It seems that Yan Jian helped impeach the father and son of the Yang family, and he was showing favor to Song Xi with his actions.

Therefore, Song Xi is now willing to form an alliance with the Yan family.

However, it gave him a chance.

"If the prince of the county speaks, I will definitely bring it." Gu Chen nodded at Song Xi, and didn't want to talk to him anymore, "Then I'll leave." ”

Since Song Xi wants to be close to him, then he doesn't call him the "last general" or "minister" in front of him, and secondly, in Gu Chen's opinion, Song Xi is just an ambitious country thief, not a country lord.

As soon as Gu Chen left, Song Xi's smiling face changed instantly, his eyes stared gloomily at Gu Chen's background, why couldn't he see the disdain and disrespect for him in Gu Chen's expression?

It's just that so far, he can't tear his face with Gu Chen, if he can, he still wants to win this person over, after all, the talent that Song Huai once wanted to get, he is no exception.

Doesn't getting him mean holding the entire Yang family in your hands? So in the future, he asked Yang Qinyan to draw, can Yang Qinyan still not paint?

As long as he has the most advanced weapons, what is Song Yu worth? When the time comes, the entire Donglin Kingdom will not be up to him.

However, Gu Chen didn't care about what Song Xi was thinking, since the emperor allowed him to get off work, he couldn't wait to stay in the palace for even a quarter of an hour.

After leaving the palace, he rode straight to Gu's house.

In the morning, Dali Siqing and others united to impeach the Yang family, and after the matter of the dispersal of the dynasty, it spread, and Qin Niang was also prepared, she knew that after Song Yusheng's capture of the King of Lingling spread, those people would not be able to help it.

Sure enough, it had only been a few days since this matter spread, and these people were about to prepare to make a move against the Yang family.

"Miss, it is said that His Majesty has ordered the master and the eldest prince to return to Beijing, looking at this posture, he must have believed a little, and the slave is afraid that the master and the eldest prince will suffer some grievances as soon as they return to Beijing." Qiu Xue saw that Qin Niang still had the heart to sit by the fish pond and feed the fish, so she immediately said worriedly, "Miss, the slave maid can listen to what the people inside said, Your Majesty wants them to return to Beijing, no matter what means." ”

She is not afraid that the father and son of the Yang family will disobey the order and not return, but she is afraid that those doglegs will deliberately use crude means in order to curry favor with those impeachers.

The emperor is currently angry, and when the time comes, others will say that the Yang family despises the emperor's prestige, and I am afraid that the emperor will also believe it.

"No, it won't." Qin Niang said firmly, "Your Majesty only said that he would send them back to Beijing for interrogation in person, but he did not directly convict them, if the people who went to pass the decree dared to embarrass them, when it was confirmed that my Yang family was innocent, their death time would come, and the people who had been in the palace all the year round would never be so hasty in doing things, they were often more careful than anyone else, and they would never offend anyone easily, and they would always leave a few ways for themselves to retreat." ”

The person who can serve the emperor must be the smartest person in the palace.

Qiu Xue nodded, seeing that Qin Niang was so calm, she didn't have to worry, after all, this bureau had been laid out, everything was already under control, and there was nothing to worry about.

"Uncle is back." Qiu Tao looked at Gu Chen, who was striding towards this side in front of her, and said.

As soon as he walked in, he said something that surprised Qin Niang: "Song Xi specially stopped me and asked me to bring you a message, saying that in a few days, the palace of Changle County and the palace of Yan will jointly hold a hairpin banquet, and I specially invite you to go and make a picture for him." ”

Qin Niang raised her eyebrows: "Please me?" ”

She thought she didn't know Song Xi well, why did he invite her?

Also, he designed the Yang family with the front foot, and the back foot came to show favor to her, don't you think it's very contradictory?

Or does he think that she Yang Qinyan is the kind of stupid white sweet who has no brains?

"Yes, and besides, there was clearly a gesture of goodwill in his words." Gu Chen thought back to Song Xi's reaction when he saw him, and his demeanor when he talked to him, and always felt that this man was calculating something behind his back, "He also said that I should look for him if I have something." ”

"He is really a strange person while suppressing and framing the Yang family, and at the same time throwing an olive branch to me." Qin Niang pursed her lips, she said that she didn't like this kind of person.

Song Huai wanted to suppress the Yang family, it was because he couldn't get it, so he wanted to destroy it, but they didn't show who they were on the side now, and Song Xi wanted the Yang family to die.

I have to say that this Song Xi is much more insidious than Song Huai.

"Your relationship with Yan Jing is not good, he specially invited you, I don't think you have a good heart, otherwise, you better not go." Gu Chen looked at her and said with some worry in his tone, "I'm afraid that they will do something bad to you at the banquet." ”

After all, when the time came to enter the banquet, men and women sat separately, and if she had anything, he really couldn't take care of her.

They are above board, but they are not even, and some of them are insidious.

