Tang Ning was a little confused. There was only one invitation sent by Princess Anyang.
However, this is not the first time he has received an invitation from Princess Anyang. Perhaps this time, she did not invite a woman. Princess Anyang is often in the capital, and many young heroes also respect her.
Xiao Jue leaned against the door and asked, "Why haven't your wedding invitations been sent yet?"
Tang Ning had not planned to invite many people, and it was urgent to send the wedding invitations three days in advance, but now that Xiao Jue was here, she could take them back by herself.
Tang Ning took out a wedding invitation from the drawer and handed it to him. After Xiao Jue took it, she looked at him and asked, "How come you are not so particular at all? You should at least send a servant to the Xiao Mansion?"
"
Their family doesn't have any servants to run errands yet, and there aren't many of them anyway. Tangning plans to deliver all the invitations in person.
He looked at Xiao Jue and asked, "By the way, what's the reason for Princess Anyang's banquet tomorrow night?"
"Princess Anyang is having a banquet tomorrow night?" Xiao Jue looked at him in surprise: "I don't know!"
Tangning asked in confusion, "She didn't invite you?"
Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "No."
This is a bit strange. Princess Anyang has no reason to invite only him and not Xiao Jue. If it is to invite a new scholar, Xiao Jue is also invited. Coupled with his status as the young prince, he has been in the limelight among the young talents in the capital recently.
Wu Er, no one will miss him if he misses him.
Xiao Jue looked at him suspiciously and said: "As far as I know, Princess Anyang will not have any banquet tomorrow. When Princess Fu comes to Beijing this time, Princess Anyang will definitely accompany the princess. How can she have time to invite Princess Fu?"
feast?"
He looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Where is the princess inviting you?"
Tangning looked at the invitation and saw that the address signed was Princess Anyang's Mansion.
Xiao Jue picked up the invitation and looked at it. When he looked at Tangning again, his expression became a little uneasy.
"The princess came to Beijing, and Princess Anyang did not invite anyone else, but she invited you to the princess's mansion...Did you do something that I don't know about?"
After Xiao Jue's analysis, let alone him, even Tangning couldn't help but wonder if there was some adultery involved - but he and the Anyang Princess had only met once and had never spoken to each other.
In other words, there is definitely no such thing as adultery or illicit love.
Qing'er ran in from outside and said, "Uncle, there is another letter here. I almost forgot about it just now."
"Is there still a letter?" Xiao Jue looked over immediately.
The envelope was empty, not a single word was written on it. Tang Ning opened the envelope and found only a small note inside.
"Enter through the back door of the princess's mansion tomorrow. I'll wait for you."
Xiao Jue looked at him and couldn't help but said: "You are going to get married soon, and you hooked up with a princess. Are you lacking any virtue?"
Tang Ning looked down again and saw that the note was signed Tang Shui.
Xiao Jue was startled for a moment, then looked at him and said, "I know there is a miracle doctor in the capital who has been practicing massage and bone setting for generations. Do you want me to pay attention to him?"
Tangning looked at him with slightly confused eyes.
Xiao Jue explained: "There used to be a guy in the capital who eloped with his own sister. Later, he was caught by his family and his leg was broken. It was the miracle doctor who connected it. However, you are not close, so you may not be able to do it.
Break your legs, but let me help you keep an eye on it..."
Tangning looked at him and said rudely: "Get lost..."
He had probably guessed why Tang Shui asked him to meet at Princess Anyang's Mansion, and also knew why she didn't tell him herself. When she agreed to the matter, she had already thought about it, but she didn't expect it.
She actually arranged it so quickly.
No matter how long it takes, he still has to meet the Miss Tang family. Even if he can't think of what kind of mentality he should face it with, he still has to meet the person who should be met.
Xiao Jue shook his head and said: "To be honest, even if you are her cousin, she is too kind to you. She is not like the witch of the capital."
