Inside the Ann Palace

The man in white and jade crown walked slowly from the corridor, and a voice came from the room with the door half-hidden - "Obviously, we met yesterday, and I have to call my master from the soft red mansion, which disturbs people's interest." I don't know what your prince is looking for me this time. ”

"What do you say," Qin Feng pushed the door and walked in, glancing at him meaningfully.

Xiao Yan was reclining on the cushion behind him, but when he heard the sound, he suddenly coughed lightly uncomfortably, straightened up from his seat, looked scattered below, and said with a slightly weak heart: "In addition to the soft red mansion in the past few days, I have only gone to your Anwang Mansion, and I haven't done anything out of the ordinary, why do you look at me like this?" ”

"Heh," Qin Feng sneered, walked up to him in a few steps, and asked in a cold voice, "I talked to you for so long yesterday, why didn't you tell me about the banquet you sent to Gu Qingyun?" ”

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed, and he tilted his head without a trace, staggering his gaze slightly from Qin Feng, and said, "When I invited her to the banquet, you hadn't returned from Yandi yet. It's been so long, and she hasn't given me an answer, and I didn't think she would answer again, so I didn't mention it to you yesterday. ”

Qin Feng glanced at him, and felt quite angry, and said helplessly: "Then after you went back yesterday, didn't you think about why she accepted the invitation at this time?" ”

"Ziyue," Xiao Yan raised his lowered eyebrows, a pair of peach blossom eyes looked at Qin Feng extremely intently, and said with a serious expression: "You don't have to think too badly of Qingyun. Maybe she was just hurt by you on the day of the palace banquet, so she thought about it for a while. What's more, I was invited first, and she didn't take the initiative to go. ”

His voice fell. Qin Feng took his robe and sat on top of him, and said noncommittally: "I hope." ”

Xiao Yan only felt that his breath was blocked in his heart, but he couldn't prove the truth for a while, so he was depressed, so he picked up the tea cup from the high case between the two, and poured it down with his neck up, without the demeanor of a son of a family.

Seeing this, Qin Feng couldn't help frowning slightly, it wasn't that he disliked Xiao Yan's vulgar behavior, but he was too affectionate for Gu Qingyun. It's not a good thing after all.

"Xie Ning and Wei Qingyang are probably going to get married." Qin Feng's tone was very understatement. As if it had nothing to do with him.

Xiao Yan was stunned when he heard this, and when he was about to take the teacup again, he paused, and said in an eager tone: "How come?" Didn't you say ...... yesterday?"

Before Qin Feng could say anything, Xiao Yan frowned again and said, "How do you know?" Didn't all the people you planted in the prefectures be sent to deal with the rumors in Beijing? ”

"It was Shainin himself. Someone else relayed it to me. Qin Feng closed his eyes. It looks like he's calm.

Xiao Yan cautiously probed: "Then what are you going to do?" She is going to marry into the Wei Mansion. You can't keep planning for her, can you? What did you do for her privately......"

"Why not?" Qin Feng still had his eyes closed, but there was no tiredness on his handsome face. "But she doesn't know anything about it, so why are you doing this?" Xiao Yan persuaded bitterly.

"I've thought about it." Qin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he said in a firm tone: "No matter what Wei Qingyang's intentions are, I will not give up Xie Ning again." As you said, she didn't even know what I wanted, and it would be a shame that I gave up so easily. ”

Xiao Yan's expression was shocked, and a pair of peach blossom eyes widened, "But now that the marriage of a man and a woman is a foregone conclusion, how can you interfere?" “

"It's man-made," Qin Feng naturally picked up the teacup at hand, pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "If I don't try, I will definitely regret it in the future." What's more, Xie Ning still has a female official exam to prepare, even if they want to get married, at least they have to wait until Xie Ning and Lu have a firm foothold in the court. ”

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing that Qin Feng's mind had been made up, and it was inconvenient to change it, so he had to focus on another place, and joked with a laugh: "Don't you really think that Xie Ning can be a female official, right?" Even if there is a martial arts hall, the selection of female officers is always knowledgeable, Xie Ning's kung fu is good, but when it comes to the art of war strategy, how much can she know? ”

"With my help, she can naturally become a female official."

"Poof-" Xiao Yan couldn't help laughing, Fang Cai's unhappiness had already been left behind, and seeing that Qin Feng had no displeasure on his face, he teased again: "His Royal Highness King An is really confident. It's just that she now has both the care of her mother and her fiancé, so I don't have to worry about it. ”

Qin Feng looked at him when he heard this, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind, his black eyes were obviously dark, but with his white clothes of Shengxue, the whole person looked extremely indifferent, with a kind of immortal aura that did not eat the fireworks of the world.