"What are you afraid of, I also want to know, as far as my relationship with Yan Jing is concerned, what is the purpose of him as a county prince who specially invited me." Qin Niang looked at him, her eyes were full of firmness and said, "Don't worry, I will keep a few more eyes, it won't be so easy to be calculated." ”

She lives again, she will not be so stupid anymore, knowing that the other party is uneasy and kind, and she is still stupidly waiting for others to calculate.

"Qin'er, you know that I have always wanted to protect you behind me, just let me deal with those insidious villains alone, if you don't like anything, you can just leave it alone, just help me count the money in the house, anyway, I Gu Chen has a lot of money." Gu Chen held her hand and put it in his hand with pity and pinched it again and again.

Qin Niang smiled: "I'm not a woman who only knows how to stand behind a man and have nothing to do, I also want to be on a par with you, face the good and bad with you, and become your real virtuous helper, not an ignorant vase who will only stay in the house and embroider." ”

Gu Chen's heart warmed, and at the same time he felt very sour, when did his woman need to work so hard? His woman should be like a flower, blooming wantonly, regardless of what others say.

However, since she wanted to do it, he didn't want to stop her.

If she can't, then he'll push her behind her back.

Song Xi said that he wanted to invite Qin Niang to paint him, not to have fun, so he sent someone to Gu's house the next day to deliver the post, and Qin Niang also accepted it.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the hairpin feast.

The banquet was held in the palace of Changle County.

This is the first time Qin Niang has come to the palace of Changle County, just like the first time she went to the palace of the king of Ling, the moment she entered the door, her mood was as complicated.

The servants of the palace of Changle County were obviously explained in advance, and they knew that Qin Niang came to paint, so they were polite, and after Qin Niang handed over the post, someone personally introduced her into the mansion.

"Yo, Mrs. Gu is here." In the distance, a shrill voice came over, "I heard that the Yang family is currently under strict investigation by His Majesty, I thought that Young Lady Gu must be so worried in the mansion that she couldn't swallow at this time, but I didn't expect you to have the heart to come to the banquet, it's really strange." ”

Qin Niang didn't remember the owner of the voice very well, so she stopped, looked sideways at the owner of the voice, and saw a woman dressed as a woman wearing the head of Xie's gold shop swaying over step by step.

The woman was in her early thirties, and her round face was covered with a thick layer of powder, and when she smiled, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes were revealed.

Even if Qin Niang doesn't remember this woman, she still has some impression of her dress, after all, in this capital, it is rare to see a woman who can show such grace and luxury as such a jewel and vulgarity.

"It turned out to be Mrs. Fan, disrespectful." Qin Niang bowed slightly to the other party, and smiled, "Mrs. Fan is really dressed up today, presumably no one can take Mrs. Fan's brilliance today." ”

This Mrs. Fan is Murong Shi, the wife of Fan Chiwu of Dali Temple, Qin Niang saw her once at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and at that time, many people at the banquet brought the fake head of the Tang family's gold shop, and this Murong family was no exception.

"There haven't been any cases of corruption in my mother's family, so why can't I dress up more glamorously?" Murong said, raised his hand and stroked his sideburns, and said proudly, "Moreover, these jewelry of mine were bought and given to me by my mother's brothers with the money they earned seriously, but it is you, Mrs. Gu, now that your mother's family is being investigated by Your Majesty, you really have to dress modestly, so as not to be too eye-catching, and someone will report it to Your Majesty." ”

As she spoke, she covered her lips with a handkerchief and giggled.

Qiu Tao and Qiu Xue stood beside Qin Niang, looking at this Murong Clan's eyes full of disdain, even those of them who were not very good at making their brains could hear the irony in Qin Niang's words just now, this Murong Clan really thought that others were praising her!

It's stupid.

"So, that's really what happened!" Qin Niang hooked her lips, "Then Mrs. Fan should enjoy this moment." "Because after today, I'm afraid you won't have such a chance in the future!

After speaking, she nodded at the other party, and led the two maids to follow the guide to the other courtyard gate.

When she couldn't see the Murong clan behind her, Qiu Tao couldn't help but pout: "That Murong clan is really funny, she really thinks that wearing expensive jewelry is the most beautiful and dazzling person in this banquet, look at her makeup, she can shake off a layer of powder with a smile." ”

"She is indeed the only one dressed like that in this scene, and she is naturally eye-catching." Qiu Xue said and laughed to herself.

Qin Niang glared at her, Qiu Xue was immediately silent, she was so happy for a while that she almost forgot that this was the Changle County Palace, not the Gu Mansion.

The maid who led the way did not dare to interject, but lowered his head and led them to a pavilion in the garden, where he could basically see the whole panorama of the garden.

"Mrs. Gu, the pen and ink are ready, you can sit here for a while, and when everyone comes, you can paint." After the maid finished speaking, she withdrew from the gazebo.

Qin Niang was just about to sit down, and she saw a long-lost figure walking towards this side.
