After eating, rinsing her mouth and cleaning her hands, Amber brought lotus heart tea.

"Miss, this lotus heart is not as good as our own."

Mu Qingyan smiled, took the teacup and lifted the lid to look at it, "This is a tribute, and the lion peak only produces three or five catties." "Well, the fragrance is a little worse, it's okay." ”

Cinnabar is back.

"Miss, follow the old lady's little servant and say that the old lady is going to fast for a few days in Daxiangguo Temple."

Mu Qingyan couldn't help but roll her eyelids, "When did Grandpa also believe in the Buddha?" ”

All the maids laughed.

"Naughty again!" Chu Han came in with Yu Ranqing's hand.

Amber was busy making tea again, and the three of them were gossiping under the porch, and a few maids were busy with each other.

"Yan'er, the emperor's wedding at the beginning of next month, have you prepared a congratulatory gift?" Yu Ranqing asked Mu Qingyan with a smile, and while she was not at ease, she instructed: "The clothes should also be prepared in advance, you can't escape such a national celebration." ”

Mu Qingyan lay lazily on the table, muttering helplessly, "What's the matter with me, I can't succeed in a few days of peace, I have to be dragged into the crowd and judged by my character, it's boring." ”

"I've known you for at least fifteen years, but I didn't know you looked like this?" Yu Ranqing reached out and pinched Mu Qingyan's face, teasing her: "What kind of heart do you say, others hate to make themselves more beautiful, but you want to paint like that." ”

Mu Qingyan glanced at her and raised her eyebrows, "Tell me when did you fall in love with my brother?" ”

Yu Ranqing blushed and bowed her head silently.

Chu Han hugged Yu Ranqing and said with a smile, "Still shy, the child will be born in a few months, are you still afraid that she won't be able to ask?" ”

Yu Ranqing suddenly thought of something, "Yan'er, are you okay to let the two children of that young go out?" ”

"Yes, yes, Yan'er, you want the two little things back, I haven't been close enough before I left again." Chu Han complained once, and seeing that Mu Qingyan didn't pay attention to it at all, he was so anxious that he yelled at her, "What kind of place is the beggar gang, you are not afraid that he will suffer, and I am reluctant!" ”

Mu Qingyan frowned, and said viciously, "Didn't I run around outside when I was so old, why don't I see you worrying?" ”

"Nonsense, you have a lot of eyes since you were a child, and it's good if others don't suffer." Chu Han looked at her coldly.

Mu Qingyan didn't care, "Just those two little things, there are only a lot more ghost eyes than me!" Besides, there are so many people to protect them, what kind of loss can they suffer! One hand stretched out to Yu Ranqing's stomach, "You give her a few more quickly, so that she doesn't have to talk about it every day." ”

Chu Han stretched out his arm and patted Mu Qingyan's head, "Ghost girl!" When he went to see Yu Ranqing again, his face was full of joy, "Yes, yes, my aunt will have to wait for several months to hug me!" ”

The laughter and laughter of the courtyard were disturbed.

When Cinnabar hesitated to say something, she was glared at by Mu Qingyan idly.

"Miss, Mother Lin said that the eldest young master of Nangong is visiting, outside the gate!"

Chu Han's face fell instantly, "What did he do, he replied to him as before, this also needs to be reported, Mother Lin is really becoming more and more ignorant of the rules." ”

"Auntie, the little guy said that the eldest young master of Nangong had been waiting outside the door all morning, and he refused to leave no matter how much he persuaded him, and now there are many people around, so he can't make up his mind, so he asked to ask." Cinnabar replied smartly.

Chu Hanteng stood up, and even his eyes were a little annoyed, "I'll go and see what he's going to do!" ”

Mu Qingyan squinted her eyes, and her lips showed a touch of evil spirit, "Auntie, our Mu family's jokes, add one more, subtract one a lot, let him make trouble, don't pay attention to it." ”

"I hated his weakness back then, and I knew that I couldn't let go of you in my heart, why didn't you just get a reputation for dedication? I can't give up a beautiful concubine, how can this kind of man be rare in my Mu family! "Chu Han was angry.

Mu Qingyan raised his eyebrows and whispered faintly, "Only I don't want it, and he can ask for it if he doesn't want it." ”

"Auntie better go and take a look, and save him from coming back if she says she is dead!" Yu Ranqing took Mu Qingyan's hand and said lightly, "Even if Nangong Yin's body was broken, I was afraid that I couldn't make Yan'er change her mind, and today I can't do it." ”

Before going to bed last night, Mu Qinghan frowned, and only after careful questioning did he know that it was the matter. Now that Qin Yan has returned to Beijing, there must always be a result.

"Well, I still have to go out!" Chu Han changed his previous dignified and calm, like an old hen guarding eggs, and walked outside the courtyard in a hurry.

