Su Mian didn't want to see Lin Qingqing feel guilty and uneasy all the time because of this, after all, Lin Qingqing had the right to choose to protect his family.

And thinking about it, even if Su Mian experienced that kind of scene by herself, she was not sure that she could do better than Lin Qingqing.

Therefore, even if she knows these reasons now, she feels a lot sorry for Lin Qingqing, and she will not blame the other party.

After all, when facing these things alone at that time, Lin Qingqing must have been very helpless and scared, and she, as a friend, knew nothing about all this.

For a while, Su Mian's mood was also very complicated, she walked in front of Lin Qingqing, stretched out her hand to wipe Lin Qingqing's tears, and said gently: "Qingqing, don't apologize, I don't blame you, it's not you who did the wrong thing, I have too much energy to care about Gu Zhixing during that time, I don't know that you have experienced so many things, and my friend is too dissatisfied." ”

"Don't say that......" Lin Qingqing saw that Su Mian knew that he felt guilty, and he became even more uneasy for a while.

Su Mian laughed, stretched out his hand and touched Lin Qingqing's forehead: "Okay, I won't say it, then you are not allowed to say it, we will still be friends in the future." ”

Lin Qingqing's heart was full of emotion, he looked at Su Mian deeply with his mouth shut, and nodded heavily: "Hmm." ”

The two of them talked, and the atmosphere was much better than before, and Lin Qingqing cared about Su Mian again: "Ah Mian, tell me who those two people were just now, you are in Nanzhou, how are you doing?" ”

When it comes to life in Nanzhou, Su Mian can't help but think of Lei Minmin, who died because of her.

Although everyone said that she couldn't be completely blamed for this incident, it was the prince who was already suspicious of the Taifu family, but she still felt that if it weren't for her, Lei Minmin might just be under house arrest in the prince's mansion and wouldn't die.

So Su Mian subconsciously didn't want to mention everything about Nanzhou, Gong Yuyi and Fu Shutong had special identities, and she didn't want to reveal too much before the two of them settled down in the capital.

So Su Mian only said to Lin Qingqing: "They are my friends, they have helped me and Gu Zhixing a lot, this time in Nanzhou is actually not as difficult as you imagined, now we haven't come back safely, let's not mention it, you tell me about the academy, and Liu Ce, how did he deal with it in the end, has there been any major incident in the capital recently?" ”

Lin Qingqing didn't have the character to get to the bottom of things, Su Mian turned the topic back, and she also took the opportunity to say: "The academy is very good, after all, there is the emperor in charge, no one dares to take advantage of your absence, and Fuji Zixing has always been very responsible, most of the things in the academy are handled by him, his ability is obvious to all, Liu Ce's handling results have not yet come out, but people are now locked in prison, I heard that they are served by the criminal law every day, and life is definitely worse than death, as for the major events in the capital, ......"

Lin Qingqing paused, seemingly a little unspeakable.

Su Mian saw that her expression was wrong, and she became nervous, and asked, "Why didn't you say it?" ”

Lin Qingqing sighed, her face was very depressed, and she said unhappily: "Song Yanran is pregnant, and now she is in the palace all day long, Manzhi was deliberately made difficult by her, and she knelt all night to find a reason. ”

Song Yanran has been in the palace for three or four months, and it is normal to be pregnant, but I am afraid that only Song Yanran is happy for this matter.

Concubine Qi has always wanted to suppress the Song family, but I am afraid she never thought that the two concubines entered the palace at the same time, and the one who got pregnant first would be Song Yanran.

For a while, Su Mian's face sank, but she was very puzzled: "It stands to reason that when she is just pregnant and her first child has not yet sat down, shouldn't she be so public, and no one cares about her?" ”

Lin Qingqing pursed her mouth, she looked at Song Yanran unpleasantly, she still remembered Song Yanran's previous purchase/murder, and she looked down on this person in her heart, so naturally she wouldn't expect anything good.

Her face was full of disdain and contempt, and she sneered: "Mrs. Song wishes that something would happen to her, how could she care about her, but after Grandpa Guo came back, she restrained herself a little, but she was still very arrogant, everyone said that if Song Yanran really gave birth to the prince safely this time, I am afraid that the position of the queen will be her." ”

Su Mian's mood also became bad.

If Song Yanran really succeeds in becoming the queen, I am afraid she will be even more arrogant in the future, she holds a grudge so much, she will definitely remember that Su Mian helped Shen Manzhi.

Maybe even Su Mian will hold a grudge together, as well as Song Linlang and Mrs. Song, these people who have offended Song Yanran before are probably targeted by her one by one.

As soon as she thought of this, Su Mian's face became solemn, but there was no way, she didn't want Lin Qingqing to worry about it, so she only said to her: "Forget it, don't worry about it, anyway, even if we don't want her to be the queen, this matter is not something we can control, let it be." ”

At the banquet in the evening, all the people invited were friends of Su Mian and Gu Zhixing.

Lin Qingqing and Sheng Suqin sat next to Su Mian.

