Miss Xiao frowned and looked at Mrs. Qin, "Auntie, do you want your cousin to marry Miss Zhen?"
Mrs. Qin raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Qin and Mr. Qin Guo, "My daughter-in-law just thinks Miss Zhen is really good in all aspects, so..."
Qin Guogong stood up, "You are Yun Ting's mother. If he agrees to Yun Ting's marriage, I am not a person who is not open-minded. You can talk first, I have to leave beforehand."
Qin Guogong's words undoubtedly gave Mrs. Qin a signal, and the smile on Mrs. Qin's face deepened a bit.
Mrs. Qin has never interfered in these matters, and she doesn't care about the outside world, so Mrs. Qin is 90% sure that this matter will come true.
Seeing this, Miss Xiao's smile froze, she was worried for Qingle in her heart, she knew what Qingle was thinking, now Mrs. Qin and the Qin family have no objection to Zhen Yan, in case Qin Yunting nodded.
What about Qingle
"Xiao Jiu, come with me to the room, I brought you a gift." Qin Yun didn't notice that something was wrong with Xiao Yu, and pulled her out of the room.
Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Qin did not stop them from letting them leave. Mrs. Qin became more and more determined in her heart. After Qin Yun got married, she would free up her hands to prepare for Qin Yunting's affairs.
"Xiao Jiu, look." Qin Yun took out a brocade box and handed it to Xiao Concubine.
Xiao Concubine reached out to take it and opened it, her face suddenly turned pale. Inside the brocade box was a white jade lotus hairpin. This hairpin was the one that Xiao Concubine inserted into her chest after being humiliated in her previous life. Except for the different patterns, the rest were exactly the same.
"There are three hairpins in total, the lotus peony and the lily. Mine is a lily, and the other one is in the hands of sister Zhen."
Qin Yun pointed to the one with the lily carved on it, and said, "Xiao Jiu, let me plug it in for you."
Xiao Concubine took a step back, and Qin Yun was in emptiness, holding the jade lotus hairpin in her hand, "Don't you like lotus flowers, or this jade hairpin?"
Xiao Concubine came back to her senses and reached out to take the jade hairpin. She didn't know that there were actually three hairpins, "No, I like it very much, but I was thinking about other things just now."
Qin Yun heaved a sigh of relief, glanced at Concubine Xiao and covered her mouth with a smile, "Although I have never met Lord Zhao, his reputation is quite impressive, and I have heard of Lord Zhao's name throughout the journey, but after a few days of separation, are you Are you thinking about him?"
Concubine Xiao blushed, "It's nothing, but Cousin Yun is getting married soon, so it's time to stop thinking about it and be a good wife and mother."
Qin Yun curled her lips, "It's not the same as now, it's just a different environment, it's not as exaggerated as you said."
"That's different. Cousin Yun has to take care of the housework and serve her mother-in-law when she gets married, and she will have children for her husband and son-in-law in the future. How can she be so carefree as a girl?"
Qin Yun glanced at Xiao Concubine, and said with a smile, "It seems like you were married before. You are obviously three years younger than me. I understand all these truths. My mother always said in my ear, and I wrote them all down."
Concubine Xiao pretended to be something in her heart, mentioned a few words to Qin Yun, and then tentatively said, "Cousin Yun, do you also think that cousin and Miss Zhen are very suitable? Is this the meaning of the eldest aunt alone? Cousin can be a problem? "
"Of course I know. If Yun Ting doesn't nod, how can mother dare to mention it in front of grandfather? It was Yun Ting himself who mentioned it to mother, so mother inquired about sister Zhen in many ways. What's wrong?"
Qin Yun looked at Xiao Concubine suspiciously, and Xiao Concubine's heart sank, "When did my cousin meet Miss Zhen? Last time, my cousin and I stayed in the Jokhang Temple for a few days to save my mother. Master Ruoyu is an eminent monk who has attained the Tao, and he has done fortune-telling for Miss Zhen, and Miss Zhen's significant other is definitely not a cousin, and the two of them don't match each other, how can they be together?"
