In the evening, Wen Yue came in a hurry, and Qiu Shui Man couldn't help frowning when he saw Wen Yue so panicked: "What happened?" Why the panic? ”

Wen Yue sighed: "Tomorrow is the third competition, but I just learned that Mu Lan's piano skills are very mediocre, and he can't win at all." ”

Qiushui was silent, this game represents the emperor after all, they have done too much, and they can't ignore it at all.

"If that Mu Lan is eliminated, all our efforts will come to naught, I will never see this kind of thing happen, but now, I don't know what to do." Wen Yue frowned, with helplessness in her tone.

"It's not here yet." Qiushui pondered and said comfortingly.

"Do you have a way?" Wen Yue looked at Qiu Shuiman expectantly.

"Absolutely." Qiu Shuiman nodded confidently.

Wen Yue's heart was overjoyed, and the heart that she was holding tightly finally fell back into place.

On the second day, when the competition was held, Wen Yue knew what Qiushuiman's so-called method was.

All the beauties were present, and one person was particularly conspicuous, not because of how beautiful he was, but because of his strange costume.

Na Mu Lan, a flawless white robe clinging to his body, except for his eyes, was hidden under the white cloth.

Wen Yue glanced at Qiu Shui thoughtfully, couldn't help coughing, and deliberately spoke: "Mu Lan, what kind of dress are you?" ”

Mu Lan lowered her head, and her voice was as pleasant as a yellow bird: "Qi Yu Niangniang, yesterday the slave maid didn't know what she ate, it actually caused allergies, and now her face is covered with red spots, which is very terrifying, and the slave and maid are afraid of frightening everyone, so they wrap themselves up." ”

Wen Yue nodded in satisfaction, curling the corners of her lips.

That's right, the person under the white cloth, where is Mu Lan, it's just a stand-in they are looking for.

But this stand-in is the same as Na Mu Lan's voice, and the height and size are about the same, so it looks like this, isn't it Na Mu Lan?

Everyone frowned, and as soon as one of them wanted to speak, he was led by Wen Yue: "The situation is indeed terrifying, since this is the case, then you can compete like this, anyway, this competition is just to check the piano skills, not the appearance." ”

Mu Lan bowed his head: "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

Qiu Shuiman's eyes were full of smiles, she didn't do this for this game, as far as she knew, let Mu Lan not be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

In this way, women will definitely have bumps in the road to participate in the competition, if they are called allergic, the next competition, and then use this method.

At this time, a eunuch stepped forward and said a few words in Wen Yue's ear, and Wen Yue frowned slightly.

Wen Yue looked back at Qiu Shuiman and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Jiang Hou passed by here with her youngest daughter Jiang Yu and wanted to come and see the excitement. ”

Qiushui nodded slightly, this Jiang Hou made a contribution at the time of the founding of the country, and his descendants continued his merits, and they were called Jiang Hou together.

The so-called high merit covers the master, it will be killed, this Jiang Hou is also a rare transparent person, in the stability of the Zhaoyue Kingdom, he gave the military power, ready to resign and go home, the first emperor thought that this move was inappropriate, and he was afraid of the cold heart of the old minister, so he was named Jiang Hou, and inherited the title from generation to generation.

And this Jiang Hou descendant has always been careful to follow the ancestral teachings, and An Sheng sat on the waiting seat, and he was also very favored by the emperor.

Now, this Mrs. Jiang Hou wants to come and watch, and they naturally can't stop them.

In just a few moments, the eunuch with an old man and a young girl had already appeared in front of them.

A middle-aged woman, with a noble appearance and a beautiful appearance, has a unique charm and deserves to be the head of the house.

And the little woman, who looks like she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, is generous and very beautiful.

"Mrs. Jiang Hou sees the queen mother, and the princess mother side by side." Mrs. Jiang Hou took her youngest daughter Jiang Yu and saluted respectfully.

