Chapter 564 Protecting Each Other
After hearing her words, Lady Minghua smiled softly: "I will."
When she lowered her eyes, a sad look flashed in her eyes.
If she were a girl from an ordinary family, she might have had this opportunity. However, she was not, she was the daughter of the eldest princess.
She has benefited from her mother's help since she was a child, and now that she has grown up, she must repay her mother.
Gong Qianyue came over with her belly bulging and said to Qin Huiyin, "Sister Qin, it's been a while since we last met."
"My sister is now the young lady of the Zhu family. She is busy taking care of the household expenses all day long. She is also pregnant with the Zhu family's child. It's true that she hasn't been out and about for some time."
"Not long ago, I passed by the Food City and wanted to go in for a while, but before I even got off the carriage, the servants from the mansion hurried me back home. Sometimes I always think of the days in the county town. Back then, your Food City was always full, and I had to have you save a seat for me every day when I went to dine in your restaurant. In the blink of an eye, several years have passed, and you and I are both married."
Gong Qianyue and Qin Huiyin reminisced about the past, and when they talked about interesting things from the old years, their emotions were sincere and touching.
Qin Huiyin cooperated with her performance and told her old stories.
In fact, whether it was before or now, they were just doing it for the sake of face. Gong Qianyue had always been a person who would not do anything without profit, and she could not tell what she was trying to gain by getting close to her like this.
Is it because Song Ruize is now the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?
The position of Jinyiwei Commander was not very high, but it had real power and was more feared than many first-rank officials who had no real power.
"Let's go sit there for a while?" Gong Qianyue said, "It's been so long since we last met, and I have a lot to say to you."
"It's been a while since I last saw Madam Zhu," said Lady Minghua. "Would Madam Zhu welcome me to join you?"
Gong Qianyue smiled and said, "You're joking, County Master. The scenery over there is quite nice. County Master, are you not afraid of getting bored? Why don't we go sit for a while?"
There was still some time before dinner, and some of the ladies of the court had not yet arrived. The first to arrive were almost all the young ones. Those who arrived early, accompanied by a few others, enjoyed the scenery in the East Palace.
Qin Huiyin followed Gong Qianyue and County Master Minghua to a pavilion not far ahead.
They chatted about this and that, talking about fashionable clothes, fashionable flower ornaments, fashionable hair buns. After chatting for a while, she covered her stomach and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable. Can the county lady help me call someone over?"
"Madam Song, why don't you go call someone over?" Lady Minghua said, "I'll stay here with Madam Zhu."
Qin Huiyin immediately responded: "Okay."
She stood up and left the pavilion immediately without waiting for Gong Qianyue to say anything.
Chang Xiaohuan said that Gong Qianyue's belly was precious, and even she had to stay away for fear of bumping into her.
She didn't know what Gong Qianyue was going to do, but she definitely had bad intentions. County Master Minghua had obviously seen through it, so she had been obstructing Gong Qianyue's plans from the beginning.
As soon as Qin Huiyin left, Gong Qianyue said to Lady Minghua, "Lady Minghua, I seem to be fine now. I'll excuse myself for now."
"Mrs. Zhu, you are pregnant and shouldn't overwork. You should sit down and rest for a while." said Lady Minghua.
Gong Qianyue forced a smile: "Okay."
"This county lady has something else to do, so I'll leave first. You can sit here and come back when your stomach doesn't hurt anymore."
Qin Huiyin found a servant in the palace and asked her to report to the Crown Princess that the young lady of the Zhu Mansion was complaining of stomach discomfort.
Not long after, the imperial physician came and was led by a servant to a pavilion not far away.
Lady Minghua returned and said to Qin Huiyin, "Madam Song, please follow me today. It's a good opportunity for us to have a chat."
"Thank you, County Princess." Qin Huiyin had no objection.
Although the Princess of Minghua is the daughter of the eldest princess, she is indeed a rather interesting person.
Qin Huiyin is a celebrity, and many people are curious about her, but not many take the initiative to seek her out.
Princess Cui Lingyao ordered her to go over and talk for a while. The meaning was very clear, that is, to express the importance of the Eastern Palace to Song Ruize. To put it bluntly, this is to show others, to let everyone know that Song Ruize is from the Eastern Palace, so the Princess wanted to give Qin Huiyin some face.
When Chang Xiaohuan and Qin Huiyin were alone together, they talked about Zhu Hongxiu's current situation. It seemed that after her previous marriage was canceled, no major family dared to propose marriage to her. She was too picky and didn't want to marry someone else, so she became an unwanted daughter of the Zhu family.
"Crown Princess..." A nanny came over and whispered a few words in the Crown Princess' ear.
The Crown Princess's expression changed drastically. She stood up and said, "Everyone, please enjoy your meal. I have something to do and will have to excuse myself."
Qin Huiyin was curious, but although she was curious, she had no intention of going over to watch the fun.
She sat at the same table with Lady Minghua. Lady Minghua's maid quickly found out everything and came back to report to her. She was right next to them and of course heard it all clearly.
"The young lady of the Zhu Mansion and the prince are in the backyard..."
Qin Huiyin raised her eyebrows.
Only one young lady came to the Zhu Mansion today, and that was Zhu Hongxiu. So, did Zhu Hongxiu climb onto the prince's bed?
Ever since her last marriage proposal was called off, Zhu Hongxiu hasn't been able to find a satisfactory marriage. This woman is so overconfident that she'd rather be the tail of a phoenix than the head of a chicken, setting her sights on the Crown Prince. However, today was the Crown Princess's birthday banquet, and she had climbed onto the Crown Prince's bed during it. She was truly fearless, having completely offended the Crown Princess right from the start.
Qin Huiyin was curious and wanted to know how the Crown Princess would deal with Zhu Hongxiu.
"Everyone, today's banquet ends here. The Crown Princess is feeling unwell, so she won't come to see you off." The old nanny came out to see the guests off.
Everyone present was a shrewd person. The Crown Princess's expression was clearly off just now, and now she didn't even come to see the guests off in person. It was obvious that something had happened in the harem, leaving the Crown Princess with no time to care for the guests in front.
Qin Huiyin left the palace smoothly and got on the carriage back home.
Whoosh! The carriage stopped.
A man lifted the curtain and came in.
Qin Huiyin saw Song Ruize and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"I was originally going to the Eastern Palace to see the prince." By the way, I wanted to find out if his Yinyin had been wronged in the Eastern Palace.
"The prince probably doesn't have time to see you now, right?" Qin Huiyin said.
"That's right, I didn't see him. They said the prince is busy right now." Song Ruize said, "How did Yinyin know?"
"I just came out of the East Palace!" Qin Huiyin said, "The prince should be dealing with his romantic debts now."
She told him the news she had just heard.
"I also listened from the side, but I didn't hear it clearly. I don't know if it was what I thought." Qin Huiyin said.
