The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world
Chapter 273: Losing Face
Ning Ziqing heard Mr. Fu's voice and squeezed out from the crowd of relatives.
"Grandfather."
When she saw Mr. Fu, her nose felt sore and she cried and threw herself into his arms.
Mr. Fu hugged her distressedly.
"Don't cry if you are full. With grandpa here, let me see who dares to bully you again."
Ning Ziqing sobbed in his arms for a long time before her tears gradually stopped.
Ning Houye felt guilty and came over to explain what happened that night, but Mr. Fu refused to pay attention to him with a cold face.
Lord Ning had no choice but to ask Ning Zijun for help.
Ning Zijun still had resentment towards him, and turned away indifferently, unwilling to speak for him.
Mrs. Ning wanted to persuade her to make peace, but Ning Zijun stopped her.
When the relatives saw this, they were even more at a loss and did not dare to say anything.
The hall fell silent for a moment.
After a long while, when Ning Ziqing calmed down, Jiang Quhan went over to pull her up and took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.
"You take the old man to your garden for lunch first. Zijun and I have something to talk about."
Ning Ziqing calmed down and called Huiyi's grandmother to help Mr. Fu back to Xiyuan.
The old lady was about to see her off when the concierge hurried over to report.
"Your Highnesses, another group of envoys have arrived to deliver congratulatory gifts."
Jiang Quhan thought for a moment and then said as ordered: "Let them come in."
He and Ning Ziqing sat back in the hall again.
Lord Ning and others retreated to both sides.
After a while, several envoys, wearing ill-fitting robes, walked in cautiously.
As soon as they saw Jiang Quhan, they immediately knelt down and saluted respectfully.
"I will pay my respects to Grandpa King Yijiang and Grandma Princess!"
Hearing them call Jiang Quhan and Ning Ziqing that way, Lord Ning and the others were speechless in shock.
Even Mr. Fu was stunned.
Why do you call her so old?
There was a faint smile on Jiang Quhan's lips, and he lightly pressed his fingers on the table for a long time.
Several envoys had no choice but to keep kneeling and worshiping, feeling uneasy in their hearts.
Ning Ziqing knew that they were envoys from Dongji Island, so he motioned for them to excuse themselves and asked with concern.
"Several envoys have come a long way, but are they safe on the way?"
A middle-aged envoy headed by the leader respectfully replied: "Thank you for your concern, Princess and Grandma. We sailed all the way to Cangzhou and everything went smoothly. It's just that the weather got colder as we went to Kyoto. We didn't bring suitable clothes, so we... I came to pay my respects, and I hope the princess and grandma won’t blame you.”
Seeing their embarrassment, Ning Ziqing smiled gently and said: "No problem, the envoys have worked hard all the way. They have a good rest today. There will be a happy event in Ninghou Mansion tomorrow. You can come and have a cup of wedding wine and feel the customs of Nanyao Kingdom. .”
After that, she ordered her servants to take them to Xiuhefang to buy some suitable clothes.
Several envoys were very grateful and expressed their thanks one after another.
They didn't expect this princess grandmother to be so approachable, and they couldn't help but respect her.
When they bowed and were about to leave, Jiang Quhan called out to them.
"Wait a minute, where are the gifts you prepared for Princess Grandma?"
The envoys quickly brought in a few boxes from outside.
"Back to Grandpa Jiang, we have brought all the luminous pearls we have collected over the years, as well as some fine pearls and bird's nests. I hope Grandma Princess will accept them."
An envoy took out an exquisite box from one of the boxes and handed it to Jiang Qie.
Jiang Qie presented the box to Ning Ziqing and opened it, only to see that the box contained dozens of luminous pearls as big as pigeon eggs.
Although each one is not as big as the one Jiang Quhan gave her before, it is still extremely precious. It is obvious that Dongji Island has emptied its own wealth this time.
The relatives in the hall stared at these precious gifts with burning eyes, looking at Ning Ziqing with longing eyes.
Ning Ziqing turned a deaf ear to them and just asked Jiang Qie to put away the Night Pearl properly.
She told the envoys that she liked the gifts sent from Dongji Island very much, and warmly invited them to stay in Kyoto for a longer time and select some Nan Yao country's special items to take back as return gifts.
In addition, if they are willing, Ning Ziqing also welcomes them to come to Nanyao Kingdom for trade in the future.
The envoys were overjoyed when they heard the news, and once again expressed their deep gratitude and respect to Ning Ziqing.
After seeing them off, Ning Ziqing helped Mrs. Fu back to Xiyuan.
Several elders wanted to follow but were stopped by Jiang Quhan.
"Princess A Zhao has been tired for most of the day. You'd better not disturb her rest. As her elders, you should be able to understand her. Put away all the thoughts that you shouldn't have from now on. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind. !”
Under Jiang Quhan's majesty, the relatives had no choice but to give up and bow out angrily.
After they left, Jiang Quhan walked up to Ning Zijun and persuaded him: "Zijun, your wedding is tomorrow, let's put these trivial matters aside for now. Don't get angry with your father first, we have to get the wedding done." Good, so as not to worry your sister and the old man."
Ning Zijun understood in his heart and thanked Jiang Quhan.
Jiang Quhan patted him on the shoulder, his attitude softened a bit, and turned to discuss with Lord Ning.
"Master Ning, today is the occasion for Azhao to be crowned a princess. We should have entertained guests and celebrated grandly. But I thought that there will be a wedding banquet in the Marquis Mansion tomorrow, so why not hold these two happy events together and invite the envoys by the way? The ministers have come to watch the ceremony, what do you think of Lord Ning?"
Although his tone was very polite, Lord Ning could hear an undoubted meaning in it.
Although he felt uncomfortable, he forced a smile and agreed.
"Just follow His Highness King Qian's wishes."
Jiang Quhan curled his lips with satisfaction, turned his eyes to the gifts piled in the yard, and ordered Jiang Qie.
"Send someone to take care of the princess's gifts. Don't lose anything. If they don't match the gift list from the envoy later, they will make a joke and damage the princess's face."
Jiang Qie was simple-minded and did not hear the hidden meaning of Jiang Quhan's words.
"Who dares to steal Asaya's gift? Does he want to die?"
Jiang Quhan and Ning Zijun looked at each other and pursed their lips in a tacit smile.
Upon hearing this, the faces of Marquis Ning and others in the hall suddenly became embarrassed and ugly.
The old lady glared at Lord Ning in shame, and hurriedly left the front hall angrily.
Today, these relatives in Ninghou Mansion made her lose face.
