Gu Ziqiu is also an old minister in the court - and he is one of the few who keeps to himself, has never made trouble for the emperor, and still has a little bit of imperial favor.

Previously, Concubine Rong, although she was grounded for a long time because she was drunk without permission, it did not affect the Hou Mansion.

But now, Ethan actually said that his master was An Lehou?

The sheer amount of information, not to mention Fang Tingyu and Ji Xiu, even if Xiao Zaiyang heard it, he didn't slow down for a while.

The silence in the room spread silently, and countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Zaiyang's heart.

Although it sounds incredible, if you are suspicious and think about it carefully, it seems that everything has traces to follow: why is Concubine Rong, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, drunk in her hands, and why is An Lehou never greedy for power......

After all, only if you don't have an official position, it's not worth the suspicion of the superiors, hiding in the shadows and running a drunken business.

What's more, Xiao Zaiyang happened to remember that his father was forced outside the palace by means of window flowers, and among the courtiers who walked by one by one, there seemed to be an Anle Hou.

However, at that time, I only thought that An Lehou was a smoke bomb, but I didn't expect him to be the protagonist.

Xiao Zaiyang turned the white jade cup in his hand again: "Let someone go and get the account book."

Back to He Qianwei.

She fled from the courtyard where Xiao Zaiyang temporarily lived, and when she returned to her own courtyard, she happened to meet Ruolan walking out with a food box.

As soon as Leng Buding met, both parties were quite surprised, and after looking at each other, He Qianwei broke the silence: "Auntie, what are you going to do? But what's wrong with lunch?"

"There's nothing wrong with making every dish to the girl's liking." Ruolan shook her head slightly, "It's the slave and maid who trespassed, thinking that the girl still wants to have dinner with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, so she took it upon herself to prepare to send lunch over."

Ruolan was about to kneel down and ask for guilt after speaking, but He Qianwei, who was weak-hearted, hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her, and gave Qiu Ying next to her a look.

"Auntie, there's no need to be like this." She said, "Originally, this was the plan, but Lord Fang suddenly visited, so I wouldn't be able to stay long."

Lord Fang, I'm sorry, I'm tired of you and then take the blame.

He Qianwei repented in her heart, but her face did not change, as if there was really such a thing.

Qiu Ying didn't know why, but out of trust in her own young lady, she still took the food box in Ruolan's hand and persuaded her: "My aunt is also worried about Miss's body, so she made a mistake in her busyness, where is the need to punish?"

After nearly twenty years of ups and downs in the palace, Ruolan did carve the rules of etiquette into her bones, but at the same time, she knew what was wrong, so she didn't say anything more when she saw this, but took Qiu Ying to put lunch on the table.

He Qianwei sat down at the table next and aimed at the dishes she liked recently, and from time to time she secretly glanced at Ruolan by the action of picking up vegetables, and sighed very much in her heart.

In terms of intimacy, Ruolan is actually the most distant from her.

He Qianwei thought absentmindedly while eating.

However, after so many years, the other party has been wholeheartedly planning for Yaoguang Hall and himself, and has never done anything to betray the master, and there has long been a master-servant relationship between the two.

Although it still can't stop Ruolan's overly cautious character.

When He Qianwei learned the palace ceremony, he was not a good student, so he naturally had a headache about it, but he didn't have a big impact before, so he couldn't see the drawbacks.

It wasn't until today that she got an unexpected sentence from Xiao Zaiyang, and while her heart was in turmoil, she unconsciously thought deeply under the influence of Ruolan's performance today.

The palace is like this - there are many etiquettes, there are differences between dignity and inferiority, and it is far from her original character.

The emperor doted on He Qianwei, and occasionally smiled when he met her, and Xiao Zaiyang directly exempted the two of them from all the etiquette in private, and rarely called themselves lonely in front of her, so that He Qianwei could live freely even if she was in the deep palace.

But the heavy etiquette never really left.

After all, the royal family, as the most noble and wealthy one in the world, always has some special treatment that belongs to them to emphasize the supremacy of imperial power.

Just like those hairpin families and Qingliu families, they have their own persistence.

If He Qianwei was just He Qianwei and didn't have too much to do with the royal family, she would naturally be at ease, and the imperial historian would not provoke the displeasure of the Son of Heaven in order to get along with her.

But what if she becomes the crown princess or even the queen?

The mother of a country with iron nails, I am afraid that only those noble daughters of families who are backed by their families can satisfy the officials.

He Qianwei thinks that she can't look at everything in a chic way, and she doesn't care about the evaluation of the world.

If he impulsively agreed to His Royal Highness the Prince, how would he face this? What if, refusal?

In the next few days, both Xiao Zaiyang and He Qianwei tacitly avoided the opportunity to meet.

A group of subordinates who didn't know the truth were scared, until they found that although the atmosphere between the two masters was a little strange, they didn't want to make contradictions, but seemed to be ...... Feelings are better?

