Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 273
Three days later, it will be Emperor Wenxuan's Longevity Festival, and there will be a dinner party.

Shui Jingnian came to pick up Ning Qing around Shenshi.Ning Qing had already changed into a gorgeous palace attire, and went out talking and laughing with Shui Jingnian.

After entering the palace, I saw Gu Cai bowed forward with a smile: "My lord, my princess, I have an invitation."

Shui Jingnian and Ning Qing went to Danyi Palace, Concubine Yao was leaning on the couch, when she saw Ning Qing approached to greet her, she immediately smiled and pulled her: "Hey, we are all our own people, why separate lives."

Shui Jingnian rolled his eyes and sat drinking tea.

Concubine Yao originally thought that if Ning Qing lost her ice-making skills, she would not be able to do business. Even if she found a big backer, it would be just an increase of her identity and a false name. She thought that she would exchange her ice-making skills for a noble Status, in the future only rely on salary and rewards from the emperor to survive the day.

Unexpectedly, they lost their ice-making skills, so they made an ice-cream ice dessert and made a lot of money in the summer.Later, the Su family made a move and made similar pastries, splitting half of the market.But they opened clothing stores and restaurants again.

She can come up with new tricks on almost everything, almost doing the same thing.

Only then did Concubine Yao realize that this Ning Qing is not just a lucky girl who knows how to make ice, she is a real businessman with brains and talent!Her talent even surpassed Su Feng's!

After all, Su Feng has a solid background, and he works hard on the achievements of his predecessors, with a high starting point.And Ning Qing is truly self-made!is truly brilliant.

Concubine Yao Gui is not a stubborn person, she puts the overall situation first.And she also had to admire Ning Qing, a girl in her teens who had no background, so she found her own background and gained a foothold on her own.

With such a talent, it's no wonder that he looks down on Yao Gaoyuan, a bastard.

There is only one thing she still resents, that is, Ning Qing doesn't want to be Shui Jingnian's side concubine!

A princess of the second rank, who can make money so much, marrying her is like marrying a little gold mountain, and she has to be loved by the emperor. Although the background is a bit weak to be a concubine, it is still enough.

But Concubine Yao's goal is not just to find a concubine for her son, she wants to achieve great things!So this concubine must have power and power!Not just rich!So Ning Qing can only be Shui Jingnian's side concubine!

Thinking of this, Concubine Yao was a little depressed, and she didn't smile so much: "I heard that you got the Ice Yulan this time." Concubine Yao said with a concerned expression.

"I got it, and handed it over to old doctor Zhong to make the medicine." Ning Qing said.

Concubine Yao's mood became even more depressed.Huekong is already like this now, if she restores her appearance, it will be even more unstoppable.Just smiled: "That's good. The banquet is about to start, you go out quickly."

Ning Qing nodded and left Danyi Palace with Shui Jingnian.

The Tianshui imperial family officially designated Yan's palace as the Yongshou Palace.

As soon as Ning Qing entered the palace, Princess Jiarou came to pull her with a smile: "You are here, but I am suffocated to death, and everyone's talking is boring."

Yi Qianqian married a sixth-rank Hanlin, so she can no longer participate in palace banquets.Accompanying Princess Jiarou is a girl in her teens, the sister-in-law of Princess Jiarou.Seeing Ning Qing, he saluted and left.

Ning Qing looked at the direction they left and smiled: "Aren't you accompanied by my sister-in-law?"

"Hehe, she, she is so far away, she just stays together and can't talk." Princess Jiarou sticks out her tongue.

Ning Qing laughed: "It doesn't matter if they are bored, as long as there is brother-in-law in pain!"

Princess Jiarou blushed and glanced at a group of nobles not far away.Ning Qing looked over and saw a man in blue clothes, in his early 20s, gentle and polite, quite handsome, it was Wu Pengfei, the husband of Princess Jiarou.Seeing Princess Jiarou looking at her, she returned a gentle smile.

Seeing that Wu Pengfei was so kind to Princess Jiarou, Ning Qing was relieved. She was so afraid that Wu Pengfei would treat her poorly because Princess Jiarou was not pregnant.

