Contrary to the expectations of the Jiang brothers, Empress Dowager Gu did not mention the punishment of Jiang Yashuang in the edict at all, and only said that he would be allowed to enter the palace for a while.

Of course, the Jiang family did not hesitate to speculate with the greatest malice about the Empress Dowager Gu, so when they heard this, they did not agree immediately, but detained the inner servant of the decree with both soft and hard measures, and entered the courtyard of Old Madam Tao to discuss: "Does the fourth aunt know this edict?" ”

"I don't know." For the sex of Queen Jiang. Son, Old Madam Tao knows best, and when she heard this, she frowned and said, "It's just that I called Nineteen to go to the palace, do I have to get the Queen Mother's decree?" You four aunts sent someone to shout, can't you? ”

"And now?" Jiang Yadan asked hurriedly.

Old Madam Tao raised her chin towards the room where the waiter was in charge: "Stabilize over there, you hurry up and go into the palace to tell your fourth aunt." When I'm done delivering the news, I'll let Nineteen go with the waiter. ”

As for this back and forth, Empress Dowager Gu was impatient...... The Jiang family doesn't care.

However, Jiang Yadan hadn't gone out yet, but Queen Jiang also got the news and sent someone over: "The nineteenth prince is going to enter the palace, isn't it?" And rest assured, Niangniang already knows that she is now waiting in the Thai Time Palace! ”

Mrs. Tao asked, "I don't know what the Queen Mother means?" ”

"The Queen Mother wants to get rid of the nineteen princes' talent and fame, but Dou Saijiu and Zhuang Siye are unwilling, and this will convene the relevant courtiers to discuss in the Taishi Palace." Come to the humane, "The queen mother, please don't worry, let the nineteenth prince go through the motions." ”

Old Madam Tao frowned and said, "Since it's just a scene, why do you have to go to nineteen?" ”

The person who came laughed: "The slave doesn't know, but the mother told me like this." ”

"Then nineteen, you should go for a trip, be careful!" Mrs. Tao thought about it and felt that her daughter would definitely not harm her little grandson, so she beckoned Jiang Yashuang to her, took care of Li Yupei's ears for him, and instructed, "Look at your fourth aunt in everything, and let her come forward for you." ”

At about the same time, Zhang Guogong's Mansion, Mr. Leshan was also teaching Qingwu in person: "Empress Dowager Gu seems to be seeking justice for you, but in fact she is coming for you!" ”

Guo Qingwu asked: "Please tell me in detail!" ”

"Jiang Yashuang killed people on the street and abused you, the prince of the country, of course, the crime is not small." Mr. Leshan said lightly, "But he is a disciple of the Jiang family, and Jingzhao Feng Rugui is from the Jiang family, so he killed him from the beginning to find a reason to treat your entourage as a bandit manslaughter, and when he was done, he said that the injuries on your body were done by the Jiang family's subordinates when he was not present." The second queen has always been evenly matched, and it is said that the normal result of this matter should be that the Jiang family should hand over a few scapegoats, and then give you a gift to make amends, so as to round up the face of Zhang Guogong and the Zhenxi Army, you are also magnanimous and don't care. And that's the end of it for now. ”

But now the Empress Dowager Gu not only refuses to give up, but also points to Jiang Yashuang's fame...... Do you know that this Jiang Yashuang is the grandson of Qin Guogong, although his father Jiang Tianchi is the second son of Qin Guogong, he took over the position of Qin Guogong and Jibei Hou, and when it comes to the importance of his status in the Jiang family, he is far above his brother Jiang Tianqi, the squire of the military department! ”

Mr. Leshan said hesitantly, "If there is no accident, in the future, Qin Guogong's team will be supported by Jiang Tianchi, and among the three sons under Jiang Tianchi's knees, it is clear that the most highly anticipated is this Jiang Yashuang - he returned to Kui County to participate in the county test last year and won the first case, and it is rumored that he will continue to return to Kui County to participate in the township test this year!" You count the days, it's the end of February now, the distance between the capital and Kui County, he will leave in June and July! Now that the Queen Mother has made an article about his fame, not to mention how much time he has to delay his reading in the palace three times and twice, let's just say that he is only eighteen years old now, and he is facing the threat of losing his fame, can he settle down? ”

Speaking of which, why doesn't Qingwu understand?

