Chapter 42: Entering the Palace

"The only one who can keep this secret is only one identity, and that is dumb."

Hongyan's eyes suddenly became cold, and Qin Kexin couldn't help but shudder when he looked at Qin Kexin.

At this moment, Qin Kexin seemed to understand what the red smoke meant.

That's right, Red Smoke just wants its own tongue.

A smile tugged at the corners of Hongyan's mouth, and at some point he had a sharp dagger in his hand.

When he walked towards Qin Kexin step by step, Qin Kexin couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva nervously.

"Don't worry, as long as you give me your tongue, I won't continue to embarrass your other family members."

The sound of red smoke was terrifying like an evil spirit from hell.

At this time, even Qin Kexin couldn't control herself and began to tremble.

Qin Kexin tried hard to restrain her nervousness, clenched her fists tightly, raised her head, and looked at the red smoke without fear.

"Okay, then you are the talker, and after taking my tongue, you must not embarrass Aunt Mei and Ah Mao anymore."

At this time, Hongyan frowned incomprehensibly, unable to understand Qin Kexin's thoughts.

"It's really strange for me to say that you are a girl, if I'm not wrong, these two people shouldn't have any blood relationship with you. Why do you have to protect both of them even if you don't want this tongue? ”

This was indeed something Hongyan didn't expect, he always thought that Qin Kexin had nothing to do with these two people, and he would definitely choose to save his life first.

If this was the case, Hongyan would be able to kill Qin Kexin without hesitation.

But he didn't expect Qin Kexin to choose this method of sacrificing his life for righteousness.

Even the red smoke was a little confused, why did Qin Kexin do this?

It was Qin Kexin's bright smile that answered Hongyan, "Although they are not my relatives who are related by blood, they are my relatives in my heart, and they are even closer than those who are related." ”

Just getting along for a while, Qin Kexin has completely regarded Aunt Mei and Ah Mao as his relatives, and in Hongyan's heart, Qin Kexin's behavior is tantamount to a moth to a fire.

But there was a hint of sophistication in Qin Kexin's eyes, and it seemed that even Hongyan didn't understand why people like Qin Kexin thought so simply.

"You girl is so stupid, obviously two people who have nothing to do with you, why do you sacrifice your life to save them?"

Qin Kexin showed a smile, but there was a hint of imperceptible bitterness in the smile.

"I didn't have any relatives since I was a child, and the two of them were like my relatives, and I didn't want them to be affected by me."

Qin Kexin sighed, but the sparkle in his eyes never diminished.

Now in Hongyan's eyes, Hongyan's heart suddenly had a wonderful feeling, the girl in front of her was like a brave moth, knowing that there was a flame in front of her, but she still had to rush forward.

In an instant, a certain emotion in my heart began to sprout slowly.

The dagger in Hongyan's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and the playful expression on his face disappeared.

"You're really different from what I imagined, and I don't want your tongue."

Red Smoke gave an elusive smile and turned to pick up the dagger and place it on the table.

This made Qin Kexin a little confused, just now Hongyan swore that he would cut out his tongue and let himself keep it a secret, but now Hongyan suddenly changed his mind.

This unpredictable and changeable man made Qin Kexin's heart feel strange.

"You're a strange man." Qin Kexin looked at the red smoke with a puzzled face.

replied to Qin Kexin, but it was just the silent smile of Hongyan.

"It doesn't matter, you don't have to know who I really am, and you don't have to know what I really think."

Hongyan said and turned to leave the room.

But Qin Kexin opened his mouth to stop the red smoke, "What's your name?" ”

Now the red smoke at the door paused slightly, he slowly turned his head, and the rest of his eyes glanced at Qin Kexin.

"Call me Wei Chiyan."

Yu Chiyan, what a strange name, Qin Kexin frowned slightly, he still couldn't figure it out in his heart, but as soon as he raised his head, Yu Chiyan's figure had already disappeared.

It didn't take long for Qin Kexin to also stand up and leave this room, Wei Chiyan was really a very strange person, and Qin Kexin couldn't have much contact with such a person.

In the next few days, Qin Kexin found that the business of Yinsilk Hall seemed to have returned to its original state.

There is a steady stream of customers every day, and everything seems to be back to its original appearance.

"Aunt Mei, how has business been in the past two days?"

Qin Kexin was busy embroidering in her hands, and raised her head to look at Aunt Mei and asked.

And Aunt Mei was putting away all the cloth drying on the bamboo pole at the moment, turned to look at Qin Kexin and said: "In the past two days, business has been as usual, and there is a big order, you can put it away first, this list needs to be made first." ”

Putting down the cloth in her arms, Aunt Mei wiped the water on her hands, "This list, but the royal people, our Silver Silk Hall, is now comparable to Jinyufang." ”

"Royal? What do you mean by that? Qin Kexin was interested, and he also put down the embroidery in his hand.

