Qin Yining smiled politely, "Thank you. Mrs. An Pingbo, please take your seat."
"Don't dare, princess please."
Mrs. Anping and Qin Yining politely gave in, and then they sat down side by side humbly.
Ji Yun and Bingtang served tea, and then quietly retreated to the corner.
Qin Yining brought a tea bowl to Mrs. Anping Uncle, "Please have a taste. This is the black tea that just came in. The weather is cold and cold, so eating some black tea is better for your body."
Seeing Qin Yining being so easygoing, Mrs. Anping let go of her dangling heart. Previously, she heard that the Qin family was very favored by Prince Zhongshun, and she was a daughter of noble family background, and she was so beautiful, so she based her experience and preconceived that she must be a slightly arrogant and temperamental woman.
Although An Pingbo has a title, he has not been in power for a long time. He has been away from the power center for many years. They are naturally incomparable with the only prince with a different surname in this dynasty.
Because of this, Mrs. Anping kept the heart of friendship, and chatted with Qin Yining politely. After a while, she found that Qin Yining herself was as easy to get along with as she appeared to be. She no longer continued to be cautious, and spoke a lot more freely.
After a few chats, Mrs. Anping saw that the atmosphere was just right, and smiled, "I came to harass the princess today. In fact, I helped Uncle Zhongyi and the Bian family to invite the princess."
"Oh?" Qin Yining said calmly, "Is it about the wedding banquet? You can also see that it is really inconvenient for me and the prince to attend the banquet. One is that we are afraid of colliding with the newlyweds, and the other is that we cannot have fun during the period of filial piety. ."
"What the princess said is that it's the same as our mansion." Mrs. Anping said, "You know what I'm looking at. But Zhongyibo discussed with Concubine Zhuang and Bian's family, and they all felt this way. It is not good for us to neglect us.
"Uncle Zhongyi's big wedding, many noble families in the court only gave gifts but could not attend the wedding banquet because of their filial piety. In the private room, there is no singing and dancing, and no silk and bamboo orchestra, so only two tables of light meals are arranged. Those of us who are inconvenient to attend the wedding banquet will get together and have a light meal. Uncle Zhongyi also knows about the affairs of your house, but also invites The princess and the lord go to admire their faces, otherwise Uncle Zhongyi will always feel sorry in his heart."
Qin Yining was a little hesitant to hear the words.
In fact, it is very common to hold a table in a quiet place to thank the guests who can't attend the wedding banquet. If the other guests who can't go to the wedding banquet in person all nod their heads, if she and Pang Xiao do not agree, they will invite people to talk about it. , that will not only open sinners, but also leave room for infinite imagination to make people talk nonsense behind their backs.
Qin Yining didn't want her and Pang Xiao to be too out of place.
Seeing Qin Yining's hesitation, Mrs. An Ping smiled and said, "Wang Fei is worried about going to someone you don't know well? We two are so close together, when we sit next to each other, I can give you a recommendation. These ladies in the city. Most of them are still very easy-going, and they will naturally become familiar with each other when they meet more in the future."
This is one reason why Qin Yining wants to go.
She was not familiar with the noble ladies in the DPRK, so she returned to the capital to settle down. The first point was to make the interactions between the ladies clear. With this opportunity, she could enter the circle of noble ladies in advance, without having to Find another time.
Qin Yining guessed that Pang Xiao would be jealous, but they all knew in their hearts that Pang Xiao was a sensible person and should agree with her decision.
Thinking about this, Qin Yining no longer hesitated, nodding and saying, "Mrs. Anping is right, but I don't know when?"
As soon as she agreed, Mrs. Anping laughed and said, "On the day when they got married on the eighth day of the eighth day, there was a Shunfu restaurant near the mansion, don't worry, we are just looking for another place to have a quick meal. , it won't break the rules."
Qin Yining nodded and said with a smile: "I will definitely make the appointment when I arrive, but my lord has been in poor health recently and is in bed, so he may not be able to go with him."
Qin Yi would rather agree, Mrs. An Pingbo has already spoken to An Pingbo, not to mention what identity is Pang Xiao? What is he going to do, how can he let outsiders betray him
Mrs. Anping agreed with a full mouth, then got up with a smile and said goodbye.
Qin Yining personally sent the person to the door before returning to the inner house.
Pang Xiao asked the reason carefully, Qin Yining explained it in detail, and finally said, "Let's come back to Beijing, while you are sick, only Ding Guogong and your former subordinates dare to visit. We should also find suitable ways to properly expand our contacts.”
Pang Xiao thought for a while and said, "You are right. That being the case, on the eighth day of the first day, you can bring Jiyun and Bingtang with you. One of them is skilled in the body and the other is good at medicine. With them by your side, I can rest assured. Some. I'm arranging a few other people to protect you secretly, so you won't be in trouble."
Qin Yining was a little surprised by Pang Xiao's attitude. Didn't he like her to have anything to do with Lu Heng
She admired Pang Xiao's ability to be so sensible. If it were a woman who had been coveting Pang Xiao for a long time and wanted to get married, she would not have forgotten to invite Pang Xiao to the scene before getting married, and she would be somewhat uncomfortable.
