When several people heard this, they immediately fell silent.

Although they had guessed in advance that there was a reason for this, when they heard it with their own ears that Qin Niang gave them a positive answer, their hearts were still heavy.

"Can't we really help you?" Fang Yuanyuan asked.

Qin Niang held her hand and said gratefully: "I am very grateful that you have this heart, but it is not appropriate for too many people to get involved in this matter at present." ”

Moreover, Song Huai is not a fool if he can achieve today's status, if the movement is too big, it will inevitably attract his attention, and when the time comes, she will not only find out nothing, but also affect several families.

"That's okay, we won't ask, I just hope you are careful in the palace, and everything must be your own safety." Fang Yuanyuan said, sighing.

Mu Zhixin's eyes were slightly red, and he whispered: "My sister has been inquiring about your situation for the past few days, and she only hates that she can't help." ”

Qin Niang comforted them for a while before standing up: "You sit here for a while, and I'll go over there and have a look." ”

A few people nodded obediently and generously let her go to greet others.

As soon as Qin Niang left the small flower hall of Fang Yuanyuan and the others, she took a detour to the pavilion at the back of the courtyard.

When she was in the boudoir in the past, she also liked the stop the most, and now the flowers in the garden are blooming, and sitting in the pavilion, you can enjoy the spring color of the garden.

Qin Niang looked at this familiar grass and tree, sighed at the changes in the world, and felt a little melancholy in her heart, just now she was afraid that Fang Yuanyuan and the others would bring up the topic of her entering the palace again, so they wanted to come out to breathe.

Unexpectedly, before she reached the pavilion, she saw a familiar figure standing there from a distance.

She turned around to leave, the person seemed to notice her movement, turned around, the dead gray eyes, as if instantly sprinkled with Chunhui, he caught up with her in a few steps, grabbed her wrist, and called in a somewhat dry voice: "Qin'er~"

Qin Niang's heart seemed to have been hit hard, and even the wrist he held trembled.

She took a few deep breaths before forcing herself to turn her face calmly and meet his handsome face: "I think our words have been made very clear in the palace that day. ”

He seemed much more emaciated.

Qin Niang's heart hurt all of a sudden.

She looked away, she couldn't bear to stare at his face anymore, and she didn't dare to imagine how he spent just a few days.

"Qin'er, I know that there were so many eyes and ears in the palace that day, you deliberately said that, now there is no one else here, why do you bother to hold it?" Gu Chen persistently stretched out his hand to pull her face over and forcibly looked at her, "You know, as long as you tell me that you have a hard time, I will believe it." ”

Qin Niang's eyes turned uncontrollably red, she obviously said such cruel things that day, why did he still be so persistent and waste his thoughts on her?

"Aren't I afraid that I will be unclear with Song Huai in the palace? Gu Gongzi, what about your self-esteem? Qin Niang pushed his hand away and took a few steps back, "You are so persistent now, it's just unwilling, it's just that I abandoned you, you Gu Gongzi thinks that even if you want to separate, it should be you who put it forward, and the initiative is in your hands, isn't it?" ”

Gu Chen shook his head: "No, Qin'er, no matter what, I want you, I just want you."

You, I won't have any other woman besides you! He took two steps forward and held her wrist again, for fear that she would not believe it, and he said solemnly, "I will enter the court as an official, if you feel that the status of being a businesswoman is too low, then I can create a world of people for you, and let you become one person under ten thousand people." ”

Qin Niang's eyes slammed, her heart was shaken fiercely, and she looked at him with wide eyes.

What did he just say?

He said he wanted to enter the court as an official?

Didn't he dislike being an official the most? He said that it was too troublesome to be an official, there were too many mundane affairs, and he liked to live a free and easy life, so he was in business.

However, now he says that he wants to enter the court and become an official!

"Qin'er, the Gu family has been scholarly for generations, and there are also people in the upper three generations who are officials, and the Gu family's foundation in the capital is also very deep, if I want to enter the court as an official, it is not difficult at all, and the saint will not object, I will definitely not let you be trapped in the palace alone, let alone make you feel that I, Gu Chen, am a man who can't give you anything but make money, and can't protect you."

"You wait for me for some time, and when I think of a way, I will rescue you from Song Huai."

Gu Chen's words struck Qin Niang's heart word by word, making her whole person fall into a trance.

"I've said such ugly things, why should you be difficult for yourself, you obviously don't like to be an official, why should you be wronged." Qin Niang choked up and said.

"No one will listen to what they say, and I have said a lot of cruel things before, but I know that those are not sincere, Qin'er, if you believe me, I will definitely do what I say." Gu Chen said, holding her face and kissing her lightly on the lips.

In order to avoid someone coming over to bump into him, he didn't want to do too much entanglement, but just advised: "You must tell me what you want to do first, don't act rashly, understand?" ”

In a word, he has already named him, he actually knows what she wants to do, and he is willing to help her.

