The Devious First-Daughter

Although the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party held by Concubine Yagui has completed several couples, none of the two most important princes have made an appointment, which is beyond everyone's expectations. The reason why the third prince did not make an appointment is because Ning Something happened to Yuling, but the fourth prince didn't attend because of something.

Although the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet was over, Concubine Ya Gui did not leave, and those noble ladies of course could not leave first either.

Early in the morning, Ning Xueyan went to greet Madam Tai.

Mrs. Tai has already woken up, and when she heard Ning Xueyan coming, she called her in, and without saying a few words, she received an invitation from Concubine Yagui, asking her to go over and have a talk, such a big thing happened yesterday, the two We haven't sat down and had a good talk yet.

On the surface, it seems that Ning Yuling lost the face of the Huguohou Mansion, but none of the noble ladies who came here knew that Concubine Yagui and the Huguohou Mansion had already agreed, and Ning Yuling should have given it to the Huguohou Mansion this time. The third prince is the main concubine, if something like this happens, the third prince's face will be completely humiliated.

Generally speaking, it is the Huguohou's Mansion who is sorry for the third prince, and there must be an explanation for this matter!

Regardless of which side it is, Mrs. Tai should go there, and she might as well bring Ning Xueyan with her.

The maid and mother-in-law surrounded the grandparents and grandchildren and went to Concubine Ya's yard together.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, there were eunuchs guarding there long ago. Seeing Mrs. Tai coming, they trotted in to report. When Mrs. Tai arrived at the door, a nun who was beside Concubine Ya had already greeted her with a smile, respectfully Respectfully took Mrs. Tai in.

Not only Concubine Ya was in the room, but Princess Li was also sitting there early, with a gloomy expression on her face.

Ning Xueyan looked at her, and the snow-colored civet cat was missing, and a deep look flashed in her eyes. It seemed that the fragrance she prepared this time really matched the scent of a civet cat...

Concubine Ya Gui smiled, as if she didn't mind at all, seeing Mrs. Tai coming in, she politely asked Mrs. Tai to sit down.

"Mrs. Tai, the palace sent some candied fruit this morning. I heard that it is a new product this year. I specially invite Mrs. Tai to come and taste it together." Concubine Ya Gui pointed to the bowls of fruit in front of her with a smile on her face.

Concubine Yagui had just left the palace, and the emperor in the palace was thinking about her, so he specially asked someone to send something, which shows that the holy family is upright!

Only showing the strength in her words, Mrs. Tai quickly stood up and declined: "Thank you, my concubine, my wife is getting older now, I really don't dare to use these more, but I am worrying my concubine."

Although Concubine Ya Gui didn't say anything, she was actually extremely unhappy. The third prince's reputation had always been good, and now that he had a green hat on his head, anyone would be angry, let alone this royal nobleman.

"The imperial concubine is indeed very troublesome. Look at this person with heavy dark circles. Could it be that he didn't sleep well last night?" Princess Lijun said coldly and unceremoniously.

Concubine Ya's face darkened when she said this.

Hearing this, Madam Tai showed a bit of embarrassment on her face. Yesterday's incident involved the prince of Li County. It seemed that the old concubine was also angry.

"My concubine, I'm really sorry. I've lived a long time, and I never thought that such a thing would happen at home. The second girl, she usually looks like a good person. I don't know why she was fooled into this by a servant. Hey, yes. Unfortunately for the family!" Mrs. Tai sighed, the corners of her eyes were a little wet, and her voice was trembling.

Although she was putting the matter on the girl, it was obvious that she was really sad!

The smile on Concubine Yagui's face was regaining a bit of gentleness, she turned her head and saw Deng Xueyan standing behind Mrs. Tai, and softly called out: "Fifth Miss, come here, let me see, this look It's really not good, do you want me to invite the imperial physician in the palace to see you, how can a young girl be so weak!"

This scene was so familiar, it was like the scene where Princess Lijun pulled Ning Yuling that day!

Ning Xueyan smiled coldly, she didn't want to be marked as the third prince's person at this time, if Concubine Yagui really cared, she wouldn't wait until this time, today she deliberately showed her caring in front of people, just to make others misunderstand He thought that the Marquis Huguo's Mansion had a new agreement with the third prince.

Raising her eyes, she regained Yali's composure, and went forward to salute Concubine Yagui with a bit of obedience: "Thank you for your kindness, concubine, grandma has found a new doctor for me, but I am weak, take good care of me It's all right."

"Yes, it's nothing serious. It's just a problem brought about by the girl's womb. It's just that she didn't pay attention to recuperation at ordinary times, so her body is so bad. The doctor said that you should pay more attention to it in the future. I dare not work for the imperial doctor to come over." Mrs. Tai hurriedly interjected Repeatedly.

Ask the imperial physician in the palace to give Ning Xueyan a diagnosis. The fact that she has been given a hard work will be leaked out!

Just saying this, it seems that she has a bit more status with Concubine Yagui.

The concubine of Lijun Wang who was sitting on the side no longer found fault with Mrs. Tai. The thoughtful and sharp light in her eyes did not escape Ning Xueyan's eyes. This old lady is not blindly useless as in the legend. .

"For a girl's family, it is more important to take care of the body. You can't hurt the source. From now on, it will be related to your heirs, so you can't wait any longer." Although Concubine Yagui did not insist, the meaning behind the words was quite embarrassing to Mrs. Tai The restlessness was not because she didn't want to agree to Concubine Yagui's intention, and to show outsiders the meaning of the marriage between the two families.

