The queen nodded with satisfaction, and said to Qiu Lin again: "Autumn Pavilion Lord, tomorrow afternoon, this palace will set up a tea party in the Imperial Garden, and invite you to come to participate with Deputy Pavilion Master Su!" ”

Qiu Lin hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for the invitation of the queen mother!" ”

Qiu Lin still has a good impression of this queen, and she has been taken care of by the queen in those years.

The queen has a gentle temperament, she doesn't like to compete with others for favor and power, and she is indifferent to everything, but she is really good to the imperial concubine, her cousin, plus she herself even gave birth to two princes and died, and then she didn't come out again, and she also regarded Wen Qixiao and Wen Qilun as her own biological children, and Aiwu and Wulian also took her with a lot of light.

The queen was very satisfied with Qiu Lin's generous performance, with a smile between her eyebrows, and explained a few words to Wen Qixiao, asking him to take Qiu Lin and them into the palace tomorrow, and then let them go to socialize.

The imperial concubine's gaze kept following Qiu Lin, and the queen saw everything in her eyes, patted the back of her hand a few times, and comforted: "It's been a long time, you should let it go." If you have something to say, let's talk about it in private. ”

Wen Qixiao took Qiu Lin to meet the royal family members one by one, and the older ones all had a little unnatural expression after seeing Qiu Lin, some were surprised, some were curious, and some were watching a good show.

When Wen Qixiao brought Qiu Lin to King Xiang to introduce him, that King Xiang played his cards out of common sense, glanced at Wen Qixiao and asked with a hint of ill will: "Lord Qiu Pavilion, has anyone told you that you are very similar to a person?" ”

Qiu Lin knew who he was referring to, but he still showed that he didn't know anything on his face, and replied, "The grass people heard that King Qi said that he was very similar to one of his old people. ”

King Xiang smiled a little ruffian: "It's not just very similar!" It's exactly the same! Does the Qiu Pavilion Lord know who that old man is? ”

Qiu Lin just wanted to pretend that he didn't know, but was interrupted by Wen Qixiao: "Sixth, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person." ”

"......" King Xiang shrugged, raised his eyebrows and said: "If the imperial brother doesn't let him say it, then the king won't say it." He turned around and left, and before leaving, he gave Qiu Lin a meaningful look, lest the world be chaotic.

Qiu Lin sneered in her heart, fortunately she was the person who was similar, otherwise no matter what her relationship with Wen Qixiao was, I am afraid that she would be so disgusted by him.

Wen Qixiao was so frightened by King Xiang that he was about to come out in a cold sweat, he hadn't found a chance to show Qiu Lin all this, he was almost going to be given a bad thing by this bad boy tonight, which also made him understand that it was good to hurry up and confess to Qiu Lin, there are too many people who have seen Princess Liu Jingyi Qi in this Jingyang City, and if they are not careful, they will be told the truth by Qiu Lin, then their relationship just together may come to an end.

After thinking about it, I decided to cut through the mess quickly, and when I returned to the inn in the evening, I confessed to Qiu Lin, and it was better to say it by myself than to get the news from outsiders.

After thinking about it, he said to Qiu Lin: "I want to tell you something when I go back at night, a very important thing. ”

Qiu Lin also vaguely guessed what he was going to say, so he had to reply: "Okay! ”

Next, Wen Qixiao took her and Su Yun to meet some high-ranking officials and officials of the household department, Qiu Lin and Su Yun met one by one, these may intersect in the future, and it is inevitable to deal with them, take advantage of this opportunity to get acquainted with all of them and facilitate exchanges after they are familiar.

On the other side, Qiu Jing and Qiu Xia, along with King Wei and Zheng Yang, were also entertaining among the Yasukuni officials who came and went.

Qiu Jing already looks very sophisticated at a young age, calm and introverted, with thoughtful etiquette, because he is still young, he doesn't drink, but just holds the juice and respects.

And Qiu Xia also put away her usual jumping temperament, obediently followed Qiu Jing's side and stayed quietly, and did the etiquette that the royal family should have was very in place, it seemed that this little county lord was also a beautiful lady in everyone, it was really embarrassing for Qiu Xia.

The old emperor sitting above looked at King Wei, Zheng Yang, Qiu Jing and Qiu Xia in the banquet, and then thought of his own prince and grandson, and once again disliked and saddened, they are also descendants of the royal family, why is the gap so big?

Turning his head to look at his youngest daughter, he saw that he was about the same age as the two children, other people's children were stable and sensible, and his own children were still children.

sighed lightly, took the little princess's little hand, and said to her, "Yun'er, do you want to play with that Yuanxia County Lord?" ”

The little princess happily asked, "Can I play with her?" ”

The old emperor nodded: "Yes!" You see that she is lonely with a group of men as a girl, so shouldn't you also do your best as a princess to entertain this guest? ”

So the little princess happily went to play with Qiuxia.