"Empress Dowager Gu tossed Jiang Yashuang so much, how could the Jiang family let go of Qingwu, who also had to prepare for the exam?" He frowned, "Once Qingwu falls to Sun Mountain because of his name, it not only meets the wishes of the Queen Mother and Xingkang to let Qingwu continue to stay in Beijing, but also puts the responsibility on the Jiang family......"

Mr. Leshan said: "Another point, isn't there news recently that the fifteenth miss of the Jiang family is about to be married to His Royal Highness King Qi?" That young lady is the daughter of the Jiang family's big house, but Jiang Yashuang is the son of the fourth house, the Empress Dowager Gu is holding him at this time, Queen Jiang is bound to focus on protecting her nephew, so how can she not neglect her niece's marriage? In this way, there will inevitably be a gap between the Jiang family's big house and the fourth room! ”

Guo Qingwu said unexpectedly: "The Jiang family's big house is so unreasonable? "Even if Empress Jiang doesn't personally manage King Qi's marriage to a concubine, can she still be shabby in the life of her grandiose eldest son? In contrast, of course, Jiang Yashuang, who was threatened by the Queen Mother to remove his fame, was in a more critical situation.

"It's not that they're unreasonable, it's that they're interested!" Mr. Leshan said hesitantly, "If the Jiang family wins the battle for the prince, it will not be Empress Jiang herself who will be the regent in the future?" Could it be that Empress Jiang would give up the power of the world just because Princess Qi is her own niece?! And now Princess Qi was chosen by Queen Jiang herself, and she is not just such a niece who can choose, you say she will choose a princess who she can't control?! In this case, who is she more partial to her brothers, and how important is it? Especially that Jiang Tianqiao is only the queen's cousin, but although Jiang Tianchi is not the same mother as the queen, he is always closer to his father and brother than his cousin, right? ”

Guo Qingwu suddenly said: "In short, Empress Dowager Gu is determined to use Qingwu as a cover this time!" ”

He frowned, "Is there a way sir can do it?" Qingwushi is unwilling to be so manipulated by the Queen Mother! ”

"Nature is summing." Mr. Leshan said hesitantly, "The Jiang family's in-laws are full of courts, Lingzun is still far away in the west, and the queen mother is fueling the troubles, fighting with them in this capital, even if I have three heads and six arms, I can only do nothing in vain...... I can only reconcile with them. ”

Qingwu was embarrassed: "I said today that I was unwell and refused to enter the palace, and I was already displeased to come to the Queen Mother, if I still hide from the Queen Mother to seek peace with the Jiang family...... In case the Jiang family doesn't agree, or if they do, they pass the news to the Queen Mother, ......? ”

Mr. Leshan said: "So I have to find a reason." He groaned, "I heard that among the unmarried daughters of the Jiang family, in addition to the fifteenth young lady who has been designated as the princess of Qi, there are two or three young ladies, all of whom are very good-looking. ”

Guo Qingwu was surprised: "What do you mean?" ”

"March is coming soon, and the queen's mother is on the day of the Shangsi Festival, and there will be a banquet in the palace to celebrate." Mr. Leshan said calmly, "You will also enter the palace to congratulate you at that time, waiting for the opportunity to see one or two noble girls from the Jiang family, and claim to fall in love with them at first sight...... Using this as an excuse to reconcile with the Jiang family, it can be regarded as a famous teacher. ”

Qingwu groaned: "So the Queen Mother will also think that Qingwu is easy to be confused by beauty and is useless?" ”

Mr. Leshan said: "Not bad! The Queen Mother is now mainly coaxed by your father and son after all, you are young and shallow in her eyes, young people are confused by beauty and do some foolish things, the Queen Mother will never poison you, but will coax you to change your mind, and on the other hand, she will aim at the Jiang family - so that even if the Jiang family still wants to trouble you for Jiang Yashuang, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will not dare to let you continue to be contacted by them. ”

Guo Qingwu nodded cautiously: "Thank you, Mr. for your advice!" ”

…… Qiu Yulan didn't know these things, and she was now receiving a very unexpected visitor - Deng Yi.

