreed, but King Ning just passed away this morning, and the Dingguo Mansion will hold a banquet tomorrow, isn't it good." Si Ning glanced at her angrily.
"You promised." Si Yunting smiled, since the last kidnapping, she felt more and more reliable A-Ning.
"Hey, King Ning has never been favored, even when the first emperor was there, the mother of King Ning's mansion was originally a foot-washing maid who waited beside the Queen Mother, and while the Queen Mother was pregnant, she climbed onto the dragon bed, and then there was King Ning.
Therefore, King Ning's position in Beijing is very embarrassing and empty
There is a prince's name, and there is nothing beside it.
Now, how can Zhenglong, the holy family of the Dingguo Mansion, care about a prince who is rejected by His Majesty."
Si Ning really didn't know about this when she arrived, she only knew that the imperial uncle and grandmother didn't like King Ning, it turned out that it was because of this reason.
"But we have to be careful tomorrow, my aunt said that we must not have the intention of harming others, and we must not have the heart of guarding against others, saying that we should follow her closely when we go tomorrow, and not alone, so as not to make any mistakes." Si Yunting said seriously.
"Okay, then tomorrow we will go together."
……
The next day, when they arrived at the Dingguo Mansion, Si Ning and his party from the Pingyang Marquis Mansion got off the carriage and got on the soft sedan arranged by the Dingguo Mansion.
Now the weather is just right, and the flowers and pavilions along the way are full of flowers, pavilions and pavilions, which complement each other and are extraordinarily elegant.
After the soft sedan car stopped, the maid who had been waiting for a long time greeted her, "The slave has seen the distinguished guest, please come here."
Chen walked in front, and Si Ning and Si Yunting followed her quietly.
Si Ning and the others didn't come early, the Yufang Hall is already very lively now, and now the Dingguo Mansion is quite blessed by the Holy Grace, and almost half of the noble families in Beijing have come.
As soon as Si Ning entered, he found a lot of familiar faces, Ming Lingyi, Song Yanqing, and a few girls who had spoken ill of themselves behind their backs and were scolded and cried by themselves.
Song Yanqing also saw Si Ning at a glance, and Mrs. Song noticed her eyes, "Yan Qing, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I saw an acquaintance." Song Yanqing retracted her gaze and replied with a smile.
Looking at this lively scene, Si Ning thought to himself, it seems that the Dingguo Mansion is indeed a saint now, look at this pomp.
As soon as Si Ning and the others entered, Duchess Ruan of Dingguo greeted her with a smile, her smile was very enthusiastic, without the slightest embarrassment, as if they had never divorced before.
"Sister, come on, sit here, let's talk for a while." Nguyen sat down not far from her beside them.
Si Ning and Si Yunting sat down next to each other.
Si Yunting: "I really admire Mrs. Ruan's appearance that nothing has happened, have you seen it, when she pulled my aunt just now, my aunt's face froze."
Hearing her say this, Si Ning couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Did you say that?
However, the Ruan family is indeed not an ordinary person, just looking at the fact that there are only concubines and no concubines in the Dingguo Mansion, you know that she is not a simple person."
"That's right, now seeing her eight-sided exquisite appearance, I am even more glad in my heart." Si Yunting said with emotion.
"Rejoice? Rejoice in what?"
