"Naturally, it is a good thing that Lord Ji's family sent over, but I am shallow in knowledge, I am afraid that I can't taste the tea, so I will thank Lord Ji for his hospitality."

Qian Sen couldn't help but be embarrassed on his face, but he still tried hard to maintain his face, although Ji Haosheng's face was not obvious, but Miss Ji, who was hiding behind the screen, couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.

"Lord Qian is also joking, all the good things in the world should be sent to the emperor's palace, I am just ordinary people's tea here, it should be that adults don't dislike me."

Ji Haosheng politely returned the sentence back, and then lowered his head. Suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but say, "By the way, Master Qian just said, you specially went to the palace with Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites today to ask for a meeting, and I don't know what the two of you are asking for?" ”

Qian Sen put down the teacup, he sat here for a while, and waited for Ji Haosheng to take the initiative to ask this question before he had a chance to speak. Now that he finally heard that Ji Haosheng finally asked, Qian Sen was happy in his heart, and after finally suppressing it, he said with an embarrassed face.

"Originally, it was the Lord of the Ministry of Rites who was worried, so I accompanied him to go with him, this matter is not big, it is not small, it has nothing to do with me, but it has a little bit of involvement with the adult's family."

Ji Haosheng was a little timid, he would never be involved in any whirlpools, where could he withstand his scare, and immediately became nervous, "What is this, it makes you pay so much attention, and please tell me truthfully." ”

"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing, if it happens, maybe it's a good thing." Qian Sen smiled and waved his hand, but in his heart he laughed at him for embarrassing his big responsibility.

"By the way, I heard that there is a daughter in the adult's family, who was born like a flower and jade, and her upbringing is also very regular and sensible, and she is famous among the officials and relatives of the capital."

"Ah, although the little girl Xiaolan is smart and clever, and she has been praised by many ladies in the family, she really can't afford the money, such praise from adults. Could it be that this matter has something to do with the little girl? When Ji Haosheng mentioned his daughter, although he was more modest, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart. But Qian Sen's previous words were not clear, so he would always be a little difficult to let go of in his heart.

"I remember this official, when I was a child, I also saw the young lady of the adult's family, even today, the young lady should be sixteen or seventeen years old, maybe it's time to marry someone."

Qian Sen nodded, deliberately hiding this topic in this direction, but Ji Haosheng didn't notice it, just smiled blindly, "Although the little girl is sensible, she has a heart to be motivated, and she doesn't want the official to find a good son-in-law for her, so she pins her hopes on this year's or next year's draft, thinking that maybe she can enter the palace to serve the emperor." If the little girl can really enter the palace, this is also a blessing that my Ji family has cultivated for several generations. ”

Hearing this, Ji Xiaolan, who was hiding behind the screen, was moved, grabbed the handkerchief in her hand tightly, and couldn't help but think in her heart: I am worthy of being the father who loves me the most since I was a child, and he has never mentioned my life's major events for so long, but he has been thinking about it in his heart.

However, what Qian Sen was going to say in front of her for a while poured cold water on her. Qian Sen deliberately tested Ji Haosheng with these words before, but now that he has the exact news, he can speak his mind boldly.

"Alas, it's just a pity that Your Majesty and the Queen are husband and wife, and they don't like others to intervene in it, and even the Emperor Taishang has already agreed that His Majesty is not in the draft. In addition, the queen still has a dragon heir in her belly, and these ministers under us want to find an excuse to admonish, but there is no way. ”

"It's a pity that a talented and good-looking girl like an adult could have become the master of the first house of the harem, but now she can only dispel this idea." Qian Sen said, shaking his head with some pity for others. Ji Haosheng didn't have such a plan, so he didn't feel very uncomfortable, but he was really worried about Ji Xiaolan.

"By the way, Lord Ji might as well invite Miss out to meet with the official, who is also Miss's uncle, but I haven't seen her for a long time. Besides, Miss is so angry, she must be sad to learn about this, instead of telling your father and daughter to be depressed after they go back, it is better for me to be this wicked person and tell Miss in person, and also save Lord Ji a wish. ”

Qian Sen was so thoughtful that Ji Haosheng was even more moved when he heard it, and immediately turned his head and ordered, "Go to the backyard quickly, please clean up and come out to meet the guests." ”

The little guy standing in the corner heard it, but he really saw Ji Xiaolan standing in front of him, and he was hesitating and didn't know how to agree, so Ji Xiaolan hurriedly beckoned him to step back, and he waited for a moment before coming out from behind the screen, pretending to have just come over, and walked out.

