After Zhao Jin left, the entire palace felt much empty, and the group of women in the backyard had already stopped.

Since that happened at the full moon banquet a few days ago, although Steward Liu didn't allow anyone to talk about it, everyone who should know knew knew it, after all, Xu Jingshu was beaten in front of everyone on the second day, and it was impossible to pretend that she didn't see it.

Yan Qiu is now concentrating on raising a group, looking at the script every day, and the day passed leisurely.

During this period, she also received posts from the female dependents of Jingzhou officials, but they were nothing more than some lotus banquets, and she felt bored after going twice, so she simply said that she was sick and couldn't go out, so she pushed all the posts.

It is said that the newborn child has grown up, and when Zhao Changyu was a little pot friend for two months, he had already grown a lot of fat in vain. Oh! Forget about it, Zhao Changyu's little pot friend also has a nickname called A Bai, Zhao Jinping Sudou doesn't call it that, and has been called by Yu'er Yu'er, that is, Yan Qiu will call A Bai on weekdays.

Don't say that Zhao Jin doesn't like Ah Bai, Yan Qiu has received several letters from Zhao Jin these days, and each one will ask about Ah Bai, although ...... It's to ask Ah Bai if he is making trouble.

Although it was a trivial matter, the two of them were very happy.

In the afternoon of this day, the heat subsided, and Yan Qiu asked the nurse to take Abai and go to the garden together.

Looking at the scenery along the road, Yan Qiu couldn't help but sigh that time passed so quickly, and she still clearly remembered that when she entered the palace at the beginning of the year, she met His Royal Highness on this trail. This year, the lotus flowers here are still blooming amazingly, and she is doing better than expected.

"Oh...... Oh...... Oh! Ah Bai stretched out his little hand in the nurse's arms, trying to stuff it into his mouth.

Yan Qiu smiled as soon as she turned around, she nodded Ah Bai's nose, and said helplessly: "You little glutton." As he spoke, he took it from the nurse's arms.

Such a young child can already recognize people, and when he arrives in Yan Qiu's arms, Ah Bai's mouth is even happier.

Yan Qiu had no choice but to wipe his saliva with a handkerchief.

The group watched Ah Bai quietly watching, and suddenly there was a commotion.

"Miss Qin, don't embarrass the old slave." Faintly coming to this side, it was the voice of Steward Liu in a trance.

"Master, why don't you go and see what's going on?" Cai Ge whispered.

"No need, Steward Liu has a reason to do things, we don't have to interfere." Yan Qiu didn't raise his head at all, and coaxed Ah Bai wholeheartedly, his voice faint.

“…… Be. Cai Ge lowered his head, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the noise was getting closer and closer, and a woman suddenly ran out of the path, followed by Steward Liu and several sturdy servants.

The woman was about to run in the direction of the outer courtyard, but when she suddenly saw Yan Qiu standing on the bridge, her eyes lit up, and she stumbled towards this side, shouting in her mouth: "Concubine Yan, please don't drive us away!" ”

Yan Qiu was stunned when he heard this, and asked softly, "What's the matter?" ”

Cai Wei shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

Seeing the woman rushing over here, several maidservants next to Yan Qiu hurriedly stopped her and didn't let her get close to Yan Qiu.

The woman was stopped outside and begged: "Concubine Niangniang, please don't let Steward Liu drive me away, if I am kicked out, there is only one way to die." Her face was full of tears, her hair was disheveled, and she had obviously struggled.

Yan Qiu handed Ah Bai to the nurse and asked the nurse to go to the back, and then asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing that Yan Qiu had the intention of interfering in this matter, the woman's face suddenly became happy, and she was about to speak: "Concubine ......"

"I've seen Concubine Yan." As soon as he said two words, he was interrupted by Steward Liu.

Yan Qiu looked at Steward Liu and nodded: "Steward Liu." Then he looked at the few people behind him, with questions in his eyes.

Liu Yong saw that Yan Qiu had the intention of interfering in this matter, and it was not easy to refuse, after all, he also understood that the backyard of the palace could be regarded as Yan Qiu's world, and now His Royal Highness did not accept Concubine Zheng, there were so many women in the backyard, only Concubine Yan Shu was favored by His Royal Highness, and let His Royal Highness send the women in the backyard home for her, even if there is a concubine in the future, Concubine Yan's status is also solid, plus Zhao Jin's instructions before leaving, Steward Liu is very respectful to Yan Qiu: "Concubine doesn't know, the old slave was ordered by His Royal Highness to send the girl from the West Courtyard home." ”

"Repatriation?" Yan Qiu was stunned, he had never mentioned it to himself.

"Exactly." Steward Liu bent down and continued to explain: "Your Highness said that he was busy with government affairs and couldn't bear to snub the girls in the back yard, so he sent them home and married them on his own. ”

The corners of Yan Qiu's mouth twitched, who believes this reason?

