Chapter 418: before dinner
Chapter 418 Before the banquet
After Gu Changan left, Ruan Youqing first went out of the city to Quanling Villa.
It turned out that Mrs. Ningguo couldn't stay in Gu's mansion at all. After staying with Ruan Youqing for a few days, she began to miss her villa again. Therefore, she moved back to Quanling after living in Gu's mansion for less than a month. I went to the villa for a "short stay".
Just because she was worried about Ruan Youqing's health, when Mrs. Ning Guogong left, she asked Ruan Youqing several times if she wanted to go with her.
Although Ruan Youqing likes the life in the villa, she finally managed to get closer to her family. She still wants to spend more time with the Ruan family.
Regarding Ruan Youqing's polite refusal, Mrs. Ning Guogong did not let her accompany her.
And Ruan Youqing went to Quanling Villa this time to tell Mrs. Ning Guogong about the palace banquet and ask her if she wanted to go with her.
In the past, this kind of thing was done by Gu Changan, but now that there is an extra hostess in the Gu mansion, she should worry about this kind of thing.
After arriving at Quanling Villa, everyone in the villa embraced Ruan Youqing like stars holding the moon, and arrived in front of Mrs. Ningguo.
Regarding Ruan Youqing's arrival, Mrs. Ning Guogong was also very happy and pulled him to sit next to her.
"Girls are more sensible than stinky men. Ever since Chang An got married to you, he has become more and more tired of his grandmother." Mrs. Ning Guo curled her lips and complained to Ruan Youqing.
Ruan Youqing listened, and subconsciously replied: "Then Youqing will say a few words about him when he goes back."
It's just that after Ruan Youqing finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong.
But before she could explain, Mrs. Ning Guogong narrowed her eyes and laughed: "Okay! You can talk to him later! This kid Chang An is good in everything, but he has his own ideas. He listens to what I say. He listened, but it went in one ear and out the other. But now that he has a wife, someone can control him. Let me tell you..."
Mrs. Ning Guogong suddenly approached Ruan Youqing, then lowered her voice and lay next to her ear before continuing: "If he doesn't listen to you, you don't sleep with him. Or... the attitude towards him is indifferent, men can't stand this. I think back then, this is how I ate your grandfather to death."
Mrs. Ning Guogong is here to impart experience, but Ruan Youqing is shocked and speechless.
Why is the old lady talking to her more and more freely...
But watching her still talking about how to get along with men with great interest, Ruan Youqing had no choice but to slowly fade away the initial embarrassment.
Listening, she began to feel that...these things...are not too shameful...
Fortunately, the two of them didn't stay on this topic for too long. After asking Mrs. Ning Guo whether she would like to go to the palace banquet together at night, Mrs. Ning Guo thought for a while and went back to the Gu Mansion together with Ruan Youqing.
Naturally, this palace banquet must be carefully prepared.
When Shen Shi was around, Ruan Youqing entered the palace with Mrs. Ning Guogong.
Because of the advance notice, the Empress Dowager sent her confidant maid to wait at the gate of the palace.
When they arrived at the Longevity Palace, the Empress Dowager had prepared a table of snacks and looked forward to it.
"Oh, Xiaoyouqing is finally here!" The queen mother smiled like a blooming flower.
Ruan Youqing also walked up to salute with a smile on her face.
In the end, the queen mother supported her hand and said, "Didn't the emperor specially allow you to not salute!"
Seeing this, Ruan Youqing still put his hand on one side with a smile on his face, and made a simple salute: "But the younger generation can't help but want to salute when seeing the respected elder."
"Your little mouth is really sweet. If Chang An could speak half as well as you, he wouldn't be scared away by so many people in the court."
After Mrs. Ning Guogong finished speaking, the Queen Mother covered her lips and smiled: "Those people are afraid of Chang An, which is also Chang An's unique ability."
After finishing speaking, the Empress Dowager turned her head and pulled Ruan Youqing to sit beside her, and then waved to Mrs. Ning Guogong behind her to signal her to sit down as she pleases.
"Youqing, Aijia specially asked the imperial chef to make various dim sum. You can see which ones suit your appetite. I will bring you some of the ones you like when you leave the palace." The queen mother enthusiastically placed the dim sum in front of Ruan Youqing, saying hello Let her try it.
Feeling the empress dowager's love, Ruan Youqing hurriedly said: "Youqing, thank the empress dowager for your love, but there are so many... If you finish eating... you may be rude at the palace banquet later..."
The wet eyes looked at the Empress Dowager somewhat at a loss, the Empress Dowager's heart softened instantly, and she said in a more doting tone: "It's okay, if you can't eat it, don't eat it, just eat a piece or two, and Aijia will give you everything later." Bring some."
「Bring something?」
Li Ange's crisp voice moved from far to near. When Ruan Youqing turned his head to look, the other party was pulling Xiao Deyin into the room together.
"Ah, here are two more annoying little girls." The Queen Mother smiled even more heartily.
Li Ange saluted with a smile, and immediately rushed to Ruan Youqing and the Queen Mother.
After saluting with the Empress Dowager Mrs. Ning Guo, Xiao Deyin stood aside in a gentle and courteous manner.
"You can take it easy, now Youqing is pregnant, you girl is reckless, don't hurt Youqing."
The queen mother reprimanded lightly, but there was no ferocity in her eyes.
Li Ange, who was reprimanded for being reckless, first reached out to touch Ruan Youqing's belly apologetically, then stuck out the tip of his tongue slightly and said, "Grandmother, you are very partial right now! It's just... none of us can hurt you." Young and clear."
Ruan Youqing listened, although her heart was sour, she could only smile embarrassingly.
The three of them had a conversation with the two old men, and when the time for the palace banquet was approaching, they left for Changcui Palace.
On the way, the Empress Dowager and Mrs. Ning Guogong suddenly talked about who the Seventh Princess of Yuhuan Kingdom was going to marry this time.
There is no doubt that Nangong Liuyun, the seventh princess of Yuhuan Kingdom, will never marry Li Qian.
Although Li Qian has not been officially canonized as the crown prince, most people know that there is no other candidate for the crown prince.
Thus, the possibility of getting married with Nangong Liuyun fell on the third prince Li Si and the fourth prince Li Han.
It’s just these two people, one is obsessed with poetry and songs all day long, and the other is obsessed with how to improve his martial arts and how to drive away the enemy all day long...
Looking at it this way...it is really difficult to choose.
Ruan Youqing and the others followed behind the Queen Mother and Mrs. Ning Guogong, and couldn't help but began to speculate in a low voice.
The emperor will be more interested in who Nangong Liuyun will get married with.
While talking, Li Ange proposed a bet with great interest.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Deyin was also taken with a look of high spirits.
"I think that father should betroth Nangong Liuyun to brother three! After all, brother four is too clueless, he only knows how to fight and kill all day long, how can he love beautiful women!"
Xiao Deyin shook his head and denied:
"I don't think so. Although the fourth prince likes martial arts, but An Ge, don't forget that the seventh princess... at least knows some martial arts."
