Mrs. Qian is much smarter than Qian Qiyue. Just now Tang Ning was paving the way for Miss Wang, so it was rare to force Xie Yuyan to apologize. From now on, Miss Wang will have less gossip when she enters the academy with men.
But if he continues to pursue them aggressively and really makes a fuss, the people in Prince Ji's Mansion will have a hard time, and Tang Ning and Mrs. Wang may not be well off either.
In the palace, there are some things that are good for everyone if only they are settled.
Qian Qiyue pouted after receiving a slap and stopped, but Mrs. Wang bowed towards Tang Ning: "Thank you, Princess."
Tang Ning helped her up: "No need to thank me. I have had a quarrel with Prince Ji's Mansion for a long time. It's because of me that Japan has troubled you today."
She liked this girl who was similar to her age very much. If Miss Wang had flinched when she faced Prince Ji's Mansion just now, although Tang Ning would not blame her, he might not care much about her, but Miss Wang obviously saw it I understand her intentions.
Looking at this thoughtful and thoughtful girl, Tang Ning was willing to be friends with her.
"It will take some time for the academy to re-enroll. If you are willing, you can come to Jiuyun Lane to find me, or go to the academy library to read books. I have a younger sister who likes to go to school and stay in the library just like you. , you will definitely hit it off with her."
Mrs. Wang was delighted: "Can I do it?"
Tang Ning smiled and said, "Of course."
Miss Wang quickly said: "Thank you so much, Princess Yuzhen."
"Stop calling me Princess. Call me Tangning. From now on, I'll call you Yuzhen."
Mrs. Wang could feel Tang Ning's friendly feelings toward her. Her cheeks were a little red, and she was more close to her. She called out "Tang Ning" in a low voice, and saw the extremely handsome Princess Xiangning coming towards her. He smiled brightly at her, and she couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth as well.
Sure enough, the rumors were all false, and the princess was obviously very good.
…
Fu Jinrou looked at Tang Ning and Mrs. Wang who were chatting happily, and saw Qian Qiyue chatting beside them, obviously very friendly to others.
She bit her lip lightly and said worriedly to Mrs. Fu next to her: "Uncle, although Miss Xie no longer has the title of princess, she is still a member of the royal family. The princess and Sister Qian are so in public. She and Princess Ji have a good reputation, and the people in Prince Ji's Mansion may hate them."
Mrs. Fu patted her hand: "You are overthinking. It was the people in Prince Ji's Mansion who were at fault first. If Tangning doesn't speak back, he will be looked down upon."
She is the daughter of the Rong family, a princess consecrated by His Majesty, and she has Rongsheng Academy behind her.
If she is hit in the face but does not know how to fight back, or if she is humiliated but still smiles, others will not think that she is tolerant and tolerant, but will only despise her for being timid and cowardly.
Mrs. Fu only thought that Fu Jinrou had entered Beijing not long ago, so she explained softly to her:
"Tang Ning had a lot of troubles in the past, and it took a lot of effort to restore her reputation because of the academy. If she doesn't protect the reputation of the academy today and lets people insult her at will, then Rongsheng Academy will become a big joke."
The literati in this world are all noble, and they will not like a groveling and spineless person. On the contrary, Tang Ning is well-reasoned and refutes the powerful in the name of students and the academy. Even if it is spread, he will only be praised by others.
As for Prince Ji’s Mansion…
"The man from Prince Ji's Mansion has already had enemies with Tang Ning, A Yue and the others, and this is not the case."
Fu Jinrou sighed softly after hearing this: "That's good. I'm also worried that the people in Prince Ji's Mansion will embarrass the princess and the others."
Mrs. Fu chuckled softly, looked at the gentle Fu Jinrou beside her, and said to her:
"Tang Ning is a good-tempered girl, and A Yue is also an honest girl. You can walk around with them more in the future and learn to be tougher to avoid being bullied."
