Ruan Miaoling found out that she really underestimated her cousin Qingchi, and thought that she was just because she had been raised by her uncle and aunt since she was a child, and she had a wild temperament.

When she saw Li Qingchi easily flipping over the window, and did not forget to instruct her to move a chair to her tiptoe, she clearly realized that when she was ten years old, Li Qingchi had quietly remembered all the tricks she had played, and put them into practice many times in the long four or five years.

"Well, I'm good, right?" Li Qingchi's lips opened and closed without making a sound.

Ruan Miaoling was embarrassed, and replied ashamedly in the same way: "Cousin, it's my cousin who can't stand you." ”

It was really her fault to take a lady to the crooked road, and it was unintentional to ask the Buddha to forgive her.

Li Qingchi was puzzled, but the sound of talking interrupted her train of thought, and she couldn't help but clench Ruan Miaoling's palm, and the two of them moved towards the door step by step.

The tears in King Chengping's eyes had dried up at this time, and he asked with a straight face: "The emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites and several important ministers to look for a husband and wife for Miaoling, and the Ministry of Rites recommended Gu Huanyu, the sister-in-law of Zhenhaibo Mansion, but Mrs. Zhenhaibo was worried that if her son was outside, she would add three or four rooms to Gu Huanyu's room. ”

Li Qingchi pinched Ruan Miaoling, and his eyes signaled: Look, what am I talking about!

Ruan Miaoling smiled gratefully at her, took off a silver bracelet of a carved bird from her wrist and stuffed it into Li Qingchi's hand, and said silently: "Thank you." ”

Li Qingchi has a cool temperament, and he does not prevaricate, he happily puts it on his hand and continues to listen with his ears pricked up.

Princess Baozhen sighed softly.

Ruan Miaoling was slightly stunned, her mother never sighed in front of her and complained bitterly.

"Don't say it's Zhenhai Bofu, even if the emperor specified that Miaoling would marry the prince of the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, I won't agree. First, Uncle Huang is an elder, and his vision and thoughts are different from those of us as parents, he only values the character of the son-in-law who is in the power of the Bofu and the power of the uncle; Second, the emperor's uncle has been accustomed to political affairs for a long time, and when he marries his children, he inevitably has to mix some ideas about the political situation. ”

King Chengping said: "My brother also thinks the same way, although the Zhenhai Bofu has high merits, but my brother looks down on their arrogant style, Miaoling is not strong, I am afraid that I will be bullied." ”

At this time, King Chengping and Princess Baozhen were thinking in their hearts: as long as it was arranged by the emperor, even if there were eye-catching ones, they would have thousands of reasons to look down on them.

"Lord Li Chongshan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, introduced one to the emperor, and I heard that in Fuzhou for salt, grain and transportation and other affairs, my grandfather was a former elder, and his reputation was quite loud." King Chengping first put the good and obedient words in front, and the mallet arrived later.

"As soon as I got the news, I asked someone to check, this Guan Daren is quite praised for his local position, but he is competitive in private, and he likes to pluck bees and pluck thorns in front of Shangfeng, and none of the people who work with him are good, and gradually they are alienated from him. Not only that, but after ten days and half a month of promising to do things in front of his relatives, there was no news of him, and his relatives waited for a hurry to ask, only to know that he had forgotten to go to Java. This kind of person is not only disliked by our elders, but also the two girls Qingchi and Miaoling are tired of hearing it. ”

The two girls who were eavesdropping in the second room nodded at the same time.

What King Chengping said, Princess Baozhen also sent Qiu Daqian to inquire, because she didn't have hope for these two.

"Actually, Jiang Yubai, the son of the Marquis of Anyuan, is a good child, but it's a pity that Miaoling was not sensible at that time, and offended Miss Jiang's family.

Princess Baozhen still remembers Jiang Yubai's appearance of courtesy in front of her, and her appearance is good, but fate makes people.

King Chengping said with a smile: "My sister is still thinking about the son of the Jiang family, I mentioned it once before, but unfortunately it was too late, Queen Li and Mrs. An Yuanhou have decided to hire the granddaughter of the Jiangnan Wang family as a daughter-in-law." ”

"It's just a mouthful, the mustard between our two families has not disappeared yet, how could I send Miaoling to someone to be scolded. It is said that Miaoling is also a good child who makes people feel at ease, since that incident, she has a much quieter temperament, that is, when I was not at home after Yanliang left, she was safe and did not cry, and she was so sensible that it made people feel distressed. ”

King Chengping compared his daughter Qingchi with his niece, and it was true that the children of his sister's family were better, "Li Chongshan detained his sister, I heard what the son of the Xu family said, Miaoling worked hard to rescue her sister and send her to Ganzhou to recuperate, she is really sensible." I want to rest on Qingchi's body, I'm afraid that I will cry early and call my father and mother, alas, it's a headache! ”

Li Qingchi pursed her lips, peeked at Ruan Miaoling, and thought to herself, isn't her cousin older than her, if she grows up, which of those things can't she do? Maybe it's better than my cousin!

"Speaking of Xu Gongzi...... "King Chengping leaned in and said: "My brother thinks he is a good candidate, when he was in Pingyang, Mrs. Ruan once put him and Miaoling together, although it didn't work out later, but Xu Gongzi is a kind and righteous, secretly helped Miaoling to pass the message......"

King Chengping saw that Princess Baozhen didn't know what to do, so he told Xu Yuan what he was doing in the capital, and the more Princess Baozhen listened, the more wrong it became, and stopped: "You can't say this in front of Miaoling!" ”

Ruan Miaoling hid in the second room, looking at Princess Baozhen with the same curiosity as her uncle.

"My sister didn't intend to hide this from you, but the timing was right today, so I simply said it. After your brother-in-law was killed outside Ruyang City, Gu Ren went to the place where the incident occurred and found something suspicious. ”

King Chengping was surprised: "Is that the one who was beheaded by the Qin family kid a while ago because of collaborating with the enemy?" That's really impossible, in the end, the Xu family and the Ruan family have grievances, if Miaoling knows, I don't know what will happen. ”

Li Qingchi looked at Ruan Miaoling, whose expression remained unchanged, and her cousin knew it now, and it didn't matter.

Ruan Miaoling gave her a light smile back.

"You two girls!"

Princess Chengping stood outside the window, and when she saw the wooden ladder that appeared here out of thin air, she knew that Li Qingchi had pulled Ruan Miaoling into the house.

Li Qingchi covered his mouth in fright, looked at the window with Princess Chengping's stern eyes aggrievedly, and shouted "Mother", and didn't dare to say anything else.

Ruan Miaoling knew that the consequences of the incident in the east window were very serious, and it was the best choice to remain silent, so she also shouted "aunt" weakly, hanging her head and pinching the corner of her clothes.

After a while, Princess Baozhen and King Chengping heard the movement and came over together, followed by Princess Chengping, the three elders had a serious face, Ruan Miaoling thought: The three sessions are just like that.

King Chengping asked Li Qingchi first with a straight face: "What did you hear?" Or did you see him crying?

Li Qingchi bit his lower lip and muttered, "We only came in when my father and aunt talked about my cousin's marriage." ”
