Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining helped the Sun family to get up, said goodbye to the old lady, and left first, with Cao Yuqing and Qin Huining walking behind them.

Qin Huining smiled and supported Cao Yuqing's arm, "Foster mother, this visit to the garden is really a good thing. Can the adoptive mother bring her daughter with me? It's also an eye-opener for her daughter."

Qin Yining panicked when she heard Qin Huining's voice, and Sun's complexion was no longer good, so she quickened her pace slightly.

But the voices behind him still entered his ears without any obstacle.

"I'm just a concubine, how can I take someone there? It's already a special case for the old lady to take me there. I have an accessory, so how can I bring another accessory?" Cao Yuqing said with a smile: "Hui Ning The girl might as well ask Mrs."

When Sun shi heard this, his heart sank, and he secretly scolded the slut for being hypocritical!

Since Mrs. Cao entered the door, Qin Huining has long stopped coming to Xingning Garden to greet her, and she refused to call her mother when she met her. Now that something happened, she even instigated Qin Huining to come to her to solve it, which was clearly blocking her heart!

Sun's footsteps were slow and he wanted to attack, but was stopped by Qin Yining.

"Mother, should we go for a walk or go back by car?" Qin Yining asked and laughed again: "Mother is in better health, why don't my daughter accompany you for a walk back, it is also good for your body."

If Qin Huining wants to ask for help, let her ask in public. Anyway, she didn't want to enter the door of Xingning Garden.

Mrs. Sun didn't quite understand what Qin Yining meant, but she was dragged by Qin Yining for a walk every day. If she didn't walk, her body would not feel slack, so she nodded in anger, "Let's go back for a walk."

Behind him, Cao Yuqing glanced at Qin Yining, took off the small purse with snacks around her waist with a full smile, took a candied date and put it in her mouth. walk.

Qin Huining's face was a little unsettled.

It has been a while since Mrs. Cao entered the house. Qin Huining knows her habits very well. She carries snacks with her, and she habitually eats something when she sees a good show.

Feeling, she thinks it's time to perform a good show, and wants to see how she can beg Sun's?

Qin Huining was confused in every possible way. He secretly scolded Cao Yuqing for being really cunning and not wanting to take her to Changchun Garden. It was as if she deliberately asked her to beg the Sun family and wanted to see her make a fool of herself.

But if she doesn't take this opportunity,

There will never be a better opportunity than this in the future. Even if the men from various families on this garden outing are not among the invited ones, her dignified personality will surely leave a good impression on the noble ladies, so that there will be more opportunities for kissing in the future.

Qin Huining made up her mind, then smiled and took two steps: "Madam, you..."

"Don't call me." Mrs Sun scolded Qin Huining before she could finish, "You long ago wanted to be someone else's daughter, others made things difficult for me, and I didn't see you say a word for me, I am like a jewel. You have been doting on you for 14 years, and you can turn your face when you say it, how can you be so embarrassed to ask me now?"

"You misunderstood, the daughter is..."

"I'm not your mother now. Although you are nominally your father's adopted daughter, but you can count how long you won't come to say goodbye to me, and don't call my mother more often? Huh? Even when I was terminally ill, I didn't Seeing you come to serve the disease, when I am about to be beheaded, you hide in the house quietly. Qin Huining, are you too embarrassed to speak up?"

Sun's words were not small. Even the second and third wives and other girls who were behind Cao Yuqing could hear it clearly.

Qin Huining didn't expect Sun to be so ruthless, she took a step, and tears welled up, looking at Cao Yuqing for help, "Mother, you..."

Cao Yuqing pouted, spit out a jujube stone, and stuffed a candied date into the cherry's mouth before saying, "Don't be in a hurry, ma'am, the empress's banquet was invited by some honorable and respectable people in Beijing. It is said that there are only eight family members who are qualified to go to the family. Those who have a direct daughter should naturally bring a direct daughter. If there is no direct daughter, an excellent concubine can also be selected. No, but if it's warm today, there are many opportunities to go out to play, and the girl will go out the same way next time."

Cao Yuqing spoke slowly, but Qin Huining felt as if she had been slapped in the face.

She is clearly saying that she is neither a direct daughter nor a concubine, and she is not the daughter of the Qin family at all, so it is normal that no one takes her there!

Qin Huining lowered her eyes and shed tears of grievance.

Cao Yuqing put away the snack bag.

Unexpectedly, Sun shi has grown, and he has not yelled at Qin Huining, and has learned to use reason to oppress people. There is no drama to watch, and there is no point in eating snacks.

Everyone went back and prepared for a while, and the people who went out settled down.

In addition to the maid, the old lady wants to bring Cao Yuqing, and Sun's naturally wants to bring Qin Yining. The second lady has no direct daughter, so Miss Seven is raised in her name, so she will take Miss Seven there. The third wife didn't have a mandate, so naturally she didn't have the chance, but her daughter, the third young lady, Qin Jianing, was already engaged, and she was going to get married in June this year. So the third wife is peaceful.

