After Qiu Luoxue returned to the capital, the first thing she did was to return to the palace to ask the emperor for her post, and Qiu Luoxue's main thing was the counterfeit money case in Annan City.

"Your Majesty, although the counterfeit money case is understood, Weichen has discovered an important matter." Qiu Luoxue said.

"What's the matter?" Xia Zimo asked.

"The man behind the counterfeiting." Qiu Luoxue said, and after speaking, she took out the medical skills she picked up at the scene, handed it to the eunuch beside her, and asked the eunuch to hand it over to Xia Zimo.

"This is what the minister picked up in the den of counterfeit money, Your Majesty, please see the title page." Qiu Luoxue said.

Xia Zimo opened the title page of the book according to what Qiu Luoxue said, and only looked at what it said: Turn around and knock on the jade hairpin.

"Turn around and knock on the jade hairpin." Xia Zimo read softly, and then said: "This should be a poem, what does it have to do with the people behind the counterfeit money case?"

"Have you heard this poem before?" Qiu Luoxue asked.

Xia Zimo thought about it carefully and said: "Although I have read poetry books since I was a child, I have never seen this poem."

Qiu Luoxue said: "That's right, this poem is only known to Chen and Imperial Doctor Xu. His words in the den of counterfeit money......"

"It shows that the counterfeit money was instigated by King Chen behind the scenes." Before Qiu Luoxue's words were finished, Xia Zimo preemptively said, this is indeed very important information.

Xia Zimo and Qiu Luoxue didn't discuss for long, and a minister outside the palace asked to see her, and Qiu Luoxue withdrew.

After coming out of the palace, Qiu Luoxue returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, returned to her Magnolia Garden, pushed open the door, and Xia Zimo was already waiting inside.

Qiu Luoxue was surprised for a moment when she saw Xia Zimo, and asked, "Why are you ...... You're not in the palace, are you? How could it be faster than me. ”

"Coming directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion from the dark passage saves half an hour of time than walking through the streets." Xia Zimo said.

"No, I'm going to have someone block the tunnel another day, it's too bad for me, and I can't escape the emperor's supervision when I go home." Qiu Luoxue frowned and said.

"Why do you have to block it, it's convenient for me to come here with a tunnel." Xia Zimo said.

Qiu Luoxue showed a standard smile and asked, "Why did the emperor come to the Prime Minister's Mansion at all costs?" Could it be that he came to supervise whether Wei Chen had handled official affairs well after going to court? ”

Xia Zimo heard that Qiu Luoxue's tone was a little wrong, and asked rhetorically, "What's wrong with you?" Didn't you say that when no one is around, you and I are commensurate? ”

"Hehe......" Qiu Luoxue smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "What is the relationship between us, why should we be commensurate with you and me, this is a big crime of disrespect, Weichen doesn't dare."

"You are the person I like, the future queen of my Great Qin, you can call me whatever you want." Xia Zimo said.

Hearing him say this, Qiu Luoxue simply sneered and said, "I didn't promise to marry you as a queen, and it's not uncommon to be your queen, so you should go to your Jiang Guifei."

"It is rumored that His Majesty has recently favored Concubine Jiang very much, and what brocade cloth, pearl jade, is sent to Renfeng Palace every day. What else is said not to be in the harem for a few months, it's all fake. Qiu Luoxue continued, saying this almost in one breath without the slightest pause.

When Xia Zimo heard this, he knew why Qiu Luoxue had this attitude, it turned out that it was because he gave Jiang Guifei some things, and Qiu Luoxue knew about it, and then he was jealous.

Xia Zimo wanted to explain, but Qiu Luoxue kept talking, and didn't give him a chance to interject at all, only listened to Qiu Luoxue continue: "Heh, what else do you say like me, when I asked you to ask you for a night pearl, you were like an iron rooster, and now it's good, so generous to other women." And let me be your queen, hmph, I'm not rare. ”

Qiu Luoxue said a lot of words in one breath, and finally got tired and stopped. Xia Zimo immediately handed over a cup of tea and said, "Say you're tired, drink saliva first."

Qiu Luoxue was really tired, so she took the water and drank it, drinking all the water in the cup in one go. Xia Zimo looked at Qiu Luoxue with a smile, he was very happy because he knew that Qiu Luoxue was jealous.

"Anything else to say? I don't have anything to say. Xia Zimo said.

"Whoever wants to listen to you, you go." Qiu Luoxue continued to play a little temper, and when she saw that Xia Zimo didn't leave, she said, "Okay, if you don't leave, I'll go."

Xia Zimo saw that Qiu Luoxue was leaving, so he quickly reached out and grabbed her, and grabbed Qiu Luoxue in front of him, and after the two faced each other, he said, "How can there be this?" When you're done talking, you'll have to hear what I have to say. ”

Standing face-to-face like this, Xia Zimo grabbed Qiu Luoxue's arm tightly, so that she couldn't escape. At such a close distance, Qiu Luoxue could feel the warm breath exhaled from the tip of Xia Zimo's nose hitting her face, making her feel a throbbing in her heart. She can also kiss the sandalwood on Xia Zimo's body, this smell has always been the object of Qiu Luoxue's greed.

"Those rewards given to Concubine Jiang are just to appease her, not because I like them. The person I Xia Zimo likes in this life will only be you Qiu Luoxue, and it can only be you. Xia Zimo said seriously, this can be regarded as a promise and confession to Qiu Luoxue.