Wen Yue hooked the corners of her lips, personally helped Mrs. Jiang Hou up, and said with a smile: "Madam, you and I have not seen each other for many days." ”

Mrs. Jiang Hou smiled and nodded: "Since that Japanese Festival, I haven't been to see Niangniang." ”

Wen Yue smiled and looked at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu stood aside, very quiet, lowering her eyebrows, it was obviously the time when her daughter's family was happy, but Wen Yue felt a depressed and gloomy aura in her body.

nodded without a trace at the moment, and said with a smile: "This jade, the appearance is really beautiful." ”

"The mother laughed." Mrs. Jiang Hou is modest, but between her eyebrows and eyes, she can't hide her pride.

Wen Yue looked back at the sky and said, "You guys are just in time for the game, why don't you watch it together?" ”

Mrs. Jiang Hou was naturally willing, and Qiushuiman asked people to add two chairs.

In the next competition, a batch of them will naturally be eliminated, and Na Mu Lan's piano sound is naturally far ahead.

Just as it was about to end, Mrs. Jiang Hou suddenly got up: "Queen Mother, I asked Mrs. Li to have tea together, so I will leave the little girl here first, and I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me." ”

Wen Yue raised her eyebrows, and naturally agreed.

Qiu Shui smiled slightly, this Mrs. Jiang Hou came here on purpose, it seems that she just wants to leave Jiang Yu here, but?

Doesn't this matter reveal a lot of inexplicable atmosphere?

If there is something, you can't let Jiang Yu follow, just let Jiang Yu stay in the Hou Mansion, why bring it out?

What's more, the Venerable Empress Wenyue, if there is nothing helpless, who will come to ask for help?

And Jiang Yu seemed to be very happy about this matter.

This, what's going on?

Wen Yue hooked her lips and smiled: "This palace loves this girl very much, and this palace can't wait for her to stay by this palace's side for a few more days." ”

Jiang Hou thanked him, and instructed Jiang Yu a few more words before leaving with peace of mind.

And that Jiang Yu, after Mrs. Jiang left, actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiu Shuiman and Wen Yue glanced at each other, and the two of them shook their heads with a smile, even if it was unusual, what did it have to do with them?

The results of the next competition, Wen Yue personally announced, and there were forty people promoted in the competition, including Mu Lan.

At this time, it was raining heavily, and looking at the majestic raindrops, I couldn't help frowning.

In spring, it is always rainy.

Now Qiu Shuiman and Wen Yue are okay to say, waiting by the carriage, but this Jiang Yu?

The taciturn Jiang Yu stood aside, looking at the raindrops in the sky, a smile flashed in his dark eyes, and he slowly stretched out his jade hand, looking at the naughty water droplets in the palm of his hand, revealing a smile.

Wouldn't it be great if people could turn into a drop of water and go with the flow, or disappear?

However, this wish will never come true.

"Yu'er? What are you thinking? I don't know when, Qiu Shuiman was already standing beside Jiang Yu, looking at Jiang Yu with a smile.

Jiang Yu was frightened, his face couldn't help but be as pale as paper, and when he saw the autumn water, he immediately lowered his head.

Seeing this, Qiushui couldn't help frowning, was he really so terrible?

Wen Yue looked at the majestic rain, and she wouldn't stop for a while, and just wanted to speak: "Yu'er, I'm afraid your mother is also trapped on the road and can't rush over, why don't you go back to the palace with this palace for a while?" ”

When the words fell, Wen Yue frowned again.

Now that the draft is imminent, if he takes Jiang Yu back to the palace, he is afraid that it will cause misunderstanding.

But nowadays......

Before Jiang Yu could speak, Qiushui smiled and said first: "Queen Mother, I also like Jiang Yu very much, why don't you let Yu'er go back to the house with me and stay for a while?" ”

Wen Yue glanced at Qiu Shuiman gratefully, and couldn't help nodding, and that Jiang Yu finally spoke: "Thank you for being side by side princess." ”

Qiu Shuiman shook his head and said softly, "It's out of the way." ”

When the words fell, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, the silence and loneliness were too surprising, just like the frightened bird.

But as a concubine, she has a noble status, how can she be like this?

Qiu Shuiman couldn't figure this out, so naturally he wouldn't ask.

