At night, Qin Lei's painting boat left the Yudai River, which was drifting with the smell of fat powder, and turned into the noisy Xiaoqing River during the day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Away from the bright lights and singing birds, the info was moored at the deserted dock, surrounded by silence, except for the faint lights on the painting boat in the dark.

Ruolan sat in front of the small charcoal stove, looking at the orange firelight, the astragalus mountain chicken soup stewed on the stove, which had already begun to emit an attractive aroma, making Qin Lei, who was reading the paperwork on the other side of the room, feel a burst of hunger in his stomach.

In the direction that Qin Lei couldn't see, Ruolan's pretty face was reflected by the obscure firelight, looking so melancholy. Miss Li stayed on the ship for an afternoon today, how could Ruolan not know, but what could she do? Miss Li is not as good as Yunshang, but she can't even eat a little vinegar, so she can only pretend not to know.

"Okay, no, I'm going to die of loneliness." A strange scream came from behind her, calling Ruolan back from some kind of self-harming thought. What can be done? Sighing silently and tidying up her mood, Ruolan said softly: "Okay, you can wash your hands." As he spoke, he took two thick towels and brought the steaming casserole off the charcoal stove.

Qin Lei pushed the documents on the table to the side, simply washed the handle, and when he came back, he saw that the messy desktop had been restored to tidyness. The documents on the top are arranged in groups on the right side of the table, and the middle is empty where it is easy to reach.

Ruolan spread a pale yellow cloth in the middle of the table, and then put six or seven exquisite side dishes and a bowl of chicken soup on the table, and when she saw Qin Lei coming in, she smiled and said, "Lord is hungry, let's eat quickly." ”

Qin Lei sat down and said with a smile: "Ruolan is really Lonely's personal butler, Lone can't leave you for a moment." ”

Ruolan covered her mouth and chuckled: "Ye is used to making people happy, when you are out marching and fighting, don't you still live well without slaves and maids?"

Qin Lei shook his head and said, "It's good that those guys can make raw ones mature, cold and warm into hot, how can they be compared to my family's ingenious and small Ruolan?" Said and sighed: "This chicken soup is really fragrant, Ruolan's craftsmanship is top!" ”

Ruolan was really coaxed by his sweet words to disperse, and the jade hand picked up the chicken soup, put on the spoon, and served it to Qin Lei's eyes, and said softly: "Master, drink it while it's hot." ”

Qin Lei took it with a smile and took a deep breath of hot air. Praise: "Wonderful! He asked wittily: "Seeing that you have been stewing since the afternoon, is there any way to say it?" ”

Ruolan smiled sweetly and said softly: "Sister Yunshang said that astragalus chicken soup can strengthen the body, replenish the middle and nourish the qi, warm the kidneys and dispel the cold, which can not only nourish the prince's body, but also resist the cold on the river, and now it is the best to eat in this season." It's just that it has to be simmered, so it's been a little longer. Said with a smile and said: "The next time I stew it at noon, I won't delay the prince to eat." ”

Qin Lei nodded, scooped a spoonful of clear and bright soup and gently put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and tasted it, his face gradually became serious, and then turned sad, and Ruolan who was standing on the side was nervous, holding the silk handkerchief with both hands, and did not dare to gasp, after a long time, Qin Lei opened his eyes, exhaled, and shook his head silently.

Ruolan asked cautiously, "Is it unpalatable?" ”

Who knew that Qin Lei shook his head and said leisurely: "After drinking this chicken soup, I will never forget it in this life, what if I can't drink it in the future?" ”

Ruolan knew that Qin Lei was teasing herself, so she slapped him lightly, and said, "The prince is used to teasing Ruolan, and he almost frightened the slave maid." ”

Qin Lei hugged her warm body and said with a smile: "Be careful how can something made of liver be unpalatable?" As he spoke, he scooped a spoonful and sent it to Ruolan's lips, and said softly: "I don't believe you taste it, it's much better than the imperial food in the palace." ”

Ruolan glanced at Qin Lei coquettishly, her pink little mouth opened slightly, gently held the tip of the spoon, drank the clear and bright soup little by little, and also learned Qin Lei to close his eyes and taste it. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were already full of steam, and he looked at Qin Lei affectionately, stretching out the tip of his pink lilac-like tongue and licking his fiery lips.

