"County Lord, why don't you listen to the secret that Miss Fourth said?" After Zhou's mother escorted Qiu Mingzhu to see Princess Yang, Su He poured a glass of rose dew, handed it to Qiu Yulan, and asked curiously, "What ......secrets does the maid think she should really know?"

"But does it have to do with us?" Qiu Yulan smiled slightly, took a sip of rose dew, and said, "The first thing we ask for now is self-preservation, and then don't look at people's eyes, and then there are other things to be busy with...... It's not a good thing to know too many secrets too soon! ”

She thought to herself, there was obviously a chuckle outside the window just now, who knows if it was Princess Yang or Mrs. Lu's people who followed Qiu Mingzhu all the way, maybe they were still in ambush at the back window to eavesdrop at this moment?

Su He nodded as if he didn't understand: "The fourth young lady wants to tell you, and she is also uneasy and kind!" She's so bad! ”

"She has her own aunt and Mrs. Lu to take care of it, so we don't have to pay attention to it." Qiu Yulan glanced meaningfully at the back window and patted her, "It's not early, let's settle it!" ”

At this time, the wind and snow were heavy, even in the dead of night, Qiu Yulan still couldn't tell if the eavesdropper was gone. Anyway, the matter caused by Qiu Hongzhi's fall into the water can't end for a while, Qiu Yulan feels that it is better to be careful and mention this matter tomorrow.

Let Su He make the bed and send her to the outside room to wait for Zhou's mother to come back.

Originally, at least one of the two ancestors and grandchildren had to sleep in front of her bed to keep vigil for her, but Qiu Yulan developed the habit of not being able to sleep peacefully if there were people nearby in the last days, so when she came back from Dizi Mountain, she found an excuse to change this rule.

After Su He left, Qiu Yulan was about to fall asleep, when the back window was tapped a few times rhythmically.

"Huh?" Qiu Yulan frowned, thought about it, and shouted in a low voice, "Who?!" ”

"Frost in the lower river cliffs." Outside the back window, a young man's voice came from a young man who also deliberately lowered his voice, gentle and elegant, "I came to ask the county lord for his guilt, dare to ask the county lord if it is convenient to go to the back window?" ”

Is the Ningtai County Lord thinking about the little general Jiang who didn't climb up? The beloved grandson of the Duke of Qin, the son of the general of Zhenbei, the nephew of Empress Jiang, and the cousin of Princess Yongfu......

Qiu Yulan squinted: It will be inconvenient for fools!

She didn't hesitate: "Please stay less!" I'll come over here! ”

Wrapped casually in a fur coat, she hurried behind the screen and opened the back window, but there was no expected wind and snow in her face, only a few wisps of cold wind swept in - a young man in a white fox fur saw her appear at the window, reached out and pulled down the hood, revealing a jade face, and smiled at her friendly.

The young man was holding a jade bamboo hairpin with long inky hair, and a finger of snow had accumulated on his coat, and he was standing in front of the back window like a javelin, blocking most of the wind and snow for her.

"Jiang ...... Little general? Qiu Yulan only glanced at it, and knew that the chuckle he heard just now should be him, and there was a hint of surprise on his face, "Last time, Ling Mei and the little general didn't mean it, I thought about it, why bother to take it to heart?" ”

Jiang Yashuang made a gesture outside the window, smiled lightly, and said, "Yongfu is messing around, and he also offended the county lord that night, how can he forget it later?" He took out a half-foot square box from his sleeve and handed it over through the window, "This is the secret gyokuro paste made in the palace, which can make the skin soft and fair, remove scars, and hope that the county lord can accept it!" ”

"I need this thing, but it's disrespectful!" Qiu Yulan thought for a moment and immediately took it.

"Originally, Zaihe Yongfu planned to visit the door, but the person who returned Nian Xue as said by the Xihe Royal Mansion was a bit problematic. In addition, the county lord's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet this year is inconvenient to enter the palace. Jiang Yashuang didn't say goodbye, but continued to say softly, "So I can only take the liberty to come tonight and hope that the county lord will forgive." After saying that, it was another one.

Qiu Yulan secretly sighed that the Jiang family had a good tutor - this is going to change Qiu Mengmin's two sons, there is a chance to stay together, it would be good not to take advantage of the opportunity, and apologize afterwards? It's almost the same as biting yourself to seduce them afterwards!

She pursed her lips and smiled: "General Lao Xiao has made this trip, in fact, I have long forgotten those things." ”

Jiang Yashuang chuckled and said, "The county lord is broad-minded, and he is very grateful!" He pondered for a while, and then said, "In the past two days, I have taken the liberty to inquire about some county lords, and my sister plans to ask the fourth aunt to mention the county lord at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, I don't know if the county lord is willing?" ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess is kind, I'm afraid...... I deserve it! When Qiu Yulan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but immediately shook his head, "I said, since the matter has passed, I have forgotten it." After accepting this box of jade dew paste tonight, I was already uneasy, how could I dare to bother again? ”

Without waiting for Jiang Yashuang to say anything, she said again, "The little general has been out for a long time, please go back early, so as not to snow in the middle of the night and be bad for your health!" Saying that, he nodded, and directly in front of Jiang Yashuang, he slammed the window shut!

Jiang Yashuang stared at the closed back window for a moment, a playful smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she raised her hand to brush the snow on her shoulder, and then floated away.

Half an hour later, in the courtyard of the Jiang family adjacent to the Xihe Palace, a girl who looked twelve or thirteen years old, with delicate eyebrows and eyes that looked like paintings, pursed the corners of her mouth and commented: "No wonder this Ningyi County Lord will be bullied like that by the Xihe Palace!" Such a small guts! Princess Ben took the initiative to support her, she didn't dare to be in the limelight! What a waste of this princess's kindness! Leave her alone next time! ”

Jiang Yashuang, who had just come back, leisurely picked up the tinu and poured herself a bowl of hot tea, before she smiled and said, "You are wrong, if I were in her situation, I would also refuse!" ”

Princess Yongfu was surprised: "Why? ”

"Because you want the fourth aunt to mention her in public, not yourself-" Jiang Yashuang said lightly, "The fourth aunt is the queen today!" A word in private will be speculated and speculated by countless people, let alone mention a person in public, or someone who has never been mentioned on such an occasion as the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet before? ”

"You only know that the fourth aunt mentioning her will make the Xihe Mansion dare not snub her anymore. But I didn't think of anything else. Jiang Yashuang shook her head and said, "Have you forgotten Deng Yi, the fiancé of Lord Ningyi?" He is the niece and grandson of the Queen Mother! If the fourth aunt mentioned the county lord of Ningyi, what would the queen mother think? How can she be qualified to get involved in the dispute between the two queens now? In this case, of course, it is better to give up this opportunity! It's better than being suspected by the Queen Mother and throwing herself into the fourth aunt and dying without a place to be buried! ”

Princess Yongfu thought for a moment and said, "I know, then I will tell the queen mother when I go back, and ask her not to mention Ning Yi at that time." ”

"Actually!" Jiang Yashuang smiled meaningfully, but said, "If you want to help her, there is another way......"