"Why can it only be me?" Qiu Luoxue asked rhetorically.

Xia Zimo hooked his lips and smiled, "Because I decided that way."

These words can stir Qiu Luoxue's heart very much, but she still pretended to be reserved, pretended not to believe it, and said: "Cut~ There are so many women around you, who believes it."

"Besides, Concubine Jiang's appearance, family background, and ability are very strong, why don't you like her?" Qiu Luoxue asked again.

"Nonsense, in terms of appearance and family background, how can she be as good as you?" Xia Zimo said that this sentence is not to fool Qiu Luoxue, nor is it in the eyes of a lover, but it is true.

"So she's better than me." Qiu Luoxue said very selectively.

"......" Xia Zimo didn't expect her to even pick it out like this, but she couldn't answer it, in that case, it was estimated that Qiu Luoxue would turn around and leave, and would ignore him for several days.

"Concubine Jiang Guifei helps me manage the harem, and I still have the ability." Xia Zimo replied objectively.

Such an answer drew a sneer from Qiu Luoxue, and she said, "Hmph, then I can't help you manage the court and the world, isn't it capable?"

After saying that, she shook off Xia Zimo's hand and continued to walk out, but as soon as she opened the door, she was caught by Xia Zimo, Xia Zimo took Qiu Luoxue's hand with one hand and dragged her into the room, and quickly closed the door with the other hand. The movements are very fast, and he deserves to be a person who knows martial arts.

After pulling Qiu Luoxue back to the room, Xia Zimo blocked her at the door. Qiu Luoxue's back was pressed against the door, looked at Xia Zimo, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Kiss you again." Xia Zimo said, and after speaking, he lowered his head and kissed Qiu Luoxue's lips.

Xia Zimo has wanted to do this for a long time, but he has been holding back, wanting to wait for Qiu Luoxue to fully accept him. Kesi felt more and more that he had to wait for Qiu Luoxue, a duplicitous woman, to take the initiative, and he didn't know that it would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey. Or it would be better for him to take the initiative.

Qiu Luoxue didn't expect Xia Zimo to kiss her directly after speaking, and she was stunned for a while, not knowing how to react. However, she quickly reacted, and under the drive of Xia Zimo, she closed her eyes and responded a little shyly.

At first, Xia Zimo just tentatively kissed Qiu Luoxue, but then slowly deepened, and after getting Qiu Luoxue's response, Xia Zimo deepened the kiss as if he had been allowed.

The kiss inside the house is in full swing, and there is still a scene of ice and snow outside. Ice and snow pressed against the bare branches of the magnolia trees, piled up in the corners of the courtyard. Falling on the red eaves.

Then the snow began to melt at some point, and the snow seeped into the soil and merged with the fallen leaves of the previous year, becoming a good fertilizer to nourish the growth of the plants and trees in the coming year.

Is it because it is irrigated by snow? There was a small green grass deep in the soil, and it swayed in the cold wind. After a winter of cultivation, it finally broke through the ground.

Looking at the white magnolia trees in the courtyard, they also raised buds, in twos and threes, with shyness and temptation, and threw themselves into the arms of nature.

In winter, Qiuluoxue will observe the scenery in the courtyard from time to time, wondering when spring will come. Maybe another day or two, maybe only half a day. Qiu Luoxue forgot to observe the grass and trees in the courtyard, and when she remembered it, she walked into the courtyard and saw that there were new buds hanging on the branches, which was amazing.

After a few more days, suddenly there was a rain, dripping, falling on the stone road, with a moist breath, ushering in the spring of all things.

This is the first rain of spring, and after this rain, spring will come, so people pay a lot of attention to this spring rain. Families go out in the rain, hoping that this year will flourish like everything else.

Soon after the arrival of this rain, spring arrived, and everything seemed to be in a race, scrambling to grow, and soon the whole capital was full of greenery.

One day after the arrival of spring, Qiu Luoxue also traveled in a carriage. This day is the day of the Qiu family to worship their ancestors, and she, as the last bloodline of the Qiu family, naturally wants to worship her ancestors.

The rank of the ancestors of the Qiu clan is enshrined in a temple on the outskirts of the city, which is adjacent to the royal temple. The ancestral rank is enshrined in the temple, which is also a privilege enjoyed by the royal family in other countries. However, in Daqin, the ranking of the Qiu clan can also be enshrined in the temple, which is enough to show the status of the Qiu clan.

The temple dedicated to the ancestors of the Qiu clan is called Lingmiao, and to the left of the royal temple, its building specifications are only one level lower than that of the royal temple. The royal temple, when sending the concubine Wu Xianchu, Qiu Luoxue went once, where it was more magnificent and more like the style of the inner courtyard of the palace.

The spiritual temple is different, first of all, because it is a temple dedicated to the rank of ministers, and the momentum cannot be the same as that of the royal temple; Secondly, most of the Qiu clan are literati and like to be elegant and quiet. Therefore, the architectural style here is more inclined to the small courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River, with more small bridges and flowing water, delicate and elegant.

In addition to the difference in architectural specifications from the royal temple, the guardians of the spiritual temple also wanted to have fewer people, only more than a dozen monks. He is usually responsible for guarding the ranks, cleaning the temple, and sending the manager Buddha.

Qiu Luoxue arrived at the Ling Temple the day before worshipping her ancestors and was arranged to live in a meditation room. During this time, she was free to walk around and just take a stroll around the quiet temple.
