Qi Xin'er's face was very serious at the moment, and he didn't see the slightest hint of the supple and charming appearance of Emperor Ming when he was there. Hearing the content of the report of the people below, she suddenly turned a cold face.

"What? Who did it and what purpose did they have? ”

The guards standing below were very uneasy in their hearts after glancing at Qi Xin'er.

He didn't dare to look at Qi Xin'er's face anymore, just lowered his head and looked at the ground in front of him, and said respectfully: "It's the daughter of the county lord of Anping, Miss Qiu." She investigated Miss Gu without any other conspiracy, it was for Miss Gu's brother. It's because she loves Miss Gu's brother that she's like this. ”

"The daughter of the county lord of Anping? It's Qiu Jingshu, isn't she the granddaughter of the king of Nanyang County. Speaking of which, the place where the palace lived before was also a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. However, Qiu Jingshu, a young lady, how could she fall in love with Miaomiao's brother. Qi Xin'er was a little puzzled.

"Okay, Hongu knows. Since there is no other purpose, our people should not make a move yet. ”

Qi Xin'er looked at the guard, and wanted to ask him to step back, but saw that he still had something to say.

"Anything else? Let's just say it. ”

Only then did the guard speak, "The subordinates inadvertently discovered something, and Miss Gu's brother didn't seem to be simple. He has been privately recruiting contacts and developing influence, and it seems to be going well. ”

"Well, Miaomiao's father died early, and she still has to rely on her brother after all. It's a good thing that her brother is capable, and although Bengong wants to take care of her, he can't be too much on the surface. ”

Qi Xin'er is a little happy to see this, she knows very well that in this society, women's honor and disgrace are basically pinned on men. After marriage, it is dependent on the son, and the husband.

When he was not married, he still had to rely on his father and brother, if Gu Nianyuan's status increased, Miaomiao could also use his power to live a better life. Qi Xin'er thought about it and instructed again.

"Without Miaomiao's brother finding out, let our people help him."

"Yes, my subordinates remember." The guard respectfully responded, and picked up another box, "Niangniang, this is the soap developed by Miss Gu." This was specially bought by the subordinates, and it did not arouse suspicion. ”

"This soap is very popular and should be very easy to use. The subordinates estimated that Miss Gu should earn about two hundred taels a month just by relying on this. ”

"Oh my God, two hundred taels!" The maid next to Qi Xin'er couldn't help but exclaim in her heart, they didn't dare to speak directly. And these maids are also specially trained and very stable.

This time, they were just too surprised. After all, the number of two hundred taels is too amazing, and it is still a month. It's wonderful because I'm a modern person and I'm not very sensitive to this number.

And for these ancient people, this number is really staggering. Let's put it this way, one tael of silver in ancient times is equivalent to four hundred yuan in modern times, and two hundred taels is eighty thousand yuan.

A young girl who is still in time earns 80,000 yuan a month. In this way, everyone can understand the surprise of these palace maids.

"Yunzhu, bring the things." Qi Xin'er was only happy when she heard this, and she had nothing but to be happy for Miaomiao.

Because the gap between the rich and the poor was particularly obvious in ancient times, Qi Xin'er was really a noble girl. She actually has no concept of money, so she doesn't know about money like a palace maid at all.

However, Qi Xin'er is extremely curious about soap and soap. When the people under her reported before, she really wanted to see what it was.

However, although Qi Xin'er was looking forward to it, she did not rush to experiment with the soap, but put the box aside and praised the guards first.

"You have a heart, this palace likes it very much." Then Qi Xin'er turned to the other palace maid and said.

"Yinzhu, you go and take out the Jinlan tea that His Majesty gave to the palace a few days ago and give it to Guard Li."

"Niangniang, my subordinates don't ask for things outside the body, they just want to be able to help Niangniang." The Li guards below couldn't help but speak.

Only then did Qi Xin'er look at the Li guards below. Seeing that he was a little timid but looked at himself firmly, Qi Xin'er's heart moved, and he turned his head and didn't look at him again.

Instead, he said lightly: "Guard Li is so loyal to the palace, but this reward is to be desired." This palace has always had clear rewards, and Guard Li has benefited so much, these rewards are what you deserve. ”

At this time, Yinzhu also returned, and Qi Xin'er didn't want to bother talking any more. "Yinzhu, give the things to Guard Li. Okay, Guard Li, you can go down, the palace is a little tired. Qi Xin'er waved her hand and motioned for the guards to leave.

"Yes, mother, my subordinates retire." Guard Li glanced at Qi Xin'er very reluctantly, and then retreated.

Do things to your own people. It's still very reassuring. These people are actually the people Qi Xin'er's uncle found for her.

Although Qi Xin'er's mother's maiden family has declined, her mother's maiden family is also a family that has stood for hundreds of years after all.

In addition, although her grandfather does not have a specific official position, he is still a Taifu. Teaching His Majesty for so many years is not in vain.

