Chapter Seventy-Eight: Painstaking Loneliness
"His Royal Highness King Xuan is called, how dare I not go. Fortunately, I was clever, and I bet that he didn't dare to pursue it in front of Miss Gu, so I brought this jade flute back. ”
"It's me who is a burden," Qin Feng naturally patted Xie Ning on the shoulder, "If you hadn't been close to me, Qin Xi wouldn't have invited you to come." ”
Seeing the implicit self-blame in his words, Xie Ning couldn't help but regret his momentary rapidity, and changed the topic: "I really don't know what his idea is." ”
Qin Feng's eyes flickered, and he chuckled: "I think that with your help in the matter of suppressing bandits, I will win." ”
"Haha," Xie Ning blinked, "Then I'll wish Brother Ziyue all the best." ”
The two talked all the way, and before they knew it, they arrived at King An's Mansion. After getting out of the carriage, Xie Ning was surprised to notice that the person who was driving the car was not without a trace, but he didn't ask much, but followed Qin Feng's guidance and walked towards Qiushi Garden.
The simple and elegant small hall was filled with tea smoke, and as soon as Xie Ning entered the door, he saw the figure of grain ears and bright frost standing side by side. With a smile in the direction of the two, she sat down on the high chair beside Qin Feng.
Qin Feng held the tea handed over by Mingshuang, and his slender fingers rested on the celadon cup, like a well-carved jade. Without superfluous movements, the tall man has already been transformed into an ink painting.
"What are you thinking?"
Awakened to her senses by the inquiry of the person next to her, Xie Ning's cheeks were still hot, she looked away without a trace, and asked in disguise: "Brother Ziyue asked me to come here, but is there something?" ”
Qin Feng put down the celadon cup in his hand and said slowly: "How much time this trip to Yandi will take, no one can say. You robbed Qin Xi's jade flute today, and you offended him again, so it's hard to guarantee that he won't hold a grudge and come to trouble you again. I'm not in Beijing, you go out on weekdays, so you'd better be careful. ”
Open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to defend, but it is not easy to resolve the other party's calculations. Even if she has kung fu, she can't compete with dozens of secret guards with high martial arts. What's more, she is an impulsive person, without Qin Feng to break the siege, if she is ruthless, it will not be her who will suffer at that time.
After his mind turned, Xie Ning couldn't help frowning, and said impatiently: "After you leave, I won't go out, so as not to be calculated and frightened." ”
"That's not necessary," Qin Feng glanced at her with a smile, pointed at Mingshuang and said, "Wait a minute, you can bring Gu Sui and Mingshuang back together." When I go out to socialize on weekdays, I leave it to the two of her. Mama Qin, I have also sent someone to explain, don't worry, with her, Qin Xi doesn't dare to do anything to you. As for the jade flute, you can give it to Mama Qin, don't worry about it. ”
Mama Qin is the old person next to the first queen, and Qin Xi is the only concubine of the first queen. Although the relationship was a little chaotic, Xie Ning still nodded suddenly, thought about what he had just said, and politely declined: "It's just that I already have Mama Qin and Mama three by my side to help me, and Gu Sui can go back to the house with me, so I don't have to trouble Sister Mingshuang anymore." ”
In the final analysis, Mama Qin, like Qingliu and Xiaoyue, only entered the Hou Mansion because of Qin Feng. Qin Feng had done enough for her, and she didn't want to cause trouble for Qin Feng anymore.
"Ahem, I'm not in Beijing at that time, and Mingshuang is idle, so it's better to go to the Hou Mansion to go around. You won't forget the deal between the two of us, will you? Qin Feng obviously saw her concerns.
"Why," Xie Ning denied with a smile, "I have copied the calligraphy you gave me that day." ”
"That's fine," Qin Feng naturally got up and instructed, "I'll go to the palace for a banquet later, and the three of you can go back by car." Tomorrow there will be many people in the castle, and you will stay in the house, so that they will not recognize you. ”
"Okay," Xie Ning picked up the tea cup on the table and walked to Qin Feng, "Then I will replace the wine with tea, and I will first salute Brother Ziyue with a cup and make a great trip for you." ”
Qin Feng smiled meaningfully and raised the teacup to the girl in the apricot yellow dress opposite, and a figure was reflected in her dark eyes. After the crisp sound of collision, he put away the clear smile in his eyes, raised his hand, and watched the other party's figure fade away.
After a long time, the man standing in the hall sat back again, looking at the gray shadow that suddenly flashed in front of him, there was no look of surprise on his face, and he just asked lightly: "What did the two of them talk about?" ”
Traceless lowered his head and replied respectfully, "Miss Gu stayed here to question the reason why King Xuan designed to harm you. King Xuan did not respond, so Miss Gu asked if this matter had anything to do with Yun Zhilou Yinuo. ”
Qin Feng frowned, but he couldn't hear the slightest ripple in his voice, "And then?" ”
While recounting what happened at that time, he did not forget to add his own conjectures, "King Xuan mentioned that he received news that this year's Qixi Festival, Miss Gu and Yun Zhilou exchanged promises, that is, to make your trip to Yandi come true. Presumably, he made this move to thwart your efforts to suppress the bandits. Miss Gu then took her leave, and her subordinates had no way of knowing how she reacted. ”
"Heh," Qin Feng chuckled suddenly, but there was a sharp edge in his eyes, "It seems that some things need to be clarified as soon as possible." ”
As Qin Feng's confidant, Wuxian obviously knew what his master was referring to, hesitated for a moment, and then said loudly: "It's better to wait until you return to Beijing." ”
Qin Feng, who was sitting on the high chair, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, looked down at Wuxi, and asked thoughtfully: "What is the difference between me using her today and her using Xiao Yan on weekdays?" No wonder Xiao Yan is unhappy. Am I doing something wrong, you say? ”
"The subordinates don't understand. Miss Gu is exquisite, King Xuan is eyeing her, if you don't alienate Miss Xie in front of others, you will definitely bring disaster to her, what's wrong? Besides, Miss Xie is true for helping you train the soldiers, if Miss Gu intends to reciprocate, why don't we push the boat down the river......"
Qin Feng sighed lightly, "I didn't think so at first. But what does Gu Qingyun have to do with me, why do you want her to worry about my affairs? Using the sincerity of others to achieve my own goals, this kind of thing, I will not do, and I don't bother to do it. ”
Traceless raised his head, and a look flashed in his eyes, "That's why you arranged for Mingshuang to serve in the Hou Mansion." ”
"You also know A-Ning's situation, she stays in the Hou Mansion alone, if Qin Xi comes to the door, no one will stand up for her, you and I are far away in Shu, and we are beyond the reach of the whip. Mingshuang has always been steady, and with her to take care of her, I will be more at ease. ”
Traceless bowed slightly, and was about to get up to get the clothes that Qin Feng was going to wear for the palace banquet, when a laughing self-muttered in her ear - "But she has always been smart, even if something happens, she has her own way to deal with it." Maybe my arrangement is useless. ”
