If you want to see Qiuhou, you naturally have to leave the spiritual realm.

However, even Qiuhou's power can only allow him to leave the spiritual realm for a maximum of two hours, and he will be accompanied by the eunuchs in the palace during the whole process of leaving, which is really very restrictive.

Therefore, if Dongfang Shuo wants to go to Yuwei City, there is only one way to make meritorious contributions.

Fortunately, the Qiu family's mansion was not far from the palace, and it was only a quarter of an hour after leaving the palace that they had already arrived outside the Qiu Mansion.

But when Dongfang Shuo and Qiu Yebai got out of the carriage, they only saw the closed gate of Qiufu, and no one came out to greet them.

After waiting for a while, Dongfang Shuo looked at Autumn Leaf Bai.

Akiba Bai sighed and said, "Wait a little longer." ”

As soon as the words fell, she took out two candies, stuffed one into her mouth, and handed the other one to Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo took the candy and sent it directly into his mouth without warning.

The candy was overflowing with sweetness, and at the same time, a refreshing feeling also swept through the body, which made Dongfang Shuo's originally chaotic mood initially stabilized.

But even so, he was still a little apprehensive.

However, this mood was not shown on his face.

"Are you upset?"

But even so, Akiba Bai seemed to see through his thoughts.

Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment, then asked, "How do you see it?"

"Intuition. ”

Autumn leaves white road.

Such an answer made Dongfang Shuo sigh that a woman's intuition is really a terrible thing.

Then, he nodded and said, "yes." ”

Autumn Leaf White leaned a little closer to him, until the delicate fragrance on his body touched the tip of Dongfang Shuo's nose.

She whispered: "Our relationship is fake, you don't need to be afraid of my mother at all." ”

This is true.

But Dongfang Shuo rolled his eyes and said in the same low voice: "Having said that, the fake mother-in-law is also a mother-in-law, uh...... The psychological pressure of the fake son-in-law is also very high. ”

"In short, no matter what my mother asks you, you can answer honestly. Akiba Bai said, "But the rest, you don't have to ask too much, understand?"

Dongfang Shuo pondered for a while, and finally nodded.

Then, he looked at the closed door and licked his dry lips.

I don't know how long it took, the door finally opened, and two rows of expressionless families walked out of the house, separated from the two ends of the gate, as if they had come out to greet Dongfang Shuo.

After the family stood still, a middle-aged maid dressed plainly with a bit of luxury stepped out of the mansion.

When she walked in front of the two, she first bowed her head to Qiu Yebai and saluted slightly, and then after glancing at Dongfang Shuo, she said, "Master Hou has been waiting for a long time, please come with me." ”

As soon as the words fell, she turned around and walked towards the mansion again.

Looking at the middle-aged maid who looked solemn throughout the whole process, and the family members on both sides who were obviously welcoming but had a cold face, Dongfang Shuo's anxiety became a little stronger.

At this time, after seeing Akiba Bai set off to follow, he immediately took a step.

Immediately, the eunuch who accompanied him also followed at the end from a distance of five or six zhang from Dongfang Shuo.

Qiu Mansion is very large, but the road is not too complicated, and after passing through a few corridors, Dongfang Shuo and Qiu Ye Bai were quickly taken to the meeting place of the Qiu family.

Standing outside the house and looking at the mansion, under the heavy and finely carved eaves, the whole mansion is also full of bookish charm in the atmosphere and luxury, and its brick and stone as the base wood as the body, all kinds of decorations and carvings are also the beauty of the house construction is vividly reflected.

"Master Hou, the eldest lady and Dongfang Gongzi have arrived. The maidservant stopped in front of the house and reported to the house.

Soon, a mature woman's voice came from inside the house: "Let them in." ”

So the maidservant set out to make way for the two.

Dongfang Shuo looked at Qiu Ye Bai, and after Qiu Ye Bai signaled with his eyes, the two of them walked up the stairs in front of the house together.

