On July 11 of the ninth year of Wei, the Empress Dowager of the Eagles Kingdom died, and the whole country mourned for it. Wei Zong was sad and missed his mother, and the draft and official selection were postponed to be held half a year later. The previous scandal of the lynx has also come to an end. The entire country of the Eagle became extremely desolate.

"Miss, have you heard that the queen mother of our Eagle Country, the queen mother of King Cheng, has been taken back to the palace."

After dinner, Fang Qingxi and Wanxin chatted inside and outside.

Wan Xin mentioned this matter without warning, and Fang Qingxi couldn't help but be stunned. It had been a long time since she had broken up with King Cheng last time. Last time, his "marry you now" was enough to keep her away. Once such a man gets involved, the consequences are quite serious, and her father's words that day have made her more sober.

"The Queen Mother's return to the palace is an ordinary thing, and it's not a strange thing."

"Listen to the old man in the palace, the queen mother's least favorite thing in her life is the queen mother, the first emperor married the queen mother, the queen mother was extremely reluctant, but she couldn't resist the first emperor. Now that the Empress Dowager has died, there can be no owner in this palace, and the Empress Dowager has been invited back. ”

"Wanxin, the news circulating outside here can't be fully trusted, and besides, this has nothing to do with us."

Fang Qingxi already felt that this kind of thing had anything to do with her, she didn't want Wanxin to develop a habit of gossiping, if Wanxin was punished for this one day, how should she protect her?

"What Miss said is that Wanxin won't dare next time."

Wanxin's words were extremely reluctant, and Fang Qingxi was not easy to say too much.

"Miss, Aunt Xu is here."

Fang Qingxi originally planned to comfort Wanxin, but it happened that at this time, the rosary came to report to her.

"Aunt Xu said something was wrong?"

Aunt Xu has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, but Fang Qingxi remembers the lesson of the last time.

"My aunt said that the master was looking for you."

The rosary didn't say any extra words, how could she not control her mouth as a maid who came out of the outer courtyard? You must know that the maid's words will not only annoy the master, but also make the master more suspicious.

"Miss......"

As soon as she heard that the master was looking for her own miss, Wanxin couldn't help but cast a worried look, she was very afraid that the young lady would talk to the old man unhappily, and she was even more afraid that the old man would ask the young lady for something.

"Rosary, you can accompany me on this trip."

Fang Qingxi knew that Wanxin was feeling sorry for herself, so she handed Wanxin a reassuring look. The reason why she didn't let Wanxin follow her was because she felt that the rosary was from the outer courtyard, and it was convenient to go to the outer courtyard to inquire about something.

"Yes."

After Fang Qingxi's order, the rosary's expression was still the same. When Fang Qingxi saw this scene, he remembered it even more. Such a cautious girl, I'm afraid that the inner courtyard will not be able to get out, and only the outer courtyard has this ability.

Today's Qingyanju is much quieter than in the past, unlike the last time he came to Qingyanju, Fang Qingxi didn't see those people in Cuiweiju, and his heart was also a lot more comfortable.

"Second Miss, the master is waiting for you inside, you can go in quickly."

Aunt Xu carefully reminded on the side, and Qingxi hesitated for a moment and entered the house alone.

As soon as he entered the house, Fang Qingxi saw Fang Weizhong standing alone in front of the window, as if he was looking at the scenery outside, but it didn't seem to be, Fang Qingxi couldn't explain this phenomenon for a while.

"You're here."

Fang Weizhong still didn't turn his head to look at Fang Qingxi, as if he was the only one in the room, and his daughter was just air. But fortunately, Fang Qingxi has long been accustomed to her father's attitude towards her.

"Is there something Daddy is looking for me?"

"Sit down."

Fang Weizhong didn't rush to answer Fang Qingxi anything, he just asked her to sit down first, what he didn't know was that the more he looked like this, the more Fang Qingxi felt nervous.

Fang Weizhong turned around and sat opposite Fang Qingxi, he personally poured a cup of tea for Fang Qingxi, all this was nothing but panic in Fang Qingxi's eyes.

"Recently, there have been a lot of things in the court, and my father doesn't have time to talk to you properly, your eldest sister learns the rules of the palace all day long, and she doesn't have time to accompany you, so you can take care of it more."

