Zhang Ruting paused, saw Qin Yunuan coming towards him, and his thoughts were a little stunned, and then he saw Leng Changxi waiting in the distance.

"Lord Ping." Zhang Ruting bowed.

"You don't have to be polite," Qin Yunuan looked faint, "Anyway, we never need any false courtesy between us, I just ask you, why did the eldest prince seek death?" ”

Zhang Ruting glanced at Qin Yunuan calmly: "Everyone speculates how the eldest prince was killed, only you, who have always believed that he committed suicide?" I'm a little strange," Zhang Ruting said as he approached Qin Yunuan, "Why do you have such a big ability every time, and turn big things into small things?" ”

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is victorious in a hundred battles" Qin Yunuan smiled lightly, "I understand the character of the eldest prince and will understand his behavior, he has been forced to a dead end by Yun Guifei, and then go down, either his self-destruction or the death of the entire Yun Guifei party, he chose the first option, he thought that he could cut off everything with one death, but he didn't expect that Yun Guifei would be so persistent, and he didn't expect that the Meng family had already angered the emperor, and the emperor had been waiting for an opportunity to wipe out the Meng family. ”

Zhang Ruting smiled bitterly: "Yes, the eldest prince is too weak, in the face of all problems, he will only choose to escape and cover up, just like me, if I can take the courage to stay when Chu Ziying leaves, go to the Fang family to propose, maybe everything will be ......." ”

"It's going to be the same." Before Zhang Ruting finished speaking, Qin Yunuan decisively snatched his words, "No matter how high your grade is, no matter how early you go to propose, everything will be the same, Sister Fang will not marry you, a woman from a big family was born to decide her husband, and the little marquis of King Jinling treats Sister Fang very well now, you can rest assured." ”

The corners of Zhang Ruting's mouth wandered with a trace of pain, he has always hidden his feelings for this cousin very deeply, but no matter how deep he is, he can't deceive himself, he loves her, protects her, wants to marry her, the saddest thing is that Fang Ziying has never considered growing old with him, she has always been a brother when he sees him.

"What about you?" Zhang Ruting tilted his head and asked Qin Yunuan, "If the eldest prince can be as brave as Leng Changxi and refuse when the emperor gives him a marriage, it means that his sweetheart has always been you?" Will it change everything? ”

"What do you mean?" Qin Yunuan's eyes were cold, as if he could see everything.

The corners of Zhang Ruting's mouth raised: "Can't you see it?" The eldest prince didn't say anything to you, but the begonia-shaped hairpin that he had to carry with him when he was dying has explained everything. ”

"You mean the person in the heart of the eldest prince is me?" Qin Yunuan only felt incredible, she and Sima Ruo were only a few faces, so how could they never forget.

"Or else?" Zhang Ruting provoked, "I'll tell you directly, the eldest prince did commit suicide, and the poison is still from me, he waited under a pear tree when I took the medicine, I saw it clearly, between the falling white pear blossoms, he was also stroking this hairpin, that kind of look, only when looking at the love of the world, can have." ”

"So what?" For the deceased eldest prince, Qin Yunuan didn't have any other emotions except sighing, "First, he likes me, it's his business, and it has nothing to do with me, second, about the question you just asked, Sima Ruo will never be as bold and resolute as Changxi, so your assumptions don't exist at all, third, even if he can do it, but in my heart, I have already stuffed one person, and I can't stuff the second one;

。 ”

As soon as Qin Yunuan's words fell, she saw the gate of the palace paved with the sunset in Phnom Penh, Sai Chun hurried over with a panicked look holding a baby who was still in swaddling clothes, she should have rushed to come immediately after receiving the news, and it was not the eunuch of Qingping Palace who led the way for her, but her father-in-law, from the gloomy smile on her father-in-law's face, she knew that Sai Chun's fate must also be very ugly, the tree fell and scattered, and as soon as Concubine Yun fell, the situation in the harem immediately changed.

Sure enough, three days later, news came out in the palace that Yang Cairen, who had been promoted to Concubine Rong, had now been promoted to Concubine Rong, and the Queen Mother regained control of the harem, Concubine Yun and the eldest prince both died, and externally, it was also said that Saichun was recuperating in Jingxi Palace every day because of excessive sadness.

"This Yang Cairen, it's really not simple" Qin Yunuan listened to Xue's report and took a sip of the fragrant Biluochun, "I only thought she was assertive when I saw her that day, but I didn't expect that as long as this woman had a chance, the speed of climbing up step by step could be called rapid." ”

Tingxue said cautiously: "Do you need to find someone to guard against this Concubine Rong?" The slave always felt that this was not a small skill for Concubine Rong, and the person who came was not good. ”

"In the palace, everyone is willing to hurt others in order to protect themselves, just ask, how much is good?" Qin Yunuan sighed slightly, "As for this Concubine Rong, we don't have to worry about it for the time being, she hasn't gained a firm foothold in the harem yet, as long as there is no conflict of interest, she won't look for our business." ”

At this time, the old and unserious Sun Miaoyang suddenly rushed in from the door, without even knocking on the door, looking very excited.

