Chapter 905 Meeting
Tang Xiu smiled and accepted the order, and quickly went to send back the post.
Ji Yun then asked: "What are you going to do, princess? Duke Chang is a veteran of civilized government and public affairs since the Northern Hebei Kingdom. The Holy Emperor didn't touch a hair of Duke Chang at first. If he doesn't do it well, I'm afraid that Duke Chang will be angry and join forces." I’m afraid it won’t be good for the veterans from Northern Hebei to deal with us together.”
"If it had been left to earlier years, it was indeed possible for Duke Chang Guo to do this. But now the situation in the court has long been different. Not to mention, in the eyes of outsiders, I am afraid that my father is an example. The factions in the court originally, No matter whether you are an old minister from Northern Hebei or from a distinguished family, don't you understand when you see the mainstay of the surrender faction of the Great Yan Dynasty meet such an end, and even the Holy Emperor refuses to even reward him with honors and honors after his death?"
"You mean that the Changguo Guild chose to keep a low profile and suffered this loss?"
Qin Yining nodded slowly, "Not to mention the arrest is his youngest son, even if it is his legitimate son or grandson, he would not dare to do anything at this juncture."
Qin Yining couldn't help but laugh again when he said this, "You can find out by reading the post sent by Mrs. Chang Guo."
Ji Yun was stunned, "That's right. I think too much."
Qin Yining shook his head, took Ji Yun's hand and smiled: "You are thinking about me wholeheartedly. I understand in my heart."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Qin Yining smiled and said: "When you go out and walk around these days, pay attention to some situations in the court. There are some things that we don't know outside."
"Yes, slave will pay attention."
After everything was arranged, Qin Yining and Bingtang stayed in the house to do needlework.
She made a list to buy some elegant, soft and comfortable Hangzhou silk and cocoon silk to make clothes for Brother Zhao and Brother Han.
The children were not around, but they were growing in her mind every day. She imagined how they would look like when they grew up, and even if she didn't have the chance to wear them in the future, it would still be a piece of her heart.
time flies.
In the afternoon, Qin Yining took a nap for a while. He had just finished washing up when a cloud came from outside and said, "Princess, Mrs. Chang Guo wants to see you. She is in the flower hall at this time."
"I know." Qin Yining stood up, "Both of you, please follow me."
"Yes." Bingtang and Jiyun responded in unison.
Bingtang asked: "Princess, don't you need to change your clothes?"
Qin Yining lowered his head and looked at himself. He was wearing an azure plain mandarin coat, a lotus white long skirt, and the only jewelry on his body was a white jade bracelet on his wrist and a silver hairpin used to fix his hair in a bun on his head.
Qin Yining thought for a while and put on a black mink fur collar and lotus petal tapestry cloak that she rarely wore.
The tapestry on this cloak is exquisite and delicate, the color is simple and elegant, and the mink velvet on the shoulders is black and shiny. Qin Yining loves it so much that he is reluctant to wear it.
The originally casual outfit was paired with such a precious cloak. Even without heavy makeup and gold hairpins and pearls, she still looked noble and would not lose her status as Princess Zhongshun.
Qin Yining led the two maids to the corridor, thinking about what might happen next. When she arrived at the flower hall, she had already prepared her emotions and walked in first with an expressionless face.
He saw a plump woman who was over sixty years old, wearing a bird-blue double-breasted long-sleeved cloak, a green hairpin on her head, and her gray hair neatly rolled up, sitting on one side. Her car is noble and elegant. Although she is older, she can still be seen as a gentle woman with a good background.
Behind her was an elderly nun, a young daughter-in-law, and no one else.
Seeing Qin Yining enter, Mrs. Chang Guogong stood up and her eyes fell on Qin Yining with surprise. However, her eyes were very polite and restrained, without any rudeness or discomfort.
Qin Yining smiled slightly: "Is this Mrs. Chang Guogong? Please take a seat."
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Mrs. Changguo saluted, "In terms of dignity, I should pay my respects to the princess."
"In other words, Chang Guo's public morality is highly respected, and you are the elder. The younger generation cannot bear your courtesy." Qin Yining turned sideways to avoid her courtesy, supported him with both hands, and humbly let people sit down. He turned around and ordered: "Serve good tea. "
"Yes." Ji Yun quickly went down to prepare, and soon he brought up the blue and white tureen.
Mrs. Chang Guogong couldn't help but resent Shang Zhihua even more when she saw that Qin Yining was treating guests gently and not being as barbaric and domineering as she imagined.
Shang Zhihua was the forty-year-old son of Mrs. Chang Guo. She almost lost half her life for this son. She finally raised him peacefully, but who would have thought that he was a man who played tricks on cats and dogs but was unmotivated.
He usually drinks wine, gambles, and fights with crickets and cocks. She has already broken many of the canes she had disciplined. He likes his cousin, and because of the unpleasantness between his cousin and his wife, in order to calm him down, she also She reluctantly became a bad mother-in-law and allowed her cousin to come in and become a concubine.
