The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

Not long after Su Yanqi and Ning Zijun left Xiyuan, they met Lin Wanqiao and Cao Yanyan on the road.

"Your Majesty, Qi Langjun." The two parties greeted each other a few steps away.

When several ladies saw Su Yanqi appearing at the same time, they couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Shichiro-kun, why are you here? Is the little fairy very ill?"

Cao Yanyan looked at Su Yanqi and asked worriedly.

Just now at the gate of Hou Mansion, I heard the concierge talking about Ning Ziqing's sudden illness last night and the whole night, which frightened Cao Yanyan.

Now that he saw Su Yanqi here again, he was even more worried about Ning Ziqing's physical condition.

"I'm also here to visit Miss Third. Now that she's fine, Miss Cao should go see her." Su Yanqi explained to her.

Hearing this, Cao Yanyan felt relieved.

Ning Zijun on the side stared at Lin Wanqiao, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"How come Miss Lin has time to see Qingqing today?"

Lin Wanqiao said bluntly: "The third lady felt unwell on the way back last night, so I wanted to come today to see if she is getting better."

Ning Zijun thanked her and said, "Miss Lao Lin is worried. It's sunny outside. Miss Lin, please go in quickly."

Lin Wanqiao nodded slightly to him, and then entered Xiyuan with Cao Yanyan and the others.

Several people came to Ning Ziqing's bedroom and saw her sitting on the bed with her coat on her face, looking a little haggard.

"Little fairy, are you feeling better?" Cao Yanyan hurried forward and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, Sister Cao. It's just that Yue Xin is here. For some reason, it hurts more than usual."

Ning Ziqing pulled Cao Yanyan to sit by the bed and greeted Lin Wanqiao and others.

Immediately, the servants brought some seats and invited them to sit down.

As soon as they sat down, a young lady in green couldn't help but said: "Miss Third, since you are not feeling well, we won't beat around the bush. We are here today to raise donations. We are all here for our family. I would like to ask Miss Third what is going on." What are your plans?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Cao Yanyan and Lin Wanqiao looked at Ning Ziqing at the same time.

Several other ladies were waiting for Ning Ziqing's answer with expectant eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Wanqiao said: "I also talked about the second prince's fundraising today after my father and brother came back from the court. Third Miss, now the Kyoto business circle is led by you and the Fu family, and the families of these ladies are all Being in business, they want to know how you deal with this?”

After hearing this, Ning Ziqing understood their purpose, which was not surprising.

The donation came so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard.

In the past, no one from the royal family would put down their dignity and go to the private sector to raise donations, but every time a disaster occurred, kind-hearted people came forward to donate money and materials to the government.

This time, the second prince personally set up a donation office. He first encouraged courtiers to donate money first, and then sent people to notify various merchants in Kyoto one by one to respond actively.

The second prince shamelessly forced everyone to donate money, which made Ning Ziqing sigh.

Ning Ziqing was sarcastic in her heart and said calmly: "Please go back and tell your families not to donate money yet. We will wait for a few days. Su's Trading Company and I are already discussing. We have decided, and you will follow suit."

After receiving such an answer from her, the ladies breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Wanqiao saw this and changed the subject to liven up the atmosphere.

The room suddenly became lively, and Ning Ziqing enthusiastically chatted with them about various interesting things happening in Kyoto.

Ning Zilan, who was standing outside Xiyuan, heard the laughter that came from time to time, and felt very unhappy.

"Why didn't you torture her to death last night?" Ning Zilan stamped her feet angrily.

The maid Danying persuaded her: "Miss, please bear with it for now. The third lady won't be proud for long. By then, the whole Kyoto will know that she can't have children. Who dares to marry her? I'm afraid she will become a joke!"

Danying said, covering her mouth and smiling sarcastically.

Ning Zilan then showed a look of disdain: "You're right, no matter how rich she is, what will happen? Hens can't lay eggs, who will want her!"

After that, he held up the hairpin on the armrest with disgust and led Danying away: "Let's go and find Miss Xu Er to meet the Lord of Jiarou County together. I can't wait to tell them the good news." ”

As soon as they left, several servants came in with a lot of food and reported back: "Miss Third, the weather is hot, and the Crown Prince ordered us to prepare fruits, cakes and cold drinks to cool down the heat for you ladies."

As the servants spoke, they placed chilled grapes, watermelon, lychees and a dozen plates of exquisite pastries on the table, and then served each of them a bowl of sour plum soup.

At first, the ladies were a little reserved, but Lin Wanqiao took the lead in greeting them without politeness. After a while, the ladies were sitting around the table eating happily.

"Sister Cao, I want to eat grapes and lychees, and bring me a piece of mung bean cake."

Ning Ziqing was so greedy when she saw a pile of food.

Just as Cao Yanyan pulled off a small bunch of grapes, Lin Wanqiao hurriedly stopped her: "Miss Third, these fruits have been chilled. They are too cold, so don't eat them!"

