Peerless little medical concubine

Chapter 156 Birthday Banquet

"Miss, it's good that you're fine. Every time you go out, you don't bring your servants with you, and you don't have a caretaker by your side. It's really worrying." After returning to Ning Mansion for three days, Ning Erlan listened to Xinyue's chanting. It's about to give birth to cocoons.

"I'm fine, it's just an accident." Ning Erlan caressed the wound on her body, seemingly indifferent.

"No one had any accidents, but an accident happened to the young lady. The servant feels that the young lady should not go to these places in the future."

"It's not up to me to decide this. Well, stop nagging and help me get the medical books."

Xinyue didn't say any more, turned around and gave her the medical book, and then retreated.

"Miss." Not long after, Xinchen opened the curtain and came in.

Ning Erlan knew from her expression that she had something to say. "Just say what you have, so why hide it."

Xinchen stepped forward and lowered her voice. "Miss, Aunt Lin disappeared that day after she was beaten and thrown out of the house."

"Missing? Didn't someone from the Lin family come to take her away?" The old lady was certainly angry, but Aunt Lin had served her by her side for over ten years, saying that it was impossible to have no feelings at all.

"The servant girl learned from the guard at the gate that it seems that the person who took Aunt Lin away was not from the Lin family."

"Not from the Lin family?" Ning Erlan closed the medical book in her hand, frowned slightly and muttered.

"Yes."

"I see, you go down." Gently rubbing the silk quilt on her body, Ning Erlan slowly closed her eyes.

A month later, Bianjing had already seen a light snowfall, and the refreshing coolness made people unwilling to leave the house for even half a step.

But today's Ning Mansion is busier than before.Everyone in Jingyu Academy was busy in a hurry.

The charcoal fire in the house is "crackling", and the heating that is bred is as warm as spring.

In front of the mahogany carved dressing table, Ning Erlan sat quietly, watching Xinyue tie up her long hair at the back of her head little by little.

"Miss is doing the ceremony today, it is finally time to get married."

In the mirror, Ning Erlan smiled. "It looks like you're married if you keep your mouth shut. Don't you think it's boring to be with me and want to get married?"

Xinyue was blushed. "Miss just likes the slave to make jokes, and the slave must serve the miss for the rest of her life without getting married."

"Miss, I can't wait to see Sister Xinyue, you have to be more careful in the past, maybe Sister Xinyue has a sweetheart."

"Well, you little girl, you dare to start a joke on me."

There was laughter in the room, Ning Erlan chuckled nonchalantly, and looked up at herself in the mirror.This is a delicate face full of youthful vigor, especially the pair of blue spring eyes that catch people's attention at a glance, and there are thousands of amorous feelings flowing between smiles and frowns.

Daqin’s hairpin ceremony is not that complicated, it’s just to bow down to the ancestral hall and meet the elders, and it’s considered a gift to ask the birth mother to present a hairpin that symbolizes adulthood.

During this period of time, Wen's body has recovered a lot, and it is not much different from ordinary people, but it is still relatively weak, but it will not cause serious problems after recuperating slowly.

In the ancestral hall of the Ning Mansion, Wen looked at his daughter who had become more and more beautiful with a loving face, and the smile on her face was full of relief.Gently pinning the White Jade Hairpin of Dragon and Phoenix Double Happiness in her hand into her hair.

"Mother's Lan'er has grown up..." Helping Ning Erlan up, the circles of her eyes were slightly red.Growing up means getting married, and eventually leaving her side.

"Mother, my daughter will always be my mother's good daughter, no matter when."

"Well, mother knows."

"Looking at your gift, grandma doesn't have anything to give, so you can keep this pair of jade pendants well." The old lady was annoyed when she saw that Ning Erlan only had Wen's in her eyes, but she still had to put on a show to let her go. A person takes out a gift that is neither light nor heavy.

Ning Guoan also gave a pair of gold hairpins, which is considered a gift.

"My lord, my lord, a report from the palace says that the empress's birthday will be three days away, and the emperor will hold a grand banquet in which all civil and military officials will attend. This messenger has sent invitations." A servant hurried in and shouted loudly. news reports.

Hearing this, Ning Guoan and the old lady were overjoyed. "Quickly invite the people in the palace to come in and go to the welcoming hall."

"Old lady, it's inconvenient for my daughter-in-law to go when she's unwell."

The old lady didn't have the mind to pay attention to them at this time, so she waved her hand to let them go away.

Walking out of the ancestral hall, the mother and daughter are in a party of three. "Mother seems to have improved a lot during this period of time. In the past, I can also walk around more, which is good for my health."

"I know, I feel better eating the recipe you made me than taking those medicines."

"Mother, my sister is so powerful, your body will definitely be fine."

Ning Erlan stroked Ning Caixin's black hair distressedly. "Caixin looks a lot taller than before."

"Then Lao Shizi's palace banquet, you can find a reason not to go."

"Mother, why did my daughter ever want to go, I'm afraid that some things are simply out of our control."

How could the Wen family not know this truth, and Ning Guoan and the old lady's temperament, how could they let her miss this opportunity.

"You have to be careful yourself, some people can avoid them if they can."