"And this?" Qin Yun was stunned for a moment, "I've never heard of this matter before. Sister Zhen and Yun Ting don't get along..."
"Yes, there was a joke at the beginning, saying that Miss Zhen and Master Zhao were a match made in heaven. Later, Master Zhao went to the Jokhang Temple to verify it, and only then did he know that Master Zhao's horoscope was wrong. But people happen to be Miss Zhen's predestined marriage."
Concubine Xiao frowned, feeling that the people around her seemed to be involved with Zhen Yan recently, and coincidentally, no one said Zhen Yan was bad.
Xiao Yu held the jade lotus hairpin tightly in her hand. If she remembered correctly, Zhen Yan's favorite flower was the lotus, but she just took away the peony, and a mist swirled in front of her eyes.
Qin Yun was thoughtful, "Could it be a misunderstanding? How can you be sure if you make a mistake once? Sister Zhen is kind-hearted and doesn't seem like a person who will play tricks. I will introduce you to you when I have a chance."
Concubine Xiao was discouraged, she smiled without saying a word, she skipped this topic and talked to Qin Yun about something else, thinking it would be better to ask Qin Yunting back.
After Xiao Concubine left, Mrs. Qin entered the room, looked up at Qin Yun, "Yun'er, what did Xiao Jiu talk to you about?"
Qin Yun didn't hide anything, and told Mrs. Qin everything, "Mother, if not, I'll find someone to give Sister Zhen and Yun Ting an approval."
Mrs. Qin snorted, "No need, Miss Zhen is my mother's favorite, and my mother doesn't believe a word of those rumors, Yun'er, you have to remember, this is the capital, and the forces are intricate, no more than when we were at the border. Now, you should be careful when you speak."
"Mother, Xiao Jiu is still young, so it's not as serious as you said." Qin Yun smiled, and didn't take Mrs. Qin's words to heart, "Xiao Jiu is my aunt's only daughter, we are all Xiao Jiu My relatives, how can there be so much attention."
When Mrs. Qin saw Qin Yun's heartless look, she was annoyed for a while, and she remembered that all the accounts of Qin's family being demoted to the border and suffering for so many years were all recorded on the right minister's house.
"Xiao Jiu is the daughter of Prime Minister Right. Your aunt has been dead for so many years. Prime Minister Right has nothing to do with the Qin family. Don't be confused!"
Mrs. Qin repeatedly urged, "The right minister must have sent her to inquire about the news. The more you disagree with this marriage, the more tricky it is. It's not for her to intervene in the Qin family's affairs."
Mrs. Qin was afraid that the Qin family would be targeted by the right minister, so she felt unconfident.
"Mother, you really think too much. Xiaojiu just reminded me a few words out of kindness and never said anything else. Why should mother be worrying about the sky? The Qin family didn't hinder the prime minister's family, so why should the right minister feel sorry for the Qin family? "
Qin Yun was a little helpless, Mrs. Qin liked to plan for the worst in everything, so that she lost her way.
"I hope so." Mrs. Qin breathed a sigh of relief, but she did not change her determination to marry Miss Zhen.
"Okay, mother has to leave first." Mrs. Qin waved her hand, turned and left, Qin Yun smiled helplessly.
As soon as Xiao Concubine came out of the house, she happened to meet Qin Yunting, "Cousin!"
Qin Yunting raised his eyes, "Xiao Jiu, why are you here? Look at my memory, you must have come to see Eldest Sister."
Miss Xiao glanced at the servant beside Qin Yunting, and smiled, "Yeah, I don't know if my cousin will have time tomorrow, but Lanjiuxiang has released some new dishes recently, Xiaojiu thinks it's good, my cousin is interested Try it?"
Qin Yunting was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Miss Xiao's eyes, he smiled and said, "Tomorrow happens to be free, so it's settled, and I'll see you at noon tomorrow."
"Okay!" Xiao Yu nodded, "Then I'll go first."
Qin Yunting hummed, and watched Xiao Concubine leave in confusion, as if he had something to say to himself, Qin Yunting shook his head and will know tomorrow.
Xiao Concubine returned to Linglong Pavilion full of thoughts, and as soon as she entered the room, she saw Qingle and Hongxiu two people arguing in full swing, smiling coquettishly.
