The queen said meaninglessly: "I heard that he expressed his heart to you in the main hall a few days ago?" ”

Li Qiuchi didn't hide it, and generously admitted, "It's true, but I can't control his appreciation for Qiu'er." ”

What she said was equivalent to saying, this princess is naturally beautiful and charming, others like me, blame me?

The queen obviously understood what she meant, and couldn't help laughing, "Okay, the palace knows." ”

As she spoke, Li Qiuchi had already braided her hair in a bun, and the queen looked at the flowing cloud bun on the woman's head in the mirror, and she was in a trance for a moment, and her thoughts were also pulled away.

Suddenly, a red jade hairpin was inserted on his head, making his originally free and easy face more bright and moving.

The woman behind her smiled and held the queen's shoulder, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes when she looked at the bronze mirror, "Every time I see my mother, I am dressed in a dignified manner." In fact, you might as well change your hair accessories, and you can also have a different mood. The queen mother is also suitable for bright colors. ”

The queen took a closer look at the person in the mirror, and she did have a different feeling.

Through the bronze mirror, I saw Li Qiuchi's sincere smile, like a blazing morning sun. Such a bright and beautiful woman, I am afraid that it is difficult for others to think about it, and even she was moved by Li Qiuchi.

"Having a daughter-in-law like you is a blessing for this palace." The queen spoke slowly.

Li Qiuchi was surprised, she held the queen's shoulders and smiled at the person in the mirror, "What did the queen mother say?" It should be my blessing to have such a beautiful and understanding mother-in-law. ”

The queen didn't answer, she thought about it for a while, and told her: "The behavior of the court is really unpleasant. But it's best not to be too showy these days, so as not to get into unnecessary trouble. ”

Li Qiuchi understood the queen's good intentions, and his heart warmed, "Yes, Qiu'er obeys the teachings of the queen mother." ”

When he left the palace, he happened to meet Chu Jinrong walking out of the study, only to see him with a sad face and his brows tightly twisted.

Li Qiuchi was curious, stepped forward, and asked him with concern, "What's wrong with you?" A sad face. ”

Chu Jinrong walked side by side with her, his brows stretched a little, but he was still sad in his heart, and he sighed: "It's still about those envoys, they don't agree with this policy, and even shout to leave, but we can't do anything." ”

The more he thought about it, the more sad he became, "After all, it is the common trade of all countries, and if they don't agree, then this plan is equivalent to nullification." But as mentioned before, sending gold, silver and jewelry to various countries is not a good way in the long run. ”

Li Qiuchi pondered for a moment, "I thought of a way, perhaps, we can win back a game." ”

Chu Jinrong's eyes lit up slightly, and he was not so depressed, "Really? ”

Li Qiuchi smiled and nodded, "It's just that I need your second brother's help." ”

Chu Jinrong was suddenly curious, "What is the method?" ”

Li Qiuchi's cunning and agile eyes blinked, and after whispering in his ear to him for a while, Chu Jinrong gave Li Qiuchi a thumbs up in admiration: "Clever!" ”

Her eyes were slightly raised, and her chin was raised haughtily.

After thinking of countermeasures, Li Qiuchi went to the palace and told Chu Junlan his plans.

"Let them go?" Chu Junlan frowned, his eyes wrapped with a faint emotion, "Do you know the consequences of letting them leave?" ”

Li Qiuchi stood behind him and bent his knees slightly, "No, what Erchen means is to pretend to let them leave first and stabilize them before making the next plan." ”

Chu Junlan pondered for a moment, "You mean, make some articles at the farewell banquet?" But how do you know that they will definitely be fooled? ”

Li Qiuchi was sincere: "But Father, we only have one bet now, otherwise we really won't have any chance of winning." If those envoys are determined to leave, it is useless for us to keep them, but it is better to obey their wishes first. ”

Chu Junlan fell into deep thought, pacing in the main hall for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Okay, just according to what you say." ”

After getting Chu Junlan's permission, Li Qiuchi's heart jumped, "Thank you father!" She didn't say anything more, and quit after finding an excuse. She immediately returned to the room in the East Palace and wrote a letter to the second prince. When she was done, she picked it up and blew the ink, put it in an envelope, and handed it to the jade who was waiting.

"You go and give this letter and this box of things to the second prince in Cihai Mansion." Li Qiuchi pinched the envelope and looked at her with a very serious expression, which made Cuiyu serious too.

Jade looked at the table, and saw that a box of items in the center of the table was tightly wrapped in fine brocade, but the dull color revealed a different kind of luxury, and the sunlight reflected the shimmering gold threads. She picked it up and weighed it, but it was light, which surprised Jade.

"This is a glass bottle, the material is very brittle, hold it carefully." Li Qiuchi solemnly instructed her, "Remember, be careful with it, this thing is very important, don't break it." ”

Although Jade didn't understand the situation, she still understood the priorities.

After answering, she walked out with the letter and the glass bottle.

Entering the palace unimpeded, she cautiously walked down the corridor with the box in her hand, and the passers-by stopped and cast curious glances when they saw the things in Cuiyu's hand.

"This shameless slut! Why did you get the protection of this princess's father and brother! In the distance, a delicate voice sounded with anger, "Could it be that what Princess Ben said is wrong?" Seeing a foreign man in private, there is no concept of rudeness, righteousness and shame! ”

Princess Fulin? Jade's body stiffened suddenly, and she looked down at what she was holding in her hand, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in her heart.

She hurriedly looked left and right, trying to find a hiding place, but there was nowhere to hide. Seeing the figure of Fu Lin in the distance getting closer and closer to her, Jade gritted her teeth, lowered her head and walked slowly.

"That is, the crown princess inevitably pays too little attention to her image, which damages the royal face." Then, Cai Ping's echoing voice sounded from a distance, "I don't know why, the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince are so protective of her." ”

Fu Lin sneered, "Do you need to talk about this?" She has always been cunning, she must have used some kind of trick to please her father, and her father will be like this towards her! ”

Seeing Fulin and Cai Ping getting closer and closer to her, Cuiyu's heartbeat was like a drum.

"This Li Qiuchi is really disgusting! Wait until Princess Ben catches your handle someday......"

Jade hung her head, and the scene around her slowly recedered. Suddenly, the corner of the skirt of the flowing cloud brocade appeared in front of her, and she chuckled violently in her heart.

She hurriedly saluted, but Fu Lin didn't notice it and swept past her directly.

She breathed a sigh of relief, the people behind her were still complaining about Li Qiuchi, she didn't listen to it very well, so she strode forward.
