The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 218
"This subordinate was ordered by the prince to protect the concubine, so I offended you." Nie Tian said without changing his face.

"My God, is the second brother protecting people? Or monitoring people?" Nishinomiya Nishiki protested dissatisfied.

Nie Tian just wanted to explain, but Ye Anran took a step ahead: "My lord is concerned about me. The palace is not very peaceful recently, so my lord is afraid that something will happen to me, so I want Guard Nie to protect me."

"Oh, I see. Second sister-in-law, you have a high status now, don't you?" Nishinomiya Jin said half-jokingly.

"Jin, An Ran finally came back from a serious illness, can you stop talking nonsense?" Xi Gongmo couldn't stand it any longer.

"Yeah, so I didn't ask, ha, second sister-in-law, let me introduce to you the flowery girl next to me, she is...?" Before Xi Gongjin finished speaking, Ye Anran smiled: " I know, she is Miss Jin."

"What Miss Jin?" Nishinomiya Jin asked in a puzzled look.

"The girl who belongs to you Xigong Jin, I call her Miss Jin." Ye Anran explained with a smile.

Then everyone laughed, and Nishinomiya Jin gave a thumbs up indifferently: "Second sister-in-law, you are really good."

The girl next to Nishinomiya Jin also looked shy with red cheeks and lowered her head...

At this time, Qin Fengliu came in and complained as soon as he entered the door: "Little proprietress, you are back? You said you, since you got me here, you have been running around all day long. In such words , I am on strike, I was not as good as you at the beginning of the piano, so I willingly entered your teahouse and devoted myself to it, but I see that you don’t want to open the teahouse properly, maybe someday it will be transferred to someone else? "

Faced with Qin Fengliu's nagging, Ye Anran not only didn't feel bored, but felt very warm, so she smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, since I want to transfer the teahouse to someone else one day, that person must be you."

"Uh, no, I don't have that much money." Qin Fengliu cried poorly.

"I don't want your money, I just give it to you." Ye Anran continued to smile.

"This...how is this so embarrassing? Haha, little proprietress, I always think you are the best." Qin Fengliu's attitude immediately made a 180-degree turn.

Everyone despises... Nishi Gongjin even shouted: "You money fanatic, seeing silver is more dear than seeing Qingling."

It's all about talking and laughing, but Ye Anran knows that Qin Fengliu is not such a person, he just has a bit of an unforgiving mouth, but his heart is actually pretty good.

Who would believe him if he had no money?The investment of Jiuqufang back then was enough to buy a hundred of these teahouses...

"Let's go, it's rare to see everyone. Today I will be the host, and I will find a good restaurant to treat everyone to a big meal." Ye Anran said proactively.

"Okay, okay, the second sister-in-law's family is rich, so you won't be afraid that we will be poor? Let's go, Xu'er, you have a good fortune today." Said Xi Gongjin, the first to go downstairs with her arms around the girl named Xu'er.

"Little proprietress, I'm going too, and I'm going to take our family Qingling with me, do you have any objections?" Qin Fengliu said loudly.

Ye Anran just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Qing Ling who came behind Qin Fengliu who didn't know when: "Whoever wants you to take it, shameless, the concubine and master are treating guests, everyone has a share, okay?"

"Oh, you dead girl, I took you with good intentions, and you still said I was wrong." Qin Fengliu turned around with a frown.

Ye Anran was speechless for a moment... Then she threatened: "Don't quarrel, or you two will stay."

This sentence is really useful, so we really don't want to quarrel, Ye Anran turned around and said: "Let's go, Your Highness Mo."

"Okay." Xi Gongmo was always so calm and calm, and seemed unwilling to say a word.

When they went downstairs, they found Xi Gongjin was stunned downstairs with Xu'er in his arms. Ye Anran just wanted to speak when he saw a couple drinking tea where Xi Gongjin's eyes fell.

And that person... one is Zhao Lengyun, and the other is his wife Zheng Yanru.

Seeing everyone, Zhao Lengyun and Zheng Yanru got up and saluted: "I have met His Highness King Heng, His Highness King Huai, and Princess Rui'an."

"Miss Zheng, are you here?" Ye Anran was the first to break the silence, because she found that Nishi Gongjin was a little stunned.

"Well, recently I have been missing the tea from Wangfei Niangniang's teahouse, so I discussed with my husband to taste it." Zheng Yanru took Zhao Lengyun's hand as he spoke, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional.

Although Xi Gongjin didn't move at all on the surface, at that moment, his heart seemed to hurt, and his arms around Xu'er's shoulders tightened instantly.

"Jin, do you know each other?" The girl named Xu'er asked weakly.

Zheng Yanru's gaze towards Shang Nishigongjin seems to no longer have the tenderness it used to...

"Ah, it's General Zhao and Mrs. Zhao. Of course they know each other. No one in the government and the public knows the name of this couple." Nishinomiya Jin smiled nonchalantly.

"His Royal Highness King Heng has praised you." Zhao Lengyun said in a low voice.

At this moment, seeing how awkward the situation was, Ye Anran was the first to break the deadlock: "We still have something to do, so let's go first. What tea do we need? Ask Qiniang to prepare it. Sorry for the poor greeting."

"Where, where, the tea from Wangfei's natal family is unparalleled in the world, and my wife and I like it very much." Because Zhao Lengyun was born in a military general, he especially admired the heroic appearance of Xigongjue on the battlefield, so Aiwu Jiwu respected Xigongjue's wife very much. .

