Xue Jinian's expression was cold, the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, and he tilted his head slightly to the little palace maid who sent him out of Huanyi Palace: "What did you hear?" ”

The little palace maid lowered her head, held her hands respectfully in front of her, and didn't even raise her head when she heard the words, she shook her head directly, and said, "The slave didn't hear anything." ”

Xue Jinian laughed: "Well, yes, you don't need to send it, go back, and wait for your mother well." ”

"The slave obeys." The little palace maid blessed her body and left quickly.

@@@

On both sides of Yongxiang, on the palace road where people come and go, a young man in a black suit is still kneeling straight.

He had been on his knees for three full hours.

Everyone who passed by couldn't help but glance at him, but no one dared to come forward and talk.

There are people who know Xue Qi, and there are people who don't. Everyone knows that Dongchang is all the way with the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine and the queen are two forks in the road.

Although Xue Qi, who is the head of the East Factory, was only punished by Princess Changle, who can guarantee that it is not the two gods of the harem who are fighting?

You see, Xue Jinian, who is the governor of Dongchang, does not show up, presumably the matter is very serious, and he doesn't dare to ask a few of them.

When Princess Changle and Hua Qian arrived with a group of people in a menacing manner, they saw Xue Qi still kneeling in place, and he hadn't even moved an inch under his knees.

Changle walked up to him and looked down at him from top to bottom.

"Xue Qi, do you know your mistake?"

Xue Qi didn't raise his eyes for Princess Changle's domineering appearance, his gaze fell on the handkerchief not far in front of him, which was something that Princess Changle had used and discarded this morning.

"My subordinates don't know!"

"You're ......!"

In front of Hua Qian, Xue Qi returned to the top so bluntly, which made Princess Changle quite unable to get off the stage. Princess Changle only felt a wave of depression rushing to her head, and her brain was hot, and she raised her hand and slapped it out.

Unexpectedly, halfway through, someone grabbed his hand directly.

"Sister Huang, what are you doing? You let go of me. ”

Hua Qian felt that it was really a headache, and Changle didn't know who to learn from with his hot temper, so he exploded at a point.

"My little ancestor, didn't we just say that let people leave?"

"But look at him, he doesn't know what's wrong." Changle was very unconvinced, and even a little aggrieved, she personally came to let him go, and he didn't know what to do, so he was angry with her.

Hua Qian was very helpless: "If you don't know the mistake, you don't know the mistake, let's find a way to clean him up in the future, you see that in this public, it is not a good thing for you to punish a director of the East Factory on a trumped-up charge." ”

"He's a little soldier, and this princess can't be punished?"

"Yes! Why can't it, but if you look at so many people right now, I'm worried that they are arranging right and wrong, in case the rumors spread and spread to the ears of my father and queen mother, it will not be good. ”

Princess Changle was stunned, and her bright and round eyes were full of stunning momentum. Everywhere they looked, all the palace maids and eunuchs bowed their heads one after another.

"I'm still afraid of their choreography?"

Hua Qian choked, the royal favored princess, just has such confidence, a fake like her, she doesn't dare to be so arrogant.

"Yes, yes, the royal sister knows that you are amazing. But have you forgotten that the queen mother also instructed us to keep a low profile and not to be brutal in everything. So this revenge should also be low-key. You are so well-known in the palace, and when you turn around and are sued by that woman in front of your father, do we still have to think about it? When I entered the palace, we both were grounded twice, and then we were grounded, and the queen mother's face was dull, and when the time came, we had to be punished again, right? ”

Princess Changle's heart sank, she was not afraid of heaven and earth, she was afraid of Queen Wen.

That's a ruthless character who can lock her up in the royal shrine without changing her face and don't even give her saliva to drink for three days!

She pursed her lips, a little cowardly in her heart.

Seeing that Changle was a little moved, Hua Qian's heart was overjoyed, pulled Changle and walked to the side, and continued to coax her in a low voice: "Alas, there is actually another reason. ”

"What is it?"

"Don't you know, in this world, some people make mistakes, even if they know their mistakes in their hearts, but they can't say it in their mouths."