"Hahahaha, you lost, you lost, and you still compare with me? Looking at the face and asking for a doctor, it is my old man's specialty, and I can see at a glance that the old man is not pregnant at all. ”

Although he lived in Ning Wang's Mansion and became a VIP of the palace, Sun Miaoyang's clothes were still the same old one, and they were hung in tatters, but this did not affect Sun Miaoyang in the slightest when he was startled by Sun Miaoyang who suddenly appeared when he was listening to the snow, but Qin Yunuan said with a smile: "Really? ”

Sun Miaoyang glanced at Qin Yunuan with disdain: "Do you understand medical skills or do I understand medical skills?" Besides, it's only been a few days since the side concubine entered the door, where is it so easy to get pregnant? I can get a head guarantee. ”

Qin Yunuan smiled slightly: "I know, listen to Xue, go and take the good daughter red on the altar that I am a bet on to Doctor Sun." ”

Sun Miaoyang followed Tingxue out with a smile, but Qin Yunuan was silently thinking, and there was only one reason why she would take the opportunity of a bet to let Sun Miaoyang test whether Sun Baozhen was pregnant, and that was when she entered the palace on the day of the Yellow Flower Festival, Sun Baozhen invited Qin Yunuan to her carriage.

Qin Yunuan clearly remembered that Sun Baozhen came to Kwai Shui that day, and there was indeed a strong smell of blood in the carriage, but the problem was that the smell was too strong, and the Kwai water of ordinary daughters did not have such a fishy smell.

Using pigeon blood to pretend to come to Kwai Shui, what is Sun Baozhen's purpose? Isn't it because she is pregnant and deliberately covers up, since Sun Baozhen entered the palace, King Ning has not had sex with him, if Sun Baozhen really wants to occupy a place in Ning Wangfu for the Sun family, shouldn't he work harder to please King Ning and win King Ning's trust? By doing so, she would only alienate King Ning even more.

Sun Baozhen, Sun Baozhen, what are you planning? Qin Yunuan frowned, it seemed that more careful planning and testing were needed;

In the courtyard of winter and spring, Sun Baozhen was closing her eyes, letting Xiuying thrush for herself, Xiuying's craftsmanship was still not as good as Xiuxin's after all, thinking that Xiuxin was kicked away by Qin Yunuan with a trick, Sun Baozhen hated it so much.

"Cousin." At the door, Dou Meishuang was dressed in a pretty pink trolling skirt like a peach blossom that bloomed in March, with a beautiful white orchid on his head, his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.

"Come on, I'll come." Dou Meishuang took the charcoal used for the thrush in Xiuying's hand and traced it along the shape of Sun Baozhen's eyebrows.

After finishing the painting, Sun Baozhen nodded and said, "Except for the embroidery heart, you are the one who paints the best." ”

Dou Meishuang smiled coquettishly: "If my cousin likes it, Meishuang will come to paint the thrush for my cousin every day." ”

Sun Baozhen turned his head lightly: "No need." After speaking, he was about to use a croissant comb to comb the hair of his sideburns, when there was a sound of announcement.

"Concubine Fang, it's Xi'er next to the third young grandmother who is here."

"Let her in."

Not long after, Xi'er walked in with an arm-long brocade box, and saw Sun Baozhen saluting dignifiedly: "Concubine Side, my young grandmother said that she spoke more impulsively in the palace, and she was afraid that she would bump into Concubine Side, so she prepared some light gifts for this and apologized." ”

Sun Baozhen's expression was faint, but the depths of his eyes were full of pride.

"Okay, you can put your things down and go."

Xi'er shook her head and said, "No, my young grandmother said, I must watch the concubine open the things, if the concubine doesn't like it, she can prepare a new one immediately." ”

A hint of pride appeared at the corner of Sun Baozhen's mouth, and even the Dou Mei and double waist boards on the side were straighter, look at it, no matter how many grades Qin Yunuan is the county lord and how much Leng Changxi loves her, she still has to bow to Sun Baozhen in the end.

"Okay, okay, open it."

Xi'er smiled happily, opened the brocade box quickly, and showed the contents in front of Sun Baozhen and Dou Meishuang.

"Oh my God" Dou Meishuang couldn't help but cover his mouth and exclaimed in a low voice at the first glance of Dou Meishuang, "This is the latest fluorescent brocade produced by Kingdee Embroidery Village, and only ten horses have been produced this year, which can be described as a foot is hard to find." ”

Compared with Dou Meishuang, Sun Baozhen seemed very calm: "Oh? Fluorescent tapestry? Is it expensive? She was so plain that she didn't even look at the beautifully worked, expensive tapestry, except at first glance.

"This is natural," Dou Meishuang carefully explained for Sun Baozhen, "The so-called fluorescent brocade is because this brocade will emit a firefly-like hazy light when it reaches a dark place. ”

Sun Baozhen glanced at the brocade one more time, without the slightest enthusiasm and joy: "Okay, Xiuying, put things away." ”

On the other side, when Xi'er reacted Sun Baozhen's reaction to Qin Yunuan one by one, Qin Yunuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she had a bold guess.

Sun Baozhen, Sun Baozhen, I seem to know your biggest secret.
