Situ Huaibo took this as a threat, and asked Cao Ye to work for him and provide him with money support, fortunately, Cao Ye's family had a big business, otherwise at the speed of Situ Huaibo's money, his business empire would have collapsed long ago.

Cao Ye is a poor person, Cao Yue, as Cao Ye's sister, ended up miserable later, Situ Huaibo, the man, has no heart at all.

Throw it away when it's done.

Since Wen Xiangdong's father met Situ Huaibo last time, Wen Hongzhi has visibly become cold to his younger brother.

Wen Xiangdong was not annoyed in his heart, anyway, they were not disturbed by the river water for the time being.

But seeing that Situ Huaibo began to contact him closely, he felt that he should say hello to Qu Miaoling, if Qu Miaoling thought that he had betrayed, it would be troublesome.

So the two met again in the teahouse.

However, Wen Xiangdong's private property, the last Hui Wen Xiangdong successfully escorted grain and grass to support the border pass, the emperor was overjoyed, although he was not promoted to an official, but the verbal rewards and monetary rewards were not stingy at all.

He took half of the thousand taels of gold to recruit troops, and even bought several of the shops under his hands, Zhuangzi, and hired professionals to take care of them.

Even this teahouse, he has changed managers, under the leadership of the new shopkeeper, the business of the teahouse is getting better and better, and now there is a small balance.

Wen Xiangdong was very happy.

Finally, he is one step closer to his dream.

Just a moment before departure, he received a message from the border gate, and Situ Huai decided that he should not be able to come back after a month.

Wen Xiangdong frowned and came to the teahouse, this time, it was Qu Miaoling who came early.

"Your Highness, things have changed at the border."

"What?"

He handed over the secret letter he received to Qu Miaoling, and after Qu Miaoling read it, the expression on his face became grim.

Situ Huai decided to make this decision after all.

In his heart, the person who sent the letter said that Situ Huai decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue, take advantage of the high morale, attack all the way, and return the land that had been forcibly occupied by the Xiongnu over the years.

Moreover, the emperor also agreed in the secret letter.

This matter is very secret, and until now, Kyochu has not revealed any news.

"Your Highness, don't worry, since His Royal Highness has made this decision, he must have made all the preparations in his heart and will not make mistakes."

Why doesn't Qu Miaoling understand? Still, she was worried.

Situ Huaizhu delayed at the border for one more day, and she couldn't let go of the heart she was carrying, originally she was relieved when she heard that she was coming back, but now, that heart is tense again.

"Young Master Wen, you came to me today, you shouldn't just tell me about it."

"Your Royal Highness, that's the case, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has been in frequent contact with me recently, and he is also very good to my father, and he has been promoted by two levels in a row, you see me-"

"Young Master Wen, I already said it last time, this kind of thing, you just have to make up your own mind, as long as you don't betray me, everything is easy to say."

Wen nodded to the east.

"Moreover, I advise you again, it's best not to simply vote for Situ Huaibo, the faster you agree, the more he doubts you."

Wen Xiangdong suddenly realized. "I see."

Qu Miaoling meant that she would not interfere with his decision, but when necessary, she could not help Situ Huaibo do bad things.

"Your Highness, then I'll cold him first?"

He looked at Qu Miaoling tentatively, Qu Miaoling took a sip of tea, and said: "I hope you, try not to have a relationship with Situ Huaibo, but if you can't help it, just be false and wrong, you'd better mention your father in advance, don't be too involved." ”

"Xiang Dong understands."

If he could, of course he didn't want to offend Situ Huaibo, but he was Qu Miaoling's person now, and she still held her own lifeblood in her hands, if he rebelled, even if he took refuge in Situ Huaibo, would the other party accept him and not say anything, maybe he would find a way to get rid of him.

Just thinking about it, Wen Xiangdong felt a chill in his neck.

"Your Royal Highness, if His Royal Highness the Third Prince really marries Wen Qingqian, you?"

Qu Miaoling glanced at him obliquely, his eyes were cold and cold, he shook a little, and then lowered his eyebrows and didn't dare to say more.

After Qu Miaoling left, it took another period of time before he hurriedly left the teahouse, and only after making sure that he was not following anyone behind him did he enter the side courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Dad, let's not get too close to the second prince in the future."

Wen Xiangdong didn't plan to tell his father that he and Qu Miaoling were in the same faction, he took out the prepared rhetoric and said: "Dad, the third prince is about to come back from the border pass, his merits, it is absolutely no problem to sit on the throne, when the time comes, the emperor will choose between the second prince and the third prince, none of us know, so it is too dangerous for us to stand in line so early!" ”

Wen Zeduan thought about it and felt right.

"Son, you really reminded me, the matter of the third prince should be pondered carefully, in this way, he will help me be promoted, we will prepare a big gift for him, and when you see him in the future, you have to be respectful."

"My son understands."

After talking to his father, Wen Xiangdong went back.

And after Qu Miaoling separated from Wen Xiangdong again, she had nothing to do, so she wandered around the street, passing by a small stall selling jewelry, she stood still, "Shop, how do you sell this?" ”

She asked, holding up the two redfish in her hand.

Historically, this gathering of red fish has been a gift for couples and husbands and wives to each other.

The shopkeeper smiled, "Miss, you are really a good eye, this is my daughter-in-law made it up for nearly a month, the meaning is good, give it to the person you like, and you can show your heart, and take advantage of it, hehe." ”

The shopkeeper said that the sky was falling, and Qu Miaoling asked again, "How much?" ”

"A tael of silver."

Qu Miaoling took out a tael of silver from her purse and left the stall.

And the red fish was also put in a small bag close to her body, tied around her waist, tight.

Hopefully, she'll be able to give it to that person as soon as possible.

