Quick wear: the host is so brave, and the blackened villain dares to tease

Chapter 751 Elegant Black-bellied Uncle vs Vengeful Princess (12)

Ning Xi frowned, and said helplessly, "Since father has made up his mind, why bother to say more, just marry my daughter."

After finishing speaking, she got up and left, leaving Ning Lie with a lonely back.

When Ning Lie saw her like this, the despairing eyes of his dead wife always flashed in his mind, and he felt even worse.

Since the Ning family and Qin Yuan's marriage was settled, Ning Xi has more freedom in going in and out of the county palace.

The little sister that the original owner met in Chang'an City happened to invite her to go shopping. She thought that she had nothing else to do on weekdays, so she accepted the invitation. As for the hard work of personally embroidering the wedding dress, of course it was left to the embroiderer.
As soon as she got off the carriage in front of Zhenbaoxuan, she saw Du Xiyao, the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department, approaching.

"Pingyang, you're here, it's really hard to ask you to go with me." Du Xiyao pursed her lips.

Ning Xi smiled, "This is not coming, is it possible to choose a hairpin and give it to you as an apology later?"

"It's almost there."

The two entered Zhenbaoxuan, and the aura of jewels and jewels suddenly hit them. After shopping for a while, they went to the tailor shop next door to choose clothes.

After a meal, I finally went to the restaurant box to chat and eat.

"Pingyang, you are going to get married soon, and it will be even more difficult to see you in the future."

Ning Xi put down her chopsticks when she heard Du Xiyao's words, "What?"

Her marriage to Qin Yuan is still a secret.
Could it be that Ning Borong passed it on?

Du Xiyao joked, "Why are you so surprised, are you shy?"

"I heard that your marriage with His Highness the Fourth Highness will be announced at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. As soon as I hear about it, I will invite you out immediately, so as to save you the trouble of seeing you once you enter the palace."

The smile on Ning Xi's face gradually froze.

"Xi Yao, who did you hear this from?"

Only then did Du Xiyao realize something was wrong, "Pingyang, you don't know about such a big event, do you?"

"No, isn't it your long-cherished wish to marry the Fourth Highness? I remember you have always liked him since you were a child."

"Looking at you now, why do you look unhappy?"

Ning Xi raised her forehead, "It will be some time before the Queen Mother's birthday, I really don't know about it."

Du Xiyao thought for a while, and said: "Yesterday my mother went to pay her respects to the empress, and heard the empress mention it, but I didn't expect that you didn't know."

"By the way, what's going on between you and the Fourth Highness? I heard that you had a quarrel during the Shangsi Festival because of a maid surnamed Guo."

"Is this true?"

Ning Xi rested her chin with one hand, "Well, so I figured it out, the Fourth Highness is not a good couple."

Du Xiyao covered her mouth when she heard the words, "No way? That's just a court lady"

Ning Xi smiled, "If you marry the Fourth Highness, you may have to be jealous with a maid in the future."

"I'm the princess, I don't allow myself to be so humble."

Du Xiyao nodded, she would go crazy if she faced this kind of situation, but Ping Yang had a good relationship with the Fourth Highness since she was a child, she never thought it would become what it is today. Sigh.
On the way back to the Prince's Mansion, Ning Xi thought about it, and decided to have someone pass a message to Qin Yuan. This is not her business alone.

The queen sent such a signal through the Du family, presumably she wanted to urge the marriage.

If it wasn't for the emperor and the empress dowager, the empress might have issued a decree to marry Qin Rui long ago.

The emperor's intention is the eldest prince, if Qin Rui and Princess Pingyang get on the line, it will be extremely unfavorable for the eldest prince.

As for the queen mother, she was probably blinded by the halo of the heroine, and wanted the palace maid to be the princess.
The three parties were involved, which bought Ning Xi and Qin Yuan a lot of time.

What's difficult is that the queen is clearly threatening her. Could it be that the queen has inquired about her and Qin Yuan's affairs?
"Tongzi, help me find out what's going on with the queen."

[Host, has been detecting, Tongzi, I will help you call out the light screen now. ]
The first thing that appeared on the light screen was Qin Rui's figure, he was walking into Weiyang Palace, his face was a bit ugly.

He didn't adjust his facial expression until he saw Empress Chen.

"Mother, do you want to mention Erchen's marriage to Pingyang on the emperor's grandmother's birthday?"

"Yes."

"Is this too urgent?"

Empress Chen looked stern, "Too anxious? You don't even think about what you have done recently! You even provoked Pingyang for a court lady. Even though Ping Yangzi was arrogant, he would never have thought of rejecting this marriage before, but I How did you hear that she had other thoughts?"

What Ning Xi said flashed through Qin Rui's mind, she said that she had no feelings for her anymore.
Now facing the queen mother's questioning, a guilty conscience welled up.

Seeing that he was silent, Empress Chen slowed down her tone.

"Although Pingyang has liked you since he was a child, but this time the trouble was a bit big, so this palace decided to mention your marriage on the queen mother's birthday in one month, so as to stabilize Pingyang."

"In the next period of time, you should go to Pingyang to play more, or I will have to talk to the little palace lady Guo Zhi."

"Mother, don't make things difficult for Zhi'er, I will obey you." Qin Rui left in a daze.

……

Ning Xi learned about Qin Rui's mother and son's plan from Tong Zi, and received a batch of expensive clothes and jewelry sent by Qin Rui the next day.

Ning Xi glanced at it, Qin Rui is really thick-skinned, they should break up.

Moreover, when she is a poor ghost who can't even afford clothes and jewelry, do you think that with this little favor, she can coax her to turn around and circle around him?

"Come on, send these things back intact." Ning Xi waved her little hand.

It happened that Ning Borong came over and saw this scene, and looked at her with a ghostly expression.

"Are you sure you want to return the gift from His Royal Highness?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Ning Xi raised his chin at him.

Ning Borong is not doing well recently, being caught by Mrs. Liang all day long to see the official lady, even if she wants to go out of the house to find Guo Zhi, she has no choice.

Now I don't have the energy to argue with Ning Xi anymore.

Ning Xi was very satisfied with the figure of Ning Borong running away in desperation. This kind of person needs to be treated, otherwise he will be as annoying as a fly.

After rejecting Qin Rui's gift, she half-lyed on the wicker chair in the yard, feeling uneasy.

There is no news from Qin Yuan yet, so I don't know how he plans to solve it.

At the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, once rumors about her marriage with Qin Rui spread, it would not be long before it spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.

And she will fall into a passive position.

How could she be led by the nose by Qin Rui's people!
What if she finds an excuse not to attend the Queen Mother's birthday?

But that's never a good idea.

She couldn't be absent due to emotion and reason.

Due to the influence of the queen, her marriage with Qin Yuan cannot be announced until it is fully planned.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a hassle.

……

Within three days of the turmoil of returning gifts, Ning Xi received the news of Qin Rui's visit.

Arriving at the banquet living room of the Prince's Mansion, Qin Rui's eyes fell.

"Pingyang, you look good."
