"Whether it's me, the Duke of Wei, or anyone else, you don't have to feel how unattainable it is. Aning, you're already fine. ”

Qin Feng was standing beside Xie Ning, his upright posture was like an evergreen ancient pine, but the indifferent smile between his eyebrows and eyes was like the willow color on the shore, as far as the eye could see, it was like a spring breeze.

Some people, whatever they say is convincing enough.

Xie Ning looked at the man with a serious expression in front of him, and was moved to his heart in an instant. She once confided in the other party, and it was precisely because the other party understood where her concerns about family affairs came from, that she deliberately expressed relief for her self-deprecating words that she didn't care about.

Like a gentle drizzle, Qin Feng's care for the people around him is mostly moisturizing and silent. During the training, out of various concerns, she took the initiative to disguise herself as a man. But she can't appear in front of people as a woman, in addition to guilt, Xie Ning also has some regret in her heart.

She didn't say it, but he did. Today's voice from everyone Ning Jiaotou really gave her too many surprises. If a confidant is like this, what more can a husband ask for.

"Let's go inside."

Qin Feng's voice came slowly, and Xie Ning put away the thoughts in his mind, let out an awkward "oh", and followed the opposite direction into the restaurant.

***

The atmosphere in the building was warm, and there was no need to care about the impact of the change of identity on everyone, Xie Ning also followed them to mess around.

Pushing the cup, the time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was already afternoon. Xie Ning, who has always had a good amount of alcohol, only drank a few glasses and politely refused Hou Zheng and the others to stay. followed King Qi and Xiao Shangshu out of Yunzhilou.

Qin Feng didn't leave in a hurry, Xie Ning went out to say hello to Wuji, then pretended that something was wrong, called a soft sedan chair on the side of the street, and headed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Although what he heard in Yunzhilou today was nonsense, Xie Ning still needed to go and ask Gu Qingyun, after all, this matter was very important, and if the first-class words intensified, I am afraid that Qin Feng's reputation would be involved.

The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion have always been kind, and Xie Ning explained his intentions. He was ushered into the inner courtyard. But I saw Gu Qingyun sitting in the water pavilion. A silver and red silk gauze skirt is bright and moving.

Walking closer, Xie Ning found the chess aping in front of the other party, and as soon as his eyes moved, he noticed the ancient scroll held in Gu Qingyun's hand.

"Sister Ning came just in time." Gu Qingyun smiled slightly. Then he put the things in his hand on the side of the case. Naturally, he motioned for Xie Ning to sit down, "I recently got a new endgame chess book, and I can't figure it out." I'm looking for someone to talk about it. I wonder if Sister Ning would like to hold a game with me? ”

Xie Ning silently took his eyes off the chessboard, and said without evasion: "I'm afraid that I'm going to disappoint Sister Gu, where can I do these elegant things." ”

Gu Qingyun glanced at her, and then said, "It's okay, I don't know what happened to Sister Ning when you came here today?"

"I have something I want to ask Sister Gu." Mentioning the purpose of this trip, Xie Ning changed his tone in an instant, and said to Gu Qingyun with a straight face.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyun's eyes flashed, and after a little thought, she waved away the maids and women standing in the water pavilion one by one, and said with a smile: "I don't know if Sister Ning is so solemn, what do you want to ask me?" ”

"I want to ask you, on the night of Qixi Festival, what did you get in exchange for the lantern in Yunzhilou?"

"Why did Ning Mei say this," In an instant, the smile on Gu Qingyun's face had faded, and she opened her lips lightly, and said in a detached tone: "I am the one who won Yun Zhilou Yinuo, as for what I exchanged it for, I have the owner of Yun Zhilou knowing, and I don't have to explain to others." ”

It's no wonder that Gu Qingyun is angry, Xie Ning has not been informed in advance of his visit this time, and now he is taking the liberty to inquire about such private matters, and it is not surprising that the other party has changed his usual mildness.

It's just that this matter involves Yandi's suppression of bandits, and Xie Ning is not only for Qin Feng, but also for her own efforts, and to speak for the three hundred soldiers of the Yan Wu Battalion. Qin Feng is a man, and Gu Qingyun has had many origins, so it is inconvenient to ask. On the contrary, she has a good relationship with Gu Qingyun, and it is more appropriate to verify it on her behalf.

"I understand what Sister Gu meant, and she didn't mean to ask, but there was a reason for it, so I had to ask." Shainin carefully considered the wording, and then spoke slowly.

