"Are you afraid of Nanwan?" Yan Nanchen said.

Old man Gu's face flashed a little uncomfortable, and he didn't look at him: "What do I have to be afraid of her?"

"The world's strange poison that you painstakingly developed was unraveled by her, why aren't you jealous?"

Old man Gu was silent.

Yan Nanchen said again: "You need Nan Wan's protection now, if one day in the future, you don't need Nan Wan's protection, do you still want to do something to Nan Wan?"

Old man Gu jumped to his feet, crossed his waist and pointed at Yan Nanchen and said, "Yan boy, although the old man is not a good person, he is not as dirty as you said. What do you mean that when I ask for others, I will bow down and be small, and if I don't ask for others, I will be arrogant, is the old man such a person?"

Yan Nanchen thought about it seriously, and then shook his head again.

Old man Gu looked at him and shook his head, and his heart disappeared a little: "This is about the same." ”

Yan Nanchen raised his eyes and glanced at him: "I don't know if you are such a person." ”

"Yan Nanchen, you ......" Old man Gu stomped his feet fiercely and glared at him, "The old man has lived for decades before he will do such a shameless thing." ”

Yan Nanchen glanced at him and pondered for a moment: "You just want to find a hiding place, I'll change places for you in two days." ”

"Yan boy, you still don't believe the old man?"

Yan Nanchen nodded: "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable." ”

Old man Gu was so angry that his head was a little dizzy, and he held his forehead with both hands: "If I really want to be unfavorable to Yan Yatou, I can do it to her wherever you send me." ”

"You mean you really have a plan?" Yan Nanchen's sharp gaze swept towards him.

"Forget it, I'll tell you the truth!" Old man Gu waved his hand, "I said don't beat me." ”

Yan Nanchen nodded.

Old man Gu sighed: "I'm just afraid that Yan Yatou is too good, and she won't be able to look down on my master in the future." He glanced at Yan Nanchen, "That is, the Seventh Prince." The two of them looked at each other and were obviously very well matched, but it was like this, and the old man felt uncomfortable when he looked at it. ”

"You don't have to worry about their business in the future. Yan Nanchen said in a deep voice.

He knew Yan Nanwan's worries and scruples, but he couldn't do anything about it. In the past, he wanted to use Xue Yan's power to protect the safety of the Yan family, but it wasn't until Yan Nanwan said those words to him that he realized that he was too selfish.

They are the sons and daughters of the Yan family, and they should bear the rise and fall of the Yan family, rather than using external forces and others.

Old man Gu shrugged: "The old man can't take care of it, but it's a pity to look at it." ”

"Everyone has their own destiny, and before they reach the end of their lives, there are opportunities everywhere. Yan Nanchen dropped this ambiguous sentence and left.

Hearing this, Old Man Gu secretly pondered for a while, but he couldn't figure out what he was talking about. Shaking his head, he didn't care, glanced at the courtyard where Yan Nan stayed at night, and turned around and went in the opposite direction.

After Xue Yan asked him to go to the northwest to take office, the emperor asked the queen to pick a few flexible and empathetic palace maids in the harem and let Xue Yan take them with her.

The queen took this matter very seriously, and asked people to go out of the palace several times to the prince's mansion to let Xue Yan enter the palace to take a look, but the people selected were still satisfied, but Xue Yan refused, and it was all up to the emperor and queen to decide.

Xue Yan has gained a romantic reputation, there are naturally countless women around him, and there are many women he has seen, and the queen is afraid that the selection will not be good, which makes Xue Yan feel that she is perfunctory to him.

If it reaches the emperor's ears, she should be scolded by the emperor again.

The emperor said that he would pick a few women and let Xue Yan take them with him, and there were several layers of deep meaning in this, and the queen was not sure for a while. If you don't come to Xue Yan, you can only ask people to go to the East Palace to ask the prince to come to the staff for one or two.

The people who went to the East Palace returned in vain, saying that they asked the queen to ask the emperor directly.

The queen made a difficulty, and finally simply went to the queen mother to discuss.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she looked at the queen with a look of mud that couldn't support the wall: "Queen, it's not that the mourning family is talking about you, it's really that you are too unkind to do this." ”

The queen pulled the handkerchief in her hand, sat under the queen mother, and humbly asked: "Please also ask the queen mother for some advice." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand, and the maids and eunuchs who were waiting around her all went down: "Even if Lao Qi goes to the northwest to serve, he is a royal person after all, and the people who follow him, if Lao Qi really takes a fancy to it, not to mention the concubine, then at least it is a side concubine." The emperor asked you to pick a few women for him to bring, and you picked among the harem maids, isn't this a clear disparagement of the seventh child?"

The queen suddenly realized: "The queen mother taught me." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at her and continued: "The mourning family heard that you also went to ask the prince to help?"

"The daughter-in-law is stupid, please forgive the queen mother. The queen bowed her head.

"Queen, although the emperor is bent on letting the prince inherit the throne, the matter in the harem still doesn't involve the prince. The Queen Mother propped one arm on the table, leaned forward slightly, and tended to play with a small pot of flowers on the table that were about to die, "Look at this flower, although it grows in the imperial garden, although it is exposed to the sun and rain, it is alive and vibrant, and it is placed in the palace of the mourning family, but it will die in two days." ”

The queen looked at the pot of flowers that were about to die, and said, "Daughter-in-law understands." ”

"It's good to get it. The Queen Mother called out, and the maid walked in to help the Queen Mother, "The mourning family is tired after talking to you for a long time." ”

The queen got up and saluted: "The queen mother rests, and the daughter-in-law has returned to the palace." ”

The maid helped the queen mother into the inner hall, and the queen mother sat on the bed and said to the maid beside her: "You will sort out the list of unmarried official women in Beijing and give it to the queen." ”

The maid responded.

After the queen left the queen mother, she was afraid for a while, thinking that if she hadn't come to discuss with the queen mother today, she would not only offend the seventh prince, but also pull the prince in, and even the emperor would be offended.

That pot of flowers is like the crown prince, intimidating the ministers above the court, but if he participates in the affairs of the harem, sooner or later the emperor will be disgusted.

The maid next to the Queen Mother was also a quick one, and on the second day, she sorted out the list and gave it to the queen.

The queen looked at the name of the girl above and the background of the family, and thought for a long time before she decided on a few people.

These people don't have a bad reputation, and their family background is neither high nor low, which not only gives the Seventh Prince enough face, but also makes the family behind these people have nothing to say.

Although Xue Yan is still a member of the royal family, he is a little worse than the prince who stays in Beijing when he goes to the northwest.

The queen selected six people and first sent the list to the queen mother, and after the queen mother and the emperor felt that it was done, she let people send it to the prince's mansion.

Xue Yan looked at the people on the list, hooked his lips and smiled, and handed it to the little eunuch who came to pass the word: "Six people are a bit too much, four is enough." ”

The little eunuch asked tremblingly, "Which four do the Seven Princes want?"

"It's up to the father and the queen to decide. ”
