In the past few days, Princess Ning still went to greet the old lady every day, but she didn't mention anything about Hua'er. The old lady knew that Princess Ning had not given up the idea, but was waiting for an opportunity.
In the afternoons of these days, Princess Ning was still copying Buddhist scriptures in her room, and did not tell Qin'er about the past.
Princess Ning just came back from the princess's mansion today. Princess Ning sat in the room and sighed. Qin'er has been back for more than ten days. She found that although Qin'er's habits are still exactly the same as before, Qin'er's temperament seems to be the same as before.
It's different, as if he has changed into a different person. Qin'er looks very much like Hua'er now. In this case, can Qin'er still help her deal with Yun Ying?
The reason why she has been holding back from telling Qin'er about the past is that she hopes Qin'er can remember it by herself. Unfortunately, more than ten days have passed and Qin'er has not remembered anything.
"Princess, the tea is ready." Ke Xin said.
"Kexin, what is Qin'er doing?" Princess Ning asked.
"Sister Qin'er is stewing tonic for you in the small kitchen. It should be ready soon," Ke Xin said.
"I know, come with me to the main courtyard." Princess Ning said.
"The princess wants to see Madam?" Kexin asked.
"Yeah." Princess Ning said.
Last time, the old lady just mentioned that she wanted to go back to the palace to watch the New Year, but she was not sure whether she would go back or not. When she went to greet the old lady today, the old lady told herself that she would definitely return to the palace. She needed to tell her father and mother about this.
, so I planned to take Kexin to the main courtyard.
However, she didn't expect that Yun Ying would be so vigilant and refused to come back with the old lady. She suddenly thought that she could take this opportunity to live in the palace for a few days. In this way, she would have plenty of opportunities to take action. After all, the palace is her own home.
, she doesn’t have to worry about anything she wants to do.
It's a pity that Yun Ying didn't agree, and now Qin'er can't help her make an idea.
"Princess, after returning from the princess's mansion, I noticed that you seemed not very happy." Ke Xin asked.
"My sister refuses to go back to the palace to watch the New Year's Eve together, so naturally I'm not happy," Princess Ning said.
Ke Xin heard Princess Ning mention Yun Ying, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions.
After entering the main courtyard, Madam looked a little surprised and asked, "Why are you here at this time?"
"Mother, concubine, Ning'er mentioned to her grandmother about returning to the palace a few days ago, but she was not sure that she would come back. Today, Ning'er asked her again and she has confirmed that she will definitely come back," Princess Ning said.
"It's really great. I was worried that my grandmother wouldn't come back. If it's confirmed now, I'll quickly arrange for my servants to clean up my mother's yard," the lady said.
"Ning'er was still worried that grandma wouldn't want to come back. She didn't expect grandma to be willing to come back," Princess Ning said.
"Ning'er, is grandma the only one coming back?" the lady asked.
Princess Ning hesitated and said: "Well, Yun Ying refuses to come back."
"How can we let her stay up alone in the princess's mansion?" the lady said.
"Concubine, since she doesn't want to come back, forget it." Princess Ning said.
"Yunying is the eldest daughter of the Cheng family, and she should indeed kowtow to her ancestors. Although Yunying has long recognized her ancestors and returned to the clan, our family has not had a good meal together," the lady said.
"My mother-in-law, she doesn't want to come back. It has nothing to do with us." Princess Ning said.
"She was worried that we would be awkward, so she refused. I think I will go over and persuade her tomorrow morning, hoping she can come back," the lady said.
"Concubine, why do you still ask her to come back?" Princess Ning asked.
"Don't be so hostile to her. Did she ever resent you for what you did to her before?" the lady said.
"But..." Princess Ning didn't know what to say.
"But what? The old lady asks you to copy Buddhist scriptures every day just to let you calm down and think about whether what you are doing is right. But what about you? You are still thinking about how to deal with Yun Ying all day long."
Princess Ning admitted that her mother-in-law was right, Yun Ying did not have any plans to deal with her. As for whether she resented her, it was unknown.
Yun Ying has Princess Pluto supporting her, so if she wants to deal with herself, it will be easy.
She knew she shouldn't target Yun Ying, but every time she saw her, she couldn't help but want to embarrass her.
"Go back and think carefully about whether what the concubine said is right or not," the lady said.
Princess Ning knew that she had made her mother and concubine angry, and she had already talked about business anyway, so she turned and left the main courtyard. However, Madam did not notice that when she left, the corners of Princess Ning's mouth were raised.
When Princess Ning returned, Qin'er had already stewed the tonic and sent it to the house.
Seeing that Princess Ning's face was not very good, Qin'er asked, "What's wrong with Princess Ning?"
"She's not a concubine yet." Princess Ning said.
"Princess, please try the tonic stewed by Qin'er. I wonder if the taste is the same as before." Qin'er said.
"Oh, nothing tastes good now," Princess Ning said.
Qin'er didn't know why the princess was so unhappy, so she asked: "Has the princess been taught a lesson by the madam?"
"Did you know that Princess Yunying in the princess's mansion is not my biological sister?" Princess Ning said.
"This slave knows." Qin'er said.