Qin Lei, who has a good body, how can he stand this temptation? With a low roar, he put down the spoon in his hand, wrapped his arms tightly around the hot delicate body in his arms, and his lips were accurately printed on the girl's delicate pink lips. Ruolan sighed, stretched out her jade arm, grabbed Qin Lei's neck with her backhand, and responded warmly and affectionately, there is a way:

When Lang is in love with the concubine, Wushan ** wind, mandarin ducks cross their necks at night, and the pipe is sound;

The clouds in the north city are all black, the river boat is unique, the red wet place is seen, and the flowers are in the capital.

Qin Lei was obviously completely cured.

On the second day, he was really embarrassed to continue to lie in bed and pretend to be sick, and said to Ruolan, who was changing his clothes: "How is that girl?" Well, he admitted, he was pretending to be unfamiliar.

Ruolan put on a pair of brand-new leisurely shoes for Qin Lei, and when she heard this, she raised her head and smiled: "Sister Nian Yao's body is already well, she is not so afraid of people, do you want to see her?" ”

Qin Lei stretched out his hand to hook Ruolan's small chin that began to be round again, and said with a smile: "It's not what you think." But it can be regarded as acquiescing to Ruolan's proposal.

When he saw Nian Yao, Qin Lei was eating breakfast, looking at the girl who was cowering and hiding behind Ruolan, he actually felt a little like he was in a different world. Ruolan pulled her in front of her and said softly: "Nian Yao, this is the prince, don't you know each other?" Say hello. ”

Nian Yao almost shrank her little head into her neck, lowered her head and said, "Slave and maid to meet the prince......"

Qin Lei's heart was sour, and in the most kind tone, he said softly: "Sit down." ”

Nian Yao glanced at Ruolan timidly, Ruolan took her hand and sat down together, Qin Lei personally took a bowl of chestnut porridge, handed it to Nian Yao, and said with a smile, "Nian Yao, in fact, we have known each other for a long time, much earlier than your sister Ruolan." It's really a trick, and it's only today that I spoke for the first time. ”

Nian Yao looked at Qin Lei's familiar face and nodded slightly. Somehow, the tears flowed uncontrollably.

Qin Lei was also a little embarrassed, a delicate red face like a flower, and his fate was as thin as a flower in the rain. The game between several big names crushed her life to pieces and fell into mud.

Suppressing the chaotic thoughts, Qin Lei said apologetically: "The misfortune you have suffered in the past year, the Lone King has an unshirkable responsibility, and Lone wants to say sorry to you." ”

Nian Yao just shook her head slowly and didn't say anything.

Qin Lei exhaled a breath of turbid air and comforted softly: "Let the past things flow away with this river, your life has just begun, live quietly." No one will bully you anymore in the future. ”

Nian Yao raised her head at this time, looked at Qin Lei respectfully, and said softly, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

Qin Lei waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it after eating, from last night to now, I have drunk a mouthful of soup, but I can make Lone hungry." Ruolan on the side was so embarrassed that her face was flushed.

After breakfast, Qin Lei called Nian Yao to the wing room and told Shi Dang to watch the door, and only the two of them were left in the house. Seeing Nian Yao's cramped and uneasy appearance, Qin Lei said softly: "Don't worry, Lone is just chatting with you casually." "The ghost believes his words, do you still need to close the door and close the door when you talk casually?

Fortunately, Ruolan didn't talk about him in Nian Yao's ear, and Nian Yao's body gradually relaxed. Qin Lei thought that his nonsense had worked, and nodded with satisfaction: "We are also old acquaintances, when you were sick, Gu also took care of you." I came to you today just to ask, what are your plans for the future? ”

Nian Yao pursed her lips, thought seriously for a while, lowered her head and whispered, "I want to go home......"