Qin Yining only cared about the generosity of Pang Xiao, but he didn't know that Pang Xiao had greeted Lu Heng's ancestors for the 18th generation in his heart. And no matter who Lu Heng wants to marry and who is tempted now, he has been coveting his sister Yijie before, and even if he can't, he will do little things behind his back!
If it wasn't for his trust in Qin Yining's character, knowing that Lu Heng could only be nice to Concubine Zhuang's cousin in order to curry favor with Li Qitian, he would not dare to do anything else. Push him to the ground and kick his feet to vent his anger.
The thoughts in his heart were complicated, but on the face of Pang Xiao, he found that he was very generous. I didn't want Qin Yining to underestimate him, thinking that he was a person with a small stomach.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Qin Yining got up early in the morning, and Ji Yun took the long-prepared white brocade and dark cloud pattern Beizi, and served her with washing and dressing.
Bingtang flipped it nimbly and twisted Qin Yining's long black and shiny hair into a bun, decorated with plain silver phoenix hairpins.
Pang Xiao leaned against the big pillow by the window and read a book, but he kept staring at Qin Yining's direction from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that she was all light-colored, there were no gold ornaments on her head to decorate her head, and she didn't even use too bright makeup. But the beauty and charm she revealed from the inside was from the inside out, so he didn't even want to blink when he looked at it.
Qin Yining sorted it out properly, and as soon as he turned his head, he looked at Shang Pangxiao's scorching eyes full of admiration, and couldn't help laughing: "What are you looking at, Your Highness?"
"Look at how beautiful my sister Yi is." Pang Xiao got up and walked to Qin Yining, wrapping her arms around her and saying, "Sister Yi, why don't you go today?"
Qin Yining said amusingly, "We're all ready, why don't you go?"
Pang Xiao snorted: "Our sister Yi is so beautiful, why should I give them a look?"
Qin Yining burst out laughing: "Domineering."
"It's still domineering." Pang Xiao played a rogue.
Ji Yun and Bingtang saw that Pang Xiao and Qin Yining were tired of being together again, so they both held back their laughter and quietly retreated.
"The prince and the princess are really in love. Does the prince wish that the princess could cover her face wherever she goes?" Bingtang joked with a smile.
Ji Yun giggled, "You still said, aren't you and your tiger son like this?"
Bingtang's face turned red all of a sudden, she stomped her feet and glared at Jiyun, "You bad hoof, you only make up for me, aren't you and Tang Guard these days..."
"Oh! You still said it!" Ji Yun's face turned red now.
The two maids stared at each other, both with the appearance of Xiafei's cheeks and eyes filled with spring water. Qin Yining came out of the room and looked at them like this.
Ji Yun and Bingtang couldn't help but laugh.
Qin Yining took the two out, while Pang Xiao called Tang Xiu and whispered a few words.
The driver of Qin Yining's carriage and the escort following the carriage have been replaced by Jinghu guards, which can be completely guaranteed in terms of safety.
When the carriage arrived at the Shunfu Restaurant, the steward at the intersection saw that it was the canopy carriage of the Prince Qin's Mansion, and hurried forward to greet him respectfully.
Qin Yining followed behind the steward into the restaurant and went directly to a private room on the second floor next to the end of the corridor.
"Princess, the female relatives are all here now, please come in."
Qin Yining nodded and entered the house after the steward passed the message.
When I looked outside the door, I thought it was an ordinary room with one or two Eight Immortals tables, but when I entered the door, I found that this box is very spacious, and it is not a problem to put ten or eight tables.
Many female relatives have come. As Mrs. Anping said yesterday, the female relatives who come here are all unable to attend the wedding banquet for some reason. Everyone wears plain clothes. In the sapphire blue, it does not appear abrupt.
Mrs. Anping noticed Qin Yining's arrival with sharp eyes, and greeted her with a smile, "Prince Zhongshun is here? Come quickly."
Said, holding Qin Yining's hand affectionately, he walked to the table of the Eight Immortals, where a group of women were sitting, and said with a smile, "This is Princess Zhongshun."
Among the women present, several Qin Yining looked familiar, and some were indeed unfamiliar.
Qin Yining nodded calmly, and then followed the enthusiastic Mrs. Anping to recognize everyone present.
These ladies were different from other officials and wives Qin Yining had met. The situation of these women's families was similar. Most of them were the men in the family who were far away from the core of power. Xu Shi has not been involved in the affairs of the imperial court for a long time, each of them seems to be very peaceful, even the speed of speech is slower, each of them is not hurried or slow, and has a certain bearing.
Qin Yining has a good memory, and after recognizing a circle of people, he remembered everyone, and also analyzed the temperament of each of them.
And these ladies are also very familiar with Qin Yining, this woman's life is too legendary is only one aspect, the most important thing is that the bridegroom official who is getting married today may have some relationship with the one in front of him.
If not, why did the Empress Dowager match them in front of many courtiers and wives when she was in the Ci'an Palace