But he didn't expect that after he got the person, he would start acting like a monster again after a few days. There is no mercy in Huajie Liuxiang, but this time he dared to molest Pang Zhixi’s evil wife in the street!
After seeing her today, the people of the Duke of Chang Kingdom had to admit that the woman in front of her was so beautiful that she couldn't help but want to look at it more. Going back forty or fifty years, her appearance in her youth could be considered dignified. But she is not as good as one of her ten. This is a woman who can make men fascinated, so the talented Prince Zhongshun dared to resist her imperial edict.
Now, her stupid son who has no clue is also caught.
Mrs. Changguo sighed heartily.
Although she was a little helpless, she had no resentment towards Qin Yining. Is it wrong for a girl to be born pretty? There are many men who have seen Qin Yining, and not all of them tease her in front of her like her useless son. In the final analysis, my son still failed to live up to expectations.
If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to give that boy a good punishment and take the opportunity to correct him, we don't know how much trouble he will cause in the future.
So this time, Mrs. Chang Guo Gong came to plead for mercy. It was a sincere apology and reconciliation. She didn't care what Chang Guo Gong thought. Anyway, as a mother, she already regretted her doting on her youngest son.
"Princess, I have come here today because of my useless son. I know that it was him who bumped into the princess this time, and everything is his fault. It was my failure as a mother to fail to teach him well. I sincerely apologize to you."
Mrs. Chang Guogong stood up and knelt down to salute.
The old woman and daughter-in-law behind Mrs. Chang Guo also saluted.
Qin Yining hurriedly stood up and helped her, not letting her bow down. He helped her sit down again and said calmly: "Mrs. Chang Guo has a motherly heart, I understand."
Mrs. Chang Guogong sat back to the seat where she had just been. One look at Qin Yining's expressionless face and she knew that her family card was ineffective.
Her apology was sincere, but it was also planned to impress the other person.
I didn't expect that this princess, who had just turned 20 years old, could be so stable and unmoved by external things.
Mrs. Chang Guogong remembered what Chang Guogong said when she went out.
"Zhipan'an's daughter is not an ordinary woman. Dealing with her is different from dealing with ordinary women. After you go, just apologize sincerely and don't play with your petty thoughts. Now we are already walking on thin ice. If you want Xiao Jiuer's life, just You have to follow her."
Mrs. Changguo Gong's heart trembled, and she began to regret what she had just done.
She was used to rolling around in the inner house, so she would use her usual tricks inadvertently.
"Princess, calm down." Mrs. Chang Guogong said eagerly, "It's all because of his incompetence in educating his children that he has become lawless. The princess is a daughter of a serious official family and has a noble status. How can she tolerate such evil words and insults? It's all wrong. It’s all the fault of that evildoer. The princess can’t help but catch him, but I still ask the princess to punish him severely. When he gets angry, she can allow me to take him home and discipline him strictly.”
Qin Yining looked at Mrs. Chang Guo's fearful expression for her son, and couldn't bear it.
If she is domineering and unreasonable, she has many ways to teach them a lesson today while still achieving her own goals.
But facing such a woman, those plans suddenly couldn't bear to be implemented.
"That's all." Qin Yining said, "Mrs. Chang Guo is an innocent person after all. As the saying goes, it's the fault of a father who doesn't raise him well. Although your son is your youngest son, the current world is a world of monarchy and paternal power. Even if you think about it, Mrs. Chang Guo will Teach him well and wholeheartedly, and the world will not allow him to stay with a woman like you all day long."
As soon as these words were said, Mrs. Changguo felt sad and almost shed tears.
After all, women understand women best. What Qin Yining said was exactly what made her embarrassed.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "I don't want to embarrass you today. The fault of this lax discipline is the fault of Duke Chang. I intend to have a confidential talk with Duke Chang. If the Duke's wife can tell the story on my behalf and arrange it properly, the son's affairs will be easily handled. .”
On the other hand, if Mrs. Chang Guogong cannot comply with the request and publicizes the matter, it is not certain what the outcome will be for the Ninth Young Master. After all, molesting the princess is a serious crime. Even if Qin Yining kills him, with his status as Pang Xiao, Duke Chang Guo really can't do anything to her.
Mrs. Chang Guogong's heart was beating fast and she looked at Qin Yining in surprise.
She vaguely smelled a hint of conspiracy.
Looking at Qin Yining's bright face and her confident expression, Mrs. Chang Guogong hesitated for a moment and could only nod.
"Okay, I will definitely pass on the news and make sure that the people around me will not leak the news."
"Mrs. Chang Guo is a smart person, so it will be easier for everyone. If Duke Chang agrees, I will tell you how to make the appointment."
"Yes." Mrs. Chang Guogong stood up and saluted: "In that case, I take my leave. There is no circle. For the crime of bumping into the princess, I hope the princess will give him some mercy for two days."
Qin Yining understood that Mrs. Chang Guogong was afraid that the Ninth Young Master would be killed by her before they could discuss the reason.
Qin Yining naturally would not do such a thing, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, since you are willing to agree, I won't do anything wrong."