Qin Lei 'uh' and groaned: "Well, it is said that your father owes a lot of gambling debts and has run away." Seeing the girl's state, how dare Qin Lei tell the truth, and made up a nonsense to prevaricate.

Hearing this news, Nian Yao was not surprised, nodded, and whispered: "If you don't get caught, you're already dead." ”

Qin Lei was sweating on his forehead, and said in his heart: This girl is really strong by nature, so he heard her ask, "What about my mother?" ”

Qin Lei touched the short stubble on his chin, and said helplessly: "I can't find it, maybe I'll go with your father." ”

Nian Yao was worried: "Lord Wang, can you help the slave find my mother?" She is weak and can't afford to toss. "I was so anxious that I was about to cry.

Qin Lei hurriedly agreed, so that the girl didn't cry. After saying this, Qin Lei pondered and asked: "The past year's affairs, Lone knows that you don't want to mention it, so I don't ask." ”

Nian Yao nodded gratefully, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

Qin Lei smiled and said, "It's okay, the Lone King asked you a few things from the past, is it okay?" ”

Nian Yao said softly: "Well, please ask, Lord Wang." ”

Qin Lei asked, "What is the situation of your grandfather's family?" ”

Nian Yao shook her head and said, "My mother is an orphan, and there are no relatives at home. ”

Qin Lei let out an 'oh' and asked again, "Then why did your mother follow your father?" ”

Nian Yao recalled for a while and said softly: "They never said it. But after the slave maid entered the Inner Servant Province, she found that many of my mother's manners and habits were very similar to those of the female officials in the palace. ”

Qin Lei let out a 'hmm' and groaned, "Thinking about it again, is there anything that impresses you." ”

Nian Yao shook her head at first, and after a while, she suddenly raised her head and said, "I remember, on the day I was sold into the palace by my father, my mother took me to the Prime Minister's Mansion......"

"Oh," Qin Lei said in surprise, "Who can you see?" ”

Nian Yao shook her head and said: "No, people don't let me in at all, so my mother took me to wait on the side of the road, but the carriages and sedan chairs in and out were heavily guarded, and no one paid attention to us at all." ”

Qin Lei nodded and asked a few more questions, but Nian Yao really didn't know anything. Qin Lei was no longer embarrassed by her, and said softly: "Ask the original question again, what are your plans for the future?" ”

Nian Yao bit her lower lip, thought about it for a long time, and said blankly: "The slave doesn't know either." "The world is so big, there is no place for her.

Qin Lei said softly when he heard this: "That Gu gives you two choices, let you choose, okay?" ”

Nian Yao nodded and whispered, "Lord Wang, please speak." ”

"First of all, Lone doesn't have any tendencies, you can choose whichever you choose." Qin Lei first said as if defending himself, and then said gently: "First of all, you can stay here, follow Ruolan all the time, and live as long as you want." If you are bored and want to find something to do, just tell Ruolan and she will arrange it for you. ”

Nian Yao listened, nodded slightly, and asked softly, "What about the second one?"

Qin Lei resisted the urge to smoke himself, and said with a smile: "The second one is also a good thing, our old queen mother of Daqin, there is a lack of a girl to talk to, and I want you to go by name." The Queen Mother is amiable and kind to the people below, and she can't stand the grievances when she goes to the designation. ”

After listening to Qin Lei's words, Nian Yao sat there with her head down, as if she was thinking. Qin Lei didn't urge, he sat there quietly, waiting for her to speak.

After a while, I heard Nian Yao bow her head and say quietly: "The slave listens to the prince." ”

Qin Lei laughed dryly, scratched his head and said, "No, how can the Lone King make a decision for you?" ”

Nian Yao still lowered her head, and still said quietly: "The slave listens to the prince." ”

Qin Lei scratched his head vigorously, feeling that he should have blushed, and he really touched it with his hand, but it was still warm as usual. He slurred: "Lone thinks...... You can go and see, if you don't feel happy to come back, the door of the Lone King is open for you at any time. "Who is the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang? That was the wisest old lady in Daqin. If you want to read Yao into the palace, how can it be just to train a girl for Qin Lei?

