Return of the Swallow

With a worried expression on his face, Sun said, "Your father and the emperor are discussing these matters these days. The initial set time is the day after tomorrow. But I don't know if it will change."

Qin Yining asked again, "Is father not at home?"

"Your father was urgently summoned to the palace last night, and he hasn't come back yet. It is said that a series of matters related to the surrender must be considered in the long run. In the end, your father is dedicated to the emperor and does not want the emperor to suffer."

Qin Yining nodded in understanding, Qin Huaiyuan's temperament must be the last one.

Seeing that Qin Yining was only talking to Mrs Sun, not being polite when she saw him, let alone ignoring herself, the old lady's face was a little bit unbearable, and the smile she managed to put on gradually faded away.

"Sister Yi, why didn't you say a word when you met me? Could it be that you have been living in the military camp so well these days that you have forgotten all the rules? Our Qin family has never had such a daughter who doesn't know how to behave."

Qin Yining smiled when he heard the words, and looked at the old lady gently, but what he said was not gentle.

"Our Qin family doesn't have a daughter who doesn't understand the etiquette, so may I ask the old lady, is there a thief in the Qin family who doesn't ask for it?"

The old lady turned black, and said dissatisfiedly: "I just ate a rabbit of yours, so I won't be held back by you until now, right? Your filial piety has been eaten by dogs! When is that time, you still keep it? The rabbit refuses to give me food, is it possible that you don't care when I starve to death?"

"If you talk about strong words, you are ranked second, and no one dares to recognize the first." Qin Yining sneered, "Could it be that I ate my own food and refused to give it to you? You are not afraid to be heard by others. My heart is chilling. Besides, did the old lady and the second grandmother ask me what I meant at the time? If you don’t ask me, it is considered stealing! Is it reasonable to be a thief?”

"You! What a filial person your father is! How could you raise an unfilial daughter like you!"

Qin Yining's face turned cold, "My filial piety and unfilial piety are not what the old lady said when she touched her lips! When disaster strikes, how can I see clearly to all of you! Not to mention the Qin family, but those of Ning Yuan. The victims also saw it with their own eyes! But how did you treat me? The old lady is so aggressive, does it mean that you want people to judge!"

When it comes to asking people to judge, the old lady's face completely stiffened.

Qin Yining got along with the Prince Zhongshun these days. If he wanted to judge, he would naturally ask Prince Zhongshun. Although they still have a plaque with the "Marquis of Anping", the marquis of "Marquis of Anping" was conferred by the previous emperor. Later, they went to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and their days were not necessarily virtuous.

Their future is uncertain.

Qin Yining is a woman who is sure to become Prince Zhongshun.

No matter whether she is a concubine or a concubine, she will live a lifetime of glory, wealth, and honor, not to mention that if she blows a pillow by the side of Prince Zhongshun, she may be able to break the life and death of these people.

Thinking of this, the arrogant arrogance of the old lady no longer exists, and she wants to say a few nice words, but she can't put her face away.

After all, it was Mother Qin who was on the side who could best understand the meaning of the master. Seeing the embarrassment of the old lady, she immediately knelt down to Qin Yining.

"Fourth Miss, please calm down. What happened that day was entirely the slave's own opinion and private actions. Please forgive the Fourth Miss."

Qin Yining's eyes softened. She respected Qin mama very much. Qin mama was not only loyal to the old lady, but also very knowledgeable. Qin Yining always remembered that Qin mama once helped her.

Her face softened, and she helped Numa Qin get up with both hands: "Mother Qin doesn't have to do this. I didn't want to pursue this matter."

Looking at the old lady coldly, "In the future, everyone will not interfere with each other, and it's okay to be respectful to each other."

The old lady had a gloomy face, although Qin Yining's refusal to pursue her made her relieved, she still felt that she had lost face.

Qin Yining ignored the old lady and Qin Huining, just nodded to Miss Eighth, took Sun's hand and returned to Shuorenzhai's own boudoir, and carefully inquired about the situation in these days.

Sun only said that everything was the same as before, so he took Qin Yining's hand and asked in a low voice, "Sister Yi, you and Prince Zhongshun... Have you made up your mind to follow Prince Zhongshun in the future?"

Qin Yining's face turned red for a moment, as if she could drip blood. She naturally knew what her mother's question meant, and after a few coughs, she felt less embarrassed.

"Don't think about it too much, mother, there is nothing between me and him. But people from the outside world have long regarded us as a couple. If I am not with him, the public opinion will not allow it."

Hearing this, Mrs Sun understood and said, "Being a mother has no other meaning. I'm just afraid that your life is not good. Our family's status is not what it used to be. In the past, you and him were a good match, but now the Dayan Dynasty is dead. Now, your father is going to Da Zhou, and he doesn't know if he will become a prisoner. I am afraid that you will suffer."

Qin Yining leaned on Sun's shoulder obediently and said with a smile, "I know that my mother cares about me. But you can rest assured that the Great Zhou Emperor is a person with a deep sense of government, and the current Zhou Dynasty does not allow him to treat his subordinate ministers harshly. So our family went to Dazhou, not only will we not lose our lives, maybe my father has more room for development."

"Really?" Sun shi looked at Qin Yining with hope.

Qin Yining said with a smile, "Of course it's true. After all, it was not long before the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. At the beginning of the year, the treasury of the Northern Ji Kingdom was emptied by the successive years of expeditions, and the Zhou Dynasty took over it was a mess. In addition, in the past two years, there have been Tartars in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There is a war with us in the south, and the war is huge. If the Zhou Dynasty wants to stabilize the country, it will take at least 20 years of peace and prosperity to develop the economy and recuperate, and to develop these, it needs capable ministers and talents. "

"The emperor of the Zhou Dynasty is not a fool like our Taihuang. He doesn't know how to kill chickens and retrieve eggs. Naturally, he will reuse capable ministers like my father. What's more, he still needs our Dayan's subordinate ministers to do something for him in the courtroom. balance."

Sun's is not stupid. If she was asked to think about these things out of thin air, she might not have imagined it, but Qin Yining explained it to her, and she could understand it.

"What do you mean by balance?"

"The art of the emperor lies in checks and balances. The current state of the dynasty in Da Zhou is a team of cronies who followed the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty to conquer the world. The Northern Ji Kingdom surrendered to the team of surrendered ministers of the Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Zhou urgently needs a third team to join. The most stable situation can be formed by the mutual restraint of the three. And my father happened to be a representative of the subordinate faction of the Yan Dynasty. So my mother can rest assured that the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty will not only not abuse our family, but will reuse me in the short term. Father."

After listening to Qin Yining's analysis of the matter so thoroughly, Mrs Sun finally felt at ease.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Qin Huaiyuan outside the door smiling and saying, "It seems that Sister Yi has improved again."

"Father!" Qin Yining stood up happily.

The door was opened, and Qin Huaiyuan walked in with a smile, "I can't believe it's rare to see you, and I heard whispers from you and your mother."

"I made my father laugh." Qin Yining saluted Qin Huaiyuan, and then asked, "Has father seen Lian Shengjie? Has he made any more unreasonable demands?"
