Reliable people......

There are two interpretations of this.

First, Xiao Di was worried that he was not a person, and once the news was revealed in the future, Xiao chased there, and he could easily use this matter to separate the Chu Wangfu and the Qin family.

As for the second, then what he is guarding against is ......

With a slight movement of his fingertips, Pei Yao looked at him with a deep gaze.

"If the Qin clan intends to marry this family, and Xiao-" She stopped in time, changed her name, and then asked: "If the emperor also intends to promote, does that mean that the Qin clan's position has been biased towards the emperor?" ”

Otherwise, how could Xiao Zhu take the initiative to give Xiao Di this opportunity to get close to the Qin family?

"Not necessarily." Xiao Di shook his head and said, "The queen mother said that this girl from the Qin family has been quite close to Chenghui Palace recently. ”

"In other words......" she said, "maybe it's not that the Qin family is biased towards the emperor, but that this Qin girl is used by others herself?" ”

Xiao Di nodded.

"There are two daughters of the Xiang family, one entered the palace, and the other married me. Now the Qin family has also produced two daughters, one is Xiao Zhu's concubine, and the other is my younger sister-in-law-" He sneered lightly and said: "With the same number of roads, the Qin family agrees to marry, but it is understandable, most of them are brothers who share difficulties and must have one of their thoughts." ”

The big family, in order to prosper for a long time, it is also common to bet on treasures everywhere. But Pei Yaowei has another worry at the moment.

She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It would be better if that was the case." ”

Xiao Di looked at her.

She asked, "Is it really impossible not to marry Li Lian?" ”

He didn't answer, only asked, "How?" ”

With the Gaocheng Qin family, it can be regarded as a family that Pei Yaowei knows quite well. The Qin family is hereditary Jing Guogong and has followed the Pei family for generations. In all the party battles in the imperial court, it has always been how the Pei family stands in line, and how the Qin family stands in line.

However, in the last years of the first emperor, with the decline of the Pei family, the Qin family's then head of the family, Qin Guozhuang, also died young and died on the battlefield, leaving no heirs behind. After the death of Qin, the upper Qin family was his compatriot and brother, Qin Libei, who now worships the general of the Zhenjun and is crowned the Duke of Qi.

Qin Libei is a loner, and now the Qin clan, under his helm, like himself, does not merge with other forces - at least, on the surface.

"The Qin family's position is unclear, judging from the Pan family's plan to seek long-term rule through Yongchuan, among them, the biggest threat is Qin Libei, the general of the town army, if I am Pan Xian, I should try my best to envelop Qin Libei under my command."

Pei Yao said: "Between success and failure, it's an either/or thing, if the Qin family is really in cahoots with the Pan family, then Li Lian's marriage, in the future, will undoubtedly be a suspicion imposed on you." In addition, Yongchuan's military power is made by you, if the Pan family falls, the emperor will deal with you next, it will be too justifiable. ”

Her worries were very reasonable, but after Xiao Di was silent for a moment, she just asked, "You have thought of this beginning and end, but why don't you want to think about the middle part?" ”

"In between?"

He said: "One day, the Pan family will be in trouble, what do you think I will do?" Be an onlooker? ”

Either watch from the wall and watch the sandpiper and clam fight, or go out in person...... Both options have a positive side. Pei Yaowei thought about it for a while, thinking about the situation he was worried about, but it would only happen when he stayed out of the situation, and if His Royal Highness the King of Chu personally ended up and calmed down this disaster, then naturally there would be no more hidden dangers under the melon fields and plums, on the contrary, once the Pan clan was defeated, the land occupied by the Pan clan could be detained in his own hands......

Thinking of this, she shook her head and laughed at herself, secretly scolding herself for not thinking enough, "...... It's me who worries about it. ”

"From disaster to calm, there is a chance for me to solve this game, and I have nothing to worry about." Xiao Di lowered his eyes and looked at the patterns on the cup, frowning slightly, "As soon as the marriage came out, I was angry that Xiao Zhu repeatedly came to make up his mind beside me." But I didn't want Mo Yan to marry the daughter of the Qin family, but it wasn't for the sake of the situation. ”

"Not for the situation," she joked casually, "is it for affection?" ”

Xiao Di was silent.

Pei Yao was taken aback, did she really guess this?

“…… Really? She became curious and asked, "Li Lone...... Have a sweetheart? ”

Xiao Di didn't answer her.

Five days later, the decree of the Queen Mother to marry the daughter of the Marquis of Mangyuan and the Qin family came down. At this time, Li Lin was still running errands outside Beijing and had never returned.

Yu Xuda came back from outside and replied: "Niangniang, there is a word in front of me, saying that the new prostitute sent by Si Le Fang this year has arrived, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”

Si Le Fang is the royal family's music house, every year will be on time to the princes and nobles to send the prostitute and dancer, this time there are a lot of things, Pei Yaowei is not in the mood to care about this, so he only ordered Yu Xu to take people to settle down, check the old bottom one by one, and nothing is it.