Princess Changle was puzzled and asked, "Why can't you say it?" ”

Hua Qian swept in front of Changle's guard of honor and the lively melon-eating crowd not far away, and said: "Men's face problems, you see, so many people, and so many girls, men, always want face in front of girls." ”

Hua Qian's words are true, but they are very misleading.

Only people who have a good impression of each other will care about their image in the eyes of the other party.

Princess Changle instantly remembered the scene when Xue Qi was desperate to save her before, could it be that he was really interested in her? ?

Thinking about it like this, there were a little bubbles in her heart.

Changle stroked the hair around his ears a little uncomfortably, and was rarely a little shy, and said: "I understand what Sister Huang said, just like the picture book that Huazhi brought me a few days ago, which said that men always like to express themselves in front of women. Just like peacocks, male peacocks always like to show their beautiful tails to female peacocks, right? ”

But there is another sentence that she is embarrassed to say, and the book also says: It is called "courtship".

Hanasa: "......"

This kid has a future, she just dialed it slightly, and she made up for it so perfectly.

And, these picture books of Huazhi were asked for by Jinxin, right?

"Then he was still drunk in the rouge building last time, so what about me?" After all, Changle's brain has not yet bubbled, and she has always been haunted by the fact that Xue Qi rubbed her on the ground.

Well, that's really hard to explain. But who is Hanasa? She even dared to face the murderous Admiral, and she couldn't deal with a princess who was raised in the deep palace?

So, she replied calmly: "He can't be blamed for this." I guess there are two reasons for that. ”

"Which two?"

"First, maybe Xue Qi didn't recognize you at all that day, you think, the outfit we wore that day, maybe he just thought that we were the little eunuchs who went out to let off the wind in the palace. The so-called ignorant are not guilty. ”

Changle nodded thoughtfully: "Sister Huang, what you said makes a little sense. What about the second? ”

"Second, it's also possible that Xue Qi knows you."

Changle was anxious when he heard it: "If you know him, he dares to touch me?" ”

"Alas, don't worry, listen to me, maybe he recognized you, but you think, his master was also at the scene that day, and your teacup smashed down, almost making Xue Jinian's head bloom, as a subordinate, many times I can't help it." Hua Qian deliberately didn't understand it, with Chang Le's whimsical thoughts, she would make up for it by herself.

"You mean, it was Xue Jinian who ordered him to do that to me?"

See, she's thinking in the right direction.

Hua Qian didn't mean that he deliberately wanted to pull hatred for Xue Jinian, mainly because the hatred between these two people had already been too much, and there was not much more than her.

She can still fight for leniency for Xue Qi, why not?

After Hua Qian's simple pointing, Princess Changle suddenly woke up to the fact that everything was Xue Jinian's fault! Immediately, I gritted my teeth with hatred.

Seeing that Princess Changle was a little shaken, Hua Qian decided to make persistent efforts and add some sweetness to her.

So she said, "Do you remember the man in black who rescued us from the East Factory that night?" ”

"Yes." Changle nodded seriously, she remembered the black-clothed guest who carried her like a sack on her shoulders too deeply, although his posture of carrying her was not very elegant, and the posture of putting her down in the end was not kind enough, but he was still her savior. She had clear grievances and grievances, and after the matter was over, she also sent guards to Beijing to find the black-clothed guest, but unfortunately found nothing.

"He is Xue Qi."

Changle: "......!! ”

In fact, Hua Qian didn't know who the black-clothed guest who saved Changle at the beginning, but she guessed that it was Xue Jinian who saved her, and Xue Jinian was always inseparable, and the eight achievements were Xue Qi. It doesn't matter if it's not Xue Qi, anyway, as long as it can increase Changle's guilt and let go of the kneeling Xue Qi in front of him, it is understandable that she will appropriately help Xue Qi brush up some favorability.

Changle looked at Hua Qian in disbelief, and then at Xue Qi, the man knelt in place without saying a word, and didn't even give her a look. Pythagorean Library

"Sister Huang, you said, it was Xue Qi who saved me? How do you know? ”

"I asked. You know no, Xue Qi's martial arts in the East Factory are the best, so he took you one step ahead that day. The man who saved me was relatively poor, so he fell behind. I know that you are a kind-hearted person, and you must repay the grace of saving your life, so I asked him about it. ”

"Then why didn't you tell me before?"

