"Huainan Wang Chuxiao?" Qiu Yulan was surprised: "Why him?" When she was suddenly summoned to the palace, Ruan Qingyan gave her urgent counseling to the main members of the royal family, so she also heard of this Huainan King - he was originally the half-brother of the present, but when he was a child, he passed on to the first emperor's brother-in-law Gong Huai Prince.

At the beginning, Emperor Gaozong first established his eldest son, but he died of illness before he ascended the throne, and he had no children under his knees. Gaozong reinstated the first emperor as the prince, and the first emperor chose the fourth son Chu Xiao to succeed the prince of Gonghuai.

Because he is the biological blood of the first emperor, and he is the heir of the prince, Chu Xiao is extremely preferential to both the first emperor and this dynasty. Now this prince should be less than fifty, in addition to the lord of the king of Huainan, he also leads the identity of Zongzheng Siqing, and he is the clan of the Empress Dowager Gu and Empress Jiang who will be polite when they see each other.

Qiu Yulan has never heard that this person has anything to do with the Xihe Palace, after all, Zongzheng Temple is in charge of the clan, but the Xihe Palace's is a king with a different surname, which will inevitably be suspicious, "But Qiu Hongzhi pulled the line for you?" ”

Kang Lizhang hurriedly said: "Where do you think of going?" I didn't even dare to say anything about my mother except for you. ”

"Aunt Kang, that stupid person, has more than enough success and more than failure, what do you have to say to her?" Qiu Yulan frowned and asked, "Then how did you think of this person who can't fight together with eight poles?" ”

“…… Because he had had such intentions before. Kang Lizhang's eyes darkened, "Two years ago, on the birthday of his daughter Lihui County Lord, I went to congratulate Qiu Jinzhu together, and after being known at the banquet, I was very ridiculed, so I hid in the garden...... Cry for a while...... was touched by him, and the next day he sent someone to the door to hint at it. Later, my grandmother had a quarrel with my eldest uncle and pushed it away. ”

At that time, Kang Lizhang was arrogant, how could he be small? Even if it is the prince's concubine, it is just a concubine in the end.

Qiu Yulan didn't expect such a thing, and said: "He had the intention at the beginning, but you pushed it here, and he didn't seem to mention it in the past two years?" Do you want to deliver it yourself now? ”

"Then if he is willing to accept one, I am too shameless." Kang Lizhang sighed, "So I want to beg you to help me." ”

"What's the help? I don't know this prince, even if I do, do I go and tell him that you want to make him small, and you will have face? Qiu Yulan said.

Kang Lizhang bit his lip: "Can you inquire about his entry and exit for me?" At the beginning, he just watched me from afar...... What if he saw me again and thought about it again? Now that my grandmother is gone, I think my uncle, who doesn't know what I heard that night, will definitely agree to him. ”

Qiu Yulan nodded: "Then what good do I have?" ”

"If I enter the Huainan Palace......" Kang Lizhang was interrupted in the middle of his words: "Then you will be free, can I still rush to the Huainan Palace to teach you a lesson?!" ”

Kang Lizhang was embarrassed: "But I don't have many private rooms - not to mention that my aunt is looking at me very closely now, if she finds out that I take a lot of things out for you, I will definitely be suspicious!" ”

"What are you anxious about now?" Qiu Yulan waved his hand, "Chu Xiao still takes a fancy to you even after two years, don't forget that the Lu clan has only been dead for a few days?" As a granddaughter, you haven't been filial yet! This will open his mouth, Qiu Mengmin agreed, don't you have to wait until Xiaoman to go out? In case he forgets you again and doesn't pick you up when the time comes, do you say you're embarrassed? ”

"......" Kang Lizhang was silent.

