In the lobby of Prince Ning's Mansion, three gorgeously dressed women sat respectfully. Princess Ning picked up a teacup and took a few sips casually before she said slowly: "What else do you sisters do? Go back if you have nothing to do."
One of the women in Chinese clothes said with a smile: "What did my sister say, the two daughters of General Bian Saiqu went to the city today to visit relatives, and they must have arrived at the gate of the palace. I have heard from the prince that the two girls are as beautiful as flowers. We A few of them really want to get to know each other."
Concubine Ning glanced at her, and said expressionlessly: "Aunt Liu is very well informed."
Aunt Liu smiled embarrassingly when she heard the words, clutched the handkerchief a little uneasy, and said nothing more.
After a while, Changzhen and Lingyao followed Nanny Xu to the lobby, and Nanny Xu blessed Princess Ning, then walked back and stood behind Princess Ning
"Chang Zhen pays respects to my aunt, and wishes her good health." Chang Zhen said politely, and saluted Princess Ning. Chang Zhen looked at the other women, and politely blessed her body, as a greeting.
"Ling Yao has also met my aunt, and I wish my aunt good health." Ling Yao smiled sweetly, and the bell on his wrist rang crisply.
Concubine Ning looked at Ling Yao in a purple dress outside the Great Wall with a dazed expression, as if seeing herself many years ago. Chang Zhen watched Princess Ning staring at Ling Yao without saying a word, as if she was lost in thought. He said softly, "What's wrong with my aunt?"
"I think of myself when I was young. At that time, I was like Ling Yao. I also came to the capital at this age wearing a costume outside the Great Wall. Speaking of which, it was the first time I saw Ling Yao. In the past, Zhen'er came to see me alone. "Princess Ning said calmly.
"Father said that I am not allowed to come to the capital under the age of fifteen, so it is my sister who comes." Ling Yao said seriously.
"Are you fifteen years old?" Princess Ning asked kindly.
"Isn't that the same age as the fourth girl?" Before Ling Yao could answer, a woman couldn't help but answer. As soon as she said this, other people also echoed, "Aunt Zhao is right, she is as old as Aunt Mo's girl." Then Aunt Liu asked: "How old is Miss Changzhen this year?"
"Chang Zhen is twenty this year." Chang Zhen replied.
"Ah, I'm already twenty, can I agree to it?" Aunt Hua beside Aunt Liu asked hurriedly.
"Never." Chang Zhen said calmly.
Concubine Ning looked at Aunt Hua with some displeasure, and said coldly: "If you want to see and see, then go back." Don't think she doesn't know what they are planning, although General Qu has been guarding outside the border for many years, But with a noble status, and being his elder brother, there are two unmarried young masters in the mansion, so they pay attention to Zhen'er.
"Yes, the younger sisters have retired." Seeing what Princess Ning said, Aunt Liu, Aunt Hua, and Aunt Zhao could only retreat reluctantly.
"Ling Yao, come here." Princess Ning waved to Ling Yao gently, and Ling Yao walked over. Princess Ning looked at Ling Yao carefully, patted Ling Yao's hand with a smile and said, "Good boy." Then she stood up, "The weather is fine today, please accompany me to the garden for a walk."
"Okay, aunt." Ling Yao looked back at Chang Zhen, Chang Zhen smiled and nodded towards Ling Yao, Ling Yao only thought that Princess Ning dragged her to the garden because it was her first time in the capital, and didn't think much about it. Ling Yao didn't know, Chang Zhen's expression changed instantly after she turned around.
Chang Zhen walked out of the lobby unhurriedly, whistled skillfully, and a white pigeon flew slowly with its wings flapping. Chang Zhen took the white pigeon and took out a piece of paper that she had written earlier from her cuff and tied it up. On the dove's leg. The white pigeon lowered its head and rubbed against Chang Zhen's palm, then flapped its wings and flew away.
"Father, Ling Yao and I have successfully entered the city." Chang Zhen said softly, she looked into the distance, and there was a trace of sarcasm in her plain eyes, "The imperial concubine should know we are here by now."
The maid behind Chang Zhen couldn't hear what Chang Zhen said, hesitated for a while and asked, "What did you just say?"
"It's nothing, take me to my room." Chang Zhen said calmly with his eyes lowered.
"Yes." The little maid said blessedly.
The famous Beili Pavilion in the city
"General Qu's daughter has entered the city, so early this year?" A black-clothed man in the attic was grinding ink and writing. He frowned when he heard the news from his subordinates, and looked up at the black-clothed man standing in front of his desk. People, a low voice slowly sounded in the attic.
"Yes, General Qu's youngest daughter, Qu Lingyao, has also come to the capital this year." The man in black reported truthfully.
"Oh? This is very interesting. Come on, go down." The man in black said, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth. General Qu is a cunning old fox who knows what Qu Lingyao means. For fifteen years He has always protected her very well, so that he can't get any news about her, but now he let Qu Lingyao go to Beijing.
The man in black stepped back after speaking.
The man in black was still practicing his handwriting patiently, and said for a while, "It seems that the sky in this capital is about to change."
In the elegant attic, except for the low voice of the man in Tsing Yi, everything is quiet. The man finished writing the last stroke and said in a low voice: "If that fellow Qiuri hadn't snatched the Jade Heart Sutra, don't bother me to copy a copy for the little girl. Thinking about Qiuri like this is really hateful!"
In addition to the man in black, Yang Tingjing also received the news that General Qu's daughter had entered the city. When he heard that Qu Changzhen and Qu Lingyao had come to Prince Ning's Mansion together, Yang Tingjing seemed to have complicated emotions in his eyes. He ordered: "Always pay attention to Prince Ning's Mansion, and also, pay attention to the person in the palace."
The one in the palace naturally refers to the emperor. Although the emperor doesn't know what Qu Lingyao represents, but in the past when the flower festival came, only Qu Changzhen came alone. Now that there is such a person, it is difficult for the emperor not to be suspicious. . At that time, General Qu was originally a great general protecting the country. The emperor was afraid of his great achievements and always thought of banning his power. It was a colder place than Mobei. When General Qu left with Qu Changzhen, Qu Changzhen was only two years old, and Qu Lingyao hadn't even been born yet.
"Yes." The spy replied and left.
Yang Tingjing's expression was cold. He knew that Qu Changzhen was not a simple person. She was slick and good at collecting information, and Qu Lingyao, who seemed innocent and innocent, was even more not a simple person. Behind her and what she represented This is Luoge who can stand side by side with Chuge back then!
