Jiang Hu finally agreed to go to the appointment, and was willing to go to Wenren Yixiao Pavilion to meet Duan Xiaolang, which also gave Qin Huai a chance to rethink.

"I entered the palace because my adoptive mother was ashamed and wanted to inquire about the follow-up of that incident. But she also asked me to take care of the princess, and she wanted to know what kind of person you have become, if it is really beneficial to Tianyu, and if her decision was wrong...... But now it seems that she made the right decision, and you are now a real princess. ”

At that time, when Jiang Hu said this, his expression and movements did not seem to be fake, if he didn't feel it, he wouldn't be so moved.

Moreover, these days, Jiang Hu has only appeared by her side, but he has not done anything bad to Qin Huai, so he should not be a bad person.

Of course, Qin Huai also asked her what her plans were in the palace now.

"If it weren't for outsiders interfering in that incident, I'm afraid there would not have been a final result, and Ying Guifei's dead adoptive mother suspected that someone else was secretly plotting. But if the replaced child still exists, sooner or later it will threaten the status of the princess, and instead of making him a threat, it is better for us to find him and take the initiative into our own hands, so as to avoid any changes. ”

When Jiang Hu said these words expressionlessly, Qin Huai was frightened by her. Regardless of whether that person is the blood of his father and mother, he is a human life. Even if it is missing arms and legs, or whether it looks terrible, it is a living life, how can it be at the mercy of ......

It seems that Jiang Hu and Mu Guanqing are not all in common, they are at least the same people who don't care about the process in order to achieve their goals, as if the life and death of outsiders are not important to them at all.

"Princess, but anyone who is in a high position, who is not stained with other people's blood on his hands, as long as you are safe, can you protect the reputation of the noble concubine, after I go back, I will also explain to my adoptive mother, saying that I have lived up to her entrustment. Besides, if there is another reason for the death of Ying's concubine, Weichen must also find the real culprit behind the scenes! ”

It turned out that Qin Huai was not the only one who suspected that there was another reason for the death of the concubine, but she was too young at the beginning, and no one would believe what she said.

When she was in the palace, Qin Huai was not interrupted by Jiang Hu's words, she said that she would think about it and give Jiang Hu a reply after thinking about it.

Qin Huai still has doubts about Jiang Hu's identity, and she still needs to ask more female officials about this matter. But another question is whether Mu Guanqing knows about this matter, and does he know where the baby boy who was replaced is.

The mother concubine is by no means a ruthless person, even if the child is no longer able to look at her directly, she will never hurt him, just like if she is disobedient, the mother concubine is also slowly induced.

So, if he is still alive, he should be as talented as himself, and if he is still alive, will he be sent out of the palace, or will he hide in a place where others can't find him? Somebody will know, right......

If even the female official doesn't know, if he really finds it, the real deserving Fourth Prince of Tianyu should be that person.

Qin Huai is just an impostor, standing in Tianyu's position, Mu Guanqing, a person with a clear distinction between public and private, even if he has a close personal relationship with himself, once there is moral pressure, there is no guarantee that he will really choose to unite with him.

In the past few days, Qin Huai has been very worried, knocking on the side of the bright moon and Caixia, and asking many times if he can share his worries. Qin Huai shook his head every time, and continued to hold the gold bracelet in his hand in a daze.

Caixia guessed several times that it was the relic of Ying Guifei, and this matter was naturally related to Ying Guifei. But the princess has been indifferent for so many years, and now that the old things are brought up, there must be a turning point.

In recent days, those who have been neglected in recent days, in addition to the rice paper that came to visit the door to no avail, Yin Wenze, who was coaxed out by Pu Chenming all day long, and Gu Baixiu, who had already handed over everything to the brothers of the Broken Army Mountain Division.

He watched Qin Huai always hold a sachet in his hand today, but his thoughts had already drifted out of the clouds.

"What has the princess been worrying about lately?"

On this day, Gu Baixiu finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, and actually opened his mouth first.

Qin Huai didn't want to trouble him about this matter, after all, it was involved in the old things in the palace, Gu Baixiu, a person who had never been contaminated with the world, didn't know the cause and effect, and he didn't know the dealings in the palace, so it was actually difficult to control this matter.

"Bai Xiu, you came just in time, I asked you to help me investigate Jiang Hu, the painter in the palace, but what is the clue?"

She could only start with a few small things, such as the results of the investigation of the previous incident.

Gu Baixiu really hadn't forgotten about this matter, but because Qin Huai's previous thoughts were not on this matter, he put it on hold.

"There are indeed some informants, she grew up in Xunyang since she was a child, and I heard that she was adopted, and the person who adopted her also went out of the palace in the past. They have always been cautious and never revealed their official positions in the palace, so some people speculated that the woman had made some mistakes in the palace. Just a few years ago, the woman died, leaving Jiang Hu to run for election in the Calligraphy and Painting Garden. ”

Gu Baixiu's investigation results are completely consistent with what Jiang Hu said, but the story about the mother concubine cannot be verified for the time being.

