Qin Yining didn't rush her. She poured a cup of tea for Li Yanyan and then pushed the teacup to her hand.
Li Yanyan smiled slightly at Qin Yining, "Your Majesty has bestowed a junwang fu. It is some distance away from your fu. I just finished moving and wanted to come here for a stroll. After all, we are all Dayan people. Even if we had some unhappiness in the past, we are all family now. "
Li Yanyan's expression was warm and gentle. It was the same easy-going appearance that Qin Yining had when he first met her on Mount Changchun.
Qin Yining was surprised but didn't show it on her face. She only smiled and said, "So Your Majesty has already bestowed a fu. I've been in the fu all day and have become a frog in the well. I don't even know what's going on outside. I haven't congratulated Qiao Qian yet, but Wang Fei has come. I'm really ashamed. "
Li Yanyan saw that Qin Yining was so courteous and secretly sighed in relief. It seemed that she had thought too much. Qin Yining's "Your presence brings light to my humble dwelling" didn't have any sarcasm.
"Not at all. Now that we've come to Da Zhou, everyone's situation is very difficult. Even if Miss Qin didn't say it, I can understand."
Qin Yining only smiled warmly. Saying such heartfelt words all of a sudden was a little too much. Her relationship with Li Yanyan used to be a nodding acquaintance, but after Li Yanyan entered the palace, they became enemies. She knew that it was impossible for their relationship to become close all of a sudden.
Li Yanyan saw that Qin Yining didn't say much and took the initiative to find a topic to chat about. They mostly talked about the prosperity of the capital in Da Zhou or the new styles of fabric. They didn't talk about official matters.
Qin Yining saw that Li Yanyan was beating around the bush and was actually a bit impatient. However, she was usually very patient and could keep her cool. Therefore, since Li Yanyan didn't say anything, she didn't ask. She just accompanied her and said a few words when the time was right.
Li Yanyan's mouth was dry. She had already clearly revealed that she had something to discuss with him, but Qin Yining didn't even ask a single question.
Li Yanyan felt very helpless. In the past, when she was in Dayan, this trick was more than enough to deal with many older women. Why was it useless against a sixteen-year-old girl?
Seeing that it was getting late, she couldn't stay any longer and could only whisper, "I have something to discuss with you."
Have you finally run out of patience?
Qin Yining raised his eyebrows and waved his hand at Ji Yun, who was serving behind him.
Ji Yun and the others retreated.
Li Yanyan's maidservant also retreated to the corridor, guarding the door to prevent people from approaching.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Princess Consort, please speak your mind."
Li Yanyan said, "Actually, I'm here today for an important matter in your life."
"Oh?" Qin Yining raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "I didn't think that Wang Fei would like to be a matchmaker now?"
Was he mocking her?
Li Yanyan suppressed the discomfort in her heart and said with a dignified smile, "I have nothing to do, and I'm not here for an outsider."
Her gaze was gentle as she looked at Qin Yining and said, "A while ago, Wang Ye and I heard about the grievances you suffered at the Prince Zhongshun fu. Wang Ye really feels distressed for you, but right now, we have no choice. I know that Miss Qin is a person of noble character and will not be swayed by some gold, silver, and gold. So this time, I didn't bring those things to be a matchmaker. "
"Based on our relationship, I won't beat around the bush. Today, I'm here for the matter between you and Wang Ye. Right now, Wang Ye only has Gu Chang and I by his side. The other ce fei and concubines have either died of illness or disappeared. Wang Ye truly likes you. As long as you nod, Wang Ye can immediately ask Your Majesty for an edict to make you a ce fei. "
"Actually, I feel that it doesn't matter whether you are a wang fei or a ce fei. The most important thing is that Wang Ye truly loves you. I know that Little Sister Qin has suffered a lot outside. Now that you have such a good home and someone who truly loves you, it is a good thing. "
Qin Yining sat dignified and only listened to Li Yanyan gently. Li Yanyan could not immediately detect her likes and dislikes, and felt more and more uncertain.
However, Li Yanyan had always felt that the County King of Yan was willing to give Qin Yining a place at his side and give her a stable home to live in. This was already a great favor. Was she still not satisfied?
Ever since that day when Gu Chang deliberately instigated in front of Wang Ye, Li Yanyan could feel that Yuchi Yan seemed to like Qin Yining even more.
Rather than let Yuchi Yan bring it up himself, or let that little wench Gu Chang steal the limelight, it was better for her, the principal wife, to think of it for him first. With her status as a Yuchi Yan, she could not stop more women from marrying into the family. It was easy for her to be a virtuous wife.
Qin Yining lowered her long eyelashes when she heard this. She thought for a moment and then shook her head. "I appreciate Wang Fei's kindness. But perhaps you have some understanding of the matters of the imperial court? I am no longer the young lady of a noble family. My father is an official in the imperial court. There are many things that he cannot do as he wishes. As a member of the Family Qin family, it is the same for me. "
Li Yanyan was a little confused by Qin Yining's words. She did not understand what Qin Yining meant, but the meaning of rejection was clear.
Qin Yining would definitely refuse to marry her into the family!
At this moment, Li Yanyan actually let out a sigh of relief. After all, Gu Chang's hypocrisy had already made her feel inferior. If another Qin Yining came to the Royal Prince's Mansion, then she was afraid that she would lose her position as the Princess Consort of the County Prince of Yan sooner or later.
"Younger Sister Qin, don't be in such a hurry to decline." Li Yanyan sighed. "Although Da Zhou is good, it is still different from where we come from. The men here are all strong and powerful, but they lack some gentleness and delicacy. Younger Sister, why don't you reconsider? "
Qin Yining smiled slightly and said, "Wang Fei, you don't need to persuade me anymore. Actually, my intentions are already very clear. I will not marry into the imperial family. Even if the County Prince of Yan was once part of the imperial family, I will not agree to marry him. "
When she heard Qin Yining say this, Li Yanyan was inwardly very happy.
If Qin Yining said that she would not marry him, then she would have a future to strive for and hope for.
If Qin Yining helped her a little more verbally, Li Yanyan was certain that her future with the County Prince of Yan would be like a pair of lovebirds.
However, Li Yanyan also knew that Qin Yining would not say good things about her in front of the County Prince of Yan for no reason.
"Forget it." Li Yanyan had already said what she wanted to say. The County Prince of Yan had hinted for her to be the matchmaker, and she had done as she was told. The success or failure of this matter was no longer within her scope of consideration.
Li Yanyan stood up and nodded. "Younger Sister Qin, think about it carefully. Who knows, maybe the next time Wang Ye will come looking for you. "After she said this, she covered her mouth and laughed.
Qin Yining smiled slightly and called for Bing Tang and Ji Yun to help Li Yanyan out.
Li Yanyan did not forget to remind Qin Yining even after she had boarded the carriage. "Right now, the household is struggling to make ends meet. If Younger Sister is willing to stay by the County Prince of Yan's side, you will be able to save a lot of food and other necessities."