"She is my half-sister, but her mother didn't know how to charm her father. Even if she died, she still got the title of a royal concubine. Then what is my mother-in-law? She can only be a step-concubine. Become a concubine.
After becoming the princess, she was still not satisfied, and even tried to sow discord between her grandmother and her brother. Even now, my grandmother refuses to come back. Fortunately, she only promised to come back for the New Year. However, my mother-in-law just told me that she wanted to invite Yun Ying back.
Whenever I see her, I remember that she plotted against me when I was in the palace. In the end, she stayed out of it. Fortunately, my eldest brother protected me and brought me back from the palace." Princess Ning said.
"Why is that princess so cruel? Since she has become the princess and the eldest daughter, why is she plotting against the princess?" Qin'er asked confused.
"Because my mother-in-law will help me arrange the marriage, and will also ask Concubine Yun to come forward, and finally your majesty will grant the marriage. Before I reach the age of hairpins, I will choose a good and auspicious day to get married. And she has already passed the age of hairpins.
, not even an engagement. Come to think of it, I can only spend my whole life in the princess's mansion." Princess Ning said.
"Is it because of this that she often plots against you?" Qin'er asked.
"In the past, because I was very willful, even if she plotted against me, no one would believe my words. Even if I went to greet the old lady every day, I would not want to meet her," Princess Ning said.
"Didn't you tell Madam after so many things happened? Doesn't even Madam believe what the princess said?" Qin'er asked.
"My mother-in-law is kind-hearted. She always thinks that she is too doting on me, so I am so willful. She doesn't believe what I say at all," Princess Ning said.
"Then you tell the old lady, she can't help but believe what you say, right?" Qin'er said.
"Grandma didn't like me very much before, and she doesn't like me even more since Yun Ying came back. Recently, I have been following the rules, which made my grandmother treat me differently. If I suddenly mentioned this to my grandmother, she would definitely think that I
He is jealous of Yun Ying, so he slanders her like this." Princess Ning said.
"Princess, since Madam has decided to invite her back, don't worry too much. Anyway, she can only stay in the palace for a month at most, so why do you need to care?" Qin'er said.
"Qin'er, can you do me a favor?" Princess Ning said.
"Whatever the princess needs Qin'er to do, just ask." Qin'er said.
"I know that I don't have the ability to stop my mother-in-law, but I just won't give in. I want to go to some places and buy some crotons. Even if she comes back, I will make her look embarrassed," Princess Ning said.
"I know this. If Princess Yunying agrees to come back, I will definitely help the princess vent her anger," Qin'er said.
"By the way, no one can talk about this matter. You must remember it." Princess Ning said.
"I know this, but the princess can't let you suffer all the time. I think it's better to tell Tan'er about this and let Tan'er help you tell the old lady." Qin'er said.
"No, we can't tell her." Princess Ning said.
"If she is willing to tell the old lady, the old lady will definitely send someone to check. As long as the situation is true, the old lady will never sit idly by and ignore it." Qin'er said.
"Don't tell anyone about this, including her." Princess Ning ordered.
"Yes, this slave knows." Qin'er said.
"If you tell Tan'er about this, she will definitely tell my grandmother for me. When grandma investigates in private, she will know that it was you who told Tan'er. In the end, grandma will only think that I am making trouble unreasonably." Princess Ning said.
.
"But, what you said is all true. The old lady can investigate clearly, why do they not believe you?" Qin'er asked.
"Because I was too willful in the past, I caused a lot of trouble. Because I regretted that I shouldn't have been like this, I went to greet my grandmother every day. My grandmother didn't like me before, and it was also because I was too willful." Princess Ning said.
"But, if something happens to Princess Yunying when she returns to the palace, won't she still be blamed on you?" Qin'er said.
"So, what does it matter if we just give her some crotons?" Princess Ning said.
"I know, I know. When you go to pay your respects to the old lady tomorrow, I will buy some crotons and bring them back," Qin'er said.
"I will take Kexin to the princess's mansion tomorrow morning. Then you can go to the medicine hall and buy some crotons." Princess Ning said.
"This slave knows." Qin'er said.
"Go and call Kexin in, and I'll tell her something." Princess Ning said.
"yes."
In less than a quarter of an hour, Ke Xin entered the house.
"Princess." Ke Xin said.
"I will go to the Princess's Mansion with me tomorrow morning to pay my respects to my grandmother. Please prepare some scented tea to take with you," Princess Ning said.
"Yes." Ke Xin said.
"I'll go to the princess's mansion tomorrow and make a pot of scented tea for grandma to try." Princess Ning said.
"This slave knows." Ke Xin said.
After Ke Xin left, Princess Ning was still a little uneasy, so she called Qin'er in and said to her: "Qin'er, I asked Ke Xin to prepare some scented tea. You go take a look and help her prepare it."
"The princess plans to make scented tea for the old lady?" Qin'er said.
"That's right, grandma has never drunk this kind of tea. I plan to let Ke Xin make it for her to try." Princess Ning said.
"Princess, I asked Ke Xin to make some scented tea before and gave it to Tan'er when I went to the Princess' mansion that day. I should tell you, the old lady may have tasted it," Qin'er said.