Could it be that there are only a few of them in the entire palace who know about this?

In the past few days, Qin Huai didn't care about the mountains of things outside, thinking that she was already the princess of Pingle, and she had pushed away all the greetings and entertainments, and even the rice paper came to the door, and she had no heart to respond.

But this time, it was Mu Guanqing's side, Qingchi.

If it is not necessary, Qingchi will not come back.

"Princess, the queen mother and Ye Guifei, please move to the palace now. The thirty-two alternative nobles have already arrived in the palace, and the female official also invites you to go over and take a look, and you need to choose twenty to come out today to participate in the selection of the side concubines to be held in the Three Princes' Mansion the day after tomorrow. ”

It stands to reason that the queen and the Ye family chose a side concubine for the three emperor brothers, Qin Huai couldn't be the master of this matter at all, and they must have a candidate who has already caught their eyes, so why bother to join in the fun?

"Why do you want me to go?" Qin Huai couldn't figure it out, and asked through the window.

Qingchi was outside, and he had to answer any questions: "The female official has taken special care, if you don't take a look at it at this time, if there is something unpleasant in the future, I am afraid that you will panic." ”

There are few people who can make her panic, there are few people in Xunyang, is it the Cao Yingying who appeared in Yunzhou City? Otherwise, Li Qixian's new daughter-in-law, Zhu Daier, remarried?

But their identities should have been eliminated in the first batch.

"Since the female officers have said so, I'll pack up and go right away."

After all, she was going to meet a group of women, as Princess Pingle, she had to dress in line with the palace norms, and she had to show momentum, otherwise how could she help the rice paper.

Qin Huai was recording with pen and paper along the way, it is best to choose those who know some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the appearance is not too good-looking, although those women will be compared in front of rice paper after all, but it is inevitable that the three emperor brothers will get drunk and faint one day.

It is also very important to get along with each other, and people as considerate as rice paper must understand each other if they want to get along for a long time.

"Princess, we are going to help the third prince choose a concubine, not to choose a sister for Miss Xuan Paper. According to your standards, I'm afraid that the noble girls of those families won't be able to get into your eyes at all, so it's better to just let Miss Xuan's girl fill the room. ”

Mingyue watched her master sketch on a piece of paper, scribbling and changing, it was really necessary to persuade her.

There have never been sisters in this palace, and even if they are sisters, sooner or later they will fight out of power and glory.

Now the princess is thinking too much, no matter who it is, as long as it is a woman, as long as she is greedy for power and is supported by others, then she will inevitably have a conflict with Miss Xuan.

Qin Huai pushed Mingyue and hurriedly told her to shut up.

"Bah, what are you talking about, I'm also thinking about rice paper. I didn't know that these noble ladies had their own purposes, but I had to find a top-notch one among the short ones. ”

Caixia couldn't bear to see them arguing, and opened the sedan curtain to reach the outside of the palace, so she interrupted: "Princess, let's get out of the car." ”

Thirty-two noble ladies had arrived at the palace, and the carriages parked outside marked their family history.

They are Qian Shilang of the Ministry of War, Cheng Taibao, the supervisor of the country, and Shangguan's family...... These are all very important figures in the imperial court, otherwise they will have their own advantages, so their daughters will naturally not get along very well.

This time, the meeting between the nobles and the queen and the Ye family was arranged outside the Liuyun Pavilion in the Imperial Garden, and Qin Huai approached the Yu Garden, and he heard that it was very lively.

Some people were playing music, some people set up a stage, and some people picked flowers and fluttered butterflies, almost colliding with Qin Huai.

But the woman didn't know Qin Huai, and thought she was a noble girl from which family, so she just nodded at her and walked away.

Until...... The azalea bush suddenly trembled, which made Qin Huai startled, as if she was dazzled and saw something rushing over.

As she walked forward, she suddenly heard a "meow".

All the while, the white Persian cat, slipped from the azalea bush to her embroidered shoes and poured joy at her.

This......

Qin Huai almost thought he was wrong.

Isn't this Xunyang!

"Princess...... Don't? Mingyue also remembered, and hurriedly took Qin Huai's hand, and her heart went up and down.

Immediately, the owner of the Persian cat appeared.

"The daughter of the lord of Yunzhou City, I have seen Princess Pingle."

The woman in front of her was dressed in an emerald green dress, with a beautiful posture and beautiful appearance, without any arrogance, a proper palace ceremony, which made people unable to find any mistakes.

It's really her!

If it weren't for the fact that her appearance hadn't changed, Qin Huai really thought that he had recognized the wrong person.

The intonation, posture, and attitude are completely different!

"After a long absence, does Princess Pingle still remember the courtiers?"

How can you forget that on the day of parting, this woman was still carrying a kitchen knife and wanted to cut herself to avenge the sorrow of killing her mother!

"Naturally, cousin."
