After the noble lady was reborn, the whole mansion begged her for forgiveness

Old Madam Qin woke up from her deep afternoon sleep.

The sunlight shone obliquely on the couch in the hall, and Nanny Zhou was already waiting by the side.

When Madam Qin woke up, she told her Qin Suyu and Fang Rushuang's plan in a soft voice.

Old Madam Qin sat up straight, closed her eyes, twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand, and silently recited Buddhist scriptures, as if washing away the troubles of the world.

After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes, her gaze somewhat clear, and asked, "Where's Ling'er?"

Upon seeing this, Nanny Zhou hurried forward and brewed a new pot of tea. She replied softly, "Young lady took Jinxiu out of the house before noon, saying that she wanted to go out for some fresh air."

Old Madam Qin sighed softly, put down the Buddhist beads in her hand, picked up the teacup on the kang table, gently scraped the lid of the cup, and the aroma of tea filled the air.

She took a sip, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "This tea has a unique flavor, it seems I have never tasted it before."

Madam Zhou stood aside and explained with a smile: "This is the new tea that the young lady brought back from Princess Huaiyang last time. She said it was specially made for you to taste."

Upon hearing this, Madam Qin showed a gratified smile on her face: "This child is always so filial. I'm afraid she has gone to see Princess Huaiyang again. If she doesn't want to come back, then don't come back, so that she won't be bored in the mansion."

Nanny Zhou chuckled and agreed, "Young lady and Princess Huaiyang have been inseparable since childhood and are as close as sisters."

Madam Qin nodded, and thinking of the two beautiful girls, she couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart: "Yes, with Princess Huaiyang here, Ling'er won't be so lonely."

Then, she thought of Qin Suyu again and asked, "How is Yu'er? She seems a little strange today."

Nanny Zhou replied respectfully, "Madam, after Miss Qin Suyu returned to the courtyard, she used the excuse of feeling unwell and invited a doctor. The doctor said that there was nothing serious and that she only needed to rest for a few days."

Madam Qin frowned slightly when she heard this: "Well, Yu'er is too thoughtful. I'm afraid Fang Rushuang will cause trouble for her."

……

As autumn deepens, the gentle breeze brings a hint of coolness.

Qin Suling and Jinxiu were wandering aimlessly on the street, and before they knew it, they arrived at the gate of Huaiyang Palace.

Qin Suling looked up at the solemn and majestic plaque of the Huaiyang Palace, and an inexplicable sense of intimacy surged in his heart.

Yes, she had spent more time in Huaiyang Palace than in Qin Mansion since she was a child, and this place had long become her second home.

"Miss Qin!"

The doorman shouted in surprise when he saw Qin Suling standing in front of the door.

Qin Suling came back to her senses, lifted her skirt, stepped onto the steps, and said with a faint smile: "Is the princess here?"

"The princess is here, Miss Qin can go find her directly."

The doorman nodded and answered with a simple smile.

Qin Suling smiled and thanked her. Just as she was about to go in, she saw a thin but energetic middle-aged man coming out of the mansion with a smile on his face: "Miss Qin!"

Qin Suling recognized that this was Li, the steward of the Huaiyang Palace, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Uncle Li."

Butler Li returned the greeting with a bow and asked with a smile, "Miss Qin, how come you have time to come here today?"

Qin Suling was delighted when he saw Uncle Li, and said, "I'll go see the princess."

Having said that, he was about to follow Butler Li into the mansion.

The morning light filled the bluestone paths of the palace.

The prince and princess had left the house early, and there was a sense of peace in the quietness of the house.

Butler Li stood by the gate of the mansion, looking at Qin Suling in the distance, his smile full of kindness and emotion.

The child he watched grow up has now grown into a graceful and elegant young girl, so charming and beautiful that one can't help but sigh that time flies and that he has entered old age.

Qin Suling was wearing a light green dress, like tender buds in spring, fresh and refined.

A charming smile appeared on her lips, and she took Jinxiu beside her and walked lightly towards Princess Huaiyang's courtyard.

Along the way, she would lower her head from time to time and whisper with Jinxiu, and their laughter flowed like clear springs.

When Qin Suling arrived at Princess Huaiyang's courtyard, he did not ask the maid to pass on the message, but walked straight in.

The courtyard was shaded by green trees and filled with the fragrance of flowers. In the small pavilion, Princess Huaiyang Ruan Mei was having a leisurely meal.

She was wearing a goose yellow dress with a few elegant chrysanthemums in her hair. Her almond-shaped eyes were bright as stars, revealing a bit of playfulness and intelligence.

When Ruan Mei heard the sound, she looked up towards the courtyard gate and saw Qin Suling walking towards her quickly, pulling Jinxiu with a wronged look on her face. Her heart couldn't help but tighten.

She quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, walked forward, pulled Qin Suling to sit down, and asked with concern: "Su Ling, what's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell this princess quickly, I will avenge you."

Qin Suling chuckled when she heard that, blinking her big, lively eyes, and said pitifully, "I'm hungry and want to eat."

The maid beside Ruan Mei heard this, smiled softly with her hands covering her lips, and hurriedly asked the maid in the yard to prepare an extra set of bowls and chopsticks.

Ruan Mei looked at Qin Suling's aggrieved look and felt both amused and distressed.

While the maid was preparing the dishes, she poured a glass of water for Qin Suling and said softly, "Drink some water first, the food will be here soon."

Qin Suling took the teacup, took a sip of water, and lay listlessly on Ruan Mei's shoulder, as if she wanted to pour out all her grievances.

Ruan Mei raised her hand and gently stroked Qin Suling's smooth cheek, her heart full of envy.

They grew up together and used the same things, but Qin Suling's skin was smoother than hers and felt like satin.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.

After the maid had set the table, Qin Suling sat up from Ruan Mei's shoulder, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Seeing this, Ruan Mei hurriedly scooped her a bowl of her favorite Pearl Jade White Jade Soup and picked up a few pieces of her favorite drunken pork ribs.

The two of them chatted and laughed while eating, talking about the latest gossip in the capital.

Ruan Mei asked cautiously, "Su Ling, I heard from my father that you are going to marry General Qi from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion soon? Is this the reason you are unhappy?"

Qin Suling heard this, nodded gently, and said: "Yes, Qin Suyu was unhappy about this, so I came out."

Ruan Mei couldn't help but feel sorry for Qin Suling when she heard this: "We don't like them. Our Su Ling is so beautiful."

Qin Suling smiled and nodded frantically, and the two smiled at each other, as if all their troubles had disappeared.

Ruan Mei picked up another piece of drunken pork ribs for Qin Suling and muttered, "Eat more meat. Why are you getting thinner and thinner? If mother sees you, she will ask you to eat with her every meal and supervise you to eat meat."

Qin Suling bit the ribs, glared at her, and said confidently: "How have you lost weight? You have bad eyesight recently."

Ruan Mei also glared at her when she heard that. The two of them stared at each other, and finally burst out laughing at the same time.

The maids serving nearby couldn't help but smile softly when they saw this.

The whole yard was filled with laughter.