After finishing speaking, everyone left the teahouse slowly, Ye Anran looked back at the couple, and was filled with emotion in his heart.

Once, Zheng Yanru was Xi Gongjin's confidante, and she spent every day in this teahouse with him, eating, drinking and having fun, and was very close. Even the people in Bianjing thought that Zheng Yanru was the best candidate for Princess Heng.

And that Zhao Lengyun fell in love with Xi Gongyue at first sight in the teahouse, and then proposed marriage, and the emperor agreed, but because of Xi Gongyue's persistent resistance, he finally had to forget it.

Two lovers who didn't love each other were tightly tied together due to political relations. On the surface they really love each other, but what they think in their hearts, I don't know.

Maybe many lovers in the world don't get married in the end, but hold other people's hands to forget each other...

In the afternoon, after having dinner with everyone, Ye Anran went back to the palace, and as soon as she entered the Chunxiao Pavilion, she heard Xiao Rong say: "My lord, the side concubine is here to see you."

"Oh? Qingqian? Tell her to come in." Speaking of Sima Qingqian, Ye Anran was also a little relieved. After Siyan died, she went to persuade Qingqian. She didn't expect much, but she turned out to be miraculous. It's getting better.

"Wang Concubine." Although Qingqian is already very familiar with Ye Anran, she is still not used to addressing her as a sister. Maybe this proud woman thinks that the title of sister is a bit too fake, so she might as well call her Wang Concubine.

"Qingqian is here, sit down quickly." Ye Anran poured Sima Qingqian a cup of hot tea without bothering Xiaorong.

"Thank you." The shallow tone is always so lukewarm, even to Ye Anran, whom she regards as a good friend, but fortunately, Ye Anran is used to her appearance.

"Princess Wangfei, you just came back from Yangzhou. I thought you had a good rest so I didn't come to see you. How are you? Are you recovering?" Sima Qingqian asked sincerely.

"Well, everything is fine, don't worry." Ye Anran smiled slightly.

"That's good. Your body is important. You have to be careful not to get sick again." After a long illness, Sima Qingqian seemed to know that his body was the most important thing, so he began to persuade Ye Anran.

"Qingqian, I'm fine. If it's you, you need to take good care of your body. Tell me what's missing. Don't neglect yourself." Ye Anran replied gently.

"Well, don't worry, I've made up my mind this time. Now that I'm determined, it won't be the same as before, and... I really hope I can do something for you." Sima Qingqian said seriously.

"No, I'm relieved if you're fine." Ye Anran thought it was a polite remark and didn't care.

Later, after Sima Qingqian's accident, she recalled today, and only then did she understand the meaning. It turned out that this woman really wanted to do something for herself.

The two of them were chatting, when they suddenly heard heavy footsteps going upstairs, Ye Anran didn't need to look to know that it must be Jue Xigong, only when he went upstairs did there be such a heavy sound.

Sure enough, Xi Gongjue came up in a black brocade robe, he was taken aback when he saw this scene, and then asked, "Qingqian is here too?"

"Yes, my concubine greets the Lord." Sima Qingqian immediately stood up and saluted.

"You don't need to be too polite, you are not in good health, so you don't need to salute in the future." It can be seen that Xi Gongjue is still very concerned about Qingqian.

"Yes, thank you, my lord." After finishing speaking, Sima Qingqian turned around and said to Ye Anran: "Princess Wangfei, then I'll go first, and I'll come see you tomorrow."

"En, good." Ye Anran knew that Sima Qingqian was hiding from Xigongjue, maybe because he was hurt a little bit by Xigongjue, so after recovering this time, Sima Qingqian was anxious every time he saw Xigongjue. back down.

Looking at Qingqian's back, Jue Nishinomiya's eyes were a little complicated. In fact, he understood everything, but he had a lot of helplessness.

Maybe Sima Qingqian will misunderstand him all his life...

"My lord, how early did you come back today?" Ye Anran raised his eyes and asked.

"Well, since Concubine Ning's accident happened, the emperor is in a bad mood. In the morning, he basically retreats after a few words, so I'm fine." Xi Gongjue took off his coat and said slowly.

"Speaking of which, Concubine Ning is also pitiful. She finally conceived in October and gave birth to a stillborn prince. The emperor must be very sad." When Ye Anran heard this, she felt very uncomfortable.

Although she really didn't like that arrogant Concubine Ning who was always making things difficult for her, but the child was innocent, she always felt a little sad that the little prince had died like this.

"I can't help it. It's hard to give birth to a child of the emperor's family, otherwise I won't be able to survive." Xi Gongjue knew these Gongdou too well, so he also sighed.

"Well, I hope that my sister will be pregnant in the future and nothing will happen, otherwise she must be very sad." Ye Anran said suddenly.

Seeing that Ye Anran cared so much about her sister Ye Anyao, Xi Gongjue remembered what Shen Bilan said to him that day, and felt a little panicked.

"Anran...?" He suddenly wanted to say something to comfort her, but he was afraid that she would think wildly.

"En?" Ye Anran looked up in confusion.

"It's okay." Jue Nishinomiya finally couldn't say it.

Everyone in the palace was silent in the grief of Concubine Ning's loss of her child. At this time, the palace also began to become restless.

That night, Ye Anran was still planning to rest. When she closed the window, she suddenly saw Mrs. Jing in a red dress, who was very strange, walking towards the back garden in a panic.

So she had doubts in her heart and followed. Mrs. Jing was really strange that day, so strange that Ye Anran forgot Nie Tian's previous warning, and chased out regardless.
