Yun Ying thought that the old lady would persuade her to follow her back to the palace to watch the New Year's Eve. She was indeed from the Cheng family and should go back to watch the New Year's Eve with her grandmother. However, if she went back, she would cause another scene. Why would she need to do anything for herself during the Chinese New Year?
What about adding to the congestion?
As a result, the old lady did not persuade me to go back with her, but wanted to discuss other things. What exactly did the old lady want to discuss with me?
"Grandma, what are you planning to discuss with Yun Ying?" Yun Ying asked.
"I know you don't want to go back, so I plan to help you decorate the Princess's Mansion. It's too deserted to leave you alone in the Princess's Mansion. Therefore, only when the Princess's Mansion is bustling can I feel free to go back to the Prince's Mansion to stay up late.
" said the old lady.
"Yunying knows what grandma wants. Grandma can just take care of it. Anyway, grandma has the final say in everything in the house." Yunying said.
"You girl are really good at hiding." The old lady said with a smile.
"Grandma, I'll leave the New Year shopping to you," Yun Ying said.
"Qin'er just went back yesterday, and today Ning'er and her daughter came over to take Hua'er away," the old lady said.
"Didn't they already promise Hua'er to stay in the princess' mansion?" Yun Ying asked.
"Never give the painting to them," said the old lady.
"Grandma is right. Qin'er has lost her memory now, and I heard her temperament is very different from before. When Princess Ning sees Qin'er like this, she will get angry at Hua'er. If Hua'er stays in the palace, she will lose her life sooner or later.
Yun Ying said.
"That's what I was worried about, so I didn't agree to their request," the old lady said.
"I understand that Madam wants to take the painting back," Yun Ying said.
"What she is most worried about now is that Ning'er has done something wrong, and Hua'er is someone close to her. She wants Hua'er to go back just to keep an eye on Ning'er," the old lady said.
"It seems that Madam is really scared." Yun Ying said.
"If Ning'er continues to make trouble, it will only implicate Prince Cheng's palace. And it was Qin'er's idea that Ning'er poisoned you in the palace. Therefore, Madam has always wanted Qin'er to disappear. If it weren't for Princess Pluto's
Pills, Qin'er may have become a dead person by now." The old lady said.
"Actually, it's my grandmother who is kind, otherwise I would have just handed Qin'er over to Madam," Yun Ying said.
"Because Qin'er has really never harmed Hua'er, and I don't think I have wronged her. Although she helped Ning'er enter the palace and cause trouble, it was all because Ning'er herself was restless," the old lady said.
Yun Ying knew that what the old lady said was right. It was because Princess Ning was restless that she gave Qin'er an opportunity to take advantage of her. She could see that Qin'er was ambitious. But she didn't know what Qin'er wanted.
I can't tell. I heard that Princess Ning had promised to send Qin'er to the prince's yard, but Qin'er rejected her.
I used to dress up beautifully just to attract the prince's attention. But why did I give up so easily when I had such a good opportunity?
"Grandma, don't you plan to keep Hua'er with you? In this case, will you take her back in a few days?" Yun Ying said.
"If I go back to the palace, I will only take Aunt Qing with me. I will leave Tan'er here to keep you company. When the time comes, Hua'er will also stay at the princess's palace to watch the New Year with you." The old lady said.
"Yunying knows." Yunying said.
The old lady talked to Yun Ying for a while, and then returned to her yard after Tan'er came back.
When Yun Ying saw Tan'er coming back, she quickly pulled her and said, "Tan'er, my grandmother has promised me that I don't have to go back to the palace to celebrate the New Year."
"Do you really want to stay alone in the palace?" Tan'er asked doubtfully.
"How could it be? Grandma said that you should stay with me. By the way, Hua'er won't go back when the time comes." Yun Ying said.
"Did mother really say that? Does that mean Hua'er can stay in the princess' mansion?" Tan'er asked.
"Grandma just came over and said that Princess Ning and Mrs. Ning came here early in the morning just because of the painting. They wanted to take the painting back as if they had already discussed it. Grandma did not agree and told them not to mention it again in the future.
If you go back with Hua'er this time, it will definitely cause trouble." Yun Ying said.
"It seems like we have to buy new year's goods." Tan'er said.
"Grandma means that she will decorate the princess's mansion so that we can have a lively New Year." Yun Ying said with a smile.
"Okay." Tan'er said.
In fact, at the end of every year, Princess Ning’s yard is very lively. Princess Ning’s lanterns are not bought, but are made by the prince himself. The prince will buy all kinds of baubles and give them to the princess.
They were all piled with gifts from the prince.
Since the old lady agreed to let them stay up late at the princess's mansion, she would arrange the yard properly.
"What are you thinking about?" Yun Ying asked.
Yun Ying saw what Tan'er was thinking and was so absorbed in her thoughts, so she waved her hand in front of Tan'er and gently asked her what she was thinking about.
"I was thinking about how to decorate the attic," Tan'er said.
"How is Hua'er?" Yun Ying asked.
"Hua'er's body has recovered, but she was just worried about Qin'er. She was relieved when she heard that Qin'er was fine," Tan'er said.
"Hua'er is a kind-hearted woman." Yun Ying said.
