"Brother, it was because I was ignorant that I said such childish things, please forgive my sister." Ning Qing slapped her hands in a blessing, her expression was natural and generous.
"Sister..." Ning Huaiyuan took a deep look at her, a strangeness flashed in his eyes, he stretched out his hand to help her, but found that this title that he could say casually before, was a bit speechless now, and he went dumb for a while. Only then did she speak again: "Third Sister, the past is in the past after all, we have all grown up, and it is no longer the past when we don't understand anything."
In the past, that innocent "sister" disappeared before she went to the nunnery, but the "sister" I saw this time turned out to be the wrong person!
Under the plum blossom tree, that slender figure turned out to be Ning Xueyan, who had never been out of Mingshuangyuan. Ning Huaiyuan still couldn't believe it. Today, his focus has been on Ning Xueyan, and he looked at it carefully. Several times, I still didn't see the appearance of the timid and inconspicuous little girl from her.
Whether it was dealing with Mrs. Tai or arguing with Ning Qingfan, she didn't seem to be timid at all.
The focus of attention was on Ning Xueyan, so he paid less attention to Ning Qingshan. Even when Ning Qingshan invited him over tonight, he didn't hesitate at all. Those things had really passed. Angry and annoyed, she even hoped that Ning Qingshan would never come back, but now that she thinks about it, she really feels so light.
But, those things are really over completely!
Feeling palpitations in his heart, Ning Huaiyuan took a sip from the teacup in his hand rather uncomfortably.
"Brother, do you really forgive me?" Ning Qing's eyes lit up, and a happy expression appeared on her face, as if because of Ning Huaiyuan's forgiveness, her whole body came alive in an instant, and said coquettishly, "Then elder brother still call me sister?" This reminds me of the scene where I secretly read a book with my elder brother."
She deliberately brought up the past, just to see Ning Huaiyuan's reaction.
"Third Sister, we've grown up now, so it's really inappropriate to use that kind of address." Ning Huaiyuan smiled gently, but didn't answer her next words, instead he taught her like an elder brother.
Is this estranged from her? A trace of gloom flashed in Ning Qing's eyes, but she just changed the subject with a smile, "Brother, I heard from the third prince that he comes to inquire about me every year, is it true?"
She was smiling like a flower, with a slight blush on her face, she looked like someone who heard about it, with a bit of shyness in her expression.
"Of course it is true. The third prince has always had a heart for the third sister. If the third sister can win the heart of the third prince, the father and grandmother are willing to let you be recorded in the mother's name and enter the third prince's residence as a more direct descendant." Ning Huaiyuan Thinking of what Mrs. Tai had said to him before, she collected her thoughts and said with a smile.
He and the fourth prince are on good terms, but the third prince can't let go. This is the decision of Ning Zu'an and Mrs. Tai. Although he doesn't think so, he still respects their ideas. Zuo just married a younger sister, and this If you are Ning Qingfan, no matter where you start from, this is the best one.
Writing down the name of Ling's name is of course better than writing down the name of Ming's, which will enhance Ning Qingshan's identity. This is what Ning Qingshan has always hoped for. The purpose of stepping on Mingshuangyuan on purpose as soon as she returns to the mansion is also to show Ling , so that Ling can see that he is biased towards her, and promote himself.
Only then can she truly be worthy of the third prince and become the third prince's official concubine!
Although she can marry the third prince with her current status, she is at most a side concubine. Ning Qingshan is bound to win the position of the main concubine. Now that Ning Huaiyuan has given her such a joy, she is of course ecstatic.
"Big Brother, Faner will definitely live up to Big Brother. In the future... I will definitely protect the Marquis' Mansion with all my strength." Ning Qingshan knows how to avoid the time of trial, and even more knows how to cast it on Li and repay it to Tao, otherwise it would not be possible in the The Marquis of Huguo's Mansion is like a fish in water. Hearing what Ning Huaiyuan said, he immediately replied softly.
If she is expected to be a queen in the future, she will definitely protect the Marquis of the Huguo Mansion with all her strength, this is a promise to the Marquis of the Huguo Mansion!
This is exactly what Mrs. Tai and Ning Zuan wanted!
"Two days later, the concubine Yagui will be present at the banquet. I hope that the third sister won Concubine Yagui's favor in one fell swoop, as she did three years ago. The third prince is not young!" Ning Huaiyuan said with a slight smile.
The reason why the third prince has not made an engagement is also related to the Marquis of the Huguo. The previous appointment was Ning Yuling, but there was Ning Ziyan in front of her, so she procrastinated. When Ning Ziyan got married, Hanshan Temple Today, Ning Yuling had an accident again, and her marriage with the third prince fell through, so no matter how you look at it, the third prince's marriage can no longer be dragged on.
In at most one year, the third prince's marriage will definitely be settled!
The heir to the throne left by the former emperor is Yi Wang Ao Chenyi, but of course the current emperor prefers his son, so both the emperor and the noble concubine hope that the third prince can give birth to a son as soon as possible. The chances of winning are greater. Of course, this also requires that the family of the third prince and concubine must also have strength.
It is indeed the most appropriate time for Ning Qingfan to come back at this time!
"Thank you, brother, for your reminder. Don't worry, fan will live up to what you entrusted." Ning Qing said with a smile, her eyes showing a hint of complacency and determination. She had been with the third prince for three years. Although she hadn't seen each other in these three years, she always Pay attention to the information of the third prince, and let people inadvertently reveal the news that she is devoting herself to practice in the nunnery, and let people spread a few of her poems in private.