Qiu Yulan continued: "So, it's better to wait for Qiu Hongzhi's wedding, and then you can discuss filial piety." ”

smiled meaningfully, "If you are well-behaved these days, I may have a way to find you a side concubine position - this is much more decent than being a concubine!" ”

Kang Lizhang's eyes lit up, and then he was a little suspicious: "I remember that the position of King Huainan's side concubine is full?" ”

"Believe it or not?" Qiu Yulan said firmly, "Anyway, I put my words here, it's up to you whether you listen or not!" ”

…… After Kang Lizhang left, Su He asked curiously: "Does the county lord want to attack the side concubine of King Huainan?" ”

"How is that possible?" Qiu Yulan said disapprerovingly, "If my hand can be stretched so long, the first one to clean up Jiang Qisheng and Tao Peibin first, who has the kung fu to deal with irrelevant people?" ”

Su He was surprised: "That...... Do you want to be Miss Biao's side concubine? ”

"Talk about it casually, coax her." Qiu Yulan looked at his henchman with an incredible gaze, and said confidently, "Have you forgotten that we are about to ask Qiu Mengmin for a dowry?" Maybe she'll be able to help then? Draw her a big pie in advance, and she will be more motivated to help us when the time comes! ”

Su He ate and said: "But, in case she wants you to fulfill her promise afterwards......"

"Does she have the power to force me to keep my promise?" Qiu Yulan said very shamelessly, "What's more, who else heard what I said just now, besides you?" Do you want to betray me? ”

Su He and the others were busy and didn't dare.

"Isn't that the end of it? has no evidence, just she has a mouth? Qiu Yulan said indifferently, "She said that I promised like this, and I also said that she wanted to be a side concubine and wanted to be confused, nonsense!" ”

"......" Everyone collectively mourned for her festival for a moment, and then wiped the cold sweat and changed the topic: "It's almost noon, what does the county lord want to use......"

In the afternoon of this day, the subordinates of the General's Mansion came over and said that there seemed to be a problem with the accounts in the "Renqing Hall", and the shopkeeper He Zifu did not dare to call the shots, so he reported to Ruan Qingyan - but Ruan Qingyan was so busy in the past two days that he really didn't have time to ask, so he left a message for Qiu Yulan to sit in charge for him.

Qiu Yulan naturally didn't shirk it, and went out happily - and then entered the backyard of "Renqing Hall", and she couldn't be happy after seeing Ruan Qingyan sitting in the hall with a black face!

"Cousin, didn't you go to Mirror Lake today?" Qiu Yulan cautiously asked for peace, and smiled respectfully.

Ruan Qingyan asked expressionlessly, "What's going on with Yunyi Tower?!" ”

"It's Princess Chunfu who wears men's clothes and is misunderstood." Qiu Yulan said aggrievedly, "Fortunately, things have been made clear......"

"Don't fool me with the rhetoric that the Jiang family uses to prevaricate outsiders!" Ruan Qingyan sneered and said, "Do you think that I watched Ling Xiaohou's face to help the 'Jinbao Pavilion' this time, and I didn't have a friendship with the people of the 'Drinking Spring Tower'?" To tell you the truth, the proprietor behind the Yunyi Building is the same as the 'Drinking Spring Building', and I used to go to Yunyi Building often - there is no one I don't know from the shopkeeper to the second child! What the hell happened yesterday, let me tell you in detail?! ”

Qiu Yulan burst into tears: "You know and ask me?!" I'm just being pitted, okay! ”

This kind of cousin really can't afford it, okay? He can find eyeliner everywhere!

You can't lie happily!

"Who told you to run there! Is this an occasion for a serious girl?! Ruan Qingyan was furious, "And when you go to that kind of place, you don't even say a word to me in advance!" Do you still have my brother in your eyes! ”

Qiu Yulan was about to vomit blood: You don't need to be such a feudal autocratic patriarch! What about the gentle and considerate cousin who said yes?!

“…… I thought it was because the Jiang family was worried about your mixing with the Oiran Sai, so they deliberately made an excuse to call me over to explain. Qiu Yulan said weakly, "Who would have thought that such a thing would happen?" That Jiang Bagongzi is unreliable! ”

Ruan Qingyan sneered and said, "Jiang Yadan? Do you think that you have been discredited, and it is really all Jiang Yadan's doing? ”

Qiu Yulan was stunned: "Cousin knows? "You're so capable! It's only been one night, and the truth about the Jiang family's hiding will be known? Then I thought that Ruan Qingyan was known as Yunyi, and there was no one he didn't know upstairs...... It's no wonder.

