Chu Nian rolled his eyes and smiled, "I also ask General Liu to thank Shen Erniang for saving her life for the little girl." General Liu's robe can be borrowed from a little girl? ”

The brows were furrowed, but seeing her thin body, Liu Qi still took off the robe on her body and carefully covered her, "Go to the Queen Mother?" ”

Chu Nian smiled, "The broken door, the little girl will compensate the Queen Mother for General Liu." ”

A hint of understanding flashed in Liu Qi's eyes, and he looked at Chu Nian's white hands without a trace, "I've known the third lady for so long, I didn't know that the third lady would ......."

"General Liu, don't forget that there are secret guards around the little girl, if you ask the secret guards to teach a few kung fu skills for self-preservation, if you encounter this kind of situation that they are not suitable for today, you will not suffer."

Liu Qi nodded to show understanding, "But next time the third lady should be careful, if it weren't for the fact that the other party has no martial arts today, the third lady is afraid that she will have to suffer more." ”

Chu Nian shook his head, "There are a lot of people who want to harm me, and I also hope to learn more from General Liu, after all, those secret guards at home can also teach me such a little bit of skin." ”

Liu Qi stared at her starry eyes and smiled, but he seemed to be very useful for Chu Nian's flattery. "Indeed, it is not easy for you women in the deep house."

At this time, Xiao Chen was walking with a lot of young girls, as if the competition on the lotus lantern side was over, and Mu Qing was also following the crowd alone.

Seeing Chu Nian standing side by side with Liu Qi, Xiao Chen's face was obviously stunned, "I've seen General Liu." ”

At this moment, Chu Nian's face was pale, and she almost wanted to fall, Liu Qi hurriedly took her in his arms, "Why did you come here?" ”

Xiao Chen hesitated and didn't know how to answer, so he listened to a person next to him: "I heard Chu Erniang say that the room where the Wushuang County Lord was changing clothes was on fire, and the rest of the people have already gone to invite the Queen Mother." ”

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, fire? I'm afraid that the central people will go to see her jokes.

Mu Qing walked out from behind, and when he saw Chu Nian's weak appearance, a trace of puzzlement flashed in his eyes, "If the house is on fire, is this boat still there?" ”

Everyone looked behind Chu Nian, and sure enough, there was not even a candle flame under the dark night, where did the fire come from?

Xiao Chen didn't give up, "No fire? That's probably because I'm bad, what's wrong with the three ladies? Why are your clothes so messy? ”

"When the official arrived, Sanniang was almost caught by the gangsters in the house, and the Sanniang struggled, which made the clothes messy, and now the gangster is dead."

Liu Qi indulged in his eyes, as if he knew what Xiao Chen's would say, even if Chu Nian was not defiled by the gangsters, Chu Nian's reputation would be ruined, but Liu Qi didn't ask Xiao Chen to speak, "Why did Mrs. Chu bring someone over so coincidentally, but she knew something in advance, and called someone to help the third lady?" ”

Mu Qing took a few steps forward, took Chu Nian from Liu Qi's arms, and looked at her suspiciously, "What's going on?" Men are not allowed to be present at the lotus banquet, what happened to Liu Qi? ”

At this moment, everyone's attention was on Liu Qi's body, and Chu Nian's face calmed down, "Someone did something in the locker room, General Liu was the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and he must have rushed over after discovering something strange here." ”

Mu Qing glanced at her inquiringly, and finally nodded, she looked back, and her gaze swept over Xiao Chen, who was facing Liu Qi, "It seems that the rumors are true, there are many female dependents in your family, otherwise I beg my father to pass you to my family, my family is not so troublesome." ”

Chu Nian smiled, "My father is not dead, if I succeed to the name of Zhenyuanhou, wouldn't it be a shame for my father to spread it." ”

"Hmph, let your step-room bully the father of your own daughter, don't do it."

Although he knew that she was just comforting herself, Chu Nian's heart was still slightly warm, after all, Mu Qing was not a fool, and it was useless to please the daughter of an almost lonely family, but it was just because of her true temperament and she didn't like to be false and wronged.

At this time, the Queen Mother was coming from a distance, and the ladies present and Liu Qi suddenly knelt down, she waved her hand, and then her eyes swept to Chu Nian, "What's going on?" General Liu? Didn't the mourning family say that the lotus banquet is an interaction between women, and men are not allowed to come. ”

Liu Qi lowered his head, "When the lower official was patrolling, he passed by the shore and saw two afterimages of a man and a woman in the dressing room from a distance, so he came to find out, but found that someone wanted to kill the daughter of a court official, so he saved Chu Sanniang. ”

The Queen Mother squinted, "Nian'er? Are you okay? ”

Chu Nian bowed respectfully, "Empress Dowager Lao is worried, the little girl is fine, and the villain has been punished by General Liu." ”

"That's good." The Queen Mother turned her eyes to look at Liu Qi, "This matter is a dereliction of duty by your Imperial Forest Army and an insult to the daughter of an official of the imperial court. ”

Liu Qiying went down, Chu Nian thanked him, and the Queen Mother waved her hand and said: "People are old, easy to be sleepy, mourning family go back to bed, if you want to play, play for a while." ”

After that, the Queen Mother turned around and left, and everyone was busy kneeling on the ground, "Congratulations to the Queen Mother." ”

After the Queen Mother left, Chu Nian raised her eyebrows and looked at the pale Xiao Chen, thinking that she didn't know that this matter could alarm the Queen Mother, so she made such a big fuss, fortunately, the Queen Mother didn't ask in detail, otherwise even if the Queen Mother was too lazy to care, she would have to treat Xiao Chen's sins.

