Seeing that the secret agents loved and respected Qin Yining so much, Qin Huaiyuan couldn't help but smile as he stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back.
He didn't blame Qin Yining for handling this matter without discussing it with him. Instead, he felt that his daughter's wisdom was becoming more and more mature. Such a method of killing two birds with one stone wasn't something that anyone could think of.
Cao Yuqing stood beside Qin Huaiyuan and looked at his smiling profile. She couldn't help but smile as well. "Fourth Miss has surpassed her master. Daren will have a successor in the future."
"That's right." Qin Huaiyuan nodded slightly.
Although he regretted that he didn't have a son, now that things were like this, what was there to force?
Besides, his daughter had the appearance, talent, and was resourceful. She was loyal and righteous, and she had a keen sense for court affairs. Every time she pointed out the problems of the current situation, his eyes lit up.
Such a clever and sensible daughter was simply eighteen streets ahead of those second generations who rode horses on the streets. What was so great about giving birth to that kind of son? If they had the ability, it would be great if they could also raise a smart and beautiful daughter!
Qin Huaiyuan couldn't help but laugh heartily. He walked towards the old madam and the others who had already come out to welcome them.
"Old madam, look. I told you that First Master would be fine. Your Majesty has placed First Master in such an important position." Second Madam held the old madam's arm and joined in the fun.
The old madam beamed with smiles and nodded repeatedly. She pulled Qin Huaiyuan's arm and said, "Next time Your Majesty asks you to do something, remember to send a message home. Don't make Mother worry for nothing."
"I know, Mother." Qin Huaiyuan smiled and comforted her. "Now that we have a firm foothold, it's fine as long as we live our days in peace. There's no need to worry too much in the future."
"Really?" The old madam grabbed Qin Huaiyuan's arm in surprise.
Qin Huaiyuan saw his old mother like this and felt a bit sad in his heart. He said with a smile, "Of course it's true. As long as we live our days in peace and don't cause trouble, it's fine. "
"That's good, that's good." Old madam smiled and nodded repeatedly. She turned around and instructed Mammy Qin to ask someone to prepare the meal.
Qin Yining had a reunion dinner with his family, washed up, and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
In the middle of the night, Ji Yun, who was sleeping, heard a noise from the back window. She woke up with a start and looked back, only to see Pang Xiao coming out from the corner door of the washroom behind the bed.
Ji Yun could not help but laugh in her heart. Counting the days, Wang Ye should be here in the next few days. He smiled and bowed. Then, he quietly opened the door and left.
Pang Xiao sat on the edge of Qin Yining's bed and looked at the sleeping Qin Yining with the dim light left by Ji Yun.
She was lying on her side. Her white cheeks were pressed against the pillow whose exact color could not be seen under the candlelight. Her lips were slightly open, revealing two slightly large front teeth. Her long hair was scattered on the pillow, making her palm-sized face look even smaller. The shadows cast by her long eyelashes were like two small fans.
Pang Xiao gently rubbed her cheeks with his index finger.
Qin Yining dodged in a daze and muttered with a frown.
Pang Xiao could not help but chuckle. He could not help but lean over and kiss her on the cheek.
After exhausting her mind for several days, Qin Yining had been in a state of high exhaustion. If it had been any other day, she would have woken up long ago. However, today, she showed no signs of waking up. She was still in a deep sleep with a frown.
Pang Xiao did not wake her up. He just sat on the side and looked at her quietly. His fingers twirled a strand of her long hair and played with it. When he was tired of sitting, he lay on the edge of her bed for a while.
It was not until late at night that he kissed her lips again. He whispered softly, "I'm leaving. I'll come to see you next time."
What answered him was Qin Yining's regular breathing as she slept.
Pang Xiao chuckled and left through the window.
The next morning, when Qin Yining got up to wash up, she found that there were several crooked braids on her head.
She was covering her mouth and yawning when she met Ji Yun's teasing gaze.
"What's wrong?" Qin Yining took the salt and brushed her teeth.
Ji Yun took a handkerchief and prepared it at the side. She whispered, "The braids on your head are all Wang Ye's masterpieces."
Qin Yining was shocked. She muttered, "What?"
"You were in a deep sleep last night. Wang Ye did not wake you up when he came. He just sat by the side and watched you sleep. Perhaps he was bored, so he played with your hair. I didn't expect you to not react even after I braided several braids for you. "
Qin Yining didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"When Wang Ye came, this servant naturally had to withdraw. You should go back and ask Wang Ye why he didn't wake you up. "
Qin Yining was so embarrassed that her face turned red. She rolled her eyes at Ji Yun and whispered, "You must have learned bad things from Bing Tang. Your words are becoming more and more vicious."
Ji Yun saw that Qin Yining was so embarrassed and laughed even more happily.
With all the troubles resolved, Qin Yining was in a good mood. She wanted to find time to discuss business matters with Master Zhong.
Who knew that just as she finished changing her clothes, someone outside shouted, "Fourth Young Lady, First Madam wants you to quickly go to the front hall."
Qin Yining was stunned. She straightened the jade hairpin on her head and pushed the door open. She said, "Why is my mother looking for me?"
"Replying to Young Lady, just now, a mama came from the palace to pass on the Empress Dowager's order. She said that she wants to see First Madam."
Qin Yining immediately became nervous. The person who passed on the message didn't open the door, so she didn't know about it!
She anxiously quickened her pace, afraid that her mother would be wronged. When she arrived at the front hall, she saw the Sun Clan talking with a mama who was about forty years old and wearing the clothes of a female official.
Seeing Qin Yining enter, the mama stood up and saluted, "Greetings to Young Lady Qin. This servant's surname is Chen, and I serve the Empress Dowager. Today, the Empress Dowager has invited Madam Qin and Young Lady to the palace for a gathering. "
Qin Yining was very puzzled when she heard this, but she still had a flattered expression on her face. "The Empress Dowager has summoned us. We weren't prepared for this and were really afraid that we would offend the Empress Dowager."
Mama Chen smiled and said, "Young Lady Qin is joking. The Empress Dowager knows that Lord Qin is Your Majesty's right-hand man and has been looking for an opportunity to meet you and Madam. Today, it just so happens that all the womenfolk are coming to the palace to pay their respects. The Empress Dowager has ordered this servant to come pick you and Madam Qin up. You and Madam really don't need to be nervous. "
It would be a lie to say that they weren't nervous. The Sun Clan was so nervous that their palms were sweating. She wanted to say that Qin Huaiyuan was in the morning court and they had to wait for Qin Huaiyuan to return home before making a decision. However, these thoughts were just thoughts. After all, she also knew that it wasn't appropriate to say these words.
Qin Yining calmed down.
No matter what the Empress Dowager wanted to do, she wouldn't take their lives. As long as they didn't lose their lives, nothing else could be considered a big deal.
"Then, I'll have to trouble Mama Chen."
"Don't mention it." Seeing Qin Yining so happy, Mama Chen smiled and said, "The carriage has already been prepared. The Empress Dowager specifically ordered me to pick up Madam and Young Lady. Will you two come with this servant? "