Qin Niang's heart was warm and sweet, and she couldn't care about her posture, let alone disguise, she just nodded obediently.

Gu Chen saw that she listened, so he silently breathed a sigh of relief, and took advantage of the fact that no one was looking, and flashed out of the garden.

Qin Niang stood alone in the pavilion for a long time, and after a long time, the disordered heart returned to normal, and then she cleaned up her mood, returned to the inner courtyard, and helped the Lu family greet the guests for a while.

It's just that she didn't expect that Song Ru, the fourth princess of the Yang Mansion, also came.

When Qin Niang returned to the side of the ladies, Song Ru greeted her with a smile: "Sister Qin, this palace is uninvited today, you shouldn't mind, right?" ”

Qin Niang raised her eyebrows, she had always been very curious about this familiar princess, why she liked to come to her alone.

"Naturally, I won't mind, the fourth princess is willing to come, that's the big face of the Yang Mansion." After she saluted Song Ru in a proper manner, she said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Qin Niang also wants to thank the fourth princess for what happened in the imperial study." ”

If it weren't for the fourth princess who suddenly rushed in and wanted to sue that day, the emperor probably wouldn't have let her go so easily.

Since then, she has felt that this fourth princess is not as simple and willful as she seems on the surface, on the contrary, she is the smartest of all the princesses, and she knows how to use her appearance to confuse everyone's eyes.

"Little things,

Nothing to speak of. Song Ru didn't deny it unexpectedly, let alone pretend to be stupid, she smiled sincerely, "Anyway, I've been unpleasant to the imperial aunt for a long time, and it's good to be able to take the opportunity to step on her and let her suffer a loss." ”

She said it bluntly, but slightly playfully.

For such a smart and honest girl, Qin Niang really can't hate it, but she doesn't know what the other party's purpose is for getting so close to her.

"If the fourth princess has something to talk to Qin Niang, we can change places." Qin Niang also saw it, where did this fourth prince come to congratulate? She was clearly looking for her, so she lowered her voice and said.

At this time, there were people all around, and what the two of them said was naturally incomprehensible to others, but it did not prevent everyone from pricking up their ears to pay attention to the movement here.

"Sister Qin is really refreshing, no wonder those noble girls in Beijing like to play with Sister Qin." Song Ru said, taking her hand, "Then let's talk in another place." ”

Qin Niang knew this, so she deliberately raised her voice and said: "The fourth princess is not familiar with the Yang Mansion, so it is better for the courtiers to take the fourth princess there." ”

Song Ru nodded, with a shy and unspeakable look on her face: "Then I'll bother Miss Yang." ”

Qin Niang secretly "tsk" in her heart, look at this princess pretending to be really more like anyone else, others don't know and think she is in a hurry but embarrassed, how do you know that this fourth princess looks innocent on her face, but in fact, she has a lot of thoughts.

So, Qin Niang led Song Ru to the small courtyard where she lived before leaving the pavilion, let Qiu Tao and Qiu Xue guard outside, and the two of them entered the inner room.

The house was very clean, and it didn't look like no one was living there.

As soon as the two of them sat down, Qin Niang asked straight to the point: "The fourth princess has helped me many times, I don't know what the intention is?" ”

Song Ru brushed the non-existent dust on her shoulders and said with a smile: "It seems that you can't hide anything from Sister Qin." ”

Qin Niang pulled the corners of her lips, she was too lazy to correct Song Ru's name for her, this princess didn't know what was going on, the first time she saw her, she was going to call her sister and sister, which made her feel so worried.

She is a folk woman, how dare she be the princess's sister?

However, after she corrected it several times to no avail, she didn't bother to mention it again.

"If the fourth princess has something to say, just say it, as long as Qin Niang can do it, Qin Niang will definitely not refuse." Qin Niang ordered someone to make a pot of tea and come in, serve some snacks, and then send people out again.

She personally poured a cup of tea for Song Ru.

The room was filled with the smell of tea, and it was quiet for a while.

"Sister Qin, I really want to be friends with you, whether you believe it or not." Song Ru took a sip of tea and continued, "However, it's true that I want you to contribute." ”

Qin Niang raised her eyebrows and looked at her, and she was not in a hurry to ask.

She has always known that there is no good thing in this world for no reason, let alone a royal person.

"The fourth princess wants to deal with the crown prince." Qin Niang guessed.

Song Ru raised her eyebrows and looked at her, and said with a smile: "Sister Qin is really a smart person, I haven't said it yet, you guessed it, yes, I want to deal with Song Huai, and even want to pull him down from the position of the prince, and this idea has been around for a long time, so long that I don't remember it myself." ”

She put herself in an equal position with Qin Niang, and she no longer calls herself the palace.