The poems revealed deep thoughts about certain things, and these things happened to her and the third prince three years ago.
That deep affection has been infiltrating the third prince's side in the past three years. Otherwise, even if Concubine Ya Gui always remembered her, how could the third prince take her too seriously? It's true!
"Third Sister, if you need anything, just ask Grandmother." When the matter came to this point, it was already a happy time between the host and the guest. Ning Huaiyuan stood up and was about to leave. Although they were brothers and sisters, they were not related by blood. You can't stay too long.
"Brother, why is mother in the Buddhist hall?" Ning Qingfan stood up and seemed to see Ning Huaiyuan off, as if asking about Ling Shi unexpectedly. She even said that she would visit Ling Shi in the afternoon, but Mrs. Tai didn't let her See, it was said that Mrs. Ling was going to recite the Buddha for a few more days, and Ning Huaiyuan was there at that time.
"Mother is in a bad mood because of the second sister, third sister don't mind." Ning Huaiyuan's eyes flashed with displeasure, of course he didn't believe that Ning Qingshan couldn't see that her mother was punished by her grandmother in the Buddhist hall.
Seeing that Ning Huaiyuan was obviously unwilling to bring up this topic, Ning Jingfan did not bring it up sensibly. When the conversation changed, she raised her soft white face and said with a smile: "Brother, our Fifth Younger Sister is now a big surprise. Impermanence, the second younger sister who is so amazingly talented and gorgeous is so scattered, but the fifth younger sister who is the thinnest and most inconspicuous rises up instead."
This is very ingenious, listening to it together, it seems that Ning Xueyan is stepping on Ning Yuling's position!
A glint of coldness flashed across Ning Huaiyuan's eyes, he flicked his sleeves, and without saying a word, he just flung them away, not only Ning Qingfan was talking, but Ning Ziyan was talking, and Nanny Chen who was beside her mother was talking. Everyone has been mistaken, Ning Xueyan is the most powerful one.
How could Ning Huaiyuan let his mother and sister suffer like this in just one or two months!
"Miss, is the eldest son angry again?" Xia'er asked suspiciously behind Ning Qingfan, this scene is very similar to that year.
A sneer appeared on Ning Qing's face: "Brother is angry, but he is not angry with me!"
What happened to his mother and sister, how could Ning Huaiyuan let Ning Xueyan go, Ning Huaiyuan dealt with it in front of him, and he secretly contributed to the flames, and it was extremely easy to kill Ning Xueyan.
Of course, Ning Xueyan met Ning Qingshan for the first time without knowing it. Ning Qingshan was plotting to kill her. She is not in the Hou Mansion now, and she secretly left the mansion after dinner. With such a skilled maid like Xinmei by her side, it is no longer difficult to leave the Huguohou's Mansion.
Putting on the servant's clothes, Xinmei turned over the wall, this time there was no carriage ready outside, because the fact that she came out secretly had nothing to do with Ao Chenyi.
"Girl, is it okay for us to go out like this?" Xinmei looked around anxiously. She is now guarding Ning Xueyan's safety, so she is very careful.
The section of road they are walking now, although it is night, there are many pedestrians on the street, and the street illuminated by lights is as bright as day. This is the most prosperous section in central Beijing. There are many shops and people from all walks of life.
"It's okay, don't worry, no one will notice us, don't get too close to me, just follow me from a distance." Ning Xueyan straightened the boy's cap on her head, and joked to Xinmei who was following beside her Said, "A young man and a maid, walking together at night, will be very eye-catching."
"Girl, why don't you change your maid's attire, so at least it's normal for a slave to walk with you, and it won't attract people's suspicion." Xinmei stepped back obediently, but still couldn't help asking, she I really don't understand why the girl is so fond of acting as a servant. I heard from Lan Ning that she also played the servant in Hanshan Temple last time, and almost had an accident.
"What I want to meet is a man. If it's a girl, others will doubt if it's a girl from some other family. She doesn't abide by the boudoir precepts and has private meetings with others." Ning Xue narrowed her eyes and smiled.
Having a private meeting with a man, Xinmei's heart couldn't help but twitched wildly, her heart was frightened, her eyes widened suddenly, she looked at Ning Xueyan in amazement and asked almost in disbelief: "Girl, you... would you still like me?" Private meeting man, if the prince knows about this, but... what should I do?"
"It's not a private meeting, I have something to do. As for King Yi, I don't think this matter has anything to do with him!" Ning Xueyan said flatly.
"But...but you are the prince's concubine, this status!" Xinmei reminded her.
"Isn't that fake! You won't care if the lord is not here, and I won't care either. This is an agreement between the lord and me, as long as the lord shows up when needed." Seeing Xinmei's nervous eyes staring out, Ning Xueyan lightly She laughed, gave her a sideways glance, and said disapprovingly, "Don't worry, the prince won't care about such trivial matters!"
"It's really okay?" Although she felt that Ning Xueyan was right, Xinmei always felt a little weird.
"Yes, don't worry!" Ning Xueyan winked at her mischievously, before she could speak, she suddenly saw Xinmei staring at her back with wide eyes in astonishment.
Sensing a dangerous situation, Ning Xueyan couldn't stop, turned her head to look, she had bumped into something, she couldn't stand immediately, and stepped back...
On the tall building opposite, a handsome man was standing in front of the window, his eyes narrowed coldly.