After a while, his low voice came from inside the room, "I always feel that there is something strange about the Wei State Mansion. With 100,000 soldiers alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to arouse the jealousy of my father. They chose Shainin, perhaps not pure. ”

As soon as Qin Feng's voice fell, Xiao Yan casually bent his finger and flicked the teacup, and the corners of his mouth hooked lightly: "The situation in Beijing is gradually rising, if the Wei State Mansion really has other intentions, a year and a half will be enough for you to find out the truth." ”

"Maybe it doesn't have to be a year and a half," Qin Feng also laughed, and confessed without hesitation: "I have ordered someone to visit Shudi, and we will find out where this family matter came from in a few days." ”

"Master," at this moment, a traceless voice suddenly sounded from outside the door, "Miss Xie has come to visit the mansion, I wonder if you want to meet her here?" ”

Xiao Yan coaxed: "Yo, this is really talking about who is here." ”

"Let's go to Qiushi Garden," Qin Feng thought for a while, then gave an answer, completely ignoring Xiao Yan's expression of frowning on the side, got up and stood up from his seat, raised his hand and stroked the brocade robe that was not wrinkled at all, and walked away.

"Hey, you're waiting for me!"

……

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Sister Xie for a few days!"

"Qin Feng! Qin Ziyue! ”

Xiao Yan's voice came from not far away, Xie Ning looked at the traceless walking in front, shook the tips of his ears, roughly locked the position of the other party, and with a little luck, he stepped over the rockery and wall one by one, crossed a wall, and landed in front of Xiao Yan in a dashing manner.

"Sister Xie!" Xiao Yan shouted loudly. The joy on the face is not fake, but it is slightly exaggerated.

Xie Ning knew that he was angry with Qin Feng, so he pursed his lips and smiled: "Brother Xiao." ”

Qin Feng, who was originally walking in front, suddenly turned around and stood beside Xiao Yan, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, looked at Xie Ning and said, "Light skills are good." ”

"Not as good as Big Brother Without a Trace." Xie Ning blinked slyly and looked in the direction of the wall. Not long after her words fell, a gray shadow flew down from the direction where Xie Ning came, and her body changed so quickly that ordinary people could not imagine.

"Without a trace, you don't always want to be so elusive in the future. It's a little too scary. ”

I don't know if it's intentional or not. Where you can land without a trace. happened to be behind Xiao Yan, the distance between the two was less than a foot, and it was no wonder that Xiao Yan was uncomfortable.

The corners of Xie Ning's mouth curled, but he had no intention of helping Xiao Yan come out. Instead, he naturally followed Qin Feng forward.

"You and Traceless are good. Wait until the martial arts hall officially opens. So I asked him to take some time and go over to help teach when he had time. If you are itchy, you can also have a discussion with him. Qin Feng walked away. One side said to Shainin.

"Great! Then let's settle it. Xie Ning looked at Qin Feng in surprise, his black and white apricot eyes seemed to be dotted with starlight, so bright that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

She had long wanted to make a move with Wuji, but she knew that the other party's kung fu was too high, so she didn't dare to get an axe in front of the other party, but now Qin Feng took the initiative to tell her, and she gladly agreed.

Qin Feng looked at her for a while, and it wasn't until Wuji and Xiao Yan behind him gradually caught up with him that he withdrew the affection hidden in his gaze, and pretended to chuckle and said, "By the way, you are looking for me today, is there something wrong?" ”

"There are a few things I want to discuss with you," the long-awaited wish was about to be fulfilled, Xie Ning's heart was happy, and his tone was even lighter than before.

"Let's go in and talk."

The group entered the house, and before Xie Ning could speak, Xiao Yan received a look from Qin Feng's envoy, and said first: "Sister Xie, you don't have to take it to heart about Lord Xiao's invitation to Shangshu Mansion as a guest." If you don't want to go, I'll go back and help you find an excuse to put the matter off. ”

"No need," Xie Ning didn't expect the relationship between Xiao Yan and his father to be so stiff, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and explained without concealment: "I have already agreed with Lord Xiao before, and when I am busy in a few days, I will go to the mansion for a banquet." If you excuse me, you will make him suspicious. ”

"That's it......" Xiao Yan slowly lengthened his voice, but his eyes glanced at Qin Feng without a trace, and only after receiving the other party's affirmative look did he nod and said, "Anyway, you have to get married, so you don't have to worry about anything." ”

Although what Xiao Yan said has some truth, after all, this matter of marriage has not yet been confirmed, and it can't be directly clarified like this. When Xie Ning heard this, he couldn't help but turn red, and subconsciously looked at Qin Feng, his eyes revealing questioning.