Qi Xin'er's mother's surname is Li, and her grandfather, Li Ci, is very open-minded in this era. She named her daughter according to the ranking of her sons, the eldest son is called Li Yongan, and the second son is called Li Yongkang.

The third daughter is Qi Xin'er's mother, her name is Li Yongning, and she is not like ordinary people, men and women are named separately. The girl was also given the genus of boys.

Li Ci has noble character and unparalleled literary talent. But his temperament is particularly stubborn, in the words of his wife, just like a stubborn donkey.

is because of his temperament, he does not make false promises to others, nor does he cooperate with the unspoken rules of officialdom. The two children he taught were also of the same temperament as him. It is also because of this that their family will be excluded from the current situation.

However, Qi Xin'er's second uncle Li Yongkang, because he liked martial arts since he was a child and was quite talented, went directly to join the army when he grew up.

Although the army is not such an ideal world without intrigue, it is stronger than the capital after all.

Most military attachés are relatively simple-minded and like to go straight. Li Yongkang's own business ability is also relatively passable, so Li Yongkang can be said to be like a fish in water in the army.

He joined the army at the age of seventeen, and it has been decades now. He has also been slowly promoted, and now he is the general of Zheng Erpin, and he has been guarding the border passes.

However, the scholars are more literate and light on military affairs, and the status of military attachés is not high. Li Yongkang has been at the forefront of danger again, and he may die on the battlefield at any time.

So even if Li Yongkang, a second-class official, is here, the Li family doesn't have much power on the surface. Only some shallow-eyed people can look down on the Li family.

It's just that everyone doesn't know because of these changes. The Li family is now in charge, and Li Yongan has gradually grown up. After the accident ten years ago, Li Yongan deeply understood that in officialdom, sincerity is useless.

It is useless to learn these things only by relying on loyalty and ability to do things. Later, his wife was forced by her mother's family to reconcile with her, and her sister was rejected by her husband's family because of family affairs, and she died of depression.

These things have changed Li Yongan's mentality. These guards were the ones he had started cultivating ten years ago, and they were all orphans with no father or mother. There are also children who have been abused by their stepmothers, such children, as long as they are kind to them, they will be very loyal.

Li Yongan has read countless books, and he has accidentally seen a book on cultivating secret guards in the previous dynasty. Li Yongan himself is not stupid, but he is unwilling to calculate. He has a strong comprehension, and just by following that book, he has designed a complete set of methods for cultivating personal secret guards.

In just ten years, Li Yongan has cultivated many secret guards who are completely loyal to the Li family and have to be used. However, although it is not the same as before, it is very deep in my heart.

But he is still very sincere towards his relatives, especially for Qi Xin'er, the only flesh and blood left by his sister, Li Yongan loves him even more.

Li Yongan actually felt that his sister's death, in addition to Qi Xin'er's father being too human-faced and beastly, was also inseparable from him.

A story about Qi's father's request to marry Qi Xin'er's mother was set by Li Yongan. Li Yongan felt that he didn't know anyone and killed his sister.

There is also Li Yongan who feels that if he is not too angry, his family will decline. My sister will not be rejected by her in-laws, and she will die of depression.

Because of his guilt for his sister, Li Yongan loved his niece even more. Qi Xin'er wanted to enter the palace, but Li Yongan did not agree.

It's just that Qi Xin'er also thought of this, plus she didn't know her uncle's private layout. Thinking that he wanted revenge, he met the emperor directly under Xu Changping's arrangement.

By the time Li Yongan knew, the matter was already a foregone conclusion. The emperor has already taken a fancy to Qi Xin'er and is going to take her into the palace. It's just that even so, at the risk of offending the emperor, Li Yongan also said to Qi Xin'er.

Otherwise, let's not go, just say that the family has already set a marriage for you. It was only then that Qi Xin'er realized that her uncle's feelings for her were actually true.

It's just that the more this is the case, the less Qi Xin'er can harm Li Yongan. She rejected Li Yongan's proposal and insisted on entering the palace. Li Yongan really had no way to deal with her, but he was still not at ease, so he gave Qi Xin'er the best secret guards he had trained.

These guards are ranked by ability and make their own names. The Li guard just now was the number one secret guard, who was given the surname Li and called Li Yi.

The two personal palace maids beside Qi Xin'er are also secret guards, and they are one of the few women in the secret guards. Originally, one was the sixth and the other was the eleven. This name is absolutely not okay in the palace, so Qi Xin'er gave them the names Yunzhu and Yinzhu.

Li Yongan's ability is really strong enough, and the secret guards he trained are very capable. Whatever Qi Xin'er arranges them to do, they can do it perfectly.

And Qi Xin'er also deeply felt the loyalty of these secret guards. So when she found out that Li Yi might have some thoughts that she shouldn't have, she didn't have a seizure.

She knew that Li Yi would definitely not do anything that harmed her interests. Therefore, she put this matter aside and concentrated on fiddling with the wonderful soap.

On the other side, Qiu Jingshu, who Qi Xin'er didn't take to heart, dug up Miaomiao's doubts.
