Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 79 Cousin has obviously fallen into the tender homeland of the Shen family daughter

Yesterday, when she followed her young lady to pick him up outside the gate, even though Qingluan was covered with gauze and she couldn't see his true face, the attentive Ziyun still recognized him at a glance based on his stature and bearing. The person who came was yesterday's palace. Here comes the Ninth Princess.

She hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Ninth Princess is well."

Qingluan asked calmly: "Are my cousin and cousin here?"

Ziyun lowered his head and replied: "The prince went on errands early in the morning, and my wife just got up and is washing up inside."

Although Ziyun's words were euphemistic, they also meant to persuade her to leave. It was not appropriate for her young lady to meet guests before she had tidied up properly, especially this uninvited guest.

Unexpectedly, Qingluan said: "I came here specifically to visit my cousin-in-law. Since she is here, please help me lead the way."

 This means you have to go in.

Ziyun naturally did not dare to be rude, so she quickly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Princess, please come in."

Ziyun followed Qingluan in small steps to lead the way, his eyes quietly sizing up the ninth princess who had troubled his young lady so much.

Her figure is slender, as tall as a willow tree, and her eyebrows are picturesque but seem to be filled with indescribable sadness. She looks pitiful and has no aura that a princess should have.

Jingshu had just dressed up when she saw Ziyun leading Qingluan into the house. Although she was surprised in her heart, it didn't show on her face. She put on a faint smile and stepped forward to greet her: "How are you, cousin Huang?"

Qingluan returned the greeting slowly: "When I first came to the mansion, I heard that I caused a lot of trouble to my cousin, and I felt really bad about it, so I came here to visit me today."

Although the words were perfectly polite, Jingshu knew clearly in her heart that she was not here to express her gratitude. As for why she rushed to her so early in the morning on the second day after entering the mansion, she was probably the only one who knew best.

Jingshu said politely: "Cousin, don't be polite. Grandma has been looking forward to the stars and the moon all day long, waiting for the emperor's cousin to come."

In the whole family, it is estimated that only the old lady is looking forward to this charming princess.

The two of them sat down while chatting. Ziyun served Qingluan some fragrant tea, then turned to Jingshu and said, "Madam, you haven't had breakfast yet. Drinking tea will hurt your stomach. Before the prince went out early in the morning, he specifically asked the servant to serve him. You made bird's nest porridge, do you want to use some?"

Jingshu replied: "I'm not hungry yet, let's warm it up first."

Qingluan came here with a purpose in mind. From the moment she first entered Qingfeng Garden and met Ziyun and her, Qingluan captured a lot of information she wanted to know from these two words.

 The woman opposite got up late today.

His cousin specifically asked his servants to cook nourishing porridge for her.

Qingluan's heart sank. He exchanged greetings with Jingshu without saying a word, but his slender eyes began to look at her quietly.

This daughter of the Shen family, Qingluan was shocked by her beauty when he saw her for the first time yesterday. Although she lives in the inner palace, she has been trying to find out about this daughter of the Shen family. She knows that she is a beauty, but she I was not born badly, so I still held a trace of unspeakable luck in my heart.

　　That day when she saw the portrait copied by Zhi Hua, she already felt timid. Until she met the Shen family girl yesterday, her heart hit rock bottom.

 This woman was so beautiful that it broke her heart.

Qingluan couldn't sleep well last night. Her personal maid kept comforting her and said, "So what if you are beautiful? The heir apparent of the Li family is not lewd."

She could only comfort her heart that was shattered by Shen's beauty. With a little luck, she couldn't wait to come over early in the morning to explore.

 However, she seemed to have thought wrong again.

There was still a hint of spring in the brows and eyes of the woman across from her. Because she had just stood up, she was still wearing simple casual clothes, and there was a faint trace of uniqueness between the collar. Even the room was filled with the charming atmosphere that had not dissipated.

There is also the nourishing porridge that her cousin specially ordered from the maidservant's mouth.

  She is also a grown-up girl. Although she has not experienced the affairs between men and women, she also understands it. She was thinking about her good cousin who was not good at beauty, and she was obviously deeply trapped in the gentle land of this Shen girl.

After a while, the lady in charge of the front yard came to talk to Jing Shu one after another.

Qingluan smiled and said: "Cousin-in-law, please be busy, I won't disturb you here."

Naturally, Jingshu didn't want to make excuses with her, and said politely: "There are a lot of things in the house during the first month of the year. I'll go visit my cousin after I'm done."

Qingluan bowed slightly, lowered his eyes, and walked away lonely.

After seeing her off, Jingshu let out a long breath. With a woman's unique intuition, Jingshu could clearly sense that this imperial cousin was really passionate about Li Ling.

If you want her to give up, I'm afraid it won't happen overnight.

Qingluan was about to step into the gate of Zizhu Pavilion where she was staying, when the nanny from Anxi Hall rushed over and saluted Qingluan respectfully: "Princess, the old lady invites you to come over."

After experiencing the blow just now, Qingluan naturally had no thoughts at the moment. She replied calmly: "I'll go see my grandma in the evening."

The grandma smiled and said, "It's the third master and the third girl who are with the old lady and want to visit you."

The third girl is easy to talk to, but Li Xiang is a foreigner, so it is naturally difficult to come to meet her at the cave. Qingluan replied: "In that case, then I will go with grandma."

When Qingluan came to Anxi Hall, he saw that the third master Li Xiang and the third girl Jinyan were chatting and laughing around the old lady. When Qingluan came in, Li Xiang stood up and saluted: "My dear cousin, Anxi."

The third girl did not get up, she just followed Li Xiang and said to Qingluan with a smile: "Cousin Huang, Ann."

Qingluan is sensitive by nature, so how could he not see that although the third girl was smiling at her, the smile did not reach her eyes.

She responded politely, but she felt worried in her heart: Apart from her grandmother, no one else in this family really cared about her.

When the old lady saw her granddaughter, her smile turned into a flower and she greeted her: "Come to grandma quickly."

Qingluan slowly walked to the old lady and sat down next to her. The old lady turned to Nanny Xu and said, "Bring a hand warmer. Qingluan has been afraid of the cold since he was a child."

 Seeing her grandmother being so attentive to her cousin, the third girl could no longer keep the smile on her face.

Mother Xu glanced at the third girl's face and asked with a smile: "Third Miss, would you like me to buy you a hand stove?"

The third girl sneered and replied: "Mommy, please don't buy me any hand stove. The house is burning so hot that I feel uncomfortable all over from the heat. Besides, I'm used to being rough and I'm not used to using it." That thing."

Aunt Xu heard the call between the three girls with guns and sticks, and she was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer it. Qingluan smiled bitterly, turned to Aunt Xu and said: "Mom, don't be busy, I'm not cold either. "

The old lady calmed down the situation and said to her grandchildren, "You two haven't seen your royal cousin for several years."

The third girl picked up the tea cup and just drank tea without saying anything.

Li Xiang smiled and replied: "No, it's only been three or four years."

Qingluan smiled and echoed: "The last time I met my cousin, you were still a half-year-old child who cried whenever something went wrong."

Li Xiang smiled awkwardly and said: "The last time we met was when we went to the Princess Mansion to celebrate my mother's birthday three or four years ago. The second brother went up to the tree to pick fruits for us that day. That eighth princess of yours was so domineering, alone. They snatched away all the big fruits and left no one for us, so I cried a lot because of this."

Hearing this, Qingluan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed. The old lady also laughed heartily. She looked at her grandson and then her granddaughter: "It's better now. You have all grown up."
