Deng Wenya struggled again, choked up, "The emperor is the king of a country but so light, although the people's daughter has a low status, she doesn't dare to insult the reputation of her family, if the emperor doesn't let the people's daughter go home, the people's daughter only wants to die!" ”

Xiao Chengzong saw that her eyes were red and her eyes were full of tears, but she refused to fall, and he rarely felt a little pity for the jade, and remembered that if he really brought Deng Wenya into the palace like this, it would be difficult for the Xie family to explain, so he had to say, "Forget it, I prefer you so many rules!"

Rong Xuan, you personally sent Miss Deng back, and told my senior sister that I had a skin-to-skin relationship with Miss Deng, but it was not good to accept her.

There is still a good concubine vacant in the position of the four concubines in the harem, and the Ministry of Rites will choose a good day and an auspicious day to accept it, and the etiquette will be in accordance with the rules, and Miss Deng will never be wronged."

Rong Xuan received the order, and Xiao Chengzong reluctantly let Deng Wenya dismount, and comforted, "Don't be afraid, it's not your fault, I will soon take you into the palace."

Deng Wenya couldn't stop shivering, standing in the cold wind of the evening, straight like a willow branch trembling in winter and spitting out new shoots.

Xiao Chengzong felt that the blood in his body began to boil again, for fear that he would regret it, so he hurriedly galloped away with the horse's belly, Xiao Yin glanced at Deng Wenya, and beat the horse to follow.

Ning Shenzhi looked at Rong Xuan, "Commander Rong, Miss Deng is a noble girl in the boudoir, so don't collide."

Rong Xuan clasped his fists and saluted, "The king of the county can rest assured."

Ning Shenzhi nodded at Deng Wenya, and chased after Xiao Chengzong.

……

……

Rong Xuanqin sent Deng Wenya to the Qiu Mansion, and personally retold the words of Xiao Chengzong to the Xie family, and then said goodbye and left.

Qiu's mansion exploded, and Qiu's family hugged Deng Wenya excitedly, crying, "My son, I know that my son is a blessed person!" It's not a shame that I've been piling a lot of silver on you since I was a child! ”

Qiu Shixing's face was pale, he waved his subordinates away, and shouted, "Kneel down for me!" What the hell is going on? How did you fall from the teahouse for no reason! ”

Deng Wenya knelt down softly, fell to the ground and wept, but refused to say anything.

Qiu Shixing looked at Mrs. Qiu angrily, "The emperor came to the mansion today, why did you let her go out and walk at will?" ”

Mrs. Qiu was also very angry, "I have to ask her about this, she has good skills, I tortured her just now, only to know that she actually bribed the mother-in-law who guarded the door and sneaked out!" Don't talk about me, it's the Xie family, I'm afraid I don't know! ”

Xie nodded, she had been accompanying Xiao Chengzong in the afternoon, even if the steward found out, he didn't dare to bother her with such a thing.

Deng Wenya cried mournfully, but still refused to speak, Mrs. Qiu asked, "What about the maid who followed her?" ”

Xie replied, "She went out alone."

Mrs. Qiu slammed the table angrily, "What a big guts!" A lady dares to go out alone! Aren't you afraid to shoot the flowers for you? ”

Qiu Shi hurriedly said, "Grandmother is angry, fortunately, there is nothing now, today Sister Ya'er is also frightened, it's not that the emperor picked it up quickly, how can she still die if she falls from the second floor?" What will we talk about tomorrow? ”

Qiu Shixing shouted, "At this time, you still dare to intercede for her!" You kneel for me too! ”

Qiu didn't dare to say any more, and knelt down aggrieved, Xie looked at Qiu Zhengshen, who also had a bad face, and spoke, "According to Commander Rong's statement, the only one who knows that it was Sister Ya'er who fell is the emperor, the crown prince, the king of Ningjun and the commander Rong."

The emperor's child's temperament, he forgot it after a few days, and he was willing to listen to my few words of persuasion, if his grandfather and grandmother really didn't want Sister Ya'er to enter the palace, I would go to the palace to try."

Qiu was anxious, "How can that work?" Sister Ya'er has already had a skin-to-skin relationship with the emperor, who can she marry if she doesn't enter the palace? ”

Xie Shi said lightly, "The matter is urgent, as long as the emperor gives an order, no one will dare to gossip."

Qiu Shixing nodded in agreement, sure enough, at this critical time, everyone's granddaughter-in-law showed her insight, "Then it will bother you, if it doesn't work, we will think of other ways."

