Chapter 74:

A few days ago, King An had been sending people over, first Wang Quan, and then another person. The gatekeepers of Ning Mansion had long been used to it, but it was the first time they saw King An's carriage appearing at the door.
A fan stretched out from the carriage and opened the carriage curtain, revealing the handsome face behind it. Chu Fei got off the carriage, his hand shook, the folding fan in his hand unfolded, and he shook slowly.
Wang Quan hurriedly went to put money at the gate of Ning Mansion: "Thank you to report, our prince is here."
Where did the gatekeeper have seen such a battle, did not dare to take the silver for a while, and asked in a daze, "Which one will you notify?"
"Of course it is Master Ning!"
The gatekeeper responded and quickly turned and ran in.
Chu Fei raised his head and glanced at the plaque hanging in the Ning Mansion, feeling full of emotion in his heart. I think that when he came back last time, it was even something in his previous life. When he came back here for the last time, Ningfu had already changed the owner, and all traces left by the past were erased or concealed, and he could not find his half-familiar feeling. Disgusting.
It's like now, but now Ning Yanting is in charge, and even the nasty two-bedroom and three-bedroom have been driven out.
Chu Fei raised his foot and walked into Ning Mansion. The other guard at the gate looked at him and hesitated, not knowing whether to stop him. Their wife ordered that the things sent by King An should not be accepted, but they didn't say what to do if King An's Mansion sent King An himself. It's just that before he finished tangling, Chu Fei had already walked in Shi Shiran.
Ning Yanting was at home today, and as soon as he heard him coming, he immediately walked out of the study. He didn't show it on his face, but was surprised: "Why is the prince here?"
The corner of Chu Fei's mouth was grinning: "This king is passing by and thinks of Master Ning, so he comes to see Master Ning."
He paused, before waiting for Ning Yanting to say anything, and then said: "This king has a relentless request. I hope Master Ning can agree."
Ning Yanting said with an unmoved expression: "The prince might as well speak and listen."
"This king wants to ask Miss Ning to go out for a walk, what does Master Ning think?"
Sure enough!
He knew that Wang An must be uneasy and kind, and came to A Nuan.
Ning Yanting gritted his teeth bitterly in his heart, but there was a distressed look on his face: "The little girl and the prince go out, this, this is really not suitable..."
Chu Fei changed the conversation and said, "After a few days, this king will hold a banquet in the garden in Beijing. Since it is not convenient for Miss Ning to go out with this king, she can always come to this king's banquet, right?"
Ning Yanting choked. He frowned and tried to refute again.
"Master Ning rest assured, how could this king be a rude person? It's true that the banquet was meant by Jinghe princess. The princess was young and just wanted to find a few playmates. Then Mrs. Ning would be invited to show her face. Take Ms. Ning to see the princess." Chu Fei took out a post from his arms, handed it to him, and said: "Master Ning doesn't give me the face, so I can't even stay with Ms. Ning and the princess. Stop it?"
What Ning Yanting wanted to refute was blocked by him.
Chu Fei didn't stay much, fearing that he would find a chance to refuse, put down the post, and left the sentence "The king will listen to the good news from Miss Ning", and then leave immediately.
Ning Yanting opened his mouth, but he was already walking away quickly.
"..."
Ning Yanting reluctantly scolded him in his heart before telling Jiang Yunlan about this matter.
Jiang Yunlan immediately refused: "How can you let Ah Nuan go to see King An? What is King An's idea in his heart, it is difficult to understand that you still don't know? Why did you agree so quickly?"
"But he even moved out of the princess, so I couldn't refuse it for a while." Ning Yanting frowned and said, "It's better to find out if anyone else in Beijing has received the invitation. If not, wait until then. On Sunday, it was said that Ah Nuan was ill, and it was when he returned to Wang An."
Jiang Yunlan thought for a while and agreed.
To their surprise, Wang An was fully prepared this time. Not only Ningfu, but many people in Beijing with girls of the right age have received posts, which actually says Jing and the princess are invited. It's just that those people received the post from the palace, but they were invited by King An in the Ning family. After sending out the post, Chu Fei went to the palace and took all kinds of gadgets to coax the princess Jinghe, and coaxed the ten-year-old princess around and was busy.
Looking at it this way, if the appointment is not accepted, it will not be justified.
If you don't look at King An, and only talk about Princess Jinghe and aristocratic ladies, it would be good for Ning Nuan to go. But that was a banquet organized by King An. King An specially set up bait to coax A Nuan over. If they did go, wouldn't they be in King An's plan?
Jiang Yunlan was still hesitating whether to make Ning Nuan pretend to be ill according to the original plan. The old lady heard the news and called her over and asked her to take Ning Qing with her.
Jiang Yunlan was suddenly short of breath.