"I know."

Ning Erlan sent the two of them back to the courtyard before getting up and leaving. As soon as she answered the courtyard, Xinyue took the note from Zhao Laosan to her.

After she came back from her injury, she asked Laosan Zhao to investigate the events of that day in secret. Since someone had done something, she wasn't afraid to find any clues.

After reading the note, throw it into the charcoal basin.Zhao Laosan did find out that one day he deliberately released wild wolves like a forest, but those people suddenly died suddenly not long after. As for the five men in black, it was even more difficult to find out where they came from. Could it be that the traces were really wiped out like this? clean?

It's not like she didn't doubt Wei Biqin and Princess Wenhua, but the skills of those hidden guards didn't look like they were raised by the royal family.Guan Furan once told her that the imperial guards' kung fu is soft, and their moves are all deadly and vicious. The victory lies in being caught off guard.But the kung fu of the five men in black that day was more masculine, their moves were vigorous and powerful, and they seemed to be cultivated by a family.

As for the palace banquet three days later, it would be impossible for her to recover from her illness.Lin Xinxin just came to visit her at the house the day before yesterday, and kept asking the doctor about her injuries. If she excused herself from being unwell and didn't participate, those people who wished her bad luck would come out to make trouble again.

In the study of Prince Ling's Mansion.

Wei Lingxiao stood in front of the window in a white robe, looking at the snow falling outside the window, his sword eyebrows slightly lowered.Wei Ziqiao, who was dressed in a dark blue robe, poured a cup of hot tea and took a sip.

"I heard that Princess Wenhua fell off the carriage when she went out [-] years ago and scratched her face. Now she is still in the princess mansion and dare not go out."

"She wants to taste the feeling of falling." Wei Lingxiao replied indifferently.

"Ten days ago, Miss Xiao went fishing by a lake that was about to freeze, but accidentally slipped and fell into the lake. She was ill for several days in a row, and she recovered in the first two days." Wei Ziqiao raised her eyebrows, and continued to count down the fate of those unlucky children. Bad luck.

"The lake is cold enough, she should go in and wash her brains, so she can learn to behave herself."

"The second prince's confidant, Jiang Jing, came to Bianjing from the outer city a month ago. He was hit in the leg by a rock rolling from the mountain when he passed by the mountain, and he is still lying in the mansion half dead." Blowing the steam on the tea surface, There was a faint smile on the corner of Wei Ziqiao's lips.

"It's just a waste, and it's just a waste of jumping legs."

"Your Highness is wise!"

Facing Wei Ziming's compliment, Wei Lingxiao didn't even raise his eyebrows.

"It's just... the people who were in the forest that day... the prince just let it go?"

Wei Lingxiao's dark eyes moved slightly. "This king has killed them."

"Why didn't you tell her about that man? Are you not afraid that she will blame you if she finds out in the future?"

Wei Lingxiao naturally knew who the "she" he was talking about was.

"This king will protect her well."

"Forget it, I can't tell you, you can do it yourself, don't regret it in the future. The empress's birthday will be three days later... I don't know who and who will be fulfilled this year..." Wei Ziqiao stood up to Wei Lingxiao Around me, the emperor would marry the prince or princess at such a banquet in previous years, and this year is no exception.

Wei Lingxiao's eyes were dull, and he didn't answer.

Since Aunt Lin was kicked out of the mansion, Ning Shuangyu's sense of presence in the mansion plummeted to the lowest point. In the past, she never walked out of her yard except for the fact that she had to attend in the mansion.It also looked like he knew he was wrong.

This time the whole family of the Ning Mansion was invited to the banquet, and Ning Guoan only planned to bring Ning Erlan's three daughters, Ning Desheng and the old lady there.This time Wen Shi rarely proposed to go with her, but she was persuaded by Ning Erlan, she knew that Wen Shi was worried about herself.But it is better to stay as far away as possible from the palace, where you will lose your life if you are not careful.

Although the status of the Ning Mansion in Bianjing is still not high, it is much better than when it first came.At least under Ning Guoan's spare no effort to fawn on them, there are still many officials who will not deliberately show them face.But those aristocratic families with solid foundations naturally wouldn't take them seriously.

The carriage that participated in the palace banquet stopped outside the gate of the palace, and when you got off the carriage, you could see ladies dressed up everywhere.Although it was said that this was the queen's birthday party, Ning Erlan knew that it was also a blind date meeting in disguise.

The imperial palace in winter makes people feel lonely from the heart, and I don't know how the women in the harem can endure the loneliness of waiting day and night.

Because of the cold weather, the banquet was held in the Qiming Palace. The Qiming Palace was built by the former emperor. It is spacious and comfortable and can accommodate hundreds of people. It is specially used for winter banquets.

"It's pitiful to have such a small status. It's so cold and you still have to walk in. You don't know when you will get there. But there is no way, who are you just merchants who can't get on the stage?" There was a person beside him. A carriage drove by, and deliberately slowed down the speed of the carriage as it passed them.A corner of the carriage was lifted, revealing a face that Ning Erlan never wanted to see.Looking at them with endless irony in their eyes.