Qin Huining and Miss Six, who couldn't go, got together and cried bitterly for a long time.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was bright, and there was a convoy ready in front of the Anpinghou mansion. The first car was a sapphire blue brocade canopy tassel car, the second car was a blue and red round-headed car, and the third car was a black lacquered carriage in which the servants sat.

The old lady took Cao Yuqing's hand and got into the first car, looked back at Mrs. Sun, and called the second lady with a smile: "You bring the seventh girl and sit with me, so we can talk."

The intention of isolating Sun and Qin Yining was very obvious.

Qin Yining brought a footstool to serve the Sun family and got on the second blue and red wheelbarrow. : "It's more comfortable for us to sit together."

Sun shi smiled bitterly: "You can see that, people have eyes on the top of their heads, and things like holding up and stepping down can be seen everywhere."

Qin Yining, who lives in the market, has understood this truth since he was a child, so he has been forcing himself to be strong and strong. Seeing that the Sun family was so low now, he took her hand and gently persuaded her.

The convoy drove slowly to the south gate, and when they arrived outside the city, they saw that the Queen Luan Jia and the other seven invited ladies and family members had arrived, basically three or four carriages per family.

With the empress at the head, the combined team of eight female families plus the accompanying maids and guards, the team looked endless, with great momentum and great style. The queen is most about luxury. When the command was given to set off, a ritual music was played. Immediately, there were guards in the palace running all the way back, standing outside the convoy, one every ten feet away.

Qin Yining lifted the curtains and looked out, the fields were green, the potholes on the official road had already been filled up, and this mighty team was added.

If the Qingtian League wanted to kill the Demon Empress, this would be a good opportunity, and maybe they would be able to wipe out the female relatives of the eight major families in Beijing.

It's just that this trip did not encounter an assassin, and everything went smoothly.

Because the queen was going to travel, the emperor had already ordered people to inspect all the way to Changchun Mountain, and the road was repaired and flat. So just as it was noon, the convoy stopped slowly.

A number of small house attendants in iron-gray eunuch uniforms trotted over from the front and told the ladies to get off the bus.

Qin Yining helped Sun to get off the carriage and looked at the green hills in front of him and the peach trees scattered along the road, and felt refreshed in his breath.

"Is this here?" Qin Yining asked the servant beside him.

The maid smiled and said, "In response to Miss, the Empress said that the air here is fresh and the scenery is pleasant, so I plan to walk up the mountain all the way, first, it is convenient to see the scenery, and second, it is also a wild fun, so I asked the ladies and ladies from all the families to accompany them on the walk. ."

Qin Yining nodded with a smile: "My lady is so elegant."

When she finished speaking, someone behind her echoed: "The scenery here is so beautiful, and only the empress can be so favored by the emperor."

"Yeah, Niangniang is blessed by nature, and she is always favored, which is really enviable."

Qin Yining didn't recognize the ladies around, so she didn't interrupt.

On the other hand, the Sun family, because of the environment since childhood, was quite handy when it came to socializing.

Mr. Sun pointed to a 40-year-old woman wearing a red makeup beehive and said, "This is Mrs. Li from Duke Anguo's mansion."

"Mrs. Li is well." Qin Yining saluted gracefully.

Mrs. Anguo nodded with a smile, pulled a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl beside her and said, "This is my little daughter Yanyan."

Li Yanyan came forward with a smile and bowed her knees to Qin Yining, and Qin Yining returned with her hand in hand.

"Sister is fine."

"Sister Qin is good. I have long heard that Sister Qin is beautiful. Now that I see her, even my sister can't help but want to take a look." Li Yanyan smiled and took Qin Yining's arm.

On the other hand, the other noble ladies who were chatting with the old lady saw that Mrs. Sun brought Qin Yining to chat with the female family members of Duke Anguo's mansion. It was like finding the right direction and approaching to chat.

The Sun family brought Qin Yining to know many people without being humble or arrogant.

Qin Yining has an excellent memory. He only said hello and remembered people in his heart. He found that the lowest person present today was also a marquis, and the only one without a title was Cao Guojiu's wife and the queen's sister-in-law.

Qian's Qin Yining and Sun's naturally remembered it. I still remember that last year, Qin Yining entered the palace with an edict, but he met Cao Guojiu with his wife and son at the queen's place. Uncle Cao's son, the queen's nephew, actually molested her face to face. If it wasn't for her quick reaction, the pear blossoms and rain would cry on the spot, which made the emperor know that he was right and was afraid, and I'm afraid she would marry into the Cao family. .

Now that I see Uncle Cao Guo's wife again, Qin Yining's heart is very subtle, but on the face he just forgets that there is this person, and he is very polite.

The queen looked at Qin Yining, and remembered Pang Xiao's rudeness in front of the emperor and the emperor's concessions, she couldn't help but snorted, and said lazily, "Let's go, we will have a banquet when we arrive at the garden."

Everyone responded in unison, and the female relatives held hands and laughed with each other. The stars and the moon surrounded the queen, and went up the mountain along the gentle slope.