Tang Ning looked at Xiao Jue and asked uncertainly, "Witch?"
The word "witch" can be used on Su Mei and Tang Yaoyao, but it is unimaginable when used on the considerate and gentle Tang Shui.
Xiao Jue looked at him in surprise: "You don't know?"
Tangning shook her head and said, "She is quite gentle. Why is she the Capital Witch?"
"Gentle?" Xiao Jue said as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world: "Since childhood, there is no famous playboy in the capital who has not been bullied by her. The word gentle will never belong to her in her life...
"
Tang Ning didn't believe the rumors, she only believed her own eyes. Although Tang Shui was sometimes violent, she was always gentle to him and would not even speak loudly. Tang Ning would not associate the word witch with her.
together.
…
In the Tang family, Tang Yaoyao stood in the yard, touched Zhong Yi with her shoulder, looked at the pavilion, and asked, "What's wrong with him?"
Zhong Yi looked at Tang Ning, who had been sitting in the pavilion for an hour, and said, "Don't disturb your husband, let him be alone for a while."
"Mysterious..." Tang Yaoyao whispered, but still did not walk over.
Tangning's eyes were unfocused and she was looking somewhere in a daze when a figure slowly walked into the pavilion. Xiaoxiao looked at him and said, "Brother, are you thinking about your family?"
Hearing Xiaoxiao speak, Tangning felt much better and said with a smile, "You, sister Xiaoyi, and sister Xiaoru are all my family."
A smile appeared on Xiaoxiao's face and she said, "There are also sisters Yaoyao and Qing'er."
This was the first time Tang Ning saw her smile. He patted her head gently and said, "Brother is going out for a while. Just stay at home and he will bring you something delicious when he comes back."
Xiaoxiao nodded obediently.
…
Princess Anyang is the daughter of Prince Fu, who is the younger brother of the current emperor. He is enfeoffed and only returns to the capital during royal ceremonies every year.
Princess Anyang was favored by the Queen Mother and had stayed in the capital since she was a child. Tangning inquired about Princess Anyang's mansion, carefully walked around to the back door, and knocked lightly.
Squeak.
The small door was opened the next moment. Tang Shui stood behind the door, looked at him, and whispered: "Come in."
Tangning stood at the door, thought for a while, and then stepped in.
Next to Tang Shui stood a woman dressed in luxurious clothes. Tang Ning cupped her fist slightly and said, "I have met the princess."
"No need to be polite." Princess Anyang looked at him and smiled: "You can come with me."
Tang Ning and Tang Shui followed Princess Anyang and did not take the main road paved with blue bricks. Instead, they walked around a deep garden and walked to the front of a courtyard after a long time.
Princess Anyang looked at him and said, "It's inside. You can go in by yourself."
The courtyard door is ajar,
Tangning took a step forward, paused, and then took it back.
Tang Shui's expression changed slightly and he looked at him nervously.
Tangning looked up, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.
Tang Shui didn't walk in, but kept looking at the courtyard.
Princess Anyang looked at her, sighed, and said, "Your Tang family owes him too much. What if he doesn't want to recognize you?"
Tang Shui lowered his head and remained speechless.
Tangning walked into the courtyard and looked around. Only one room in front had a light on.
He stood in the courtyard for a while before walking over. When he reached the door, he paused for a moment. After an unknown amount of time, he finally raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Come in..., come in."
A woman's voice came from inside the house, and he could tell that the voice was trembling.
He took a deep breath again, pushed the door open, and when he raised his head, he saw a figure standing in front of the table.
The figure turned its back to him and slowly turned around.
Qingli woman looked at him, her voice trembling slightly: "Ning'er..."
Tang Ning raised her head and saw a haunting face that had only appeared in dreams for more than ten years.
His mind went blank, as if he had been struck by thunder.
Tang Ning's body was shaking violently, and her eyes were already wet. She looked at the figure in front of her dreamily and said in a trembling voice, "Mom!"
