Qin'er did not expect that Princess Ning would suddenly want to let the old lady taste scented tea. If she had known about it, she would not have given it to Tan'er in advance.
However, Princess Ning did not blame Qin'er after hearing this. It didn't matter whether the old lady drank or not, as long as the old lady felt her intentions. The last time she asked Hua'er to make cakes for the old lady, the old lady
She was quite satisfied with the painting. This time she specially brought Kexin, hoping that the old lady would like Kexin.
"It doesn't matter. Even if the old lady has drunk it, it won't be a big deal. Besides, I brought Kexin there just so I can tell my grandmother how to make the best tasting scented tea." Princess Ning said.
"Thank you, Princess, for not blaming Qin'er. Qin'er knows you shouldn't make your own decisions." Qin'er said quickly.
"When you were recuperating in the Princess' Mansion, thanks to Tan'er taking care of you, you just gave her some tea leaves. Why should I blame you? I just had a whim and thought the scented tea was delicious, so I thought of letting my grandmother try it too.
" Princess Ning said.
"My slave knows." Qin'er said.
Early the next morning, Princess Ning left the palace with Ke Xin and Qin'er. Because Princess Ning asked Qin'er to go to the medicine hall to buy croton, Qin'er got off the carriage halfway.
After having breakfast, Madam also packed up and prepared to go to the Princess's Mansion with Princess Ning.
"Mommy, go to the princess's yard and bring her over," the lady said.
"Yes." Nanny quickly went to the princess's yard.
As a result, in less than a quarter of an hour, grandma returned to the main courtyard.
"Madam, the princess has already set off." Mammy said.
"This girl is avoiding me on purpose," the lady said.
"Madam, should we go there later?" asked the nanny.
"No need, let's go over now and see what this girl wants to do," the lady said.
At this time, Princess Ning was having a meal with the old lady. After breakfast, Princess Ning said to the old lady: "Grandma, Ning'er used to like to plant some jasmine in the yard. Today she is with me.
The girl next to me is the girl who takes care of the flowers and plants every day. The scented tea she makes is very fragrant and is perfect for tasting after a meal. Ning'er asked her to bring some over, why don't you try it with grandma?"
"Ning'er is really thoughtful. Tan'er also made me some scented tea a few days ago. It is indeed very fragrant. Since you have brought everyone here, why not give it a try?" the old lady said.
"Ke Xin, go down and prepare." Princess Ning ordered.
"Yu'er, take Kexin to the kitchen. If she needs anything, go and help her," the old lady ordered.
"Yes, old lady." Yu'er said in response.
So, Ke Xin followed Yu'er to the small kitchen.
"Grandma, Ning'er has told the concubine about your plan to return to the palace. The concubine was very happy after hearing it," Princess Ning said.
"At the end of the year, after the princess's mansion is properly arranged, I will go back and tell your mother not to be too anxious," the old lady said.
"Isn't grandma planning to return to the palace to celebrate the New Year? What else should she do to decorate the princess' palace?" Princess Ning said.
"I will return to the palace in a few days, but the princess's palace cannot be too deserted during the Chinese New Year. Of course, it must be decorated in a lively and lively manner," the old lady said.
"Ning'er has already said that we should go back together to watch the New Year's Eve, but she is so troublesome." Princess Ning said with a cold face.
"It's certainly good that you have this intention, but Yun Ying has her own ideas." The old lady said.
Princess Ning wanted to say a few more words, but when she heard what the old lady said, she had no choice but to shut her mouth.
I don't know how long it took, but Ke Xin and the maid named Yu'er came in with tea. Ke Xin gave the tea to the old lady and put the other cup on Princess Ning's table.
The old lady opened the lid of the cup, and a fragrant aroma came to her face.
"This taste seems to be more fragrant than what I drank before." The old lady said.
Princess Ning gave Ke Xin a look, and Ke Xin took a few steps forward and said to the old lady: "To answer the old lady, because the last tea was given to Miss Tan'er by Sister Qin'er, because of the honey
Because of it, it is a bit sweeter. But the tea that slave made today contains less honey. Therefore, it smells more fragrant."
"So that's it. Thanks to you, I can drink such fragrant tea." The old lady said.
"As long as grandma likes it, Ning'er asked Ke Xin to prepare some more scented tea. It will taste even more delicious after lunch," Princess Ning said.
Just as the grandfather and grandson were saying this, the voice at the door came in and said: "Old madam, madam is here."
"Ning'er, why didn't you come here with your mother and concubine?" the old lady said.
"Ning'er didn't know that the mother-in-law was coming, and the mother-in-law didn't tell Ning'er. Ning'er just thought that the breakfast at the princess's mansion was more delicious, so she took Kexin and came over early." Princess Ning said.
"Let her come in," the old lady said.
Soon, the lady walked in.
"I didn't expect Ning'er to wake up so early and come here without breakfast," the lady said.
"Ning'er was thinking about her grandmother, so she came here early." Princess Ning said.
Ke Xin served tea to Madam. Madam took a sip, looked at Ke Xin, and asked, "How come this tea is so fragrant?"
"Ning'er brought this scented tea to me this morning, and I think it tastes great," the old lady said.