Ning Nuan was calm, and comforted her: "If I refuse this time, and the next time, His Royal Highness An won't give up, so she can always find opportunities. It's better to take me to see you mother, as long as I don't Leaving, staying with other people all the time, I can't do much if I want to come to An Wang."
Hearing what she said, Jiang Yunlan reluctantly responded.
At the banquet, there were not only Jing and the princesses, but also the ladies of the capital. Jiang Yunlan specially let Ning Nuan dress up. She has a good foundation, and the color can overwhelm other people if she doesn’t use pink and daisy on weekdays. Now she dresses up carefully. Putting on the new clothes Jiang Yunlan made for her a few days ago, and the new jewelry she gave her on her birthday, it really shines. Only Ning Nuan was not used to it. Before going out, he went back specially to replace the luxurious gemstones on his body and exchange it for his favorite jade ornament.
That jade ornament is also one of Jiang Yunlan’s birthday gifts to her. Jade is a good jade, and she invited a craftsman with exquisite craftsmanship to make her temperament out of the dust. Although not as bright as the original gemstone, it is floating like a fairy, like a flower of Gaoling. .
Jiang Yunlan nodded when she saw it, and was very satisfied: "My mother thinks this set of jewelry is suitable for you when she sees it. Now it seems that my mother's vision is not wrong at all. But in my opinion, the original set is more suitable, A Nuanyi Put it on, Manjingcheng can't find anything better than you."
Ning Nuan pursed her lips and smiled: "This is Jing and the princess's banquet, but you can't steal the princess's limelight."
Princess Jinghe is ten years old, not too old, but at the age of knowing beauty and ugliness. Not to mention that there are many famous ladies in the banquet. She is not familiar with those ladies. The Ning family is not very powerful in the capital. According to Ning Nuan's idea, she can't offend anyone now.
But before she went out, she first attracted a jealous look.
Ning Qing specially asked the second wife to give silver, and went out to buy a set of new jewelry, but the silver was limited, and she was only satisfied with the jewelry she bought. After wearing it, the seven was changed to eight. It can be seen that Ning Nuan. Eight points are gone.
It's just that she was able to ride the carriage this time, thanks to the Ning family's blessing, so although she was a little unhappy in her heart, she was still pretending to be on her face, and she even praised Ning Nuan in a wrong way.
When the carriage drove to the gate of the garden, many people had already arrived. I don't know who leaked the news, saying that Wang An will also come this time. Now An Wang is a man in Beijing. The limelight is flourishing, and they have won the holy favor. All the ladies who have not yet decided on their marriages have focused their attention on Wang An, and even more energetically dressed themselves, all bright and bright, with all the jewelry and clothes on their bodies. It is luxurious.
As soon as Ning Nuan appeared, but before he could say anything, it attracted the attention of many people. Some people's eyes rolled around on her face, and some hostility suddenly appeared in their eyes.
Only Ning Qing was a bit self-satisfied at first, but when she got here, her gaze swept over other people’s jewelry. She only felt that she had been compared to the dust, her head down and her face panicked, and she hid behind Jiang Yunlan. .
The servants in the garden led them to sit down and sit down. Jiang Yunlan saw a certain wife she was familiar with, and immediately brought Ning Nuan to her.
"This is Mrs. Xue, and her daughter." Jiang Yunlan said to Mrs. Xue again: "This is my daughter. I have been talking about it with you, but it was the first time you saw you today."
Mrs. Xue looked at Ning Nuan after hearing the words, her eyes were stunning, and she couldn't help boasting: "I have been listening to you on weekdays. This is indeed the first time I saw you today, and it is indeed as you said. It is really beautiful. very."
Miss Xue next to her hides behind her with some embarrassment.
Mrs. Xue has a hearty temper, but Ms. Xue is the opposite of her, her temperament is restrained, and she is speechless when she talks to others. Now she saw Ning Nuan and opened her mouth, but she didn't say a word.
"She has such a temperament, originally she was reluctant to come, or I had to pull her over." Madam Xue sighed: "If she can get along well with your daughter, it would be a good thing."
Miss Xue hid behind Mrs. Xue, looking at Ning Nuan curiously, she immediately retracted when she touched her gaze.
Ning Nuan looked at her as if she saw the snow-white rabbit that Xiangtao once raised under curiosity. The rabbit is also so timid. When a stranger comes near, it will make her whole body tremble with white hair, until she is familiar with it later. , Is willing to be close to people. It's a pity that Xiangtao didn't have the patience. After raising her for a short time, she disliked the trouble of serving the rabbit, and gave it to a little maid who didn't know. Later, Ning Nuan never saw it.
She curled the corner of her mouth and smiled at Miss Xue. Miss Xue trembled and smiled at her boldly.