Qiu Shuiman took Jiang Yu home, and met Xiao Jue head-on, Xiao Jue chuckled lightly and put his eyes on Jiang Yu: "Man'er, who is she?" ”

Qiu Shui Man took Jiang Yu's hand, and just wanted to introduce, but saw Jiang Yu with his head down, his body trembling slightly, and he seemed to be very afraid.

Qiu Shuiman frowned, and couldn't help but ask softly, "Yu'er?" What happened to you? ”

Jiang Yu looked at Qiu Shuiman and hooked the corners of his lips, but the smile was very stiff: "Niangniang? I'm fine, just a little cold. ”

Qiu Shui raised his eyebrows, and when he saw Xiao Xiao, he suddenly became cold?

Qiu Shuiman didn't ask much, and instructed the Qing Pendant on the side: "Qing Fall, go and bring a bowl of ginger soup to Miss." ”

Qing Shen nodded and turned to leave.

"Yu'er, this is the king side by side." Qiu Shuiman introduced: "Lord Wang, this is Miss Jiang Hou. ”

Xiao Jue nodded, and naturally he could see that Jiang Yu was afraid, so he didn't say anything and turned to leave.

After Qiu Shuiman and Jiang Yu dined, Jiang Yu raised his head, looked at Qiu Shuiman, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, princess, I was rude." ”

Qiu Shuiman smiled: "It's okay, the prince won't care about this, in fact, although the prince has a cold face, he is kind, you don't have to be afraid of him." ”

Xiao Jue and Qiu Shuiman's names were like thunder, Jiang Yu naturally knew, and nodded immediately, but the corners of his mouth were still stiff.

Qiushui couldn't help laughing: "If you are so shy, don't be embarrassed to look at it when you choose a husband in the future." ”

Hearing the word husband, Jiang Yu lowered his head, and at that moment, his face was like a pool of stagnant water.

Qiu Shui frowned, the rain outside had stopped, but it was already completely dark.

"Mother's ......" The childish voice, with the laughter of the elf, the footsteps flew from far to near.

Hearing the sound of worry-free, Qiu Shuiman's face was full of smiles, only to see worry-free push open the door and run directly into Qiu Shuiman's arms.

"Mother, I heard that there is a big sister in the palace." Carefree hospitality, as long as there are guests, they will be very happy.

"This sister is ......"

"Jiang Yu." Before Qiushui finished speaking, another voice came from the door, and the voice was full of incredulity.

Jiang Yu's face was pale, and he slowly raised his head, and the moment he saw the person, his body shook, as if he was about to faint.

The carefree little hand took Jiang Yu and asked worriedly, "Sister Yu'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

Jiang Yu bit her lip and shook her head slightly.

"Jiang Yu, why are you here? Are you here to get me? Liu Yexin stood there with a frown, and took a few steps back, full of vigilance.

Qiushui was surprised, but he didn't expect Liu Yexin to know Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu shook his head and looked at Liu Yexin coldly, with hatred flashing in his eyes: "Of course not, I didn't know that you were in the palace side by side, but you just came to be a guest with the princess." ”

"Then Gangneung doesn't know I'm here?" At this moment, Liu Yexin suddenly became cautious.

Hearing Jiang Ling's name, Jiang Yu's hand under his sleeve unconsciously clenched into a fist, and he couldn't help moaning: "Sister Yu'er, you scratched me." ”

With that worry-free voice, Jiang Yucai let go of his hand, and couldn't help feeling guilty: "Little county lord, I'm sorry." ”

Carefree shook his head: "It's okay, I don't hurt." ”

Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said coldly to Liu Yexin: "I don't know." ”

Liu Yexin breathed a sigh of relief, and just wanted to step in, when he suddenly met Jiang Yu's eyes as sharp as a knife, and couldn't help frowning at the moment.

Jiang Yu, that woman who was as gentle as water, why did she suddenly have such a sharp look?

And at this moment, Qiu Shui Man looked at Liu Yexin and Jiang Yu curiously, and between the two of them, there was an unusual atmosphere.

However, it was not pleasant.
