Return of the Swallow

Seeing how much the spies loved Qin Yining, Qin Huaiyuan stood in the corridor with his hands behind his hands and couldn't help but smile.

He didn't blame Qin Yining for handling the matter without consulting him. Instead, he felt that his daughter's resourcefulness was becoming more and more mature. Such a method of killing two birds with one stone is not something that everyone can imagine.

Cao Yuqing stood next to Qin Huaiyuan, looking at his smiling profile, she couldn't help but laugh, and said: "The fourth lady is better than her master, and she will have a successor in the future."

"Yes." Qin Huaiyuan nodded slightly.

Although he regretted that he did not have a son, now that he was like this, what was there to force?

Besides, his daughter must be good-looking, talented, resourceful, affectionate and righteous, and have keen senses in court affairs. Every time she points out the current problems, he can shine.

Such a well-behaved and sensible daughter is simply beyond the reach of those second-generation ancestors riding horses in Shiba Street. What's so great about giving birth to a son like that? It would be great if they could also raise a smart and beautiful daughter!

Qin Huaiyuan couldn't help but smile heartily and walked towards the old lady and others who had already come out.

"Old lady, look at it. I said that the eldest man will be fine. How important the Lord is to the eldest man." The second lady said jokingly, holding the old lady's arm.

The old lady nodded with a smile on her face, took Qin Huaiyuan's arm and said, "Next time the Holy Father will ask you to run an errand, please remember to send a message to your family, so as not to worry about your mother."

"I understand, mother." Qin Huaiyuan smiled and comforted, "Now we are on a firm footing. As long as we live peacefully, we don't have to worry too much in the future."

"Seriously?" The old lady grabbed Qin Huaiyuan's arm in surprise.

Qin Huaiyuan felt a little sad when he saw his old mother like this. He smiled and said, "I take it seriously. As long as you live your life and don't cause trouble, that's fine."

"That's good, that's good." The old lady smiled and nodded repeatedly, then turned around and ordered Nanny Qin to ask someone to prepare the meal.

Qin Yining had a reunion dinner with his family, washed himself after the meal, dipped his hands in the pillow and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Jiyun, who was going up for the night, heard a noise from the back window. He suddenly woke up and looked back, only to see Pang Xiao coming out of the corner door of the bathroom behind the bed.

Ji Yun couldn't help but feel funny.

Counting the days, the prince should be here in the next few days. He smiled and saluted, then quietly opened the door and exited.

Pang Xiao sat down beside Qin Yining's bed and looked at Qin Yining who was sleeping soundly with the help of a dim light from Ji Yunliu.

She was lying on her side, her fair cheek pressed against the pillow whose exact color could not be seen under the candlelight. Her lips were slightly open, revealing two slightly larger front teeth. Her long hair was scattered on the pillow, making her small, palm-sized face look even more beautiful. Smaller. The shadows cast by the long eyelashes under the eyes are like two small fans.

Pang Xiao gently rubbed her cheek with his index finger.

Qin Yining dodged in a daze, frowned and muttered.

Pang Xiao couldn't help but chuckle, and couldn't help but lean over and kiss her on the cheek.

After several days of exhaustive thinking, Qin Yining was always in a high degree of exhaustion. If she had woken up long ago on normal days, there was no sign of waking up today. She still frowned and snorted and fell into a deep sleep.

Pang Xiao didn't wake her up, he just sat aside and looked at her quietly, twirling a strand of her long hair with his fingers and playing with it. When he got tired from sitting, he would lie on his side on the edge of her bed for a while.

It wasn't until the night got darker that he kissed her lips again and said softly in a breathy voice: "I'm leaving. I'll see you next time--\u003e\u003e

. "

What answered him was Qin Yining's regular breathing while sleeping.

Pang Xiao chuckled, climbed out of the window and left.

Early the next morning, when Qin Yining got up to wash up, she found that she had several twisted little braids on her head.

She was covering her mouth to yawn when she met Ji Yun's teasing eyes.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yining took the green salt and brushed his teeth.

Ji Yun took the handkerchief and prepared it aside, and whispered: "The braids on the girl's head are all the work of the prince."

Qin Yining was startled and muttered, "What?"

"Last night, the girl slept deeply. The prince didn't wake you up when he came. He just sat aside and watched you sleep. Maybe he was bored, so he played with your hair. Unexpectedly, he braided several little braids for you. Are you stunned? reaction."

Qin Yining said dumbfounded: "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"As soon as the prince comes, the servant will naturally retreat. You should go back and ask the prince why he didn't wake you up."

Qin Yining's face turned red from embarrassment. She rolled her eyes at Ji Yun and whispered, "I must have learned bad things from being with Bingtang, and my words have become more and more poisonous."

Ji Yun smiled even more happily when he saw Qin Yining being so embarrassed.

With all the troubles relieved and in a good mood, Qin Yining wanted to find time to discuss business matters with shopkeeper Zhong Da.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they changed their clothes, someone shouted loudly from outside: "Fourth girl, the eldest lady wants you to go to the front hall quickly."

Qin Yining was stunned for a moment, straightened the hairpin on his head, pushed the door open and said, "What does my mother want from me?"

"Go back to my lady, a nun came to the palace just now to convey the Queen Mother's instructions, saying that she wanted to see the eldest lady."

Qin Yining suddenly became nervous. The person who just sent the message didn't open her mouth. She didn't know about it!

She quickened her pace worriedly, fearing that her mother would be wronged. When she arrived in the front hall, she saw Mrs. Sun talking to a nanny in her forties who was dressed as a palace official.

Seeing Qin Yining enter the door, the nun stood up and saluted and said: "Miss Qin is well. My surname is Chen. I serve the Queen Mother. Today the Queen Mother invites Mrs. Qin and Miss Qin to the palace for a reunion."

Qin Yining was very confused when he heard this, but there was a flattered expression on his face, "The Queen Mother has summoned us. We are not prepared for this, and we are really afraid of bumping into the Queen Mother."

Nanny Chen said with a smile: "Miss Qin is joking. The Queen Mother knows that Mr. Qin is a minister of the Holy Emperor, and she has been looking for an opportunity to meet you and your wife. Today, the female relatives of various families came to the palace to pay their respects, and the Queen Mother ordered her servants to come and pick her up. You and Madam Qin, you and Madam really don’t need to be nervous.”

It would be a lie to say I'm not nervous. Sun's nervous palms were sweating now. She really wanted to say that Qin Huaiyuan was in court and they had to wait until Qin Huaiyuan came home before making a decision. But thinking about it, she knew whether to say this after all. appropriate.

Qin Yining calmed down.

No matter what the Queen Mother wants to do, it will not kill them. If they don't lose their lives, other things will not be considered a big deal.

"Then I'll have to help Grandma Chen."

"Where are you talking?" Seeing Qin Yining so happy, Grandma Chen said with a smile: "The carriage is ready. The Queen Mother specially ordered to pick up the lady. Can you two leave with the servants?"

"Yes." Qin Yining agreed with a smile, then turned around and told Xianyun: "Go and tell the old lady." He took Jiyun and Bingtang, supported Sun, and followed Grandma Chen out of the house.
