Zhuo Qinlan's eyes were red, and she felt extremely aggrieved. She was the daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace, and was once hailed as the most beautiful woman in the capital by people in the circle of official women.
But now, in front of His Highness Prince Jing, she turned out to be just another person. How could this make her feel so embarrassed
"Why did you pick me up in a carriage like this?" Xia Yuanqiu asked puzzledly, looking at the cramped and narrow space inside the carriage.
Zhu Yan curled his lips, with a charming smile on his face. With a hook of his long arms, his delicate body was held in his arms: "Do you understand now?"
Xia Yuanqiu's pretty face turned red, and she reached out and hit Zhu Yan's chest, saying coquettishly: "Rogue!"
Ding Mansion
It is not unusual for a noble daughter from the Ding family to have a bigger hairpin. The Ding family has a deep foundation in the capital, and Mr. Ding also holds an important position, so he is naturally sought after by people, unlike the prime minister's family who is indifferent.
In the front yard, there are mostly male guests such as courtiers, colleagues and relatives and elders, and there are thirty tables. In the back yard, there are ladies and ladies, and there are twenty tables.
As Prince Zhu Yan, he was naturally a distinguished guest. As soon as he entered the mansion, he was led to the guest of honor seat in the front hall, accompanied by Lord Ding himself.
As Princess Jing, Xia Yuanqiu was also led to the guest of honor seat in the main banquet hall in the backyard, accompanied by Mrs. Ding herself.
When Xia Yuanqiu saw Mrs. Ding, he recognized her as the official lady he met in Jiangzhou. She had changed her appearance at that time, so Mrs. Ding could not recognize her.
"Miss Zhuo Er is so beautiful, I can't help but like her." Mrs. Ding praised her sincerely.
She is also a mother and has given birth to a daughter. If her daughter were to stand next to Zhuo Qinya, she might not even be able to compare with the maid next to her.
Xia Yuanqiu smiled and said: "Mrs. Ding, Yuanqiu is temporarily staying in Zhuo Mansion, and his surname is not Zhuo. Yuanqiu's surname is Xia, and Xia is Xia."
Mrs. Ding was stunned for a moment, then she realized that she had heard a lot about Xia Yuanqiu recently. It was not difficult for her to understand what she said, so she nodded and smiled: "Then I will take the liberty of calling you Yuanqiu." .”
She secretly looked at Xia Yuanqiu several times, and the more she looked, the more familiar she felt, especially those eyes. They were very familiar, but she couldn't remember when or where she had seen them before.
Yuan Qiu saw her expression and knew that she was suspicious, so he asked, "Did Madam and Master Ding go to Jiangzhou last year?"
Mrs. Ding was slightly stunned: "How do you know?"
Yuan Qiu took the tea cup placed on the carved rosewood table beside him, took a sip, and said with a smile: "That day, Madam's carriage collided with someone, Master Ding fell unconscious on the ground, and I happened to be at the scene."
Mrs. Ding stared at Yuan Qiu in front of her, remembering everything that happened that day, looking at Yuan Qiu's bright eyes, her head suddenly became clear, and she exclaimed in shock: "Is Yuan Qiu the young doctor who saved the master that day? "
Xia Yuanqiu nodded with a smile: "It's Yuanqiu."
Mrs. Ding stood up quickly and was so happy that she didn't know what to do: "That **** saved my life, but we didn't even have time to say a word of thanks, and you disappeared, making it hard for me to find you!" The **** was suspicious of Yuan Qiu, but it later turned out that she had no other intentions, and just really wanted to help her, but she was disrespectful to her benefactor. She always had a grudge against her and spent a lot of effort to find her. But she has been unsuccessful, and this has become a worry for her. She didn't expect that we would meet again in the house today. What a chance it must be.
No wonder I always feel familiar when I look at her, but I can't remember that the ugly appearance at that time was just her disguise.
Madam Ding held up the hand and wanted to bow, but Yuan Qiu quickly stopped her: "Madam, I've seen you. As a doctor, it is my natural duty to save lives and heal the wounded. How can I deserve this? Madam will really upset Yuan Qiu."