Ning Qing couldn't help but search among several piles of noble ladies, and finally found a middle-aged woman with a slightly long face, who was the mother-in-law of Princess Jiarou, Mrs. He.Seeing that Mrs. He was having a good time talking with a few noble ladies, she was relieved that she didn't put on a straight face because of Princess Jiarou's affairs.

This Mrs. Huang is not bad either, she looks bold, and she didn't put on a straight face all day because she hasn't hugged her grandson yet, to show Princess Jiarou's face.

"My eldest aunt just gave birth to a grandson for my mother-in-law more than a month ago. She is staying with us for a while, and my mother-in-law is very happy." Princess Jiarou said with her eyebrows raised in sorrow.

"She usually doesn't give you a look, does she?" Ning Qing said.

"Not really." Princess Jiarou sighed slightly: "It's my good luck. If I met such a mother-in-law and husband, if I married someone else, I wouldn't have to be a human anymore. At least the concubine room would have to be set up by Pengfei. many."

"Your males under 35 are not allowed to have concubines."

"Yes." Princess Jiarou raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly: "I agreed to the marriage just because of their rare family style. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many high-ranking families who are alone. Choose their home!"

"Rou'er." A graceful, elegant, and beautiful woman in her 40s came over. It was Princess Yongshun.

"I've seen the eldest princess." Ning Qing saluted immediately.

"Good boy, you don't need to be too polite." The eldest princess smiled kindly, and went to hold her in person.

"Mother." Princess Jiarou snuggled up to Princess Yongshun as soon as she saw her.

"You're married, you're still like a child, you're not afraid of Qing'er's jokes." Eldest Princess Yongshun rubbed her head with a smile.

"Of course I want to be like a child! Since I got married, you only love the third sister." Princess Jiarou said and glanced at her: "Why don't you see the third sister?"

"She, there is also a big gift for your uncle emperor." The eldest princess said. "This is also a gift for your mother to your uncle."

Ning Qing laughed when she heard it: "It seems that there is a program!"

"Yes." The Eldest Princess Yongshun smiled, and looked out: "It's coming, hurry up and take a seat! Good boy, you don't have to sit with me at all."

Princess Yongshun pulled Ning Qing as she spoke, and princess Jiarou pouted behind her: "Mother, mother! Don't hurt me anymore!"

"Good boy, you've grown up!" Princess Yongshun smiled helplessly and touched Princess Jiarou's head. She didn't dare to show embarrassment, but she herself felt pressured and wronged, and she couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

"Princess." Seeing that everyone else was ready to sit down, Princess He came over with a smile because Princess Dujiarou was tired of Princess Yongshun.

"Mother." Princess Jiarou blushed and hurriedly blessed herself.

"You child." He held Princess Jiarou's little hand, and smiled again: "Since she wants to get tired of the princess, let's sit with the princess."

Princess Jiarou was about to wave her hand, but He said softly: "You are a pain, I know you are a sense of propriety, don't bother with me about these hypocrisy."

After saying blessings, he smiled and left.

Princess Yongshun and Ning Qing couldn't help sighing, where can I find such a good mother-in-law!
"Guests, please sit this way!" At this moment, several eunuchs came over and led the way with a smile.

"The Emperor is here!"

"The empress is here! The imperial concubine is here!"

At this time, a series of alarms sounded outside.Everyone immediately knelt down: "See the emperor! May the emperor have a long life, long live, long live, long live!"

"Hehe, get up!" Emperor Wenxuan sat on the dragon chair and chuckled gently. "Sit down!"

"Princess Baili Haitang of Tianyan Kingdom seeks an audience!" The eunuch's voice sounded again: "Prince of Tianfeng Kingdom, Nanzhao Kingdom..."

The eunuch read a large number of foreign envoys, including more than ten countries, two big countries, and the rest are small countries.All are the princes and princesses of all countries!

Ning Qing raised her head, and saw Baili Begonia wearing a water-red narrow-sleeved dress, embroidered with large and blooming begonia flowers on the skirt, with strong eyebrows and a charming meaning, walking in like a ball of fire.

Baili Haitang first glanced at Shui Jingnian, then at Ning Qing, showing a smile.Ning Qing also looked at her and smiled, as a greeting.

