After the palace banquet ended, after Qin Song said goodbye to Wang Junting and his newly acquainted Zhou Tianse and Yue Le'er, it was already the second watch day when he returned to the Qin Mansion.

Several maids were waiting at the door, their concern overflowing.

"Miss, are you thirsty, I'll go make tea right away!"

"Miss, are you hungry, I'll go to the kitchen to get supper!"

"Miss, you look so bad!" …… In response to this series of earnest questions, Qin Song couldn't cry or laugh, rubbed his temples and walked home, and ordered: "I'm a little tired, get some hot water, I want to take a bath." Several maids looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, they all felt that Miss was wrong today, and when they were about to speak, they were stopped by Yuesheng secretly waving her hand behind Qin Song's back.

The hot water had already been prepared, and soon Qin Song's whole person was immersed in the bathtub, closing his eyes and slowly digesting all the things that happened at today's palace banquet.

It all started with King Zhao's words, no, perhaps...... Since he chose to wear this purple dress to participate in the palace banquet, he has already walked into the trap, and now, he is surrounded by enemies.

Qin Song frowned in distress, finding that he couldn't clearly analyze today's situation at all, and with his own little thoughts and careful thoughts, he couldn't figure out the thoughts of these big people at all.

A cool breeze blew in through the crack in the window, Qin Song felt a shiver in her back, and she suddenly remembered the eyes of the ladies of the family looking at her......

"Hiss-" Yes, this is the problem that should be dealt with now, this palace banquet is afraid that he has caused himself a lot of trouble, and then, the figure of the initiator Zhou Tianyi appeared in his mind, fierce, uninhibited, gentle, quiet, there are too many words that can be put on him, Qin Song can't figure out what this person wants at all, why did he catch himself out of the crowd, why is it her?

No—that day

In the back hall of "He's", she said that she wanted him to be the concubine, although it was a joke, but what he wanted to say at the time was

"The heart belongs". Before that day, King Zhao had never met her, so he said...... If it weren't for the day

"The heart belongs" as an excuse to refuse, and this time she was used as a shield because of her identity. She couldn't tell which was true and which was false.

Myself...... I was just wondering how sincere he was? Now I'm afraid it's time to ask him if he has a sincere heart, right?

"Miss! Miss, wake up, you're going to catch a cold. I don't know how long it was, but Yuesheng's voice made her confused consciousness a little clearer, gently

After saying "um", she lay down on the bed under the waiting of several maids, and as soon as it stuck to the pillow, she fell asleep.

A good night's sleep and a good night's sleep. - In the early morning of the next day, Qin Song finished breakfast and was preparing to draw a design drawing of a new hairpin flower, when Wang Junting came to the door

"Guilty plea" is coming. Yesterday's palace banquet was in front of so many people, Qin Song didn't want to have a seizure with her, I thought she would hide from her for a few days, but I didn't expect to find the door early in the morning.

Putting down the pen, Qin Song went to the front hall with an extremely upright smiling face and stepped forward to greet Wang Junting.

"Oh, don't look at me like that, I didn't lie to you!" Seeing Qin Song's impeccable face, Wang Junting immediately defended himself in a soft voice,

"I didn't say that I prepared the clothes and hairpins!"

"Why didn't you tell me?" Qin Song raised his eyebrows, his expression did not ease down at all, if it was King Zhao's plan, she would have been informed by the Wang family, she would also have room for consideration and psychological preparation, but Bisheng didn't tell her anything, so caught off guard.

"You, you didn't ask me......" Wang Junting didn't know Qin Song's considerations, so he only pursed his lips weakly,

"How did I know that His Royal Highness King Zhao would do such a bold thing!" This sentence is true, she really didn't expect Zhou Tianyi to also have a full set of purple clothes, and she didn't expect him to ask for marriage in public before the emperor.

Qin Song sighed, Wang Junting was an accomplice at best, or an accomplice who was half-kept in the dark, what could he do with her?

