"The maids said that my brother went to see the adults of the Ministry of Rites, why are you here?" Li Qingchi changed his clothes and jumped into the garden with his hair hanging down his shoulders.

Seeing that Li Qingping almost pounced on a bush of flowers and plants in front of him, he tiptoed to Li Qingping at once.

"Kill me, Qingchi!"

Li Qingchi elf stuck out his tongue, tilted his head to look at the direction that Li Qingfang had just looked, and saw Ruan Miaoling and Cao Qin sitting in the water pavilion, Miss Jiang of Anyuan Houfu bypassed the stone bridge, the two got up to see each other, and the three of them saw each other and sat down.

"My brother never cares about us girls, he hides behind the rockery and eavesdrops on us...... Are you looking at Cousin Miaoling, or looking at the ** sister of the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion! ”

Li Qingping clasped his fingers, knocked on it with a "bang", glanced at Shui Xie and muttered, "Can't you look at another girl?" ”

"Hehe, I'm not sensible, doesn't my brother understand." Li Qingchi climbed Li Qingping's arm, "I took a nap in my mother's room yesterday, and I was dizzy to hear my mother and father mentioning my brother's choice of a princess...... The wife of the elder brother must be from the princely officials, and the Miss Cao is the daughter of a merchant, so she can't pass the first hurdle of the Ministry of Rites in the first place. ”

Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Rites.

Li Qingping chewed it twice, and in retrospect, the so-called good thing that Lord Rites came over today is probably to send the screened roster and portraits.

"If my brother's marriage is just the master of the family, who my brother marries as my sister-in-law, my father and mother have no different words, but since the emperor is in front of him, I can't help my brother to be willful."

Li Qingping listened to what she said, frowned and asked, "This is also what you heard your father and mother say?" What else do you say no? ”

"My mother said that the princess selected by the emperor is the best if my brother likes it, and if I don't like it, I only offer the princess, and my brother will marry the person he likes."

Li Qingchi said, and sighed at a young age.

The elder brother does not chase fame or profit, and he fights with the merry children in Beijing every day, but he still does not dispel the emperor's suspicions. In the future, when she arrives, the emperor will be hot again, and give her a hopeless marriage, and the Chengping Mansion will really decline.

"Little girl, my brother didn't sigh."

Li Qingping suddenly felt that there were two mountains pressing on his body, "Why don't I shave my hair and knock on the wooden fish to chant the scriptures!" Anyway, there's no girl in this world that I can fancy to—"

Yu Er said again: "Even if it is in my eyes, you can't treat others wholeheartedly, three wives and four concubines...... I hate this kind of person the most in my life! ”

"Brother!" Li Qingchi wanted to chase Li Qingping, who was leaving angrily, but when she heard Cousin Miaoling calling her, she stomped her feet and stopped chasing.

Li Qingchi had just sat down, and before he could speak, Rabbit Yue walked into the water pavilion with a smile on her face, "Miss, the ninth son of the Qin family came to see Xiao Maruko!" ”

Wen'er sat on the stone fence and teased Xiao Maruko, and when he heard this, the thread ball in his hand gurgled and rolled to the ground, and Xiao Maruko jumped down and rolled around on the ground.

"Why didn't the eighth prince come over?"

Ruan Miaoling was also unexpected.

In the past, it was Qin Zhao who came to see Xiao Wanzi, but today he changed people, worried about whether Qin Zhao had an accident, and hurriedly apologized to Cao Qin and Jiang Caifu.

Cao Qin looked worried at her and patted her hand, "It's okay to go and take a look, there is Sister Qingchi with you here, Miss Jiang and I won't be bored." ”

"If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, there must be a reason for something to go wrong, and it doesn't hurt for the third lady to go."

Jiang Caifu took the initiative to talk to Ruan Miaoling for the first time.

Wen'er didn't know exactly how the two of them discussed that night, but she didn't care about seeing Jiang Caifu and Miss reconcile and what the process was.

Ruan Miaoling smiled gratefully, "Qingchi, you accompany Sister Cao and Miss Jiang to sit in my room, and I'll go back when I go." ”

Xiao Maruko suddenly burst out of the water pavilion and ran to the rockery and shouted at the moon gate.

Tuyue bit her lip and said: "Qin Jiugongzi is in a hurry, and the adults of the Ministry of Rites are talking to the prince in the inverted room, and the slaves and maids dare not disturb, so they have to take Qin Jiugongzi outside the garden." ”

……

"Xiao Maruko, has you been obediently listening to the third lady's orders recently?" Qin Can opened the food box and picked up a piece of meat that was neither fat nor lean and put it in the palm of his hand.

Maruko stretched out her snow-white paws to plan, but when she got to the ground, she grabbed it with both paws, and stretched out her pink tongue to lick it and taste the taste.

"Meow!"

Qin Can grabbed the lush and dense white hair of the little ball, and after a few days, he didn't see it fat again, "Tut-tut, beware of eating it like a little pig, and the tenth brother will come back and slaughter you!" ”

Xiao Maruko shivered and hid behind Ruan Miaoling with a "sigh".

"Brother Lao Jiu came not far to deliver cat food to Xiao Maruko, but Brother Zhao was unwell, and he usually came over to ......"

The eighth brother is really blessed, if he doesn't come for a day, Sister Miaoling is worried.

Qin Can said with a smile: "This is not about to enter autumn, the Criminal Department has a backlog of many prisoners who will be beheaded after the autumn, and the Criminal Department does not have enough manpower to investigate the case, so I transferred the ninth brother over, and I can't get out of the way recently." ”

"The prisoner who was determined to be beheaded by the Autumn Queen has no life?"

"Good question, girl!" Qin Can clapped his hands and applauded, "In fact, among those who are going to be beheaded after the autumn, not everyone is heinous, and not every one of them is innocent. At this time of year, the Criminal Department turns over old accounts in order to leave a glimmer of life for those who have been wronged. ”

Chance? Shen Qingqiu was involved in the case back then, and according to the rules, he should have been left until the autumn queen to ask for beheading, who would give him a glimmer of life?

Ruan Miaoling sighed in her heart, "Then if there is no truth in the Criminal Department, they will have no chance of life?" ”

"No, if they encounter major events such as the new emperor's ascension to the pole, the establishment of the queen, the establishment of the prince, the change of the yuan, and the sealing of Zen, the emperor will give amnesty to the world, and they will be able to avoid death."

Wen'er snapped his fingers and calculated, it was impossible for the new emperor to ascend to the pole and establish the throne, and now it has only been fifteen years since Chengkang, unless the emperor's brain is hot, there is no hope of changing the yuan.

Only the crown prince remains.

Ruan Miaoling also thought of this, because Qin Can didn't ask in detail, and said a few words to Qin Can, and Qin Can said goodbye and left.

Li Qingchi and the three of them left the water pavilion at some point, hiding behind the rockery, and after Qin Can left, the three of them came out together.

"Cousin, the sons of the Qin family are all so handsome, no matter who my cousin stands with, they are a good match!"

Ruan Miaoling glanced at Li Qingchi, "If you look at someone else, I will go for you, don't mess with mandarin ducks." ”

Li Qingchi snorted, knowing that Ruan Miaoling was just making fun of her.

She entered the palace several times to play with Princess Caicai, and Princess Caicai always led the topic to Qin Can, and everyone could hear that Qin Can was the future quasi-concubine.

"I don't want to rob people with Princess Caicai, the princess is fierce!"

The rosary on Jiang Caifu's wrist fell to the ground.

Cao Qin picked it up for her, "Miss Jiang usually stays in the shade for a long time, so she must not be used to staying under the sun." ”
