"Xiaocao, are you sure you heard it right?Is it really the Seventh Prince who invited our family to the palace as guests?" Zhao Qingzao thought about it, but still felt that things were too strange, so he lowered his head again and asked Xiaocao.

"Mother, how could I have misheard such an important matter? Moreover, it was the Seventh Prince who personally came to the academy to tell me. Xiaocao puffed out his face and said to Zhao Qingzao with a serious face, he thought that Zhao Qingzao didn't believe it, so he was a little angry.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao smiled helplessly and shook his head, then touched Xiaocao's head and said, "Xiaocao, how could my mother not believe you?

Xiaocao was still a little angry, because Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting didn't believe him, and suspected that he had heard it wrong, but after being appeased by Zhao Qingzao, Xiaocao quickly lost her anger, and immediately said with a smile: "The Seventh Prince said that as long as his mother and father have time, they can go to the palace as guests, and he will wait for our family of three in the palace." ”

The Seventh Prince suddenly came to invite their family of three to the palace as guests, even if they were still waiting for them in the palace at any time? Not only Zhao Qingzao, but even Shen Changting felt that the Seventh Prince was too enthusiastic, after all, they had no friendship with the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Prince would not do this for no reason, right?

"Qing Zao, could it be that the little prince said something in front of the Seventh Prince, so the Seventh Prince suddenly invited us to the palace as guests?" Shen Changting thought about it, but still couldn't figure out what was going on, so he turned his head and asked Zhao Qingzao.

Zhao Qingzao herself was puzzled, so she didn't know how to answer Shen Changting's question, plus Xiaocao was still looking at them, so Zhao Qingzao sighed, and then said: "No matter what purpose the Seventh Prince invited us to the palace as a guest, we can't offend him, so let's take Xiaocao to the palace tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, Shen Changting nodded, since Zhao Qingzao said so, of course he would not have an opinion, unlike Shen Changting, although Zhao Qingzao didn't say anything on the surface, but in his heart he was wondering what the Seventh Prince wanted to do, whether Chi Feng came to let him do it, and whether it would be dangerous for their family of three to go to the palace as guests?

The more he thought about it, the more troubled Zhao Qingzao became, so after returning to the house, Zhao Qingzao simply didn't think about anything, so he went to the yard to play with Xiaocao, Shen Changting was sitting by the window reading a book, and when he heard the laughter from the yard, Shen Changting would put down the books in his hand, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Qingzao and Xiaocao who were playing in the yard, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.

With so many things happening today, Shen Changting felt more and more that he could have Zhao Qingzao and Xiaocao, and he was really the luckiest person in the world.

"Young lady, Master Han and Miss Gu are here. At this moment, Xiaoyu suddenly said to Zhao Qingzao.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao, who was playing with Xiaocao, was stunned, and after reacting, he patted the dust on Xiaocao's clothes, and then said, "Xiaocao, you go back to the house to read first." ”

Xiaocao happened to be tired of playing, so she didn't pester Zhao Qingzao, let her continue to play with her, and after answering, Xiaocao jumped back to the house.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao asked Xiaoyu to prepare tea and pastries, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Han Guang and Gu Xiaolian appear at the same time.

Zhao Qingzao hadn't seen the two of them for a long time, and it just so happened that a lot of things had happened today, and Zhao Qingzao also had something to discuss with the two of them, so he asked Han Guang and Gu Xiaolian to sit down and talk again.

"Master, you seem to have something to say to the two of us?" Han Guang knew Zhao Qingzao very well, but when he saw Zhao Qingzao's expression, he guessed that Zhao Qingzao had something to say.

Hearing Han Guang ask, Zhao Qingzao did not deny it, and after nodding, he told Han Guang and Gu Xiaolian everything that happened in Chi Mansion today.

"Sister Qingzao, the two of us came to see you just for the matter of Chi Mansion, I heard that the emperor plans to cut off Master Chi's head. Gu Xiaolian looked around, and after making sure that there were no outsiders, she whispered to Zhao Qingzao.

Zhao Qingzao couldn't help frowning, although Master Chi colluded with the government, did a lot of bad things, and took the opportunity to earn a lot of silver, but he didn't commit a capital crime, besides, Master Chi still has something to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if the emperor thinks about Shen Kaiyuan's face, he will not cut off Master Chi's head, so that Shen Kaiyuan can't raise his head.

"Xiaolian, are you sure that the emperor is really going to cut off Master Chi's head, isn't it nonsense that you are adding fuel to the vinegar?" Zhao Qingzao still felt that it was impossible, so he asked Gu Xiaolian again.

Because Gu Xiaolian has always liked to exaggerate a thing and say something that she doesn't have, Zhao Qingzao will suspect that what she said is not the truth, and intends to ask it in person.

As soon as the words fell, Gu Xiaolian immediately said with a look of grievance: "Sister Qingzao, how can you say that, when did I add oil and vinegar?"