"We were punished as soon as we came back, and I forgot about it for a while. Later, I saw that you were so fierce to Xue Qi, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept it for a while, so I wanted to explain to you slowly. Besides, no matter what Xue Qi's intentions were, he did offend you, so it is also appropriate to let him suffer some crimes. ”

Changle thought that every time she complained to Hua Qian about the Xue family's master and servant, the imperial sister was indeed excusing them, and according to her temperament, if the imperial sister told her in detail from the beginning, she might not necessarily accept it. She herself understood that the real change in her mentality was through one night in the Moon Palace, so even if she knew Xue Qi's original intention at the beginning, she would be just as annoyed.

But now it was different, her eyes suddenly softened, looked at Xue Qi's figure, and said, "I understand." ”

Princess Changle consciously saw through Xue Qi's thoughts, and thought that the reason why this man refused to apologize to her was because there were so many girls present.

No, she's going to clear the field!

With a raised finger, he crossed the line in front of everyone present: "You, all go down!" Stay away. ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Huazhi and Jinxin looked at each other puzzled, and they both saw two big question marks in each other's eyes, although they didn't understand what the two princesses were going to do, they still saluted according to their words and retreated away with a group of people.

Seeing that everyone had retreated far away, Princess Changle coughed, raised her head and chest, raised her neck proudly, and glanced at Xue Qi with her afterglow: "Well, you can say it." ”

The shallow flower of the peacemaker: "......"

She was so nonsense, it was nothing more than to give Xue Qi a step down, but she didn't expect Princess Changle to be so persistent in Xue Qi's confession.

She touched her nose and threw a look at the "male peacock" Xue Qi a little helplessly: Brother, I can only help you here, you are a real man, so I will apologize.

But obviously, Xue Qi, who was watching coldly from beginning to end, did not receive this signal, and he was still immersed in Hua Qian's nonsense theory. Although the two sisters spoke low, they couldn't stand his good ears and heard clearly.

Xue Qi couldn't help but ask in his heart, was it really because of this reason that he didn't admit his mistake?

He carefully analyzed his psychology and came to the conclusion that no matter whether Princess Changle's little palace maids were present or not, he would not admit his mistake.

Yes, hearing Princess Changle's question, she lifted her eyelids slightly, and said coldly: "What did you say?" ”

Princess Changle said proudly: "I said that you offended this princess that day, and you deserve to die, and I ask this princess for forgiveness." ”

Xue Qi frowned, and the scar on his face was slightly distorted: "......"

Hua Qian looked at Xue Qi's non-violent and non-cooperative posture, and knew that it was going to be finished, but he was afraid that he would have a hard top with Changle again, so he hurriedly persuaded on the side: "This palace knows that the affairs of the East Factory are busy, and Lord Admiral is at the time of employing people, so please don't be stubborn." ”

Glancing at Changle's face, she added: "Apologize to Princess Changle for a gift, and it is not an insult to Lord Xue." ”

Seeing that Xue Qi's face was even colder, in case she went back to Dongchang, the other party gave her small shoes, and Hua Qian said: "Lord Xue is so hard, is it really because of face problems?" Or ......"

She glanced at Changle again, and then bent over to Xue Qi's side with a smile on her face, and said in a voice that Changle could hear: "Or, Lord Xue thinks that bowing to Princess Changle and apologizing damages your manly prestige?" Alas, you don't understand this, girls in this world like gentle, intimate, and responsible men, so you can't be wrong at all if you say two nice words. After speaking, he threw a "you know" look.

Xue Qi's face completely darkened: "......"

Princess Changle, who had heard Hua Qian's words clearly, coughed uncomfortably, moved a few steps to the side, swept Xue Qi with his eyes, and quickly moved away, and her face began to heat again.

Taking advantage of the gap when Princess Changle was embarrassed to look here, Hua Qian added a few words in a low voice: "The overseer is very worried, don't let his old man sleep well." ”

Said quickly and quietly, after speaking, he raised his eyebrows and squeezed a bitter gourd face at Xue Qi, hoping that he could see his situation clearly, don't be like his master, stupidly put on a look of not being afraid of power, and turned her head, she was the one who suffered.