"Qin Song! Qin - Song! Wang Junting took Qin Song's arm and shook it again and again, seeing that Qin Song's demeanor was getting more and more relaxed, she begged more fiercely.

"That's it! I don't blame you! Qin Song's tone had completely softened, he glanced at Wang Junting, and said with a bitter face: "But, what now?" As soon as the news of the palace banquet came out, now the entire Jingzhou knows that King Zhao Zhou Tianyi likes her and begs to marry her, but she, unbeknownst to the sky, is not nodding!

Let's not talk about herself, in the next period of time, the Qin family doesn't know how many rumors and rumors she will have to face, and her business will have to suffer some twists and turns, she will have a headache!

"The rumors stop at the wise, and it will be fine after a while." Wang Junting said easily, but she knew very well in her heart that Zhou Tianyi had already taken care of Qin Song, and Qin Song would never be able to return to the comfortable life of purely doing business and making money in the past, but at the same time, somehow, she also had some expectations for the future of Qin Song and Zhou Tianyi together.

"You...... Are you sure? "So-called

"Rumors", that is a rumor with no basis and source, now Zhou Tianyi's request for marriage and her delay are both facts, they are not rumors at all, and of course they cannot stop at the wise.

"There's another way to spread news that is more interesting or shocking to other people than that, and your little thing will be forgotten." The methods that Wang Junting said had already been thought of by Qin Song, but they were unrealistic and could not be implemented, besides...... Besides, will the other party cooperate with his side?

"Miss, someone from King Zhao's Mansion sent a food box." The full moon carried the food box and did not step into the front hall, only waiting outside the door.

"Where's the person who delivered the food box?" Looking at the delicate food box, a bad premonition rose in Qin Song's heart.

"It's gone!"

"Hey...... The full moon ......, "Qin Song is helpless, if Yuesheng or Yueluo goes to receive the people in the palace who sent the food box, maybe they can still maneuver around, but the full moon is an upright girl, so she directly brought the food box back, which means that she accepted his ...... Purpose?

"It's all collected, open it and take a look?" Wang Junting was full of curiosity about the contents of the food box, Zhou Tianyi was a smart person, the Qin family was wealthy, and the merchants traveled all over Zhuhua, and the strange playthings could not attract Qin Song's attention, so ...... His idea came to eating?

Seeing that Qin Song didn't object, Wang Junting only took it as her acquiescence, beckoned to the full moon and motioned for her to come in, and raised his hand to lift the lid of the food box.

"W-Isn't this the flower dew of that house?" As she spoke, she glanced out the window, this season, it should be peach blossom dew, right?

This flower dew mixed into the sweet soup is fragrant and pleasant, delicious and sweet, and can be smeared on the body to moisturize and nourish the skin, very popular with women, but the supply is very small, almost every day when the shop is opened, it is sold out, where did His Royal Highness King Zhao come from to get such a big bottle?

The food box has two layers, and she immediately opened the second layer, and inside is a plate of small snacks.

"Hmm, this, Master Zhao's Mansion Yi's Ziyun Crisp?" Master Yi she has seen, an old imperial chef in his seventies, who was deeply loved by the emperor when he was young, was on an errand in the palace when he was young, and was later asked by Zhou Tianyi from the emperor to his own mansion.

Because he was close to seventy when he arrived at the Zhaowang Mansion, he only concentrated on developing dim sum, and now he has actually reached the age of returning to his hometown.

Swallowing his saliva, Wang Junting glanced at Qin Song again.

"I've already taken it, eat it if you want!" Qin Song smiled and approached the food box,

He ...... Cough. Realizing the gaffe, she immediately changed her words,

"What did the person who delivered the object say?" Wang Junting, who had already touched a piece of purple cloud cake, raised his eyes slightly, and bent the corners of his mouth without showing a trace, also paying attention to the bottom of the full moon.