I was really afraid that Concubine Yagui would know Ning Xueyan's current physical condition, especially Concubine Yagui's talk about the issue of heirs almost poked Madam Tai's heart.

"Yes, girls really need to pay more attention to their bodies." Mrs. Tai reluctantly replied, turning her head to Ning Xueyan and said, "Fifth girl, you go to the garden outside first, I will talk to the imperial concubine."

This is to send Ning Xueyan out, and of course some things are inconvenient to say in front of a boudoir girl like Ning Xueyan.

With the previous incidents as a foreshadowing, Mrs. Tai would never buy herself to the third prince on her own initiative, Ning Xueyan nodded obediently, and retreated with peace of mind.

When passing by Princess Lijun, a flash of understanding flashed in her jade-like eyes, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.

Concubine Ya's garden is one of the best in Hanshan Temple, and it was originally used for entertaining distinguished guests in Hanshan Temple.

Behind it is a garden, a rockery forest, and a cobblestone path paved with fiery red maple leaves, winding along it.

The maids and eunuchs are all serving in front, the garden is very quiet, Ning Xueyan is walking slowly on the road of maple leaves, the soles of her feet are soft, and the chrysanthemums beside the rockery are enchanting and beautiful, it is the time for beauty, between layers, like a hundred Pleated skirt, colorful and beautiful.

While walking, Ning Xueyan looked at the beautiful scenery around her, walked forward slowly, turned a corner, and saw that under a big maple tree, it was Aunt Xiang with her back behind her back.

It was Aunt Xiang who helped Mrs. Tai with her medicine problem. Afterwards, Ning Xueyan had no chance to see Aunt Xiang. When she saw her at this time, she hurriedly stepped forward and called, "Aunt Xiang!"

"The fifth girl is here to visit the imperial concubine?" Aunt Xiang didn't move, she just turned her head, and when she saw Ning Xueyan, there was a glint of darkness in her eyes, and she asked politely.

"Yes, grandma is talking to the empress, let me go out for a stroll." Ning Xueyan smiled lightly, stood beside Aunt Xiang, and looked up at the maple tree she had been looking at just now, "What is there on this tree, Aunt Xiang is so engrossed?"

"It's not looking at anything, just thinking of an old friend." Aunt Xiang turned and walked behind the tree. Ning Xueyan followed two steps, only to find that there was a stone table and two stone benches behind the tree. There was a teapot, two exquisite green bamboo-shaped teacups, one of which was still steaming hot, and the fragrance of tea was wafting.

"Aunt Xiang, you are so elegant, you actually drink tea and enjoy the scenery here!" Ning Xueyan laughed.

"Fifth girl, please sit down!" Aunt Xiang gave Ning Xueyan her seat with a smile, stretched out her hand to pour a cup of tea for Ning Xueyan, and pushed it in front of Ning Xueyan.

It was broad daylight at this time, and in Concubine Ya's garden, neither of them would get too close, but Ning Xueyan could still feel the smile in Aunt Xiang's eyes, it was warm and soft, and the smile reached her eyes.

"Thank you, Aunt Xiang!"

Ning Xueyan didn't refuse, took the tea in Aunt Xiang's hand, took a sip, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but praised: "Auntie, it's really good tea, and there is a chrysanthemum fragrance in the tea. Did it?"

The faint scent of chrysanthemum in the tea color is accompanied by the fragrance of the tea leaves, giving you a leisurely feeling. You can almost taste the richness of autumn chrysanthemums on the tip of your tongue, but there is clearly no chrysanthemum in the tea, and the tea color is clear and natural.

"This is chrysanthemum rhyme, an old friend's favorite tea. She also made this tea with a new method. Didn't your mother mention it to you?" Aunt Xiang asked seemingly casually, but the corners of her eyes moved unconsciously. For a moment, Ning Xueyan still felt a trace of tension in her words.

"Mother never mentioned this kind of tea to me. Aunt Xiang's old friend must be an elegant person to make such good tea! I don't know who is Aunt Xiang's old friend?" Asked casually, pinching the bamboo-like teacup with pale fingers and turning it around.

"An old friend has passed away." Aunt Xiang showed a somewhat painful expression on her face, with a bitter smile on her lips, she shook her head, as if she didn't want to talk about the past, she stood up, "Five Girl sit here, I have something to do over there, so I won't accompany Miss Wu."

He stretched out his hand and picked up the long sleeve in his hand, as if he wanted to add some tea to Ning Xueyan before leaving.

The long, layered sleeves of Gong Miao blocked the sight of the other three directions. Only Ning Xueyan saw a small piece of silk floating down in front of her. With a movement of her slender fingers, the piece of silk fell into her body silently. in the sleeves.

If I had known that Aunt Xiang would not appear in the yard for no reason, she was indeed waiting for me.

Standing up, she said with a calm smile, "Aunt Xiang, please go ahead."

Aunt Xiang smiled slightly, didn't say anything, turned and left, but when she walked past the maple tree, she paused, looked up at the straight and firm maple tree, said something softly, and then left.

Watching Aunt Xiang leave, the smile on Ning Xueyan's face receded, and her jade-like eyes became a little more pensive!

At this moment, she seemed to hear a footstep ahead. For some reason, she subconsciously looked around and hid in the rockery on the other side. , a familiar person, can't help but secretly startled!

How could it be him!
