Nalan Jinxiu wore women's clothes when she attacked the saint, which made her a little unaccustomed. The palace clothes of Nanchu are different from those of Daning, and they are more complicated, especially the waist, which is wide and tight to show the beauty of the woman's lines.

"Ah Qing, will it be a little tight, why do I feel that I have difficulty breathing?" Nalan Jinxiu felt that this was really too much, and she was very uncomfortable.

"It's that you are used to wearing men's clothes casually, this corset is not tight, your waist is thin, and it will look better if you want to change to a smaller one. ”

Nalan Jinxiu had a bitter face: "You can spare me, if you are one size smaller, then I will simply be strangled by you." ”

Bian Yanqing smiled rarely. The princess usually has a special maidservant waiting, but the young master doesn't like it. said that when she saw their delicate appearance, she was full of pity, and she was reluctant to call at all.

Today, Nalan Jinxiu's diet and daily life are taken care of by Bian Yanqing himself.

finally put on the palace clothes, and Bian Yanqing called Mama to tie Nalan Jinxiu's hair. Her hair is extremely beautiful, dark and thick, her chin is pointed when her long hair is pulled high, and her neck is thin and long, which is not good to look at.

Because the palace costume is light cyan, Bian Yanqing chose a jasper forehead ornament. The emerald green of the water droplets reflects the pale skin, and the skin is as transparent as jade.

"It's beautiful. Bian Yanqing said to the silhouette in the bronze mirror.

Nalan Jinxiu didn't have time to care about whether she looked good or not, and she had shown impatience with her current outfit. Now, she's getting too lazy to waste time on it.

"Let's go!" Nalan Jinxiu forgot the women's clothes she was wearing, and also forgot that the skirt of this skirt was very long, and her steps were a little big and she almost fell. Fortunately, Bian Yanqing, who was beside her, reacted quickly and reached out to support her.

Mu Li, who was standing outside the door, saw this scene and dodged into the house. Seeing that Nalan Jinxiu was still bent over, he asked anxiously, "What's the matter, but you twisted your foot?"

"Yes. Nalan Jinxiu's eyebrows furrowed.

Mu Li knew that she was in pain, so he didn't care about anything at the moment, and helped her over the chair and sat down. Then he half-knelt on the ground and picked up her feet to examine her.

Nalan Jinxiu doesn't feel anything, she is now very suitable for her identity as a man, and she gets along with Mu Li like a brother. When they are wandering outside, there are fewer rules between them.

Bian Yanqing felt that it was inappropriate, there was a difference between men and women, and besides, it was such a private place for her feet, how could she let a man see it? She took a step forward, also half-knelt on the ground, and said coldly: "Young master, the slave maid will rub it for you." ”

Nalan Jinxiu nodded: "The injury is not serious, I can still walk if I slow down." ”

After Bian Yanqing's examination, it was found that the injury was not serious, but the ankle was obviously swollen, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to walk. She asked worriedly: "If you feel pain, it is better to enter the palace tomorrow." ”

There are a lot of rules when facing the saint, and it is estimated that there is no time to even sit down. If it's just normal times, how can you hold on to a foot injury?

"It's okay, I can hold it. Nalan Jinxiu slowly kneaded it with medicinal wine, and secretly sighed in his heart that his years were not good.

Mu Li knew that he had just lost his temper, but he really couldn't control his emotions about her. He knows how to massage, her feet are fine, and he can make the pain a little lower.

Although it was close at hand, Bian Yanqing's attitude just now reminded him that this place is no better than the outside, and they always have to avoid suspicion when they get along. He didn't care about fame or anything, but she couldn't.

Nalan Jinxiu's sedan chair stopped at the gate of the palace, and if you go inside, you can only walk in. There is an inhumane rule in the palace of Southern Chu, that is, except for the lord of the country and the queen mother, no one is allowed to use the foot.

Even when the queen was in the palace, she could only walk. It is said that this is a rule set by the ancestors, so that future generations can remember that the ancestors struggled not easily, and not just greedy for enjoyment.

The injured foot ached with every step. Nalan Jinxiu is now a tolerant person, she doesn't walk fast, but her posture is dignified enough.

Although she is always adrift outside, especially when in the barracks, there are not so many rules. But the chairs that A-Niang invited to teach her the rules were all the best etiquette gentlemen in Daning, and her etiquette has always been excellent.

When she arrived at the imperial study, Qu Qingze had just finished meeting with the Minister of Military Aircraft. Things were not satisfactory, and his mood was naturally not happy, so he didn't have a good face when he saw Nalan Jinxiu.

Nalan Jinxiu is not surprised at all about this, how many of these people who stand at the top can be generous to others? Even if they really have a gentle and generous temperament, they will be worn away by power.

"The folk girl Xu Jinsheng has seen the lord of the country. "Nalan Jinxiu is kneeling and bowing, according to the rules of Nanchu, she has to bow three times and bow nine times.

Qu Qingze thought that the daughter of Princess Qinghe must be arrogant, his imperial sister had always been like this, but he didn't expect that she was a person who knew the rules. The gloom in his heart dissipated a little, and he gave a seat to those who stood below.

