Chapter 139 (2/2)

”Oh The little girl is very pretty, spit out her tongue, showing a shy smile, ”second miss, please come with the maid.”

Yan Jinning nodded slightly and followed her in.

She had never been to the palace before, and she was not familiar with the environment inside. She had just reached the middle of the road when the princess Qinghe, who was talking to people not far ahead, found her and ran over happily, ”Ning'er!”

Yan Jinning stops.

Princess Qinghe ran over with her skirt in her hand. ”Are you here? I thought your family would not come today

She has a forthright disposition. Sometimes she doesn't think too much about her words. She just responds when she speaks, and she stops in embarrassment.

Yan Jinning knew her innocent temper, and naturally would not care. She said with a smile, ”grandmother and mother are in a bad mood recently, so let me come here.”

”Yes! A lot of people are coming today The main road of Qinghe County.

Along the road, many people were walking in the flower hall in the backyard. She pointed to several people to show Yan Jinning, and then said, ”when I came with my mother's concubine just now, I met the empress, the prince and his royal highness. They all came.”

Si Tu Ming did not come because of his position, and he was ordered by the emperor to think about it for three months, but he has not been released.

”It should be!” Yan Jinning smiles, ”the king's wife is the grandmother of the two royal Highnesses. Naturally, their feelings are different.”

Princess Qinghe didn't see Yan Jinning for some days. She was very happy and wanted to take her to whisper. When she looked up, she saw the little girl standing beside her and said, ”I know the way to the flower hall. I'll go with Ning'er later. Go and greet others.”

”Oh The little girl nodded, as if she hesitated for a moment, but she didn't stop and walked away obediently.

When Princess Qinghe had gone far away, she took Yan Jinning's hand a little embarrassed and said, ”recently, I want to find you to play, but something happened to your family. It's not convenient.”

”Yes! My grandmother and mother are in poor health. I haven't been out for a long time Yan Jinning road.

In fact, with the temperament of Princess Qinghe, she may not think too much, but Princess Zhao and situ Haichen will certainly look at her.

”Let's go to the garden for tea and chat. It's still early. It will take more than an hour for the banquet to start.” Qinghe County main road, take Yan Jinning's hand to the garden ahead.

At that time, there were many people in the garden. In addition to the queen Cong, another concubine who was already in the imperial position, and two other lower ranking concubines came.

”There are so many people coming today.” Yan Jinning road.

According to her understanding of situ yuan and the lady of the state, they were not the people who should like such a lively life. Besides, the lady of the Duke of the state was still seriously ill. How could she stand such a fuss?

”Not at all!” The princess of Qinghe took her to sit down on the porch where there was no one nearby. She broke her fingers and counted one by one, ”not only several maidens have come, but also the princesses of each palace. My mother's wife went to the side hall to talk with them

She said, then dim look, face has unbearable, ”Ning Er, you know, my mother said, I'm afraid the country's Madame is not nearly finished...”

Yan Jinning quickly glanced at these people in the garden, and suddenly felt strange in his heart. At the same time, he saw Prince situ Chen come out from the flower hall.

”Prince...” Yan Jinning pondered, ”why didn't you see the princess with him? Is the princess with the queen? ”

”The princess is ill!” The princess Qinghe said casually: ”it seems that I haven't been out for a while, and on such an occasion today, the crown prince certainly can't bring his side concubine here, so he can only come by himself.”

”Is the princess ill?” Yan Jinning thought about it for a moment, and then remembered that the prince went to the banquet in Princess Nankang's mansion on March 12. Later, she seemed to hear someone say that the princess was ill.She didn't think much at that time, but now she thinks things are strange.

Princess Qinghe saw that her eyebrows were deeply locked and she was out of her mind. She pulled her sleeve and looked around to see that there was no outsider. Then she whispered: ”the princess seems to have been ill for a long time. There are a lot of people in the back yard of the prince. My mother said that the princess was ill It's probably a bit of a greasy business. ”

In the backyard of an aristocratic family, there is always fighting, not to mention the prince.

He is the prince, the future emperor, and the women in his backyard should try their best to climb up.

”It's not a year or two since the prince and princess were married. There's no defense at all.” Yan Jinning did not say much, just casually perfunctory.

”Then I don't know.” Princess Qinghe shook her head. ”It's possible that she's really ill. It's been so long. If it's really for other reasons, how can you find out? There is no movement in their house Who knows! ”

It's really annoying to see these backstage women fighting openly and secretly.

Princess Qinghe was not interested in these things either, so they changed the subject and talked about the clothes and jewelry and the new flowers they were embroidering recently. They were having a lively conversation. At the other end of the corridor, mother Huang just passed by.