Some of the ladies returned to the banquet without caring about themselves, and some stayed by Chu Nian's side to ask for warmth, until Mu Qing waved his hand impatiently and said, "After such a big event, the county lord is tired, it's time to go back and rest, everyone is scattered." ”

Seeing that everyone dispersed, Mu Qing turned his eyes to look at Liu Qi, pinched Chu Nian's arm again, turned to leave, Chu Nian lost his smile, and saw Liu Qi step forward.

"I'll send the third lady home."

Chu Nian didn't say no, he bent down, picked Chu Nian up horizontally, and took advantage of the night to ignore the patrolling Imperial Forest Army out of the palace wall.

The patrolling guards looked at each other, "Who is the general holding in his arms?" ”

"It seems to be Chu Sanniang'......"

"The general is finally with Chu Sanniang?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Ming Xiu was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and his face was always silly, "Brothers of the Imperial Forest Army!" Let's play a game with the orphan for a while. ”

"Your Highness, we still have to patrol...... Oops! Your Highness, can we change to a thinner stick to play! ”

"Ahh Your Highness, light! ”

……

At the same time, Liu Qi gently landed at the door of Chu's house with the person in his arms, and Chu Nian smiled lightly and returned the robe to Liu Qi.

"General, the night breeze is slightly cool, pay attention to the good health."

Liu Qi watched with a stunned face as she put her robe on herself, and watched her turn away, seeing that she was about to walk into the gate of the Chu family, when she was full of enthusiasm, she said to stop her: "Third lady, why don't you take advantage of this moment, how about you and I go to the Chengxi Restaurant to talk about it?" ”

Chu Nian paused, looked back, smiled lightly, and Liu Qi only felt a whole trembling heart in his chest.

She'll say yes, right? What if she doesn't agree? Why is he so abrupt, and what if he dislikes her......

But he didn't think about it, the little man jumped down the steps with a light smile, returned to him, and looked up at him, "If General Liu wants, the little girl should accompany her life-saving benefactor." ”

Liu Qi's chest was still for a moment, and then he touched his nose in embarrassment, "It's the third lady who saved herself properly, don't tease me." ”

Chu Nian smiled and didn't speak, and the two went to the "Walnut Tavern" in the west of the city, this Walnut Tavern is very famous, in her previous life, Su Nian often encouraged her eldest brother to take her to eat and drink, and then sneaked into the house after the wine dissipated, for fear that Mrs. Su would find out about their brother and sister going out to eat and drink.

And the owner of this walnut tavern is not very human, the children of the eunuchs in the city are lawless in the capital, but only when they arrive at his house do not dare to make trouble, there was a son of the household servant who was drunk and drunk in the walnut tavern, and was found to have thrown the body into the wilderness early the next morning, but the household servant did not dare to make a noise, just hastily did something.

Since then, the children of these eunuchs seem to have tacitly acknowledged, and they no longer dare to make trouble here. Afterwards, Su Nian felt that this matter was a little strange, and sent someone to investigate, but only found that the owner of the Walnut Tavern sneaked into the house of the waiter of the transfer department in the middle of the night, and other information about the owner of the tavern seemed to be deliberately covered up, and nothing could be found out, and Su Nian was distressed.

But now it is not what it used to be, and it is not Su Yuanlang and Su Liuniang who are standing in front of the Walnut Tavern again, but General Liu and Chu Sanniang.

"Sanniang, how is the peach blossom drunk?"

Liu Qi raised his eyes to look at her, but his eyes couldn't focus, as if he was looking at another person through her.

Chu Nian nodded and counted as a response, and after a short time, all the wine and food were put on the table.

Crab Biluo, boiled beef head, fresh fish stew, the three dishes are all meat dishes, Chu Nian can't tell whether Liu Qi is intentional or unintentional, the three dishes are all what Su Nian liked in his previous life.

It's a pity that in this life, she prefers to be a vegetarian.

After three rounds of drinking, Chu Nian's complexion did not change, but Liu Qi seemed to be overwhelmed by alcohol, "Third lady, do you know that you are like a person......

Chu Nian's expression did not move, he picked up the fresh fish stew, dipped it in the sauce in the plate, and then put it in his mouth.

"Su ...... Su Liu, she also has the same temperament as you, the two of you are extremely similar in appearance, Sanniang, do you know, the first time I saw you, I almost thought you were the reincarnation of her soul......"

Chu Nian quietly filled Liu Qi's wine bowl again, Liu Qi smirked and drank it all, "Later, I thought clearly, if she is dead, she is dead, how can she still come back to life." ”

"If the teacher hadn't been so stubborn at the beginning, if she had listened to my persuasion and told the Su family to return to the Wang family, how could the Su family suffer such sins?"

Chu Nianshui's eyes narrowed slightly, picked up the teacup, and took a sip, and the edge of the teacup seemed to be broken.

At this time, a man in white who was listening alone got up and walked over, "Isn't this General Liu?" ”

Liu Qi looked up drunkenly, "Yes?" ”

The man's gaze swept over Chu Nian, "It's clear that you harmed the Su family to the Jedi, how can you be embarrassed to talk about it at this moment?" If you say it, you are not afraid that others will laugh and lose their big teeth, and besides, if you remember the guilty ministers of the Su family, are you not afraid that you will be discovered by the people of the court and arrested you as the rest of the party? ”

Chu Nian quietly put down the wine cup in his hand, but his eyes fell on Liu Qi's face, and he smiled lightly, as if he was looking forward to his answer.

Looking at Chu Nian's gaze, Liu Qi instantly sobered up, and he opened his mouth, "It's good that the Su family has committed a heinous crime, and if you do it again, I will never speak for the Su family." ”

A heinous crime? Do it all over again? Never speak for the Su family?

Something overflowed in Chu Nian's chest, and if she didn't vent, it would gush out, but she still smiled lightly and said, "General Liu is tired, go back to the house and rest." ”
