Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining had already washed and changed into a semi-new and well-worn collared jacket, with long, half-dry hair dangled and glowing under the orange light.Except for the eyes, there was some redness and swelling, and I couldn't see the sadness just now.

But even so, the people who followed her all the year round knew her sadness.

Bingtang and Jiyun are very anxious: "We don't want to marry. Didn't we say that we have done it before, and we will stay with you in the future."

"Yeah, what good is it to marry?"

"What silly thing to say?" Qin Yining took their hand, "Of course I welcome to be with me. When you get married, you can still come to the palace to see me often. This does not delay our reunion. Do you still want to do it? A palace lady for a lifetime?"

"What's wrong with being a court lady?"

Qin Yining's white hand lifted the broken hair from the temples of Jiyun, "Okay, don't be impulsive, and don't say silly things. People always have to move forward in their entire life. A stage will pass. Even if you are reluctant, the next stage will come. You are all good girls. Now that I and the prince are capable, I will give you a good home. In the future, you and Hemeimei will live your own little life, not like being a court lady by my side. Good coming?"

"But... in this deep palace, where is there someone who can be caring?" Bingtang sniffed and touched a tear.

Qin Yining sighed helplessly, "Always get used to it. After you get married, you will have to live by yourself. You have to decide the big and small affairs in the house. You have to learn to adapt in those days. The emperor is with me, and Hu Zi and Tang Xiu dare not bully you secretly."

Jiyun lowered his head and said, "We have you to support us, but what about you?"

Qin Yining smiled and wiped her tears with the veil, "Me? Naturally, the emperor came up to support her. The life is still long, and the roads are all stepped on by people. Where is there anything that can't get through? You guys? , Don’t worry about me, do you really want to be an old girl by my side? Besides, the emperor’s will has been laid down, so that you can get married another day. Is the imperial decree able to resist?"

Bingtang and Jiyun also know these truths, but they are empty in their hearts and are about to enter another life. They are confused and reluctant.

Qin Yining took the hands of the two and shook one left and the other right: "Well, you can rest assured, I asked someone to prepare a house and a generous dowry for you, and the maidservant to be married will also be selected for you. In the future, with me as your backing, the palace is your natal family. Just go forward boldly and confidently. The road ahead is still long, and life will only be better. Don't be afraid, you know."

Knowing that this is an unchangeable fact, even if Jiyun and Bingtang are reluctant to bear Qin Yining, they can only thank you and retire with tears.

As soon as the two of them left the house, they saw Pang Xiao standing in front of him, and the palace men beside them stood silently with their hands down, and they didn't know how long he had been waiting in front of the door.

The two hurriedly saluted Pang Xiao: "See the emperor."

Pang Xiao waved his hand, craned his neck to look inside, and then asked the two in a low voice, "How is your master now?"

"I am sad," Bingtang whispered, "It's just that the queen is a stronger person, and her sadness can usually be digested by herself."

Pang Xiao's heart twitched.I remembered what the two children said.The Yao family was unscrupulous in front of the children, and I am afraid that it was even too much in front of Qin Yining. I am afraid that what he knows is only a part of it. Qin Yining has endured all the grievances secretly.

"You go down."

Unable to wait, Pang Xiao walked quickly into the hall, waved back the palace servants who were about to come forward to serve, and quickly walked into the hall.

Qin Yining heard footsteps coming out, and seeing Pang Xiao anxious, smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"

Her eyes were still swollen, the silkworm was more obvious when she laughed, and her smile was even more pitiful.

Pang Xiao took her hand and sat down on the warm kang beside the window, and put her arms around her and asked in a low voice, "Are you in a better mood?"

"It's much better. I already want to drive." Qin Yining smiled, rubbing his cheeks in Pang Xiao's arms, like a lazy cat, "Father and mother have their own ideas, and there is nothing wrong with them if they want to go to Xiyue. It’s a big deal. I’ll see them more in the future. Brother Zhao’s kid..."

Qin Yining's voice choked, suppressing grief, and said helplessly: "When the child grows up, he will always leave me. Right now, he just made a choice in advance. We are parents, not to keep the child around, but It’s to make them feel at ease. Brother Zhao's young age can make such a decision today, there must be a reason, as long as he is not forced to do so."

"You really figured it out." Pang Xiao sighed, "Don't worry, Brother Zhao may grow up better by following his father-in-law. From now on, we just want to reunite more. It is not always impossible to enter Xiyue. come out."

Having said that, it is not easy to see each other in the future.

Qin Yining knew it clearly, but was not entangled in the matter. After nodding and responding, he reported to Pang Xiao the dowry and industry list he had prepared for Bingtang, Jiyun and Lian Xiaoconge.

Seeing that she was in good spirits, Pang Xiao added some as appropriate, and smiled again: "You are the master, you are so generous to them, I am not too harsh, so I will give more to Tang Xiu, Hu Zi and Fang Hailing. Reward, lest it be compared."

Both of them laughed.

Seeing that the New Year is approaching, this is the first New Year of Daxin. Everywhere in the palace is preparing for the new year. In the first year of the new emperor's accession to the throne, the New Year is equally important and should not be sloppy.

However, Qin Yining seldom took a break and gave everything to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare. Apart from waking up in the morning to greet the Queen Mother, the rest of the time was accompanied by the children with Qin Huaiyuan and his party.The time to get together is getting less and less. After the year, Bingtang and Jiyun have become relatives, and Qin Huaiyuan is ready to set off.Qin Yining cherished the present day more and more.

On New Year’s Eve, there is no curfew in the capital.

Wanjia lights, red lights hung high, and the tall palace walls were reflected by the colorful fireworks that rose to the sky.Every family is keeping the year old, the firecrackers are crackling and the air is full of fireworks.

The adults are happy, and the children are happy.

Brother Zhao, Brother Han, and Brother Yan clapped their hands in the courtyard of the Kunning Palace, cheering and jumping.Some young little maids and servants also followed the master and looked up at the bright flowers blooming in the sky.

Qin Yining retracted his gaze to look out of the window, and when he turned his head, he saw Qiu Feishan and walked with a smile.

"Empress Empress." Qiu Feishan bowed a bow.

"It's going to be like this." Qin Yining hurriedly stretched out his arm and smiled: "I enter the palace today to keep the year old. I don't know if you like it or not.

"I like it." Qiu Feishan hesitated, and said, "After Fang Hailing and Lian are married, our family is going to leave. We want to go back to Tianji Valley together."

Qin Yining was no longer so surprised when he heard about the separation.

After all, Mu Jinghu also has his own life, Pang Xiao has now become a thing, and Mu Jinghu has no reason to follow him as a guard.

Qin Yining nodded, but he still had some doubts about Qiu Feishan, "Do you really plan to live in seclusion with Young Master Mu in the future?"