"Sister Qingzhi, persuade your aunt to be more and don't get angry." Yu Ranqing called the big girl who was following her.

Qing Zhi nodded and hurriedly followed behind Chu Han.

Linglong also ran out after her.

"Linglong, you get back for me, don't go!" Mu Qingyan scared her sharply.

Linglong really stopped, standing at the door and not daring to go out.

"Yan'er, if it weren't for Deng Min's affair back then, would you really marry Nangong Yin?" Yuran Qing looked at her intently.

Mu Qingyan leaned on the coral and squinted towards the porch.

After a while, he said lightly, "I really wanted to marry him!" Even though the Nangong family is not good in a thousand ways, Nangong Yin is gentle and focused, and he is a rare talented swordsmith; I also tried my best to isolate the trivial incidents of Yijian Villa from him, I just wanted him to be single-minded, not to be disturbed by the world, and not to be in vain by God. ”

Amber handed over the tea, and Mu Qingyan took two sips, "The soul chasing feather he created when he was young is an excellent example, I thought I could achieve him." However, everyone in Nangong Mansion didn't understand, and they were complacent with a little achievement, thinking that it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but he didn't know that the matter of the boudoir was the most exhausting. ”

Yu Ranqing thought that Nangong Yin had indeed grown as Yan'er said over the years, and she had not made any progress, and there was a look of regret on her face.

After a long while, Mu Qingyan sighed, looking arrogant: "The man of the Mu family is only loyal to his wife, and the woman of the Mu family never disdains to compete with anyone for favor. ”

"I have seen Nangong Yin's cousin, although she is beautiful, she is too enchanting, different from the dignified and stable of everyone's ladies. I don't know what kind of vision Mrs. Nangong has, the elders in such a big female family will not allow the house to be accepted, and the back house is restless. Yu Ranqing looked at Yan'er with mixed feelings.

"I only know that since I am destined to be a mediocre talent, I don't have to waste my life." Mu smiled lightly.

Yu Ranqing nodded, "It's a pity." ”

In the evening, Mu Qinghan returned home and went directly into Lanyan Pavilion.

"Yan'er, let's talk?"

Mu Qingyan had just finished painting for an afternoon, she took off the seal from her waist and covered it, and threw the pen into the pen wash in turn. teased him, "Brother Han, you don't go back to the house to see your heart, what are you going to talk about here?" ”

"Not serious." Mu Qinghan walked around the couch and sat down on the chair in front of the bookcase, "Let's talk about you and Qin Yan!" ”

Mu Qingyan's action of washing the pen froze, and he glanced at him.

"Tell us about your plans for the future." Mu Qinghan sat on the chair in a posture that you don't talk about me and won't leave.

Mu Qingyan washed all the brushes attentively, hung them on the pen holder according to the length, and then went to clean his hands.

"He is he, with a group of wives and concubines, and he is famous; I am me, and he has nothing to do with me. He sat down next to Mu Qinghan, poured tea and handed it to him, "I saved him when I was forced to do so, and I really made a mistake." I don't know if the poison in him is a wither, or what a withering spirit is. Later, Hua Lu smelled the withering aroma, and I was only glad that there was a ruthless Gu with me, otherwise he and I would both die violently. ”

Rubbing his wrist that had been holding the paintbrush for an afternoon, he didn't give Mu Qinghan a chance to speak, "Brother Han, don't worry about it, five years is not long or short, he won't return to Nanzhao, can he care about my life or death?" Why should I entangle with him, wouldn't it be better to go their separate ways like this now, do you really plan to let me compete with the Seventh Princess for favor? Her big eyes flickered and looked at Mu Qinghan, "I don't want to, and I don't allow him to know about the existence of Shen Jun and Zuo Ning, it's better for me to go back to the Purple Bamboo Forest after Brother Jue's wedding." ”

Mu Qingyan got up and began to clean up the paperwork on the bookcase, without any emotion, calmly and indifferently.

Mu Qinghan sighed again, "Yan'er, Shen Jun and Zuo Ning also need a father." Regardless of your original intention to save him back then, just talk about his intentions for you, is this something you can ignore if you escape? Qin Yan is stubborn to you, even Chu Jue can see it! ”

Mu Qingyan was silent.