"Cough," Qin Feng put his fisted hand to his lips, avoided Xie Ning's gaze, turned his back and coughed lightly, and then said to Xiao Yanzheng: "You have always said a lot, you must remember in the future, don't mention this kind of thing casually." ”

Seeing him so solemn, Xie Ning was even more embarrassed, but Xiao Yan's extremely unconvincing voice came from his ears-"I'm just talking about it in front of the three of us." Master, even if I talk fast, in front of others, I know how to measure and will not mention it. ”

Qin Feng shook his head helplessly, but he didn't bother with him too much, but gestured for the two of them to take a seat, looked at Xie Ning casually and said, "Ah Ning, didn't you just say that you have something to tell me?" ”

"Oh, yes," Xie Ning was free and easy, he was embarrassed for a while, but he didn't take it to heart, and when he heard the voice, he said to Qin Feng about business, "Brother Ziyue must have known about this matter earlier than me." Our Lord Pei of Shu has been promised the excerpt handed to the emperor. In the future, this martial arts hall can also be used to house the brothers in Shu and the border passes. ”

The corners of Qin Feng's mouth hooked, and he didn't hide the look of understanding in his smile, and said with a slight bow: "This is a good thing." However, there were only 300 soldiers in the Yanwu camp, and the number of wounded was not large, and the injuries were not serious, but there were often enemy troops in Shu and the border passes, and I am afraid that the resettlement would be even more difficult. ”

At this point, Xie Ning also thought that although the income of the martial arts hall could be used to provide food and lodging for the wounded soldiers, once the number of seriously injured people increased, this money would be just a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning.

Qin Feng sat opposite her, although separated from the distance, he could see the loss in her eyes clearly, and after a pause, he continued: "But you don't have to worry, I have already written to ask the military camp to visit, and once my father allows it, I can know the specific situation of the two places." At that point, it's never too late to figure it out. For now, it's better to concentrate on our Yan Wuying first. ”

It's true, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Not to mention whether the martial arts hall can support so many people in the future, their plan is just an unrealized idea at the moment. Xie Ning nodded with great approval, then put the matter aside for the time being, and said, "There is one more thing that I have never had time to tell Brother Ziyue." Mingshuang has taken care of me for so long, and I can't help it. Now that you have returned to Beijing, you also need someone to take care of the trivial things around you. I'll send her back tomorrow. ”

"No need," Qin Feng said bluntly, he was not half surprised by Xie Ning's remarks, and looked at Xie Ning and said: "I promised you to help you pass the female official exam, but now that Mama Qin has been ordered to enter the palace, there is no one to take care of by your side, so Mingshuang should stay in the Hou Mansion." In this way, you can go out to the banquet and feel more at ease. ”

"Brother Ziyue," Xie Ning ignored Qin Feng's opposing looks, and said to himself: "I already have Xiaoyue and Qingliu by my side to take care of me." Mingshuang is your personal maidservant, it was because you went out to suppress bandits, but now that you have returned to Beijing from Shudi, it is appropriate for her to stay in the palace to take care of you. ”

Qin Feng glanced at her, and said slowly with a helpless expression: "I am usually served by Traceless, and Mingshuang is not in the palace, so it has no effect on me." She fell in love with the maid next to you, so what if she stayed in the Hou Mansion temporarily. ”

In Xie Ning's impression, there was indeed no servant beside Qin Feng, if he was not by his side, he would never put on any princely shelf, but did it himself, without pretending to be the hands of others. For what he just said, he believed three points more.

Xiao Yan saw that she looked thoughtful, and thought she was thinking about how to refuse, so she interjected impatiently: "I said two, just a maid, are you pushing around like this?" In my opinion, you might as well go and ask her directly. Wherever she wants to stay, you follow her wishes. Why waste your tongue here? ”

"She stayed in the Hou Mansion." Qin Feng's eyes flashed with a smile, but his tone only said lightly.

Xie Ning, who had already learned the truth from Mingshuang's mouth, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard this, although he felt a little awkward in his heart, he didn't brush Qin Feng's kindness after all. After all, after getting along for many days, she also had a lot of feelings for the clear-minded Mingshuang. (To be continued.) )

PS: Explain the previous stalk: The congratulatory gift given by A-Ning on the day of Qin Feng's opening was Aunt Li of the bun shop (do you remember this person?) The fabric I bought, and some scraps at the back were made into handkerchiefs, but Gu Qingyun saw it at the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, so she was suspicious. Before, she thought that the person Qin Feng fell in love with was Wei Chengcheng, but now she is not sure.