As long as it was possible, Qin Lei didn't want to offend his actual biggest backer.

Nian Yao's body froze, she was silent for a moment, and finally said softly: "The slave listens to the prince." ”

The two of them seemed to have nothing to say all of a sudden, Qin Lei coughed dryly, and said, "You sit down first, the Lone King still has some things to deal with, so let's go first." Nian Yao got up and saluted: "Congratulations to the prince." Qin Lei nodded and left a little embarrassed.

Looking at Qin Lei's back disappearing at the door, Nian Yao seemed to be drained of strength all of a sudden, and sat down on the chair softly, tears flowing down her cheeks silently.

Out of the room where he was embarrassed, he stood in the bow of the boat. Qin Lei felt that his breathing was a little difficult, and he unbuttoned his clothes irritably, and let the cold river breeze pour into his arms, and the depression that made people almost want to hit the wall was slightly relieved.

"Lord Wang, the car is ready." Shi Kang's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, startling Qin Lei. turned around and was scolded, which made Shi Dare to scold dizzy, and he couldn't figure out the situation.

After venting, Qin Lei felt more comfortable, and said with a sigh: "Thank you for your hard work." "I don't know if it's because it's hard for him to prepare the car, or if it's hard to be a punching bag.

Shi Dang had no choice but to say with a depressed face: "It's not hard, this is what subordinates should do......" But seeing Qin Lei go straight into the house, he ignored him at all. Shi Dang scratched his head and shouted bad luck in his heart.

After a while, a bearded man came out of the room where Qin Lei entered, shook his head at Shi Dang, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go." But it was Qin Lei's voice.

Shi Dang looked at the prince whose image and temperament had changed greatly, and just wanted to find some words to praise, but Qin Lei obviously didn't want to speak today, so he walked to the side of the painting boat and stepped on the trembling plank. Shi Dang had no choice but to stop thinking and stride to follow......

The painting boat was parked on an embankment of the Xiaoqing River, and under the willow trees on the bank, there were already seven or eight luxury carriages without any markings, and a hundred and ten black-clothed guards were dressed in civilian clothes, looking vigilantly at the bearded men who were getting closer and closer, if it weren't for their captain following behind, they would have gone to expel them in the morning.

Seeing the nervous appearance of his subordinates, Shi Dare scolded in a low voice: "Are you blind? This is the prince! The black-clothed guard was embarrassed to salute Qin Lei, but was stopped by Qin Lei with a gesture. With the black-clothed guard standing up, Qin Lei turned his head and glared at Shi Dang, "Do you know what secrecy is?" Don't think about brocade and celery all day long, think about something serious! After saying that, he got into a carriage in a hurry.

Shi Dare scratched his head vigorously and muttered in a low voice, "Why is it me again?" Seeing a few black-clothed guards snickering on the side, Shi Dang glared and said, "Laugh again and brush the deck!" "Immediately silenced a few guys, and stood there in a proper manner.

Got into the carriage hard, but Shi Dang found that the bearded man was gone, replaced by a white-faced scribe with three long beards, this time he was obedient, and asked tentatively: "Lord Wang?" The white-faced scribe shook his head and smiled: "Lord Shi said that he was joking, in Xia Sun Changhai, His Royal Highness the King of Longjun is behind you." ”

Shi Dang opened his mouth wide and turned back stupidly, only to see that his back was empty, and he didn't see anything. There was an irrepressible strange laugh in his ears, how could Shi Dare not hear Qin Lei's voice. When he turned his head, he saw that the white-faced scribe's beard had fallen from his laughter.

Shi Dang felt that his head was two big, and said in frustration: "Don't wait to play people like this." ”

"It is also one of the duties of the chief of the guard to let the prince recover quickly and be happy." Qin Lei sat up and said with a straight face, and after speaking, he leaned against the wall of the carriage and laughed.
