Zhou didn't have time to be happy, and when he heard the second half of the sentence, his face couldn't help but be slightly gloomy.

"Your second sister went to look for you?" The corners of her mouth slightly pulled up a hint of mockery: "The girl has grown up, and her heart has become bigger, a concubine still wants to go to the academy?" ”

"It's not a bad thing to read more," Qu Ningxi said: "I wanted to mention it last year, but I'm afraid that my mother and Aunt Ye will make trouble......"

"You shouldn't mention it," Zhou said angrily: "If I hadn't given birth to San Lang, you would see if they would have climbed on their heads!" ”

"But they don't have a chance, it's a foregone conclusion."

Qu Yuancheng can be said to have a poor child, and he only got a daughter after two or three years of marriage, and later accepted a few concubines and added a concubine.

thought it was a childless life, but his wife was very surprised to give birth to a son-in-law.

I can't say I'm old at the moment, but I'm afraid there is little hope of rebirth.

Besides, for Qu Yuancheng, the most important thing is the prosperity of the family, and he is full of eyes to give birth to a son to test his fame and seek a place in Shangjing.

will not indulge in women's lust and make the act of spoiling concubines and killing wives.

Zhou refused to let go, "I haven't seen anyone stuff their concubine into the academy, why should I lift her?" ”

"Didn't my mother say that sisters should help each other?" Qu Ningxi said slowly: "Going to school is not a big deal, it's not a promotion, isn't it all doomed." ”

can promise the concubine out to the younger brother for a gentleman back, the result of the concubine is not difficult to predict.

Probably considering Aunt Ye's inability to turn over, Zhou finally agreed to Qu Ningxi's little suggestion.

After arranging three days with Yan Tan's face, she took out a set of begonia dripping green heads, which is suitable for young girls, and she is prepared to come.

Qu Ningxi didn't say much, and accepted it obediently.

When he came out of the hall, the silver bottle was in a hurry.

She was waiting outside, and vaguely heard something: "Miss doesn't plan for herself, so why don't you care if the second girl lives or dies?!" ”

How can such a delicate beauty who climbs flowers and cover the moon marry a widower!

Even if the Qu family is not a prominent family, even if the scholar has a high status, and Mr. Yan Tan is still a leader among the literati, it can't change the fact that he is a widower!

Qu Ningxi put her hands in her sleeve pockets and said slowly: "I don't need to object." ”

Grandma Sun will soon know her father's intentions and inform the queen.

Everyone has selfish intentions, and the father and mother take San Lang as the starting point to seek the long-term, while the queen only considers the pros and cons of the second prince.

She just needs to go through the motions.

*******

Three days flew by.

Qu Ningxi wore a green blue silk moon brocade skirt, and wore the head of the begonia dripping green, the whole person was like a lotus bud on the pond surface, tender and vibrant, and the water was smart.

As far as the eye can see, all eyes are lit up.

The agreed location is in a flower forest suitable for spring viewing, and at this time it is in full bloom with patches of bright golden plums.

Qu Ningxi traveled, not only following the silver bottle closely, but also Mama Sun and Ah Shu, the little girl who ran errands outside, were also among them.

Nowadays, it is not uncommon for young men and women to travel side by side.

The juniors made an appointment to enjoy the lantern cruise together, and they did not leave the maid and the maid by their side, and they would not be harmful.

As soon as Qu Ningxi arrived in the flower forest, before she saw Mr. Yantan, Grandma Sun told her: The queen mother gave more than a dozen paper kites, invited some nobles from the capital, and accompanied her to enjoy the spring.

Who doesn't say that Queen Qu loves her niece?

Qu Ningxi expected, she wandered and didn't know, and was obediently led over to meet with the young ladies of each family.

Miss Xu, Miss Yin, Miss Li, and Shang Jing came with a lot of familiar faces, and there was even a rare Miss Lu among them.

Qu Ningxi paid attention to the tall and slender figure, the Lu family is the prince's maternal grandfather, full of loyal martyrs, all the men are bloody, and only a posthumous girl remains.

Xu is due to family reasons, Miss Lu has a lonely and cold temperament, no one likes to take care of her, and no one dares to provoke her, so she will come to Hualin today?

Mama Sun followed her line of sight and said in a low voice, "I happened to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Lu." ”

Even if the second prince's faction and the East Palace don't deal with each other, they can't leave the number of courtesies when they meet, so they invite her to put a paper kite together.

"What?"

The calmness on Qu Ningxi's face was instantly broken, and the whole person froze in place.

