Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 121

"Well, well done, go and make me a pot of tea." Yang Qin waved his hand lazily, signaling Mingyue to step down, still immersed in the joy of being alone with Yunheng just now.But after thinking about it, Yunheng only sent her back just because of Zheng Jingning's face, and he couldn't help but feel even more resentful towards Jingning, his face was a bit hideous, "Zheng Jingning, let's wait and see."

Here, Lan Yao and Jing Ning had just returned to the prime minister's mansion when the gatekeeper came to report that His Royal Highness King Ying had come to visit the prime minister with a gift.

Jing Ning frowned with some doubts: "King Ying? What is he doing here?"

The servant said respectfully, "His Royal Highness King Ying said that he heard that the Prime Minister has been ill recently, so he is here to visit him."

"Understood, you can go." Jing Ning waved the boy away, rubbing the center of his brows in distress.Why is Zhao Ying so difficult? Is it because she didn't express her disgust clearly enough?

Jing Ning was thinking of a way to get rid of His Highness King Ying, but Lan Yao became interested and teased with a half-smile: "Tsk tsk tsk, His Highness King Ying personally brought a gift to visit, Miss Jing Ning, you can you!"

Jing Ning's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Lan Yao, he pinched the flesh on Lan Yao's face with a smirk, and pulled at it, pretending to be fierce: "Yaoyao, what's in your little head for a day, I don't know. Nothing to do with him!"

"Oh, it hurts, it hurts..." Lan Yao wailed and escaped from Jing Ning's clutches, rubbed her swollen face, but she didn't have a long memory and then teased, "Yes, yes, our Miss Jing Ning Over there, Mr. Yun from the Duke’s Mansion is asking about his health, and here, the third prince, His Highness King Ying, came to the door with a gift in person, so it is natural that we should carefully consider it."

"Okay, you stinky girl! Watch!" The more Jing Ning heard, the more she felt that this girl was out of shape. She rolled up her sleeves and entered the mansion wrestling with Lan Yao, leaving Wen Xing and Ying Yu behind. They couldn't help laughing at each other.The fight between the two didn't stop until not far from Zheng Anyan's courtyard, but Wen Xing and Ying Yu were no longer by their side.

When Wen Xing entered the mansion, he took Yingyu to another place. Yingyu's body was no worse than her and the two young ladies. They simply went to the kitchen to see the food together with the young ladies.

Jing Ning's face was blushing, and she wanted to make a vicious look at Lan Yao, but she couldn't help laughing out loud, and straightened up her clothes.

Lan Yao stuck out her tongue at Jing Ning, and tidied up the creases on her skirt. Among other things, His Royal Highness King Ying may be inside, and the proper etiquette is still indispensable.

After a while, Jing Ning knocked lightly on the door three times, and Zheng Anyan's weak voice came from the room: "Come in."

Only then did Jing Ning bring Lan Yao into the house, sure enough, Zhao Ying was talking with Zheng Anyan in the house at this time, seeing Zheng Anyan's complexion looked good, presumably the conversation was very pleasant.But... What makes Jingning a little uncomfortable is that Zheng Xiuning is also there.If she wants to bring down Zheng Xiuning, the most important thing is not the Yang family, but making Zheng Anyan lose confidence in Zheng Xiuning.If Zheng Xiuning got a good impression in front of her father... then she would be in some trouble.

Without time to think about it, Jing Ning and Lan Yao called out to Zhao Yingfu, "His Royal Highness, Third Prince."

When Zhao Ying saw Jingning coming, the smile on his face increased a bit, and the gentle voice made Jingning's skin crawl: "Jingning is back, come quickly. It's too unfamiliar to be called the third prince... just one Salutation, this is not a formal occasion, Jing Ning just called me by my name."

Jing Ning sneered in her heart, she used to be so muddled and drunk in Zhao Ying's gentle hometown, but what happened?On the surface, he still respectfully said: "How dare Jing Ning be rude to the Third Prince. In the past, Jing Ning was ignorant and offended the Third Highness. Please forgive me."

