Such a domineering and cold man would actually say "I miss my daughter-in-law" for Qin Yining's cowardice in front of him.
Not to mention whether Qin Yining's wife's virtue is at a loss, in Pang Xiao's eyes, Qin Yining is always the wife with hair that accompanies him through the ups and downs, not to mention that she was born so beautiful, and gave birth to a pair of twins for Pang Xiao, Later, because of Pang Xiao, he lost his children and even his family.
Pang Xiao is a bloody man who attaches great importance to feelings. For a woman who is so beautiful and has sacrificed a lot for him, he doesn't mention the relationship between men and women, but the kindness is enough to bind him for a lifetime, not to mention that if a man feels indebted to a woman, He will treat her even better.
However, the queen also understood in her heart that all these feelings must be built on a man who is affectionate and with a sense of justice.
As the queen's thoughts turned, she suppressed the sourness that was surging in her heart, and said with a smile, "It's only been a few days since we were separated, so you can't think of your daughter-in-law like this? I didn't see you being single-minded on the battlefield. I miss my daughter-in-law." The tone was relaxed and close, like the elder sister-in-law of an ordinary family talking to her uncle.
In the Queen's heart, the most memorable thing is still the age when Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu called her sister-in-law.
Pang Xiao smiled and said: "Who said that the minister doesn't want to, even if the minister thought about it at that time, wouldn't it be the same. Now that the empress is here, there is room for negotiation, so the minister has the cheek to come here. The empress is considerate and considerate. Chen, when you are young, you spend less time with my sister Yi, so you can lend her to the minister for a few days? If you miss her, it's a big deal to let her come to accompany you during the day and go home at night."
If the queen doesn't agree with this, it's like bullying a couple.
What's more, Pang Xiao smiled so brightly with his handsome face, as if he was cheating on his close elder sister-in-law. Such a request really made the queen unable to refuse.
Seeing Qin Yining standing beside her tenderly, and seeing Pang Xiao's affectionate eyes from time to time, the queen's heart became more and more envious, thinking of her deep palace deserted, thinking of Li Qitian's ignorance of her, the queen's heart had another burst of envy. Sour and slightly jealous of Qin Yining.
But soon, an idea flashed in the queen's mind.
She is such an outsider. If Uncle Zhongyi sees Pang Xiao's affection for Qin Yining, and Qin Yining sees Bian Ruohan's love for Uncle Zhongyi, they might feel more sour? At that time, they may stop thinking about each other. In this way, she can be considered to have completed the task, no matter what the result is, she is not a queen who has turned a deaf ear to Zhuang Concubine and Bian Ruohan's request.
Thinking of this, the Queen felt a lot more refreshed and smiled: "Okay, you young couples, how can Ben Gong always be the 'Queen Mother'? Later, Ben Gong will let them prepare a vegetarian banquet, and everyone will use it together. , you take your wife back."
Pang Xiao knew that the queen would agree, but still happily bowed his hands: "Thank you, madam!"
His silly appearance made the queen laugh straight, and then he called Mammy Sun to his side and whispered a few words in a low voice.
"Yes, my servant will do it now." Sun mama saluted and stepped back quickly.
Everyone just thought that the queen was instructing Grandma Sun to prepare a vegetarian banquet.
It was only after the Empress ordered him to sit down that Qin Yining noticed that Concubine Zhuang had also come in silently. Concubine Zhuang didn't know which corner she was standing in just now, so she followed herself without being summoned by the queen, and it was not good to go directly to the queen's side. But because of her status as a concubine, she couldn't accompany her to sit at the bottom of the table.
Seeing Concubine Zhuang being so active, the Queen could naturally guess what she was thinking, and she felt very unhappy.
Because Concubine Zhuang brought Bian Ruohan to cry and complained, she had already put the Queen in the midst of other people's housework, and had been embarrassed for so long. Just now, she had the nerve to come up with a solution.
If there were no outsiders around, the queen would definitely want to teach Concubine Zhuang a few words, but in front of Pang Xiao and Qin Yining, she didn't want to be too disrespectful to Concubine Zhuang, so she gave her a warning look and said warmly: "Concubine Zhuang, let's go next to this palace."
Concubine Zhuang was chilled by the Queen's glance, and regretted chasing her in. But the queen did not refute her face on the spot, she was still slightly relieved, and she also wanted to see how the queen planned to deal with Qin Yining, so that she could bow meekly and thank her, and sat down next to the queen.
The queen ignored Concubine Zhuang, and only chatted with Qin Yining and Pang Xiao about some short-lived matters among the parents.
The queen and Pang Xiao have known each other early, and they got along like a family in their early years. At this time, when Li Qitian was not present, the two did not need to consider so many political disputes when they talked.
With such a familiar appearance, Zhuang Concubine pursed her lips unconsciously.
The relationship between the queen and Pang Xiao is so good, will she still deal with Pang Xiao's daughter-in-law? If they can't deal with the Qin family on the spot, where should their Bian family's face be put
Concubine Zhuang subconsciously looked at Qin Yining.
Qin Yining is so sharp, the consciousness that he cultivated in the mountains and fields still exists, and he is very sensitive to the sight of people or animals. Immediately aware of Concubine Zhuang's gaze, she looked back with a smile.