"My daughter didn't blame anyone."

"Qingxi, you listen to your father's words. Now that you are twelve, you are not yet in your prime, but you are much more mature than women of the same age, and this is what you are most proud of as a father. Now the draft and official selections in the palace have been postponed for half a year. The draft is not for you, it is enough to have your eldest sister, and the official selection is suitable for you, and my father hopes that you can give it a try. ”

Fang Weizhong calmly said so much to Fang Qingxi for the first time, which Fang Qingxi did not expect at this point. The official election is not impossible for her, and Fang Weizhong's move is undoubtedly in line with her thoughts.

"Daddy thinks his daughter is the material to be a female official? But the daughter is afraid that she will live up to her father's expectations. ”

"Don't be presumptuous, how can my loyal daughter be bad? Qingxi, for your father, believe that you can, and you have to believe in yourself, you know? ”

"My daughter understands."

Although Fang Qingxi didn't know why Fang Weizhong was in a hurry to let a concubine and a female official appear in the Fang family, this had no effect on her in the slightest.

"Tomorrow, let Wuji arrange a course for your father, and then go to Jiaoyanfang."

"My daughter knows."

"It's not too early, go back and rest early, don't get out of the way."

"Hmm."

He Wuji was invited to Qingyanju by Fang Weizhong on the second day, and before he came to Qingyanju, he expected that it would definitely not be easy for Fang Weizhong to find him.

"Guo Shi Fang, I don't know what the national teacher ordered Wu Ji to come here?"

"Wuji, you're here, sit down."

He Wuji didn't take Fang Weizhong's enthusiasm to heart, he knew better than anyone what kind of person Fang Weizhong was, why should he care about the words of people who didn't keep their promises?

"Gongzi He, please use tea."

After He Wuji took a seat, Aunt Xu brought tea and snacks.

Aunt Xu and He Wuji are old acquaintances, and He Wuji is also very kind when he sees Aunt Xu.

"Wuji has been a little busy these days, and he hasn't come to see his aunt, so don't blame my aunt."

"Gongzi He is serious, Gongzi is the master's honored guest today, where is the turn of the slave to blame? Master, the slave went down first. ”

Aunt Xu has always been cautious, it wasn't her who invited He Wuji to come, it was the master, how could she get too close to He Wuji in front of her master?

"Let's go down."

After Aunt Xu left, only Fang Weizhong and He Wuji were left in the house.

"Wuji, the old man asked you, do you think Qingxi is the material for the concubine?"

He Wuji lowered his head and drank tea, as if he was thinking about Fang Weizhong's question.

"The second young lady is smart and beautiful, simple and kind, I am afraid that Gong Yu will swallow her up."

"Then it's not good to find someone to marry casually, no matter what, she is our loyal daughter, how can ordinary people marry?"

"Since the national teacher has made up his mind, why do you bother to ask me?"

"He Wuji, you should recognize your identity. It is true that you are a talented son of the Eagle Country, but you only have a name and no real power, and the old man will not let his daughter marry a powerless person. ”

"Hehe, the national teacher is too worried, and Wuji doesn't have the ability to get the favor of the second lady."

"That's very good."

Fang Weizhong thought that he would spend a little more words with He Wuji, but he didn't expect that He Wuji still had self-knowledge.

"If the national teacher doesn't have other instructions, Wuji will retire first."

At this time, He Wuji held back the anger in his heart, and he was unwilling to stay here for a quarter of an hour.

Without waiting for Fang Weizhong to answer, He Wuji flicked his sleeves and left Qingyan Residence.

"Big brother, do you really want to arrange a draft course for Qingxi? You're crazy! ”

In the small courtyard, when He Lianchen learned from He Wuji that Fang Weizhong wanted Qingxi to participate in the draft, he was upset for his eldest brother, and later learned that his eldest brother was responsible for arranging courses for Qingxi, and his heart was even more angry. Why did he call the eldest brother so much? Isn't this obviously trying to make the eldest brother uncomfortable! However, the eldest brother would agree to Fang Weizhong, which he did not expect.

"Qingxi is the second lady of the Fang family, she has no choice."