Concubine Xiao supported her forehead, she was really afraid of something, and now Concubine Xiao was most afraid of confronting Qingle.
"Hey, you're back." Qing Le raised her red lips, "I came here by accident, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "I'll go out for a while, and ask the servant girl to say hello to me before I come back, so I won't make a trip in vain."
Qingle propped up her chin, "Hey, I heard that Miss Qin is back and has an engagement with Mr. Zhong's family. They are going to get married soon."
Xiao Yu glanced at her and said calmly, "You are well informed, the date has been fixed, and you will leave the cabinet in three months."
Qingle suddenly showed the shyness of a little girl, and her eyes sparkled. Seeing this, Concubine Xiao couldn't bear to speak. She waved her hand to push away the maid serving in the room, and looked at Qingle seriously.
Qingle was taken aback by Concubine Xiao's seriousness, and touched her cheek, "Look what I'm doing, is there something dirty on my face?"
"Qingle, there is something I want to mention to you." Concubine Xiao hesitated to speak, but Qingle became anxious, "Tell me, don't hide anything, I'm so anxious, what happened?" What's the matter?"
Concubine Xiao took a deep breath, "Qingle, how do you feel about my cousin, Qin Yunting?"
Qingle breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, "What did I think? It scared me. Didn't I mention it to you before? Mr. Qin is gentle and unrestrained. Compared with the children of those aristocratic families, he is the best among the sons of the capital. Counting as one of the best, the future is boundless."
Concubine Xiao and Qingle have been friends for so many years, but Qingle has never praised anyone, and the smile on her face froze a bit.
"I'm asking about your relationship with Qin Yunting..." Xiao Yu said it bluntly.
Qingle blushed, a little ignorant. Qingle had no one around her to teach these things since she was a child, and she knew nothing about the relationship between men and women. No matter how carefree a woman is on weekdays, mentioning these things would inevitably reveal her little daughter shy side.
Concubine Xiao knew Qingle well, she knew what Qingle was thinking when she saw this posture, she swallowed the words again, if Qin Yunting didn't like Zhenyan, then Qingle still had a chance, she had to listen Qin Yunting said it himself.
Xiao Yu kept comforting herself, and smiled, "There is no one else here, there is no need to hide between you and me, just say it."
Qingle faltered, her face was flushed but she couldn't say a word, she looked at Xiao Concubine coquettishly, "Why did you ask this, are you ashamed!"
"How about we go to get wine and have lunch at noon tomorrow, I haven't been there for a long time." Xiao Concubine skipped this topic, whether there will be a result tomorrow, but Xiao Concubine vaguely felt that the result would not be ideal.
Qingle didn't think much about it, "Okay!"
The two chatted for a few more words, and seeing that it was getting late, Qing Le left the Prime Minister's Mansion and returned to the Princess' Mansion. His eyelids kept twitching, and he had a premonition that something would happen.
Concubine Xiao booked two private rooms, one for Qin Yunting and one for Qingle.
The time for celebrating the appointment was earlier, and the two chattered for a while, Qingyu stood by the window staring, suddenly his face changed slightly.
Xiao Yu also noticed, "Qingle, I'll be back after I go out for a while."
Qingle waved his hand, "Go, go, go early and come back early."
Concubine Xiao went to another room, stood in front of the window and looked under her eyes, it was actually Qin Yunting who was accompanying Zhen Yan, Zhen Yan limped carelessly, Qin Yunting looked worried and cautiously Holding on until the soft sedan chair was lifted, Zhen Yan got into the soft sedan chair, and Qin Yunting instructed the sedan chair carefully before leaving.
Qin Yunting kept watching the sedan chair out of sight before he stepped into Lanjiuxiang.
Xiao Concubine closed the window, and understood about 70% to 80% in her heart. Seeing Qin Yunting's cautious and concerned expression, she probably fell in love with Zhen Yan.
Soon Qin Yunting pushed the door open and entered, "Xiao Jiu, I'm late."