"I heard my father's voice in the back, I don't know what the father had to say when he called his daughter to come?" Ji Xiaolan walked out with a faint smile on her face, stood in the center of the hall, and bowed down to Ji Haosheng and Qian Sen Yingying. Qian Sen, who is used to making small movements, can see at a glance that Ji Xiaolan is wrong, but this is what he wants to see, so he didn't debunk it.

"This is your Uncle Qian, I am also an official in the court, and I am in charge of the Ministry of Officials, when you were young, your husband took you to Lord Qian's house a few times." Ji Haosheng raised his hand, and then gave his daughter a brief introduction.

Ji Xiaolan listened, and nodded to Qian Sen obediently. "Uncle Qian."

Qian Sen smiled, "No, the outside has always praised the young lady of the Ji family for being knowledgeable and courteous, Lord Ji, your family really has a good girl." ”

"Lord Qian praised it falsely." Ji Haosheng said politely.

"Lord Qian won the prize." And Ji Xiaolan had something in her heart, and quietly squeezed the handkerchief in her hand a little tighter, and couldn't help but spend it politely with him like this, so she took the initiative to ask.

"I just don't know what Lord Qian and my father have to say to me, I'm still waiting to be able to go back quickly and finish the clothes I will wear when I enter the palace draft next day."

"It's really that the bigger the more unruly," Ji Haosheng pretended to frown angrily, but Qian Sen waved his hand, "It's okay, it wasn't an important thing in the first place, but it disturbed Miss's time." But after the young lady's outfit is ready, let's keep it for myself, but I don't need it to enter the palace in the draft? ”

"What my lord means by this, Xiaolan doesn't understand." Although Ji Xiaolan had heard it clearly in the back, she still couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in her heart when she learned it again.

"It's a pity that the daughter of such a symbol as Miss, but Your Majesty is an affectionate person, and she is really disappointed. Miss, don't be angry, I have tried our best to persuade Lord Shang, but His Majesty and the Emperor Taishang have already made up their minds not to draft any more, Miss, you better put your mind elsewhere, no matter what, we can't resist the emperor. ”

Qian Sen picked up the cup, shook his head with a very sympathetic look, and took a sip. Ji Xiaolan was almost so angry that her eyes were red, but she held back the great grief and indignation in her heart and forced a smile.

"It's just that there is no draft, Your Majesty loves the queen affectionately, and it can be regarded as a good story in the world, so I don't know if there is a special case of promoting the daughter of the minister into the palace, no matter how you say it, Your Majesty should also consider it for the emperor's heir."

"Your Majesty doesn't even want to give a big draft girl to enter the palace, so he won't give him the opportunity to choose a few lovely people for himself, how can he relax and choose at will in the home of a meritorious person, wouldn't that make other adults with school-age ladies in the family indignant." After Qian Sen said that, he was satisfied to see that the look on Ji Xiaolan's face could no longer be pretended, so he rolled his eyes again, deliberately mentioning other topics.

"Besides, the official and Lord Shang have not been persuaded on the grounds of the emperor's heir, but the queen mother is now pregnant with one in her belly, although she has not yet been born, but in the end, it is His Majesty's wife, born to the orthodox queen mother in the palace, I am afraid that even if it is a princess, she will be loved by His Majesty and the Emperor. And His Majesty and Niangniang are still young, even if they want to have a few more children, it is not impossible, so this road is completely cut off for us. ”

While saying, Qian Sen secretly looked at the emotional changes on Ji Xiaolan's face. "Coupled with the deep blessings of the queen's mother, it is impossible for her to give birth to this child."

"That's it, the official came out today to say enough, so I won't bother Lord Ji and Miss, the official will leave, and Lord Ji will stay." The words that Chanson wanted to say and the reminders he wanted to make had already achieved his goal, so he turned his face and planned to leave him.

Ji Haosheng, who wanted to send him off, stretched out his hand and turned around, and when he saw Ji Xiaolan who was grieving, he also felt the same in his heart, and just wanted to give her some comfort, "Xiaolan, you don't have to be sad, my father will definitely find you the best man in the world." ”

But Ji Xiaolan is on the rise now, where can she listen to his words, and she also dragged her handkerchief and ran away crying.

Qian Sen walked out of the door of Ji's house, happy in his heart, and only hoped that Ji Haosheng would be able to do things for his daughter. However, he thought that he had done his things safely and thoughtfully, and he did not show any traces, but he didn't want to fall into Murong Lin's eyes long ago.

The next morning, it was clear that there was nothing to do, but Murong Lin called Qian Sen to the upper study, and the two of them were still alone. Qian Sen stood in the middle of the study, and saw that Murong Lin was pacing back and forth, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his head.

"I heard that yesterday, Lord Qian went to meet the Emperor Taishang, but is there such a thing?" Murong Lin was holding a book in his hand, with one hand behind his back, and he already had the majestic demeanor of a superior person.
