In fact, Su Ningxin has always admired Lin Yue. She was not pretentious like other women in the harem, she was capable and did things without any scheming.
It's just that at that time, her character was that of a domineering concubine, and it was difficult to get along with her, so there was no friendship. But now that we are both dating, it would be nice to have the opportunity to play together. It just so happens. I have no friends in Daming Mansion that I can talk to.
Just when she was thinking about having a chance to find out which military camp Lin Yue was in, the corner of her clothes was touched by Shuangbai. Su Ningxin looked up at Shuangbai and saw Shuangbai using his eyes to signal her to look outside.
Su Ningxin looked outside and saw a familiar face. It was Zhong Xiyan. He was dressed as an ordinary person and was not noticeable like other people who came to watch polo.
After being separated from them in Xingyuan Mansion, I thought that I would follow Mr. Su San to take up a post in Jiangning Mansion later in the year, so I asked the escort agency to slowly move to Xingyuan Mansion. As a result, my ancestor died, and I could only write a letter to let them know. On call.
After marrying Chu Jihan, he asked them to go to Daming Mansion. He didn't expect to arrive so soon.
Su Ningxin nodded slightly at him to indicate that she understood, and then told Shuangbai, "When I came here just now, I smelled the smell of osmanthus cake in the pastry shop. Go buy some for me and bring it back. Do you remember the way?"
"Remember, the taste is so sweet, the slave is also very greedy." Shuangbai said with a smile.
"Then buy more and give some to the guards to eat." Su Ningxin said casually, and the guards guarding the door immediately bowed and thanked them.
After Shuangbai went out, Mo Xiang came back with a fruit plate. When asked about Shuangbai's whereabouts, Su Ningxin said casually, "I want to eat some cakes, let her buy them. Whose young master are these polo players below?" ah?"
Mo Xiang was completely unaware and dutifully told Su Ningxin where the young man who was playing polo in the polo field came from and what his family background was.
Su Ningxin listened carefully and compared these people with the news she had known before. Compared with the capital where there were many civil servants and royal families, and the northern border where there were more military generals, the status of the civil servants here was actually lower.
After Shuangbai came back, she looked at Su Ningxin. Knowing that Shuangbai had met Zhong Xiyan, Su Ningxin felt relieved. In the future, it would be much easier to do things with her own manpower outside the house.
At noon, Su Ning didn't want to go back home early, so she found a famous restaurant in the city for dinner.
"Prince Concubine, the shopkeeper has said that they have room. I asked them to make a room." Mo Xiang said with some embarrassment.
Prince Anjun's palace has a very good reputation in Daming Mansion, and the prince has never allowed people in the palace to bully others. However, the imperial concubine is so delicate that it would be okay to pay a little more to let the restaurant give up a private room.
After all, she is the princess of the county prince's palace, so she can't show her face in the lobby.
However, Su Ningxin waved her hands indifferently, "Forget about the incest room, let's just switch to another house. Why do we have to let others not have a good meal?"
Su Ningxin was not very familiar with Daming Mansion. This restaurant was said by the guards to be quite famous, so she didn't have to go to this restaurant.
When she turned to leave, Su Ningxin saw Lin Yue who was entering the restaurant, still dressed as a general. The two looked at each other and quickly looked away.
Taking two steps forward, Su Ningxin suddenly said, "How far is the next restaurant? My legs hurt from riding a horse. If it's too far, forget it. Let's make do in the lobby."
Before Mo Xiang could speak, Shuangbai said, "Then go and ask the shopkeeper to reserve a seat in the lobby. Don't even have a place to sit in the lobby."
Mo Xiang murmured in his heart, as expected, it was Miss Jiaojiao from the capital. She was a bit of a showman when riding a horse. She had only walked a few steps and it was too late. She didn't think about anything else.
Su Ningxin and the two maids sat at the same table, and the other four guards arranged the table for them. They sat down and waited for the waiter to serve the food. The table next to them was naturally Lin Yue and his party.
From the moment they looked at each other, Su Ningxin knew that Lin Yue's coming here was probably no coincidence. He probably came here specifically to see her for something.
Su Ningxin just remembered her, so he stayed to see what happened to her. It was impossible for Zuo Zuo to assassinate him because he couldn't stand his previous arrogance.
Su Ningxin listened to the content of the chat at the next table. Most of them were about matters in the army. Judging from their appearance, they should be of high rank in the army.
It is estimated that they still don't know the secret of Lin Yue's daughter's identity, nor do they know Lin Yue's true purpose of coming to the restaurant.
Soon the waiter brought the wine and food. At this time, Su Ningxin and Lin Yue glanced at each other and passed each other. Then Su Ningxin saw a copper coin fall out of Lin Yue's sleeve as the waiter moved.
Su Ningxin said to Mo Xiang, "How can you eat while wearing a veil? I forgot about it." She quickly traced her fingers on the purse at her waist, cut the strap of the purse, and let the purse fall. on the ground.
The frost whitening that had been paying attention to Su Ningxin and Concubine Yu was also very fast, "The prince's concubine lost her purse."
As she spoke, she bent down to pick it up. While picking up her purse, her other hand held the inconspicuous copper coin on the ground without leaving a trace.
Su Ningxin reached out to take the purse and said with a smile, "I don't know when the knot got loose. I'll ask Shuanghua to make a new knot when I get back."
"Miss Shuanghua is worthy of being born in the Hou family. Her hands are so nimble." Mo Xiang looked at the purse in Su Ningxin's hand and praised her.
Su Ningxin seemed very helpful. After all, praising her maid was equivalent to praising her, but she said modestly, "It's nothing, she just likes these gadgets."
Lin Yue, who was at the other table, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the copper coins being picked up and chatted with his comrades at the same table.
Lin Yue was not sure whether this plan would be successful. When she was in the palace, she only knew that Shuangbai beside Concubine Chen knew some boxing and kicking skills, so she thought she might be able to cooperate with her. But now she found that her skills were better than hers. It's much better to imagine.
Su Ningxin also acted as if nothing was wrong. She picked up a small amount of food with her chopsticks, carefully lifted the veil slightly and put it into her mouth, chewing and tasting it slowly.
After eating everything on the table, Su Ningxin put down her chopsticks.
Mo Xiang asked nervously, "Don't you agree?"
"I'm not used to the taste of the North, but the food in the palace is more palatable." Su Ningxin explained with a smile.
[Bah, a big crowd expects me to observe etiquette and not make any mistakes, and I have to take such small bites. No matter how delicious the food is, it will lose its taste. It’s better to wait until I come out in men’s clothing to taste it again.]
But Mo Xiang smiled clearly and said, "The Crown Princess doesn't know something. The Princess is from the capital, so most of the food prepared by the chefs in the palace is the taste of the capital. When the Crown Princess eats it, she feels that it is no different from the capital."