"See Tianshui Emperor, my emperor wishes Tianshui Emperor to live longer than the sky! Long live, long live, long live!" foreign princes and princesses said.

"Hehe, if you want to, let's get up!" Emperor Wenxuan laughed when he saw the arrival of Youguo.

"Emperor Tianshui, this time we, Tianyan, gave Emperor Tianshui a blue sea birthday star, I hope you accept it." Baili Haitang said and glanced at the servants beside him.

The servants immediately brought out a box and called, everyone felt a chill rushing towards their faces, a crystal clear jade carving.This is a blue sea ice jade that is rare to see in a hundred years. It is so cold that it is so cold wherever it is placed. It is like a mobile air conditioner!

Everyone gasped when they saw this, no one expected that Tianyan Congress would be so generous!
Tianyan and Tianshui have always been friends and are friends, but most of the time, Tianshui is weaker than Tianyan, depending on Tianyan's attitude.The gifts in previous years were also ordinary, but this year's gifts are so expensive!

After everyone was amazed, those officials and courtiers couldn't help but secretly be vigilant, offering courteousness for nothing, adultery or robbery, is there anything Tianyan wants to force Tianshui to do this day?
The expression on Emperor Wenxuan's face froze, but he still smiled and said, "What a gift, I thank Emperor Tianyan!"

Baili Haitang smiled: "Actually, this princess has something to ask for."

Emperor Wenxuan muttered, if there is a request, he has to wait for the birthday banquet to go to the study to discuss slowly!But it's not easy to slap Tianyan's face, so he can only say: "What's the princess, please tell me."

"With the permission of my father, the princess, apart from celebrating her birthday, she also brought a dowry of 880 yuan to Beijing. She is going to propose marriage!" Baili Haitang said.

"Proposal?" Everyone was discussing.How could they have never imagined that sending such an expensive gift was only for marriage proposal?

The eyes of Shui Jingdong and other princes are bright, if they marry this Princess Tianyan, with Tianyan's help, their ascension to the throne is just around the corner!

"I don't know which prince the princess wants to marry? Or a courtier." Emperor Wenxuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the proposal, and married a prince... No, it's better to marry a princess than to exchange something for it!
"This princess wants to marry the Eighth Prince Yan Wang Shui Jingnian!" Baili Haitang said loudly.

The whole hall fell silent for a while, Shui Jingdong and the others turned pale, Concubine Yao was overjoyed, the eldest princess of Tianyan Kingdom actually wanted to marry her son?This is simply pie from the sky!

"Damn it!" Shui Jingnian finally came to his senses. He was so angry that he pointed at the Baili Haitang, and his voice was so angry that he lost his voice. Give me to destroy me! So ruthless!"

Ning Qing also opened her mouth in shock, looking at Baili Haitang and Shui Jingnian, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Nian'er, don't be rude!" Concubine Yao tried her best to suppress the joy in her heart, and glared at Shui Jingnian angrily. "Your Majesty, look, Nian'er and the princess are so well suited! Since the princess proposes with such sincerity..."

Emperor Wenxuan also felt that this marriage was good, and was about to say yes, when Shui Jingnian had already run out and knelt in front of Emperor Wenxuan: "Father, I have a little bit of trouble with her! She kicked me into the water more than two years ago! We met again in Cloudless City more than a month ago, and she didn't like me!"

"I think you are very pleasing to the eye!" Baili Haitang laughed: "Otherwise, why would I want to marry you?"

Shui Jingnian was about to die of anger: "Are you forcing a marriage? How did I offend you? No, I seem to have known you not long ago!"

"Anyway... I've taken a fancy to you." Baili Begonia raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Father!" Shui Jingnian only looked at Emperor Wenxuan pleadingly.

"Father, it's your birthday banquet now. This marriage is important and concerns the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Why don't we discuss it later." Shui Jingdong immediately stood up.

Emperor Wenxuan rubbed his aching temple, he really wanted to agree, but he knew that the son of Shui Jingnian was out of tune, and he was afraid that he would do something that would embarrass him in front of the envoys from all over the world, so he smiled and said: "Marriage Let's discuss later, princess, please rest assured."

That means, he agreed!

Baili Haitang was really satisfied: "Of course, thank God Tianshui!"
