Fang Mingkun's plan failed, and the banquet ended hastily in the end, which was a big blow to Fang Mingkun, he chose to calculate Zhou Rui'an on this day today, because there were many guests, and Zhou Rui'an could not argue directly, but he didn't expect that in the end he became a joke.

The second prince also had a lot of complaints about Fang Mingkun because of this matter.

"Cousin, how can you behave like that? This, how is this different from those unscrupulous marketmen? No matter how much the Dingguo Mansion is, it won't let her daughter make a beauty, right?! The second prince asked angrily.

Fang Mingkun secretly said in his heart, this is the queen's idea, why don't you ask her?

Fang Mingkun's face was ugly, and the second prince said again: "I know, when my uncle was in the past, there would always be some suspicions in the inner courtyard, I just asked, but it was enough to stop, don't let outsiders see the joke!" After a pause, he continued: "Zhou Rui'an's side, it is impossible to reconcile with us, you had better recognize this as soon as possible!" On the queen mother's side, I will also talk to her. ”

After the second prince finished speaking, he left the Dingguo Mansion and went to see the queen's mother.

"Queen Mother, you have always been wise and reasonable, but it is impossible for Zhou Rui'an to reconcile with us, and Zhou Rui'an is not easy to mess with, it is impossible for a beauty to bring him down!" The second prince frowned and said, "This time it's good, and it also let the Manchu Dynasty civil and military see the joke of the Dingguo Mansion!" ”

The queen mother sighed, "The queen mother knows, and the queen mother will not interfere in the future." ”

The second prince nodded, and then he left the palace with confidence.

As soon as the second prince left, Mama Gui, who was next to the queen's mother, couldn't help but say: "Your Highness is really, she actually complained about Niangniang, and Niangniang is not for Your Highness." ”

The queen mother gently hooked the corners of her lips: "Chen'er has grown, she is no longer the good doll she used to be, he has his own ideas, isn't it a good thing?" ”

Mama Gui thought about it and thought it was too, "Then Zhou Rui'an, what are the plans of the mother?" ”

The queen mother curled the corners of her lips: "Zhou Rui'an? I didn't expect him to be so slippery and not keep his hands, and it won't work to win over him, it's really difficult! After a pause, a cold light flashed in her eyes: "Since you don't eat and drink in the toast, it's no wonder that this palace is no wonder!" ”

"But, Second Highness's side ......"

The queen mother said indifferently: "He's still young, what do you know, but he has grown a little, so he thinks he can take the lead?" It's not even close! After a pause, she continued: "Tomorrow I will ask Mingkun to enter the palace, and the palace has something to tell him to do." ”

As soon as Jiang Qingyue and Zhou Ruian arrived home, they saw Chen Xiuer and Lin Zheyuan waiting for them in the living room.

Zhou Ruian raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Zheyuan: "What's the matter, you went to the wrong door?" ”

Although Lin Zheyuan suffered a lot in prison, he was in good spirits at happy events, and he looked much more energetic than before.

Lin Zheyuan glanced at Chen Xiu'er, his eyes were full of sweetness, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Today is the day to go back, but Xiu'er has no mother's home, and we don't want to go back to Weiyuan Dart Bureau, so I want to come and sit with you." After a pause, he hurriedly said: "You are our witness, and it is not too much to act as half of the mother's family, right?" ”

Zhou Rui'an: "......"

"Not too much, not too much, it's too late for us to be happy." Jiang Qingyue said, he was worried that the prince would not give face to others, and he would say something bad about the scenery.

Zhou Ruian glanced at Jiang Qingyue deeply, and somehow, he was in a better mood, and bowed slightly: "I'm very happy that you can come, Luobei, go and order the kitchen to cook a few more dishes." ”

Luo Bei responded crisply, and said with a smile: "It's rare for our house to be so lively, and my subordinates must let the kitchen come out with housekeeping skills!" ”

After a while, Shen Yanniang also came over, and her reason was even more sufficient, "There is no one in the family, I don't like to treat me, so I came to see Jiang Lang!" As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Qingyue affectionately.