"The Fang family doesn't have a Fang Zhiling, and she is not missing!"

Helian Chen didn't understand what He Wuji was in his head, he didn't agree with them being together because he was worried that Hewuji would make Qingxi sad, but he didn't want Hewuji to be sad and hurt because of Qingxi's departure, how could his eldest brother, whom he had loved for many years, give up so easily?

"Lian Chen, no matter what Qingxi looks like, she is the one I did my best to protect. Smooth sailing doesn't necessarily make her grow, and it helps her to experience more. ”

"Is that really what Big Brother thinks?"

Helian Chen didn't believe that the eldest brother would be willing to go to the tiger's den in Longtan, Qingxi was so kind, how could he fight with those women in the palace?

"Lian Chen, you have time to take care of your own affairs, you don't have to worry about my affairs."

Without waiting for Helian Chen to persuade him, He Wuji walked straight into the house, looking at He Wuji's departing back, Helian Chen had nothing but helplessness.

It seems that he is going to plan well for Qingxi.

In the past few days, the noon sun has become more and more poisonous, and Wan Xin has added a lot of ice cubes to the inner room. Because of the hot weather, Fang Zhiling took leave from Jiaoyanfang and stayed at home to escape the heat.

Knowing that Fang Qingxi was arranged by Fang Weizhong to teach Yanfang, Fang Zhiling felt that it was necessary for her to have a good talk with this sister. Jiaoyanfang is different from the house, some things must be thought twice, how can it be easy for young ladies to communicate with each other?

Fang Zhiling came to Rong Pavilion because Qing Xi didn't expect it, you must know that Zhi Ling was extremely reluctant to step into Rong Pavilion from the front, what happened to her today?

Qingxi sat on the stone bench, the long hair pouring down her waist was a little messy under the breeze, and the guqin in front of her played beautiful notes under the agility of her ten fingers.

Fang Qingxi under the sun is as delicate and sweet as a fairy, which makes people unable to extricate themselves after seeing it.

Such a Fang Qingxi, Fang Zhiling has to admit that she is beautiful, and she doesn't seem to be able to reach the realm of Qingxi.

However, people who can play the piano may not live well and live long, so she Fang Zhiling will not envy anyone.

"I heard that Daddy said that he asked Mr. He to arrange a course for you to teach Yanfang?"

Seeing that Fang Zhiling opened her mouth, Qingxi stopped the piano sound, and the expression on her face made it impossible to tell whether she was happy or sad.

"Yes, my father is kind enough to arrange it, and I, as a daughter, can't disobey."

"Daddy is for your good, he wants you to win glory for the Fang family, so you have to work hard and don't lose the face of the Fang family."

Fang Zhiling could also guess that Qingxi had no choice in this matter, all of this was carefully arranged by Fang Weizhong, just like when she was arranged. Thinking of this, Fang Zhiling didn't blame Qingxi as much as before. They are all poor people, so why should they hold on to whom?

"There is an eldest sister in the family, so it's okay if I don't work hard."

Fang Qingxi has never doubted Fang Zhiling's strength, I have to say that Fang Zhiling can be regarded as one of the best ladies in the capital in terms of behavior and speech, and the draft will definitely not be difficult for her. As for whether she is willing to become a concubine, I think everyone has secrets that cannot be explained, and there will be many helplessness in it.

"Qingxi, you can't say that, you are the second lady of the Fang family, the daughter of the national teacher, if you can't choose, won't you make the Fang family lose face, and I'm afraid that it will be difficult to escape punishment at that time. As a sister, I still advise you to be more attentive in Jiaoyanfang, and then enter the palace as a concubine, and you and I can take care of each other. ”

"The eldest sister's kindness is appreciated, but the younger sister knows that she doesn't have that ability, so she can't enter the palace to accompany you."

Fang Qingxi didn't intend to tell Fang Zhiling what Fang Weizhong said to her, the less people knew about such a conversation, the better.

"Okay, it's quite hot this day, so I won't disturb my sister's practice here."

"Eldest sister, walk slowly."

After sending Fang Zhiling away, Fang Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could finally be quiet for a while. However, can she really calm down?

"Miss, Mr. He is here."