Yan Jinning takes a look at it.

”Why! Are you here, princess Mother Huang came to Qinghe County and said with a smile, ”the princess has been looking for you everywhere just now. It seems that something has happened.”

”My mother is looking for me?” Princess Qinghe is not in good health. Princess Zhao will take her with her every time she goes out. Otherwise, she will be worried.

Think about oneself also left for a while, Princess Qinghe stood up and said: ”Ning'er, wait for me for a while, I'll go and tell my mother Princess, I'll come back to you right away!”

”Good!” Yan Jinning nodded with a smile.

The princess of Qinghe left quickly with the girl.

Yan Jinning then tidied up her skirt and stood up. Looking at her mother, she said, ”what can I do for you?”

Huang's mother was stunned and her smile froze on her face.

this second lady is really smart. It can be seen that she deliberately took away Princess Qinghe?

She couldn't help looking at Yan Jinning, then bowed her knees respectfully and said truthfully, ”if Miss has nothing else to do, can you follow the old slave? Our old lady wants to see you

”Madame the Duke?” Yan Jinning frowned suspiciously.

She didn't worry that Huang's mother would cheat her in the name of his wife, but what was the reason for her so much trouble in asking her to go there?

Mother Huang didn't say much, just waiting for her answer.

Yan Jinning thought a little, but he didn't delay much time. He nodded, ”good! Thank you, mother

Huang's mother smiles, turns around and takes her to the residence of the Duke and wife in the backyard.

Two people quickly turn the end of the corridor, this side of the flower hall, just Nianyu holding Congrong out of the inside.

Nianyu raised her head and recognized her mother Huang's back at a glance. Then she thought that Yan Jinning was the one who followed her. She couldn't help tightening a string.

”Miss!” She called Congrong in a hurry.

”Yes?” Congrong turns back and hands her a look of inquiry.

Nianyu looked at her dignified and magnanimous expression, suddenly changed her mind and said, ”be careful of the threshold. This skirt is a little long today.”

”Oh Congrong obviously didn't think much about it. The master and servant went to the kitchen, but they didn't notice. Behind the flowers and trees here, a pair of sharp and bright eyes were half hidden. Staring at their backs, Congrong showed a meaningful but obviously malicious smile.

Yan Jinning followed Huang's mother to the courtyard where his wife lived. The style of the courtyard was the same as that of the lady herself. The style of the courtyard was calm and grand. There was not much gorgeous decoration, but there was no element in it.

At that time, the big gardens in the front yard and the backyard were very busy. However, the courtyard was far away from the noise. It was extremely quiet. When the two sides were compared, people would feel strange and out of place.

”Don't mind, miss. Our old lady is old and doesn't like noise.” Huang explained.

Yan Jinning collected his mind and nodded slightly. Huang's mother had opened the door and led her in.

The servants in the courtyard of the Duke and wife should have been set aside in advance, and she was alone. Moreover, the banquet will be held in a few hours. She, the leading character of today, has not changed her clothes. She is still wearing her usual clothes, leaning against the Kang of the warm Pavilion and keeping her eyes closed.

”Old lady?” Mother Huang went over and gave a light call.

The old lady opened her eyes and looked up.

”Yan Jinning has met his wife!” Yan Jinning stepped forward two steps and bowed his knees.

The Duke's wife also did not cover up. She looked her up and down first, then beckoned and said, ”there is no outsider here. Don't be polite. Come and sit down.”

Yan Jinning thought about it in her heart. Without refusing, she went over and sat down by her hand.

Mother Huang retreated to the door to watch.The man in front of him was the one that situ yuan cared about most. When facing the Duke and wife of the state, Yan Jinning suddenly felt uneasy and nervous.

She secretly pinched the lower cuff, and was hesitating how to open her mouth to break the silence. However, the Duke and wife suddenly reached over and pressed the jade ring under her sleeve across the clothes and firmly grasped it.

Yan Jinning was surprised and looked up at her.

At this time, the smile on Mrs. Guo Gong's face has faded. Zhuang Su looks at her eyes, and her words are more direct and frank, which makes people confused. ”I just want to see how Ziyuan looks at people.”

There was not much kindness in her expression.

Yan Jinning, however, understood that the affair between her and situ yuan, even if the Duke and wife did not know, must have been aware of it.

For a moment, she couldn't understand the old man's mind. She just looked at her with a little bit of precaution in her eyes.

Mrs. Guo Gong's wife had been clinging to her wrist and seemed to be able to figure out what she was thinking. Then she said again, ”he didn't know I called you!”

And she also knows Cong Rong. When Cong Rong sees the list, she can definitely guess her mind, but the girl will never tell situ yuan that she knows.