Fu Jinrou was worried: "But I'm afraid the princess won't like me."
Mrs. Fu smiled: "How could it be possible? Tang Ning has the best temperament. You and her will definitely get along."
Fu Jinrou smiled lightly: "Then I'll listen to my uncle and grandma."
Mrs. Fu saw her docile and well-behaved appearance and couldn't help but said: "You are just too well-behaved, my child."
Being so soft-tempered is not a good thing in Beijing.
It seems that Tangning and the others need to teach Fu Jinrou how to stand up on her own so that she won't be bullied.
Mrs. Fu was thinking about it in her mind, while patting Fu Jinrou's hand: "Let's go, I will take you to meet other people."
…
There was a commotion in Deyu Palace, but the news never spread elsewhere.
After Princess Ji and the others left, the Crown Princess of the Lu Palace and the remaining female relatives of the clan who had "shared the same hatred and hatred" all avoided Tang Ning. After seeing the fate of Princess Ji and her daughter, no one would feel uncomfortable coming forward. Find trouble with Princess Xiangning, who is extremely stubborn and fierce.
When the sky darkened, the palace servants came over to invite the women to the Zichen Hall where the banquet was held. When they got to the banquet room, there were already courtiers there.
Tangning and Qian Qiyue separated and followed Rongyue to their places.
The position was not particularly forward. It was a little far away from the position of the emperor's concubines and the palace door above. It was unknown whether intentional or not. Behind the two of them, there were painted red beams, which separated them from other seats. The musicians who played the music were not far away from them either.
Before Tang Ning entered the table, she turned around and glanced at the musicians, and her eyes paused on two of them.
"Tang Ning, it's time to take a seat." Rongyue turned around.
Tang Ning smiled: "Here he comes."
…
The Zichen Hall is much larger than the Deyu Hall. In previous years, it was used to entertain envoys from various countries, sing, dance, and have banquets during the great dynasty gatherings. Because this year's Mid-Autumn Palace banquet was grand, many more people attended the banquet, and the palace was full of talents. The place where the banquet was held was placed here.
But despite this, there was not enough room for so many seats in the palace, and the banquet was spread all the way to the outside of the palace.
Fortunately, palace lanterns had been set up in front of the palace early, so people who were not of high enough official rank would not feel dim when sitting under the wide eaves outside.
The music is gurgling, and the full moon rises into the sky outside.
Many people in the hall were chatting and laughing in low voices. Tang Ning was sitting in the banquet, chatting casually with Rong Yue in a low voice while paying attention to other people in the hall.
The princes and princesses in the clan occupied a separate place. The courtiers of the aristocratic families and the Qingliu faction were also clearly distinguished. The female family members who could still joke with each other in the Deyu Palace before were also separated.
Prince Hate was sitting diagonally above him, holding a wine glass in his hand as if he was drinking to strengthen his courage. Grand Master Liang was talking quietly to the people around him, and Cao Dejiang seemed to be studying the dishes on the table...
Tang Ning glanced at it and his eyes suddenly froze.
"What are you looking at?" Rongyue followed her gaze and whispered, "Isn't Cui Lin seriously ill? Why did you come to the banquet?"
Tang Ning pursed her lips slightly. Cui Lin had been seriously ill before and had lost a lot of weight. Now his empty official robe was gathered around his body, making his sickly face look a bit gloomy.
His illness has not gone away, and his "broken" arm has not healed yet. He has not even attended the morning court for several days, but suddenly he came to the palace banquet...
Tang Ning felt a little uneasy in her heart, but at this moment, shouts suddenly came from outside.
"Your Majesty is here!"
The sounds in the hall disappeared instantly, and everyone stood up quickly.
Emperor An led several palace concubines in one after another, and Xiao Yan and Yu Yanfeng followed them and stood in front of the high platform.
Tangning calmed down and knelt down along with everyone.
"See your majesty, long live your majesty!"