"In that case, this girl ......"

"This girl is the seventh girl from Qinzhi County, and she is also being sent home this time."

"Concubine Niangniang, please, don't drive me home. I don't have the slightest thought about His Royal Highness, I just want to have a place in the palace. The Qin girl was crying a lot, and there was no beauty at all, which made Yan Qiu a little embarrassed.

"Miss Qin, you also heard Steward Liu say that sending you home is for you to marry on your own, for your own good, but isn't it embarrassing for my master like this?" Cai Wei helped Yan Qiu and looked sideways at Qin Miaoyun.

"The concubine doesn't know, I'm just a concubine, it turned out that my mother-in-law was going to send me to be a concubine with a wealthy merchant in Lingxian County, and then my father didn't agree, so he sent me to the palace, if I was sent back this time, I would definitely not be able to escape." Qin Miaoyun sobbed.

Yan Qiu frowned when he heard this: "I can't be the master of this matter, it is an order from His Royal Highness." "Obviously, I was disgusted by that Qin Zhixian and her wife.

"Concubine Niangniang, please, that rich merchant is in his fifties this year, and there are many concubines in the family."

"This ......" Yan Qiu was embarrassed. Although this matter must be related to her, but this is Zhao Jin's order, if he is in himself, he can still plead coquettishly, but this is only Steward Liu, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to do.

Seeing a look of embarrassment on Yan Qiu's face, the brilliance in Qin Miaoyun's eyes gradually faded, and his face was full of despair.

Yan Qiu couldn't bear to look at it, giving people hope and despair, really guilty.

"I see, thank you Concubine Niangniang." Qin Miaoyun slowly stood up straight, and said to Steward Liu with a blank face: "Steward Liu, let's go!" ”

Her back is thin, which makes people feel depressed and hopeless.

"Wait a minute!" Yan Qiu finally couldn't bear it: "Steward Liu, can you let Miss Qin stay first." ”

Qin Miaoyun was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Yan Qiu to change her attention.

Yan Qiu smiled at her comfortingly, and then said to Steward Liu: "Your Highness, I'll explain there, don't send Miss Qin out if you bother Steward Liu." ”

Liu Yong was also a little surprised, he didn't know that Concubine Yan Shu was still a kind-hearted person. However, since Concubine Yan opened her mouth, he naturally had to buy this face, and His Royal Highness had also commanded, so he waved his hand to let the servant woman behind him retreat: "It's not a lot of work, Concubine Yan has tormented the old slave." In this case, the old slave retired first, and there were still things to deal with in the West Courtyard. ”

"Thank you, Steward Liu." Yan Qiu didn't expect things to be so easy, Steward Liu gave her face like this, after all, she had seen Steward Liu's methods.

"I don't dare to get the concubine's thanks, this is all within the old slave's business."

She smiled: "Steward Liu, let's get busy!" ”

"Yes." Liu Yong saluted and left with the people.

When they were far away, Yan Qiu withdrew his gaze and prepared to leave.

"Thank you concubine, concubine is very gracious, the little girl has nothing to repay, only the next life to tie the grass ring to repay the kindness." Qin Miaoyun knelt down and thanked him.

"Don't thank me, you can go back to the West Courtyard first! Let's talk about the rest slowly! Yan Qiu nodded at her, and led the maidservants back to Jinyuan, leaving Qin Miaoyun alone.

Back in Jinyuan, Yan Qiu fed Ah Bai and asked the nurse to take Ah Bai to sleep, and then went to the study.

Most of the miscellaneous notes in this study are hers, but there are also some things about Zhao Jin's government affairs, in short, the things of the two people in the small Jinyuan have long been mixed together.

happened to be in time for the day when she wrote a letter to Zhao Jin, first told her about the recent situation with Ah Bai, and then talked about what happened in the house, and finally told Zhao Jin what she did today, and asked him what his opinion was.

After writing these things, she smiled sweetly, thought about it, and put the palm print that Ah Bai had stamped on the paper the day before yesterday into the envelope, sealed it, and called Cai Wei to let Cai Wei send it to Steward Liu.

She helped Qin Miaoyun just because she had some sympathy, after all, both of them had the same experience, but she was luckier than her and met Zhao Jin. For this point of sympathy, it is nothing for her to lend a hand.

It is impossible for Qin Miaoyun to stay in the palace all the time, after all, Yan Qiu thinks that he is not a generous person, and he will mind. So now there is no good way to do it for the time being, so I can only put it on first and slowly sum it up with her.

Yan Qiu thinks that she is not a good person, but she is not a person who will not be saved when she sees death, as long as it is not a matter of principle, she is still willing to help.