Concubine Zhuang, because she was thinking about something in her heart, immediately avoided Qin Yining's gaze. When she looked away, she realized that she had done nothing wrong. Qin Yining should be the one with a guilty conscience. What did she have to hide
Thinking of this, Concubine Zhuang stared back righteously. Who would have guessed that Pang Xiao was just throwing a handful of peeled peanuts into Qin Yining, and then he grabbed the peanuts on the table and chatted with the queen while peeling them. His attitude was natural. It seems that it is only natural for him to serve his daughter-in-law to eat fruit.
Where did Concubine Zhuang receive such preferential treatment, she was envious and jealous for a while, and she felt even more pity for Pang Xiao. He treats the Qin family like this, but the Qin family has already gone out of the wall!
"Niangniang, Uncle Zhongyi and Mrs. Uncle Zhongyi are here." The palace servants suddenly laughed back and forth.
The queen subconsciously glanced at Qin Yining from the corner of her eyes, "Let them come in."
The Queen's eyes were not very friendly, and there was still a bit of suspicion and inquiry, Qin Yining immediately noticed it.
What happened today, Concubine Zhuang and the Queen are looking at her with such eyes!
Qin Yining immediately felt an unnamed fire in his heart, but because of his status, it couldn't happen.
Pang Xiao's relaxed expression when he was still laughing with the queen also turned serious, his handsome face was tense, and he was extremely unhappy. There was a crisp sound on the disk. It's like knocking on the heart.
The queen looked at Pang Xiao and pursed her lips.
The chat was so pleasant just now, but now it has suddenly dropped to the freezing point. This kind of gap really makes people panic.
The queen squinted at Zhuang Concubine, the culprit, and became even more panicked.
Lu Heng and Bian Ruohan approached one after the other and saluted together.
"The minister (the minister's wife) sees the empress."
"Excuse the gift and give me a seat." The queen came back to her senses,
When someone from the palace brought the chair, Lu Heng and Bian Ruohan sat on the other side according to their identities, facing Pang Xiao and Qin Yining.
Bian Ruohan was wearing a light pink splendid splendid cross-collar with grapes and a palace flower with red pomegranate strings on her head.
She knew that when she came to see Qin Yining in the other courtyard, she dressed up like this in order to avoid losing the battle. Qin Yining was dressed in plain clothes, so she did the opposite. She just didn't want to lose to Qin Yining in front of anyone.
Especially when the Empress already knew that Qin Yining was not a good woman.
When she came, she had been speculating on the way that the queen had made a special trip to call the couple to come, whether she planned to punish Qin Yining.
If this is the case, she can't lose to her in appearance!
After Lu Heng and Bian Ruohan came, the relaxed atmosphere of the queen's previous chat with Pang Xiao and Qin Yining completely disappeared. The queen and Lu Heng talked mostly about the local rain and the food issue of the people.
The topic is these, it will inevitably make the atmosphere heavy.
The queen was very worried. These days, natural and man-made disasters occurred frequently, Ji Zeyu managed to defeat the Tartars, and the world had just settled down for a long time before such disasters happened again. The queen lived a miserable life herself, and the more she did not want the people to continue to suffer, she worried about the people, and prayed for the people's blessings very sincerely.
So speaking of this, her mood became more and more depressed.
Because of the tense atmosphere, Bian Ruohan wanted to secretly ask Concubine Zhuang how it was going several times, but seeing that the atmosphere was not right, she did not dare to go forward.
Fortunately, Mammy Sun came in with a smile and replied, "Niangniang, the vegetarian banquet is ready. Are you ordering someone to pass the meal?"
"Yeah." The Queen smiled and nodded.
Qin Yining was just thinking about where to go for dinner, when she saw Mammy Sun leading the palace people to bring in several bills.
One was placed in front of the first queen, one was placed in front of Concubine Zhuang, and the other two were one left and one right, just one for Qin Yining and Pang Xiao, and one for Lu Heng and Bian Ruohan.
Immediately, a palace servant and maid came up with a black lacquer snail food box, and soon the table was filled with vegetarian dishes with all colors and flavors.
The queen smiled and said, "On a rainy day, my bones are sore, and I'm too lazy to move. We are not outsiders, so let's have dinner together."
Lu Heng and Pang Xiao both smiled and said, "The luck of the minister."
Sitting in this way, men and women were not allowed to sit apart, Qin Yining was so happy that he couldn't meet Bian Ruohan alone. As soon as he picked up the chopsticks, Pang Xiao had already packed a lot of dishes on the plate in front of her.
"You've lost a lot of weight these days, eat more."
Qin Yining warmed his heart and said with a smile, "You should eat more too."
Pang Xiao nodded with a smile.
In the eyes of outsiders, Pang Xiao is a domineering and cold-hearted hero. Who would have thought that a person like him has such a warm side? In front of Qin Yining, he is like a lion with its sharp claws, a well-behaved house cat. Although the couple no longer talk much and pay attention to the rule of not eating, they often treat dishes that they think taste good. Clip to each other, and the two smiled at each other again. Such a scene is warm and sweet, and it can be seen that they get along like this in life.