Ning Nuan also heard Jiang Yunlan mentioned that it was Master Xue who was busy with official duties before, and Mrs. Xue was busy with internal and external affairs, and she was negligent about Miss Xue. She didn't even know that she was bullied by her servants. Later found out, Xue The wife was furious and drove out the servants who dared to bully the master, but Miss Xue did not dare to contact outsiders anymore. Master Xue and Madam Xue were ashamed of her in their hearts, and naturally they pampered her so that Ms. Xue had grown into the temperament she is now.
Jiang Yunlan gave Ning Nuan a wink, and Ning Nuan took the initiative to take a tentative step forward. Seeing that Miss Xue had no objection, she took her to the side and left room for the two to talk.
Ning Qing stood awkwardly on the spot, seeing Ning Nuan gone, and Jiang Yunlan and Mrs. Xue ignored her. She gritted her teeth secretly, remembering the purpose of her coming, and then she regained her spirit, squeezing a smile on her face, and turned towards A familiar lady walked over.
People gradually arrived, and the garden became more lively.
In a room not far away, Chu Fei held a clairvoyance from an overseas businessman in his hand and looked here. There was a young girl beside him, just like him, with clairvoyance in her hand, looking in exactly the same direction.
"Uncle An, where is the aunt you told me? Why didn't I see it?" Princess Jinghe opened her eyes wide, trying to identify these people among Yingyingyanyan.
Chu Fei’s clairvoyance was aimed at Ning Nuan. As soon as Ning’s carriage stopped at the door, he immediately received the news. When Ning Nuan walked in, he had already picked up the clairvoyance to observe. This clairvoyance was really easy to use. Standing at such a distance, he could even see A Nuan's every move.
Seeing Ning Nuan and the other girl walked to the blind spot of the line of sight, Chu Fei let go of his clairvoyance still inexplicably.
Princess Jinghe still keeps her eyes wide open, looking around: "Uncle An Wang?"
"Stupid, you just want to find the most beautiful one, which is your future aunt and concubine." Chu Fei said, "When she came in just now, did you see that, the one who is the most beautiful in moon-white clothes."
Jing and the princess turned around, but didn't find what he said, wearing moon-white clothes, the appearance is the best-looking of all.
Chu Fei said again, "When you go out later, you can see it naturally."
Jinghe Princess can only give up.
She pursed her mouth and said unhappily: "You told me that you want me to see Aunt Wang. I came out specially. If you lied to me, I will punish you when I go back."
Chu Fei squinted at her, "Could it be that it's not fun outside the palace? You are thinking about going out of the palace all day. Now that I brought you out of the palace, are you satisfied again?"
Jing and the princess struggled for a long while, and couldn't speak again.
She muttered softly and insisted: "No matter, if I don't see it, I will go and sue my mother, my father, and my grandmother. I want you to find the princess the most. Come out, you lied to me, you lied to the imperial grandmother, the imperial grandmother will be angry!"
Chu Fei still said, "Then you can find it later."
"Then when shall I go out?" Jinghe Princess asked.
Chu Fei thought for a while, and said, "Just a moment."
Now A Nuan has just talked to Miss Xue, if Jing went with the princess, it would be no good if Miss Xue scared away.
Speaking of Miss Xue, Chu Fei never expected that his future mother-in-law would be so good, and as soon as he made friends, he would make friends with the wife of Xue Gongli, the minister of war. Xue Gongli has always refused to get in, no one can win him over, but some people have thought of saving the country from Mrs. Xue, but Mrs. Xue is also a powerful person. Like Master Xue, he is not merciful at all. I don't know how many people have touched him. nail.
But his cheap mother-in-law, not only has a good relationship with Ms. Xue, she also wants to be friends with Ms. Xue when she comes to A Nuan. He had heard the rumors of Master Xue's only daughter, and knew that she was very afraid of her life. Someone tried to make friends with Miss Xue. Who knew that the temper was too impatient, but it scared Miss Xue and made Master Xue unhappy.
Thinking about the previous life, A Nuan became his princess, and when she was dealing with other wives, she was also exquisite and praised.
Chu Fei couldn't help thinking. Could it be that Ning Lang's reason for making friends is so powerful, or that Ning's family failed to succeed?
"Uncle An Wang! Uncle An Wang!" Jing and the princess waited for a while, then shouted anxiously: "When can I go out?"
"What is it?" Chu Fei raised his clairvoyance again, and looked over there. Looking at the way Ning Nuan and Miss Xue were talking happily, he couldn't help but nodded. Princess Jinghe shouted a few more times before he responded, "If you don't listen to me, I won't take you out of the palace next time."
Jing and the princess suddenly wilted.
Until the time was almost up, Chu Fei nodded to let Jing and the princess go out. When sending her out, he kept exhorting: "Don't forget what I said to you. If you didn't do a good job, I will I won't take you out of the palace."
