Linglong Court
Xiao Concubine stayed in the courtyard obediently and copied the Meditation Sutra, feeling comfortable all over, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she accepted it even if she was punished.
"Miss, the princess sent a letter just now."
Hongxiu hurriedly handed Qingle's letter to Xiao Yu, who hurriedly took it, then quickly opened it, glanced at it hastily, and the corner of her mouth curled up.
"Great, that damned Liu Qingzhou was sent away, Liu Qingwu lost her reputation, and she didn't die. Hmph, I see what she can do. If the princess is more cruel, just send her away. Why bother with Qingle?"
Concubine Xiao smiled slightly, Qingle was not well received in the princess mansion, and if such a thing happened again, it would affect Qingle to some extent, after all, who would want a daughter-in-law to be unrestrained.
Wouldn't it be even worse if she followed Princess Jinshu
"It would be great if Qingle could move out of the Princess Mansion and set up another mansion."
Xiao Yu stroked her chin and fell into deep thought.
In a blink of an eye the next day
Qin Yunting came to visit the old lady early in the morning, and the old lady was very satisfied with Qin Yunting's opinion.
Elegant in conversation, generous in gestures, gentle and polite, and dignified in appearance, it is not difficult to see that the family has a good education.
"Go and invite Xiao Jiu."
The old lady's eyes flickered slightly, for the happiness of Xiao Concubine's next half of life, the old lady has been worrying about getting angry these few days, and when she sees Qin Yunting, her eyes suddenly light up.
Qin Yunting's scalp went numb, and he dealt with the old lady with a faint smile.
"Is the Duke and the others all right? Counting the time, it's time to come back."
Qin Yunting nodded, "Mrs. Lao is thinking about it. Grandpa and grandmother are well. Before returning, grandmother specially ordered Yunting to say hello to the old lady. If there is no accident, she should be able to return to Beijing next month."
The old lady smiled, "It's good to be back, after all these years away, it's not as comfortable as at home."
After a while, Concubine Xiao came in, followed by Xiao Ying, the old lady's expression changed slightly.
Xiao Ying lowered her head, with a graceful and elegant appearance, she bowed in a mannered manner.
"Ying'er, I met my grandmother."
Concubine Xiao is much more lively, "Xiao Jiu is visiting grandma, grandma, are you looking for me?"
The old lady withdrew her expression, hummed lightly, and pointed at Concubine Xiao, Qin Yunting immediately stood up.
"Cousin Ting?" The corner of Xiao Yu's mouth curled up, full of surprise, then she slapped her head, only thinking about celebrating, but she forgot about Qin Yunting.
Concubine Xiao stuck out her tongue, a little shyly, "Cousin, you are here."
Qin Yunting first glared at Xiao Concubine, he could see the girl's surprise and annoyance just now.
Before she could speak, Xiao Ying stepped forward and leaned slightly, "I've seen my eldest cousin."
Qin Yunting frowned, but it was a bit far-fetched to call out cousin, the two had no relationship at all.
But to hinder the old lady, Qin Yunting nodded slightly, and said lightly, "Cousin."
Xiao Ying raised her eyes, she lost her mind for a moment, she had seen Qin Yunting before, but it was only when she was very young, and she hadn't seen him for a few years, she became more tall and handsome, handsome and handsome, and her whole body was more noble than Qin Yunting's. When the prince came, he was not inferior, his cheeks were slightly hot.
"Why did my cousin come back suddenly? I haven't seen you for a few years. The change is so big. How are grandfather and the others?"
Xiao Ying spoke a little shyly, staring at Qin Yunting with a concerned look.
"It's all good, Cousin Lao is concerned." Qin Yunting's tone was alienated, and he didn't even look at Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying nodded, what else was she talking about.
The old lady's face darkened when she saw this, "Sister Ying, I remember that there is a piece of satin for you in the small storeroom. Nanny Ruan, take the eldest lady to get it."
Xiao Ying's face froze, she bit her lip in grievance, "Grandmother..."
"Miss, this way please."
Xiao Ying took a deep breath and smiled slightly, "Grandmother, Ying'er will come to see you later, cousin, I'll go first."
Qin Yunting didn't respond, he didn't know what he was thinking, the old lady was so angry that she wanted to curse, she felt a little chilled looking at Xiao Ying's back.
Xiao Ying pretended not to know, and deliberately dawdled, walking very slowly.
Concubine Xiao curled her lips, Xiao Ying's little thought was clearly revealed, and when she saw the needle, the net was cast too wide, and one could always be caught.
She is really thick-skinned, Xiao Concubine pursed her lips, and glanced at Qin Yunting. She was really rare in appearance, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and an extraordinary appearance.
Qin Yunting shrugged innocently, he messed with whoever he was looking for.
"Xiao Jiu, your cousin just arrived, take him to the mansion for a stroll, and come to grandma's for lunch at noon."
The old lady instructed that the more she looked at Qin Yunting, the more she liked it.
Concubine Xiao nodded, "Cousin, please."
Qin Yunting didn't refuse, and followed Xiao Concubine out, leaving Qing'an Yuan, Xiao Concubine suddenly became lively.
"Cousin, your face is so eye-catching. This time, I don't know how many little girls are relieved. I guess my aunt must be confused."
Xiao Yu smiled and joked.
"Nonsense! How dare Xiao Jiu learn to laugh at my cousin. I left in a hurry yesterday. Let me ask you, have you ever been wronged in the mansion in the past few years? How did the eldest lady treat you? Just tell me, now my grandfather is coming back soon. I can support you."
Qin Yunting looked at Xiao Ying, who was talented just now, and couldn't help frowning, not having the slightest dignity of a daughter's family, and shook his head.
Concubine Xiao pursed her lips, "Cousin, how could Xiao Jiu be wronged? Cousin doesn't need to worry, only Xiao Jiu bullies others, how can anyone dare to bully Xiao Jiu!"
Qin Yunting nodded, "Then the third prince's marriage, are you sure you don't want it?"
As soon as he came back, he heard a lot about it. In his memory, Concubine Xiao was always crying and shouting to marry Lian Jiye, how could she change her temper when she was so good
Qin Yunting was a little curious.
Concubine Xiao stopped in her tracks and nodded, "Naturally, Xiao will keep his word and never marry the third prince. Xiao Jiu will personally choose a husband and son-in-law."
Xiao Concubine blushed slightly as she spoke, but the aura in her eyes couldn't be concealed.
Qin Yunting frowned, "Nonsense! It seems that the old lady and You Quite really spoiled you."
Xiao Concubine was not annoyed, and took Qin Yunting for a walk in the garden, surrounded by a pool of water the size of a disc, with a rockery on top, flowing water continuously.
Turning around, he was face to face with Qin Yunting, the two talked and laughed, and walked backwards.
"Cousin, will you not leave this time when you come back?"
Xiao Concubine raised her eyes and asked, she remembered that in her previous life, the Duke of Qin's mansion was involved in seizing the concubine, and was opposed to the right. In fact, he was framed by others, which made the emperor furious, and the whole mansion was exiled for thousands of miles. died of illness.
While thinking, before he had time to react, someone grabbed his hand.
"Xiao Jiu, be careful!"
Xiao Yu looked back, and was surprised to find that the other hand was also grabbed and clasped tightly.
As soon as he raised his head, he met a pair of cold eyes, which were piercingly cold, and the chill was overwhelming.