Yu Xu received the order, and replied: "By the way, Niangniang, there is a letter from the mirror in the morning." ”

As soon as she came back from Lingcheng, she sent Xiao Zhu's eyeliner and mirror shadow placed by her side to Huan's hometown on the grounds of worrying about her mother, and visited her sick grandmother and mother on her behalf. The mirror shadow has been gone for a few days, and this is still the first time that the message has returned.

"How?" Taking a sip of tea, she asked.

Yu Xu said: "In the mirror letter, she said that she has now arrived at Huan's mansion, and she has also seen Mrs. Huan and asked for peace. ”

Pei Yao's eyebrows moved slightly, and she deliberately asked more: "Have you seen it?" ”

Yu Xu nodded, "I've seen it, Jingying said, Mrs. Huan is still healthy now, please don't worry." ”

Pei Yaowei pondered for a moment and sighed slightly, "Mother and daughter are connected, naturally they can't help but worry." ”

"So, what do you mean?"

She looked sideways at Yu Xu, "I can't rest assured that my mother can't be relieved, but I still have to have a proper person who can reassure me, and it is serious to serve my mother on my behalf at all times." ”

Yu Xu understood, smiled and said: "Yes, the slave understands, so I will send a message to the mirror and let her wait by Mrs. Huan's side, and when the old lady of the Huan family is safe, Mrs. Huan will leave for Beijing, and she will come back with her." ”

Pei Yaowei nodded with satisfaction.

Yu Xu was ordered to go out to do things, and made a mistake with Qingchen at the door. Qingchen greeted her, rummaging through herself all the way into the door.

Pei Yaowei glanced at her and asked casually, "What are you looking for?" ”

Qingchen flattened his mouth, and his face was full of unhappiness, saying that he couldn't find the sachet on his body.

"I don't know when it fell or where...... The slave has been with me for a long time, and I guess it's tasteless, and I'm just changing the sachet for you today, and when I remembered it, I found that it was gone. Qingchen said, holding her the freshly made sachet in his hand, "...... That's right, this! The slave maid is new to you, there are many mosquitoes in the summer, you take it with you every day, so you can prevent it! ”

Pei Yaowei smiled meaningfully, took the sachet and replaced the old one on his body.

"Oh, that's right." She seemed to suddenly remember something, and said curiously to Qingchen: "You often walk around the house, have you ever heard about your cousin?" ”

"Cousin?" Qingchen asked, "Are you talking about the marriage between the son of the Li family and the daughter of the Qin family?" ”

She nodded, and said abruptly for a moment: "Speaking of which, this is also mine." His Royal Highness has always valued silent words, he is not young now, according to his marriage, it should be my sister-in-law's heart, but who expected that the Holy Mother thought ahead! As she spoke, she sighed, "Alas! I don't know how the little aunt of the general of the town army was born, this character, appearance, interests, temperament, if it doesn't agree with the meaning of the silent words, and then wronged each other, it will not be good! ”

Qingchen listened, thought for a while, and then said: "But the slave maid heard that the cousin has been cold and silent since he was a child, and everyone in the house said that except for His Highness and the errands delivered by His Highness, the cousin doesn't seem to be interested in anything......"

Well?

Pei Yao's heart moved, could it be that he was very interested in His Royal Highness the King of Chu?

Qingchen said again: "My cousin's father, the twin brother of the Queen Mother, Guo Gong, went early, I heard that when Guo Gong died, my cousin was only in his early tens, and there was only one sister above, who was hired by Yasukuni. His Royal Highness took his cousin with him and raised him all the way. Xu is because of the loss of youth and the ups and downs in his early years, and his cousin's temperament has always been not very gregarious, and everything is stuffy by himself. As for the marriage of the daughter of the Qin family this time......"

She thought for a while and sighed twice: "Anyway, the slave maid is not very optimistic about this family business......"

Pei Yao was in remembrance, but she was amused by her last adult-like exclamation, "You are not optimistic?" How many things have you seen in your little girl's family? Do you know what a good couple is and what a grudge is? ”

When Qingchen heard this, he hurriedly wanted to speak, but Pei Yaowei took the first step to silence him-

"Eh, if you dare to compare me, I'll cut you off a month's snack!"

Qingchen's eyebrows drooped, and he was speechless.

Pei Yaowei originally wanted to inquire about who Li Lian's sweetheart was, but at this moment, it seemed that Qingchen didn't have any goods for her here, which was a bit of a headache.

After a while, she sighed, shook her head, didn't think about it anymore, and told Qingchen to let the porter send someone to the Jiyang County Mansion to spread a message that she would go back to visit her father and brother in three days.

Qingchen was ordered to go, and that night, Pei Yaowei told Xiao Di about it.

"Didn't you already send someone to the county mansion to spread the word?" Xiao Di flipped the page of the book and glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, "You still come to ask me at this time, do you want to cut first and then play?" ”

She smiled and said, "I was thinking, how could His Highness, a benevolent and righteous person, not allow such a thing as returning to his mother's house?" ”

"Yes, of course." He smiled faintly and followed, but said something that surprised her: "Not only will I promise you to go back, but this king will accompany you back, is the princess willing?" ”

"Huh?" After being taken aback, she hurriedly sorted out her expression, "You also want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

"Don't want to?"

"Nope." She said, "Don't dare." ”