Because there was serious business today, Madam did not continue to ask questions. Ning'er would not make tea for the old lady for no reason, and I don't know what she had planned.
Seeing that she was lost in thought, the old lady asked, "Why are you here today?"
The lady came back to her senses, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Mother, my daughter-in-law has heard about it, but I don't know when you plan to go back."
"I just told Ning'er about this matter. I might go back later. No matter what, I have to decorate the princess' mansion." The old lady said.
"Mother, my daughter-in-law wants to discuss this matter with you," the lady said.
"Do you want me to go back earlier?" the old lady asked.
"My daughter-in-law didn't mean that. She just thinks that Yun Ying should go back together. After all, she is also the eldest daughter of Cheng, so how can she be left alone in the princess's mansion. Before New Year's Eve, she will kowtow to her ancestors," the lady said.
"You are thoughtful, but this kid also has some ideas of his own. I can't persuade him to do anything, so I can only let him stay in the princess's mansion. Fortunately, Tan'er will stay in the princess' mansion if he doesn't go back with me.
The two of us can also be companions, so that I can go back with you with peace of mind," the old lady said.
"Won't Tan'er come back with mother?" the lady asked.
"Tan'er probably won't go back with me. She and Yun Ying get along very well, and they both live in the attic together," the old lady said.
"Mother, why don't we let them go back together? Although Yun Ying is accompanied by Tan'er, the palace is still more lively," the lady said.
"I know what you mean, but Yun Ying has her own ideas, so don't force her," the old lady said.
"Grandma, Ning'er thinks it's better to invite her out and let the mother-in-law tell her in person. If she still doesn't agree, at least the mother-in-law has tried her best. Yun Ying has always been reasonable, I don't think she will refuse to agree, right?" Ning Jun
The Lord said.
"Ning'er, don't be rude." Madam said.
"Ning'er is right. Aunt Qing, please go to the attic and bring Yun Ying over," the old lady said.
"Yes." Aunt Qing said.
Aunt Qing was a little helpless. She didn't expect that Madam came here for this matter. However, Princess Ning never liked Yun Ying, so why would she want Yun Ying to return to the palace?
"Princess, this is what happened." Aunt Qing said.
"Is this what Madam came here specifically to talk about?" Yun Ying asked.
"Yes, it seems that I came here just for this matter." Aunt Qing said.
"I understand, let's go." Yun Ying said.
"Princess, we don't want to go back, can she still force us to go back?" Yinyin asked excitedly.
Yun Ying didn't say anything, but followed Aunt Qing to the main courtyard.
"Grandma, madam." Yun Ying entered the room and said respectfully.
"You're here, come and sit down." The old lady said to Yun Ying with a smile.
"Yes." Yun Ying quickly walked over and sat down.
"Madam wants to discuss something with you, so I can only invite you over." The old lady said.
"I wonder if there is anything Madam wants to discuss with Yun Ying?" Yun Ying asked.
"Actually, it's about the old lady going back. You know it's the end of the year, and we should invite the old lady back. However, if the old lady goes back with us, you and Tan'er will be the only ones left in the princess mansion. What's the matter with the Chinese New Year?
How can you be so deserted? You are the eldest daughter of Prince Cheng County, so you must go back and kowtow to your ancestors," the lady said.
"Yunying understands Madam's intention, but Yunying doesn't want to cause trouble." Yunying replied.
"I know you are a sensible girl, but this is your first year back, so I still hope you can go back to celebrate the New Year," the lady said.
"I have already made an agreement with my grandmother that I will stay at the Princess's Mansion to watch the New Year's Eve. Yun Ying originally planned to return to the countryside at the end of the year, but my grandmother would definitely be very worried. That's why I agreed to my grandmother's stay at the Princess's Mansion.
Yun Ying said.
"My mother-in-law came here specifically to beg you to go back, but you refused again and again. People in the capital say that Yun Ying is smart and sensible. Are you deliberately trying to embarrass my mother-in-law?" Princess Ning said excitedly.
"Princess, you are too worried. I have never thought about embarrassing Madam. I just think that one more thing is worse than one less thing. I believe you don't want to see me, so why should I go back and cause trouble for you?" Yun Ying said.
"I don't care anymore about having a sister like you. What does it matter if you don't come back? What's more, even if I don't admit it, things have already happened. As the eldest daughter of Chengjun Prince's family, she should return to the mansion to pay tribute to all the ancestors.
Kowtow. Since you have recognized your ancestors and returned to the clan, why do you still stay in the princess' mansion?" Princess Ning said.
"Madam, Yun Ying didn't mean to embarrass you. I hope you don't mind. Yun Ying is used to being alone, and she doesn't adapt to being too lively. Fortunately, Yun Ying and Tan'er are very close to each other, and they don't feel lonely." Yun Ying
said.
"In that case, I won't force you any longer. When the time comes, you can go to the palace with Tan'er to pay your respects to your grandmother," the lady said.
"Yes, madam." Yun Ying said.
"Concubine, she clearly doesn't take you seriously, why do you want to accommodate her like this?" Princess Ning said angrily.
Yun Ying ignored Princess Ning and said respectfully to the old lady and his wife: "Grandma, madam, if there is nothing else, Yun Ying will leave first."