"No...... What do you say, just say that it will be handed over to my young lady. The full moon tilted her head, thinking that the handsome little guard had indeed said nothing more.

Qin Song was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Wang Junting, and the other party seemed to have received her gaze, and felt that he couldn't be a perfect good person caught in the middle, so he raised his head and said innocently: "I promise I don't know, the clothes and silver hairpin are accidents, if I knew that he was going to do that, I would definitely inform you." "Ziyun is crispy and delicious, stained with Qin Song's light, Wang Junting's hand stretched out to the dish again,

"Master Yi was originally the imperial chef in the palace, don't waste his skills, you can also taste it?"

"How can I afford the imperial chef to cook for me personally!" Although he sighed, in line with the principle of not wasting food, Qin Song also reached out to the porcelain plate, took a piece of purple cloud crisp and ate it slowly, sweet but not greasy, soft and delicate, it is indeed an old craft.

Wang Junting was silent, she and Zhou Tianyi have known each other since childhood, although he is mostly soaked in the barracks, and there are not many opportunities to actually meet, but Zhou Tianyi treats her the same as his sister Zhou Tianse, and when he returns to Beijing, he does not forget to give the Wang family some small things, but so far, she has never seen him pay attention to a woman to such an extent.

Similarly, she and Qin Song have also known each other since childhood, and their family friends are of the same age as Wei Long, they were playmates when they were young, and now they are close friends.

Qin Song's sigh with helplessness was not unreasonable, the Qin family had wealth but no power, so they had to laugh and maneuver between officials and businessmen, and Qin Song was exposed to this.

After a while, she pushed Qin Song's hand, with some forbearance in her voice,

"Qin Song, don't look down on yourself casually." Qin Song understood what she meant, and said with relief: "I'll just talk about it casually." "Since she was a child, Wang Junting has seen too many of Qin Song's disadvantages in negotiations with the family, and she often complains about her.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wang Junting immediately opened the topic,

"Hey, look at me, patronizing and eating, forgetting about business." As he spoke, he took out an invitation from his sleeve,

"In a few days, Tianse will hold a small party in the mansion, and she will ask me to give you an invitation."

"Princess Changping?" Hearing this name, Qin Song hesitated a little, yesterday's palace banquet, this week Tianse saw her and chatted a few words, so he took one bite at a time

"Nine Emperor Sister-in-law" screamed without twisting her mouth, and she almost got into it. Thinking of her smooth Nine Emperor sisters-in-law when she said goodbye last night, she nodded with her in return, as if she had already confirmed this identity, Qin Song couldn't help but feel embarrassed in her heart.

"Come on, come on, it's always good to see more." Wang Junting agreed, Zhou Tianse's intentions, Qin Song should be able to understand it, right?

Now it has become different, the current Qin Song wants to gain a foothold in the current Beijing and Zhou, it is not enough to rely on the Qin family, it must rely on power, and the Wang family can help is limited after all, but if Zhou Tianse pulls the line and allows Qin Song to go directly to the upper level, then it will be easy to say.

"Thank you, Princess Changping, for me." Accepting the invitation, Qin Song smiled. The sin was also invited, the post was also sent, Wang Junting touched another piece of Ziyun Crisp and was about to leave, and before leaving, he did not forget to tell Qin Song and the full moon, don't tell His Royal Highness King Zhao that she ate half of this plate.

Qin Song smiled, but still nodded. After Wang Junting left, several maids came around, and they all showed considerable curiosity about the things sent by King Zhao, and when they saw that it was just a plate of food and a bottle of peach blossom dew, they seemed to be lacking in interest.

Instead, he stared at his own young lady with an ambiguous look. Qin Song was startled and shouted

"I've been too indulgent to you on weekdays, but now I'm bold," he glared at them and sent them away.

And when the rest of me was alone in front of the food box, there was a trace of warmth in my heart, and I couldn't calm down now.
