Her hair was cloud-like and beautiful! She opened her eyes and found herself back in the third year

Chapter 248 The princess wants to be a lobbyist, do you want to be one too?

"But how should we manage it? Are we supposed to find out who said those things, send someone to their door to beat them up and shut them up?"

Hitting someone is certainly wrong, but if this continues, it will also be detrimental to the woman's situation. This trend should not be allowed to continue.

But if we are to manage it, how should we manage it?

As night deepened and everyone took their leave, Qin Yizhen returned to Chunxie Courtyard, washed up, and sat on the couch by the window drying her hair, still pondering this question.

"Does Your Highness want to go to sleep first?" Green Qiao had been running around all day and was also a little sleepy. Even fanning her was making her eyelids tired.

"Hasn't the guests left yet?"

"Not yet. I heard that the kitchen has sent more food and the storeroom has been opened to get wine. I don't know how long they'll be drinking. They might have a long talk until dawn. Is the princess going to send someone to call the Marquis back?"

“No need for that.” Qin Yizhen immediately shook her head. “He’s unusually happy, so let him be happy for a while longer.”

Despite Cheng Yan's usual serious and aloof demeanor, he is actually very soft-hearted and values ​​relationships deeply.

He kept telling her that he was not in this position as great as people thought, that he had selfish motives, because by protecting Dong Qin, his relatives could remain in high positions forever and not be bullied.

But he has always been responsible for his soldiers. In fact, most of the income of the Marquis of Pingxi’s mansion in recent years has been used to subsidize the casualties of his brothers. This was true in the past and it will be true in the future.

Everyone has come to the Marquis of Pingxi's residence today. Although he doesn't say it, he is actually very happy.

"Have the kitchen prepare some hangover soup. We'll send it to everyone after we disperse to help them so they won't be unable to get up tomorrow. You should go back and rest too. I'll sit for a while longer before I rest as well."

"And what about the Marquis...?"

"Just tell them to leave some hot water on the stove, and have two maids who can carry water on duty." Qin Yizhen paused here, "By the way, where's Hongying? Did she go back or is she staying at the guest house?"

"She's settled in the guest house. She even called her maid to stay with her tonight and have a couple of drinks with her."

"She hasn't had enough to drink yet," Qin Yizhen laughed. "Then you should go quickly. You and your sister probably haven't had a proper chat in a long time."

"Thank you, Princess. Then this servant will be leaving now."

Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao returned to her courtyard, took a bath, and then went to a guest room in the outer courtyard to stay with Hong Ying. After drinking two cups of wine, she became somewhat dizzy.

The two sat together under the eaves, watching the moon.

The moon in the sky is round and full, and it's Mid-Autumn Festival again, a time for family reunion.

The two women had no home, but they grew up together since childhood and were practically like sisters.

"What are your thoughts?" Green Flap asked Red Tassel.

"what?"

"Oh, Songnian." Lüqiao hiccuped. "I think Songnian is really good, someone I could marry. Don't you feel lonely running around outside all day?"

Hongying took a sip of wine and smiled, "I'm not lonely, I'm too busy with other things to think about. He's really a good guy."

If she really does get married, she would certainly be a good choice.

The two came from similar backgrounds and didn't even share a surname. Neither of them looked down on the other. One was a young general who had just made some achievements, and the other was a princess's confidant. They were a good match.

Although Song Nian is sometimes playful and talkative, and has a habit of reading storybooks, these are not really bad habits, and his character is impeccable.

The main reason is that he genuinely loves Hongying and is using his savings accumulated over many years to marry her.

This is very rare.

"Then what are you worried about?"

"The princess wants to be a persuader, and you want to be one too?"

“Princess and I are both doing this for your own good.” Green Qiao had drunk some wine and became bolder, so she glared at her. “You usually have a lot of reason and are very capable, and you say that I am stupid and don’t understand anything, but I haven’t seen you be any more decisive in this matter.”

“You know perfectly well that Songnian has feelings for you. If you really didn’t hesitate at all, you would have chased him away long ago when he came to drink with you.”

I neither refused nor agreed, but I left them a chance.

"The princess and the marquis have been fighting for years before they finally reconciled. Do you also want to drag things out like this, waiting until you've thought things through before making a decision?"

Hongying was speechless, and reached up to furrow her brow. For a moment, she couldn't find a way to refute it.

"You've really made something of yourself."

"That's right. I'm the princess's head maid. If I weren't capable, how could I hold onto this position?"

Hongying thought to herself, "It's all because the princess favors you."

"Actually, people like us are not allowed to marry. The princess is kind and only wants to make us happy, but I have concerns. Right now, I am loyal to the princess, but if I marry and have children, it's hard to say what will happen."

"Everyone has selfish desires. I will plan for my family, my husband, and my children."

They grew up by Qin Yizhen's side and knew too many of her secrets. Now, she is the one who manages most of Qin Yizhen's dowry.

Their lives didn't start well. They were separated from their families during wartime or sold off early by their families. After entering the palace and serving the princess, their lives became smooth.

Not to mention that they were taught from childhood to be loyal to their masters and to be willing to die for them, just thinking about how the princess treated them with great kindness, and how they were spared from a life of wandering and being bullied because of the princess, and thus had no worries about food and clothing.

Being a slave or servant to someone, not being a free person, is certainly not a good thing.

If they encounter a master who treats them well and cares for them, any woman with a conscience would not want to betray them or give herself that opportunity.

Hongying values ​​loyalty above all else, and she doesn't want to be biased or become an ungrateful person.

Lü Qiao wasn't too stupid. Hearing her say that, she naturally understood her concerns, so she said, "Are you stupid? As long as your heart doesn't change, that's fine."

“How can a person stay the same forever?” Hongying shook her head with a smile. “Once your identity changes, everything can change.”

"Come on, stop thinking about these things. Let's just let things take their course. I've got a lot of good wine today. Have a couple more drinks with me. On this Mid-Autumn Festival, let's toast the bright moon."

The two sat on the veranda, drinking and talking, and before they knew it, it was already midnight.

Seeing that Lü Qiao was already drunk and slumped on the table, Hong Ying shook her head helplessly and had no choice but to help her back to her room to rest.

Inside the guest house, Cheng Yan and the others prepared to leave.

After instructing Steward Zhou to arrange for someone to help the drunk man into the house to rest, and to tidy up the courtyard, Cheng Yan drank a bowl of hangover soup sent from the kitchen before returning to the inner courtyard.

The full moon shone brightly, and a cool night breeze blew as he walked along the cobblestone path, the wind blowing as he went...