Jiang Qingyue smiled at him.

Zhou Ruian glanced at Shen Yanniang coldly.

Luo Bei brought the food and brought it over, and when he saw these people sitting around the table, he couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.

The girl that Chen Hewu took over from the queen's palace back then, maybe he would never have thought that one day, his daughter would sit with this princess who should be a noble princess, talking and laughing.

Jiang Qingyue was serving Chen Xiu'er vegetables, "Xiu'er, you are not in good health, you need to eat more." ”

Chen Xiu'er pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Jiang Qingyue's eyes with a gentle glow, Lin Zheyuan saw it, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

No one noticed the expressions of the newlyweds, Shen Yanniang said indignantly: "This Fang Mingkun is really a big face, he tied Jiang Lang last time, and now he still has the face to sue for peace, it's shameless!" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiu'er was also filled with righteous indignation: "Will Fang Mingkun have any conspiracy?" Did anything happen at today's banquet? ”

Lin Zheyuan also looked at Zhou Rui'an.

Zhou Ruian couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, Jiang Qingyue glanced at him, and said slowly: "Nothing happened, it's just that the prince was almost seduced." ”

Zhou Ruian glared at her secretly, and then said, "Thanks to Qing Yue who went with me and used his internal strength to force back the medicinal effect in his body, otherwise I am afraid that I will really make a fool of myself." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Rui'an also had palpitations in his heart, not for anything else, he was the commander of Jinyiwei, he had seen a lot of drugs that were indiscriminate, and he was also proficient in pharmacology, he was already careful enough, but he didn't expect to fall in love with Fang Mingkun's way.

This is a big blow to the prince.

"Beauty? Since ancient times, heroes have been sad about the beauty pass, but it is not wrong. Shen Yanniang looked at Jiang Qingyue curiously: "How does that beauty look?" ”

Jiang Qingyue thought for a while, "Beautiful, of course it's beautiful, it's still the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and she is noble." ”

Lin Zheyuan said with a smile: "No matter how beautiful it is, the prince can't look down on it." ”

"Lin Zheyuan, I found that since you married a wife, you have become very spineless, and you can even make sycophants." Shen Yanniang said with a dissatisfied face.

Lin Zheyuan smiled, he glanced at Jiang Qingyue without a trace: "No, but because if you have that person in your heart, you will never see the person next to you anymore." ”

Shen Yanniang glanced at Zhou Rui'an in surprise: "Is there someone in the heart of the prince?" Who is it? ”

Zhou Ruian smiled slightly, and was about to answer, Jiang Qingyue happened to cough at this time, "That, let's eat first." ”

Lin Zheyuan smiled and relieved Jiang Qingyue, he looked at Zhou Ruian and said: "Fang Mingkun failed to succeed this time, I'm afraid he won't give up easily, the prince should be careful." ”

Zhou Ruian nodded, "I know it in my heart." ”

Jiang Qingyue glanced at Zhou Ruian, but knew that in fact, Zhou Ruian didn't take Fang Mingkun in his eyes at all, he was still conceited, he always thought that everything could be controlled in his hands, and she was always worried that he would suffer in this regard.

After eating, Lin Zheyuan and Chen Xiuer came home, although they were only next door, Zhou Ruian still ordered someone to prepare two large cars of gifts for the two of them, after all, it was her mother's house, which made Jiang Qingyue laugh.

"Jiang Lang, aren't you going back with us?" Shen Yanniang looked at Jiang Qingyue who sent them out and said.

Jiang Qingyue shook his head: "I still have something to discuss with the prince, you go back first, you don't have to leave the door for me, I'll go back over the wall." ”

Shen Yanniang couldn't help but smile and said, "Jiang Lang is really extraordinary!" I wonder when Jiang Lang will open the window? After speaking, he threw a wink at Jiang Qingyue.

Lin Zheyuan hurriedly pulled her away before Zhou Rui'an got angry.

