"I went to the Grand Pudu Temple on the outskirts of Beijing." Du Ruo lowered his eyebrows and replied cautiously, "Miss Li wants to pray for her deceased grandparents and deceased father, Lord Qin seems to have some errand to do, what kind of errand is unknown, the two should not be together, just a coincidence." ”

The corners of Mu Wan's mouth drooped slightly, "What is the difference between an appointment or a coincidence, a person like Qin Zeng will walk by his side because of who is with him all the way?" ”

"In this way, the friendship between Miss Li and Lord Qin is indeed not shallow."

"If Qin Zeng is really a eunuch, it doesn't matter how deep their friendship is, but the noble concubine said that Qin Zeng is not really a eunuch, then their relationship is worth studying."

"Could it be that the two of them have already made a private decision for life, but because of Lord Qin's identity at this time, they can't talk about marriage?"

Mu Wan obviously thought of this possibility, her eyebrows were cold, and she said, "Qin Zeng, is there anyone who doesn't want a man like him?" The fourth sister didn't know that she was a fake eunuch, so she loved him to death, and Li Qingyi was probably not exempt from vulgarity. ”

Du Ruoyan looked at her when he heard this, "That girl, you?" ”

Mu Wan's hand unconsciously rolled up the handkerchief in her hand, the rhododendrons on the handkerchief bloomed gorgeously, and she hooked the corners of her lips: "In the past, no matter how good Qin Zeng is, he is a eunuch after all, I am the daughter of the Mu family, and my father has great military achievements, so naturally I can't have anything to do with a eunuch, but now it is different from the past, Qin Zeng will definitely enter my Mu Wan's bag!" ”

Previously, Mu Wan said that she wanted to marry the best man in the world, so she said this, Du Ruo was not surprised.

"The concubine Niangniang proposed to choose a daughter from the Mu family to become Lord Qin's opponent, although the emperor said that he let Lord Qin make his own decision, but the ninth girl did not dare to fight with the girl, and the seventh girl could not compete with you, and the girl would get what she wanted."

Mu Wan shook her head, "Although the emperor agreed to the food, he didn't explicitly say that the food must be chosen among the Mu family's daughters, what if Qin Zeng took this opportunity to make Li Qingyi Mrs. Qin?" ”

Du Ruo hesitated, "I'm afraid that Young Master Li won't be able to pull his face and let his niece go to make a meal for a eunuch, right?" Spread it out, and you can't let people poke your backbone? ”

Mu Wan hooked her lips and looked at her, "Then the noble concubine asked our sister to make food for Qin Zeng, what do you say?" ”

Du Ruo's face turned pale, and he realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly knelt down, "The slave doesn't choose to say anything for a while......"

"Okay, this is our master and servant, and there is nothing we can't say." Mu Wan stopped what she was doing, got up and walked to the window, "As the daughter of the Mu family, she naturally has to live for the interests of the Mu family, and the same is true for the concubine Niangniang, so don't say anything shameless, interests come first, isn't it?" ”

"That girl means ......"

"My Mu family's daughter can make food for Qin Zeng, and Li Qingyi can't do anything. Her father died early, and her mother remarried to the Wei Mansion, and although her uncle was an upstart, he was only a young master of the crown prince. With such a life experience, to be honest, it is very suitable to give it to Qin Zeng as a pair of food. It's good for the Li Mansion, and the Wei Mansion can also follow suit! ”

Du Ruo was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it, it was indeed such a reason, "Fortunately, with the pressure of the noble concubine, Lord Qin probably wouldn't dare to disobey the yang and take advantage of this loophole, right?" ”

"I hope he can get to know each other better, otherwise, I can't help but destroy Li Qingyi's delicate flower."

Du Ruo hurriedly said: "The slave will let people keep an eye on the movements of the Li family. ”

At this time, the "delicate flower" in Mu Wan's mouth had just arrived at Pudu Temple.