Ning Ziqing had no choice but to beg: "Then you can bring me some pastries!"

Cao Yanyan nodded, reached for a plate of pastries, walked to the bed and handed it to Ning Ziqing.

As soon as Ning Ziqing took over, Yaoyao, who had woken up from sleep, came in and warned her with a threatening look: "Try eating a piece!"

Ning Ziqing was stunned and stared at her displeased.

"Can't the third lady eat all the pastries?" a young lady asked doubtfully.

Yaoyao raised the food list book written by Su Yanqi in her hand and said with a smile, "Qi Langjun doesn't allow her to eat sweets."

Upon hearing this, several young ladies covered their lips and snickered.

Ning Ziqing's face turned red, she rushed out of bed angrily and snatched the booklet from Yaoyao's hand.

"Why should I listen to him? I just like eating cakes."

Yaoyao reluctantly pulled her back to bed: "Little Ancestor, this is not for your own good. The pastry is too sweet. Please wait until you feel better before eating it!"

Ning Ziqing looked at Yaoyao angrily, and Yaoyao stood in front of her, not allowing her to get out of bed again.

At this time, Lin Wanqiao joked: "Qi Langjun is really interested in the third lady. We are so envious. When are you going to marry him? Don't forget to treat us to a wedding drink then."

As soon as she finished speaking, several ladies followed her and asked if Ning Ziqing and Su Yanqi's wedding date had been decided.

Ning Ziqing looked away in embarrassment. Lin Wanqiao and the others thought she was shy.

After continuing to talk and laugh for a while, Yinxiang came in with medicine for Ning Ziqing to take.

Lin Wanqiao and the others didn't want to disturb Ning Ziqing's rest, so they stood up to say goodbye to her and prepare to leave.

Before leaving, Ning Ziqing asked Lin Wanqiao to come to Xiyuan to chat with her to relieve her boredom when she was free, and Lin Wanqiao readily agreed.

A young lady took the opportunity to ask Ning Ziqing if she could come and learn Mrs. Xiang'an's embroidery techniques from her, and Ning Ziqing agreed.

The young lady thanked them gratefully. Ning Ziqing said goodbye to them and ordered Yinxiang and Yaoyao to send them out.

Cao Yanyan stayed alone and told Ning Ziqing that her wedding to Song Yu was scheduled for next month, after Emperor Yao's birthday. Then she took out a wedding invitation from her arms and solemnly handed it to Ning Ziqing.

"It was you who helped us find our fate, so I want to send you the wedding invitation first."

Ning Ziqing excitedly held the wedding invitation and read it carefully several times, and hugged Cao Yanyan happily.

"Sister Cao, you must be happy!"

Cao Yanyan nodded: "I will." She let go of Ning Ziqing and suddenly asked seriously: "What about you? Little Fairy, will the matter between you and His Highness the Fourth Prince come to an end?"

Ning Ziqing was startled, and her face changed in surprise: "You... know everything?"

Cao Yanyan hummed: "That time in Concubine Wan's palace, I saw His Highness the Fourth Highness and you leaning closely together... I didn't think much about it at the time. It wasn't until I saw His Highness the Fourth Highness paying special attention to you later that I Understand.”

Ning Ziqing lowered her eyes: "Sister Cao, are you very disappointed in me? I am obviously engaged to Lord Qilang, but I fell in love with His Highness the Fourth Prince."

Cao Yanyan shook her head, put her hands on her shoulders and said calmly: "A marriage contract is not of your own free will and should not be used to bind you. If you are in love with His Highness the Fourth Prince, you should follow your own heart."

Ning Ziqing's eyes turned red when she spoke, and a look of emotion appeared on her face.

"Thank you, Sister Cao."

"It's just that this road is very difficult. Are you sure you want to go on?"

Cao Yanyan asked her finally.

Ning Ziqing replied without hesitation: "As long as he doesn't give up, I am willing to go on with him."

Cao Yanyan saw her firm attitude and said nothing more.

A few days later in the evening, the second prince sat impatiently on a chair at the donation desk.

In the past few days, although many dignitaries came to donate money and materials, none of the businessmen in Kyoto who were notified came.

The second prince was extremely angry when he thought about this.

"That's it for today. Your Highness is tired. Go back home!"

He waved the official recording orders with a weary look to clear the stall.

"Yes!"

The attendant came over to help him get up and go to the carriage.

At this moment, a long line of gondolas slowly drove up and stopped outside the donation office.

The leaders, Qingxu and Qiang Ze, stepped forward, clasped their fists and said, "We are from Su's Trading Company, and our boss specially sent us to donate money."

When the second prince heard the sound, he immediately turned around and came back, with joy in his eyes.

"Meet the second prince."

Qingxu and Qianze saluted him quickly.

"How much do you want to donate, Mr. Qi Lang?" the second prince asked eagerly.

"The donations from Su's Trading Company are all there. Please take a look at them, the Second Prince!"

Qingxu made a gesture of invitation, and the second prince looked along his hand, and the expression on his face instantly broke.
