The Regent's little cutie is four and a half years old

Chapter 544 Cousin? (plus more)

Who would have thought that Xie Yan'er was really the princess, and her travels were too low-key, so she brought a maid by her side.

In fact, she didn't just bring Yu'er out alone, but she was hungry and wanted to come to Xi Le Zhai to eat something, and all the servants who came out went shopping.

Unexpectedly, I met Shen Yue.

She didn't look at the almanac when she went out today, it was really unlucky.

Shen Yue has been escorted away by the people brought by Lu Xin, still shouting for mercy.

Lu Dao said, "You don't need to be polite, this is what your subordinates should do. Just now I saw that the lady was shocked, why don't you go upstairs and sit down, my lady is upstairs."

"what?"

Xie Yan'er looked up to the direction of the second floor, and saw Gu Qingning who was waving to them.

It was just when I was going out that I met her, she was actually the young lady of the palace.

Looking at Gu Qingning's appearance, she is only seven or eight years old. I didn't expect my cousin's daughter to be so old.

Come to think of it, she has been away from Beijing for eight years.

However, she had never heard that Ye Huaichu married the princess.

Was it born by a concubine in the house?
The royal family does not have to abide by those marriage contracts. When the emperor reaches the age of 12, he can add people to the harem, and the same is true for princes and princes.

Xie Yan'er nodded slightly at her, and followed Lu Xin upstairs.

Gu Qingning was waiting for her at the door, having witnessed the whole process upstairs just now.

Originally, she wanted to save her from the beginning, but when she saw Lu Xin gesturing to her not to come out, she didn't make a sound.

"The princess is well." Gu Qingning saluted Xie Yan'er.

"Hurry up and forgive me." Xie Yan'er helped her up, and entered the private room with her.

The two sat facing each other, looking at each other, it was Xie Yan'er who spoke first, "It can be seen that cousin treats you very well."

Lu Xin is Ye Huaichu's most capable assistant, being sent beside Gu Qingning is enough to prove how important she is to Ye Huaichu.

When he saw her outside just now, Xie Yan'er felt that she was a good match for his eyes.

"Cousin?" Gu Qingning asked suspiciously.

Ye Huaichu actually has a cousin, why hasn't anyone heard of it?
Xie Yan'er explained: "I went to the fief with my parents when I was eight years old, and I only came back in the past few days, so many people have no impression of me. My mother is the cousin of the former princess, so I have to call the prince cousin."

"So this is ah."

Gu Qingning looked at her fifteen or sixteen years old, so she should have reached her age.

She had been in fiefdom before, so she must have something important to do when she returns to Beijing.

And Ye Huaichu is also nineteen this year, they are about the same age, and they are cousins, could it be...

Thinking of this, Gu Qingning lowered her eyes, looking depressed.

Seeing this, Xie Yan'er hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm fine, it's getting late now, I should go back, so I'll take my leave first." Gu Qingning didn't want to stay any longer, so she got up and asked Qi Qi to pack pastries and prepare to go back home.

Xie Yan'er also stood up, confused.

It was fine just now, could it be that she said something wrong?
"Wait a minute, I don't have any preparations for the first meeting. This is my favorite hairpin. I'll give it to you as a gift." Xie Yaner took a hairpin from her head and inserted it into Gu Qingning's hairpin. between hair.

"By the way, I don't know your name yet."

Gu Qingning said: "The princess can just call me Ning'er, thank you for the hairpin, and leave."

"The princess, this subordinate also bid farewell, please be careful on the way back, and send someone to the palace to inform you if anything happens."