Aunt Mei smiled and took out a gilded invitation from her arms, "This is the emperor's edict, let us go to the palace to embroider clothes for Concubine Li, tomorrow, we will leave for the palace." ”

Qin Kexin took the invitation and looked at it, it was indeed the seal of the royal family, Qin Kexin couldn't help but feel that this invitation was so hot.

When you enter the palace, you will inevitably meet some people you don't want to meet.

Xiao Ruoqing, Xiao Ruoxue, Xiao Shujun, and ...... King Qi and Princess Qi......

Thinking of these people, Qin Kexin couldn't help but lower his head.

This business is an invitation issued by the royal family himself, so naturally it cannot be dismissed, if it angers the emperor, it will be a matter of losing his head.

Aunt Mei looked at Qin Kexin's strange appearance, and couldn't help but have some questions in her heart.

"What's wrong? That's a good thing! With the appreciation of the royal family, the reputation of our shop can be famous. ”

Aunt Mei's words are true, if this time can satisfy the emperor, the emperor will give a plaque, they will be the shop hand-picked by the royal family, at that time, Yinsitang has the protection of the royal family, and is naturally not afraid of bad business.

But these people he didn't want to see were all people that Qin Kexin was afraid of in his heart, Qin Kexin really couldn't convince himself to meet those people who had brought him so much harm, and then smiled at them casually.

Thinking of this, Qin Kexin was a little silent, but the resistance was disrespectful, and I am afraid that it was Aunt Mei and Ah Mao who were involved.

Aunt Mei and Ah Mao both have the grace of knowing themselves, and Qin Kexin is reluctant to let them suffer such a great humiliation because of herself, Qin Kexin frowned very entangledly.

After struggling for a long time, Qin Kexin made her choice.

"Okay, since this is the emperor's will, then naturally we can't disobey. Tomorrow we will get in the carriage and let's head to the palace! ”

Although Aunt Mei was happy in her heart, she did not miss the complicated expression change on Qin Kexin's face.

After hesitating for a moment, Aunt Mei decided not to ask so much, since Qin Kexin didn't want to say it, there must be Qin Kexin's reason.

"Okay."

……

The sun rose in the east, and the brilliance of the morning sun sprinkled on the corner of the courtyard, Qin Kexin got up early.

Maybe it was because he thought of the people he was going to see today, so Qin Kexin was not in the mood to continue to sleep.

Aunt Mei had already prepared the carriage and packed her bags, and Qin Kexin sat on the bed alone with nothing to do, looking out of the window with dull eyes.

With a "squeak", the door was pushed open, revealing Aunt Mei's delicately dressed face, Aunt Mei's face was filled with a soft smile, looking at Qin Kexin with a smile.

"The car is ready, let's get out."

Qin Kexin nodded, picked up the things that had been packed on the bed and went out.

The carriage staggered for more than two hours before it reached the gate of the city.

Qin Kexin opened the curtain and took a look because of curiosity in her heart, but she was shocked by the scene in front of her.

The red vermilion lacquer and the golden bronze door complement each other, and it looks like there is an unspoken domineering.

Qin Kexin couldn't help but look at it twice, and saw the straight city guards standing at the gate of the city, these soldiers were all energetic and radiant, Qin Kexin slowly retracted his head into the curtain.

The carriage came to the gate of the palace unimpeded, and it was a mean-looking old woman who came to greet Qin Kexin and Aunt Mei.

The old lady bowed extremely insincerely, "The old slave has seen Miss Qin and Miss Mei, and today on the order of the emperor, the old slave took the two to the residence. ”

Qin Kexin nodded, this old lady should look down on them, she has not seen anything in the palace, so she will inevitably have some contempt for them.

I followed the old lady to a side room, the environment was not bad, and there were some strange flowers planted around.

The fly in the ointment is that it's a bit dirty.

However, Qin Kexin can also understand, after all, they are just unknown tailors among the people.

Qin Kexin nodded, without saying a word, took out an ingots from his waist and stuffed it into the old grandmother's hand, "In the future, I hope that Mama will take care of it more in this palace." ”

As soon as she got the ingots, the old grandmother's expression suddenly changed, and her face was simply smiling like a flower.

"This is natural, Miss Qin is so smart, even if there is no old slave in this palace, she can naturally mix well."

Qin Kexin smiled and did not answer.

Although this ingots may not work, at least their life in the palace will be better, and sometimes they need to use money to settle some things.

After the old lady left, Qin Kexin began to take care of the garden by herself.

After removing the weeds in the courtyard and cleaning all the rooms, Qin Kexin put all their daily necessities in the room.

From now on, they may spend a month or two in this place, making the clothes of Concubine Li, which is a big project.