Sure enough, Ruan Qingyan said coldly: "You were led downstairs, and you were separated from Su He, and you were misled by the changed name to enter the 'Curling Offering Jade', which was all done by Jiang Yadan." However, when you left the 'White Crane Lying Snow', the reason why no one accompanied you downstairs was because Jiang Qiqi and the Tao family did it deliberately! ”

Speaking of this, a very violent aura flashed in his eyes, "Do you know why they did this? ”

"The two of them knew at the time that I would strayed into the 'curling jade' when I went upstairs?" Qiu Yulan was stunned, "Then they are still fueling the troubles?" That Tao Peibin has been in love with Jiangya Frost for a long time! At this point, a sudden spirit suddenly stirred, "No! It should be that they don't know that Jiang Yadan tricked me out in order to lock me up with Jiang Yashuang - they thought that Jiang Yadan had beaten me by himself! ”

Thinking about this section, Qiu Yulan only felt that a bucket of ice water was poured on his head!

If Jiang Yadan really made up her mind, with her current strength, how much hope can she have to escape yesterday?! originally thought that Jiang Qisheng and Tao Peibin spread rumors to ruin her reputation because they didn't win the lawsuit in front of Mrs. Tao - now I know that the co-authors have long wanted to ruin her!

Seeing her frightened and angry appearance, Ruan Qingyan relented, slowed down his tone and said comfortingly: "Fortunately, you didn't really suffer, and now the Jiang family has also given a cover-up statement...... This account, for my brother to be busy with this paragraph, I will calculate it for you! Speaking of the last sentence, Ruan Qingyan's eyes were full of haze.

Qiu Yulan also felt angry yesterday for Jiang Yashuang to decisively send Tao Peibin, and now when he heard that Tao Peibin's mind was so ruthless, he suddenly felt that he was really partial to his cousin - this kind of vicious bastard was actually rushed back?!

She had a gloomy face, ignored Ruan Qingyan's comfort, and gritted her teeth and said, "These two poisonous women! I will never let them go! ”

Ruan Qingyan was very distressed, and regained his gentleness and thoughtfulness as a good cousin, and comforted him softly for a long time, and was relieved to see Qiu Yulan gradually returning to his normal color—at this time, his little servant Ruan Yi dared to come up and remind: "The private banquet over there of the 'Jinbao Pavilion' has passed for half an hour, if you don't move, I'm afraid that Ling Xiaohou won't be able to cover it up for too long, and when it is known, I am afraid that I will be suspicious." ”

Qiu Yulan rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Cousin, go ahead, I'm fine, don't worry." She knew why Ruan Qingyan pretended that something had happened to "Renqingtang" and asked her to meet here, it was nothing more than that the city was full of wind and rain in Beijing now, and she was afraid that she would make matters worse for her reputation that had been swept away.

Ruan Qingyan sighed, stood up, and said, "Take good care...... You took two steps and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I recently met a friend of the same department, who happens to have the same surname as you." His little sister is a year younger than you, and in the past two days, he plans to hire a female teacher to teach, and I remember that your female teacher Shao is quite famous in Beijing, so I recommend his sister to go to you, and I can also be a companion for you. ”

Qiu Yulan said unexpectedly: "The surname Qiu is not common, it can't be the pair of sisters and brothers at the gate of the Gongyuan last time, right?" ”

"It's their house." Ruan Qingyan said, "Their ancestors have only been raised, and now Qiu Nie has become a jinshi, his sister is old, and she has long let him study and manage the family business with peace of mind. ”

Qiu Yulan said suspiciously: "But I am not the only one in the Xihe Palace, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the undercurrent is turbulent, but it is not a good place to go!" ”

"I also told him this, what he means is that he can't even mix well with a boudoir, which proves that his sister doesn't have the ability to enter the mansion at all, so it's better to raise it and find an honest and honest husband." Ruan Qingyan snorted, "So you don't have to take special care of it...... I'm gone, you be careful. ”

Qiu Yulan replied absentmindedly, looking at his back and wondering: "When did my cousin take care of such a nossy matter?" Or does Qiu Nie have a place where his cousin can use it? "Otherwise, Ruan Qingyan didn't even accept that Wang Qingyan last time, let alone take the initiative to teach her a girl?