Hearing this, Gu Qingyun suddenly raised her eyebrows, looked at Xie Ning with a puzzled expression, and said in a soothing tone: "I don't know why?" ”

"Today I heard some rumors in Yunzhilou, and I actually said that His Royal Highness King An's work in suppressing bandits this time was because of Sister Gu, you guessed the lamp in exchange," Xie Ning's tone froze, and he glanced at Gu Qingyun deeply, and then continued to speak: "Zhongkou Shuojin, if the situation continues to develop like this, I am afraid that public opinion will be unfavorable to King An." ”

"Sister Gu, what are you asking for in exchange for a lamp? If it has nothing to do with it, I will send someone to explain it, so that there will be no misunderstanding. As soon as Xie Ning's words fell, he raised his eyes and looked at Gu Qingyun.

But seeing the red-dressed beauty in front of her, her face was calm, but there were autumn waves flowing in her eyes, like broken stars in the evening sky and fireflies flowing on the water, just sitting here, it was already better than the countless delicate flowers in this garden, no matter if she didn't smile, it was also extremely moving.

"What if what I ask for happens to be related to it?"

Knowing that his ear was very good and he had not misheard, Xie Ning heard the sound, but he only felt that his heartbeat had missed a beat, and he leaned forward in disbelief, as if he wanted to discern some joke from Gu Qingyun's face, and said in a panicked tone: "Is this true?" ”

"Why should I lie to you," Gu Qingyun sighed faintly, suddenly turned his head and staggered Xie Ning's gaze, and muttered almost inaudibly: "At that time, he was hated by King Xuan because of the Ruyi Fang incident, and later he was designed by the other party to go to Yandi to suppress bandits." Ever since I learned about this from my father, I was very worried, and going to Yunzhilou to guess the lantern was the only thing I could do for him. Fortunately...... Fortunately, I was lucky, and I guessed a lot of lantern riddles on the night of Tanabata. ”

After listening to Gu Qingyun's self-statement, Xie Ning had mixed feelings for a while, but in the end, he sighed in vain in his heart. For this dangerous trip to suppress bandits, although Qin Feng had planned early, the training was also carried out secretly. Gu Qingyun, who was kept in the dark, didn't know about it, and by mistake, she went to Yunzhilou to guess the lamp.

In the end, it's just a misunderstanding, but the current situation. But Shainin didn't know how to deal with it for a while. Gu Qingyun had good intentions to change Qin Feng's promise, but now that there are rumors in Beijing, when the rumors spread, I am afraid that Qin Feng's contribution to clearing the bandits will become an affair between him and Gu Qingyun, which will be talked about.

After getting along day and night for many days, Xie Ning believed in the strength of the people in Yan Wuying, and also knew Qin Feng's dedication, she didn't think that the victory they fought in Yandi was related to Yun Zhilou, but she couldn't convince everyone.

Yun Zhilou has been guessing the lamp for a long time. Compared to the prince who has been sick for many years. Obviously, the restaurant with this magic power is even more unquestionable.

But at this point, she couldn't say anything to blame Gu Qingyun, who was gloomy, so she had to get up and walk in front of her, lowered her eyes and said, "Today is Xie Ning's recklessness." In a hurry. will come to verify. I hope Sister Gu will forgive me. In short, it's useless to think about this matter, and you shouldn't worry about it. ”

"It's okay," Gu Qingyun raised her eyes and looked at Xie Ning. Su Ri's always decent smile turned a little pale for some reason, "You are also concerned about chaos, I understand." ”

No matter how many words of comfort there are, I can't say anything in my heart. In order to verify this matter, she had to come on this trip to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but after learning the truth, it made people even more unsure of where to go.

After a long silence, Xie Ning spoke astringently, "Sister Gu, I still have something to do, so I will leave first." ”

"Okay." Gu Qingyun seemed to have adjusted her excess emotions, a delicate little face had a clear smile, and after a brief response, she thoughtfully beckoned to the maid outside the water pavilion, "Send Miss Xie out of the house." ”

However, at this time, Xie Ning, who was preoccupied, didn't know, and not long after she left, the woman in red sitting behind the desk picked up two chess pieces, one black and one white, from the chessboard in front of her, and said to herself: "The person you like? It's her...... Or is she? ”

"Miss," a respectful voice came from outside the curtain, and Gu Qingyun took her eyes off her hand at this time, but only said lazily, "Hmm." Then he stared back at it.

"The number of Shu brocade slaves and maids who have paid tribute to Shu this year has sent someone to find out, and King An's Mansion has obtained a total of ten horses, half of which are white in the crescent moon and half in Tianshui Bi."

Gu Qingyun didn't raise her head, and asked in a light tone: "How many horses are there in Tianshuibi, and who are they in?" ”

"Except for King An, there are only three places in this day. We have three horses in the Prime Minister's Mansion, five horses in the palace concubine Niangniang, and two horses in the Xiao Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War. ”

"Is there a ...... in the Xiao Mansion?" Gu Qingyun suddenly clenched the chess pieces in her hand, and muttered thoughtfully: "I heard that Mrs. Xiao intends to hold a banquet in the near future, do you know which ladies she has invited?" Can the young lady of the Wei Mansion go? ”

"The slave maid heard about this matter from the maid of the Xiao Mansion, and I don't know who was invited, but this Miss Wei is indeed among the invitees, oh, by the way, there is also the Miss Xie who came to visit just now, it seems that the Xiao Mansion also intends to invite it."