Hearing Jingning's alienated words, Zhao Ying smiled embarrassingly, but Zheng Xiuning gave Zhao Ying a step down at the right time, and said with a sweet smile: "Although it's just a title, but what is sister?" Temperament, the Third Highness still doesn’t know? If it gets out, wouldn’t it mean that the First Lady of the Prime Minister’s Mansion wants to cling to the Third Prince regardless of the etiquette? My sister wants to come here because the most important thing is her reputation, so why should the Third Highness be serious with her sister.”

"Sister Xiuning said that I was being reckless." Zhao Ying's face softened a lot due to Zheng Xiuning's few words, and he no longer cared about the address, so he changed the subject, "By the way, Jingning, the person next to you is... "

Jing Ning watched the pair of dogs and men sing together with cold eyes, and when he heard Zhao Ying shift the topic to Lan Yao, he bowed his body and saluted, and replied respectfully: "Returning to the Third Highness, this is my good friend, the first lady of the Duke's Mansion, named Lan Yao."

Lan Yao also bowed her body and saluted again, but she didn't make a sound. Zhao Ying nodded and smiled at her. For Zhao Ying, Zheng Jingning's friend was also a way to conquer Zheng Jingning, so he took the lead in throwing an olive branch: "It turns out It's Miss Lan, I heard earlier that there is a young lady in Fuguo Duke's family who hates evil and has a hot temper, but when I saw her today, she really has a different temperament."

Lan Yao sneered in her heart, she was pushed out and bullied when she attended banquets with many young ladies in the past, how could this third prince come out and say "the temperament is different".However, because of Zhao Ying's identity, Lan Yao didn't get angry, and just smiled back: "Your Highness is joking, Lan Yao knows that she is different from other young ladies, and she is not a gentle and virtuous person, so she can't bear the praise of His Highness." "The meaning is clearly there, Third Highness, please don't put on an air to disgust me.

Jing Ning ignored Zhao Ying, walked to Zheng Anyan's bed and asked worriedly, "Father, how are you feeling today?"

Only then did Zhao Ying turn around and look at Zheng Anyan apologetically: "Look at my brain, Jing Ning was so happy when he came back that he forgot that the Prime Minister was still sick."

Zheng Anyan smiled with a pale face: "What's wrong with the third highness, the old minister's body was not good enough to welcome the third highness, but the old minister was negligent. Jingning, don't worry about me, I'm much better today, you and Xiu Ning accompanied the Third Highness to go around the mansion, please make sure that the Third Highness eats dinner before leaving. Miss Lan should also stay and eat."

"Okay, today I will have a good time at the Prime Minister's Mansion." Before Jing Ning could speak, Zhao Ying cheekily agreed.It provoked a burst of slander in Jing Ning's heart, do you want something to eat in the palace, and come to the prime minister's palace to "satiate your mouth"?
Zheng Xiuning stayed obediently at the side all the time, and now he heard what Zheng Anyan said: "Father..." Lan Yao interrupted him before he could speak.

"Uncle Zheng, Jing Ning and I went to the street today to buy some body-replenishing products. Jing Ning has been dragging me around all the shops in the city. I'm so tired! I want Jing Ning to be healthy." It shouldn't be as good as mine, she must be very tired, how about this, sister Xiu Ning came back early today to rest for so long, let sister Xiu Ning accompany the Third Highness for a walk!"

"This...Third Highness, look..." Zheng Anyan felt sorry for her eldest daughter when she heard the words, and it was not easy to refute the third prince's face, so she looked at Zhao Ying with some embarrassment.

Zhao Ying showed a magnanimous look, and smiled heartily: "It's okay, I feel sorry for Jingning when she's tired, let her go to rest."

Jing Ning avoided Zhao Ying's fiery gaze, thanked him, and led Lan Yao to leave.