Xue Qi looked at Hua Qian's eyes with a strange face, and lowered his head again, he didn't know which of Hua Qian's words unexpectedly moved him, although the furrow between his eyebrows was deep, he still followed Princess Changle's words and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates offended the princess, and the crime deserves death, I beg the princess for forgiveness." After that, he kowtowed.

Princess Changle was immediately overjoyed, and she pretended to wave her hand generously: "Forget it, this princess is also a generous person, so I won't care about you." That's right, but the smile on his face can't hold back.

Hua Qian touched her chin and looked at Princess Changle with such a happy picture, saying that she was here to harm people, but who has ever seen that the scourge stared at the victimized with such a spring smile?

This girl, won't she be really tempted, right?

"Princess Changle has forgiven you for your innocence, why don't you leave quickly?"

Hearing this, Xue Qi didn't even say a word of thanks, slowly stood up, raised his head slightly expressionlessly, stepped on the silk handkerchief on the ground with a calm step, and flew away directly in the surprised gaze of Princess Changle?

The feet rose from the ground and disappeared like a harrier between the towers of the temple......

Princess Changle stretched out her arms, completely unbelievable that this man had walked so thoroughly: "You! You! ”

Flower branch walked up: "Princess......"

"Got it, got it. Shut up and go back to the palace! Princess Changle roared angrily, flicked her sleeves, and even her imperial sister forgot to say hello, and returned to Feiyun Palace with a mighty guard of honor......

If she stays any longer, she will follow in the footsteps of that stinky man and jump out of the palace wall to strangle him!

Looking at the back of Princess Changle in the distance, the voice was majestic and angry, and Hua Qian couldn't cry or laugh.

Yes, Fang Cai's words were in vain again, Xue Qi's disrespectful action must have stabbed Changle in his heart again, and he didn't know what ideas she would come up with to toss him in the future.

Hua Qian sighed, she couldn't control it, Xue Qi asked for more blessings.

looked at the imperial garden, which soon fell silent, and Hua Qian wordlessly lifted the corner of her skirt and hurriedly followed.

@@@

Although it was early spring, it was snowing again, the wheels were creaking and turning on the snow, Xue Jinian sat in the car with his eyes closed, and after leaving Huanyi Palace, he went to the celebrant again, and left the palace after finishing his errands. Although there is a palace ban, for Xue Jinian, this rule is useless.

Xue Qi sat on the wheel and drove the carriage for him.

What happened to Xue Qi today, some people had already told Xue Jinian one by one before Xue Qi came back. When Xue Qi came back, Xue Jinian didn't say anything, but just asked lightly: "Do you regret it?" ”

Xue Qi lowered his head, he knew what the Overseer was referring to, if it wasn't for his troubled day, Princess Changle would be seriously injured and difficult to recover, even if it was difficult to get out of the gate of Feiyun Palace, it would never be her turn to be so arrogant today.

"Subordinates know their mistakes."

"Do you know what to do next time?"

Xue Qi nodded: "My subordinates understand." ”

Xue Jinian snorted and said, "What did Princess Changning say to you in private?" ”

Xue Qi was stunned for a moment, and then thought of Hua Qian's extremely fast and low words when he came to him, and replied honestly: "She said to let her subordinates leave the palace early, so as not to make your old man sleep badly." ”

Xue Jinian: "......"

Elderly? Hehe!

The carriage soon arrived at the East Factory.

"Overseer, it's here." Xue Qi jumped out of the car and reflexively raised the curtain.

"Hmm."

The factory door opened quickly, and in the dimness, a figure quietly stepped forward, bent over and squatted on the ground as a footrest, allowing Xue Jinian to get off the ground smoothly.

Between getting up, the man whispered, "Overseer, there's someone in the house." After speaking, he bowed and retreated.

Xue Jinian frowned slightly, who would visit so late at night?

The characteristics of the profession and the personal preferences of the factory supervisor, the East Factory has rarely lit up at night, and most of the other places in the entire East Factory are dark except for the lights in the Imperial Prison.

Of course, this characteristic makes some people who want to rob the prison very excited, and they are eager to try, and the waves are very turbulent, but later it turns out that this is really a pit, and in these empty darkness, I don't know how many factory guards are hidden.

Come one to grab one, come two to grab a pair.

To anger people to death.
