Chapter 220 The eldest princess comes to propose marriage!
The second day.
The eldest princess took Qin Zhizhi and Gu Yunfei to the Ning family.
The Ning family was very shocked when they received the invitation yesterday. The eldest princess came to their house in person, so they had to treat her well.
Old Madam Ning asked her eldest daughter-in-law to take Cui and Wang Yan and others to make arrangements quickly.
It’s not that the Ning family takes this matter too seriously, but the eldest princess has rarely gone out in recent years because the young master got lost.
The Ning family was both worried and delighted when they suddenly received the invitation from the eldest princess.
Early this morning, Ning Ning's aunt, along with Cui and Wang Yan, started busying themselves to welcome the arrival of the eldest princess.
Ning Ning didn't know that the eldest princess was coming to the mansion. She went to her maternal grandfather Cui's house yesterday and came back a little late.
Seeing that the mansion was busy this morning, Ning Ning asked Cui curiously.
"Mother, are you hosting distinguished guests today? Why is it so grand?"
"Yes, the eldest princess sent an invitation yesterday, saying that she would come to visit your house today." Cui explained to her daughter with a smile.
"Ah, the eldest princess is coming. Does that mean Sister Zhizhi and the princess will also be there?"
Ning Ning's first reaction was that since the eldest princess had come, Qin Zhizhi and Gu Yunfei should also be here.
"My mother doesn't know either. It's not stated in the post."
"I think they will definitely come back. Mother, please have someone prepare some snacks that Sister Zhizhi and the princess will like."
"Okay, go back and clean up a bit. I'll have someone go to the kitchen to prepare it."
"I see. I'll have someone clean up my yard. If they come, they can sit in my yard."
Upon hearing this, Cui smiled and said, "You are certain that your sister Zhizhi and the princess will come."
"I think so. Oh, never mind. Let's get ready first. If they don't come, I'll go find them."
Ning Ning's words made Cui laugh.
"You, you're already a grown-up girl, but you still just play around all day. Look, the princess is about to get engaged."
Cui looked at her childish daughter and felt a little worried. What would happen to her when she got married with such a naive personality?
Although the Ning family is powerful, they don't keep an eye on their daughter all the time.
What she and her husband are most worried about is that their daughter will not be happy in her husband's family in the future.
In the past two years, there have been people who have privately wanted to arrange marriages for her daughter, but she has rejected them all. First, she wanted to keep her daughter for two more years, and second, she was worried that her daughter would not be able to handle the housekeeping duties.
The Ning family has only one daughter. Their first and second wives have a good relationship, and she has the support of her brothers. She only hopes that her daughter can find someone who truly loves her.
Hearing her mother talking about the princess's marriage, Ning Ning thought her mother was reluctant to let her go because she would have to get married in the future.
Holding Cui's arm, she said coquettishly, "I don't want to get married. I want to stay at home with my father and mother for the rest of my life."
"You're just talking nonsense."
"Then I'll get married two years later and spend more time with Mom and Dad."
Cui smiled and tapped her daughter's forehead, and Ning Ning made a playful face.
Because Ning Ning was anxious to go back to the courtyard to arrange things, she separated from Cui and went straight back to the courtyard.
Cui was still in a daze when the maid's hurried voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Second Madam, the First Madam is calling you to the front yard. Her Royal Highness the Princess's carriage has arrived at the street corner."
Cui didn't expect the princess to come so early. She didn't have time to think about it and hurried to the front hall with her maid.
Ning Kun brought people to greet them personally at the gate of the mansion. The eldest princess is the elder sister of the current emperor and has a high status, so she must be received well.
Soon, the princess' carriage arrived. The curtain was lifted, and the eldest princess walked down with the help of her nanny.
Today she was wearing a brocade robe with cloud and phoenix patterns, and a hairpin with nine phoenixes holding pearls in her hair. Her whole demeanor was majestic without even being angry.
Ning Kun quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, Cheng Yuan, respectfully welcomes Her Royal Highness, the Princess. May Your Highness live a thousand years!"
"My dear Ning, there is no need to be so polite. I hope you will not mind my intrusive visit today."
"Your Highness, your presence at my humble home is a great honor to us all."
Qin Zhizhi and Gu Yunfei got off the carriage shortly after.
"Uncle Ning, sorry to bother you!" Qin Zhizhi greeted Ning Kun with a smile.
Then the group went in and entered the main hall. The eldest princess sat at the head of the table and the maids hurriedly served her tea.
After a few pleasantries, the eldest princess said to Ning Ning, "I heard that the back garden of the Ning Mansion is very beautiful. I wonder if Miss Ning could take the princess on a tour."
The eldest princess felt that it was inappropriate for Ning Ning and her daughter to be present when discussing marriage, so she sent them to visit the garden.
"Princess, I will lead the way for you. Let's go for a stroll in the garden."
Ning Ning secretly winked at Gu Yunfei, and Gu Yunfei stood up and bowed to leave.
After leaving the front hall, Ning Ning became lively and pulled Gu Yunfei to her side, jokingly saying, "It turns out that Princess Sister likes to stroll around the garden. Then this servant can only accompany her."
"Why don't you lead the way!" The two of them walked forward laughing and joking.
"Come on, go sit in my yard. I guessed you would come, so I had people prepare everything a long time ago."
Ning Ning knew that visiting the garden was just an excuse. It was just that they wanted to talk about something, and it was inconvenient for her and the princess to be there.
"Let's go and see what our Miss Ning has prepared."
Gu Yunfei was originally a gentle person, and she had a good personal relationship with Ning Ning. She was just teasing Ning Ning on purpose just now.
"The princess has come to visit. Of course, you'll know once you go."
Ning Ning's playful look made Gu Yunfei laugh.
And at this moment in the front hall of the Ning family.
Ning Kun was also sent away by Old Madam Ning, leaving only the women of the Ning family.
"Don't be so nervous. I came to your house today on behalf of the Qin family." The eldest princess went straight to the point.
"I wonder what the princess is doing?" Old Lady Ning asked first.
"The Qin family is interested in marrying into the Ning family, and I came to your house today to ask for your opinion."
"Princess, are you here today to act as a matchmaker for Ning'er?"
Cui finally realized that the eldest princess wanted to matchmake Ning Ning and Qin Qingyun.
"Yes, Master Qin is fond of Miss Ning, so Zhizhi asked me to come with her to ask. Marriage establishes a relationship between two families. If one party is unwilling, then it will become an enmity."
The eldest princess's meaning was very clear. She just came to ask. She would only act as a matchmaker if the Ning family was willing. If the Ning family was not willing, then forget it. They were talking about it in private, and it would not affect the Ning family.
"Your Highness, to be honest, we are very satisfied with Master Xiao Qin."
Madam Ning and others had discussed this issue before. They were optimistic about both Qin Qingyuan and Qin Qingyun. Now that Qin Qingyuan had been granted marriage, the only one left was Qin Qingyun.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask, is Lord Xiao Qin himself satisfied with this marriage?"
Cui was afraid that this marriage was just the Qin family's idea and that Qin Qingyun would not agree.
The eldest princess smiled and said, "Zhizhi, please talk to Madam Ning."
"Aunt Cui, it was my second brother who asked to marry Ning'er."
Qin Zhizhi's words gave Cui a reassurance. She had a good relationship with Qin Zhizhi and was also familiar with Qin Qingyun?
"Since Qingyun likes Ning'er, we naturally have no objection. We just don't know what Ning'er thinks."
"Aunt Cui, why don't you ask Sister Ning'er?"