Gu Xiaolian originally wanted to defend herself, but as soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Qingzao and Han Guang looked at her in unison, making Gu Xiaolian embarrassed to look into their eyes, and after a while, Gu Xiaolian said angrily: " I admit that I did add oil and vinegar before, but this time I am telling the truth, Sister Qingzao, I still know the severity of the matter, how could I joke with you about this matter, you also know that Zuiyue Lou is often patronized by dignitaries, so many things we Zuiyue Lou is the fastest to know. ”

It seems that Gu Xiaolian is telling the truth, the emperor really planned to cut off Master Chi's head, originally Zhao Qingzao thought that the emperor just wanted Master Chi to be locked up, but he didn't expect the emperor to want to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, after all, after cutting off the head of Master Chi, whoever wants to collude with the government in the future will have to weigh it.

"Master, Master Chi is now in prison, if the emperor really wants to cut off his head, it is estimated that he will make a holy decree tomorrow. Han Guang then said to Zhao Qingzao.

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed in Zhao Qingzao's mind, before she was thinking about when Chi Fenglai would secretly meet with the Seventh Prince, and now she knew that the emperor was planning to cut off Master Chi's head, which was a great opportunity for Zhao Qingzao.

"The Seventh Prince invited our family of three to the palace as guests. Zhao Qingzao suddenly said to Han Guang and Gu Xiaolian.

Fang Cai was still talking about Master Chi being beheaded, but inexplicably he talked about the fact that the Seventh Prince invited Zhao Qingzao's family of three to the palace as guests, Han Guang and Gu Xiaolian were confused, and they didn't understand why Zhao Qingzao suddenly mentioned this matter.

"Master, what do you want to say, is going to the palace to be a guest have anything to do with Master Chi's beheading?" Han Guang looked at Zhao Qingzao with a puzzled expression, and then asked.

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Qingzao whispered the matter of the Seventh Prince and Chi Fenglai, and after Han Guang and Gu Xiaolian found out, both of them were very surprised, first let out an exclamation, and then hurriedly covered their mouths, but it would attract the attention of others.

"Sister Qingzao, are you telling the truth?The Seventh Princess is the queen's sister, how dare the Seventh Prince ......" Gu Xiaolian hurriedly asked Zhao Qingzao, but she didn't expect that in the middle of the conversation, Xiaoyu appeared with tea and pastries, so frightened that Gu Xiaolian hurriedly covered her mouth, not daring to say anything more.

After Xiaoyu put the tea and pastries on the table, she retreated, and after Xiaoyu walked away, Gu Xiaolian continued: "If the Seventh Prince and Chi Fenglai are really good, the Seventh Princess will definitely not let Chi Fenglai go, the Seventh Princess has been pampered since she was a child, and the current queen is her sister, how can she let herself be wronged? But if the matter is really big, the Prime Minister's Mansion will not have a good life." ”

"Master, I think what Xiaolian said is right, you better think carefully, if it involves the Prime Minister's Mansion, your life will not be easy, and you may cause a lot of trouble. Han Guang frowned, and after nodding, he also agreed with Gu Xiaolian's opinion.

Han Guang and Gu Xiaolian both thought of it, how could Zhao Qingzao not think of it? She had already thought about these things, but she had already promised the Seventh Princess that she would definitely find out who the Seventh Prince's friend was, if she couldn't find out anything, the Seventh Princess would probably hate her, and Zhao Qingzao was now in a dilemma.

"Although the Seventh Princess is irritable, she is not an unreasonable person, so I will make it clear to her when the time comes, and I will not implicate the Prime Minister's Mansion, you can rest assured. Although Zhao Qingzao didn't know the bottom in his heart, he still said to Han Guang and Gu Xiaolian.

Hearing Zhao Qingzao say this, Han Guang and Gu Xiaolian were still worried, after all, everyone knew that the Seventh Princess was not easy to mess with, and she was noble and the queen's sister, so if she really made the Seventh Princess unhappy, it would not be like before, and she might even cause trouble.

"Master, aren't you going to the palace tomorrow? When the time comes, you can find another opportunity to talk to the Seventh Princess alone, I believe that she is a reasonable person and will not be involved in the Prime Minister's Mansion casually. After thinking for a while, Han Guang said to Zhao Qingzao.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao nodded, but did not speak, because she had been thinking about things in her heart, and after thinking clearly, Zhao Qingzao said: "Han Guang, Xiaolian, you can find a way to spread the news that Master Chi is going to be beheaded to Chi Fenglai's ears." ”

"Sister Qingzao, what do you want to do? If Chi Fenglai knew about this, maybe he would go to the Seventh Prince for help, do you want to ......" After Gu Xiaolian reacted, she hurriedly said.

"That's right, I just want Chi Feng to know, and then go to the Seventh Prince for help, I just want to make sure that she and the Seventh Prince are on good terms, if I guess correctly, I can go to the palace to have a good talk with the Seventh Princess when the time comes." Zhao Qingzao nodded, and then said.

Since Zhao Qingzao has decided so, of course Han Guang and Gu Xiaolian will do what Zhao Qingzao said, after all, they have known Zhao Qingzao for so long, and Zhao Qingzao rarely makes wrong decisions, so they still trust Zhao Qingzao very much.

"Master, we will definitely let Chi Fenglai know about this, you can rest assured. Han Guang said directly to Zhao Qingzao.

Gu Xiaolian took a piece of pastry in her hand, but as soon as she put it in her mouth, she frowned.
