The curiosity in the eyes of the young woman surnamed Lu was very straightforward. She did not hide her invasive gaze at all. The arrogant aura around her body was even stronger than that of the Grand Princess Li Helan. From her current expression, it could be seen that this woman was a proud daughter of heaven who was born with a golden spoon in her mouth. It was likely that she had never experienced any disappointment in her life.
While she was thinking, Qin Yining had already gotten off the carriage and bowed to the two.
As the eldest princess, Li Helan naturally received Qin Yining's bow.
But the young woman did not react at all. She did not return the bow and only raised her chin, casually looking at Qin Yining.
"I have long heard that the young miss of the Family Qin family is very beautiful. Seeing you today, even I can't compare to you. It really is …" Her red lips smacked, unable to find the right words to describe her. She did not feel embarrassed and smiled faintly. Then as if she was doing a favor, she said, "You can call me Madam Lu."
She really was a woman of high status in her maternal family. Otherwise, when a married woman was called a madam, she would have to use her husband's surname.
Qin Yining lowered her eyes and said, "Madam Lu."
"Un." Madam Lu seemed to be very satisfied with Qin Yining's obedience. She glanced at her simple dress again and gave a disdainful smile.
"It's no wonder that the eldest princess of Anyang praised you like a fairy in front of me. She is used to exaggerating. She even praised me as a celestial being. I thought I would meet a village girl today.
"I never expected that there would really be someone like you in this world. Even the simple clothes and hairpin could not hide your beauty. I can see that when you were in Great Yan, when your father was in a high position, you must have been a magnificent woman. Too bad, I don't have the chance to see that face of yours."
Qin Yining looked at Madam Lu in surprise.
She was sure that this was the first time she had met her, but why was her words full of sarcasm? Her last sentence even implied that she was cursing the Family Qin family to never be able to make a comeback.
This kind of way of speaking was really unpleasant to the extreme.
Perhaps Madam Lu was familiar with the eldest princess of Anyang, so she was speaking up for the eldest princess.
However, this was still an important place in the palace. Qin Yining's status couldn't be compared to the two people in front of him, so he didn't dare to stay here for long. Since the conversation wasn't pleasant, Qin Yining wasn't someone who would stand there and let others bully him.
Therefore, Qin Yining said goodbye politely and courteously.
Li Helan smiled and said, "Alright, then we can meet again next time."
"Thank you very much, Princess Royal." Qin Yining bowed and then got back into the oil wall carriage.
Li Helan and Mrs. Lu dodged to the side.
It wasn't until the carriage was far away that Madam Lu said, "The eldest princess also has times when she makes mistakes. From what I can see, this Family Qin Girl is an extremely well-behaved girl. She's so soft that it's hard to even pinch her. "
Li Helan raised her eyebrows and smiled warmly, "Perhaps I really misjudged you. However, ben gong is thinking that to be able to make such a heroic man like Brother Xiao fall head over heels for her, she naturally has some outstanding aspects. "
"Oh?" Madam Lu seemed to be interested and her eyes flashed with interest, "I've heard rumors that Prince Zhongshun forcefully took the Family Qin Girl into the palace. It seems like there really is such a thing?"
"Yes, there is such a thing. I went to the palace a few days ago and even saw her. "
"Then what is Wang Ye's attitude towards her?" Madam Lu's tone was a bit anxious.
Li Helan smiled and said, "It's not like you don't know Brother Xiao's personality. However, I can see that Brother Xiao is special to her."
"Presumably, Prince Zhongshun is a man who clearly distinguishes between love and hate. He must be thinking of a way to avenge his father's death."
Madam Lu's cheeks flushed red and her red lips opened slightly, "To tell you the truth, my late husband and Prince Zhongshun can be considered old friends. I have also met him a few times. He is a truly unyielding hero and would not necessarily be infatuated with a little girl."
Li Helan smiled and said, "If Madam says so, then so be it. However, ben gong and Brother Xiao can be considered to have grown up together and are most familiar with each other. Since we were young, ben gong has never seen Brother Xiao so attentive to any girl."
Madam Lu was displeased by the intimate way Li Helan addressed Pang Xiao and lost her patience.
"In any case, the Eldest Princess has already been betrothed to someone else. In any case, the Eldest Princess has called me Jiejie for so long, so I will just say a few words. You are already engaged to Marquis Dingbei and will be the Ji Family's wife in the future. However, when you mention Prince Zhongshun, you keep saying Brother Xiao this and Brother Xiao that. What do you think Marquis Dingbei will think? Or could it be that the Eldest Princess is actually unwilling to give up on Prince Zhongshun? "
The last sentence was frivolous and Madam Lu even used her bright red nail to lightly tap Li Helan's bright red cheeks.
Li Helan thought of this marriage that she was dissatisfied with and thought of the person she was longing for. Her mood became even more unhappy and she couldn't help but retort sarcastically.
"There is no need to trouble Jiejie Lu to worry about ben gong's matters. I heard that there are two new male companions in the fu and they are twins. Although their appearances are equally handsome, their tempers are not good and they are unwilling to properly serve Jiejie Lu. Jiejie Lu should be more concerned about the matters in your own room. "
When the matter of privately raising male companions was mentioned, Madam Lu did not feel the slightest bit ashamed. Instead, she nodded and said, "This man ah, no matter what he looks like, isn't it all the same when he enters the room? It only depends on whether his body is strong or not. The new twin brothers are young and too inexperienced. They are too embarrassed to serve others, so it is very boring. They need to be trained before they can be used. "
No matter how bold and unrestrained Li Helan was, she was still an unmarried girl. Hearing Madam Lu's words, she couldn't help blushing. Her heart was both shy and complicated.
However, Li Helan never forgot her goal.
"Hearing Jiejie Lu say it like this, it is also the case. How many people in this world can be as heroic and strong as Xiao gege? Such a well-rounded person, if he were to marry in the future, I really don't know what kind of woman he would be matched with. "Li Helan's words were filled with yearning.
Madam Lu thought of Pang Xiao's appearance and felt her heart itch for a moment. It was a pity that she had once invited Pang Xiao to have sex with her, but that person was dismissive of her and made her lose face. From then on, she no longer wanted to find Pang Xiao.
She thought about how Pang Xiao had forcefully taken the girl from the Qin Clan back to the residence. Even if Pang Xiao had humiliated her for the sake of revenge, the rice must have been cooked long ago. Such a good thing had actually happened to Qin Wanru. She had sincerely invited him, but he had rejected her …
Madam Lu snorted and left unhappily without even saying goodbye to Li Helan.
Li Helan looked at Madam Lu's back and sneered. She secretly cursed her for being a slut before turning back to the Palace of Peace and Tranquility.
On the other hand, Qin Yining left the palace in a carriage and did not immediately return to the guest house. Instead, he sat in the carriage with Bing Tang and waited in a quiet alley not far from the palace. Ji Yun was sent to see if Pang Xiao had come out.
After waiting for a full two hours, Pang Xiao finally left the palace and was led to the carriage by Ji Yun.