Zhou Ruian glanced at Jiang Qingyue with a smile, "Look at your peach blossom debt, you will know that you will attract bees and butterflies everywhere!" ”

Jiang Qingyue said indifferently: "What peach blossom debt, you think too much, Yan Niang just said it casually, she just has a more open style, a woman in the rivers and lakes, but her essence is actually good, and she doesn't have any thoughts about me, don't think about it!" By the end of the day, the tone had already made sense.

Zhou Ruian sneered, it was best to be like this, he felt that unless Jiang Qingyue disclosed his gender one day, according to Shen Yanniang's infatuation with Jiang Qingyue, it would be impossible to be open-minded at all.

But he didn't plan to say it, Jiang Qingyue was enough to attract bees and butterflies when he was a man, if he recovered his woman's body, maybe he would provoke someone, and a second prince was enough to make him vigilant.

Zhou Ruian was very happy that Jiang Qingyue could take the initiative to leave today, and he didn't want to quarrel with her over these trivial things.

He looked at Jiang Qingyue with a smile: "Why are you so obedient today, you won't let you stay on weekdays." ”

"I have something to tell you, let's go to the study."

The two of them returned to the study, and Zhou Ruian was still a little improper, "You say, should I put an extra small hole or something on the study?" ”

After speaking, those bright eyes stared at her, and in the dark and bright eyes, it seemed that she could only accommodate her alone.

Anyone who is looked at like this can't help but lose their minds.

Jiang Qingyue was slightly in a trance, and when Zhou Ruian wrapped around her waist, she hurriedly came back to her senses, she pushed him away, and said solemnly: "Don't make trouble, I have something serious to tell you." ”

"Say, I'll listen." Zhou Ruian said casually, but his hand played with her fingers.

Jiang Qingyue said solemnly: "About Fang Mingkun, I know you didn't take him seriously, but I think this matter must not be so simple, think about it, Fang Mingkun even let go of the revenge of killing his father, just to win you over, and finally failed, can he really be willing?" I don't believe it! ”

Zhou Ruian said indifferently: "Then what can he do?" It's just a defeat! The queen now has no hole cards in her hand, and the Weiyuan dart game was destroyed by her, and she could still impress the emperor with her upbringing to Princess Ningyang, but now she ...... Hum! The Dingguo Mansion is just a showpiece now, Fang Mingkun can't handle the affairs in his own backyard, do you want to count on him? ”

Zhou Rui paused and continued: "The death of Lao Dingguo Gong is a good move, but it is also a dead move, his death is to ease the emperor's attitude towards the queen, but the emperor did not let go and returned the phoenix seal, now the harem is still in the hands of Qin Guifei, Qin Guifei takes the seven princes to Chenghuan in front of the emperor every day, and now the emperor's body is not as good as before, and he is a little powerless to deal with state affairs." ”

"Otherwise, why do you think the queen and Fang Mingkun are so anxious to win me over, and they can't even care about killing their father? It is because the emperor already has the heart of a prince. Zhou Ruian said, his expression was a lot more positive: "The emperor's body is a secret, but it can't be hidden from our Jinyi Guard." The queen is so anxious, that is, she has no chips in her hand, and with her current strength, she can't fight Concubine Qin at all! ”

Emperor Xuande's health is not good, Jiang Qingyue never knew about it, in fact, there was no news in the entire capital, Emperor Xuande did not show the slightest abnormality, obviously planning to hide something, but Zhou Ruian still knew.

"He, is he not well?" Jiang Qingyue said abruptly.

Zhou Ruian looked at her deeply: "You actually still care about him, right?" ”

Jiang Qingyue thought carefully for a moment, and then shook his head: "I don't know, although he is my father, but if I just say that I care about him because of this, I can't do it." ”

For her, Emperor Xuande is a stranger, even if there is a blood relationship between them, she treats the second prince, it is because the second prince gets along with sincerity, for Emperor Xuande who once beat her, Jiang Qingyue really does not have so much filial piety.