After all, Xiao Zaiyang has changed from one question a day to three questions a day. And although He Qianwei doesn't have any special performance, she always pays extra attention to the movements of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Ji Xiu couldn't figure it out, Ruolan was the same, and the other two untrained little maids were even more confused.

But they have always been open-minded, since they are not estranged in vain, then wait for the parties themselves to solve it privately.

I can't do anything by myself.

As a result, I waited until Yangzhou was over and set off to return to the capital.

Before leaving, Ji Xiu hesitated for a long time, and he didn't dare to find out He Qianwei's dusty carriage, so he could only throw the question to Xiao Zaiyang sideways.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pondered for a moment at that time, and also did not give a positive answer, but asked Ji Xiu to ask He Qianwei by himself.

Ji Xiu did so bitterly.

When he came to the door, He Qianwei was in the courtyard to cool off.

When she saw Ji Xiu, she was just confused, but before she could say a word, Ji Xiu intercepted the conversation first, and explained the purpose of her coming back in a few words.

"Is it time to go back to the capital in a blink of an eye......" A few wisps of sorrow appeared between He Qianwei's eyebrows, and she lowered her head and muttered to herself, as if she had made up her mind: "No need, since Your Majesty has specially ordered it, I will still ride in the same carriage with His Highness."

Ji Xiu took the order and left.

And on the day of departure, He Qianwei and Xiao Zaiyang seemed to have a heart, and they almost went to the carriage with their front and back feet.

The two glanced at each other, Xiao Zaiyang took half a step forward and lifted the curtain, and stretched out his hand to He Qianwei: "Come up."

He Qianwei took a deep breath, holding the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, and resolutely held him.

After getting into the carriage, as soon as He Qianwei sat down, she took out a book with a blue cover from her arms and handed it to His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Your Highness's chess game." She raised an eyebrow, "I've finished reading it."

Xiao Zaiyang seemed a little disappointed: "Hmm."

He took the game, opened the drawer and put it in, and asked, "Have you finished reading it?"

"I'm not going to finish reading it." He Qianwei looked proud, "I have studied all the chess games on this clearly, if Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can still test me, and I am satisfied."

"Not really." Xiao Zaiyang smiled, "I haven't had time to see it yet, I definitely won't give you a chance."

He Qianwei pretended to sigh, very regretful.

After the two talked a few words about this, the carriage also swayed and drove all the way out of Yangzhou City.

As the surrounding population became more and more sparse, even the suburbs were once again left far behind, and a group of carriages were linked head to tail, and compared with the time when they came, there were visibly more officers and soldiers guarding the surrounding area.

Looking at people who don't know the inside story, I'm afraid that for a while and a half they can't be sure whether Ethan is being escorted together, and if so, in which carriage?

The wheels repeatedly rolled on the official road, echoing the sound of horses' hooves, becoming a special kind of background sound in the boring journey.

He Qianwei's heart seemed to be slowly swaying with the carriage, and finally calmed down, giving her infinite courage, she looked at Xiao Zaiyang, who was looking down and thinking deeply, and took the initiative to speak, "Your Highness, I have something to say to you."

"What does Qingqing want to say?" Xiao Zaiyang laughed and asked her in a low voice.

「…… Anyway, it has something to do with the previous events." He Qianwei coughed lightly.

"When I first found out, I didn't know how to answer, so when I calmed down and thought about it, I felt intimidated and in a dilemma." She didn't give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a chance to answer, but said to herself, "That position is too important for anyone."

"But you only have to care about my opinion." "I can make a decision on this matter. No one but you can set me back."

He Qianwei raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I know. Your Highness is such a character."

The emperor doesn't have to think about it to know that he will definitely be biased towards Xiao Zaiyang, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does have the confidence to say so.

She lowered her eyes and stared at the embroidery on the hem of her clothes, and subconsciously clenched her fists: "But as long as you are in that position, you are destined to not escape the eyes of others."

"It's true that I was born in the capital, but I've seen the wind in the wilderness day and night in Wancheng, and it's far from those cumbersome etiquette and humility—I'm not fit here."

"If Your Highness thinks that I am worthy of admiration now, what if I polish off the edges and corners and blend into the bells, drums, and jade of the capital?"

"There won't be such a thing." Xiao Zaiyang said firmly, "I won't let you be burdened by the eyes of others, forced to live in a frame of identity, and survive day after day in a sullen mood."

"But I don't want to be trapped in the back house."

"The harem doesn't deserve your resourcefulness."

"The status of the Son of Heaven is precious, and the royal blood can no longer be thin."

"I am the same person as my father, and I only take one scoop of weak water for 3,000."

He Qianwei suddenly raised her hand to block her eyes, and her voice was inaudible: "...... I've always wanted to go back to Wancheng. The blood is a sea of revenge."

"I know." Xiao Zaiyang also lowered his voice and touched the little girl's head, "I'm the same as you."

"Your Highness."

He Qianwei suddenly grabbed his wrist: "What you said to me before, everything has come true, you have never deceived me, and now you have to do it like this."

"Me too...... I am pleased with you."