Because it is necessary to pay attention to the news from the Mufu side, Li Qingyi went out relatively late today, and the Dapudu Temple is the most magnificent temple built around the capital, covering a vast area, and the entire Cuifeng Mountain is faintly visible with eaves and arches, and it is obviously impossible for a temple of this scale to be too close to the capital.

Fortunately, Qin Zeng was not in a hurry, the two of them rode a horse and rode in a car, chatting a few words occasionally, and the road was not boring.

It's just that when the two of them arrived at the Great Pudu Temple, there was already a person waiting for Qin Zeng there.

"Qin Zeng! Why did you come, I've been waiting for you for an hour! ”

As soon as Li Qingyi got off the carriage, she heard a delicate female voice coming from the front, she looked up in surprise, and saw a woman in a splendid scarlet robe, running towards Qin Zeng with a cheerful smile, the scorching color was particularly prominent and eye-catching in the late winter when the spring grass had not yet appeared.

Qin Zeng was obviously also surprised by the appearance of the other party, and hurriedly bowed, "Your Royal Highness Princess." ”

The person who came was the fifth daughter of the current emperor, the princess born to the queen, and Princess Ancheng, the sister of the prince.

Princess An Cheng's dress swayed lightly, and she pulled Qin Zeng's sleeve with a smile, her apricot eyes were shining, "You don't have to be polite, I finally came out today, you have to accompany me for a while!" ”

Li Qingyi peeked at Qin Zeng, Qin Zeng's face was as usual, he pulled back his sleeve, and refused: "Princess, the minister has official business." ”

Princess An Cheng pouted, "When did you not have official duties?" That's why I came here early to wait for you, just to save some time, but you didn't come until now. ”

She turned her face, looked at Li Qingyi, and said dissatisfiedly: "You came with this Jiao Didi?" No wonder it's so slow, she must be slowing down your trip! ”

Li Qingyi heard her call herself "Jiao Didi", and slandered in her heart, where is she Jiaodidi?

She stepped forward and saluted: "The courtiers greet Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Princess An Cheng was quite polite, nodded at her, and said, "I know you, for the sake of you who are likely to become the crown princess in the future, this princess will allow you to play with us!" ”

Li Qingyi was stunned when he heard this.

Qin Zeng frowned: "Her Royal Highness the princess is cautious. ”

"What's this, and there's no one else around."

Hearing this, Qin Zeng realized something and asked, "Where did Her Royal Highness the Princess hear this?" ”

"The queen mother is choosing a concubine for the crown prince, and I heard her mention the daughter of the Li family." Princess An Cheng smiled, "If Miss Li becomes the crown princess in the future, she and this princess will be a family!" ”

Li Qingyi was even more shocked when he heard this, and Qin Zeng said with an unchanged face: "Her Royal Highness the princess only heard a few words, and she made such a straightforward judgment, if there is any misunderstanding, wouldn't it be difficult to end it, don't spread this matter again, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." ”

Princess An Cheng puffed out her cheeks and looked dissatisfied, pulled Qin Zeng's sleeve again, shook it and said coquettishly: "Okay! If you don't say it, you won't say it, and it's not a big deal anyway. Let's hurry inside, it's been a long time coming! ”

Li Qingyi stared at her hand holding Qin Zeng's sleeve, and couldn't help but taste it in her heart.

Princess An Cheng is the elder sister of the crown prince, and she and Qin Zeng have also grown up in love.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is precious, so don't stay here for too long, in case there is any accident, it will be difficult for the minister to explain to the emperor and the queen." Qin Zeng brushed away Princess Ancheng's hand again, and raised his voice to order his entourage: "Come on, escort the princess back to the palace!" ”

Princess An Cheng saw that he didn't say anything about his feelings, so she was so angry that she stomped her feet, and ran to the temple gate with her skirt, "I don't want you to accompany me!" ”

Qin Zeng watched her run into the Great Pudu Temple, frowning slightly, very helpless.

Li Qingyi looked at him, "What now?" Are you going to protect the princess? ”