Seeing Qiu Shixing's words, Qiu Shi was even more anxious, and hurriedly said, "Entering the palace to be a mother, or one of the four concubines, that is a great creation, how can it be pushed out?" Never! ”

"Shut up! Woman's view! ”

It was about his daughter's future, Qiu didn't know where he got the courage, and shouted loudly, "Grandfather, Sister Ya's surname is Deng, not surnamed Qiu, and she can't enter the palace, but it's not for grandfather to interfere!" ”

Qiu Shixing fell down angrily, threw up his sleeves and left, "Okay! At this time, I remembered that Sister Ya'er was not surnamed Qiu! It's your Deng family's people, I don't care what your Deng family loves! ”

For a while, everyone in the hall was silent, only Deng Wenya couldn't control her sobbing, Mrs. Qiu sighed heavily, and said, "This palace as a concubine is not as beautiful as it looks on the surface, don't say anything else, just look at what the other three concubines of the four concubines live in the palace."

Qiu immediately retorted, "That's because those three ladies are not favored, and the concubine is not more beautiful than anyone else, and if you say something, it is not much worse than the queen."

Qiu Zheng said in a deep voice, "You still want to compare with Concubine Su!" The prince is thirteen years old this year! ”

Qiu Shi didn't speak, but obviously not convinced, Mrs. Qiu looked at her, and couldn't help but persuade, "The emperor is old and uncertain, Sister Ya'er is only fifteen years old, how can you let her enter the palace alone?"

Once you enter the palace, whether you want to see her or she wants to see you, it will be difficult! ”

Qiu said, "Aren't all people who marry daughters the same in this world? Even if it's not a distant marriage, is there still a reason for the married daughter to run to her parents' house every day-"

When she said this, she suddenly remembered that she was a permanent resident of her mother's family, and said busily, "When a man's family is older, he will feel sorry for people, and the emperor will be thirty years old, which is the time when he is in the prime of life."

Mrs. Qiu sighed, "You are Sister Ya'er's mother-in-law, and we are also Sister Ya'er's relatives, who doesn't want her to be good?" Can we still hurt her? ”

Qiu Shi choked up, "If it's good, how can I think of sending her to the palace?" Now it is God's will to become like this, I am Sister Ya'er's mother, and I can't stop her future! ”

Seeing that she didn't eat oil and salt, Mrs. Qiu sighed again and got up to leave.

Qiu Zhengshen slowly walked to Qiu's mother and daughter, and said in a deep voice, "Little sister, you know how I have treated you with your sister-in-law over the years, how I have treated Sister Ya and Brother Zhong.

Sister Ya'er is my in-law's niece, and I have treated her more than Sister Sui and Sister Wei over the years, and I will not harm her.

If you are really good for Sister Ya'er, listen to your grandfather's arrangement, I will say all I have to say, you go back and think about it carefully, and come back tomorrow morning to find your sister-in-law."

Qiu Zhengshen said and stretched out his hand to help Xie, and the two walked out of the house past Qiu's mother and daughter, leaving only Qiu and Deng Wenya in the house.

Qiu knelt for a long time, then stood up suddenly, "No, this is a big deal, I can't be the master of a woman's family, I want to write a letter to ask your father and grandfather to enter Beijing!" ”

She turned around and ran out, remembering that Deng Wenya was still kneeling on the ground, so she hurriedly turned around and pulled Deng Wenya, who was crying uncontrollably, up, and walked quickly to her yard with her......

……

……

In the palace of the king of Ningjun, Yun Wen said respectfully, "The king of the county, the matter has been investigated, Miss Deng quietly came out of the corner door of the Qiu Mansion at the moment of Shen Shi, wrapped in the blue and white cloth headscarf commonly used by the old woman.

Shen Shizhong entered the teahouse, the turban was gone, I thought it was thrown halfway, and said to the shopkeeper that if a girl came to ask the seventh girl, he would bring it over to see her.

After that, Miss Deng waited in the private room of the teahouse, did not go out, and no other girls went to look for her, until she suddenly fell from the second floor."

Ning Shenzhi raised his eyebrows, "Did she fall from the building intentionally?" ”

Yun Wen said, "The county king was at the scene at the time, thinking that if someone else was pushing Miss Deng down, the county king would definitely know about it, and the Xuan commander would also find out."

Now it depends on whether she accidentally fell down the stairs intentionally, and in the humble opinion of her subordinates, it is more likely that Miss Deng intentionally did this.

In the afternoon of the same day, Miss Deng already knew that the emperor was coming to the enemy's mansion, no matter how important the appointment was, it should not be wandering around at this time, and a girl made an appointment to meet another girl, no matter how important the matter, there was no need to get rid of the personal maid, on the contrary, it was the best choice to let the personal maid guard the door and watch the wind.

Moreover, the girl she met never showed up, and it is very likely that there was no such girl at all, and it was she who was suspicious in order to clear her suspicions."

Ning Shenzhi is "wise among women".

Feng Zhinan frowned, "How could Yinyin's cousin be like this?" ”

Ning Shenzhi wanted to say that there was something more insidious and disgusting, but Xie Jianing's words, he really couldn't say it, even in front of Feng Zhinan, so he had to remain silent.

Ning Shenzhi waved his hand, "You go down and see how the Qiu Mansion responds."

Yunwen bowed and retreated, Feng Zhinan was puzzled, "You don't stop it?" ”

"I have already sent someone to report to Miss Qiu San, see what she means."

