Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 176
Birthday banquets have always been divided into two groups, the female relatives are in the inner hall, and the fathers and sons are in the outer hall, separated by an inner door.The servants of Zheng's mansion were also neat, and the ladies and ladies prepared all the dishes not long after they were seated.

Zheng Jingning met Zheng Xiuning inadvertently, thinking that she would live in peace today, but seeing the resentment and resentment in her eyes, he frowned, wondering where he offended her again; shook his head, and ordered someone to call him back Xiao Yuan and Lan Yao greeted the people around them with a smile.

When Zheng Xiuning sneaked back, his heart was full of unwillingness and anger, but he had no choice but to pretend to be docile and obedient, thanks to Mother Fang who came over to whisper a few words just now, looked at Zheng Jingning, and sneered again and again.

Zheng Jingning, you actually made such a big negligence this time, I want to see how you make things right.

At this time, a shrill voice sounded outside the gate: "Princess Gong is here~" Zheng Jingning hurriedly got up and went out when he heard it; the world knows that Prince Gong's mansion is a symbol of the royal family, could it be that there is something in the palace that Princess Gong is here this time? mean.

"My lord is late, please don't be offended by the prime minister." Princess Gong got out of the car with the help of her maid, and greeted Prime Minister Zheng with a smile, but her eyes glanced at Zheng Jingning who was behind Zheng Anyan. The Zheng family's concubine daughter who is making a lot of noise is an interesting little guy.

"By the way," Princess Gong clapped her hands, and the maid behind her presented a carved wooden box, "I came here in a hurry this time, so I didn't prepare anything, and the prime minister would welcome a small gift."

"Thank you, my lord, my concubine." Zheng Anyan saluted, then turned around and motioned for Zheng Jingning to take it and put it away. Zheng Jingning was about to step forward, but an abrupt voice sounded from behind him, "I've been hearing my sister say that I have to wait for an adult to present my father's birthday gift until now." Now I know that sister Yuan'er is waiting for the concubine; it's just that the concubine is here, so don't hide the birthday gift, she is curious about us."

Zheng Jingning's heart was about to be shocked, and he knocked on the wooden box in his hand without holding it securely, breaking the jade pendant inside, causing everyone to cry out in surprise, and Zheng Anyan's face was also a little uneasy.

A trace of displeasure flashed across Princess Gong's face, but she still stepped forward with a smile and took Zheng Jingning's hand, saying cordially, "I heard that the girls of the Zheng family have always been extraordinary, and today I saw that she was indeed so; it's just that the girls are so surprised." Hurry up and stop hiding things, I am also curious about it."

Zheng Jingning secretly thought that something was wrong, he didn't expect Zheng Xiuning to trip her up here, and being grabbed by Princess Gong like this, his palms broke out in cold sweat, and he panicked.

Zheng Jingning raised his head and looked at Princess Gong quietly, but he didn't feel any displeasure; it's just that he really wasn't prepared here, if he was empty-handed, he would be ridiculed and his father's and his own reputation would be delayed.

This Zheng Xiuning, although doing so would make himself look ugly, but it would be detrimental to the Zheng family, and it really is something that cannot be put on the table.

It's just that this birthday banquet, Princess Gong is a variable; by the way, Princess Gong...

Zheng Jingning stabilized his mind, offered blessings to Princess Gong and Zheng An respectively, and said in a slow voice: "Princess, father, the birthday gift prepared by the little girl this time was to borrow flowers to present Buddha, but I missed it, so I can only exchange it for peace every year. "

"Oh? Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, what's the specific explanation?" Princess Gong raised her eyebrows and looked at Zheng Jingning with great interest.

"Returning to the princess, the little girl knows that she is not talented, so she dare not use her own hands to show her shame; she dared to borrow the glory of the princess as a birthday gift to her father, but because she was too amazing, she forgot the matter and broke the princess' love Yupei, I can only pretend that Sui Sui is safe, I know that I am wrong, and I ask the concubine to blame me."

Princess Gong used to be the most beautiful woman in the capital when she was young, even though she was a young lady, she still had a charm, Zheng Jingning's remarks happened to reach her heart, so she took Jingning's hand and said with a smile. "Okay, I wasted everyone's time, please take a seat."

Zheng Jingning let out a long sigh of relief, not daring to take out his palm, unexpectedly Prince Gong and Princess Gong glanced at her, and went in without hesitation.

"Miss, it was so dangerous just now, thanks to your wit, but how did you know that Princess Gong is coming?" On the way back, Wen Xing supported Zheng Jingning, whispering in her ear.

"Don't let others listen to this. I don't know. No matter what, we are indeed negligent this time. We will stay with Dad later." Zheng Jingning whispered a few words, and responded to Yang Qin with a smile , Lan Yao and the others.

Damn it, she dodged it again, Zheng Xiuning clenched his fists, almost biting his silver teeth, followed behind Zheng Jingning, suddenly noticed Xiao Lin's warning eyes on the side, and saw Xiao Lin watching behind him. His Pingting smiled and stopped in her tracks.

How could she have forgotten that they were all at the age of marriage.

Xiao Lin noticed Zheng Xiuning's gaze, and frowned. She should be glad that his girl is fine. If something happened, he wanted her to look good; but what did Zheng Xiuning's meaningful smile mean at the end? He didn't understand, he only knew that he had to protect his girl, so what if he got rid of Zheng Xiuning next time?Just as he was thinking, a murderous look rose between his brows.

Pingting saw that Xiao Lin was wondering what he was thinking, but Zheng Xiuning called her to stop her; because Xiao Lin didn't like Zheng Xiuning, she wanted to leave, but Zheng Xiuning held her back. Mystery whispered, "Pingting, do you like Young Master Xiao?"

Pingting's face turned red suddenly, and she stomped her feet to run away, but heard a sentence, "You know, Mr. Xiao and his sister are already engaged, and you are married, and you are not a real wife." Pingting was about to ask to clarify, but found Zheng Xiu Ning Yang walked away, annoyed in his heart, hurriedly followed.

"A few days ago, the second lady of Li Shangshu's family was not rescued by a bandit. The reputation of her daughter's family was ruined. I thought no one would want it. Who knew that General Zhang married the second lady Li against all odds. I heard that Ms. Li is pregnant, and the relationship between the two is very good."

"That's right. Isn't it true that a hero deserves a beauty since ancient times? Then Miss Li's appearance can be regarded as beautiful. But when it comes to beauty, among the unmarried ladies here, Miss Zheng should be the best, right? Does Missy have a favorite candidate?"

"Madam has won the award, but my daughter knows she doesn't dare to be the one." Zheng Jingning felt his scalp tighten, and wanted to avoid the topic, but was provoked by Princess Gong over there, "Everyone knows that the worthless son of our palace will not be able to do it this year." It's time to get married, this princess is thinking about finding a smarter girl to tie him down, so that he can settle down; this princess sees, a girl like Miss Zheng is not bad."

"Thank you, Princess, for your love. Jingning can't afford it, Jingning..." Zheng Jingning was about to resign but was interrupted by Princess Gong, looking at Zheng Xiuning's resentful eyes, he secretly thought something was wrong.

"Miss Zheng, you don't think much of Prince Gong's son?" Prince Gong narrowed her eyes, slightly displeased.

"My little girl dare not, but, it's just that my little girl has already made a marriage contract with General Xiao Lin, please forgive me."

Oh, it really is Xiao Lin!Pingting bit her lower lip tightly, she didn't care about the exclamation of others about this matter, she just felt the anger in her heart, why Xiao Lin!