At first, Qiu Xia was still able to dress upright and behave very dignified, but she met someone who was even more off-hook and naughty than her, and slowly her true nature was revealed, and the two began to talk and laugh unscrupulously, and after a while, the two were as close as old friends who had known each other for a long time.

The old emperor was very happy to see these two children playing together.

Zheng Yang and the others saw that someone could play with Qiuxia well, so they went to socialize with peace of mind.

Qiu Lin glanced at the children from time to time, and saw that they were all coping well, so he was relieved, and let them go.

Time passed quickly, in the back and forth of conversation and acquaintance, before you knew it, it was already very late, the old emperor and many concubines in the harem left early, and the ministers also left the table one after another, but the envoys of Shan Li and Qiu Lin were still forced to stay by a group of people and left until the end.

Out of the palace, everyone consciously left a carriage for Qiu Lin and Wen Qixiao to ride, and the others went straight to the inn where they stayed after getting into the carriage and went back to rest, everyone was tired enough to choke today.

The last carriage walked unhurriedly, and in the carriage, Qiu Lin leaned on Wen Qixiao and closed his eyes to take a nap.

She drank a lot of wine tonight, as a "civilian", those royal relatives, high-ranking officials and officials want to drink with her, how can she not drink it, she can only drink cup after cup, and in the end she is already dizzy, if it weren't for Wen Qixiao next to her, maybe she would have been drunk and laid down.

She moved uncomfortably, groaned softly, and cried out of thirst.

Wen Qixiao hugged her tightly in pain, kissed her forehead lightly, took a water bladder from the position next to her, fed her a few sips, and then took another water bladder, coaxed her and said, "Come, drink this sobering soup, it won't be so uncomfortable to drink." ”

Qiu Lin obediently drank a few sips, but the taste was slightly bitter and a little unknown, anyway, she didn't like the taste, she frowned and barely drank a few sips before she could drink it, Wen Qixiao coaxed her to reluctantly drink a few more sips. Qiu Lin breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where did you get the sobering soup?" It's still hot. ”

Wen Qixiao explained with a smile: "This is sent by the concubine. ”

Qiu Lin answered, and then leaned on him and fell asleep groggily, until he didn't wake up at the inn, helplessly, he could only carry her back to the room.

Meng Xi and Li Yi waited in Qiu Lin's room early, and as soon as Wen Qixiao put her on the bed, Meng Xi took over the rest of the work, Wen Qixiao wanted to do it himself, but Meng Xi insisted that he go to wash and rest first, and they would just come to these things.

Wen Qixiao couldn't resist them, so he could only go back to his room to rest.

Lying on the bed tossing and turning for a long time, the thought of sleeping next door to the lovely person made it itching, and finally Wen Qixiao sneaked into Qiu Lin's room unknowingly. Stretched out his hand and hugged Qiu Lin into his arms, only then did he feel very down-to-earth, kissed her red little mouth, and closed his eyes and slept very satisfied.

The next morning, when Qiu Lin woke up, as soon as he opened his eyes, he met Wen Qixiao's deep black eyes.

She was accustomed to the problem of the two sharing the same bed, and she was not much surprised, and wanted to get up and dress after saying hello, but Wen Qixiao pressed her back to the bed, and the two lay face to face side by side.

Wen Qixiao looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Qiu Lin looked at him puzzled, waiting for him to speak, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear a word, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" This early in the morning, I want to talk and stop, could it be that I made a fool of myself at the dinner last night? ”

Wen Qixiao was laughed at by what she said: "Your performance last night was normal, and there were no accidents. Instead, his face tightened, and he said solemnly: "It's me who has something to tell you." ”

Qiu Lin turned around and lay down on his side, stretched out his left index finger to hook a strand of his hair and played, and said, "Do you want to talk about the topic you talked about last night?" ”

Wen Qi Xiao paused for a moment and nodded stiffly: "Hmm! ”

Qiu Lin sighed, stopped him from speaking, and said, "What do people who have already become ancients have something to say." ”

Wen Qixiao didn't know Qiu Lin's psychology, thinking that she didn't know the truth yet, but he had to explain it clearly, and he couldn't let her misunderstand that he fell in love with her because of her appearance, and she was not anyone's stand-in.

He turned over and tied Qiu Lin between his arms and the bed, in case she reacted too violently after hearing the truth, took a deep breath and said, "I must make it clear to you today, I don't want there to be any mustard and pimple between you and me in the future." You promise me first, you should be calm and not excited after listening to it, okay? ”

Qiu Lin saw that he was so serious about telling the past, but she wanted to hide as a snail when she was at the end, a panic flashed on her face, and she said urgently: "You better stop talking, I don't want to hear it." ”

Looking at the flustered Qiu Lin, Wen Qixiao only thought that she had guessed the truth with her intelligence, and she didn't know that she was afraid that he would know the truth like this. Now she wants to recognize him very much, but she is afraid that he will not be able to accept that she has deceived him like this after knowing the truth, so she always retreats from the door.