Qu Miaoling was walking on the street, and was about to turn into another road, when Wen Qingqian appeared, she was also alone, looking at her with burning eyes.

Her gaze fell on Qu Miao's Lin Mountain, and she didn't leave for a moment.

"Your Highness, long time no see."

"Long time no see."

I have only seen it at the chrysanthemum banquet.

"Miss Wen, are you waiting for me?"

"Of course."

"Something?"

"Miss Qu, let's talk here, do you think it's okay?"

"Then let's go to the restaurant over there?" Qu Miaoling recommended.

"Okay."

The two sat facing each other, Wen Qingqian spoke first, she stood up and bowed towards Qu Miaoling.

"Your Highness, you were all shallow and ignorant before, and I ask Your Highness not to remember the villain's mistakes, forgive me."

She was very sincere, before Qu Miaoling spoke, her legs kept bending, her upper body began to shake, shaking, and she didn't move.

"Your Highness, for the sake of us calling each other cousins and cousins, forgive Qingqian, okay?"

Wen Qing's tone was pleading, and he looked at Qu Miaoling with a sad look.

She didn't know when her eyes were red, and even her lips were trembling, aggrieved.

"What did you say?"

"Your Highness, I beg your pardon." Wen Qingqian's knees bent even more.

"Okay." Qu Miaoling agreed, and her voice seemed light.

"Your Highness, what you said is true?" Wen Qingqian instantly jumped up.

"Your Highness, can you promise me one condition?" Without waiting for Qu Miaoling to answer, she said, "Your Highness, after all, you are the quasi-imperial concubine of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, can you stay away from His Royal Highness the Third Prince?" Don't pester him anymore, you are uncles and sisters-in-law, and doing so is unreasonable and despised by the world. ”

Wen Qingqian's eyes widened, and his words were conclusive.

The apology and apology just now are actually foreshadowing, because the purpose of her coming today is to ask Qu Miaoling to agree to her request.

She put her status so low just now, so pitiful, if Qu Miaoling didn't agree, it wouldn't be in line with her identity and her personality.

So, in fact, when she said this prepared sentence, she did a lot of foreshadowing.

"Wen Qingqian, if this is your purpose today, then you miscalculated, I'm not you, eating from the pot and looking at the pot."

Wen Qing was stunned.

She looked at Qu Miaoling, her eyes blinked, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything.

"Wen Qingqian, I warn you, slander the imperial concubine, but it's guilty, I'm your sister-in-law, you just talk to me like that?"

Qu Miaoling's tone became more and more intense.

She stood up and approached Wen Qingqian, "Wen Qingqian, I'm not you, I won't be given to the third prince clearly, but I still miss the second prince, every time I have a banquet, my eyes always turn on the second prince, it's you!" ”

Wen Qingqian was choked again, unable to say a word of explanation.

"Wen Qingqian, I warn you, don't hook up with my prospective husband again, and if I find out again, I will sue the queen directly and let the queen decide."

"Qu Miaoling, you-"

"Wen Qingqian, I hope you remember."

Saying that, Qu Miaoling was the first to go out, but after Wen Qing's face was pale and pale, she also went out, and her steps were faster than Qu Miaoling.

She quickly surpassed Qu Miaoling, and the moment she misturned, Qu Miaoling also heard a faint cry.

Then, Qu Miaoling's footsteps were set.

Because not far away, Wen Qingqian also stopped, Situ Huaibo came, and the two of them looked at each other, as if they couldn't be separated.

You're non, I'm non.

completely regards her, the real quasi-imperial concubine, as nothing.

Qu Miaoling sneered.

"Your Highness, why are you—" He stopped talking, and his eyes were still red.

"This king is coming to find Miao Ling." It seemed that he had just thought of Qu Miaoling, Situ Huaibo looked behind him and saw Qu Miaoling's face cold.

"Miao Ling."

"Your Highness." Wen Qingqian saw Situ Huaibo walking away, and immediately shouted, his voice was delicate and soft, like water.

But Situ Huaibo's footsteps only paused, and he continued to move forward.

"Miao Ling, I'm here." still looks affectionate, if he hadn't looked at Wen Qing ambiguously just now, she would still believe a little, but the heart is there, hehe~

sneered in her heart, but the coldness on her face was slowly melting, "Your Highness, why are you here?" ”

"I'm looking for you." Continue to pack affectionate paragraphs.

Qu Miaoling hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, looking very happy, and then cast her eyes on Wen Qingqian.

Wen Qingqian looked at the two and stood together, as the queen said, like a "fairy couple".

Wen Qingqian clenched her fists, and in an instant, the pain hit, her already red and swollen eye circles became even redder, she had just been squatting for too long, and her legs were a little numb, and she even shook a little, so she threw her sad gaze on Situ Huaibo, and then turned to leave.

The weak willow supports the wind, and the movement of that hand is like wiping tears.

Qu Miaoling looked to the side and saw Situ Huaibo's teeth biting slightly, staring at Wen Qingqian's back, unable to take his eyes off.

"Your Highness? Didn't you come to me? If you have something to do with Sister Wen, you can go to her first, I'm not in a hurry. ”

Situ Huaibo came to his senses at this time, "Where am I looking for her, the shopkeeper downstairs said that you are here, so I came." ”

This was obviously a diversion from the topic, and Qu Miaoling did as he wished, "Shopkeeper? ”

"Miao Ling, the shopkeeper of this restaurant is my person, what do you want to eat in the future, just come, I will give you a free order." Situ Huaibo waved his hand, looking very generous.

"Then thank Your Highness for your hospitality."

"Shopkeeper, serve some good wine and food, so that you can entertain your future mistress."

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Master Ning rest assured, he will definitely let the kitchen take out all the unique work." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly went downstairs, leaving space for Situ Huaibo and Qu Miaoling.