Of course, nominally Deng Yi came to visit Qiu Mengmin, but after meeting, he proposed to meet with Qiu Yulan in private, and Qiu Mengmin sent someone to ask Qiu Yulan if he did not object, so he agreed.

The fiancé's meeting this time was far from the previous harmony - Deng Yi split his head and asked: "You did it to hunt down our mother and son?!" ”

"You are the ones who do not believe in your words!" Qiu Yulan sneered, "Why do you still think you are very wronged?!" ”

Deng Yi said angrily: "The most we can do is to let you marry, you are good, you will take our lives as soon as you make a move, it is really vicious!" ”

Qiu Yulan said mockingly: "You are used to the life, why do you think that others can also get used to it?!" ”

"I will be going to participate in the Autumn Festival this year, and if there is no accident, I will participate in the Entrance Examination next year...... Once in high school, he will ask to be released and leave the Guangyang Palace. Deng Yi said upsetly, "This is what the Queen Mother personally promised me, and this is such an opportunity for so many years." You just don't want to cause any more trouble, okay? At most, I won't touch you when you pass the door, and we will be reconciled and separated in a few years, and you can marry whoever you like, when I have to get along with you? ”

Qiu Yulan was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses: "Gu Yan forced you to marry me?" Because of this, you can't warm your book with peace of mind? Thinking of this, he frowned, "I said, why are you so stupid?" I hid before and had nowhere to find it, why didn't I hide until the autumn, so I simply went back to my hometown to take the autumn exam, so that I could rush to Beijing slowly, and count Chenguang just before the spring to come? ”

Deng Yi sneered and said, "It's not thanks to you!" Originally, I thought so, and in order to prevent him from embarrassing my mother, I persuaded my mother to go with me. As a result, after only a few days of hiding in the flat mountains, the people you sent found the neighborhood...... If you don't return to Beijing, what else do you talk about leaving Guangyang Palace, your life will be gone! ”

"Can I be blamed for this?" Although the two groups of people are not from the Qiu Tuolan faction, she doesn't care about recognizing it, "I asked someone to ask you before, what are you going to do with the previous agreement, but you disappeared without an explanation, who knows if you were instructed by the Gu family to drag me down like this?" It's not me Gu Yan who you're hiding, you should tell me first! If you don't say how I know it's not coming for me! ”

Deng Yi said with a gloomy face: "You are you?" You can send out a group of outlaws without showing any water—although I know it's the way to the cliff next door, but it's always the power you can use—and I can trust all the people I can trust besides a scholar, even my mother ......."

His expression darkened, and he sighed, "Anyway, I thought that I could learn some martial arts from you and go to the rivers and lakes, but this attack only realized that my talent for learning martial arts is really ...... Right now, my only chance is to get the title of the gold list as soon as possible. If you have to hold me back at this time, then don't blame me for listening to the Queen Mother. ”

"You listened to the Queen Mother's usefulness?" Qiu Yulan asked speechlessly, "Will the Queen Mother not know your situation over the years?" But did she help you? Do you think that your title on the gold list will make her pay attention to you? I don't want to think about it, just a jinshi is a glorious ancestor for ordinary people, but what is it worth for the queen mother! ”

Deng Yi said lightly: "So I should be disheartened after listening to your words, and I hit myself to death?!" ”

"......" Qiu Yulan was speechless for a while, and was about to say something, when someone in the inner room suddenly said: "You want to concentrate on studying and preparing for the exam, why is it difficult?" As long as you openly declare that you have broken off the marriage contract with Lan Lan immediately after you go out, I will arrange for you to live in my courtyard, and ensure that Gu Yan will not disturb you when he puts on his wings! ”

But Jiang Yashuang happened to come over.
