On the day of the hairpin banquet, the Yan family specially sent a carriage to pick up Qin Yanning.
When Qin Yanning was going out, he bumped into Qin Yurou and saw Yan Mingye and the twins of the Yan family waiting for Qin Yanning at the door of the Qin family.
Qin Yurou's face suddenly turned ugly.
As the eldest sister, she never liked to join in the fun, so why did she dress up specially to attend the hairpin banquet today?
She couldn't ask directly in front of the Yan family. Qin Yurou rolled her eyes and grabbed Qin Yanning's hand.
"Sister has never liked making noise. Yu Rou thought she didn't want to go to the palace for the banquet. Now that you're dressed up, why don't you ride in the same carriage with us?"
Qin Yanning knew very well what Qin Yurou was up to. She just wanted to keep an eye on him, afraid that he would escape from her and Zhou Xue's control.
Hearing Qin Yurou's voice, the curtain of the Qin family carriage opened. Zhou Xue said with a smile, "Ning'er, Yurou has said that you should get in the carriage quickly. After all, the three young masters of the Yan family are all men, and it will be inconvenient for you to follow them."
When Qin Hongan saw the people from the Yan family coming, he took the initiative to get off the carriage and greet them. Yan Mingye and the twins were not people who didn't know etiquette.
Even though they resented Qin Hongan for forcing his cousin to become a concubine, they still greeted them politely.
Qin Hongan looked at Qin Yanning and said, "Your mother called you to get in the car, why didn't you go? You used to be so withdrawn, how come you've changed so much?"
"If you want to attend the banquet, just tell your mother. Why bother disturbing your uncle and the others?"
The original owner had believed Zhou Xue's lies in the past and had indeed rarely attended banquets between noble ladies. As for the Hairpin Flower Banquet, which was actually a blind date, the original owner would definitely not attend it.
After all, she had always wanted to marry the Seventh Prince and had no intention of getting to know other talented young men.
Since the original owner herself did not socialize, Zhou Xue announced to the public that her eldest daughter was unwell and only took Qin Yurou out to socialize.
Over time, the original owner developed a reputation for being arrogant.
Qin Yanning was unwilling to squeeze into the Qin family's carriage. If it weren't for fulfilling the original owner's wish, she wouldn't want to stay in the Qin family for a single day.
A blind and insane father, two women who smell like tea, and a grandmother who has a low sense of presence but favors boys over girls.
The configuration of the Qin family is simply like raising poisonous insects.
As for Zhou Xuesheng’s two sons, the original owner had too little contact with them, so Qin Yanning didn’t know what kind of people they were, but he thought that it would be difficult for a bad bamboo to produce good bamboo shoots.
Qin Yanning still had to consider the matter of face. He saluted Qin Hongan and Zhou Xue and said calmly: "My cousins came to pick me up specially. It is difficult for me to refuse. I hope my father and madam will forgive me."
Qin Hongan couldn't scold Qin Yanning in front of the Yan family, so he could only let her get on the Yan family's carriage.
Yan Mingye and the twins said hello to Qin Hongan, then set off with Qin Yanning.
Zhou Xue looked at the back of the Yan family's carriage and felt secretly resentful.
Zhou Xue gave Qin Yurou a sharp look, and she knew that her mother wanted her to cooperate in flattering Qin Yanning in front of her father.
She also couldn't stand Qin Yanning's behavior. Ever since her father asked her to be the seventh prince's concubine, she seemed like a different person.
She never had any contact with the Yan family in the past. It was just that she had a capable maternal family, what was the big deal!
She just saw that the sky blue dress Qin Yanning was wearing was made of the most fashionable material.
Her mother didn't have any spare money to buy her clothes. After all, her father's salary was not much, and he had to support such a large family.
The dress was most likely bought by Qin Yanning with her mother's dowry, or by the Yan family.
That idiot Qin Yanning, if she didn't have her maternal grandparents protecting her, she would probably have no choice but to eat coarse food.
Qin Yanning didn't care about the little thoughts of the Qin family members. She felt so comfortable sitting alone in the Yan family's carriage.
This carriage belongs to Old Madam Yan. Because she is old, the seats and cushions in the carriage are padded.
It was summer, and to prevent Qin Yanning from feeling hot, they specially put ice and cooling fruits in the carriage.
The Yan family was not known for extravagance; even Yan Da and Old Madam Yan rarely used ice. Qin Yanning knew this was her family's unconditional love for her.
Soon, the carriage brought Qin Yanning to the palace gate. Old Madam Yan and his two aunts were already waiting for Qin Yanning.
As soon as she saw Qin Yanning arrive, Mrs. Yan couldn't help but smile.
Many ladies of high rank and noble birth were also waiting outside the palace gate. When they saw a fair-skinned, elegant girl getting off the Yan family's carriage, they were all a little curious.
After all, everyone knows that the Yan family has no girls.
It was not until Qin Yanning called out "Grandma" that everyone realized that this was the granddaughter of the Yan family.
Several noble ladies were secretly looking at Qin Yanning.
Seeing that she behaved in a graceful manner, she looked neither like the arrogant sick beauty described by Zhou Xue and Qin Yurou, nor like the nymphomaniac who was obsessed with the Seventh Prince as rumored, and suspicions began to grow in their hearts.
Before they could observe Qin Yanning any longer, the palace gate opened, and everyone followed the eunuchs' instructions to Tianning Palace where the dinner was held.
Qin Yanning supported Old Madam Yan and heard the voices of the people around them become quieter.
When I looked up, I saw a man wearing a black robe and riding a white horse. The man pursed his thin lips, and his pair of passionate peach blossom eyes were enough to capture people's souls.
He did not wear a crown like other men, but instead tied his hair up with a bamboo-shaped jade hairpin.
The man was Shen Ziyu, the son of this small world.
Although Qin Yanning had seen Shen Ziyu in the original owner's memory, he knew that he was a rare handsome guy.
But watching the memory playback, how could it be as stunning as the live performance? Qin Yanning expressed his satisfaction with Shen Ziyu's appearance.
The men who came to the banquet went to the main hall first. Shen Ziyu only glanced at the team of ladies and nobles, and then went to the main hall without stopping.
After Shen Ziyu left, everyone continued chatting.
"It's no wonder that the Prince Regent has taken over the Ministry of Justice again. The murderous aura he exudes is truly terrifying."
"Wasn't he scary before the Regent took over the Ministry of Justice? But he always looks so cold and aloof to everyone. He really doesn't seem to be very popular."
…
Two daughters from unknown families behind Qin Yanning whispered.
Old Madam Yan only saw her granddaughter staring at Shen Ziyu's back, and thought to herself that her little girl was really deeply in love with Shen Ziyu.
I just don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad fate that my old man and I helped her get together.
Old Madam Yan had no idea that what Qin Yanning was thinking at this moment was whether Jie Yuhua's ability to hear people's thoughts had taken effect.
