As soon as noon arrived, Yan Makeup came to invite Qin Huai to the front hall for lunch, and Qin Huai had some energy after a short rest, so he went to the front hall with her.

When she first saw Yan Luji, she didn't recognize it for a moment.

I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and my uncle has not only put out two beards, but even his eyes are much more resolute, and he is no longer the boy who used to pester his mother and always take him to the garden.

Time has changed, and now the five of them are sitting at the table with big eyes and small eyes, waiting for their uncle, the head of the family, to speak first.

After all, he was facing his own niece, even if he knew Qin Huai's current situation, he would have to take care of her face at home, so he cleared his throat and smiled at Qin Huai.

"Huai'er, in fact, my uncle always wants to go to Xunyang City to see you, but your grandfather doesn't allow our Yan family to return to officialdom, so the matter of going to see you is put on hold. But this time is not necessarily a bad thing, you should come to Yunzhou to relax, and we will get together as a family. ”

The kindness of these words also relieved Qin Huai, after all, she suddenly encountered a big disaster, and she may not be really happy when she came to Yan's house.

Qin Huai's heart was moved and relaxed a lot, I am afraid that by now, the only relatives who really care about her and are willing to take care of her are her uncle and grandfather.

Once she was careless, relying on her father's favor to do whatever she wanted in Xunyang City, offended a group of courtiers and noblewomen, those people saw her fall out of favor, and they couldn't wait to come to the princess's mansion to see her liveliness, and now there is a sheltered place, Qin Huai is grateful.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will have to go back to Xunyang sooner or later, if you really want to go back to the court to be an official, it will not be difficult for me to recommend you to my father after that."

What she said was originally sincere, but in the eyes of others, she was a swollen face and a fat person.

"Recommendation? Cousin may have forgotten his current identity, leaving the royal family, you are just an ordinary daughter of our Yan family, if Your Majesty will really let your father be an official because of your words, how can you fall to this? ”

Xu still remembers that slap, Yan Biyu didn't speak angrily.

And Yan Luji, who was sitting on the side, glanced at his unconscious daughter, and scolded in a deep voice: "How can you speak? Your Majesty is just angry now, and besides, this matter has passed, maybe someone will come to pick up Huai'er back to Beijing in some time. ”

Seeing her father speak for Qin Huai, Yan Biyu became even more angry, and muttered, "Then I'll wait and see how my cousin returns to the imperial city and how she regains her sacred heart." ”

Being stirred up like this, Qin Huai lost any appetite, and she poked the rice in the bowl with chopsticks. Could it be that the Yan family took her in just to pray that one day she could return to Xunyang and bring glory to the Yan family?

At this time, it was Bai Shi who interjected a sentence intentionally or unintentionally, leading the conversation to other events.

"Now that Jasper and Makeup have reached the age of marriage, I don't know which sons in Yunzhou are just the right age, you should pay more attention to your daughters when you are free."

Hearing this, Yan Biyu found the reason for a while, she suddenly showed a smile and pretended to be unintentional and asked, "I heard that my cousin has already been married, I don't know what happened to the concubine after this incident?" ”

Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned.

Although Yan Biyu did not mention being slapped by Qin Huai in the morning, it was obvious that she had found a way to poke Qin Huai better.

That is her concubine Li Qixian, the only son of Tobe Shangshu.

Thinking about the days when she was tired, she was a good-tempered and obedient colt, not only did not intercede for her but also fell into the ground, and in front of her father, she was disloyal and unfilial, and even scolded her for not understanding human ethics, which caused the people in the capital to curse her for a long time.

She has today's downfall, and Li Qixian has to pay half of the responsibility!

"I have no husband and wife with him at all, but my father asked me to marry, and now that I have come to the Yan family, I will no longer pursue the future, and I hope my sister will not mention it again in the future."

Qin Huai was calm, and clearly said that he didn't want to mention this matter again, so he made Yan Biyu deflated.

But Yan Biyu didn't want to let go of this opportunity to insult Qin Huai in vain, so she insisted on asking: "So that's the case, I once heard rumors that my cousin and the son of the Li family, Qin Se and Ming, turned out to be fake, so I said how could a cousin have such a temperament to please a man?" ”

Everyone was silent after her words, and Qin Huai could detect that his uncle had unconsciously kicked Yan Biyu under the table, but since Yan Biyu didn't want to save face for her, she was also happy to embarrass Yan Biyu at the dinner table.

"Naturally, it is false, and there is a cloud in the Analects: hearsay and hearsay, and virtue is abandoned. The rumors that my sister has said since I entered the house are not one or two, how can these gossips be brought to the table, or is it that my sister is so old that she hasn't even read the book well? ”

Qin Huai looked at the disappearing smile on Yan Biyu's face, and said without giving her a chance to breathe: "But I am also one of the best official eunuchs in Xunyang City, listening to my sister's tone, it seems that the future husband is definitely not under the identity of a concubine." ”

Yunzhou is remote, and even a champion has only been produced in three years, let alone the son of a scholar, Qin Huai's words like this are clearly to let the Bai family follow her, and it can be regarded as a tribute to her rudeness this morning.

"You-"

Yan Biyu immediately put the rice bowl in her hand on the table, her expression seemed to be about to fight with Qin Huai, but fortunately, Yan Xiangcheng grabbed her and let her sit back under the tugging.

"Biyu, you should also rest, Huai'er finally came to our Yan family, how can you say that she is also your cousin, if I hear that you are disrespectful to my cousin in the future, I will go to kneel in front of the ancestral tablet."

Yan Luji sighed and accused, and then gave Qin Huai chopsticks and fish meat, but after such a fuss, no one was in the mood to move chopsticks again.