Jiang Qingyue smiled bitterly: "It seems that I am also a very lonely person, he is obviously my father." ”

Zhou Ruian sighed and hugged her in his arms, "Don't worry, the emperor's health is not as good as before, but it is not to the point of being very bad, otherwise it is impossible that there is no wind outside, but it is time for the emperor to become a prince." ”

Jiang Qingyue pursed his lips and didn't ask, because the answer was already obvious.

"So, don't worry, now the biggest enemy of the queen and Fang Mingkun is not me, but Qin Guifei, she dealt with me this time, in fact, to weaken Qin Guifei's strength, the real target is not me. This time, I have already torn my face with Fang Mingkun, he should know that he will not go my way, and he will not spend too much time and energy to deal with me. Zhou Rui'an said in a relaxed tone.

Jiang Qingyue thought about it and felt that there was some truth, so he nodded.

In fact, she is so worried about this, in addition to worrying about Zhou Rui'an's safety, there is another point, that is, she is very worried, Zhou Rui'an's situation is so dangerous now, plus she knows today, Emperor Xuande's body is in condition, she is very worried, Zhou Ruian may suddenly make a move.

"If you know it, I'll be relieved." Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "Then I'll go back." ”

Now that she is relieved, there is no reason to continue to stay, Jiang Qingyue feels that of course she wants to go home, and she also promised Shen Yanniang!

Zhou Ruian hurriedly took her hand and said with an aggrieved face: "But you didn't accompany me." ”

Jiang Qingyue looked at him in amazement, not understanding how a person could talk nonsense with his eyes open to this point.

"I worked as a coachman for you for a day today, and the co-authorship was all for nothing, right?" Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

Zhou Ruian hugged her into his arms and muttered, "That's different, I just want to be with you." ”

Two people, without so many concerns, without intrigues, simple, two people together.

But even if it is just such a request, it is a luxury for them.

Jiang Qingyue leaned on his shoulder, her face was still a little red, no matter how many times, she couldn't get used to it, every time she approached, she would still feel that throbbing and heartbeat.

The two hugged quietly, without words, quietly, just hugged each other, even if they didn't do anything, they felt quiet and beautiful.

"That's good." Zhou Ruian said with a sigh, he lowered his head, leaned into her ear, and lowered his voice: "Luobei didn't come to spoil the scenery today." ”

Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but laugh, raised his head, met his focused and bright eyes, and couldn't help but stare at him.

He lowered his head slowly, and was about to kiss her on the lips, but her eyes quickly blocked it.

"I, I'm going back, it's not too early." Jiang Qingyue said in a bit of a panic, withdrew from his embrace, and hurriedly walked out.

Zhou Rui'an couldn't stop it, watching her run away, he couldn't help frowning, Qingyue was resisting his intimate contact, why?

This thought flashed through his mind, and Luo Bei poked his head out from behind the door, blinked, and said with an innocent face: "Master, I see that Jiang Gongzi has left, then, can my subordinates come in?" ”

It's not easy to be a subordinate one after another, and it's also a matter of face to be a subordinate!

Zhou Ruian glared at him, and his tone was not angry: "Get in!" ”

Luo Bei pursed his mouth, but he was wronged, he obviously came over after watching Jiang Gongzi leave, why did he still scold him? He is really too pitiful and wronged! Why are you bullying him so much?

Luo Bei quickly walked into the study and closed the door.

Zhou Rui'an's face no longer showed the slightest annoyance, and he had regained his previous composure, and at this time his brows frowned, not seeing the ease in front of Jiang Qingyue.

"What's the matter, did Dong Cheng find it?" Zhou Ruian asked in a deep voice.

This Dong Cheng is the personal guard of the King of Jin, when the King of Jin died on the battlefield, he followed the King of Jin, and he also snatched back the body of the King of Jin, and did not let the King of Jin fall into the hands of the Tatars.

Later, after dealing with the aftermath of the King of Jin, he disappeared mysteriously, and Zhou Ruian believed that he was the only one who knew the truth about the death of the King of Jin, so he had been looking for him for so many years.