Jinghe princess nodded solemnly: "Uncle An Wang, don't worry, I will definitely praise you in front of Aunt Wang and talk more about you so that she will like you sooner."
"There is one more thing."
Jinghe princess quickly said: "Also, I will definitely find an opportunity for you to meet each other."
Chu Fei was satisfied.
He watched Jinghe princess walk out with his own eyes, returned to the original position, and took a clairvoyant look.
Jing and the princess have been waiting for too long.
As soon as she heard that Uncle An had a girl she liked, she became curious in her heart, and she wished to see it right away. After holding back for a long time, she was finally able to go out. While everyone was saluting, she quickly turned Everyone present looked over.
Today, there were not many people in the white clothes of the moon. When Jing and the princess sat down at the seat of the head, the ladies raised their heads and revealed their faces, and she immediately found them.
Princess Jinghe quickly glanced at Ning Nuan up and down, nodding in her heart.
Sure enough, as Uncle An Wang said, it was really the best one among everyone.
Ning Nuan only felt that a line of sight fell on her body. As she raised her head after the salute, she quickly followed that gaze, but met the line of sight of the princess who was sitting in the first place.
Ning Nuan was stunned for a moment, but the princess Jinghe on the main seat turned away from her eyes with embarrassment. She looked a little bit shy, making Ning Nuan Zhanger confused.
When Jing and the princess came, the banquet was about to begin.
The ladies were looking forward to it, looking and looking at the entrance, but they didn't wait until the person they wanted to see, and all of them were a little disappointed.
Who said that His Royal Highness An will come? It is clear that only the princess is here!
But Jing and the princess are the queen's cusps. After the ladies were disappointed, they cheered up and went to talk to Jing and the princess again, trying to befriend her.
Jinghe Princess has only one purpose. The diligence of these girls makes her very annoying. She tensed her face and was a little upset, but she was scrupulous about etiquette and did not express her emotions, except that she kept her eyes on her. Looking in a certain direction, with an imperceptible expectation in the eyes, waiting for a girl with white clothes and the best appearance in a certain month to talk to her.
If that girl comes, she can follow Uncle An's words, talk to her, praise Uncle An, and find another chance so that Uncle An and this girl can meet. Uncle Wang is happy, and will be able to take her out of the palace again in the future.
It's just that she looked and looked...
Ning Nuan knew that Miss Xue was afraid of life, and saw that everyone was going to Jinghe Princess. She took Miss Xue and did not join in the fun. She only sat in place with her and spoke quietly.
Miss Xue was very embarrassed, and whispered quietly: "Am I still hurting you."
Ning Nuan smiled and said, "Why, I don't like to join in the fun."
"I know, I came here, not for your Royal Highness." Miss Xue paused, and said: "I also heard that Royal Highness An will also come."
Ning Nuan thought, but still calmly on her face, she asked her, "Are you here to come down for the Lord An?"
"No." Miss Xue shook her head, seeming to be frightened by this sentence, even her face was a little pale: "My mother insists on me coming over, I just listened to them."
For some reason, Ning Nuan was actually relieved.
She felt weird in her heart, tried to suppress the weirdness in her heart, then smiled and echoed: "Neither do I."
Miss Xue's face suddenly became more ruddy. She glanced at Ning Nuan, pursed her lips and smiled embarrassedly, still speaking softly: "I thought you were the same as them."
Now that she had changed her mind, she only felt that Ning Nuan was better than any aristocratic lady she had seen before.
Her mother was worried that she was bored, and she specially took her out to meet many people, but those people were also outstanding. Although their Xue family was not bad, she was embarrassed to see outsiders, so every time she saw them, Don't dare to talk to people, even if you know you well, you can't make friends.
She didn't want to get close to people with purpose, and tried to force herself, but she was not a person inside and outside. So far, there are no close friends in the boudoir.
But Ning Nuan is gentle and gentle, and her voice is soft and gentle. She doesn't dislike her character, she looks good, and she is much better than any noble lady in the family.
Miss Xue bends her eyes and feels very happy.
When she was happy, she couldn't help but say a little too much, pulling Ning Nuan and boldly speaking out what she didn't usually say to outsiders.
In the distance, Jiang Yunlan and Madam Xue looked at the closeness of the two, not only Jiang Yunlan was happy, but Madam Xue was also extremely happy.
She repeatedly said: "She has never loved to interact with outsiders, but now she and your daughter are so close, I have never seen it before."
Jiang Yunlan also replied again and again: "I also saw A Nuan being so close to other people for the first time."
The two looked at each other and saw the familiar relief in each other's eyes.
The two of them chatted happily, but they didn't know that the princess Jinghe in the distance was anxious.
This auntie Wang couldn't come, so how could she tell her auntie Wang's good things about Uncle Ann, how could she find a chance to let Auntie Wang and Uncle Ann meet, and how could she leave the palace in the future!