Prince?

She finally calmed down from her panic and pressed down on the events of that night, how could she be mentally prepared to face him?

It stands to reason that they have very few chances, at most two or three times a year.

Who knew that it was so unlucky today.

The ladies are quietly talking about Miss Lu, and she is with His Royal Highness the Prince, isn't she disturbed?

At present, the position of the crown princess is undecided, and the cousins are likely to kiss each other, and this move can also appease the Lu family.

After all, the Lu family is too tragic......

Qu Ningxi was absent-minded, and her palms were sweaty.

The silver bottle looked at Mr. Yan Tan and didn't see him, he shouldn't be late, right? While asking, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Qu Ningxi pursed her lips and didn't speak.

She was thinking, how could she be in full view of the prince's performance and admired him and had to restrain her look?

Does she need to explain why she looks at others?

Could he have forgotten to kill her and remembered to mend the knife as soon as he saw it?

Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Manners

Qu Ningxi was in a state of mind, pretending to be calm on her face, and distributed the paper kites rewarded by the queen to the ladies, accompanied them to laugh, and entered the flower forest together.

Not long after, a little guy quietly came over and conveyed Mr. Yantan's apology to Grandma Sun.

He didn't come late, but he didn't intend to disturb the young ladies' outing, so he didn't show up.

Another day, I will personally come to the Marquis of Anyong's Mansion to apologize.

The implication of the apology, the two of them looked at each other and ended here.

Yan Tan is smart and sensitive, and has already understood her meaning from the queen's behavior of inviting noble girls.

There is no need for anyone to point him out, so he retreats in the face of difficulties, and considers the courtesies of both parties.

Qu Ningxi knew this result before coming, and Grandma Sun and Yinhua also knew it.

So no one went to their hearts, so they really picked up the kite and took it as a spring outing.

But obviously, Qu Ningxi was not interested.

Just like the little rabbit with the hemp rope around her neck, she jumped cautiously in place, guarding against when the rope would be tightened and she was restrained.

This plum forest is all old trees, with lush branches and flowers, and clusters of forests.

The small calendula flowers add a touch of vibrant color to this early spring.

Miss Lu came over and took a paper kite at random.

When she got close, Qu Ningxi was able to compare her tallness, half a head taller, she was really a tiger father and a dogless girl.

Lu Yanhua's expression was cold, but she wore a red dress of Babao Shu Jinqian, with a slender body and peony makeup on her face.

As her name suggests, she is glamorous and compelling, the opposite of her temperament.

Most of the little girls were stunned by her cold face, and they didn't dare to go up and talk easily.

Miss Xu pouted directly: "What is arrogant." ”

Miss Li tugged at the hem of her sleeve, "Don't say it......"

The Lu family is not only the grandfather of the crown prince, but even His Majesty has to remember it every year.

All in all, this is a master who is qualified to be willful.

Lu Yanhua didn't want to talk to anyone, and when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appeared, she passed.

threw the kite in his hand into Pei Yingxiao's arms, and his movements were familiar, and the latter smiled lightly and tolerated her behavior.

When the prince came, everyone stepped forward in turn to salute.

Today is also a plain robe, Qiongzhi Yushu, as soon as it appears, it makes the surroundings eclipsed.

Pei Yingxiao's picturesque eyebrows and eyes complement the reality of this flower forest, and the tear moles under the eyelids seem to be shining.

If he wasn't the prince, he might be kidnapped by a tough woman on the street.

Attention was all on them, but no one noticed Qu Ningxi's apprehension.

She was decent, she didn't dare to look at Pei Yingxiao, and the two couldn't fight together.

Until, Qu Ningxi accidentally stepped on a wet stone moss, the soles of his feet slipped, and he stumbled.

Fortunately, she stood firm in time and was not injured, so she had a false alarm.

However, Pei Yingxiao stepped over and grabbed the person with his long arm.

He was born tall, Qu Ningxi only reached his shoulder, lined with a petite one, and he gently raised his hand to pick people up.

The nobles saw Qu Ningxi fall, although he didn't hit the ground, but it was because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince moved too fast and reached out in time to help.

"Miss Qu is okay, right?"

"Don't sprain it......"

They gathered around.

Qu Ningxi hurriedly shook his head: "I didn't ......"

Pei Yingxiao smiled and looked down at her: "Miss Qu should not be strong. ”

The bottom of the dark eyes seemed to be cold, and Qu Ning stumbled and changed his words: "I...... My feet hurt? ”

The little girl chose to admit without the slightest struggle.
