Qin Ruo knew that if there was no Qin Luan, Su Rong would not have thought of going to him, and now he might still be in the bitter cold land.

He took Qin Luan to the courtyard for her, and said ashamedly: "This is the yard I asked people to clean up and live in for you, it is a little shabby, now I am busy in the court all day, I can't personally stare at the repair and arrangement, and the new buyers have not been adjusted, and it is not easy to use, now that you are here, how do you need to arrange and repair, how about you get it yourself?" ”

Qin Luan nodded, "Brother is just busy, and the affairs of the mansion can be left to me for the time being." ”

Qin Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately gave the account book key to Qin Luan, "Thank you, sister." ”

Qin Luan pursed his lips and smiled, "It's time for my brother to marry a sister-in-law." ”

Qin Ruo coughed lightly, "Don't worry, I'll talk about it when I bring my mother in." ”

Qin Luan's head.

Entering the house, Qin Ruo asked Qin Luan to rest, Qin Luan shook his head, "I'm not tired, my brother finally took a day off, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's talk for a while!" Otherwise, Ming'er, you will be busy with court affairs again, and I am afraid that you will not even have the time to speak. ”

Qin Ruo sighed, "Yes, there are too many affairs between the DPRK and China, the rebellion and the post-war everything is half in ruins, after the princess returned to the court, almost all of them started over, and now she has been busy for three or four months, and she has finally seen some results, but it is far from enough." I'm not the busiest one, a few days ago, the wife was tired and sick, and after four or five days, she didn't recover, and then she went to court again. ”

Qin Luan was surprised, "Is the situation in Southern Chu so imminent?" ”

"Yes, the court is heavy, and countless things are piled up, and the lady needs to take ideas and policies, and everything is tricky." Qin Ruodao: "In the first two months, the entire court was busy, but now it is a little better, after all, you are here, I can still take a day off, if it was two months ago, I would not be able to leave, I can only let the people in the house go to the city gate to pick you up." ”

Qin Luan sighed, "It's really hard." ”

Qin Ruo smiled, "Although the hard work is hard, it is also very fulfilling every day, and I have to thank my sister for giving me the opportunity to be chosen by the princess, otherwise, I feel that in this life, I am afraid that it is hopeless." ”

"No, the Qin family will always be rehabilitated, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that if there is no princess to ask for you, you only need to wait patiently for a few years." Qin Luan shook his head.

Qin Ruo smiled bitterly, "After working as a coolie on that ground for a few years, I'm afraid that I have already wiped out my fighting spirit and have no ambition anymore." ”

Qin Luan was silent, but still said: "After all, it is my brother's own blessing." ”

She also smiled bitterly, "At the beginning, I didn't think that I could ask the princess to bring your brother to you, but I wanted to come to Nanchu with her myself, but she didn't agree, but instead asked the prince for your brother." Although there is a reason for me, the key is that you are talented, brother, and you are known by the princess and think that you can use it. ”

Qin Ruoyan looked at Qin Luan when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, and still asked in a low voice: "You like Zhou Gu's affairs, have you been noticed by the princess?" ”

Qin Luan paused.

Qin Ruo sighed, "You have entered the East Palace at the beginning, do you still like Zhou Gu?" How smart the lady is, if you still like it, no matter how well you hide it, you can't hide it in front of her. ”

Qin Luan lowered his head, "Perhaps!" ”

Qin Ruoyan heard the words and asked, "What about now?" I remember your last letter, telling me that you didn't want to come to Nanchu, why did you change your mind in a short period of time? ”

Qin Luan pursed his lips, raised his head, and looked at Qin Ruo, "Because at that time, I wanted to stay in the East Palace and be the prince's woman." ”

Qin Ruo was taken aback.

Qin Luan tugged at the corners of his mouth, "I didn't expect that the prince would marry the lord of Duanhua, and he said it himself, there is only the crown princess, and in the future, there will be no side concubines, Liangdi, and concubines by his side, and there will be no six palaces in the future, and there will be no concubines, only queens." ”

Qin Ruo looked at Qin Luan in shock.

Qin Luan said calmly: "The prince gave me three paths, let me choose, and I chose to come to Nanchu." ”

"Which three paths?"

Qin Luan said them one by one.

Qin Ruo was shocked and in a complicated mood, he looked at Qin Luan, "I remember, Xie Lin is not bad." ”

"He's good, but big brother, I don't like him. Moreover, the Ruian Mansion is not what I want, for me, if I can't marry the person I like, it is to stand next to the most powerful person, if I can't stand next to the most powerful person, then I want to have the power in my own hands, if I can't have the power in my own hands......" Qin Luan said word by word: "I would rather die." ”

Qin Ruo was speechless for a while.

After a long time, he said: "When the Qin family was never defeated, and when my mother taught you, I never saw you have this idea, when did you have it?" ”

"At that time, I liked Zhou Gu, thinking that it was possible, after all, the ladies in Beijing are beautiful, and no one can be on my right. And you are good friends with Zhou Gu, every time Zhou Gu comes to look for you at home, he occasionally bumps into me, he is not like the opposite Duanhua, he does not hide or avoid, and occasionally says a few words to me, I think that as long as he does not dislike me, I can marry him. Also, my reputation and family background, even if I am the crown princess, it is possible, after all, at that time, the East Palace was suppressed, and my father was reused. But the Qin family was defeated. ”

Qin Luan said: "Zhou Gu and Xie Lin robbed me on the day, brother, you don't know how happy I am, but I didn't expect that the old protector stood at the door of the protector's mansion with a military stick, and told Zhou Gu that he had a fiancée in Jiangning County, at that moment, my sky fell, and later, Zhou Gu did not resist strongly, and let the old protector ask His Majesty to call the shots, and gave me to the East Palace, I thought, the sky is endless, maybe the East Palace is also my way, but who would have thought that the prince would not touch the women in the East Palace at all, the day I just entered the East Palace, He asked the housekeeper to warn me, and in the next year, he really only had court affairs, and he was not close to women......"

Qin Luan took a deep breath and looked at Qin Ruo, "Now, he wants to marry Duanhua, and the holy decree has been given." Brother, I just came to Nanchu because I had no way, and now it's not that I really want to come to Nanchu. ”

Qin Ruo was completely speechless.

Qin Luan confessed to him, "So, brother, can you talk to the princess, or implore the princess, since there is a shortage of people in the court, and the princess is not stingy with women, can I enter the court?" ”

Qin Ruo's mood was very complicated, as if she didn't know her sister who grew up since she was a child, she was obviously raised by his mother to be a beautiful girl, but now, she has her own ambitions, and she clearly tells him what she wants in her heart, from the defeat of the Qin family, to her begging him to take care of her, to her entering the East Palace as a female official, to now, refusing Xie Lin's marriage, or coming to Nanchu.

He rubbed his eyebrows, "Although the princess uses women, but now it is only limited to the people around her, there are no women in the court at present, there are women in Nanchu, but the learning is different from men, even if the women in Nanchu are relatively open to the women in Daliang, and there are not so many constraints, but they are limited to some positions that are not very important......"