"Yan'er, he has been in Nanzhao for five years, don't you really know why? Wei Wanwan followed him back to Beijing, if he had the heart of Wei Wanwan, he would have married a long time ago, so why should he live in your Qingjing Winery for five years? Mu Qinghan grabbed Mu Qingyan's arm, "Don't run away, since Shen Gongzi has already gotten married, why don't you try to accept Qin Yan." ”

"Brother, what about the Seventh Princess? Wei Wanwan has been stumbling for him so far, who will be responsible for her wasted youth? Mu Qingyan shook off his hand, "Since he has no intention of others, why don't you see him deciding?" ”

Mu Qinghan twisted his eyebrows, "You only ask about your own heart, whether you are affectionate or ruthless, and leave the rest to me!" ”

"Huh!" Mu Qingyan smiled mockingly, and then lowered his face, "Brother Han, you also bring a message to Brother Jue, I don't need any of you to interfere in my affairs, no one has many mouths, you know my temper!" ”

"Why are you so stubborn?" Mu Qinghan was helpless, "After so many years, what else can't you let go?" Life is still there, what can be more important than life? ”

Mu Qingyan picked up a book and sat on the chair behind the bookcase, ignoring Mu Qinghan's dark face, just reading her book.

"Alas! This temper is alive and well with grandpa! Mu Qinghan flicked his sleeves and went downstairs.

Listening to Mu Qinghan's footsteps out of the courtyard, she was very irritable. Throwing down the book in his hand and being stunned on the chair, he always thought of that person unconsciously.

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became.

She went to him that year, and he coldly warned her not to come again. She was so obedient that she never met him again, and even if she had to face it many times, she tried to ignore it as much as possible, and refused to entangle with him again.

He pressed his hand against the old mark left by the Ice Spirit Sword, lifted half of the corners of his lips, and smiled wickedly and arrogantly.

On the night she returned from the palace banquet, she knew that he was looking under the window of the jade. She was always the first to sense his presence, and even if he was hiding somewhere, she had a way of knowing it by feeling alone.

It was getting late, and Liuli set the meal and invited her down to eat.

Frustrated, she took out the Xiaoyun Sword from the dark compartment of the bookshelf and floated out of the window. didn't fall, and from afar, he used Yulan's fine skills to boost his breath, and in the blink of an eye, he went on the Jiuqu Bridge.

On the nameless pavilion, a cloud of sword light flashed, and it was no longer possible to distinguish where the person was and where the sword was.

There was a lot of traffic outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, and on this day, the inside and outside of the Prime Minister's Mansion was more lively than ever. Qin Yan stayed awake all night, drank a lot of wine, and ate and drank on horseback all day long, even if his martial arts were good, he couldn't stand it.

All the people from all walks of life in the DPRK and China have arrived, and there are also soldiers who have returned from Nanzhao. From morning to night, he was upset, and Tianqi and Xi Yanxing also came with Ye Heng, and he had to answer in front of the hall with his temper.

The seventh princess held the princess's shelf in the hall with angry eyebrows, Wei Wanwan obediently flattered Qiu Xiaoyue, and she was inseparable from each other. Mrs. Xiangguo smiled comfortingly, and Ren Qin Xiangguo persuaded her a few times and did not restrain herself, just treating her as if she was really her own daughter-in-law.

It wasn't until late at night that everyone dispersed, and Qin Yan drank a lot of wine, without alarming anyone, and quietly went out of the house through the back door.

Walking alone through the streets and alleys to the Liwang Mansion on the east side of the forbidden city, he just walked to the door and greeted a group of people, "Lord Wang, you are back, please come in!" ”

"The prince has returned to the house, the prince has returned to the house!"

All the way inside, Qin Yan entered the door with a cold face, and said to the steward who greeted him, "Find a room for me to sleep in." ”

The steward was busy leading the way, and stopped outside a courtyard similar to a study: "Lord, your bedroom has arrived!" ”

"Well, let people guard the gate, no one is allowed to enter the house without my orders, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" Qin Yan stepped into the house and kicked the door back.

Ignoring the furnishings in the house, he took off his boots and fell into bed, picked up another pillow and hugged it, and fell asleep in a moment.

He didn't know that soon after he left, the Seventh Princess led people to smash Shuyuzhai.

It turned out that when he was drinking in the front hall, the seventh princess forcibly moved into Shuyuzhai with her people

"Princess, where is your makeup case?" The maid followed behind with a makeup box.

Chu Xuan's personal maid immediately scolded, "Of course it's in the bedroom, do you also have to ask?" ”

A group of people kept going in and out of Shuyuyuan, carrying the things that the Seventh Princess was used to on weekdays into Qin Yan's bedroom.

"Let the people prepare the water for bathing, and wait outside the courtyard." The seventh princess walked up the steps and entered Qin Yan's bedroom after the big girl lifted the curtain.

Wei Wanwan's face was blue with anger across the courtyard wall, and she secretly scolded the seventh princess for being shameless, but she was helpless. Even if the seventh princess is not Qin Yan's favor, she is the seventh princess after all, the cousin of today's son, and the wife of Qin Yanming.

He glared at the Seventh Princess with hatred until she entered the bedroom door.

Qin Xiangguo and his wife watched the Seventh Princess tossing, not daring to stop or persuade, worried about Qin Yan's temper in their hearts.