Not long ago, there was finally news that Zhou Ruian also went to see Dong Cheng in person, but then something happened in the capital, Tuoba just found Liu Fu and unlocked the treasure of Nanshan, Emperor Xuande even issued an arrest warrant to arrest Zhou Ruian, or Jiang Qingyue found a way to call Zhou Ruian back.

At that time, Zhou Ruian had already met Dong Cheng, but Dong Cheng never mentioned the events of that year, Zhou Ruian was not ready to start an incident at that time, and the time was not ripe, so he did not continue to follow Dong Cheng's line, he was so persistent in looking for Dong Cheng, what he wanted was just a reason for the incident.

For so many years, Dong Cheng has been incognito and has never shown up, so Zhou Ruian only sent a few people to protect Dong Cheng in secret, but not long ago, news came that Dong Cheng disappeared mysteriously.

Zhou Ruian was furious at the time, but this matter could not be solved by being angry, he quickly calmed down and sent someone to find Dong Cheng.

But Dong Cheng's identity is too special, he didn't dare to look for it, he only dared to do it secretly, but at this time, Fang Mingkun was still eyeing him and wanted to marry him.

Zhou Ruian was worried that Fang Mingkun had ulterior motives, so he was so anxious to clear up his relationship with Fang Mingkun, and even did not hesitate to tear his face with Fang Mingkun.

Although he said it easily in front of Jiang Qingyue, in fact, his trouble had already come, he just didn't want Jiang Qingyue to worry about his affairs.

Luo Bei's face was solemn, "There is no news yet, there is news from the shadow that Dong Cheng is definitely no longer in Hongxian County, he has sent people to look for him in all directions, but he is worried that if Dong Cheng wants to run, with his ability, the shadow will not be able to find it." ”

Dong Cheng is not an ordinary person, he was the personal guard with the King of Jin, the King of Jin is the favorite son of the emperor, the guards around him are one in a hundred, Dong Cheng was able to snatch back the body of the King of Jin when he was surrounded by enemy troops, and he has been incognito for so many years, Zhou Rui'an has been looking for several years as the commander of the Jinyi Guard to find his hiding place, and he knows this person's ability.

Shadow them, Zhou Rui'an felt that they might not be Dong Cheng's opponents.

Zhou Ruian tightened his brows: "I'm only worried now, Dong Cheng didn't go by himself." ”

Luo Bei was taken aback: "Master, you mean that he was taken away?" ”

Zhou Rui'an's eyes flashed, "He has been hiding for so many years, but it's not to hide from me, don't forget, he was the only one who was alive when he knew about it." ”

The death of King Jin was not without questioning voices before, but these voices gradually disappeared after Emperor Xuande ascended the throne, and Emperor Xuande was of course the most reluctant person to see Dong Cheng alive.

Luo Bei twisted his eyebrows and said, "The master suspects that it is a saint?" ”

Zhou Ruian shook his head: "The emperor's body is not as good as before, and he knows about Princess Ningyang, didn't he send most of the shadow guards to investigate this matter?" He may not have the energy to go to Dong Cheng, what I'm worried about is ......"

"Master?" Luo Bei couldn't help but call.

Zhou Ruian said: "I'm worried about the queen." ”

"Queen?" Luo Bei looked surprised: "This is unlikely!" Now that the queen doesn't have many hole cards in her hand, she is like this, can she still catch Dong Cheng? ”

Luo Bei rarely questioned Zhou Rui'an's decision, but this time he really didn't believe the speculation.

Zhou Ruian said: "I hope I think about it more." After a pause, he continued: "Continue to find Dong Cheng, and pay close attention to the news of Zhengkun Palace, Concubine Qin will also go to a letter there, let her be alert, let her take the Seventh Prince to show up in front of the emperor, don't think that you can sit back and relax now, her son is not the prince yet!" ”

Luo Bei frowned at this time, and said hesitantly: "Master, do you really want to help the Seventh Prince to be the crown prince?" If he becomes the crown prince......"

When Zhou Rui'an has another matter, there will be no unjustification.