As the two approached the door, the door opened inward.

It's not a mechanism, but two maids in the house pulling the door.

As soon as the door of the house opened, the scene inside the house immediately came into Dongfang Shuo's eyes.

In the palatial and exquisite interior, a graceful and elegant woman is sitting on a high seat, drinking tea from a teacup. There is a maid on each side of the room gently shaking the fan, and in other parts of the house, there are several maids performing their duties, incense and tea, but without exception, all the movements are subtle and make the house very quiet.

Under the reminder of Autumn Leaf Bai, Dongfang Shuo walked into the house with her.

"Mother. ”

Walking to the middle of the hall, Autumn Leaf White lowered his head.

Seeing this, Dongfang Shuo also pretended to bow his head and said, "Qiuhou." ”

"For more than a month, I have only learned about your appearance and character in Bai'er's letters, and she has praised you a lot of good things. I thought it was Bai'er who was famous because he liked it, but when I saw it today, I realized that what those letters said was not false at all. Qiuhou said.

Dongfang Shuo was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "Qiuhou praises." ”

However, he didn't expect that Qiu Yebai would praise Dongfang Shuo in his letters.

But if you think about it carefully, this can be regarded as saving face for herself, and no woman wants her sweetheart to be a mediocre person.

"Sit down. ”

Qiu Hou smiled, then raised his hand and pointed to the location.

Dongfang Shuo nodded, and after glancing at Autumn Leaf Bai, the two sat down on the side together.

At this time, after sitting down, Dongfang Shuo leaned a little towards Qiu Yebai, and said in a low voice: "You said that your mother is strange, I don't think it's strange at all, and it looks very generous, after all, I was so late, but she wasn't angry at all." ”

As soon as Akiba Bai heard this, he sighed lightly and said in a low voice, "You will understand in a while." ”

Dongfang Shuo, who was puzzled, sat up straight and looked at Qiuhou again.

At this time, the maid on the side had already brought the two of them freshly brewed tea.

"Dongfang Gongzi, I heard that you just lost three people in a row in the alliance battle a few days ago, and those three people are all Tianjiao of the Guihai Empire. With such martial bravery, among the younger generation of my empire, except for Lu Yanzhang, the son of the Lu family, I am afraid that there will be no second person. Qiuhou said.

Dongfang Shuo smiled: "It's just a fluke." ”

At this time, Autumn Leaf Bai picked up the teacup and brought it to his mouth, and while drinking tea, he peeked at the two people who were talking with his afterglow.

Immediately, Qiu Hou also smiled: "Modest." After that day, His Royal Highness the Sixth praised your extraordinary talent in the court, and also said that after you defeated the three Tianjiao who returned to the sea in a row that day, you can still calm down. You are the first to be praised by the Six Princes like this. ”

"It's the six princes who love it, and I'm terrified. ”

Dongfang Shuo smiled again.

Akiba Bai didn't drink tea at this time, but the teacup was still in his mouth, and he blew slightly in his mouth, blowing ripples in the cup.

Qiuhou nodded, and said, "However, I heard that you are from Yuwei City?"

"Yes. Dongfang Shuo nodded.

"If I remember correctly, it's a border city, right?"

"Yes. ”

"And what does your dad do?"

"Fish sellers. ”

It's the right answer.

At this time, Qiuhou nodded.

But I don't know when it started, the smile on her face has gradually faded.

"Oh, I see. She nodded, then waved her hand.

A maid immediately set off and came to Dongfang Shuo with a ring.

Looking at Na Jie, Dongfang Shuo was puzzled for a while, and also looked at the autumn leaves next to him who were still blowing water.

At this moment, the look on her face was like watching a play, as if it was none of her business.

"I'll give you five million spirit crystals, and you leave my daughter. Just as the scene was quiet again, Qiuhou, who had been silent for a moment, suddenly spoke, tearing the peace.