Concubine Xiao smiled, "I just arrived too, and I just saw my cousin below. That's Miss Zhen, right? My cousin seems to be an old acquaintance with Miss Zhen?"
Qin Yunting nodded, a little unnaturally, but his face was full of joy, "Just now she accidentally sprained her foot, so it was a bit late, I have met Miss Zhen a few times, she and others Girls are different, gentle and kind, knowledgeable and understanding."
Qin Yunting unknowingly said a lot about Zhen Yan's good points. Since the incident in the northern suburbs last time, Qin Yunting has paid more and more attention to Zhen Yan, and has been attracted by Zhen Yan unconsciously.
"Then cousin is going to marry Miss Zhen as his wife?" Concubine Xiao still had a little hope in her heart, "Last time Master Ruoyu of Jokhang Temple..."
"That was a misunderstanding. Last time Miss Zhen wrote that the character of the second miss of the Zhen family was not her own. The second miss of the Zhen family was weak and sick. Originally, she just wanted to pray for safety and didn't want to be misunderstood by others without explaining anything."
Qin Yunting smiled, Zhen Yan was too kind in his eyes, such a beautiful woman, Qin Yunting was willing to spend his whole life caring for her.
"I have already mentioned this matter to my mother. When the elder sister leaves the cabinet, my mother will come to propose marriage."
Qin Yunting was delighted, and when he mentioned Zhen Yan, his eyes were soft.
Concubine Xiao took a deep breath and wanted to say something but heard a thud at the door, and soon there were footsteps leaving.
Xiao Concubine yelled that it was not good, "Cousin, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, so let's go first."
Saying that, Xiao Concubine opened the door and looked downstairs, and she saw a blush and ran away very quickly, Xiao Concubine was a little annoyed.
"Is this the case?"
"After Miss Nine left, the princess said the room was stuffy, so she stood in front of the window to get some air, and then said that it was convenient for her to stop the servants from following her. Then she fell down and ran away alone."
Qing Fei looked confused, didn't know what happened, and stomped her feet to chase after Qing Le.
Miss Xiao was desperate after hearing the words, and hurriedly chased after her, "You guys, hurry up and chase after her, and don't tell her that something happened."
"yes!"
Several people scattered to chase, the street was so crowded that there was no one to be found.
Xiao Concubine ran all the way to find her, almost crying, "Qingle, where are you?"
There was a group of people not far away, Xiao Concubine hurried forward to push through the crowd, and saw a man holding Qingle in his arms, and Qingle fainted in the man's arms with a pale face.
"Qingle!" Xiao Concubine took Qingle and glanced at the man, "Who are you?"
The man was dressed in commoner clothes, with a clear face, his eyes were as black as stars, and his face was somewhat familiar, but Xiao Yu couldn't remember it for a while.
"This girl was almost hit by a carriage when she went on a rampage just now. It was this young master who saved her." The people onlookers said.
Only then did Xiao Concubine see the surroundings clearly, a carriage was parked not far away, she couldn't help feeling scared for a while, "Thank you for saving my life, young master, Xiao Concubine is very grateful, dare to ask young master's name."
The man's face was very cold, his expression was light and his attire was inconspicuous, especially when he heard Xiao Concubine's name, his eyes became even colder. He stood up and said calmly, "No need."
Concubine Xiao ordered the servant girls who came over, "Send someone to invite the imperial physician to help her back to the mansion."
"yes!"
The man glanced back at the carriage, bent down to pick up the package on the ground, and patted the dust, as if it was something precious. After walking a few steps, he suddenly covered his chest with one hand, his face turned pale, and his thin body became more and more obvious. slim.
"My lord, please stop." Xiao Concubine called to stop the man, "My lord is seriously injured, why don't you go to the mansion to take care of yourself, if it wasn't for your lord, my friend's life is very likely to be in danger, so please, my lord..."
"No need." There was a sneer at the corner of the man's mouth, he glanced at Concubine Xiao and then withdrew his expression, "I know that my status is low, and I am not worthy of entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, so as not to dirty the ground of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Xiao Concubine frowned even more when she heard the words, she only said that she was Xiao Concubine but did not mention the Xiangfu, who is this person
