Chapter 7: Temptation
Seeing Qin Changning's cunning appearance, the eldest princess knew that she must have something in mind, but thinking that she didn't want her child to become an indifferent and ruthless person, she relieved her mouth and said, "That's it, I know that you are hard and soft-hearted when you think of sisterhood, so you can go and see the three girls, but you must not let her out without permission, you know?" ”
Qin Changning saw that the eldest princess agreed to go to see Qin Miao by herself, so she bent her knees happily and said happily, "Remember, child, mother, then I'll go to see the third sister first, come to Furong Garden for lunch at noon, and remember to let Mama Zicen get some more dishes I like to eat." ”
After speaking, she didn't wait for the eldest princess to finish speaking, turned around and pulled Lu Qi and ran out quickly, the eldest princess looked at her daughter, shook her head and smiled, and said to the first-class maid Biyu who had just come in with a snack, "I got sick, but I was still so lively, and there was no character." ”
Biyu put down the pastry in her hand, with a smile on her face, "The princess should be happy, the county lord is still so lively and moving, it is your little padded jacket." ”
The smile on the eldest princess's face deepened, but she said, "She, it's good to let this palace worry less about snacks." ”
Qin Changning only slowed down her steps a little after she walked out of Furong Garden, she didn't know if she had shown her flaws in front of the eldest princess, but she knew that she had to be careful with every step she took now.
"Lu Qi, take me to the ancestral hall."
The ancestral hall is in the most remote place in the backyard of the palace, and the Jin palace covers a wide area, and it is already an hour later when the master and servant arrive at the ancestral hall, Qin Changning stood at the door of the ancestral hall, looking at the solemn building, only feeling that it gives people an extremely cold feeling, she sighed, knocked on the door of the ancestral hall, and after a while, the grandmother inside raised her voice and responded, "Who?" ”
Without waiting for Qin Changning to speak, Lu Qi raised his voice and shouted, "It's the county lord, hurry up and open the door." ”
"It's coming, it's coming." It was a grandmother who opened the door, Qin Changning frowned and glanced at her, she said that she was a rough envoy in the princess's courtyard, and it was the princess who asked her to come over and stare at the third young lady.
When Qin Changning heard her say this, his brows furrowed even more fiercely, and he glanced at Lu Qi without a trace, Lu Qi nodded knowingly, and called out to the grandmother, "Mama Tian, you and I go outside to guard, the county lord has something to ask the third lady alone." ”
"This..." Mama Tian showed a look of hesitation on her face.
Qin Changning's thirteen-year-old face immediately showed an irresistible majesty, "What? What I say doesn't count? ”
Mama Tian hurriedly shook her head, "It's not true, it's just that the princess ordered the slaves and maids to guard the third young lady every inch of the ??? If the princess knew..."
Saying this, Mama Tian glanced at Qin Changning hesitantly, and immediately lowered her brows.
"Do you think that the lord of this county will appear here without the permission of his mother?" After finishing speaking, he ignored Mama Tian and walked straight to the ancestral hall, but a cold voice came, "Lu Qi, remember the words of the county lord, no one is allowed to approach!" ”
Lu Qi bowed, then turned to look at Mama Tian with a calm face, and said with a smile, "Why is Mama Tian so worried, our county lord came to interrogate the third lady with the permission of the princess." ”
The emotion in Mama Tian's eyes flashed, and a trace of doubt appeared on her face, "Interrogation? ”
Lu Qi nodded, stretched out her hand to close the door of the ancestral hall, and then continued, "Although the third young lady did not directly harm the county lord who fell into the water, but she is to blame, our county lord will definitely not let her go easily." ”
Lu Qi thought of the county lord's arrangement for him when he was on the road, and thought in his heart that he must do the things that the county lord ordered.
Here Qin Changning looked at Qin Miao who was kneeling on the kneeling futon and copying Buddhist scriptures, although she couldn't see Qin Miao's face when she stood at the door, she only saw that she was wearing a green coat, and the small jacket she was wearing outside was also blue, judging from the straight back of her kneeling, she had no way to believe that such a person would do something and not admit it.
Qin Miao also felt that someone was coming in, and listening to the footsteps, it didn't look like the Tian Mama who was staring at her all the time, so she looked back, and the moment she saw Qin Changning, her brows furrowed without a trace, and then sneered, "It turned out that the county lord was here, why, it was to see how stupid I was, and I would enter your trap at once?" ”
Saying this, Qin Miao lowered her eyes, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with an imperceptible self-deprecation, "I don't know what I did wrong to make the county lord so jealous of me?" Let you frame me three or four times like this, and now in order to get me punished, you have used a bitter meat trick, the county lord doesn't know, even if I am punished in the ancestral hall, will I go out in the end? When it comes to you, if the wind and cold die by then, have you ever thought about the consequences? ”
Qin Chang listened to Qin Miao quietly, a twelve-year-old girl was articulate and clear-minded, which actually gave her the feeling that Qin Miao in front of her might be a person from the same way.
"Can I interpret my sister's words as if you care about me?" Qin Changning's voice was very soft, but his gaze at Qin Miao was very sharp.
Qin Miao frowned, put down the pen in his hand, but still knelt straight, "The county lord thinks too much, I just want to live well as Qin Miao." ”
Qin Changning's eyes narrowed, like she wanted to live well as Qin Changning?
Thinking of this, she walked over, squatted down beside Qin Miao, and reached out to turn two pages of the Buddhist scriptures copied by Qin Miao, although the handwriting was not very good-looking, but it could be seen that it was very attentive and very powerful, this was not at all like the notes that an eleven-year-old girl should have, and the messy handwriting may be that she deliberately confused other people's vision? Thinking of this, Qin Changning seemed to be more sure that Qin Miao might be the same person as her.
"Want to live well as Qin Miao?" Qin Changning repeated Qin Miao's words, then took his eyes away from the Buddhist scriptures, looked at Qin Miao faintly, and said, "What does my sister mean, you are not Qin Miao?" ”
"What is my sister talking about? Why can't my sister understand? I'm not Qin Miao, so who am I? Qin Miao looked at Qin Changning calmly, her eyes met her, and her gaze was even more ridiculous.
Qin Changning turned her gaze away, she knew that several young ladies in this palace were not stupid, on the contrary, one was smarter than the other, she turned to look at the tablet placed on the ancestral hall, and said softly, "But the eldest sister said that I went to the Lake Pavilion after receiving your invitation, but the third sister said that I framed you, this is a bit unreasonable, right?" ”
Qin Miao's face suddenly turned cold, she looked at Qin Changning suddenly and said, "Nonsense! I have never asked you to go to the Lake Pavilion, if I have something to find the county lord, why ask you to come to the Lake Pavilion on a cold day, wouldn't it be better to go directly to the county lord's Chang An Xuan? ”
"Yes, that's where I wonder." Qin Changning's voice was cold, but it was unusually firm.