"Your mother has already begged me for a title for you, and the one she chose doesn't like it, so she has already asked the people in the Ministry of Rites to start writing words. ”

Nalan Jinxiu lowered his head slightly, looking very humble: "But it's up to the lord of the country to decide." ”

"I heard that you haven't been in Zhenbei Wangfu, but you went to the army, or maybe you got married?"

Nalan Jinxiu didn't know how much Qu Qingze knew about her, such as the Jingyun Ling in her hands, and her marriage with the third brother. Since he chose to be tempted, she simply pretended to be confused to the end.

"The folk girl has always grown up in the Zhenbei Wangfu and has never been to the army. ”

Qu Qingze saw that she didn't say a word about the marriage and was not annoyed, but asked again: "Have you ever been married?"

This kind of thing can't be hidden, although the third brother must have attracted much attention to Nan Chu. Their marriage may cause her trouble, but it is not okay not to admit it.

Besides, Qu Qingze must already know, and asking her now is nothing more than trying to pull the topic up. Nalan Jinxiu could only nod.

"Oh, who's the match?"

"Ji Hongye. Nalan Jinxiu said lightly: "But because of the discord between the husband and wife, I took the letter of resignation." ”

"But Ji Hongye, the head of the cabinet of the Ning Dynasty. ”

"Exactly. ”

Qu Qingze's expression was gloomy: "It's a character." ”

Seeing that Nalan Jinxiu didn't react, he said: "Daning and I Nanchu have always been good friends, and it is very common for them to intermarry or something. Don't be sad, I also have a good man in Nanchu, and when the time comes, I will find a good family for you. ”

Nalan Jinxiu looked up at Qu Qingze, this time she didn't make a deferential attitude. Instead, he looked at him calmly and said slowly: "My mother is not in good health and is no longer able to take charge of the painting skin. I came here today to ask the lord of the country what to do with the painted skin. ”

"You don't need to ask Gu about the things of the imperial sister, you can just make your own decisions. ”

"My mother wanted to dismiss them. ”

Qu Qingze's expression was still calm, but his eyes were a little colder than before: "What they usually do is to kill people, if they are sent to the people and no one manages them, it is estimated that they will cause trouble." ”

"Painted Skin has been trained in the most brutal since childhood, and their killing is not voluntary. If there is a chance that they will not have to kill again, I think they ......."

"Enough!" Qu Qingze shouted: "You are still young, you look at things too simply, and you don't know that people's hearts are sinister." They have no means to make a living, and in the past, they could only do business to kill people and buy goods, which would threaten the lives of ordinary people. ”

"If the lord of the country is not them, how can they know that they have no means of livelihood. The people can work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and they will be able to. I just ask the lord of the country to be kind and let them live. ”

"The royal sister has been in charge of the painting skin for many years, and she has never been indecisive. What's the matter, the princess's mansion is going to change masters, so the atmosphere is going to change?"

"My mother is seriously ill and it is really not suitable to see blood, and I am doing this to accumulate blessings for her. I also hope that the lord of the country will have a pure filial piety heart in me and allow me to let them go. ”

Nalan Jinxiu's attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, she has already thought of this set of rhetoric, and now it is also seamless. Qu Qingze sat in the position of the lord of the country, and he also stepped on the white bones, and others were afraid of the princess's mansion, and he was the same.

"Now that you've decided, what's the purpose of entering the palace today?"

"I want to ask for a household registration for them. ”

Nalan Jinxiu knew that Qu Qingze would definitely not allow the painting skin to live, so even if he let them go now, it was inevitable that he would not be behind his back.

However, if there is a household registration, the death must be reported to the government, and someone must find out the cause of death. If so many people of Southern Chu died unexplained, it would definitely cause panic, and they would not be able to hide it even if they wanted to.

Qu Qingze could think of what she could think of, his eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "This is your mother's idea?"

"It's me. ”

"If you don't kill the painted skin and stay in Nanchu, sooner or later it will be a disaster. It's better to let them go! Leave Nanchu and go where they want to go. ”

Nalan Jinxiu knew that he was refusing, and the painting skin had strength that should not be underestimated. Such a sharp weapon is either in their own hands, or they must be destroyed with their own hands, in short, they must not fall into the hands of outsiders. Qu Qingze is ambitious, how can he let the painting skin go to other countries?

"If the lord of the country is worried that their skills will cause trouble, it is better to let people abolish their martial arts. Left and right are usually just murder weapons, and they don't know much more. ”

Qu Qingze saw that this little girl was not very old, but she was very shrewd, and she couldn't fool her at all. He got straight to the point and said, "You want me to release so many people at once, but what is in my favor?"

"Yes. Nalan Jinxiu held the moon seal in his hand and said slowly: "I am willing to exchange it for the treasure of the stars and moon." ”

When Qu Qingjia heard about the Xingyue Treasure, his expression became dark. He looked at the moon seal in her hand, and his voice was a little tight: "Where is the other half of the star seal?"

"I'm here too. Nalan Jinxiu's face was not red and her heart was not beating: "I can give the moon seal to the lord of the country, and open it when our Nanchu needs this wealth." ”