"That's the case," Gu Qingyun lowered her voice very slowly, while making a sound, she threw the chess pieces in her hand to the ground, then got up and walked outside the water pavilion, and instructed the maid who was standing by the curtain to reply: "Didn't Xiao Yan send someone to send an invitation a few days ago, you ordered someone to tell him, Mrs. Xiao, I will also go to this banquet." ”

"Yes."

"And ......" Gu Qingyun waved slightly, and the maid came over with her ears, and waited until her words fell, then she looked up at the smiling woman in red in front of her, and nodded yes.

***

However, he said that Xie Ning had left the Prime Minister's Mansion, and after thinking about it, after some consideration, he still decided to go to King An's Mansion to inform Qin Feng. After all, this matter is very involved, and it is really difficult for Xie Ning to deal with it alone.

Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the place, she was told by the porter that King An had not returned. Xie Ning then remembered that the other party should still be in Yunzhilou now, and while he was annoyed, he was also worried that he would miss Qin Feng when he returned at this time, so he had to wait in place.

I don't know how long it took, the sky was getting dark, and even the concierge of King An's Mansion couldn't help but step forward and persuade: "I don't know what Miss Xie is looking for our prince?" If you are not in a hurry, the girl should come back tomorrow. ”

Xie Ning pursed his lips reluctantly, "Don't worry, uncle, Your Highness must be back soon." I'll just wait here. ”

"Girl, aren't you embarrassed by the old slave," the old porter looked at her anxiously, and after a little thought, he said: "It's better to be like this, although the prince is not there, you can't let the girl wait at the door." It's not early, how about you sit in the house first? ”

Having said that, Qin Feng was not there, and she was presumptuous to go in and disturb her. Xie Ning was about to shake his head, when suddenly his heart moved, and when he thought of something, he asked directly: "I don't know if Miss Xu is in the house?" ”

"That's not true," the porter shook his head without hesitation, "Miss Xu is in the palace right now. ”

It's really unfortunate that Xu Banxia is not there. When Xie Ning heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and was about to go to a restaurant not far away to eat and wait for others, when there was a sound of wheels rolling in his ears.

"Girl, our prince is back!"

Xie Ning couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and turned his head to look, but saw a gray robe jumping off the car without a trace, and said with a slightly stunned expression: "Xie, Miss Xie, why are you here?" ”

"I have something to talk about looking for Brother Ziyue," the curtain of the car had been lifted, Xie Ning naturally looked at Qin Feng, and called out loudly: "Brother Ziyue, can you enter the mansion for a while?" ”

"Let's go," Qin Feng glanced at her, and did not rush to ask Xie Ning's intentions, so he walked into the mansion with his hands in his hands, leaving only a trace of wanting to stop talking.

As soon as he walked to the inner courtyard of the palace, Qin Feng suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Have you had dinner?" ”

"No," Xie Ning replied frankly, and then also cared: "What about Brother Ziyue?" ”

Qin Feng bowed slightly, "I used some in Yunzhilou, but I was a little hungry at this time." Let's go to Qiushi Garden for a while, and let Traceless inform the kitchen to set up the meal. ”

"Okay."

"What are you looking for me?"

The relationship between the two is familiar, Xie Ning is used to Qin Feng's concise tone, not to mention that she has a straightforward temperament, so she will not feel that the other party is cold.

"It's a long story," it wasn't until he entered the flower hall in Qiushi Garden that Xie Ning saw that there was no one around, so he told him what he had seen and heard today...... The miscellaneous servant told me and King Qi that it was rumored in Beijing that Miss Gu's request for Yunzhilou's promise on the day of Qixi was related to the Yandi bandits. ”

When Qin Feng heard this, he immediately frowned, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "What is the use of Yun Zhilou's trick of exchanging promises, but it is just for fame and profit, and it is just a delusion to get it for nothing." will believe in these nonsense, either people who are greedy for profit, or stupid and stupid people. ”

His words scolded Gu Qingyun as well. Xie Ning couldn't help but look a little embarrassed, but he had to admit that what Qin Feng said was indeed true.

The world's blind pursuit of Yun Zhilou is just a fluke psychology of vain trying to hit the luck, and Yun Zhilou is taking advantage of this to make a lot of money, how is it not a profiteer?

What he wanted to say hadn't been finished yet, and after a while, Xie Ning secretly looked at Qin Feng's expression and eased slightly, and then he spoke again. (To be continued.) )