Lin Qingqing still doesn't like Sheng Suqin very much, in her opinion, Sheng Suqin has always been too strong, and she seems to be very indifferent and not easy to communicate.

Everyone finally met each other, and the atmosphere at the banquet soon rose, and everyone's faces were full of joy.

But just when it was at its highest, Qinglan led a person in from outside. Scale Literature

The people in the house all changed their faces when they saw the people behind Qinglan. They all stood up and prepared to salute: "See the emperor." ”

Gong Yuyi and Fu Shutong exchanged a look, each other was a little nervous, and stood behind the crowd and saluted.

Gu Zhao walked in quickly, stretched out his hand to help Gu Zhixing and Su Mian's arms, and said to everyone gently: "No need to be polite, I ran out secretly, there is no need to be restrained, what happened just now is still what, if everyone feels the pressure and is not happy because of my arrival, then it is wrong with me." ”

Although he said so, his status was noble, because of his arrival, everyone was still a little nervous, and the conversation and laughter were much more restrained.

However, Su Mian didn't have any special reaction, just looked at Gu Zhao and said: "If Your Majesty is interested in banquets, what kind of banquets in the palace are not, why not sneak out, we don't have anything to do here." ”

Gu Zhao was not angry because of Su Mian's directness, but was still a little depressed, and said in a low voice: "How can the master be so polite to me, I haven't seen you for a long time, although Uncle Huang said that you are fine, I am still a little worried, so I want to come out to see you, this time, it has been hard." ”

After some polite words, Su Mian pulled Gu Zhao to sit down: "It's all over, don't mention it again, just eat and drink well today." ”

Gong Yuyi was a little surprised, he didn't expect the little emperor of Xisheng to look so approachable, just sitting beside Su Mian so obediently, like a big lion that had been smoothed, there was no threat at all.

But when he stared at it, Gu Zhao seemed to notice something, and looked at it suddenly, his eyes were deep and cold, and he didn't have any emotion at all, and in an instant, Gong Yuyi's scalp was tense, so nervous that he even forgot to breathe, and hurriedly looked away.

Sure enough, he thought too much, Gu Zhao's closeness and easy-going were just because he was by Su Mian's side, just like Gu Zhixing, he was only patient with one person, and what others felt from him was indifference and unkindness.

Gu Zhao glanced at Gong Yuyi, although he knew the identity of the other party in his heart, he didn't say much, as if his purpose for leaving the palace today was really just to see Su Mian, and he didn't want to care about other things.

And it didn't take long for someone to come again.

Shen Ningjie carried the gift of the visit, and as soon as he entered the house, he said first: "I am a little busy with official business, I came late, I brought a little gift to the princess, this is my sister-in-law Ye Luying, I also want to join in the fun, I don't know if the princess can welcome it?" ”

Everyone is coming to the front, and Su Mian will not open his mouth to drive people away on Wednesday.

She just felt a little strange, she and Shen Ningjie were not too familiar, and this time she would invite each other to thank Shen Ningjie for going to the post station to pick them up.

As for Shen Ningjie's sister-in-law, she is even less familiar with them, why did she come along?

Although Su Mian was full of doubts, he still warmly invited the two of them to sit down, and said with a smile: "Lord Shen is too polite, please take a seat, there are many people today, please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality." ”

Shen Ningjie also followed with a few polite words, and then prepared to take Ye Luying to find a place to sit down.

The subordinates had just prepared their seats, right next to Fu Shutong.

But Ye Luying's gaze was firmly fixed on Gu Zhixing.

As soon as Shen Ningjie wanted to talk to her, he saw her walking straight in the direction of Gu Zhixing.

For a moment, the eyes of the room were focused on them.

Su Mian glanced at Ye Luying hesitantly, when she followed behind Shen Ningjie just now, she only felt that she looked gentle and had no sense of existence, but at this moment, Su Mian faintly felt uncomfortable, like ...... The crisis was felt.

Ye Luying didn't care about the ground, no matter what the people present thought of her, she still walked straight towards Gu Zhi, stood beside him and asked, "Lord Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I burned incense and worshiped the Buddha day and night, but fortunately, you came back safely now." ”

Gu Zhixing frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked at Su Mian's face.

Su Mian stood beside Shen Ningjie and stared at him directly.

In an instant, Gu Zhixing instantly became nervous, and said indifferently: "Thank you Miss Ye for your kindness, I am going to find my princess, since she is fine, we will come back safely." ”

"It's empty, can I sit here?" Ye Luying ignored the other party's indifference and stubbornly spoke.

Saying these words actually took her a lot of courage, but she just didn't want to care about it, she had waited for so long, and it was difficult to sleep and eat for so long, and now that she finally saw Gu Zhixing return safely, she was more excited than ever.

Shen Ningjie felt that something was wrong, and warned in a low voice with a cold face: "Xiaoying, come here!" ”

Ye Luying pursed her lips stubbornly, unheard of Shen Ningjie's request.
