Several floor-to-ceiling stone lamps reflected the room exceptionally brightly, and the lights were slightly yellow, reflecting the complicated look on Xiao Yan's face, and after listening to Qin Feng's heartfelt words, he realized what the other party's troubles were—it turned out that he not only loved her, but also cherished her talents.

"When you succeed in suppressing bandits and return to Kyoto, you can go to the imperial front to ask for a reward for her and announce it to the world."

The scene that he had recalled over and over again in his mind resurfaced, Qin Feng only felt that the girl's movement over the wall was too smooth, and the disguise was too natural, and his heart was dull, and he said lightly: "Today she went to Tianlinfang, and she was wearing men's clothes. When I sent her back in the afternoon, she climbed over the wall while no one was ready. I want her to come and go in and out of the country in a dignified manner, but I can't wait for the time to return to Beijing from Yandi. ”

Xiao Yan frowned and said, "Isn't it a good thing that Xie Ning is so cautious?" In case the movement of this training reaches Qin Min or Qin Xi's ears, wouldn't it be a big deal for us. ”

Getting up and taking a jar of new wine, Qin Feng took two green jade cups from the table and sat back on the ground, "But I can't watch her be wronged." Hiding and hiding like this, she pretended to be nothing on her face, and she would inevitably feel uncomfortable in her heart. ”

Xiao Yan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, watched Qin Feng hold the altar and pour wine into the cup, and said irritably: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and it is better to be wronged for the time being than to expose your strength." What's more, Shainin climbed over the wall, it's not a matter of one or two days, what does it have to do with you? You're worrying here, maybe she's kind of going back over the wall. ”

Qin Feng drank the wine in the cup and glanced at Xiao Yan coldly, "I asked her for help, not to let her be wronged." ”

With a flash of his eyes, Xiao Yan hit the nail on the head and said, "Then what do you want?" Poked out the matter of training soldiers, forcing the Marquis of Jingping to send in and out every day, and the whole city knows that your King An asked Xie Nuxia to help you suppress bandits? Don't laugh, you yourself know what the consequences of this are. Otherwise, why would you borrow wine here to quench your sorrows? ”

"Heh," Qin Feng shook his head and smiled, I don't know how many times he filled the cup in his hand tonight, the coolness of the cold pool incense spread from his fingertips to his heart, and with a shake of his hand, the white Shengxue's brocade robe was stained with amber wine.

Just a moment of surprise, Xiao Yan looked away as if nothing had happened, his gaze fixed on Qin Feng's seemingly loose eyes, and said: "The love word is wrong, I told you earlier." Knowing that you can't do it, isn't it bad for you to plan for years? ”

"Years of planning," Qin Feng repeated self-deprecatingly, "If it is my great cause, it must be based on the grievances of others." It's so painstaking, it's better to give up. ”

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't love the country and love the beauty?" It's not a nice name, but if only you could have both, you can have both. However, Shainin is not a beauty. ”

Hearing this, Qin Feng raised his head suddenly, and Xiao Yan's panic was reflected in his eyes - "Hey, I'm telling the truth, Xie Ning is not a beauty in the first place." ”

A glint flashed in his eyes, and Qin Feng took a deep breath, "You say it again." ”

Xiao Yan said with a humble heart: "Xie Ning, not a beauty." ”

"Not that."

After a long silence, Xiao Yan's voice sounded hesitantly, "If there is a way to have both, it would be great if you could do both." ”

Hearing this, Qin Feng nodded, swept away the previous depression, and said with a radiant expression: "I can go to Gao Hou and ask him to help, and give Xie Ning a chance to go out openly." ”

"Will he agree?"

Qin Feng affirmed: "This matter is beneficial to Xie Ning, he will not refuse." ”

"Aren't Xie Ning and Gao Hou not related by blood? How do you know he'll say yes? ”

With a flash of light, Qin Feng avoided answering, and said conclusively: "In short, he will definitely agree." ”

Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and after taking a drink, he said loudly: "Even if he should do this, he may not keep it a secret for you, at least the concubine will definitely find out that you have strength in secret." Painstaking management, maybe it will be ruined because of this, and you won't feel distressed at all? ”

His eyes deepened, and the emotions in his eyes were as indistinguishable as ink, Qin Feng did not shy away from saying bluntly: "As soon as the holy decree of the bandits was suppressed, Aze was detained in the palace by her. How to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, the concubine Niangniang understands best. ”

"Aren't you going to make a false deal with her again?"

Qin Feng's expression froze, he lowered his head and sipped, covering the uncertain look in his eyes, and said lightly: "After a few years of covering, they will know one day." But just expose a little hole card in advance, I will consider it carefully, and it will not involve others. ”

***

In the middle of the night, the two of them were drinking in the soft red mansion, but Xie Ning, who was in the Hou Mansion, was in a deep dream, completely unaware of Qin Feng's thoughts because of her unintentional words. After a tiring day, she went to bed after practicing her words. A good night's sleep, and when you wake up, you're refreshed.

"Miss, why are you up so early?" Gu Sui rubbed his eyes and looked at Xie Ning, who was boxing in the courtyard, his voice was full of surprise, "You fell asleep as soon as you put on the pillow last night, I thought you would sleep more today." ”

He had already heard Gu Sui's movement of getting up, Xie Ning was not surprised by her arrival, his hand movements did not stop, and he turned his head and replied: "The time for the rooster to crow has passed, so it is natural to get up." ”

The corners of Gu Sui's mouth twitched, "There is no rooster in the Hou Mansion, Miss, you can still be so punctual." ”

"I'm used to it," Xie Ning smiled, walked to Gu Sui's side, and asked, "By the way, is Mama Qin used to staying with us?" You also know that she is the person invited by His Royal Highness King An, so we must treat her well and don't neglect others. ”

"Mama is not dissatisfied, but I have one thing to tell you, Miss."

Xie Ning looked curious, "Oh? ”

"Yesterday, Miss you went out and left the house, but the second miss wanted to come to visit you, I couldn't stop her, fortunately there was a grandmother, and I sent her away in a few words, and said that the second miss couldn't learn etiquette at home. Miss, you weren't there, otherwise you would have laughed out loud when you saw her face that dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak. ”

"Ha," Xie Ning imagined the scene at that time, laughed, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and turned to explain Gu Sui, "I will not be in the house in the future, if anyone comes to look for me again, you can tell them that I am doing the homework assigned by my grandmother, and it is inconvenient to go out to see each other." ”

Mama Qin's identity may not be as simple as it seems. Which ordinary teaching mother will attract Lou's mother to take the initiative to show her goodwill, which will make Gao Yiyan suffer a loss? Since the other party is willing to cover up for her, she is naturally happy to have less trouble, so as not to cause trouble.

"Okay," Gu Sui nodded and wrote down Xie Ning's instructions, turned around and went into the small kitchen to cook, but as soon as she entered the door, she let out another exclamation, "Miss, you even made it early?" ”

"No," Xie Ning looked over, looking at the steaming stove, and was equally surprised.