Feng Zhinan thought for a while, "I remember that she had a good relationship with her cousin, and she should want to stop it."

Ning Shenzhi fell behind, "No, she will probably stand by coldly."

……

……

The next day, Qiu Zhengshen waited left and right without waiting for Qiu's family, seeing that it was too late, he had to sigh and go to the office.

Seeing that he was leaving, Xie sent someone to call Deng Wenya, Deng Wenya was supported by Qiu's family, and when he arrived at the gate of Liuguang Courtyard, Qiu's family was stopped.

Qiu was anxious, Deng Wenya bit her lip, "Mother, I'll go in by myself."

Qiu saw that she was resolute, but he was really afraid of Xie, so he had to nod.

In the distance, Deng Wenya heard the elegant and distant piano sound, which was "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night".

The maid led her into the main room for a while, and there was a sweet incense burning in the moment, Xie's long hair was not tied, and she was loosely tied with a bright red ribbon around her waist, and in the warm room like spring, she was only wearing a plain bedclothes, and only wearing Luo socks on the soft brocade carpet, such a casual dress to the extreme made her elegant to the extreme, clear to the extreme, and dusty to the extreme.

Deng Wenya was stunned when she looked at it, and before the song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" was over, Xie Shi looked up and looked at Deng Wenya quietly.

Deng Wenya lowered his eyes and curtsied, "Uncle."

The maid didn't know when she had retreated, and in the faint sweet fragrance, Xie Shi's cold voice sounded, "If you go, no matter what kind of wealth and wealth you have in the future, you will be lonely for the rest of your life, I only ask you, are you from your heart?" ”

Deng Wenya silently took a step back, leaned over and bowed, and slammed her head three times, her white forehead suddenly swelled, mixed with red and purple blood, which was shocking.

"Thank you for your aunt's great kindness, and thank my aunt for treating me as her own for many years, and she has never been slow or biased. Second, Aunt Xie avenged me when I was cheaply for Miao Jingya.

Aunt Sanxie warned me at this time, lest I take the wrong path and not turn back. My aunt's great kindness, I will never forget it! ”

As she spoke, she slammed her head three times, her eyes were red, and tears kept slipping from the corners of her eyes, but her expression did not hesitate at all, and her body did not tremble for half a minute, and she respectfully retreated to the flower gate and turned to leave.

Behind him, the music started again, but this time, it was replaced by "Ambush on All Sides", Deng Wenya's footsteps paused, and she choked uncontrollably, and her straight spine suddenly bent down.

She stood silently for a moment, took a deep breath, straightened her back again, and walked out......

……

……

In the Qilu Pavilion, Xie Jiamian was stumbling and playing the piano, Xie Tan endured it for a while, and couldn't bear it anymore, "Forget it, don't play, Bai Chang has such good-looking hands!" ”

Xie Jiamian's appearance is very standard Xie family appearance, delicate and warm, full of bookishness, far less amazing and eye-catching than Xie Tanwei and Xie Jiashu, but a pair of hands are very good, and the fingers are particularly long.

Xie Tanwei refused to give up, such a similar scene had been staged several times in Qilu Pavilion in the past few days.

Xie Jiamian was ashamed to get up and clench his fists, Qiu Xiyin smiled, "Brother Jiu is going to take a career in the future, will these things be harmless."

Xie Tanwei was even more unhappy, "What kind of career does the Xie family take, you use dim sum, just rely on your hands, not to mention becoming a generation of famous people, it is always enough to be a master."

While a few people were talking, Yunhe walked in, and after saluting, he first told Ning Shenzhi about interceding for the Xie family, and then carefully talked about Deng Wenya's affairs before and after, and finally said, "Because Miss Deng is more or less related to the Xie family, the king of the county sent me to ask the meaning of the fourth prince."

Xie Tanwei was inexplicable, "What do you mean by asking?" It's not a sound—"

When he said this, he covered his mouth violently, and snorted several times in a row, flattering Xiang Qiu Xiyin, "Yinyin, your cousin is a powerful one, you should stay away from her in the future."

After Qiu Xiyin remembered Miao Jingya's incident, Deng Wenya's resentful and fierce look on her face had scared Cao Tong to cry, and nodded, "Little uncle, don't worry, she will be a good concubine after entering the palace, and she will naturally have nothing to do with us, and with her father's temperament, most of them will stay away."

Xie Tan nodded slightly in agreement, "Brother-in-law can be clear about this kind of major right and wrong."

Yunhe thought about it and said, "The fourth prince and the third girl, there is one thing, the king of the county did not tell me, I have one more mouth."

Yesterday, the emperor went to Qiu's mansion and ripped off the jade pendant on the waist of His Royal Highness the prince and gave it to the fourth girl Qiu, probably to determine the meaning of the fourth girl to be the princess, but the emperor did not say it clearly, and others did not dare to guess at will."

Xie Tan was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "This is too hasty-"