"Because it was not Qin'er who poisoned her, she felt a little guilty. She felt that she had wronged Qin'er, and if anything happened to Qin'er, she would have to bear the blame," Tan'er said.
"Tell Hua'er later that you can stay in the princess's mansion from now on," Yun Ying said.
"She really wanted to see Qin'er. She felt relieved when she heard that Qin'er had come with the princess today and that her health was not serious." Tan'er said.
"Qin'er indeed had no intention of harming her, but she harmed you." Yun Ying said.
"I didn't expect that she would tell the princess that I went to see the old lady. I don't know why she did this. She never cares about these things. Moreover, I did this for the sake of the princess. I went to see the old lady.
, this is what Madam told me before she left," Tan'er said.
"Qin'er did this just to gain Princess Ning's trust. She wanted to make Princess Ning obey her words from now on and only trust her." Yun Ying said slowly.
"She has done this since I left the princess' side." Tan'er said.
Tan'er sighed and continued: "We grew up together and never thought she would do such a thing. Thinking about what happened a few years ago, I'm afraid she was behind it."
"What happened a few years ago?" Yun Ying asked.
"It's Shu'er. Shu'er angered the princess and was beaten to death by the princess," Tan'er said.
"Yes, when we first returned to the palace, Princess Ning had only three people with her. It turns out that one of them is no longer here," Yun Ying said.
"Now that I think about it, I might have been instigated by Qin'er." Tan'er said.
"It seems that we need to give Hua'er a new name now. She is no longer Princess Ning's maid, so she can no longer be called Hua'er," Yun Ying said.
"What are you going to name her?" Tan'er asked.
"Leave the matter of naming to grandma. The name grandma gives you is very nice." Yun Ying said with a smile.
"You're right, let's leave it to mother." Tan'er said.
Chengjun Prince's Mansion
After Princess Ning returned to the palace, she originally planned to take a nap after having lunch. However, she couldn't fall asleep on the couch and finally sat up.
Seeing that Princess Ning was worried, Qin'er asked cautiously: "Princess Princess, you seem to have something on your mind."
Of course Princess Ning couldn't tell her about Hua'er, she just said: "It's not a big deal, forget it. It's better not to think about it."
Princess Ning was worried that she would spill the beans, so she had to tell Qin'er that it was not a big deal.
Qin'er knew that Princess Ning didn't want to tell her, so she said, "I have made some flower tea, why don't you try it, Princess?"
"It's okay, I can't rest well anyway." Princess Ning said.
Qin'er greeted Kexin to come in, and Kexin walked in with a teapot. After pouring it, she said to Princess Ning: "Princess, this time I added some fruits to it. You can try it."
Princess Ning nodded, picked up the cup and smelled it first. The smell was naturally very fragrant. After taking a sip, she said with satisfaction: "Sure enough, the tea with fruit tastes very good, but you added
What fruit?”
"Today I didn't use jasmine flowers to make tea, but cooked it with apples and pears, added some hawthorn, and finally added some honey after it was cooked." Ke Xin said.
"It tastes really good, no wonder it tastes different." Princess Ning said.
"As long as the princess likes it," Ke Xin said.
"After grandma comes back, I want to let grandma try these fruit teas." Princess Ning said.
"Old madam, drinking more fruit tea is also very beneficial to the body." Ke Xin said.
"I didn't expect that this girl like you knows a lot," Princess Ning said.
"Because I like playing with flowers and plants, I read a few more books, so I know this." Ke Xin said.
Princess Ning drank a pot of fruit tea and remembered that it was almost the end of the year, so she said to Qin'er: "Qin'er, after a while, we should go out for a walk."
"What does the princess want to buy?" Qin'er asked.
"The end of the year is coming soon, and South Street will be very lively." Princess Ning said.
"Qin'er understands." Qin'er said.
"When the time comes, let's go together," Princess Ning said.
"Really? Ke Xin can leave the house too? Thank you so much, Princess." Ke Xin said happily.
After Princess Ning went to bed, Qin'er asked Ke Xin to make tea and returned to her room.
"Sister Qin'er, what do you want from me?" Ke Xin asked.
"What's it like during the Chinese New Year? Is it very lively?" Qin'er asked.
"At the end of the year, the mansion is indeed very lively. The most lively courtyard is the princess's courtyard." Ke Xin said.
"The old lady is living in the princess's mansion now. Will she come back at the end of the year?" Qin'er asked.
"The old lady just moved into the princess's mansion this year. According to the princess, the old lady should come back to watch the new year." Ke Xin said.
"Why did the old lady live in the Princess's Mansion? Shouldn't she live in the Prince's Mansion?" Qin'er asked curiously.
"My servant only grows flowers on weekdays and doesn't know anything else. I just know that the old lady has moved to the princess's mansion, and the princess also goes over to pay her respects to the old lady every day," Ke Xin said.
"It would be nice if I could still remember what happened in the past." Qin'er said.
"Sister Qin'er is doing well now. At least we can still sit here and talk." Ke Xin said.
"Were I unfamiliar with you before?" Qin'er asked.
"It should be said that I rarely get to see Sister Qin'er." Ke Xin said.
"Shouldn't we often see them in the kitchen and yard?" Qin'er asked puzzledly.
