Chapter 17: Midnight Meeting (I)

Su He said tremblingly: "It's the maid who thinks about it himself!" ”

"Why?" Qiu Yulan frowned.

“…… Because my cousin is now concentrating on his future career. Su He bit his lip and said timidly, "The maid is afraid that he will be good to the county lord, and it is for this family business that the county lord has decided." So...... Want to try him. ”

"Shouldn't I be here for this kind of thing?" Qiu Yulan thought to herself, no wonder Old Madam Lu wanted to talk about Ruan Qingyan, maybe she was good-hearted, no, even Su He doubted him!

Su He teary-eyed: "Then how can it be done?" If the servant says the wrong thing, you will be beaten and scolded, and you can always explain to your cousin. But in case you told your cousin that he was stiff, now he is here! ”

"Don't worry about this kind of thing in the future!" Qiu Yulan looked at the little girl who was not as tall as she is now and sighed, "I have a sense of proportion!" Seeing that Su He was going to say something more, she simply slapped the table again, "You're disobedient, aren't you?" ”

Su He said: "The servant doesn't dare, the servant will be obedient in the future!" ”

"Let's go fetch water." Qiu Yulan sent her out, and her face sank:

In front of her right now, there is an imminent threat from the people of Xihe Palace, after seeing the appearance of Old General Ruan, she has decided to kill Old Madam Lu after she goes back, otherwise she really can't sleep - the other is a marriage contract that seems to have a buffer of two or three years.

But the latter is far trickier than the former.

According to her memory, her marriage with Deng Yi was the relative of Deng Yiti, the king of Guangyang, and then agreed to it by Qiu Mengmin, the king of Xihe.

When Princess Ruan knew, the two Geng stickers had been replaced.

The backstage of Guangyang Palace's Mansion is the Empress Dowager Gu, so it is almost impossible for me to regret this marriage. The only hope is that Deng Yi doesn't want to become this family and entangle with his family...... But this marriage was set two years ago, and if Deng Yi was willing to make trouble, I am afraid that it would not have been delayed until now.

"I originally wanted to keep that favor for later use, but now it seems that it is better to settle the marriage contract first, so as not to have too many dreams at night - what if people forget me in a few days?" Qiu Yulan thought about it, although Ruan Qingyan was wholeheartedly helping her, this cousin had only just arrived in Beijing, and he was not familiar with the place, and he was still taking root.

Even if he goes to high school in one fell swoop, even if he gets a top prize in the exam, it is still a world of difference from Guangyang Palace.

And everyone in this dynasty knows that the only one who can argue with Empress Dowager Gu is Empress Jiang.

"General Jiang is just one of the queen's nephews. Even if he is favored, he may not be able to make the queen obey him; Even if they can, people may not be willing to return favors to this point. Qiu Yulan pondered how to ensure that Jiang Yashuang would take care of this matter, "But last time he lured me into the battle between the two queens...... Maybe you can start here? ”

The next day, Ruan Qingyan came to see her, and she asked, "Has anything happened between the two queens recently?" ”

Ruan Qingyan didn't know why she suddenly cared about this, and said, "Nothing, what's wrong?" ”

"Last time, cousin, you said that the Queen Mother gave death to four close female officials, what happened?" Qiu Yulan thought about it and asked.

Ruan Qingyan glanced at her strangely, but still replied: "This matter is also strange, those four female officials are all people who have served the Queen Mother for many years, and they are usually deeply liked by the Queen Mother." I listened deeply...... I heard the Hua family say that those four are in the palace, even if the prince and princess see them, they don't dare to slack off. As a result, the Queen Mother said that if she gave death, she would give death, and the crime was still stealing the property in the Queen Mother's palace! ”

"The prime minister's family is a seven-grade official, not to mention that the master is the queen mother, how can he lack money?" Qiu Yulan shook his head and said, "No matter how short-sighted you are, you can serve in front of the Queen Mother for many years, and you will always have a sense of proportion." This must have been made up. ”

"What are you doing with this?" Ruan Qingyan asked again.

"Yesterday, I suddenly remembered that Cousin Kang entered the palace for a banquet." Qiu Yulan calmly perfunctory, "She is a commoner's daughter, but she returned a cat, she can actually be invited to the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet?" It was an occasion where officials and their dependents of the fifth rank or above could go. The queen mother and the queen are not in harmony, the queen does this, is she not afraid that the queen mother will reprimand her for not understanding the rules? ”

Ruan Qingyan muttered: "It's really suspicious...... However, this invitation was sent by Princess Yongfu, who is said to be innocent and young, perhaps on a whim. ”

In order to divert his attention, Qiu Yulan pushed the boat down the river when the goal was achieved: "What my cousin said is that I forgot that Princess Yongfu is not very old. ”

Then he said a few short words to Ruan Qingyan - because the Chinese New Year was coming up, there were a lot of things to be busy, and Ruan Qingyan couldn't sit in the Green Rose Garden for long, so he was asked away by Ruan An.

As soon as he left, Qiu Lulan called Su He to him alone and whispered in his ear.

Su He didn't hear a few words and said happily: "Go and tell General Jiang the truth?" Then he wondered, "Why did you ask him out in private?" If he doesn't believe it, he can come to the house during the day and ask his cousin to accompany you to explain the situation! ”

"I heard that my grandfather didn't have a big deal with Qin Guogong in the past, and General Jiang Xiao came over openly, who knows if it will make Qin Guogong unhappy?" Qiu Yulan frowned and said, "And just say a few words at the back door of the General's Mansion, are you still afraid that I will suffer?" That little general has always had a good reputation, and besides, with his family background being willing to be a lion cat, how can he treat me badly? ”

Su He said worriedly: "In case he has a preconceived idea of the royal mansion, thinking that you have other ...... Lie to him? ”

"No case, is it just for Cousin Kang to take credit?" Qiu Yulan pushed her, "Don't rub it off!" Listen to me! ”
